It would be great to collaborate with him again because he made my work better.”

Actor Kartik Aaryan, who sports a long-hair look in the film, says: “Dhamaka has been a very exciting and enriching experience for me as an actor. Working with a maverick like Ram Madhvani has allowed me to explore & showcase a new facet of my personality. I am thrilled that the film will reach audiences and my fans all around the world on Netflix.”

Dhamaka will premiere exclusively on the OTT platform across 190 countries.

Thanks,” Kangana tweeted.

In a second tweet in Hindi she took a jibe at the Maharashtra government and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.

She wrote: “Kitne bhi zulm karlo, mera ghar tod do yah mujhe jail bhej do, yah jhooth failakar mujhe badnaam kar do, main nahi darne wali, mujhe sudharne ki koshish karne walon main tumhe sudharkar dam lungi, karlo jitni koshish karni hai mujhe abala bechari Banane ki, main baaghi paida hui thi, baaghi hi rahungi (No matter how much you oppress, break my house or send me to jail, or spread lies about me, I’m not scared. Those of you who are trying to correct me, I’ll relax only after correcting you. No matter how much you try to portray me as a helpless woman, I was born a rebel and will always be so).”

On Monday, Kangana visited her Bandra office for a meeting and later tweeted to express that visit left her heartbroken. The actress also shared pictures of the destroyed office.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Patrick on taking advice from superstar dad

Los Angeles: Actor Patrick Schwarzenegger said he takes acting advice from his father, Hollywood action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Talking about whether his father likes to show him how it’s done, Patrick said “No, he doesn’t. You know, if I have questions or if I had advice or want to hear what he has to say, I ask but otherwise no. I wouldn’t say so.”

“I think from some age I understood the magnitude of his celebrity, his name, and power. Then when he ran for governor and everything. So, yeah I knew. The governor today would be pretty tough. He’s very straight-forward. He is what you see. He doesn’t beat around the bush. He is who he is and he’s not afraid to speak his mind,” said Patrick.

He recently featured in the 2020 crime drama “Echo Boomers” but has not starred in a film in almost a year due to the Covid pandemic.

Speaking on ‘Smallzy’s Celebrity Small Talk’ podcast, he said: “In about one month from now, it’ll be a year since I’ve been on a film set. You guys have your s*** together. Our government doesn’t. I think movie sets are actually closed down right now. It’s not great here in LA, I wouldn’t suggest coming out here. My COVID experience has been … I always prioritize my health and my family’s health at the top.”

Nagarjuna Wild Dog movie to get Release in the theatres

Hyderabad: Actor Nagarjuna yesterday confirmed that his upcoming film Wild Dog. King Nag, as an NIA agent, hunts down terrorists in an unknown area. This is the gist of the upcoming action thriller Wild Dog, which is coming to theatres on April 2.

“The film was completed last November. And we had so many questions like when will theatres open? If the theatres open, will people step out to watch the film? During that period of uncertainty, we got a good offer from Netflix and we accepted it,” Nagarjuna explained while addressing the press in Hyderabad on Monday.

Directed by Ahishor Solomon, Wild Dog was supposedly scheduled to release on Netflix during the lockdown. However, the makers cautiously made a swift move to release it in theatres. Admittedly, producer Niranjan Reddy sensed that the content has the potential of vast viewership irrespective of region and language.

“Yes, the news that we sold Wild Dog to Netflix was correct. But at the last minute, we managed to convince the OTT platform that let it be released in theatres. And subsequently, it should anyway come to OTT. And the movies that have released so far in theatres have been doing well — Krack, and now Uppena,” producer Niranjan Reddy said and shared that the film unit had to create a set in India to compensate for the shoot scheduled overseas.

“Due to lockdown, we had to make arrangements here when the shoot was ready. On the first day, I saw daily wage workers giving me a salute. I felt how important it is for them to keep the fire burning at home. As an actor, I didn’t feel the pandemic as I am home enjoying my time with family members. So, I don’t consider the year 2020 had existed. A bad dream,” actor Nagarjuna said.
