More news →NO SMOKING shocks viewers
Promos of SAAWARIYA and OM SHANTI OM may be the talk of the town but the select few who have got a chance to catch the promo of NO SMOKING continue to be in a state of shock. The first look of NO SMOKING has turned out to be absolute hard hitting and creates an impact which doesn't fail to jolt a viewer. Focused entirely on the character of John Abraham who is first unwilling to quit smoking and later encounters number of well wishers who want him to kick the cigarette packet, NO SMOKING grips your attention from the first till the last frame. Anurag Kashyap gets into a different territory altogether after BLACK FRIDAY and opens the cards with John facing the camera in bare torso. After introducing numerous characters in the film which are enacted by Ayesha Takia, Ranvir Shorey, Paresh Rawal and Jessy Randhawa, he catches you unaware during the ending moments of the promo. It is at this point where he moves the film to snow filled locations in Russian Federation with trance music playing in the background. With an international feel to it's look and an offbeat subject for a story, NO SMOKING should certainly be igniting a lot of heat in days to follow as it gets readied for it's mid-October release.
No Kamal for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
South film director Vayalar Madhav had earlier planned to have Kamal Hassan to play the role of eunuch in his movie "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". But had to back out because of Kamal's over-exposed star image. The role was of Kakathiya, the head of eunuchs, who is more than 200 years old and has been doing research on how to transform eunuchs into normal human beings. Madhav has finally decided to take Tinnu Anand for the role due to his less starry image and great performance. The film is in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu. Other actors in the movie are Divya Dutta, Neha Pendse and Suhasini Mulay. It has been reported that there were over 300 eunuchs from Mumbai, Rajasthan, Chennai and Hyderabad visiting the sets of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and also performed pujas and other rituals in the movie.

No Romantic Numbers in Golmaal
'We don't have any romantic numbers,' said 'Golmaal-Fun Unlimited' director Rohit Shetty at the music release function of his second film after 'Zameen' at a star studded event at Fame Multiplex in Malad. 'It was a great help from music directors Vishal and Shekhar, who kept in mind the youth while making the music. The album has a lot of foot tapping and peppy numbers along with a track with the late 50's touch. All together it is quite balanced music, for everyone,' he added. Kajol who is basking in the glory of a terrific 'Fanaa' was the chief guest at the occasion. The music was first released at the Radiocity Radio Station (91 FM), followed by launch at Fame Multiplex, where the film promos were screened. 'Golmaal ' Fun Unlimited' revolves around the lives of Gopal (Ajay Devgan), Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor), Mahadev (Arshad Warsi) and Laxmi (Sharman Joshi) ' 4 guys bound together by their child like notoriety, aimlessness and petty business of conning people for fun and money. Vishal - Shekhar, who had previously composed music for hits like Salaam Namaste, Bluffmaster, Taxi No. 9211, and many more chart bursting numbers have composed music of 'Golmaal - Fun Unlimited'. The title song of the film, Golmaal, is sung by Shaan, KK and Vishal Dadlani. It is also played as background score throughout the film. The album also has four remixes done by Akbar Sami.
'No Entry' director hasn't seen LRM
Believe it or not but Anees Bazmee, director of last year's biggest hit 'No Entry', is yet to watch 'Lage Raho Munnabhai', the biggest superhit and second highest grosser [so far] after 'Krrish' of 2006. Currently busy in wrapping up the schedule of 'Welcome', a Firoz Nadiadwala film, he is so tied up in his work for last one year that he has barely managed to catch on any flicks coming to theatres. This is not all as he wants to catch up with LRM but is struggling to find out time for that. On quizzed if he felt 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' is the biggest hit this year after his 'No Entry' last year, he said, "Yes, I have heard from one and all that the film is awesome but haven't been able to see it. I know it's not right since it is so much being talked about and as a film maker I should be watching good flicks like LRM, but blame it on my hectic schedules. The day I get a breather, I am certainly going to catch up on the film."
