Akshay Oberoi to play a pivotal role in psychological thriller Resident

Akshay Oberoi to play a pivotal role in psychological thriller Resident

Akshay Oberoi is spending his time in an unusual place these days — inside the mind of a man who’s losing his grip on reality. The actor, who was recently seen in the frothy world of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, has begun shooting for Resident, a psychological thriller helmed by debutant director Akash Goila. The change of worlds is a conscious decision, says Oberoi. “Resident doesn’t just rely on fear or suspense, but digs deep into the psyche of its characters. After Sunny Sanskari…, which had a different tone, I wanted to immerse myself in something intense.”  Set over one night as the protagonist enjoys a date, Resident looks at the fragile psychology of a man whose internal world begins to collapse. As part of his prep for the film, which he describes as “a chamber piece about guilt and delusion,” he isolated himself for five weeks. “My director wanted the paranoia to feel real. So, I spent a few weeks isolating myself — I stopped socialising, avoided my phone, and tried to build …

Nintendo’s Pivotal Switch 2 Launch Boosted by Trump Tariff Pause

Nintendo’s Pivotal Switch 2 Launch Boosted by Trump Tariff Pause

A pause on the most punishing US tariffs in a century hands Nintendo valuable time to prepare the momentous launch of its new console and lifts pricing pressure. For now. The 90-day reprieve on heightened tariffs for most US trading partners gives Nintendo a chance to ramp up shipments of its upcoming Switch 2 console to a market that accounts for more than a third of its sales. Roughly a third of Switch 2 units are assembled in Vietnam — which would’ve been subject to a 46 percent levy, but now only faces the 10 percent universal tariff imposed by Donald Trump’s administration — so Nintendo can focus all that production on the US and stock up as many units as possible over the next three months. That period includes the gadget’s release date of June 5. Shares in the Kyoto-based games maker jumped 10 percent at Thursday’s open in Tokyo, illustrating the importance attached to the debut. There’s no plan B for the company beyond the $450 (roughly Rs. 38,500) Switch 2, which will …

When Dustin Hoffman Berated Meryl Streep On Kramer vs. Kramer Set & Threw A Glass At Her During This Pivotal Scene

When Dustin Hoffman Berated Meryl Streep On Kramer vs. Kramer Set & Threw A Glass At Her During This Pivotal Scene

Throwback To Dustin Hoffman & Meryl Streep’s Heated Exchange On Kramer vs. Kramer Set (Photo Credit – Prime Video/Youtube) Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep may’ve given us Oscar-worthy performances in Kramer vs. Kramer, but things were far from picture-perfect behind the scenes. Hoffman took his role a little too seriously, so much so that he allegedly berated Streep, threw a glass at her, and even slapped her during an unscripted moment. According to Erin Carlson’s book Queen Meryl, the trouble started early. On only the second day of filming, Hoffman slapped Streep during a scene where Joanna (Streep) leaves her husband, Ted (Hoffman). Streep later recalled, “He slammed me in the face,” leaving red finger marks on her cheek (reported by CheatSheet). Director Robert Benton was reportedly shocked, but the scene continued. Streep, despite her anger, didn’t let it derail her performance. That wasn’t the only time Dustin Hoffman’s method acting went too far. During the pivotal restaurant scene, where Joanna told Ted she was seeking custody of their son, Meryl Streep suggested changing the …
