Source: NDTV Entertainment News | 9 Feb 2009 | 5:13 pm Slumdog team eyes Oscars
Source: NDTV Entertainment News | 9 Feb 2009 | 4:49 pm A tribute to the music maestro A. R. RahmanHollywood's bigwigs let out a collective twitter of nervous laughter when A. R. Rahman took the stage for his Golden Globe win. It was probably because they couldn't wrap their tongue around his name, mispronouncing it no less than three times but the humble maestro, gracious as always, acknowledged his surprise and gratitude at receiving the award by thanking the Slumdog Millionaire team and India's billion strong. Rahman has had a predictably busy year working on Ghajini and Yuvvraaj's soundtracks among others and completed the masterly record in very little time. The movie, accused of packaging romanticized poverty to First World audiences that are equally guilty of lapping it up, is rich in its eclectic score. The glocal vibes have him collaborating with M.I.A., Gulzar, Ila Arun, Alka Yagnik, Suzzanne D'Mello, known for her Western approach to singing and rap artist Blaaze. So, compelling is the story and the soundtrack that screenwriter Simon Beaufoy wants to make a musical of it. The movie about a boy from the slums who wins a fortune on India's version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Launched many faces but it brought Rahman the international recognition he so deserved. The musician's first success came with Mani Ratnam's Roja which even made Time magazine's list of 100 best movie compilations in the world. His tunes stand out for their longevity. In an industry that's sometimes stifled by the demands of playback music, Rahman's syncopations have managed to go off the beaten track and garnered both critical and popular acclaim. It isn't hard to believe that two of the artiste's most appreciated soundtracks in recent times come from underdog movies Guru and Slumdog Millionaire. Young Rahman had a musically rich upbringing, but after his composer father R K Shekhar's premature death, the family had to rent out instruments to make ends meet and the maverick ventured into music making himself. "It's a very strange thing....actually going back to my childhood story. I experienced most of the disappointments in my life at that time. So whatever happens now, I suspect that hope, I always suspect that happiness. And even that moment of happiness doesn't exist because am waiting for how it's going to fool me and give me a kick again." The impossibly mild mannered and soft-spoken composer had a hard time escaping the shadows of his keyboard at first. "I have to deliver my music to the public. Slowly, changed myself and started singing and began to extend myself as much as could... to the limits that could go. But I'm still not comfortable." And it's a good thing he did too. His visceral rendition of Vande Mataram earned him the wrath of a few old schoolers but brought out a previously dormant patriotic zeal in the younger generation. The Mozart of Madras' repertoire includes recent epic Jodhaa Akbar, coming-of-age flicks like Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na and work on international productions like Elizabeth: The Golden Age and The Lord of the Rings musical. His win doesn't mean he's kicking back though. He's already in Chennai working late into the night on a Rajnikanth production. "I'm very restless during the day because there are so many things happening. It's very distracting. I work from three p.m. to early morning. When I have mixing to do, I start as late as seven in the evening. Then sleep till noon. But this is only when I'm in Chennai; not when abroad; there, work times are more regular." That Rahman has stood the litmus test is evidenced by the fact that his tunes linger on long after the movies they were associated with fade to the recesses of the mind. Strongly inclined towards philanthropy, the genius established the A. R. Rahman Foundation and continues to work with it to rid the world of poverty. At the time this article was written, he had earned a BAFTA nomination and three Oscar nominations and a win seems only imminent. The accolades are paving a new path for him. It doesn't much matter then that a former alien-chasing FBI agent called him Reh-moon at the GG's, his melodies win over The X-Files any day of the week.

