Sameera goes De Dana Dan with Akki-Katrina

The super-prolific Priyadarshan's next comedy De Dana Dan, a kind of followup though not a sequel to Hera Pheri for producer Ratan Jain (of Venus), just got bigger…and delayed. The film now features Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Suniel Shetty and, surprisingly Sameera Reddy. Says the sultry actress, "I've never worked with Priyan before. But I think he liked my comic timing in Race where I played Anil Kapoor's airheaded assistant. That's how I am in De Dana Dan. I've always been a big Priyan fan, by the way." However Sameera's enthusiasm will have to wait. Priyan's next has now been shifted from November 2008 to January 2009, partly because Priyan is busy with the Darsheel Safary project Bam Bam Bhole. Sighs the super-successful director, "Bam Bam Bhole is not a small arthouse film. It's a full-on entertainer. And it needs nurturing. Once I release Billo Barbar I need to promote Bam Bam Bhole properly. De Dana Dan with Akshay, Katrina, Sameera Reddy, Suniel Shetty and Neha Dhupia has gone forward by a few months." This was meant to be the Southern sensation Asin's launch pad. "Yes, " concedes Priyan. "But only initially. Once the script crystallized it was Katrina all the way."

Acid test for Ajay, Kareena, Priyanka

All eyes are on the two films slated for release this Diwali -- GOLMAAL RETURNS and FASHION. And those associated with the two films would be hoping that the festival of lights spreads light in their lives.

GOLMAAL RETURNS is crucial for Ajay Devgan. The talented actor has had a spate of flops [CASH, RAMGOPAL VARMA KI AAG, HALLA BOL, MEHBOOBA; SUNDAY was ordinary in some circuits, while U ME AUR HUM did well at big city plexes] and GOLMAAL RETURNS could prove to be the turning point in his career.

Kareena Kapoor too is hoping to cement her status with GOLMAAL RETURNS. Her sole release this year [TASHAN] sank at the box-office and though she's riding high on popularity charts, she needs a solid Hit to stay put on the throne. Her rival and contender to the throne, Katrina Kaif, has already had a great innings.

The worst affected is Priyanka Chopra. The industry labels anyone a jinxed actor/actress if you have a spate of flops to your credit. And Priyanka has had flops, flops and more flops than any actress this year. In 2006 it was AAP KI KHATIR, in 2007 SALAAM-E-ISHQ and BIG BROTHER and in 2008, as many as four flops in a row -- LOVE STORY 2050, GOD TUSSI GREAT HO, CHAMKU and DRONA. Will FASHION change her fortunes? Or will Kangana Ranaut walk away with accolades? We will know on October 29. Till then Ms. Chopra can chew her nails in anxiety!

Ajay, Arshad, Tusshar and Shreyas turn cross-dressers in Golmaal Returns

Govinda started it; Aamir Khan and Riteish Deshmukh followed it and now its latest 'followers' are Shreyas, Tusshar, Ajay and Arshad! Before you start 'cult'ivating any sorts of ideas, let us clarify that we are indeed not talking of any cult, but the trend of 'cross dressing'.

The four leading actors of the Golmaal Returns will now bee seen cross dressing as women folks! The reason? Well, there's a scene in the film that required these guys to dress up like women only in order to gain an entry in an 'only women' mall, since the eve was Women's Day! Recalling this scene, Rohit Shetty said, "I was quite taken aback when Ajay Devgan agreed to this scene in particular. He was very gung-ho to go ahead with the scene!! In fact, none of the guys had any reservations, which made it one of the best scenes in the film."

As such, Golmaal Returns is carrying positive pre-release reports. If that was not enough, director Rohit Shetty is 'releasing' his trump cards one after the other, which only makes us further more curious to see the film. Way to go, RohitFor Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt are 'Mareez-E-Mohabbat'

More over 'Dard-E-Disco', it's going to be time for some 'Mareez-E-Mohabbat' in around a couple of months from now. And while Shah Rukh Khan had shown his six-pack abs in the Om Shanti Om song, Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt have decided to take a 'shortcut' by being fully covered in the number 'Mareez-E-Mohabbat' which would be on air soon. The song has been picturised for Anil Kapoor's home production Shortcut - The Con Is On and features the 'jhakaas' actor with 'munnabhai' Sanju baba.

