raised between Paris and Rio de Janeiro Cassel is fluent in five languages and her cadence—in English at least—bears the subtle inflections of her global upbringing “Being so close and in touch with such different cultures really opens your mind,” she says “It opens your heart as well.” To Cassel curiosity is one of the greatest gifts that travel can offer Even something as simple as the willingness to try new foods says a great deal about a person’s outlook “I’ve always eaten everything,” she says “Just be open and curious.” This curiosity shapes everything in Cassel’s life from how

yellow and white diamonds; stylist’s own shirt Storytelling by way of cinema was a constant in Cassel’s childhood Her parents often showed old Italian and French films one of the most iconic Italian actresses of all time known for her portrayal of women with strong characters and one of Bellucci’s greatest inspirations “[My mother] showed me a lot of [Loren’s] films and I fell in love with the way women were portrayed in cinema,” she shares It seems natural that storytelling would be part of Cassel’s career She became a model almost by accident: she was on set at a photo shoot featuring her mother when a photographer took her picture in a Dolce & Gabbana fragrance campaign and today But despite her excitement about building narratives due in no small part to her irritation at the assumption that she would join her in her parents’ industry “I hated that people thought they knew what I was going to do when I had no idea myself “Everybody asked me if I wanted to do the same thing as my parents ‘I will never be in front of a cinematic camera I don’t want it; it’s not interesting to me.’” Above Cartier Nature Sauvage Panthère Telesma high jewellery brooch in white gold set with

comfortable in front of the camera I started opening up towards the idea of cinema,” she says The turning point came with the script for the indie film The Beautiful Summer a coming-of-age story directed by Italian filmmaker Laura Luchetti “It was like reading a long poem,” Cassel recalls “I fell in love with my character [the protagonist Amelia] And I had so much fun on set that I decided that I had to do more [acting],” adding that she is eager to explore more diverse genres and roles: “I want to try a bit of everything to discover what I’m capable of.” Her upcoming projects include Bethlehem an American biblical epic currently in production and a contemporary French film adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s novel The Phantom of the Opera enters a world steeped in tradition yet determines her own place within it The series unfolds in 1860s Sicily during the Risorgimento the movement leading to Italy’s unification whose aristocratic family grapples with shifting tides of

choice of how to live her life she [was led] in a certain direction.” The parallels between Cassel’s own life and Angelica’s story are subtle yet meaningful—both are navigating worlds shaped by expectation and both are determined to define themselves beyond inherited narratives This theme of legacy and reinvention extends beyond the screen There is an interplay between heritage and modernity in The Leopard that resonates with Cassel for which she is a global brand ambassador appearing on the front of the Singapore edition almost 15 years ago “It’s funny how my mother and I cross paths in many of the things we do,” Cassel says “It’s an honour to be a muse for this [Tatler] cover It’s fun to interpret that in my own way.” In case you missed it: Pascale Lepeu on Cartier’s legacy, the

got to see SO many amazing films! Aur aate hi bohot ummeed ke saath ticket khareed ke dekhne gayi main good old Bollywood, film lagi thi Deva. Guess karo, JUST guess karo kya hoga iss review mein aage! Lets get into it. Adapted from original screenplay by Bobby-Sanjay, Deva is the story of police officer Dev, who is angry, volatile, explosive, and very swaggy. If Kabir Singh had chosen to go to the police academy instead of medical school. He sleeps with many women, his colleagues fear him, obviously there are deep set daddy issues propelling the entire narrative. For a film that aims to be the cinematic version of the Cluedo Board Game, Deva has little to no patience or frankly interest in creating captivating, interesting characters. Very few around Dev have any inner live, dimensions to their beings are explored, resulting in no breadcrumbs for the audience to pick up in a film that wants to be a thriller. However, the swag has GOT to let-up at some point. Sharp shooter ko point out karte huye swag, maar khaate huye swag, jail ke andar swag, bister se nikalte hi swag. For a very long duration, Dev too doesnt turn into a fully realised person. He is a broody concept. The foley artists get their moments to shine in this film, every watermelon in the neighborhood probably sacrificed for those un-ending breaking bones sounds. Its impossible to keep track of who is mad at whom at what time, and who Dev is chasing after and why, but if fractures and ruptures are your jam, yeh film dekh kar February tak ka quota poora ho jaayega. If there are any attempts at social commentary in this film, they are too flimsy to be of note, or consequence. Heavy underlay music enhances the filminess of the whole shebang as the film keeps trying to take flight, never quite managing to leave the runway.

