| Life of India’s Olympic hero Milkha Singh opens July 12 Posted: 28 Jun 2013 09:51 PM PDT India's 'The Flying Sikh', athlete Milkha Singh, gets the silver screen treatment with Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, releasing internationally on July 12, 2013. Milkha Singh, 82, was a world champion in the 400 metres, who infamously lost the penultimate race of his life - the 400m final at the Rome Olympics. The film explores Milkha Singh's redemption after this tragic outing, and the catharsis that came when he confronted his past. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag winds through the tumultuous India-Pakistan Partition civil war where Milkha's family were killed in violence, resulting in his homelessness, and a life of petty crime before sports entered his vision. The young Milkha builds his character by enlisting in the Indian Army, and learns some of life's most precious lessons through his teacher. The film stars India's critically acclaimed actor, producer, singer, writer, director and musician Farhan Akhtar in the lead role. He is joined by Sonam Kapoor, Aisha, Art Malik, Rebecca Breeds (Home and Away) and is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra (director of the Bafta nominated film Rang De Basanti, Delhi-6). The screenplay is by Prasoon Joshi and the soundtrack is composed by the award-winning trio, Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy. - By Subhadra Devan, June 29, 2013.  |
| Glee’ cast shakeup: 5 original cast members out Posted: 28 Jun 2013 06:06 PM PDT Fox's "Glee" is saying goodbye to several fan favorites. Original cast members Dianna Agron, Heather Morris, Mark Salling, Amber Riley and Harry Shum, Jr. won't be returning as series regulars next season, though they may make guest appearances, individuals close to the production confirmed to TheWrap. A representative for show producers, 20th Century Fox Television, declined to comment. All five actors started with the musical series back in 2009. On the last season, "Glee" saw some big changes as new students joined and several characters moved on to their lives after McKinley High. The series was partially set in New York City to accommodate new storylines for stars Lea Michele and Chris Colfer. Quinn (Agron), Puck (Salling), Mercedes (Riley) and Mike (Shum) graduated on Season 3. Heather (Morris) graduated this past season and the undercover brainiac accepted an offer to attend M.I.T. in Cambridge, Mass. In April, Fox granted an early renewal to the Ryan Murphy production for an additional two seasons. While the series still performs well on the network and reached cult status among viewers very quickly, its viewership has flagged some over its run. At its height during Season 2, "Glee" averaged 10.11 million viewers per episode versus Season 4's 8.26 million. - Reuters, June 29, 2013. |