Confirms a source attached to the film which should find a way in theaters early 2009, ''Shortcut - The Con Is On has Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao as the three leads. However, Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor would be seen in a guest appearance. The number is called 'Mareez-E-Mohabbat' and who else but Javed (Akhtar) saab could have come up with such lyrics?''

The number features Amrita Rao as well and has been choreographed by Bosco and Ceaser.

''Shooting for the song is through and it has turned out quite well. Sanju baba and Anil Kapoor had a blast dancing to this number, courtesy a catchy tune by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy who have composed for the film. They have done a great job in creating an earthy tune'', says a crew member.

Incidentally, Anil Kapoor's last outing as a producer was Gandhi My Father which had received immense critical acclaim in 2007. However, Shortcut is a full on commercial venture and features three more songs in addition to 'Mareez-E-Mohabbat'. While the title track 'Shortcut' is quite peppy, 'Koi Ye Na Jaane' is a fun romantic number while 'Kal Nau Baje' is a poetic love song.

''Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy have come together with Javed saab to make a good album with lot of variety'', adds the source.

Shortcut - The Con Is On is directed by Neeraj Vora and also stars Simi Garewal along with Chunkey Pandey. Anees Bazmee, who has given three back to back hits in the form of Singh Is Kinng, Welcome and No Entry, has written the screenplay of the film

I would give Himesh a 10 on 10 for acting: Satish Kaushik

Satishji, for starters, with Karzzzz being just released, are you nervous or super excited? I am very much excited because Karzzzz is one film that reminds me of my young days, when I used to be a 'dreamer'. Those were the days when I was just dreaming of turning into a filmmaker. In other words, I would like to say that Karzzzz is my tribute to 'that' era of films. For me, this film is more like representing the eighties era and bringing it to the era of the 2000's! What made you choose on the remake of the original Karz? The concept of remake was something that had already been decided by Bhushan Kumar and Himesh. I was contacted later. When they told me the story, I became too excited. I was also very much aware of the fact that it is going to be a 'big' film, for the very reason that it was coming from the stable of Bhushan Kumar and T-Series! Also that, Himesh hummed some tunes to me from the film, which got me further more excited. With all of this going, how could I say no to the remake of the original Karz! What's your opinion about Himesh's acting skills? Have you seen him in his debut film Aap Kaa Surroor? Of course, I have seen Aap Kaa Surroor and I simply loved him in the film. I have also seen him perform on stage and one needs to give it to him for such a massive fan following! The kind of music that he had given in Aap Kaa Surroor was simply phenomenal. After I saw the film, I was totally floored by his screen presence. He has got very dreamy and lost eyes complemented with a very sweet smile. Overall, he is a very wonderful person. As far as his acting skills are concerned, I would give him a 10 on 10. For Himesh is one person, who is passionate about whatever he does. Since I have dealt in theatre before, I was tad sure that I will be able to extract nothing but the best out of this man! Now that Karzzzz is complete, I can very confidently say that the whole 'confusion' about Himesh being an actor or a non-actor will be laid to rest! His performance in Karzzzz is totally