She added, “To play Lord Rama, you need to have that aura and grace. When you walk on set, you need to have that energy about you that makes people look at you no matter what. And Ranbir Kapoor carried that. He had this energy and aura about him. Even when we were not doing a scene, he was in his character, as he is an introverted guy.”

His first look as Lord Rama received mixed reactions from fans. While some praised him, others called him a misfit for the role. The original Lakshman actor, Sunil Lahri, also questioned whether audiences would accept Ranbir as Lord Rama.

The death of legendary singer Asha Bhosle on April 12 plunged the nation into mourning, with tributes pouring in from across the film and music fraternity. However, amid the grief, actor Athiya Shetty has been facing backlash on social media after she shared a picture of Lata Mangeshkar instead, while paying homage to Asha Bhosle.

The apparent mix-up did not go unnoticed, with social media users calling out the error and labelling it insensitive, sparking a wave of backlash online.

The slip-up was quickly noticed by social media users online, who called out the mix-up almost immediately. Though Athiya deleted the post shortly after, screenshots had already gone viral, fuelling widespread criticism across social media platforms. Athiya later posted a picture of Asha Bhosle to mourn her demise.

“She deleted lmao i can’t see it,” one social media user wrote, with another mentioning, “She’s never gonna live this down lmao. Her stupidity is now documented for years to come. Imagine having access to technology and still being an absolute i***t’.

“She should have kept it and uploaded a second story with Asha Bhosle’s picture and be like two legendary sisters or something lol. Its not like Lata Mangeshkar is still alive,” one comment read. One mentioned, “She definitely tried searching for an old picture to maintain the aesthetics ( sorry to say this ) instead she should have just uploaded a recent picture that doesn’t confuse a lil brain.”

“Just some d**b people. They don’t even know the industry they work in…and people expect gyaan (knowledge) from these actors… new age nepo’s are the d**b**t and worst. Can’t act either,” one wrote.

“Yaaarrrr..why do these d**b nepos even try. I mean nobody expects s**t from them. Why can’t they just keep it cute. Keep it moving. And i mean she couldn’t even type the write name in google,” one comment read.

One mentioned, “D**bness of the highest order. Would have been good if she was just mum. Looks more buffoon.”

“This is actually hilarious,” one comment read, with one reading, “This is frankly pathetic. Just goes to show she doesn’t care about her passing at all. Which is fair enough but don’t pretend like you do, it’s disrespectful”.

One social media user wrote, “Athiya Shetty Is Beauty Without Brains She posted a story with photo of Late Lata Mangeshkar instead of Late Asha Bhosle. Nepo kids just want to be relevant somehow, without hardwork or struggle and that’s why their movies flop and they make such blunders.”

“It’s really sad to see how careless people can be on serious matters. Athiya Shetty shared a photo of Lata Mangeshkar ji while mourning Asha Bhosle ji is not just a small mistake, it shows a lack of attention. The least one can do is check before posting, especially in such moments. Just post a simple condolence message if your basic knowledge is zero,” one wrote.

Asha Bhosle was known as one of the most successful singers in Hindi cinema. In her career spanning over eight decades, she has recorded songs for films and albums in several Indian languages and received awards. She was a seven-time winner of the Filmfare Best Female Playback Singer Award and a two-time winner of the National Film Award- for Dil Cheez Kya Hai from Umrao Jaan and Mera Kuch Saamaan from Ijaazat. She was also honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. She was honoured with Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian honour in the country, in 2008.

Dacre Montgomery found his role as a killer in the new ‘Faces of Death’ film relatable due to his own experiences with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He connected with the character’s meticulous nature and attention to detail, a trait he brings to all his performances. Director Daniel Goldhaber felt Montgomery’s personal connection was crucial in shaping the villain.

Dacre Montgomery is reflecting on his ‘Faces of Death’ villain role. The actor says obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was the most relatable part of the role. The Australian actor stars opposite ‘Euphoria’ star Barbie Ferreira’ in the new horror movie as Arthur, who re-creates and uploads videos of the kills shown in the titular 1978 film.

Dacre Montgomery says OCD was the most relatable part of the character

In a conversation with people, Montgomery shared that what he found most relatable about his mask- and red contact-wearing killer was his experience with OCD. “Definitely what was relatable to me about Arthur was just, honestly, the OCD,” he says. “That’s just definitely my thing. I live with that and I manage it.”Elaborating on what he found relatable about the villain, the ‘Stranger Things’ alum says, “There was a lot of that kind of fastidiousness and attention to detail that I put into all characters that I play, but he’s so methodical.”“From the time that you see him in the movie, he’s halfway to enacting his plan and he’s put a lot of thought into that,” Montgomery continues of Arthur. “And I think I could definitely relate not to working toward a murderous plot in my life, but definitely just the attention to detail thing, I felt that I connected with, yeah, huge.”

‘Faces of Death’ director feels Dacre Montgomery was the best fit for the role

‘Faces of Death’ director Daniel Goldhaber, who also co-wrote the film with Isa Mazzei, says that this overlap in Montgomery and his on-screen killer helped to carve out the character’s final form. According to the filmmaker, Arthur would have looked very different had another actor played him. “I met with a handful of people for this movie,” Goldhaber told the outlet. “As soon as I met with Dacre, I felt like it kind of just had to be him because everybody else … they approached this character they were talking about like somebody else, like this guy that they’d seen in the media. Dacre showed up and it was like, ‘Here’s all the ways that I relate to Arthur personally.’ ”‘Faces of Death,’ which also stars Charli xcx, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday and Jermaine Fowler, releases April 10.
