Ajay makes time for Nysa

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? The actor says he makes sure to take time out from work every once in a while so that he can spend time with daughter Nysa and wife Kajol. “I take time out for her (Nysa). She wants to travel the world and she does that with me!” admits Ajay. Whenever she is on break from school, Nysa also accompanies her dad to shoots on foreign locations. Now that’s very sweet. Guess other Bollywood dads should take a leaf from Ajay’s time management skills.

varudu movie release on Mar 31st

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 on spiritual quest before next film

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!”

Rs.80 Crores on Pawan & Mahesh!

Producer Singanamala Ramesh who is producing two big budget films, Power star Pawan kalyan’s ‘Komaram Puli’ and Prince Mahesh, Trivikram’s tentatively titled ‘Khaleja’ is now waiting for the result by keeping his fingers crossed. According to the sources Ramesh has invested 80 crores on these two films 40 crores on each.

The two big budgets are gearing up for the release soon. Both being the top stars and both the movies being much awaited ones since the two big star films have been released two years back many feel that both the films click at the box-office.

Hope the two biggies click at the box-office and leaves Singanamala Ramesh tension free!

ALL THE BEST

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

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."

Prakash Raj to tie-knot with Pony Verma

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.
