Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre, a mother to an eight-year-old boy, lent support to a campaign to prevent dengue in the country. She said it is vital to take preventive measures all the time.

The campaign - Fight Dengue For Payal - was launched here Wednesday as a joint initiative by pest control brand Allout and Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI).

The campaign is named after a 12-year-old girl named Payal Samariya, who saw her friend suffering from dengue and was inspired to be part of this campaign.

"As a mother, I do not want children like Payal to suffer from diseases like dengue," said Sonali.

"Dengue can happen to anyone at any age, it's us who have to take preventive measures to fight this disease. Let us all come together with Payal to fight against mosquito-borne diseases and help protect our families," added the actress..

The campaign will be implemented between the months of September and November in Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.

Jaipur-based girl Payal has committed her time and energy to be part of this programme which will help spread prevention messages to as many people as possible.

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease and is transmitted to people by the virus-infected Aedes mosquito. Periods during and after monsoon have higher rates of mosquito activity, turning stagnant water, including puddles near roads and trenches, into breeding grounds.

During this season, the incidence of dengue increases, making it even more critical to take the necessary steps to prevent it from reaching epidemic proportions.

"Dengue is a disease that can attack anyone. More than 22,000 dengue cases have already been reported in India till August this year," said P.C. Bhatnagar, director, communicable diseases, VHAI.

"There is a need for utmost caution and a high-level of preparedness with regard to outbreak of vector-borne diseases during the current weather conditions which are marked by intermittent showers and fluctuation in temperature," added Bhatnagar.

Bollywood actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan features in one of the most awaited films of the year, "Dhoom 3", he says he is not thinking about how many records it will break.

Reacting to reports stating that he has claimed that "Dhoom 3" will surpass the business of Shah Rukh Khan's "Chennai Express", Aamir said in a statement:"I am not interested in breaking records. I am an artist, and what gives me a high is to entertain my audience, to give them a good time, and to satisfy them emotionally."

Aamir's last release "Talaash" was appreciated for his performance, but the movie couldn't mint too much moolah. The actor believes the challenge does not lie in building numbers at the box office, it lies in winning the audience's adulation.

"I want to earn the love of my audience. That is what I am thirsty for. I like to challenge myself and do work that I have not done. I like to surprise my audience.These are the things that I am interested in," said the versatile actor, who will be seen in a negative role in "Dhoom 3".

Aamir has just returned to Mumbai after month-long training schedule in Australia where he had gone to learn a special dance form.

"Dhoom 3",which is the third instalment of the Yash Raj Films' franchise, also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra and Katrina Kaif. It will release Dec 20.

Shaam Ibrahim's much delayed Tamil thriller “6 Candles” will hit the screens Friday, and the actor says that he did the film to satisfy the actor in him and not for anybody else. He says he evolved as an actor in the process.

“I'm eleven years old in the industry, and all these years I have done films mostly to satisfy my fans, while in the initial years, I did any film that came my way. But, I did '6 Candles' for myself because I thought it was time I did something for myself, to satisfy the actor in me,” Shaam told IANS.

“I felt I evolved as an actor through this film. We spent more than two years on it, but it was worth it. Audiences have to watch it and give us their verdict. We have worked extremely hard and I hope it pays off,” he added.

“6 Candles” revolves around the search of a father for his missing son and is directed by V.Z Dhorai. It also features Puunam Kaur, Anil Murali and Narayan.

Shaam worked extremely hard for the film. He sports two different looks for which he shed lot of weight.

“I beefed up for some part of the film, while for the other part I lost more than 15 kg. It wasn't easy to gain weight and lose it within a short period of time. I did it because I wanted to give my best to this film,” he said.

Currently, Shaam is busy shooting for Telugu action-drama "Race Gurram".

The first look of Telugu multi-starrer featuring three generations of Akkineni family is likely to be released Friday on the 90th birthday of acting legend Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR).

Nageswara Rao will be seen with his son Nagarjuna and grandson Naga Chaitanya in the film.

