‘Salman Khan would have told me to act less': Iulia Vantur makes acting debut, shares Salman's philosophy of ‘less is better'
Deepak and Iulia an appearance on Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel as he shared that he was unsure if Iulia would agree to star in this project. Defending herself, Iulia said, 'I mean, it was a great script, and it was an honour working with you (Deepak); why would I say no?' The interviewer then mentioned that Salman Khan, who has been romantically linked with Iulia many times, also supported the film through social media and asked her if she would ever ask him for acting tips. Iulia quickly retorted, 'I think he would tell me to act less. He would tell me to not do much and that less is better.'

Deepak added and said, 'Yes, that is something Bhatt sahab (Mahesh Bhatt) also teaches you. I think Salman also comes from the school of acting. Not acting is the most difficult part of acting. Knowing when you are going overboard is the best part of the skill.' Deepak also talked about how certain roles hurt him in his career, and while he was trying to be a good friend to people in the industry, many of those films proved to be a 'trap'. He said, 'This is what our industry does; it typecasts you, and I fell in that trap. Bhatt Sahab tried to break that trap for me, but his brother Mukesh told him that 'you cannot make a film with Deepak as the lead.' It was a commercial decision, so I don't think I hold anything against him.'
Deepak has previously shared that he was in the running for the role of Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya, and that he and Salman were the two finalists zeroed down by Sooraj Barjatya. However, Sooraj chose Salman because the people in his family beleived that his image would work for the generational love story they were trying to make. 'He told me that I had performed very well, but since it was a love story, they went ahead with Salman. And I agreed with him. When he told me that women will immediately fall in love with Salman given his looks, I also accepted. I told him, 'Sir, I am hurt, but at the same time, you are right.' I was mature enough and never felt that he wronged me, I felt it was justified, so I said okay and walked back,' he shared with Bollywood Bubble.

Prithviraj Sukumaran compares his Sarzameen co-star Kajol to Mohanlal, calls her ‘a truly gifted artist…'
Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol recently made the headlines as they appeared together in the Bollywood movie Sarzameen. As the movie premiered on JioHotstar, the Kaduva actor compared his co-star to Malayalee superstar Mohanlal. What made Prithviraj consider Kajol and Mohanlal to be similar? Talking with Bollywood Bubble, Prithviraj Sukumaran said, 'Kajol is wonderful, she's a truly gifted artist. And, she is an instinctive actor. The greatest thing about collaborating with such actors is that they make the pitch for your character unpredictable.' 'It's not like you have rehearsed with them a couple of times. It also happens with Mohanlal sir. He's very instinctive as an actor. If we do 5 takes with him, each take will be different from the others. Kajol is a lot like him. She truly believes in being instinctive about her performance pitch,' he added. Prithviraj's team hits back against false rumors In recent times, reports suggested that Prithviraj claimed Lucifer 3 would be the biggest action venture in Indian cinema, even including underwater action sequences. However, the actor's team, Poffactio, has hit back against these rumors, clearing the air. The team has also criticized news portals for spreading false claims and said, 'We express our disappointment in major channels for spreading false news claiming that Prithviraj Sukumaran made statements about the L3 movie. These reports are entirely untrue.' 'It appears this misinformation originated from a fake profile ID as part of a hate campaign. We request all channels to cross-check facts before reporting and to republish corrected news to clarify the truth to the public and Prithviraj's well-wishers,' the post read. Here's the official post: About Sarzameen Sarzameen is a Hindi-language movie starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan in leading roles.

Fabiano Caruana's blunt interview slamming Freestyle Chess event deleted, then restored, claims player
Fabiano Caruana's blunt interview slamming the organisers of Freestyle Chess for allowing live audiences in the playing arena was reportedly deleted from their YouTube channel and was later restored, the player claimed on his own podcast, C Squared. Caruana had said that he was 'mostly glad' that the Las Vegas leg of the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour was over. Caruana had defeated Arjun Erigaisi to end in fifth place at the event, thus taking home $50,000 (approximately Rs 43 lakh). On his podcast C Squared, Caruana was told by Christian Chirila: 'They deleted your interview, man.' To this, Caruana replied that the organisers had put it back up on the handle. 'I don't think they had any need to to remove it in the first place. But yeah, eventually they put it back up.' Asked by Chirila if he was offended by the video being deleted, Caruana said: 'Not really, but you know, the thing is obviously they're not censoring me, right? I can speak pretty freely. I don't think their intention was to (do that). I just don't don't know why they decided to delete it. I guess to have time to discuss what to do, but you know, it usually doesn't work very well to do that. If you try to hide something, usually it tends to come out in a more… Caruana continued: 'I had some complaints which I'm sure they'll work on in the future to to do better. I don't think it really made sense to not say anything because they're going to have more events. I'm probably going to play more of their events. So, why should I not let them know that there's an issue?' But what were the complaints in Caruana's interview that the organisers deleted and then restored it? Caruana was unhappy with the fact that the spectators who were going to be in the playing hall would have access to live commentary with a few seconds delay and that they could also know via the eval bar what each player's standing was in the game happening in front of them. 'The match (against Hikaru Nakamura which he lost), I did like start to just get very annoyed at the whole tournament. I mean, it's fine to play the super long days, but I don't think it should come down to basically like outside interference. Not to make excuses, but I mean, the spectators are basically just yelling when we have five seconds each. Hikaru was was crushing me and then, you know, he probably had some mate, but it wasn't easy. He had 5 seconds. He went back with the queen. I was back in the game. And around this moment there was just like yelling. I mean like very (loud yelling). I'm not exaggerating at all. It was just screaming in the audience and you can't play with five seconds. So we both blundered. I could basically have mated him and also won his queen on two different occasions. It just leaves a bad taste,' Caruana had told the media team of Freestyle Chess after the tournament ended. Caruana said that he only found out during the players' meeting before the tournament started that audiences would have access to evaluation bar. The evaluation bar is an indicator of the match situation. 'I thought there would be some perhaps whispers that we would hear. But it was much more than that. They were just yelling and we could hear that even through headphone, even through noise-cancelling headphones and like very audibly. It wasn't some noise in the background like it was very audible,' Caruana had said.
