More news →Sorry Bhairavi, no fur!
Don't be surprised if the 'Bheja Fry' actress Bhairavi Goswami lands up in hospital with a terrible cold. Some time ago, Anupam Kher took Bhairavi on a holiday to London. No, no! They are not having an affair! They were shooting for Karan Razdan's film 'Mr. Bhatti on Chutti'. Since it was rather cold and freezing in Northern England, Bhairavi asked her film's designer for leather pants, boots and fur-lined denim and leather jackets. Imagine her shock when the designer said, Karan had vetoed all her requests. Being an animal lover, he absolutely refused to allow any leather or fur in his film. And Bhairavi landed up shivering and sneezing on the sets most of the time.

"I did ask Chitrangda - Why SORRY BHAI?" - Onir
Film maker Onir can't help but smile while recollecting his conversations with Chitrangda Singh, the leading lady of his soon-to-be-released film SORRY BHAI. "I have been often asked how Chitrangda agreed to make her comeback with SORRY BHAI after a hiatus", quips Onir, "After all there were so many other reputed banners and film makers who were queuing up to make a film with her." What was her reply? "I asked her this question during our shooting stint at Mauritius. While I expected her to say that it was because of me or actors like Sanjay Suri and Sharman Joshi, she stumped us all by saying that it was because of the film's script more than anything else which made her nod in agreement for being a part of the project", says Onir with mock humor. "She admitted that for her script was of paramount importance and in case of SORRY BHAI, it was the biggest hero of all", quips Onir. While the shooting of SORRY BHAI is complete, the film is now in it's promotion stage. Apart from Sanjay, Sharman and Chitrangda, the film's star cast is lead by Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani.

"I am blessed to have both Boman and Shabana in SORRY BHAI" - Onir
Onir is thrilled that he has managed to rope in Boman Irani and Shabana Azmi for SORRY BHAI. Not just has he managed to rope in Chitrangada Singh of HAZAARON KHWAHISHEN AISI fame along with Sanjay Suri and Sharman Joshi, he has also got Boman Irani and ever-so-selective Shabana Azmi to play the senior roles. "It was great fun to be shooting with Boman and Shabana. I had heard about the camaraderie they shared in HONEYMOON TRAVELS PVT. LTD. but I wasn't on the sets to see that happening right in front of my eyes. Though I could sense the chemistry being pretty apparent on watching the film, it was a new experience altogether to see the two gel so well on the sets of SORRY BHAI. I am blessed to have them both in my cast", gushes Onir. "These were the names I had in mind when I was writing the roles for the senior members of my cast. Though there was some decision making around the lead actors, I was never in doubt around whom did I want for the roles that Boman and Shabana enact. Thankfully, they both agreed and the work that the two are doing is there to be seen." SORRY BHAI is a romantic comedy which takes Onir away from the heavy duty work he has done in films like MY BROTHER NIKHIL and BAS EK PAL. A musical, SORRY BHAI has music by Delhi based Gaurav Dayal.
