Now Eesha Koppikhar returns with Ram Gopal Varma's SHABRI
Everyone talks about getting into the skin of the character to get a more realistic performance. Eesha Koppikhar takes the involvement to the next level in that case! For Ram Gopal Varma's Shabri, it wasn't just the look that Eesha worked on. During the shoots of the film Eesha got so involved that she did things in real life which nobody can think of. Let's begin with her look. To look like a slum girl, Eesha didn't wax her body, didn't pluck eyebrows, didn't use any beauty products and, in fact, did not even comb her hair! On one incident, RGV production was shooting in a slum area of Mumbai and during the evening snacks break, when a spot boy brought snacks for Eesha, unmindfully, instead of going to her make-up van to eat, she sat near a dustbin to eat like a street beggars! She didn't realize that next to her was a dumping ground. It was only when her make-up boy came and said "Didi, aap yaahan kyun baithi hain? Make up van mein chaliye," that she realized where she was sitting. "I was so engrossed in my character that I didn't even realize what I was doing. If my make-up boy hadn't made me realize that I was sitting beside a dustbin I would have had my snacks there," says Eesha. It is also heard that it took a couple of hours to put make-up on her body and face. She even lost weight and changed her walking style also. Of course it got too much for her and after the shooting; Eesha fell sick and was on complete bed rest.

Shraddha hopes to impress Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy with her vocals
Actress Shraddha Kapoor's soothing voice in songs like "Galliyan" and the recent "Bezubaan Phir Se" has been well appreciated by listeners and now she hopes to please talented musical trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy with her singing skills in "Rock On 2". "I just enjoy singing and I'm not professionally trained. But I just love singing. And I'm hoping that with these classes my singing improves further," Shraddha, who is undergoing voice modulation classes to fine-tune her voice for the film, said at the cover launch of Hello magazine starring her. "I'll be recording with Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and I hope that while recording, they are just smiling that I have taken good training for my voice. I'm just hoping that they are happy with my voice." Shraddha will be paired opposite actor-singer-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar in the film. About her experience of working and singing with him, she said: "It was a great experience. This is the first time I've rehearsed with him. I have been very excited to work with Farhan Akhtar and finally I'm getting the opportunity to work with him. Looking forward to record with him." Though Shraddha's rendition of "Galliyan" from "Ek Villian" and "Bezubaan Phir Se" from "ABCD 2" connected instantly with the audiences, they were not originals considering the male versions of the songs which were released first and later became chartbusters. And Shraddha's versions were released towards the later stages of promotions. So with "Rock On 2", she will definitely be looking for her version to be an exclusive one, preferably a duet with Farhan.
Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy ROCK ON To Dizzy Heights
It was a magnificent live performance to cherish. Infinity Mall, Andheri danced to the beats of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy as the talented trio put on a wonderful performance to mark the music launch of their forthcoming film 'Rock On' last night. The event also marked the debut of Farhan Akhtar on stage. Of the nine songs in the album, Farhan Akhtar has sung five. The director of the film Abhishek Kapoor is pretty ecstatic with things and says, "Everyday of recording the music was an exploration into something fresh, radical and original. Our music directors Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy took to the script like fish to water and gave it a powerhouse soundtrack straight from the heart. Working with Javed Saab was a complete revelation. He has a unique way with words - measuring them for their texture and fragrance. All in all, I had a blast making the film and am sure it'll have the same effect on you. Rock On!" The producer of the film Ritesh Sidhwani also shares the joy. "Rock On will be a cult film. The experience of creating music for this film has been fascinating and exhilarating...and when you have a team like Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy and Javed saab, we really didn't have too worry much. We've worked with them earlier and so the process of creating music was all the more fun". "Rock On is a youth oriented film, so the music needed a distinct sound, keeping in mind contemporary appeal along with melodious tracks, which these music maestros have woven together effortlessly." 'Rock On' is a refreshing tale of four friends who have music in their souls and thirst to put together a band. But events in their lives are not so refreshing and are forced to abandon their desire. But then 'time the weary traveler' metes out justice by bringing them together with the stuff that dreams are made of. Apart from Farhan Akhtar, the film also features Prachi Desai, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Shahana Goswami and Luke Kenny. Since the film needs that much of authenticity, the actors who play the musicians were actually trained by professionals to bring out the 'believable' factor. Purab Kohli trained with Lindsay D'Mello on drums, Arjun Rampal trained with Chandresh from the band 'Dream out Loud', Luke Kenny worked with Loy and Farhan trained with Shankar for vocals and Ehsaan for rhythm guitar. Cinematography for the film is by Jason West, production design by Shashank Tere and costumes by Niharika Khan. The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment and presented with Big Pictures. The film will hit movie theaters on the 29th of August worldwide. Rock On's album is by BIG MUSIC and was unveiled last night by Javed Akhtar and along with Big Music representative Kulmeet Makkar.