"I think this is the best gift we could think of. Plans are being made to release the first look poster of the film on Friday. We thought it would be a great moment for his fans to look forward to. Releasing it on this day also means good visibility," a member from the film's unit told IANS.

"Manam" is being directed by Vikram Kumar. It is touted to be the first family multi-starrer in Telugu industry.

The film, which has already completed its first schedule, is being produced by Annapurna Studios, home banner of Nagarjuna.

The Indian film industry is yet to find a place amid world cinema even as it celebrates its centenary year, rues one of the country's acting legends, Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), who turns 90 Friday.

"It is unfortunate that we haven't found a place yet in world cinema. It's a great loss to the industry that produces maximum number of films in the world. In the global film festival circuit, we are not well noted due to the quality of our products, which do not cover global markets," Nageswara Rao told IANS in an interview.

"Our penetration in the global film market is also quite low vis-a-vis Hollywood. Going forward, we need to become experimental and create content that can attract global audiences," he added.

Looking back at his 70-year-old career comprising a filmography of over 250, he said two persons deserve to be credited for his success and fame.

"My mother has been my biggest inspiration in life. She encouraged me to pursue theatre at a very young age. My biggest influence has been filmmaker Ghantasala Balaramaiah, who picked me from the Bezawada (Now Vijayawada) railway platform and signed me as a lead for his film 'Sitarama Jananam' in 1944," he said.

Even though he shifted base to Hyderabad many decades ago, he owes his career to Madras (now Chennai).

"Madras will always have a special place in my heart. Since films in southern India were made in Madras back then, it was a natural choice for anyone to move there. I spent my initial years there and also acted in a few Tamil films. I still remember walking through the city for a cup of coffee many years ago," he said.

"The love and appreciation I got from that place helped me grow and sustain in the industry," said Nageswara Rao, who has starred in Tamil films such as "Anbumagan", "Kanal Neer" and "Pen Manam".

Why didn't you do more Tamil films?

"I moved to Andhra Pradesh because as an actor I wanted longevity and I also wanted my children to learn and speak their mother tongue (Telugu). My son (Nagarjuna) is an actor because he can read, write and speak in Telugu. I also thought if I can act in Madras, I can do it in Hyderabad too," he said.

"Film has no boundaries, yet you cater to a certain market and audiences; so it is important you connect with them in a way they expect you as a native of the region. There is also a sense of comfort to work in the region you are brought up in," added the actor, whose Telugu films include titles like "Batasari", "Devadasu" and "Prem Nagar".

Having witnessed the good, bad and ugly side of filmdom, he never had qualms about letting his children be a part of the industry.

"I felt the industry gives you the opportunity to learn as well as be responsible for your actions. I thought my children could learn the same here and therefore I never stopped them from entering the industry. I feel proud today that my children have imbibed these values," he said.

While his son Nagarjuna is a successful actor, his other son and two daughters are into film production.

Was there a moment when you wanted to quit films for good?

"My journey too had ups and downs. But, since I started my career at the age of 19, I didn't have to face any competition and therefore I always enjoyed working in films. When you enjoy what you do, there is no question of quitting, isn't it?" he reasoned.

Nageswara Rao retired as a lead actor years ago, but he still feels connected to the industry.

"I'm involved in many ways in the industry. I always wanted to give back to the industry and hence set up Annapurna Studios and even a film school recently. I'm facing arc lights for my new film 'Manam' with my son and grandson (Naga Chaitanya); so I was never away from the industry," he added.

Bollywood actresses Minissha Lamba and Sonal Chauhan will walk the ramp on day one of North East Design Fest here Thursday evening to support talented people from the region.

The four-day event, organised by North East Institute of Fashion Technology (NEIFT), will comprise fashion shows, cultural program, musical shows and exhibitions of handloom, handicrafts and jute.

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is working with Anurag Kashyap in "Bombay Velvet" and who has worked with the latter's brother Abhinav Kashyap in "Besharam", says both the filmmakers differ in their working styles.

