When he tweeted the link everyone was surprised to see the video on the private mode. But the viewers kept refreshing their pages till 1 O’ clock and there it comes.
 
Finally the much awaited promo of Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan was released. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0UXgoJ9Shg&feature=youtu.be
 
The promo looks promising and at the same time we can expect another semi predictable romantic love story. There is no need of worry when Gulzar is there as the lyricist. His magical lyrics with the unbeatable compositions of A R Rahman have always been blockbuster hits. We have examples like Dil Se, Guru, Slumdog Millionaire etc.
 
Shah Rukh Khan’s young looks with Katrina and his matured military look with Anushka are worth watching. Both Kat and Anushka are gorgeous in the trailer.
 
Now that Anushka has already created chemistry with SRK in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, it will be interesting to watch Katrina and Shah Rukh romancing for the first time.

Salman’s back on the baap of all reality shows…

Well, well.. After the long wait, finally the much awaited, the masaaledaar and the baap of all reality shows is back on Colors. Yes, we are talking about the most controversial show on Indian television, Bigg Boss and this time we will finally get to see the pure magic of Salman Khan back again on screen.
 
Last season, the show suffered in numbers and also reputation last season because of contestants, Siddharth and Akashdeep Saighal. The viewers were also not really impressed with Sanjay Dutt’s hosting. The audiences waited for the days when Salman joined as a host.
 
Salman shared, "Last year the show was reprimanded by IBM owing to the vulgarity. As a host I am not supposed to interfere in the contestant's life, however I made an exception because of the extreme situation between Siddharth and Akashdeep. I do watch all the episodes of Bigg Boss and therefore exactly know what is going on in the house. Sometimes you just can't stop yourself because it is a reality show and the world is seeing it. There are many people who cannot see the show due to the usage of foul language which is used".
 
This season, apart from Salman’s solo comeback, there are various other changes. Like the participation of common man with the celebrities and also its two new unique members; the parrot and the fish. Wonder what they are going to do on the show.
 
Well, for what it is worth, the viewers are much delighted to see their ‘Bhai’ back in the pink of his health. Let us wait and watch if he successfully creates the same magic like his earlier seasons.

Thuppaki, the wait continues

The agony continues for team ‘Thuppaki’! They will now have to wait up to 21st September to get a final word on the title row that is on with the film with a similar title - ‘Kalla Thuppaki’. A city court in Chennai has said that they would deliver a verdict on the issue this Friday and have postponed the case until next week.



It may be noted that the makers of Vijay-starrer, ‘Thuppakki’ are keen to get on with things and had indicated about their intentions a few days ago. It is said the producers are eager to launch their teaser and then get to work with regard to the audio launch and press meet.



The plans are to release the film starring Vijay and Kajal Agarwal and directed by A. R. Murugadoss for Diwali. It may be noted that Vijay is donning the role of a cop, and the film is touted to be a sleek action-drama film. However, with the title issue still dragging, their plans seem a bit shaky right now. With so many Kollywood films being pushed around all the time, this just seems like a film worth the wait!

Bollywood actors in their differently-abled role

Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra portrayed two differently-abled people in their latest flick Barfi. The two actors showcased outstanding performances in their respective roles so much that the people can’t stop talking about their act.
Like Ranbir and Priyanka, we also have several other actors who have portrayed differently abled roles. Let us run through them.

Rani Mukherjee in Black: Rani swept away all the awards in 2005 for her extraordinary performance in the movie Black. She portrayed the visually challenged Michelle McNally who surpasses all the hurdles to obtain a degree from a normal college. Her role, complemented with Amitabh Bachchan’s special hand, proved the movie, a magical one to watch even today



Shah Rukh Khan in My Name Is Khan: Shah Rukh tried his hands as the autistic Rizwan Khan in Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan. Though the movie was hyped ever since it was announced, Shah Rukh did not receive over the top reviews for his performance as his role was compared to Dustin Hoffman’s role in Rain Man.



