Everything you wanted to know about 2.0 but didn’t know who to ask! @shankarshanmugh has got the answers....this week on @CNNnews18

Great morning chatting with 3 of the 4 actresses starring in the remakes of Queen - @tamannaahspeaks (Telugu version), @TheParulYadav (Kannada), @MsKajalAggarwal (Tamil). They explained why they believe the story is just as relevant today as it was 5 yrs ago. Interview soon!

#Baahubali dir @ssrajamouli spoke to me abt how #coronavirus and #lockdown halted production on his new film #RRR, why he decided to release a motion poster and teaser in these times, and the social responsibility of public figures in such situations youtu.be/0ZQbty56AL4

Someday I’ll write a blog on why few things compare with meeting @TomCruise. Much like few things compare with meeting @iamsrk. Both one of a kind. Great afternoon spent chatting with the #MissionImpossibleFallout star in Paris. Interview coming soon on @CNNnews18

Hang on, did we hear that right? ‘Best Real Star Award on Social Media’. What next #StarScreenAwards? Best Actress Who Didn’t Wear Make Up For Her Role? Best Star Who Made His Own Coffee On Set? #bigfatjoke

Love these guys! No Rajkummar Rao nomination for either Newton or Trapped. Bunged him into Supporting Actor category for Bareilly. Wow. Just wow. Look at the laughable Best Film noms too!!! x.com/bollyhungama/s…

Always wanted to watch the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra perform live. Watching them do a medley of @iamsrk’s hits was more than one could’ve ever hoped for! Week is made! #IFFM2019

#ToyStory4 is just wonderful. Pixar succeeds again at infusing the familiar with the fresh. Tip for parents: please take your kids. Might inspire them to ditch the tablets and phones and play with toys instead - let their imagination grow!

Plenty plenty laughs talking about #MissionMangal and more with @taapsee @akshaykumar and @vidya_balan. Interview coming soon. Believe me when I say you don’t want to miss this one!

Why is this SHOCKING? About time the women got paid as much as men! It’s this regressive attitude that’s got to change. x.com/bollyhungama/s…

Absolutely loved speaking with the team that made one of my favorite films this year - #Mahanati. Great insightful chat with the lovely @KeerthyOfficial, producers @SwapnaDuttCh & Priyanka Dutt, and director @nagashwin7, at the @IFFMelb today

Very proud of my colleagues who have come together to form the #EntJournalistsGuild. It’s a good time to introspect, repair, and stand up for what is right. Must set high standards for ourselves, and expect respect in return for respect given.

All the best, Mr @ssrajamouli! Cannot wait. x.com/rrrmovie/statu…

Such a lovely chat, @gauravkapur. I know so little about (and have such little interest in) cricket, and yet I enjoyed every moment of this interview. Had a huge smile throughout. Such warmth and comfort and genuine love for the game both of you shared 👍👍👍

You're aging in reverse. Like Benjamin Button. Looking so much like your son Aryan here. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? x.com/iamsrk/status/…

A few candid moments from The Newcomers Roundtable. Airing this weekend on @CNNnews18

Watched #ToiletEkPremKatha trailer. Big 👍 to @akshaykumar for addressing an imp social issue in a fun, accessible way, Looking fwd to film.

On Now Showing at 8.30pm tonight on @CNNnews18, #VarunInterviewsVarun. Hilarious stuff. @Varun_dvn is not afraid of laughing at himself.

Yes boss, jab tak hai jaan & josh, kabhi alvida naa kehna! #Happy26 x.com/iamsrk/status/…

This is SO cool! Dimple Kapadia is in Christopher Nolan's new film. Congratulations (talent manager) @preena621 who championed her for this gig!

Discovered this late (very late), but totally enjoying #LittleThings on @NetflixIndia. The writing and the performances are so good; these are people we know - they speak like us, behave like us, screw up like us. So easy to see ourselves in them. Nicely done.

Rs 350 crore budget, 2 years in the making, nearly 3 hrs long....and 1 pounding headache! My thoughts on #Saaho - youtu.be/i31GZY-gcdg @CNNnews18

Ready for their close up: @ayushmannk @TripathiiPankaj @vickykaushal09 @RajkummarRao @RanveerOfficial at The Actors Roundtable 2018: this weekend on @CNNnews18

Prabhas is shy but he’s also incredibly polite and funny...if you can get him to talk! He spoke to me about his new film #Saaho, the pursuit of pan-India superstardom post #Baahubali, his mother’s advice and concerns, and those incessant marriage rumors youtu.be/ffLvZSRU5Co

Doesn't she look like a dream! #Oscars2016 @priyankachopra

Abundantly talented & v beautiful @ParineetiChopra Tabu @priyankachopra & @aliaa08 on CNN-IBN's Actresses Roundtable

Had a fun chat with the irrepressible @akshaykumar abt the 10 films that shaped his career. Given that he’s made over 135 films in 28 years, picking 10 was a mammoth task. Akshay recounted memories of making those films and revealed how they helped shape his career. Coming soon!

Not a huge fan of remixes but this new #EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga title track is just lovely. On loop all morning.

Such humility, grace & wisdom. Thank u #PowerStar @PawanKalyan for opening yr heart & home. Interview airs tomorrow!

Nice! The Hollywood Reporter names Sanya Malhotra as one of the 5 Talents to Watch at the Berlinale. She’s in Ritesh Batra’s #Photograph (with Nawazuddin Siddiqui), which screens at the festival

On The Actors Roundtable 2017, @RajkummarRao @akshaykumar @irrfank @Varun_dvn @ayushmannk talk about their influences and insecurities, explain what they’d be doing if they weren’t actors, and reveal how they approach their toughest scenes. Tonight (mon) at 10pm on @CNNnews18

Chatted with #SPYder ⭐️ @urstrulyMahesh on the possibility of entering politics, fans who troll, nepotism in the biz & working with SSR

Cant stop thinking about that 'apology' scene in #Tamasha and the Agar Tum Saath Ho number that follows. HOW good are RK & DP! #gooseflesh

If I knew how to wolf-whistle, I would. Had to watch #Raees trailer twice just to soak in everything: the imagery, the BGM, the dialogues.

Just a reminder... 2pm today on @CNNnews18

At the trailer unveiling event of #Sanju, Ranbir Kapoor on wrapping his head around the fact that his choices haven’t worked: “I keep telling myself, it’s just a bend it’s not the end.”

#Raees trailer is a throwback (in the best way) to those Salim/Javed-style 70s hits. @iamsrk, you are so mercurial. Many congrats to all.