"Both of them are very different filmmakers. I am doing a light film with Abhinav in 'Besharam', while Anurag's 'Bombay Velvet' is an intense film," Ranbir told IANS.

"Besharam" will witness Ranbir in a street smart role and in "Bombay Velvet", he says he plays a boxer.

"In 'Bombay Velvet', I play an intense character. I am playing boxer. It's about the 1950s and 1960s. We have already shot for 50 per cent of 'Bombay Velvet'. We shot in Sri Lanka. It is an interesting character and an interesting film," said Ranbir, who features in the movie with Anushka Sharma and Karan Johar.

Ranbir is happy to experiment with his roles.

"I am testing myself, but if I don't try, then there is no fun. I want to break my image and shock the audience. Abhinav wanted to make a simple film. My character is very loud and I have experimented again to do some different genre.

"The audience might slap me and say do films like 'Barfi!', but if I don't try, how will I get to know," the 30-year-old said.

"Besharam", which also features Ranbir's actor parents Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, will release Oct 2.

Southern actress Richa Panai, known for films such as "Yamudiki Mogudu" and "MMS", will make her Bollywood debut in the upcoming yet untitled Hindi remake of Malayalam blockbuster "Traffic".

"Since it's my Bollywood debut, I'm extremely happy that I'm part of this remake. It's a big team and I have a nice role to play. I'm really looking forward to start working," Richa told IANS.

The remake will be helmed by Rajesh Pillai, who had directed the original. The film also features Manoj Bajpayee, Prosenjit Chaterjee, Jimmy Shergill, Parambrata Chaterjee, Divya Dutta and Nikitha Thukral.

Richa will be paired with Parambrata in the film, which will be produced by Endemol India, while Fox Star Studios will distribute it.

"Traffic" was inspired by real events. It's the story about how the heart of a donor is delivered amid traffic for a transplant.

It was recently remade in Tamil as "Chennaiyil Oru Naal", which opened to critical acclaim in cinemas.

The Hindi remake will also feature a big Bollywood star in a cameo, which was played by Suriya Sivakumar in the Tamil version.

Not since Satyajit Ray's "Pather Panchali" has an Indian film garnered as much encomium from the hard-to-please western critics as Ritesh Batra's "The Lunchbox". He is overwhelmed.

"I've just returned from (film festivals in) Telluride and Toronto. The response was overhwhelming. I knew 'The Lunchbox' would be liked. But I never knew it would be so loved. We were just trying to be honest to every moment in the script. We didn't have any hidden agendas," said Batra.

This was Batra's first time at the Telluride Film Festival and he was bowled over by its intimate atmosphere.

"Only 24 films are shown. A lot of screens are left vacant to be filled on demand later. I was very pleased when 'The Lunchbox' ended up filling up many of those vacant screens.

"There were so many screenings of my film that I didn't get a chance to watch any other film. It was screened seven times at Telluride. I just kept introducing the film over and over again. Michael Moore and Salman Rushdie tweeted about the film," he added.

The debutant feels the film has captured western fancy because it's innately Indian.

"A lot of films that people outside India have been seeing from India are not Indian enough. What really works for 'The Lunchbox' is that it's very Indian in flavour," he said.

The Toronto Film Festival was equally inviting.

"Irrfan and I were in Toronto together. We were both overwhelmed by the response to the film. The film screened in the Gala section. Around 2,000 people watched it together. Irrfan has been a great asset to the film," said Batra.

However, Batra doesn't feel the burden of being anointed the 'Next Best Thing'.

"I still work the same way I used to earlier. I haven't allowed myself to lie back and enjoy the praise. I am still writing every day," he said.

Featuring Irrfan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Nimrat Kaur, "The Lunchbox" is being promoted and released by Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar Friday.

Actor Ali Fazal admits that bagging a role in "Fast & Furious 7" is a "huge opportunity", but says he isn't going gaga over it.

