Has Deepika Padukone landed a better role than Priyanka Chopra in their Hollywood movies?
Both Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra are ready to make their Hollywood movie debut with “XXX: The Return of Xander Cage” and “Baywatch,” respectively. However, reports suggest that Deepika has a much more substantial role than Priyanka in their movies.
Deepika’s role in “XXX: The Return of Xander Cage” opposite Vin Diesel carries much more weight than the part that Priyanka has played in “Baywatch” alongside Dwayne Johnson. “Deepika plays Serena the girl who gives Diesel tit for tat. She is no walkover in the plot and she doesn’t play an Indian. The director allowed her to speak in the accent she wanted. She has a very substantial role in ‘XXX’. much more so than Priyanka Chopra in ‘Baywatch.’ If you notice, no leading lady opposite Dwayne Johnson ever has much to do,” SKJ Bollywood News quoted a source as saying.
While Deepika will be seen as a huntress and onscreen love interest of Vin Diesel in the movie, PeeCee will play a negative character in “Baywatch.” The report also said that Priyanka’s fans in India will be disappointed by the length of her role in the film but Deepika will appear as a “surprise” for the Hollywood audience.
“Priyanka is important but not pivotal to ‘Baywatch.’ Let’s put this way, Priyanka’s Indian fans would be disappointed by the length of her role. But her newly-acquired fan following in the West would be delighted to see her play the bad girl. Deepika in ‘XXX’ would be a surprise to the West. They haven’t seen her do anything in the US before. She will be a revelation in the West. At home, the Bollywood audiences would for once feel the West has been fair to one of their stars,” the report quoted another source as saying.
“XXX: The Return of Xander Cage” will hit the screens on Jan. 20, 2017 while “Baywatch” is slated to be released a few months later, on May 19.
9 killed; police give all-clear, say suspect dead in Munich
An 18-year-old German-Iranian man opened fire in a crowded Munich shopping mall and a nearby McDonald’s on Friday night, killing nine people and wounding 16 others before killing himself, the chief of police in the Bavarian capital said.Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae told a news conference early on Saturday that the suspect was a dual citizen from Munich and his motive was still “fully unclear.” He said it was too early to label the attack an act of terrorism; earlier police said they had no indication of Islamic extremism.
“The question of terrorism or a rampage is tied to motive, and we don’t know the motive,” Mr. Andrae said.
Police gave a “cautious all clear” in the pre-dawn hours on Saturday, more than seven hours after the attack began and brought much of the city to a standstill as all public transit systems were shut down amid a massive manhunt. They said a body found near the scene was that of the shooter and he appeared to have acted alone and killed himself as he fled.Mr. Andrae said the suspect’s body was found about two and half hours after the attack and was determined to be the shooter based on witness statements and closed circuit television footage of the attack. The shooter, whose name wasn’t released, was not previously known to police and there was no evidence of any links to terrorist organizations, he said.
“We can’t question the suspect so this is all a little more difficult,” he said.
A cell-phone video posted online showed the suspect dressed in black standing on a rooftop parking area of the mall yelling back and forth with the person filming, saying at one point “I’m German” and eventually firing shots. Mr. Andrae said police believe the video is genuine.Witnesses had reported seeing three men with firearms near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall, but the chief of police said two other people who fled the area were investigated but had “nothing to do with the incident.”The police chief said the nine fatalities included young people and children were among the 16 wounded, three of whom were in critical condition.
After gunfire broke out at the mall, one of Munich’s largest, the city sent a smartphone alert declaring an “emergency situation” and telling people to stay indoors, while all rail, subway and trolley service was halted in the city.It was the third major act of violence against civilians in Western Europe in eight days. The previous attacks, in the French resort city of Nice and on a train in Bavaria near the city of Wuerzburg, were claimed by the Islamic State group.The attack started shortly before 6 p.m. at a McDonald’s across the street from the mall, which was filled with people doing their weekend shopping. As dozens of shots rang out, terrified shoppers ran from the scene, some carrying babies and pushing strollers.
Video obtained by The Associated Press from German news agency NonstopNews showed two bodies with sheets draped over them not far from the fast food restaurant. Another video posted online showed a gunman emerging from the door of the McDonald’s, raising what appeared to be a pistol with both hands and aiming at people on the sidewalk, firing as they fled in terror.Witness Luan Zequiri said he was in the mall when the shooting began and “there was a really loud scream,” he told German broadcaster n-tv.“I looked in his direction and he shot two people on the stairs,” Zequiri said. He said he hid in a shop, then ran outside when the coast was clear and saw bodies of the dead and wounded on the ground.
Germany’s Interior Ministry said Munich police had set up a hotline for concerned citizens. Residents of Munich opened their doors to people seeking shelter using the Twitter hashtag opendoor.Germany’s interior minister cut short his holiday in the United States to go back to Berlin late onFriday to meet with security officials.German Chancellor Angela Merkel was being regularly briefed on the attack, said her chief of staff, Peter Altmaier.
“All that we know and can say right now is that it was a cruel and inhumane attack,” he said on German public channel ARD. “We can’t rule out that there are terrorist links. We can’t confirm them, but we are investigating along those lines too.”Altmaier noted that Friday was the fifth anniversary of the massacre in Oslo, Norway, by a far-right extremist who killed 77 people, 69 of them at a youth summer camp.
