Mumbai, Jun 22: Veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Mubarakan alongside his nephew Arjun Kapoor, has said that it was not easy for him to survive in the industry for over three decades.anilkapoor

The actor has collaborated for the fifth time with filmmaker Anees Bazmee for Mubarakan. The trailer of the film was recently released and is well received by the audiences.en

"...I am working in this industry for last 38 years and in these years, I did various kind of roles and surviving in this industry for 38 years is not easy thing to achieve. I feel, I must have done something right in all these years to hold my position in the industry." Anil said at the trailer launch of "Mubarakan".

The 60-year-old, who made his Bollywood debut with Padmini Kolhapure in "Woh Saat Din", also advised young actors to do films which are family entertainers.

"I want to urge all young actors to do family entertainers which have comedy, emotion and drama if they want to play longer innings in the industry. Films which have entertainment and message is the best combination to have as an actor and Mubarakan has all ingredients of typical commercial family entertainer," he said.

Talking about working with Bazmee, Anil said: "After long time, I am working in a family entertainer. Anees has one specialty in his films that when you see his earlier films like No entry, Welcome, Welcome Back or films written by him like Deewana Mastana or Laadla, there is not a single double meaning dialogue in it so it's always honour and privilege to work with him who is one of great director of the industry."

Actor Arjun Kapoor, who was also present for the trailer launch was asked about the increasing trend of double role movies as his friend and actor Varun Dhawan is also coming up with a double role in the film "Judwaa 2".

"Actors are doing double role since last 40-50 years. I have already done a film which had double role and now Varun is also doing double role in Judwaa 2 and I feel only concept of double role in both films will be similar and stories of both films will be completely poles apart," Arjun said.

He added: "I feel without comparing, each other's film, if these two films are able to entertain people and hold its unique identity then there is no better thing than this."

Chacha-Bhatija Jodi Arjun and Anil are sharing the screen space for the first time. The film, which also stars Athiya Shetty and Ileana D'Cruz, is all set to hit the screens on July 28.

Washington, Apr 8: Choosing stethoscope over the crown, Miss England 2019, Bhasha Mukherjee, has returned to work as a doctor as the world battles with coronavirus pandemic.

According to CNN, she was a junior doctor with a specialisation in respiratory medicine, before being crowned as Miss England in August last year. The beauty queen, who has her roots in India's Kolkata city, had taken a career break from the medical field.

She had paused her medical career for some humanitarian work that she was offered by several charities and was on a tour to different countries including India.

"I was invited to Africa, to Turkey, then to India, Pakistan and several other Asian countries to be an ambassador for various charity work," CNN quoted her as saying.

She had been in India at the beginning of March for four weeks. During her stay as an ambassador of the Coventry Mercia Lions Club, the 24-year-old had visited several schools and had donated stationery and other items to the needy.

Mukherjee then returned back UK as the situation worsened there with the coronavirus spreading at a fast rate. She then contacted the hospital and asked them that she wanted to rejoin.

According to CNN, the Miss England beauty pageant winner said that she felt wrong to be wearing the crown while people around the world were dying from the virus.

"When you are doing all this humanitarian work abroad, you're still expected to put the crown on, get ready... look pretty. I wanted to come back home. I wanted to come and go straight to work," CNN quoted her as saying.

"I felt a sense of this is what I'd got this degree for and what better time to be part of this particular sector than now. It was incredible the way the whole world was celebrating all key workers, and I wanted to be one of those, and I knew I could help," she added.

As the beauty queen has a recent travel history, she is currently in self-isolation and will return to work once her quarantine period is over.
She was crowned as Miss England 2019 in August last year.

According to World Health Organisation, 13,53,361people have been affected by coronavirus and over 80,000 people have lost their lives to it.

Washington D.C., Mar 1: British actor Daniel Radcliffe in a recent interview said he is not rushing back to reprise the role of young wizard, Harry Potter, anytime soon.

The 30-year-old star who rose to fame with the first eight films in J.K. Rowling's famed franchise, told Variety that he doesn't like to say no to things but reprising the role in the 'Fantastic Beasts' prequels is not something he's "rushing to do".

"I feel like those films have moved on and they're doing just fine without us. I'm happy to keep it that way. I like what my life is now," Radcliffe told the outlet.

"I'm not saying that I'll never go back into any franchise, but I like the flexibility that I have with my career now. And I don't want to get into a situation where I'm signed up for one series for years in advance," cited Variety as Radcliffe as saying.

Radcliffe is currently gearing up for his upcoming mystery-thriller 'Escape from Pretoria,' a true-life prison drama, where he is set to essay the character Tim Jenkin.

The forthcoming flick is set to hit the theatres on March 6.
