More news →Urvashi Rautela got scared of Indra Kumar, avoided him for 3 months
Indra Kumar, director of 'Great Grand Masti' on Thursday said that the lead actress of his film Urvashi Rautela got so scared of him that she ran away and tried to avoid him for three months, before finally agreeing to do the film. "This poor girl (Urvashi). When she came to meet me for the first time I thought there would be no one better than her in the role of a ghost, but a sweet ghost. She looks very good so there could be no one better than her, but then she got scared and ran away. But for the next three months, I kept tracking her." Tushar Hiranandani (writer) was after her and finally we caught her and convinced her that it was not a vulgar film, just a little bit vulgar, not that vulgar as you think and it was a lot more funnier. And then I narrated the script to her and then she agreed to do the film," Kumar said, at the trailer launch of the film. The third instalment of the "Masti" franchise is a sex comedy with a horror backdrop. The leading trio of Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani visits a haunted palace and encounters Urvashi's character of a ghost, leading to strange situations. About not looking like the usual ghosts and looking like a polite ghost, Kumar said, "Actually. But when she gets into the character that time you should see." Kumar has delivered hits like 'Dil', 'Beta', 'Ishq' in the '90s among others and worked with talented actresses like Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Kajol, Kangana Ranaut, Rekha among others in his career. He also praised Urvashi, "I am very proud to say that after a long time, I have worked with an outstanding actress. Fantastic. The three of them (Vivek, Riteish, Aftab) are mind-blowing but I have found the fourth one also as mind-blowing." 'Great Grand Masti' releases on 22 July.

New Delhi: India's annual food inflation based on wholesale prices rose to 19.83 per cent for the week ended on October 19 from 18.65 per cent the week before as prices of essential commodities continued to rule high. As per official data on the wholesale price index released on Thursday, the annual inflation of primary articles rose 15.49 during the week, as against 14.66 per cent for the previous week, while that of fuel rose 4.45 from 3.95 per cent the week before. Following are the average rise in prices of some essential food items over a 52-week period: * Potatoes: 132.74 per cent * Vegetables: 46.70 per cent * Pulses: 41.69 per cent * Onions: 40.75 per cent * Milk: 13.61 per cent * Wheat: 12.66 per cent * Cereals: 13.81 per cent * Rice: 12.95 per cent * Fruits: 10.35 per cent Grocery bills continued to remain high as the worst monsoon in nearly four decades and unexpected floods in some parts of the country pushed up food prices. Last week, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said it was a major challenge for the government to check inflation in the short-to-medium term. According to Mukherjee, to achieve equitable growth, farm output would have to expand at four percent yearly. Agriculture sector grew 2.5 per cent in the first quarter of this fiscal and one percent in the second quarter. Opposition parties had stalled parliamentary proceedings over spiraling food prices, resulting in the adjournment of the Lok Sabha for a day during the winter session this month.