The fact that Nikhil's earlier film Salaam-e-Ishq was a big dud didn't help his cause either. While Nikhil seems to have taken things in his stride, the media and gossip-mongers don't seem to stop with their Nikhil-bashing. Recently, there has been a lot of talk doing the rounds that Nikhil's forthcoming directorial venture Chand Bhai (supposedly starring Akshaye Khanna and Vidya Balan) has been shelved. We decided to check with Nikhil if there is any truth to this story or whether it is just a figment of somebody's imagination. "No there is no truth to this story whatsoever. Chand Bhai is very much on. It's just that we have pushed the starting of the film to somewhere around July as a very close family friend has taken ill. You will hear an announcement on the status of the film very soon", says Nikhil. Well, we hope, at least this clarification from Nikhil would put all rumors to rest.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 9 Feb 2009 | 4:14 pm Gul Panag and Vinay Pathak get into a liplockDownload Straight wallpapers One didn't really see it coming but it has actually happened. Gul Panag and Vinay Pathak have got into a lip lock for their upcoming film Straight and even though no one associated with the film is making much noise about it, it is certainly going to be one of the highlights and a talking point about Straight once it comes closer to the release. Directed by Parvati Balagopalan, who had earlier made Rules - Pyaar Ka Superhit Formula [Milind Soman, Meera Vasudevan], Straight is about a man called Pinu Patel [Vinay Pathak] who has a complex that is a virgin and has experienced no intimacy with a woman. He becomes close to a woman called Renu [Gul Panag] and it is during one of their intimate moments together that they end up kissing and later making love with each other. But there is an issue. Pinu fears that he is probably a gay courtesy an accidental kiss planted on his lips by a man. Coming back to the kiss between Vinay Pathak and Gul Panag, the lady of the moment believes that it's unnecessary to have such big noise being made about her on-screen kiss. She merely says, "What's the big deal if I have kissed Vinay in the film. After all, it's a part of my job." Well, one must have to agree with Gul here since if one looks at her track record, each of her films that have released so far have seen a kiss from her. Even though Gul isn't willing to speak much about this in spite of much prodding, an actor who has worked with her goes on to analyze, "I guess she is a true kissing queen. It's just that she hasn't spoken much about it. Maybe her kisses haven't made much news since each of them has always been very aesthetically done. There hasn't been any hint of vulgarity in her films so far and hence they were not controversial enough to be making headlines. Also, Gul's acting talent by itself has always overshadowed anything else due to which things like a kiss go unnoticed." Well, they may have gone unnoticed in films like Hello, Manorama - Six Feet Under or Summer 2007 but the fact remains that Gul has never ever thrown tantrums about the kissing sequences. So, here is looking forward to Straight and the love story of Pinu and Renu! With a lip lock intact!Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 9 Feb 2009 | 3:35 pm Cate Blanchett to replace Sienna Miller in Robinhood movie?Rumours are rife that Cate Blanchett is to replace actress Sienna Miller in Ridley Scott's forthcoming Robinhood movie 'Nottingham'.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 9 Feb 2009 | 3:30 pm Sonali Bendre graces the cover of Good HousekeepingShe is someone who had set not just the ramp of fire, but also the whole of Bollywood.

The latest to face such rough weather is the SRK - Irrfan Khan starrer Billu Barber. The film's title was found derogatory by members of the Salon and Beauty Parlour Association. The President of the Association, Mr Uday Takke, had requested SRK to change the name of the film and remove the word 'Barber' from the title. His explanation was that the term 'Barber' not just denotes an occupation but is also a caste. After much deliberation and talks between the parties involved at SRK's residence Mannat over the weekend, Shah Rukh Khan has decided to drop the word 'Barber' from the title of the film with immediate effect. The film is now called Billu and posters of the film have also made the necessary change. Shah Rukh didn't want his film to run into any unnecessary trouble nor did her want to hurt the sentiments of a certain section of the society and hence the change. Hope audiences are as excited to see Billu as they were to see Billu Barber.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 9 Feb 2009 | 12:51 pm Desi 'Angelina Jolie' Esha Gupta to make her Bollywood debutIts common news that Bollywood has tried and still is trying to ape its western counterpart Hollywood. However, now we hear that Bollywood is all set to get its very own Angelina Jolie, what's more this lass is all of 22 years and is ready to make her debut in the world of films. The girl in question is the former Miss India finalist Esha Gupta, who will be making her entry in tinsel ville with the film Hum Aap Aur Pyaar, a romantic comedy set in South Africa. The film is being produced by the Desai Brothers. Esha had earlier taken the fashion industry by storm, and ever since then has continued to make waves in the world of glitz and glamour. However, it was her stirking resemblance to the Hollywood bombshell Angelina Jolie that made Bollywood sit up and take notice of the Delhi beauty. We bet that a girl who is about to make her debut in films and is already being compared to one of the world sexiest women feels on top of her game right now. The film Hum Aap Aur Pyaar wasn't planned and just happened is what we always hear, but we are told that this was just chance as the producer Dhanesh Desai wanted to introduce a new girl, but was unsuccessful. Later while they were holding an audition in Delhi, before the actual event, the producer, his brother and the director were stunned to see Angelina walk in. Nevertheless, they soon realized that it was Esha and after a quick casting and audition routine she bagged the role.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 9 Feb 2009 | 12:35 pm Twin win for India at international music awardsIndia triumphed on the global music arena with two of its music maestros - composer A.R.
