Priyamani Opens Up On Working With Rana Daggubati And Ajay Devgn

Mumbai, Jan 17 (IANS) National Award-winning actress Priyamani who gained pan-India popularity with the multiple award-winning web series 'The Family Man', opens up on her upcoming films 'Virata Parvam' and 'Maidaan'.## She shares her experience of working with two much-loved actors - Ajay Devgn and Rana Daggubati. 'Baahubali' fame Telugu star Rana and Priyamani worked together in the film 'Virata Parvam', a Venu Udugula directorial based on a real-life incident.## Talking about working with the stars from two different film industries, Priyamani told IANS: "It is so exciting for me to work with both of them be it Ajay sir and Rana. I knew Rana for a long time and we met also socially but never worked together. Quite interestingly, in 'Virata Parvam' even though I am not playing the heroine of the film, I am playing a pivotal part.## "The story is set in the '90s and it is about a Naxal movement. There are actions, interesting turns of event and shows a socio-political chapter of that time, which is a reality too. Both of us are playing Naxals in the film and I am his second in command. Also, it was quite interesting that we shot this film, after 'Baahubali'. So it was a huge physical transformation that Rana went through because we all know how huge he became physically during the shoot of Baahubali! Since we had to speak a different dialect of Telugu in the film, we had a lot of rehearsals. I am also looking forward to seeing how the audience reacts to that".## The actress is also playing the wife of Syed Abdul Rahim, the coach, and manager of the Indian national football team in the film 'Maidaan' and according to her, since the story of the film is set in a different era the world of that story was very different.## "This is a film I can't wait for it to release because it's filled with cute moments between Syed Abdul Rahim and his wife. Of course, Ajay sir is playing Rahim saab and it shows how his wife was his emotional support throughout the journey. As the story is set in Hyderabad, we spoke in Hindi with a Hyderabadi accent...It is in the '50s era and there was an age gap between Rahim saab and his wife. Rahim saab used to teach his wife the English language and there are some moments in the film that would melt many hearts", shared the actress.## Apart from these two films, Priyamani is working on the new season of 'The Family Man' and will be seen in the upcoming film 'Bhamakalapam' that will be released on Telugu OTT platform Aha.## Stay tuned...

Maharaj Ji was one of them".## Seeing Pandit Birju Maharaj perform at the Kathak Kendra or on the Bahawalpur House (NSD) lawns was a "magical experience" for the young actor, who now remembers picking up the finer points of acting from the Kathak icon.## Interestingly, Subhash Ghai, in his tribute, had spoken about how Maharaj Ji conveyed a range of emotions simply through his eye movements.

Anushka Sharma Recalls Virat Kohli's Journey As Indian Cricket Captain With Heartfelt Note

Mumbai, January 16 - Actress Anushka Sharma recalled husband Virat Kohli's journey as Indian cricket team captain after he quit Test captaincy on Saturday (Jan. 15). Anushka took to Instagram and shared a heartfelt post, giving insight into Virat's glorious captaincy days and also hardships he faced during this 7-years of journey. ## "I remember the day in 2014 when you told me that you have been made the captain as MS had decided to retire from test cricket. I remember MS, you & I having a chat later that day & him joking about how quickly your beard will start turning grey. We all had a good laugh about it. Since that day, I've seen more than just your beard turning grey. I've seen growth. Immense growth. Around you & within you. And yes, I am very proud of your growth as the captain of the Indian National Cricket team & what achievements the team had under your leadership. But I'm more proud of the growth you achieved within you", the actress wrote. ## She added, "In 2014 we were so young & naive. Thinking that just good intentions, positive drive & motives can take you ahead in life. They definitely do but, not without challenges. A lot of these challenges that you faced were not always on the field. But then, this is life right? It tests you in places where you least expect it to but where you need it the most. And my love, I am so proud of you for not letting anything come in the way of your good intentions".## "You led by example & gave winning on-field every ounce of your energy to the extent that after some losses I've sat next to you with tears in your eyes, while you wondered if there's still something more you could have done. This is who you are & this is what you expected from everyone. You've been unconventional & straightforward", she continued.## "Pretense is your foe & this is what makes you great in my eyes & the eyes of your admirers. Because underneath all this were your pure, unadulterated intentions always. And not everyone will be able to truly understand that. Like I've said, truly blessed are those who tried to get to know you beneath what meets the eye", she also added. ## "You are not perfect & have your flaws but then again when did you ever try to conceal that? What you did was to always stand up for doing the right thing, the harder thing, always! You held on to nothing with greed, not even this position & I know that. Because when one holds on to something so tightly they limit themselves & you, my love, are limitless. Our daughter will see the learning of these 7 years in the father that you are to her. You did good", Anushka concluded.## View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) ## Meanwhile, on the work front, Anushka recently unveiled her look as she will essay the role of a cricketer in the Netflix film "Chakda Xpress". Directed by Prosit Roy, the film is inspired by the life of former captain of India national women's cricket team Jhulan Goswami.## Stay tuned...
