Aamir Khan experiences police work in real after sunset!


Aamir Khan, who is commonly known as Bollywood’s perfectionist, has left no stone unturned to fit completely into the role of a policeman for his upcoming crime/thriller Talaash.
Seemingly, Aamir interacted with Policeman who were on patrol in the night to know more about their work after sundown. He went through this trouble just so that he could give the perfect shots for Talaash.
Aamir will be seen as inspector Shekhawat, and in the film most of the shooting has taken place after sunset.
A source told, “Almost all of the major scenes have been shot during the night. Since the shooting would take place after sunset, there would be cops on the sets. Aamir often chatted with them asking details about their work and inquiring about the places that they would visit often.”
Another source told, “Night seems to be a key player in the film’s story. The idea of making this movie had also stemmed from an incident involving cops that was witnessed by Zoya and Reema who then wrote this project.”
Talaash is directed by Reema Kagti and also stars Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee. The movie will hit screens on the 30 of this month.

Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla will part of Uttar Pradesh based ‘Gulab Gang’!

Madhuri Dixit was firstly cast as the lead actress in Gulab Gang, but since the script demanded another powerful actress, Anubhav Sinha decided to cast Juhi Chawla too.
Can it get any better? Madhuri and Juhi, both of them were top actresses in the late 80s and 90s but they never shared screen space together. And possibly Anubhav Sinha has already got it right, with directing both the powerful performers in Gulab Gang. Anubhav thought of Juhi when he watched Son Of Sardar, for which Juhi has been highly praised for her splendid acting.
Anubhav was in high regard of both the female leads while talking to the media. He told, “Gulab Gang is about two iconic female characters. I couldn’t have pulled off a better cast than the two most iconic female stars, Madhuri and Juhi, together for the first time on Indian screen.”
According to Anubhav, the movie is an action-drama with two women at loggerheads. And that’s why he needed two actresses who could give their best performances.
Madhuri Dixit has already started working for the movie, she is busy selecting her costumes and getting the right look for the role. Juhi is very thrilled about the movie. The movie also stars actress Mahie Gill and Shilpa Shukla, who are also powerhouses of acting.
Gulab Gang is based on a true incident and an all-female gang called ‘Gulabi Gang’ from Uttar Pradesh’s Bundelkhand region. The gang stands for women suffering from domestic violence and other social problems.

Aamir Khan doesn’t believe in BO figures for film success!

The ’3 Idiots’ star thinks that box office numbers can be confusing. He believes that the posh figures aren’t a great way to decide how well a movie is made or liked by its viewers. This view seems to contradict the popular thinking that Rs 100 crore is the new definition of a box office success.
Though three of his movies have earned over Rs 100 crores and been touted major box office hits, the actor refuses to believe in the number game. Aamir khan told that a lot of people go watch a movie because a particular actor is starring in it. In his words “…success means when we as creative team sit together to watch a movie before it releases… feel that we have succeeded in making what we set out to do.” He told that if the team feels that they’ve come close to doing it, it’s the first sign of success. And that he is the last person to look at figures. He only reflects on them later to estimate how well a movie of his was received.  He tells that numbers are only one of the many ways to understand how well a film does, and not necessarily the most important one.
The actor stresses the importance of giving credit to the whole team for the success of a movie. He tells ‘Film making is a team effort…its tough’. And that every member of the film-making crew, right from the director to the sound and set engineers play an important role.
This multitalented actor is without doubt a humble one. We are looking forward to seeing how his next film ‘Talaash’ fares on the box office and with the spectators.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan is the first film to list in U.S top 10 big grossers!

Last weekend the final Yash Chopra directorial endeavor entered the U.S top 10 at number 8, grossing $1.3 million. This is a rare thing for a bollywood film in BO rankings usually dominated by American ones.
The film has earned over £4.7m overseas making it the highest opening Bollywood movie ever in the US, UK, Australia and the Middle East. The three hour long film has made the charts along with the Hollywood biggies like the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn at the number one spot, 007 Bond Movie Skyfall at number two, Spielberg’s Lincoln at the third spot, Disney’s Wreck-It-Ralph at fourth and Flight starring Denzel Washington at fifth.
The huge openings have been attributed to the loyal bollywood fans in the US. Jeff Bock, the exhibitor relations expert noted that ‘It is very rare for a Bollywood movie to make Top 10”. He also told that ‘…almost every week there is a new Bollywood film in limited release, and every now and then  they do open in the top 10”.
This movie was cinema legend, Yash Chopra’s, last. The man was really praised for his directorial skills and screen-writing. He will absolutely be missed in the bollywood fraternity as well as the masses. The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh even went far as to title the late director as “an icon of Indian Cinema” and told that he would be remembered by millions.

