Karan Johar on His New Film With Kajol and SRK
2008-02-12 16:21:00
Karan Johar after the fiasco of  KANK is done with themes of adultery. His next project is tentatively  titled “Khan” and will star his dream team of Kajol and Shahrukh Khan. Some excerpts from an interview:   So you finally got your dream team together? Yes, Kajol is doing my film and I’m very happy… last time, she hadn’t turned down my film, per se. I needed her to shoot out of the country for ninety days and she didn’t want to leave Nysa for such a long time. This time around I told her, ‘I need you. You just have to do my film.’ That was it. The SRK-Kajol jodi comes with expectations. I’d like people not to think of the kind of love story they have in their head. This is very screenplay-driven. I have just cast the actors that are required for the film. I haven’t looked at SRK and Kajol as a pair. It’s been written by Shibaji Bhatija and she has done a great job. But I am pertified, mortified ...

2008-02-11 08:54:00
Chitrangada Singh after making a stunning debut in Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi disappeared from the limelight and chose to concentrate on her marriage. She is back with Sudhir Mishra's Aur Devdas and Onir's Sorry Bhai and here are some excerpts from an interview:•   You were just two-films-old when you decided to leave. What could possibly be the pressures at such a preliminary stage of your career?(Laughs) The pressures were very personal. It was something that didn't work out between someone and me. I came to films for a lark. A lot of people confused me for the strong character, Geeta, that I played in Hazaaron… I was burdened with expectations. But I was this young girl who liked other things in life too.•    What has changed so drastically now? In fact there is even more competition and the race is only getting tougher.What's changed is my mind, nothing much otherwise. Now, I'm mentally prepared for the challenges that...

NY Times on Jodhaa Akbar
2008-02-11 08:48:00
Jodhaa Akbar is not  only creating waves at home ground but also abroad. NY Times recently did a piece on this magnum opus and here are some excerpts.LAST October Aishwarya Bachchan grappled with a tough choice. The Bollywood star could either stay in Los Angeles to pursue a lead role in Will Smith’s new film, “Seven Pounds,” or she could return home to Mumbai to celebrate Karva Chauth, a daylong ceremonial fast that some married Hindu women observe as a prayer for their husband’s health and long life. (The observance is a new one for Ms. Bachchan; in April she married Abhishek Bachchan, an actor and the son of the Indian film star Amitabh Bachchan, a union that prompted Time magazine to describe the three as “Bollywood’s Father, Son and Holy Babe.”)Ultimately Ms. Bachchan chose to return to Mumbai and starve with a smile. National television channels covered her first Karva Chauth as headline news. Two months later she shrugged off he...

I don't get bogged down by age. I'm just happy to be where I am.So tell me, where have you been hiding yourself?Nowhere! Just been shooting out of Mumbai in the freezing winter of Jaipur for my friend Rakeysh Mehra's Dilli 6. But the warmth of our unit just makes you forget the weather conditions. I'm lucky to be working with friends constantly.But why have you been lying low?It isn't a conscious decision. Unfortunately, such is the nature of our career that we interact with the media only at an event or when a release is around the corner. Otherwise, we tend to get caught up in shootings.

When do we see you play a regular guy again?It’s true I find it a bigger challenge to play characters which are a departure from my own personality. (Laughs) I guess I was bored playing myself. Also, all the recent films have worked, both personally and commercially.

She wants to focus on her family duties while doing very selective work."My attitude to my career remains unchanged. I remain the same. It's people around me who imagine I've become a different person. They insist on portraying me the way they perceive me in their minds," Aishwarya told IANS in an interview."Never mind if they're way off the mark.

"Oh no! I am a liberal," he said.Another question on his favourite for the US presidential race was met with a not-so-subtle answer. "I had supported Obama in the Senate race."His support for Democrat presidential candidate contender Barack Obama has been no secret - having supported him enthusiastically at various forums and described him as an "impressive" candidate.Clooney said he was too new to the job of a UN messenger of peace to talk about it."I do not want to talk, I want to listen first," he said, as he pointed out that he was the "son of a newsman".
