If you don't like the film, which opens on July 11, you can refund your ticket and get your money back. Explaining the motivation behind introducing this never-before customer-satisfaction scheme, the Mukhbiir producer Sudhish Rambhotla says, "When we've money-back guarantee for consumers in other business why not in the entertainment industry? This money-refund satisfaction-guarantee has never been done in the entertainment industry in any part of the world. Movie making is like any mass manufacturing business. So why can't we assure quality to the consumer?" Rambhotla's generous offer comes from his confidence in the quality of the film. "So far, whoever has seen Mukhbiir has been riveted. So I'm confident no one will want back their money. However, if they do, they're most welcome to get back the money." This offer has for now been extended to the first 5000 tickets in the first week of the film's release. "Any patron within the first 5,000 tickets in the first week can mail us the ticket with a refund demand. We'll send them a Demand Draft within 30 days. We've called it the Satisfactory Guarantee Challenge. We're so sure of Mukhbiir that I've already decided to make a sequel to the film. That will be our production company Color Chips' next project."Source: Indiafm.com News | 2 Jul 2008 | 3:50 pm "All my girlfriends have already gone crazy after Imran" - Genelia DsouzaThe promos of Jaane Tuâ¦Ya Jaane Na are rocking big time and you have never looked so good before. So what's the secret with the new glowing look? I am not too sure (laughs). Nothing in particular. With just 2 days to go before Jaane Tuâ¦Ya Jaane Na hits theatres, what's the feeling like? Well, I am very anxious and looking forward to the release. I look at this film as a big opportunity. I hope that people appreciate the film and my work. It's a perfectly young film about youngsters. The film talks about friendship, love, first crush and literally takes you back to your college days The promos of the film show it as a sugar sweet romantic flick. Could you tell us a little more about the film? It's a perfectly young film about youngsters. It's not just a romantic film, though romance forms an integral part of the film. It's also about friendship and the friends play a very important part in the film. The film talks about friendship, love, first crush and literally takes you back to your college days I may not be wrong in saying that no other song has probably popularized a character as much as Kabhi Kabhi Aditi has. So what is Aditi like in the film? Aditi is a brat. She is an extremist. She would laugh out loud and howl and scream and cry. And for her, Jai (Imran) means everything; if someone messes around with Jai then she abuses them with the choicest of expletives. But overall, Aditi is full of life and complete fun to be with. For her Jai (Imran) means everything; if someone messes around with Jai then she abuses them with the choicest of expletives. How much are you like Aditi? Did you identify with the character? Very muchâ¦.except for the fact that I don't abuse like Aditi. I could relate to Aditi as she is very much like how I was during my college days. If I like someone be it a friend or anyone else, then I would go all out for that person even to the extent of being possessive about him / her. So yes, I am very much like Aditi though I feel I have mellowed down a bit now (laughs). Imran is shown as a Darpok and you are shown as completely Bindaas, quite contrary to people's expectationsâ¦What's the rationale behind that? (Laughs) Actually, he is not a darpok. It's Aditi who keeps calling him a darpok. If there is a fight, Jai wouldn't react to it, on the other hand Aditi loves to go out and have a full on fight and punch the living daylights out of that guy. So you can say Jai is a sane kid and Aditi is a complete psycho (laughs). In the film, you call yourself Meow and him (Imran) Ratsâ¦What's with these funny nicknames? Imran's name is Jai Singh Rathore so that's why Ratsâ¦.I am Aditi Mahang and I love cats so that's how Meow (laughs) . Moreover, since she feels he is a darpok, she calls him Rats meaning Chooha. Also, it's only Aditi who has the right and privilege of addressing Jai by the name Rats. Aditi on the other hand is like this kaali-billi and will scratch anyone who takes panga with her or Jai â¦hence Meow. In real life do you have a pet name? Yea, they call me Geenuâ¦.