Marvel has continued to have its fun on Disney+ with Moon Knight currently plugging away through its six episode season. With its list of new releases for May 2022, however, Disney+ is making clear that it’s time for some more Star Wars.
The biggest title this month is undoubtedly Obi-Wan Kenobi with two episodes premiering on May 27. Ewan McGregor reprises his role from the Star Wars prequel films to portray the beloved last Jedi (for now) in the six-episode series. Details about the plot are already starting to trickle out so steer clear as best you can if you want an unspoiled experience. But if you want to know what other Star Wars characters might be cameoing, we have you covered over here.
That and the Moon Knight finale on May 4 is all she wrote for Disney’s big franchises this month. There are still some other cool options to consider.

Kirti Kulhari, who has been part of many Ott projects including "The Girl On The Train" and "Four More Shots Please", says that Ott has changed the way showbiz works. She says that for an Ott project, a big name may garner buzz initially but after that it's just the content that matters.
"If you are claiming to make content-oriented stuff, then you have to have people who do justice to it. Ott is a space where initial attraction might happen due to a popular face but at the end of it, your name is not enough. I want to see something real and valuable if I am giving my five hours to a show on Ott. Good performance is what works at the end. Rather than projects, cinema is being created in a lot of ways," she informed.
Talking about mass entertainers that feature big male superstars, Kirti says...

Mumbai, March 23 (Ians) Actress Yami Gautam, who plays a uniformed police officer in the film "Dasvi", has an interesting anecdote from her location shoot in Agra's Central Jail.
"When you enter the jail, there are some gates to cross and it is a long walk. As I would cross the path, the officers guarding the gates would salute. I used to feel thrilled and then I realised that it wasn't me they were saluting, they were saluting the uniform!" Yami tells Ians.
Yami says playing a Haryanvi cop for the first time in the film is in sync with her efforts to push herself as an actress every time.
"My whole idea of selecting a film and going ahead with it has been to be as versatile as possible, to do my homework well. For Jyoti Deswal, an Ips officer, I did take coaching to get the nuances right. You...

Mumbai, March 23 (Ians) In 2011, when Parineeti Chopra made her debut with the film Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, and followed it up with films like Ishaqzaade and Shuddh Desi Romance, few would have imagined the cute, bubbly girl in an intense role as Mira Kapoor in The Girl On The Train, or that she would one day transform into ace shuttler Saina Nehwal in the biopic Saina.
If she has managed to prove her versatility, Parineeti says she seems to have rediscovered herself.
"I feel more liberated now, I feel like I found myself again and I feel great to be myself. You see I introduced to the world through the films and the kind of characters I played in those films. Most of them were the bubbly, happy-go-lucky Punjabi girl who is a drama queen too! Those characters were entertaining and people loved me in those avatars.

New Delhi, March 23 (Ians) Actress Aditi Rao Hydari admits she is sensitive. Being thick-skinned is hard for her, despite being in an industry where criticism is part and parcel of a celebrity's life.
"People revel in comparing, pulling people down and criticising. I am very sensitive. So, the thick-skinned thing is hard for me. I feel everything. I will laugh as loudly as I cry and I am okay with that. The whole sensitive side as an actor -- I am like that as a person. So, I can have hard days and it is tough, but I feel I always try looking at the silver lining," said Aditi, who was recently seen in the digitally-released film "The Girl On The Train".
She added: "An actor's rejection is so personal. They are rejecting you. It is always you. It is so personal. It can be very difficult and it can be very heart-breaking.

Mumbai, March 17 (Ians) Actress Parineeti Chopra says her recently-released Ott film The Girl On The Train, taught her a lot. She feels the film gave her "second life" as an artiste.
"I had become a little complacent and carefree and I used to do things the same way. So it (being part of the film) was so amazing, I really feel like this was my second life, almost. I really don't want to make dramatic statements, but I do feel new again and I feel like a new version of me," she said.
Parineeti also added that being part of the film was a satisfying experience for her.
"I think school was an understatement, it was like Gurukul, it was like acting ka bootcamp for me! I had to literally unlearn everything, and in the process of that I discovered what I really liked and wanted, and my work ethic...

