Jason Isaacs admits he misjudged Patrick Schwarzenegger before bonding on 'The White Lotus' set
Actor
Jason Isaacs
revealed his idea of his 'The White Lotus' co-star
Patrick Schwarzenegger
and it turned out to be wrong.
Isaacs appeared on the latest edition of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware, during which he discussed his fellow actor, who is the son of
Arnold Schwarzenegger
and
Maria Shriver
.
"You know who I charmed up with? It's my kids. Patrick (Schwarzenegger), Sam (Nivola), Sarah Catherine (Hook), became like my kids, you know, by proxy, and I fell madly in love with them. We text each other all the time," Isaacs said of the actors who played his onscreen children.
The three are what Isaacs, who played Timothy Ratliff in the show, calls "gorgeous people," people.com.
"I didn't expect Patrick to be nice because he's the son of a famous movie star, and he's such a fabulous, grounded person.
And all three of them," said Isaacs, who noted that he also became friends with Christian Friedel and Jon Gries.
Patrick joined season 3 of 'The White Lotus' as Saxson Ratliff, the eldest child of Timothy and Victoria (Parker Posey), who works for his father's company.
"To work with (series creator) Mike White and just to be part of this project was a dream come true," he told E! News in November 2024.
"It was surreal, it was life-changing to learn amongst the other actors."

When Patrick was first announced as part of the cast for season 3, his mother, 69, couldn't help but share her excitement on Instagram, noting that "all that hard work and determination is really paying off."
"I can't wait to visit you on set ( am I allowed to visit you on set?) and can't wait to get all the spoilers from you (you will tell me, right? I am your mother after all!) Wow, wow, wow! See you at the White Lotus! #proudmomalert," added Shriver in her sweet message.

ZEE5 Movies Brings You the Haunting Tale of ‘Kaalidhar Laapata'
Are you willing to watch an emotional and gripping movie? We have landed up here with one of the best Hindi thriller movies on ZEE5, i.e. Kaalidhar Laapata for you. This wonderful story is a perfect remake of Karuppu Durai. This Madhumita-directed movie not only engages the audience till the end but also lets them guess. What is the Plot? Kaalidhar Laapata is one of the finest movies on ZEE5 that tells the story of an ageing man who escapes his family after listening to the plan for his family to abandon him. The story takes on an interesting turn when he meets a free-spirited boy named Ballu. Daivik Baghela performed the powerful role of Ballu in the movie, and he not only rescues Kaalidhar from being alone and lost but also becomes his guide and friend as well. Their friendship changes the aspects of living for Kaalidhar. Roller Coaster Ride of Emotions Kaalidhar Laapata is a roller coaster ride of emotions where the friendship of Kaalidhar and Ballu keeps on motivating Kaalidhar and changes his way of living. Ballu helped Kaalidhar in creating a bucket list of the goals that he wanted to do before his memory was lost. The things included are quite simple, like riding a motorcycle, enjoying biryani, and dancing in a wedding procession, but the joy included is quite immense. These small, happy and joyful moments bring happiness into the life of Kaalidhar. Fulfilling each goal reawakens something new in Kaalidhar. The same brings up a fleeting memory and brings up smiles and shines on his face. The cast of the Movie Kaalidhar Laapata comes up with a powerful cast that not only adds life to their character but also engages the audience till the end. Abhishek Bachchan as Kaalidhar has tried to bring a raw characterisation so that it sould appear real. He is portraying the character of a man who has lost himself and finds a reason to live after meeting Ballu. Daivik Baghela as Ballu adds a spark to the movie. Who made Kaalidhar Laapata? Kaalidhar Laapata is a wonderful movie by ZEE Studios and is co-produced with Emmay Entertainment, which brings up an emotional story with absolute mystery for the audience. It is the directorial debut of Madhumita, who is the director of its Tamil version KD as well. Madhumita has perfectly showcased her talent, her powerful direction and her way of portraying characters through this wonderful movie. Why 'Shadows' and 'Silence'? From Shadows The word Shadows in the title refers to the hidden past of Kaalidhar, and that includes his memories, his forgotten relationships and his inner pain. He, along with Ballu, goes on a day-out adventure where shadows from his past keep surfacing. It is not a crime thriller movie, but it includes an emotional sense that engages the audience till the end. To Silence The word silence in the Kaalidhar Laapata movie is all about how shadows bring up the moment of silence. Sometimes the words become too heavy and too painful that it becomes quite necessary to be silent for some time. Tone and Feel of the Film Kaalidhar Laapata is a wonderful movie that features soft lighting and close camera shots, making you feel closer to the characterisation. All of the above not only impact the storyline but also tell the feeling of confusion, sadness and small moments of joy. Whether it is about empty rooms or it's about untouched cups, every silence in the movie speaks loudly. The music of the movie also supports its story without booming and letting emotions breathe. Whether it is about the scene of eating biryani or it is about playing together, every single scene brings up a sense of nostalgia and tells about the hidden stories. Stories like Kaalidhar Laapata take their time in the world of fast-paced action and flashy stories. It lets you feel, listen and ask quietly about the different queries. The movie is quite appreciated by the audience for its slow, emotional stories and depth. The story of the movie initiates real conversations and real feelings without any hassle. Family and Abandonment The story of the Kaalidhar Laapata becomes quite interesting and engaging when the family of Kaalidhar leaves him after his memory loss. Friendship and Healing Ballu is not serving as a friend for Kaalidhar, but has emerged as a spark in the dark life of Kaalidhar. Their connection is quite strong, and simple moments like sharing food and sharing silence connect the audience more to it. Memory and Identity The Kaalidhar Laapata is a wonderful movie that is not about searching for a missing person, but it is about building a path that initiates a memory of Kaalidhar. Kaalidhar Laapata is a wonderful story of an ageing man who was being abundant by his family after his memory loss. The story is not about the things that we say out loud, but is about the relationships that hurt a lot and the relationships that care about us. It is a story of friendship and how it lightens up the life of every person.

