Shah Rukh did not edit me out: Annu Kapoor

Posted: 21 Mar 2013 07:21 AM PDT

Annu Kapoor, who recently won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor for his quirky portrayal of a Dr Chaddha in 'Vicky Donor', is a happy man today. Finally, his contribution in the film has been acknowledged. And he says,"I am humbled by the award and accept it with lot of graciousness."

The actor, who has hardly found a mention in the award speeches by the filmmakers at various events, says that although it initially bothered him, he has no bitterness for anyone anymore.

Talking about award functions, Kapoor mentions how some time back his acceptance speech was deleted in the final edit when the event was telecast. But, not all experiences were similar.

He says, "When Shah Rukh asked me to say something after I accepted the Filmfare Award, I told him about the incident. He promised not to clip my speech and when it was televised."

SRK kept his word and a grateful Kapoor messaged him in gratitude.

Vicky Donor was a milestone in Kapoor's career with most admitting that it was his role that made the film so popular. Kapoor laughs and says, "Not many times it has happened in Indian cinema that an actor has imitated a character actor at award functions," referring to Shahid Kapoor's Dr Chaddha gig.

When asked him if the star-struck film industry has finally started to take him seriously, he says, "Things are changing. But talent and success still don't go hand in hand here."

This is not Kapoor's first brush with the National Awards, the actor-director-singer won the Best Director - V Shantaram Award for Abhay. He says, "I am totally in mood to direct another film. I will start working on a script soon."

Sanjay Gupta clarifies on the Kangana Ranaut controvers​y

Posted: 21 Mar 2013 07:17 AM PDT


The publicity of the keenly awaited 'Shootout At Wadala' is at its peak, as the film makes it to the news almost every day for something or the other.
Following the massive launch of Priyanka Chopra's dance track 'Babli Badmaash' and the announcement about the sensational Sunny Leone playing a walk-on part in a song sequence ('Laila') there were reports to suggest that Kangana Ranaut was miffed at being kept out of the film's publicity.
There is news that Kangana was to be a part of the signature 'Aala Re Aala' track but couldn't do it. Sophie Choudry now features opposite John Abraham in the soon-to-release song.
Clarifies Sanjay Gupta, "Kangana is my film's heroine and there is no reason for her to be upset. She has a full-fledged role in the film. When Katrina did Chikni Chameli it didn't mean that Priyanka was upset. Likewise Kareena doing Fevicol was not reason for Sonakshi to be upset. I don't think that we should see more than what meets the eye."
Kangana is currently shooting for another film in Bhopal. 'Shootout At Wadala' releases worldwide on May 1.