(smiles) Actually, my name Genelia is a combination of my mom and dad's name (Jeaneate and Neil)â¦I keep asking my mom what Genelia means and she says it means rare or unique so I think that's what it means. You worked with Riteish in his first film Tujhe Meri Kasam and now are working with another newcomer Imran. Riteish has gone on to become a big star today. Do you think the Genelia magic effect will rub off on Imran too? Wowâ¦.now that's something which I didn't think about (laughs). To be frank, I don't have a say in Riteish becoming a star todayâ¦.I just hope Jaane Tu worksâ¦.it has this whole QSQT feel which is kinda cute. Also, I hope it works for Imran's sake. I really hope he becomes the next big thing. In fact, all my girl friends have already gone crazy after Imranâ¦so I am pretty sure many more girls will fall for him after seeing the film All my girl friends have already gone crazy after Imranâ¦so I am pretty sure many more girls will fall for him after seeing the film Imran and you are shown as 'Best Buddies' in the film. So was it the same off-screen too? Strangely from the day we met, we hit it off. We even screen tested together. We were super comfortable with each other from the first day itself .In fact, I was whacking him right from Day 1. It was just like how Aditi and Jai are in the film. What's the one thing that annoys you the most about Imran? His euphemism jokes which only he and Abbas understand most of the time (laughs) Abbas has this unique knack of restricting you as an actor but when he tells you something you will do exactly the way he wants it. He is a fantastic actor and storyteller and hence he is such a brilliant director. Jaane Tu⦠has a host of other character artistsâ¦who is your favorite and why? I really like Imran's character. Besides that there is Shaleen's character played by Sugandha whom I was really close with. Jaane Tu is cast so perfectly because Shaleen is the next best friend to Aditi after Jai and even off screen Imran and Sugandha were my best buddies. The initial promos gave an impression of a love story but now it seems like a love triangle with Manjari also in the frameâ¦.Is that the case? I am not telling you that(laughs)â¦..You will have to watch it for yourselvesâ¦.but yes Manjari has a pivotal role in the film. This is Abbas Tyrewala's first film as a director. How was the experience to work with him. He had said in an interview that he is no less of a perfectionist than Aamir â¦Is it true? Yes, Abbas is a perfectionist but he is not a taskmaster. Abbas was more of a friend on the sets. That's his biggest plus point. We didn't have a generation gap with Abbas, generally a director is put on a pedestal but with Abbas, he was like one amongst us. We had workshops in Panchgani which was great fun and we chatted a lot. Abbas has this unique knack of restricting you as an actor but when he tells you something you will do exactly the way he wants itâ¦In fact when I look back, I am simply amazed by his clarity of thought. He is a fantastic actor and storyteller and hence he is such a brilliant director. Did you get any chance to interact with Aamir Khan? How was the experience? Yesâ¦I am one of the lucky few who got a chance to interact with Aamir because Aamir was never on the sets. I met Aamir before I was signed on. My first meeting was with Aamir, Kiran Rao and Abbas. Abbas was skeptical about me because he was hell bent on casting a newcomer for the role of Aditi. It was Aamir who said that "She is perfect for the role. And when someone fits the character so well, one shouldn't really worry if it's a newcomer or a known face". I am so glad that I managed to convince them. The film has some really peppy numbers and some soulful numbers by A.R. Rahmanâ¦.Which one is your personal favorite and why? Definitely 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi'. I was really upset that I had to be sad and mournful during the whole shooting of the 'Aditi' song. I was telling Abbas, "You can't do this to me. This is like a punishment" The moment he said 'Cut'â¦I was like jumping and dancingâ¦It is very difficult to keep a sullen face and shoot for a song like 'Aditi'. I was really upset that I had to be sad and mournful during the whole shooting of the Aditi song. I was telling Abbas, "You can't do this to me. This is like a punishment" Did you ever expect that the song would go on to become such a rage? Yes, because when you are shooting, you usually get bored of a song after repeatedly hearing it. With Aditi it was not the caseâ¦even after pack up we would listen to the song and all the technicians and crew would freak out and dance to the song. That's when I realized we had a hit song Since you were all a bunch of youngsters, shooting must have been like one big picnicâ¦.Any funny / interesting incidents which took place during the shoot Imran likes to tell everyone that he was my spot boy but that isn't true. When we were shooting outside, I had to wash my hair and Imran helped me wash my hair, He actually carried the Bisleri cans so that I could wash my hair with that water. Ever since then he keeps fooling around saying that he is my spot boy. When we were shooting outside, I had to wash my hair and Imran helped me wash my hair. Was Imran given any special treatment considering he was working in his home production? Were you bothered that you would be over-shadowed by all the hype surrounding his launch? No neverâ¦Imran was one of usâ¦He didn't receive any special treatment. As for your second question, I don't know why anyone would be bothered. I am sure the rest of the world