Sobhita Dhulipala opens about ‘life coming in full circle’, from being rejected as a background model for a brand to being its brand ambassador https://ift.tt/duefWER

Sobhita Dhulipala, who is one of the self-made stars in Bollywood, recently has been busy promoting the web series The Night Manager. The actress, who has been a part of some prestigious projects like Ponniyin Selvan, opened up about the kind of transition and culture-shock she experienced as a teenager who shifted from Vizag to Mumbai. Recalling her initial days of modelling and giving auditions for TVCs (Television Commercials), Sobhita revealed that she was rejected as a background model for the skin and haircare brand L’Oréal and then later, being signed on as one of their brand ambassadors. During her interview with Mashable India, Sobhita Dhulipala discussed her journey, starting from her early modelling days to becoming an actress. In the same, she opened up about how she faced several rejections because she didn’t fit the conventional standards of beauty. She said, “I never got even one because they told me I was not pretty or appealing”. The actress went on to add that during her college days, she did not believe that she was good-looking because she felt out-of-place in terms of fashion and style. So when she got rejected from modelling assignments, she would often believe it to be true because she was not confident about her looks. She added, " I was like, ‘Yes, obviously,' bachpan ka woh trauma tha, woh sach bol raha hai (because of my childhood trauma, I believed that they were saying the truth).” Sobhita went on to recall about her L’Oréal experience saying, “Mujhe voh bhi nahi mila (I did not even get that).” She continued, “Background mein bhi reject kia tha (They rejected me as a background model also).” She concluded the experience, “I was with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, passing shampoos, doing the ad, and I just felt it’s nice to be here,” she said. Coming to her recent project The Night Manager, the web show is a remake of John le Carré’s novel by the same name and stars Aditya Roy Kapur as well as Anil Kapoor as the two essential characters with Sobhita’s role as Kaveri acting as a crucial catalyst. The show is currently streaming on Disney+Hotstar. Also Read: Anil Kapoor confesses he was “nervous to a certain extent” while performing with The Night Manager co-star Sobhita Dhulipala

REVEALED: No change in release plans; Ranbir Kapoor-Shraddha Kapoor starrer Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar to arrive in cinemas on March 8, as originally scheduled https://ift.tt/duefWER

Last week, Bollywood Hungama reported that there could be a change in the release date of Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. The makers of the Ranbir Kapoor-Shraddha Kapoor starrer were contemplating releasing the film on Tuesday, March 7, instead of Wednesday, March 8. The thought emerged as the makers thought that it’ll be wise to take advantage of the Holi holiday in several states on March 7. However, we have not learnt that the prepone plans have been dropped. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “There is no change in the plan. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar will release on March 8, as originally scheduled.” The source further said, “A lot of last-minute prep is going on with the film and the makers feared that releasing a day earlier might add a lot of stress to the already overworked team. Moreover, even internationally, the plan was locked for March 8. Hence, a decision was taken to release Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar on March 8.” The source added, “The makers are confident of a healthy opening, though it’ll be a working day in several states on March 8. But thanks to considerable hype and youthful appeal, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar can score on the partial holiday on Wednesday. And let’s not forget that Women’s Day also falls on March 8 and that can further boost the footfalls.” A trade expert quipped, “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar will enjoy a five-day weekend and then there’s limited competition till the release of Ajay Devgn’s Bholaa. If the film clicks with the audience, it’ll be the second hit of 2023 after Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.” Besides Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar also stars Dimple Kapadia and Anubhav Singh Bassi. Producer Boney Kapoor makes his full-fledged acting debut with this rom-com. It is directed by Luv Ranjan, of Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) fame.

Zeenat Aman reveals the real reason of her joining Instagram; says, “I will take to Instagram to spotlight causes, issues or organisations that I feel hold meaning for society as a whole” https://ift.tt/duefWER

