Rohit Roy (left) is ecstatic about his upcoming film Kaabil. He is thrilled to be doing a film with both his friend, Hrithik Roshan, and his elder brother, Ronit Roy. Talking about the experience of working with Ronit, Rohit says, “It is perhaps the first time that two real-life siblings are playing villainous brothers on screen as well. This film is special and one for our kids to watch. Ronit was signed first, and later Sanjay (Gupta; director) suggested my name, and I was blown away with the role. Ronit is a different kind of actor as compared to me. I am spontaneou­s, while he prepares for his roles.”

Apparently, Rohit’s character gets what he wants, and does not have to pay the price for it. The actor says, “I want people to be repulsed by me. Unless people don’t come out the theatre hating me, then I wouldn’t have done a good job.” Did he explain his role to his teenage daughter, Kiara? “Ronit explained to me that he has been playing villainous characters, and the kids won’t see the film now, but when they are old enough they will understand that it was just a role,” he says.

Initially, the actor had refused the role because he “didn’t know if I would be able to pull it off ”. “The film is huge and if because of me, the story fell flat, it would have been bad. I was troubled about the role as well,” he says.

Looks like the rumours are true. Actor George Clooney’s (right), wife, Amal (far right), is pregnant with twins.

According to reports, the British-Lebanese lawyer is expecting a boy and a girl. The 38-year-old got married to her 55-year-old Oscarwinni­ng husband in 2014. The couple is very happy and excited with the news.

This came to light when the human rights lawyer turned up with Clooney to show off her bump in a floral dress at a movie screening for The White Helmets documentar­y in London, UK, on January 9. Then again on Tuesday