having attended their 2018 performance in Miami I can attest that there’s nothing like a roomful of people losing themselves amid the absorbing repetitions of Premal and Miten’s timeless mantras playing South Florida for the first time in seven years with a concert at the Moss Center Premal and Miten were kind enough to answer a few questions from Boca magazine in advance of their appearance later this month and did you have a musical background prior to taking this direction with your music and one of my earliest memories is him chanting the Gayatri Mantra to me as a lullaby Music was also present in my life from an early age but it wasn’t until I met Miten that it became a path of expression and devotion Miten: My background was in rock and roll—I was a singer-songwriter in the ’70s But I reached a point where it no longer fulfilled me My journey led me to India and to Osho’s ashram where I rediscovered music—not as entertainment and we found that music and mantra were our shared language How is it that your compositions can have a healing effect in the sense that a song can heal us emotionally Deva: Mantras carry an ancient vibrational quality where the sound itself holds meaning beyond words we’re tapping into a deep well of wisdom that has been carried through generations It’s not about belief—it’s about resonance and spirit respond to these sounds in ways that go beyond intellectual understanding Miten: Music has always had the power to heal—it opens the heart When you combine that with the potency of mantras We hear from people all the time who have experienced profound shifts just by listening or chanting along What’s the difference between listening (and chanting) to your music on record versus in a live setting in a theater full of people Deva: Listening to a recording is a beautiful personal experience—you can drop into a deep space within yourself But singing together in a room full of people is something else entirely we’re not just performers—we’re all part of the same meditation When hundreds or thousands of voices merge into one That’s why we call our concerts “satsang meditation gatherings” rather than performances Do you know the English translation for everything you sing we always tune into the meaning of the mantras we sing but their real power isn’t in the translation—it’s in the vibration of the sound You don’t need to intellectually understand a mantra for it to work It’s like stepping into the ocean; you don’t have to analyze the waves to feel them Miten: Words can be limiting sometimes Music and mantra go beyond language—they go straight to the heart You can feel the shift even if you don’t know why it’s happening A lot of your listeners go into something like a trance state when listening to your music do you feel like the repetition of the mantras also creates something like a hypnosis Deva: I wouldn’t call it hypnosis The repetition of the sounds allows the mind to quiet [down] we step out of the thinking mind and into pure presence it feels like the music is singing us rather than the other way around Has your experience of singing these mantras changed over time; do you approach them in different or expanded ways than you used to Mantras are alive—they reveal themselves in layers A mantra we’ve sung for decades can still surprise us taking on new meanings and depths as we evolve Miten: It’s like revisiting a sacred place—you see it differently each time Our relationship with the mantras continues to grow There has been much talk in new age and spiritual circles about the rise of the feminine in our world Does that speak to your experience as well and I feel it strongly in the mantras we sing intuition and connection—all qualities that are so needed in the world today I see it in the way people are drawn to these ancient chants in the longing for something deeper and more heart-centered We’ve lived in a world dominated by masculine energy for so long—action we’re rediscovering the power of stillness It’s not about replacing one with the other Has your experience recording and performing these mantras changed the way you think about the world it reminds me that beyond all the divisions Miten: We’re more connected than I realized and chanting mantras have dissolved the barriers I created during my day-to-day existence—identification towards countries This path of devotion has taught me that love is universal Premal and Miten perform at 4 p.m. April 27 at the Moss Center, 10950 S.W. 211th St., Cutler Bay.