“You can only have absolute security in an absolute surveillance state, and nobody wants that, it would be the opposite of our free western European way of life,” he said. “But, and this became clear again today, we can’t talk down this danger. It’s a danger that many countries are exposed, especially in the west, and that’s why it’s important to give our security agencies the instruments they need.”
In the U.S., President Barack Obama pledged to provide Germany with whatever help it might need to investigate the mall shooting.
Facebook’s Aquila takes off
After revealing that it wants to use unmanned drone airships to beam the internet down to the estimated four billion people worldwide without it two years ago, social media giant Facebook on Thursday announced the first full-scale test flight of its solar-powered craft Aquila.
“After two years of engineering, I’m proud to announce the successful first flight of Aquila — the solar-powered plane we designed to beam internet to remote parts of the world,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post.Zuckerberg added, “On June 28th, we completed the first successful flight of Aquila — our solar-powered plane that will beam internet to remote parts of the world and eventually break the record for longest unmanned aircraft flight.”
According to the post, the flight took place before dawn in Yuma, Arizona. Facebook’s original mission was to fly Aquila for 30 minutes, but things went quite well for the company and it decided to keep the plane up for 96 minutes.We gathered lots of data about our models and the aircraft structure — and after two years of development, it was emotional to see Aquila actually get off the ground, Mr. Zuckerberg noted
He said that, “Our goal is to have a fleet of Aquilas flying together at 60,000 feet, communicating with each other with lasers and staying aloft for months at a time — something that’s never been done before.”The company is working on to make the aircraft more efficient and doing necessary changes in that direction…
“Over the next year we’re going to keep testing Aquila — flying higher and longer, and adding more planes and payloads. It’s all part of our mission to connect the world and help more of the 4 billion people who are not online access all the opportunities of the internet, Mr. Zuckerberg concluded.
Pokemon pops up in Council; safety net needed, says Sena
Passionate Pokemon players may not be able to freely pounce on the Pikachus and Charmanders, if the Shiv Sena has its way. After clerics in Saudi Arabia issued a religious edict against playing Pokemon, the Shiv Sena here has demanded the widely popular mobile phone application be regulated, with some sort of guidelines on playing zones and restrictions, much on the lines of those put in place in the U.S. Japan too has issued a series of regulation urging citizens to be careful while playing the game.
The augmented reality game is leading to widespread road mishaps, with reports that distracted players have even crashed into trees, or other vehicles trying to pounce on Pokemon, the Sena leaders said in the Legislative Council on Friday.
Pokemon Go is already banned in 22 countries, and the Maharashtra government, being a progressing and developing state must protect the interests of its youth, Shiv Sena leader Neelam Ghore demanded. She pointed out several instances of mishaps while playing Pokemon Go. “In Indonesia, a boy while chasing Pokeman entered an army base. In Guatemala, two children had to face firing from unknown locations while chasing Pokemon. In Arizona, a college has given special instruction to students against playing Pokemon,” Ms. Ghore said while demanding that the State government issue regulatory notification or guidelines for playing Pokemon.
The game is popular in India and Mumbai, where gamers have downloaded the app though it is yet to be officially released.
Some gamers welcomed the move saying the Sena is right in asking for regulations and guidelines, while others said it was akin to moral policing. Andre Rodrigues, 38, a techie from Bandra, said, “This is a great game that brings people together, standing next to a poke stop. The game is only dangerous if the user is unaware of the dangers on the road. As it is, the Sena cannot ban it, since the game has not officially been launched in India.”
Others believe it to be an illogical step. An avid player of Pokemon Go, Rohan Kapoor (23), a film-editor, said the game starts with a warning asking users to stay alert of their surroundings at all times. “People also do not walk around in the dark; the screen vibrates when there are Pokemon around.”
Kabali enters Profits Zone in USA
Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kabali is just unstoppable at the Overseas Box office. The movie had break-even on the first day of its release (with Premieres) as the strategy of early premieres worked in favour of the film. The Early Premieres helped the movie minimize the effect of the negative reviews.

All is not well between Vijay and Amala Paul?
Amala Paul and director Vijay, who’ve been married for two years now, seem to be having issues in their marital life of late. It is heard that the couple is grappling with irreconcilable differences. The main reason behind the differences between the couple is said to be that Amala Paul’s next movie, which will take almost two years to complete, opposite Dhanush. Vijay doesn’t want to sign the film as it would take two years. But, Amla Paul signs on the dotted lines without the approval of Vijay. This leads to many differences between them.
A source close to Vijay and Amala Paul said, “It looks like they’re heading for a split, as the differences between them seem pretty insurmountable. Also, Amala is on a signing spree, and she has some major projects in her kitty to complete in the next few years. For the past few months, the couple has not made any appearance together in public. There are no pictures of them together on the social media either. But both have been maintaining a dignified silence about their differences so far.” However, when asked about the same in a media interaction, Vijay and Amala remain silent about the issue.
They both fell in love in 2012 while working on Deiva Thirumagal and later got married in a grand ceremony in Chennai, in 2014. On the work front, Vijay is busy directing a film Devi, which stars Tammanah and Prabhu Deva. Amala Paul is getting ready to act in Dhanush’s movie.
