‘Even Ratan Tata was not married,' says Nithya Menen as she opens up on not wanting to go by the societal norms, opens up on heartbreaks: ‘It's not a central theme of my life'
Nithya Menen who is gearing up for the release of her movie 'Thalaivan Thalaivii' with Vijay Sethupathi is known for her long list of work in various languages. Nithya has done movies in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam. The actress also won a National Award recently for her film Thiruchitrambalam. In a recent interview, Nithya has opened up on not going by the norms of the society when it comes to marriage and finding a soulmate. She said that while it happens, it's okay but it's no longer the central theme of her life. She also spoke about the fact that it's not as important to get married as the society projects it to be. She shared, 'The idea of love evolved for me through the years; it's not a central theme of my life. When I was younger, it was so important to me to find my soulmate. Family, parents and society make you feel like it's inevitable. I've understood now that you can live a different life. Otherwise, you feel like a failure. It's impossible for everybody to find love and get married. Ratan Tata was not married. If it happens, great. If it doesn't happen, also great. It doesn't give me grief' Thus, reflecting on the idea of marriage, Nithya shared that while elders often advocate it for practical reasons, she doesn't believe it deserves any moral pedestal. She added that she's always been naturally solitary — the thought of being alone never unsettled her; in fact, she's always found comfort in her own company. Thus, she emphasised on the fact that one can have a fulfilling life, outside of romantic relationships as well. Nithya also spoke about heartbreaks in this interview. She opened up on it and said, 'I am so happy that life is an open path now. Every set notion has broken for me, freeing me up to live life. Everything is great and wonderful only when it's for a good reason. I've been heartbroken every single time. It's obviously why I am not with someone right now. All of that only teaches you about people's intentions. You realise what you're searching itself is wrong, you have to leave it. ' 'Thalaivan Thalaivii' is set to release in theatres on July 25. The film chronicles the highs and lows of a marriage beginning with love but spiraling into chaos.

Ashwath Bhatt: Ashwath Bhatt: If you are a true artist, your art must reflect what is going on around you
Actor has been playing the role of Saadat Hasan Manto in the play Ek Mulaqat Manto Se for over a decade, and he believes that we have inhabited the world that the late writer lived in. The relevance, in today's life and times, is a stark reminder that Manto showed us a world that was equally, if not more, apathetic. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Imagine what Manto would say when he read about Gaza today – about lives being lost, of children dying. Nothing much has changed – in every generation, it seems like he is alive and writing about the world now. Truth is always uncomfortable and that is the reality of the world,' says Ashwath. Ahead of performing the play in the city, the Raazi actor spoke about Manto-yat, its universal appeal, his work and more. Excerpts: 'Manto's stories have universal appeal' as Saadat Hasan Manto in a still from his play. Ashwath says that reading Manto in the late 90s was a completely different experience for him. 'By then I had read Eugene O'Neill and Franz Kafka, among others, but I had never read anything so bold and strong. And I could relate it to what was going on in Kashmir at that time. Kashmir was always in the news – there was violence being reported every other day. I was extremely angry, and I could completely relate to Manto's stories and writings,' he says. While researching, Ashwath realised that nobody knew much about the perception of Manto and how he saw himself. 'And I thought this was an interesting character to play as an actor. Plus, Manto's stories have a universal appeal,' he adds. The actor explains that there are two parts to the play, set before - pre and post-partition. One is static and the other is moving. 'We all need to pay our bills and need the work' Ashwath reiterates the point that most actors in the industry make today, that the audience has evolved and has plenty of good content to choose from. 'Producers must realise that you need to give a big screen release some time before you decide to bring it to OTT platforms. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If in 20 days, a new film is on OTT, how do you expect people to go to theatres to watch a film?' he asks. The actor says that the audience does not want to compromise on content. 'People have been exposed to Turkish, Spanish, Korean, Malayalam, and a variety of content from across the world. Bollywood needs to realise that people's tastes have changed,' he says, adding, 'A friend of mine who was a typical Bollywood masala film lover consumed a variety of content during the pandemic. Today he discusses Stanley Kubrick's films with me.' Ashwath also feels that good content is a huge struggle in Bollywood. 'The corporatisation of the industry, where you have a bunch of business school graduates deciding your script and storyline in 20 minutes, cannot produce great cinema. But we all need to pay our bills and need the work. It's not that there are no good stories written. But we need passionate producers to back them,' he adds. Ashwath Bhatt in Ek Mulaqat Manto Se 'Bollywood is not pure art, it's a commercial business' While the Indian film industry is not known to make political statements on global issues, Ashwath feels even if they are not politicians, artists have to be political. 'If you are a true artist, your art must reflect what is going on in the world. You cannot be distant. You can't not be connected to what is going on in your country, in your society, in the world. Whether you are part of the system or not. Whether you have raised your voice or kept silent – everything will be written about. You are part of history,' he opines. Referring to the Iranian cinema and theatre, Ashwath shares, 'Censorship is perhaps the toughest in Iran. But they have filmmakers like Jafar Panahi and Mohsen Makhmalbaf, among others, who always find a way to be political through their work without compromising on entertainment or engagement value. That's what I call a connect, and that is art. But then, Bollywood is not pure art — it is a commercial business.' On avoiding the jingoistic tropes in commercial cinema Ashwath Bhatt as Malik in The Diplomat Ashwath has had a long run in Bollywood, playing crucial roles in films like Raazi, Mission Majnu and Kesari, among others. The actor admits that he was not ready to play the role of Malik, Director General of Pakistan's ISI, in The Diplomat, immediately after his role in IB71 (where he plays the ISI intelligence chief). 'If the director has a vision and clarity, it helps. Shivam Nair (director of The Diplomat) was clear he did not want jingoism, no bashing people from across the border. The film was based on a true story, and the brief was to keep it realistic. Initially, I was not sure and wanted to shy away from this typical trope. I had done a couple of films with similar supporting characters and did not want to go into that zone again. But Shivam convinced me. He gave me the freedom to create the character the way I wanted to, in terms of appearance, mannerisms etc, and I am glad the character stood out,' says Ashwath.

Did Fahadh Faasil decide to make Maareesan in Tamil for the ‘sake' of casting Vadivelu? Actor says ‘My only condition was…'
Fahadh Faasil is gearing up for the release of his movie Maareesan, starring alongside Vadivelu. Ahead of the film hitting big screens on July 25, 2025, the Aavesham actor reflected on reuniting with his Maamannan co-star and whether the film was originally intended to be made in Malayalam. Did Fahadh Faasil initially plan to make Maaresan in Malayalam? Talking with The Hollywood Reporter India, Fahadh Faasil said, 'Maareesan, I originally heard it as a Malayalam film. I was planning a Malayalam movie at that point, and that is when I heard this. When we got into the casting and all, I said that we needed someone like Vadivelu sir for this movie.' 'After these discussions, the producer came to us. He is already a Tamil producer and asked why we aren't making this in Tamil itself. However, my only condition was, if we were doing it in Tamil, it had to be with Vadivelu sir,' Fahadh added. Fahadh Faasil on reuniting with Vadivelu Fahadh Faasil continued his answer about his bond with Vadivelu and how the veteran actor wanted to do a comedy film together. Fafaa highlighted, 'Even though there is comedy in Maareesan, he wanted to do a typical Vadivelu-style humorous film.' The Aavesham actor underlined how he was a bit skeptical whether Vadivelu would accept the movie. However, the latter agreed to the film and offered a new shade to his acting. About Maareesan Maareesan starring Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil in the lead role is a comedy thriller film, directed by Sudheesh Sankar.
