Understandably, cinema, too, though it reflects and mirrors society and its ills,...

Om Puri has said he is enjoying the company of Helen Mirren while filming in the South of France.
The 64-year-old star, who is currently shooting for the Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey production The Hundred-Foot Journey, has recently been at the centre of a public dispute between estranged wife Nandita Puri and ex-wife Seema Kapoor.
Speaking to The Times of India, he said: "I am far from the miseries of home and enjoying my stay here. I and Helen share a great rapport and that makes the shoot all the more enjoyable."
The film revolves around an Indian family who move to France and open a restaurant a hundred feet across the street from a Michelin-starred French restaurant, run by Mirren's character.
Puri described the burgeoning romance between the two characters as "a spiritual one rather than being physical in its nature", explaining that they had not yet shot any love scenes.

Om Puri, who is known for his role as the righteous man in Ardh Satya, seems to be alleged of breaking law. His wife Nandita Puri has lodged a complaint at Versova Police station, Mumbai, accusing her husband-actor Om Puri of domestic violence.
Apparently, the marriage of the Puris had hit rock bottom since the book titled 'Unlikely Hero: The story of Om Puri' was released. Om Puri was left fuming after his wife wrote about his sexual life and past affairs in the biography. Nandita however had cleared the air by stating that she just wanted to be honest while writing the book as a journalist. But looks like, these revelations didn't go down well with Om Puri and reports suggest that this may be the reason for this violence.