wants to know who Imran Khan is more than who Genelia is but that's because it's his debut film and the fact that it's an Aamir Khan Production. Initially, there would be more attention towards Imran but I am glad because all I want at the end of the day is my film to work. Having no backbone in this industry, this is probably the best way for me to get noticed. Jaane Tuâ¦Ya Jaane Na is releasing with yet another biggie Love Story 2050 which marks Harman Baweja's debut. Do you think the clash could have been avoided? I don't know about it. I am working with Harman in one of my future films. He is a fantastic actor and a wonderful co-star. I wonder if he has a spring in his body. His body keeps moving in all possible directions. Since Imran and Harman are both my co-stars, I am hoping the best for both our films because as much as Imran is a co-star, even Harman is a co star. Harman is a fantastic actor and a wonderful co-star. I wonder if he has a spring in his body. His body keeps moving in all possible directions. What else do you have in the pipeline after Jaane Tuâ¦Ya Jaane Na? I have Anees Bazmee's film alongside Harman Baweja. It's the role of a lifetime. The film is a remake of two of my very successful south films down South Though the film looks simple on screen it has been a real task shooting, I am there in every frame of the film even though the film is about a father and son relationship (Nana Patekar and Harman) Besides that I am doing Abbas- Mustan's Life Partner directed by Rumi Jaffrey but it is too early to talk about it now. Finally what makes Jaane Tu⦠different from the countless romantic-comedies which we have seen so far? I honestly believe that a love story does not have to be different. It just has to be relatable. For e.g. whenever my younger brother sees a promo of Jaane Tuâ¦.he says 'Damn this is so much like how I and my friends hang out'. I am sure if all the youngsters feel the same, we have pretty much struck a chord. On a closing note is Genelia in love? (laughs) Right now I would like to say, I am only in love with my work and my dogs.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 2 Jul 2008 | 3:28 pm All you wanted to know about Love Story 2050Are you ready to travel to a world where flying cars zoom past sky-scrapers and robots are there at your service?

They entered the sets with so much of effervescence and energy that the studio audience went crazy. The audience cheered and clapped aloud on seeing their favorite stars together. Salman mischievously introduced Aamir as the man who needs no introduction and said, "Yeh to purush hi nahin hainâ¦Yeh Mahapurush hai!"

In the battle of big guys, one pretty face which seems to be waiting to making a surprise announcement is none other than that of petite Manjari Phadnis. Some may ask, Manjari Phadnis who? Well, she is the same girl who made her debut as a teenage school kid 4 years back in Rok Sako To Rok Lo, only to be seen as a Senior Executive in Mumbai Salsa last year. Though none of the two films really made an impression at the box office, Manjari was noticed for her spirited act. Now she would be seen in Jaane Tuâ¦Ya Jaane Na. "JTYJN has taken 3 years to reach where it is today,â Manjari smiles, "This was the first film which I signed after Rok Sako To Rok Lo but in the interim my Bengali film, Faaltu and later Mumbai Salsa released. Of course, the film's shooting took a lot lesser time but from conceptualization to actual realization, JTYJN has been quite a journey. Now that I really see the film coming to theaters, I get such a surreal feel." How did she keep her chin up in spite of such huge gaps between her films? "It wasn't difficult since I was constantly meeting people and learning newer things. Moreover, Planman Motion Pictures, the first production house with which I worked, have been a constant pillar of support. They have always guided me and I too have made sure that I do not sign any irrelevant projects in spite of a long wait. I was signed by them for three films and after Rok Sako To Rok Lo and Faaltu, I have also finished shooting for I Am 24 which stars Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia and Rajat Kapoor." As indicated by the promos of the film, in Jaane Tuâ¦Ya Jaane Na, Manjari is supposed to be playing Imran's love interest. Is this another love triangle in the making with Genelia Dsouza involved? "That's for you to check out once the film releases on Friday. As for me the only thing I know is that currently I am a lot nervous. I have never been like this before so don't be surprised if you suddenly find me getting really cranky in the course of this conversation," concludes Manjari with a nervous laugh.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 2 Jul 2008 | 9:47 am Sanjay Dutt's wife Manyata's jailed ex re-arrested after escape - South Asian Women's Forum

If her performance in this film was anything to go by, then, one really falls short of words to imagine her in her most eagerly awaited film Jaane Tu...