Veteran Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman made her Instagram debut on February 11, 2023. The actress now has a family of 87.5K on Instagram and still counting. Unlike many other Bollywood celebs, Zeenat did not stick to just general posts. She made her Instagram as a platform for her to share yesteryear experiences with the audience. Her Insta fam is in complete awe of her significant posts. In her recent post, she revealed that she wanted to make her Instagram account meaningful. Sharing the picture, she wrote, “We are over 81,000 strong now on this page, and I am so touched by all of your comments, shares, messages and love. I am also just gobsmacked by the sheer geographic diversity of my well-wishers. It is physically impossible for me to respond to each person who writes in, but I do see and appreciate your words. Please accept a warm thank you from me. Over the past week, my boys and I have been discussing the purpose of my presence here. As well as how to use Instagram as more than just a platform for my memories, work and vanity. So I think, once in a while, I will take to Instagram to spotlight causes, issues or organisations that I feel hold meaning for society as a whole. I only stumbled upon my love for animals quite late in life, with the adoption of our first dog Raphael in 2006. Raffy’s love transformed me, and taught me to look at all animals with a kinder eye. Sadly, this also meant acknowledging how poorly most species are treated. Animal welfare is certainly something I will be talking about here. Other causes will vary, but for today I encourage you to follow @pari.network that brings out stories from rural India. I specifically chose PARI today because I see the evaporation of authentic rural stories from mainstream storytelling, and am aware of how much news space even the most banal celebrity updates occupy. I’m glad to be here with all of you. Bye now! ???? Picture by @tanyyaa.a_”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) Reacting to the post, a user commented, “o happy to see you in the Gram! You are my all time favorite actress! Your beauty, fashion sense and intelligence and progressive attitude broke barriers for all the actresses that came ayer you! You are so original and we’re a breath of fresh air when you came to Bollywood movies!” while another user wrote, “Also, some posts, perhaps, on tutoring us on how to communicate respectfully, how to articulate without being too verbose, but be straight as an arrow at the same time. I’ll pay premium prices for such classes, buy new stationery, take notes religiously and keep them notes in the bank locker, for these would be my most prized possessions.” A commented read, “So so glad to have you here on IG, Zeenat ji! For numerous reasons, we are presented such one-dimensional versions of women in the film industry. With every post, the way you share your thoughts and musings and passions, it becomes clearer that an articulate, 'real' woman sparks so many ideas and inspiration. Many false structures would get demolished the instant women are just able to connect and have the conversations we were always going to have if not for insecure men calling the shots :),” “Zeenath Maam believe me im such a great fan of you... Every week I keep a song of you on my whatsapp status. .. MaShaAllah maam may Allah Give you best of health... Love you Maam,” read another comment. Zeenat Aman is an Indian actress and a former model. The Evil Within (1970), starring Dev Anand, marked the former beauty queen's acting debut. She has acted in films like Yaadon Ki Baarat, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Qurbani, Dharam Veer, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Insaaf Ka Tarazu among others.

Rashmika Mandanna's black lace mini dress with a flowing train wonderfully encapsulates red carpet fashion https://ift.tt/duefWER

As her Pushpa song, ‘Sami Sami’ became popular online, South actress Rashmika Mandanna rose to fame. Fans recreated her hook steps on Instagram, turning her moves into a nationwide craze. People loved her acting as well as her dance talents, and when she made her acting debut in Goodbye, Bollywood welcomed her with open arms. With 36.5 million Instagram followers, the actress' fame has been rising every day. If you take a look at Rashmika Mandanna's social media, you will see a tonne of lovely pictures of her that get a lot of love from her admirers every day. Although though Rashmika Mandanna is one of our favourite performers, it's her equally amazing wardrobe choices that catch our eye. The actor always looks great, whether it's for red carpet events or movie promotions. When she recently attended the Zee Cine Awards, she had her own fashion moment. The evening's red carpet was up a notch by the presence of many more guests. Rashmika Mandanna followed, and with her moment of making a statement in style, she stood out from the throng. Rashmika chose a strapless, short black dress with a straight hem. The tiny dress had two patterns, with the black lace overlay covering a beige inner. It resulted in a flowing train behind her and an exaggerated cold shoulder design on one arm, both made of a metallic black fabric. Rashmika wore simple heels with a transparent strap and gold anklet accents. There were only a few rings and stud earrings in her jewellery collection. Rashmika made the perfect decision in opting for an updo since it put the spotlight squarely on her face and neckline rather than concealing them. She opted for gorgeously highlighted radiant skin, heavy brows, and a neutral glossy lip for her makeup. We give Rashmika Mandanna's tiny dress moment the highest rating possible. Taking to social media, she shared the pictures and showcased her gratitude for winning the award of Best Debut for her film ‘Goodbye’ at the Zee Cine Awards yesterday. She writes “A very very special day, got an award, had a performance... feel absolutely grateful for everything and everyone in my life.” Recently, Rashmika Mandanna attended Milan Fashion Week and marked her presence for the first time. She also met several Korean superstars, about which several fans got excited about.  Meanwhile, on the work front, the actress is gearing up for Animal with Ranbir Kapoor and Pushpa 2 with Allu Arjun.

