Watch out for ‘more intimacy’ in ‘Dedh Ishqiya’

2013-06-24T15:41:00.000+02:00

“Dedh Ishqiya”, will go “much further” in intimacy than “Ishqiya”. Actor Arshad Warsi is said to have some steamy lovemaking scenes with co-star Huma Qureshi, while even Madhuri Dixit has uninhibitedly shot for some cosy scenes with Naseeruddin Shah.
For those who saw Abhishek Choubey’s “Ishqiya” three years ago, the film’s raw sexual energy between Arshad and Vidya Balan still remains vivid. But according to a source close to the project Huma and Arshad “have pulled out all stops” making the lovemaking scenes in “Ishqiya” look like “a teaser trailer, and foreplay before the actual act”.
That’s not all. Madhuri, who makes a comeback in “Dedh Ishqiya”, has also done some intimate scenes with Naseeruddin.
Director Abhishek Choubey said: “We shot their intimate romantic moments at the very beginning of the shooting. They’ve come out very beautifully. But let me state Madhuri’s character is very different from Vidya’s in ‘Ishqiya’.
“Madhuri plays a Begum who lives in a palace in Lucknow. Since this is again ‘ishqiya’, we once again explore the various aspects of love and romance. What we discover in the relationship between Madhuriji and Naseer-saab is very different from the earlier relationsip between Vidya and Arshad.
“While Vidya’s intimate scenes were earthy and raw, Madhuri-ji’s amorous moments with Naseer-saab are approached with a lot of dignity.”
Choubey says he has created two kinds of world and languages in “Dedh Ishqiya”.
“One is the world of Naseer-saab and Arshad’s characters being carried over from the first film. The other is the genteel aristocratic world of Madhuri that we introduce in this film. There is shaayari and mushaaira. But there’s also Arshad’s cruder expressions,” he said.
Huma Qureshi plays Madhuri’s friend and confidante in “Dedh Ishqiya”.
“Huma was very excited about working with Madhuri. She plays Madhuri’s kaneez(woman Friday). Her scenes with Madhuri are very special. I was in a dilemma about the casting of this role since Kangna Ranaut opted out. I was uncertain about what would happen.
“I knew Huma from earlier when she worked in ‘Ek Thi Daayan’, where I was a co-producer. So we are friends. Ultimately, Huma turned out to be the right choice and I haven’t stopped congratulating myself for choosing her. In many ways, Huma’s is the most complex character in ‘Dedh Ishqiya’,” said Choubey.
Now only the climax of the film remains to be shot. The film is expected to release in January 2014.

Ajay Devgan takes Marathi lessons from wife Kajol

2011-07-20T12:13:00.000+02:00

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn turned to his half-Maharashtrian wife, actress Kajol for help when he was required to deliver dialogues fluently in Marathi for his role in Reliance Entertainment’s “Singham”.
Ajay, who plays a tough senior inspector Bajirao Singham in the action movie, has a few scenes where he had to speak in Marathi, and he wanted to perfect it.
Since Kajol, whose mother Tanuja is a Maharashtrian, has a good hold on the language, she was more than excited to help her husband. She taught Ajay how to pronounce a few words authentically, and he picked up the accent within minutes.
“Singham”, releasing July 22, is directed by Rohit Shetty. It is a remake of Tamil film “Singam”.

Amitabh Bachchan-I don’t believe in the caste system

2011-07-20T11:58:00.000+02:00

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who will be seen in a film themed on caste-based reservations, says he doesn’t believe in the caste system, has never faced any bias because of his caste and is proud that his father gave him a surname that doesn’t denote any such thing.

“If ever I have faced a rejection or a failure, it has been on the basis of my incapability to do something and never my caste,” Amitabh, 68, told IANS in an interview.

“I think rejection because of incapability is right because if I’m not capable of doing a particular work, the other person has the right to disapprove of me or reject me. Like, I lost in politics because

I was not capable, not because I was of a particular caste,” added Big B, who is a legend in the Hindi film industry with several hits like “Sholay” and “Deewar”.

