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.

New Delhi, Jun 3: "This year feels relentless," actor Priyanka Chopra said urging Mumbai residents to take precautionary measures in view of Cyclone Nisarga.

The cyclone storm is approaching the north coast of Maharashtra with a speed of 11 kilometres per hour, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday.

Sharing Mumbai's famous Bandra-Worli Sea Link road picture on her Instagram story, the actor wrote: "Cyclone Nisarga is making its way to Mumbai, my beloved home city of more than 20 million people, including my mom and brother."

"Mumbai hasn't experienced a serious cyclone landfall since 1891, and at a time when the world is so desperate, this could be especially devastating," the 'Don' actor added.

"This year feels relentless. Please, everyone, find cover, take precautions, and follow the guidelines outlines. Please stay safe everyone, " said Chopra as she shared a swipe up link to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) page that details the Do's and Don'ts for Mumbaikars to take on Cyclone Nisarga.

Earlier, the IMD had stated that the severe cyclonic storm is expected to impact the Maharashtra coast by the afternoon/evening of June 3.

On Tuesday, actor Vicky Kaushal shared a picture of the cloudy sky on the photo-sharing platform and hoped that the "first showers only bring relief and joy and not too much drama." The 'Raazi' actor also urged people to stay safe.

The special will see Dave Salmoni, Animal Planet’s big cat expert, talking to a number of experts, from the World Health Organization to wildlife biologists, in order to find out how COVID-19 is affecting animals and what pet owners can do to safeguard them.

The issue came to forefront when a four-year-old Malayan tiger tested positive for COVID-19 at Bronx Zoo in New York.

The documentary will feature chief veterinarian of Bronx Zoo, who will give an update on the big cats and their treatment, and also Dr Peter Embarek from WHO's COVID-19 Task Force, who works particularly on all aspects of the virus related to animals.

"We're speaking to a wide range of experts from the World Health Organization, to wildlife biologists, to veterinarians. We are at war with this disease and so we get down to the nitty-gritty, and discuss practical questions about daily lives with our pets," he added.

Sai Abishek, Director – Content, Factual & Lifestyle Entertainment – South Asia, Discovery, said, "We have been the forefront of busting myths around novel coronavirus with international documentaries. With this latest film, we take a hard look at how animals are being treated during such a crisis and the safety measures that can be taken to keep both, the people and their pets healthy."
