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. Jackky Bhagnani on focusing on film production Bhagnani said his experience as a producer made him rethink the way he wanted to approach his acting career. He ...

Matthew Perry Claims That The Crew Of Friends Gathered Around Him During The Worst Of His Addiction

According to what Matthew Perry reveals in the feature article of this week's issue of PEOPLE, he was just 24 years old, and a guy is seeking recognition when he was initially cast as Chandler Bing on Friends. He believed that stardom would solve all of his problems at the time. To clarify, I was online nonstop. But today, in an appearance in which he discusses his new biography Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry, 53, focuses on his path and the problematic habit he attempted to keep hidden. The conversation was conducted to talk about the book. He said, "I assumed that being humorous at all times was how I would overcome it." I believed that [Friends] would solve all of our problems. The answer is no. Perry admits that he had a crush on Jennifer Aniston that began when they first met two years before the program started, and he says that this revelation comes as part of his opening up about his cast mates and the friends who were essential in his path. He jokes that she displayed such a high level of apathy that it led him to end the relationship. Everyone has most likely worked it out. I have never made any statements. I, however, hid it. But then she got married to Brad Pitt, and at that point, I said to myself, I don't have much of a chance here. Around the same time, Perry's dependence on alcohol was also becoming more entrenched. According to him, he initially believed that he would be able to cope with it. When I was 34 years old, though, I had already gotten into significant trouble. That was very alarming at one point; the actor had gained 128 pounds and was taking 55 Vicodin daily. He says that he had no idea how to end it, mainly because both the sickness and the addiction were progressing. So it becomes progressively worse as you get older.

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...
