Veteran comic actor Johnny Lever says comedy, which is more of a performance based art, is missing from films now.
	The 57-year-old actor, who was last seen in comic caper 'Entertainment', says genuine comedy has been replaced by dialogues and punches in films these days.
	"Performance in comedy these days is missing. It is all punches and dialogues that is being served as comedy in films nowadays," Johnny told PTI.
	"Comedy is more an art of body language and gestures -- it is more a performance of an artist than the lines given to him/her," he added.
	During his recent visit to the Capital, Johnny, who has appeared in over 250 Hindi films, reasoned that the "lack of performance" leads actors and writers to construe double-meaning dialogues as comedy.
	"This lack of performance could be seen as the reason why actors and writers get 'misguided' and are deviated to serve double meaning dialogues and other antics in the name of comedy. The level of comic performance has certainly gone ..

The sexuality of disabled people is often ignored and that's what inspired director Shonali Bose to come up with 'Margarita, With A Straw', a gentle coming-of-age story about a woman afflicted with cerebral palsy.
	Bose says her second directorial venture, starring Kalki Koechlin in the lead, is a culmination of her own experiences and that of her cousin Malini, who has cerebral palsy.
	"The sexuality of people with disability is ignored by us. Somehow we don't believe that they would have the same emotional and physical needs that normal people have. My film is a coming-of-age story about one such woman's journey of finding love," Bose told PTI in an interview.
	The 'Amu' helmer, who won the global filmmaking award at Sundance for her script, says the story went through many changes after that.
	"I realised that I was looking at my protagonist through my sister's eyes and that changed later. I started looking at the character through my own eyes. Many of her experiences are actually .

Ben Affleck said the only time when David Fincher and he did not see eye to eye was when the 'Gone Girl' director asked him to wear a Yankees hat in one of the scenes.
	Affleck, a die-hard Red Sox fan, told Fincher he would simply not wear the hat, something that led to a small argument, reported the New York Times.
	"I said, 'David, I love you, I would do anything for you,'" Affleck, 42, said.
	"'But I will not wear a Yankees hat. I just can't. I can't wear it because it's going to become a thing, David. I will never hear the end of it. I can't do it.' And I couldn't put it on my head."
	Affleck and Fincher argued about the hat while filming a scene in which Affleck's character attempts to avoid recognition inside a New York airport.
