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.

In its application, Aakash Educational Services has sought dismissal of the petition filed by Think and Learn , owner of Byju's, on the grounds of vexatious litigation couched as an oppression and mismanagement litigation, which is not maintainable in the law. Aakash Educational Services (AESL) submitted that presence of E&Y is "imperative" in the matter, as it was not only privy but the architect of several key financial and strategic decisions taken by it.

Think and Learn has filed a Company Petition before the Bengaluru Bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) against AESL, alleging "oppression and mismanagement" in the affairs of the company under Sections 241 and 242 of the Companies Act, 2013. Think and Learn is a minority shareholder of Aakash Educational Services, which operates 316 centres throughout the country. Live Events In the company application, AESL has requested to implead and make E&Y and its partner Ajay Shah a respondent alleging "the records indicate that he helped and played a material and consistent role in advising and facilitating various parties whose interests were privileged and exclusive in a material sense". Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories "The proposed Twenty-sixth Respondent (Ajay Shah) is not only privy but the architect of several key financial and strategic decisions of the Applicant during the periods relevant to the Company Petition," it said. Shah and the team of E&Y (which is respondent no 27) always had access to all privileged and confidential information and were part of the business and strategy discussions of the Applicant Company. "In any event, since all team members, including Shah, represented E&Y, the said Respondent is being impleaded," AESL submitted, adding that "for reasons of structural and professional accountability, the presence of E&Y is imperative". AESL also alleged the Resolution Professional of Byju's, which is currently going through an insolvency resolution process, "belongs to the self-same organisation and has made no disclosure to the Tribunal about his knowledge or organisational association either in the Company Petition or before the Tribunal at the time of accepting the appointment". "This serious matter for the administration of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) requires thoughtful attention by the Tribunal," AESL submitted. It has requested the NCLT to direct the proposed respondents to file an affidavit on oath disclosing details of all transactions that Ernst & Young LLP has been involved in since 2021 till date, in relation to all related parties, including Think and Learn and GLAS Trust Company LLC. The broader legal fight centres around the governance and control of AESL, following the failed acquisition by Byju's -- which has been reeling under charges of mismanagement, and alleged misuse of company funds. Meanwhile, CrestLaw Partners, acting on behalf of Manipal Group (which holds significant stake in AESL), also approached EY, flagging the firm's involvement in advising the Manipal Group in material matters, involving tax and regulatory implications, accounting treatment among others, pertaining to AESL.