Most producers are giving a lot of thought, a lot of emphasis on releasing their films on an appropriate date. For, after all, making a qualitative product is important, but ensuring that it gets the right release is most important these days. After all, the stakes are so high these days. While the rumors of SINGH IS KINNG getting postponed [since Akshay's dubbing is still pending] has been refuted by Vipul Shah, there's talk that Ramgopal Varma's CONTRACT might be pushed to August for a different reason completely. Reportedly, RGV's advisors feel that clashing with a feel-good film like KISMAT KONNECTION on July 18 would hamper the prospects of CONTRACT. "I am not bothered," RGV tells me, "In my earlier years, when I was just an avid moviegoer, I would go by my instinct. If a film excited me, I would rush to a nearby theatre. If not, I would ignore it completely. If the audiences find CONTRACT exciting, they would go for it, irrespective of how strong the opponent is." He also makes a valid point on this topic, "Both, SHIVA and JAMES were solo releases. But even the solo status couldn't save them from sinking. A good film works. Period!"

It's Akshaye Khanna with whom Farhan had teamed up with optimum creative satisfaction in his first directorial venture Dil Chahta Hai. Saif who has also teamed with Farhan in Dil Chahta Hai and in fact acknowledges the film as a turning point, opted out of Voice From The Sky a couple of months ago. Revealing the change in cast Farhan says, "Yes, it is Akshaye Khanna. Naam lock kiya jaye. I'm confident. Both Saif and Akshaye are my buddies. I needed an actor of really good caliber, at the same time sensitive sophisticated, a guy who seems extremely hard from the outside but is soft from the inside. Both Saif and Akshaye fitted the bill. Saif didn't work out." Continues Farhan, "There're many reasons why Akshaye works amazingly for the film. Akshaye is damn excited. He loves his role. And I love him in the role. It'd be great fun working with Akshaye again. Fortunately, all the actors I've worked with so far have been a pleasure." The main role of a young boy is yet to be cast. "The story belongs to the boy. But three other characters played by Akshaye Khanna and two women (whom I'm yet to cast) play very important roles in the boy's life. Akshaye's story is integral to the plot. It's an extremely important role. And he's kicked by the script and by the part. Akshaye knows it's a very important part. Otherwise he wouldn't do it." As for the boy⦠"We've a short-list of 12-15 boys now. And no, Darsheel Safary was not considered at all. I 'm looking for a totally untried face." Farhan starts filming Voice From The Sky in November. "Then there's Don 2. Which will have all the actors from the first Don including Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, of course. The story and screenplay are done. Voice From The Sky was scripted right after Dil Chahta Hai. Don 2 I started writing a few months after Don released. So this year I only have releases as an actor. Next year I'll have two releases as a director."Source: Indiafm.com News | 1 Jul 2008 | 2:41 pm Himesh delivers music of Karzzzz on mother's birthdayTrust Himesh Reshammiya to go back to his roots even when it comes to his professional journey. Ever so fond of his parents who shaped his career over the years, Himesh is particularly nostalgic when it comes to acknowledging the respect he has for his mother. He has always believed in doing something auspicious on 29th June, the day when his mother's birthday falls. This is why last year he released his debut film as an actor, Aap Kaa Surroor - The Moviee on 29th June. The trend has now continued in 2008 as well since he has given the delivery of the music track of Karzzzz to Bhushan Kumar on the same day. Informs Himesh's friend, "Himesh bhai wanted the music of Karzzzz to be blessed by his mom on her birthday. The film, music and the songs are extra special since Himesh's voice and music will be heard after a gap of one year. He is very excited about the way the project has turned out to be." When contacted Himesh re-emphasized on the fact that 29th June is a special day for him. He said, "With the blessings of my mother, we saw Aap Kaa Surroor - The Moviee turning out to be such a huge success. The project helped my launch as an actor. Now I am really very happy to give the final delivery of the Master CD of the soundtrack of Karzzzz to Bhushan Kumar on my mother's birthday. With her blessings, I know that God is with