Hyderabad, Jan 25: Popular Malayalam film actress Kalpana passed away on Monday, film director Sibi Malayil said.
She is believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest.
The 50-year-old actress had acted in more than 300 films and was in Hyderabad to attend a private function.
She had bagged the National Award for the Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "Thanichalla Njan".
Popular actress Urvashi and Kalaranjini are her siblings.
New Delhi, April 6: Acknowledging on being scared and talking of not seeing his family for three weeks, actor Salman Khan along with nephew Nirvaan on Sunday shared their lockdown experience in a video message.
The 54-year-old star, without disclosing where the actor actually is, shared a video message on Twitter along with his brother Sohail Khan's son, Nirvaan.
Salman began the one-minute and 26-seconds long video, by saying: "We came here for a few days and now we're stuck and scared"
The 'Bharat' actor then introduced Nirvaan and asked him "How long has it been since you saw your father?", to which Nirvaan replied, "It must have been three weeks."
"I have not seen my father for three weeks. We are here and he is alone at home," Salman added.
The 'Sultan' actor then asks the boy: "You remember the film dialogue, 'the one who got scared, died.' It does not apply here in this situation. We are scared and bravely we admit that we are scared. Please don't be brave in this situation."
Nirvaan also further requested everybody to stay safe and maintain social-distance.
"I think it's better for everyone to stay home, avoid contact and I think the longer we stay indoors the faster this ends," he added.
The 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' star concluded the video by saying: "The one who got afraid saved himself and lives of others around him. Moral of the story, 'We're all scared'."
Urging people to take the government's advisory of self-isolation seriously amid the rising cases of coronavirus in the country, the megastar had earlier shared a video message for fans.
London, Feb 12: Oscar-winning British director Steve McQueen is returning to his art roots with a series of short films at London's Tate Modern art gallery, offering a sensory exploration of black identity.
McQueen, who became the first black director to win the best picture Academy Award in 2014 for "12 Years a Slave", is now based between London and Amsterdam and is focused on championing diversity in the film industry.
Visitors to his new exhibition will be greeted by "Static", a film of New York's Statue of Liberty, scrutinising the iconic symbol from every possible angle at very close range against a deafening backdrop of the helicopter from where the footage was filmed.
"What interests Steve is our view of the world, how humans are trying to represent Liberty," said Fiontan Moran, assistant curator of the exhibition.
"7th Nov, 2001" features a still shot of a body while McQueen's cousin Marcus tells of how he accidentally killed his brother, a particularly traumatic experience for the artist.
"Western Deep" is another visceral work, giving a sense through sights and sounds in an interactive installation of the experiences of miners in South Africa, following them to the bottom of the mine.
"Ashes", meanwhile, is a tribute to a young fisherman from Grenada, the island where McQueen's family originated.
The images of beauty and sweetness filmed from his boat are tragically reversed on the other side of the projection screen, which shows a grave commissioned by McQueen for the eponymous young fisherman, who was killed by drug traffickers.
African-American singer, actor and civil rights activist Paul Robeson (1898-1976) is honoured in "End Credits".
The film shows censored FBI documents detailing the agency's surveillance of Robeson, read by a voice-over artist, for five hours.
"He is... testing the limits of how people can be documented in an era of mass surveillance," said Moran.
In a similarly militant vein, the exhibition features the sculpture "Weight", which was first shown in the prison cell where the writer and playwright Oscar Wilde was imprisoned.
It depicts a golden mosquito net draped over a metal prison bed frame, addressing the theme of confinement and the power of the imagination to break free.
The show runs alongside an exhibition of McQueen's giant portraits of London school classes, many of which appeared on the streets of London last year.
"I remember my first school trip to Tate when I was an impressionable eight-year-old, which was really the moment I gained an understanding that anything is possible," said McQueen, adding it was "where in some ways my journey as an artist first began".
He recently told the Financial Times newspaper the difference between his art films and his feature films was that the former were poetry, the latter like a novel.
"Poetry is condensed, precise, fragmented," he said. "The novel is the yarn".
The exhibition opens on February 13 and runs until May 11.
