Ali Fazal reveals he instantly said yes to Thug Life; says, “A Mani Ratnam film isn’t something you get offered every day, and certainly not alongside someone as iconic as Kamal Haasan”

-
Actor Ali Fazal is set to make his South Indian cinema debut in Mani Ratnam’s upcoming film Thug Life. Starring Kamal Haasan in the lead, the film brings together a cast of actors from both Hindi and South Indian industries. It is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 5 in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. Marking a pivotal new chapter in his versatile career, Ali Fazal revealed that it didn’t take him more than a second to say yes to the project. “There are some calls you get in your life that you know instantly are meant to change the course of your journey — this was one of them,” said Ali. “When you hear the name Mani Ratnam, you don’t just think of cinema — you think of legacy, you think of storytelling that’s transcendent, timeless, and deeply rooted in human emotion. I didn’t have to think for a moment before saying yes to Thug Life. A Mani Ratnam film isn’t something you get offered every day, and certainly not alongside someone as iconic as Kamal Haasan. The...

In The Wake Of Explosive Allegations Made By The Actress’s Former Nanny, A Los Angeles Dog Shelter Is Standing Up For Olivia Wilde

-
The dog rescue group based in Los Angeles that Olivia Wilde used to get her Golden Retriever named Gordon from wants to clear up some misconceptions about his past and explain what indeed occurred to him. On Friday, Maeday Rescue took to Instagram to explain the choice made by the director of Don't Worry Darling to find a new home for Gordy in the wake of explosive allegations made by the actress's former nanny. They described Wilde, who is 38 years old, as a prominent advocate for animal rescue and a conscientious pet owner who behaved out of compassion and affection for him. According to Maeday, Gordon and four of his littermates were rescued by the charity in 2018 from a shelter that shall remain nameless. The rescue's founder, Natalie, took them in and fostered them while feeding them formula until the group could find suitable homes for the rest of their lives. Wilde took one of the four puppies under his wing when he was just two months old, provided him with lots of affection, and took him on many exciting outings. However, according to the rescue organization, the actress concluded that Gordy did not enjoy the life of constant travel and was not comfortable among young children. Wilde and her ex-fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, have two children together: a son named Otis, who is eight years old, and a daughter named Daisy, who is six years old. According to Maeday, Gordon had developed a profound connection with the person who walked his dog in Brooklyn, and that person resided there. After calling Maeday to discuss the problem, Olivia finally decided it was in Gordy's best interest to be given to the New York dog walker. The animal shelter said that it is OK for there to be instances in which the animal would be happier in a different setting, even though they take great satisfaction in locating the ideal permanent homes for their rescued pets. Maeday also brought up that Gordy's Instagram feed is chock full of evidence that he is making the most of his life. According to the organization, which could not explain further, "We felt like we should publish this since we detest that the media is presenting a Maeday adopter in a terrible light.

‘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 Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
