Special film screening at Rashtrapati Bhawan

Harishchandrachi Factory' is India's official entry to Oscars

A special screening of Marathi film "Harishchandrachi Factory", India's official entry to the Oscars, will take place at the Rashtrapati Bhawan on Jan 16.

The film, that will hit theatres on Jan 22, will be screened at the President's Estate Auditorium.

Co-produced by Paprika Media and Mayasabha Production, the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic is the directorial debut of Mumbai-based theatre actor-director Paresh Mokashi.

Starring Nandu Madhav and Vibhawari Deshpande, the film is on the making of "Raja Harishchandra", India's first full length feature film made in 1913 by the pioneer of Indian cinema Dadasaheb Phalke.

Mokashi's low-budget period film was completed in January. It has bagged a series of international awards and honours.

This is the second Marathi film after "Shwaas" to be nominated by India for an Oscar in five years. "Shwaas" was Sandeep Sawant's directorial debut.

Akshay's new strategy for avoiding flops

He’s working for free!

Akshay Kumar won’t be charging anything for his next two films – “Khatta Meetha” and “Tees Maar Khan” – which are being co-produced by his production house Hari Om Productions.

Trade circles say that Akki, who has reportedly even signed a film for a fee as high as Rs.71 crore, has had a change of mind.

The actor explains the logic behind this drastic move of not charging his market fee: "My fee for both the films will be zero. If both films are hits, then my production house will stand to benefit by getting a part of the profits. If the film is average, the profit margin will automatically be reduced. However, it's important to note here that even if the film flops, no one will lose money because the budget has been controlled."

It’s believed that Akshay’s astronomical fee for films like “Chandni Chowk To China”, “8x10 Tasveer” and “Kambakkht Ishq” unrealistically increased the budgets of these movies making it hard for them to recover the huge investments thereby causing them to tank at the box office.

And, the nominations go to… ‘3 Idiots’

Movie features in 21 categories of Star Screen Awards

It’s that time of the year again. Bollywood’s annual award nights are all set to roll and quite understandably, “3 Idiots” is poised to dominate.

Up first is the Star Screen Awards and “3 Idiots” has secured a nomination in 21 categories! In fact, the movie has already won the distinction of earning the highest number of nominations in the 16 years since the Screen Awards started.

Aamir Khan has famously boycotted all popular awards, year after year, and we wonder whether he’ll show up at any of these events now.

Traditionally, Shah Rukh Khan has featured prominently at these awards nights, but as this year he had no release except “Billu”, SRK has got no nomination.

However, King Khan still holds the record for maximum nominations (17) across categories at Star Screen Awards. Aamir is the next closest competitor with 12 nominations.

Another heavy weight this year is Katrina Kaif who has topped the Screen survey of the Most Paisa Vasool Multiplex Star and has got the maximum votes for an actor who represents the changing face of Bollywood.

Katrina has also for the first time won herself a nomination in Best Actress category for “New York”.

Abhishek all set for TV debut

Launch date of game show yet to be announced

Dressed in a bright yellow coat over a pale yellow shirt and white trousers, Abhishek Bachchan sports a metrosexual look for his debut TV show "National Bingo Night" to be aired on Colors.

Apart from that, the actor sports a baby pink jacket for the promotional photo shoot for the show.

However, this isn't the first time Abhishek is flaunting the metrosexual look - he made similar style statements in movies like "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" and "Dostana".

He is extremely excited about the show, being produced by Fox Television Studios India Pvt. Ltd.

"It's a fun-filled show where the whole country will be my guest without applying any brains or answer any difficult questions. This is such a chilled out concept and something that has never been done before in India. The sheer simplicity of the idea and the fact that this show is highly interactive is what attracted me to it," Abhishek said in a press statement.

The game show will have two fast-paced rounds of the popular guessing game 'Bingo'.

The formal launch of the show was preceded by a flurry of marketing activity including teasers on the channel. For the past few weeks, viewers could see glimpses of Abhishek reclining on a chair or dozing in a cosy bed in promos announcing the launch of his 'Aaram Classes'.

