"It does take a lot to stand in front of Kangana and Priyanka." - Mugdha GodseClick above for more stills What does Mugdha Godse have that Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Celina Jaitley, and Dia Mirza want? It seems the hottest role any Bollywood celebrity can win right now is to appear in a glamorous film based on the Fashion industry directed by India's National Award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar. One of India's top models, Mugdha has been getting the Press, the exposure, the lifestyle, the men... (If she found one) and more importantly, the money - all the goodies usually reserved for celebrities. But come October 29, all this might just not matter as she needs to prove in her debut film that like her above contemporaries she too can act. Will her catwalk from the ramp to tinsel town be steady? Will she be another model who can or cannot act? And will Fashion prove that Madhur Bhandarkar has indeed found a diamond called Mugdha Godse? Bollywood Hungama's London correspondent Devansh Patel finds out the answers and much more from the new Fashion diva. It's ramp-age time!! Wow, what a discovery. You think Madhur has found a diamond. (Laughs) Madhur Sir has definitely found a diamond. Yeah, I am really glad that I'm a part of Fashion in a huge way. But I guess, I have to give credit to myself also because it does take a lot to stand in front of Kangana and Priyanka. Therefore, I just hope that I manage to do that. So far so good. I have to give credit to myself also because it does take a lot to stand in front of Kangana and Priyanka. It must've been a lot easier to act as a model in your debut film as you are a model by profession too? It does sound good and easy from your end and you do get a psychological support but it's not a piece of cake. My character is nothing close to what I am in my real life. Not the kind of a person or a model. So it's a completely different journey I'm playing in a film. So for me it was different. Acting and modeling are two different genres all together. In Fashion I'm not the kind of a ramp model that I'm off screen. So what is Mugdha Godse in real life? Mugdha Godse is a very simple girl. She is a bit shy also and not at all classy and I'm being frank here. I'm very bohemian and hippy by nature. Mugdha is a middle class girl, which Janet is not in the film. I am chilled out too. Mugdha Godse is a very simple girl, shy, not at all classy. I'm very bohemian and hippy by nature. No wonder the chilled out girl is getting the chills already? Yes, I am getting the chills right now and can't wait for Fashion to release this Diwali. Tell us a bit more about Janet, the role you play in the film. Janet has a heart of a gold and she is not a highly successful model. It's a journey of a character and how she helps other people. Few incidents happen in her life and she has to take some important decisions that leads to a few things. Fashion is an emotional journey for Janet. She is bold, outgoing and an outspoken girl. Her language is completely different and she has been in the Fashion world for quite long to know what happens in front and behind the scenes. Being a real life model, did you give a tip to your senior co-actor Kangana on ramp walking and what actually happens in the world of Fashion? Not as such because she is a really good actress. She did not need any tips but she did ask me a few times, as to what we did after the Fashion show got over. We used to have a little discussion but I never gave tips to Kangana. I mean, Priyanka is senior to me in modeling. So I guess she should be the right person to give tips. So Miss Mugdha, any trips, or falls on the ramp while filming. (Laughs) No. I haven't fallen off the ramp but on the ramp. And believe me it's very normal. I've done thousands of Fashion shows on slippery stages, so these things are bound to happen once in everyone's career as a model. Madhur is known for his realistic take on his films. Are there any controversial scenes in the film? I don't want to become the culprit by answering that question. You should probably ask this to Madhur Sir. Yeah, but if you can wait for two more weeks, you'll find your answer. Kangana does not need any tips but she did ask me a few times, as to what we did after the Fashion show got over. Who is your favourite Fashion designer? Actually, there are many designers who I like but I'll name a few for you. My favourite is Gavin Miguel who has designed our clothes in Fashion. Then I like Manish Arora and Manish Malhotra. Malhotra is the best in Indian outfits. Then Rohit Bal of course. Without him, the Fashion industry is nothing. Even Wendell Rodericks' outfits are very feminine. I love wearing them. So what exactly does Mugdha Godse wear off screen? You will always find me in my comfortable dresses, my harem pants, and a vest or in my shorts when