If Day One of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (Nmacc) opening in Mumbai on Friday night was all about the entertainment world – from Rajinikanth to Shah Rukh Khan – with a sprinkling of politicians added to the mix, Day Two on Saturday night was dedicated to the power of haute couture.
From archival pieces carrying the creative stamp of John Galliano and the House of Dior to the Big Three of Indian couturiers – Anamika Khanna, Tarun Tahiliani and Sabyasachi Mukherjee – the Nmacc cast a swish spell.
Topping the list of A-list attendees were ‘Euphoria’ star Zendaya in a flowing sultry deep blue sari with a playful floral border and gold-embellished blouse and supermodel Gigi Hadid, who exuded in the words of ‘Vogue’, “a modern Devdas look with an ivory and gold sari”, with a gold bangle stack and jewelled blouse to complete the look.

And when art meets technology, it creates wonders: a case in point is the music of A. R. Rahman which revolutionised how music is made in India.
To keep up with the rapidly changing times in the world of the Internet and to tie the ends of art and technology, actress Lisa Ray, who is known for films such as ‘Kasoor’, ‘Veerappan’ and ‘Water’, has come up with a new platform, ‘TheUpsideSpace’ that aims at empowering the artiste community through NFTs.
The initiative will put the spotlight on the artistes from Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East.

Just like her character Damini Roy from ‘Four More Shots Please!’, actress Sayani Gupta always speaks her mind. She agrees, though, that it can backfire sometimes. Sayani in a conversation said: “It always backfires but that’s not the point. You say something because it bothers you and you feel like you need to lend your voice to it.”
“You pick and choose your battles but you don’t shy away from speaking your mind for injustice so that is something I have lived by all my life,” she added.
Sayani agrees that she is under more scrutiny as she is an actor.
“The fact that I am an actor makes want to get better but it doesn’t stop me from saying what I believe in. But having said that, we are getting older… figuring lesser battles to fight because you feel sometimes what is the point.”

Actress Kirti Kulhari, who is currently enjoying the response to the recently released third season of her International Emmy-nominated streaming show, ‘Four More Shots Please’, shared some interesting anecdotes about her character Anjana from the series.
Talking about the relatable factors of her character, she said: “In terms of story, of course, everything that’s a part of Anajna’s life is something that I have to play with full conviction. What part of my role people most relate to is playing a single mom. When you don’t have a male partner, yet single-handedly manage to bring up your child, those challenges have been very relatable to people.”
The series tells stories of four women, Siddhi (Maanvi Gagroo), Anjana (Kirti Kulhari), Damini (Sayani Gupta), and Umang (Bani J) as they make their way around with their perfectly imperfect lives.

Starring Ehan Bhat as Jay, Edilsy Vargas as Sophie
Written & Directed by Vishwesh Krishnamurthy
Make no mistake. This is a highly ambitious film where the musical phenomenon A R Rahman wants to prove to the world that music can conquer hearts, change the world, and reform corrupt politicians. Just how this Rahman-helmed love story gets there, is a mystery. The plot is a befuddling brew of Mills & Boon , mysticism, and of course music.
I don’t know if the film has 99 songs. But there is one after every 5-10 minutes. And the film is 2 hours and 12 minutes long. So do your math while the film’s hero Jai(a striking debut by Ehan Bhat) journeys from innocent romance in the city to a jazz-swathed club called Red Mascara in Shillong where Lisa Ray slithering and seducing poor Jai away from the love of his life Sophie(Edilsy Vargas).

"I kept questioning whether I should take the plunge and play a role, which could probably change my image and affect the type of work or opportunity that could come my way.

Actress Lisa Ray, a cancer survivor, says she feels much more comfortable in her own skin than ever before as she talks about the true definition of beauty after experiencing life from a much wider spectrum.
Talking to reporters during the launch of her book titled "Close To The Bone" on Monday, the 47-year-old actress said, "...I am most comfortable in my skin now than ever before. Ironically, I think I am most attractive at 47 rather than when I was 16 years old. Of course, I had a great body but I had so distorted view of my body that I felt so ugly and insecure all the time."
Lisa, born to a Bengali father and Polish mother, became an overnight sensation as a model when she appeared on the Bombay Dyeing advertisement in the 1990s. Later in 2001, she made her debut in Bollywood as an actress with the film "Kasoor".

