Netflix announces Bollywood version of French dramedy 'Call My Agent!'

<p>Bollywood actor Aparshakti Khurana is of the opinion that movies can bring about change, especially of the social kind.</p>

<p>"My take on films like 'Helmet' is that primarily these films are made for entertainment purpose. A certain kind of social message woven into the script makes the content a little more relevant, but it's up to you if you take it home or not or if you are able to inculcate these values in you or not.," he was quoted as saying.</p>

<p>"It's a plus to have a social message in a film as the script becomes more logical. There are films which leave an impact and make people ponder. For example: Dangal did change a lot of people, encouraging kids, especially daughters to play a sport. So yes, a film with a social message does change the mindset," added Aparshakti.</p>

<p>For those of you who are not in the know, the actor will soon be seen in Zee5 Original film 'Helmet' opposite Pranutan Bahl.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
A month after reintroducing herself to the world as a transgender woman in Time magazine, Tommy posed for another cover shoot and talked about life since the revelation.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/everything-thats-released-at-cinemacon-2021-from-batman-to-matrix-4-408496">Also read: 'Everything that's released at CinemaCon 2021, from 'Batman' to 'Matrix 4''</a></p>

"My spirit was so attuned to whatever it means to be a woman. I've walked in the privilege of a male body, but (being a woman)&nbsp;is all I've known on the inside. It's a thing you recognize in other women in a weird way, and I've done it to other people, as well. It's kind of unexplainable — trans people are magic at the end of the day," Tommy reported said.</p>

<p><br />
In terms of change, Tommy talks about how the 'switching of hormones' has helped her get on with her life. "I just switched my hormones, and I've never felt better in my life. I spent 28 years of my life suicidal and depressed and recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction. I don't think I've ever been genuinely happy until this past year. I look at the Internet chronicle of photos of me since I started working, and I can see how fucking unhappy I was in every photo. It's wild," she revealed.</p>

<p><br />
Tommy felt 'really uncomfortable' and 'unhappy' in her skin before taking hormones. But, things started to change for her quickly. "It felt like I sank into the earth and was grounded. I can sleep now. I wake up moderately happy. I felt it hit, and I was like, 'Let's ride.' And as the testosterone leaves my body, I feel so much better. I'm more energized. I feel how I think I was always supposed to feel," she added.</p>

<p><br />
Tommy had a parting piece of wisdom to share, especially for all those who he has inspired with his coming out journey. "You are divinely held. I have that tattooed on me — and for anyone who's struggling, it's a nice reminder," signed off Tommy Dorfman.</p>

<p><br />
"I have been put in this ‘cute girl’ slot. I thought this role would flop really badly or work really well. It completely hinged on the performance. It was very scary and risky for me... I never expected so many people to call and message me (to appreciate my performance). I got calls from people who never called me before," she reportedly told a news outlet.<br />

“I don’t think I would sign anything thinking it will get me awards. I sign roles that I really believe in. The roles that I believe will make me a better person. But, the awards are always welcome as they have always inspired me to do better. In that way, I’m thankful for awards,” said Samantha about her recent win.</p>

<p><br />
While Raji is being appreciated by one and all, prep for the role had come with its fair share of challenges. “I was given the role of a trained fighter with not much dialogue. So I had to make sure that I physically looked the part even though I am small. The body language and the physicality of the character was something I really worked on. It needed to look like not much thought was put into Raji’s mannerisms but actually, I put a lot of thought into it,” she added.</p>

“I watched a lot of real-life footage and documentaries. That really helped me. Also, I worked with a bunch of great teams, including directors and stunt persons. Stunt master Yannick Ben has an amazing style of fighting. It was very, very unique. And I wanted to imitate his style. I don’t think he thought he had a particular style in the way he moved and fought,” she further added.</p>

<p><br />
As for OTT platforms--her 'The Family Man 2' released in Amazon Prime Video--the actor feels it has opened new doors for artists. “OTT has been a really welcome change not just for actors but also for technicians. It is blurring the line between all the industries. It has become an amalgamation of all good talents. Audiences are also lapping up all kinds of content. One doesn’t need to worry about whether an OTT movie/series is commercial enough or romantic enough. You have so much opportunity to put out what you believe in and have an audience that will appreciate it,” she was quoted as saying.</p>

