Sonal Chauhan Shares Her Experience Of Working With Big B

After her debut in Mahesh Bhatt’s Jannat, Sonal Chauhan disappeared from the big screen. Now the actress (who is also a Philosophy student) is back in Bollywood with Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini.
Sonal speaks to Patcy N about the film and what it’s like working with two such formidable co-stars.
Why this long gap after the success of Jannat? Did you miss Bollywood?
I did not miss Bollywood because I did not go anywhere. I was right here. I did a film with Owais Husain (son of the late M F Husain) and one film down south.
I was concentrating on my studies because of which I could not do many films. I want to study more so I will have to adjust it with my work. I think it was worth the wait because after the break, I got to do a film with Mr Bachchan, and so early in my career! It’s a very big thing for me.
After you graduate, will you leave Bollywood and explore something else? What are you studying?
No, I will be very much here, as I am here to stay. There are some more films that I am looking at. I love being here but at the same time I feel that it is important for me to study. I am studying Philosophy and next year will be my final year. Source

Sushmita Sen Is Involved Into ‘ I Am She’

Sushmita Sen heads I Am She, the national beauty pageant that sends its winner to the Miss Universe pageant, and seems happy guiding her young charges and being the mentor she herself never had.
“I Am She is an institution that reflects and personifies the grace, charm and elegance of an Indian woman. It has been acknowledged internationally as one of the best conceived pageants,” she says of the pageant that will be held in July for the second year running.
Talking about the response the contest has attracted, the former Miss Universe said she was ecstatic about the numbers. “I am overjoyed by the response. The best part is that this time the girls can speak in any language they are comfortable in, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu,” said the dazzling Sen.
As a result of dismantling the language barrier, she says, almost 1,800 women have applied to take part in the contest, many of them from really small towns, “which is a great sign. You will see the raw Indian beauty now.”
Is the aim of all these prospective contestants to ultimately land up with a plum role in Bollywood, an industry she herself has quit?
Sushmita disagrees; the pageant has gone beyond Bollywood, she says. “You wouldn’t believe it but we have got a contestant who is a lawyer, another who is a practising doctor, we have got contestants from various fields. And so, no, they are not craving for a career in the film industry. Instead, their aim is to win the scholarship.”

Everyone Wants Salman Khan To Get Married Soon

For a long time now everybody is waiting eagerly for Salman Khan to get married! Earlier Aamir had said the only way to get Salman married is to tie his hands and take him directly to mandap. Now here is some more interesting buzz to know that not only Aamir is worried about Salman settling down for good, but even Sameera Reddy has a lot to say for Sallu.
Sameera Reddy was recently seen at some virtual gaming portal’s anniversary where she couldn’t resist talking about Salman. She said, “It is very unfortunate that Salman is not yet married in spite of the fact that he’s been into relationships for a number of times. The girls really benefited a lot after being with him. But at the end Salman was all left alone. I think it’s high time when he (Salman) should get into an arranged marriage.”
Well Sameera, was this a genuine answer or is it because of the soft corner that you have for Salman, who is also your first crush? Source

The Intimate Bedroom Scenes Of Murder 2

According to the director of Murder 2, Mohit Suri says shooting bedroom scenes can be a nightmare. Suri, who has directed upcoming thriller, a sequel to 2004 hit film Murder, has shot a few lovemaking scenes with the lead pair Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez.
“Lovemaking is the most difficult scene to shoot because there the director cannot show the actors what to do. You have to let the actors be and let them do their own thing,” the 30-year-old director told.
“Although a lot of people say it’s very easy to shoot for physically intimate scenes and it’s fun… that’s all untrue because it is no fun. It’s a very uncomfortable situation. It’s very difficult to shoot, even for the cameraman, because you don’t know in which direction the actor will go. Lighting is also an issue. You have to keep so many things in mind,” he added.
In order to make both Emraan and Jacqueline comfortable during the shots, Suri kept intimate scenes for the last schedule.
“I shot all intimate scenes in the end purposely so that Emraan and Jacqueline get to know each other and got that trust and faith in each other before. You can’t ask two people on the first day to do intimate scenes. It’s difficult.
“It’s important that the actors have a rapport before they do such scenes,” said Suri who is not new on the job - he has films like Zehar, Kalyug, Woh Lamhe and Crook that have bold scenes.
Released in 2004, director Anurag Basu’s Murder was one of the few films of that year to have bold content and Suri reveals that the sequel will also have a heavy dose of the same because that is the requirement of the story.
“If you are showing an illegitimate relationship in a film, it’s unfair to show it with two flowers. Emraan and Jacqueline are friends. They are people who are not in love but they are sleeping together. So you can’t show that relationship by showing them holding hands and singing songs in parks,” said Suri.
“But we have not pushed sexual content into the film to grab eyeballs. It was incorporated because it was required,” he added.
“Sex in films is always used for titillation. If anyone says that they are using it artistically, they are lying. There is no such thing. But even a song is there for titillation. If you see a good song, it excites you. If you see a good action sequence, it thrills you. If you see a good dance number, it entertains you. So everything is for titillation.
“We are in a business of exciting people. It’s not for artistic reality,” said Suri, who is filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s nephew.
Murder 2, which has been produced under the banner of Vishesh Films, is slated to hit screens on July 8th. Source

