Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

The first time teaming up of Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, is running in its 13th year at Maratha Mandir cinema in Bombay.

The film entered its 679th week in Bombay on 17th October 2008, which means that it recently entered its 14th year in Bombay. But since it was released at Maratha Mandir a few weeks after its premiere release, it is in its 13th year at Maratha Mandir. And in these 13 years, eight prints of the film have been changed. The film is being screened with the ninth print currently. Of course, it goes without saying that the film yields a share every week even now!

Well, that must be another addition to the innumerable records that DDLJ already has

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Marriage

It is one more celebrity couple..!! Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman fell in love during the making of their movie “Days of Thunder”, 1990. Since then they started dominating the media for gossips.!!
At once even Tom Cruise, admitted that his first reaction to meeting Kidman was “sheer lust.” But later they became so close that they couldn’t spend a day without talking to each other.
Tom and Kidman got married on December 24, 1990 in Telluride, Colorado. They adopted two children, i.e a daughter, Isabella Jane, born on 22nd December 1992 and a son, Connor Anthony, born on 17th January 1995.
Tom and Kidman on screen chemistry was so good that they made 3 movies together i.e “Days of Thunder” (1990), “Eyes Wide Shut” (1999) and “Far and Away” (1992). It was their love which started on the sets of “Days of Thunder” which made the couple’s chemistry damn good.
It is strange to know that during Tom Cruise marriage to Nicole Kidman there was a big controvercy about their sexual life as there were too much rumors that Tom Cruise was a gay..!! They filed a libel case against Express Newspapers in the same year. The tabloid alleged that their marriage was just designed to cover up their homosexuality. Ultimately the couple won the legal battle and Express Newspapers apologised for the article and paid huge amount as damages. Tom said : “I have to protect them. This was certainly not about money. Every penny of this very substantial sum will be donated to charities.”

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Marriage Love & Break up

Its all about the celebrity war or you may call it as Love. A saying goes “Everything is fair in love and war.” Lets just see what happened between them without being too judgemental.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Marriage and Break up

Brad Pitt met actress Jennifer Aniston in 1998 and they dated for two years. Brad Pitt married her in a lavish ceremony in Malibu on July 29, 2000. For years their marriage was considered as a rare Hollywood success and even they are referred as Hollywood’s golden couple. The couple have no children. In March 2005 Aniston filed for divorce petition in the local court. Their divorce was granted by the Los Angeles Superior Court on October 2, 2005, and ended their marriage.
No doubt there are much speculation about the break-up of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston and the role of Angelina Jolie in that. One rumor says that Pitt and Angelina Jolie were having an affair during the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. But both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie deny such romance. Some people say that it was inappropriate friendship of Brad Pitt and Angelina which led to the break up.
Later in January 2006, Jolie confirmed that she was pregnant with Pitt’s child and thereby confirmed their relationship for the first time in public. In an October 2006 interview Pitt said that he and Jolie decided to marry.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Love story

It was during the making of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fell in love. In an interview Angelina Jolie told that she never wanted to ruin Brad Pitt’s marriage to Jennifer Aniston but it just happened that way.
She said “I didn’t know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life. But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects.”
After the marriage with Brad she says “I’m starting to be able to see being 50 years old with the kids graduating from high school.”
It seems that she is mentally settled now and committed to her life. She just want a peaceful life with her beloved kids and of course Brad.

Brad Pitt about Aniston

“Jen and I still maintain a deep friendship and have a lot of life together that isn’t erased in any way.”
“She was a big part of my life, and me hers.”
“I don’t know how better to have handled [the split]. My view was, this was no one’s business in the end at least in matters of the heart, the thing guiding me then was, you don’t know how many days you have, and you need life to be everything you need it to be.”
“The thing that I don’t understand is looking at this as a failure. It’s talked about like it failed, I guess because it wasn’t flawless. I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful, actually. The idea that marriage has to be for all time, that I don’t understand.”
“The most important thing about that time was for Jen and me to figure out if how do I put it? if we didn’t want to go on without any outside influence. Is this where we got off? Have we taken this as far as we wanted to go?”
“It’s so complex and multifaceted. We’ve done it our way and I love her for that. We’ve kept the love we have for each other.”
“There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I’m responsible.”

Angelina Jolie about Brad Pitt

“Brad was a huge surprise to me, I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from. I think we were the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t,I was quite content to be a single mom.”
“Because of the film “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, ‘God, I can’t wait to get to work.”
“Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts — anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair.”
“Not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe. We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things. We remained very, very good friends – for a long time”
“We both have been married before, so it’s not marriage that’s necessarily kept some people together. We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that’s the most important thing.”
“I’m not a hugger. People make fun of me. It’s something that I have a hard time with. If someone hugs me, I hold my breath. Snuggling, cuddling, hugging, crying … all that stuff makes me very uncomfortable.”
“He’s a great challenge to me. We’re constantly in competition with each other. He’s somebody I admire based on the way he lives his life.”

Jennifer Aniston about Brad Pitt

“Pretty soon after we separated, we got on and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other.”
‘Well, it never was that bad. ‘I mean, look, it’s not like divorce is something that you go, “Oooh, I can’t wait to get divorced!” It doesn’t feel like a tickle. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so vague at this point, it’s so faraway in my mind. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn’t mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can’t talk to Jen and Jen can’t talk to Brad because this person won’t allow it. It just didn’t happen. The marriage didn’t work out.”
“Everybody always asks if we’re happy. Give me a break. We’re married two years. In Hollywood years, that’s forever.” [2002]
“It’s my experience. And if you don’t like the way it looks, then stop looking at it! Because I feel good. I don’t feel like I’m supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I’m not. I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”
Joint statement : “For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any speculation reported by the tabloid media – this decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration.We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another.”

Recent gossips..!!

Recently it was reported that Brad Pitt is trying to be in contact with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston. It is obvious that Angelina Jolie is upset about it.
Even after the break up Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are in good terms. Recently Brad Pitt has introduced his youngest child Shiloh, to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston. A source revealed that the meeting was very emotional and Aniston called the child ‘adorable’. But it seems that Angelina Jolie wasn’t happy about the get together..!!

His fans, don’t even care for that extra finger and some fans even like it a lot.
Hrithik Roshan said: “I had this extra thumb…I stammered and in school – you know what kids are like – well, it was hell most of the time. My being quiet and sensitive came about as a consequence. I never felt normal. I always felt abnormal. I always felt I did not fit in.”

Their super hit movie “Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge” which broke all the records of bollywood film industry has completed 600 weeks of continuous run in Indian theatres..!! And entered the Guinness Book of Records..!! The film had long broken the Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay record of running for five consecutive years, which was the only film creating such arecord earlier to DDLJ..!!
Their love story in DDLJ became eternal with the success of the film and people still feel them as the real hot couples in life. It is interesting to know that though they gave five consecutive blockbusters there were no gossips or any controversies..!! In fact Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are the only popular on screen couples who are known as good friends without any gossips.

Kajol quotes about SRK and movies

“I enjoy working with Shah Rukh, he gives absolutely superb attention to every detail in a scene. He is totally professional. His input improves every action. What is more, he hones emotional moments till each one is an artistic achievement. He includes the heroine in this effort and takes her through the scenes to achieve perfection. My style of working fits in perfectly with his. Our work ethic, style and attitude are the same. That’s why we can create magic on the screen.”
“K3G is a beautiful film, It gave me a perfect canvas to do a ‘romantic woman’ role rather than a mini-skirted, love-smitten nymphet’s role. The song “Suraj Hua Madham” lent a rare sensitivity to my screen romance with Shah Rukh. As choreographer Farah Khan said, this was a man-woman romance; not a girl-boy fascination. Our screen relationship had great depth and many dimensions. I had the pleasure of being the tomboy lover girl in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge with Shah Rukh and that too was fun.”
“I am thrilled that DDLJ has beaten all records, Shah Rukh Khan and I share a close friendship that translates onto the screen. We have such fun working together. Shah Rukh has a great sense of humour. He invests incredible energy into his acting. He reads a lot. I share all these with him. I love books. I love his style of working and abundant refinement. I love him to death and would like to work with him again.”

SRK quotes about Kajol

“We did not even know each other when we shot for DDLJ, At the first day’s shoot, we almost disliked each other. But we are the best of friends now and our relationship of respect, dignity, humour and support creates a rare chemistry on the screen.”
“She is open minded and does not mind discussing her work till she has perfected every move. She is open to learning from others. That is a great quality in a senior and acclaimed actor like her. She is great as a co-star and as a friend. Today, she is not working in films. But we still are close friends and exchange tips on parenting. Our friendship is priceless because it allows for many disagreements and a variety of opinions. We both are married and have our families. There is a beautiful clarity in our relationship yet, there is a great deal of mutual admiration and we share a wonderful bond of support and love.”

Other popular Screen couples of bollywood

The on screen chemistry is very rare in film industry and people cann’t just accept the couples so easily. There are very few good on screen couples like Raj Kapoor and Nargis, Dilip Kumar and Madhubala , Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri, Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, Amir Khan and Juhi Chawla, Govinda and Karishma Kapoor,Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon etc and at present Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol..!! Probably the hottest couples bollywood ever known..!!

Shahrukh Khan Gauri Wedding Marriage Shah Rukh Wife Gauri Khan Photo

Shahrukh Khan and Gauri: A real Love story and Wedding

You people will be surpriesed to know that the movie “Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge” is something similar to Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Love story…!! Strange but true..!! He claims those scenes were very much close to his own life story. It may be his own experience which made him to look so naturally in the movie..!!
Now come to the real love story, Shahrukh Khan fell in love with his next door girl Gauri in 1984, from then the legendry Love story begins..!! As you all know its not going to be so easy to marry a girl of our choice in India, so was in the love story. It was not just love marriage it was a inter-religion marriage..!! just imagine the seriousness of this great love story during times of 1980′s, even today we see many problems in love marriages though in same caste or same religion, then what about Hindu-Muslim marriage..? that too in 1980′s..!!! There was actually no hope of marriage, but our king khan had a hope..!!
Gauri parents opposed the marriage. They even made it clear to Shahrukh Khan. Even Gauri mother had threatened to commit suicide. It was really a tough time for Shah Rukh Khan. Despite of these hurdles they carried their love story for six long years clandestinely. Shahrukh started to convince all her relatives one by one. It took many years to do so and gradually everyone started liking him and even assured that her parents will also agree soon..!!
But that didn’t happen Gauri was locked up at home. She used to tell Shahrukh: “Shah Rukh, you don’t know my parents.. you take things so lightly” ..!! But Shahrukh never lost hope he just used to convince her, saying that they will be laughing at these things after few years. And thats what happened but in a different way..!!
Sharukh was too possessive about Gauri he was objecting whenever she used to wear swimsuit at the pool or even if she left her hair loose. He didn’t want other boys to see her beauty..!! But he was insanely possessive and it made her feel uncomfortable for sometime. All of a sudden she came to Mumbai with her friends without telling Shahrukh. He was extremely missing her. He told everything to his mother and she told him to bring his lovely girl home. Shahrukh and his friends left to Mumbai to search Gauri..!! You may not beleive this that he didnt even know the address or any details. But he knew only onething that Gauri loves beaches..!!
After few days he run out of money but didn’t get any clues of her whereabouts. He searched many beaches but didnt get to her. At last one rickshaw driver took them to a private beach. Gauri was there..!! She was standing in the water, wearing a T-shirt. She came over and hugged, and cried. It was then that Shahrukh realised how unreasonably possessive he was. He also realised that no one could ever love Gauri like him.

Shahrukh Khan & Gauri Marriage

Shahrukh Khan and Gauri married under strangest circumstances. They told Gauri parents that they already married. All of a sudden their family members started crying and the whole atmosphere was changed as if mourning. They never wanted to go against the wishes of their parents but they were helpless despite of seven long years of efforts he couldn’t convince her parents. They never thought of eloping. At last their parents had to accept it. Shahrukh had both registered and Hindu customary marriage on August 26th 1991 and on October 25, 1991 respectively.
As per law when a person wants to marry under Special Marrige Act ie registered marrige the name of both bride and groom will be put on notice board for one month. Hence the marriage efforts of Shahrukh and Gauri were no longer in secrecy. It was something strange to know that some Muslim organizations were doing protests before his house, against his marriage with a non-muslim. You must know that his mother being a social worker arranged many intercaste marriages earlier..!!
After the register marriage he had to undergo customary marriage rituals according to hindu tradition. On the wedding day Shahrukh had to pick her up from the house as the booked car didn’t come. During the ceremony he had the fun of riding a horse and elephant..!! The whole marriage ritual went on for hours. And finally Gauri becomes part of Khan’s life officially..!!

Wedding guests from bollywood

Then Shahrukh wasn’t well a established actor hence very few guests came from the film industry – Rajiv Mehra, Vivek Vaswani, Aziz Mirza and G.P. Sippy.

