More news →Guzaarish to be a part of Oscar’s script library
It was earlier script of Ashutosh Gowariker’s “Khelen Hum Jee Jaan Se” that got selected for a permanent place in Oscar’s script library and now it’s the turn of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish to be a part of the famous script library of Academy of Motion picture arts and sciences. Guzaarish which deals with the life of a paraplegic played by Hrithik Roshan is based upon mercy killing. Even though the film got good reviews it failed to reach out to every one. Bhansali was applauded by one and all for his directing skills, camerawork received rave reviews as Bhansali was pointed out to the extent that he continued to invest more in the appearance of every frame than in the emotional truth of his characters. One can wonder how come films that bombed at BO are being selected for Oscar’s library. Well, Oscar’s library panel would be best at answering this.
Smoking on ‘Guzaarish’ posters creative requirement: UTV
The co-producer of “Guzaarish” has justified the controversial promotional posters of the film that show Aishwarya Rai smoking a cigarette, saying it is “a creative requirement of the script”. A letter issued by UTV Software Communications Private Limited to the National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE), a tobacco vigilante organisation headquartered in Goa, has stated that Ash’s smoking act on the posters was necessary. “The scene in which the character, played by Aishwarya Rai, is shown smoking was merely a creative requirement for the script,” UTV Software communications limited has said in a letter to an anti-tobacco organization, quoting a spokesperson. Earlier, NOTE had demanded the ‘smoking’ posters be deleted from the promotional campaign. In a written complaint, the organisation’s general secretary Shekhar Salkar had said that the display of the posters showing Aishwarya smoking could inspire her fans to take up the ‘cancer-stick’. “The innumerable posters and banners of ‘Guzaarish’ displayed all over Mumbai shows Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai smoking a cigarette. There would be thousands of other scenes which could be displayed to convey the storyline of the film, yet the producer has chosen this particular one, quiet oblivious to its after-effect,” Salkar said, threatening the producer and actor of the film with a legal suit. In a written response to NOTE’s caution, UTV has also said: “We understand that as a healthcare professional, it is your prerogative to oppose any activity that may promote smoking. However, whilst we appreciate your concern, we would also like to mention that the film `Guzaarish’ is not about smoking and neither does it promote smoking in any manner whatsoever”. Reacting to UTV’s response, Salkar said: “I have seen the film myself. There is a single scene which shows smoking incident. But the poster of the film picks and chooses the same frame in their advertisement campaign. Actually this is clandestine advertisement of a tobacco product. “Where is the issue of showing smoking scene when the movies speaks of euthanasia,” he added. NOTE, has in the past made actors Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi among Bollywood biggies either shell out fines for their violations or dragged them to court for directly or indirectly promoting tobacco on the screen and off it.
Hrithik needs Oscar for ‘Guzaarish’, says sis-in-law
Hrithik Roshan surely gets a lot of pampering from his sister-in-law, jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali who feels he should get an Oscar for his performance in “Guzaarish”. Farah recently posted her picture with Hrithik on micro-blogging site Twitter, and wrote: “With my adorable bro-in-law, who I think needs to win an Oscar for his performance in ‘Guzaarish’.” In “Guzaarish”, Hrithik plays a magician who becomes quadraplegic when a magic trick goes wrong. Though the film has not minted too much money at the box office, Hrithik’s performance has been lauded quite a lot. The film also stars Aishwarya Rai.
Hrithik, Ash set to create magic again with ‘Guzaarish’
The crackling screen chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai was evident once again in Sanjay Leela Bhansaali’s “Guzaarish”, the first look of which was revealed here Thursday. After “Dhoom 2″ and “Jodhaa Akbar”, they seem set to create magic on celluloid once more. The two teamed up for the first time in the 2006 hit action thriller “Dhoom 2″. From critics to audiences, everyone raved about their on-screen chemistry and the two repeated the same in the historical romance “Jodhaa Akbar”. The teaser of the film, co-produced by UTV Motion Pictures and Bhansali, was extremely impressive thanks to brilliant cinematography and interesting music by the director himself. Hrithik, continuing his long hair and beared look from “Kites”, looked attractive in the teaser, while Aishwarya exuded elegance and panache. The look of the film is artistic and creates an old world charm. In the film, Hrithik plays a magician suffering from paraplegia , while Aishwarya will be seen as nurse who is estranged from her husband. Releasing Nov 19, the film will reportedly touch the controversial issue of mercy killing. With the failure of “Saawariya” at the box office, “Guzaarish” might do wonders for the director. At least the first look suggests so.