I'm at home chilling. But when I go out you'll see me very dressed up. Any female models who've inspired you a lot in your modeling career? I am a very big fan of model Jessi Randhawa who also happens to be my close friend. I've seen her ever since I entered the Fashion world. I admire Nina Manuel she has fantastic skin. There are very few models in India who've got their own personalities and manage to carry them off well. I forgot another name here, Carol Gracias. They all are my friends but I used to look up to them when I started off in my modeling career as they've all been here for almost a decade and I'm only five years old. I am a very big fan of model Jessi Randhawa. Are your friends doing a cameo in Fashion? Jessi Randhawa has done one ramp show in Fashion and then Aanchal Kumar who is a good friend has also done a couple of ramp shows in the film. Let's talk about the opposite sex here. Any male models you've looked up to? (Laughs) I think my last favourite male models were Arjun Rampal and Milind Soman. I have a lot of male model friends but none are hotter than the two I just mentioned to you. Kuch maza nahin aaya baaki sab mein (laughs). My last favourite male models were Arjun Rampal and Milind Soman 'In the Fashion world, you have to give up much more than just your morals'. That's the tag line of the film. Can you elaborate a bit more? Everyone thinks that the film is going to show all the casting couch stories, wardrobe malfunctions, etc. This is what you feel when you hear or see the tag line of the film. But it's all about the emotional journey. When you talk about morals, you talk about how you suppress your emotions and anger. I believe in creating my own moral rather than having it. After the film, do we call you a better model or a better actress? I think a better actress, after you see the film. I can now call myself a veteran in modeling because I've spent half a decade. Acting is something new I've tried and it's worked wonders for me, thanks to Madhur Sir. And quit modeling? I wouldn't say quit. 'Quit' is not the right word. Frankly speaking, modeling will always be there as that's given me the name what I am today in the entertainment world. Yes, I won't be able to give that much time as I used to give before for modeling. But today you see film personalities walking the ramp and doing ad-campaigns, etc. So anything is possible. Any other offers you've got besides Fashion? There are a few offers, which I've got. I have signed a deal with Percept Picture Company for their next film. I'm reading scripts everyday and if something clicks, then I'll definitely do it. I have signed a deal with Percept Picture Company for their next film. What is Madhur Bhandarkar's way of working? Madhur Sir can make any man or a woman act. He made me realize that I can act. When I met him first, I told him, "I can't act because I've never really acted in my life." He confidently said, "Don't worry. Leave it up to me and just listen to me." He opened the right pores and put the right colors in my bottle and I discovered myself as a good actress. I am very thankful to him and I hope that Fashion does as well as Madhur Sir's previous award winning films. How much of a physical change did you have to bring about in your role? Because I've been a model, I was in a proper shape. I didn't have to work on my body but just maintain it. But in the future, if any role demands me to put weight, I'll do that and that's how an actor should be. Now the readers await some of the exclusive Fashion tips from Mugdha Godse herself. Come on, give us some Fashion tips. (Laughs) I don't think any overseas readers require Fashion tips. You are from London and Londoners do not need any tips because they are very Fashionable people but all I can tell them is - Just be comfortable in what you're wearing and try experimenting with things. Wear your attitude and walk; it'll create your own Fashion. Are you afraid of the screen space you'll get in Fashion after it's release? I mean, you're a debutant and the film rests heavily on Priyanka's shoulders. Once you see the film, you'll come to know that. If I can create an impact with one close up in a one-minute promo, I'm sure a few scenes in the film will only make it better. There are going to be hundreds of eyes in the cinema hall. So if you're good, you'll get recognized. Anything exclusive you'd like to mention about Fashion which I've left out on? I think everything is exclusive for me when it comes to Fashion. But I'd like to say that I've had a wonderful experience working with this team. All my co-actors were wonderful and I think I created two beautiful friends the minute I entered the industry - Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut. We talk very often now. And lastly, a big thank you to Madhur Sir for giving me this opportunity. I created two beautiful friends the minute I entered the industry - Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut. A critic reviews films. But Fashion will have two such critics. One from the film world and the other from the Fashion world. Are you prepared for it? When a person like Madhur Bhandarkar makes a film, it's his perception and take on a particular subject. So there are going to be people who are going to criticise and there will also be ones who are going to love the film. The definition of perfection is decided by individuals and not by critics.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 15 Oct 2008 | 3:23 pm Vibrant start to WIFW

