Nawaz meets criminals

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who will be playing the role of a gruesome criminal in his forthcoming film Monsoon Shootout, met some criminals for his role prep and was joined by his colleague Vijay Varma in this interesting role prep.

To prepare for their role and to understand the script better, they visited a rehabilitation centre to meet people who had committed crimes in the past and to get in touch with what life is like on the other end of the spectrum. They visited these centres to get a first-hand understanding of their behaviour. This helped them etch their characters on screen better and get a sense of script more in-depth.   The film is a psychological thriller and thus Nawaz wanted to do justice to his character.

‘Fatherhood has changed me in every single way. It's the first thing you think about in the morning and the last thing you think about at night... It's his first Christmas. He's only going to be interested in the wrapping paper, so buy the shiniest one.  You might see a different Liam after Christmas’

Bollywood beauty Madhuri Dixit feels that among the current crop of actresses, Deepika Padukone — who will next be seen in the controversial period drama Padmavati — has an aura best suited for historical characters.

“I have always felt that beauty comes from within and we have a lot of beautiful actresses. I think all Indian actresses are beautiful.”

Goulding smitten by new beau

Singer Ellie Goulding is reportedly smitten with her new boyfriend Caspar Jopling.

Goulding is getting serious with the art dealer and has been staying more in New York so that she can spend more time with him. “It's a big commitment but Ellie doesn't want to endure a trans-Atlantic romance. She is in the fortunate position where her job enables her to be based in different countries when her schedule isn't packed with promo duties and shows,” a source said.

The source added: “Currently it's much easier for her to travel than it is for Caspar, and Ellie is willing to put the work in. Any free time she has is mainly spent in New York and it really helps that she loves spending time there.”
