Race to have a sequel with same star cast
2008-03-27 04:22:00
Race has opened to a record breaking response and as things stand today, at worse this TIPS film is a box office HIT. No wonder, director duo of Abbas and Mustan is on cloud nine with Race coming as a shot in the arm, especially after Naqaab and 36 China Town not doing particularly well at the box office.The obvious question which the filmmakers are being faced with - Would Race have a sequel? After all it is pretty much a possibility.- The film's ending was open ended and two of the main protagonists who supposedly get killed aren't actually shown dead on screen. Also, the relationship between the other two protagonists too has been left open for speculation. What does the director duo feel about this?Says Abbas, "Yes, it is true that the ending of Race has been left open. In fact Ramesh Taurani has been having discussions with us to see if we can develop the plot further and get a sequel in the running."- With the film getting a huge response, it would indeed be quite challengin...

"Learn to act, Shah Rukh" ? teases Juhi Chawla
2008-03-27 04:07:00
Shah Rukh Khan was at the receiving end of some good-humoured bantering by co-star Juhi Chawla on the sets of Bhootnath . We all know how good friends SRK and Juhi Chawla are. They have paired together in a number of films in the past and are coming together yet again in producer Ravi Chopra?s film ?Bhootnath? that is being directed by Vivek Sharma. The camaraderie and chemistry between SRK and Juhi was evident on the sets of the film. In fact, Juhi showed that if there is anyone (except Aamir Khan , of course) who can banter with SRK, it was she. It happened during a shoot in which SRK, Juhi and Vivek Oberoi were taking part. Despite a busy schedule, SRK was his flamboyant self on the sets. He memorized his dialogues to perfection while doing the make-up, and when he faced the camera, he delivered his lines flawlessly and okayed his shots in a single take only. ...

Hrithik Roshan is back in action! From playing the traditional and upright Emperor Akbar, he has been made to loosen up and put on his dancing shoes for Papa Roshan?s Krazzy 4. ?Call me item boy or anything else, I really don?t care. I haven?t danced for years. I was busy shooting for a film in which I didn?t get to dance at all and then I got injured. I?m only too glad to put on my dancing shoes and be able to groove to one of the best dance tracks I?ve listened to in a long time,? states Hrithik enthusiastically. A lot of people have complimented me on my dancing. But I was never too sure, nor satisfied; I wanted to do better,? explains the actor who received huge praise for his performance in Jodhaa-Akbar . ?I always took my body for granted. Then I injured my knee and was on crutches for a month. There was a possibility that I wouldn?t dance ever again. I?m grateful to God that I recovered and recuperated only to return to the dance floor for my dad?s film. I?ve n...

Shilpa Shocked: I'm married?

A report on a website has published a picture of Shilpa 's visit to Shirdi Sai Baba Temple this week along with her family and boyfriend Raj Kundra, and speculated the actress has secretly married him."Shilpa is flabbergasted with such irresponsible journalism," said her publicist Dale Bhagwagar.Apart from misreporting, the piece is accompanied by dirty and derogatory comments by various surfers on a discussion board below the write-up, adding insult to injury for Shilpa.

BIG-B experiments with bhootnath's song
2008-03-26 10:54:00
It indeed is fortuitous that when Amitabh Bachchan displayed for the first time his prowess in expressing his ability to play with verse with aplomb in Yash Chopra's KABHIE KABHIE he is rendering his twenty-fifth song in his nephew's film BHOOTNATH. It indeed has been a journey where the numbers of songs have been very less, but if it were to be viewed from the success rates, most of his songs have hit the bull's eye and he would be one of the rare stars who has had such flirtation with song singing in his illustrious career. No other star in the modern times had this long sojourn and affair with a singing career as Amitabh Bachchan is having it right now. His real singing career began with MR. NATWARLAL, which had his baritone voice flowing in the form of narrative of a bard, and this song still finds a place in various billboard collections made of the songs about children. However, he displayed his finesses in crooning non-sense lyrics with aplomb in AMAR AKB...

Pakistanis never tire of Bollywood and they couldn't be happier with two back-to-back releases of Indian movies, never mind the censor board's scissors.After the racy action caper "Race" opened to packed houses last Friday, Pakistanis are eagerly awaiting Aamir Khan's debut directorial venture "Taare Zameen Par", which opens on March 28."Race" was the second Indian film after John Abraham's "Goal" to be released simultaneously in Pakistan and India.It was smooth sailing with the censor board for "Taare Zameen Par", a children's drama about a dyslexic boy, which hit Indian cinema halls last year. But "Race" faced a bit of trouble with the censor board, which asked UTV Motion Pictures to cut some scenes before granting it a U/A certificate.With "Taare's" release this Friday, UTV will become the only Indian company to have a third release in Pakistan in less than six months."Race" is being distributed in Pakistan by Karachi-based Eveready Pictures, which released 15 prints in nin...

Sometimes words hurt more than weapons. This has proved true for the Bollywood crowd as well.Recently, the Filmfare awards were conducted by the twin Khans - Shah Rukh and Saif, and though they made the audience laugh their hearts out, what they said was later scrutenized and has left many people wounded.

Newton's third law of motion states that 'To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction'. But when it comes to this man, looking at his action, the onlookers fail to give reaction, since they become soooo very awestruck and dumbfounded! He is Bollywood's very own Akki alias Akshay Kumar alias Rajeev Bhatia.His story of rags to riches (read 'kitchen to studios') is nothing new. But, what is new is the fact that Akshay has done some of the breath taking stunts in his most eagerly expected forthcoming film Sing h Is Kinng, which is directed Anees Bazmee and produced by Vipul Shah.The stunt that he performed for this film, which had everyone skip a heartbeat, required him to jump from one moving elevator to the other at a height of a whopping 110 feet!

2008-02-20 16:23:00
The majestic sets of Ashutosh Gowariker's historical JODHAA AKBAR have been the topic of discussion, within and outside the industry. The magnificent palaces and forts, the grandeur, the splendor, the opulent look seems to have caught the attention of moviegoers within and outside the country. That, in turn, has prompted its makers and also the creator of those sets, Nitin Chandrakant Desai, to open the gates of the studio [N.D. Studios, where the film was shot] for public.“I decided against dismantling the sets after DEVDAS,” Nitin Chandrakant Desai tells me, “After having watched the sets on screen, a lot of people were keen to visit the studios and watch them in real. It's also heart-breaking to dismantle the sets that have been painstakingly created over a period of time. That's when I decided to retain the sets of JODHAA AKBAR and throw open the gates of the studio for tourists, on the lines of Universal Studios in Los Angeles.”Although the gates of N.D.

'Guru' was more of a biopic with a cavalcade of characters claiming screen space, but this film will focus primarily on the romance. It's a very intense film and Mani's most romantic film to date. It is based on real life characters."

Ashutosh Gowariker, the man who almost won India an Oscar with LAGAAN is back. This time he brings another classic, JODHAA AKBAR. However, like with most big projects, the first formality, controversies and protests are welcoming the saga of the mighty Mughal Emperor Akbar (Hrithik Roshan), the rebellious Rajput princess Jodhaa (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and their love that shaped the destiny of a subcontinent.Without getting into the nitty-gritties of the synthetic controversy, Ashutosh puts it plainly - In the case of JODHAA AKBAR, things are already entrenched in history.
