Game of Thrones: You Wouldn't Believe What The Source Of Drogon's Voice Is

London: Game of Thrones sound designer Paula Fairfield says the noises made by the dragon Drogon are actually recordings of mating tortoises.

The giant flying lizard is the 'child' of Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, played by Emilia Clarke.

The hit HBO fantasy show, which is based on the novels by George R.R. Martin, features three fire-breathing creatures owned by Daenerys, but it is only Drogon that gets its voice from the peculiar source.

Fairfield talked about the source of the sound during WNYC radio show Radiolab on Tuesday, reports dailymail.co.uk. 

"The groan of the male actually became, with some work and adjustments and stuff, the basis of Drogon's purr with Daenerys. I have sounds I might choose simply by certain personality traits that I might want to push forward. 

After Tiger Zinda Hai Success

Mumbai: After two successful outings with Salman Khan in Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, director Ali Abbas Zafar is looking forward to their third collaboration in Bharat.

Zafar said the offer to direct the movie, which is a remake of the 2014 South Korean film Ode To My Father, came to him from Salman himself.

"That film came to me from Salman himself. He gave me the film and said he really likes it and asked me to watch it. I saw it and really liked it.

"(But) You can't make the film exactly how it is in the original. The socio-political scenario affects your story and the character. But I liked the basic crux of the film. Salman said after 'Tiger...', you do this," Zafar said.

Ode to My Father was directed by Yoon Je-kyoon and revolves around a young boy's promise made during the chaos of the Korean War.

Spent Time Making Excuses for Hollywood's Absurdity: Jake Gyllenhaal

I have spent a lot of time in my career making excuses for the absurdity of our world - Hollywood - and all of its confusion, apparent sickness over the past few months that we've discovered, the complications, the vanity," Gyllenhaal said on The Hollywood Reporter's 'Awards Chatter' podcast.

Citing his film, Brokeback Mountain as an example, the actor said despite witnessing the dark side of showbiz, he continues to have faith in the "power of movies".

"You know, you think about 'Brokeback' - I've had people come up to me over the years and say how that movie changed their life or how it made them realise something...

"But what I will never accept is anyone telling me that movies aren't an extraordinarily powerful tool for communication and ultimately, in a small way, for change. And sometimes in a big way," he said.

Aiyaary actress Rakul Preet Singh feels she speaks better Telugu than Punjabi

"The one thing I'd really like to do in 2018 is to speak my own lines on Telugu. Do you know I'm so fluent in Telugu now, I speak the language better than I speak Punjabi. So far I've only dubbed my own lines for one Telugu film," Rakul said.

But she doesn't want to talk about Spyder, which was shot in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously.

"I don't want to speak about Spyder. Not because I am embarrassed about its under-performance. But it's just not an experience I enjoyed. I did it for the pleasure of working with AR Murugadoss Sir, and I'd do it again any time. But Sorry I really don't want to say anything more about this," she said.

Is Rakul disappointed by the male-dominated scripts in south Indian languages?

"Not the least. They aren't all about the men. In fact, my other 2017 release Jaya Janaki Nayaka (Telugu film) featured me in a pivotal role," she said.

Telugu cinema remains Rakul's first love. "It's where I've discovered my love for the camera. Trust me, I enjoy being in front of the camera more than anything else in the world. I can spend as much as 12 hours on the sets, even more. It's the only passion that I have," she said.

Rakul debuted in Bollywood with the 2014 film Yaariyan; she is all set to make her Bollywood comeback with Neeraj Pandey's upcoming thriller Aiyaary that stars Manoj Bajpayee and Sidharth Malhotra in lead roles. She will be seen romantically paired opposite Malhotra in the film. Aiyaary releases on 26 January along with Akshay Kumar's Padman.

India Today's report suggest that the actor spoke to The Times of India and said, "I watch a lot of Hindi films. I live in Hyderabad, where 60 per cent of the people speak Hindi. I am getting good offers from Bollywood. I had okay-ed a script three years ago. It is a love story that I will do post Saaho."

Prabhas, further speaking about his love for Bollywood, also spoke about the cordial relationship he shares with Karan Johar. "I made a good association with Karan Johar. If I want anything, I think I can ask him. He has helped us a lot. In fact, I met some actors (from Bollywood) in Karan's house. They were all very chilled out."

Dhadak: Karan Johar pens an emotional note for newcomers Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor

Karan is backing the film, an adaptation of the acclaimed Marathi film Sairat, through his banner Dharma Productions.

The director read the note on his show Calling Karan on 104.8 Ishq FM on Monday (1 January, 2018), read a statement.

"It's a new year which means new beginnings and time for new relationship goals... Dear Janhvi and Ishaan, you are going to embark on a new journey of stardom this year. You will face many firsts in 2018 from promotion to paparazzi to link-ups and trolling to fame and failures. You are going to see it all," Karan wrote.

"Through all of this, I just want to remind you to not take yourself too seriously and absorb every new experience because these initial days will never come back again. Janhvi, Ishaan your best qualities are that you all are still students.

"That you both really stand by your beliefs and the fact that you really don't take yourself as seriously as I sometimes think you should. I love the fact that you are still vulnerable and innocent, please hold onto that," he added.

Dhadak is scheduled for release in July.

Kaalakaandi, Mukkabaaz, Hichki, Pari and more — early 2018 boasts of small films with big potential

Kaalakaandi

Starring Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Oberoi, Deepak Dobriyal

Saif Ali Khan on Taimur: He is a genetic treasure trove with bits of Rabindranath Tagore, Raj Kapoor IANSJan,03 2018 09:42 01 IST

During an episode of online streaming service Saavn's upcoming show Take 2 with Anupama and Rajeev, Saif spoke about his career, his daughter Sara and son Taimur, read a statement.

"One of the reasons why I got into films unfortunately, I'm being honest, is because I wasn't interested in my exams and academics and I just ran away from home and said 'Oh movies sound great'. But I didn't really know what I was talking about," said Saif.

"So, this desire and this understanding of acting came a bit late for me if it had always been there. If it had been there earlier maybe I might have chosen to struggle in the US, I don't know."

"But I think being sensible about it, you have more opportunities and again it's that nepotism thing again. Being mum's son (veteran actress Sharmila Tagore) would give me a more chance here to meet people than in America. But I think in English, I speak in English as a primary language, unless I'm speaking to someone who is working for me usually.

"There's a difference there, so I think I will be a better actor in English because I'll know when I'm lying whereas in Hindi I've never said to a girl ‘aapki aakhein itni khoobsoorat hai' (your eyes are so beautiful) so I don't know whether that sounds genuine or not, I'm not used to saying that," he added.

On his daughter Sara, who is gearing up for her debut film Kedarnath, Saif says he always knew she wanted to be an actress.

"I have seen her do a very funny advert when she was four and she's been like this all along. There was actress Aishwarya Rai on stage in New York with people going ballistic and Sara sitting on the floor behind the curtain saying 'This is what I want to do'," said Saif.
