IT'S MY LIFE could be the story of my life - Anees Bazmee

One doesn't remember when was the last time, when Anees Bazmee worked with relative newcomers. In fact on thinking hard, one finds that there hasn't been any because whether it is SINGH IS KINNG (Akshay, Katrina), WELCOME (Akshay, Anil, Nana, Katrina), NO ENTRY (Anil, Salman, Fardeen, Lara), DEEWANGEE (Ajay, Akshaye Urmila), SANDWICH (Govinda, Raveena, Mahima), PYAAR TO HONA HI THA (Ajay, Kajol) or any of the other films directed by him in the past, Bazmee's forte has always been working with stars.

This is what makes his currently–in–progress IT'S MY LIFE special because Anees Bazmee is now working with Harman Baweja and Genelia D'Souza who are relatively new entrants in Bollywood. Though Genelia still has a blockbuster (JAANE TU YA JAANE NAA), a hit (MASTI) and two average runners (MERE BAAP PEHLE AAP, TUJHE MERI KASAM) to her credit, Harman is just starting out afresh after the debacle of LOVE STORY 2050.

''That's the way it has been and I am quite happy to be working with the youngsters'', says Anees Bazmee with a smile who is being extended the best of the offers from the bigwigs of Bollywood and Corporate world, ''Every individual sees ups and downs in his career; I have faced something like that as well. One has to go by the instincts and bet on the right talent.''

Speaking about IT'S MY LIFE further, Anees says emotionally, ''I too had numerous roadblocks but kept moving in relentlessly. After NO ENTRY, any other film maker would have done numerous movies but my WELCOME came after full two years came. Then SINGH IS KINNG came in quick time and now I am busy with IT'S MY LIFE. The characters in the film want to 'be' the way they want, even though there are quite a few challenges which come their way. Same held good for me too. In a way I feel that the film could well be the story of my own life!''

SRK: Most boring, normal guys are best lovers!

The most boring, normal guys are the best lovers! This surprising statement comes from none other than one of the greatest on screen lovers of all time, Shah Rukh Khan, who has successfully romanticized numerous young heroines and gave love a whole new meaning with the blockbuster, DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAAYENGE (still running in its record 675th week).

While talking about his role and character in Aditya Chopra's much anticipated, RAB NE BANA DI JODI, Shah Rukh Khan explained that he plays this normal, regular guy. It�s the sort of character that people meet in everyday life; there is nothing fancy, attractive or interesting about them. His role therefore requires him to keep things simple, his look, make up and his demeanour.

Once again Bollywood's global superstar has an interesting logic behind the character that he essays in RNBDJ. Shah Rukh says that the most boring, uninteresting, regular kinds of guys are the greatest lovers in the world. So, this means that SRK is once again going to immortalize love by playing this normal guy and he would definitely turn out to be the greatest lover in the world (on screen we mean!) for the umpteenth time.

Well, his fans can rest assured that even without those amazing six packs, Shah Rukh is going to sweep his billions of female fans (and make a million more!) off their feet with his romantic portrayal of a loveable guy next door, when RAB NE BANA DI JODI hits the screens globally, on December 12.

I liked the discipline at Warner Bros, - Tanushree

Tanushree Dutta has cast her name in the book of Bollywood history by being the first mainstream actress from India to have acted in a Warner Bros. film. As the production house opens its channels for Bollywood, SAAS BAHU AUR SENSEX turns out to be their first ever outing in India.

Says Tanushree, ''This is the first film which Warner Bros. is backing in India and my experience with them has been great since Day One. I was impressed by their entire approach towards things and the manner they conduct themselves. One must not forget that they have decades of movie making experience behind them and this is the very reason why they are so organized.''

Shedding some more light about the factors that have impressed her about one of the biggest Hollywood movie making houses, Tanushree adds, ''They are movie giants and quite disciplined. I like the kind of movies they are backing because SAAS BAHU AUR SENSEX isn't one of your run of the mill nonsensical tales. It isn't a case of unnecessary hype with no substantial content to back it up.''

Declaring her love for the film, Tanushree says in a firm tone, ''These are the kind of films that should be made in India. Director Shona Urvashi knows what she is talking about and her narrative makes complete sense.''

One gets an impression that the film has a Hrishikesh Mukherjee/Basu Chatterjee flavor to it. How far is this true?

''I guess it would be unfair to compare a two film old director (Shona) with greats like Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee'', says Tanushree, ''Yes, what Shona has succeeded in doing though is keeping the light hearted flavor of the narrative intact. In any case, now that the movie is out, it is for all to see how well she had done the job.''

Khan crazy: Sonal Chauhan

The two Khans of Bollywood who make our JANNAT girl Sonal Chauhan go weak in the knees are none other than Salman and Aamir Khan.

Sonal admits that when it comes to the looks department nobody can beat Sallu at it. ''Salman Khan is the best looking man in the film industry. There's something special about him. I love the rawness that he carries with himself.'' But when it comes to acting talent and handling a career intelligently, Sonal feels Aamir Khan is an ace. ''Aamir Khan is the most talented actor in the film industry. Coupled with hard work and luck, Aamir has reached great heights. He is someone aspiring actors can look upto. He has also handled his career with perfect acumen.''

