Akshay Kumar on Coronavirus: It all boils down to maintaining proper hygiene

We all know that Coronavirus has become a big threat to the world. It started in China has been spreading in other countries as well. Thanks to Coronavirus, even Bollywood is facing a lot of issues. The shooting schedules of some films have been changed and there have been reports of producers planning to shift the release date of their upcoming movies.

Recently, while talking to a news agency, when Akshay was asked if the Hindi film industry will be affected due to Coronavirus, the actor said, "There will be some effect but how much that is difficult to say. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said people shouldn't go to crowded places and safety measures should be taken. It all boils down to maintaining proper hygiene. One has to be very careful. We all have come down to the basic way of greeting people, that is 'namaste'.”


Akshay starrer Sooryavanshi is also slated to release this month. There were reports that the makers of the film were planning to postpone the release date, but there’s no official confirmation about the same.

A few days ago, Salman had also posted on Instagram that people should avoid shaking hands and do salam and namaste. He had posted, “Namashkaar ... hamari sabhyata mein namaste aur salaam hai! Jab #coronavirus Khatam ho jaye tab Haath milao aur gale lago.... @beingstrongindia.”

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
