‘Harry Potter’ actress reveals Arnie broke wind in her face on sets

Actress Miriam Margolyes, who played the role of Professor Sprout in the franchise film ‘Harry Potter’ wasn’t too pleased working with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The actress revealed this on the ‘I’ve Got News For You’ podcast, reports Variety.

Margolyes worked with Arnold on the 1999 supernatural action movie ‘End of Days’. Schwarzenegger allegedly farted on Margolyes’ face in between filming takes. According to ‘Variety’, Margolyes said Schwarzenegger “deliberately” did it and she still hasn’t forgiven him.

Quoted by ‘Variety’, Margolyes said of Schwarzenegger, “He’s a bit too full of himself and I don’t care for him at all. He’s a Republican, which I don’t like. He was actually quite rude. He farted in my face. Now, I fart, of course, I do — but I don’t fart in people’s faces. He did it deliberately, right in my face.”

“I was playing Satana’s sister and he was killing me, so he had me in a position where I couldn’t escape and was lying on the floor. And he just farted, Margolyes continued. “It wasn’t on film, it was in one of the pauses, but I haven’t forgiven him for it.”

‘End of Days’ was directed by Peter Hyams and starred Schwarzenegger as an ex-cop hunting for Satan before he can bring about the Antichrist. Margolyes appeared as one of Satan’s assistants in the movie. The cast also included Gabriel Byrne, Robin Tunney, Kevin Pollak, and Rod Steiger.

Ranbir explains his four-year hiatus at ‘Shamshera’ promo in Delhi

The Capital’s cinema buffs got to see both Sanjay Dutt and the man who played him on the big screen, Ranbir Kapoor, on Monday evening when the cast of Karan Malhotra’s ‘Shamshera’ came on a promotional tour to the city.

Explaining his absence from the big screen since the Sanjay Dutt biopic ‘Sanju’ was released in 2018, Ranbir said: “After ‘Sanju’, I was working on ‘Shamshera’ and ‘Brahmastra’. These two big-budget movies took time and then my dad was unwell and a pandemic happened.”

Ranbir and his co-star Vaani Kapoor also talked about shooting in the mud and how tough it was to get rid of it.

And Malhotra mentioned shooting the movie in Ladakh: “There were about 200 to 300 people who were shooting at the outdoor location and about 60 horses that we brought in from outside as you don’t get large horses in Ladakh. You only get mules.”

Ranbir added that he had not done a movie on this scale and in this genre, so it needed a lot of conviction.

Vaani then talked about the most challenging part and said: “Certain emotional scenes were quite tough, but I remember more of the fun part.”

Ranbir also recalled his father and late actor Rishi Kapoor’s reaction when he signed the movie.

He said: “My father worked with Karan in ‘Agneepath’ and that film brought a lot of fame to my father. He was very happy with the impact of the film. When I signed this film, he was very happy. He always used to complain that my film choices were very poor and so he was very excited when I signed ‘Shamshera’.”

Dutt added, sounding somewhat tutored: “Every project is a learning experience for me and I learned a lot while working in ‘Shamshera’.”

Ranbir said, more spontaneously, that the action part was very challenging and the climax, which the unit shot in the last 15 days, was very tough.

Vaani concluded the evening, saying that the song ‘Kaale Naina’ was just to tease the audience to watch the movie. The actors also put up a special performance for the fans at a mall in southwest Delhi.

Produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner and directed by Karan Malhotra, the film features Ranbir Kapoor in a double role with Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist alongside Vaani Kapoor, Ronit Roy, Saurabh Shukla, and Ashutosh Rana. It will be released in theatres on July 22.

Ranbir-Alia’s ‘Kesariya’ full version sparks a meme fest

The makers of the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer Brahmastra’ heard the pleas of music lovers and released the full version of the ‘Kesariya’ song from the film recently. Earlier, only a part of the song was released in April ahead of the wedding of Alia and Ranbir.

However, the song has caught the netizens’ attention for all the wrong reasons.

The listeners are perplexed at the use of the ‘love story phrase in the song, which sticks out like a sore thumb.

What compounds the audience’s odd listening experience is the fact that the lines have been penned by none other than Amitabh Bhattacharya, the man who is known for his knack for writing unusual lyrics, his songs like ‘Pardesi’, ‘Mast Magan’, ‘Babaji Ki Bootie, ‘Ullu Ka Pattha’, ‘Kalank Title Track and several others serve as testimony to his lyrical prowess and genius.

But this time the audience isn’t too pleased with what Bhattacharya has doled out. As soon as the song hit the airwaves, it sparked a meme fest on Instagram and Twitter with many members pointing out the visible difference before and after the mouthing of ‘love story.

One user wrote, “Only reason ppl (people) saying they are enjoying south versions of ‘Kesariya’ more is because they don’t understand a single word of it. What if those versions of songs have cringe lyrics too? (sic).”

One user posted the famous picture of Jason Momoa sneaking up on Henry Cavill from the ‘Suicide Squad’ premier. The user tagged Henry as himself implying that they’re enjoying listening to the song while the ‘love story part (Jason Momoa) sneaks up on them to spoil the experience.

‘Brahmastra’ directed by Ayan Mukerji, is set to drop in theatres on September 9, 2022.
