Mumbai, Jun 11: Bollywood actor Govinda's daughter Tina Ahuja, who is making her acting debut with Second Hand Husband, dismissed reports that her father had asked superstar Salman Khan for her launch into the industry.

tina-ahujaIn 2007, Tina had accompanied Salman during the IIFA Awards, which had triggered speculations that she would soon enter Bollywood. There were also reports that Salman would launch her in Dabangg, which was a blockbuster in 2010.

"It was said that my dad asked him (Salman) to launch me. But it is not true. That was just a rumour. I was never going to be launched by him. It was all created by media," Tina told PTI.

Salman is known for promoting newcomers in Bollywood, including Katrina Kaif, Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Suraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty.

Since Salman launched actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi in Dabangg, things had reportedly turned sour between him and Govinda.

When asked about Salman, the upcoming actress said, "I have met him (Salman) just two-three times. I was too shy to talk to him. I don't know what to say to him. He is my father's friend, not mine."

Her debut film Second Hand Husband is being directed by Smeep Kang and also stars Gippy Grewal, Dharmendra among others. It is set for a release on July 3.

Tina has expressed her desire to work with actors like Akshay Kumar and Hollywood star Tom Cruise.

Los Angeles, Jun 26: Warner Bros has moved its Christopher Nolan-directed espionage thriller Tenet from July 31 to August 12.

It's the second delay for the highly-anticipated movie, which was originally scheduled to release on July 17 but was postponed to July 31 due to coronavirus pandemic.

Warner Bros. is committed to bringing Tenet' to audiences in theaters, on the big screen, when exhibitors are ready and public health officials say it's time. In this moment what we need to be is flexible, and we are not treating this as a traditional movie release.

We are choosing to open the movie mid-week to allow audiences to discover the film in their own time, and we plan to play longer, over an extended play period far beyond the norm, to develop a very different yet successful release strategy, a Warner Bros spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline.

The studio has also delayed the US re-release of Nolan's sci-fi blockbuster Inception, in honour of the film's 10th anniversary, to July 31.

Tenet features John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Caine, Clemence Poesy, Dimple Kapadia and Himesh Patel.

Indore, Jan 14: Yoga guru Ramdev has said that Deepika Padukone should hire persons like him for offering correct advice, days after the actress had visited Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi following the violence at the campus earlier this month.

"Deepika Padukone needs to study about political, social and cultural issues. She should understand more about our country. Only after gaining knowledge, she should take decisions. I feel she should have persons like Swami Ramdev for correct advice," Ramdev said at an event here on Monday.

On January 7, Padukone joined the protest at JNU after a masked mob entered the varsity campus and attacked the students and teachers with sticks and rods on January 5.

Several BJP leaders questioned the support extended by Padukone. On the other hand, the Congress threw their weight behind the actress for her stand.