In “Aarakshan”, directed by Prakash Jha and releasing Aug 12, Amitabh will be seen as the principal of a private educational institution. Themed on caste-based reservations in educational institutions, “Aarakshan” revolves around Prabhakar Anand (Amitabh), an idealistic principal, and his loyal disciple Deepak Kumar (Saif Ali Khan).

Traditional Indian society is based on social hierarchy created by the caste system.

But Amitabh said he never believed in the caste system because of his upbringing. “I never understood the caste system because I was born and brought up in a family and in an atmosphere that never ever preached caste or believed in it,” said Amitabh, eldest son of late Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan.

“I feel very proud because I am the first bearer of a name that was started by my father which has no cast reference at all. My father, perhaps, was the very first individual in the city of Allahabad to have undergone an inter-caste marriage in those times.

“He married a Sikh. He was a Kayasth from UP (Uttar Pradesh). When the question came about of my admission in school and the teachers asked what is the surname, my father said he didn’t want the surname to bear any kind of caste reflection and therefore his pen name became my surname.

“So I’m very proud of the fact that I was the originator of the Bachchan name, which is casteless, if surnames are an indication of any kind of caste,” he added.

Amitabh’s family boasts of secular credentials. While his father married a Sikh, he himself is married to a Bengali (Jaya Bachchan). His son (Abhishek Bachchan) is married to a Kannadiga (Aishwarya Rai) and his daughter (Shweta Nanda) has tied the knot with a Punjabi (Nikhil Nanda).

When asked what could be done to break the caste barriers and change the situation in the country , he said: “Many attempts have been made… everywhere I have gone, where we have discussed this, we haven’t really come across a solution. It is something that we have inherited. Our social structure has been developed in this manner. We have to live with it. But I hope something can be done.”

Speaking on the film “Aarakshan”, which also stars Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Prateik Babbar and Manoj Bajpai in pivotal roles, Amitabh said director Jha helped him understand the subject quite a bit.

“I wasn’t as conversant as perhaps Prakashji about the subject because I never paid attention to it and never thought about it because I don’t believe in it. When I met Prakashji and he talked about the film, I came to know various aspects which were very convincingly and adequately explained to me during the making of the film,” said Amitabh, who has so far featured in about 180 movies.

Everyone is talking about the fact that Bebo still thinks Shahid to be the sexiest.

Percept Picture Company is going to come up with its next project titled ‘Commissioner’, which is based on the life of Indian Premiere League chairman Lalit Modi, seen from the eyes of a journalist. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was reportedly offered to play Lalit Modi’s role in the movie and he allegedly rejected the offer in spite of getting a personal request from Modi himself.
Apparently, SRK does not want to get into any controversy as he is such an important part of the IPL. He is probably trying to keep himself away from any controversy related to Modi.

Shailendra Singh, the Joint MD of Percept, who is also the producer of ‘Commissioner’, confirmed that Shah Rukh was approached to play the role of Lalit Modi. He added that SRK denied even when Lalit Modi himself asked him to take it up.
Singh also said that Shah Rukh is very busy and too involved with Ra One, which is his home production.
As per the latest developments, Ajay Devgn has been offered to play the role now. Confirming this Singh said that Ajay has been sent feelers and they would love to have him. He added that the investment team is ready and they are committed to make this movie.
In fact, Irrfan Khan was also said to have been approached for the role. Apart from actors, the film has also switched hands in directorial part too. Initially, Madhur Bhandarkar was approached for directing the movie but he did not want to take up this controversial project. Now, Shamin Desai has been finalized to direct the movie, the source added.

The much talked movie of Bollywood Ra One, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor, has finally announced its release date. The high budget sc-fi movie is scheduled to hit the theaters on June 3, 2011.
Anubhav Sinha has directed this movie in which SRK turns superhero for the first time in his almost two decade long career in Bollywood.

Speaking about his character in the movie SRK said that his character is called G.One, who is made of solid electricity. G.One has entered this real world from a virtual one to combat against the evil force called Ra One.