Hrithik Roshan in Koi Mil Gaya and Guzaarish: Hrithik played the adorable Rohit in Koi Mil Gaya and he was accepted whole heartedly by the audience. Being a new comer then, it was a tough role where he had to portray the role of a 21 year old with the brain of a seven year old. Later on he went on to play the quadriplegic Ethan Mascarenhas in Guzaarish.






Vidya Balan in Bhool Bhulaiyya: Vidya Balan performed splendidly well as the sweet and adorable Avni and the vengeful Monjolika simultaneously in Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiyya. She was portrayed as a girl suffering from multiple personality disorder.





Kajol in U Me Aur Hum: The story of U Me Aur Hum was running smooth until we discovered that Pia is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Kajol portrayed the role of Pia decently well in Ajay Devgn’s directorial debut.





Amitabh Bachchan in Paa: Amitabh Bachchan received his third National Award for his role in Paa as the 12 year old Auro suffering from progeria. He proved to be an unbeatable actor with his performance in the movie.






How many actors do you remember who have portrayed such unique characters?

We like to see them together on screen…

When we think of Bollywood, the first thing that comes to our mind is that it is a family affair. From producers to the directors to the actors; they are related in some way or the other. Either as brothers or sons and daughters or as sisters. But many a times, they are not really seen on screen together.
Let us list some names that we would like to see together on screen.

The Kapoor bloods, Kareena and Ranbir, are two such siblings whom the viewers are, literally speaking, dyeing to watch together on screen. They made a big news when they were seen together in an airport with Karisma Kapoor recently. Well, if getting seen in an airport together can make a big news, then the makers do not even have to worry about the eye balls getting dragged in the theatre if they are planning to cast them together.

 
We have seen movies wherein the father and the son share screen space. But the father-son duo that the viewers are willing to watch is Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor. Rishi had proved to be a cool dad leaving Ranbir to live his life. It would be interesting to see both of them together in any of the flicks.
The unbreakable bond of the the Deol brothers with their father has been really evident from their movies like Apne and Yamla Pagla Deewana. But it would be a different experience if the viewers could see the Deol brothers with their Deol sisters; either with Esha or Ahana

Sonam Kapoor and Anil Kapoor have become two big names in Bollywood. Anil is today and international figure after the success of Oscar winning, Slumdog Millionaire and Sonam is regarded as a fashion icon in the industry. Though the duo has appeared together in a commercial, it would be exciting to watch them together on the celluloid.


Imran Khan received a perfect launch with the youth oriented; Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. backing him was one of the most successful actors of Bollywood and his Maamu, Aamir Khan. They have always shared a cordial relationship where Aamir has always been concerned about his nephew. It would be worth a watch if the duo could come together and share the screen space.
 
Who are you waiting to see together on screen?

Bollywood: from Silver Screen to Small Screen

Promotion on a large scale in every nook and corner possible is the mantra today for Bollywood. Be it on screen or off screen. When Ghajini was to be released, Aamir Khan went beyond the expectations and turned himself into hair dresser. He disguised himself in various avtars and gelled with the janta during the promotions of 3 Idiots. Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao personally went and signed tickets for the first day shows of Vivaah. Well, these are some innovative off screen promotion tactics.
 
But today more than anything, the Bollywood prefers the medium of television for their movie promotion. The popular actors reach each and every reality shows possible as guests and promote their flicks. Several actors have also been a part of the show for one episode.
 
Today if we switch on the television all we can see are the cast and crew of Barfi and Heroine in every show possible. Jhalak Dikhlaaja, Indian Idol 6, DID Lil Masters, Dance Ke Superkids; all we can see is in these shows is the movie promotions.
 
