Rajkummar Rao, who will next be seen in "Queen" with Kangana Ranaut, believes that the National Award winning actress has put her best foot forward in the film. "It was great working with Kangana. She is really grounded and she is a really sweet person. In this film, she has done a great job," Rajkummar said in an interview here Thursday. "I can say that this film is packed with Kangana's best performance till date," he added. Set to release March 7, "Queen" is directed by Vikas Bahl and also stars Lisa Haydon.
'Queen' helped in shaping my career: Lisa Haydon
Hailing from a modelling background made her put in extra efforts to convince people about her capabilities as an actor, but Lisa Haydon says that Kangana Ranaut-starrer “Queen”, in which she played the part of the bohemian single mother Vijay Laxmi, has changed her life in many ways on the career front. “My life has changed a lot post 'Queen' because that was a breakthrough film where people acknowledged my acting. It is always difficult to break preconceptions if you are coming from modelling background. I feel that you have to work harder and prove yourself if you have a successful modelling career. “All the girls have gone through this but I believe 'Queen' was the film where people took notice of me. I am very grateful as the film has changed my life in many ways on the career front,” Lisa told IANS on the sidelines of Lakme Fashion Week winter-festive 2015. The model-turned-actress, who made her acting debut with the 2010 film “Aisha”, was last seen on the big screen in “Shaukeens”. Her next film is “Houseful 3” where she will be seen sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and many more. Asked about the film, the actress said: “We haven't started shooting as yet, but yeah I am excited as I am doing comedy again and this is my favourite zone, so I am looking forward to it,” said Haydon, who is also the host of reality TV show "India's Next Top Model". The show's final episode will air in September. Talking about the show, she said: “I think lot of girls around the country have found the show completely aspirational because these are the girls who are completely raw, have no experience in fashion weeks or photoshoots before. We are putting them on the main stage. They came from smaller villages, smaller cities, smaller towns and have different backgrounds.” “India's Next Top Model” is the Indian adaptation of the extremely popular show "America's Next Top Model". The show offers its viewers experience and exploration of the world of fashion, talent and immense competition. Asked about her take on the supermodel concept in India, Lisa said: “Models don't entirely get the respect they deserve in this country because they are not like superstars on their own. Its only when they become actresses that they are considered superstars.” But she is hopeful that with this show, she is going to give a face who can work well in every sector. “In the last few years, we haven't had a girl who covers everything. I think its very hard to find a girl who is committed to business and then becomes a supermodel as they want to travel, study and do many things. But we are hopeful that we will find one with this show,” she said.
Drama queen a positive word for me: Parineeti
Actress Parineeti Chopra is seen grooving to the beats of "Drama queen" in her new movie "Hasee Toh Phasee" and she says that she takes the word very positively. "The word 'drama queen' is very positive for me, because I am like that. I am very outspoken, I talk loudly, I am always happy and smiling...I do a lot of dramas and I don't think it's a bad thing," Parineeti told reporters during a promotional conference of the film here. The 25-year-old says coming to the sets of the movie, which also features Sidharth Malhotra, was not new to her because she has always done medium budget films. "For me, to play the character was a challenge, but coming to the sets of 'Hasee Toh Phasee' was not new because I have always done medium budget films. You know, I have always done movies with restricted budget, so shooting was fine with me but the character came to me as a challenge," she said. Parineeti, who made her Bollywood debut with "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl", says she had a lot of personal pressure while shooting for the movie. "I wanted to do something different and I got this movie. The role is not like 'Ishaqzaade' or 'Shuddh Desi Romance' because in those two I played very Indian characters. This was completely different, I am off (mentally) in the movie and because of that I really had to do a lot of work" she said. "I used to try and make the dialogues easy by continuously repeating it so that it's there on my tongue and I get very depressed if I feel that I have not given my best in a shot, so that way I had a lot of personal pressure," Parineeti added. "Hasee Toh Phasee", directed by Vinil Mathew, releases Friday.

Celina Jaitley - A comedy queen?
Is Celina Jaitley going to step up the ladder to be knighted as the comedy queen this decade? Seems quite likely if one looks at her track record, especially over last few months, when each of her comedy films have done well to some degree at the box office. Though 'No Entry' last year still remains to be her biggest claim to fame, even her subsequent 'Jawani Diwani' with Emraan Hashmi raised a few chuckles and was a coverage at the box office. Later this year she was seen in 'Tom Dick and Harry' which was a neat success while her act in 'Apna Sapna Money Money' is her most polished comic act ever. With a cent percent record in each of her comic roles, she certainly deserves to be put up on the pedestal, at least when it comes to comedies. However, in each of her upcoming releases, she would be seen in a different light as none of them, whether it is 'Shakalaka Boom Boom', 'Red' or 'Hello', belong to comedy genre!
