Gulshan Grover reveals the secret to succeed in the film industry

Gulshan Grover has been typecast as a villain of Bollywood movies and had earned the name "Bad Man" – he played the role of villain in a number of movies of the 1980s and 1990s. However, he never worried about being slotted or typecast because he was courageous, unlike other "weak actors". He had realized early in his career that in order to succeed, one must have a recall value and must be able to stand out in a crowd.
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 1 August 2015.

In his opinion, actors are usually afraid to be typecast. But, if you are a good actor, strong and hardworking and have it in you, then success cannot elude you.
That is the gist of what he told the media at the music launch program of his upcoming film 'Chehre' – other stars in the film directed by Rohit Kaushik are Jackie Shroff, Manisha Koirala, Divya Dutta, Aarya Babbar among others.
Incidentally, in spite of being tagged as ‘Bad Man’, he has successfully played in different and positive roles in movies like 'I Am Kalam'.

Johnny Depp in a new avatar – bottle feeding a baby bat

52-year-old Johnny Depp, instead of dressing up as Jack Sparrow for a treasure hunt, as he normally does, has, this time, got into a totally new role. He has taken over the mantle of another avatar – that of bottle-feeding a baby bat. He is seen in this new role feeding his new pal who is wrapped in a green blanket with a tiny yellow bottle.

Tom Cruise holds on for dear life in ‘Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation’

Tom Cruise and his mission impossible movies appear to be inseparable – and, in his latest Rogue Nation, he can be seen dangling on the wing of an Airbus A400m for dear life. It was a stunt that he performed for the latest Mission Impossible film. He was holding on to the wing by his fingertips.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 26 July 2015.

Tom Cruise loves to do his own stunts and, in this case, he had to clutch the side of an Airbus A400M as it was moving at 185mph – it was not quite what he was expected. In fact, it took every ounce of his strength to complete. The stunt scene was filmed at RAF Wittering in Lincolnshire and it involved number of rewrites before it was approved by Airbus.
Of course, he was wearing a harness under his suit for safety and, if he had lost his grip, he would have fallen several feet before it could have saved him. Moreover, he refused to wear protective goggles and, hence, was given special contact lenses to put over his eyes.
Major portions of the movie was filmed in London and there is a strong British cast supporting the Hollywood star. They include Simon Pegg and The White Queen's Rebecca Ferguson.
Tom Cruise narrated these experiences at the UK premiere of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation at the London Imax. (Image courtesy wikimediacommons.org)