FANTASTIC! In one of his recent interviews, Himesh admitted that Ranbir Kapoor would have been a better choice for Monty's role and also that he would have ensured the film's Box Office success? Do you agree with him? I always believe that any actor can do any role. Having said that, I would also like to add that the Himesh's 'version' of Monty would shock the audience for sure. The general mentality is that when you expect certain things out of a certain actor, and when that actor delivers something that was not expected of him, it is translated into a certain amount of shock value. Himesh, in the role of Monty is one such shock value experience. As far as his statement about Ranbir is concerned, all I can say is that it's indeed very sweet on behalf of Himesh to have said that. But, as far as I am concerned, I will still stick on to Himesh as my choice for the role of Monty. It's a universal fact that Himesh is a very religious and superstitious man. Were there any clashes of interest due to that in that terrain? Not at all. Himesh and I were always on the same wavelength. And I have known him for quite a long time. By now, we know each other's working pattern. How was the overall 'Himesh Reshammiya' experience? Hailing from a theatre background, the 'actor' in me was taught (during my struggling days) that, for an actor, 'listening power' should be more important than the 'verbal power'. According to me, a good actor is someone who listens more than he speaks. And I found this quality in Himesh. He was totally open to my way of direction. He is someone whom I would call as a 'Directors actor'. Also it's a sheer delight to even listen to him. He knows all the ups, lows, pauses, modulations and the stresses of every sentence. The overall 'Himesh Reshammiya' was simply fabulous! What made you cast Urmila opposite him? Urmila was always my first choice. She has time and again proved herself as a path-breaking actress in every film. I know her since her Masoom days, wherein she played the lead. I just couldn't think of anyone besides Urmila for the role of 'Kamini'. And trust me; Urmila as 'Kamini' is simply outstanding in the film. Satishji, having introduced actors like Tabu, Tusshar Kapoor, Bhumika Chawla, and now Shweta Kumar. What do you have to say about Shweta? Do you feel that she has the potential to make it big? I take it as my responsibility when any newcomer comes to me. And I feel really nice connecting with them. I always treat my seasoned actors on a huge platform. And as far as the newcomers are concerned, I have the added advantage of training and moulding them in the best of their capacity and not by thrusting myself and my style on them! As far as Shweta is concerned, I think that she has a huge potential to make it big as an actress. She is very cool, casual and tad comfortable in front of the camera. Apparently, Simi Garewal, who played 'Kamini' in the original Karz, had commented that Sushmita Sen, not Urmila, was more suited for the remake. What's your comment on the same? As I always said, any actor can play any role. If she (Simi) had said so, I respect her statement. But I will still stick on to Urmila as she is someone who matches the persona of Himesh to the 'T'! Has the 'original' Monty, Rishi Kapoor, seen Karzzzz? What were his comments on the same? I still have to show it to him. But he is a very dear friend and moreover a fantastic person. When we started the film, it was really sweet and endearing on the part of Subhashji and Rishiji to wish us good luck. Rishiji also attested the music of Himesh in Karzzzz and also told him that he deserved a pat on his back for making such a wonderful score.

