‘I believe in the number game’
After impressing the audience with his films like Kai Po Che and Shahid, Rajkummar Rao is riding high on Citylights. The national award-winning actor says his films to be commercially successful apart from being critically acclaimed. “I duly believe in the numbers game. It’s important for a film to find a balance. It should earn money besides getting critical acclaim. Till now, all my films have managed to achieve both and I hope Citylights gains more success,” said the actor.
Rajkummar, who made his Bollywood debut with love, Sex aur Dhokha in 2010, is currently busy shooting for Arbaaz Khan's production Dolly Ki Doli, in which he stars with Sonam Kapoor.
The first day when I met him (Rajnikanth) on the sets, I told him that it was an honour to work with him, and that I was very nervous. I remember him from Hum. I used to really like watching that film

Jon Favreau who shot to fame with Iron Man, is known for making high-budget capers. He is finally going back to his roots with his upcoming movie Chef which is a low-budget comedy. “Fortunately Robert and Scarlett liked the script and they were available to work and they didn’t mind not getting paid a lot of money, so I owe them all big favours,” he says. Robert Downey Jr considers Jon to be a mini saviour of his career by directing him in Iron Man and that is why the actor willingly decided to do this film for close to nothing.
Katy Perry takes drugs for anxiety
Singer Katy Perry says she consumes Beta blockers, a drug that treats migraine, high blood pressure and anxiety, every time before going on stage to perform.
The 29-year-old said that she takes pills before getting on stage at her concerts because she doesn’t want her nervousness to jeopardise her music career.
“I have to take Beta blockers. I get so nervous. I think I have to get through this. I can’t let these people down, but mostly I can't let myself down. I've been given a great opportunity. All I'm trying to do is make great music,” said the singer.
She also said that she would never mix a drug with alcohol, as it can lead to decreased heart activity. However, she doesn't mind a glass of champagne when she finishes a show.
“I always have one drink waiting for me when I get off stage — a glass of champagne,”said Perry.