Saiyami Kher to essay the role of a para-athlete in R Balki's sports drama Ghoomer https://ift.tt/LwiZavc

Saiyami Kher will soon be seen in R Balki’s Ghoomer, an emotional and inspiring sports drama. Saiyami plays the role of a para-athlete, a cricket prodigy. Although she grew up playing cricket, this role was especially challenging since she had the role of a para-athlete, something she had to work hard to get into character. Siayami says, “I play the role of a left-handed bowler in Ghoomer and, for me, in real life, I am a right-handed player. I could never actually step into the shoes of a real-life para-athlete, but even the small hurdles I had to overcome being an athlete myself, reminded me of things we take for granted. Preparing and filming for Ghoomer opened my eyes in a way that I never thought would happen to go into it. It was a physically and emotionally challenging time, but my struggles were minuscule when compared to those heroes who make our country proud by participating in so many sports as para-athletes”. Ghoomer, which is expected to release in 2023 is a movie about a sports prodigy and also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Angad Bedi and Shabana Azmi in pivotal roles. Abhishek plays her coach and Angad Bedi plays her love interest in the movie. The film, which is currently in the post-production stage, is co-written by Balki, along with Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani, and is inspired by the story of Karoly Takacs, the late Hungarian right-hand shooter who won two Olympic gold medals with his left-hand after his other hand was seriously injured.

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan has seen unprecedented collections at the box office for a Hindi film. It's broken several records and has surpassed Rs. 1020 crore at the worldwide box office. Actor-producer Arbaaz Khan thinks it is a perfect payback for what the Khan family went through for the past two years. In a recent interview with DNA, Arbaaz Khan said, "And it was perfectly timed. More so for Shah Rukh, for all that he and his family have gone through last two years, I think this was a payback for the poor fellow. It was a very deserving, entertaining film and Shah Rukh was best in it." Speaking of the boycott calls and the threats that Pathaan received before its release, Arbaaz further said, “The audience doesn’t care what’s being written about someone. If you will allow a smooth release, they will come. If you create distress or vandalise theatres, then they won’t risk their lives for it. But if you genuinely want to know whether they will boycott it, they won’t." Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is currently shooting for his film Jawan with director Atlee Kumar and actors Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara. Next up, he also has Dunki which will mark his first collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani. The film is set for December 2023 release.

Arbaaz Khan opens up on why he began his career as a villain in Daraar; says, “Honestly, I was just waiting to start work” https://ift.tt/UFJCaW7

Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan began his career with a negative character in Daraar. One would question why the brother of one of India's biggest superstar, Salman Khan, and the son of a renowned screenwriter (Salim Khan), would start his career with the role of a villain. Arbaaz stated that there weren't many opportunities for him, so he wanted to get started in show business as soon as possible. Arbaaz Khan told IANS, “The opportunities were very less and there were only a few directors with whom an actor would have wanted to work then. Honestly, I was just waiting to start work.” The actor further said, “At the end of the day, I too had responsibilities, my father had such a terrific body of work, my brother (Salman Khan) was already a big star by then.” “So, it was important for me to take the plunge. In showbiz, you expect your break at the age of 21 or 22 but, once you're in your mid 20s and you haven't started working, there's pressure on you to work, earn and deliver. So, I thought the film was good and the negative shade of my character did not matter to me,” said the actor. Arbaaz concluded by saying, “So, it was more of a work call, I got the award in my very first film. I agree that for a long time I was typecast as an actor after that film but that also gave me work. Kaam karna important hai na (To work is all that matters, right?) And, I changed that particular image over a period of time.” Coming to the professional front, the 55-year-old actor was last seen Tanaav, a ten-episode series on terrorism in Kashmir streaming on SonyLiv. Currently he hosts the long-format talk show, The Invincibles with Arbaaz Khan on Bollywood Bubble. Also Read: Arbaaz Khan attended the birthday bash of World Record Holder Dr Pratayksha

Shah Rukh Khan’s next, Dunki marks the debut collaboration of the actor and director Rajkumar Hirani. Rajkumar discussed his thoughts on the project and the actor. He revealed that SRK had surprised him by showing up to the filming locations prepared and with a strong work ethic.

