Salman Khan hails Sushmita Sen’s performance in Aarya

Salman Khan seems mighty impressed with Sushmita Sen’s superlative performance in her recently released web-series Aarya (2020). Showering praises on his former co-star and good friend, the superstar on Saturday urged people to watch the nail-biting crime-thriller.

Khan, who has romanced Sen in such notable films as Biwi No. 1 (1999), Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge (2002) and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005), took to Twitter to share a video of himself wherein he is seen narrating some power-packed dialogues from the show. He also modifies some of his popular film dialogues and uses them to applaud Sen’s work in the web-series.

“Do welcome Aarya. Sushmita’s decision to comeback can only be good and very good,” he says in the video.

For the uninitiated, Sushmita Sen returns to the mainstream Hindi entertainment space after a huge gap of a decade. She was last seen in director Anees Bazmee’s comic-caper Thank You in 2010. Aarya, which has been directed by filmmaker Ram Madhvani, marks her much-awaited comeback. With the series, which has largely received positive response, the former Miss Universe also marks her digital debut.

Continuing his praises for Sen, Salman further says in the video, “Once I watch the first episode after that I could not resist myself from watching all. You should also watch Aarya.”

Replying to him, Sushmita writes, “I want to add another favourite dialogue “Haye mera bachcha.” Thank you, Salman Khan for the love and appreciation. It means the world to us at team Aarya. I love you!!!”

In Aarya, Sen plays the central character of a powerful and strong woman who goes all out to protect her family from the world of crime. The series has been praised for its taut screenplay, deft direction and powerful performance from the entire cast.

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