Source: NDTV Entertainment News | 15 Oct 2008 | 12:50 pm "Music of Raaz - TMC has surpassed Raaz" - Mukesh BhattPopular music and Vishesh Films go together. In fact, it is nothing but an aberration when music of a Mukesh Bhatt film doesn't find it's way into the catalogue albums for the music company. Jannat, Awarapan, Woh Lamhe, Gangster, Kalyug, Zeher and Murder in the recent years to Kasoor, Ghulam, Sadak and Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin till some years back - it has been one long successful musical journey for the Bhatts. And then of course, there are two milestone albums in the history of Bollywood music - Aashiqui and Raaz. No wonder, the pressure, expectations, and anxiety level are at their peak when music for next in the series of a project like this has to be created. Mukesh Bhatt and Co. faced the same when they decided to make Raaz - The Mystery Continues, a follow up to Raaz. While one waits to see what director Mohit Suri has done in the Emraan Hashmi-Kangana-Adhyayan Suman starrer, the results are already out for the film's music. And if Mukesh Bhatt is to be believed, the film's music has surpassed all his expectations and has turned out to be even better than Raaz, a feat that always seemed impossible to achieve. "Music of Raaz - The Mystery Continues is 101% better than Raaz", says Mukesh Bhatt in a confident tone, "And I am aware that by stating this I am putting my neck under the block. However, with an industry experience of more than a couple of decades, I guess the least I am capable of is ascertaining whether something will work with the audience or not!" Is he really that sure, in spite of the fact that Nadeem-Shravan, the men who immortalized Raaz with their soundtrack, are no more associated with Raaz - The Mystery Continues? "Yes, I am quite sure. Instead of Nadeem Shravan, I have four musicians who have given five songs in total. They are Raju Singh, Toshi, Pranay and Gaurav Das; each of whom has done a fantastic job. I am not an easy nut to crack and they clearly knew that they had to do something extraordinary to find their tunes making it to the final list. We all worked hard to ensure that the music turns out to be yet another milestone in the journey of not just Vishesh Films but also Bollywood music in general," says the proud producer.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 15 Oct 2008 | 12:21 pm Adiga dedicates Booker to people of Delhi - Times of India

Their family's Juhu bungalow which was under construction for the past one year is almost ready. Last year, Esha, her mom and sister moved into a new panoramic home in Goregaon. Though the three ladies loved the far-from-the-madding-crowd atmosphere at Goregaon and had decided to stay put in their sighing haven, the family is now planning to move back to Juhu to their original place. Says Esha, "We miss our old home. That's where all our best memories are. That's where I and Ahana grew up. And that's where all of mom's friends from the industry stay. So yes, we plan to move back as soon as the renovation is done. One of the main problems in our Juhu home was the water logging in monsoon. The elevation work has been done. The outside is complete. And now the interiors are being done." But there were advantages of staying in Goregaon. "Travelling to Film City for shooting is so easy here. That set of an aircraft that they put up at Film City for Hijack was just a hop away. Everyday I'd got into my car and drove straight into the aircraft." Esha's new film has tanked. But had a ball shooting Hijack. "It was an action film. I was an airhostess wearing a skirt. So I couldn't do any stunts. But the interesting part of the film was that I don't have a hint of a romantic association with Shiney Ahuja. Now I'm also doing Shivam Nair's Exchange Offer with Rahul Bose. It's a very contemporary film about a young couple. And working with Rahul is so different from working with any of my other co-stars." Esha also went through a learning experience when she did an item song with Govinda in Money Hai Toh Honey Hai. "I did that number only to work with Govinda. I'm his biggest fan. As a child I used to watch some of his films almost every day. Dancing with him is a joy.

