More news →Jaaved says Salaam Namaste to Hollywood
He was the funny landlord in Salaam Namaste. He tickles people's funny bones with his stand up acts in public and on television. Javed Jaffery has recently completed Richard Dreyfuss' film The Forest. It has been made with Ashwin Kumar (Little Terrorist fame). The film is an interesting story of three people and a child. He has also had a chat with many filmmakers and might be seen in three or four good films very soon. His career in films took a dip, as the offers that came his way after Meri Jung in 1985 were not upto the mark. He impressed the audience with his work in Jajantaram Mamantaram and Boom. His work on television also has been limited and less. Javed is planning to extend his work and wishes to direct a film in the near future. It is evident that the film will be very creative, as he had done the Maggi tomato ketchup commercials by himself with Pankaj Kapoor. That series of ads is still remembered. So we can say that the future is bright for Javed Jafffery.

Hello? Where is Upen Patel in 'Namaste London'?
When Upen Patel was signed for Vipul Shah's 'Namaste London', it made big news for the hot shot newcomer. This was because after '36 China Town', a biggie like this with Akshay Kumar in the lead spelt a good career move en route to consolidation of his position in the world of Bollywood. Surprisingly Upen is still waiting for his moment of limelight in the publicity of 'Namaste London' even as the film's promos have been on air for around a month. While the publicity kick started with specially crafted Chirstmas promo 'Jingle Balle', it was followed by 'Chakna Chakna', a UK bhangra pop number set in a discotheque! Ever since then, the only two stars around which the film's publicity is revolving are Akshay and Katrina who made for a decent pair in 'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye' last year. Slated to release on 9th March, there are still a few weeks to go before the film's promotion catches on full steam. During this period, one waits to see when does Upen finally fit into the scheme of things to make his presence felt in the film.
NAMASTEY LONDON to take best overseas opening?
Will Akshay Kumar get his best overseas opening ever with NAMASTEY LONDON? Industry is thinking aloud about this to be truly possible as his latest film gets a global release. Reasons are aplenty. First and foremost Akshay Kumar has really turned out to be an actor with a Midas touch with majority of his films turning out to be immensely successful at the box office due to his wide mass appeal. In fact even a film like HUMKO DEEWANA KAR GAYE that just about made it to the coverage mark in India was a decent success in UK, hence reaffirming the point that Akshay is one of the hottest star overseas. Secondly, the film has 'London' in it's title and has Akshay playing a Punjabi boy who woos his wife in London hence giving NRI audience yet another opportunity to have their lovable 'punjab da puttar' amidst them in their own land. With the music already being a good success and the film genuinely carrying good pre-release reports, the above two factors only make NAMASTEY LONDON to be a valid candidate for being Akshay's hottest chance of scoring yet another box office victory.

Just around half a decade in the industry and Amitabh Shukla is already making quite a name for himself in the world of film editing. With a superhit 'Krrish' behind him in the year gone by, Amitabh's next big film is Vipul Shah's 'Namastey London' which is slated for a March 09 release. While Akshay Kumar is known for his unofficial editing prowess, Amitabh certainly has a task in hand to look at what works best for the film. In fact this Friday's release 'Anwar' too has Amitabh using his scissors. He has also been entrusted with the responsibility of editing 'Chak De India' which releases later this year. Starting his career as an editor with 'Chalte Chalte', Amitabh has worked on number of reputed projects like 'Paheli', 'Bluffmaster' and 'Kabul Express'.