Actors being part of daily soaps are also not new. It can as a big surprise when Kunal Kohli decided to promote his movie Hum Tum on Yeh Meri Life Hain when it was being aired on Sony Entertainment Television. The TRPs of the episode rose to its peak during the promotions. The trend is being followed even today. Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan were part of the episodes of popular daily soaps like Na Aana Is Desh Laado and CID. Vidya Balan was a part of the show Uttaran when Kahaani was about to release. Salman Khan was a part of Na Aana Is Desh Laado for two of his blockbuster hits Dabangg and Bodyguard. Aditi Rao Haidari and Ali Zafar were part of Zee TV’s Mrs Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein. Ranbir Kapoor was a part of Zee TV shows recently for the promotions of Barfee.
 
Bollywood stars appear as themselves also in many of the television shows. Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan were part of the popular television show Bade Achche Laggte Hain for The Dirty Picture promotions. And the same goes for Kya Super Kool Hain Hum. The team of Bol Bachchan was part of the Star Plus’ popular show Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hain.    
 
The names will be endless if we start listing it down. Leaving the fact whether the film works or not, being a part of a television show definitely broadens your reach and visibility. Today with no medium left, it seems like the film crew will have to look out for even more innovative ways to attract more eye balls to theatres.

Kollywood: It’s a dog eat dog world!

Kollywood has witnessed the influx of several actors and actresses rushing in from other filmy families down South! We’ve seen this trend with Aishwarya Rai, Sameera Reddy, Sonu Sood, Rahul Dev, Hansika Motwani, Ashish Vidyarthi and many more actors in Bollywood who have a big fan base in the south – both as actors and villains!  
However, this is the first time, an actor has not been welcomed into the family! It brings up the question, of whether the actress will give up, or bounce back as a leading lady! Lisa Haydon is out of Kollywoodalready? Is the big ‘Q-at-hand’ now!
There was a lot of hype surrounding Hollywood beauty, Lisa Haydon's entry into Kollywood.

However, sources now say that Kollywood actress Trisha Krishnan wanted the Hollywood actress out from 'Endrendrum Punnagai', since the start of the film.

It is unfortunate that the news surrounding Lisa is true, and she was dumped unceremoniously from the film. Trisha apparently felt Lisa’s presence in the film as a threat to her popularity and role in the film! Trisha asked director Ahmed to remove her from the star cast of the film. The actress is also reported to have threatened the director that she would walk out of the film, if Lisa is a part of it. Since, Ahmed had shot some important scenes with Trisha, he decided to drop Lisa and opt for Andrea Jeremiah instead! Now, Andrea will play a cameo in the upcoming film.
 
This attitude of actresses towards one another and of director’s towards their crew and cast, shows a glimpse of how cut throat the film fraternity can be.
 
Whether Lisa fights back, or gets walked upon? We’ll just have to wait and watch!

The never-ending saga of Kollywood release dates!

It is no secret that films in the South, unlike Bollywood, have a constant fluctuation in terms of final release dates. Often, even the month of the film's release is not finalized, till the very last minute!
In the past 2 months the release dates of 3 big starrer films – ‘Kochadaiyaan’, ‘Maattraan’and ‘Vishwaroopam’ have shifted from Diwali to Christmas, clashed with each other over three times, rescheduled and gossiped about, and finally, back to being inconclusive of when they will hit screens.
In a recent interview with a leading national English newspaper, Prabhu Deva who jumped from Kollywood into Bollywood as a director, stated this, “In Bollywood people are extremely professional. The release dates of the films are announced long before the film hits the floors and is confirmed when the film is at its post-production stage”.  
However, in Kollywood the story is very different. For instance, this September the release of ‘Podaa Podi’, ‘Charulatha’and the much-awaited ‘Thandaavam’ has been pre-poned and postponed ample number of times!

