New York: International star Tom Hardy enjoys a huge fan following across the globe, courtesy of his notable performances in 'Inception, 'Dunkirk, ' 'The Revenant, ' 'The Dark Knight Rises, ' and 'Venom'.
His acting prowess has left many Indian fans spellbound over the years as well. And it seems like the desi audience is in for a surprise as Tom Hardy, in a recent interview with ANI, expressed his desire to visit India.
"I'd love to go and visit India. It's not something I've done yet it so it's something I really, really want to do in my life," the Oscar-nominated actor shared.
Meanwhile, Tom Hardy is being lauded for his role in the gangster drama 'MobLand', which also stars veteran actor Pierce Brosnan.
On sharing space with the legendary actor, Tom Hardy said, "I've wanted to work with Pierce Brosnan for a long time, and I went to the same drama school as him, so it was a privilege to work with him because he's a fantastic actor. He's got such range, he's really professional, and he's got lots of versatility, and he's a super smart and wicked actor. I had a great time with him."
'MobLand' also marks Tom Hardy's reunion with ace filmmaker Guy Ritchie after 2008's RocknRolla.
"I love Guy Ritchie. I've wanted to work with him for ages since I did RocknRolla. So it was brilliant to be able to get back to work with him and have a bit more meat on the bone," he added.
MobLand, which also features veteran actress Helen Mirren, follows the London-based Irish crime family headed by Brosnan's Conrad as they fight for power within a global syndicate. Mirren plays Conrad's wife, Maeve ("the brains behind the charm," per Brosnan's voiceover in the trailer), and Hardy is Harry Da Souza, the family's fixer, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The show is out on Paramount+ and JioHotstar.

Ashley Tisdale on what makes her High School Musical character iconic
Washington DC [US], June 22 (ANI): Actress and singer Ashley Tisdale talked about her 'High School Musical' character and what made it iconic. Tisdale, who played Sharpay Evans, a student with a love of theatre in the hit Disney franchise, recently shared what she thought was "so funny" about the role, reported People. "When I played the character of Sharpay -- I think it was probably what made her so funny -- was that I truly thought [Sharpay] was the popular girl in school. I thought Sharpay was popular, and I played it like she was popular," Tisdale recalled. "And [director] Kenny Ortega enhanced that. He made me feel like I was popular. But what's so funny is that she's not the popular girl. She's the drama queen. And my husband's like, 'That's what's so funny about how you played it. You thought you were popular,' " she continued, according to People. The actress also shared how it feels "so cool" to see the character find new life on social media and in meme culture. "Sharpay is -- I swear she's mother to everybody -- because it's like she just keeps coming back on these memes and people keep talking and doing the songs," she said, adding, "And I'm just like, I mean, out of everyone in High School Musical, my character is the most iconic. It's so cool." Tisdale, who also voices Candace Flynn in the hit animated series Phineas and Ferb, said how lucky she feels to have been a part of multiple franchises that have reached cult status. "I mean, it's so cool ... It's really awesome to be a part of these projects that have really been so prevalent in pop culture and to play these characters," she adds. "It's just, you're like, 'Dang, man.' I can't believe out of everything that I auditioned for [...] I got this animation [series] that has lasted this long. Or I was always trying to get a Disney movie, and never got the movie. And then, I got High School Musical," according to People. "Out of all the ones, I get that. This is pretty awesome," she said, reported People. 'High School Musical' became one of the most successful Disney Channel Original movies of all time. It generated two popular sequel films, the third of which was released in theatres in 2008 and earned more than USD 250 million worldwide at the box office, per Variety. Two sequels, High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year, were released in August 2007 and October 2008, respectively. (ANI)

Seth Rogen eyes Vin Diesel for 'The Studio' season 2
Seth Rogen , the co-creator and star of the hit series ' The Studio ,' has expressed his desire to have Vin Diesel join the show's second season. In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Rogen discussed the show's renewal and his enthusiasm for potential guest stars. 'The Studio' has already made a significant impact with its first season, featuring many celebrity cameos, including Charlize Theron, Martin Scorsese, and Zac Efron. The show revolves around Matt Remick, a studio head, and Rogen's character plays a central role in the series. When asked about potential guest stars for season two, Rogen mentioned Vin Diesel as one of the actors he would love to work with. "I think Vin Diesel would be very funny and fun to work with, mostly because if you think about it, he's only in those Fast & Furious movies," Rogen said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. He added that seeing Diesel outside of his iconic role as Dominic Toretto would be exciting, given his strong association with the franchise. Rogen took the opportunity to extend an invitation to Diesel directly during the interview, joking about Diesel's alleged habit of watching Jimmy Kimmel Live! regularly. "I assume you're watching this as you do every night. I assume you're watching it while driving like a 65 Pontiac. If you would please consider, maybe we can organise a Zoom -- and I'll capture your baldness on a hard drive," Rogen said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. With the show's renewal for a second season, fans can expect more celebrity cameos and engaging storylines.