"The idea here is that it's a show which is to be enjoyed by relaxing. That's why we came up with the concept of Aaram Classes... we want people to chill out and play this game. There's no stress, no tension involved at all. So tune in to learn 'aaram' and get ready for Bingo," said Abhishek.

The launch date of the show has yet to be announced.

The format of the show is owned by 20th Fox Television Distribution and it has run successfully in the US, Australia and Philippines.

Shaleen Bhanot denies looking like Shah Rukh

TV actor putting heart and soul into new serial

TV actor Shaleen Bhanot says his look in NDTV Imagine's new show "Do Hanson Ka Jodaa" has no similarity with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's in the hit movie "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi".

"I think he (Shah Rukh) will commit suicide if he comes to know that somebody is comparing me to him. But honestly, there is no similarity between his character and mine. Maybe we look similar due to the get up, but there have been other actors like Amol Palekar who have done such roles before," Shaleen told IANS.

In "Do Hanson Ka Jodaa", which will premiere on Jan 18, Shaleen plays Suryakamal, an ordinary looking middle-class man who gets married to Preeti, a girl who dreamt of marrying a handsome hunk. The show is about how Preeti adjusts with Suryakamal.

"The only reason why they have built up such a look for the lead is because a simple, middle class man who is very religious towards his work, usually looks like that. Spectacles, a neat pair of trousers, a crisp shirt and at times, oily hair - and that's just my look in the show," he said.

At a time when all male actors are busy pumping iron for the perfect six packs, Shaleen lost six kgs of muscle and grew a moustache to play the simpleton.

"I have put my heart and soul towards this show. I had to lose six kgs of my muscle, I had to grow a moustache and even my side locks. I have put in a lot to make my character look real and I hope the show turns out well," said Shaleen.

Though Shaleen was using a fake moustache at first, he decided to grow a real one.

"A fake moustache looks fake. So I thought I'd rather grow my own moustache. I am very religious towards my work. I felt the fake one was hindering my acting and my performance, and I wanted to be very natural," he said.

A former MTV "Roadies" participant, Shaleen has also acted in shows like "Saat Phere", "Kulvaddhu" and "Kaajjal". However, he came into spotlight when he won dance reality show "Nach Baliye 4", in which he participated with his then girlfriend and now wife, actress Daljeet Kaur.

The duo tied the knot on Dec 9 this year. But they haven't even had the time to plan their honeymoon yet.

"I'm on the 70th heaven as of now. I don't know when we will go for honeymoon so we are trying to take out as much time as we can to roam around with each other as of now," he said.

Amitabh to do news roundup on TV

Catch him discussing global issues on Dec 31

picture: Getty Images

After playing Auro from "Paa" in a number of off-screen events, Amitabh Bachchan now assumes the role of media magnet Vijay Harshwardhan Mallik from his forthcoming movie "Rann" and will appear on a TV channel to do a year-end news round-up.

"And we aren't just talking about entertainment-related activities," said the film's co-producer Sheetal Talwar who was present when Big B donned the garb of a news anchor holding forth on events of the year from the world on the news channel Times Now.

"And it was events from the world of global politics. Mr. Bachchan just took over the television space as though he had done news analysis all his life. It was an amazing experience," Talwar told IANS.

On Thursday (Dec 31) night the megastar will reportedly be heard talking on roughly six global issues of 2009 - Indian national politics, terrorism, cricket, swine flu, recession and Obama on an hour-long segment.

This would be the first of several media-related activities that the Big B is scheduled to participate in before director Ram Gopal Varma's "Rann" hits the screens on Jan 29.

Apparently he intends to assume whatever character he plays in his forthcoming films and promote the film as the character rather than 'Amitabh Bachchan'.

'3 Idiots' accused of glorifying ragging

NGO complains to Supreme Court

A voluntary organisation working against ragging in India has complained to the Supreme Court appointed anti-ragging committee about the menace being glorified in Bollywood film '3 Idiots'.

