Ali Fazal turns real life director, directs a critical scene for Tigmanshu Dhulia's Milan Talkies

Ali Fazal is a director’s actor. He improvises, follows orders and tries to understand his director’s requirements to its fullest for a scene. But imagine if the roles get reversed and Ali also becomes the director for a scene. That is exactly what happened during the shoot for Milan Talkies, Tigmanshu Dhulia’s film that has been years in the making.

The Victoria and Abdul actor just turned director on the sets of the film to understand his character better. Ali plays a director in the film that revolves around the single screen cinemas that have been dying out. To get into director mode, he wanted to direct a scene and look at all the aspects from the background actors, the dialogue deliver, the ambient sound, the cinematography to learn for his reel life job. The actor has always been one to delve deep into a character and this time was no different.

When asked about how it felt directing, the actor said, “i cant quite reveal which part of the film i worked upon or that part will or will not be in the film but i can say this- i have learnt many trades on a tigmanshu dhulia set. My saying this might piss a lot of people off but i am not anxious about what the fateful friday will bring to us because this experience this journey has been a personal one for me. It is diff for each actor and artist and so was mine. Each to his/her. For me, the fun has just begun. Its like when u learn to do something and then u just cant wait to donit again and again. But i wish the team well because everyone’s sweat and muscle went into the making of Milan Talkies  …”

It will be fun to watch Ali’s directed scene on the big screen.

Vivek Dahiya Ups The Style Game

Actor Vivek Dahiya who is known for not only his good looks and fit body has also been one of the most experimental actors on television when it comes to style.  From his fusion looks last Diwali to his tailored suits, there is no one who ups the style game like Vivek Dahiya.  And this time around at the red carpet of Star Parivaar Awards, the Qayamat Ki Raat actor decided to go with a blazer but once again with a twist.  Rather than opting for the usual black, grey, blue blazers, Vivek chose the daring red as his color.  And we must say we are loving the look as there are very few who can carry off the fiery color so well!

Tarun Khanna enters as Chanakya in SET’s PORUS

The versatile and handsome actor Tarun Khanna, who has stepped into the shoes of Chetan Pandit to play Chanakya in Sony Entertainment Television’s magnum opus show  'Porus' is leaving no stone unturned to do justice to his character. To look authentic as the character of Chanakya the actor has decided to shave his head for real and has stopped going to the gym as well. The actor is rigorously preparing for his role by reading Chanakyaniti on the sets. Just like the perfectionist that he is Tarun wants to get into the skin of his character and bring out the best version visually. He spends his free time on the set by reading things of that era. 

When asked Tarun says, “The role of Chanakya completes my trilogy. It is also the most challenging role of my career so far. Chanakya is the most well-known character in the Indian history of all times along with Mahatma Gandhi. I have been his fan since my childhood. I remember reading Chanakyaniti when I was in school but never knew I would be playing the character someday. I went crazy when I saw Dr. Dwiwedi portray his character and it inspired me to play Chanakya from then itself. Now that I have this role, I want to excel in it. I keep reading Chanakyaniti in my free time, I have also downloaded an E-book on my phone. I can’t thank Siddharth Kumar Tiwari enough for giving me this opportunity.”

Preetisheel Singh looks forward to AndhaDhun, RAW and Thackeray

This year has been a great one for National Award-winning make-up, hair and prosthetic designer Preetisheel Singh. Starting out with the blockbuster success of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat, where she created the looks for Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh as the wicked Alauddin Khilji, she also designed the endearing looks of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor for Umesh Shukla's runaway hit 102 Not Out.

Last month, the makeover wiz had her hattrick clincher with Anubhav Sinha's Mulk; a gripping take on Muslim patriotism in a Hindu-majority India. The film not only made an indelible mark at the box-office, but managed to effectively send out a fabulous message of equality and brotherhood. 

The lady is excited about the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer AndhaDhun next. "I've got a chance to work with Sriram Raghavan for the first time. It's a cool flick and I'm proud to be the makeup designer for it," says Preetisheel, who has also just finished her work for Romeo Akbar Walter (RAW) with John Abraham donning multiple looks. But she quips that RAW is gonna be a "surprise package" so she can't reveal about the looks as of now. 

And finally there is Thackeray, where Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays the role of Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray. "The praise received by Thackeray's teaser was humongous. I'm grateful to the makers who have entrusted me with this responsibility. Am a bit anxious too and have my fingers crossed," she adds. 

At the pace Preetisheel delivers one memorable character look after another, it's obvious there's no looking back for her.
