Nawaz shoots in a Maoist area
It was a close shave for Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who was shooting for Buddhadeb Dasgupta's Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa in the Maoist-affected area of Shimultala in Bihar.
The beautiful hill resort in the Jamui district is known for its Maoist activities. Nawaz and his unit braved the dangers as the film demanded the location. However, last Friday the crew had to hastily leave Shimultala to avoid a confrontation with the Maoists. Said Nawaz: “We had to wrap up for our shooting and leave as there was a bandh call from the Maoists. No one in the area dares to defy closure orders from the Maoists. We had no option but to pack our bags.” The rest of the shooting was completed in Kolkata.
I love graveyards and old churches, I find them peaceful and quiet. It all started 15 years ago when I first visited Pere lachaise in Paris. I don't pray though, I meditate

‘Acting is all about letting go’
Chris Pine, who played the bold, brash James T Kirk in JJ Abrams' sci-fi film Star Trek in 2009, says an actor does well when he learns to let go. And he believes, he is yet to learn that. Praising Pine's talent, Abrams once said the actor can be very hard on himself. To that, Pine said in a statement: “He is right. It can be very painful sometimes because if you are a perfectionist, and you believe there is the right way of doing something, you more often than not fail in that endeavour. And the best acting is all about letting go and I haven't really quite gotten there yet. I think I am getting there — knock on wood — it's hard and painful sometimes. In particular, watching myself (on screen) is a recipe for disaster,” he added.