"I feel lucky and happy to be part of this film. It's a cameo and I have just a small work in it, but still it's a huge opportunity for anybody. I don't want to go gaga over it. We had a great team to work with, so I had a great time," Ali told IANS.

Ali has earlier been seen in films like "3 Idiots", "Always Kabhi Kabhi" and "Fukrey".

He says he has just shot for one day for the Hollywood film so far, and the rest the of the scenes are still to be shot.

"So far I have just shot for one day and most probably I will join the crew in January for the rest of the shoot," he said.

It was a luck by chance call, says Ali.

"I wasn't prepared for it. I got a call from there and things just happened and fell into place. It's still like a dream," he said.

"Fast & Furious 7" is being directed by James Wan. The film will release in 2014.

Udaya Tara Nayar, Bollyood actor Dilip Kumar's close friend, said Thursday he is improving and urged people to desist from spreading rumours about him.

"He is better and his health is improving steadily. He is still in the ICU (intensive care unit), but he is fine," Nayar told IANS.

Dilip Kumar was admitted Sunday evening to the Lilavati Hospital after he complained of uneasiness. Doctors later diagnosed a heart attack.

Ever since the "Devdas" star has been hospitalised, some reports have pronounced him dead. Nayar requested people not to spread such rumours about the thespian, known as one of the greatest actors of Indian cinema.

"For the past few days I have been getting some negative news. Please, stop spreading these kinds of dirty rumours," said Nayar, who also shared a picture of the actor with IANS.

Nayar informed that the 90-year-old's wife and yesteryear actress Saira Banu is by his side all the time.

"Saira has been such a great human being, she is always by his side and praying for him. She does so much for him, she is such a good wife and she has a lot of self-confidence," he said.

Also knonw as Tragedy King, Dilip Kumar was active on the big screen for six decades and from playing the lead roles in films like "Jwar Bhata""Mela", "Naya Daur", "Tarana", "Ganga Jamuna", "Leader" and "Mughal-E-Azam". Later he got into character roles with elan in "Shakti", "Karma" and "Saudagar".

Post "Quila" in 1998, he decided to retire and since he has been away from the grease paint and arclight.

Legendary playback singer Manna Dey has been hospitalised here and is undergoing dialysis, a Narayana Hrudayalaya hospital spokesperson said Thursday, adding he will be kept under observation for some time.

"He was admitted last Thursday due to respiratory and kidney problems. He was put on ventilator when he arrived but has now been taken off it. He is conscious and is currently undergoing dialysis," the spokesperson told IANS Thursday.

"Even though his condition has improved, he will be kept under observation for a few more days," he added.

This is the second time in five months that Dey, 94, has had to be taken to hospital. The singer was in the same hospital for about 20 days in May and again in June.

A Dadasaheb Phalke awardee, Dey started his career as a playback singer in the early 1940s and crooned over 3,500 songs since then. Besides Hindi, he has also sung in Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam and Assamese.

Born as Prabodh Chandra Dey, he has sung across the spectrum - from romantic numbers to classical to fun songs to prove his versatility.

Dey was also honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the country's highest award in the film world, in 2007.

The music genius's all-time hits include "Sur na saje kya gaun main", "Na to karanwa ki talash hai na to humsafar ki talash hain", "Puchho na kaise maine rain bitayee", "Laga chunari main daag", "Aaja sanam madhur chandani mein hum", "Dil ka haal sune dilwala", "Ye raat bhigi bhigi, ye mast fizayen", "Jhanak jhanak tori baaje payaliya", "Tu pyar ka saagar hai", "Chunari sambhal gori udi chali jaye re" and "Ay meri Zohara".

Deepika Padukone terms "Ram Leela" a very tough film and says that director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is such a perfectionist that he doesn't settle for anything less than what he has in mind.

This is her first film with Bhansali, known for making hits like "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Devdas". He also went behind the camera for "Saawariya" and "Guzaarish", but they failed to appeal to the audiences.