Shahrukh Khan words about Gauri:

“I love Gaurima because she is so honest and she complements me. Gauri teaches me how to be diplomatic. She keeps telling me that I say too many things and that I should not. Because people don’t know me well enough and then they completely misconstrue what I’ve said. So, it’s better to keep shut. She had taught me to switch the lights off before going to bed, To have dinner at the proper place, to put my clothes in the proper place, she has taught me how to dress up well too. She has turned me from an animal to a man. She spoils me a lot. She is the stabilizing factor in my life. I would go haywire because I am an extremist. And its not my achievements, for which she respects or likes me. She likes me because I make her laugh.”
The love story doesn’t end here, it BEGINS..!!!

Amir Khan Blog : Special things you must read..!! Aamir Blogs

Probably this is the best way to avoid confusion (or to create.??) ..!! As you all know sometimes the media misinterprets the words of actors and creates great confusion in the minds of fans and sell their paper excellently. Hence Aamir Khanhas found a best way to stay in touch with the fans without any controversies, Except self made…!!?? Yes, Aamir has started blogging on his website. He presents his ideas, thoughts in a fantastic manner. He replies to his fans comments with great affection..!! He shares his new projects and its progress with them directly, so no need media to be a middleman..!!
In the begining he wrote about one of his best movies ie “Lagaan” , his experience as producer, he even posted “Chale Chalo” video clip in his blog and started replying to the comments of his posts. Thats how he started blogging and now a days he is even going beyond his films and making much noise in the film industry for special reasons..!!
Recently he is giving some shock treatments to the film industry. He is writing something special which makes everyone to raise their eyebrow..!! You may ask whats that..? just look at his blog you will find it out..!! Let there be surprise or shock for you also.
Though none of them accept it you all know that there is no good chemistry between Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan. His words in his blog created a great controversy in bollywood industry. He has hit the headlines by making some remarks on Shahrukh. Now the question is who is No.1 in bollywood ..?? Aamir..?or Shahrukh Khan..??
Aamir wrote in blog: “Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?” But he clarified that he is not referring to the bollywood king Khan but a dog named Shah Rukh. In fact caretakers of his Panchgani home have a dog named Shah Rukh..!!
Aamir clarified it saying: “Now, before you jump to any conclusions let me add that Shahrukh is the name of our dog. And before you jump to any further conclusions let me add that I had nothing to do with naming him. In fact Shahrukh is the dog of the caretakers of our house. When I bought this house it came with the caretakers and their dog! Apparently Shahrukh (the actor) was shooting for a commercial in this house a few years ago, and that very day the caretakers bought a pup…, and named him Shahrukh. What are the chances of me buying a house which comes with a dog called Shahrukh!!! ”
But Shahrukh Khan’s fans have another version. In their words: “Aamir is doing it willfully and intelligently. Even few months back Aamir created controversy saying : ‘I would like to ask Shahrukh how it feels to be No 2..?’ In this background if you read this blog you will know the real intention of it.”
Whatever may be the truth but it was really a big bitter thing for the Shahrukh Khan’s fans to digest..!!
In reply to media Shahrukh said that he has no time to write blog and he even said that he is not a journalist to report whatever happens..!!

[ Note: Hello readers how do you feel about Aamir blogging..? Do you think this is the best way to keep in touch with fans. Do you want him to write within limits so that no one gets hurt. Write your comments about this and we will be happy to publish. Thanking you..

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Love story

Salman Khan is always in news especialy most of his controversies are relating to girls. He was spotted by the media when he was dating former miss world and bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai. Salman and Aishwarya fell in love during the shooting of “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” which turned to be a blockbuster hit of the year. They were in good terms for two years thats from 1999-2001. Later misunderstandings arose between them and they couldn’t make it. There relationship didn’t end quietly, it was both a personal and legal problem, Salman constantly filled gossip columns for months together.

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Break up / Split

Salman Khan and Aishwarya broke up officially in 2002. As the actress, said she broke up with Salman after he inadvertantly admitted that he had been unfaithful to her.
The controversy was a great news when Salman stormed onto the sets of Aishwarya’s upcoming film “Kuch Na Kaho” with Abhishek Bachchan. Salman Khan pushed Aishwarya to the ground, prompting intervention from spectators, then left the spot with retaliation.
A similar incident occured months later, in 2002, on the sets of Aishwarya’s film withShahrukh Khan. It was reportd that when Shahrukh Khan attempted to intervene in the couple’s heated quarrel, he was verbally attacked by Salman, and the relationship between them was also worsened. This also caused serious damage to Aishwarya career as no actorwas ready to work with her.

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Legal controversies

After their break-up in March 2002, Aishwarya Rai accused him of harassing her. She stated that Salman couldn’t come to terms and harassing her in many ways and her parents even lodged a police complaint against him, they alleged that intoxicated Salman broke windowpanes and furniture in home . She took the protection of both the police and private security guards. They used to accompany her during her shooting.
In 2005 Mumbai police released a tape of mobile call recorded in 2001. It appeared that Salman Khan threatened Aishwarya Rai to persuade her to appear at a social event. It even seemed that he had link with Mumbai crime mafia and made some derogatory statments about other actors of bollywood. But the alleged tape was concluded as fake by the government’s Forensic lab in Chandigarh.

Aishwarya Rai words about Salman Khan

“The Salman Khan chapter was a nightmare in my life and I am thankful to god that it is over”
“I have maintained a dignified silence about him and his wrong doings but he has repeatedly attacked the respect, dignity and pride of me and my family with irresponsible rumour mongering”
“I stood by him enduring his alcoholic misbehaviour in worst phases and in turn I was at the receiving end of his abuse, infidelity and indignity. That is why like any other self-respecting woman I had ended my relationship with him almost two years ago”
“After we broke up, he would call me and talk rubbish. He also suspected me of having affairs with my co-stars. I was linked up with everyone, from Abhishekh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan. There were times when Salman got physical with me, luckily without leaving any marks. And I would go to work as if nothing had happened.”

Salman Khan words about Aishwarya Rai

“I love Aishwarya. I am not hounding her. It’s not a teenage obsession that I feel for her — it’s pure love. She’s such a traditional Hindustani girl at the bottom of her heart. The fact that she respects her parents so much makes me admire her more.” (Hindustan Times, 2002)
Salman says: “Call me arrogant or whatever you like. I am like this. I try and put forward myself very clearly. I am not scared of speaking the truth. I have been labelled arrogant by a section of the film press, especially those magazines which want me to run around them and accept whatever they write about me. If I call you names, if I write rubbish about your family, will you like it? It can spoil your relationships with your colleagues and family and also land you in a soup. Just because somebody wants to sell his magazine, does it mean I should allow them to make use of me?”

Last kick..!!

Aishwarya Rai after breaking with Salman dated Vivek Oberai for few days and Vivek used to accompany her during her shooting and it was reported that even Vivek was harassed by Salman for supporting her. At last she married Abhishek Bachchan on April 20, 2007.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is said to planning to write a book on her life. It is reported that the book will include all untold and unheard happenings of her life. She is going to reveal secrets of her relationship with Salman Khan. Hope this is the only thing which can make all things clear. Obviously it will be a best seller.
[Great Fans only: Hello readers how do you feel about Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Love story. Feel free to make you comments we will be happy to publish them. Matured comments will be given extra priority..!! ------Webmaster]

I think the family is and should be the first priority in any woman’s life. They should have that dependence on you that you are there for them no matter who you are, where you are and how you are. I have the same sense of dependence on my mother till today.”

Kajol and Ajay Devgan Wedding Marriage Details and Photos

Kajol and Ajay Devgan wedding / Marriage

No doubt that Kajol and Ajay Devgan are one among the cute perfect couples. They fell in love and married without much gossips..!! Ajay Devgan & Kajol dated for few years even before marriage. But there were not any great controversies or gossips, everything was fine between them.
Kajol daughter of actress Tanuja and film producer Shomu Mukherjee married the bollywood actor Ajay Devgan on 24th February 1999. Mehndi ceremony was also held at Kajol’s apartment in Bombay a day before the wedding. It was a simple marriage ceremony attended by few close friends and relatives. The wedding ceremony was held at Ajay’s residence Varsha, in Juhu. The ceremonies were performed in the late evening at 7 pm.
The newly wedded couples went to Europe, Egypt, and Australia for their honeymoon. It was reported that Kajol will continue to act in films even after their marriage. Ajay Devgan said that its left to her and he has nothing to decide. He gave full freedom to his wife to decide.

Ajay Devgan quotes about Kajol

“I’ve sent a legal notice to the columnist who’s written that Kajol and I are breaking up. Either she tenders a written apology or prepares to face the consequences. It’s the giddy limit. Kajol and I know each other inside out so nothing can instigate us. Even if there was an iota of truth in the rumours, I’d have kept quiet. But totally baseless accusations can’t be taken lying down.” (Filmfare, Dec. 2001)
“I do not want to comment on my personal affairs. People talk too much — it’s really irritating me now. They jump to conclusions for no reason, without sufficient proof. I never talk about my personal life. After these rumours, I definitely do not want to comment on anything.” [About personal life]

Kajol quotes about Ajay Devgan and Marriage life

“There is no secret at all. It has worked because both of us wanted it to work and we have tremendous love plus respect for one another. You need to work on a relationship and that is what we do in our own little ways every single day. The feeling of caring must be there in both the partners and this does not begin or end with those three words ‘I love you.’ It is true that I am possessive about him in the same way that I am possessive about Nysa. But we also realise that we need to give some space to each other to grow individually, as a married couple and as Nysa’s parents. It is not that we do not have fights or arguments. But these are the things that add spice to a marriage, don’t they?” [About secret of happy marriage]
“A woman should trust her husband , only then will she be able to win him over , I’ve been born and brought up in this industry and know that here smoke can be conjured up without a fire . I trust my husband more than the rumours . I married him because I love him.”
“He was my husband at home and was the ruthlessly dominating boss on the sets and he told me to accept this change in the equation much before shooting began. After all, I have been an actress for too long to forget my professionalism on the sets and in front of the camera. Not that it did not disturb me at times, but I learnt to cope with it when I understood that he needed to cope with the changed equation as much as I did. He was so well organized that he left no scope at all for discussion, debate or argument.” [About Ajay as director of "U, Me aur Hum" ]

Kajol Movies after marriage

After her marriage the film industry believed that she won’t come back again to the movies thus ending her career with her “Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi”. She didin’t even gave any interviews to the media thus adding more doubts about her come back. It was reported that her in laws are expecting her to stay home and pay more attention to family. kajol neither admitted nor denied tha gossips. She gave a shock with her come back in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham which was a blackbuster of the year.
Kajol said: ” As a Devgan daughter-in-law and a member on the Board of Directors of the family’s company , I won’t be able to devote all my time to acting . I’ve thus decided to do one film at a time”
Kajol states ” I don’t believe this at all .It depends on the image of the heroine .If there is depth in her acting and if she is an actress to reckon within then marriage does not make any difference . But if she is only a Sex symbol or decorative doll , then marriage does make a difference . The careers of Hema Malini , Raakhee and Sharmila Tagore survived marriage. They were in the limelight for years after their marriage . A lot of planning has gone into the selection of my films . I’ve never taken the shortcut to fame i.e. via sex and glamour , nor have i ever worked with incompetent directors . Even earlier I didn’t accept many films and now with responsibilities of the home and the company , I do not have much time to devote to acting.”
Her movies after marriage includes many hits like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Fanaa.

Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and farmer Miss India Namrata Shirodkar are married at last! Their relationship was much discussed in media. It was about six years relation which ended in Marriage.The couple got married on Feb 10th 2005 at Marriott Hotel in Mumbai. It ended all speculations of their relationship because some newspapers reported that Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar broke up due to personal differences. But now it seems the couple are happy with each other.
The marriage was very simple ceremony. It was reported that Mahesh Babu was too busy with his shooting “Athadu”. He couldn’t give much time for the marriage due to his earlier commitments. He couldn’t be free for few days earlier and came a day before marriage. Later in the 9th night, he flew to Mumbai with his sister Manjula & Padma. The wedding was a very private affair limited to only close relatives and friends.
The couple fell in love during the shooting of Padmalaya produced film “Vamsi”. There were rumours about their love story for six years and even of break up..!! It was even reported that Mahesh Babu parents weren’t happy with the love story. But later all issues have been sorted out. At last the actor has finally tied the nuptial knot.
Namrata Shirodkar said after the that her husband is her top priority and her career comes second. In an interview she said that she was looking forward to live with Mahesh Babu in Hyderabad and didn’t mind taking a break from her career.