Timmy keeps asking me to marry him: Eesha Kopikar

In spite of playing a plain Jane in couple of her films glamour girl Eesha still holds a place for herself in the list of glamorous heroines. But very soon she will be getting rid of this tag coz recently she has accepted the role of Chandni in Rajshri films Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi.This role will help her get rid of her glamorous image. Q-The title of the film is Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi, What does that mean? A-The story of this film Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi is about such a marriage which is very different from the regular customs of marriage, very sacred. As its easy to get into relationships but very difficult to maintain them in the long run, but when two people without getting married are so committed to each other that they try their best to maintain the pureness of the relationship that in true sense is a sacred relationship. Q- How would you define your character in this film? A-The character of Chandni is very similar to me in real life. Just like me she comes from a family who value their customs and systems a lot. Just like me she believes in love. Along with this just like me she also believes in the fact that before getting into a relationship with anyone we need to think twice. One should never think of breaking a relationship just to get into another one. Just like me Chandni is very attached to her dad. The only difference we have is that Chandni comes from a small town where as I'm a city girl a simple heart but with the nature of a tom boy.Chandni is shown as a very soft spoken girl not as loud as I am. Q-How did you prepare yourself for this role? A-I dint have to do much as the director of the film Kaushik Dada kept reminding me that Chandni has a style which is different than Esha's. Q-It's a dream of every girl to work with Rajshri Productions, how did you feel when you got a call from their end? A-I felt great when my manager told me that they had called me. I heard the story last year on my birthday 19th Sept, So I felt that this film s a gift from God on my birthday. Its like a dream come true to work with such a great banner. Q-You have never actually played such a character before, was there any kind of fear while accepting this role? A-Have you ever seen me act in similar kind of roles ever? I myself make it a point to try out different roles every time and the two prime reasons for it are, first that I easily get bored of the same stuff again and again and second that I know for sure that im a very talented actress and I can do a lot better., its only that not many directors have got to utilize my talent properly. Q-What do you think about your co star Sonu Sood? A-He is a very well grounded person. Just like the actor of the film he also comes from a small village named Moga.he is as hardworking as I am. Eight years ago we worked together in a south film named Nijin Ille at that time we had never thought that we would be working together again in Rajshri films Q-How was the whole experience of working in this film? A-I've never had such a great experience in my entire career till date. Not once did I feel the need to complaint about anything. All through the shoot I always felt that Raj babu is like myg randfather, Sooraj Barjatya like my father and Kaushik dada like my elder brother must be the first film of my life where I just dint want the shooting to end. One hundred and twenty days for the shoot just flew away. I still remember the last day of our film which was 6th of June. I had cried a lot that day and surprisingly it was raining heavily that day, which made me feel that as if the rains were crying with me. Q-Do you regret the fact that Sooraj Barjatya isn ot directing this film? A-Before the narration I had some doubts about the same but after the narration when I saw my directors vision I was convinced that the film would be superb. The time when Kaushikwas narrating the film I could actually picturise every seen in front of my eyes and tears were rolling down them. Q-A twelve year long wait for your beloved is what is shown in this film, do you think this funda works these days? A- I in my personal life waited for ten years to keep my relationship going, but I guess destiny had something else in store for me. If the love and the feelings are true and genuine then why only twelve years you could spend your whole life waiting for that person. Q-What are your views about marriage? A-I strongly believe in the institution of marriage. Its a beautiful feeling, here two different people with different thought process, different outlook and different cultures meet and bind into one relationship. Q- When do you plan to get married? A-Its just been six months since I've met Timmy, but he too keeps asking me the same question always. But honestly speaking after a real long time my career graph has shown a rise so I would want to concentrate on that first. I will definitely get married as I don't want to continue working for my whole life. Like every girl I too dream of getting married and having kids. Q-Your seen in films like Ek Vivah Aisa bhi and Shabri and at the same time in films like Haseena, Hello Darling and Rite Ya Wrong what is the kind of image you actually want to have? A-First of all you cannot compare Haseena with Hello Darling and Rite Ya wrong, Haseena is the biggest mistake of my life and I do not want to discuss about that film at all. Hello darling is a comedy flick while Rite ya Wrong is a suspense thriller. As far as my image is concerned ive already said that I want to be versatile. Q- Most of the time s you are seen in multistarrerfilms, why haven't you tried doing solo films? A-Coz no one casted me in a solo film. I haven't intentionally signed mutistarrer films it just happened coincidently. As it is I do not have a filmy background nor am I seeing any of the top directors, whatever I have achieved till date is all by my own hard work. Q-So do you feel any kind of pressure? A-I love to give pressure than to feel it. Q—Are you happy with your career graph? A-Its all in the mind, some people are not happy in spite of winning an Oscar while some are happy without it. What makes you feel that im unhappy, im very happy? Q- Tell us about your new release? My forthcoming films are Shabri, hello Darling, Rite ya Wrong, Har Pal and Gehra