<strong>Strong sense of attachment</strong></p>

<p><br />
A study conducted on more than 500 young adults (aged between 18 to 26) found that people who have strong attachment to pets feel more connected to their communities and that attachment also extends to their human relationships. Additionally, the study said that such people were found to be more empathetic and were likely to serve in leadership roles.</p>

Psychologists at Miami University and Saint Louis University conducted three experiments to examine the potential benefits of pet ownership among people and some historical markers indicating humans’ long-standing therapeutic relationship with animals. In 1973 a visiting therapy dog, Skeezer, became a permanent resident at Children’s Psychiatric Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Although more research is needed before scientists know exactly why it works. However, existing works in the field propose two hypotheses - state of relaxation and stress-reduction.</p>

On the occasion of International Dog Day, here's us taking a look at the science behind why dogs such as German Shepherd, Beagle, Pug, Golden Retriever, Naatu Naai among other breeds, make you happier and lift your spirits up.

Dog owners walk an average of 300 minutes per week, says a report. Strong sense of attachment A study conducted on more than 500 young adults (aged between 18 to 26) found that people who have strong attachment to pets feel more connected to their communities and that attachment also extends to their human relationships. Additionally, the study said that such people were found to be more empathetic and were likely to serve in leadership roles.

In 1973 a visiting therapy dog, Skeezer, became a permanent resident at Children’s Psychiatric Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Although more research is needed before scientists know exactly why it works. However, existing works in the field propose two hypotheses - state of relaxation and stress-reduction. Dogs help combat stress, anxiety A 2010 study published in the journal Anxiety, Stress, and Coping highlighted the postive effects of petting an animal on anxiety. A variety of animals have been used for beneficial health effects. So, now whether you choose to domesticate an international dog, an indie dog or opt for adoption from Humane Animal Society in Coimbatore, among other facilities, just know that dogs will bring joy to your life.

Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) is a whore-house-frequenting, liquor-chugging 'young' protagonist who's navigating life one reckless day at a time. “I am not ready yet!” he exclaims when asked to shoulder the responsibity of becoming a knight by King Arthur (Sean Harris).</p>

<p><br />
In the opening shot a young Gawain is locked in embrace with a free-spirited Essel (Alicia Vikander), shattering the idea that the viewers are in for a long-drawn period drama. David Lowery is in it for the unseen, unheard version of how Sir Gawain has been perceived thus far. And yes, he succeeds.</p>

On Christmas Eve--they are calling this chapter 'The Christmas Game'--an imposing rider (Ralph Ineson) with a protruding face and echoing voice, shows up at the entrance to the hall where the merrymaking happens, wanting to play a bloody game of his own making wherein Gawain must slit his throat and come back for another brawl a year later.

'The Green Knight' is a fantasy within a fantasy world, weaved by the fantastical David Lowery. The namelessness of the crucial players in the movie, including the poet who had originally written this riddle of a poem, as folklores often go, renders a sense of intrigue to the drama and we are hooked! Instead of plucking a leaf out of a particular reading out of Gawain’s journey, this piece of work serves as a meditation on the quest for meaning, direction and the lessons life has to impart. All the while leaving the audience scratching their heads over reality and illusion--both captivating, both hypnotizing.</p>

The highlight of 'The Green Knight' is a sequence in which decades have gone by and an aging Gawain has now reduced himself into an unkind leader; oblivious to the charm of women.

Patel is a chameleon in this movie--swiftly juggling between youthful exuberance and stone-heartedness only a life lived far too long can teach a man. The butterfly in this cinematic beauty is, however, Oscar-winning British actor Alicia Vikander. "You will be my lady, and I will be your man," she declares, nonchalantly. Emancipation of women in medieval history? That's what the world needs more of! Sarita Choudhury, as the legend goes, is Gawain's 'witch' of a mother, Morgan le Fay. Her deep-set eyes, angular face and that deathly stare makes her the enchantress she sets out to be.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
In 'The Green Knight', Dev Patel's Sir Gawain has a peculiar quality about him--that he wants to know how to live before living. Yes, it is but human to seek the un-seekable, desire the unachievable. Along the way, what do&nbsp;men gain&nbsp;and what have they&nbsp;lost? This film is an ode to that unquenchable thirst for internal fulfilment through external validation.