Namrata Shirodkar about marriage and Mahesh Babu

“The wedding was to happen any time this year. But his family wanted it immediately. He has a really busy time ahead and wanted to get married before his new crop of movies started. But I am not complaining. It turned out beautifully for me, touchwood.”
“The wedding was a very private affair. There were only 25 people. We had decided on the date, Feb 10 – we didn’t want a clichéd Valentine’s Day marriage – one month ago. We wanted it really small and private. Mahesh wanted it that way.”
“Mahesh is the best thing to have happened to me. Yes, he has a huge female fan following. But I feel really, really secure with him. The females are crazy about him. They call on my number asking if they could talk to him. I’ve stopped answering strange numbers. His latest film is the biggest rage. But no temple for Mahesh. That’s a very Tamil and not Telugu thing.”
“We did a Telugu movie “Vamsi” together. But we began seeing each other about a year after the film. In the past year I’ve been shuttling between Mumbai and Hyderabad. I had started doing far less work so I could spend time with Mahesh.”
“I’ve put on weight. I was never career-driven. Now when I’m married to a superstar I’m just happy being part of my husband’s success. Whoever says marriage is scary doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Marriage has sobered me down. Not that I was ever wild.”
“Mahesh is Very, very level headed. Not at all a ‘star’. I’ve been first-hand witness to how real he can be. He’s very, very loving, caring and understanding. He believes in family values as strongly as I do. He’s very shy. We clicked together because in many ways he’s quite like me. And he’s very, very good looking.”
“I was fond of my work. But I’m so happy in my new life that I don’t miss acting. But yes, I do have a lot of time on hand. Mahesh has been really busy. But for the past week he has been home. So I got some precious time with him. He has been working really hard.”

The Real List o fBollywood's Top Ten Alltime Blockbusters

2011-08-08T05:28:00.000-07:00

**Why Your Alltime Blockbusters list does not include films like Krissh, Rab Ne Bana di Jodi, Ghajini and Dabanggwhich are amoung Biggest grossers of all time? (according to many sources of current electronic media)**

Above mentioned films are not yet included in this list of Alltime Blockbusters because apart from earnings there are various factors which should be considered in naming any film ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER of the great Indian Bollywood Cinema. Movie should have Long lasting IMPACT on masses and mindsets of people. Just a simple question may answer this..Can you think of any of your friends, colleagues or relatives who have not seen the movies SHOLAY and DDLJ? Hard to find..right? still many people (Middle aged and elder generation) have not seen 'Dabangg' movie yet and it has not become topic of serious discussions amoung all generations... Sholey and DDLJ released in single screen days and no Multiplex boom was there, rates of tickets were one fifth of today's rates(This is the reason why even after running housefull for many months their total grossed amount is lesser than today's collections), still some of those those movies had big Impact and became hugely popular hence qualify for our All time Blockbusters list....

1) Sholay - This movie remains the Biggest Alltime Blockbuster of Bollywood cinema because the amount of impact it had on Indian audience can't be matched by any other movie till date. Inflation Adjusted earnings of this movie also seems too high to cross by today's movies. Each and every dialogue of movie became popular.

2) Mughal-E-Aazam / Mother India - A romantic tale of Salim and Anarkali played by legendary artists Dilip Kumar and Madhubalahad packed houses for months after it's release. Melodious songs and great dialogues made it very popular. Mother India - Coloured movie Released way back in 1957 connected well with the audience of rural India and liked by the most. (These two films were most popular and highest grossers of 1950s and 60s)
3) Hum Aapke hain Koun - A Romantic family drama showered the box office with unprecedented money and broke many records all over india. This movie still has the record of completing Golden Jubilee at most cities and cinema halls ever. It was the first movie to gross over 100 crores ever in Bollywood History. This movie released when Madhuri Dixit was at the peak of her career and the topmost actress of bollywood at that time.Madhuri took away most credit for the succes of "Hum Aapke Hain Koun". She is currently regarded as one of the All time greatestActresses of Bollywood.
4) Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ) - Aditya Chopra's DDLJ was a smash hit and considered one of the best and biggest all time Romantic Movies of Bollywood Cinema. This movie established Shah rukh khan and Kajol as top actors of bollywood and both became craze and overnight heartthrob of young generation.
5) 3 Idiots - Story and Life events of 3 college students connected well with young audience and this movie becomes biggest hit of the decade, subsequently entering in the list of Top ten Biggest All time Bollywood blockbusters.
6) Dhoom 2 - Multiplex boom and fast track adventurous theme made this Yash Raj Production a Huge All Time Blockbuster.
7) Om Shanti Om - This Movie claimed to be anAlltime biggest grosser at it's peak point. It's success lies behind extensive promotions and Multiplex Boom. Shah rukh khan promoted this film like never before. Om Shanti Om got almost unprecedented pre-release "Hype" due to a song featuring more than 30 Biggest Bollywood Stars and another one exposingShah Rukh's "Six Pack Abs" (So it were called).
8) Gadar : Ek Prem Katha - The love story of an Indian Punjabi Boy and a Pakistani Muslim Girl, with the background of indo-pak partition tensions and violence, was well recieved by cheering audiences. Melodious music helped the movie in becoming a Huge All Time Blockbuster of Bollywood. Gadar was released in the same year when Aamir khan's 'Lagaan'and Shah Rukh Khan's 'Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham' hit the screens but Sunny Deol's Gadarset the screens on fire instantly after release and defeated other two movies in terms of collections and popularity.
9) Muqaddar Ka Sikandar / Ram teri Ganga Maili - Muqaddar Ka Sikandar is considered to be Amitabh Bachchan's biggest success in terms of Money Making. MKS was also the biggest Box Office Grosser of 1970s after Sholey. Ram Teri Ganga Maili was legendary director Raj Kapoor's most succesful movie (Professionally). RTGM was the most popular and highest grosser of 1980s defeating "Hero" (1983) and "Mr. India" (1987). Later Only "Maine Pyaar Kiya" gave a tough competition to it's earnings.10) Maine Pyaar Kiya / Karan Arjun - Maine Pyaar Kiya was musical smash-hit directed by Sooraj Barjatya. Salman Khan andBhagyashree became nations biggest heartthrob Overnight at the end of 90s. - Karan Arjun was Re-incarnation story directed by Rakesh Roshan. It completed Golden and silver jubliees at many centers. This success was achieved due to the movie's liking by huge combined fan base of SRK and Salman. Karan-Arjun's script / screenply is considered to be one of the best work in many years.

Confirming our detailed and reasoned analysis Below, the LATEST lead taxpayers' list (from bollywood) out in reliable news sources lists Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar in top positions ... Here are what latest news reports says -- : -

"Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is the number one tax payer from Bollywood for the second quarter of financial year 2011 by paying up Rs 5 crore to the IT department as against the Rs 3.5 crore paid in the same quarter last year, reports a TV channel. Shah Rukh has replaced Bollywood ACTION HERO AKSHAY KUMAR who managed to come a close second having paid Rs 4.5 crore in Q2 of FY11 as well. He had paid Rs 4.5 crore in Q2 of FY10.

Following is our detailed analysis which was posted here last year
----------------------------------------

In Bollywood, there is no public record for official figures of transactions but a Star's Market Value can be established on Movie successes and endorsement standings.

When SHAH RUKH KHAN was on his Peak after succeses of 'DDLJ', 'Dil to Pagal hai' and 'Kuchh Kuchh hota hai' (Before arrival ofHrithik, AT that time Salman Khan and Aamir Khan were professionally considered below SRK) media reports started to come that Shah Rukh has now started to take 2-3 crores per film. This was shocking for Indian Public because in early Nineties people believed that overall budget of a good movie is around 3-5 crore max. But by the end of 2000 things were changed and Overseas Markets were giving Unimaginable profits. Shah Rukh Khan was hugely popular in Overseas markets (Specially US, Canada and UK) and his films were back to back smash hits there making him worth of few crores for a film. Few years Later only AKSHAY KUMAR would emerge as a top selling brand in International Markets...
Then came Phenomenon HRITHIK ROSHANwhose first movie 'Kaho na Pyaar Hai' was a smash hit in Indian and International markets, followed by Kabhie Khushi Kahie Gham by NRI Favorite Karan Johar and the results were same.... By the start of this decade, It was No secret that indeed bollywood film actors are now earning in crores... Bollywood was never same again after that and Top heroines also entered the 1 crore league per film....
AKSHAY KUMAR joined the Crore Race soon and he came with a new strategy. Akshay Kumar was among the first to take overseas rights of the movie as his pre-condition of signing.Markets were high and more huge money was pouring into the business. Even actors' Part Time work (Advertising and Product Endorsement) was paying them more than what they used to get per film just a few years back!
Then Another Revolution came in the form of TV Anchoring by noted bollywood actors.AMITABH BACHCHAN set the TRPs high with his prime time star plus tv show 'Koun Banega Crorepati' and no matter how many people became crorepati, It was sure that Amitabh definitely became a millionaire with this show and was getting several crores for his one season of the show...Small screen had also become Part of the Game now...
AAMIR KHAN raised many eyebrows in 2006 when it was leaked in media that the actor has returned 2 crore rupees to Yash Raj Films because their Movie 'Fanaa' was not released in Gujarat state. This made everyone wonder if Aamir returned 2 crore for film's no show in Gujarat then how many crores he must have got for the movie?
Today if we try to list the most expensive bollywood celebrity actor or Top paid Bollywood celebrity actor, we not only think about what they are charging their producers per movie. Because today bollywood celebrities are earning much more in Brand endorsements and TV Shows.SALMAN KHAN said to have been paid 90 crores for the first season of his popular TV Show 'Dus Ka Dum'. And most recently in Bigg Boss Season 3 Amitabh clicked the deal in Many crores.
Considering all these factors in Mind (TV Show earnings, Brand endorsements, Movies overseas rights etc.) We think following is the List of Top paid, highest paid, highest earning and most expensive and richest Bollywood Actors : -

1) Shah Rukh Khan AND Aamir Khan - Apart from charging 5-10 crore per movie, Both are endoresing Biggest Brands and Products on small screen.

2) Akshay Kumar - Akshay Kumar has become a craze in overseas Markets but recent flops Tashan, Chandni Chowk to China and Blue have broken his string of back to back hits which took him to # 1 spot 2 years back.

3) Salman khan - Salman's Market value dosen't change much despite one or two flops here and there Because he has huge fan following, Big Brands in endorsements and his current money making trump card - 'Dus ka Dum'

4) Amitabh Bachchan - Amitabh Bachchan is still active in Movies but he is making the most from small screen. He is no. 1 in doing the most number of brand endorsements and got the anchoring deal in Most successful realty show Bigg Boss.

5) Hrithik Roshan - Hrithik Roshan remains amoung the leage of Top 5 most expensive actors of Bollywood. He is also promoting some of the biggest Brands in all segments.

Bollywood fun facts

2011-08-08T01:54:00.000-07:00

Here's a list of things you may not know about your favorite Bollywood stars! Check out our Bollywood Fun Facts!

John Abraham Reveals his Favorite Bollywood Babe Co -Star
Bollywood heartthrob John Abrahamhas had the pleasure of acting alongside many of Bollywood’s most famous beauties. So I had to ask the actor who has been his favorite co-star so far. "Let’s set the record straight now; Abhishek Bachchan, he’s a little hairy but that’s ok," giggled the "Dostana" actor! Sorry Bips, Priyanka and other Bollywood babes that acted with John, it looks like Abhishek is one the that charmed him!

Shabana Azmi Puts Her Heart in an Indian Village
Artist and activist are two words that come to mind when I think about the iconic Bollywood actress Shabana Azmi. Azmi continues to work with the people of Mijwan, a tiny village in the State of UP. She has set up a charity that began from the aspirations of her father and great poet and activist, the late Kafi Azmi. Shabana and her team work towards providing education, skill development and general awareness of socio-political issues to the people of Mijwan. When speaking to her about her project, she responded by saying, "The light needs to shine on rural India." I couldn’t agree more! Check out http://www.mijwan.org/ if you want to get involved.

Boman Irani, Not Always in Front of the Camera
Not all actors start off their career as actors. Sometimes their journeys begin somewhere else before they enter the world of acting. This was the case for Boman Irani , "I was being practical because I had a wife and kids and acting can be tough. I knew in photography I didn’t need as much luck as in acting. You can be the most talented actor in the world but you need a slice of luck as well." Well I am sure Boman was a great photograper but the silver screen would not be the same without him, so I am glad that he got a slice of luck in acting!

Shilpa Shetty Goes Green
Shilpa Shetty has joined the fight against global warming. The actress told me, "I'm now working on global warming. I really hope people understand how grave the issue is. I want them to start conserving energy and not wasting natural resources; make small changes, like switching off the lights. I know this sounds very preachy - but I want people to know we are just abusing the planet and we have to give back something to the future generation." Go Shilpa!

Mallika Sherawat Suffers in a Snake Suit
When Bollywood bombshell Mallika Sherawat signed on to American Director Jennifer Lynch’s film "Hisss," the world was buzzing with curiosity about the film. Well I caught up with the actress to get the story on what it was like to be a snake woman. "I've been through pure torture. Pure torture. The makeup took four hours. When I got into the snake suit I had to be carried. I couldn't pee for 14 hours. When I got the role I was so happy and jumping with joy, thinking who wouldn't want to play this. Then I was sitting in the chair and thinking what did I get myself into?" she said, giving a laugh while reminiscing on the tough but rewarding process. Oh my, well I guess an actress has to give it her all to get into character!

