Karan Johar, playing the inquisitive host as always, touched upon Orry's rather confounding popularity and asked Orry if he remembers the first time he felt famous. To this, Orry had a rather unexpected answer. He said that there is only one person to be blamed for his popularity and that is filmmaker Boney Kapoor. FYI: Orry is also BFFs with Boney Kapoor's daughters and Bollywood stars Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. Boney Kapoor is the person to blame, if you must. Put him in the dock. Since it was his fault that I received attention for the first time. The media was clicking, clicking, clicking as I entered the gate while I was at his daughter's birthday celebration. Orry disclosed, "And Boney uncle, being the gentleman that he is, had come down to receive me." Orry went on to say, "I was so shy, I was shaking," admitting that he was terrified of the photographers during their initial encounter. "Boney uncle, they were calling my name," I informed him. He then asked, "Did you pose?" I replied that I didn't.Grabbing my wrist and throwing me in front of the press, he exclaimed, "This is Orry, this is a photo, this is mera bachcha hai."

And now I'm on Koffee, so I should write him a cheque,” as Karan Johar burst out laughing. While on the show, Orry also revealed a rather unique strategy that he and his team – who he refers to as his minions – have planned for his “brand”.I tell that story when you see me on screen and in paparazzi pages, and I read all day long, from dawn to dusk. I'm reading every review of my photos in the comments section. And everyone is saying, "Just wait, his 15 minutes are about to end, he's going to disappear." It's the fame that's getting to him. Yes, my attitude is getting out of control and yes, the fame is getting to me. I am planning my own demise even though I believe I am superior to everyone else. Now is the moment when everything that rises must also fall. The fastest star to burn out is the brightest one, he said.

Lift: Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Kevin Harts antics fall flat
The most recent addition to Netflix's collection of heist thrillers has characters that are cardboard cutouts and predictable turns.The idea behind Lift, the newest heist thriller on Netflix, is an enormous shipment of gold is supposed to be taken in midair. It sounds like an intriguing plot point. The thriller appears polished, having been filmed in some of the most picturesque places on earth, such as Venice, Switzerland, and Ireland. The film, which aims to be a suspenseful thriller, is propelled by a varied cast. However, the film, directed by F. Gary Gray, who has previously helmed films such as The Italian Job (2003) and The Fate of the Furious (2017), lacks substance and is not very compelling.Lift, a novel by Daniel Kunka, chronicles the exploits of Kevin Hart's character, professional thief Cyrus Whitaker, and his skilled gang as they attempt the ultimate heist: taking $500 million in gold from a vault on an aircraft that is hovering 40000 feet over the Alps. A group of hackers in the thriller are capable of making even the most difficult heists seem easy. That is established in a long opening scene where the group whisks away a mysterious artist and sets up a furious chase along Venice's canals. Shortly later, Whitaker is being pursued by Interpol agent Abby Gladwell (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), who approaches him with the idea of stealing the gold at the request of her senior official.The first aim is a Venice art auction. The gang at the heart of Netflix's mistrustful heist drama Lift, led by their aspirationally stoic chief, Cyrus (Kevin Hart), get ready to steal priceless works from the hands of the one percent. This squad considers themselves as a bunch of cultural Robin Hoods, consisting of proficient techies and masters of disguise. They screw the rich and support the artists while pilfering from the wealthy to fill their own coffers.Directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton), the movie opens with Cyrus waltzing toward an imposingly beautiful edifice that will host the auction. A crimson carpet delineates the route to the main entrance, as Venetians in masks move about on either side of the ropes. This opening scene makes Venice, which Gray more deftly depicted in his 2003 film The Italian Job, appear gaudy. Every surface is touched by light, as though the exposure has been fully increased.
