Bengali movie based on euthanasia theme to hit screen in May
A Bengali film based on the theme of euthanasia is all set to hit the screen in May this year after getting approval from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The movie "Pupa" would be probably first on the subject of euthanasia after the Supreme Court had recently recognised a 'living will' made by terminally-ill patients for passive euthanasia. A five-judge constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Mishra had on March 9 last said passive euthanasia and advance living will are 'permissible.' CBFC has given certificate to the Bangla film "Pupa", a movie which debates the issue of euthanasia after the regional office here had initially asked the director to cut all scenes showing syringe and vials. Director Indrashis Acharya told PTI here, the CBFC Mumbai agreed to give U/A certification to the film and only recommended putting a disclaimer that the film did not promote mercy killing and blur the label of the syringe and vial.

Proud to say no to shows I don't want to do: Mona Singh
Actor Mona Singh says there is nothing worth doing on television nowadays and hence, it does not hurt her to reject the shows that come her way. Singh, who is still remembered for her work in the sitcom "Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi" (2003), has reduced her small screen outing over the last few years, and she blames it on the regressive content on TV. "It is not progressive anymore for sure. There are the kind of shows I don't want to be a part of, and I hope TV sees the same days that it saw when we started. I really don't know what went wrong with TV. The good shows are not being made or they just shut too early," the actor told PTI. Singh says she ca not pinpoint the exact reason why the quality of shows started dwindling over the years. "I don't know what people really want to see. There are just mythological shows, which I don't want to see. I saw them when I was growing up. I saw 'Ramayan' and 'Mahabharat', but that is not what I want to see now. I don't know what's wrong with TV. ...
Film industry can pull you down, make you doubt yourself: Ileana
In her six-year-long Bollywood career, Ileana D'Cruz has been a part of a fair amount of successful films but the actor says that has not lessened her insecurity as an actor, owing to the highly competitive and unsparing ways of the film industry. Ileana, who has been a part of films like "Barfi!", "Happy Ending" and "Rustom", says many times she looks at others' work and doubts if she will ever get "such good stuff". "I am trying to keep myself positive because this industry can sort of engulf you and pull you down and cause so much of negativity where it can just cause you to doubt yourself as an actor, doubt yourself whether you are worth having those offers come your way, because there are so many other people," the actor told PTI. "It is such a competitive place and sometimes you see films come out and you feel, 'Am I ever going to get a film like that? Or a role like that?' It's like grass is always greener on the other side. You always feel the other person is getting better
Playing a blind musician wasn't easy: Ayushman
He may have proved his singing prowess with hits such as "Pani da rang", "Nazm nazm" and "Mitti di khushboo", but playing the role of a blind musician in his next film was not easy for Ayushmann Khurrana. The actor said he was drawn towards the film, being helmed by Sriram Raghavan, as music is an integral part of his real and reel life. "It was not easy (to play this role). I know music, I can play guitar, but learning piano from scratch... I had given a lot of time to learn it," Khurrana told PTI. He said that Raghavan, who is directing him for the first time, believes in doing impromptu things and that made things even tougher. "Sriram sir demands a lot from his actors. He will give you a situation and the milieu and ask you to react on it, and that is quite amazing. I am from the theatre background and so it was fun," he added. For the first time Ayushmann will be seen doing action sequences on-screen and calling the experience "crazy", the actor said he is waiting for the ...

The 43-year-old star says playing Sheila in the series has reminded her of the importance of "putting a little into yourself does make you feel a little more alive".

"... It is called 'Santa Clarita Diet' but it is more than that for me. It is doing her hair and putting on nails and accessorising. Sheila has reminded me in a way that sometimes putting a little into yourself does make you feel a little more alive. Isn't it ironic? ... This is a smooth sailing ship, there is no drama.
