Bollywood Movie 'Don 2' to be shot in Germany Posted: 24 Aug 2010 11:38 PM PDT In a development which has elated Berlin tourism officials, a film starring Bollywood hero Shah Rukh Khan is to be shot on location in the German capital this autumn, officials said Tuesday. "This could be the breakthrough needed for making the Berlin destination known to the Indian market," Berlin tourism director Burkard Kieker said. "It's exactly what we want." "Don 2" - a sequel to the blockbuster "Don" - is being supported by the Berlin-Brandenburg film promotion company Medienboard to the tune of 550,000 euros ($705,000). Farhan Akhtar will direct the film, with the shoot scheduled to last 50 days and taking place in many landmark Berlin sites. Khan stirred up a bit of Bollywood fever in Berlin last winter when his film "My Name Is Khan" was featured at the Berlinale film festival. "The Indian superstar and the film location Berlin will make for a great couple before the largest audience in the world," said Medienboard managing director Kirsten Niehuus. "Don 2" will appear in cinemas in the course of 2011.

Peepli Live To Release In Britain On Sept 24 Posted: 24 Aug 2010 11:35 PM PDT Aamir Khan's much talked about and highly successful production venture "Peepli Live" will be released in Britain Sep 24. And the actor-filmmaker plans to tour the country extensively to promote the satirical comedy that is breaking new ground. Aamir has also made a request to all his fans in Britain to watch the film only when it officially releases there and not on pirated DVDs or by downloading it from the internet, said a press statement. He feels that the movie buffs can truly enjoy the \"Peepli Live\" experience in theatres only. Made on a budget of approximately Rs.100 million (including marketing costs), the movie left the audiences bursting out in guffaws and recovered its investment even before its release - through satellite and music rights for Rs.100 million and Rs.40 million respectively. A political satire about farmer\'s suicides in India by journalist-turned-director Anusha Rizvi, \"Peepli Live\" has done astounding business in India - in its opening week, it earned about Rs. 24 crore. With 109 overseas prints, it grossed another $ 640,000 (Rs.2.88 crore) abroad. \"Peepli Live\" received one of the highest openings for a non-cast film in overseas markets. In the US, the film released on 64 prints and has grossed $364,000 in the opening weekend. In the Middle East, the film released during Ramadaan and opened at $175,000 on 18 prints. South Africa, Pakistan, Singapore, Benelux and Kenya contributed to about $59,000 in the opening weekend. It starred lesser known tribals from Bhadwai village in Madhya Pradesh and members of late playwright Habib Tanvir\'s theatre troupe Naya Theatre. While the lead role of Natha was played by Omkar Das Manikpuri, other actors in the movie are Malaika Shenoy, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Shalini Vatsa, Farrukh Jaffer, Vishal O. Sharma, Aamir Bashir, Sitaram Panchal and Yugal Kishore. The only known actors in the black comedy have been Naseeruddin Shah and Raguveer Yadav.

Kareena Kapoor Is Like Tendulkar: Arjun Rampal Posted: 24 Aug 2010 11:30 PM PDT Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal, who termed his co-star Kareena Kapoor as "Bollywood's Sachin Tendulkar", Tuesday clarified he meant that she was in "great form" as the cricketer. "I said Kareena is in great form like Sachin Tendulkar. Kareena is strong enough to have an identity of her own and I would never compare her like that," Arjun told reporters here at a press conference of her film "We Are Family". "What I said and what has been quoted is very different. I meant she is in great form but the story has been churned very differently," he added. The 37-year-old who is married to former model Mehr Jesia and has two daughters, plays his real life on reel as a father but claims himself to be the spoiling parent out of the two. "I'm the good cop, they (children) call me the good cop and my wife is the bad cop... she corrects them all the time. I can never say no to them. If they say chocolates I say yes, if they say sports I say yes. So whatever they say I say yes. So in short you can say I kind of spoil them," said Arjun. Releasing Sep 3, the film stars Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal and is said to be the Indian version of Hollywood hit "Stepmom".