After the success of James Cameron's latest movie "Avatar" everyone seems to be jumping on the 3-D bandwagon!

And even after his death, pop icon Michael Jackson has released a 3-D video for his "Earth Song" that is set to premiere during this weekend's Grammy Awards ceremony.

The clip shows a girl walking in a jungle with butteflies flying all around to the tunes of MJ's voice.

"It starts out with some beautiful images of the world and our environment, and Michael's childlike love for animals and birds and dolphins. It introduces a little girl, a beautiful little girl who at one point in the film basically goes to sleep, and when she wakes up — she's in a forest and it's very pastoral — and when she wakes up, all of a sudden it's all changed and it's bad. The environment is being affected and trees are being cut down," Grammy co-executive producer Ken Ehrlich told MTV.com.

Fans will have to wait until this weekend to watch the entire movie during a tribute to the late King of Pop, but you can already now get a sneak peak of what's to come!

Check out this video teaser for the late Michael Jackson's "Earth Song" and tell us what you think!

Bollywood vs. Hollywood

2011-08-06T16:50:00.001-07:00

Difference between Bollywood and Hollywood

Entertainment is arguably deemed a necessary psychological need for humans. In the short on time lives of today, one hardly finds time for entertainment. However, Bollywood and Hollywood movies provide an ample scope for some much-craved for entertainment. There is not a vast difference between the movies of both these film industries.

Scale

Hollywood movies are made on a grand scale which includes movies made on multi-million dollar budgets. However the money spent on movies in Bollywood, although huge, stands nowhere in comparison to Hollywood. The huge disparity in the scale of Bollywood and Hollywood can be evident from the fact that the entire earnings of Bollywood in 2006 were just half of the money earned by one major Hollywood studio, Walt Disney. The length of movies is also dissimilar. In Bollywood, movies typically have a 3 hour length although things are not the same any more with the movie time trimmed down to 1 and ½ hours in the latest flicks. Hollywood movies are not more than a three hour duration but Titanic was an exception.

Story

Bollywood is known for a different genre of movies called musicals and melodramas. Hollywood genres are varied but rarely enter the musical genre. Bollywood movies appeal more to the sentimental side of human nature while Hollywood tickles at the adventurous human spirit. Although Hollywood can't be categorized into the science fiction genre only because romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally, musicals like Grease and Moulin Rouge and sexy movies like American Pie are also popular in Hollywood.

The stories of Hollywood movies lack songs in general and the screenplay is quite taut. Bollywood draws heavily on songs with them making 20% of the narrative. But, Hollywood seems to be following the trend of including music heavily with movies in eliciting emotions to accompany the direction or in the re-emerging trend of movies like Moulin Rouge.

Earnings

Hollywood is an older film industry having originated prior to before World War 1. Bollywood has later origins of talking movies in 1930's although its first silent movie Raja Harishchandra was produced in 1910 only, three years after Hollywood's most initial shot by D.W. Griffithin 1907. Hollywood is technologically superior to Bollywood. Bollywood has not been able to create technological marvels like Avatar and Titanic. However, the underwater movie Blue can be cited as an exception. Movies in Hollywood also derive their incomes from TV networks, home videos and magazines apart from theatre earnings. Bollywood on the other hand depends largely on theatre revenues only. Bollywood is also credited with driving the major Indian music trends.

Similarities and Differences

Personal choice. Since Bollywood movies are being released abroad, more cultures have a chance to view them. Subtitles to ensure a greater audience understanding of dialogue and culture. However, if you are madly in love with the Bollywood song and dance routine, then such movies can woo you. It all depends on your choice. Hollywood movies are dubbed or subtitled as well.
Stars. Some Bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have become household names abroad too. One can have a glimpse of their acting skills when their movies are screened there. However, such stars have also started making appearances in Hollywood movies. Hollywood stars are known and loved world wide.
Kind of audiences. Bollywood refrains from inclusion of steamy scenes in its movies, often excluding even kissing scenes. If kids are to be taken along to the screening, then clean Bollywood movies are a preferred choice. It also does not have exceptional nudity in its films which make them more coveted by family oriented audiences. Hollywood movie themes often include risqué themes and sexy or violent visual images if not made specifically for very young crowds.

Hindi Movie Dialogues To Promote Sanskrit

A Sanskrit-teaching academy based in Ahamdabad is using the dialogues from Hindi movies to promote India’s oldest language, Sanskrit.

This initiative has been taken by the Academy to break the popular view that the Sanskrit is a language which is hard to learn and of little use.

Eklavya Sanskrit Academy (ESA) has been using the dialogues from some Bollywood super hit movies like Sholay and Deewar, which is then translated into Sanskrit. This initiative is aimed at promoting the ancient language among the youth and general public.

"There is a myth prevailing among people that Sanskrit is a difficult language. They also think of it as a language which has no use," Mihir Upadhyay, director of the academy, told reporters.

"But, the language has immense potential. Even the advertising world quotes Sanskrit shlokas and many manuscripts hold great knowledge. We want to create awareness about Sanskrit and promote research," he said.

"We also want to show people that Sanskrit is an easy and interesting language. To popularise it, we recently did an experiment by using dialogues of around 17 superhit Hindi films to attract people, mainly youths," Upadhyay said.

For example, the famous dialogue by Amjad Khan (Gabbar) in film Sholay, "Ab tera Kya Hoga Kalia? (What will happen to you Kalia), will be translated as "Kaalia, tav ki bhavisyasi?" in Sanskrit.

We hear funny, cheesy and thought provoking dialogues all the time in Bollywood movies, and I'm sure everyone out there has their personal favourites.

Below I have compiled a list of my favourite Bollywood dialogues! As you read them you will see that the majority of them are from classics, such Deewar, Lawaaris and Sharabi etc. It's not surprising that Amitabh dominates the list of dialogues, and it's funny how most Shahrukh dialogues are related to ishq vishq and girls, whereas Amitabh's are more wordly... and let's face it, alot better as well!

Farhan's Don 2 to go on floors in October

22 Feb 2010

Audiences can get ready for Bollywood villain Don's next chase, with director-actor Farhan Akhtar all ready to start shooting the sequel to his hit film "Don" from October this year.

"The next Don is coming up really well. At the moment, we are into heavy pre-production for that. We would start shooting on Oct 1 or Oct 2... that's the scheduled date to start shooting for now. So we are getting there... slowly but surely. (I am) very excited about it. And I am quite certain that I'll have a great time making it and that the audience will surely enjoy it," Farhan told reporters here.

Don - The Chase Begins was a remake of 1978 movie Don that had megastar Amitabh Bachchan as the gangster. The film received a cult status and is still etched in the minds of many movie buffs.

In 2007, Farhan came out with the Don - The Chase Begins with Shah Rukh Khan in the title role. Now the director is set to make part two of the movie and says he will retain most of the star cast from the first instalment.

"There will be a lot of people from my previous Don itself. So there will be Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, Arjun Rampal and Om Puri. There are also new characters added to the script this time but they are currently being cast," he said.

"I take advice from SRK..... whom I feel like an elder brother"

Farhan 23 Feb 2010

For Don you had a blueprint of sorts to follow. How does Don 2 take the character forward?

For me, Don's character hinges on his cunning and smartness and the fact that he is playing all the characters in the film and at the same time, he also plays the audience. So, to me, the challenge is to do that again. Of course, you can do great action sequences, you can have great songs, a wonderful looking and talented cast who everybody wants to watch. But this time round, there is now no format to follow. To me that was exciting and what I am focusing again on is how to take Don to almost level two. This film is more of a caper to me than an emotional journey.

And how many 'mulk ki police' will be looking for him in Don 2?

Now I think it's the whole world. Only Antarctica aur Arctic ki police uske peeche nahi padi hai.(laughs)

Could you ever do a mush film? A romcom?

Very honestly I must say that the romcom is one of my least favourite genres, even to watch. There are some of course, which I do thoroughly enjoy but they are very few and far between. Personally, I prefer drama, action and thrillers. If it's a romance I would much prefer a classic romance like a Romeo and Juliet which has drama in it.

You work with actors as a director and compete with them as an actor. How do you differentiate between the two?

The people that I have worked with are the ones that I am good friends with and I do spend a lot of time with. One is obviously Hrithik and the other is Shah Rukh. Hrithik and I have known each other for really really long. We have been friends from way before I decided I wanted to be in films (he kind of always knew he wanted to be in films). So my friendship with him is beyond actor-director, whatever.

With Shah Rukh, I really started hanging out with him post Dil Chahta Hai. I feel a certain kinship with him. We have similar joys in terms of technology, we jam on many things. And many a times he has been someone I have turned to for advice. He is someone I have almost started feeling over time, again without sounding cheesy, like an elder brother. I know for a fact, not that he has told me so, that he is someone I can really count on, if the need arises. Even if we choose in the future to not work together, we will still hang out, we will still be friends.

Today's actors pay a lot of attention to body and hair, the externals basically. Yesteryear actors looked almost the same in every film but it didn't affect the strength of their performance. Comment.

I completely agree and I think it should go back to being how it was. Because I think, we are slowly but surely working towards this perfect world that everybody should exist in, which is not true. If there is someone on screen who is even relatively chubbier, immediately reviewers say he needs to lose a couple of pounds. Why? Doesn't someone who is chubbier have a right to fall in love with someone? I find it disturbing that we are trying to make a Utopian world where great looking people and great bodies fall in love and nobody else has a right to.

Anyone who is skinny or bald or has a stammer or is fat is relegated to being a comedian, a character who needs help. I find this really disturbing. Did anyone stop to question why people fell in love with Sanjeev Kumar? It's a dangerous obsession because it's going to start limiting talent that's coming in.

OFF THE CUFF

Rate Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and yourself on a scale of one to ten on the following parameters

Communication skills

SRK - 15

Aamir - 10

Hrithik - 8 or 9

Myself - 5

Life of a party

It is difficult to rate this in numbers. SRK and Hrithik are very funny. Both of them love dancing so once the party kicks off, they are always dancing. Aamir is a lot more reserved. In all honesty, I haven't partied with Aamir since Dil Chahta Hai

SRK - 10

Aamir - 5

Hrithik - 10

Myself - 8 or 9

Easy to direct

Honestly, they were all very easy to direct.

ALL - 10

Willing to admit to mistakes

Again, I think, I would give all of them 10 and that's what makes them good at what they do. I know for a fact that I can be stubborn about certain things.

Emotionally giving

I spend a lot more time with Hrithik and Shah Rukh than I do with Aamir. So it will be really difficult for me to say anything about Aamir on this front.

Extempore speakers

SRK- 10

Aamir - 5

Hrithik - 8

Myself - 5

Aware of the world

All of us are pretty aware of what's happening in the world around us, so I would probably rate them just up there. Even if we want to detach ourselves from what's happening around us you media people don't let it happen. There is no escape. So 10 on 10 for everyone

Be a 3am friend

My friendship is more with Hrithik and Shah Rukh than it is with Aamir. My relationship with Aamir is a lot more professional than personal so to put him into this equation feels very weird as it's unfair to him.

SRK-10

Hrithik-10

Myself - 0

I switch off my phone when I sleep, I love my sleep. I think I don't qualify for this.

Politically correct

SRK-3 or 4, mostly he says what he feels

Hrithik- 10

Myself- 7 or 8, I have the knack of saying wrong things as well

Spontaneous

SRK- 10

Hrithik- 8, He has changed a lot from what he was to what he is now

Animal Charm

SRK-10

Hrithik -10

Both of them are very attractive people.

Myself - I don't know about myself (laughs) how do I rate myself on animal charm?

SRK SCRAPS AD DEAL WITH TODIS, FOR RIZWANUR

SRK SCRAPS LUX COZI AD DEAL WITH TODIS

22 Feb 2010

Shahrukh Khan did a real life Rizwan Khan, the good soul he plays in his new film My Name is Khan, as the actor suspended the sponsorship of his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by the Lux Cozi innerwear, owned by a businessman accused of instigating the suicide of his Muslim son-in-law, Rizwanur Rahman.

Lux Cozi is owned by Ashok Todi, the father of Priyanka Todi whose marriage with Muslim youth Rizwanur Rahman against the wishes of family led to the death of the latter under mysterious circumstances. Rizwanur, a computer graphics designer, was found dead by a railway track in Sep 2007, a little more than a month after he married Priyanka Todi, the daughter of Ashok Todi. The incident caused a public outcry in Kolkata and a CBI inquiry was instituted.

SRK seen here with his team Kolkata Knight Riders, KKR

Khan was a brand ambassador of Lux Cozi and his Indian Premier League team, Kolkata Knight Riders, (KKR), was to promote the brand too in the coming season. However, Khan's support for the brand was criticized by Muslim groups and civil societies in Kolkata.

