Ranveer dances to ‘Liger’ number ‘Akdi Pakdi’ with Vijay, Ananya

Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh showed up at the trailer launch of Telugu superstar Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming film ‘Liger’ on Thursday in Mumbai. Showing support for the pan-India debutant, he adds that ‘masala movie’ is the flavor of the season now.

Ranveer appeared on stage in his forever high-energy avatar and danced along with Ananya Pandey and Vijay to the tune of ‘Audi Pakdi’.

The on-stage banter between Vijay and Ranveer made Karan Johar, who was also present there as the producer of the film, think of making a film casting both the actors together.

Praising the trailer, while interacting with Vijay, Ranveer said, “I think this is the time for masala films, and the audience is loving mass entertainers all over. This film is exactly that and I can’t wait to watch the film sitting as the audience in the theatre. I love mass entertainers and I think all the love I got, is because of this brand of cinema. Vijay is gonna rock it!”

Vijay, who is playing an MMA player went through a huge body transformation for the film and it was quite time-consuming according to the actor.

While chatting with Ranveer, Vijay said: “From the time I read the script, I decided to get my body right. Yes, it was tough but worth doing everything for this film. I have given my everything to Liger. Thanks to the pandemic, we have got the time for preparation.”

Asked if Karan is interested in casting Ranveer and Vijay together in a film, the filmmaker said: “If both of them are ready, I can sign them right away really! I think Ranveer is an actor who never had any problem with a two-hero film. He is not someone who wants all the focus on him in a film, he is a team player. He looks for character and not who are the other actors. In fact, we were making a film ‘Takht’ but it has got postponed now. Ranveer never had an ego on such things, he is an artist.”

Directed by Puri Jagannath, produced by Dharma Production, ‘Liger’, also starring Ananya Pandey, releases on August 25.

‘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.