In a similar vein to Shah Rukh, Rajkumar is making a comeback in the movies. 2018 saw the release of his most recent movie, Sanju, a biopic of actor Sanjay Dutt. Next in line for SRK is Dunki which also stars Taapsee Pannu and Boman Irani. As per the director, Dunki is a very high-performance picture with a lot of speeches and long scenes, regardless, Shah Rukh has the entire script memorised in his mind. He continued by expressing how much he enjoyed working with the actor. In an interview, Rajkumar told India Today, “He shoots videos of a scene at his home and sends them to me. There will be 15 ways of how he is going to do this. Before I go on the set, I know what he is going to do. Sometimes I have kept two days for a shoot and he finishes it in two hours. He’s a complete charmer and has great control over the language. He surprised me completely by coming at 7 am to shoot.” He further added, “He is also aware that I sleep early. Pooja [Dadlani] (Shah Rukh’s manager) tells him not to keep me up late. So, he calls me early. He keeps teasing me that by the time the shoot is done, he will have converted me. ‘Subah kaun uthta hai?’ (Who wakes up in the morning?) He keeps his team happy. They eat and party together. They are a big family for him. I wish I had worked earlier with him.” On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan made his comeback to the big screen in January 2023 with Pathaan, which also starred Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The superstar has also been working on of his next film Jawan apart from Dunki. Jawan is almost ready for release.

Suniel Shetty recalls his first encounter with son-in-law KL Rahul; says, “I was a big fan of him” https://ift.tt/UFJCaW7

Suniel Shetty claimed that he first met his son-in-law KL Rahul in 2019 at an airport, where he discovered that they both hail from Mangalore.. Later, he learned that the cricketer was already acquainted with and on "talking terms" with his daughter, the actor Athiya Shetty. On January 23, 2023, the pair exchanged vows at Suniel's family farm in Khandala. The actor appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show to discuss Kumite 1 Warrior Hunt, the first MMA reality programme in India. He also discussed the recent nuptials of his daughter to Rahul. Unaware that he and Athiya were already acquainted, he talked of meeting the cricketer. Mid-Day quoted Suniel Shetty saying, “I had the pleasure of meeting Rahul first at an airport. I was thrilled to learn that he was from Mangalore, my hometown. I was a big fan of him and was happy to see that he was doing well. When I came home and shared the news with Athiya and [wife] Mana, they didn’t say much; they just exchanged looks with each other. Later, Mana came to me and said that Athiya and Rahul [were on] talking terms.” “I was surprised that Athiya had not mentioned it to me. [At the same time], I was happy as I always told Athiya to connect with south Indian boys. Rahul’s house in Mangalore [where his parents live] is only a few kilometres away from my birthplace [Mulki]. So, this was a happy coincidence,” the actor added. On the work front, Shetty’s last project Dharavi Bank was released on MX Player last year. Directed by Samit Kakkad, the web series saw him play a gangster from Mumbai with Vivek Oberoi essaying the role of a cop. He will be next seen in Hera Pheri 3 reuniting with co-stars Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. Earlier this week, a promo announcement shoot for the film was held in Mumbai.

Dunki director Rajkumar Hirani speaks highly of Shah Rukh Khan; says, “Sometimes I have kept two days for a shoot and he finishes it in two hours” https://ift.tt/UFJCaW7

Rajkumar Hirani is arguably the biggest director of Bollywood right now. He has delivered five films till now, all of which have been huge successes and have tremendous recall value. As a result, the expectations are tremendous from his upcoming film, Dunki. Moreover, it stars Shah Rukh Khan, who’s on a roll after the blockbuster success of his recently released action entertainer, Pathaan. Rajkumar Hirani rarely gives interviews and mostly speaks to the media around the time of his film’s release. As a result, it was a surprise when he recently spoke to India Today about Dunki. In this conversation, he expressed his love for Shah Rukh Khan and his work ethic. Rajkumar Hirani revealed that he was blown away by Shah Rukh's prep process and that the actor would shoot videos of a scene from his home and send it to him. That’s not all. Rajkumar said, “There will be 15 ways of how he is going to do this. Before I go on the set, I know what he is going to do. Sometimes I have kept two days for a shoot and he finishes it in two hours.” He also praised him for his command over the language. It’s common knowledge that Shah Rukh Khan is not an early morning person. Hence, Rajkumar Hirani said that he was pleasantly surprised to see him arrive at 7:00 am for a shoot. He also said that Shah Rukh knew that the director sleeps early and hence, he ensures that he doesn’t call him late at night. At the same time, however, Rajkumar Hirani said, “He keeps teasing me that by the time the shoot is done, he will have converted me (into a night owl). (He would ask) ‘Itna subah kaun uthta hai?’”, adding that “I wish I had worked earlier with him”. Another aspect of Shah Rukh Khan that Rajkumar Hirani praised was that “If has to make a point, he does it subtly. He doesn’t want to come across as disturbing the thought process.” Besides Shah Rukh Khan, Dunki also stars Taapsee Pannu and Boman Irani. It is scheduled to be released on December 22, 2023.

