Kalki Koechlin to do action in “Emotional Atyachar”

Posted: 21 Aug 2010 11:28 AM PDT

Klaki Koechlin is all set to do an action movie under the name of "Emotional Atyachar". She proved her mettle as an actress in her first movie Dev D which recieived a major critical acclaim as well as was a box office hit, which is now a days is a rare site. She would hit the screen after a long gap of 2 year, so there is a tremendous amount of expectation from her.

In Emotional Atyachar the audiences would see her doing some death defying stunts .

“‘Emotional Atyachar’ has a dark comedy tone to it and it is exciting because there is a lot of action there. In fact during one of the action sequences, I remember hanging in air for what seemed like ages to me”, said Kalki.

The movie is directed by debutant director Akshaye Shere. The cast is quite impressive and boasts of actors like Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Mohit Alawat and Ravi Kissen.

Though, the title of the movie refers to the most popular number from Dev D, to which Kalki says,”It is not an extension of Dev D. Instead, it is a road thriller with black humour in it. The story is set on a deserted highway between Mumbai and Goa and revolves around incidents that take place in one night to four sets of travellers,”.

Kalki's projects are quite impressive with her upcoming movie with Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol.

“Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a happy movie with quite some action in it. Zoya Akhtar comes with a unique sensibility of her own and this is what excited me most about the film,” said the actress.

She is quite bold to talk about her relationships too and confirms Anurag Kashyap as her current boyfriend.

“The fact is that our personalities are very similar and this is the reason why we get along so very well. We both carry the sensibility of wanting to be passionate about our work. Anything that we do for screen has to come for a good reason. It just can’t be only for fun,” said Kalki.

About her debute film being a huge success she says that it was a tough task.

“Let me be honest in stating that there was never a downpour of compliments coming my way to begin with. Dev D wasn’t an overnight hit”, said the actress.

ANJAANA ANJAANI, another musical hit???

Anjaana Anjaani

Anjaana Anjaani

After reining the chartbuster with hits like Khuda Jaaney and Ahista Ahista, the rocking trio of Vishal-Shekhar, Siddhart Anand and Ranbir Kapoor, is back with their latest flick Anjaana Anjaani.

Though the title song is already a huge hit amongst the listeners, but still the rest of the songs are yet to pick up speed as there is a tremendous amount of expectation from the team.

Everybody is just keeping the fingers crossed, if the team would yet again come up with another major blockbuster hit like Khuda Jaaney. To top it all, Ranbir has always boasted of having melodious numbers in his short career. So there is a huge amount of expectations from the audiences.

“I don’t think that any of us had Khuda Jaane in our mind at all,” Siddharth negates the theory here, “An album has to have its own calling and this time around, the ace up our sleeves is the title track of ANJAANA ANJAANI which is romantic melody. I am sure even Ranbir and Priyanka would agree that the song is definitely on par with the class and quality that Khuda Jaane carried. Both my lead actors love that song as it is in the romantic space that audience that would love to see them in. To add to that, we already have another title track of ANJAANA ANJAANI playing as well this is a dance number.”
The tem is trying to evade all sorts of comparisons from their previous work but guess that is something hard to evade.

Though, the producer of the film Sajid Nadiadwala is quite happy that he has got two versions to play around to promote his movie.

“Normally you look forward to one hit title track,” he says, “On the contrary in my film, the team has given me two altogether versions – one a dance number and another, which is a soulful melody – to play around. I couldn’t have asked for more. We didn’t want to have one original song and it’s remix qualifying as a dance number. We wanted something out of the box for ANJAANA ANJAANI and fortunately, Vishal, Shekhar and Siddharth have given me just that.”

Krrish 2 : Hrithik In Triple roles?

Posted: 21 Aug 2010 10:49 AM PDT

Krrish 2

Krrish 2

Krrish2 the 3rd part in the alien-fantasy affair that had begun with 'Koi Mil Gaya'  is gearing up for production. And the rumour mills are all set ablaze with the piece of news that this time Hrithik Roshan will be playing the role of the bad guy as well.

The last of the super-hero Krrish was seen in 2008  with Hrithik playing the dual role of the father-son and Priyanka Chopra was the leading lady and now its sequel Krrish2 will follow soon.

The unnamed source revealed little about the new bad guy of Krrish2- "Both may be clones of each other. This would give the film a very interesting dimension and will take it to the next level."

