Irrfan Khan puts all the films on hold for Paan Singh Tomar

For now, Irrfan Khan is saying no to every assignment being offered to him to focus on the toughest most challenging role of his career. To play the steeple-chase runner in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Paan Singh Tomar. Irrfan Khan is now devoting every waking minute to practicing the steeple chase. He therefore has no time for any other project. "This is the most physically and mentally demanding film of my career. If I give attention to anything else I won't be able to do justice to this role. You see steeple chase is a far more complicated form of marathon run than other kinds. It demands a continuous rhythm as one runs and jumps. It's the most difficult task I've ever undertaken as an actor." Unable to cope with the heavy demands on his body and mind, Irrfan has stopped work on all other projects. "I've steeple- chase experts constantly working on me. I'm trying to stretch my body to its limit. I have to look convincing as this long-distance steeple chase runner. Otherwise the film falls flat. I can't afford that risk at this stage of my career." Says Irrfan, "There're lots of talks for new projects, both national and international. But I'm not signing anything. I have to devote all my time to getting the steeple chase right."

Anil Kapoor to produce an international project starring Sanjay Dutt & himself

Something is brewing between arch-enemies turned jaani friends Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor. And it isn't just Anees Bazmee's comedy No Problem that Anil is producing and Sanjay will star in. It's a far bigger hush-hush project that AK plans to produce featuring the two actors. A very reliable source says, "Anil Kapoor wanted to meet Sanjay Dutt for a long time. But both of them seemed to be too tied up. Finally on Thursday, Anil said he wanted to come over to discuss a very serious matter. Sanjay insisted that he would go over to Anil Kapoor's home since he hadn't visited him for a long time." According to sources Dutt spent a good hour at the Kapoors' residence. He convinced Dutt that an international project featuring the two actors was just what the global market demanded. Says the source, "Anil seems convinced that after Slumdog Millionaire, the West was ready for much more of India. During their conversation, he also said Dutt and Kapoor were the only two stars who could come together to give the international market a run for its money." An international project featuring the two veteran actors is not all that Anil Kapoor had in mind. Says the source, "Anil also formally wanted to sign Sanjay for his home production No Problem. He gave Sanjay a signing amount of Rs. 1 crore which Sanjay refused to take saying he can never accept money from a dear friend. But Anil insisted. He said, 'I let you get away with working free for me when you did the item song in my production Short Cut. But now you're a full-fledged actor in No Problem. Let's be professional about money matters at least.' Sanjay declined at least 5-6 times and then relented." The Kapoor-Dutt international project could happen by the end of this year. Danny Boyle who directed Kapoor to global recognition in Slumdog Millionaire could be roped in to direct. Says the source, "Danny Boyle's name was mentioned. He could direct the two stars. together." And there ends one of the longest-lasting feuds in filmdom. Many years ago, Anil Kapoor had apparently made some remarks about Dutt's family that Dutt hadn't liked and had sworn never to see Kapoor's face let alone work with him. Now, Dutt who has done a jig with Kapoor in Short Cut, will do a full-length comedy No Problem together and will co-star in an international project too.

Big B - Nana together?

Mehul Kumar made a couple of films with Nana Patekar [TIRANGAA, KRANTIVEER, KOHRAM]. This guru of Abbas-Mustan [yes, the director duo assisted Mehulbhai for couple of years before they turned independent] has also made a few films with Amitabh Bachchan. Now Mehul is making the sequel to KRANTIVEER, called KRANTIVEER - THE REVOLUTION. Why did he opt for new names this time? "Because the subject deals with youth. I could've cast established actors, but they would've come with the baggage of a fixed image. As for newcomers, you can mould them the way you wish to," the veteran film-maker says. Mehulbhai had cast Big B and Nana in KOHRAM and one expects him to team them yet again. "I'd love to direct them again. They're brilliant actors. In fact, at the launch party of KRANTIVEER - THE REVOLUTION, when someone asked Amit-ji if there was a possibility of working with Nana again, he instantly answered that if Mehulbhai has the script that would do justice, he'd accept it immediately," Mehul says. So is Mehul approaching them for a film? Most importantly, does he have a script that would excite Bachchan and Nana? "Oh yes, I have a script. I hope to approach them in the near-future. It would be great if this project materialises," Mehulbhai says.

"Who wants to wash dirty linen in public?" - Adnan Sami

Adnan Sami is in the midst of a raging controversy. His personal life is out in the public domain. But the troubled marriage hasn't spilled over to his personal life. "I am least affected by the turmoil. It hasn't affected me," Adnan sounds optimistic, as we sit down for a tête-à-tête on topics ranging from marital discord to acting. "No one's perfect. I am not perfect either," Adnan admits, "I wish we would've sorted out the misunderstandings like mature people and parted ways without making it public. Who wants to wash dirty linen in public?" On the professional front, Adnan is ready to face the camera if the script excites him. Sometime back, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's sister Bela Segal was planning to launch Adnan as an actor in her directorial debut. Adnan isn't new to acting since he has faced the camera before, having acted with ex-wife Zeba Bakhtiar in SARGAM [Pakistani film], which was a huge success. "The script Bela was working on didn't work out for various reasons. I am open to acting offers if the script and the role excite me. I am ready to essay any part except that of a musician," Adnan reveals. Meanwhile, Adnan's 14-year-old son Azaan is ready to follow his father's footsteps. The adolescent is in the process of coming out with his first album. "I am not saying this because Azaan is my child, but you've to listen to his music to believe the kind of work he's capable of. He has composed the songs and also rendered them. The kind of work this 14-year-old has come up with, it's difficult to emulate," Adnan flashes a proud smile while saying this.

Toolbox announces animation feature

Pune-based animation and visual effects studio Toolbox has started work on one of its major IPs, a 90-minute 3D animation feature, scheduled for post 2012 release. Tentatively titled as The Dream Run, the flick is currently in the pre-production stage. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Chetan Deshmukh, Head, Toolbox, shared, "We have finalized the script and are refining the first draft of the screenplay. We have also designed the characters and are now looking for dialogue writers who can add flavour to the script." "The look and feel of our movie will incorporate different styles of animation. Some of the ambience and environments have also been finalised," he informed. The movie, which is being worked on by close to 10 artists for a few hours every day, will be primarily in English and will be later dubbed in Hindi and other languages. "The product which we are working on is not only an India-centric but one that will also address a wider spectrum of audiences. Besides India, we will look at releasing the film internationally, primarily in UK." Budgeted at close to Rs10 crore, the initial funds for the movie are being contributed through internal accruals. The studio will look for financers when it reaches the production stage. Talking about the animation film market in India, Chetan said, "We have a good market for animation features in India but the studios, audience and distribution channels haven't matured enough as yet to embrace this business. Animation movies going on box-office don't compete with other animation features but with Hindi live-action feature films." "Animation has neither been a part of our culture, nor have we grown with it. If we compare ourselves to the West, the revenue model (here) is beyond the box-office. People opt for licensing and ancillary rights to generate the major chunk of revenues from their product," he concluded.