Javed Akhtar reacts to his comment on 26/11 attacks; says, “It became too big, it feels embarrassing” https://ift.tt/gDKbsYa

Javed Akhtar recently went to a festival in Lahore to honour the author Faiz Ahmed Faiz, where he learned that Indians believe all Pakistanis to be terrorists. In a sharp response, Javed stated that the terrorists of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks continue to roam freely in Pakistan. Since then, he has been at the centre of the debate; while Indian celebrities and politicians are applauding him for the statement, Pakistani celebrities like Ali Zafar have criticised him. Javed reiterated his remarks from the event while speaking at an ABP event. He said, “It became too big, it feels embarrassing, feel like I should not go (for such events). Yaha aya to laga pata nahi third World War jeet ke aya hoon. The people and the media have so many reactions. I was embarrrased aisa kya keh diya? Itni baat to kehni padegi, chup rahein kya?” He further added, “I got to know that people are abusing me there. They are asking, ‘Why was he given visa?’ Is tarah ki baatein, jo thodisi sensitive aur controversial ho… jis mulk mein paida hue, jisme rehte hain aur jisme marenge waha karte rehte hai toh do din wahaa gaye the, wahaan kya darna? Jab yaha nahi darte toh wahaan kya darenge?” He was questioned about how he mustered the confidence to say these things in front of a Pakistani audience. He replied, “I’m sure the youth of Pakistan will embrace you with open arms. I’ll tell you one thing — No country is a monolith. What happens is that we start believing that the policies of their government and establishment is what the country is about. But that’s not true.” He further added, “The fact is that it is very unfortunate that we are unaware that there is a huge segment in Pakistan that wants to have a good relation with India and that is totally understandable, not because they are saints, but because they are seeing a country next door jahaan itna development hai, itni industries hai, jahaan par corportate world itna develop kar gaya, jahaan culture itna hai, jahaan music aur films itni peak pe hai. So, an average citizen of that country would obviously be curious and would want to come here and see and if given an opportunity of a job or a presentation, he’ll run to do it and it totally understandable.” The Faiz Festival was a three-day event, which commenced on February 17 and ended on February 19. Javed believed that it was unfair to expect Indians to disregard the fact that the attackers were living freely in Pakistan after having witnessed the horrors of the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai.

The much-awaited romcom, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, is less than two weeks away from its release and there's considerable excitement among the audiences. The trailer and songs of this Ranbir Kapoor-Shraddha Kapoor starrer have worked well and trade expects Luv Ranjan’s directorial to have a huge opening at the box office. And if sources are to be believed, the makers are thinking of releasing it sooner than expected. A source said, "Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar is scheduled to release on Wednesday, March 8. But the producers are toying with the idea of preponing it and releasing it a day earlier, on Tuesday, March 7.” The source continued, "The second day of Holi falls on March 7. There has been confusion over this aspect. In many places, the Holi holiday will be on March 7. To take advantage of it, the makers felt that it was wise to come on March 7 since that's when it'll get maximum footfalls." The source, however, also added, “A decision will be taken in a few days. If Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar gets ready in time, it’ll be out on Tuesday, March 7. Or else, it’ll arrive in cinemas on March 8, as scheduled.” If Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar releases on March 7, it will enjoy an extended six-day weekend, which is very unusual as filmmakers prefer releasing the day on Thursday or at the most on Wednesday, if not on Friday, to take advantage of a festive holiday. Last year, the Diwali releases - Akshay Kumar starrer Ram Setu and Ajay Devgn-Sidharth Malhotra-Rakul Preet Singh starrer Thank God - also got a release on Tuesday, October 25, as that was the day of the post-Diwali holiday. More than 10 years ago, Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Ajay Devgn-starrer Son Of Sardaar, the 2012 Diwali releases, also released on the big screen on a Tuesday.

Boney Kapoor recalls the first time he met Sridevi on her 5th death anniversary; filmmaker shares videos in her memory https://ift.tt/lpdqMft

