| I’ve got more than I expected – Vidya Balan Posted: 11 Mar 2012 11:07 AM PDT
 Vidya Balan, who won the best actress National award for her bold and beautiful performance in "The Dirty Picture", says she has achieved a lot more than she ever expected to in her seven-year Bollywood career. "I am feeling very good. Actually, I am speechless to tell how wonderful and happy I am feeling," the 33-year-old said here at an event. "I always thought of receiving at least one National award in my career. I am just seven years old in the industry and I already have a National award to my credit. As I said, I have got much more than I had expected. I am feeling very content," she added. Vidya forayed into Bollywood in 2005 with "Parineeta" and received the Filmfare award for best female debut for her role as Lolita. The year 2011 proved to be splendid for the actress, whose "No One Killed Jessica" and "The Dirty Picture" received accolades. Vidya's latest "Kahaani" is also fetching the actress rave reviews for her performance as a pregnant woman in search of her missing husband. – IANS  |
| Imran Khan finalised for ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai 2′ Posted: 11 Mar 2012 11:04 AM PDT
 The movie was to feature Shahid Kapoor earlier but now Imran has been finalised for it. "Talks were on with Shahid but we have decided on Imran now. Imran loved the script, and we are very gung-ho about this project. The audience will get to see a different Imran," Girish Johar, head of acquisition and distribution, Balaji Motion Pictures, told IANS. In the film, Akshay will be seen as underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, and Imran will play his rival Aslam. The project will be directed by Milan Luthria, who is basking in the success of "The Dirty Picture". The prequel – "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai" – had Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi together on screen. Their mentor-turned-rival chemistry as Sultan Mirza and Shoaib, respectively, was appreciated. Producers are hoping that the Akshay-Imran pairing works wonders for the sequel too. – IANS  |
| Action is easy, comedy toughest – Akshay Kumar Posted: 11 Mar 2012 11:00 AM PDT
 He has proved to be a 'khiladi' of both genres – action and comedy. But kicking and boxing in front of the camera is far easier than making the audience laugh, says Bollywood star Akshay Kumar. "Action is easy, it is very easy. Comedy is difficult," Akshay told IANS in a chat on the sets of Neeraj Pandey's "Special Chabbis". After a shot, the 44-year-old relaxed in the balcony of an old-structured house in Connaught Place here. "You know…you can kick your legs, punch someone very easily and do action. In fact, action can even look great through camerawork. Also, for an emotional scene, you can put glycerine in the eyes and make any artist cry, and the viewers think he is crying, so people also start crying," said the actor, looking fit and smart in trousers, a shirt and sleeveless sweater. "But to make someone laugh, you have to work very hard. It's very difficult to make people laugh. So comedy is tough…the toughest," he added. Akshay became the undisputed action star of Hindi films with projects like "Khiladi", "Sabse Bada Khiladi", "Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi", "International Khiladi", "Waqt Hamara Hai" and "Mohra". In 2000, he tried his comic timing in the hit movie "Hera Pheri". It was followed by others like "Garam Masala", "Phir Hera Pheri", "Bhagam Bhaag", "Welcome", "Singh Is Kinng", "Housefull" and "Tees Maar Khan". "Nothing has changed about comedy. People enjoy what you give from the heart. Don't try and go by the trend. Go with your heart and mind…if you do your work with sincerity, it will always work," said the actor who has done about 100 films in his 25-year-old career. "The audience only enjoys an entertaining film. See, the black and white film 'The Artist' is the talk of the town. Who knew that a black and white silent film would come in 2012 and do so well and take away the Oscar? "So if you make a film with your head and heart, it will always have a connect with the audience," said Akshay, who is now awaiting for the sequel of Sajid Khan's 2010 comic film "Housefull" to hit the theatres April 5. "Housefull 2″ has been subtitled "The Dirty Dozen", thanks to the number of artists in it. Apart from Akshay, it has Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade and John Abraham, with Jacqueline Fernandez, Asin Thottumkal, Shazahn Padamsee and Zarine Khan in the cast. They are joined by senior actors like Mithun Chakraborty, Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor and Boman Irani to complete the dirty dozen. Unlike most stars who find it cumbersome to work with so many actors, Akshay says the experience was unmatched. "Multi-starrers are fun to work on. There are so many actors, so many people that you end up laughing and giggling with even during the take. The director gets fed up and says cut, but somebody or the other keeps goofing up or saying something wrong," he said. "A director needs to have patience enough to put up with all of this. It's a very difficult job to do. But Sajid does it well. Sajid is a mad man, and only he can handle this," he added. – IANS  |
| First look launch of ‘Vicky Donor’ Posted: 11 Mar 2012 06:04 AM PDT
   Talking at the launch of the first look of his film, John also commented on the importance of sperm donation. "I would donate my sperm for a social cause. There are industrialists, police officers, people from army donating sperm because they want to keep their sperm aside because they are not sure whether they will be back from their battle. I would definitely do it," he said. Meanwhile, John, who was detained Friday after a court rejected an appeal against his conviction for injuring two people while riding a motorcycle in 2006, is out on bail. Bandra additional chief metropolitan magistrate S.V. Kulkarni had convicted Abraham in 2010 for injuring two youths – Tanmay Majhi (19) and Shyam Kasbe (22) when his motorcycle collided with their bicycle in Khar in northwest Mumbai in April 2006. John had taken the responsibility of taking the two victims to a hospital.  |

 Sonam looked charming as ever at the function. She had been styled by Tanya Ghavri who made just the right use of accessories like golden Alexander McQueen open toe flats, pearl-encrusted black vintage clutch by Sonam's mother Sunita Kapoor, a shoulder dusting conical earrings, and twin leaf design cuffs were by the ace jewelry designer Suhani Pittie. Also present were Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Kashyap from the Bollywood fraternity. Catch a few stills from the event…….  |