Actress Priyamani's much-awaited movie 'Charulatha' was touted as one of the top releases in September. Being pushed from the 7th to the 14th earlier, now the film will finally hit the screens on the postponed released date of 21st September.
The Tamil version is ready to head to the censors, and so is the Kannada version of the film. Sources reveal that this could further add to the postponing of the film's release, however, as of now, 21st in the date!
The film's leading lady, Priyamani, hasn't been seen in Kollywoodlately. She is looking forward to the release of her latest venture, which is a drama-thriller and hopes to bounce back strongly into the Kollywood film industry!
The release date issue is not just restricted to Kollywood, even in Tollywood much-awaited films like, ‘Damarukam’, ‘Gauravam’ and ‘Autonagar Surya’ have never been constant about their release dates!
It’s going to be long before Bollywood catches up to Hollywood;and Kollywood and other film families down South, match up to Indian release date standards!

Talaash: A movie to look forward to…

Aamir Khan is known to be a perfectionist and it is believed that whichever movie he works his has his share in it.
 
The theatrical trailer of his much awaited movie Talaash was released yesterday, and with the look of it, it is promising (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il-_s2O3Qt8). There are various factors which make this movie in the list of much watch. Prominently, the views will see Aamir Khan as a cop nearly after more than a decade. The last movie where he played a cop was in the critically acclaimed Sarfarosh. He enthralled the viewers as the young and vengeful Ajay Singh Rathore. This November will be seen portraying the khakhee clad, Inspector Shekhawat. Secondly, Rani Mukherjee will be seen sharing the screen space with Aamir after a hiatus. The fans were longing  to see them together since their last flick, Mangal Pandey. Their chemistry has always been magical, be it Ghulam or Mangal Pandey. Also Rani and Kareena Kapoor will join hands after Mujhse Dosti Karoge. Well, that would be something to look forward to.
Talaash’s trailer is undoubtedly unnerving. It arouses the interest, it creates mystery and it definitely urges us to watch the movie. With the trailer release it is now difficult to wait for two more months for its release.

Clash of the stars

It is very cool to be related to a celebrity, be it sharing birthdays or anniversaries, any kind of events or whatsoever. A common man will be very proud to be associated with a star.

But do you think a star will be overwhelmed with this thought?? Do you think stars like sharing birthdays and losing the center of attraction, or for that matter the biggest question is having stars releasing their movies on the same day??

In regards to this, no movie-maker will ever take that chance, especially if the stars consist of Pawan Kalyan, Nagarjuna, Chiranjeevi, Kamal Haasan, Shruthi Haasan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Taapsee Pannu and many more.


These stars are exclusive. They have their own set of fan following, their unique style statement and most importantly their own attention.
 
Recently, the latest buzz that surprised us all was Pawan Kalyan's movie 'Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu' and Nagarjuna's next 'Damarukuram' releasing one after the other. For a second everyone in Tollywood was confused as to which actor's movie they should be watching as both of them are big stars in the film industry.

But apparently, the latter shifted dates as they wanted their own attention and this would definitely happen as the hype would build up to watch the movie.

So think twice before you make any decisions, check what's happening around and then make a confirmation.

Will Sushant Singh Rajput find his space in Bollywood?

Television stars leaving their grounds to chase Bollywood dreams is not something that we hear for the first time. Several names like Rajeev Khandelwal, Aamna Sharif, and Amar Upadhyay have left their popular television shows, with good TRPs, to try their hands in Bollywood. And today, joining the league is none other than our very own Manav from Pavitra Rishta, Sushant Singh Rajput, who will make his Bollywood debut with Abhishek Kapoor’s Kai Po Che.

Jitesh Pillai tweeted lately, “J ‏@jiteshpillaai  A certain sushant singh rajput is being touted as the guy to watch in kai po che. Has he also signed second lead in raju hirani's next? Yes?”
Undeniably, Sushant is one such name who made it really big in television. His characters as Preet (in Kis Desh Mein Hain Mera Dil) and Manav created a huge buzz among the television buffs. But it will be interesting to see if he makes it big in Bollywood as well.


