More news arrives of actors striving for authenticity. Murli Sharma, who plays Hyderabad don Malleshwar Ramalingaya on Laagi Tujhse Lagan, kicked up a fuss on the sets of the show. He found that he was supposed to enact a scene where the don will be shown reading a Hindi newspaper. This struck Murli as being unrealistic, because he reasoned that the don, being a Hyderabad native, will be reading a Telugu newspaper. So that sent the whole unit into a tizzy as they rushed about trying to find a suitable Telugu daily. But, Mr Sharma, if we extend that logic, you should also be delivering your dialogues in Telugu, no? With Hindi subtitles, of course.
