Tamannaah Bhatia gets trolled for her ramp walk at a fashion show; netizens say she is walking like 'Undertaker'
Tamannaah Bhatia recently turned showstopper at a fashion show as she walked wearing a heavy lehenga choli which was studded with pearls. A video of the actress's ramp walk surfaced on social media and several netizens started trolling her for struggling to walk. A user commented, 'She is walking like undertaker…', whereas another one wrote 'Walking like bodyguard'. One of the netizens mocked Tamannaah by commenting, 'She walks like a man'. Meanwhile, fans showered the 'Lust Stories 2' actress with a lot of heart emojis. Meanwhile, Tamannaah Bhatia in a recent interaction opened up about the hatred that celebs face on social media from faceless people. She reportedly said, 'In this journey (in films), there comes a time for everyone, when there is a lot of hate directed towards you and inevitably on social media because it is mostly faceless people literally writing anything they feel like about you, which can be really nasty.' She added that people who troll her 'have never been on her journey, have not lived her life and have no idea about who she is' so she focuses on 'becoming who she wants to become' without worrying about what people think about her. On the work front, the actress was last seen in 'Jailer' and has projects like 'Bandra', 'Aranmanai 4' and 'Vedaa' in her kitty.For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.

"Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson were a perfect recipe for an action-comedy": Tim Story on 'The Pickup'

Tim Story knows a thing or two about bringing opposites together. From Ride Along's odd-couple cop antics to Think Like a Man's ensemble charm, the filmmaker thrives on pairing distinct personalities and letting sparks fly. With The Pickup, he's done it again — this time uniting comedy royalty Eddie Murphy with the internet's favourite, Pete Davidson . The result? A high-octane caper that blends sharp banter and a buddy dynamic that feels fresh yet timeless. As Story tells ETimes, the magic wasn't just in the script, it was in watching the duo's natural rapport spill from behind the scenes onto the big screen. We caught up with the director to talk about the casting gamble that paid off, the secret ingredients of a great buddy film, and why he still believes in the theatrical experience. Q: You brought together a legend like Eddie Murphy and paired him with Pete Davidson. What made you want to cast this unexpected duo, and how did their chemistry shape the film creatively? Tim Story: When you start with Eddie Murphy, you're looking for that perfect combination people will want to watch. Then Pete came up, and having these two SNL alums together just felt like a recipe for an action-comedy — and an amazing ride. They did not disappoint. Even watching them chat between takes was fantastic. They were genuine fans of each other, and that energy translated on screen. I figured it would be successful in terms of what we pulled off, and I'm excited for audiences to see it. Q: What makes a great buddy duo in today's cinematic landscape? And how does Eddie and Pete's dynamic in the film stand out, especially when compared to the recent success of Idris Elba and John Cena in 'Heads of State'? Tim Story: I think it'll hold up really well. We have a legend in Eddie, and I always look for the right contrast — characters and actors who can start far apart and then find their way to common ground. That's where the spark is. We've got a mix of talents that are entertaining, a story with some surprises and twists, and when you add someone like Kiki Palmer into the mix, I think we're in a very strong position. Q: You've worked across such a wide range of genres from 'CSI: Miami' to superhero blockbusters like 'The Fantastic Four'. How did that experience influence your approach to blending action and comedy in 'The Pickup'? Tim Story: Every time I choose a project, I'm looking for a challenge. At this stage in my career, I enjoy scripts that mix different genres. I grew up watching everything — horror, comedy, action, romance — so a lot of that is in my DNA. Whenever I can bring multiple genres into one project, it pushes me creatively, and I really enjoy that. Q: As a director, do you prefer theatrical releases or television or streaming releases? Tim Story: I prefer film — especially in theatres. I make comedies, and nothing beats an audience reacting together. That infectious energy is incredible to watch. I still make movies with the theatrical experience in mind, whether people ultimately see them on the big screen or streaming at home. That's where my heart is.

New policy to make Delhi a film shooting hub

New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday announced that a new film policy is being framed to position the capital as an international shooting destination. The policy will include a single-window clearance system for approving film and other shoot applications, along with comprehensive plans to develop the necessary infrastructure to transform Delhi into a global film hub. Gupta also announced that an international film festival will be organised in the city and a budget of Rs 30 crore has been earmarked for it. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Celebrating India Film Festival (CIFF) at Siri Fort Auditorium, Gupta said the govt is committed to turning Delhi into a cultural and cinematic centre. "A film policy is being shaped to establish Delhi as an international shooting destination. Applications for film and other shoots will be approved through a single-window system," she said, adding, the govt is planning to develop the film industry in the capital and provide related facilities. The event was attended by several political dignitaries and many eminent figures from the film industry.

The govt expects a surge in film shoot applications and plans to fast-track approvals to encourage filmmakers to explore Delhi's locations and stories. She said that this festival has sent out a message that Delhi is now becoming a new centre for film production and cultural expression. "With this new film policy, Delhi will no longer be known just for politics or history, but also for its culture, creativity, and cinematic appeal," she said. Gupta highlighted the irony that while Delhi is home to prestigious institutions like the National School of Drama (NSD), talent still migrates to Mumbai for opportunities. "Why should people learn acting in Delhi only to be forced to seek work in Mumbai?" she asked. The CM said the govt now aims to provide complete support for the film and television ecosystem—from shooting to post-production—within the capital. "Local artistes should not have to leave Delhi. Today's event marks a milestone in that direction," she said. Gupta added that the upcoming film festival will not only showcase films and documentaries from India and abroad but also highlight Delhi's rich cultural diversity. Hosting an international film festival in Delhi will also boost tourism, for which preparations are already underway, she said.
