Bollywood’s talented star

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is not only a perfectionist, but he also manages to think out of the box. Among them, the superstar maintains a team of private critics, which consists of his buddies and movie lovers who have a sensitive taste for films. Aamir Khan screens his flicks in private to this group, who then give their frank reviews. The actor doesn’t stop with listening to the opinions and also respects them. Aamir Khan Of late, Aamir’s motive have been global, which can be well witnessed in Peepli Live and Dhobi Ghat, which were made for global viewers. To focus on his target audience, Aamir Khan also planned a market gimmicks of screening these movies in international film festivals before releasing them in Indian theaters. Peepli Live was screened at the Sundance film festival and was also mentioned in the Berlin and Durban film festivals. Dhobi Ghat started to get noticed after it was screened at the Toronto film festival. Aamir Khan is in full mood to grab a place in the 64 th Cannes film festival to be held from the 11 th to 22 nd of May this year. This year’s Cannes will be special to India, as the organizers will be screening a documentary on Indian cinema.

But no director came forward with a proposal to cast them together in of their projects. The two even sizzled on a magazine cover a year ago where they showcased the look of the legendary screen couple Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman. We hope to see both the stars teaming up together.

Shahrukh chooses action over duration for 'Ra. One'

Shahrukh Khan really wants his 'Ra. One' to boast of biggest and perhaps some of the most improbable action ever conceptualised and executed. So passionate is he with the idea of making 'Ra. One' cut across boundaries that he was unwilling to drop anything which had been earlier agreed upon on paper, even if it threatened to increase the duration of the film by 15 minutes.    "There was an action sequence that Anubhav Sinha had conceived for 'Ra. One'. While it did sound extremely interesting on paper and was also innovative in appeal as it had been never seen in any film before, whether Bollywood or Hollywood, Anubhav himself started doubting whether filming something like that would be feasible after all," says a source from the film's technical crew.    Around this time came a stage in the film's creative process when there was an option to reduce the duration of 'Ra. One' by around 15 minutes. Anubhav was more than happy to let go off this entire sequence and suggested the same to Shahrukh.    "While Anubhav felt that this sequence was not just going to be overtly expensive but also nearly impossible to execute, Shahrukh had already made up his mind. He told Anubhav in clear words that he would be mad if he let this opportunity go away from his hands," continues the source, "Shahrukh wanted Anubhav to be further creative in his approach and devise a way to film this sequence effectively."    It was also quite apparent by now that Anubhav wasn't really left with much choice but to go back to the drawing board. The sequence was eventually shot and much to Shahrukh's delight, it went as per expectations as well.    Though Anubhav chooses to keep mum over the incident and the actual content of the action sequence, he does admit that Shahrukh was particular about the said action sequence. "It truly belongs to 'never seen before' kind. When you would see the film, you would get it by yourself that which sequence had fascinated Shahrukh most and in process given me the toughest time of my life", smiles Anubhav, "Beyond that I don't wish to comment anything."

Shahrukh khan not the reason for Abhinav Kashyap to wall Dabangg 2

The director of Dabangg Abhinav Kashyap is not making Dabangg 2 neither is he working with with Shahrukh Khan in any new film. In the latest news he comes clear and he says that although he has walked out of Dabangg 2 after many speculations he has his own reasons and none of the reasons is Shahrukh Khan. Who thought that success could lead to discomfort, but ask the same to Abhinav and he could tell his story of fame which lead to a lot of discomfort and rumors. It all started when there was a disagreement between Arbaaz, Salman and Abhinav regarding a single scene in Dabangg and it is said that Abhinav took that pretty badly and later this rift created a chasm between the director and the producers. However in the recent official statement Abhinav says that why are people taking a single healthy debate between co workers as something which it is not. Then to make matters more complicated the rumors were flying that SRK wanted to do a film with the famous Dabangg director and for the same the director has met the superstar in his house not telling the other Khans about it. But Abhinav very candidly cleared the air and said that Shahrukh met him once through a common friend in October and there has been no meeting after that. In a  question when it was asked if it was appropriate that Abhinav Kashyap told Arbaaz Khan that he won’t be working with them through a SMS to which he said that he knows that the producer is feeling bad about it but Abhinav has to move on reports The Times Of India. The sole reason that Abhinav doesn’t want to work with the Dabangg Brothers is that he fears that if Dabangg 2 does well then he has to make Dabangg 3 and if it doesn’t do well then people would write him off as one movie wonder. He doesn’t want that to happen so he is taking his time and for now basking in the glory of the success of Dabangg.

Aamir keen to catch Bengali film 'Egaro'

