Released way back in 2004, the erotic-drama film Julie turned out to be an instant hit at the box office. Its bold content and ample of skin-show drew a lot of audience to theatres and producers laughed all the way to the bank.
Julie remains one of the most profitable ventures of its female lead Neha Dhupia’s entire movie career. She played a girl who, plagued by circumstances beyond her control, becomes a high-profile prostitute in Mumbai after being dumped by her boyfriend. Dhupia received a positive response for her stellar performance in the movie.
Now, almost after 13 years of its release, the makers are coming up with its sequel, titled Julie 2. The film is being directed by Deepak Shivdasani, the same director who directed the original film.
Well-known South Indian actress Raani Laxmi will take the franchise forward with her even bolder and hotter avatar. She will mark her Bollywood debut with the flick. The latest poster of the thriller is out and if the first glimpse is anything to go by, the movie is definitely going to set the temperature high. The poster suggests that the new Julie will be bold, beautiful and blessed.
The teaser of the thriller film will be unveiled on August 29 on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Julie 2 is slated to release on 6th October.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
