Singer Lana Del Rey wrote a new song on the way home from Coachella music festival.
	In an Instagram post the singer-songwriter said she experienced "complex feelings" about enjoying the music festival as tensions with North Korea mount.
	"I find it's a tightrope between being vigilantly observant of everything going on in the world and also having enough space and time to appreciate God's good earth the way it was intended to be appreciated," she wrote.
	On the way home from the festival, Del Rey stopped to sit in a sequoia grove and "write a little song," in which she sings about trading fame and fortune for "a stairway to heaven."
	"I just wanted to share this in hopes that one individual's hope and prayer for peace might contribute to the possibility of it in the long run," she wrote.

Sonakshi Sinha-starrer "Noor" has received U/A certificate from Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) after making the changes advised by the censor board.
	The CBFC had asked the makers of "Noor" to remove words like 'dalit', Barkha Dutt and a liquor brand's name.
	"We have raised objection to use of certain words like dalit and sex toy to be replaced by 'adult site'," an official from CBFC told PTI.

	Director Sunhil Sippy told PTI that they have accepted CBFC's decision.
	"The objection raised by CBFC over certain words was not affecting the narrative of the film. So we have accepted it. We were told the use of Dalit is in reference to a community so it's asked to be removed. We have got U/A certificate," he told PTI.

Actress Parineeti Chopra has refrained from commenting on the death sentence awarded to Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by the Pakistan government, saying she is not "well informed" about the issue.
	"I feel I am the least important and least worthy (person) to comment on this genuinely.

William Shakespeare's 'Comedy of Errors', which has been adapted in innumerable films across the world, has inspired young director Kenny Deori Basumatary to make his second Assamese feature film "Local Kung Fu 2".
	The sequel, which is a martial arts comedy and has been made as a sequel of Basumatary's first film of the same name, will hit the screens tomorrow.
	"It is very difficult to make a sequel, especially when the previous film has already set a benchmark. So instead of trying to extend the previous story, we prepared a completely new story for 'Local Kung Fu 2'," said Mumbai-based Basumatary, who has produced the film with BP Deori.
     The first ever sequel of an Assamese film -- 'Local Kung Fu 2' is about two pairs of twins, who get separated at birth, the director said.

Bengali superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee, whose action thriller "One" is up against Kaushika Ganguly's National Award-winner "Bisorjon", is confident that both the movies will do well at the box office.
	While "One" has a commercial setting, Ganguly's drama is a cross-border love story. Both released on April 14.
	"Films like Kaushik's 'Bisorjon' or Goutam Ghose's 'Sankhachil' will have more successful weeks in urban screens catering to a niche audience while films like 'One' by Birsha Dasgupta will run in both urban and semi-urban and rural pockets. This trend has prevailed always," Prosenjit told PTI here.
	The actor said he did not foresee any dilution of audience share for either of the films for the same reason.
	"This has been the trend in past also and there has not been much change in audience segmentation. When Rituparno (Ghosh) made his films, the screens were shared by films of Swapan Saha, Haranath Chakraborty, Anjan Chowdhury and the audience profile of two genres of films .

Politics is no longer seen as a taboo in Hindi movies, holds director Kabir Khan, many of whose films deal with thorny, contemporary issues.
	The director of the upcoming film "Tubelight" stresses that it is important for him to give a societal context to the stories that he deals with.
	"When I used to watch Bollywood films, I would struggle with the fact that our cinema was set in La La Land, with no social or political context. So I decided that whenever I make a film, I'll try to put some context about what's happening," Khan - the maker of such films as "Kabul Express" and the blockbuster "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" -- told PTI in an interview.
	The success of his projects indicates that audiences welcome such films, he points out.
 	"Fortunately for me, all of the films have done well so that means the audience is also enjoying them. Earlier, there used to be a taboo and people would say, 'Oh, don't put politics in your films; the audience don't watch it.' But if you engage them through

	"I'm not taking jobs anymore where I'm getting paid a quarter of what the male co-star is being paid. I'm not allowing that in my life. What I do now, when I'm taking on a film, I always ask about the fairness of the pay.
	"I ask what they're offering me in comparison to the guy. I don't care about how much I get paid; I'm in an industry where we're overcompensated for the work we do. But I don't want to be on a set where I'm doing the same work as someone else and they're getting five times what I'm getting," Chastain said.
