Adivi Sesh refuses to dub his movies into Hindi and instead shoots everything bilingually from the start because he thinks something gets lost when you just translate words across languages. The actor explained how certain phrases only hit right in their original language, and when you perform lines authentically in that tongue, audiences connect way harder with the emotion.
His upcoming film Dacoit follows an ex-con planning revenge against the girlfriend who screwed him over, and the whole thing was shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap are starring alongside Sesh in this revenge flick about love gone wrong.
Manoj Pahwa thought working with a four-month-old baby on Single Papa would give him breaks between takes because kids usually get fussy and need downtime. The actor remembered his earlier projects with children, where shoots got delayed constantly since the little ones would wander off to go horse riding or hit the beach, which meant actors got rest periods. This time, the baby turned out ridiculously professional and just stayed quiet wherever they needed him to look, like he learned acting from the womb or something.

Adam Sandler straight-up admitted he got into acting because he wanted the Eddie Murphy treatment, where people lose their minds seeing you walk down the street. The 59-year-old comedian said fame was his initial goal when he started doing standup at 17, but a couple of years in, he realized being actually good at the craft mattered more than just getting recognized.
The actor talked about how rough it gets balancing real-life problems with staying professional on set, saying you can't let personal darkness bleed into light-hearted scenes. His costar George Clooney backed that up by remembering a moment when Julianna Margulies got news that someone she loved had died, wiped her tears, crushed a comedy scene about an arrow stuck in...
Priyanka Chopra Jonas thinks she's barely gotten started with her English-language film career, even though she's been grinding since Quantico dropped back in 2015. The actress pointed out how she covered pretty much every genre possible during her Bollywood run, but her Hollywood work still feels incomplete compared to what she wants to accomplish internationally.
Her production company Purple Pebble Pictures keeps pushing stories that need wider audiences, and she mentioned backing projects like Born Hungry because she remembers not having guidance when she first entered the industry. Chopra said the company exists to amplify filmmakers and actors who need a global platform, which connects back to her experience of not knowing which...
Farhan Akhtar posted on Instagram honoring Major Shaitan Singh Bhati on what would have been his 101st birthday, and the actor plays this war hero in his new movie 120 Bahadur. The film covers the Battle of Rezang La back in 1962, when a group of 120 Indian soldiers from Charlie Company held their position against more than 3,000 Chinese troops and ended up causing over 1,300 enemy casualties.

Kunal Kemmu jumped on Single Papa faster than most actors commit to projects after the showrunner and producer pitched him the first episode. The guy said he connected with the Netflix series because it balances comedy with emotional gut-punches, and the writing for his character Gaurav Gehlot felt perfect for what he wanted to do next.
The show drops on Netflix mid-December under Juggernaut Productions, and Kemmu thinks it breaks away from typical streaming content by mixing lighthearted laughs with moments that might wreck viewers emotionally.
Elnaaz Norouzi called out Riteish Deshmukh and director Milap Zaveri as her favorite people from the Mastiii 4 set, saying Zaveri looks out for her like a friend, while Deshmukh is basically the nicest guy anyone has ever worked with. She mentioned how their comedy pairing clicked because they both genuinely love doing funny stuff, and when two performers are into what they're creating, the final product just hits different.
The actress got her start modeling in Germany at 14 before jumping into Bollywood through Sacred Games on Netflix. She's been in a bunch of projects since then, like Made in Heaven and Chutzpah, and even competed on The Traitors before getting eliminated after a week.

The guy said Bachchan was his invisible mentor, pushing him forward as an artist.