Rizwanur's mother had written to SRK to dissociate himself with the company owned by a family responsible for her son's death.

Probably due to the criticism and a grieving mother's plea, SRK has cancelled his endorsement contract with Lux Cozi. Lux Cozi would not be allowed to take part in any kind of advertising during the IPL matches of KKR, an official said here. SRK would keep the contract with Lux Cozi on hold till the Todis were proved innocent by the legal system, sources said.

SRK'S LATEST PRODUCTION VENTURE - RA 1

SRK'S LATEST FILM / PRODUCTION VENTURE - RA 1

24 Feb 2010

Shah Rukh Khan, the badshah of bollywood is not sitting idle after the success of 'My Name Is Khan' and preparing to start superhero flick 'Ra1'( opposite sexy siren Kareena Kapoor), which will cost around hundred crore rupees.

Due to its huge cost, Shah Rukh Khan has decided to produce the film through his own production house Red Chillies for director Anubhav Sinha. However, King Khan's superhero flick will not be made in English as he wants it to be made only for Indian audiences in Hindi. Earlier, there was some talk of the film being made in English but Shah Rukh Khan shot down the idea as he was not convinced about the viability of making a film in English when they already have their own 'spider man' and 'superman' etc.

Sources close to Shah Rukh Khan's production house say that 'Ra1' will have breathtaking stunts from King Khan, which will be for the first time not only for him but also for bollywood. The special effects team is being hired from Hollywood to get everything perfect for the gutsy Khan. Shah Rukh Khan has already started working out to prepare himself to be able to perform the daring stunts for the film.

STORYLINE OF RA 1 - A SCIENCE FICTION FILM:

Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the story is that Shahrukh is a computer games freak who falls in love with Kareena Kapoor, who is playing the female lead.

Shahrukh said, "I wanted to make it, and I want to start it. Prashant (Shah, line producer for My Name Is Khan) is the producer here, and I've been troubling him for months now. Part of it is to be shot here. It's a special film for me. I want to put on my tights and my kids blanket on my back. I want to do this film for my children. I've always wanted to make a superhero film, but I never had six-pack abs. Now that I have them, I want to do this. It's not an animation film, as many people believe; I would like to clarify that. It's a live action film."

SRK IS INTRODUCING HIP-HOP STAR, AKON IN RA 1:

Sources close to the movie's pre-production said that Shahrukh wanted an international superstar to be cast. Shahrukh has signed the Senegalese-American, Hip-Hop star Akon, for an undisclosed price, to sing a song in his forthcoming home production RA. 1 (or RA. One). This 'Locked Up' singer was approached by SRK during his recent visit to US.

It seems like SRK is also following the trend of introducing Hollywood actors in Bollywood. Reportedly, Akshay Kumar roped in Snoop Dogg in Singhh Is King and Kylie Minogue in Blue.

RA 1 CAN WAIT, GIVE PRIORITY TO FARAH KHAN, SAYS SRK:

25 Feb 2010

Shah Rukh and Farah might have fallen out professionally, after he opted to do Anubhav Sinha's superhero, fantasy film over Farah Khan's film, "Happy New Year", but they are still friends. Both have projects that are going on the floor shortly. While SRK is getting ready to roll his fantasy action Ra1, Farah begins shooting for Tees Maar Khan in less than a week.

Both SRK and Farah have composer duo Vishal-Shekhar scoring music for their films. And it could've been an awkward situation for the duo. Ultimately, it worked out well. When Shah Rukh heard that Farah's film was going on floors first, he told the music directors to give her the dates they had blocked for Ra1. He didn't want Tees Maar Khan to get delayed because of the music score. However, the music directors couldn't delay SRK's film either, as Ra1 director Anubhav Sinha is eager to begin shooting. So the composers decided to work on both the films simultaneously.

Vishal confirms, "Both Farah and SRK allow comfort and space for each other's recordings. So, both are being recorded simultaneously. Our dates and schedules are mapped out and pretty soild, so no issues there. Luckily, the styles for both films are so different that we get to try new and different things for both."

While Ra1 will have a more futuristic score, Tees Maar Khan will have a popular mainstream sound for the masses.

MNIK CROSSES RS 150 CRORE WORLDWIDE

MNIK HAS CROSSED THE RS 1.50 BILLION MARK IN 10 DAYS

Feb 23, 2010

Source: http://www.businessofcinema.com

My Name is Khan has done a gross business of Rs 1.50 billion (Rs 150 crore) at the worldwide box office in ten days and has become the third film in Bollywood history to bag 150 crores worldwide,. Trade sources are already hailing it as the biggest Shah Rukh Khan film, ever.

The movie starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol is directed by Karan Johar and distributed by Fox Star Studios.

The film is already the biggest Bollywood film of all time within 10 days in the UAE, South Africa, Holland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, East and West Africa, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Mauritius.

In the Middle East, the film has not only smashed all existing Bollywood records within 10 days, but even beaten the Fox Searchlight's previous highest grosser Slumdog Millionaire in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE and Egypt.

Empire International Middle East head Mario Haddad said, "The film has incredible legs. The drop in the second week is less than 10%. We expect it to have a long run here. Due to the demand, we are opening in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria on March 10."

In the UK, the film has become the fastest film to cross GBP 2 million, managing the feat within just 11 days. The strong run in UK continues even in the second week, and is on its way to breaking the all-time record K3G in the UK within the coming week.

In the US and Canada, MNIK is the highest grossing SRK film of all time.

Fox Star Studios India CEO Vijay Singh said, "We are delighted to be entering this elite group with our first major Bollywood venture. The film was created for a global audience and continues to break records worldwide. It is truly proving to be India's first global Bollywood film."

MNIK CROSSES RS 150 CRORE WORLDWIDE

February 24, 2010

Indian Express: Despite less than average theatre occupancy in the weekdays and its share of controversy with Shiv Sena before the release, the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer and Karan Johar-directed Bollywood film My Name Is Khan (MNIK) has managed to rake in Rs 150 crore from its first week of release in India and abroad, say film trade analysts.

This has happened despite the fact that MNIK saw the average theatre occupancy slip to below 40% during the weekdays, especially in single-screen theatres. Initially released with over 1,300 prints, MNIK grossed Rs 90 crore in the first weekend, riding on the controversy surrounding the protest by Shiv Sena over remarks made by Shah Rukh Khan supporting the inclusion of cricketers from Pakistan in IPL-3.

However, the recently released Aamir Khan-starrer 3 Idiots, which is still doing well at the box office, had managed to rake in over Rs 240 crore within 10 days of its release.

SRK BACK AS FILMFARE HOST THIS YEAR

24 Feb 2010

Shahrukh Khan as Filmfare host along with Saif Khan

The 55th Filmfare Awards are round the corner and Shah Rukh Khan along with Saif Khan will once again step into the shoes of host on Saturday night. Last year, Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan had hosted the gala after several folks thought that King Khan and the Chote Nawab had gone overboard with their Na-Real awards in 2008.

The duo had upset some sections of the film fraternity fuming with their mean, mean digs. Watch the video shown here.This time, we wonder who will be the bakra of their jibes. Last heard, SRK was busy getting his script ready along with his writers.

"He has been so busy that he hasn't had any time to prepare for the award night. Normally by now his sessions with the writers is done and he is well on his way to memorizing his monologue and stuff. But he only had the first session with his writers last night," says our source.

And like every year this year too we can be ready for a whole lot of laughs in true King Khan style. "Shah Rukh is very clear that he will poke fun at people present there. But it is never nasty or personal. And this year too, he is adding his own gags and one liners to the act," adds the source.

The person behind the script this year is Vir Das. The standup comedian has worked with Khan earlier too and is aware of his likes and dislikes. "The two sat together last evening to go through what Vir had come up with so far. Vir had been working on the script for over a fortnight now. SRK was satisfied with most of what was there. However, knowing SRK he will make some additions as he goes along," adds the source.

The Filmfare Awards are this weekend at the Yash Raj studios. Expected to perform on the night are Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor

3 Idiots and Paa are expected to walk away with most of the honours.

BOLLYWOOD FACTS:
Last year SRK did not host the filmfare awards and the excuse was that he had a shoulder surgery. But we wonder if that was the real reason. We think it must have been the fact that he had no notable movie released last year except for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. However, he did attend it and spoke a few but quite sarcastic words. Watch the Video here:

On the other hand, this year he is in high spirits after the success of MNIK and so must be eager to mix with the film fraternity to gauge their reaction to him and have fun at their expense too, with his wicked but charming humour!

SRK ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL

Discovery Channel showcases a new documentary on King Khan starting 26 Feb 2010, and airing every Friday at 9pm IST.

This week Discovery Travel & Living is releasing "Living with a Superstar: Shah Rukh Khan" a 10-part prime time reality television series on the unseen life of one of India's most influential contemporary icons.

"Living with a Superstar: Shah Rukh Khan" a 10-part prime time reality television series on the unseen life of one of India's most influential contemporary icons. To do this the producers shadowed Shah Rukh accross four continents to film episodes that cover vacationing with him in London, one of his favorite cities; a personal tour of Mannat, his Mumbai castle and meeting the people who form the backbone of his day-to-day life; access to his home in Dubai; private time spent with his family; first-hand disclosures on the controversies, decisions and game plan for his Indian Premier League cricket team the Kolkata Knight Riders; an exclusive acting master class, where Khan deconstructs the art and technique of performance, as he sees it, and a whole lot of extra 'Shahrukhisms' that cover the actor's views on "living, loving, creating and letting go."

On the eve of the televison premier, Raj K Gopalakrishnan of Blue Mango films (the boutique film production house which co-produced the series with Red Chillies Idiot Box) shares his personal and professional experience filming one of the most important Bollywood documentaries that's ever been made.

CNNGo: Following Shah Rukh Khan for a year is a job for producers with marathon stamina. Truth or dare?

Raj K Gopalakrishnan: This is a reality series, and true to the spirit of reality, we did not pre script or stage scenarios so the important thing was not to miss a moment. This meant long hours of shooting. No breaks. No rest. With SRK, it becomes exponential as he packs what feels like 36 hours into one day. We had to always be ready, alert and at peak performance levels. No matter how much we planned, six out of 10 times the plan would change with 10 minutes to two minutes notice. Like one time when we were shooting in London SRK was walking around and suddenly decided to hop on to a rickshaw. We had to quickly find another one for the camera (and pay a ridiculous amount to the driver) as the rest of the crew ran through busy London traffic without any prior intimation…but it was such a wonderful moment. Nothing was staged and there was this super duper star just roaming about in a rickshaw without a care in the world.

Promotional clip of Living with a superstar- SRK. Video Courtesy, You Tube.

CNNGo: 'Living with a Superstar' was an ambitious project to conceptualize. How have you structured the episodes to cover this many aspects of SRK's life?

Gopalakrishnan: He gave us unlimited access, like nobody has ever been given before. So we decided to follow him across four continents and literally let the story tell itself. We shot with him in South Africa, Europe, America, UAE and India. We were with him, recording the trials and tribulations of the IPL. We were with him during the shooting of "My Name is Khan". We were also with him when he was vacationing in London with his family. We were in Mumbai. In his home. At his office. On his Birthday. We were everywhere he was. Literally living with the superstar… and that's why we named the series that.

As for structuring the episodes a lot of the crafting happened during the post shoot brainstorming, on the edit table. Footage was brought to the table as soon as it was shot and this way we could keep a tight control over the quality and content as well as start iterations. It's here that we decided to make the series structure thematic, instead of chronological, so that even if you see just one episode it would be one complete chapter from SRK's life. Some of the themes are 'private vacation' from his time in London or 'Shah Rukh 24X7' the total workaholic and through these themes viewers will, for the first time, get an insider's look at every facet of SRK -- actor, father, husband, friend, businessman and more.

CNNGo: How did your perception of your subject change during the making of this show?

Gopalakrishnan: SRK is such a good human being --- he has admirable integrity, is honest, straightforward, witty, very, very intelligent, professional, a thorough gentleman and a real family man. He's been a revelation. He is also a workaholic, has an unflinching commitment to his work and does not see failure as an option. His charm and eloquence add to his persona. Contrary to popular belief, he is not pompous. I have seen him on the sets of movies and shoots. He immediately puts everyone at ease, and is a complete team player. I have never seen him lose his cool, but he does call a spade a spade. He is very quick to adapt to his surroundings and changes in the world at large. That is one of the reasons for his longevity as an economically viable investment for any producer.

But then you suddenly realise that his attitude towards life and work define him as a super-achiever not just a superstar. So, instead of being an actor, if he was in finance or sports or software I believe he would be at the zenith and that is my biggest perception change.

CNNGo: Tell us what happened behind-the-scenes.

Gopalakrishnan: Some of the craziest moments involved fans. No matter which part of the world we were in, fans managed to track down all our crew's so called "secret spots". Once a bunch of 10 odd teenagers had travelled from another city to meet SRK. They surrounded our crew and refused to let us go. We had to keep talking to security and devise almost 10 exits from where we could get him out. It was like a cat and mouse game. Finally, we split the team in half and made a dummy team with an empty camera seem like they were the right crew. While we managed to get the shot and SRK out safely, the other crew actually came back with a few scratches and buttons ripped from their clothing trying to escape the fans.

