Dimple's Cameo in Akshay's Film

0
0

Over the last few years, Dimple Kapadia has been surprising the audience with her choice of offbeat and out-of-the-box films. This time around, she seems to have delivered the biggest knock-out of all. We’ve heard that Dimple has done a rib-tickling cameo in son-in-law Akshay Kumar’s latest film, The Shaukeens.

The film, in which Akshay plays his most special appearance, is releasing this Friday. Since Akshay is playing himself in the film (a spoof on himself actually), the makers felt it would be apt to bring his mother-in-law in the film to accentuate some of his characteristics. When they bounced off the idea to Akshay, he was excited with the thought. He spoke about it to Dimple and she laughed all the way while he was describing it to her. And she agreed immediately.

The portion was shot a few days back in Juhu, Mumbai. It was a miniscule unit. We hear that Akshay himself was present at the shooting. In fact, the actor even helped director Abhishek Sharma put together the entire scene. As Sharma says, “Dimpleji is a legend. Akshay being on set just made everyone a bit comfortable. At the end of the scene, Dimpleji sits in a car and drives off. That car has been driven by Akshay himself,” he reveals.

For Dimple, obviously, there was no greater joy than being a part of a film starring Akshay. “Also, the concept was so funny that I just couldn’t say no to it. It’s really nice to see how younger filmmakers are thinking these days.”

Actor-filmmaker Thiagarajan is kicked about grabbing a "golden opportunity" to direct the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada remakes of Bollywood film "Special 26".

Viacom18 Motion Pictures has sold the remake rights of the 2013 entertainer to Thiagarajan of Star Movies. He also has the remake rights of "Queen".

"This time, I grabbed the golden opportunity of remaking 'Special 26' in all four south Indian languages and I will have the honour of directing this mammoth movie in all four south Indian languages," Thiagarajan said in a statement.

He is glad that the movie has not just won "accolades, acclaim and awards", but also "box office rewards".

"Special 26" is based on a real life group of con artists who pulled off many clever robberies during the 1980s, and robbed famous businessmen and politicians by pretending to be the CBI or Income tax officers. Under the pretext of conducting raids, the con artists would take away all the black money hoarded by them.

Starring Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher and Manoj Bajpayee, the film garnered critical as well as box office success.

The cast of the Tamil remake will see Prashant stepping into the shoes of Akshay Kumar, while Prakash Raj has been signed to play the role essayed by Manoj. Satyaraj will play Anupam's part and the other cast members include Nasser, Shyaji Shinde, MS Baaskar, Rao Ramesh, Brammaji and Thulasi.

Talking about the development of the remakes, Ajit Andhare, chief operating officer, Viacom18 Motion Pictures, said: “'Special 26' is an intelligent entertainer. The film is based on true events which makes it universally appealing across languages. We’re confident that our film will excite audiences in the South the same way that the original material did.”

I loved Rati Agnihotri in 'Shaukeen': Lisa Haydon

0
0

Actress Lisa Haydon says she's a fan of Rati Agnihotri's performance in the 1982 film "Shaukeen", which has inspired the forthcoming film "The Shaukeens".

"Shaukeen", a cult film by Basu Chatterjee, starred Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt, A.K. Hangal and Rati in key roles.

The new age film "The Shaukeens", which releases Friday, features Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor and Piyush Mishra.

Lisa said: "Rati Agnihotri was fantastic in the (1982) film. I completely loved her."

She also clarified that her character Ahana in "The Shaukeens" is very different from Rati's part.

"I am enjoying the fact that the humour in this comedy is very self-deprecating. Every actor has made a great effort to laugh at himself," she said.

The experience of working on "The Shaukeens" has been wonderful for Lisa, who has been noticed for her work in "Aisha" and "Queen" in the past.

"'Queen' was equally satisfying in its own way, even though it was a small film. 'The Shaukeens' has given me an opportunity to work with amazing actors. I don't think I have seen a comedy like this in Indian cinema before," she said.

The film is directed by Abhishek Sharma.

Lisa's role was earlier offered to Nargis Fakhri. But no, she isn't complaining.

"I don't complain about my blessings," said the dusky beauty.

Amitabh's varied moods during 'Piku' shoot

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan Monday sported a rather pensive look during the ongoing shooting of "Piku", a day after he was seen merrily pedalling across the streets here in a pink kurta.

The 71-year-old actor's looks are as varied as the locations and has kept the public guessing about the film.

