Farhan Akhtar has a lot of exciting things lined up in 2008. While it is common knowledge now that he will playing the lead and even singing in Abhishek Kapoorâs film titled Rock On, Farhan has even planned his next directorial venture this year. No itâs not the sequel to the SRK starrer Don (that may still have to wait). Farhan is all set to start a film titled Voice from the Sky which is based on the communication system. The film would be set in the period when the telephone had become the new means of communication. Incidentally, this is a story which Farhan had in mind for a long time but feels that now is the right time for such a film with the multiplex culture offering film-makers to experiment with a variety of off-beat stories. As for the cast and crew, Irrfan Khan is one of the names being considered and has even quite liked the script. Farhan would also be seen in sister Zoyaâs film Luck By Chance which goes on floors this April.Source: Indiafm.com News | 5 Jan 2008 | 11:15 am
"My films are being sold quite well" - Rituparno
Reports in the press that many of the prolific Rituparno Ghosh's films lie unsold and uncared-for, have the prolific Bengali director unperturbed. "It all started with a report in Kolkata that was picked up on the websites. Now we've Mumbai papers reporting how my completed films have no buyers. How thoughtful of them to show such concern. Thank you. But my films are being sold as and when they should be." The director explains, "You see the rules of film distribution are different in Bengal. They're made by producers and released without long marketing procedures. I'm afraid these alarmist reports have no basis. Just because I'm unavailable for comments they make up stories. To even get perturbed by such reports is demeaning my position." Rituparno has just completed the first schedule of Sab Charitra Kalpunik (all characters imaginary), Bipasha Basu's first Bengali film. "The next schedule was from 10 Jan. But now it starts from Jan 28 because Bipasha wants to complete the film in one long schedule. It's been a very fruitful experience for both of us. I think Bipasha has discovered new facets to her acting talent."Source: Indiafm.com News | 5 Jan 2008 | 9:25 am

Rani-Saif's special bonding over Kareena in Bangkok
Ever since they did Hum Tum and Tara Rum Pum together, Rani and Saif have shared a very special platonic friendship. "Rani is one co-star I can open my heart to. She's a pal. And she truly listens," says Saif. Rani and Saif had plenty of time to bond even better in the weeks that they spent together in Bangkok shooting for Kunal Kohli's new untitled film where Rani plays a nanny to Saif's character's kids. Says a source close to both the actors, "Since Rani doesn't have more than one costume change in the film there was plenty of extra time to converse with her co-star. Saif and she were constantly huddled together. And their topic of conversation? Kareena! Being away from Mumbai Saif was missing his âladyloveâ all the time. He couldn't help talking about Kareena all the time. Moreover, Rani was attentive and sympathetic. She not only gave Saif a sympathetic shoulder, she even convinced Saif of what a wonderful girl Kareena is⦠not that he needed convincing." Rani's new fondness for Kareena is a surprise, considering their long-standing hostility. The two leading ladies started off as pals during the shooting of Kunal Kohli's Mujhse Dosti Karoge. But somewhere down the line, like all filmy friendships among female actors, the Rani-Kareena dosti soured. Hence, there was a collective gasp of surprise when in a recent interview Kareena singled Rani out as a good actress. Says a source, "Kareena has lately softened towards Rani. This change of heart was because of the way Rani heard Saif out on his love.â With so many filmy friendships going kaput, here is one renewed bonding between the two Bollywood beauties worth a mention.Source: Indiafm.com News | 4 Jan 2008 | 12:34 pm
