Nobody wear red. No loud noises. No food or drink on set.' He thought it was a joke. And I said, 'It's not a joke.' He did not want those lions close to me at all."

Mark Wahlberg is an excellent actor: Anthony Hopkins

Veteran actor #Anthony_Hopkins says his #TransformersTheLastKnight co-star #Mark_Wahlberg is a terrific actor.

mark-wahlberg-is-excellent-actor-anthony-hopkins
"He's really terrific. Excellent actor. And very quiet, actually. You know, comes on set prepared and does it. He also likes to improvise and I like that too," Hopkins said in a statement. 

He added: "Honestly, when you have a good script, and this was an excellent script, the rest is easy. If a director doesn't want you to improvise because he values his writing that much, then fine. Just learn the script. 

"But a really good director has the capacity to say, ‘Okay, let's kick this about'. Like how I worked with Woody Allen (‘You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' in 2010). He said, ‘So now you can do it again and kick it around a bit and improvise'. It's good to see people relaxed and being confident in what you can do."

There are two different Harry Potters, reveals Rowling

Author #JK_Rowling has revealed there were two different Harry Potters in the #Harry_Potter franchise.

there-are-two-different-harry-potters-reveals-rowling
When it comes to Harry's name, Rowling has now revealed the existence of a second Harry Potter who was never mentioned in the books, reports mirror.co.uk.

The revelation came in her latest post to Pottermore, a blog.

Henry Potter -- known as Harry to his friends -- was Harry's great grandfather who enjoyed an illustrious career as part of the Wizengamot from 1913 to 1921. Like the younger Harry, he was very pro-Muggle rights, which meant the author of pure blood guide "The Sacred Twenty-Eight" refused to recognise the Potter clan as pure blood.

Pleased to get ratings like one, one and half but not in minus: Salman

#Salman_Khan's #Tubelight is released this Friday did not go well with the critics but he is pleased as they did not give minus rating to film.

pleased-to-get-ratings-like-one-one-and-half
"The critics were really good. I was expecting minus 3 and minus 4 but they gave 1, 1.5 apparently, so i am very pleased," said Salman at an event where his "Being Human" joined hands with PVR for an initiative under which every time when a customer book tickets for a movie at PVR, they will get the option to pay Rs 2 extra and this amount will be given to the Being Human foundation for different causes.

About the feedback about his film, Salman said: "As per reports people are saying they can not see 'Bhai' (Salman) crying. So I asked, are they (audience) laughing and the answer was "no, they are crying". So I said don't worry about it."

"As it is an Eid release, people have preconceived notions and plans to throw coins, sing and dance at the cinema hall. So they have gone to watch a certain film but get to watch another film. This film is not of a kind which you watch with your buddies as you will not get an opportunity to dance or have fun. It is a very emotional film. Even an emotionless, stone hearted person will get tears in his eyes. So this is an emotional film to be seen with parents, grand parents and entire family."

I am very choosy: Upen Patel

Actor Upen Patel doesn't agree with the bazaar buzz that Suneel Darshan's romantic musical mystery "Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha" is his come-back film to Bollywood. Maintaining that he has always been part of the Hindi celluloid world, he says that he is choosy in picking his projects because he feels a responsibility towards his audience.

i-am-very-choosy-upen-patel
Upen pointed out that his last film in Bollywood was S. Shankar's "I" which released in 2015 -- only two years ago. "No one asks superstars like Aamir Khan or Salman Khan when they come out with a movie a year." 

"If Aamir Khan gives his biggest film every three years, no one asks what you were doing in the last three years. Hrithik Roshan comes out with a film after two years and no one asks where have you been," Upen told over phone. 

He added: "As an actor I get a lot of offers but I have to wait for the right movie. I have to do something that I believe in. I think a lot of actors take their time like Salman Khan. As an actor you have a certain responsibility towards your audience."

The actor has been part of big projects like "36 China Town", "Namastey London", "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" and S. Shankar's "I". He will be next seen in "Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha", which is set to release on June 30.

Story of Kailash Satyarthi deserves a biopic: Boman Irani

Actor #Boman_Irani feels people should be aware of the contribution that Nobel laureate and social activist #Kailash_Satyarthi is making to the society, and says that it would be a good idea to make a biopic on him.

He added: "So, I think the good deeds of Kailash Satyarthi deserve a biopic, not because he would like to be glorified, but (to highlight) the fact that there is an India out there, and a man is constantly working to make that a better place."

Satyarthi is known for his global crusade against child slavery and exploitative child labour. He shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 with Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan
