Indian Bollywood hero Shah Rukh Khan, who is filming his latest action movie Don 2 in Berlin, predicted Friday that the film’s success would encourage millions of Indians to visit the German capital.

Varma to chop some scenes from ‘Rakta Charitra’ after TDP protest

2010-10-24T22:35:00.000-07:00

Following protests by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has agreed to delete some scenes allegedly projecting former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N.T. Rama Rao in poor light in his film “Rakta Charitra” which hit the screens Friday.

Varma, who is the director of the movie, and producer C. Kalyan said they would delete the objectionable scenes and dialogues.

Their assurance came after TDP activists took to the streets in parts of the state and stopped screening of the movie at a few theatres, alleging that Varma projected the party founder as a villain.

Stating that he is the biggest fan of the late former chief minister and popular actor NTR, Varma said those who had not even watched the movie were staging protests. “They should see the larger context in which the movie has been produced,” he said.

The TDP leaders alleged that Varma projected NTR as the one who encouraged factional violence by inducting Paritala Ravi into the party.

Protestors in Anantapur, Hindupur, Eluru, Visakhapatnam, Karimnagar and other towns gathered outside theatres, raised slogans against Varma and burnt his effigy. They demanded a ban on the movie.

The protestors attacked theatres in Visakhapatnam and Karimnagar towns and stopped the screening of the movie.

TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu demanded that the scenes belittling NTR should be deleted and the filmmaker should apologise.

NTR’s second wife Lakshmi Parvathi too demanded that the controversial scenes be deleted.

Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha played the role of NTR in the movie, which evoked tremendous response across the state on the first day.

Anantapur district remained tense but there were no reports of any violence. Police continued their vigil to prevent any untoward incident.

Family of Obul Reddy, one of the characters in the movie, has also taken exception to the manner in which he was projected.

Earlier, Varma cancelled his visit to Anantapur on the advice of the police. Varma was planning to watch the movie in a theatre in Anantapur.

The film, based on the factional war between two families in Anantapur, is the talk of the town as the followers of both the families waited to see if their leaders are projected right and as heroes or villains.

The trilingual film in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil revolves around the feud between gangster politicians Paritala Ravi and Suryanarayana Reddy alias Maddelachervu Suri. Besides Sinha, it stars Vivek Oberoi and Surya in key roles.

Ravi, a former minister and leader of the main opposition TDP in the state, was gunned down in 2005 allegedly by the followers of Congress leader Suri, who is currently in jail for the bomb blast in Hyderabad’s posh Jubilee Hills.

The movie triggered a row much before the release with peace activists and NGOs opposing it on the ground that it could lead to a fresh spell of violence. They accused Varma of making factional statements through the movie and appealed to the people to reject it.

Locals also raised objection to Varma using the name of the district in the film. The protests forced him to change the name to Anandapuram.

Paritala Ravi was allegedly gunned down in Anantapur town Jan 24, 2005, by Suri’s followers.

Suri had earlier made an attempt to kill Ravi in 1997 at the Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad. Though Ravi escaped unhurt, 25 people were killed and many injured in the bomb blast.

Anantapur district is part of the backward Rayalaseema region, is notorious for factional killings. Factions backed by political parties have been engaged in bloody battles for decades for supremacy in villages, especially in Anantapur district.

The factionists are notorious for the merciless manner in which they eliminate their rivals. More than 500 people have been killed in the violence over the past 15 years.

Rakta Charitra Review- Another Gory Facet of the Politics !

2010-10-22T03:32:00.000-07:00

Rakta Charitra Review: Ram Gopal Verma’s much awaited film “Rakta Charitra” is based on a true story of Paritala Ravi.

Well known for his gritty and dark cinema, RGV’s upcoming flick is the most violent Hindi film ever made.
The story of the film has no rules, here the life of human beings is not worth a penny, here men are butchered, women are raped and abducted, here police obey orders of goons and guns, bombs, swords, sharp weapons and knives are a man’s best friend.
The film has just one song. There is no romance, no foreign locations, no humour or comedy, no family gatherings, no striking sets, and no good looking faces.
It is a complete law of the jungle. The essence of “Rakta Charitra” is revenge. This film will be admired by those who has a liking for brutality in cinema. The film deals with emotionally volatile people.
The background of the film is set in a rural environment. The story of the film revolves around Paritala Ravi played by Vivek Oberoi a soft spoken person, who had taken law in his hands to take revenge from his father (Rajendra Gupta) and his brother’s (Sushant Singh) murderer.
The manner in which the incidents unfold in the film keeps the audiences hooked. There is not much movement in the first half of the film.
In fact, there are more and more killings. The story of “Rakta Charitra” gains momentum when an iconic actor turned politician makes his entry and takes Paritala Ravi under his wings.
“Rakta Charitra” is targeted towards those audiences who love to watch violence, aggression, bloodshed, massacre and brutality on the silver screen. The film will also be released in Tamil and Telugu versions.

Gayam 2 – Movie Review

2010-09-05T22:55:00.000-07:00

Director Praveen Sri reportedly narrated an action subject and it impressed Jagapathi Babu so much as it was prepared as a sequel to his career-best action film Gayam. With no second thought he agreed to do the flick. Praveen Sri is a protégé of Ram Gopal Varma. Of course, the action scenes in this film remind us the old film Gayam and the story was perfectly mixed to make everyone believe that the story is a continuation of Gayam. However, what exactly the director wanted to convey to audiences was a big question mark which remain unanswered.

Ram (Jagapathi Babu) is a restaurant owner in Bangkok. Ram leads his life happily with his wife Vidya (Vimala Raman) and adopted son Chaitanya. One day, psychopath killers attempt to molest a female worker at Ram’s restaurant. To protect her, Ram shoots them. This rescue turns Ram a hero before the media.

Gurunarayana (Kota Srinivasa Rao) shocks to see Ram who is quite similar to Durga (Jagapathi Babu), an arch-rival, who was declared dead long ago. Gurunarayana’s son Shankar Narayana (Kota Prasad) leaves for Bangkok along with their lawyer saab (Tanikella Bharani) to find out whether he is Ram or Durga. Shankar Narayana kidnaps Chaitanya. This irks Ram and opens up his identity by injuring Shankar Narayana and killing a person just in front of Vidya.

Lawyer Saab takes away Shankar Narayana back to India. Vidya deserts Ram as he concealed his identity that he was once a killer and goon. But the Bangkok police officer of Indian origin (Jeeva) convinces her that Durga turned Ram and leading a normal and peaceful life only to keep himself off from bloodshed. Then Ram reveals his flashback to Vidya. At a time when it is going to be a happy reunion, again Gurunarayana’s men attack Ram and his family and Chaitanya gets badly injured.

In order to put a fullstop to the bloodshed, Ram decides to go to India as Durga and clear off the rivalry with Guru Narayana. He sends Vidya and Chaitu to the police officer’s house and returns to India. What happens next should be seen on-screen.

PERFORMANCE:
As Jagapathi Babu played the role earlier, he doesn’t need a mention about his performance. He has maintained the same tempo and intensity in this film too, despite the fact that the earlier version was released in 1993 (i.e., almost 18 years ago). The ageing factor however could not be hidden as Jagapathi Babu’s aged skin is clearly visible in close-up shots. Vimala Raman is okay in her role. She has shown her oomph, and was very romantic in one song with Jagapathi Babu. She is sensuous and seductive in that song. Kota Prasad has given show stealing performance. Kota Srinivasa Rao and Tanikella Bharani has given their best performance. Other artistes including Harshavardhan, Jeeva, Ravi Kale, have done their justice to their respective roles.

TECHNICAL Values:
Cinematography by Anil Bhandari is adequate, while editing by Praveen Pudi is impressive. Music by Illarayaraja needs a special mention. Though the background score is excellent, the tunes provided for the songs could have be done better if the maestro would have concentrated a little more. Action scenes by Ram-Lakshman are good to watch. Dialogues are good in parts, while screenplay by Rajendra Reddy is the soul of the film. Generally directors from Ram Gopal Varma school, will bring out either a super hit or super flop films. But, Praveen Sri has maintained good grip on the story and Rajendra Reddy supported him with perfect screenplay. However, the director should have used his brain, while bringing out a film. But in this case, it appeared that Praveen Sri straightly lifted a few scenes from a Hollywood film A History of Violence to complete the first half. And the second half is almost similar to Gayam.

ANALYSIS:
The director and producer should be complimented for portraying the present political situation on the screen perfectly and the audiences would definitely equate Kota’s character with KCR in several scenes. Though it is a coincidence, the film had many similarities to the present political turmoil in the state like Telangana stir and others. Though the action scenes in the film are okay, it is just not known what the director exactly wanted to tell the audiences with this film.

Cast: Jagapathi Babu, Vimala Raman, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Tanikella Bharani, Kota Prasad, Ajay, Jeeva, Harshavardhan, Ravi Kale, Tarjan, Raghunatha Reddy, Master Pavan Sriram and others

No chance of Shah Rukh and I coming together: Salman

2010-09-02T22:59:00.000-07:00

Salman Khan says he is still at loggerheads with Shah Rukh Khan, with whom he had his infamous public spat two years ago, and that they can never be friends again.

“Shah Rukh and I don’t talk anymore. We had misunderstanding and hence parted ways… There is no chance of Shah Rukh and Salman coming together in future,” Salman told trade analyst Komal Nahta, on the sets of “ETC Bollywood Business”.

The 44-year-old called off his friendship with Shah Rukh after the two had a heated argument at Salman’s then girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s birthday party July 16, 2008. The actor has since found friendship in B-Town perfectionist Aamir Khan.

Infamous for splits whether with friends or girlfriends, Salman recently broke off with Katrina too.

Asked if he ever misses his once-upon-a-time brother-in-arms Shah Rukh, he fired: “Shah Rukh meri girlfriend nahi thi… apni purani girlfreind ko miss nahi karta, Shah Rukh ko kya karunga (Shah Rukh was not my girlfriend… I don’t miss my ex-girlfriends for that matter, why will I miss him?)”.

“ETC Bollywood Business” airs Thursday night.

‘Ranbir Kapoor can be the next Amitabh Bachchan’

2010-09-02T22:57:00.000-07:00

After working with Ranbir Kapoor in two films, director Siddharth Anand feels the young actor has the potential to follow in the footsteps of megastar Amitabh Bachchan as the “complete Hindi film hero”.

“The day Ranbir does an action film and does it well, he has the potential to fill the void that Bachchan created,” said Anand who teamed up with Ranbir for the second time for his new romantic comedy “Anjaana Anjaani” releasing Sep 24.

The two had earlier worked together in “Bachna Ae Haseeno” (2008). Ranbir, 27, is the son of well-known Bollywood actors Rishi and Neetu Kapoor.

“Ranbir is the perfect guy to play Anthony (a character played by Big B in ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’), he can play coolie, he can play the characters Bachchan played in his prime. There is no one else but him,” Anand said.

“He has got everything it takes to be the complete Hindi film hero that Bachchan was.”

Anand, who debuted with “Salaam Namaste” (2005), says he has tried to push the boundaries with his first film and completely smashed it with “Anjaana Anjaani”.

“I have torn the boundaries here. When you see the film, it’s something unlike you have seen at any point of time. It’s a love story but its situations are very unique,” said the young director.

“I made Ranbir do strange things. During the shooting of the song “Khuda jaane” in ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ I made him stand on the tip of a cliff and spread his arms and he was shit scared as he has a vertigo problem.

“In ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ there is a sequence where they are stranded in the middle of an ocean. It was the Pacific Ocean and he had to dive into the freezing waters. He did it even though he has aquaphobia,” said the director.

Talking about the film that co-stars Priyanka Chopra, he said: ” ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ is the story of two strangers who meet in strange circumstances and then part as strangers. So it’s a very unique concept for a Hindi film, but it’s deep-rooted as a Hindi commercial film. It has songs, stories, beautiful locations and fabulous performances.”

Siddharth says more than the actresses, he bonds well with actors.

“I am a hero’s director. I bond with my heroes more than I bond with my heroines. Once we become friends, I like to work with them repeatedly if they are okay with it. I have been fortunate enough to work with two superstars,” said Anand.

And what made him pair Ranbir with Priyanka?

“I wanted to have a virgin pair. I wanted a brilliant actress because the film is only about the chemistry between two people. It’s about their sparks, what they speak, and the banters to and fro.

“Ranbir is a brilliant actor; so I needed someone who would be able to match that. Priyanka just fitted in unbelievably,” said Anand.

The director insists that he is very particular about the songs in his films.

“I’m surprised people liked the song ‘Hairat’. I was very clear that I wanted music for a love story that you cannot imagine. It doesn’t belong to a love story. I didn’t want mainstream music,” said Anand.

Asked if he was planning to explore only unique love stories, he said: “Not really. I am a storyteller. If I am in a mood to make you laugh, I will tell you a joke. If I want to scare you, I will tell you a horror story. So it depends on what comes to me at that point of time.”

Ajay Devgn is known as quite a family man. But of late the actor has been working pretty hard on his multiple films. After Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge, he will soon have Raajneeti and Aakrosh coming up. So how does he manage time for his family amidst such a tight schedule?

2010-04-09T23:20:00.000-07:00

‘Prince’ narrates a thief’s race for survival

2010-04-05T10:33:00.000-07:00

Adrenaline pumping action, cutting edge technology and with three actresses wooing him, Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi is all set to make a grand comeback as the solo lead in action film “Prince” releasing Friday.

Made at a budget of over Rs.40 crore (Rs.400 million) by producer Kumar Taurani, the two-hour-six-minute venture boasts of action sequences exceeding an hour. It is releasing with over 1,000 prints worldwide.

Directed by debutant Kooki V. Gulati, “Prince” stars Nandana Sen, Aruna Shields and Neeru Singh as the female lead. Sanjay Kapoor and Dalip Tahil also star in the movie.

“‘Prince…’ is my first action film and will showcase me in a new avatar. It’s a story that could be every man’s fantasy and every man’s nightmare,” Vivek had said.

Shot across South Africa, Thailand and India, “Prince” narrates the story of a quick-witted thief who wakes up one morning to realise that he has a gunshot on his arm and has absolutely no clue about how he got it because he has lost his memory and that his life is at stake.

In his quest to find answers he discovers his name is Prince, he used to work for a man named Sarang and that his girlfriend’s name is Maya.

He is being hunted by the secret service of India I Grip, the CBI and the biggest white collared criminals in the world.

He realises that he is the most wanted man in the country because only he knows the whereabouts of a heist, which contains a secret that is linked not only to his memory loss but something that also threatens the future of the human race.

Prince tries relying on his razor sharp instincts to salvage himself, as the web of deception spins and he gets more entangled, as everyday he meets a new girl who claims to be Maya, he doesn’t know which side of the law he is on and above all he has only six days to live.

Vivek lost 12 kilos for the film and had to undergo about five months of rigorous physical training that included skate-boarding, stunt biking, cable training, martial arts, kicks and punches practice.

The 33-year-old has also jumped from a 32-storied building to a 28-storied one in the film and that too on a bike.

Earlier, titled “Prince of thieves” and “Prince – It’s showtime”, the film has also been in the news for intimate scenes filmed on Vivek with his actresses. Noteworthy is that “Prince” is also releasing simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu, apart from Hindi.

Despite that April is low on Bollywood big releases thanks to the ongoing Indian Premiere League (IPL), producer Taurani is undeterred.

“According to my report, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has not had the same craze this year as it had enjoyed in the last two seasons,” Taurani had told IANS.

“Our film is coming in the middle of the series… The IPL craze is at its peak in the first two weeks and during finals so there will be a dull period in between when we will release our film… We are going big time,” he added.

Also releasing Friday are romantic comedy “Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai” and Rahul Bose starrer “The Japanese Wife”.

“My first preference is to Tollywood”

2010-04-02T06:55:00.000-07:00

Samantha who has debuted in the Telugu film industry with ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ had become the hot favorite not only to the youngsters but also to many tollywood heroes. The actress had also grabbed many fans in kollywood too with this flick. Recently there is a buzz that the kollywood heroes such as Simbu and Vijay were looking for Samantha for their next films.

However, Samantha says that her first preference is for tollywood only since the actress had earlier debuted in a Tamil film but she did not receive much recognition over there and so Samantha has decided to give her first choice to tollywood as tollywood has brought her the stardom.

‘Varudu’ an average fare – Movie Review

2010-04-02T06:52:00.000-07:00

Cast: Allu Arjun, Bhanu Sri Mehra, Arya, Ashish Vidyarthi, Nasser, Suhasini Maniratnam, Singeetham Sreenivasarao and others;

Producer: Danaiah; Director: Gunashekhar; Composer:Manisharma; Camera:R.D.Rajashekhar;

Allu Arjun starrer “Varudu” created a lot of hype before its release mainly because of the huge budget, sets and also because director Gunashekhar kept the identity of the heroine under wraps. He unveiled it just a few days before the release.

Added to these elements that contributed to the hype, the crew associated with the film like the director, composer Mani Sharma, cinematographer Rajashekhar and editor Anthony had a very good track record. But despite a strong line up of artists and technicians, “Varudu” ends up as an average fare.

It seems Gunashekhar hasn’t got over the hangover of the success of his previous film “Athadu” with Mahesh Babu. There are many incidents and sequences in “Varudu” that will remind you of “Athadu”. For instance, the kidnapping of the heroine.

Though Gunashekhar has written his story around a fresh idea about five-day traditional marriage that has lot of native features in it, he failed to execute it effectively. As a result first half of the film drags and bores. Rest of the film comes to life in a few sequences, but again Gunashekhar falters in his narration.

The film has less of comedy.

So much money has been spent on the film, but its a waste because you come out of the theatre disappointed, thanks to Gunashekhar’s sketchy narration. However, he has shot the songs impressively, particularly “Bahusha Chenchala”.

Allu Arjun, who is very good in action and dance sequences, has less to do. His dialogue delivery needs to be improved.

The major highlight of the film is Tamil actor Arya’s performance. It’s courageous on his part to accept a negative character in a Telugu film. He usually plays lead roles in Tamil films, but handled villain’s role quite efficiently in “Varudu”.

Another highlight is the graphics and re-recording work. Chiranjeevi’s voiceover in the beginning may cheer some of his fans, but later the film bores.

The story revolves around Sandeep. He belongs to a rich and modern family, but wants his marriage to be performed in a traditional manner. Sandeep wants his life partner to be chosen by his parents. He also says that he does not want to see his wife before the wedding.

Sandeep’s marriage is fixed with Deepthi. But she is kidnapped by a local don Diwakar on her wedding day. Sandeep rescues her from the clutches of the villain.

Newcomer Bhanu Mehra lacks the screen presence to impress the audience. In short, she makes a disappointing debut. Nasser, Suhasini Maniratnam, Ashish Vidyarthi and Singeetham are good.

Rajashekhar’s camera work is impressive. Manisharma has composed two catchy tunes and awesome background music. Art work is top class.

Overall, “Varudu” is just an average fare.

varudu movie release on Mar 31st

2010-03-31T06:41:00.000-07:00

Direction: Gunasekhar, Production: DVV Danayya, Cast: Allu Arjun and others, Music: Mani Sharma, Banner:Universal Media, Rating: 3/5

The Dynamic director Guna Sekhar is coming back in Tollywood after four years with the movie Varudu. The film with a wafer thin story is produced by D V V Danayya. Bhanushri Mehra is the Movie Varudu heroine. With Bhanu mehra, Varudu movie star Cast is Allu Arjun, Arya, Sayaji Shinde, Ashish, Nazer and others. The Varudu rating is 3/5.

Allu Arjun is playing the role of Sandeep. He is a very nice Guy and the only son of his parents. He is modern but very conventional in his viewpoint mainly about his wedding. Sandeep wants to be married on the lines of Seetha Ramula Kalyanam, stretching for sixteen days, including a marriage ceremony of 5 days.

He tunes his strangely romantic emotions not to chance upon the face of his bride till the last minute. Deepthi (Bhanu Mehra) is his heartthrob. She too responds the gesture and takes decision that she will not see the face of her groom till the marriage.

Finally they met in mandap but Diwakar (Arya) kidnaps the bride. The next shot forms the crux of the love story.

The movie is for family audiences who want dose of unpretentious masala mix. The hero becomes fighting machine in the second half of the movie. Bhanushree Mehra with her earthy looks is new new comer and but gave adequate performance.

Tamil hero Arya is good as the bad guy and he enjoys the villain roles. The interesting part of the movie is the climax fight and the wedding scenes. Music by Mani Sharma are hummable.

Shahid Kapoor working hard for Michael Jackson act

2010-02-25T21:29:00.000-08:00

Shahid Kapoor is working hard on his Michael Jackson act for the Filmfare awards, even if it means rehearsing on his birthday Thursday.

