July 1, 2014 0

By Eric Kelsey LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Paul Mazursky, the writer and director behind such Oscar-nominated films as “An Unmarried Woman” and “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,” has died in Los Angeles. Mazursky, who also co-created “The Monkees” television series, died on Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center from pulmonary cardiac arrest, said family spokeswoman Nancy Willen. He first broke into Hollywood as an actor in Stanley Kubrick’s 1953 film “Fear and Desire” and appeared in episodes of the “Twilight Zone” and the 1955 drama “Blackboard Jungle.” But Mazursky was best known for his work behind the camera, particularly for his ability to tap into topics such as marriage and divorce during the social upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s. His first credit as a film writer was the 1968 Peter Sellers comedy “I Love You, Alice B. Toklas.” Mazursky directed his first feature, the comedy-drama “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” starring Natalie Wood, the following year and earned the first of his four career Academy Award nominations for screenwriting.

The Himachal beauty Preity Zinta is constantly grabbing the attention over the past few days owing to her issues with Ness Wadia. But now, the actress will be in the news for another reason too. Going by the news update, Preity Zinta will star in the upcoming flick ‘Bhaiyyaji Superhit‘ to be helmed by Neeraj Pathak. In the meanwhile, Preity was seen in the film ‘Ishkq In Paris‘.

Preity will be paired opposite Sunny Deol in this film and she will portray foul mouthed, no-nonsense bandit hailing from Uttar Pradesh. Preity will play the ferocious wife of a gangster and hence, her role demands her to be rustic. So, by shedding her bubbly, chirpy image on the screen, Preity will don a brand new avatar in this movie. The director Pandey stated that 14-days shooting of the flick is yet to be done and it will happen after the monsoon.

Sunny Deol was so much impressed with Preity’s portrayal of gangster’s wife that he intends to cast her as the Punjabi mother of Sohni in ‘Sohni Mahiwal’s upcoming remake. Sunny’s son will be playing the lead role in this remake.