Canadian-Indian actress Lisa Ray is lending her voice to "Phoolan", an upcoming live-action and animated documentary about Phoolan Devi.
The feature documentary, to be directed by Iranian-Canadian filmmaker Hossein Martin Fazeli, follows Devi from being born into a poor village family, sold off as a child bride and enduring multiple gang rapes, before responding by leading a bloody gang of male bandits as a female Robin Hood, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
Upon being captured, she was charged with many crimes and was imprisoned for 11 years. But the government ultimately dropped all charges and she was released.
Devi then ran for and won an election to the Parliament of India to champion the rights of lower-caste women, only to be assassinated in 2001 by an upper-caste man.
Lisa, as the main voice-over artist, will also executive produce the project, which depicts Devi as a sexual abuse victim.

Lisa Ray is one celebrity actor who needs to be quoted when it comes to the terms like ageless beauty, a fighter, an inspiration and the hottest diva ever. The Indo-Canadian actor made her Bollywood debut in 2001, with ‘Kasoor’ opposite Aftab Shivdasani. Although her acting career didn’t do much wonders for her but her ‘Style Diva’ image surely turns tables.

His new Hindi film, his first in three years, is a frenetic frenzied near-hysterical take on the brutal life of the jungle outlaw Veerappan who, apparently, could kill with an impunity that made mass murder a political issue.
To his credit Rgv has done his homework well. There is enough evidence here to convince us that Veerappan was a dangerous psychotic socio-political outcast who deserved to get the death that he finally did. The dark brooding earthy atmosphere created in the film adds to the feeling of dread.

We all know that the maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is now all set to release Veerappan, which happens to be is the Hindi version of his Kannada film Killing Veerappan. While making the film, Ram Gopal Varma did extensive research on the dreaded Veerappan, who operated from Bandipur forest.
The cops who were instrumental in Veerappan's encounter, apparently helped Ram Gopal Varma with some of the information. That's why Ram Gopal Varma has now decided to show them the movie first, prior to its release in theatres.
Veerappan stars Sandeep Bhardwaj in the title role, along with Usha Jadhav, Lisa Ray and Sachiin Joshi (who also happens to be the film's producer). The film is slated to release on May 27.

Lisa Ray who will be seen in a never-before avatar in Ram Gopal Varma's Veerappan suffered a leg injury during the shooting of the film. Not that it dampened her adventurous spirit. This is the first time she is working with the prolific director and is understandably excited. Says Lisa, "I've been a fan of Rgv's work for a long time. When he narrated the story of Veerappan and explained my role, there was no doubt at all about doing the film. And working with Rgv was a dream-come-true, and unique. He was so clear about each and every scene and shot that I could relax into the role." I trusted him completely and that's very important for an actor. I also loved working with Usha Jadhav- her talent and story is so inspiring- and Sachiin who was a big support on the set- especially when I broke my toe.

Fourteen years after Eesha Koppikar sizzled in 'Khallaas' in Ram Gopal Varma's gangster thriller Company, the filmmaker is gearing up to recreate the special number for his Veerappan biopic. The plot of Ram Gopal Varma's Veerappan covers Asia's biggest manhunt in history, the hunt for Koose Muniswamy Veerappan, also known as bandit Veerappan. While the 2002 film featured Ajay Devgn, Vivek Oberoi and Manisha Koirala, the biopic has Sandeep Bharadwaj in the titular character, and Lisa Ray. Zareen Khan, who made waves with her bold turn in Hate Story 3, steps into Eesha's shoes for the song. "The lyrics, 'Bachke tu rehna re... Nahin duja mauka milega sambhalna,' literally hint at Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' theory. Now the lyrics have been reworked to 'Khallas Veerappan', but its spirit remains the same, with a sexy Zareen dancing in the forest", states Rgv while talking about the recreated track.

If you thought that ‘Ishq Forever’, which released today, is a love story about a couple, let us inform you that the film actually deals with the love story of two different pairs.
On one hand, the film revolves around the romance between Aryan Shekawat (Krishna Chaturvedi) and Rhea (Ruhi Singh), while on the other hand, the film also deals with the dynamics between Amitabh (Jaaved Jaaferi) and Naina Saxena (Lisa Ray).
Talking about his pairing with Lisa Ray, Jaaved said, “The comic element comes from the fact that a Raw agent has to work with his ex-wife and their cynicism about their failed relationship comes across as a foil to the mushy romance between Krishna and Ruhi.”
Directed by Sameer Sippy and produced by Ajay Shah, Himanshu Gandhi and Shabeer Boxwala under their banner Friday Cine Entertainment, ‘Ishq Forever’ is slated to release on February 19.

Directed by Sameer Sippy and produced by Ajay Shah, Himanshu Gandhi and Shabeer Boxwala under their banner Friday Cine Entertainment, ‘Ishq Forever’ is slated to release on February 19.
