At the outset, you should know, I’m not going to weigh in on the whole “Keanu Reeves is immortal” debate here. This is purely about his acting prowess.

Keanu Reeves: A Look At His Illustrious Movie Career

Not many people may know that Keanu was born in Beirut. But, what’s even more interesting is this Coke commercial he acted in. We bet you can’t recognize him.

While I could go on and on about the person, no one’s interested in that. So instead, I’m going to talk about some of his best movies in Hollywood:

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989)

Even though Keanu started acting in 1985, this was his first big break. No one can forget Ted Logan! It sucks that this was the high point of Alex Winter’s acting career but for Keanu, this was only the beginning. A must watch if you haven’t seen it already.

Point Break (1991)

Let’s just call this the point at which he broke out of the Ted Logan persona. We finally got to see Keanu show off his acting chops. Sharing screen space with Patrick Swayze may not be one of the easiest things to do (unless you’re Baby) but Keanu proved he could hold his own with some of the best at the time. This one even got him an award as the most desirable male by MTV which is quite an achievement when you take into account the fact that Swayze was still mesmerizing everyone with his pottery skills at the time.

Speed (1994)

No Keanu Reeves movie list will be complete with this movie. Who thought a movie about a bomb and a bus could achieve so much critical acclaim. 93% on Rotten Tomatoes is no joke!

The Matrix (1999)

Keanu Reeves: A Look At His Illustrious Movie Career

Yes, I skipped ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ but who cares because it’s time to talk about what I believe is one of the best action movies of the last century, ‘The Matrix.’ If you saw this movie as a kid, you wanted to be Neo, right? You so desperately wanted to break free from the Matrix. You waited for Morpheus to come and break you out! Those action scenes, that dialogue, those performances are all embedded in my mind even more than the National Anthem. Now, that takes some work.

Constantine (2005)

Ever since Keanu played John Constantine in this movie, I’ve not been able to imagine anyone else playing the even cooler Dr Strange. Yeah, it might not be the best adaptation in the world, but even Ryan Reynolds needed two different movie franchises to get Deadpool right. So, why shouldn’t Keanu get another chance too? One more thing, Peter Stormare should just be cast as the devil in every movie from now on. He pulls it off beautifully.

John Wick (2014)

Yes, I skipped through some of his other movies but when you’re talking about action movies, it’s hard to ignore John Wick. He made us all believe in a world run by machines with ‘The Matrix’. But, with ‘John Wick’, he made us believe in something more, he made us believe in well-shot and produced action movies. Considering the number of cuts in most action scenes nowadays, it’s refreshing to see so many single take fight scenes. Also, Keanu put in a lot of hard work preparing for this role. You’ve probably already seen this video of him:

Now, we ask one question, is Keanu the greatest action hero of all time? (As much as everyone will disagree with me when I say this) HELL YES!.

There is a possibility of a second autopsy on Sridevi, the mystery over death is now getting deeper.

The unfortunate, untimely and devastating death of the 54 year old diva, the icon Sridevi has turned into a mystery. After the initial reports of death due to cardiac arrest in Dubai getting discarded by the forensic report which says the death occurred due to accidental drowning. The case has taken a ‘serious’ turn with a possibility of second autopsy and further delay in the embalming process which is yet to begin.

According to Republic TV, the public prosecutor will take the decision on second autopsy in some time. Boney Kapoor has been questioned by the Dubai Public Prosecution for reportedly 16 – 18 hours according to the channel.

The hotel room has been sealed for police verification and if required phone records might be traced.

Adding further agony to the wounds is the statement made by politician Amar Singh who is said to be close to the Boney Kapoor family. Amar Singh has made a shocking revelation that Sridevi was disappointed and was not found of hard drinks to the same channel.

Fans, relatives and the public in general are praying that the delay is due to legal procedures and formalities and no ‘foul play’ is found.

But the details of the forensic reports are awaited and what has been circulated is just a cover and not the actual book.

sridevi-1The Dubai Police has recorded the statement of Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor, husband of late veteran actress Sridevi who died here of accidental drowning in her hotel bathtub after losing consciousness.

Sources told Gulf News that Boney was called to the Bur Dubai police station for questioning.