Shahrukh Khan Enthralls Dhaka Fans

2010-12-16T11:06:00.000+02:00

Bollywood King Khan Shah Rukh Khan received a grand welcome in Dhaka when he performed there along with colleagues Rani Mukerji and Arjun Rampal. SRK was there to perform at the show ‘King Khan Live in Dhaka’ and he was supposed to campaign to make Sundarban’s mangrove forests as one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
However, the adulation by the audience was so lucrative that King Khan probably forgot about the serious job! Shah Rukh even greeted the fans in Bengali saying that he has brought good wishes from India to this nation of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who was the founding leader of Bangladesh. SRK performed on his popular numbers like ‘Dard-e–disco’ and ‘Shava Shava’.
Rani, who is a Bengali, thrilled the audience when he started speaking in Bengali. She also performed on her hit tracks like ‘Hum Tum. ‘Saathiya’ and ‘Shava Shava’.
When both Rani and SRK charmed the Bengali audience in
Dhaka, Arjun Rampal was also not left behind. He made a dramatic entry on a motorbike and yelled to the audience in his broken Bengali. The handsome actor said that he has come to Dhaka even when he is not keeping well. He is here so that his fans in the country are not left disappointed.
Earlier, the organizers of the show claimed that Shah Rukh will promote the mangrove forests of Sunderban but it was not done. So, is it done intentionally or Shah Rukh really forgot about it? The answer is only with the organizers or King Khan himself!

Shahrukh Khan: Turning All Foes Into Friends

2010-12-16T11:03:00.000+02:00

Shahrukh Khan the King of Bollywood has certainly been in the news these days due to the fact that two of his biggest films are due to release this coming year, one being Faran Akhtar’s Don 2 and the other being his home production RA.ONE.

However there is something else that SRK is being spoken about quite appreciatively. Now what could that be?
Well the fact that Shahrukh Khan had recently gone on to publicly acknowledge the fact that his animosity between the two top names in the industry- Salman Khan and Farah Khan could well be due to his own fault.
Now, this bit of amazing revelation coming out right from the King of B town’s mouth was quite surprising to one and all.
Shahrukh Khan has always maintained silence while there has been a crack in his relationship between Salman Khan due to some ruckus on Katrina Kaif’s birthday bash a couple of years ago and him and even with Farah Khan as reports are that he was quite upset that Farah had not taken him in her latest venture Tees Maar Khan. SRK has never ever come out with what the trouble between him and Salman Khan was or with Farah Khan is.

But now it seems that SRK is trying to clear away all the sad memories and the misunderstandings with his foes and is trying to turn them into friends.
Well let’s hope that the New Year sees a lot of change in the relationship status of these three and Shahrukh makes up with both Salman and Farah-then perhaps we can see a Karan Arjun type movie with SRK and Salman as on screen brothers!

Hrithik Roshan to hit again with ‘Krrish 2′

2010-07-14T00:25:00.000+03:00

Rakesh Roshan has taken the failure of Kites very seriously and hence planning to hit back with a sequel of 2006 hit film Krrish starring his son Hrithik Roshan.
The father son duo has given three films together till now, which includes Hrithik’s debut movie Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai then Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish. All the three movies were highly appreciated and did a good box office business.
Rakesh had planned for a sequel of Krrish earlier too but it never materialized. However, the debacle of Kites has made him work on it very seriously to make Hrithik stand tall in the top list again. The earlier plan of Krrish 2 was mainly cancelled due to the extra special effects in Avatar, which was released at the end of 2009.
According to the sources, “Roshans have already started meetings for the sequel of Krrish. They have taken the debacle of Kites very seriously. All the three films Rakesh made with his son Hrithik were big hits so they want to ensure the combination creates history again”.
The source added, “After giving those hits, Rakesh wanted to take a break from direction and start producing films. Among all these, Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra was supposed to direct Krrish 2. They conducted several meetings for this but it got dissolved”.
However, whatever be the reason, the audience will get to see their favorite Indian superhero back on the big screen. This time, it is expected to be much entertaining than the first one.

