Dakota Johnson reveals what attracted her to Celine Song's Lucy in Materialists
In director Celine Song's much-anticipated film Materialists, Dakota Johnson takes on the role of Lucy — a sharp, savvy matchmaker caught in a romantic tangle. The film follows her journey as she navigates a love triangle between her charming ex (Chris Evans) and a mysterious new suitor (Pedro Pascal), all set against the backdrop of modern romance and ambition. While promoting the film globally, Dakota opened up about what drew her to the character and the complexities that made Lucy such a compelling role. 'After I read the script, I was immediately enticed by the layered inscrutability I saw in Lucy. I was drawn to the role because it's so complex. Lucy has so many different dynamics in the film, so there's many different Lucys. She's a bit of a different person with every other character — she's sort of a chameleon in that way. And then you're wondering which of her is the truth, which I thought was just so fun to play with.' Sony Pictures Entertainment will release Materialists in cinemas across India on June 13. Recently, Johnson revealed that her father, Don Johnson, cut her off financially after high school when she decided not to attend college. Johnson recalled that her father's ultimatum was clear: attend college and receive an allowance, or pursue acting and be on her own. "I didn't get in, and my dad cut me off because I didn't go to college," Johnson said, adding, "So, I started auditioning. I think I was 19 when I did The Social Network, and then little jobs and stuff after that," as quoted by E! News. Despite struggling financially, Johnson landed roles in notable films, including 'The Social Network' and the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy. Johnson opened up about the challenges she faced while trying to make it in Hollywood. "For a couple of years, it was hard to make money," she said, adding, "There were a few times when I'd go to the market and not have money in my bank account or not be able to pay rent, and I'd have to ask my parents for help," as quoted by E! News.

Tesla secures fourth India office in Mumbai as part of expansion strategy
As part of its broader strategy to expand operations in India and build a local ecosystem for future manufacturing and supply chain activities, Tesla has leased a new commercial space in central Mumbai 's Kurla west area, marking another step in its India entry. The new premise will be utilised to set up a vehicle service center. This is Tesla's fourth commercial space in India, after its engineering facility in Pune, a registered office in Bengaluru, and a 30-seater office near Mumbai's central business district, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) secured for a year. This is also the second commercial transaction concluded by Tesla in quick succession over the past two months, reflecting its increasing focus on operational readiness in India. The US company's India arm Tesla India Motor & Energy has signed a five-year lease for the new premises in Macrotech Developers ' Lodha Industrial and Logistics Park in Kurla spanning across 24,500 sq ft. The agreement, registered in May, includes a starting monthly rent of Rs 37.53 lakh. Over the entire lease term, the company will pay more than Rs 24 crore in rent. The license period of five years starts on April 20 and the agreement includes a rent-free period of one month and ten days, with rent payments beginning on June 1, showed the documents accessed through realty data analytics firm CRE Matrix. The rent is subject to an annual escalation of 5% and Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges are set at Rs 10 per sq ft of chargeable area, with a 5% escalation applicable at the start of each financial year. This deal follows the company securing its first India showroom in BKC, marking a key milestone in its long-awaited entry to its growing EV market. This deal had set a national record in terms of lease rentals at Rs 881 per sq ft a month. ET's email query to Tesla India and the property owner Macrotech Developers remained unanswered until the time of going to press. The move assumes significance and indicates Tesla's approach to India that has shifted into high gear since February, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with Musk during his US visit. The EV giant had earlier raised concerns over steep import duties in India. Tesla's India entry has been the subject of much anticipation, particularly after recent policy tweaks by the Indian government aimed at encouraging global EV manufacturers to invest and set up manufacturing units locally. Though Tesla is yet to confirm a factory location, moves like this lease suggest groundwork is quietly underway.