Another time, we had fans reaching places with fake IDs, claiming that they were perimeter security assigned by fictitious local authorities and stating that they would have to confiscate the cameras or be with the crew to ensure SRK's safety! There were such incidents almost on a daily basis throughout the shoot.

CNNGo: What is your understanding of what it's like to be Shah Rukh Khan?

Gopalakrishnan: It's got to be tough. High pressure. Very demanding. Everybody has something to say about you. Even people who don't know you have an opinion about you. And those who want to know you, perhaps have an ulterior motive or are simply star struck. Life is forever under the scanner and in a territory so fertile for rumours and slandering, there is a reputation to protect. More importantly, there is a family to protect. And given all this, I think he manages beautifully.

I think his family keeps him really balanced (he carries their pictures with him everywhere and they are the first things to inhabit his hotel room). He also has very acute business acumen. He has razor sharp intellect. Great oratory skills. He has charisma. He is savvy. He has vision. I think other than being a great entertainer, SRK would make a great leader for our country. That's one role I would love to see him in…in real not reel life!

PREVIEW OF LIVING WITH A SUPERSTAR - SRK

On the face of it, an image of a man selling samosas on the streets of Mumbai is anything but rivetting. In Living With A Superstar-Shah Rukh Khan, a 10-part series (it premieres on Travel and Living on February 26, every Friday at 9 pm), however, the same shot captures a telling moment. As crowds throng in front of Mannat, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's home in Mumbai, to catch a glimpse of their "god", a young samosa wallah senses a business opportunity and sets up "shop". The city of dreams comes to life in this one image, which at once encompasses both the King Khan brand name as well as the survival skills of the young roadside hawker.

In these small details lie the success of this documentary, one which promises a rare glimpse into the life of superstar Khan. From a tour of his home Mannat, to the people with whom he works on a day-to-day basis (his bodyguard, his Man Friday, other staff members in his home), time spent with his family members, his children Aryan and Suhana, on the the sets of his films, the series plans to show it all.

Living With A Superstar, says Discovery Channel, will get audiences even closer to Khan. The first, which will be aired on February 26, 2010, takes us on a tour of London with Khan on a holiday with a group of his friends and family. For any fan, it would be thrilling to see Khan order coffee for himself, take a stroll in Hyde Park, play soccer with his children, enjoy a lunch out with a group of his close friends while letting Gauri (his wife) fuss over what he should eat and which wine he should drink. It's almost like looking through a personal photo album, or travelling with Khan on a journey. It helps that Khan himself is the narrator, talking passionately about his children, imagining himself as a "72-year-old when Suhana will take me to bookstores", and sharing some of his very personal thoughts with the audience.

While forthcoming episodes should reveal more interesting aspects of Khan's life, the first one, which we previewed, was interesting in parts, but didn't have a lasting impact. Thanks to PR machinery and numerous news supplements, Shahrukh-isms are always, and invariably, in constant supply. And while we may not be able to predict his next move in films (My Name is Khan is a challenging, out-of-the-box attempt even for the actor) Twitter and other social networking sites ensure that we get a constant update on the actor's thoughts. Also, Nasreen Munni Kabir's documentary on the star (Inner/Outer World of Shahrukh Khan, Rs 2,000, available at leading DVD stores), in a way, had the first mover advantage and gave us a fair sense of his lifestyle.

However, it's hard to give Discovery's documentary a miss. Like it or not, everyone wants a piece of the superstar. Everyone wants to inch closer to him, get a sense of how he lives, what he drives, what he wears and what he thinks. In that sense, Revealed: Shah Rukh Khan, another one-hour offering from Discovery (it premiered last Friday and repeats tonight at 8 pm),works very well. The show had admakers, film critics, film scholars and anthropologists discuss the rise of Khan in the context of changing India, taking into cognisance his different roles against the backdrop of a young India that believes in chasing dreams. After all, that's what has made Shah Rukh Khan the brand name that he is today.

SRK'S STANCE ON OMISSION OF PAKISTANI PLAYERS IN IPL MAKES HIM AN ICON IN PAKISTAN

SRK'S STANCE ON OMISSION OF PAKISTANI PLAYERS IN IPL AND HIS PRO-ISLAM CHARACTER IN MNIK, MAKES HIM AN ICON IN PAKISTAN

Inside Nishat theatre, one of Karachi's very oldest, on the first-day-first-show of My Name is Khan, the atmosphere is electric. Ten minutes into the film, as soon as Shahrukh Khan speaks those now-famous lines, "My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist", the clapping and cheering begins. And it doesn't stop. Every gesture by Shahrukh's character, Rizwan, unselfconsciously affirming his Muslim identity on American soil, whether it's his habit of always saying salaam, rather than the more neutral "hi" or "hello", praying in public or reciting verses from the Quran identifying Islam as a religion of peace, gets them cheering. The scene where he pelts an Islamic jehadi with stones for misleading the public—an echo of a Haj ritual, in which pilgrims throw stones at the "shaitan"—gets a standing ovation. And when he declares, towards the end of the film, that Khans never go back on their word, applause rings out again. It is pretty safe to conclude there are many here, among them bearded Pathans and veiled women, whose name is Khan!

MNIK, easily the biggest Indian film to release here, has taken the Pakistani obsession with Bollywood to a new level. While the elite may throng the swank Lahore multiplexes for the whole experience of the film, including the Shahrukh-Kajol dream team, and a soundtrack that boasts three Pakistani vocalists, for the masses, a protagonist unapologetic about being a Muslim, and the positive portrayal of Islam as a religion of peace are easily the main attractions. Most Pakistanis have received MNIK as they did the Pakistani-made Khuda Kay Liye—a film that stands up for Muslims when they are being victimised across the world, in the aftermath of 9/11.

Their approval is registering at the box office. Released here on February 13, the film raked in 13.6 million Pakistani rupees in the opening weekend alone, beating the Hollywood blockbuster Avatar and 3 Idiots. Cinema owners, who feared going out of business until Pervez Musharraf agreed to allow Bollywood films to be released here, could not be more delighted. "There is only one way to describe the response to MNIK in Pakistan," says Nadeem Mandviwalla, the beaming Nishat Cinema owner, "Unprecedented!" His company, Mandviwalla Entertainment, has bought 25 prints of the film, which are busy making money across the country. (MNIK's box-office success will not be long-lived however, since cable operators and DVD stores are already putting out pirated copies.)

For most viewers, Shahrukh, whose popularity has soared here after he spoke up in favour of Pakistani cricketers, is the be-all and end-all of the film, and with some, his Pathan ancestry clearly helps. "I would not have expected anything less than this from Shahrukh," said Sher Afzal Khan, a burly, bearded member of the audience, exactly the sort of man who tends to be socially ostracised in the West, and even at times in Pakistan, for looking like somebody on the FBI's most wanted list. "Shahrukh toh original Khan hai," he added.

Mention the fact that Shahrukh's character in the film marries Mandira (Kajol), a Hindu and one who has clearly not been converted to Islam, something the faith disallows, and he reacts as if he has not heard. With no mention of sindoor, pheras or even a court marriage, the Muslim-Hindu marriage seems to have been dismissed as mere trivia, and has not stopped many from being deeply affected by the tale MNIK spins. "It was such a superb film," said a middle-aged woman at the theatre, in between sniffs. Since she was veiled from head to toe, one could only see her eyes, and those red, wet eyes said it all.

Taking no chances, however, the Pakistani censor board has used its scissors on the film. Nishat's management confirms that three scenes were snipped. One showed a caricature of Osama bin Laden falling out of a locker—apparently put there to taunt Sam (Mandira's son) for having Khan as a surname. Mandira's emotional outburst after the death of her son, on the price she has paid for marrying a Muslim, has been censored in parts, and finally, there's a beep in place of the word Islam when Sam's class teacher talks about Islam being a religion that spreads violence and terrorism. "It's ironic," laughs Mandviwalla, "that a film like New York that portrayed a Muslim as a terrorist was passed uncut while this one was snipped here and there. But that is Pakistan for you: completely unpredictable". But one thing is predictable, nothing elicits more of a response from the Pakistani public than a religious theme, and with this definitive portrayal of the moderate Muslim, Shahrukh has not just washed away the sins of all of those Bollywood films that portrayed Muslims as thugs or underworld dons, but won himself a permanent place in Pakistani hearts. Being an Indian is no impediment.

BOLLYWOOD FACTS:

Predicatbly Shahrukh Khan's comments about the omission of the Pakistani players from the IPL, just before the release of MNIK has worked in his favour in Pakistan. It is quite obvious now, that his comments were a very cleverly planned move by him. His intention was to kill two birds with one shot. Firstly create some interest in the film by this controversy and secondly, to please his big fan base in Pakistan. And both, he managed to achieve.

He had earlier, made an attempt to rouse people's interest in MNIK (as it was nearing completion,) when he made a big fuss about being questioned in the US, because his 'name is Khan'!. But when that controversy, fizzled out, he kept mum and bided his time. And he came up with this masterstroke. He should thank the Shiv Sena for biting his bait and kicking in some interest for the movie which is sympathetic to muslims. Or probably all of them must be hand in glove. And when I say 'all of them', I include the newspaper critics like Nikhat Khazmi of TOI who gave 5 stars out of 5.

For SRK, it was essential that his home production make money but more than that, he needed it to outbeat his biggest rival, 'Aamir Khan's 3 idiots' both at the box office and in popularity. Whether MNIK will beat 3 idiots at the box-office in India is to be seen but I believe 3 idiots will be more popular of the two.

SRK FAILS TO BEAT AAMIR KHAN AT THE BOX OFFICE

SHAHRUKH KHAN FAILS TO BEAT AAMIR KHAN AT THE BOX OFFICE

16 Feb 2010

It was not expected but the late release of My Name Is Khan in Maharashtra, Mumbai particularly, caused the movie a loss of approximately Rs 2.75 to 3 crore. And thus the movie failed to beat last year's super hit 3 Idiots, starring Aamir Khan.

As reported, the first weekend business of the Shahrukh Khan-starrer is estimated to be Rs 29.50 crore approx in India while the movie collected Rs 25 crore from the overseas market resulting in the grand total of Rs 54.50 crore. Whereas the overall first weekend collection of '3 Idiots' was about Rs 56 crore. It grossed around Rs 37.50 crore approx in India and Rs 18.50 crore from overseas.

The mammoth figures establish the two movies as top runners in the box office race. Though 'My Name Is Khan' is creating ripples at overseas BO, on the home front the audience response is not as overwhelming as it was during the time of '3 Idiots'. In fact, the collection of 'My Name Is Khan' has started showing a drip on single screens.

BOLLYWOOD FACTS:
SRK being very competitiive, must be tense about the BO figures, because almost always, Aamir's films have outshone his films at the BO, whenever their movies were released in the same time frame. Aamir Khan's 'Taare Zameen Par' blew away everything else in it's sight including SRK's 'Om Shanti Om'. Then Aamir's 'Ghajini' was the talking point over SRK's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'.

Interesting Facts and Figures: Rani Mukherjee

Rani Mukherjee born on March 21, 1978, is an Indian film actress who works in Bollywood movies.

Making her acting debut with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996)

Mukherjee had her first commercial success with Karan Johar's romance Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), her biggest hit so far, and won a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for her performance in the film.

She later starred in many films, most of which fared below expectations. She re-invented her image with Saathiya (2002), which was commercially and critically successful.

In 2004, her performances in the hit Hum Tum and the critically acclaimed Yuva earned her the Best Actress and the Best Supporting Actress awards at the Filmfare, making her the first actress to win two major awards in the same year.

She received unanimous praise for her role as a deaf and blind girl in the film Black (2005), as well as many awards for her memorable performance, establishing herself as a leading actress in Bollywood.

Mukherjee comes from a film-oriented family of Bengali origin. Her father Ram Mukherjee is a retired director and one of the founders of Filmalaya Studios while her mother Krishna was a playback singer.

Her brother Raja Mukherjee is a film producer, now turned director. Her maternal aunt, Debashree Roy, is a national award-winning Bengali film actress and her cousin, Kajol, is a popular Bollywood actress.

Mukherjee is a trained Odissi dancer, and began learning the dance in the tenth grade. Mukherjee studied at Maneckji Cooper High School in Juhu, and later enrolled at Mithibai College in Mumbai.

After doing a short cameo appearance for the first time in her father's Bengali film Biyer Phool (1992), Mukherjee made her acting debut four years later, as the protagonist of Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996).

Her performance as a rape victim in the film was well received, but when the film failed at the box office, she returned to college to complete her education.

Mukherjee as Tina Malhotra in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), her biggest commercial success to date. Pictured with Shahrukh Khan.

