Re-posting it, Kangana talked about how people perceive the entertainment industry. The actor wrote, "Entertainment world is often perceived as frivolous and vain, it's not entirely untrue but people like Clint Eastwood make artists look so good, even at 95 every morning you have one single minded focus and that's where is my frame, then that is also yog, he is a yogi, happy birthday legend (smiling face emoji)."
Recently, Clint shared the details of his upcoming project and assured fans he won't be retiring anytime soon, as reported by the news agency ANI. He also criticised the ongoing trend of remakes, sequels and adaptations.
Speaking with Kurier, Clint shared that he is currently in pre-production for his next film. "There's no reason why a man can't get better with age. And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I'm not one of them," he had said.
He rose to international fame with his role as the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy of spaghetti Westerns during the mid-1960s and as antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry films throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Meanwhile, Kangana will make her debut in Hollywood with a lead role in the horror drama Blessed Be the Evil. She will star alongside Tyler Posey and Scarlet Rose Stallone in the film. The production of the film is set to begin this summer in New York. The movie will be directed by Anurag Rudra.

Jackie Chan says he understood ‘nothing' his costar Chris Tucker said during Rush Hour
Actor and filmmaker Jackie Chan has an interesting revelation about the first Rush Hour movie. During his recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, he shared his working experience in the film and the challenges he faced while shooting it. (Also read: Jackie Chan drops a bombshell! Says his father was a spy, Chan isn't his real name) Rush Hour is a 1998 cop action comedy film directed by Brett Ratner and written by Jim Kouf and Ross LaManna from a story by LaManna. It stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as mismatched police officers who are assigned to rescue a Chinese diplomat's abducted daughter. Its box office commercial success led to two sequels: Rush Hour 2 (2001) and Rush Hour 3 (2007). On talking about the film, Jackie said, "The whole movie, I don't know what Chris Tucker's saying," he added, "Not a clue," reported People. Jackie later shared that in "every shot" his dialogue was "different" because of how much he struggled to understand. "My dialogue coach sits right behind the camera," he continued. "Every scene, every shot, different dialogue." When asked if he ever shared about the challenges he faced, Chan replied, 'Yes', "I asked my dialect coach, 'What did he say?' He speaks so fast!" said Jackie. He said he ultimately learned English by listening to country music, as the songs are slower, reported People. This revelation about Rush Hour film came after Jackie opened up about his favourite films in the trilogy. "I don't know. You know what, the first one: little money, little time," said Jackie about the original 1998 movie, adding, "We shot it like, 'Go, go, go, go!' The second one: a lot of money, a lot of time. The third one: too much money, too much time." "Too much money is no good," Jackie added. On the possibility of Rush Hour 4, Jackie revealed during his December 2022 appearance at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia that he was "talking" about it, according to People. Karate Kid: Legends was released in theatres on May 30. (ANI)
