The one thing Mani sir told me to give me confidence was, ‘Don’t worry, you can pull it off. And this character is sexy,’” she recalls.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 director James Gunn wants to work with Jr NTR, the filmmaker exclusively told News18.com.

Diljit Dosanjh hit back at trolls for spreading “fake news” and “negativity” against him after his Coachella performance.

Diljit lashed back at false news, asking trolls to use Google Translations if they don’t understand his Punjabi statements.
Aishwarya Rai opened up about playing Nandini in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam opposite Salman Khan and Ponniyin Selvan 2. Speaking at the press conference of PS2, Aishwarya said, “What a coincidence. It’s amazing na? Even Nandini in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was very very memorable. She has lived on people’s heart and I’m so so thankful that I got to play Nandini then too. She had remained special to the audience and, of course, to me. That was Sanjay Bhansali ji and today for my Mani Garu, I got to play Nandini in Ponniyin Selvan. That’s just tremendously a blessing, to have gotten to play such strong women, such layered women and women with character that touch the lives of so many women out there. There’s a relatability and I am very, very grateful.”
