Vin Diesel happy about the success of Avengers Infinity War

Actor Vin Diesel says being a producer allowed him to be more accountable for the overall film. “Being a producer allowed me to be more accountable for the overall picture. All of our characters shine so well,” Diesel said in a statement to IANS.

“That’s a testament to wanting everyone in the cast to shine, wanting the director to be the best. I like walking away from a film and everyone in the film being applauded for doing the best work,” he added.

Diesel has backed films like Fast & Furious, The Last Witch Hunter, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, Riddick and Hitman.

At the moment, the actor is happy about the success of Avengers: Infinity War. He is the voice of Groot from the universe of Guardians of the Galaxy. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 will air in India on Star Movies on Sunday.

Talking about Avengers: Infinity War, Diesel said: “It is a really good family to be a part of and I don’t think we ever lost our sense of family. The Marvel universe was so welcoming that we just came in and felt so grateful to be there.”

As Groot, Diesel just has one line to say: “I am Groot”. The actor says it is tricky to get the emotions right.

He said: “When I came into the recording booth although you would assume that there would be only three words in that recording booth ‘I am Groot’, but there was like a 50 page document on the left side of every page was ‘I am Groot’ five to ten times on the right side was a paragraph or a sentence about what he was really trying to say, and so the game quickly became taking what he was really trying to say and distilling it down.

“It was tricky not hard but tricky and fun and challenging.”

She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies.
