Charlie Sheen will open up like never before in new Netflix documentary
Los Angeles, Aug 14 (PTI) The 'Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen, who saw his career plummet over substance abuse and public breakdowns is ready to 'open up like never before" in the upcoming Netflix two-part documentary 'aka Charlie Sheen".
Releasing this September, the documentary will chronicle Sheen's own experience. It will also include the view point of actors and crew members who may have been affected by Sheen's past behaviour, Netflix announced on its website.
Sheen's former co-stars, friends, and ex-wife Denise Richards will be featured in the documentary. Also present will be former 'Two and a Half Men" co-star Jon Cryer and creator Chuck Lorre, who Sheen publicly clashed with. Sean Penn, Chris Tucker, Heidi Fleiss, Brooke Mueller and Ramon Estevez will also feature in the series.
The series will be directed by Andrew Renzi, who has developed other documentaries for the streamer in the past, including 'Pepsi, Where's My Jet" and 'Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child".
'With seven years of sobriety behind him, Sheen is able to open up like never before, tackling the rumors, scandals, and self-inflicted chaos that have always threatened to cut him down. With humor, heartbreak, and refreshing honesty, he reflects on his wildest moments and the hard lessons that followed," Netflix shared.
It was not straightforward, however, to invite Sheen, the press release revealed.
'He did not want to make a documentary," Renzi told Netflix, discussing how Sheen was apprehensive at first.
'Who better to reveal these kinds of things and to talk about these missteps? I find that to be a beautiful arc," Renzi added.
Known for 'Spin City", 'Being John Malkovich" and 'Anger Management", Sheen's career saw a downturn during his run in 'Two and a Half Men". Sheen had a prior history of drug abuse, and suffered a stroke in 1998 after an overdose.
His ex-wife Denise Richards filed for divorce in 2005 over his addiction.
After publicly conflicting with 'Two and a Half Men" creator, Sheen was dismissed from the show, and his role was reprised by 'That 70's Show" actor Ashton Kutcher.
The documentary is slated for a September 10 release on Netflix. PTI COR BK BK

Shilpa Shetty's Husband Raj Kundra Offers Kidney To Premanand Maharaj Amid Cheating Case
Last Updated: During their meeting with Maharaj, both Shilpa and Raj sought blessings and listened to his spiritual guidance. Raj Kundra and his wife Shilpa Shetty were recently seen visiting the revered spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan. Their appearance at the ashram drew attention not just for the couple's devotion, but also because it came at a time when Kundra's name surfaced in reports of allegedly cheating a businessman of Rs 60 crore. During their meeting with Maharaj, both Shilpa and Raj sought blessings and listened to his spiritual guidance. What surprised many, however, was Raj Kundra's emotional gesture, as he offered one of his kidneys to the guru in light of his health struggles. Raj Kundra's Emotional Offer to Maharaj While seated with Premanand Maharaj, the couple shared their concerns and received words of comfort. In the course of their conversation, the spiritual leader revealed that both his kidneys had failed and that he had been living with the condition for nearly a decade. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bhajan Marg Official (@bhajanmarg_official) Raj Kundra immediately expressed his admiration for the guru and made an emotional offer. He said, 'I've been following you for the past two years. I have no questions because your videos always answer any doubts or fears I have. You are an inspiration to everyone. I know about your health condition, and if I can help, one of my kidneys is yours." This unexpected statement reportedly surprised Shilpa Shetty, but Premanand Maharaj responded with gratitude. He said, 'It's enough for me that you stay happy. Until the call comes, we won't leave this world because of a kidney. But I accept your goodwill from the heart." Visit Amid Fraud Allegations While the visit to Maharaj highlighted Kundra's devotion and sincerity, it also coincided with headlines linking him and Shilpa to a massive Rs 60 crore fraud case. According to reports, the businessman involved accused the couple of cheating him, though both Raj and Shilpa have denied the claims. The two issued a statement labeling the allegations as 'baseless" and reaffirmed their faith in truth prevailing. Premanand Maharaj, known for his devotion to Lord Krishna and Radha, frequently receives visits from celebrities, including Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. His meetings often emphasize compassion, faith, and resilience in times of turmoil—making the Kundras' appearance especially timely.

Kangana Ranaut Calls Out ‘Badtameez' Male Actors In Bollywood: ‘Heroine Ko Neecha Dikhana...'
Last Updated: Kangana Ranaut reveals most male actors in Bollywood are 'badtameez.' She discusses being sidelined, facing trouble, and her journey as an outsider in the industry. Actor and politician Kangana Ranaut has never shied away from speaking her mind about Bollywood and her journey as an outsider. In an interview with Hauterrfly, Kangana called out male actors in the industry, saying most of them are 'badtameez (impolite)', but she refused to let their behaviour affect her career. Kangana Talks About Impolite Behaviour On Sets When asked if she ever faced untoward advances from male actors, Kangana responded, 'Maine zyada heroes ke saath kaam hi nahi kiya hain! Mera main concern yahi tha ki badtameez bahut hain heroes." (I haven't worked with so many heroes. My concern was that these heroes were extremely impolite.) She clarified that her concerns were not about sexual harassment alone. Kangana explained, 'Sirf main sexual tareeke se nahi bol rahi hoon. Late aana set pe, badtameeziyan karna, heroine ko neecha dikhana, sideline karna, choti van dena… mujhe kaafi trouble bhi hua ki kitne cases ye mujh pe kiye isiliye kyuki main wahape inn cheezon se main okay nahi thi jabki most girls are okay with this, toh unko laga ki isko kyu itna ghamand hain." In essence, she highlighted how male actors' general impolite behaviour—coming late, sidelining heroines, or belittling them—caused her professional trouble, as she refused to accept it like others did. Kangana's Bollywood Journey Kangana made her acting debut with Anurag Basu's Gangster in 2006, produced by Mahesh Bhatt. She went on to appear in films like Woh Lamhe (2006) and Life In a Metro (2007) before landing the milestone project Fashion (2008) directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, for which she won her first National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her career reached new heights with Queen (2014) and Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015), earning multiple accolades and establishing her as one of Bollywood's most respected actresses. Kangana has won four National Awards in total and continues to take on diverse projects. She was last seen in Emergency, a film she directed, co-produced, and wrote, further proving her versatility in the industry. Despite facing multiple challenges as an outsider, Kangana's refusal to compromise on professionalism and self-respect has made her one of Bollywood's most outspoken and admired stars.
