More news →Preeti-Pravin Bank on With Luv Tumhara
Preeti Jhangiani, Anupama Verma and Praveen Dabas. Now that doesn't make a smashing cast of a Bollywood film. But then the makers of 'With Luv Tumhara' are claiming that their film is different and the shooting in the picturesque of Manali is different from anything seen before. The film is slated for a release on November 17th. Preeti Jhangiani had a smashing start with 'Chui Mui Si Ladki Hai' video for Rajshri Music more than a decade ago. She consolidated her position with a debut in Aditya Chopra's 'Mohabbatein' opposite Jimmy Sheirgill. She is a decent actress but the skin show in a B grade non-starter 'Chahat' didn't do anything to give a positive vive to her image. Pravin Dabas on the other hand is riding high on the success of 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' where he essayed his role competently. And in spite of veterans like Anupam Kher and Boman Irani, he left a mark. It remains to be seen if 'With Luv Tumhara' takes the careers of Praveen and Preeti ahead or will it be a wasted effort'.
My role in 'Bank-Chor' unlike stereotypical comedian: Kapil Sharma
Stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma, who is ready to make a film debut with Yash Raj Films' (YRF) "Bank-Chor", says his role in the movie defies the stereotypical portrayal of a comedian. The 32-year-old has signed a three-film contract with YRF. "Bank-Chor" will be produced under the production banner's Youth Films Division Y-Films, which made "Mere Dad Ki Maruti". "It’s a privilege and a dream to be part of the YRF family and have my launch with their Youth Films Studio, Y-Films. The script is the most exciting part since it's the kind of role that's very unlike the stereotype of a comedian or what people could typecast me as," Kapil said in a statement. He says that he has already started "working on the nuances of the character". "I've always loved and watched thrillers and this is a thriller comedy, so it's even better," said the star comedian, who has become a rage courtesy his hit chat show "Comedy Nights With Kapil". He is excited about turning over a new leaf with the movie. "I’ve done serious theatre for years before comedy. Finally with YRF’s vision, I’ll get to do this again after a 12-year break and this script has equal scope of comedy. It’s sure to surprise my fans," he said. "Bank-Chor", directed by Bumpy and produced by Ashish Patil, is a comic caper that tells the story of three people who pick a wrong day to rob a bank. What happens when the trio is inadvertently caught in a crossfire of cops, industrialists and corrupt politicians, forms the rest of the story.
