Fans call RRR actor Olivia Morris, who played Jr NTR’s lady-love Jennifer, a surprise package. Read her thank you note

British actor Olivia Morris, who played Jennifer (Jenny) in SS Rajamouli's RRR, is getting a lot of fan-love due to her praiseworthy screen presence and romantic track with Jr NTR, who plays Bheem.

You might have failed with the hook step of “Naatu Naatu” (Nacho Nacho) from RRR, but if there’s one actor who managed to come close to Jr NTR and Ram Charan’s near impossible leg movement is Olivia Morris. Olivia played Jennifer (Jenny), Jr NTR’s on-screen love interest in the SS Rajamouli-magnum opus.

So, when Jr NTR’s Bheem memorises the lines “Don’t call me Memsaab. It’s just Jenny”, thinking it’s probably the full name of Governor Scott Buxton’s niece Jennifer, it’s probably among the most adorable moments in RRR. And when his best friend Rama Raju (Ram Charan) makes him realise that even Jenny is fond of Bheem, fans were left cheering.

Olivia Morris’ character felt like a statement; a statement that you will always find a just, kind and necessary Vibhishana in the cruel, demonic and unjust force of Ravana. But her character also provided warmth and humour that was really entertaining. (11/n)

RRR might be Olivia Morris’ big screen debut and her first collaboration in India, but the way her portrayal has been received, we can expect to see her doing more work here. But, in the meantime, one can find her playing a series regular character of Alice Mays-Smith in period drama Hotel Portofino that began streaming on BritBox in January this year.

ED arrests Biswal Tradelink’s MD in fake bank guarantee case, to confront him with Anil Ambani

21 min ago

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Partha Sarathi Biswal, managing director of Biswal Tradelink Private Limited (BTPL), in connection with an alleged fake bank guarantee case. “A probe has revealed that BTPL fraudulently arranged and submitted fake bank guarantees of Rs 68.2 crore along with forged State Bank of India (SBI) endorsements and fabricated confirmations for a Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) tender. For providing this bank guarantee, BTPL received Rs 5.40 crore from Reliance Power Limited,” an official said. Seven days after searching multiple locations in Mumbai linked to Anil Ambani, the ED has summoned the industrialist on August 5 to join the investigation into a money laundering case linked to a multi-crore bank loan fraud involving companies of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The ED has also issued a lookout circular (LOC) to prevent him from travelling abroad. BTPL was one of the companies where the ED recently conducted searches. Biswal's arrest was made on August 1 and he was produced before a Delhi Court, which sent him to their custody till August 6. "We are planning to confront him with Anil Ambani during questioning and will try to verify some facts," an official said. The ED has initiated its investigation against BTPL based on an FIR registered by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Delhi Police, against the firm, its directors and others, for allegedly providing a fake bank guarantee which was submitted to SECI. “During the investigation, the ED has collected several pieces of evidence and they confirmed the use of fake documents in the name of certain banks and fake email IDs in the name of SBI. Probe has also revealed that BTPL, a small company incorporated in 2019, maintained multiple undisclosed bank accounts and carried out transactions disproportionate to its declared turnover. Many violations of the Companies Act are found, and no statutory records are found at registered addresses, such as books of accounts, shareholders’ registers, etc,” the official said. The probe also revealed that dummy directors were used solely to sign documents, and found at least seven undisclosed bank accounts of the company. “Proceeds of crime, of crores of rupees, have been traced to these accounts,” the official added. A spokesperson for Reliance Power said the ED case related to a bank guarantee. “The company and its subsidiaries acted bona fide and have been a victim of fraud, forgery and a conspiracy. The company has made due disclosure on this to the stock exchanges on November 7, 2024. A criminal complaint in this regard has already been lodged with the Economic Offence Wing of Delhi Police against the third party on October 16, 2024. The due process of law will follow," said the spokesperson.