Like Rajeev Khandelwal, Aamna Sharif and Amar Upadhyay, Sushant also comes from the Balaji background, run by the television magnet, Ekta Kapoor. Rumour mills say that they stepped into the big world upsetting the television queen. And if we look back, we can clearly say that their Bollywood careers have not been very bright apart from Rajeev Khandelwal’s, who has managed to select some good movies like Aamir and Shaitaan. Like the predecessors, Sushant also reportedly quit Pavitra Rishta upsetting his mentor Ekta. Well, taking a panga with the television queen, who also has a big hand in Bollywood; it’s something which everyone has to think over.
 
Will Sushant manage to survive in this filmy world? Or will he join the league of his former counterparts? That would be something to look forward to.

The naked truth of Shia LaBeouf.


Shia LaBeouf is synonymous to blockbuster movies despite his youthful age. The actor has risen to fame playing pretty predictable characters in audience-friendly works, but in recent years, he’s done just about everything in his power to distance himself from that image. A few months back, a quest for artistic and crazier notion convinced him to strip off in Sigur Ros absurd new video, and now, it apparently landed him even to crazier places.

Film roles are typically won via auditions or prior performances, but there’s another way to do for the young superstar. In order to win the leading role in Lars Von Trier’s upcoming erotic drama Nymphomaniac. Shia LaBeouf went with a very unique and extremely X-rated plan, taped himself having sex with his girlfriend and sent the footage to Von Trier as a way to prove he’d be willing to have the real sex required for the film. 

Jamie Bell, Stellan Skarsgard, Connie Nielsen and several others have also boarded the project in recent weeks or months, and it’s unlikely all of them participated in this wild scheme.  For some people LaBeouf decision to have real sex in a movie is total art and to many it may be utter nonsense. It is tough to question the transformation of the Transformer star.

With three years in B-Town, this choreographer-turned-director has had a string of super hits and has just bagged his second Salman Khan flick. In an interview with a leading national daily, Prabhu Deva says his Bollywood journey has been going great and talks about Salman, Vijay, the success of ‘Rowdy Rathore’and his personal life.
On asked about how he feels to lucky director to have Salman in his next film, he exclaims, “Superb! I have known Salman for the last 15 years and used to speak to him whenever I met him. He’s a gem of a person! Even on the sets, he doesn’t bond with me like a hero and director. He takes good care of everyone on the sets. He doesn’t express himself that openly. But recently he invited me to watch ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and another movie. He’s very fond of me and I am very fond of him. As of now, nothing has been decided about the story”.
Salman Khan has been known to be generous in the industry and amongst the masses. Prabhu Deva, however, seemed to be in a chatty, upfront mood and spoke about working in Mumbai.  “People here are extremely professional. The kind of money involved is huge, so everything works like clockwork. When they announce a film, they also announce the release date! In the last three years, I have seen it all go according to how it’s planned”.

It is fascinating how a south Indian, Kollywoodfamous choreography, manages to direct films in the ‘Hindi’language. Prabhu Deva promptly remarks, “I understand Hindi well and I am comfortable. Before I start work on a film, I know the dialogues and what each and every word in Hindi means. Once you start working, it comes to you naturally. It’s a process. I contribute to dialogues also — how it should be, etc. However, most of the times, I need help with the lyrics for the songs”.
 
There have been rumours in K-town and B-townthat Prabhu Deva has been seeing someone in the city, after his break-up with ex-wife and Tamil and Telugu actress Nayantara. To this the director says that he is focused on his work and has his hands full with new projects. The director also exclaims, “I have no time for a personal life!”

The big bloods of Bollywood

After 2006, we saw several young bloods making their big debuts in Bollywood. Well, they also had their Bollywood blood in them. The names include Imran Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Harman Baweja and Jacky Bhagnani. But the only name we see today in the success actors list is undoubtedly Ranbir Kapoor.
 