Bollywood Stars at The World Cup Finals

2010-07-14T00:09:00.000+03:00

At first, it seemed that like actor John Abraham, Anil Kapoor too would not be able to make it to the World Cup finals. By Saturday evening Anil Kapoor had still not left for the World Cup. And it was unlikely that he would do so.
Finally he did make it.
Sighed Anil, “Some work had come up. It looked like I wouldn’t be able to go to Johannesburg although I was booked packed and had seats in the stadium. But I finally did make it. I am the brand ambassador and this is the biggest sports event. I somehow made it”, said Anil on Saturday evening as he left for South Africa.
Another football enthusiast Dino Morea too seemed unsure of making it to Johannesburg. “I’m in London all set to go. But my air ticket is not confirmed. If it doesn’t happen I’ll just have to watch it on television here in London.”
Dino is a huge football fan. “I play football and I love watching it. I was supporting Italy because I am half-Italian. Now I’m supporting Spain because they’ve never won the World Cup.”
The football fever has never been more pronounced in Bollywood. With the World Cup Finals around the corner many stars have taken off for Johannesburg to witness the grand finals.
Sanjay Dutt left his pregnant wife in Mumbai to be with his two non-filmy best-friends from South Africa (name withheld on request) for the finals.
Says Sanju, “I wouldn’t miss the World Cup for the world. I’m a huge football fan. I place it above cricket in my scheme of joy. I watched the silliest of games in the semi-finals. For the finals I had to be here (in Johannesburg)”.
Dutt is rooting for Spain all the way. So is Jackky Bhagnani. Producer Vashu Bhagnani’s son has apparently secured some of best seats in the stadium for himself and his five friends from Mumbai.
Speaking on the eve of the match from Johannesburg, Jackky exulted, “Man, I’ve the best view possible! I could never afford these seats. They are among the best in the stadium. An industrialist friend from Russia got me these seats. I can’t express my excitement. I feel like an 8-year old who has got his favorite toy. My friends and I have our tee-shirts, caps, and flags ready. We’re rooting for Spain all the way”.
Adding to Jackky’s excitement is the fact that this is the first World Cup match he’s attending.
Shah Rukh Khan and Imran Khan have already tweeted about their presence in Johannesburg for the World Cup finals. Shah Rukh’s best friend Karan Johar couldn’t make it.

Stability of the Indian film The Italian Job in New Zealand

New Zealand, July 12 (IANS) After "I Hate Luv Storys", partly shot in the beautiful Queenstown city of New Zealand, another big-budget Bollywood movie, a remake of "The Italian Job", is scheduled to be filmed here towards the end of the year.
Director duo Abbas-Mustan has signed Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor for the remake. A crew of 90 to 100 from India will fly down for about 50 days of shooting, a New Zealand Tourism statement said.
"The producers have been in New Zealand, scouting for scenes and camera staff. The movie will be shot in Auckland and Wellington, with Auckland's Viaduct Basin - in the city's vibrant downtown waterside area - targeted for the big car chase scenes," the statement added.
The project will have a budget of around NZ$43 million (US$30 million/Rs 1.4 billion). Abbas-Mustan say that no compromises will be made to make sure the latest version of "The Italian Job" is as good as the original.
"We're going to Indianise 'The Italian Job'. We'll add roles for two heroines. We might even have an American actress in the film. And the villain will be played by one of the top heroes. We want to make it better than the original," Abbas-Mustan said.
Michael Caine starred in the original 1969 version of "The Italian Job". A 2003 remake with Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron and Donald Sutherland was also a commercial success.

'Kites' TV premiere on June 27

2010-06-11T10:51:00.000+03:00

"We endeavour to bring the biggest Bollywood blockbusters to our viewers, right in the comfort of their homes. With 'Kites', we begin a long and potentially fruitful association with Reliance BIG Pictures with whom we have signed a much larger deal and will be showcasing a whole range of popular movies from their library in the days to com"," Gaurav Gandhi, CEO and head (international business), Viacom18, said.

