I was nervous about chemistry with Abhay in 'One By Two': Preeti Desai
Actress Preeti Desai, who will share screen space with boyfriend, Abhay Deol, for the first time in One By Two, says she was intially nervous regarding her chemistry with the actor-producer in the movie. "Initially I was nervous as I was thinking how my chemistry will appear with Abhay in the film," the model-turned-actress said here in an interview. "It is my first film with him but it was a smooth chemistry between us. We were very professional while working in the film," she added. However, she feels that it is the audience that will decide their pairing in the film after watching it. "The audience will decide when they watch the film," she said. "One By Two" is a love story and revolves around a couple who meet each other while living in Mumbai. Both are fed up with their lives and desperately want their situation to change. Abhay says the film is a mix of his earlier films, "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" and "Socha Na Tha", that talked about romance, philoshpy and adventure. "'One by Two' is not a typically romantic comedy. There is common notion about all of us that we tend to put a film in a particular box so that we can understand which genre the film belongs to, so we have put this film in the rom-com box but it is not a typical romantic comedy," Abhay said in the interview. "It (The film) is romantic and philosphical as much as 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. I must say "One By Two" is a mix of 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' and 'Socha Na Tha', he added.

One had to be very careful, says Anurag Kashyap
Black Friday'.. Recreating Mumbai of the early 90's was one of the most difficult and significant aspect of the film. One had to keep a lot of things in mind like there should be no usage of cell phones or visibility of them in the film. Even the hoardings and cars used were restricted to the 1993 set up. One would only find Maruti 800 or Vans as cars used in the film as was prevalent those days. 'Since there were a lot of street shots in the film one had to be very careful, in particular of the hoardings and cars used in the set up,' says Anurag Kashyap, the director of 'Black Friday'. 'Black Friday' is based on the events leading up to and the investigation thereafter of the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts. The 1993 Bombay blasts left 257 dead and 1400 injured and brought into the spotlight the mafia-terrorist nexus prevalent today. Based on S. Hussain Zaidi's book on the same subject, the film takes one into the heart of the conspiracy behind the Bombay blasts and the massive follow-up investigation by giving detailed account of planning, execution and back-end operations of the same. Produced by Arindam Mitra and directed by Anurag Kashyap, the film features the stellar acting talents of Kay Kay Menon, Pavan Malhotra and Aditya Srivastava playing Inspector Rakesh Maria, Tiger Memon and police informer 'Badshah Khan' respectively. The film is slated for release on 9th February 2007