Mumbai, March 15 (Ians) Kirti Kulhari feels if an actor doesnt want to be stereotyped in similar roles, then he or she should be ready to refuse projects.
"You are as responsible for being typecast as the person who is typecasting you. You have to make choices that are different and learn to say no. It is not easy to say no but if you don't, you cannot complain. If you stand up for the roles you want to do, you will break out of that mould eventually," she told Ians.
Kirti has made her mark with diverse roles in series such as "Four More Shots Please!", and "Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors" as well as films such as "The Girl On The Train" and "Uri: The Surgical Strike". She says no matter the platform, typecasting happens everywhere, but she has a strict policy of never picking up similar characters.

The long-awaited Borderlands movie continues to come together at Lionsgate. Ever since Eli Roth boarded last year as director, things have been moving right along. Now, the video game adaptation has added yet another cast member in the form of Haley Bennett. However, Bennett won't be playing a character familiar to fans of the game. Instead, she will be playing a brand new character being added to the universe specifically for the movie.
According to a press release, Haley Bennett will play a new role in the Borderlands movie. Details are largely being kept under wraps beyond that but it is said she will be a "key to the past of Cate Blanchett's character, Lilith." Bennett joins an A-list cast that, aside from Blanchett as Lilith, also includes Kevin Hart as Roland, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Florian Munteanu as Krieg and Jack Black as Claptrap.

Mumbai, March 4 (Ians) Despite mixed response that "The Girl On The Train" garnered, actress Kirti Kulhari, who plays a pivotal role, is happy with the audience response to her role. She essays Inspector Dalbir Kaur Bagga, a turbaned cop in London tracking a murder, and her character comes with an important twist in the end.
"It feels great to be appreciated for this role. Getting the chance to play a cop was in itself very special. This movie offered me the opportunity to collaborate with (director) Ribhu Dasgupta, (co-actors) Parineeti Chopra and Aditi Rao Hydari. It was a creatively satisfying experience. After this movie, I feel like I am being encouraged to try different things as an actor," she tells Ians.
The film, which has Parineeti in the lead, is based on author Paula Hawkins's 2015 novel of the same name.

And the award for best 'prop'ped up performance goes to that kajal (kohl) in Parineeti Chopra's eyes. That 'train' comes second in this terribly failed attempt to Indianize the 2016 Hollywood movie of the same name, which in turn, was adapted from Paula Hawkins' bestselling novel of the same name. same same, what a shame.
Never would have imagined the amazing Parineeti Chopra, out of focus completely in her worst act, with those raccoon eyes and black nails wandering in the London 'Bollywood knows' in completely sloshed condition.

Contains major spoilers for The Girl on the Train – novel, 2015 film and 2021 film.
Paula Hawkins’ novel The Girl on the Train was a cultural phenomenon when it was published back in 2015, and a movie adaptation swiftly followed starring Emily Blunt in the lead role. Blunt plays Rachel, a depressed alcoholic who travels to London every day because she’s ashamed to tell her housemate she’s lost her job. Rachel is a blackout drunk obsessed with a couple she sees from the window of the train, but when the young woman goes missing Rachel insinuates herself into the investigation, despite having been seen in the area the night of the disappearance and having no memory of what happened.
It’s a twisty turny tale of abuse and gaslighting as well as a character study of three women whose lives are linked.

In the penultimate episode of the second season of Netflix’s “Bonding,” Pete, aka Master Carter (Brendan Scannell), delivers a stand-up comedy set that his best friend and employer-dominatrix, Tiff, aka Mistress May (Zoe Levin), says he did not have permission to share because he is not truly of the community. In the next minute, an agent in the audience calls it “a hilarious take on a world I know nothing about.” These two reactions, while diametrically opposed in emotional delivery, are ultimately saying the same thing: Pete has power and a platform to share secrets of the Bdsm world, but that comes with great responsibility because many watching and listening to him will take his word — and only his word — as gospel.
Such was the case when “Bonding” first premiered on the streamer in April 2019. Creator Rightor Doyle, who once worked as an assistant-slash-bodyguard for a dominatrix, turned some...

December turned out to be a good month for Anna Jadowska (Wild Roses), whose upcoming Mira, produced by Donten & Lacroix Films, will be given Pln 1.4 million.