Aamir Khan To Write A Film For Kiran Rao

Besides being a prolific actor and filmmaker, Aamir Khan has even penned the story for one of his early films - ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ and wrote the screenplay for ‘Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke’.
Now, he is all set to wield the magic of the pen with a new script that he is co-writing with wife Kiran, cousins Mansoor and Nuzhat Khan.
Speaking to IBNLive, Aamir divulges his plans, “I intend to work once again as a writer. I have been co-writing a script with Kiran, Mansoor and Nuzhat. We start next month.”
Aamir all set to write new film, Kiran to direct.
Holding his plans close to his chest, the filmmaker chooses to give out only limited information: “It is originally my idea which I discussed with the rest. But the process is still in a very early stage.”
Surprisingly, Aamir does not want to direct this project and instead says Kiran will be taking over the director’s hat.
He also adds that the film that will take shape from the script will belong to the mainstream genre. But he does not rule out further participation in the project. He admits, “Hopefully I will be acting in the film.” Some of his most recent films like Peepli Live, Dhobi Ghat and Taare Zameen Par have all been offbeat films.
Apart from dishing out these details, Aamir chose to keep mum on the project. However, he said that if the script works out, he will start work on the film only after he wraps up his next film Dhoom 3. He said, “If the script gets locked in another four to five months, then I can confirm it in another six months.” Source

Akshay Is Not A Superhero In ‘Joker’

Akshay Kumar’s superhero image in Joker was rumored to be an apt follow up to Shahrukh Khan’s superhero film RA.ONE. Since Salman Khan and Aamir Khan had not yet done a superhero film, Akshay was supposed to have taken a clear cut lead even though Hrithik Roshan holds the patent of being a superhero (courtesy KRRISH) while Abhishek Bachchan has tried and failed with DRONA.
However as things stand today, there is still some more time to go for Akshay before he dons the superhero costume. That’s because as learnt from reliable sources, JOKER is anything but a superhero film.
“Superhero film? No, not at all. On the contrary the film is an antithesis of a superhero film. People should have made out from the title itself that there is a JOKER involved, not a ’superhero’,” says a crew member on condition of anonymity. Source

Shahrukh Dances To The Tunes Of Salman At IIFA Awards

Despite of his knee injury the Bollywood badshah Shahrukh Khan chose to make his audience dance to his steps, and Salman Khan’s too!
“If I can’t dance, I’ll make sure everyone dances here in Toronto tonight,” he said as he spoke to the over 20,000-strong audience at the Roger’s Centre for the 12th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards ceremony on Saturday night.
The 45-year-old, who kept making off-and-on appearances on stage during the event, was the grand finale performer. Though his performance started with a bang with the peppy number Say shava shava, but within a minute it ended leaving fans disappointed.
Little did anyone know that Shah Rukh had more in store for his fans.
“Today, I’ll teach you guys different techniques used in Bollywood dancing,” he told his fans.
He took the help of choreographer Shiamak Davar’s troupe members in getting thousands of people dancing in the stadium, a key landmark in Toronto.
Teaching his fans how to sway to Say shava shava, Shah Rukh suggested the fans to presume they had to “pull the flush and knock the door”.
Shah Rukh threw another surprise when he chose the title track of his friend-turned-foe Salman Khan’s Dabangg for the activity. He even imitated the typical Salman step wherein he keeps his hands inside the pants’ pockets, and moves them side to side.
“This step was made because the trousers were made extremely lose,” he quipped.
Aamir’s Khandaala and Jeetendra’s Dhal gaya din were also on Shah Rukh’s list of dance numbers to be taught. He had colourful hankerchieves and brooms as props for his dance class!
Trust Shah Rukh to engage his audience like no one does.
The audience was, of course, more than elated.
“This gesture of Shah Rukh of teaching us dance steps was very cool. We felt like a part of the whole celebration, and not just spectators,” Riddhima Roy, a 20-year-old, said.
A foreigner said, “It’s a great way to learn Bollywood dancing in a humourous way!”  Source

