Malang actor Amruta Khanvilkar glad for not getting typecast

Amruta Khanvilkar started out on television and then moved to Marathi cinema. But the talented actress also keeps appearing in strong supporting roles in Hindi movies. She is currently drawing praises for playing a brief but important character in the recently released film Malang (2020), helmed by Mohit Suri. In the movie, she is seen as a simple catholic girl paired opposite Kunal Kemmu.

Heaping praises on co-actor Kemmu, Amruta Khanvilkar says, "Kunal is a thorough professional. He went through a rigorous training routine and on set he used to work out to look what he has looked in the film. Since I am a Maharashtrian, he had this habit of speaking to me in Marathi which made me super comfortable. He being a fine actor not only helped me in my performance but people also loved our chemistry.”

The actress is pleased that she has managed to register her presence in movies with her powerful supporting characters. She is also glad with the fact that Hindi filmmaker do not come to her with typical Marathi characters, something which happens a lot with actors from Marathi cinema.

“I am glad that filmmakers are not giving me typical Marathi roles which happen quite a lot when you are from the Marathi industry. I am glad that I am not getting typecast. I am happy doing what I am doing. Today, supporting cast is bringing their own game and are quite responsible for the success of the film,” she said in conclusion.

Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Luv Ranjan and Bhushan Kumar, Malang stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Disha Patani in lead roles. Anil Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu and Amruta Khanvilkar are seen playing powerful supporting characters.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.

There have been many instances across generations where once-popular leading men, unwilling to grow old gracefully, have clung to past glories so desperately that they have ended up dismantling their own legacies.

These ageing Bollywood idols continued romancing inappropriately young heroines, playing roles far removed from their real age, and starring in outdated movies where their presence mattered more than the storyline.
