Ek Tha Tiger did not show the real Sallu, my film will: Sajid Nadiadwala

Posted: 05 Sep 2012 06:58 AM PDT


Having said that, Sajid Nadiadwala promises that his maiden directorial Kick will showcase the actor in a way the audience will remember Sajid Nadiadwala is turning to direction. And he is both excited and nervous. "I may have spent 25 years in the industry as a producer, but I feel like a debutant today," claims the filmmaker since as a producer he only had to work with his mind but direction 'comes from the soul'. Moreover, the film stars his old friend Salman Khan. And presenting the star in a way his fans would want to see is not easy. But Sajid is confident about the venture that has been his 'baby since the word - go'. "Ek Tha Tiger is one of the biggest grosser but Salman's fans felt they didn't get enough of the superstar. I wouldn't like to comment on someone else's film. But as far as Kick is concerned, I want to make sure it has some great moments for the audience to remember," he tells TOI. The filmmaker claims that his friendship with Salman over the last two decades will add value to his maiden directorial. "Our journey together and the comfort level we share is important. Also, we have great chemistry, and that is something I want the audience to see through this film. This is my directorial debut, so I want to make it extra special for the people" he explains. In fact, Sajid tells us that it was Salman who pushed him into direction and adds, "Since Judwaa, which we made in 1996, he's been telling me I should direct a film. Of course, I wasn't ready then but that's never stopped him from suggesting it every now and then. When we decided to make Kick together, he brought it up once more. He told me that it was now or never to take the plunge." Incidentally his close friend Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder was to direct the film earlier. But Sajid claims, his sudden change of heart has not soured their relationship. "Shirish is a very cool guy and has a mind of his own. We parted ways mutually and amicably. He even told me that if I need any assistance, he's there to help. As far as Farah is concerned, she is my rakhi sister and I consider her my family. I would never ever think of hurting her and she knows that. In fact, she even sent me an SMS congratulating me," he explains.

What (most) men hate in women

Posted: 05 Sep 2012 06:50 AM PDT



Men (well, most men) are fond of women. That the opposite sex both attracts and distracts has been true since the beginning of time.

But men (again, most men) would find the world an infinitely better place to look at if women (that is, some women) stop indulging in some assumptions.

Too much makeup is good: Bad, that is what most guys will tell you. A face, no matter how pretty, can look very artificial if plastered with heavy duty makeup. Women who believe that their facial colours need frequent touching up are even more boring. That is the truth for you in basic black and white.

Let's talk: How much should one talk? Sorry, how much 'can' one talk? This dilemma presents itself when some women go on and on about subjects that are relevant and likable: and, others that are not. How one subject can make way for another comes across as a craft that has been mastered by such speakers.

'Osama Bin Laden was a detestable terrorist, and know what, my baby is such a terror I tell you..." Such conversational gems can irritate the hell out of guys who generally tend to talk somewhat less.

Too many problems: Where are some problems born? How is it that just one person seems to be affected by them all? Some women seem to attract all the problems in the world, and incessant whining follows. If the guy fails to respond - or does so inadequately out of sheer boredom - that only leads to more whining. As for men, they certainly find such acts very difficult to handle, preferring, as they do, some wining and dining instead.

Sorry for the interruption, but...: When men indulge in something - such as watching a cricket match that refuses to end - it is important to leave them alone. If a woman is kind and smart enough to allow her man his quota of fun, the latter is unbelievably happy and contented. What torments men is when their female partners come up with punctuation marks. "Stop watching cricket. Please chat with me.' Men hate it. If they smile and agree, that is since they are left without a choice.

With their antics and lifestyles, many men can exasperate women without question. Women are a lot more understanding and accommodating in general. But, some have their own ideas about living which men hate thoroughly. Woe-men: that expression tells the whole story.
