More news →No Kamal for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
South film director Vayalar Madhav had earlier planned to have Kamal Hassan to play the role of eunuch in his movie "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". But had to back out because of Kamal's over-exposed star image. The role was of Kakathiya, the head of eunuchs, who is more than 200 years old and has been doing research on how to transform eunuchs into normal human beings. Madhav has finally decided to take Tinnu Anand for the role due to his less starry image and great performance. The film is in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu. Other actors in the movie are Divya Dutta, Neha Pendse and Suhasini Mulay. It has been reported that there were over 300 eunuchs from Mumbai, Rajasthan, Chennai and Hyderabad visiting the sets of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and also performed pujas and other rituals in the movie.
Karan Johar found my moustache hot: Twinkle Khanna
Actress-turned-writer Twinkle Khanna has revealed that filmmaker Karan Johar was in love with her when they were together in boarding school. "Karan has confessed that he was in love with me. I had a little moustache at that time and he used to look at that and say 'That's hot, I like your moustache'," said Twinkle, during the unveiling of her book "Mrs Funnybones". Her husband Akshay Kumar, mother Dimple Kapadia, Aamir Khan, Sussanne Roshan and Sonali Bendre graced the occasion. Twinkle -- who acted in popular films such as "Mela", "Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai" and "Baadshah" among others -- shared an interesting anecdote about Karan. "We were in boarding school together and he was constantly hungry for some reason. So he kept telling me to rob food for him from the canteen. Finally, I got fed up and told him 'why don't you run away? I can't rob more food for you'. "We were at the end of a hill, so I said 'roll down the hill, get a boat from there and run away'. He rolled down the hill but they caught him and they made him climb back, which took him two hours and they made him an example in the assembly making him stand next to the principal as a fugitive." Karan Johar completed the incident by saying: "And the principal said 'Will you do what this boy has done?' I was made some sort of a guinea pig at that stage and it was the most humiliating experience of my life. And I was all of 12 years old." He said he was traumatised after the incident because of Twinkle, and recalled pleading in front of his parents to remove him from the school. Karan Johar told Aamir Khan that it was the same school where his film "Taare Zameen Par" was shot.
Akshay wants me to be like 'Mrs. Funnybones': Twinkle
Actor-turned-writer Twinkle Khanna says that her husband Akshay Kumar wants her to be calm and collected like the character in her book "Mrs. Funnybones". "The man of the house (Akshay) says I really wish you were this woman in the book who's always so calm and collected. "And I tell him I probably have to join Baba Ramdev and do 4,000 'Kapalbhatis' a day to be that calm. So I'm not really as cool and collected as 'Mrs. Funnybones', but she is the woman I want to be," she said in a chat with versatile personality Pritish Nandy about her book at a popular bookstore here. Twinkle also said that Akshay played a key role in her writing getting recognized. Her article supporting the All India Bakchod in their Roast controversy while highlighting country's other problems, in a leading newspaper was, according to her, what got her noticed. This article which went viral on social media had to go through the approval of Akshay before getting published. "I told my husband, 'I think I wrote this well', but he said, 'No let me see and I'll decide'. I said, 'Okay you decide, fine'. I fell asleep that night and the next day it was everywhere. So that did work well. "I've been writing for a year before that but that was the piece that got me noticed, did I think that I would get this reaction? No, I just wrote it, you don't know where it's going to go and how, and I just sent it off," said Twinkle. "Mrs. Funnybones" has received a good opening in the book market, already featuring in the list of certain bestsellers lists.