My kids are very understanding for lock lips with Katrina: Shahrukh Khan


Shahrukh Khan’s on screen kiss with Katrina Kaif in their latest movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan, never seems to come to a full stop. After the media and fans making a big issue about it, it’s now SRK’s kids who talk about their reaction on seeing their dad lock lips with the beautiful Katrina.
Shahrukh Khan told, both Aryan and Suhana are very understanding and are aware of the fact that their dad is an actor and has to do things on screen to justify his roles.
“For me the film is more than just the kissing scene, and I am an actor and that’s what I do for a living. Not only my kids, (but also) people around here (media), everyone knows that I am an actor. So there is no awkwardness or intense reaction to what I do on screen,” SRK said. The megastar was at the launch of his business project KidZania, in Mumbai.
In Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Shahrukh Khan has kissed his leading lady for the first time in his career as an actor.
SRK revealed, “I had a couple of rules actually – that I won’t ride a horse and I won’t kiss. Both are cumbersome. I don’t know how to do both on screen.”
“I will be very honest. Adi ( Aditya Chopra), Yash ji and Katrina, and I say this with all humility and thankfulness to them, that they knew I was awkward, I had issues and I am a very easy actor to work with. They are like my family and they said, ‘You don’t have to do this’ and then they got together and they forced me and then even paid me for it.”
It is said that the scene that was seen on screen was just a fleeting moment of lip-locking. Apparently, its was a long passionate kiss between SRK and Katrina; however, King Khan requested Aditya Chopra to cut it down.
Shahrukh also shared his experience about working with Katrina Kaif, one of the most sought-after stars of Bollywood.
He told, “I have never rehearsed for the song. But I saw Katrina rehearse for #IshqShaava and realized how rehearsals are important.”

Sonakshi Sinha has no animosity with Farah Khan!


Ever since the filming of Joker, all wasn’t going very well between the makers of the movie, Farah Khan-Shirish Kunder and the lead pair, Akshay Kumar-Sonakshi Sinha. Things were pretty clear too, when the stars were not seen actively promoting the movie.
At a new event, Farah, hinting at the past, told that no matter what, the lead stars of any movie should by the film and that she will work with those who stand by the movie.
But, Sonakshi clearing the air, tells, “I was part of promotions. It is wrong to point fingers that I have not promoted the film. I know things are being written about me as well. I don’t think the result of the box office changes the equation between two people. Farah is very cordial to me, she is very nice to me there is no animosity with her.”
“I have known Farah from before I interacted with Shirish when I signed the film. The working experience with Shirish was good. With Farah it is like an elder sister, it was wonderful to work with her when she was choreographing. She is jovial, full of life,” she told.
‘Joker’, a fantasy movie, opened to a very poor start and bombed big time at the box office. However, Sonakshi is not discouraged with the film’s failure. “I think success and failure are part of every profession, everyone goes through it. ‘Joker’ was a risk that everyone took. It did not do well, audience did not accept it, it is ok. It happens,” Sonakshi told.

Alia Bhatt is a south Indian?






Alia Bhatt, has been the talk of bollywood ever since her debut movie Student Of The Year, which was directed and produced by Karan Johar. Well Alia has surely had a dream start in the film industry as the cutie has already bagged her next movie. Alia Bhatt will next be seen in ’2 states’ opposite Arjun Kapoor.
A lot will be expected from the film as its being co-produced by Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala. Karan wanted to make the declaration of Alia being in ’2 States’ only after SOTY released. Since SOTY is still doing so well, and Sajid loved Alia’s acting capabilities, both Karan and Sajid think that she is perfect for the role.
Seemingly, Karan and his team have already started preparing the young actress for her character in the film. ’2 States’ will be directed by Abhishek Verman, who is also making his debut as a director. Abhishek has previously worked as a creative director on Karan’s movie Student Of the Year.
’2 states’ will only go on floors once Arjun Kapoor is done with YRF’s Aurangazeb.2
Like in the novel, Arjun Kapoor will be seen as a Punjabi boy, while Alia Bhatt gets to play a beautiful and a clever South Indian girl.
