Jackky Bhagnani returns to acting after six years with Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein': "I wanted the street credibility and respect of Gen Z"

Jackky Bhagnani has returned to acting after a six-year gap with the Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein,' released under his music label Jjust Music. The actor-producer said the song offered him an opportunity to return to the screen with a project that was personally meaningful to him. Bhagnani described himself as a patriot and said the nature of the song played an important role in his decision to face the camera again. “I am a patriot by heart. It’s been quite some time since I faced the camera. So, I thought the best way to come back is with the right cause,” Bhagnani said. The actor's return comes after several years of focusing primarily on film production. According to Bhagnani, stepping away from acting was a conscious decision as he worked behind the scenes and became more involved in producing films.

Although They Play Enemies In Harry Potter, Tom Felton Claims That Daniel Radcliffe Is More Like A Brother To Him

In an interview broadcast Wednesday on CBS Mornings, Felton, 35, spoke candidly about his wonderful friendship with Radcliffe, 33, his former Harry Potter costar, stating that the two are like brothers in real life despite having played antagonists onscreen. In an interview to promote his recently published biography Beyond the Wand, Felton said, "I love the man deeply." We all have busy schedules and don't get to spend as much time with our loved ones as we'd like. And yet, I have always thought of him as a brother. Extreme esteem for him. The actor continued by saying that Radcliffe gives off an exciting vibe whenever he enters a room. In retrospect, Felton said, "it was crucial to me how vital his excitement and, eventually, his professionalism goes down the ranks." And on the other, there's Draco, who he portrayed as "somewhat darker," with "extremely powerful parents," "loads of money," "a big house," and "all the toys," but also as a "bully" and "someone that can't find a way of expressing his light" because he's never been shown any. Of course, these generalizations are oversimplified, but they capture the essence, in my opinion. Felton also discusses his late costar in the Harry Potter films, Robbie Coltrane (who passed away at the age of 72), in his new memoir. According to Felton, the young actors (which also starred Emma Watson and Rupert Grint) benefited greatly from the wisdom of the compassionate Coltrane. According to the author, Robbie was constantly harping on the fact that our mission wasn't to find a cure for cancer. In other words, we weren't trying to save the planet. We weren't trying to be anything more than filmmakers. So we need to keep it in mind, not get too cocky, and enjoy the ride as much as possible. In other words, Felton thinks he had more than a little of Hagrid in him, the great jolly giant who kept his focus on what mattered most.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