Enjoyable unpredictability
'Why do you still listen to the radio,' asked a friend, when you can tune into playlists and podcasts available. It is almost like, you name it, and we have it. At the snap of a finger, music is available on demand. That question really made me think and what I probably like about radio is the unpredictable nature of it. You never know which song will play next and that anticipation is indeed a pleasure. I still remember the good old days of the 1980s, much before TV came into our lives. My grandfather used to play radio mostly for film music, and All India Radio, Kozhikode did a good job of mixing new releases as well as reminding us of the black & white era songs. The only other source of listening to a song was by standing outside Lakshmi Talkies, which fortunately had no soundproofing then and standing at the gates one could clearly listen to the movie dialogues as well as the songs. Of course, there were vinyl records and cassette players, but you buy only a select few for your collection. Same holds true when TV was introduced in the mid-1980s in Kerala. Which Hindi movie they would screen on a Sunday evening was something we looked forward to. There was also a regional movie slot on Doordarshan and one would wait as to which language and culture to listen and watch. Will I have Jabbar Patel's Marathi or Girish Kasaravalli's Kannada movie? Or will they pick my home language Malayalam this week. That anticipation was a source of joy for the 12-year-old in me. Then came Chitrahaar, Chitramala and the joy was waiting in anticipation of which song is next. Will they play my favourite Amitabh Bachchan song or take me to the K.L. Saigal days. Fast-forward 2025 and we live in a much predictable world. We want the food items delivered in 15 minutes, we decide which movie to watch on streaming platforms, playlists are organised based on artist and singer. But then if you look around closely, what keeps you engaged in the information age is the unpredictable nature of it! Who will win this match? Will it be Gukesh or Carlsen? Where is this movie heading? What will the climax be? Is there a surprise waiting for us? I have worked hard for the exam. But how will the question paper be? What grade and marks will I get? Will I reach the airport on time for the flight? Can I learn this musical instrument? Will I be able to master it? I could go on and on. The point is this: while we have made many things predictable for a convenient life, you will always derive pleasure from the unpredictable nature of it. So, what are you waiting for, go switch on the radio and you never know, your favourite genre is probably playing there.

Setback for Saif & family over 15,000 crore ancestral property as HC orders retrial
Saif Ali Khan (PTI photo) JABALPUR: In a setback to actor Saif Ali Khan and his family, who inherited Rs 15,000 crore properties owned by Bhopal's erstwhile rulers, Madhya Pradesh HC has set aside the trial court's verdict given over two decades ago, and ordered a retrial in the case. In its order passed on June 30, the single bench of HC of Justice Sanjay Dwivedi set aside the judgment and decree of the trial court which upheld Pataudis (Saif Ali Khan, his mother Sharmila Tagore and his two sisters Soha and Saba) to be the owners of the properties. It also directed the trial court to make all possible efforts to conclude and decide the matter within one year. Nawab Hamidullah was the last ruling Nawab of the princely state of Bhopal. He and his wife Maimoona Sultan had three daughters - Abida, Sajida and Rabia. Sajida married Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and became the Nawab Begum of Bhopal. Their son, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, former Indian cricket team skipper married Sharmila Tagore. After Nawab Hamidullah's eldest daughter Abida migrated to Pakistan, Sajida became the owner of the properties. Later, her son Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi (Tiger Pataudi, who married Sharmila Tagore) became the successor of these properties estimated to be valued at nearly Rs 15,000 crore, which were inherited by Saif Ali and his siblings.

In their pleas, they stated that the Bhopal district court's judgment and decree dated Feb 14, 2000 dismissed their suits unfairly. Their lawyers pleaded that the partition of his (Nawab's) personal property should have been done between them and defendants Saif Ali, Sharmila and 16 other heirs as per the Muslim Personal Law. The appellants opposed the defendants (Pataudis) for citing the certificate issued by the Govt of India on Jan 10, 1962 in favour of Sajida Begum as the sole successor of all the private properties. Justice Dwivedi said, "The matters are remanded back to the trial court for deciding it afresh." "And if so required, the trial court can allow the parties to lead further evidence in view of the subsequent development and changed legal position," the court ordered.