According to some media speculation, the icon was reportedly taken ill while shooting at the Burdwan House in Alipore, in south Kolkata. Shooting was temporarily stalled but later it was revealed that all's well.

Clad in a loose fitting light beige kurta, and a light grey half-sweater and hidden under a wig with generous sprinklings of grey, the one-time angry young man of Indian cinema, seated on stacked plastic chairs on a stunning green lawn at the Burdwan House in light sunshine, made for a vibrant contrast.

He was seen tinkering with his smartphone at times while there were hints of a smile too in between.

But the thinking-man persona was abundant.

Fans circled the building for most part of the day to get a glimpse of Big B.

Amitabh arrived in the city Sunday morning to shoot for "Vicky Donor" director Shoojit Sircar's upcoming film "Piku", where he plays the role of father to Deepika Padukone.

The Bollywood superstar Sunday became nostalgic and relished "too many memories" of Kolkata as he pedalled on a bicycle, with a twinkle in his eyes, through the city's nerve centre BBD Bagh that houses numerous heritage structures as also the Writers Buildings - the regular seat of the West Bengal government.

Amitabh had migrated to the eastern metropolis in search of a future and a job in the early 1960s and survived on a salary of Rs.500 by working for a private company. Later, he switched to Mumbai to make it big on the silver screen.

He cycled Sunday afternoon as part of the shooting for the film that is scheduled to hit the screens April 30, 2015.

He made a successful foray into production, but now actor-producer Jimmy Sheirgill wants to do one thing at time and hence has decided to stick to acting for the time being.

He had turned producer in 2011 with Punjabi film "Dharti" and the Rs.4.2 crore movie earned Rs.7.5 crore at the box office.

"I just want to focus on acting right now. I have done production and it's a full time job. For the time being, I have taken break from production as I want to give all my time to acting," said the actor who is busy shooting for "Gun Pe Done".

He has always wowed all and sundry with his performance and the latest being "Fugly".

"I am extremely happy with the kind of response I got for my performance in 'Fugly'. It was a huge challenge for me to do an out an out negative character. It was a difficult role. So I am enjoying this phase as an actor," he added.

In "Gun Pe Done" he plays a huge fan of late actor Feroz and said that his character is a struggling actor who feels he is an expert at mimicking actor Feroz Khan.

"But the fact is that he is a bad actor," he said and added: "We are trying to add humour with realism. I hope it will be an interesting film. It's a new experience for me. Not that I have not done comedy, but this is a nice break for me."

Directed by Abhik Bhanu, "Gun Pe Done" is being produced under the banner of Pioneer Films & Entertainment LLP. Jimmy headlines the cast that also features Sanjay Mishra and Vijay Raaz among others.

Want to do films that my son can enjoy: Akshay Kumar

0

From action to comedy to drama, Akshay Kumar has done everything in his over two decade long acting career. And now his desire is to work on projects that his son Aarav can enjoy.

Asked about his choices while signing films, he said: "I want to do some good films. I don't want to do a film just because it will make Rs.100 crore or Rs.200 crore.

"I want to do films that my son can enjoy. If he doesn't like my film, he comes to me and tells me that he didn't understand the film at all."

In a time when stars are sticking to one or two films in a year rule, Akshay is still doing more than that and for him managing multiple projects is a child's play.

"People accuse me of doing four films in a year, but it's not impossible," said the actor who already had two releases this year - "Holiday -A Soldier Is Never Off Duty" and "It's Entertainment".

"Actors should reach sets on time. If actors would come on time, then the crew would also come on time. It's not impossible to shoot four films in a year if you reach sets on time," said Akshay who will wind up the year with "The Shaukeens", coming out Nov 7.

Akshay's co-stars in Abhishek Sharma directed fun filled drama “The Shaukeens” is Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor, and Piyush Mishra. Lisa Haydon too features in the film.

He is a star, but his journey had been dotted with ups and downs. He says that those filmmakers who refused to work him when he was going through the flop phase, now makes a beeline outside his house.

But now the tables have turned and Akshay wants to work on his terms and condition.

"It's not their mistake that they didn't cast me when I was a flop artist, and I feel you should take it positively and work hard. Not once or twice thrice the filmmakers have come back to me. Now when they come back, I quote my price," said the 47-year-old.

'Unique band' has best of talent from India, Pakistan

0
0

Lahore-based musician Mekaal Hasan has done something unique by adding Indian artistes to his band last year. Now out with a new album "Andholan", aptly named, he says it's more adventurous in its writing style and believes that the "unique band" has best talent from his homeland and India.

