Revealing his connection with Cho Yi-hyun, Choo Young-woo, in a conversation with Pinkvilla, said, 'I think working on this project brought us even closer. We used to mostly have small talk, but since we spent so much time together this time, our conversations became more casual and personal, like what we ate, whether we got enough sleep, or how we were feeling."
When asked about what new things they discovered about each other while filming Head Over Heels, Choo Young-woo shared, 'I found out that Yi Hyun is extremely careful. She's the kind of person who wouldn't cross a bridge without tapping it first." He also revealed that on his phone, she is saved simply as Yi Hyun.
Later in the interview, Choo Young-woo was asked what Cho Yi-hyun might be doing if she were living a secret life outside of acting. His playful response revealed that Yi-hyun has recently been very into gaming. He joked that if she weren't an actress, she could make a great professional gamer. Taking it a step further, he even suggested a name for her gaming alter ego, Seong A, inspired by the character she plays in Head Over Heels.
When asked how he would like to meet his soulmate and if he'd risk his life for them, Choo Young-woo said that no matter how it happens, meeting someone you truly love feels like fate. And if he ever met someone like that, he believes he would be ready to risk his life for them.
As per the official synopsis, 'Park Seong-A (Cho Yi-hyun) is a high school student by day and a shamaness by night. She feels stuck in a rut until she comes across handsome transfer student Bae Gyeon-U (Choo Young-woo). Gyeon-U is exceptionally good-looking, but suffers from an unlucky fate. In Seong-A's shaman vision, Gyeon-U is upside down, indicating that his death is imminent. Seong-A falls head over heels in love for Gyeon-U and vows to save his life."
Head Over Heels, which began streaming on June 23 on Prime Video, releases new episodes every Monday and Tuesday.

Paresh Rawal slams high ticket prices and recliner seats in theaters: ‘You haven't come to a spa'
Paresh Rawal is among India's finest actors. He has been part of iconic movies like Hera Pheri, OMG and Andaz Apna Apna to name a few. Just yesterday, the actor confirmed his return to Hera Pheri 3 after earlier stepping away from the project. This news has thrilled fans who adore his character, Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. In a candid chat on Himanshu Mehta's podcast, Paresh Rawal shared his thoughts on the film industry, including his strong opinions about recliner seats in multiplexes and skyrocketing movie ticket prices. His sharp and straightforward views have already sparked a conversation on the internet. Paresh Rawal Shares Strong Opinion On Audiences Choosing Recliner Seats Inside Movie Theatres Paresh Rawal believes recliner seats are changing the way people experience films. On the podcast, he bluntly said, 'Filmein let ke nahin dekhi jaati; aise hi baithna hai toh spa mein jao ya fir mujra dekhne jao' (Movies aren't watched lying down; if you want to sit like that, go to a spa or watch a dance). He feels these seats encourage a casual, almost lazy attitude, which takes away from the focus needed to enjoy a film. Paresh argues that movies demand attention and emotional connection, not a relaxed lounge-like setting. He also pointed out that multiplexes prioritize luxury over the cinematic experience, which he finds problematic. His comments reflect his deep love for storytelling and the traditional theatre experience. Paresh Rawal Voices His Concern On High Movie Ticket Rates Beyond recliner seats, Paresh Rawal voiced his concern for high movie ticket prices. He thinks expensive tickets are pushing audiences away from theatres. Multiplexes, with their premium offerings, often charge much more than regular theatres. This makes it tough for the average moviegoer to afford a film outing. This trend is hurting the film industry, as fewer people can enjoy movies on the big screen. He's worried that the focus on luxury is sidelining the essence of good stories and shared experiences. On the podcast, he emphasized that filmmakers and theatres need to be more responsible toward audiences. They should ensure movies remain accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford pricey tickets. His views highlight a growing disconnect between multiplexes and the common viewer. Paresh Rawal's Upcoming Projects Paresh Rawal remains busy with exciting projects. His immediate next release is Nikita Roy on the 18th of July, 2025. He's part of Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan and co-starring Akshay Kumar and Wamiqa Gabbi. He's also part of Welcome to the Jungle. Additionally, fans are eagerly awaiting Hera Pheri 3. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Paresh Rawal and his upcoming movies.

Himesh Reshammiya turns reviewer for Heads Of State, calling it an 'action mixtape' with 'seeti-worthy moments.' Premieres July 2 on Prime Video. Known for his musical flair and unforgettable screen presence, Himesh Reshammiya just turned movie reviewing into an entertainment spectacle. The singer-composer-actor broke the internet with his hilariously unique take on Heads Of State, Prime Video's upcoming action-comedy starring global icons Priyanka Chopra Jonas, John Cena, and Idris Elba. In a laugh-out-loud segment titled 'Reviews-E-Reshammiya", Himesh brought his signature suroor to the film's promo, delivering his review surrounded by paparazzi, mid-song, and with witty one-liners that had fans in splits. Describing Heads Of State as an 'action mixtape" full of 'seeti-worthy moments," the rockstar couldn't help but burst into his hit number Aashiq Banaya Aapne while showering praise on the film's power-packed trio. He called John Cena and Idris Elba 'deadly dudes" and declared Priyanka Chopra's presence as the ultimate desi tadka.

The story follows U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) and British Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), whose not-so-secret rivalry is forced to take a backseat when Air Force One is shot down over enemy territory. With MI6 Agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) tasked with their protection, the three must work together to stop a global conspiracy threatening the free world. Also featuring Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, and Sarah Niles, the film blends political satire with pulse-pounding action and laugh-out-loud moments. It is set to premiere globally on July 2 on Prime Video, available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. With Himesh Reshammiya's musical blessing and a star cast that packs a punch, Heads Of State is poised to be one of the most explosive and entertaining OTT premieres of the year.
