Sharman Joshi To Give Lectures On Cinema In Mumbai University

This might come as a surprise to many but the FERRARI KI SAWARI team - Sharman Joshi, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani are apparently thinking to become lecturers.
It was recently reported that after a long span of 18 years the Ferrari team had managed to get shooting permission at the University of Mumbai. The University is a 130-year-old magnificent heritage building and getting permission is quite a hard task and the University only agreed to grant permission after thoroughly scrutinising the scene.
Now close sources reveal that the FERRARI KI SAWAARI team had written a letter to the authorities to thank and appreciate them for their extended co-operation and support that helped them to complete their shoot successfully.
Interestingly, in response the officials requested if they could get Sharman Joshi, their lead actor, Rajkumar Hirani and Vinod Chopra to teach their students about Cinema.
Director Rajesh Mapuskar says, “It was extremely nice of the University officials to allow us to shoot in their premises, it was extremely important for the film. We wrote to thank them for their support and they wanted Vinod sir, Raju sir and Sharman to come and give a lecture on Cinema. Since both are traveling, we plan to co-ordinate the same and make sure it happens. It’s the least we can do for the courtesy extended.”
We’re sure the students will have a good time listening to Sharman Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Source

Kajol Is Honoured With Padma Shri For Her Contribution To The Indian Cinema

The legendary actors Kajol, Tabu and Irrfan Khan and singer Usha Uthup have been named for the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian honour on the eve of Republic Day, today.
Kajol started her career with Bekhudi and then went on to become one of the most loved actresses in Bollywood with films like Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and so on. Tabu, on the other hand, has been known for creating a niche for herself with films like Chandni Bar, Astitva, Maqbool, The Namesake and Cheeni Kum. Irrfan Khan can undoubtedly be called as the international Indian face with films like The Namesake, A Mighty Heart, Slumdog Millionaire to his credit. Usha Uthup started as a famous pop singer in Bollywood in the 70s and became a rage for her unique heavy voice and singing style. Her songs like ‘Ek Do Cha Cha Cha’, ‘Shaan Se’, ‘Hari Om Hari’,'Rambha Ho’ and ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ are evergreen classics.
Veteran actors Shashi Kapoor and Waheeda Rehman have been honoured with Padma Bhushan. Shashi Kapoor’s films like Jab Jab Phool Khile, Waqt, Silsila, Deewar, Kabhi Kabhie, Satyam Shivam Sundaram and many more have appealed to the audiences of all generations. He also featured in international projects titled The Householder, Shakespearewallah and Heat and Dust. Unfortunately, this senior actor has not been keeping well for a while now.
Waheeda Rehman is known as one of the most beautiful women seen on the silver screen. She started her career with Man Ki Jeet in 1944 and then went on to feature in cult classics like Pyasa, Kaagaz Ke Phool, Saheb Bibi Aur Gulam, Guide, Reshma Aur Shera and many more. Source
