Don’t want to only do remakes – Hrithik Roshan Posted: 14 Jan 2012 03:01 AM PST Hrithik Roshan is working in a remake for the first time, but the Bollywood heartthrob is determined not to continue with the genre post- "Agneepath". As far as comparison goes with the original, he is unperturbed. "I don't want to do remakes only. My premise is that I should not do remakes. Earlier, I didn't even want to hear about it. Now at least I will hear it," Hrtihik told IANS in an interview. Filmmaker Karan Johar decided to give a makeover to his dad Yash Johar's 1990 production venture "Agneepath", in which Amitabh Bachchan gave one of his best performances as Vijay Deenanath Chahuhan and won a national award. Karan roped in Hrihik to play the protagonist and with "Agneepath" ready to hit screens Jan 26, expectations are high and people are likely to compare Hrithik with Amitabh. But he is unruffled and believes that "if you do something in your own way, in your individual way, then it will stand out. People will not compare." The 38-year-old's performance was critically acclaimed in films like "Jodhaa Akbar" and "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" and he even gave blockbusters like "Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai", "Krrish" and "Dhoom 2″. Despite having such an impressive body of work, he says he can't "act". He said: "My premise is that I can only act well if I am in that character. I have to know everything about my character. If I am not living it, then I can't act. If you ask me to imitate or act, I can't do it. Others can because they have that talent. I can't act, so I am bad actor." The new age Vijay Deenanath Chahuhan says shooting for the climax, which is full of blood and gore, was the most difficult part of the movie, helmed by first-time director Karan Malhotra, a former assistant of Karan Johar. "The climax was shot in Diu and throughout I had to fight with Sanjay Dutt with a bare and bleeding body and the shoot went on for 22 days. It ended up being the toughest schedule of my life," said Hrithik. If the "Agneepath" promos are creating curiosity, the new villian in B-town – Sanjay Dutt – has grabbed the limelight with his scary look. Sanjay's look has scared not just the audiences but Hrithik too. "Once during the shoot Sanjay Dutt gave me such a harsh look that I was taken aback. I thought is this Sanjay Dutt? I was like what's happening," he said. "In the beginning audiences would feel that it's impossible and Vijay is nothing. If it would have looked easy, then you would not enjoy the journey." Hrithik was quite sceptical before signing the film, but the strong script convinced him to get on board. "Karan Johar being a friend forced me and asked me to read the script. When I read the script I was shocked. As an actor it touched me. I was defenceless. I had no reason to say no," said the actor who has teamed up with Priyanka Chopra in the movie. – IANS |

Priyadarshan and Deepika Padukone finally patch up Posted: 14 Jan 2012 02:13 AM PST Priyadarshan happens to one of the senior most directors of our film industry who has as many as 83 films to his credit in his 30-year career. On the other hand, Deepika Padukone is comparatively new to the industry but has managed to carve a niche for her own with her hard work, beauty and of course, talent. However, the two have never done a film together owing to the spat they has five years ago when Deepika chose to make her debut with Farah Khan's 'Om Shanti Om' instead of Priyadarshan's project 'Pirates' which was based on the subject of music piracy. The film was supposed to feature Deepika with four other newcomers playing part of a music band. It was only in 2008, that the two broke the ice when SRK persuaded Deepika to feature in the item song for Priyadarshan's 'Billu Barber'. Now, the director is finally set on a project with Deepika. The film is a family comedy with the Ashtavinayak production house. The film has Abhishek Bachchan as the male lead and again, this will be the first time that Priyadarshan will work with Abhishek. Says Priyadarshan happily, "We broke the ice during the song in Billu. Now I've a role just right for her. " "Abhishek and I have been planning projects together for the longest time. We were supposed to do a bio-pic on Chandrashekhar Azad. But who watches historicals any more? I've finally zeroed in on the perfect project for Abhishek. We start shooting in July, " he added. |
Shilpa Shetty makes her first appearance post pregnancy Posted: 14 Jan 2012 02:11 AM PST Bollywood has been sending heartiest wishes to long legged beauty Shilpa Shetty ever since she broke the news of her pregnancy on a social networking site. Since she has a miscarriage last time, she is being extra cautious with this one and made her first public appearance post her pregnancy at the Lohri party of her business partner and good friend Kiran Bawa. Not to mention here that Shilpa looked gorgeous as ever in a traditional anarkali suit sporting her baby bump. Hubby Raj Kundra was by her side all the time and the couple, at present, are busy making preparations for the oncoming addition to their family as well as for the major business expansions they are planning. Shilpa is in her second trimester of pregnancy but she looked very comfortable and made no attempt to hide her bump with the dupatta, unlike Aishwarya who always made it sure to cover her baby bump during her pregnancy. Check out Shilpa Shetty exuding radiance at the Lohri celebrations…. |
Rajkumar Santoshi to pair up Abhay Deol and Sonam Kapoor Posted: 14 Jan 2012 02:09 AM PST Rajkumar Santoshi is set to start a film with the novel pairing of Abhay Deol and Sonam Kapoor. The film will be a romantic comedy and Santoshi maintains that it has in no way any links with his superhit 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' which starred Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. The film goes on floors from Feb 1. Giving in more details about the film, Santoshi says, "It's in the same creative space as my Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. Abhay and Sonam would be captured in a comedy of errors like Ranbir and Katrina, though this is a completely different script and has no bearing on Ajab Prem…" Santoshi goes a long way in bonding with the lead actors' parents. While he shares a great rapport with Anil Kapoor since 'Lajja', his association with the Deola also goes a long way back. The film will be produced by Santoshi and the cinematography will be done by the ace-cameraman Ravi K Chandran. |
Katrina Kaif to pair up with Rajnikanth for a Tamil flick Posted: 14 Jan 2012 02:06 AM PST If things turn out as planned, cine lovers down South would get to see the unique pairing of South superstar Rajnikanth with Bollywood's reigning beauty Katrina Kaif in the forthcoming flick 'Kochadaiyaan'. The film will be directed by Rajnikanth's daughter Saundarya and the movie will have Rajni sir play the role of a long-haired king who is a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva. Katrina will play the king's love interest and the film will also have the two shoot for a romantic number composed by music maestro A.R.Rahman. The film will be made in 3D using the performance capturing technology used by James Cameron in the Hollywood blockbuster Avatar. South is not a new arena for Kaif who has already worked in two Telugu films (Malliswari and Allari Pidugu) and a Malayalam movie (Balaram Vs Taradas). Kochadaiyaan will be her first Tamil film though, of course, only if she can manage to squeeze out some dates from the diaries of three Khans with whom she is currently busy with!! |