Boney Kapoor and Sridevi were one of the most beloved couples of the industry and her demise definitely left the entire Kapoor family in shock. Boney, who often recalls his memories with her, posts about it on social media and today on her fifth death anniversary, the filmmaker took to Instagram to share two video clips from the India Today Woman Summit, which had Sridevi as the Chief Guest. In the video clip, Boney Kapoor is seen in the audience and he was handed over the mic to talk about the Indian actress. During the same, he recalled his first meeting with her. In the video, Boney Kapoor recalled how it was love at first sight for him when he saw her in one of the Tamil films. "It happened the first time I saw her on screen, this was probably in the late 70s, when I saw one of her Tamil films. I said to myself that this is someone I would want to have in my film. We were planning to make a Rishi Kapoor film those days. I had bought the rights for a film.” In the same video, he also added that at that time he was working on Rishi Kapoor film. Although Rishi had not read the script before speaking to the Kapoor actor, Boney took off to Chennai to meet Sridevi in a bid to sign her as the leading lady. However, he added disappointingly that he couldn’t meet her then because she was in Singapore shooting for one of her films, adding, “She was always on my mind.” Later, he went on to talk about how he loved her Hindi film Solva Sawan (a Hindi remake of her Tamil film 16 Vayanthinile) and how it had an impact on him. Boney further added that he was waiting for the right opportunity which he got with Mr. India. "I went up to her set, met her. When I met her, it was almost like a dream come true. You know, she is an introvert and doesn't communicate very easily with strangers, and I was a stranger at that point of time. The few words that she spoke in broken Hindi and broken English, they touched me and moved me. I got more curious to know her. As it was a practice those days, that a mother would decide on commercial issues and other aspects."   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Boney.kapoor (@boney.kapoor) He went on to also added how he got close to her mother. He continued about signing Sridevi for Mr. India and how he went to Chennai to meet Sridevi’s mother to confirm the deal, “At that time I knew she had charged Rs. 8-8.5 lacs for one of the film.” Interrupting his speech, Sridevi asked him to not go into details. But Boney continued, “Her mother quoted a figure. She told me that Sridevi will charge Rs. 10 lacs which was probably her way of negotiating. But I went ahead and said, ‘no I will pay her Rs. 11 lacs. Her mother probably thought I was a crazy producer from Mumbai who actually offered her more than what she asked for. And that’s how I got close to her mother.” For the unversed, Mr. India featured Anil Kapoor as the leading man and it was directed by Shekhar Kapur.

Karisma Kapoor on Brown bagging a spot at Berlin Film Festival; says, “The honour is that Brown is the only Indian show in Series Market Select at Berlin” https://ift.tt/C6v8ZQp

Brown, Karisma Kapoor's latest show, has already garnered a following at the Berlin Film Festival before it ever airs. It is a dark and gritty investigative thriller. In a recent interview, the actress spoke about her character in Brown. She suffers from alcoholism and has been severely beaten by life. Curiously, because the story is set in Kolkata, Karisma had to learn Bengali for her part. Not only that, but the actress also had to learn how to roll a joint because her character is a chain smoker. In an interview, when Karisma revealed what compelled her to sign up for Brown. She told ETimes, “When I heard the script for Brown I was wowed. The character of Rita Brown is so different, she's so raw and human. The story touches upon certain topics which are not normally danced with or put forth. I remember my first reaction was, 'Should I do this?' After the narration and experiencing the insistence of Abhinay Deo (director) and the entire team of producers at Zee Studios, I decided to take up the challenge of being Rita Brown. It was a wonderful experience.” Karisma’s character in Brown was that of a chain smoker and an alcoholic. Hence, the actress had to learn to roll a joint. When asked whether it was similar to having a culture shock after getting acquainted with her character in the show, she said, “I wouldn't call it a culture shock, but these are definitely not things that I normally do. I was not in my comfort zone in that sense. But then that is what the challenge of being an actor is, right? And you always want to push yourself. I always want to take myself to the next creative level. Being Rita Brown was an extremely interesting experience and I think a creatively satisfying one at that.” She further added that every show demanded a lot of hard work. “Hard work here was to the point of very nuanced hard work, whether it was on the character, locations, on the script level, on every level of making the show,” she said. Brown had got selected for the Berlinale Series Market Select. Karisma Said, “The honour is that Brown is the only Indian show in Series Market Select at Berlin. It feels very humbling and exciting at the same time. The real victory is that all the hard work that we put into the show is getting noticed. And not just here in India, but on an international platform. It's also encouraging to know that our show has brought an all-new perspective to Indian content on a global stage. The kind of themes and topics that the show highlights are different. And the story tells you its fine to deal with all that stuff.” Brown is a dark and gritty investigative thriller. When the actress was asked what makes it so different, she said, “It is not just a regular crime drama. It is also a human drama. It's a show about human emotions. It's about certain topics that we don't bring to light or put forth too often. I think it's an inspirational story. I would call Rita Brown an inspiration to women around the world. You can be beat up, you can go through certain things, but there is always a way out.” Karisma’s character in the series is an Anglo-Indian character who is a cop. When asked how did she react to the character that was offered to her and how was her experience while playing the role, she said, “Yeah, that was very interesting. We did a lot of work to get that side of the character right. I saw a lot of footage, I had to read about it. We had a lot of workshops with Helen aunty and Soni (Razdan) aunty. It was a lot of fun playing an Anglo-Indian character.” Further when she was asked if the show was designed in a way that it would appeal not just Indian audience but to international viewers too, she said, “I don't know. I never thought about that, actually. I never looked at it that way. I don't think it was intentional. I think maybe Abhinay just tweaked the tone of his show in such a way that it has reached an international audience. The idea was always to make something different, a bit out of the ordinary. I don't think we set out to make something that must reach an international audience. It was set out to just be something out of the ordinary.” In the show, Karisma’s character Rita looked jaded. However, she was put in a corner and she had to push through. Comparing Karisma’s character reel life character to her real life, the actress was asked how did she relate to this and whether she could recall a similar situation in her real life where she had to fight back. She said, “That was the most interesting part for me. You don't really see these things with your average Indian female protagonist. Sometimes our characters are made to be superhuman. On the contrary, with Rita we get to see someone who is so beat up and so down and out. I just feel that going through a life journey, you see people, you see things happen in your life and other people's lives. And these are real human emotions that you experience. I think that's what touched me about Rita Brown, that she was so real and raw. Her thought process and her body language is not that of a typical heroine or a typical Indian character. She has not been portrayed as a typical woman. She is totally different.” Brown also stars Helen, KK Raina and Jishu Sen alongside Karisma, Surya Sharma and Soni Razdan and shall be one of the first series to follow a police procedural in an emotionally twistful manner. The Berlinale Series Market is a joint initiative of the European Film Market, the Berlinale Co-Production Market and Berlinale Talents.