The Green Knight review: Dev Patel stirs up the hornet's nest, emerges victorious

<p>Multiple National Awards. Part of a steady, sought-after trio in Bollywood. A musical career spanning decades. He has seen the kind of success some only dream of. But, ask Cannes World Film Festival winner Shankar Mahadevan--his biographical documentary<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-indian-musician-shankar-mahadevans-biopic-wins-big-at-cannes-world-film-festival-407972"> 'Decoding Shankar' has won 'best Indian Film' and 'Best Biographical Film' </a>at the recently concluded cinema extravagenza--if he wants to take it slow, and he says, matter-of-factly, "I really, really honestly sincerely feel that I have not even scratched the surface of music." Such is his dedication towards work.</p>

<p><br />
In an exclusive interview with WION, the veteran music composer-singer reminisces the time his wife had nudged him to take up music (and thank goodness for that!), his 'marriage' to band members Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa and why he never ever thinks of quitting music.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Excerpts from the conversation:</p>

<p><br />
<strong>WION: To win 'Best Indian Film' and 'Best Biographical Film' all at once and on a platform like the Cannes World Film Festival happens very rarely, and is a marvelous achievement in itself. How did you react to the news? Has it sunk in yet?</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>SHANKAR MAHADEVAN:</strong> Yeah, I mean, how can I describe what I'm feeling it is a feeling absolute. I'm feeling absolutely ecstatic and overwhelmed. overjoyed You know, when we made this film, you know, it was it was just, it was just deep TC one's passion and his her dedication to the subject, you know, and I had faith in it and, you know, we just made it but never in our dreams, we thought that, you know, it's gonna win so many awards and get represented in so many festivals. And I don't think that those things were in our mind, especially and, you know, and whatever this film, The success of this film, the kind of recognition that it's got all the awards, all the accolades that this film has got, I owe it to this person, Deepti Sivan, who is who has really, really, really worked hard and, you know, done a lot of research on this. So everything I dedicate to her because I'm just playing. It's about me, I know that but, you know, but all the awards, all the accolades and all the recognition is for DPC one and her team.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>WION: If you were to ‘decode’ Shankar—the person—how would you describe him?</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>SHANKAR MAHADEVAN: </strong>Yeah, if I have to decode me, I think I'm a person who doesn't take things very seriously. I believe in peace. Peace is my number one agenda in life. And love is peace and love are two very, very important things. And if you decode me, I would say that anger and ego are two things that I don't believe in. And I think I'm a person who likes to derive big pleasures out of very, very simple things.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>WION: Since we are talking about your life and legacy, what has been the most profound experience that has shaped you as a musician and altered your approach towards life—for better or worse?</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>SHANKAR MAHADEVAN:</strong> Well, being a musician many times, we realize that we are blessed; not all the people around you have the power of music, the magic of music. And when you realize that you really feel so blessed and so happy and you're in gratitude. And I think the people around me have always been so supportive. My wife (Sangeeta Mahadevan), when I was just going around with her, and you know, and I was an engineer, I was a successful engineer. But she's the one who told me that, you know, there may be a million engineers, but I think that there's going to be only one Shankar Mahadevan, and I think moments like these, they have really defined my musical career and they have helped me progress. Man also meeting the correct kind of people in the correct place doing the correct kind of music, and re and that, that music reaching out to the people of the country and all over the world. You know, you got to be really the timing and everything should be so perfect, and I was one of those lucky people to get all those aspects in my life.</p>

<strong>WION: How has Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, or the ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ of Bollywood, contributed to the moment leading up to your Cannes win?</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>SHANKAR MAHADEVAN: </strong>Shankar Ehsaan Loy, the trio, it's been a part of my life. And I think it is, it's like a marriage, you know, the way we worked our partnership, our music, how we function, it is like, it's like how marriage functions, you know, we have to work on it on a daily basis. Of course, there are ups and downs and you know, there are emotional disagreements, creative discrepancies, but, but we know, for a fact that all three of us we are looking at the bigger picture, we are looking at the success of the song, the beauty of the song, the the final product that comes out, so, even never in our mind has it ever crossed. That, you know, we have to split up and we have to just, you know, become individual, you know, we can't function as a team anymore, we have never ever thought of that, because we ourselves are very different individuals and have individual, you know, our own lives to handle. But when we come together, it's automatically a team. And, and there's a lot of respect, between the three of us respect as people, and also for creative ideas. And unless you respect the other person's creative idea, I don't think you can, you know, you can go forward in life, and they have been instrumental in a lot of, you know, musical moments in my life, which are so, so, so important. And we have created music that that's going to stay on this planet for a very, very long time. I mean, there are many many songs that these pieces of music are going to stay for a very, very long time and my band have been instrumental in that, so I thank them for that.</p>

