When Suresh Gopi applauded him on set; 'J.S.K' actor Ratheesh Krishnan opens up ; says 'Mammukka made it all possible'
As the recently released film 'J.S.K – Janaki V v/s State of Kerala', headlined by
Suresh Gopi
, is getting decent reviews, a wave of attention is building around actor
Ratheesh Krishnan
, who plays a key role in the film.
Speaking to ETimes, Ratheesh opened up about a powerful experience during one of the most intense scenes, "One of the most memorable moments during the shoot of 'J.S.K' was during the courtroom scene, where I had a combination scene with Suresh Gopi sir. The first single take went well, the second one was good too, and when the third take was also approved, Suresh Gopi sir clapped. That was followed by applause from the entire set.
For a beginner like me, it was a huge boost and an unforgettable moment.'
A role that came unexpectedly
Ratheesh's role as Tony wasn't something he initially had in hand. Recalling how it came together, he said, 'My character Tony in 'J.S.K' actually came into my hands quite unexpectedly — and that's the real truth. It wasn't a role I was initially cast for. I had gone to the film's puja function and requested a role, but I was told there wasn't anything available as the roles had already been filled.

NFL or TMZ? Roger Goodell accused of exploiting Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance to boost NFL profits
Roger Goodell's embrace of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance has proven strategically lucrative (Image via IG) When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell publicly embraced Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce 's high-profile romance, it raised eyebrows across the sports world. But now, heading into the 2025 season, it's becoming increasingly clear that Goodell's instincts were spot on. The intersection of pop culture and pro football has never been more lucrative—or more visible. The Taylor Swift effect: how a pop star's presence is driving a cultural shift in football viewership Taylor Swift, a 14-time Grammy winner, was a regular fixture at Kansas City Chiefs games during the 2023 season. Whether cheering from the suite with Donna Kelce or joining Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, Taylor's attendance drew millions of fans—many of whom weren't previously NFL viewers. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell weighs in on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship #shorts Goodell welcomed this crossover, telling CBS Mornings, "They have a connection to our game and to Taylor. She is an unbelievable artist, and Travis is an unbelievable player. I think it's great for the league to have that kind of attention. So we welcome it." Why the NFL is leaning into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's growing public power Goodell's endorsement was more than just a soundbite—it was strategic. Under his leadership, the NFL's annual revenue has soared past $20 billion, and aligning the league with a global superstar like Swift only expands its reach. It's not just about selling tickets anymore—this is about capturing cultural relevance across generations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Undo Even the possibility of Swift investing in an NFL team, as Goodell hinted, shows how the league is evolving.

Isha Koppikar recalls being humiliated by South choreographer in her debut film: 'These girls come from Bollywood, they don't know anything'
Before establishing herself in Bollywood with roles in films like Shah Rukh Khan's Don and Ram Gopal Varma's Company, Isha Koppikar faced a bruising start to her acting journey in the South film industry. In a recent interview, the actor opened up about being humiliated by a choreographer during her debut Telugu film W/o V. Vara Prasad (1997), where she had appeared in a song sequence. Sharing the incident, Isha told Digital Commentary, 'It happened in South. And it was just the beginning. I already had two films. So, it was before Bollywood. When I was on the set, there was a lot of dance. You know South dance. They're not easy.' The choreographer, she recalled, publicly shamed her on set in front of the entire unit, accusing her of being a clueless Bollywood import. 'He told me in front of everyone, 'These girls come from Bollywood. They don't know anything. I don't know why they take them... If you don't know dance, then why did you come here?'' 'I cried in my van... then I called Usha ji' Isha said she was devastated by the criticism. 'I felt very bad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo I felt humiliated. I went into my make-up van and I cried.' But instead of letting the moment defeat her, she turned it into a motivator. 'I took it as a challenge. I said next time when I come to the South, I will dance very well. I will not give anyone a chance to speak like this.' Remember 'Khallas' girl Isha Koppikar? Diva clicked at airport, asks paps 'Neend nahi aati?' Determined to improve, she reached out to Saroj Khan's assistant Usha ji. 'I told Usha ji, 'I want to learn dance. You come and teach me all the songs of Saroj ji.' She took out time and came to my house in Mahim and taught me daily.' Isha trained on classic Bollywood numbers like Taal Se Taal Mila and Mujhe Rang De, which she says covered all the major moves used in the industry. How Khallas changed the game Despite all the dance training, Isha notes that ironically, her breakthrough item number Khallas in Company didn't have too much choreography. 'If you look at it, there is not much dance in Khallas, but people felt that I know how to dance. Because I had gained confidence. A lot of confidence.' She credited Khallas director Ram Gopal Varma and choreographer Ganesh Acharya for giving her the confidence to shine. 'Ramu came to me and said, 'I have made this set for you. You should feel that this is your father's set. I want such an attitude.' So I said, 'Okay. If it is my father's, then I will bring the same attitude.' And then Khallas happened and magic happened.'