Salman has a better body than Sunny Deol: Sohail Khan

Sohail Khan has been entertaining the viewers with each and every film of his. Once again he is back with his new style of entertainment in Sameer Karniks film Heroes. Lets ask him other than acting what else he has in store in the direction and production front. Q- After Hello, Heroes is arriving so are you nervous or excited? A- Actually I am very restless as I was waiting for the release of this film. The plus point of this film is that every character of this film is justified in their respective roles. I personally feel its one the biggest film in my career. Q- Tell a little about your character in Heroes? A-My name is Sameer in this film but everyone calls me a bull coz I'm thick headed, like I go around doing a lot of foolish stuff. I don't have any aim in life. My only dream in life is to fly to America but I dont want to work hard for it. I and Vatsal are actually media students who have to make a film which is a part of the project given in college. We succeed in our task when we complete our film on our heroes who in spite of not being a part of the army willingly help others. Q- What would you like to say about all your other co stars? A-I had a wonderful experience with all of them. Amrita Arora is casted opposite me ,as she is a part of our family there is a different kind of comfort level that we share, but above all I was really impressed with Preity. This is my first film with her and I have already become her fan. Not only is she an excellent actress she is also an excellent human being. If she doesn't have an objection then I would love to work with her in future again. I liked Sunny Deol too, he is so professional that he is only focused to his work. He never looks or wants to know what's happening around him. Q- Which was the most memorable moment of this entire film? A- I have almost seen the entire world and then finally drawn this conclusion that our India is the best amongst all. For no reason we go to other places in abroad for our shoots. I feel I have discovered the real India during the making of this film. Q- In a particular scene in this film you are seen without a shirt, what did big bro Salman have to say? A-Yes he saw me and immediately commented as to why am I looking so fat? I told him that I'm playing the character of a bull on hearing that he bursted out laughing. I agree that im really looking fat in this film coz they wanted me to look fat and lazy and bigger than Vatsal in size. When I was shooting for this scene I was sure that the viewers would compare me to Salman so I thought why the hell I even am trying or why have I even agreed to do this scene. But as it was the requirement of the film I had to go ahead with it. Q- Sameer Karnik's previous film Nanhe Jaisalmer did not do well, how did you feel working with him? A-After working with him I realized that Sameer is an excellent director. The reason behind his previous film not doing well was his story which was technically very strong. This time he has selected the right story, not only am I convinced but Preity, Salman, Mithun Da and Sunny Deol too feel the same. They all believed in the story and agreed to act for it and finally it's made beautifully. Q- As you are a director yourself have you ever ended up suggesting your views while working with another director? A-Whatever discussions we have are only when we are listening to the story. Once we have entered the sets we do not discuss anything until and unless there are any changes in the story. In case the director makes certain changes in the script then he has to give a clarification to the actor as to why did he do it. If the actor agrees with him then they go ahead with the changes if no then the plans are cancelled. But I personally never do anything like this. Q- Then should we say that in spite of being a director yourself you are a director's actor? A- Being a director myself I respect all directors. Q—Define each of your co stars in a single word A-Sunny Deol- strong, Bobby Deol- determined, Salman Khan- excellent, Dino Morea-friendly, Preity Zinta-professional Q- According to you which of them look better in the costume of a sardar, Salman or Sunny? A-I guess Sunny looks perfect in the costume of a sardar but Salman's physique is better. Q- You've been working with Salman continuously in your last three films, how do you feel working with him? A-Very easy and good. We understand each other so well and that shows in our work.Salman himself agrees that to make a successful film there is a lot of team work required. Not only Salman if each and every actor in the film compliments each other and work then the film is bound to do well. Q- You share a wonderful onscreen chemistry with Salman which the viewers appreciate would you continue doing so in your forthcoming films? A-All the three films that we are coming together are different.Mr and Mrs. Khanna, Veer and Heroes are the three films from which MrAnd Mrs. Khanna is a romantic film made on a light note and I think the viewers are going to enjoy watching it. Q- Producing, directing or acting, amongst the three which one do you really enjoy? A- Production is what I simply enjoy doing, accumulating all the talent in front of the camera is what excites me. also when your are the producer of the film you are connected to each and every thing that's happening in this way you get to learn a lot. Q- Currently what's the status of Amar Akbar Anthony? A-As I finish Parter 2 by next Sept or October we start with this film. Q- Would you like to play any specific character out of the any book? A- This is a difficult question to ask as I do not read books I only watch films. Q- It's in news that Salman Khan, David Dhawan Govinda and you are all planning to make Tom and Jerry? A-I haven't thought much except that I have registered the title Tom and Jerry. We are planning to make a comedy flick on two actors. Actually a lot of people thought that it's Parter 2 with that name but that's not true. I would like to say that the name Partner has become a brand and I would always maintain its purity. Q- What are your forthcoming films? A- Veer, Mr. and Mrs. Khanna and Kisaan are the major ones.
