Dear Students Teaser: Nayanthara Plays Cop, Nivin Pauly Tackles Goons In New Action-Comedy
The teaser for Dear Students starring Nayanthara and Nivin Pauly has been released. Nayanthara plays a cop, and the film involves school students.
The makers of directors George Philip Roy and Sandeep Kumar's eagerly awaited action comedy film ' Dear Students ', featuring actors Nivin Pauly and Nayanthara in the lead, on Friday released a hilarious teaser of the film, much to the delight of fans and film buffs.
Taking to his X timeline to share the link to the teaser of the film, actor Nivin Pauly wrote, ''Dear Students' official teaser is out. A film by @GeorgePhilipRoy & @Sandeepkumark1p, with the amazing #Nayanthara and a batch of newcomers as #DearStudents and I am happy to have joined the journey!"
The teaser begins with Hari (Nivin Pauly) listing the different kinds of a dish available at his bakery to Nayanthara, who he mistakes for a customer. Nayanthara tells him that she is there to discuss a personal issue with him and asks him to sit down.
Hari gets the wrong impression the moment she says personal and plonks himself right next to her. Nayanthara takes a moment to realise what has happened and then asks him with a smile and in a cynical tone,"Why did you stop with just sitting on the chair? You could've sat on my lap."
Hari gets the message as he mutters to himself 'Straight on the face!". He then turns to an elderly person standing close to the table and says, 'We need to talk something personal. Please step aside." To this, the man replies, 'We are cops."

Actress Shenaz Treasury recalls being body-shamed during Shahid Kapoor's 'Ishq Vishk': 'Was told I am too fat, my belly is sticking out and...'
The actress added, 'I was told, 'Oh, you're too fat, your belly is sticking out, you need to diet.' The other girl in the movie was so thin — they were padding her.' 'Ishq Vishk' fame and former MTV host Shenaz Treasury is now a successful and popular travel blogger and influencer on Instagram. Her recent video of why people are moving to Bali has sparked online debate. The actress said in the video, 'I pay more rent for my one bedroom apartment in Mumbai than my friend pays for her villa in Bali.' And now in an interview with ETimes, the actress recalled being body-shamed on the sets of her debut film Ishq Vishk. Shenaz said, 'In college, there was all that pressure too — you know, like Neeli neeli aankhon wali kaun hai wo — and then the director was like, 'You've got to wear green lenses, you have to be perfect, you have to look great. Oh, you don't look good in some angles; actresses are supposed to look good in all angles,' as if it was my fault.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The actress added, 'I was told, 'Oh, you're too fat, your belly is sticking out, you need to diet.' The other girl in the movie was so thin — they were padding her, putting pads on her — while they were trying to shrink me. So I was on some crazy diet. They wouldn't let me eat. It was so ridiculous. And it was so sad. Looking back, I can't believe we had to go through those things. In fact, the world we live in today is much nicer to actors and more accepting of all shapes and sizes.' What netizens said about her viral Bali video These are the comments that are coming in: Well, I can get triple times size of Home in my Hometown with half of this cost ! How is it comparable? Its a wrong compare. There are equally cheaper places in other good places in India. Bhai we work offline… so whatever the rent or cost of living.. we have ti stay in Mumbai… it's unfair to compare 2 totally different cities. How about Tokyo, new York etc. Omg I need to move to Bali - paying so much rent and just waking up to horns and pollution here.

What's cooking? The side hustle of celebrities in the food industry
The newest 'side hustle' stars are banking on isn't beauty or fashion, but food! Hollywood actor Pamela Anderson has just rolled out a limited-edition line, Pamela's Pickles, selling a few hundred jars she made herself from a recipe passed down by her great-aunt. The side hustle of celebs in the food industry(Photos: Instagram) Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has expanded her lifestyle brand As Ever (earlier American Riviera Orchard) into jams, wines, baking mixes and more. As she puts it: 'This new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish — food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday.' Back in India, actor Sanya Malhotra has turned her matcha obsession into Bree Matcha, after a holiday in Japan where she rediscovered the drink's calming energy. And actor-couple Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh also launched their plant-based meat label, Imagine. Genelia had told us, 'Our brand was born when Riteish and I, being non-vegetarian our entire life, decided to take the route of giving up animal protein. So, we put some thought into it, and it was born out of an intent to understand someone who wanted to give up animal protein and also to help them have an alternative to it.' What is fuelling this rush? Marketing specialist Kartik Shukla says food has shifted from necessity to indulgence. 'There is definitely growth there, even from a slightly glamorised POV. It's a booming business. Celebs (or their PRs) have understood it. For them, it lends a much more grounded, relatable and approachable image with food vs beauty, which still has a perception of luxury, elitism.' Chefs working closely with the celebrities agree that the personal connection is what makes celebrity-backed food brands resonate. Chef Vicky Ratnani notes, 'Food is sentimental; there is a deeper connection there. If someone launches a brand, they have to first resonate with it themself; it starts from within. You need to believe that the brand is you and an extension of you, only then you'd be able to resonate with your audience.' Chef Suvir Saran adds, 'For celebs, food business is scalable and Instagrammable, something that can live in your daily life long after the headlines fade. That makes it a compelling long-term play, especially in India, where food traditions are emotional currency and nostalgia sells.'