Pakistani actress Sajal Ali on friendly equation with Janhvi Kapoor, recalls Mom co-star Sridevi helping her during Bollywood debut: ‘She had a lot of empathy and kindness towards me’ https://ift.tt/C6v8ZQp

Pakistani actress Sajal Ali is currently busy promoting her first international project, Shekhar Kapur’s cross-cultural British romantic comedy What’s Love Got to Do with It? Starring alongside Emma Thompson, Asim Chaudhry, Shabana Azmi, Jeff Mirza, Alice Orr-Ewing, and Oliver Chris, the film releases in the UK in February followed by March 3rd release in India. Amid the promotions, the actress spoke about working with the late actress Sridevi, who passed away in 2018. Speaking to BBC Asian Network during the UK promotions, Sajal Ali recalled how young she was during the shoot of Mom alongside Sridevi. She said that she had developed a good friendship with Janhvi Kapoor who was yet to debut in movies and that Sridevi was guiding her throughout the process of filming the movie. Interestingly, it was also the first movie she worked on. “It was kind of unbelievable for me, sitting in front of her, acting, giving dialogues and stuff like that. You can simply forget everything after simply looking at her. I think an indication of a good actor is that it is important for them to be a good human too. Sometimes you get intimidated seeing actors and they understand that the other person is kind of scared and intimidated. But, if you know, the first thing a good person, a good actor will do is make the other person comfortable. She was that kind of actor. She had a lot of empathy and kindness towards me.” Recalling the scene where she wears a red dress in Mom, she continued, “I got ready and she said ‘Oh, get some curls done to your hair’. She was acting like a mother to me although she was simply a co-star and if she didn’t say anything, it wouldn’t have made much difference. But, just the fact that she actually cared about how I looked and how I can look better, won my heart completely.” Furthermore, when asked about her equation with Janhvi Kapoor, who accompanied Sridevi to the sets of Mom during the shoots, Sajal Ali said that they had become close. The actors had met each other after several years at Filmfare Middle East 2022 award show and the video of the two of them hugging each other had gone viral. She said, “We met after six years after my mother and her mother passed away. Probably because of our mothers as well, we sort of became quite close. I connect with her and she does the same. We used to keep in touch but obviously, she started her career as well and got busy.” Sajal Ali is busy promoting What’s Love Got To Do With It? The story is set between London and Lahore, love and friendship, tradition and iconoclasm. What’s Love Got To Do With It? is a cross-cultural British romantic comedy that follows a documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), for whom, swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr Wrongs, to her eccentric mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay. For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbour Kaz (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an arranged (or “assisted”) marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love. What’s Love Got To Do With It will release in theatres in India on March 3. Meanwhile, the actress is also starring in the Urdu drama Kuch Ankahi.