<strong>WION: Having worked for so long in the industry and accomplishing almost everything there is to accomplish, where do you stand ambition-wise? Do you still have the hunger to explore new ground or are you content to slow down a bit?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>SHANKAR MAHADEVAN: </strong>Oh, I've been in the industry for many many years but not for a minute I feel that I have been there and I've done that and I've accomplished so much. And I don't need to do anything more I never ever feel because always that feeling of thirst or hunger of exploring so many things, I really, really honestly sincerely feel that I have not even scratched the surface of music. There is so much more to do and there is so many there are so many possibilities, you know, had I been a little more less lazy, I would have done even more than what I'm doing but I know that you know there are I derive pleasure from other things other than music also like you know, being with family and spending small moments, you know, enjoying the you know, pleasures of just being at home with my children. You know, spending time with my wife and doing in a traveling-around holiday. These are also very, very important (things). Like cooking, these things are very important for me. So, you know, some music I have done music but I I always feel that there is so much more to do and so little time. So you know that hunger is I mean, tremendous amount of hunger is always there.</p>

Nirvana sued for child pornography by man who appeared in their famous 'Nevermind' cover

While the footage has not been released to the public yet, reports from various global news websites include new interviews from star Robert Pattinson and director Matt Reeves.</p>

"For some reason, Batman has always stood out as one of the major characters of the 20th century, and so many people connect with it on such a deep level for so many different reasons," he explained in the clip. "From the first conversation I had with Matt about it, I just knew that there was something radically different (here)," said actor Robert Pattinson.</p>

The Batman will see Pattinson approaching the caped-crusador's character in an entirely different way, and the actor will be backed by a supporting cast that includes Colin Farrell as The Penguin, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson, Jayme Lawson as Bella Real, Barry Keoghan as Officer Stanley Merkel, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.</p>

<p>This video is being hailed as first documented instance of a Tortoise deliberately approaching, killing and consuming another organism.</p>

<p>The seven-minute video was shot on Frigate Island in Seychelles. It reportedly is a gruesome but fascinating watch.</p>

<p>The video and the study has settled the question that Tortoises are not strictly herbivores. The study has been published in the journal Current Biology.</p>

Grierer will be seen as Nick Brewer, a man who &nbsp;goes missing and then a video surfaces on the internet showing him beaten and held hostage, holding up a sign, reading, "I abuse women. At 5 million views, I die."&nbsp;</p>

"It's a very curious series. At first blush, just on the surface, it's a thriller; it's a whodunnit. But really, the depth of it is exploring issues of identity, especially in the technology world.

After a script-reading session, Genier was hooked. "I took a look at it and I said, 'Yes, please'. And this was even before I knew how it was going to end. And so during the filming, I didn't even know who had done it. I was like, did I do it? Am I the guy? I feel like I'm the guy. But just keep in mind that in thrillers, the twists and turns aren't always what you expect. Wink, wink!" he concluded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>American singer Olivia Rodrigo has dropped her latest single 'Brutal' and fans are psyched about it!</p>

<p><br />
On Monday, she had the help of a few famous pals to pull off her 'Brutal' music video. The singer dropped the Petra Collins-directed visual featuring models, actors, and dancers.</p>

<p><br />
The energy of this video is elevated by some of the coolest celebrity cameos like that of Lukas Gage, Nico Hiraga, and fashion model Salem Mitchell.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The video follows the narrative set out in Rodrigo's previous collaboration with Collins, when they had collaborated on 'Good For You' earlier this year.&nbsp;</p>

Frankly, the video exudes a 'messy' kind of teen charm and doesn't sit right with the vibe of 2021, we have, thankfully, Rodrigo's making a statement with a plethora of Gen Z celebrities to keep her company.&nbsp;</p>