This film, starring two top actors, was well received when it opened a few years ago. Sometime back, the makers had a brainwave of making a sequel to the film, with the two stars of course. However, the makers decided to abandon the project after the prices of the two actors was calculated on paper. It exceeded the budget as also the profits of the first part. * The superstar started the trend of promoting his film to the optimum. Other actors followed suit. This particular actor, who never believed in talking to the media, is now ready to promote his next film aggressively. He has gone to the extent of holding the shoot of his ongoing film for 5/6 days so that he can devote all those days for promoting the soon-to-be-released film.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 15 Oct 2008 | 7:22 am Big hope by the four 'Saviours'Click above for more stills With a number of exciting films slated for release in the forthcoming weeks, the industry is hoping that good fortune knocks on its doors again. While everyone's waiting with bated breath for KARZZZZ -- its distributors are super excited -- another film that's caught the fancy of the industry is Madhur Bhandarkar's FASHION. Knowing Madhur and his forte of handling realistic subjects with élan, FASHION is expected to be an eye-opener. Another film that has got the industry talking is GOLMAAL RETURNS. The sequel to KOI MIL GAYA [KRRISH], MUNNABHAI MBBS [LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI], HERA PHERI [PHIR HERA PHERI] and DHOOM [DHOOM 2] have worked big time. The sequel to GOLMAAL is, thus, being eyed with enthusiasm. Karan Johar's DOSTANA is also being talked about. Although the principal actors [Abhishek, Priyanka and John] haven't tasted success for a while, the man behind this project, Karan Johar, is enough to guarantee a qualitative product. Last but not the least, the promos of Subhash Ghai's YUVVRAAJ have won the hearts of those within and outside the industry. Ghai has to regain his position. Ditto for Salman Khan, who also needs to consolidate his status. In fact, the Mehtas of Ashtavinayak have acquired YUVVRAAJ for a big price, thereby reinforcing their faith in this project. These four films should make a difference to the industry.

The actor, who is known to try out different mediums of entertainment (be it Films/ T.V. / Sports- IPL), is now getting into something which is a shift from the dream world into a world of reality. In case you are wondering what we are talking about, it's the latest project that King Khan is part of called Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard. For the uninitiated, Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard is an AED 8 billion signature beachfront residential development at the picturesque Dana Island in Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven Emirates of the UAE. Besides 10 premium residential towers and its fair share of high-end hotels and commercial complexes, the Boulevard will also have an underwater discotheque and lounge connected by a glass tunnel, a sit-in theatre, a shopping mall, called the Shah Rukh Khan Plaza, and a public square on the beach, the first of its kind in the world. The actor, who was in Dubai recently at the announcement of this mega project, said that this is the first time that he is venturing out into something which doesn't require him to sing and dance around trees. The actor is involved in this project along with UAE's TSA Group which in turn will work closely with L.A. based architect Tony Ashai to make this dream a reality. Shah Rukh also spoke highly of the love and support that he has received every time from fans in the UAE and said that it was always his dream to be involved in such a project that will help in giving people a quality lifestyle experience. Even the first set of print ads of the Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard has the actor talking about things which cant be made real in the world of cinema and how some things work and feel best only when they are real. Whether the Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard will indeed be a 'Real Lifestyle Experience' is something which we would know only when the project is completed in 2012.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 14 Oct 2008 | 12:58 pm Big B to star in PNC's thriller titled The ActorAmitabh Bachchan is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors we have in Bollywood.