Revealing details about the same a well-placed industry source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted Rekha to play a prominent role in Heeramandi. However, the actress was reluctant to feature in the series and talks between the two soon fell apart. However, SLB has not given up the idea of having Rekha feature in Heeramandi. As it stands right now, Bhansali is still in talks with Rekha but this time for a much smaller part.” Ask for details of what Bhansali has planned for the actress and the source continues, “Currently, Bhansali is in talk with Rekha to feature in a special song sequence at least. He is adamant on having Rekha feature in Heeramandi even if it for a small part.” While talks between the two continue, the show itself, will explore the cultural reality of Heeramandi, a dazzling district, through the stories of courtesans and their patrons set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s. A mix of love, betrayal, succession, and politics in the kothas (house of courtesans), Heeramandi promises Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s signature style of larger-than-life stories, intricate and soulful characters, and rippling dynamics of a world rife with conflict during a defining time period for India.

"In Yash uncle's films, the women always had an equal part or even slightly better part than the men" - says Rani Mukerji about Yash Chopra https://ift.tt/CigbTQ3

The much-talked-about Netflix docu-series The Romantics, which is a tribute to the legacy of Yash Chopra, YRF, and its cultural impact on India and Indians for the past 50 years, was released on Feb 14th to unanimous acclaim and love. The docu-series features Rani Mukerji, who says she was not just fortunate to find Yash Chopra as a filmmaker and a mentor who shaped her as an artiste but also as a father-in-law! Rani says, "From my childhood, my memory of my favourite films was directed by the one and only Yash Chopra... His name was synonymous with romance. Women wearing white, chiffon sarees, snow-covered mountains, stunning locales, beautifully framed shots, breathtakingly beautiful close-ups of actresses, insanely romantic scenes, and outstanding music and dances!!! These were all part of Yash Chopra movies that were engraved in my mind from childhood! Chandni and Lamhe being my all-time favourites!! " The iconic actress adds, “When I came into this profession and I got to know him personally as a human being, I discovered that he is so much more than just a filmmaker, he was an absolutely amazing person! Him being a versatile and genius filmmaker was given but what actually moved me was when I met the person behind the larger-than-life personality! So down to earth, humble, jovial and so respectful! He had a great sense of humour!! He was always the favourite person at any get-together or function. He had this magnetic energy that always drew all of us towards him, he was full of life and always fun to be around. He never brought his towering personality of being 'The Yash Chopra' with him at any instance." Rani further says, "Over the years I developed a personal relationship with him. When I watched The Romantics for the first time I had a whole perspective of what made Yash uncle so special. I truly believe that it was the influence that Pam aunty had in his life that made him so remarkable in understanding relationships and capturing that aspect on screen. Her presence brought so much love and warmth into his style of romance which he was so revered for. " Rani looked up to Yash Chopra for presenting actresses with dignity and showcased them as towering faces of courage and self-belief. Rani says, "He literally made every Indian aspire to be like the characters that he presented on screen. His actresses were beautiful inside and out! Not only were they presented like goddesses - ethereal beauties but were at the same time very real as people, it was never about external beauty! When you scratched the surface these were people supported by amazing characteristics that made them aspirational and believable at the same time. I truly believe it had to do a lot with Pam Aunty’s influence in his life that drove him to write such beautiful parts for women. I have always been in awe of how he presented his heroines on screen, and secretly always wished to be the quintessential “Yash Chopra heroine “! In Yash uncle's films, the women always had an equal part or even slightly better part than the men. It speaks volumes about him as a filmmaker that he always listened to his heart rather than conforming to the norms! His immense respect for women always showed in the way he presented his heroines!" While Yash Chopra is celebrated unanimously for his mastery of the romance genre, Rani considers him to be a filmmaker who could stamp his presence across all genres. Yash Chopra’s Darr - a violent love story or Deewar - an anti-establishment family drama that is misinterpreted as an action thriller by many, etc, saw him delivering path-breaking films with varied genres. Rani says, "I don't think there is any other filmmaker who has dabbled in so many different genres in their lifetime. Yash uncle truly knew how to epitomise relationships in films, it was just not a love story it was about true human relationships and that is what he depicted. He was very close to the grassroots of understanding people and relationships which he depicted in his films so brilliantly! She adds, "He was also ahead of his curve like Lamhe was one of those films that trade and the audience didn't accept! Especially for the unbelievable ending! But Yash uncle never shied away from telling a story that he believed in, and as of today, it is one of the most lauded films of his career. What comes across through the documentary and his interviews - is that films were ingrained in his blood."
