"Devadasu" is 100 Days old
Y.V.S. Chowdary's film "Devadasu" has successfully completed 100 days. On this occasion a press conference was organized and Y.V.S. Chowdhary, the Producer and Director of the film spoke about the film. "I am very happy that this film besides tough competition from many big films has completed 100 days. This is a very risky project having no star cast and totally dependent on the story line-up and songs. I believe that the story, music and other technical aspects are the foundation for a film and audience have proved this once again. Initially, the film got good response but subsequently due to release of some good films, collections have come down. As it got all the essentials of a good film, it stood stubborn and completed 100 days. I thank the audience for their belief that my films will be entertaining and that is the main reason for this success. We are planning to organize the centenary celebrations in a big way as it is like a festival to the unit members."

An old zeal comes handy
You really do not know when some of the skills and naughty tricks learned and practiced during the growing up teenage years turn up later on to your advantage. Imran Khan became a great beneficiary of having mastered such a skill during his boarding school days. For a scene for the forthcoming thriller 'Kidnap' which is Imran's second film and one in which he plays a role with negative shades, he had to use a knife and poke it between Minissha Lamba's fingers. For the long shots, the director Sanjay Gadhvi allowed a fake knife to be used, but when it came to close-ups a real knife was introduced as the film maker was adamant on perfection in visuals. There started the ordeal for Minissha as she became extremely terrified of getting hurt. Imran pacified her and said that if he does it fast continuously with even a real knife, nothing will happen to her as he is a master in doing it. His words proved to be true and he did the shots easily and perfectly surprising everyone and to the great relief of the young leading lady. Imran's hand still has the marks caused due to constant practice to master this dangerous knife trick.
