Greater Noida, April 24: The silence at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) was broken by a loud screeching sound of roaring Lamborghinis as Bollywood stars Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devgn took over the racing track to show each other who is 'Tezz'!

Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devgn at a promotional event for their upcoming film 'Tezz' at Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida on Monday. PTIThe actors, who were here Monday to promote their forthcoming film "Tezz", took everyone by surprise with their stylish entry. Both the actors tried their hands on the Italian super sports car and were fascinated by its speed on the 5.14 km-track, which was developed for the country's inaugural Formula One Grand Prix last year.

"The highest speed at which we drove today was 260 kmph. I've never done such an act before in my life," Anil told reporters here post the casual race, in which Ajay was faster. "It's like an addiction! We drove four laps and still wanted to do more. This track is simply amazing and very smooth," added the 52-year-old.

Looking comfortable in a blue checked shirt and wayfarer shades, Ajay said: "This is the first time that someone from Bollywood has come up with the idea of promoting a movie on a racing track. It's very exciting yet innovative." "Tezz", releasing Friday, also features Zayed Khan, Boman Irani, Sameera Reddy and Kangna Ranaut. It is directed by the maverick Priyadarshan, whose showbiz career spans close to three decades.

Known for his comedy flicks, the filmmaker says he wanted to try something new. That's the reason why he thought of directing an action thriller this time. "It's a social drama, thriller and is about a chase between cops and criminals. This is the 84th film of my career. I've put all my experience in this movie. The movie also has a thin line of emotions, something similar to 'Deewaar' and 'Sholay'," Priyadarshan, who was also present at the track, said here.

Washington D.C., Jun 7: South Korean pop band BTS and their record label Big Hit Entertainment have donated USD one million to support Black Lives Matter.

According to Variety, the donation was transferred earlier this week, with Black Lives Matter confirming receipt to the label on Friday.

"Black people all over the world are in pain at this moment from the trauma of centuries of oppression. We are moved by the generosity of BTS and allies all over the world who stand in solidarity in the fight for Black lives," the outlet quoted Kailee Scales, managing director for Black Lives Matter as saying.

The widely lauded band, earlier on Wednesday, took to Twitter to show their solidarity with the people fighting against the social injustice.

"We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together," the tweet read.

The pledge of the donation from the Korean boy band and its label comes during a time when people and celebrities from the industry have come forward to demonstrate their support for the black community.

Several big names from the music and acting industry also observed 'Blackout Tuesday' earlier the week as a message of solidarity in response o the death of George Floyd, an African-American man in the United States.

Mumbai, May 17: TV actor Manmeet Grewal, who worked on shows like "Aadat Se Majboor" and "Kuldeepak", committed suicide after struggling with dwindling finances amid lockdown, family friend-producer Manjit Singh Rajput said.

Grewal, who was originally from Punjab, hanged himself on Friday night at his Kharghar residence here where he lived with his wife. He was 32.

Rajput, who had known Grewal for nearly seven years, said the actor was facing "financial crisis" and wasn't able to earn due to the lockdown. 

"He was going through a major financial issue and he was also in depression. The added pressure of not being able to repay loans amid this (no work phase) got to him. His wife is completely shocked and devastated," Rajput told PTI.

The producer said last rites of the actor were performed on Saturday. 

Grewal was working on projects like a webseries and some commercials, which were put on hold due to the nationwide lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic.