'Kites', which also features Mexican actress Barbara Mori, is produced by Rakesh Roshan and distributed by Reliance BIG Pictures. It released worldwide on May 21 but didn't do well at the box office despite a promising opening.

Colors has previously premiered films like 'Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani' and 'Blue' even before the movies were taken off cinema halls.

'Idol' finalist Casey James: 'I'm happy with where I landed'

2010-05-22T10:34:00.000+03:00

American Idol contestant Casey James initially charmed judge Kara DioGuardi with his looks — and then charmed America with his musicianship and mellow talent, which carried him all the way to the top three. USA TODAY caught up with James, 27, in a conference call Friday with the media.
Q: After you got the results, Kara told you to stick to your demographic — young girls and women. Were you offended by that, and do you think you're a bit more well-rounded as an artist?
A: I would like to hope so. But I definitely am not offended. That's her opinion. I know nothing of demographics, and my marketing skills are obviously poor — I wouldn't have been doing the same bar gigs for 11 years (if they weren't). But I'd like to think that I have a few more people out there who like what I'm doing

'Shrek 4' to cost $20 in some NYC movie theaters

2010-05-22T10:32:00.000+03:00

Four popular movie theaters in New York City have announced the ticket prices for the upcoming Shrek Forever After and for the first time ever, IMAX 3D prices have reached the $20 threshold. The theaters are: AMC Kips Bay, AMC Loews 34th street, AMC Loews Lincoln Square, and the AMC Empire 42nd street. Says media analyst Richard Greenfield of the move: "With the state of the economy remaining questionable, we worry pricing is simply moving up too quickly. The danger is scaring consumers away from the movie theaters." The new price hike follows a recent round of price increases in March, where theaters in NYC raised IMAX and 3D prices as much as 25 percent. At the time, AMC 34th charged $19.50 for the IMAX 3D showing of "How to Train Your Dragon." While the price may scare away a number of consumers, AMC seems to think it is worth the risk, given the recent string of blockbuster successes in IMAX 3D showings, including 'Avatar,' 'Dragon' and 'Alice in Wonderland.' Box office revenue is up 6 percent year-on-year, mainly due to increased price tickets

Watts returns to Cannes, where her star was born

2010-05-22T10:25:00.000+03:00

CANNES, France — Naomi Watts had been on the verge of giving up on Hollywood before she came to the Cannes Film Festival nine years ago.

Her own horror franchise, a hit "King Kong" remake and one Academy Award nomination later, Watts returned as a Cannes superstar, lighting up the festival red carpet in two films, the Valerie Plame drama "Fair Game" and Woody Allen's "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger."

Other than a quick stop to hand out an award at Cannes a few years ago, this was Watts' first time back to the festival since it helped launch her career after years of toiling in obscure movies.

Her breakthrough came with a starring role in David Lynch's "Mulholland Dr.", which played at Cannes in 2001.

"It was my career-maker. Anything that I had done was under the radar, so I really was an actor for hire. And then the launching of that film was the launching of me," Watts, 41, said in an interview along the beach near the Palais, the headquarters of the French Riviera festival.

Watts — who was born in England and moved as a teenager with her family to Australia — had been working in obscurity through much of the 1990s in Hollywood, seeing good friend Nicole Kidman climb to stardom while she remained on the fringes.

She often considered packing it in and giving up acting.

"Several times, literally and metaphorically speaking, I packed my bags. Many, many times, and every time, there'd be some little thing that would lure me back," Watts said. "Because ultimately, my heart was set on something, on this whole thing. I mean, I love what I do. I don't always love everything about it, but I love as an actor that you're given a chance to tell stories and move people, hopefully, and help them connect with their own stories."

