In 2015, the actor showered praises on the filmmaker and said that Anand’s expertise lies in knowing his artists well. Besides, R Madhavan also spoke about how he was jealous of Dhanush when the actor-director duo collaborated on Raanjhanaa.

In an interview with IndiaGlitz, he said, “I was very jealous of Dhanush when he was doing his next film with Aanand. Because I was going to miss that. I am going to be jealous of any other actor that Aanand works with.” 

Further, the Minnale actor termed Aanand L Rai and Dhanush’s collaboration on the 2013 film ‘Brilliant’. Moreover, Madhavan complimented the filmmaker and said, “Aanand’s expertise lies in the fact that he knows his artists really well.

Ashley Park and Lucien Laviscount are all set to grace our screens as Mindy Chen and Alfie, once again, in Netflix’s Emily In Paris Season 4, slated for release on August 15, 2024. Ahead of the release of the series, Pinkvilla sat down for an exclusive chat with the duo and learnt about their journey on the show, and their personal favorite season.

During the exclusive interview, Ashley spoke about what her character, Mindy means to her and how it has influenced certain aspects of her life. She told us, “I think it’s become such a big part of my life and it’s really been a jumping off point for a lot of different aspects of my life and the people in my life – I mean best friends like the love of my life Paul [Forman] and I.”

The Beef star, then, delved into greater details of how her character played an important role in enriching her personal life including endowing her with exclusive knowledge of fashion, travel, and more.

She said, “I had not had access or as much knowledge or history with fashion, Europe, all of these things, travel. It’s really curated what my life has become and what I care about and my priorities. The actress further added, “I think it means everything to me to be able to play this part.”

In conversation with Pinkvilla, Lucien Laviscount who plays Alfie took us through his character’s impending journey after having emotionally-charged moments in the previous season.

He said, “[Alfie] is falling head over heels with someone, head over heels with the city and what makes that city special is the people that he’s been introduced to. I think after season 3 that gets kind of pulled away from him so in season 4 we definitely dive into Alfie’s more vulnerable state within.”

Laviscount told us exclusively that a “really deeper layer of Alfie” and “a deep vulnerability” where he’s discovering himself is upcoming in season 4.
