Praising the efforts of 49 celebrities who have written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing their concern over mob lynching she said a strong law is needed to deal with the issue.

Her critique of 'Padmaavat' as a movie that glorifies Sati and Jauhar sparked a war of words between celebrities with some supporting her while others dismissed her point.

The success of films like "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha", "Shubh Mangal Saavdhan" and "Bareilly Ki Barfi" has proved that the box office pickings of movies is no longer dependent on larger-than-life characters, metropolitan cities and expensive international locations. Going into the heartland of the country and touching the lives of middle class youth is doing the trick, say industry insiders.

Filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari says she and her husband, "Dangal" director Nitesh Tiwari, don't carry the baggage of their success to their home.

She has done supporting roles in films like "Tanu Weds Manu", "Raanjhanaa", "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" and Swara Bhaskar, who earned accolades for her lead role in "Nil Battey Sannata", says she is happy to finally get to play the protagonist.

Actress Swara Bhaskar, who was last seen on-screen in the film "Nil Battey Sannata", says that actors are judged on the basis of their looks in Bollywood.

Swara plays Chanda, who dreams of getting her only daughter educated and later gets herself enrolled in school to complete her education.

Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari is excited about her husband Nitesh Tiwari's 'Dangal', starring Aamir Khan.

Director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari feels the word of praise from superstar Aamir Khan will help in garnering audience's attention to her debut film "Nil Battey Sannata".

'Nil Battey Sannata' will release on April 22, 2016.