Popular for Sufi rock music, the band was formed in 2001 and has seen a change in its members since then. With Hasan taking on the role of lead guitarist and fellow Pakistani Mohammad Ahsan Papu on flute, the remaining members are Indians -- vocalist Sharmistha Chatterjee, bassist Sheldon D'Silva and drummer Gino Banks.

Hasan met Banks and D'Silva in 2007 in Mumbai. They became friends and he would hear them play on his visits to India.

"I would marvel at their talent and eventually Gino and I started discussing how we could carry on the idea of the band with an Indian contingent involved.

"Thus started our journey of how to make this rather unique band, which I believe has the best contemporary talent from both sides playing as one unit," Hasan told IANS in an email interaction from Lahore.

"I have been touring in India for over a decade and I felt that there was so much which we shared in common through our music, our poetry, our culture and that there was every reason to bring in the music to be played with the finest musicians on the Indian circuit," he added.

He believes that the incarnation of the band is its finest and reflects the wide range of sound and dynamics.

And the response has been "overwhelming".

"I think both countries understand that our true strengths are our people and their ideas, our collective ability to innovate and overcome even under trying circumstances.

"In Pakistan, many fellow musicians have called or messaged and been all praises for the band's invigorated sound and presentation," he said.

Likewise, he says, friends and peers in the Indian music industry have embraced the band with open arms.

"I am truly moved by how nice everyone has been and how much respect and love they have all shown. At the end of the day, if we play music of value, we also appreciate and yearn for the love and respect of our peers. For me, such gestures of warmth say so much about the love we all share for quality music and musicians," he said.

Talking about "Andholan", he said: "'Andholan' as a record features a progressive writing style that I think it came off well. The challenge now is to make it sound even better live!"

They plan to perform internationally and in India as well.

"I believe we have some engagements coming up in this season which will be taking us to various cities in India," shared Hasan, who also produces and engineers records and singles at his Digital Fidelity Studios.

He is also open to Bollywood projects.

"If there is something which my music can compliment or work with, sure. But my primary intent is to play my music with this band," said the 41-year-old.

In "Nightcrawler", Gyllenhaal plays Louis 'Lou' Bloom, a success-crazy freelance crime journalist.

"Like Lou, Riz’s character too came to life through his portrayal of a naïve homeless intern who is something like Lou’s assistant. I thought he was perfect," Gyllenhaal said.

Fond of Indian films, find soaps boring: Nadia Jamil

0
0

Pakistani actress Nadia Jamil is happy with the "wonderful stir" created by TV shows from her country in India, but she is not excited about watching Indian soaps. However she loves Indian movies.

Many Pakistani shows, which are being aired on Hindi entertainment channel Zindagi, have been praised by Indian viewers and her show "Dhoop Chhaon" is one of them. She is naturally delighted.

"I knew people would like the plays, because I know the themes across both our borders, our stories, our relationships inside the family network are similar," Nadia told IANS in an email interaction from Lahore.

"I didn't realise they would create such a wonderful stir. Feel blessed we can share our talent across the border," she added.

But her opinion on Indian soaps is completely different.

Asked about Indian shows, she said: "I find them very boring. It's surprising that in a country as diverse and exciting as India, TV soaps remain trapped in the same formula of tacky glamour and stock shots."

"They don't express or explore the textures, light, locations, incredible strong women and dynamic of today's India. I can't watch it. I fall asleep. No offence please, it's probably just a matter of different tastes," she added.

But the "romance addict" is in awe of Bollywood films and stars.

She loves the work of Guru Dutt, Satyajit Ray, David Dhawan and Vishal Bhardwaj.

Among actors, she likes Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Deepika Padukone, Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapoor, Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher.

“I'm very fond of many Indian films! A film I can watch a 100 times... ‘Abhimaan’, ‘Wake Up Sid’, ‘Silsila’ and ‘Kabhie Kabhie’,” she shared.

But she has no interest in joining the Hindi film industry.

Asked if she would like to try her hand at Bollywood, she said: “Nope. I'm hoping to become a better actor. However, whenever, wherever.”

Married for 14 years in real life, she is currently seen as Shandana, a working woman who is not happy in her marriage, in “Dhoop Chhaon”. She says she “felt sorry for my poor struggling character”.

“I wished I could give her some tips, but she had to take her own path and find her own truth,” said Nadia, who started acting at the age of 13.

She enjoys acting, but selecting projects isn't easy for her.

"I guess choosing the project is the scariest part. It's like choosing a life partner! I'm never really sure if I want to commit," she said.