"We have written to the R.K. Raghavan committee about the ragging scene in the film.

Raghavan has assured us to take appropriate action," Harsh Agarwal, head of the Coalition to Uproot Ragging from Education (CURE), told IANS.

"... recently released movie 3 Idiots has a scene on ragging, shown in a lighter sense. This is director Raj Kumar Hirani's second film, first being Munnabhai MBBS, where ragging has been used as a theme to make the audience laugh," Agarwal has written in his complaint to Raghavan.

"This not only shows the insensitivity towards the issue but more importantly such acts significantly add to the confusion already existing in the society vis-a-vis ragging. Millions of people, who don't know anything about ragging but have watched Munnabhai MBBS, till today remember the scene from this film and believe that ragging is all about dance and fun," the complaint adds.

Agarwal said instead of creating awareness against ragging, "the movie is glorifying it. Treating it as a subject of fun. This must end as hundreds of students across India suffer a lot due to ragging."

According to a study by CURE, the number of ragging cases reported (from July 2008-June 2009) are 88, number of ragging deaths are 12 and number of attempted suicides (due to ragging) are five.

Anupam's one-man play to complete 200 shows

Story about failures in his life

Anupam Kher and and director Feroz Abbas han

picture: Viral Bhayani

Anupam Kher is all set for the 200th show of his one man play "Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai". Director Feroz Abbas Khan says making a play with a single character was quite challenging.

"Structuring the whole concept was a real challenge. I have done big productions with at least two characters. But making a play with one character who is narrating his own story was really a big challenge for me," Khan told IANS.

"Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai" will complete its 200th show at National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) here Jan 3. In this play, the actor has focussed on failures in his life.

"Talking about success can boil down to lots of self indulgence and that can be irritating for the audience.

"I gathered the materials from his (Anupam) inputs. But if we had used those raw facts, it would have become a documentary. There had to be a story that contains entertainment, suspense and at the end it should connect to make it successful," said Khan.

Celina wants to do a Bengali film now

It’s one of her targets for 2010

picture: ITP Image

Celina Jaitley has already dabbled in Telugu and Kannada films and the former beauty queen now wants to work in a Bengali film, preferably one with Rituparno Ghosh.

"I have spent a lot of time in West Bengal and this is the reason I can easily associate myself with the place, culture and the language. I would really love to work in a Bengali movie because I feel they make very emotional and interesting movies," Celina told IANS in an interview.

"The way they weave stories is fascinating. They simply touch the human chord. I would love to work with Ritu-da (Rituparno Ghosh). This would be one of my targets for the next year," she said.

Celina is riding high after winning the best female actor award for her performance in the English film "Love Has No Language" at the 33rd Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) held Nov 10-20. The movie was a New Zealand entry at the film festival.

"This year has been so good. Winning this award has been an icing on the cake. These awards work as a motivation factor and help you perform better. As the role was a bit different from the conventional roles I do, it worked," said the actress.

"I have always seen that whenever I have attempted something different, I have been appreciated," she added.

"Love Has No Language", an engaging romantic movie, was directed by Ken Khan and stars New Zealand actor Ben Mitchell as well as Hindi film actors Rati Agnihotri and Kiran Kumar.

The 28-year-old, who has featured in Hindi movies like "Janasheen", "No Entry" and "Golmaal Returns", has seven movies in her kitty and is confident that she will make her presence felt on the big screen next year.

The model-turned-actress doesn't understand why people question her if she opts to do only a few movies.

"If Aamir Khan does one movie at a time, he is applauded but if Celina Jaitley chooses to do a few movies, she is criticised. Why such disparity?" the actress asked.

Apart from acting, Celina is involved with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and is also a gay rights activist.

"In my free time, I love to work for the causes I strongly feel for. All these things are no substitute for romance but they are something that I feel responsible for," she said.

"I choose to live my life fully and it deserves appreciation," she added.

The actress will soon be seen in movies like "Accident On Hill Road", "Run Bhola Run" and "Chai Garam".