He also said-"Frankly, Krrish2 is in the early stages now. Moreover, Rakesh is currently holidaying in Europe. He will meet Hrithik there, who has just finished shooting for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The script of Krrish2 will get locked only next month after Rakesh returns to India. The final call on the negative role will be taken only then."
There was an earlier buzz doing the rounds that the great SRK would be playing the role of bad guy in Krrish2. Given his brilliance in movies like Darr, Baazigar & quite recently Don, Shah Rukh Khan has already proved his mettle as the villain many times.

But it seems that Rakesh Roshan is doing all he can to bring back his son Hrithik into the top star's list after the disastrous affair named 'Kites'. So inspite of giving him the bad guy role Rakesh has declared that "Krrish 2 requires a villain who has the heart of a child." as said the source. So you can't really hate the villainous Hrithik either!

Robin Bhatt the one who has penned the series is however reluctant to comment on all these news flaring around. "How can Hrithik play three roles in the same film? We are carrying forward the father-son legacy of Krrish into Krrish 2. The negative role will be essayed by a very big star." Robin questioned. Rakesh Roshan is yet to make any comments about this outright denial by Robin.

Well, only November will tell who gets to play what role in Krrish2. So all those fans of the brown-eyed boy of Bollywood, keep your fingers crossed that you may get to see more of Hrithik Roshan's bad side after his short stint as villain in Dhoom3.

Like every year, sisters get dressed in new clothes and arrange a special 'rakhi thali' or a plate containing the items ogf worship, sweets and a specially decorated rakhi for their brother. The sister ties the rakhi to her brother's wrist and then feeds him sweets.

The brother too is expected to feed her sweets and in return give her some small token of affection in the form of gifts. The beauty of this festival is that it doesn't bind a girl to tie rakhi just to her brother by blood. She can tie rakhi to any male for whom she has sisterly affections.

Endhiran has a secret connection with Ra.One

Posted: 21 Aug 2010 05:53 AM PDT

Endhiran RA OneWell anything can happen in the Indian film industry Bollywood and the latest to add to this non challenging belief is the small connection between two big movies Ra.One which is a Shahrukh Khan film and the another one is the Robot which is a film starring Aishwarya and Rajinikanth together for the first time.

According to the sources in the beginning the title Robot was owned by Red Chillies which is a Shahrukh khan owned venture and he was chosen to be the part of this film which was been directed by Shanker.

For both the Bollywood biggies, this was a dream project and therefore they were working together extensively to turn it into a beautiful reality on the screen but then due to difference in approach they had to choose different ways and therefore separated. After this initial tiff, the director went ahead with the famous actor from the south Rajnikanth and the king khan started working on his own venture calling it Ra.one.

When Shahrukh Khan moved forward with his project then at that time the director Shankar felt the need to use the same title for which he wrote to Shahrukh Khan and the king khan in all his generosity, agreed for it.

Only Lafangey No Parindey on the 1st day

Posted: 21 Aug 2010 03:15 AM PDT

Lafangey Parindey

Lafangey Parindey

Bollywood youth icons Deepika Padukone and Neil Nitin Mukesh failed to bring the audience to theatres with their first act together 'Lafangey Parindey'.  Though there are big names attached to the film as it is produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner Yashraj Films and is directed by Pradeep Sarkar, the box office report on the opening day was much below expectation since most of the multiplexes screening the film bore a deserted look throughout the day with some improvement towards the evening. Not even the target audience of the film, the mass, was impressed which is evident from the fact that the single screen theatres were also sparsely crowded.

Industry pundits opine that in the past films like RGV's Rangeela which were set in the same backdrop as this i.e middle class chawl, could impress the masses, but Pradeep Sarkar has failed in his venture.

There are various theories that are being attached to the first day failure of the film. One school of thought say that this is a month of Shravan and Ramzan, so people prefer to attend their religious duties rather than opting for other forms of entertainment. Other school presents a complete departure from the first one by saying that it's not the religion but the absolute lack of substance and overflow of style which kept the film aloof from success on the first day.

They say Neil Nitin Mukesh is way to stylish for the masses to identify him as one of them and Deepika Padukone also failed to do her job elegantly in the film. The third school says the scintillating and captivating music which is USP of Yashraj films is also missing which served a major deterrent in the road of success.

With the first day proving to be a flop show for 'Lafangey Parindey', the makers of the film are banking on the weekend to recover their money and experts in the industry feel that if audience presence in theatres increase during the weekend there are chances that film could be declared a hit.

When the noted filmmaker was congratulated and questioned on his film, he replied that his effort was to spread the right word among the masses so that the nation is benefited and for this the most appropriate medium was the voices and expressions of the role models of these taxpayers themselves.