After "Mulholland Dr." premiered at Cannes, Watts' career finally took off. She earned the lead in the hit horror remake "The Ring" and starred in its sequel. She took on the role Fay Wray originated in the 1933 "King Kong" for director Peter Jackson's mammoth remake. She earned a best-actress Oscar nomination for "21 Grams" opposite Sean Penn, her co-star in "Fair Game."

Watts' personal life has changed dramatically since that first trip to Cannes. She and boyfriend Liev Schreiber, with whom she starred in the drama "The Painted Veil," have two young sons.

Director Doug Liman wanted Watts to star as former CIA covert operative Plame for the same reason he wanted Matt Damon for the title role of "The Bourne Identity" — to help the audience empathize with a character from the unsavory world of espionage.

"It's like a beaming light of warmth and goodness that comes from Naomi Watts, and I thought if I cast her, I could be as hard-edged as I want with Valerie Plame, and you will still root for her. You will still love her, and you will still care for her," Liman said.

"She was going to be lying to her friends, lying to her husband, lying to the people she meets in the field, who can't know that she's a CIA officer."

Plame's cover was blown when officials in President George W. Bush's administration leaked her identity to reporters after Plame's husband wrote an opinion piece questioning White House statements to justify going to war in Iraq.

"Fair Game" depicts the political firestorm that swirled around Plame and husband Joe Wilson (Penn), who carried on his own media barrage against the Bush administration while his wife initially shunned speaking out in public. Plame and Wilson joined Watts and her "Fair Game" collaborators at Cannes for the film's premiere.

Watts also came to Cannes with festival regular Allen, who cast her alongside Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas and Josh Brolin as a woman in a crumbling marriage in the ensemble comedy "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger."

Allen had sought Watts for two previous films, but her schedule had not allowed her to sign on.

"I was nervous about never being invited back," Watts said. "It's a career milestone. I'd grown up watching his films and just loved every second of it. He's one of the true greats."

"Fair Game" and "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" are due in theaters this fall.

Returning to Cannes and marching up the festival's swooping red carpet reminded Watts of her trip there nine years earlier with "Mulholland Dr.," when she was a virtual unknown.

"What a memorable experience it was for me. The first time with such a great director, such a great role, such a great film, and it really seemed to move people," Watts said. "I just remember every detail very, very vividly. I remember what song was playing when I walked up that red carpet" — Cat Stevens' "Morning Has Broken."

"I remember that song breaking out just as I was opening the door to my car, and I mean, I had to do everything I could just to stop myself from crying, running my makeup, so to speak."

Megan Fox not in 'Transformers 3'; director Michael Bay seeks new starlet

2010-05-20T23:06:00.000+03:00

The robots have kicked Megan Fox to the curb - or did the sexy starlet ditch them?
The dark-haired beauty, who has graced dozens of magazine covers since her breakout role in the first "Transformers" film in 2007, has been dumped from its second sequel.
Paramount Pictures has reported that they have opted not to pick up Fox's option for "Transformers 3," and according to Nikki Finke at Deadline.com, it was director Michael Bay who made the call.
"Giving Shia a new love interest [for Shia LeBeouf's character] makes more sense for the story," an insider said, according to Finke.
Fox's PR pals have come out swinging, however, in either an effort to get the record straight or peform a bit of career repair.
"It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best," reps for 24-year-old actress told People.com.
Fox likely earned Bay's wrath in September when she publically slammed the high-octane director, comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
"[Michael] wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation," she told Wonderland Magazine. "He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for."
Fox did note, however, that off the set he was nicer to be with.
"When you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward," she said. "He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant."
"She says some very ridiculous things," Bay responded at the time. "And she still has a lot of growing up to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, 'Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want.'"
However, Fox's dismissals comes as something of a surprise, since Bay suggested on his blog in October that he was looking forward to working with her again.
"P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back," he said. "I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture."
Bay and Paramount are now seeking out a suitable replacement. According to reports, the bevy of beauties that could replace Fox include Emmanuelle Chiriqui ("Entourage"), Zoe Saldana ("Avatar," "Star Trek") and models Bar Rafaeli and Brooklyn Decker
