The first look of Nayanthara’s Dora is eerily reminiscent of the actress’ previous release, Maya

Newsworthy

Actor Tom Hanks interrupted his own Sully Q&A session at the Telluride Film Festival to heap praises on La La Land. “This is not a movie that falls into some sort of trend. I think it is going to be a test of the broader national audience, because it has none of the things that major studios want. Pre-Awareness is a big thing they want, which is why a lot of remakes are going on. (La La) is not a sequel, nobody knows who the characters are…But if the audience doesn’t go and embrace something as wonderful as this then we are all doomed,” he said.

Spotlight

Amitabh Bachchan penned a beautiful letter to his granddaughters, Navya Naveli Nanda and Aaradhya Bachchan. As usual, it went viral.

“Both of you maybe a Nanda or a Bachchan, but you are also girls…women !

And because you are women people will force their thinking, their boundaries on you.

They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go.

Don’t live in the shadows of people’s judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.

Don’t let anyone make you believe that the length of your skirt is a measure of your character.”
