No dark clothes, no bright colours, nothing synthetic, actor Arun Mandola says that the summers have really made this rack his brains on what to wear. “This is the first time that I am not wearing black colour clothes or any bright or even dark colours because it is too hot outside.

I feel that it's better to be quiet and lie low. I have come up in situations like these for whatever reasons in the past but when it's not your fault, you can't keep explaining to people.

Youngest choreographer-director Saurabh Prajapati’s latest track Dhokebaaz has been doing well. He has choreographed the song and worked with Vivek Oberoi and Tridha Choudhury for the same. The song has already reached 28 million views and counting, and the team is in a celebratory mood.   “Dhokebaaz getting great response for its audio and video is a humbling feeling. In fact, in both, it has already crossed 34 million in a very short time. I’m happy that people are enjoying the track, many have told us that they listen to this song on loop. Dhokebaaz is a different kind of song, even the choreography is different too. We have kept much of classical dancing, lavni or lavani etc for which one has to be professionally trained.

It was a raw shoot and I played multiple characters in that," he says. He adds, "Sometimes I became Shiv, other times Ram or Hanuman. We had a limited time of four days. The movie is named ‘Character’ because one person is playing multiple roles. This kala is going on from the time of Raja-Maharajas as people used to play multiple roles and that's where acting has come from.

Actor Siddharth, who has been recently seen in the web series Escaype Live, says that OTT has helped him develop his acting craft to a greater degree than his films. The actor adds that since in a web series, the total screen time is longer, he is able to do a lot more.   “OTT has given me exciting things to do with my characters. In a film, you are addressing a two and a half-hour exposure. Here, you are addressing a nine-hour exposure. So, you are creating many more details about the character. It becomes more intimate. It’s almost like you’re reading a book while watching the film. I had received many offers but I chose my work for a very specific reason. Firstly, I need to enjoy watching the content. Secondly, I should see a challenge in playing that character that I have not done so far. And thirdly, I should get something to learn. This is my trifecta of why I do a film,” he says.   The actor adds that the world of entertainment has gradually changed and this...

Actor Rohit Agrawal, who is part of Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s brand new web series Escaype Live, says that social media needs to set limits on how content is viewed. The series talks about lengths people go to get famous and earn money on social media and Rohit says that some of this content might not be appropriate for kids.   “I feel that certain content should be only visible to people of a certain age. There should be some bifurcation because many times there's some content which is not suitable for a small kid, as it might affect the developing brain of that kid. You never know how he or she might be impacted. That's why I feel that the thin line should be maintained by the creators themselves. Content is only for entertainment purpose, just like the app Escaype Live is too in the series,” he says.   Talking about the show, he says, “I am pretty sure the audience is loving Escaype Live already and they might be excited and curious for the climax and the final e...