It's not just Bollywood , even regional cinema seems to interest Aamir Khan . Why else would he ask for a DVD of a Bengali film to be sent to him on Friday morning? News just in that Mr Perfectionist is keen on watching the recently released " Egaro " (The Eleven), a Bengali film based on the historic IFA Shield victory of Mohun Bagan Athletic Club of Calcutta against East Yorkshire Regiment of England by two goals on July 29 , 1911. If sources are to be believed, a special screening of the film was supposed to happen in Mumbai sometime back and was deferred because Aamir had to leave for the 61 st Berlin International Film Festival, where he was a jury member. And now, busy with Reema Kagti's next, in which he plays a cop, Aamir still hasn't given up on his interest to catch the Bengali film. The story goes back a little, when Aamir had called up Sourav Ganguly expressing the desire to work on the same subject. Meanwhile, work on "Egaro" had already begun and Sourav got Aamir introduced to Anilava Chatterjee, co- producer of the film. Anilava recalls, "Even when Aamir came calling on Sourav during the promotion of "3 Idiots", he admitted to be interested in a sports film and wanted to work on subjects like the golden history of football or hockey. I had sent him all the research work that we had done on IFA Shield victory, back then. Aamir kept in touch and now, wants the DVD of "Egaro" to be sent to him." Aamir, not new to exploring sports on celluloid, had earlier featured in the Ashutosh Gowariker-directed "Lagaan" in 2001. So, when is Aamir's wish going to be fulfilled, one wonders. "Right now, we are busy selling the television rights of the film. The DVD should come out in a month or so. It will be sent to Aamir soon after," says Anilava. Tollywood is sure to be on Eleventh heaven!   Aamir Khan More Pics

Bumper year predicted for Badshah Khan Star Talk : Sci-fi action thriller could shatter box- office records

When Shahrukh Khan recently collected his best-actor award for his role in My Name is Khan at the Zee Awards in Singapore, he said he enjoyed winning awards and that if he did not, it simply meant he had to work harder as the awards were a reflection of his contribution to Indian cinema. While the "Badshah" had the one solo release last year, the year predominantly belonged to his arch rival, Salman Khan, who delivered the runaway success Dabangg. However, the tables could turn this year as Shahrukh Khan is expected to deliver two projects that could set trends and possibly even shatter box-office records. His first mega project for this year, scheduled for release in October, is his home production Ra 1 entertainer which he produces. It is directed by Anubhav Sinha, who has thus far made some average flicks such as Tum Bin and Aapko Pehle Kahi Dekha Hai. The movie has Khan playing the role of a superhero with Kareena Kapoor as his leading lady and Arjun Ramphal as his nemesis. Singing sensation Akon and Chinese actor Tom Wu will also feature and international technicians have been assigned to work on the action and stunts for a story that tackles the relationship between a father and his son. Khan's other big release for December this year is Don 2 - was voted the most eagerly awaited Bollywood release of the year. It brings back the team of Khan and Priyanka Chopra, who are to be directed by the ace Farhan Akthar. The original Don , with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, was a classic, but Akthar has added his own touch and made his new version more slick and stylish while being faithful to the original. The new Don, which was released in 2006 the model-turned-actor Arjun Ramphal. He made a mysterious exit from the sequel and has subsequently been replaced by Kunal Kapoor. Lara Dutta joins the cast and Hrithik Roshan has secured a guest appearance. The first look of the movie, which has been shot in Berlin and Malaysia, has created major excitement across the world as the story traces the Don's escape from prison. Versatile Akthar, a supremely talented performer, should have a memorable and successful year. He will be ever-visible as producer, director and actor. Besides being the force behind the Don movies, Akhtar, who made an acting debut in Rock On, will also produce the Abhishek Bachchan action thriller Game and his sister Zoya's movie on friendship, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, in which he doubles up as one of the lead stars alongside Roshan, Katrina Kaif and Abhay Deol. The other big project that Akthar will produce, will be directed by Reema Katgi of Honeymoon Travels fame and bring together the powerful combination of Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji. Aamir last worked with Akthar in the trendsetting Dil Chahta Hai. The new, as yet untitled, project will apparently only be released next year cementing speculations that Aamir will rule with this project and Dhoom 3. The other popular star in the Khan brigade is Salman, who will be seen with Asin in Ready and Kareena Kapoor in Bodyguard. Without a crystal ball, my predictions are that Shahrukh Khan and Akthar will be the toast of the Bollywood year and add more awards to their already impressive tally.

Vir Das shoots music video for 'Delhi Belly'

Stand-up comedian and 'Badmaash Company' actor Vir Das has shot a special music-video with choreographer Farah Khan for ' Delhi Belly'. The film is being produced by Aamir Khan and it stars Imran Khan in the lead role. Farah, who left for Chandigarh for a month-long schedule of her husband Shirish Kunder's directorial venture 'Joker', wrapped up the 'Delhi Belly' song and then headed for the cool climate of Chandigarh where her better half shoots in the open fields.

When it comes to doing what is right by a project, Aamir is unflappable." 'Delhi Belly' is directed by Abhinay Deo who has also directed Abhishek Bachchan starrer 'Game'.

Shahrukh Khan: Can he capture the Hollywood audience?

Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan is sailing on to Hollywood ocean with the film titled ‘Xtrme City’. The buzz has it that Shahrukh shall be rubbing shoulders with the ‘Titanic’ actor Leonardo DiCaprio in this flick which shall be produced collaboratively by SRK and the eminent Hollywood figurine Martin Scorsese. The question is- Will the King Khan establish his supremacy in the Hollywood circuit? We are all aware of his charisma and powerful acting calibre. But in case he shares the screen with DiCaprio, we may get to see some rivalry and the fans would be split for choice on whom to support. Though, DiCaprio is an established star in the West, SRK has his own share of following all over the globe and with this film he is likely to broaden his fan base as many Holly-lovers who haven’t watched any of his Bolly flick would get to judge him as well. ‘Xtrme City’ is slated to be directed by Paul Schrader who was the screenwriter of acclaimed films like ‘Raging Bull’ and ‘Taxi Driver’. It was during the Berlin Film Festival last year when SRK had chanced upon DiCaprio and Scorsese and they decided of a joint future project .
