The director, who has previously helmed films like Salaam Bombay, Mississippi Masaala, Monsoon Wedding and Amelia, has adapted Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid’s novel to show a young Pakistani‘s love and subsequent disillusionment with America in the post 9/11 era.

“My film is about a young man who sees things for the first time. It was important to make this film for my son and all the 20 somethings of the world. It’s a coming-of-age story and it’s about how we all find our way but the way today is more complicated than 20 years ago.

“It is also about how we sit here and dream about America and when we go there, we are given this illusion of belonging.But do we really belong? The film raises these questions,”Nair told.

The Indian-American director, 55, says that for the first time a film has “a brown person” in the lead with Riz Ahmed, who is supported by Hollywood and Bollywood A-listers like Kate Hudson, Kiefer Sutherland, Liev Schreiber, Om Puri and Shabana Azmi.

PVR is releasing the film in India this Friday, the same day it hits theatres in Pakistan. A major part of the movie is set in Lahore, which was recreated in Delhi.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist has had a great journey since its opening at the Venice International Film Festival.

It has already released in the US and Nair said there was enormous interest in the film.

“The Bostan bombings happened two days before the release and there was enormous interest in the movie. The audience there wanted to know why someone raised in America turns against it. My film is not just about it but it opens a window that has not been opened before. It shows how we open our arms in America and then cast out at the same moment.”

The American actress wrote in an opinion piece entitled “My Medical Choice” in The New York Times that she had chosen the procedure because she carries a faulty gene that increases her risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Angelina wrote in The New York Times, “My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56.

We often speak of “Mommy’s mommy,” and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a “faulty” gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.”

Angelina revealed that doctors had told her that she carried an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, after which she decided to undergo a preventive double mastectomy.

She wrote, “On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved. During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work.

“I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer,” she added.

The actress is also grateful to her fiance Brad Pitt for standing by her and supporting her through the entire process.

The 44-year-old is reportedly getting married to actor Justin Theroux in August.

“Yoga kind of helps you prepare for everything, honestly,” eonline.com quoted her as saying.

“It’s like meditation. It sort of just allows anything that’s coming at you at the end of the day to be kind of doable,” she added.

The actress, pregnant with her second child, says she is taken care of on Mother’s day.

“What I love about Mother’s Day is Mom doesn’t have to plan it,” said the Oscar winning actress who is dating Oliver Martinez.

“I don’t know what it is. My family gets together and they get to plan the day for me, and I love that. I’m the planner and I’m the one that organises. And on Mother’s Day I get to just be taken care of.”

On whether her daughter, Nahla, is expecting a little brother or a little sister, Halle Berry admits that the family is taking a wait-and-see approach, at least for now, reports people.com.

She said: “We don’t know what we’re having. We’re having a baby, that’s for sure.”

The 27-year-old portrays Daisy Buchanan in the big-screen adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald novel The Great Gatsby and found herself in awe of the stunning costumes.

”I’ve never aspired to play a character that was beautiful. I’ve never played a character that had to be very pretty before! The costumes were beautiful,”contactmusic.com quoted Mulligan as saying.

”Like, in the first scene, I’m wearing a ball gown. In the book, I think it’s just described as a white dress but they thought it’d be fun for Daisy to wear a ball gown for no reason, in the middle of the day – just because she can.

”I was wearing millions of dollars’ worth of diamonds. I’ve never worn anything that expensive before,” she added.

The 55-year-old will be honoured with the award July 4 at Cuvillies Theatre, Munich for outstanding film and direction, said a statement.

The Prime Minister of Bavaria, the Bernhard Wicki Memorial Fund and the Umbrella Organization of the German Film Industry will also be the part of the gala.

In the invitation letter, Elisabeth Wicki Endriss, the founder of the Bernhard Wicki Memorial Fund, wrote: “‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ is an exquisite example for a high-class extraordinary film, for her attitude as a defender of enlightenment and inviolability of human dignity.

“The realism she portrays in her films to the details attains great effects – emotions, extremely breathtaking tensions, and veracity. Thank you very much for this creative powerful and moving picture which we urgent need in a world of violence, prejudice and abuse of power beyond all morality in all our societies.”

The movie is set to release on May 17 in India.

The 50-year-old Baz Luhrmann has already have worked with Leonardo DiCaprio twice before and he now wants him in his next projectas well.

“To me, Gatsby is the American Hamlet. What else could we possibly do as a follow-up ?” said Baz Luhrmann.

He said he needs to persuade Leonardo DiCaprio to take on another Shakespeare work to complete their bookish trifecta, said Hollywood Reporter.

“It’s just a dream at this point,” he added.

The Great Gatsby is slated for a release in the US on May 10 and in UK on May 16.

The 48-year-old actress suffered wardrobe malfunction while she attending the MET Ball, 2013 at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, reported Ace showbiz.

Keeping in mind the theme ‘Punk: Chaos To Couture’, Parker donned a gold Mohawk-shaped headpiece by Philip Treacy, which caught Jennifer Lawrence‘s attention.

Celebrities such as Beyonce Knowles, Taylor Swift, Kristen Stewart, Lily Collins, Kerry Washington, Christina Ricci, Claire Danes, Heidi Klum, Gwen Stefani and Kylie Minogue were also among the famous faces who channeled their inner rock stars in their punk-inspired outfits.

In spite of having a romantic relationship with a girl in the past, Lohan said she likes boys.

“I like being in a relationship with a guy,” dailystar.co.uk quoted her as saying.

But she further added: “There’s something just different about it with a woman. When I was with Ronson, I didn’t want to leave, because I didn’t want to be alone. I still love her as a person.”

The 67-year-old star got angry when the first half of her production The Audience was interrupted by a band of 25 drummers playing outside the Gielgud Theatre, reported Daily Star.

Explaining the incident, she said, “I’m afraid there were a few ‘thespian’ words used. They got a very stern royal ticking off but I have to say they were very sweet and they stopped immediately.

“I would love to track them down and invite them to see the play. I felt rotten but on the other hand they were destroying our performance so something had to be done. The drumming just slowly got louder and louder and then settled right outside the stage door.

“There was just a thin wall between drumming and the theatre so it was unbelievably loud on stage. (Co-star) Paul Ritter and I could hardly hear each other speak and the audience couldn’t hear us speak at all,” she added. The actress apologised to the audience for the disruption, and was given a standing ovation for her foul-mouthed rant.
