Actor Varun Badola, who plays a layered character in ‘Wrong Turn’, is happy that the teleplay will now be translated into Kannada and Telugu. Inspired by ‘Die Panne’ (The Breakdown), a 1956 novel by Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Ranjit Kapoor’s acclaimed teleplay ‘Wrong Turn’ produced by Zee Theatre is now being translated in Kannada and Telugu for audiences in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.
He said: “Because of dubbing, subtitling, and translations, multilingual stories are reaching more people than ever before. I have done two Tamil Ad films, but as an actor, I am looking forward to being a part of this shift and would love to work in many more regional narratives.”
In ‘Wrong Turn’, he plays Arun, a man who walks into an old house one rainy night after his car breaks down. Here, he meets three retired lawyers amusing themselves with a game that he agrees to join.

ClassPass founder Payal Kadakia on Friday revealed that her iconic fitness app almost never came to be.
Speaking at TheWrap’s Power Women Breakfast in New York City, Kadakia said she almost abandoned her vision to launch the company to take a senior role at Spotify — but stopped after receiving some sage advice from her mentor, venture capitalist Anjula Acharia.
“I had the idea of ClassPass — it actually started with a different name — about eight years ago and I hadn’t yet started it,” Kadakia told the audience at New York’s Time Warner Center in a discussion moderated by Shalini Sharma, Fast Company’s director of digital video. “But I had an offer potentially from another big startup called Spotify when they were launching here — they had four people here in their office in New York.”

Anti-gun violence advocate Shannon Watts offered a blunt message for people looking to move the needle on gun violence: Start local.
“Congress is not where this work begins but where it ends,” Watts said during a panel discussion at TheWrap’s Power Women Breakfast on Friday at New York City’s Time Warner Center. “We are fighting in the states.”
Watts said her organization, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense, had “a 90 percent track record of killing NRA bills” at the state level but had also played an instrumental role in passing “good bills” across the country to restrict access to firearms. Watts cited laws across the country that closed background-check loopholes and disarmed domestic abusers.