Says Shahid: “The Filmfare organisers felt I could do the Michael Jackson tribute. And I took up the challenge.

“We didn’t have much time to rehearse, only four days. But I’ve grown up watching MJ’s music videos, am a huge fan, so it wasn’t difficult to master the choreography. I will be paying a tribute, not copying MJ. But it is better not to adulterate his steps,” he adds.

While other performers at the Filmfare awards Saturday will have their acts recorded, Shahid will perform live.

Says the focussed performer: “Yes, I’ll be going live… an eight-minute homage. I love dancing on stage. In India, there’s no specific culture for stage performances.

“Out West, there’s a huge market for live performances. Their films don’t have songs and dances. Their pop stars have a vibrant stage culture. So, stage performances are a huge market in the West,” he adds.

Arshad to get Rs.3 crore for ‘Golmaal 3′

2010-02-25T21:26:00.000-08:00

Arshad Warsi has finally agreed to do “Golmaal 3″ after the producers agreed to pay him a whopping Rs.3 crore to be part of the film, sources said.

Director Rohit Shetty said Arshad was on for the project, but the actor did not confirm his consent for the film.

Sources said the deal was finally cut Monday, after frantic negotiations. Arshad’s fee is higher than each member of the cast, barring Ajay Devgn. It is even higher than that of Kareena Kapoor who has a three-film deal with the producers.

Says a source: “After ‘Ishqiya’, Arshad was adamant on his fee. The producers (Ashtavinayak) tried to convince him to take a much smaller fee, arguing that his co-stars Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor and Kunal Khemu (who replaces Sharman Joshi) were accepting a far smaller fee and if Arshad was paid three crore, the others would feel short-changed.”

But Arshad stuck to his guns. Earlier reports said the actor, now hot at the box office after “Ishqiya”, did not like the script of “Golmaal 3″.

Rohit Shetty says: “We were really keen to have him in the film. And yes, the price has been worked out between Arshad and the producers. So he’s on.”

Strangely, though Rohit confirmed Arshad’s presence in “Golmaal 3″, Arshad was still in denial.

“I am not sure yet. They’ve been after me for some time now. But I’m not able to make up my mind. I need to give time to my own production ‘Hum Tum Aur Ghost’. So I don’t know how I’ll manage the dates,” he said.

Sharman Joshi, who was part of the earlier two movies of the “Golmaal” series, had reportedly asked for Rs2.5 crore. He turned down the third part through his secretary.

Says Rohit Shetty: “Even before the scripting of “Golmaal 3″, Sharman sent me a message through his secretary, saying he had other plans. I immediately looked for a replacement and am very happy with Kunal Khemu.”

Shahid Kapoor on spiritual quest before next film

2010-02-25T21:24:00.000-08:00

A sudden change in work schedule made Shahid Kapoor a nervous wreck last month. A timely visit to his father Pankaj Kapoor’s spiritual guru in the hills however revealed to him the virtues of stillness in an overactive lifestyle.

Having finished all his assignments, the actor has no projects on hand at the moment apart from his dad’s film “Mausam”.

Shahid said, “All I can say is faith makes all things possible. That’s why it’s called a leap of faith. I was working 20 hours a day till Jan 20. I was working insanely. When I woke up on Jan 21, I had no work to go to.

“Initially I felt a sense of freedom. Then immediately it was followed by panic…what do I do with myself? I’ve become an insomniac and started tweeting at 4 a.m. I don’t feel tired. I feel I haven’t earned the right to rest. And I don’t know what to do with myself!”

However, here is the upside. “Every time I’ve sat at home without work, it has worked for my career. I did it before ‘Vivah’ and before ‘Jab We Met’.”

Shahid will be doing only one film in 2010 and that is his father’s “Mausam”. He will serve as a hands-on technician, spotboy whatever for the project.

“While I’m being directed by my dad, I’d like to learn in every department. I want to learn about cinematography, choreography and direction. Most of all, I’d learn a lot about acting from my dad. I want to try and absorb from him.”

The thought of acting in front of his father petrifies Shahid. “It’s a very scary thought. But in life you have to face challenges. Of course, there’s anxiety and fear about acting in front of my father. I quite often think I’ve given a decent performance. And then when I hold a trial show for my father, all the confidence crumbles.”