Now the director-producer is coming up with "Ram Leela" with Deepika and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles.

"It has not been easy, it has been really mentally, physically, and emotionally demanding film," said the 28-year-old, who spent over a year on the project, in an interview.

"The fact that he is a perfectionist, he doesn't let go of anything. He looks at things a certain way and it has to be more or less that way.

"He has a vision and everyone works towards that. So, it obviously has been a very tough journey, as exciting and challenging as it was, it has also been quite tough. So to see all of that come together, I did get a little emotional," she added.

Set in a rustic region of Gujarat, "Ram Leela" also stars Richa Chaddha, Gulshan Devaiah and Supriya Pathak. It will hit theatres Nov 29.

Neha Khanna, celebrity makeup artist, says that it's time for Indian women to leave behind brown shade lipstic and experiment with colours like red, orange, plum and more during different seasons and occasions.

Khanna of Avon India says that most Indian women have warm skin tone, but they prefer dark lip shades.

"Indian women prefer a lot of brown shades that are really dark like cappuccino that makes skin look dull. However, soft browns look nice when paired with heavy eye makeup," Khanna told IANS.

She suggests women should change shades on the basis of day and night.

"Light shade lipsticks like neutral, beige, pinks and peach look great in daytime whereas darker shades like red and burgundy look good at night," she said.

Winter is one season when women should try bright colours.

"Lipstick shades in deep purple, plum, cinnamon or wine are winter shades and preferred by women all across. Whereas women with cool or light skin tone can carry deep pink very well," she said.

"Caramel colour lipsticks also look great on fair skin or light skin women," she added.

Khanna says that red, said to be mostly worn by confident and powerful women, is one colour that has always been in trend and is a classic one.

"Red shades are mostly preferred for formal events. A muted red shade suits Indian skin very well; a bright red doesn't compliment warm skin tones," she said.

Those who love experimenting can flaunt orange too.

"Orange is a very chic and trendy colour. It mostly symbolises a sexy and experimental personality. Burnt orange shade in lipsticks is preferred by Indian women and suits the skin tone well," she said.

Kathak maestro Birju Maharaj will give dance lessons online through DancewithMadhuri.com. He believes the academy is an "excellent initiative".

Owned by actress Madhuri Dixit, DancewithMadhuri.com was launched earlier this year. She has now requested her guru to use the medium to teach the dance form to larger audience.

"I think it's excellent initiative by Madhuri to teach various forms of dance on an online academy. I believe it will help a lot of people to learn and understand dance better," Birju Maharaj said in a statement.

For starters, Birju Maharaj will teach some footwork and abhinaya (expressions).

He recently choreographed Madhuri’s dance in her forthcoming film "Dedh Ishqiya".

Madhuri's online academy familiarises her fans with different dance forms like salsa, contemporary and jazz. A latest addition to the academy is Dancercise - a combination of dance and workout that helps you stay fit while dancing.

Age doesn't seem to have slowed down National Award-winning filmmaker Singeetham Srinivasa Rao. The octogenarian recently completed a Telugu film titled "Welcome Obama" and now wants to do a sequel to 1991 Telugu blockbuster "Aditya 369".

"Welcome Obama", reportedly based on surrogacy, is releasing Friday.

"The sequel to 'Aditya 369' is on. It's in the process. There will be a time machine concept in the sequel too, but I'm working on a different screenplay. But, it will only go on floors after Balayya (Balakrishna) is relieved of his commitments. We are expected to meet soon, sit and discuss the project," Singeetham told IANS.

"Aditya 369", which featured Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead, was a film about time travel, made much ahead of its time. The film was very well received by audiences.

"I will also work on another film soon. It's too early to comment on it, but it will be an interesting project too," he added.

While several filmmakers spend months on a project, Singeetham completed "Welcome Obama" in 33 days.

"It was a challenge. I don't like to waste too much time sitting on a film unless necessary. I completed the film in 33 days because we shot consistently and punctually for the entire shooting period," he said.