I write about the entertainment industry, cinema and TV Follow AuthorMar 30, 2025, 12:01pm EDTShareSaveCommentDeva Cassel and Saul Nanni, ‘The Leopard’ The Leopard, the classic novel written by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and published in 1958, was recently adapted by Netflix as a miniseries, 62 years after Luchino Visconti’s famous adaptation for the big screen. In The Leopard, we follow the life of the Prince of Salina and his family in Sicily during the 19th century and the wars of Italian unification. This new epic adaptation has everything a historical drama needs, from magnificent locations to lavish costumes, a stellar cast, a love triangle and a sublime original soundtrack by Paolo Buonvino. Created by Tom Shankland (Rogue Heroes, The Serpent, Les Miserables), the series stars Deva Cassel, Saul Nanni, Kim Rossi Stuart and Benedetta Porcaroli, who all respectively take over Claudia Cardinal, Alain Delon, Burt Lancaster and Lucilla Morlacchi, who were the stars of the 1963 adaptation. Deva Cassel portrays Angelica, a young woman who comes from a modest social and economical background, but raised to become a fine, charismatic and powerful young woman, who will eventually marry into the Prince’s nephew, Tancredi, played by Saul Nanni. While the movie has become a cult classic, meaning that fans might be quick to draw many comparisons, I spoke with Cassel and Nanni about how creatively, they knew how to draw the line between the novel and the film, and how they wanted to bring their own unique interpretations. She added: “It was six months of shooting, but after a few weeks, you start to really embody the thoughts and the actions of the character. You understand everything that they do and why they do it. But to get there, I had conversations with Tom Shankland, and he was really able to show any actor in this series, how important it was to not focus on that we already knew, but to kind of take it as a starting point and build it up from there.” Cassel added that it was important that the characters’ backstories were explained, so that their actions and their way of thinking were justified. She said, “Working with three different directors, you were able to see all the different parts of the characters and how they evolve. You start internalizing the justification for each part of the story.” We meet Angelica at the end of the second episode, and the built-in suspense of her arrival and the consequences for the Prince’s family, when she hides behind a door, feeling anxious to be introduced to them. When she finally enters, the whole room goes silent as they are captivated by Angelica’s magnetic charisma. She added: “For me as an actress, it was just being able to show all of the different emotions and states she was going through before that specific moment, that would change the course of her life. It was about the duality between her emotions and the way she was going to hide it.” If you’re currently craving for sunshine, The Leopard might be the perfect excuse to book your summer holidays in Sicily. The series was shot in real locations only, no studios, and it truly is a spectacle to witness the beauty of the scenery. I asked the two actors which of these sets had the biggest impact on the way they were going to portray Angelica and Tancredi. She added: “Turin also had a big impact, there is a huge narrative arc for my character there.” Tancredi is part of the Redshirts, the volunteers who followed Garibaldi during the conflicts for the unification of Italy, which led Nanni to travel to many different places. He said, “For me, it would be Palermo, the old city where Tancredi was fighting for Garibaldi, the place was really important for my character, and to see Palermo being rebuilt like it was at this time, it was amazing. I always remember Piazza della Vergogna, it’s something that I will never forget.” At the end of the first episode, Tancredi rides to join Garibaldi’s army and he arrives on a breathtaking beach, as Buonvino’s music resonates in the background. Nanni added: “It was San Vito Lo Capo, one of the most famous beaches in Sicily, there were more than 400 extras I think and riding on the beach, it was just an amazing day.” Prabhu Deva’s ex–wife Ramlath has praised the actor for being a loving father to their children and added that he plays a key role in their growth. Ramlath spoke about her former husband and two sons in an interview with a Tamil online channel. Ramlath said Prabhu Deva is a great father and loves his children dearly. She also added that the father and children indulge in long conversations. Ramlath and Prabhu Deva got married in 1995. They had three sons; the eldest son passed away in 2008 after being diagnosed with cancer. Adith Deva is the youngest child. Prabhu Deva sought divorce from Ramlath after he fell in love with Nayanthara. However, Prabhu Deva and Nayathara parted ways in 2012. He married Himani, a physiotherapist during the Covid times. They have a daughter together. Ramlath added that she and the actor are still in friendly terms and take decisions together about their children. "We should have the maturity to accept whatever happens in our life. We separated due to many reasons, but, I am not angry at him. After separating, he never spoke ill about me. I would have been angry if he had spoken ill about me, but he never did,” said Ramlath. © Copyright 2025 Onmanorama. All rights reserved. