25 years of Chachi 420: Kamal Haasan film is a lesson on how not to mock a man playing a woman, and still be funny
Kamal Hassan looked convincing as Lakshmi Godbole in Chachi 420. Cross-dressing of men as women in movies or TV shows is a time-tested trope when you are looking for some easy laughs.

Antonio Banderas says heart attack changed his life
‘The Mask of Zorro’ star was 56 when he was rushed to hospital in 2017 after suffering a cardiac event and he later underwent surgery to have three stents implanted into his coronary arteries – and he now credits his brush with death with giving him the chance to change his life for the better.

As his diary looked increasingly free, his odds of taking over as the next Bond only strengthened. However, his currently 2-1 odds have now been matched a young pretender who has a clear advantage in the one criterion the Bond producers have said is critical for Daniel Craig’s replacement.
