Yami Gautam was the only choice for character of Jyoti Deswal in ‘Dasvi’: Director

Tushar Jalota, the director of the recently released 'Dasvi' which stars Abhishek Bachchan in the lead, recently shared that during the casting of the film, he could only imagine actress Yami Gautam playing the part of police officer Jyoti Deswal. He said she was the first and only choice for this role. Elaborating on the same, the director said, "Jyoti is a head strong,

brave, no-nonsense and a fearless woman. She is razor-focused and is cuttingly sharp. She has steely authority, is fierce and is simply savage!! And Yami played it to the T. When we were casting for this role in 'Dasvi', I couldn't imagine anyone else other than Yami Gautam playing Jyoti Deswal." Adding further, he said that the actress completely surrenders

herself to the character that she takes up, "She is someone who completely gets absorbed by her character and thoroughly prepares for it; whether it's looking the part or mentally getting into the headspace of the character." He continued, "Apart from all the prep work, she also worked hard on her Haryanvi dialect and accent and for a moment you forget it's Yami on screen because all you can see is Jyoti Deswal, a strong, confident, no-nonsense female inspector." Describing deeper layers of the character, Tushar said, "There is a practised hardness in Jyoti, that is her stated intent, but she has softer virtues (humility, gentleness, sympathy). Yami has done all of this with so much dignity and nobility. She was definitely a great team player, a supporter for me and I believe that is the mark of a terrific actor and Yami deserves all the accolades coming her way for her performance in the film."

Pooja Hegde, who recently appeared alongside Vijay in the Tamil movie 'Beast,' is now set to dazzle in a special dance number in Anil Ravipudi's 'F3'. Pooja's song in the film was shot in Hyderabad, and the shoot was completed with Pooja's song. Before Pooja's first glimpse, Ravipudi piqued our interest by teasing us with a silhouette of Pooja, which was enough to drive the fans crazy.

This is Pooja's second special dance number, following the popular 'Jigelu Rani' in Ram Charan and Samantha-starrer 'Rangasthalam'. The film 'F3' is a sequel to 'F2', and stars Venkatesh Daggubatti, Varun Tej, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Mehreen Pirzada, which is billed as a commercial family entertainer.

Actress Kajal Pisal, currently seen in TV show 'Sirf Tum', says people should be mentally healthy to achieve a successful career in showbiz while dealing with different barriers. She says: "A career in entertainment industry is never easy. To pursue a career here one need to be ready to accept insults, partiality, body/ age shaming, sexual remarks and also discouragements. If one can happily ignore such barriers and keep working hard and flaunt their skills to win audience hearts that can only make you successful else the situation can make you fall into depression. "You may face financial crisis, stay jobless for long is a huge risk of our showbiz. One need to be strong to deal with all such circumstances." As April is celebrated as Stress Awareness Month since 1992 to

raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern stress epidemic. Kajal highlights the ways that she manages to keep herself happy. She adds: "One needs to be aware that nothing is permanent everyone experiences good and both time. Everyone in the world deals with stress, and many people have overcome stressful situations. You are not alone. "To overcome accept the situation and react in calm and composed way. I engage myself into gardening, cooking or talking with friends to keep myself happy and find a way out to overcome my problems. At times I do read spiritual lectures to find peace." Kajal is known for featuring in shows like 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain', 'Saath Nibhaana Saathiya' and 'Naagin 5', among others.

It has been a journey of almost 40 years together. I worked with him in his debut film as a leading man - 'Woh Saat Din' - where I had a small role." He shared how the film broadened his understanding of human relationships, "That film made me realise how relationships grow and evolve as with just that two-dialogue role in the film, I became his friend and a family member, for me that is the greatest gift. I remember that

I needed a shirt for my part in that film when Anil brought me a shirt and said, 'You should wear this shirt, it was worn by Rishi Kapoor in 'Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan'". Reminiscing how the 'Dil Dhadakane Do' actor has always supported him, Satish said, "Anil actually pushed his producer brother Boney Kapoor

to hire me for the part in 'Woh Saat Din'. Boney was offering me Rs 201 for the role but Anil convinced him to raise the remuneration to Rs 501. So, that's how my relationship with Anil Kapoor has been like. I'm very grateful that I got to work with him yet again in 'Thar'".
