Johnny Depp Responds To Hollywood's Boycott Calls Against Him
Cannes, May 17 - Johnny Depp's first leading role in nearly three years, the French movie Jeanne du Barry got a 7-minute standing ovation at the 76th Cannes Film Festival.



"Jeanne du Barry", in which Depp plays King Louis XV, marks the actor's first film in three years, following his long legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp won the battle but not before losing multiple big Hollywood projects, including "Fantastic Beasts".



During the legal tussle, many Hollywood studios parted their ways from Depp though some of them now seem to be willing to work with him. During the press conference for "Jeanne du Barry" today at Cannes, Depp was asked about how he feels about Hollywood's boycott calls against him and Depp appeared to have mixed feelings about the same.



"Did I feel boycotted by Hollywood? You'd have to not have a pulse to feel like, 'No. None of this is happening. It's a weird joke'", he said (according to Variety). "When you're asked to resign from a film ("Fantastic Beasts 3") you're doing because of something that is merely a function of vowels and consonants floating in the air, yes you feel boycotted".



He continued, "I don't feel boycotted by Hollywood because I don't think about Hollywood. It's a strange, funny time where everybody would love to be able to be themselves, but they can't. They must fall in line with the person in front of them. If you want to live that life, I wish you the best".



Meanwhile, amid his displeasure with Hollywood, Depp recently signed a $20+ million deal with the French luxury fashion house, Dior. This is said to be the biggest deal ever in men's fragrance.

Malvi Malhotra: You can never guess the climax of Jenma Natchathiram

Chennai, July 19 - All it took was Oru Nodi for Malvi Malhotra to say yes to Jenma Natchathiram. Quite literally. She saw the 2023 Taman Aakshan-starrer and was impressed, and it was on the same day she signed Jenma Natchathiram, headlined by him. ## Having debuted in Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu and Punjabi projects, the horror-thriller marks Malvi's Tamil debut. "I couldn't have asked for a better role as I am there throughout the film's runtime. The story unfolds through my eyes. I play Riya, a sweet and simple girl who has ghosts scaring her in her dreams. Whether her dreams become a haunting reality or not forms the crux of the film. ## Elaborating on the film and its script, Malvi underlines, "You can never guess the film's climax. That's how intricate and layered the script is. It is gripping, and every character has an important role in it. I have not worked on this genre before. ##

Who is that Queen #sidharthshukla? #sidhearts." And Sidharth, as usual, gave credit to his mom as he wrote, "I would have never replied to that ... but cause I did for your previous one .. one more for you ..... QUEEN is the one who raised ME".## I would have never replied to that ... but cause I did for your previous one .. one more for you .....