The police took his statement after which he was allowed to return to his hotel.

Indian diplomatic officials told Gulf News they were trying their best to get all approvals so that the body was repatriated. However, they did not provide a definite time for the process.

India’s Ambassador to the UAE Navdeep Singh Suri in an earlier interview with the Indian media had said that they had got clearance from Dubai authorities to repatriate the 54-year-old actress’s mortal remains.

However a diplomatic source said that with the new development of the case being referred to the Public Prosecution, the repatriation issue is now open ended.

He added that the Indian Embassy was in talks with the Dubai authorities to get clearance and is hopeful it will happen soon.

“In such accidental death incidents, the results of the post-mortem and forensic examination reports are referred to the Public Prosecution as part of ordinary law enforcement procedures. The papers are revised by the prosecutors of the jurisdiction where the incident happened. An official order to hand over the body of the deceased to the family or relatives is issued shortly after that,” a chief prosecutor told Gulf News.

In case of any suspicious foul play, prosecutors would carry out further detailed investigations and decide on any future law enforcement procedures accordingly, he added.

Dubai Police has transferred the case to Dubai Public Prosecution, which will carry out regular legal procedures followed in such cases, according to the Dubai Media Office.

Initial investigation showed that Sridevi drowned following loss of consciousness in the bathtub of her hotel room.

They found traces of alcohol in her body and this may have led to the accident.

“The investigation is still going on to determine the circumstances surrounding the accident as the forensic report only says that she drowned,” an official said.

The police are trying to piece together the sequence of events and find out who was with her when the incident happened.

Sources have said that the Dubai Police have released the forensic report on Sridevi’s death to her family and the Indian Consulate representative.

The envelope has not been opened. It has been sent to the Bur Dubai police station. Both the representatives have gone to the police station with it. Once opened by Dubai Police, and the information revealed to the family, then the next step for the process of repatriation will be decided.

Dubai Police have confirmed that there will be further delays in repatriating the body of the Indian actress who died in here on Saturday.

Sridevi’s mortal remains are expected to be released later on Tuesday after blood and organ test results are out, Gulf News has learnt.

A forensic source here said that the biopsy of blood and organs is routinely carried out in cases where cause of death is not clearly known.

The untimely demise of Sridevi has left her countless fans as well as Bollywood in a state of shock

The untimely demise of Sridevi has left her countless fans as well as Bollywood in a state of shock. While a steady stream of B-Town stars visited Anil Kapoor’s Juhu residence yesterday to condole the death of the superstar, several others cancelled events that were scheduled for the week. Shabana Azmi took to Twitter to announce that she and husband Javed Akhtar would not be hosting the annual Holi party this year. “Our Holi party at Janki Kutir stands cancelled on 2nd March in the wake of Sridevi’s passing away (sic),” she wrote.

Rani Mukerji, who was slated to release a new song of Hichki yesterday, called off the launch. Another ardent fan of the superstar, Kangana Ranaut was stationed in Bikaner for the shoot of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi when she heard about Sridevi’s death on Sunday morning. So distraught was the actor that she cancelled her shoot for the day. The unit of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor-starrer 102 Not Out too decided to defer the filming of their song on Sunday, as a mark of respect to India’s first female superstar.

Ram Gopal Varma, who had directed Sridevi in Kshana Kshanam (1991) and had often described her as his muse, was grief-stricken by the unfortunate turn of events. He postponed the announcement of the title and poster of his new film with Nagarjuna, to a later date. The music launch of Maniesh Paul-starrer Baa Baaa Black Sheep, scheduled to take place today was also called off.

Dubai police on Monday recorded the statement of Boney Kapoor, husband of Bollywood actor Sridevi who died of accidental drowning in her hotel bathtub after losing consciousness, according to a media report

Dubai police on Monday recorded the statement of Boney Kapoor, husband of Bollywood actor Sridevi who died of accidental drowning in her hotel bathtub after losing consciousness, according to a media report. Kapoor reportedly discovered Sridevi unconscious in the bathtub filled with water. She was taken to a hospital where she was declared dead on arrival. Dubai Police called in Kapoor today to Bur Dubai police station for investigation. Police took his statement after which he was allowed to go back to his hotel room, sources were quoted as saying by the Gulf News.

