Pooja Jhaveri: I would definitely want to work with Nani

Pooja Jhaveri: I would definitely want to work with Nani

By Murtuza Iqbal


Pooja Jhaveri has been a part of movies like Bham Bolenath, Thodari, Dwarka, and others. She was recently seen on the big screen in the movie Bangaru Bullodu in which she was paired opposite actor Allari Naresh.

We recently interacted with Pooja and while talking about her experience of working with Naresh, the actress told us, “Amazing! Every time when you work with different people, you get different experiences. It’s like you get to learn a lot. Allari Naresh has been in the industry for more than 15 years, so you definitely get to learn a lot from him. His comic timing is amazing. So, it was great working with him and very smooth.”

Pooja has earlier worked with actors like Dhanush, Vijay Deverakonda, and others. When we asked her which actor she would like to share screen space with, the actress stated, “I have a long list. But, in the South, I would definitely want to work with Nani. The scripts and stories that he selects are really good, so I would want to work with him. Apart from him, I have a long list with whom I would like to share screen space.”

In 2017, Pooja had worked with Vijay Deverakonda in the film Dwarka. The movie had failed to make a mark at the box office, but when asked about her experience of working with Vijay, Pooja said, “What happened wrong with Dwarka was the release. We were supposed to release in November (2016), and on 8th November demonetization happened.  At that time, people weren’t going to the theatres because they did not have money to spend on a movie. So, then from November, we had to push it to March (2017), and until March I think people were still suffering.”

“So, I think that was the major reason why Dwarka did not do well. But later, we got an amazing response from people like it got remade in Tamil and people dubbed it in Hindi. Even today, every alternate day, you can watch it on Set Max. And working with Vijay was amazing. He is a very calm person to work with. Now, yes Liger is coming and I wish him all the best.”

Johnny Depp's dramatic new look in ‘Day Drinker’ sends internet into a frenzy

Johnny Depp is stepping back into Hollywood’s mainstream with a powerful new role in Day Drinker, his first major studio film since the defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. With a fresh look and an intriguing character, Depp is ready to headline a movie that’s already got people talking.

In the first official image from the film, Depp appears nearly unrecognisable. Dressed in a deep navy suit, his long silver hair pulled back and a salt-and-pepper beard framing his face, he cuts a sharp yet mysterious figure. Holding a glass in one hand, he looks worlds away from the roles fans might remember, but that’s exactly what’s catching everyone's attention.

Aimee Lou Wood criticises SNL’s ‘White Potus’ parody for mocking her teeth

Aimee Lou Wood, star of The White Lotus, recently found herself at the centre of controversy after a parody of her character aired on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The skit, a political spoof titled The White Potus, humorously exaggerated aspects of the show, but for Wood, it went too far. Comedian Sarah Sherman impersonated Wood's character, Chelsea, with oversized prosthetic teeth. For Aimee Lou, this portrayal hit a nerve, and she openly criticised it.

Taking to Instagram, the actress expressed her discontent, calling the parody “mean and unfunny.” She argued that while she understood SNL was known for satire, the skit could have been executed with more sophistication and less cheap humour. Wood, who has always been open about her unique appearance, especially her noticeable gap teeth, clarified that she doesn't mind caricatures or playful jabs, but felt this one crossed a line. “I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth,” she wrote, pointing out that the entire joke seemed to target her appearance rather than the content of the skit.

As the drummers pounded out fierce rhythms, Hanumankind launched into Run It Up, his latest hit and the crowd packed with both die-hard fans and curious newcomers, went wild.

Blue Origin

Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and Gayle King soar to space in a historic all-women Blue Origin flight

On Monday morning, six women including pop icon Katy Perry boarded a Blue Origin rocket in West Texas and took off on a short flight to space. The crew spent just over 10 minutes on the journey, experiencing those minutes of weightlessness before they safely returned to Earth.

What made this flight stand out, though, wasn’t just the celebrity presence. This was the first time in over six decades that an all-women team flew to space together. The last time anything close happened was in 1963, when Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to orbit Earth, alone, on a Soviet mission.