Hot Katrina Kaif asserts she is single Posted: 24 Aug 2010 11:24 PM PDT Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, who had always refrained from speaking about her relationship with actor Salman Khan, has finally confirmed that she was single. "I am single. But beyond that I don't think I need to give too much of details," Katrina told reporters Tuesday at the Trident hotel, where she was named as the international brand ambassador of Etihad Airways. Etihad Airways is the national airlines of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The actress who garnered rave reviews for her role in director Prakash Jha's political drama "Raajneeti" said that sometime it becomes very difficult to take a personal decision and more so if it has to be taken publicly. "Sometimes it's hard enough to take decisions, professional sometimes but mostly personal and wherever the decision that you have to take, it's very difficult to take them and if you have to make them in front of everybody, whether it's media, or the public or the world, I think that's a little bit more than what I can handle. That's why for six years, I have never commented who I am with, if I had a break up, if there is an argument," Katrina said. The actress said she thinks commitment changes with situation. "If you commit to something, you must stand by. But if you commit to something and the situation changes, then perhaps the commitment also changes," she said.

Bollywood actresses Kajol Doubtful In Working With First Time Directors Posted: 24 Aug 2010 10:35 PM PDT One of Bollywood's finest actresses, Kajol says she was not keen to do "We Are Family" because it had a first-time director. She also believes being a mother in real life made a difference to her body language in the film where she is shown to have three children. "Definitely. I think you always have doubts while working with first-time directors and it's very sensible to do that," Kajol, 35, told IANS in an interview about her latest film helmed by Siddharth Malhotra. "I don't think you should have complete confidence in first-ime directors, you have to depend on yourself as well," said Kajol who had many years ago teamed up with Aditya Chopra in his directorial debut "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" that went on to be a huge hit. Now that "We Are Family" is ready for release, she is quite positive about the film, a Hindi adaptation of Hollywood comedy-drama "Stepmom". Releasing Sep 3, the film also stars Arjun Rampal and Kareena Kapoor. "Lots of films can't be remade. If there is a magic in a film, that cannot be rejuvenated. But there are some films that can. I think 'Stepmom' is one of those. We couldn't have done this in English. If we have tried to do it in English, it would have flopped miserably," Kajol said. "Since we are doing it in a different language, we had to change the script and make it more Indian. I personally think it's a different film from what 'Stepmom' originally is. When you watch the film, the premise of the film remains the same, but there is so much else there that I hope you come up with the feeling that it's a different film altogether." Though it was her best pal, director-producer Karan Johar's production, Kajol really didn't want to do a film soon after "My Name Is Khan". "I was not interested in doing a film at that point of time. I didn't want to sign anything. I was really tired doing 'My Name...'. I didn't want to hear the script. I wanted to chill and take a break for at least three months. When they insisted, I heard the script and I really liked it," said Kajol. "We Are Family" is different from what Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon played in "Stepmom", she says. "I had seen 'Stepmom' very, very long back. I didn't watch it before doing the film because I didn't want it to influence me and I really think Maya is a very, very different character from what Susan Sarandon played," said Kajol. Kajol has a daughter in real life and is expecting her second child. She feels being a mother in real life makes a huge difference as far as the body language is concerned. "When you become a mother and you are raising your daughter, there is something about a mother's voice that you get. God gives it to you. Most children respond to it and I think it comes instinctively. "I think even in the film where your body language is concerned, I feel it makes a difference. I won't say you take it from normal life, it's just an instinctive part of taking care of a child or being very hands on over there," she said. She played mother to a boy in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "My Name is Khan". "Handling three children was more difficult - no two ways about it. That kid in 'My Name...' was very good and he was much older actually. Here, Diya (Sonecha) was five, Nomi (Nominath Ginsberg) was seven and Aachal (Munjal) was 12; so this was a complete range of children. But they were very sweet and enthusiastic," said Kajol. Asked if her work distracted her from enjoying her pregnancy, she said: "I don't think that anything can distract you from being pregnant. You know that you are pregnant and 24x7 nothing can take that fact away from you and nothing can distract you from it. "But, yes, it's nice working. It's good to know that I can still work. I was very, very nervous the first time around, but this time I am very comfortable and I know what to expect. So it's much easier to handle it," said Kajol. She rules out any possibility of being a director ever. "Not really, I am a reader. I like to read more than anything. My definition of a producer and director is they are the ones who get paid to have an ulcer in the stomach," said Kajol.
