‘Want to work with Bala’s director’

Actor Varun Dhawan has said that he would like to collaborate with Bala director Amar Kaushik in the future. Kaushik shot to fame last year with his horror comedy Stree.

“I love Amar (Kaushik) as a director. He is someone with whom I would like to work in future. I think the Bala’s trailer is really unique and the film has really good actors like Saurabh Shukla, Javed Jaffrey, Yami Gautam and Bhumi Pednekar — and Ayushmann is undoubtedly wonderful,” said Varun, while interacting with the media at a special screening of Bala.

Actors like Sara Ali Khan, Ileana D’Cruz, and Varun Sharma attended film’s screening.

‘The rap — Tera Baap Aaya sets a power-packed and punchy tone for our film. Works incredibly with the space we have created the world of the film in. The song has an undeniable adrenaline pumping, edgy vibe which is for the fearless and rebellious youth.’

Actress Yami Gautam, who recently attended a two-day global investors’ meet in Dharamshala, said she feels honoured to be a part of the event as it was inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi.

“It was a humble experience to share the stage with our honourable PM and chief minister of Himachal Pradesh, Jai Ram Thakur. I am thrilled to be a part of this event that is working towards evolving Himachal into a stronger state,” she said.

Kindness reminds Julia of sister

Actor Julia Roberts says she has always believed kindness has many forms and that she thinks of her sister Lisa Gillan when she thinks of kindness.

“When I graduated from high school, she had already moved to New York and was enrolled in theatre school. Surely, with lots on her plate and mind at 19 years old, but when I asked to move in with her just days after I graduated (mainly, because I missed her) she never blinked an eye or asked for the outline of time or ideas before saying yes,” she said.

“Her kindness was so reflexive and warm that I did not even recognise it as such at the time. But the feeling of it, the sense of belonging it provided me with was and is one of the great motivators of my life,” added Julia.
