Doree Season 2: Amar Upadhyay may quit the shoot, reveal reports

-

Set against the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh, Doree recently returned to Colors television with its second season as a grown up Doree continues her fight against female infanticide and women empowerment. She is accompanied by her father Ganga essayed by Amar Updhayay. However, in the recent development, the latter is locked in jail in a false case against him. Owing to the same, the actor has been missing from the screen. However, recent reports have a different theory as they claim that the actor is planning on quitting the show.

Recent reports have stated that Amar Upadhyay is not happy with the track of his story and hence, decided to bid adieu to Doree 2. According to a report on ETimes, considering the current plotline, where Doree is married to the lawyer Mann Thakur where the storyline focuses on their track and the challenges she faces in the Thakur household, Amar Upadhyay doesn’t have much screen time. Hence the actor hasn’t been shooting much for the second season. The reports claimed that the actor feels that his storyline has been underutilised. It is being said that the actor only shot for a day in February and that due to his commitments with the show, he also missed out on another interesting project. Reports have asserted that after a closed-door meeting with the makers, the actor has decided to quit the show.

However, the actor has refrained to make any statements regarding the same. In an interaction with Telly Chakkar, Amar Upadhyay maintained, "No comments, wouldn’t like to speak about it right now”.

Meanwhile, after the second season’s premiere last month, Amar Upadhyay had expressed his happiness and shared his journey with the show, wherein he had said, “The most exciting part of this journey for me is watching Doree’s character unfold and knowing that Ganga Prasad’s guidance has played a role in that. As an actor, it is a beautiful and emotional experience to see the character you have been portraying grow and evolve in such a meaningful way. Ganga is a proud father who has shaped Doree into the woman she is today. It is truly special to be continuing this journey in the second season”.

Doree Season 2 features Priyanshi Yadav as the grown-up Doree along with Sreejita De as the antagonist as it airs from Monday to Friday at 10:30 pm.

‘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...
