Abhishek Bachchan Is Indeed A Hot Property

Abhishek Bachchan has at least half a dozen films (Game, Dum Maro Dum, Bol Bachchan, Players, Department etc.), lined up for release in next two years with his date diary being totally booked. Now for an actor who hasn’t enjoyed the best year of his career in 2010 (with ‘Raavan’ and ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se’), one would have expected something on the contrary.
“In a way this also reflects the shortage of known names, let alone saleable ones, that we have in Bollywood today”, rues a trade expert, “How many films can you expect the four Khans (Aamir, Salman, Shah Rukh, Saif), Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn or Hrithik Roshan to do? We have only these seven names if you have to think of an actor with a mature personality. Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Imran Khan are more suited for younger roles.”
“This is the reason why one continues to remember Abhishek’s solo hits like ‘Guru’ and ‘Bunty Aur Babli’”, a senior film maker comments on condition of anonymity, “Ok, so these films may seem to have arrived centuries ago but the fact remains that Abhishek has proved himself at the least. The Bachchan tag also means that he would ensure good product visibility at the least. In that sense, the makers would save some time, money and energy in hard selling their film which would otherwise not be the case if they take someone else who is either lower down the order or a relatively new face.”
Well, this is indeed a point to ponder over. What do you think? Source

Madhavan Is Indeed On A Roll

R. Madhavan is indeed riding a high wave at the moment. His first release for 2011, Tanu Weds Manu , which co-stars Kangana Ranaut, had its trailer released and it is getting very positive feedback. Not only that his last release in Tamil film industry from 2010, Manmadhan Ambu is being lapped up by the audience with enormous praise for his role as Madhanagopal, a millionaire businessman that is highly suspicious of his actress fiancée, played by newcomer Trisha. The film also stars legendary actor Kamal Haasan.
The actor is over the moon by the positive response to his acting in Manmadhan Ambu with most compliments referring to his “drunken” act - there is a significant portion of the movie that his character is constantly drinking on screen. So ecstatic was the actor at compliments from his fans on twitter, he even apologised to his other followers as he retweeted some of their tweets, both good and bad: “Do forgive me for da retweets PPL-so tough to contain myself- am a Huge Kamal sir devotee-just 2dy pls unfollow for 2day if this is unbearable,” he says.
The collaboration of Kamal Haasan and Madhavan has proven quite fruitful for the actor where appreciation is concerned. Whether it’s the bratty city-bred youth of Anbe Sivam, whose life changes as he travels with a stranger played by Kamal or the small town cook that travels to another country for his family’s well being in Kamal’s own production Nala Damayanthi, which became Ramji Londonwaley two years later in 2005, the actor has taken a change in character and stepped up with his acting.
Although he spent the holidays in Dubai, the actor is said to be organising a special bash for his “guru as he calls, Kamal Haasan, as a means to bond with the legend who has completed 50 years in the industry, an illustrious career most would die for. “I love to bond with Kamal Haasan. He is an icon and institution and one gets to learn from him so much that it’s always a pleasure,” the 3 idiots actors said to Time of India.
His next film, the highly anticipated Tanu Weds Manu is set for release on 25th February. Source