Mukherjee returned to films in 1998. Her first release that year was Ghulam, opposite Aamir Khan; the film did well at the box office. The song Aati Kya Khandala made Mukherjee popular among the masses, earning her the nickname of Khandala Girl.

Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, co-starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, followed for her that year. The movie was a blockbuster, and she received her first Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actress category.

In 2005, Mukherjee starred in four high-profile films: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black, Shaad Ali's Bunty Aur Babli, Amol Palekar's Paheli and Ketan Mehta's The Rising.

Mukherjee was offered the lead role in Mira Nair's Hollywood film, The Namesake (2007) but owing to clashing dates with Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, she could not commit to the project.

Gossip columnists have linked Mukherjee to many industry figures, but she has strongly denied every single rumor of romance.

Several gossip columns have also claimed that she is regularly in feud with some of the Bollywood actors and actresses, but Mukherjee has denied this.

Mukherjee changed the English transliteration of her surname from Mukherjee to Mukerji several years ago. At the time, it was reported that she did this for numerological reasons. In 2006, Mukerji stated that numerology was not a concern; her name had been put down as Mukerji on her passport, and she wanted to be consistent.

Mukerji has three homes in Mumbai, including her childhood home.

She bought a bungalow in Juhu for herself and her parents in mid-2005. The house went through a two year renovation with the interiors done by Twinkle Khanna and Sussanne Roshan.

In June 2005, Mukerji was widely criticized following the publication of an interview with British newspaper Desi Xpress. Mukerji was asked to name her idol and she replied, "Adolf Hitler". However, in an interview with Times Now a year later, she denied ever mentioning Hitler's name.

In November 2006, Mukerji was shooting for the film Laaga Chunari Mein Daag in Varanasi when avid fans crowded the set. Security personnel beat the crowd back. A media storm followed as various groups insisted that Mukerji should have stopped the security guards. Mukerji later issued an apology.

In March 2004, Mukerji visited the sandy dunes of Rajasthan to boost the morale of the jawans. It was for a show where entertainers and stars visit Indian troops in far-flung regions to encourage them along with the NDTV team.

In February 2005, Mukerji performed at the HELP Telethon Concert to help raise money for the victims of Tsunami in company with other Bollywood stars.

She was highly involved in the Temptations 2005 show in New Delhi. The actress helped to raise funds for the National Centre For Promotional of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP), a leading disabled rights' group.

Mukerji donated her prize money, her half-share of 50 lakh rupees from her 2007 appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati with Preity Zinta, to the Holy Family Hospital. She said that this institution looks after children with heart problems.

Mukerji is a stage performer and has participated in two world tours. Her first world tour was in the year 1999 with Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Akshaye Khanna and Twinkle Khanna. It was called the Magnificent Five.

Five years later, Temptations 2004 came along. It was the most successful Bollywood concert in its time. Mukerji performed alongside Shahrukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra in nineteen stage shows across the globe.

In 2005, Mukerji was a guest of honour at a state dinner to greet General Pervez Musharraf in company of the Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh. Mukerji was the only Bollywood actress on the elite guest list.

She appeared along with various other Bollywood actors at the Closing Ceremony of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, as part of a performance showcasing Indian culture, on behalf of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Rani Mukerji was on the top slot of Filmfare's 'Top Ten Bollywood Actresses' list for two years in a row (2004-2005). She was also placed number one on Rediff's 'Top Bollywood Female Stars' Rankings for three consecutive years (2004-2006), while in 2007, she was ranked at number five.

In February 2006, Filmfare Magazine placed her eighth amongst the "Ten Most Powerful Names of Bollywood", an achievement she repeated from the previous year, where she was ranked at number ten as the only woman on the list. In 2007, she was ranked higher at number five.

On Women's International Day 2007, Mukerji came in the fourth position on the All-Time Best Bollywood Actresses Ever Listing.

She was placed at number 36 by UK magazine Eastern Eye as one of "Asia's Sexiest Women" (Sept/2006). Mukerji is frequently featured in various lists by Rediff.com, among them, Bollywood's Most Beautiful Actresses, Bollywood's Best Dressed Women and Women of Many Faces.

Roshan’s wife later gave birth to another baby boy, named Hridhaan Roshan on May 1, 2008.

Roshan was born with two thumbs on his right hand that are partially fused together; this is considered by some to be a lucky sign.

Several newspapers carried the report, leading to student protests, in which four people died. The unrest forced the government to cancel a flight from Kathmandu to India. Later the Indian embassy and the actor himself clarified that he had made no such remarks. - Media

Interesting Facts and Figures: Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan (born Aamir Hussain Khan on March 14, 1965) is an Indian film actor, director and producer.

Khan worked in a number of commercially successful films and has established himself as one of the leading actors of Hindi cinema, delivering a number of highly acclaimed performances.

He is also the founder-owner of Aamir Khan Productions.

Appearing as a child actor in his uncle Nasir Hussain’s film Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973), Khan began his professional career eleven years later, with the film, Holi (1984).

He received his first commercial success with his cousin Mansoor Khan’s film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and won a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award for his performance in the film.

After seven previous nominations during the 1980s and 1990s, Khan received his first Filmfare Best Actor Award for his performance in Raja Hindustani (1996), his biggest commercial success so far.

In 2001, he made his debut as a film producer with the Academy Award-nominated Lagaan. Khan also played the lead role in the film and earned his second Filmfare Best Actor Award for his performance.

After a four-year break from acting, Khan made his comeback with Ketan Mehta’s The Rising (2005), and later won a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance for his role in Rang De Basanti (2006).

In 2007, he made his directorial debut with Taare Zameen Par, for which he received a Filmfare Best Director Award.

Khan was born in Bandra’s Holy Family Hospital, Mumbai, India, to a Muslim family that has been actively involved in the Indian motion picture industry for several decades.

His father, Tahir Hussain, is a film producer while his deceased uncle, Nasir Hussain, was a film producer as well as a director.

He is a descendant of the Muslim scholar and politician Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.

He is also a descendant of former President of India Dr. Zakir Hussain and a second cousin to former Chairperson of Rajya Sabha Dr Najma Heptullah.

In 2001 Khan set up a production company knownn as Aamir Khan Productions. Its first film was Lagaan. The movie was released in 2001, starring Khan as the lead actor.

Laagan was selected as India’s official entry to the 74th Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category. It was eventually chosen and nominated in that category but lost to No Man’s Land.

In 2007 he produced the drama Taare Zameen Par which marked his directorial debut.

In 2008, Khan launched his nephew Imran Khan’s debut in the film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na under his production house.

During the years of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Khan married Reena Dutta. His parents did not approve of their marriage because of her not being a Muslim. As a result, Khan’s marriage stayed a secret both from his parents and the media for a while.

Dutta made a brief appearance in the popular song sequence Papa Kehte Hain in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.

The story of Khan’s marriage garnered major public attention when it was first revealed.

Even so, Reena Dutta maintained a low profile and continued her job at a travel agency.

They had two children, a son named Junaid and a daughter, Ira, and led a quiet family life away from the public eye.

Reena was involved, briefly, in Khan’s career when she worked as a producer for Lagaan. In December 2002, Khan filed for divorce, ending the 15-year marriage, with Reena taking the custody of both their children.

On December 28, 2005, he married Kiran Rao who had been an assistant director to Ashutosh Gowariker during the filming of Lagaan.

Though nominated many times, Khan doesn’t attend any Indian film award ceremony as he feels "Indian film awards lack credibility".

In 2007, his brother Faisal caused a media scandal by accusing Khan of mistreating him and forcing him to take medication. Faisal has been said to be mentally unstable. On October 31, 2007, the Bombay high court granted temporary custody of Faisal to their father, Tahir Hussain. Khan’s family came out in a public statement, supporting him on all counts in this matter. The statement was also signed by his former wife, Reena Dutta.

In 2007, Khan was invited to have a wax imitation of himself put on display at Madame Tussauds in London. However, Khan politely declined stating that, "It’s not important to me… people will see my films if they want to.

When asked about his role model, he stated that, "Gandhiji is one person who inspires me."

Old remains gold – Dharmendra leads TRP race

“India’s Got Talent”, Bollywood veteran Dharmendra’s small screen debut, has garnered maximum television rating points (TRPs), scoring over Hrithik Roshan’s “Just Dance”, Preity Zinta’s “Guinness World Records – Ab India Todega” and even Akshay Kumar’s “Khatron Ke Khiladi 4″.

Dharmendra, 76, is one of the judges on the talent hunt show with actors Kirron Kher and Sonali Bendre. The launch episode of the show, aired on Colors July 29, received a rating of 3.9, according to data by media research agency TAM.

Star Plus’ “Just Dance”, which has Hrithik and choreographers Farah Khan and Vaibhavi Merchant as judges, received an opening rating of 3.7, “Guinness World Records – Ab India Todega”, with Preity as its host, opened with a 3.3 rating, while Akshay’s daredevil show “Khatron Ke Khiladi 4″ got a rating of 3.

Zee TV’s popular singing reality show “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs”, which has Alka Yagnik, Adnan Sami, Kailash Kher and Javed Ali as judges, had received an opening rating of 2.7.

It is quite a feat that even after completing 50 years in the film industry, Dharmendra, remembered for his role as Veeru in “Sholay”, still manages to draw in maximum viewers, as opposed to younger actors of tinsel town.

On the big screen, his last appearance was in “Yamla Pagla Deewana” along with his sons Sunny and Bobby.

John Abraham with five beauties in ‘I, Me Aur Main’

Bollywood hunk John Abraham will be seen with five actresses, including Chitrangada Singh and Prachi Desai, in a new movie “I, Me Aur Main”, to be directed by debutant Kapil Sharma, son of noted astronaut Rakesh Sharma.

Presented by Reliance Entertainment, the film is produced by Shrishti Behl Arya and Goldie Behl, the movie is a slice-of-life film about protagonist John and the women in his life.

“We’re happy to announce the title of the film ‘I, Me aur Main’ starring John Abraham directed by a very talented Kapil Sharma and presented by Reliance Entertainment. It’s a feel good film with something for everyone,” Arya said in a press statement.

Apart from Chitrangada and Prachi, actress Zareena Wahab will also be seen in the film, along with two other female leads, details of whom are currently under wraps.

“‘I Me Aur Main’ is an entertaining youthful film with a fresh and light touch. We are very pleased with the way the film is shaping and are confident it will deliver to the company’s vision of producing wholesome entertainers,” said Sanjeev Lamba, CEO of Reliance Entertainment.

The film will release early 2012.

Not Katrina or Karisma, it’s Kareena’s voiceover in ‘Bodyguard’!

Unlike most films where male actors with a baritone lend their voice for some special scenes, Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has given the voiceover for a crucial emotional scene in “Bodyguard”. If the grapevine is to be believed, her elder sister Karisma Kapoor and actress Katrina Kaif were also in the running to do the voiceover.

According to a source from the sets, Kareena, the leading lady of the Salman Khan-starrer had suggested that Karisma’s voice should be used for the sequence. Someone else from the production team suggested that Katrina, who has already shot an item number for the film with Salman, should give the voiceover for the scene. However, it was eventually decided that Kareena would do the voiceover herself.

On the other hand, producer Atul Agnihotri says Kareena’s voice was always the first choice for the scene.

“I don’t know from where is the news doing the rounds. Kareena will always be my first choice to lend her voice for this crucial scene. After all ‘Bodyguard’ is her film and she is our leading lady in the movie,” said Agnihotri.

No plans to come back as an actor – Mahima Chaudhary

Actress Mahima Chaudhary, who had pulled out from acting after marriage in 2006, has no plans to make a comeback as an actor. She believes re-emerging of an actress on the silver screen should not be hyped as a comeback.

“No plans to come back. When a director is making a movie after four years, it’s not considered his comeback. It should be same with actors. You do a lot of movies then you let others do it when you go and perform another role in life. When you again return to acting it shouldn’t be taken as their comeback. They were always there,” Mahima told reporters at the ongoing India International Jewellery Week (IIJW).

The actress appeared as a showstopper for designer Anand Shah Wednesday.

Mahima, who had been the showstopper for Sawansukha Jewellers on an earlier day, prefers cashing on her stardom through endorsements and stage shows.

“More than films, endorsements and dance shows and attending functions or appearing in any shows brings more money,” said the 37-year-old model-turned-actrss, who appeared in films like “Om Jai Jagdish”, “Dhadkan” and “Dil Kya Kare”.

Dressed in a pink sari, Mahima exhibited a maze of gold bangles, with designs made of wood and oil paints electroplated on them.

“The beauty is in the crafting of these ornaments. Yesterday it was more of diamonds, here it’s more of crafts,” said Mahima.

Designer Anand Shah said: “It’s basically circles of life. In everyone’s life there is different circles. The connection of these circles is all about life. They are all oil painted 18k gold bangles that rotates in different directions.”

Shah was one among the four designers Adorn – India’s first luxury jewellery magazine – had presented. Designer Pallavi Foley, Ahalya S and Laksh Pahuja were the others.