"I saved a lot of time because I used to arrive on the sets around 6.30 a.m. every day. I would ensure everything was in place before we started shooting. This also in a way helped us in saving a lot of time," he added.

For his next film, he is attempting a rare feat. He says the film will be pre-recorded, acting as a base for shooting.

"I intend to record music, sound, and dialogues for the film even before it goes on floors. The pre-recorded content will then be loaded on to a single-track disc, which will act as a base while shooting. We don't have to shoot anything on the spot hence it minimizes time and effort," he added.

Talking about "Welcome Obama", Singeetham said: "It's a film that will focus on human relationship. What brings two individuals to come together and the importance of trust in every relationship? I have addressed all this through my film, while touching upon a very important issue."

Known for highly success films such as "Pushpak", "Michael Madana Kama Rajan" and "Apoorva Sagodharargal", Singeetham even penned the lyrics and composed music for "Welcome Obama".

"I like to multi-task. I have worked with several legends over the years, and most of them used to write dialogues, songs and even compose music for their films. Since I come from the same school, I'm always try to multi-task," he said.

Singeetham has composed music for several films in Kannada, while he has written songs for his Telugu directorial "Bhairava Dweepam".

If she looked gorgeous as a south Indian girl in "Chennai Express", Deepika Padukone stuns with her latest Gujarati girl avatar in "Ram Leela". The actress thanks designer Anju Modi because her costumes helped her get into the character in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's latest directorial venture.

"Anju has done a fabulous job considering this is her first feature film...I felt in the character the minute I wore the clothes. I felt like Leela," said the actress here in an interview.

"I think that is the most important aspect when a designer comes on board. It's so important to allow the actor to feel like the character," added the actress who also appreciated Modi's understanding of colours and cuts.

Set in the backdrop of Gujarat, the film is said to be an adaptation of Shakespeare's epic love story "Romeo and Juliet", which will see Deepika romancing Ranveer Singh when the film comes out Nov 29.

Actress Payal Rohatgi, who will be seen as a comic villain in episodic series of crime-based show "Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath", reveals that American singer Lady Gaga inspires her look in the show.

"Recently, I have shot for the show 'Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath'. It has an episodic series on comic villain and I have played the character Gong in that," Payal said in an interview.

"It is very much inspired by Lady Gaga and totally different," she added.

"Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath" airs on Life OK and the episode will be aired this weekend.

Seen in films like "36 China Town" and "Dhol", Payal also featured in the second season of the reality show "Bigg Boss" as well as "Survivor India" and "Welcome - Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki".

Mukesh Bhatt, producer and president of the Film & Television Producers Guild of India, rues how digital piracy is killing filmmakers.

"Digital piracy is the biggest menace, which we film producers face," Bhatt told reporters here Wednesday.

"As we know that youngsters are more net savvy than anybody else and they watch more movies (online), the amount of revenue lost by a filmmaker is huge and it is killing us," he added.

He spoke at a conference on creating a vibrant digital economy for screen content, which was organised by the Film and Television Producers Guild of India and Motion Pictures Association (MPA), India.

An anti-piracy mobile application was also launched at the event.

"I feel the initiative by MPA with the Producers Guild of India, is the need of the hour because we are going towards digitisation. If digitisation means more rampant piracy, we need to curb that before we are wiped out," Bhatt added.

He said his film "Aashiqui 2" suffered huge revenue loss. Bhatt co-produced it with T-Series.

"For 'Aashiqui 2', which I produced...more than 40 percent of my revenue was lost to internet piracy," said Bhatt.

"When I go to work, I feel I am not working for myself, I am working for a pirate and that breaks my heart," he added.

Bhatt feels filmmakers shouldn't depend upon government body to curb piracy.

"We need to do it ourselves because of the simple apathy and the lack of interest being shown by the government towards piracy and it is sad. So, we have nobody but ourselves to wake up and try to save our ourselves," said Bhatt.
