She is humbled to be a part of a unique pageant which celebrates women from all walks of life and said, ” I’m the only actor in the family of doctors and it took a lot to create my own Pehchan. Not everyone was supportive of me entering this field, but my parents supported me a lot. I feel there are a lot of women who want to do something out of the box and achieve their dreams but they are oppressed as they are dependent financially, emotionally or in any way. So I felt the urge to support the cause of empowering women and encouraging them to create their own identity. So from the age of 26, I have been associated with causes and ventures that celebrate womanhood.”

Taylor Swift has released a new visual accompaniment to her 10-minute version of “All Too Well,” which appears on Red (Taylor’s Version). Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien star in the project. Watch it below.

Swift’s extended version of the song has long been a part of her career lore, after she’d spoken about it in a 2012 interview. She’ll appear as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this week with host Jonathan Majors, following two other late-night appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night With Seth Meyers discussing Red (Taylor’s Version).

“Let’s have a celebration! You’re here, after all.” Gravitas Ventures has unveiled a trailer for the indie film Home, marking the feature directorial debut of German actress Franka Potente. This first premiered at the 2020 Rome Film Festival last year, and is arriving on VOD starting in December this year. The film tells the story of Marvin Hacks coming home after more than 17 years in prison, who will soon find out that, even after two decades, his small American hometown has not forgotten the atrocity he committed. Despite the confrontation and hostility from the locals, Marvin will do what it takes to win back his place in society. It stars Jake McLaughlin as Marvin, along with Kathy Bates, Aisling Franciosi, Derek Richardson, James Jordan, Lil Rel Howery, and Stephen Root. It looks better than most films with this story, but it does just seem like yet another “ex-con returns home” film that we’ve already seen so many times before.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Franka Potente’s Home, direct from YouTube:

Marvin Hacks (Jake McLaughlin) is skateboarding home after spending seventeen years in prison in the same Adidas tracksuit he was wearing when he was arrested as a teenager. He quickly finds out that, even after two decades, his small hometown has not forgotten the atrocity he committed, but Marvin wants to come to make peace with his mother (Kathy Bates) and is prepared to accept the repercussions of his past, whatever the cost. Home is both written and directed by German actress / filmmaker Franka Potente, making her feature directorial debut after directing one other short film previously. It’s produced by Jonas Katzenstein and Maximilian Leo. This initially premiered at the 2020 Rome Film Festival last year. Gravitas Ventures will debut Potente’s Home in select US theaters + on VOD starting December 3rd, 2021 this fall.

He said that the country belongs to the poor, farmers, small shopkeepers, only these people can give employment to this country. Adani-Ambani have a place but they cannot create jobs on a large scale. Small business people, farmers can generate large scale employment.

Before Rahul, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also addressed the gathering and attacked the policies of the central government and the BJP.

She termed the central government as the government of lies, greed and loot.

I know how roads are being built in Goa just for the sake of transportation of coals to benefit one industrialist, she said and termed Modi as Paryatak PM.

“Modiji travelled throughout the world but did not go to farmers who were protesting on the roads,” she said adding that “the state in which I work spends crores of rupees on advertisement but does not spend on fertilisers for farmers.”

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot also spoke on the occasion and said that all state governments are facing the challenge of financial crisis as the central government stays mum.

He said that Narendra Modi is one such PM who has not replied to a letter from the CM.

“This government is being run with hubris,” he added.

Alec Baldwin has told US broadcaster ABC that he did not fire the gun that killed a cinematographer on the set of the film “Rust.” 

“Well, the trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger,” Baldwin said in an interview to be aired on Thursday. The actor could be seen breaking down in tears in an excerpt released ahead of the broadcast.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died on the set of the Western

On October 21, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded on the set of the Western movie Baldwin was making near Santa Fe. Baldwin had previously called the incident a “tragic accident.”

How did live bullets end up on set?

When asked by ABC how a live round ended up on set, Baldwin said: “I have no idea. Someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property.”

Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has also said she had “no idea” why live bullets were present.

On Tuesday, investigators said an Arizona weapon rental supplier may have provided “reloaded ammunition” that matched the cartridge suspected to have contained the live round that killed Hutchins. Reloaded ammunition is made up of recycled parts, including bullets.

No charges filed

The Santa Fe Sheriff’s Department said on Wednesday that it had no comment on Baldwin’s interview statements. Investigators say it is too early to determine whether criminal charges will be filed.

Two crew members have filed civil lawsuits accusing Baldwin, the producers of the film and others on the production of negligence and lax safety protocols. Some staff had earlier complained about difficult working conditions, leading to a walk off from set.

The producers have said that they are conducting their own internal investigation.

Baldwin, who was also to star in the film, was one of the producers of the low-budget Western.

Of course, we’ve already been accused of killing the movie business. And, to be fair, we’ve done our best to hobble the theatrical experience. We are the generation that invented “Netflix and chill,” after all. We were the early adopters of streaming and binge-watching, raised in a world where DVRs radically transformed how, and how swiftly, programming could be consumed. But a new Harris Poll of 2,022 adults conducted Nov. 5-7 shows that, before the pandemic, those ages 25-to-40 were the group most likely to go to the movies.
