As a mark of respect to the contribution Rajinikanth has made to Indian cinema, AirAsia has devoted a special livery to the superstar and his die-hard fans.

AirAsia India unveiled its all new re-branded aircraft, with a livery dedicated to the most awaited movie of the year – Kabali, which is expected to be released next month across the globe.

Bearing the image of superstar Rajini from the movie Kabali, parts of the aircraft have been painted and stickered with the livery. Kalaipuli S Thanu, proprietor, V Creations said, “It is the first time in the history of Indian cinema that an airline has dedicated an aircraft to a movie.”

Claiming that only a cinema star like Rajinikanth commands such popularity and fame breaking barriers of age and geography, he said, “We are thrilled beyond words to see such excitement surrounding Kabali from the fans and brands that have associated with us.”

The aircraft will be flying across the AirAsia India network of destinations spanning Bengaluru, New Delhi, Goa, Pune, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Guwahati, Imphal, Vizag and Kochi. The excitement does not end here. As an official airline partner for the Rajinikanth starrer Kabali, superstar fans from across India can get to Bengaluru and fly to Chennai to watch the movie.

“This special plane, powered by Thalaivar (Rajinikanth) quite literally, is dedicated to Rajini fans across the globe,” Amar Abrol, CEO, AirAsia India said.

After his blockbuster Endhiran, Rajinikanth’s latest movies such as Lingaa and animated film Kochadaiiyaan flopped at box offices. Kochadaiiyaan, directed by Rajinikanth’s daughter Soundarya R Ashwin, was the first motion capture film.

Directed by K S Ravikumar, Lingaa, which was produced by Kannada film producer Rockline Venkatesh and marketed worldwide by Eros Entertainment, also failed with producers demanding Rajinikanth to compensate their loss.

The release of Kabali, expected in June, was postponed. Now, the release of the movie has been further postponed to July 22.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is returning from the US soon and is expected to resume shooting for his upcoming mega budget film 2.0.

Washington, Jun 13: American actor Gwyneth Paltrow is opening up about her experience during the coronavirus quarantine.

According to Fox News, the 47-year-old star explained to Shape magazine, the July-August cover issue of which she has graced -- that she hadn't realised just "how much the normal pace of life was overburdening our bodies, our minds, and our nervous systems."

The Goop founder explained, "As we have been forced into the confines of our own homes, that has brought up a lot of emotional distress for some, and for others, it has been very peaceful. In my case, I have experienced both."

The 'Iron Man' actor said that she has now started to "settle down" in her "brain and body."

She added of the lockdown, "It has given me new perspective about how much I will take on going forward."

Paltrow noted that before the quarantine, she was always trying to get "wellness moments" in, but she wasn't "really decompressing" until the weekends or on vacations.

"Now I feel different, letting my body go to sleep and wake up in its natural rhythm, having my kids around all the time, eating meals together and having meaningful conversations," she said of her children,16-year-old daughter Apple, and 14-year-old son Moses, whom she shares with ex Chris Martin.

Paltrow noted, "We linger at the table; our dinners are an hour and a half long. My heart feels fuller, and my mind feels calmer in that respect."

For how she de-stresses, the 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' actor said, "I try to do exercises every day for my back and neck because of all the Zoom calls I'm on."

In addition, Paltrow says she and her husband Brad Falchuk go for walks at least three to four times per week. She also takes online fitness and yoga classes.

New Delhi, Jun 2: After Amitabh Bachchan, it is actor Akshay Kumar, who has come forward to support Bhumi Pednekar's initiative -- Climate Warrior -- urging the people to plant trees.

Bhumi Pednekar has sought to bring Bollywood together to spread awareness about mother nature through her campaign in view of the coming World Environment Day (June 5).

The campaign endeavours to get leaders from the entertainment industry to tell what is the 'one wish they have for the earth.'

Following the thread, the 'Kesari' actor was seen raising his voice on issues, and have taken steps to bring awareness to important causes like climate change.

"Our Beautiful Planet that has sustained us now needs us to protect it more than ever. During this time we as a community must tread carefully and act immediately" Akshay Kumar was seen saying in a video posted by Pednekar on Instagram.

"A lot of damage has been done and climate change is a grave reality that all of us are facing," he added.

Explaining his one wish to rebuild mother nature, is, as he says: "The simplest act of planting trees."

"I consider this as one of the most basic and efficient deeds that we can exercise individually and also urge others to do so. Let us do our bit to heal and rebuild the only planet we have. So join me and become a Climate Warrior," the 'Padman' actor concluded.

Ahead of the World Environment Day, and in support of Bhumi's initiative, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan earlier in the day also pledged to be 'climate-conscious' in a bid to protect nature.