Actress Perizaad Zorabian exhibited three dimensional ornaments on gold and pearls of designer Pallavi Foley at the same show.

Sanjay Dutt sings for wife, walks the ramp

Sanjay Dutt walked the ramp for a jewellery show here Friday night, hand in hand with his wife Manyata and even sang a few lines for her, to loud cheers from the crowd.

Wearing a white Sherwani designed by Vikram Phadnis, Sanjay who is one of the brand ambassadors of Gitanjali jewels, walked the ramp with Manyata, who was dressed in a beige heavily embellished saree and black blouse, sporting exquisite diamond jewellery. The couple drew tremendous applause.

Then the emcee asked Sanjay to hum a few lines for his wife, and accepting the request, the 52-year-old actor sang a line of his song “Ae Shivani”, changing the lyrics a little bit and incorporating Manyata’s name in the song instead of Shivani.

To this Manyata, who last year gave birth to the couple’s twins, a boy named Shahraan and a girl named Iqra, expressed her love for Sanjay by saying: “The biggest diamond of my life is my husband and my two kids.”

Sanjay had married Manyata in 2008, after two years of dating.

The event also saw appearances by Bipasha Basu, Ajay Devgn, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Neha Dhupia, Riya Sen and Prachi Desai among others.

I AM KALAM Review: The film is a winning proposition

The film more than makes up for its failings with sheer heart

Films with children being the protagonists have been releasing thick and fast recently with the over praised Stanley Ka Dabba, the saccharine Chillar Party and the stolen Cycle Kick being recent example. Though severely flawed, Nila Madhan Panda’s debut feature I Am Kalam is a winning addition to the genre.

Little Chhotu (Haresh Mayar), from an indigent Rajasthani family, is sent to work at his uncle Bhati’s (Gulshan Grover) highway dhaba. The boy is as bright as a button and shows not just a keen aptitude for his job, but also a thirst for learning. This earns him the ire of the other dhaba employee, the film obsessed Laptan (Pitobash), who is overshadowed.

After seeing president APJ Abdul Kalam on television, Chhotu is inspired and takes heart that he can defeat his poverty and grow up to become a man of substance. He styles his hair similarly to the president and even begins calling himself Kalam. The dhaba also supplies victuals to a nearby haveli, half of which is let out to tourists and the other half is occupied by the ruler of the erstwhile principality and his family that includes prince Ranvijay (Hussan Saad), a lonely boy of Chhotu’s age. The two form a fast friendship and share their knowledge with each other.

The film’s biggest flaw is its script where major events are telegraphed miles in advance, thus lessening the impact when they occur. The viewer is also left in no doubt that Chhotu’s burning ambition to get ahead in life will only reach a happy conclusion. The script also gets needlessly sidetracked with strands that are introduced but left half-explored, like ex-royals bemoaning the loss of kingdoms; the rigid class divide in Rajasthan; foreign tourists and their relationship with India, etc. However, the film more than makes up for its failings with sheer heart. What comes across is a genuine attempt by Panda to highlight the issues of child illiteracy in India and how, given the right opportunity, even the poorest child can crest pinnacles, much like the inspirational real life story of president Kalam himself.

The director is immeasurably helped by a clutch of great performances, especially by Mayar as Chhotu/Kalam. Grover sheds his villainous tag and delivers a mature performance as the kindly dhaba owner who has an unrequited love. Pitobash as the dhaba hand is excellent, especially when doing his terrible Amitabh Bachchan impressions. But the best performance of the film is by Hussan Saad who plays the cloistered rich prince to perfection. Though the film is all about Chhotu, the real character arc is that of prince Ranvijay who emerges from his cocoon butterfly-like by the end of the film. There is also some wonderful Rajasthani folk music that enriches the soundtrack of this heart-warming film.

Salman’s dad to write ‘Chillar Party’ sequel

Salim Khan has agreed to come out of retirement for his son’s production

Salman Khan’s production Chillar Party took everyone by surprise with its innocent portrayal of childhood. So naturally, it will have a sequel. Isn’t that the trend nowadays? But what’s exciting is that the sequel will be written by Salman’s dad Salim Khan. In the 1970s, the veteran scriptwriter teamed up with Javed Akhtar and over the next two decades wrote hits such as Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Zanjeer, Sholay, Chacha Bhatija, Shakti and Mr India. However, the duo then broke up their partnership. Salim’s solo films failed to create the same magic at the box office. Remember Toofan and Akayla with Amitabh Bachchan? Aa Gale Lag Jaa with Jugal Hansraj and Urmila Matondkar? Or even Dil Tera Deewana and Majhdhaar with Salman? So it was not surprising when he put down his pen for good. But with Chillar Party’s success and Salman’s career on a high, Salim is ready to make a comeback. Does that mean Salman will play a significant role in the film? We don’t know yet, but we wish the senior Khan luck.

Prakash Jha’s office, home attacked for ‘Aarakshan’

New Delhi: Filmmaker Prakash Jha Saturday said his house and office in Mumbai were attacked by political activists who wished to obstruct the release of his film ‘Aarakshan,’ based on caste-based reservations in the Indian education system.

"Just heard that my office and home have been attacked by political activists who are against the release of `Aarakshan`," Jha posted on his Twitter page Saturday evening.

The film is set to hit screens Aug 12.

Jha is currently in the capital, along with megastar Amitabh Bachchan and other cast members, to promote the movie.

Republican Party of India (RPI) chief Ramdas Athavale had earlier said that his party will not let theatres in Maharashtra screen the movie if it does not change its ‘anti-Dalit’ stance. Prior to that, the National Commission of Scheduled Castes (NCSC) also termed the film ‘anti-Dalit.’

The NCSC had even asked Jha to screen the film for a panel before its release Aug 12. But Jha is unfazed.

At a press conference here Friday, Jha said he is a ‘responsible’ filmmaker, and would not sensationalise a sensitive subject for entertainment.
The filmmaker, known for his projects on socio-political issues and their effects on the society, was recently denied permission to stage a grand show in Lucknow to promote ‘Aarakshan’ by the state administration on grounds of "apprehension of breach of peace".

The film also features Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Manoj Bajpayee and Prateik Babbar.

Daniel Craig thankful ‘Bond 23’ is back on track

London: Daniel Craig has revealed that he thought the latest Bond film ‘Bond 23’ would never be made and he would turn too old to fit into the role of the iconic superspy.

The 43-year-old English actor said that after the work on ‘Bond 23’ was shelved in April 2010 for financial troubles, he was apprehensive that he would never utter the words “The name’s Bond, James Bond” again.

“If we couldn’t get the film made it would be ridiculous because we’d made all this money and it was a good bet. They were just in a very complicated financial situation but there was nothing [the film-makers] could do. Either it was going to sort itself out or I was going to get too old and that would be the end of it. I was desperate to have another crack at it. I think I would have felt disappointed eventually,” the Daily Express quoted him as telling Esquire magazine.

Luckily a rescue deal was confirmed, with the work scheduled to start later this year.

Thanks to rains, ‘Ferrari...’ team shoots crucial scene

New Delhi: The Mumbai rains kept the team of Vidhu Vinod Chopra`s ‘Ferrari Ki Sawaari’ waiting for two months to shoot a crucial cricket sequence as they wanted to capture it in natural rainfall. They finally got to shoot the scene last week.

The film features Sharman Joshi and Deepika Padukone in key roles.

According to a source from the sets, the cricket scene was filmed at the University Ground, Marine Lines in Mumbai, in heavy downpour, which was a blessing to the team as they were waiting for the perfect weather for a long time.

The cast and crew kept postponing the date to capture this portion as it forms an important part of the film, which is centred around a young boy who harbours a dream to play cricket at Lord`s in England.

Debutant director Rajesh Mapuskar was keen that the scene be nothing less than perfect, and all the team members gave their support by managing their dates for the shoot accordingly. The scene was shot over two days.

"I have been working under Rajkumar Hirani and Vinod Chopra for a while now and one of the first things that I have learnt is to be true to the script," Mapuskar said in a statement.

"Earlier also we shot with the authentic backdrop of Mumbai University. We also shot live on roads among live audiences - even while shooting with Sharman. So it was very important for us to authentically shoot this cricket sequence as it happens to be one of our most important scenes," he added.

The film`s first shooting schedule is over, and over half the film shooting is already done. The team is all geared to finish the work soon now.

"Sixty percent of the filming is over and we are very much running on schedule. Our next schedule will begin post-September 2011 after the rains," Mapuskar said.

Hrithik Roshan cracks overseas market

Mumbai: Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan is riding high on the success of his latest release 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.' His upcoming 'Krrish 2' is fetching skyrocketing prices for its music and satellite rights much ahead of its shooting - and is expected to be high on the overseas market too.

A source close to the actor revealed that the music rights have been sold for Rs.6 crore and the satellite rights given out for Rs.38 crore. The price has surpassed superstar Shah Rukh Khan`s upcoming superhero flick 'RA.One' which has been sold at a reported Rs.35 crore.

The bidding for the movie is expected to be high on overseas rights too, and Hrithik is elated.

"The overseas market is a hard one to crack because there`s no guarantee that a film that works in India will do well there. So, it`s heartening that five of my films (`Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham`, `Dhoom 2` `Jodhaa Akbar`, `Kites` and `Zindagi...`) have conquered both markets. The breakthrough came with `Dhoom 2`," Hrithik said in a press statement.

'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' grossed Rs.22 crore from the overseas market within 10 days of its release, and Hrithik feels his popularity has also grown thanks to his statue in Madame Tussaud`s wax museum in London.

"The statue at Madame Tussaud`s also got me a lot of attention and was symbolic of a decade-long journey that should inspire my sons to march ahead despite the hurdles," added the actor, who unveiled his wax statue in London earlier this year.

However, the 37-year-old refuses to agree he is in competition with Bollywood`s Khans - Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir.

"I wouldn`t want to lump Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman together as the `Khans` because they are distinct individuals who have seen maximum failures, and yet, risen to great heights.

"We don`t see ourselves as superheroes and walk around with crowns on our heads. We`re just actors doing what we know best. The advantage is that being the last link in the chain, we get all the eyeballs and praise," he added.

Hrithik is currently shooting for the remake of 'Agneepath,' and he would start work on 'Krrish 2' in November this year.

Winnie the Pooh to debut in Indian cinemas

New Delhi: Whether you`re six or 60 - one look at the golden, honey-loving bear and you know you`re going to love Winnie the Pooh. The philosophical cartoon is making its debut on the Indian big screen Aug 12, and producer The Walt Disney Company promises the film will be a delight for "grandparents and grandchildren alike".

"As it is with our movies, we look at family entertainers and `Winnie the Pooh` will be entertaining for grandparents and grandchildren alike. The story may be kids-driven, but also caters to a family audience," Seshasaye Kanthamraju, executive director (Marketing and Distribution), The Walt Disney Company (India), told reporters.

Pooh, the character, was developed by British author A.A. Milne.

In the past, there have been several short and feature length films made as part of the "Winnie the Pooh" series. But the last full-length movie with Pooh as the lead character by Disney was "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" in 1977.

"It`s been a while, almost 35 years since a full-length Pooh movie came on the big screen even internationally. Sadly, that movie didn`t come to India. But this time Winnie the Pooh is making it here," Kanthamraju added.

In 2000, Disney released the full-length film "The Tigger Movie" in which Pooh`s friend Tigger played the leading role. Following its success, two more feature-length Pooh movies based on other characters related to Pooh, were released - "Piglet`s Big Movie" (2003) and "Pooh`s Heffalump Movie" (2005).

Indian viewers are quite aware of Winnie the Pooh as a character through, what Kanthamraju calls, the "Disney difference" - books and merchandise based on it.

"Winnie the Pooh", directed by Stephen Anderson and Don Hall, will take fans down a 68-minute long adventure trip to the Hundred Acre Wood, the fictional land inhabited by Winnie the Pooh and his friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Roo, and Eeyore.

The latest animated Pooh feature has been created out of three of Milne`s stories.

"At Disney, we aim at providing wholesome entertainment for all age groups. So this movie too has elements of fun, friendship and love through Pooh`s adventures in the woods. We are sure children would take back some learning," said Kanthamraju.

"We are super excited about bringing Pooh to India for the first time," he added.

The movie has also been made keeping in mind the idea to draw a young, below eight-year-old audience to cinema halls.

"Though it is more a storytelling process, it turns out to be a huge advantage for parents whose toddlers can`t sit through long, three-hour movies in a dark hall. So they can enjoy the movie peacefully, and introduce their kids to the world of cinema in an entertaining way," said Kanthamraju.

According to him, the existence or absence of quality children`s films in India makes for a "philosophical debate".

"I would say there`s good space for family entertainers which everyone can watch. We have always believed in films with characters and stories that cater to a universal crowd. We have fun with our stories in that space, and so far it`s worked well," he said.

Next up from Disney`s bouquet will be "Muppets", which will release in December.
