Tiger, Hrithik fight on air for War
As actors Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan have been pitted against each other in YRF’s mega-action entertainer War, there are a series of massive showdowns, all huge action spectacles, which have been choreographed by four action directors from across the globe.
“When we have Hrithik taking on Tiger, the promise of the film to the audience becomes huge. We worked with four top action directors like Paul Jennings, Franz Spilhaus, SeaYoung Oh and Parvez Shaikh,” said director Siddharth Anand.
He added, “Hrithik and Tiger will be seen fighting each other on land, ocean, ice and even air.”
‘There is some spice to my character every time. I like doing things which are unexpected. In Hurdang, my character is gritty and to-the-face. She is a rebel of sorts. What I like about her is that she is as real as it can get and she has the guts to be who she is in a world where people won't let her stay that way. That's what I like about her.’

Actors Taapsee Pannu, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Nithya Menen and Kirti Kulhari will recreate the team of women which executed Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) of November 2013, in Mission Mangal.
“It's based on true events but the characters are not specific to particular scientists. There are different posts for each character. I haven't met the people who were part of the mission, but due to my science background, I am familiar with the terms and theories used in the film,” said Taapsee.
Kevin’s assault case dropped
A criminal case against Hollywood star Kevin Spacey, who was accused of groping an 18-year-old man at a Massachusetts bar in 2016, has been dropped by the prosecutors in the state.
The charges were dropped after the accuser refused to testify about a missing phone, which the defence said could prove the actor's innocence. Several sexual misconduct accusations have been made against the 59-year-old actor but this was the only one to result in a criminal case.
The accuser had said Spacey bought him alcohol and groped him at a bar on the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
