More news →'Parineeta' cinematographer for 'Eklavya'
Vidhu Vinod Chopra certainly believes in repeating the cast and crew of his films. Apart from roping in practically an entire cast of 'Parineeta' in 'Eklavya - The Royal Guard' [Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan], he has also sought the services of a common cinematographer - S Natarajan Subramaniam. From a period film set in West Bengal to a contemporary outing in Rajasthan, S Natarajan Subramaniam has been highly successful in providing different textures to each of the films. In fact just last Friday, his 'Black Friday' too saw the light of the day and most of the reviews have reserved a special mention for the excellent cinematography that has enhanced the gripping look and feel of the film.
"THE TRAIN has done what LAGAAN and PARINEETA have done" -Geeta Basra
Geeta Basra is mighty thrilled and is now a bundle of nerves as she awaits the release of her second film THE TRAIN which arrives on June 8th. But before that she is also quite excited about the film's screening at IIFA that takes place a day earlier in Yorkshire. "Isn't it tremendous?" she asks, "I still can't believe that THE TRAIN is being showcased at this platform. I am still waiting for the feeling to synch it that after THE TRAIN is being spoken about in the same vein as LAGAAN and PARINEETA, both of which were earlier showcased at IIFA. Our film has now done what these two films have done to Indian cinema." "I am so anxious about this whole thing; I can't even describe it", says Geeta who has a mysterious role to play in THE TRAIN, "I am sure people are going to have very high expectations from the film now due to the standards that THE TRAIN has set for itself."

Parineeti Chopra goes gaga over Priyanka 'didi'
Parineeti Chopra is all praise for actress-cousin Priyanka Chopra, who has made her international TV debut with "Quantico". She says with each step, Priyanka is setting a “new benchmark” for Indian actors. “Oh my god, how do you do it every time! So proud of you mimi didi! Love you amazing#QUANTICO GUYS!@priyankachopra,” Parineeti tweeted. After dominating the Indian film industry, Priyanka turned to the West and emerged as a singer with hit singles like “Exotic”, and now she has made inroads in to the small screen space with action-thriller series “Quantico". The former beauty queen plays an FBI agent, whose identity is shrouded by suspicion of being a terrorist. Parineeti, who forayed into Bollywood with a supporting role in the 2011 romantic comedy "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl", noted that Priyanka's hard work is a source of inspiration for all. “What you have achieved is unimaginable but I also know that only you could do it! So proud of you! #Quantico @priyankachopra. There is a new benchmark set for all of us. Why do you make us work so hard! Huh??? Hahahaha. Muuuahhhhhhh @priyankachopra,” she shared further. Parineeti features in a multi-starrer web-series "Man's World", made in support of UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development campaign. The series went live on the Y-Films channel on YouTube on September 29.
Parineeti Chopra to work on Valentine's Day
Actress Parineeti Chopra says she will be working on Valentine's Day this year and doesn't have any romantic plans for the day. "I have no plans on that day. I am working, shooting for the whole day. So you can come and see how I shoot on Valentine's Day," Parineeti said during a product launch. Valentine's Day has been lucky for her, considering the fact that her last hit "Hasee Toh Phasee" released around the same period. She has often claimed that she is single, though her name has been linked to "Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl" director Maneesh Sharma, and actors Arjun Kapoor, Uday Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur in the past. Her victory over weight issues recently grabbed the spotlight. "Weight loss is a very long and difficult process. I've been working on myself for 11 months now and I feel it'll still take a couple of months to reach where I want to." "I used to think about food the whole day, what I'll eat next and what after that. It has to come within you if you have to lose weight. You just have to remain consistent and mentally strong if you want results. I just told myself that I have tasted all food that I wanted to taste, I don't want to do more and I want to be fit now," she said.
