Entertainment

With 'Kaabil' earning plaudits at box office, actor Hrithik Roshan today said more than 90 per cent of the dubbing for the visually challenged character Rohan Bhatnagar had been done by him after a lot of research.

In 'Kaabil' 90 per cent of my character's voice is my voice," he added. The 43-year-old actor said after doing the film he wants to do something for the visually challenged people.

Entertainment

Having established himself as an action hero with his first Hindi film, actor Vidyut Jammwal feels outsiders have to make the most of the opportunities that come their way. Though he first appeared in the Telugu film 'Shakti' in 2011, it was the John Abraham starrer 'Force' that brought Vidyut to limelight in the role of an antagonist. He followed it up with a lead role in 'Commando' in 2013 and says it's the love of the audience that keeps him going. "I love the adrenaline high that I get. I love the fact that people appreciate somebody like me who is not from the industry. So, the moment the focus is on us, who are not from the industry, we need to do something that leaves a mark," Vidyut told in an interview.

Om Puri – A legend whose versatility knew no borders!

Entertainment

The year 2017 seems to have started off on a note which has not just shook the Hindi film industry but also created a huge void as veteran actor Om Puri left this world suffering a cardiac arrest on Friday morning (January 6). The legend of an actor that Puri was, puts him on a pedestal like none. He was an example of how an actor can comfortably blend into what the masses and classes call parallel and commercial cinema.