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that Deva Cassel and Saul Nanni fell in love on the set of The Leopard. The Netflix series – based on the 1958 novel by the last Prince of Lampedusa, Giuseppe Tomasi – tells the story of a high society romance between their characters, Prince Tancredi Falconeri and Angelica Sedara, amid the 1860s fall of the Sicilian aristocracy. How could life not imitate art? The two actors filmed in the ballrooms and palaces of Palermo, Catania, and Syracuse, and Deva Cassel’s parents, actors Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, were heralded as the ‘golden couple of European cinema’ after their love blossomed on the set of The Apartment in 1995. The Princess Royal is no stranger to the royal re-wear, and her choice of brooch at Commonwealth Day celebrations made for a poignant nod to her mother, Queen Elizabeth And if Deva’s romantic tribute to her new beau is anything to go by we might just have found a new it-couple for the Netflix age (there’s still plenty of time for Deva and Saul to catch up to her parents’ grand total of nine co-star credits Deva Cassel as Angelica behind the scenes of the series we spent six months bringing The Leopard to life but as a love letter to this land,’ wrote the 20-year-old actress in a heartfelt Instagram post ‘It taught me more than I ever expected—about art and the incredible people I met on the way.’ who wrote of the love she found with Saul Nanni while filming The Leopard: ‘But amidst all of that I met someone who became my anchor in this journey… ‘This series isn’t just a project for me,’ she continued and a celebration of the love I found in both the land and the person who stands by my side.’ Accompanying the dedication was a photograph of the pair decked out in their fineries for a ballroom scene ‘I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of something so beautiful and important a story that speaks to the heart of change This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. And if love were to blossom anywhere, it would be on the set of The Leopard. Netflix has released a series of photos offering behind-the-scenes insight into the filming process, which saw stars such as Kim Rossi Stuart and Benedetta Porcarol join Deva and Saul in the streets and villas of Sicily. Astrid Meloni as Maria Stella with Deva Cassel as Angelica One shot shows Deva cooling herself down with a fan as she waits to film a scene dressed in a white lace ballgown, surrounded by cast and crew in what appears to be a grand cathedral. Another shows her looking the spitting image of her mother as she smoulders outside a sandstone villa alongside Saul and Benedetta (who plays Concetta, the woman scorned by Prince Tancredi after he locks eyes with Angelica).

"It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.” For compliance with applicable privacy laws: One hopes that this film is the last in the seemingly never-ending parade of South remakes. That such a contingency, post-Covid and post-OTT in particular, spells bad luck for even a good film has been proved again and again in the last two years. Among the major undeserving casualties are movies like Mili, Jersey, Sarfira and Vikram Vedha. Shahid Kapoor, whose biggest solo hit to date is Kabir Singh, a pre-Covid blockbuster, probably wants to take another gamble after Jersey (2022). Crime is always considered an audience magnet. And the actor has been talking about bold choices and varied roles. Jersey was a sports drama, after all. But it truly remains a conundrum about whether another well-made remake will bite the dust. Comparisons were rampant at the press screening itself as the original Malayalam film, Mumbai Police (2013) had been watched by many. Like Drishyam 2 (2022), the sole exception to the remake’s ongoing bad luck (it became a Hindi blockbuster because of some striking changes), Deva also departs from the original in a key way that is happily, more acceptable than the original. Everything’s going hunky dory as the trio take on various criminals. These include Prabhat Jadhav (Manish Wadhwa), who is about to shoot Rohan when Dev kills him. Dev, however, gives the credit to Rohan, so that his father finally acknowledges him. Rohan also receives a Gallantry award for it, but is shot dead by a sniper at the ceremony. A furious Dev wants the case handed over to him and Farhan agrees. One rainy night, Dev messages Farhan to reveal that he has got to know who the killer is. But as it happens, he suddenly has an accident in which he loses his memory. When he physically recovers, Farhan sees that Dev’s natural instincts as a cop are intact and reassigns the Rohan case to him. And then comes the shock. However, the temporary amnesia that Dev suffers is used well for drama and the final result is ingenious. Rosshan Andrrews’ direction is competent and Jakes Bejoy’s score raises the excitement. The camerawork (Amit Roy) and production design (Sandeep Sharad Ravade) lend an apt, earthy tone while A. Sreekar Prasad’s editing is sharp. The title-song is alright. The action (Supreme Sundar, Abbas Ali Moghul, Anl Arasu, Parvez Shaikh & Vikram Dahiya) stands out. So does Shahid Kapoor. Admittedly, there is a bit of a Kabir Singh hangover here, but in most parts of the film, you root for him. Pravessh Rana is effective as Farhan, and Pavail Gulati even better as Rohan. Pooja Hegde is functional and Meenal Sahu is good. Girish Kulkarni is excellent as Apte and Upendra Limaye makes a mark in a cameo is Prince. But I sincerely hope the film makes a mark, considering the factors arraigned against it.

