Prem Misses ‘Chandra’ Promotion
Prem who is looking forward for his next film ‘Chandra’ with much expectations has missed out the promotions of the film as he is upset with director Roopa Iyer for not giving him adequate space to him in the posters and banners of the film. ‘Chandra’ is all set to release on the 27th of June and Roopa Iyer has started the promotional campaign of the film. Roopa Iyer has also given more space to Yash who has done a special song in the film which has irked Prem. So, Prem has been staying away from the promotions of the film. Prem was also absent for the press meet on Monday afternoon.
Prem Misses Chandra Promotion Again!
Looks like the rift between 'Lovely Star' Prem the hero of 'Chandra' and director Roopa Iyer is not yet over. When Roopa Iyer had organised for a press meet last Monday, Prem restrained from attending the press meet due to various reasons. Prem had said that 'Chandra' is his film and he will be promoting the film in future. But Prem's absence was again noticed at another press meet recently held in Bangalore. It was the press meet organised in Kormangala's EZONE, which was attended by Padmashri Vivek, Roopa Iyer, Ganesh Venkataraman and others. The ace comedian Vivek had flown down from Chennai to attend the press meet and release the video songs of the film. Though Vivek and Ganesh had come from Chennai to Bangalore, Prem who is a localite was absent during the press meet. When Prem had declared that he will definitely promote the film and it is his job to do so, then why didn't he turn up at the press meet? Didn't Prem get an invitation from the film team to address the pressmeet? Is yet to be answered.
No more dark villains in films today, feels Prem Chopr
Veteran actor Prem Chopra, best known for his negative roles in films like “Kati Patang”, “Dostana”, “Kranti” and “Phool Bane Angaarey”, says films nowadays don't feature “purely dark villians” as they are showed in more of “grey shades”. “There are no more purely dark villains. Like heroes, the negative character are also in the shades of grey today,” Prem said in a statement. The 80-year-old will next be seen in “Udanchhoo” playing the role of 'Baba G'. He and actress Bruna Abdullah were shooting for a 'Pravachan' scene earlier this week here. “When you see the scene, you will not be able to guess who is the bad guy, given the calm composed smile I have on my face through the scene. The real colours are shown off the stage by Baba G,” said Prem. In the sequence, Prem is seen sitting on a grand thrown, on a stage decorated with garlands and flowers, dressed in imperial blue robe and a yellow lustrous stole. Directed by Vipin Parashar, “Udanchhoo” is a layered comedy and is inspired from real life events. The protagonist and his family are sucked into the devious plot of the greedy ‘Baba G’. Apart from Prem, the film also stars Rajneesh Duggal and debutante Sayesha Saigal.
