More news →I hate experimenting with my looks, says Akshay Khanna
'I hate experimenting with my looks. I don't follow trends for the heck of it. I am very particular about what I wear. Style from me is not a label but and attitude,' says Akshay Khanna. Akshaye Khanna recently did a high fashion photo-shoot with a special stylist of International repute. The stylist was simply ecstatic and raved that Akshay's Looks were truly international. Not surprising, since it's a given fact that Akshaye possesses a certain pedigree that is class apart. He understands high fashion, with a cool attitude to match. Akshaye is known to spend obscene amount on his shoes, if it goes well with his sense of style. Taking a step further, Falguni Thakore will style Akshaye in Abbas Mastan's next film with Booby Deol and Urvashi Sharma. Incidentally Falguni Thakore is behind the styling of Abhishek Bachchan.
"Mallika I Hate You!"
Music Director Sandeep Chowta has composed a song " Mallika I hate you". The song has been written by Vipin Kakkad. The song is for the film Shaadi Se Pehle starring Akshaye Khanna, Mallika Sherwat and Ayesha Takia, directed by Satish Kaushik and produced under the Mukta Arts banner. This song will be released as a single from the album. The finer details of this new marketing and promotion tactic will be revealed in the next two weeks officially. Surprisingly, Sandeep does not know Mallika personally. Sandeep had kept a low profile but has not gone off the music scene completely. He composed music for Telugu hit Super. He has recently completed work on a new album American Pilgrimage for which Sanjay Chitale is the lead vocalist. We may soon see Sandeep producing and directing a musical film with friend Nagarjuna. But that's in the future!
"Have you ever heard an actor say - I hate my co-star?" - Salman Khan
When Salman Khan is in mood to give quotable quotes, there is no one better than him. This is why his interviews make for a great copy and are loved by the readers all over. In one such quirky mood, he was simply holds-no-bar in a recent interview. On being told that his co-stars like Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherjee couldn't stop raving about him, he said he would believe so if the ladies said the same on candid camera. His logic was that stars are required to promote a film and they'll obviously say pleasant things about their co-stars. He also questioned if any actor would say, "I hate my co-star. He's an idiot"? Nevertheless, he concluded that even he was fond of Preity and Rani and the feeling was mutual. Getting nostalgic, he also shared a hitherto unknown fact about his younger days. Apparently he along with Chunkey Pandey and Sajid Khan attended Daisy Irani's acting school for a month but the lady had to shut down the school after some time. Reason? On the first day, the trio were given a two page long speech from 'Pyaasa' which none of them could ever get right. That too even after seeing the film about 10 times. Later she did complain that 'Tum logon ka kya hoga, meri acting school bandh karwah doge.'
I've have become more confident as an actor: Preeti
New Delhi, April 5. (UNI): Six years ago, this beautiful girl with a sweet smile endeared herself to cinegoers with the simplicity of her portrayal of the shy girl next door in Aditya Chopra's 'Mohabbattein'. Despite a dream debut, which saw her share screen space with Superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, Preeti Jhangiani, even six years after the film, has still to establish a niche for herself on the Bollywood firmament while her 'Mohabbattein' co-star Jimmy Shergill is today a known face in filmdom. "It was not that I had disappeared after 'Mohabbattein'. After 'Mohabbattein' I signed no less than 10 films some of them big banner films like 'Awara Paagal Deewana' and 'LoC-Line of Control'. Call it my wrong choice of movies or sheer bad luck but many of these didn't do well," Preeti told UNI here. Infact, Preeti's recent films like 'Chaahat-Ek Nasha' and 'Sukh' failed to set the box office on fire. Her films in the last few years may not have established her as an actor to reckon with in Bollywood but they have nevertheless contributed to Preeti's growth as an actress. "When I did my first role in 'Mohabbattein', I was a shy newcomer. But now, having done more than ten films and assaying a variety of roles, I am more confident as an actor,"Preeti said. Currently, Preeti is all excited about her latest film 'Chand Ke Paar Chalo', produced by Salim (Who earlier made the Rani Mukherjee-starrer 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat') where she is paired opposite newcomer Sahib. "For the first time in my career, I am doing an author-backed role of a woman who undergoes a transformation from a street dancer to a Bollywood actress. It is the story of her journey from being a small Banjaran, who earns her living through dancing in the street, to a 'glamorous star' in the glitzy world of Bollywood. In this sense, it is quite unlike a multistarrer like 'Awara Paagal Diwana' where one tends to get lost in a crowd. Also, while many of my earlier films had me in 'soft' roles, in 'Chand Ke Paar Chalo', I play a woman with shades of Grey,"she said.
I am lucky, says Ayesha Takia
'Working with a versatile and accomplished actor like Naseeruddin Shah is a privilege available to very few actors. Naseer is a perfectionist and I consider myself lucky to be one of his cast,' says actress Ayesha Takia who plays Khushboo, a college girl who is struck by tragedy in an attempt to rescue her friend in stellar-actor-turned-first-time-director Naseeruddin Shah's 'Yun Hota Hota To Kya Hota'. The production team claims that the film has quite an interesting concept and is sure to enthrall the audiences with performances by Paresh Rawal, Konkona Sen. Sharma, Irfaan Khan, Jimmy Sheirgill, Ayesha Takia, Ratna Pathak Shah, Suhasini Mulay and many more. The stars of 'Yun Hota To Kya Hota' are kicked about its unique concept which has four plots running parallel to each other. Various twists and turns in the story make them blend together towards the end. The film has been shot in Mumbai and New York. This film also marks the acting debut of Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah's son Imaad Shah and Ace choreographer Saroj Khan.
I am an Overseas Actor, says SRK
'I am an overseas actor,' says King of Repartee-n-One-Liners Shahrukh Khan. He also happens to be the most bankable star on the Bollywood Box Office. His last film 'Paheli' may have been another failed attempt at going out of his comfort zone (Raj and Rahul kinda cinema), but the second half of 2006 is undoubtedly going to belong to him. For Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna' and Farhan Akhtar's 'Don' are the most eagerly awaited films of the year. Having spent most part of this year traveling all over the world, Badshah Khan is settling down in the rain-n-media-squelch of good-ole-Mumbai. By staking his claim at the overseas territory for 'Don' (worth Rs 12 crore), he becomes the highest paid actor in Bollywood. He knows it well that there are people who are spreading rumors about his alleged fallout with his childhood icon Amitabh Bachchan. He rubbishes such reports by stating that how can he even think of having differences with Big B as no one can come close to him. As for his discomfiture with the growing popularity of Abhishek, all he has to say is that he missed the Junior B when he had to go back to India during the shooting of KANK. In spite of both Abhishek and Hrithik being much younger to him, he still considers them as 'good friends'. A lot has been written about SRK's 'differences' with the mercurial Ram Gopal Verma who recently shelved 'Time Machine' where both were coming together for the first time. It was said that Shahrukh was incensed with RGV for making fun of Karan's films (RGV had stated in an interview that 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum' was his favourite horror film) and for also stating that working with SRK will be like going back to school insinuating about Khan's limited vocabulary as an actor. SRK clears the air by saying that at any given time he receives 10 ' 12 offers, out of which he rejects 10 and accepts only two. And 'Time Machine' is one of those ten that he refused as it was not measuring up to the mark. But the diplomat that he is, SRK is still saying that the SMS he sent to Ramu was: 'We shall tell another story some other time'. MusicMazaa looks forward to SRK rocking the Box Office in the later half of an year that is proving to be the best ever year from business perspective of Bollywood.
