A day after actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an intruder at his Bandra residence, an auto-rickshaw driver Bhajan Singh Rana, who took him to the Lilavati Hospital, said he was not aware that the passenger he was taking to the Hospital was film actor Saif Ali Khan. He said, “I drive my vehicle at night. It was around 2-3 am when I saw a woman trying to hire an auto but nobody stopped. I could also hear calls for a rickshaw from inside the gate. After I took a U-turn and stopped my vehicle at the gate, a man who was covered in blood came out. 2-4 people also accompanied him.” He added, “They put him in the auto...They decided to go to Lilavati. I dropped them off there...I then came to know that he is Saif Ali Khan...I saw him bleeding from his neck and back.” #WATCH | Attack on #SaifAliKhan | Mumbai: Bhajan Singh Rana, autorickshaw driver who rushed the actor to Lilavati Hospital after the attack, says, "I drive my vehicle at night.

For Her Next Film, Maria, Angelina Jolie Has Teamed Up With Spencer And Jackie Director Pablo Larran

-
It was stated that Jolie, now 47 years old, will play the role of Maria Callas, a Greek opera singer born in the United States. The film will be directed by Pablo Larran. According to a news report, the new documentary will be based on factual stories and will recount the turbulent, magnificent, and heartbreaking tale of the life of the world's finest opera singer during her dying days in Paris in the 1970s. The story will be recounted and remade within this period. The next film's screenplay was written by Steven Knight, who also penned the script for Larran's 2021 film Spencer, which featured Kristen Stewart in the role of Princess Diana. The accountability for Maria's life and her legacy is one that I consider extremely important. Jolie, who is in the process of post-production on her fifth film as a director, Without Blood, stated that she would do everything in her power to meet the task. "I will do all I can to take on the challenge," she said. I have always had a lot of respect for Pablo Larran as a director. It is a dream come true to have the opportunity to continue telling Maria's tale with him and with a script written by Steven Knight. Having the opportunity to merge my two greatest and most personal hobbies, opera and movie, has been a long-awaited dream for me, said Larran. The chance to work on this project with Angelina, an extremely courageous and curious artist, is fascinating. A true present. American-Greek opera singer Maria Callas died in Paris of a heart attack at 53 in 1977. Her vocal range spanned three octaves. Natalie Portman's portrayal of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the film Jackie, directed by Larran and released in 2016, earned the actress a nomination for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category. In comparison, Kristen Stewart was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category for her performance in Spencer last year. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Maria Callas's relationship with Aristotle Onassis, whom Jackie Kennedy married in October 1968, nearly five years after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, is a significant connection between Callas's life and the topic of Jackie.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Exorcism review – Russell Crowe v the Devil in cursed horror about a cursed horror

-
The actor plays an actor struggling with a demonically bad film shoot in a well-made yet increasingly messy chiller Like many other dethroned A-listers of his generation, Oscar winner Russell Crowe has found himself a steady career hustling far further down the food chain, headlining B-movies he once would have balked at. The last few years have seen the famed actor crop up in gonzo road rage thriller Unhinged , shepherd the other Hemsworths in war drama Land of Bad , lead the barely released crime thriller Sleeping Dogs earlier this year and become the pope’s exorcist in The Pope’s Exorcist . The latter became something of a surprise hit, first theatrically and then on Netflix, albeit in a rather jokey way, the film most easily remembered for the many memes of Crowe on a scooter. Its success was such that it not only guaranteed a sequel (The Pope’s Exorcist 2 is coming), but it also led to another of his exorcism movies getting saved from streaming hell and being delivered to th...
