Priyanka Chopra’s Elderly Image In ‘7 Khoon Maaf’

‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ is a Vishal Bhardwaj film in which, Priyanka Chopra essays various characters, ranging from a young twenty something girl to a sixty-years old lady. Buzz has it that Hollywood make-up artists diligently worked on Priyanka’s character Suzanna (a sixty-five year old lady), which was modelled on her mother and grandmother’s pictures.
Apparently, Priyanka considers ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ as her toughest film. Talking to a daily about the film, the actress quipped, “It has been the most challenging part any actor could play. Playing Suzanna was tough for someone like me, who is still in her 20s. During most bits of shooting, I relied completely on Vishal sir, because I had no clue how I was going to take my character forward.”
When enquired about her middle-aged character in the film, Priyanka said, “It was difficult to imagine myself as a 50 year-old woman. How does someone that old walk, talk? I decided to fashion my character on my mother. Not that she is a killer!”
Bhardwaj’s ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ is based on Ruskin Bond’s ‘Susanna’s Seven’ story, where a femme fatale kills her seven husbands.
Elaborating about Suzanna’s portrayal, Priyanka said, “When we did our research, we learnt that Indian women don`t age that fast. The make-up artists arrived from Drag Studio, the firm that worked on ‘Benjamin Button’ and ‘Lord of the Rings’. The artists took snaps of my mom, bua, and my grandmom to see how women in my family have aged. And they designed my look accordingly.” Source

There Is Someone Who Dreams Of Working With Hrithik & Madhuri

“I have always been very fond of Madhuri. I love almost all of her songs and her dance is incomparable. Today`s actresses don`t come close to her dance and expressions. She is so flexible, so emotive - for me, she is completely like lady Michael Jackson,” Remo told reporters.
Just as he picked up the art of dancing by watching Jackson`s videos, Remo also tried to emulate Madhuri`s filmy steps.
“Once, very long time back, I had to train one girl for a competition…that time I learnt all of Madhuri`s steps in `Ek do teen` to teach the girl. Madhuri was fabulous in it. But my favourite song featuring her is `Humko aajkal hai` from the film `Sailaab`,” he said.
Remo vied for many years to meet Madhuri - in studios, at film shootings and screenings, but his big chance came when he was asked to share the stage with her as the judge of Sony TV`s “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4?.
“I was overjoyed on meeting Madhuri. She has been my favourite all through,” said the choreographer, who feels Prabhu Deva and Hrithik Roshan are the only two Indian male stars, who can dance like MJ.
Now the hip-hop specialist has a wish to make Madhuri and Hrithik dance to his tunes.
“I feel Hrithik will do complete justice to my style of dancing. There aren`t too many actors who can dance well…he is the best among the current lot,” he said. Source

Emraan Hashmi Is Flying High On His Film’s Success

After making a career out of playing a bad boy in majority of his films, Emraan Hashmi is relieved that now he also has a comic success up his sleeves. His DIL TOH BACCHA HAI JI has shown an escalation at the box office after taking a decent start and is pretty much in a comfort zone now with weekend collections expected to be around the 15 crores mark.
“Yes, this was my first out and out comedy and I am glad it has turned out to be a positive outing”, says Emraan who had to convince himself before coming on board for this Madhur Bhandarkar directed film.
He had all the right reasons to be apprehensive though. After all, his earlier attempt at comedy was a disaster with JAWAANI DEEWANI resulting in quite a few detractors pouncing on him due to film’s ‘below the belt’ humour.
“Technically, I still don’t consider that film as a comedy”, says Emraan with a straight face, “JAWAANI DEEWANI went into a completely weird space and the slapstick humour there didn’t work at all. I knew there and then that if I had to attempt a comedy, it had to be situational and funny.”
No wonder, today he is smiling the most with his conviction in DTBHJ coming true. “Yeah, this experience was far better”, he says with a broad smile, “A funny situational comedy like this is anytime welcome.”
Well, seems like here is one actor who may just about change tracks now! Source

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

Was Priyanka Trying To Provoke Kareena ?

Last Friday, Kareena Kapoor drove down from Pune to Mumbai to shoot for her televised act for an award function. What should’ve ended in a matter of hours took forever thanks to Priyanka Chopra.
After finishing her make-up and hair, Bebo arrived on the stage to find it occupied by her arch rival PC. She had to wait for four hours before she could shoot her performance. Reveals a source present at the awards, “Kareena landed at Yash Raj Studios around midnight she found the stage occupied by Priyanka.
She waited patiently for a few minutes. On spotting her, PC came down from the stage and told Bebo that she couldn’t give up the stage till 1 am (though the latter had been assigned the stage at 12 am).”
Ms Chopra continued to rehearse till 4 am, at which time, the exhausted Kapoor girl decided to go home. The following morning, Bebo asked her manager Zahid to cancel her shooting (with Salman Khan for Bodyguard) for Saturday in Pune and then returned to the studio to finish her song. Source

Ranbir Kapoor Was Made A Laughing Point By Ajay Devgn

This new year has indeed transformed Ajay Devgn from a reticent, no-nonsense star to a chilled-out humorous guy. It seems Ajay all of a sudden loves his newfound witty side.
After taking pot-shots at Kareena and Saif, Ajay made fun of Bollywood’s blue-eyed boy Ranbir Kapoor and his good old friend Salman Khan in Karan Johar’s ‘Koffee with Karan’.
Confirming the reports to a daily, a source from the channel said, “Normally known to be reserved, Ajay appeared to have cast aside all his inhibitions on this show. Initially Devgn said that he didn`t want to come on Koffee because he was scared that Karan Johar would ask him controversial questions. But, Ajay said quite a lot as he got into the flow of the conversation.”
“It`s become quite fashionable to pull down Ranbir Kapoor on KWK these days. Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor did it earlier and now even Ajay did not spare Ranbir. In the rapid-fire section, Karan asked Ajay what he was most likely to find in Ranbir Kapoor`s bedroom. Ajay said with a straight face, ‘I don`t know what I will find, who I will find and how many I will find!’ referring to Ranbir`s so-called many girlfriends. Even Karan was stunned with Ajay`s frankness and for a second didn`t know where to look,” said the source.
Apparently, Ajay even joked about his old friend Salman Khan. The source continued, “When KJo asked Ajay what he expected to find in Salman`s bedroom, Ajay replied blandly, “I am likely to find `dumb-bells` in Salman`s bedroom.` Though Karan burst out laughing at that, he was in splits when Ajay was asked what would be the best title for Salman`s biography. Ajay replied promptly, “Trying to be human!”
Surprisingly, Karan was quite taken aback by Ajay`s new avatar as the source added, “Karan has known Ajay only as his close friend Kajol`s husband. On the show KJo was pleasantly surprised to find this new witty side to AJ (as Kajol calls Devgn). Ajay said at the end of the show that he hoped no one`s feelings got hurt because it was meant to be taken lightly and in good humour.” Source