Tusshar Kapoor Is Planning To Become A Producer

Its been a busy year for Tusshar Kapoor. He has enjoyed two releases already and though LOVE U… MR. KALAKAAR! didn’t quite set the cash registers ringing, there was good critical appreciation that came in for SHOR IN THE CITY. Now he is gearing up for the September release of HUM TUM SHABANA.
One wonders though where he is on the production plans. After all it wasn’t too long ago that he was planning to turn a producer.
With sister Ekta seeing good success coming her way as a producer, what with her strategy of mixing low (RAGINI MMS), medium (THE DIRTY PICTURE) as well as high budget (ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI - 2) films well, is he looking forward to going independent as well?
“See I won’t deny that there is a thought in my mind about turning a producer, “confesses Tusshar, “However as of now I don’t have any major plans per se. I have just discussed with a few close associates that I aspire to turn a producer but it is untrue that there is something concrete already in place.” Source

Acting Comes Natural To Amitabh Bachchan; He Follows No Methods

You must be thinking that how can Big B manage to perform so well for the roles like he is playing in his upcoming flick.
He was answering a similar question for his film BBUDDAH-HOGA TERRA BAAP. This actor does not prepare. He just acts and has very little faith in the ‘method’ theory of acting first propounded by the Russian actor and theatre director Constantin Stanislavsky and later popularised by Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg who trained thespians like Brando, Niro and Pacino.
We also have our ‘method actors’ in Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri, and a whole lot of new-gen practitioners of the craft who go through an intense process of preparation for their ’serious’ and ‘meaningful’ roles. Our cerebral Khan is also believed to be a kind of a follower of the ‘method school’ since he takes his own sweet time getting into his intense characters and then coming out of them. Source

Hrithik Is The Best Dancer Of Film Industry : Says SRK

With ‘Just Dance’, Hrithik Roshan has made his debut to the small scren. While it was obvious that the show would grab eyeballs considering that it is Hrithik Roshan, arguably the best dancer in Bollywood and a superstar in his own right, who is judging the show, no one expected that it would generate such an excellent response from audiences. Positive reactions haven’t stopped pouring in ever since the show’s first telecast.
The most positive endorsement of Hrithik and his show has come from none other than Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh said,” When I think of dance, I think of Hrithik. For me, the two are synonymous with each other!” He further added that Hrithik is the most appropriate judge for any television show concerned with dance, since Hrithik is the best dancer in the film industry.
Several others have complimented Hrithik for his spectacular debut on small screen. While Akshay Kumar praised him for his fluent and refreshing dance moves, Deepika Padukone put Hrithik in the category of emotive dancers like Madhuri Dixit. Karan Johar too expressed his appreciation by saying that there can be no one else who could judge a dance show better than Hrithik Roshan and that the contestants in the show will find it really hard to match the expectations from them.