Shahid remembers a nightmarish incident. “I remember this one time when we were shooting for ‘Jab We Met’ near Khandala. Dad dropped in and was watching me on the monitor. And I just couldn’t give my shot! I actually had to tell my dad to leave. I tactfully told him to proceed, and I’d join him for lunch. He immediately understood. And my next shot was okay.”

Explaining his reason for staying away from all other projects, Shahid says, “It’s a film very close to my heart because after 35 years of acting, dad is finally directing a film. After being the best actor in the country – that’s what I believe him to be – he has decided to make a film with me in the lead because he wants to project me in a certain way.

“It’s a huge sacrifice for someone who does so little work as an actor. The least I can do is to be there unconditionally for him during the time that he makes the film.”

To prepare for “Mausam”, Shahid needs to train as a pilot at a military academy.

Says Shahid, “I don’t want to reveal right now what all I’ll be doing. But, yes, I do play an air force pilot. But if you think I’ll learn how to fly a plane for the film, then all I can say is I haven’t reached that stage of madness!”

Saif Ali Khan looks forward to spy thriller, 'Race 2'

2010-02-21T21:20:00.000-08:00

With a Padma Shri and quite a few hits tucked under his belt, Saif Ali Khan is set to launch his second production venture and spy thriller Agent Vinod and says the delayed project is very much on.

"A lot has been said about Agent Vinod, but we are very much on track. Final touches are being given to the script and at the end of March we should have the film on the floors," Saif, 39, told IANS in an interview.

After Love Aaj Kal, this will be his second production, Agent Vinod. It will be directed by Sriram Raghavan.

"Meanwhile, I definitely want to work on Race 2. To do a romantic comedy is also something that stands high up in my list, but then I am just waiting for a great script to come my way."

Taking a trip down memory lane, he said it was superhit Hum Tum that bailed him out during trying times.

"I would think that Hum Tum was a definite milestone film in my career. Yes, there was Kal Ho Na Ho which was a good success as well, but then I was a second lead there. Hum Tum was a solo hit and had the momentum going for me," Saif told IANS.

"Soon followed Salaam Namaste, which further set the pace in my career. In the earlier years, Yeh Dillagi was definitely a landmark movie. Then came Main Khiladi Tu Anari, which again worked quite well for me," added Saif who is one of the top actors today and a successful producer also.

Success came to him after a lean patch where nothing seemed to be working for him. With many of his films belonging to diverse genres failing at the box office, Saif was pretty much looking at the bottom of the barrel.

If one goes into flashback mode and takes a journey back in time, it wasn't too far back when he was dancing to the tune of Main hoon aashiq awara (Aashiq Awara) and Ole, Ole (Yeh Dillagi). Today, with Saif named for a Padma Sri, he has come a long way.

"Yeah, it was a disastrous patch and this is where Hum Saath Saath Hai came in handy. There were also Kachche Dhaage and Kya Kehna which were decent successes and then of course Dil Chahta Hai which was another landmark film," said Saif.

Is there any other film that he believes brought a complete turnaround in the way he was looked at as an actor?

"Other than the aforementioned films like Hum Tum, Salaam Namaste and Kal Ho Naa Ho, diverse films like Parineeta and Ek Haseena Thi brought in further recognition.

" Being Cyrus was nice and offbeat too and then considering the kind of perception that people had for me, Omkara turned out to be huge as it showed quite some range. And now as we stand, I have a production like Love Aaj Kal. So, yeah, it's not that bad after all."

Padmanabham is no more

2010-02-21T08:12:00.000-08:00

Heathrow denies SRK’s body-scan autograph claim

2010-02-11T09:02:00.000-08:00

Britain’s airport authorities have dismissed as “simply not true” claims by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan that he autographed printouts of his body-scan for female security staff at Heathrow airport.