The Dubai government said in a tweet the police had transferred the case to the “Dubai Public Prosecution” which will carry out regular legal procedures followed in such cases. “Dubai police headquarters today stated that the death of the Indian actress Sridevi occurred due to drowning in her hotel apartment’s bathtub following loss of consciousness,” the Dubai government’s media office said on Twitter.

There could be a further delay in Sridevi‘s body being brought back to India, with the Dubai police informing the Indian Embassy that another “clearance” was awaited before the body could be released. Sridevi was in Dubai for a family wedding and had stayed back after the ceremonies. Her husband had flown back to Mumbai with their younger daughter Khushi, but returned to Dubai to surprise her.

The news of her death, first reported at around 3 a.m. IST on Sunday, sent shock waves across the country with those who knew her at a loss to explain how the star, who was present at several wedding functions in Dubai last week, could suddenly breathe her last. Her family has not commented beyond their initial statement yesterday to announce the death, and has requested the media not to contact them as they grapple with the tragedy.

Adnan Siddiqui, the legend Sridevi’s co-star in her most recent release Mom, was among the first few people to reach her Dubai hotel following the news of her death; says husband Boney Kapoor was inconsolable till the wee hours

As the country mourns the loss of its favourite superstar Sridevi, there are speculations surrounding her sudden death in Dubai. mid-day has learnt that Adnan Siddiqui, Sridevi’s Pakistani co-actor from Mom (2017), was one of the first few people to reach the Jumeirah Emirates Tower after learning about her death on Saturday night.

Recounting the ill-fated night, Siddiqui told mid-day, “I got a call from a journalist at around 11 pm asking if the news about Sridevi’s death was true. I immediately called up Boney [Kapoor] saab and rushed to him.” The actor says he reached the hotel to find the investigation going on and the room cordoned off. “I got to Jumeirah Emirates at around midnight. Initially, I was not allowed to go upstairs. At the time of the investigation, only Boney saab and Dubai officials were present. So, I waited in the lobby for about an hour.”

It was only after the initial rounds of investigations were done that Siddiqui met Kapoor upstairs. “When everything was settled, Boney saab called me upstairs. He was there along with a family friend, his wife and a daughter. Boney saab was crying like a baby; he was inconsolable. I was with him until 5 am. He was under a lot of stress, so I advised him to rest, and then left.”

The Pakistani actor had developed a warm bond with Sridevi and Kapoor while he was shooting with the former for Mom. So disturbed was Sridevi about not being able to meet him after the film’s release, due to the ban on Pakistani artistes after Uri attacks, that she invited him specially for her nephew Mohit Marwah’s wedding in Ras Al-Khaimah.

“When I landed in Dubai at 11 pm last week, I called up Boney saab and asked him if it made sense for me to come at that hour considering the function may have been over. He said, ‘Even if the function gets over, we will wait for you’. So I drove for two hours to Ras Al-Khaimah,” recollected Siddiqui, adding that true to her word, Sridevi was waiting for him. “I can’t believe that I met her four days ago and now, she is no more.”

sridevi_lateIndian officials and family members of Bollywoood star Sridevi are still waiting for the necessary certificates from the Dubai authorities to start the process of repatriating her mortal remains, at least two officials today confirmed.

Sridevi, 54, died late Saturday night reportedly due to a cardiac arrest in Dubai, where she had gone to attend the wedding of her nephew Mohit Marwah.

“We need forensic certificate, death certificate and embalming certificate before the process of embalming the body begins. Unless these processes are completed, we will not be in a position to give a firm time for the repatriation of the body,” an official from the Consulate General of India told here.

According to him, things cannot proceed further until the Dubai authorities hand over all the reports.

“We have been transparent since yesterday that we are waiting for the aforesaid clearances and things cannot proceed further until that happens,” the official said.

According to the sources, Dubai Police have released the forensic report on Sridevi’s death to her family and the Indian Consulate representative.

Uncertainty over when the body would arrive in Mumbai and the many questions surrounding her sudden death in Dubai intensified as the day progressed.