Neil Nitin Mukesh was considered as a promising actor when his movie Johnny Gaddar was released. But it seems like his cards were not right when he stepped into the entertainment world as he is still in the run to get his name in the lead actors list.
 
There was a huge hue and cry when it was reported that the look alike of Hrithik Roshan would debut in Bollywood and would prove to be a tough competition for the actor. But when Harman Baweja made his debut people failed to even recognize him as a star let alone the look alike. Well, his entry and exit was evidently not really considered a competition to any of the new comers then.
 
Jacky Bhagnani when debuted in Bollywood should have really thought twice about the movie with which he was debuting. Well, seriously, how many of you guys even remember the name? But his movie F.A.L.T.U was partially a right choice for him. At least we had Remo debuting as a director and of course the popular number Chaar Baj Gaye was indeed the bonus track for him.
 
Imran Khan’s debut was perfect. The right story, the right banner backing him and release at the right time. And the response, of course, had to be the best. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na proved to be a great opening for Imran Khan. But what followed was his repetitive roles and weak selection of movies. He took up a bold step by moving away from the chocolate boy image to rugged look in Kidnap. Though the movie received an average response, his effort was appreciated. But his movie Luck proved to be an unlucky one for him. Imran later could not come out of his charming and the boy next door image which was continued in his later movies like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Ek Mein Aur Ek Tu, Break Ke Baad, I Hate Luv Stroys and similar.
 
But the one graph which has always been elevating since the beginning was of Ranbir Kapoor’s. With no hick up, anybody can say that his debut movie was a complete flop. Well, he is a Kapoor and history shows that the Kapoors rule the industry. He proved it again. Ranbir’s success rate has been unmatched. Bachna Ae Haseeno, Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani, Rajneeti, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, Rockstar and to the recent Barfi; Ranbir has not seen replicating his roles. He proved that he could transform himself from the stupid and funny Prem of Ajab Prem… to the don’t-mess-with-me Samar Pratap of Rajneeti. This versatile actor proved to be a true blood of Kapoor.
 
Well, with more of the young bloods debuting, it will be interesting to wait and watch who makes it to the top list in the coming days.

The circle of films from regional to mainstream and back to regional


The Malayalam film, ‘Manichitrathazhu’was remade into a dramatic Tamil version of the original, ‘Chandramukhi’. This was later made into Bollywood film 'Bhool Bhulaiya' starring Akshay Kumar, Shiney Ahuja and Vidya Balan.
 
Now the news is that 'Naan Ee' will be launched into its Hindi counterpart soon. The film was titled, 'Eega'in Telugu and 'Eecha' in Malayalam. However, the cherry-on-topis that the film is releasing next month on October 12th in Bollywood, with its synonymous meaning title – ‘Makhi’. The hindi edition of SS Rajamouli's recent tamil extravaganza, 'Naan Ee', which created waves at the South Indian box office, now hopes to create waves in Bollywood! Sharing his excitement, actor Sudeep, who also stars in the film, said, "The hindi version of 'Naan Ee' is going to be releasing on October 12. That is great news! Looking forward to the film's release".
 
Next in the pipeline is Sonu Sood starrer, ‘Madha Gaja Raja’ a Tamil film directed by Sundar C.
 
Kollywood has it’s own unique feel and approach to film making. It’s ginormous star base comprising of Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth, Surija, Karthi, Nayantara, Ajith and all those names that have become so popular in other film worlds as well. But is this depriving Kollywood of it’s own unique style of filmmaking? With Prabhu Deva jumping full hands and feet into ‘Rowdy Rathore’ and ‘Joker’and Dhanush in Bollywood opposite Sonam Kapoor in ‘Raanjhnaa’.
 
Well! We’ll never know for sure, if Kollywood is hell bent on heading towards a world of ‘mixes and matches’. It’s not long before Kollywood, Mollywood, Tollywood, Bollywood and all the woods we have ever come across, merge into one big ‘not-so-happy’ family. Or has that time already come?