Kangna Ranaut’s Hidden Talent Is Revealed

The Tanu of bollywood, Kangna Ranaut, seems to be going Salman Khan’s tried and tested route to win people’s hearts. Sources on the sets of Ranaut’s new film I Love New Year confirm that the actor takes the trouble to actually cook a hearty meal for most of her colleagues from the film.
“Not many know this, but Kangna loves to cook. In fact, she prefers to cook her favourite dishes herself. Initially, she would get non-vegetarian dishes like paya and the like for herself.
Her colleagues, Sunny Deol and other unit members tasted it and were floored. They requested her to pack in more for them too, the next time she entered the kitchen,” says the source, who is also a regular on the sets.
“Bas aur kya, Kangna has been bringing in dabba for the unit members she shares her lunch with ever since. And she says that she prepares it herself so it’s really sweet of her,” adds the source.
It may be recalled that the actress was being spoken about for her ‘attitude’ problem not so long back. Though she denied the buzz strongly, Ranaut seems to have learnedsoon enough that the key to building a good image is through your unit members tummies.
It’s a trait she perhaps picked up from her pal Khan, who is known to pamper people from his sets with homemade biryani, chicken and mutton delicacies.
When asked, Ranaut didn’t deny the story and admitted that she’s been packing in lunch for the unit members of I Love New Year.
“(Laughs) Whenever someone on the sets has tasted my food, they’ve loved it. So I couldn’t resist packing a dabba for everyone since then,” she said adding that she wakes up early in the morning to begin preparations for the meal.
“They specially like the non-vegetarian preparations — paya and biryani. Vinay (Sapru, the director), Sunny and the others gather in my vanity van and that’s where the meal is devoured,” says Ranaut. Source

Is It Priyanka Vs Kareena Again?

Recently when Salman was questioned about his fave co-star, he spoke about actor Kareena Kapoor with whom he’s currently shooting for Bodyguard calling her the “original desi girl”. Referring to her as angel-faced, Salman said, “Bebo is the original desi girl.” A tag that’s so far been associated with Chopra after her hit hot number of the same name in Dostana. Says an insider, “Salman’s ruling the roost in Bollywood and he has clearly usurped Chopra by crowning Kareena with what was almost Chopra ’s hold so far.”
Many even feel that what instigated Salman this time around was Chopra’s increasing proximity to frenemy actor Shah Rukh Khan.
This fresh volley of words may just spark another round of a cold war between Bebo and Chopra too, who are known to not be in a cordial relationship themselves, despite maintaining an ‘all is well’ stance on the surface. This, especially, after the cold vibes the two shared after Chopra dropped in unannounced on the sets of Kapoor’s beau actor, Saif Ali Khan to bond with Bebo’s boyfriend.
Interestingly, Salman and Saif are not the only Khans who seem to have a soft spot for Kapoor. The other Khans — Shah Rukh —too can’t stop praising his Ra.One co-star and even Aamir with whom Bebo’s doing her next has made exceptions only for her. Source

Akshay Kumar To Learn A New Form Of Martial Art For ‘Rowdy Rathore’

Akshay Kumar is heading off to an undisclosed destination in South East Asia to learn a martial art form called Combat Karate for his next film, Rowdy Rathore.
This martial art form utilises fast-paced high kicking and speed punching and strikes to vulnerable points on the opponent’s body. No rules are followed as it is a very stylised form of street-fighting. A source reveals, “There are various forms of Combat Karate, including the American one. However, Akshay will study the traditional art form popularly practised as an underground activity in South East Asia. Until recently, training in the art was banned in some countries in the region.
Akshay will be taking off for two months to learn Combat Karate, and will be accompanied by his action director Anal Arasu. During this training period, he will cut off from the outside world as this training involves rigorous discipline, focus and concentration. Rowdy Rathore is set in the rustic heartland of India, and will be directed by Prabhudeva. It will see the Khiladi Kumar return to the action genre, something he knows and does extremely well. Source

Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, starring Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin has been in the limelight for various reasons, one being the hot and special scene between lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif. Recently there were reports that the scene may be toned down as it was too hot to handle.
However, after much deliberation, the producers, Excel Entertainment, have decided that the kiss will not be toned down. A source close to the film said, “Hrithik has no problems with the kiss. If he had, would he have done it? Ditto for Katrina. So why tone it down? Isn’t today’s youth bold in their actions? So why be squeamish?”
Added the source, “Yes, Excel Entertainment did have meetings in debating whether the kiss needs to be toned down. Some people in their circle even wanted it to be deleted as it is just too steamy. But majority of the members who participated in the debate were against tampering with the original draft.”
So there we have it, after locking lips with Aishwarya Rai (Dhoom) and Barbara Mori (Kites), we will see Hrithik Roshan smooching Katrina too. For three steamy minutes. Source
