More news →Where has Sadashiv Amrapurkar vanished?
A popular villain since the release of ARDH SATYA and creating a place for himself in history books after SADAK, Sadashiv Amrapurkar was once a hot property in Bollywood. With number of villainous and comic roles under his belt, he was the closest competitor that the likes of Kadar Khan and Anupam Kher once had. But over the years, especially in the 21st century, the man has more or less vanished from the big screen. He is hardly making any notable appearances and probably the last time when he was seen in a film was KOI MERE DIL MEIN HAI [2005] which starred Priyanshu Chatterjee, Rakesh Bapat, Dia Mirza and Neha. Undoubtedly a talented actor, he was unfortunately slotted in particular kind of roles, especially when it came to comedy (the route that he took more often than being a villain) towards the later stage of his career. Slowly, he started fading away from the scene and today is completely missing from the action. One wonders if a film maker would remember the man again and rope him in for a role that would be worthy enough for his comeback. We are waiting!
Will Priyanshu hit back again?
Years back a handsome young man was noticed for his intense'n'emotional performance in a small love story called 'Tum Bin'. The man was Priyanshu Chatterjee and he made an instant impact as a guilt ridden person who is aiming for redemption after accidentally killing another man. The film was a reasonable success (and a big musical hit) in spite of being pitted against 'Aks' [which incidentally flopped]. The carpet was laid down for Priyanshu and it seemed that he would fill in the slot for one of the newest entrants to make a mark. There was a lull for some period before the 'Tum Bin' team returned with 'Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahi Dekha Hai'. Though Priyanshu won hearts yet again in this frothy entertainer, the film flopped. Things still didn't look much bad for Priyanshu though as he got an opportunity to work in some high profile films like 'Dil Ka Rishta' [Aishwarya Rai] and 'Pinjar' [Urmila Matondkar]. Unfortunately none of them worked with his sole hero act in suspense thriller 'Woh' failing to find any audience. Solace came from unexpected corners with 'Julie' turning into a runaway success by toppling the might of Rajiv Rai's 'Asambhav'. But Priyanshu could hardly capitalize on the film's success as 'Madhoshi' [Bipasha Basu] and 'Koi Mere Dil Mein Hai' followed later and delivered a turkey at the box office. The good part though was that for each of the films, he hardly got flak for his performance. But in the world driven by box office success, Priyanshu was no more a name to count upon. This was one of the reasons why his 'Film Star' didn't even get a theatrical release and came straight on DVDs. This weeks sees the (probable) theatrical release of Utthan (which surprisingly has already come on DVDs) and the fate of the film is quite clear already considering the movies flopping left, right and center in the last few weeks. With no movies in the pipeline with an exception of a stray 'Main Rony Aur Jony', Priyanshu is indeed having a tough time. One just hopes (and prays) that Priyanshu finally finds his bearings in the industry and gets picked up by a reputed production house that realizes his true potential and brings him back into the limelight. After all he is a certainly not a bad actor to get lost in oblivion!
Neha sizzles in 'Aatma'
Pretty girl-next-door Neha, who made her Bollywood debut with Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 'Kareeb', is all set to be seen in a hot'n'sizzling number in Ramsay brothers' 'Aatma'! The girl who has mainly played sweet'n'innocent roles in most of her flicks so far has shed her inhibitions to appear in a bedroom number 'Bahon Mein Chhuppa Le Mujhe' where she gets cosy with the film's lead hero Kapil Jhaveri. The song moves from a living room to a kitchen to a swimming pool to finally a bedroom and in each of the locations, the character played by Neha searches for a new way to get Kapil interested in the proceedings. 'Aatma' is currently her only film in her hand with 'Koi Mere Dil Mein Hai' being her last release. Deepak Ramsay is the director of both the flicks.