BAA, which owns and operates British airports, said SRK’s claims made last week on the popular ‘Friday Night with Jonathan Ross’ television show were “completely factually incorrect”.
The subject of Khan’s body scan came up while he was telling Jonathan Ross how his new film, ‘My Name is Khan’, is all about a Muslim named Khan who wants to inform the US president that he is not a terrorist.
“I’m always stopped by the security, because of the name. And I think it’s okay: the western world is a little bit worried, paranoid and touchy, I guess – and feely when they’re frisking you,” Khan told his celebrity chat show host.
“I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You’ve got to see them. It makes you embarrassed – if you’re not well endowed.
“You walk into the machine and everything – the whole outline of your body – comes out.”
Khan said he did not know that the body-scans – installed in the wake of last year’s abortive Christmas Day attempt to bomb a transatlantic flight over Detroit – showed up every little detail of the body.
“I was a little scared. Something happens [inside the scans], and I came out.
“Then I saw these girls – they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said ‘give them to me’ – and you could see everything inside.
“So I autographed them for them.”
But a BAA spokeswoman said body-scanning machines at Heathrow could not store or print images in any form.
She said there would be no investigation into SRK’s claims because they “simply could not be true”.
Recent moves to install full-body scanners in airports have caused a furore in the West with civil rights campaigners saying they are worried about invasion of privacy. They say there are no guarantees that images of naked bodies will not be stored or distributed

2010-02-04T04:52:00.000-08:00

Actress Sneha seems to have got into the habit of adding feathers to her cap very often these days. Recently, this actress who is known for her poignant performances in the industry was adjudged the best actress at the recent Global awards function that was organised by United Artistes of India and Alandur Fine Arts. The award function for the same took place in the city recently. Sneha bagged the trophy for her role in the critically acclaimed film Achchamundu Achchamundu, which deals with the grim issue of child abuse.

T’wood conquers Kerala

2010-02-04T04:51:00.000-08:00

The Malayalam film industry might pride itself on being one of the finest in India, but looks like it's Tollywood, known for its 'commercial' movies, that is giving filmmakers from Kerala a run for their money. If the number of Telugu movies being dubbed in Malayalam is anything to go by, it can be said that Tollywood has found a new market.

Arundhati and Arya 2 are the latest movies that are being dubbed, after the success of releases like Happy Days, Parugu, Tulasi and Lakshmi. Shyam Prasad Reddy, producer of Arundhati is even contemplating roping in Malayali actors for future films. "I spent one month getting the right voices to dub for my movie. We are releasing the film in 30 theatres and I want to keep Kerala's audience in mind, while casting for my next film."

With Tollywood being a second home to many Malayali imports, like Nayantara, Sindhu Menon and Meera Jasmine, it's easier for local films to reach out to the Malayali audience. "This trend has caught on like never before. Malayalam films fail to cater to the younger audiences. Telugu films, with more masala, fill that vacuum and are a hit with young movie-goers," says a trade analyst from the Telugu film industry.

Allu Arjun's growing fan base in Kerala is testimony to this trend. Arya 2, which is slated to release in 100 theatres in Kerala, has made a pre-release business of over Rs 2 crore and the dubbing rights of his upcoming movie Varudu, have already been sold for Rs 1 crore, according to sources. Calling himself "Mallu Arjun," the actor on a recent visit to Kerala, told fans that he will shoot a few scenes in the state. "All my movies are being dubbed into Malayalam now as I have a huge fan base there. I observe the culture, the mannersims and the lifestyle of people there to emulate in my films," says Allu Arjun.

It's however, not easy to impress the audience there, says actor Nikhil, whose film, Happy Days, was a hit in Malayalam. "The audience doesn't tolerate movies that lack in quality. My next film Kalavar King will also be dubbed in Malayalam."

Prakash Raj to tie-knot with Pony Verma

2010-02-02T09:25:00.000-08:00

Actor, Prakash Raj is all set to tie the knot with the ace choreographer Pony Verma. Both of them have been dating from a couple of years. Prakash raj has received the divorce with Laithakumari few months back and now they have decided to enter the wed-lock.

According to Sources, “Pony and Prakash have been dating for some time now, but they have always denied it and kept their relationship under wraps. The biggest hitch was that his divorce hadn’t come through, but now that he is officially single again, both of them are keen on tying the knot soon.”

The source also added that, “Pony wanted to wait till she got into the big league and now that she’s almost signed Priyadarshan’s film and also done a couple of songs for Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Guzarish. So she has finally made up her mind to tie the knot with Prakash.”

The wedding bells might ring in the middle of this year.

Set in a rural landscape, Ishqiya explores basic human emotions as influenced by desire, greed and revenge.

Naseeruddin Shah: Khalujan - Khalujan is a pure romantic at heart. He is a bit of an odd cookie in the world of crime