She spoke to Aval Vikatan quite candidly. Ramlath said that Prabhu Deva and she share two sons together and co-parenting binds them in a cordial relationship She said she would never badmouth him as he has always been a great father He said whenever she has faced challenges with the kids The father-son trio talk to each other irrespective of the situation She also said that he was a good human being. Ramlath said that Prabhu Deva never uttered a bad word about her to anyone “I would be angry with him if he had said anything bad about me after we broke up I would not say anything bad about someone like that.” The couple got divorced in 2011 due to his affair with Nayanthara. Prabhu Deva was serious about her, and wanted to settle down. But it seems Nayanthara did not agree to his idea of quitting movies after she got married They broke up after a passionate love story of four years Ramlath had encouraged a protest against her to ban her from working after this whole relationship came to the fore. the film is an official remake of the 2013 Malayalam film Mumbai Police We've got you covered to have the answer to these questions Deva follows the journey of Dev Ambre (Shahid Kapoor), a rebellious and intense police officer, who finds himself in a precarious situation when his close friend and colleague, ACP Rohan D'Silva (Pavail Gulati) Just as he inches closer to solving the case he had already uncovered the identity of the killer but has now forgotten everything What follows is Dev's gripping and frustrating journey to piece together the investigation he once led shocking secrets within his own department start to unravel keeping the audience hooked until the climax Rosshan Andrrews, known for his gripping storytelling in Mumbai Police, tries to recreate the magic with Deva The film starts with an attempt to capture the essence of Mumbai interspersed with Dev’s introduction in an oddly shot green screen sequence The first half struggles with pacing issues as it focuses on setting up Dev’s character and his relationship with his team The investigation sequences are compelling and the tension escalates with a brilliantly choreographed action sequence leading into the climax The biggest strength of Deva is its second half with some scenes stretching too long while others feel rushed The film also tries to incorporate a larger-than-life aura around Dev reminiscent of Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic roles The action in Deva is one of its highlights with well-shot sequences that make use of Mumbai’s urban landscape Jakes Bejoy’s background score enhances the film’s intensity though none of the songs stand out significantly The cinematography captures the grittiness of Mumbai effectively immersing the audience in its chaotic yet thrilling atmosphere exudes all the swag and aura needed for the character his constant smoking throughout nearly three-quarters of the movie made me feel like I was passively smoking through the screen Unfortunately, Pooja Hegde is underutilized Her presence in the story feels more like an afterthought rather than a well-rounded role the film could have benefited from giving her a more meaty part The climax of Deva does manage to deliver a thrilling payoff tying up loose ends and revealing shocking truths The film's major drawbacks include its inconsistent pacing, lack of emotional depth in key relationships, and the underutilization of talented actors like Pooja Hegde. While Deva maintains a gripping premise it doesn’t fully capitalize on the emotional complexity of its protagonist’s journey Deva built theatregoers' intrigue with a cryptic trailer that concealed too many plot details Deva only features one song; Mika's foot-tapping Bhasad Macha This was a pleasant delight because the storyline didn't require unnecessary song inclusions This break-down will help you decide whether to watch or skip Shahid Kapoor's action thriller… just minutes after finding out who the killer is With the help of his brother-in-law DCP Farhan Khan (Pravessh Rana) Dev strives to recall the missing puzzle pieces and unravel the identity of Rohan's killer The question arises; who killed Rohan and why With a 48-hour deadline, Dev collates all the evidence he has on Rohan's murder case but constantly reaches a dead-end.