me." One hears that getting the right sound for Karzzzz was a painstaking experience. There were quite a few songs that were created before arriving at the final list. Is that true? Confirms Himesh, "Yes, the music of Karzzzz indeed took a long time but I have no regrets. It has given me a lot of job satisfaction. However, the challenge is huge and the expectations are quite high. I am now waiting for the songs to hit the stands so that audience reactions can be gauged." While the film is all set for 17th October release, the music of Karzzzz would be hitting the stands 2 months in advance i.e. in the month of August. Directed by Satish Kaushik, the film sees Shweta Kumar as the film's leading lady with Urmila Matondkar playing the vamp's part. The film also stars Dino Morea, Danny Denzongpa and Gulshan Grover.Source: Indiafm.com News | 1 Jul 2008 | 2:21 pm I'm not bothered about Manoj Kumar: Farah KhanDirector-choreographer Farah Khan has sought to bring the curtain down on a raging controversy over the depiction of Bollywood veteran Manoj Kumar in her film 'Om Shanti Om', saying she isn't 'bothered' about him any more.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 1 Jul 2008 | 2:02 pm Mechanism on anvil to check TV channels' sensationalismThe government is considering a monitoring mechanism to stop television channels from resorting to 'sensationalism' to gain popularity, Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi said Tuesday.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 1 Jul 2008 | 2:00 pm Shekhar is very special to me: Preity ZintaControversies aside, actress-cum-business woman Preity Zinta says she has the deepest...Source: India News | 1 Jul 2008 | 1:39 pm Has Kunal Kohli branched out of Yash Raj?Now that the results of THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC are out [the film has performed well at multiplexes over the weekend, after a slow start], are producers Aditya Chopra and Kunal Kohli regretting the decision of not selling the film to a corporate house that had offered an astronomical amount [62 cr?] for its global rights? "It's true that we were offered a big amount, but I wouldn't like to reveal the exact figure. We refused the offer because Yash Raj wanted to distribute the film themselves. They've a strong distribution network, plus they have the music and Home Video departments as well. It was Adiâs call completely," Kunal informs me, "Adi has always taken the business decisions, while the creative call was mine in all the four films. It has always been that way." Meanwhile, rumours are rife that Kunal isn't too happy with the way Yash Raj has promoted the film and has decided to join hands with a corporate entity for his new film. Translated into simple words, it means Kunal and Aditya have had a fallout. True? "There's no truth to it. Even if you meet them [corporates] casually, people tend to blow it out of proportion. It's assumed that you've inked the deal, which is far from true," he laughs. Point noted!Source: Indiafm.com News | 1 Jul 2008 | 1:39 pm Is 'Sarkar Raj' a hit?

While the movie-going public is not conscerned about its box-office fate after having seen the film, Bollywood trade circles are still debating over claims made by its producers and distributors that it is a 'hit'.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 1 Jul 2008 | 1:30 pm "No postponement of Singh Is Kinng" - Vipul ShahThere're murmurs that SINGH IS KINNG might be shifted ahead [by a week or two] since lead man Akshay Kumar hasnât dubbed for the film. Akki has been living out of the suitcase for a while now [he's currently in Bahamas, shooting for BLUE] and hasn't had the time to fly to India to dub for the film. Perhaps, that may have triggered off this rumour. However, SINGH IS KINNG producer Vipul Shah says that there's no question of postponing the film. But Akshay hasn't dubbed for the film, right? "Akshay is dubbing on 5th, 6th and 7th July in the U.S. In fact, Anees-ji [Bazmee] is leaving for U.S. on 3rd July to personally supervise the dubbing. We should be ready with the first print of the film by 20th July. We have ample time," he sounds relaxed. Vipul continues in the same breath, "Even if we get late for some reason, the first print would be ready by 24th/25th, almost a week before 1st August â the date when the worldwide delivery of prints of SINGH IS KINNG are executed. Our film is definitely arriving on 8th August; thereâre no changes absolutely."Source: Indiafm.com News | 1 Jul 2008 | 1:27 pm