Let's wait to see if Sonal gets a chance to work with either of the Khans. For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Hulla Movie Review

Director - Jaideep Varma
Producer - Sunil Doshi

Cast - Sushant Singh, Rajat Kapoor, Kartikadevi Rane, Mandeep, Vrajesh Hirjee, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and others.

Hulla, the film by debutant director Jaideep Varma, is an attempt to capture the travails of those living in an increasingly congested Mumbai and sometimes how something as insignificant as a whistle can cause turmoil in one's life. A share market broker Raj, played by Sushant Singh, shifts into a middle-class building in suburban Mumbai.

He finds he is unable to sleep due to the long-shrill whistle blown by the watchman every now and then, whereas his wife is absolutely unperturbed. Raj futilely turns to Janardan, the building secretary played by Rajat Kapoor, with his complaint. Soon they create a mountain out of a mole hill and the matter reaches the police station and unhinges two families.

This two-hour flick, in a very punny sort of way, gives a quick peek into the lives of the Mumbaikers full of eccentricities and peculiar tensions. People are show doing their bit to scale up the economic-social ladder by buying a better car, bigger house and shifting closer south Mumbai.

The neighbors of Raj - Janardan's wife who is as obsessed with yoga as she is about looking out for a two-bedroom flat and his next-door neighbor's daughter who is constantly breaking things - are really peculiar characters in Hulla. There sure is wit in this film, which Varma has himself penned, but the protagonists lack the energy to keep viewers' interest from wavering during the two-hour long span. On the whole, one can say that the film was a fair attempt.

My career is top priority: Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor says that she doesn’t like the endless attention people give to her relationship with actor Saif Ali Khan and that most of the stories are untrue.
“There’re so many false stories about Saif and me. But it’s okay. I understand the need to know what’s going in our lives. Are we married… are we not married? Please! Fortunately, I’ve learnt to take all this unwanted speculation in my stride. The best thing is to just do my work and not get affected by the loose talk,” Kareena said in an interview.
She says it was wrong to have heightened expectations from Tashan just because it had Saif and her.
“We just did what the script required us to. I don’t think people should’ve gone to see Tashan as Saif and my love story. What does that mean! We’re playing characters. That’s why Jab We Met worked. The characters worked,” said Kareena.
She doesn’t like comparing her love life with work and said: “When I’m working, I’m working. And when I’m with him (Saif), I’m all there.”
Excerpts:
Q: What’s this about you being the highest paid actress in India?
A: I don’t know what other actors get paid. And I don’t care. I get what I deserve. I’ve slogged right from Refugee to Jab We Met and Tashan. An actor is signed for what he or she can deliver.
Q: Is your price flexible?
A: I’ve always been flexible with my fee. The hunger is for the right roles.
Q: There were lots of heightened expectations from your last release Tashan because of you and Saif.
A: We just did what the script required us to. I don’t think people should’ve gone to see Tashan as Saif and my love story. What does that mean! We’re playing characters. That’s why Jab We Met worked. The characters worked. I had earlier done many films with Shahid while we were seeing each other. They didn’t work. Why?
Q: You tell me.
A: Today it’s the script that works. All actors are hungry for the right scripts and characters.
Q: All the attention given to your relationship with Saif - does that scare you?
A: I can’t stop living my life the way I want to just because of the attention. As long as I don’t let my family down, I’m not scared. I’ll always retain my values. But, yes, at times this endless attention does get scary. There’re so many false stories about Saif and me. But it’s okay. I understand the need to know what’s going in our lives. Are we married… are we not married? Please! Fortunately, I’ve learnt to take all this unwanted speculation in my stride. The best thing is to just do my work and not get affected by the loose talk.
Q: Are you fully comfortable in your relationship with Saif?
A: Yes. But only the two people in a relationship know what is going on. I don’t think people have the right to know what’s going on in my private life. They’ve my films to judge me by. I don’t need to give explanations about what happens behind my closed doors. Right now I’m loving it. The paparazzi is doing their job. We’re doing ours. Both Saif and I understand that.
Q: The two of you don’t have that much work together.
A: No, after Tashan we only have Renzil d’Silva’s film together. Both of us are too sensible to sign films just to spend time together. Saif is way too mature and extremely understanding. He respects the kind of work I like to do as I respect his work. And we keep our careers apart. Saif knows that right now my career is the most important thing to me. And that I need the space to work. To my family and me my career is top priority because I’ve worked really hard to get where I am. You as a friend have watched my struggle. My family and friends know how much I’ve slogged. I won’t give it up for anything.
Q: So career wins over love?
A: There’s no comparison between the two. When I’m working, I’m working. And when I’m with him (Saif), I’m all there. Besides, Saif is a superstar himself. He’s so busy.
Q: How do you rate him as an actor?
A: I think he’s a 10 on 10. The way he can make audiences laugh and cry is amazing. And his one-liners are extremely entertaining. And we’re both moody. So that’s fine.
Q: How excited are you about your current assignments?
A: All my current assignments are completely different from one another. I’m so excited about working with Aamir Khan in Raj Kumar Hirani’s film. Idiots is a comedy with a social message.
