"Slaps that we got after The Train and The Killer were important" - Raksha Mistry

For director duo Raksha Mistry and Hasnain Hyderabadwaala, Jashan wasn't an easy assignment. After all box office wasn't too kind to them in spite of two reasonably entertaining films [The Killer, The Train] while they were charged with lifting scripts from Hollywood sources. However, they promised to make something out and out original once they were set out to make their third film. The result was Jashnn where they had Bhatt brothers backing their dream. However, life hasn't been all bed of roses for them as even till the eve of the film's release, they have been bombarded with queries around Mahesh Bhatt being the driving force for the film. In a conversation with Joginder Tuteja, Raksha Mistry sets the record straight and hopes that eventually it will be the film that would do all the talking and ultimately film lovers would realize that Jashnn has a lot more to it than the mystery surrounding the direction credits. There have been talks about Mahesh Bhatt being a creative force in the making of Jashnn, which is actually a fair deal. However, were you expecting or rather seeking it as well from Day One? Let me start from the very beginning. When we started scripting Jashnn, we realized that Mahesh Bhatt was taking the film quite personally. Somehow Bhatt saab's journey in life is very similar to that of the character that Adhyayan plays in the film due to which I could see him getting attached to the project. Because of this, we requested him to be on the sets because that would have only added value to the project. However, media has its own way of looking at things as they were blown out of proportion and it was being declared that he has directed the entire film! Bhatt saab's journey in life is very similar to that of the character that Adhyayan plays in Jashan. But he did direct a few scenes, right? There is a technical definition of direction and as far as our film making education goes, he was 'aiding' in a few scenes, not 'directing' them. He helped in those scenes where there were some real life references because he could help the actors bring in the kind of intensity that the characters felt. Saying anything more than this would be just repeating the obvious! Going back in the past, The Train didn't work in spite of Emraan Hashmi, hit music and some good thrilling moments. Have you ever asked yourself, why? Yes, I have and the first thing that comes to my mind is that it was revealed even before the release of the film that the character played by Geeta Basra was negative. I mean that was THE fulcrum of the movie and since the entire country had seen Derailed, the surprise factor was gone. I was just hoping throughout that the suspense won't leak out but it did eventually. For a thriller, the biggest plus point is the suspense quotient and our film failed in that very aspect! The kind of slaps that we got after The Train and The Killer were important us and we knew that in our third attempt, we had to work on an original And you swore off doing remakes forever, right? See, at that time we were nobody who wanted to be somebody; something which is also the pitch for Jashnn. Hasnain and I had been assistants to renowned directors and had seen a fair share of struggle. Now after making two movies, life did teach us a lesson. The kind of slaps that we got were important for us and we knew that in our third attempt, we had to work on an original. From Emraan Hashmi to Adhyayan Suman, the casting did see a change, isn't it? I wanted the casting perfectly right for Jashnn. Even if I had to go to hell and back I would have only settled down for what I wanted. I told this to Mukesh-ji and discussed around getting the right faces in. He just said that since Vishesh Films doesn't work with stars but actors, we had to get the hunt going. He gave us complete freedom to choose the right faces as directors. Today, my best compliment has come from Bhatts who have acknowledged that Jashnn has been cast quite well. We treated Adhyayan as if Jashnn was his launch pad For Adhyayan too it's a big film, right? Yes, we treated Adhyayan as if Jashnn was his launch pad. In fact he himself believes that. At the end of the day, this is his first solo hero project and the whole film rests on his shoulders. Any specific guidance that you had to give him before you began the shoot? We mainly told him that he didn't have to act. He had to bring in his real life experience into the film while keeping all the 'filmiyat' at home!

Creating New York in Philadelphia

New York Who would have guessed that one could shoot most parts of a film in Philadelphia and call it New York? A far cry from yesteryear's' films that used cardboard cut-outs for the sun and the moon, the art of visual effects (vfx) has progressed by leaps and bounds enabling filmmakers to use computer technology to save on crucial time and money.

In this exclusive case study, we bring you some of the exciting shots executed by TATA Elxsi VCL, courtesy VCL Creative Director Pankaj Khandpur and Yash Raj Films.

"My character is much more contoured and substantial" - Anjana Sukhani

Why was Anjana Sukhani's role increased in Jashnn? According to the buzz Anjana was initially the 'looker' while Shahana Goswami was designated the 'performer' in Jashnn, quite like John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan in Dostana. Then somewhere along the way the tables turned. The looker's role was suddenly expanded. Could Anjana's warm friendship with Adhyayan have a hand in this? The girl shrugs off the insinuation. "Why only Adhyayan? Shahana and I are also buddies. All three of us have bonded beyond petty rivalry." Anjana admits her role has been increased drastically. "To begin with I was only supposed to play Adhyayan's love interest while Shahana playing his sister had all the meaty scenes. Then Mahesh Bhatt Saab saw a portion of what I had done and decided to increase my role. He called me aside and said, 'Anjana we thought we'd use you only for the romance. But there's so much more that you seem to be conveying.' He told me they had changed their mind about my role." Anjana's role was re-written by Mahesh Bhatt. "Now my character is much more contoured and substantial. Earlier I was just this girl cheering and encouraging Adhyayan. Now I'm his character's backbone and support system." Wonder where that leaves Shahana 'the performer.' Anjana says her co-star is very happy for her. "All three of us are supporting one another's dreams. We'd rather rock together than rock the boat. Strangely both Shahana and I are being linked with Adhyayan. I'm also supposed to be responsible for Adhyanan's breakup with Kangna. Have a heart! I'm here to act, not break relationships." Anjana is also appalled by hushed whispers about her other co-star Rehaan Khan in Kabir Sadanand's Tum Milo Toh Sahi. "At this rate no man would want to come close to me thinking I'm already in another relationship."

Case in point: Amitabh Bachchan's celebrated look in the evergreen number 'Ke Pag Ghunghroo Bandh Meera' from the film Namak Halal is still fresh in our minds and guess what Big B will be seen once again in a similar avatar in Eros International's Aladin. Mr. Bachchan will be seen grooving to a peppy number called 'O Re Sawariya' in Aladin in a similar kind of white kurta and pink pagadi which he once donned in the cult classic Namak Halal. In this sequence, Jacqueline's character (Jasmine) is trying to woo Riteish (Aladin) while Amitabh Bachchan (Genius- The Genie) keeps popping into the scene at various points. Says director Sujoy Ghosh, "We had no intentions of repeating his look from Namak Halal. It is purely a coincidence but it definitely shows how the actor has impacted our minds over the years through his cult performances." Talking of the song, Sujoy adds, "' O Re Sawariya' is a fun filled number and Mr. Bachchan has added an extra charm to it with his unique style and unbeatable energy. We had a great time filming this song and I am sure audiences will love it too". The song is picturised on Mr. Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh & Jacqueline Fernandes and choreographed by Bosco Ceaser and Saroj Khan. The music is composed by by Vishal and Shekhar. Produced by Eros International in association with Sujoy Ghosh's production company Boundscript, Aladin.is a contemporary look at the classic fairy tale packed with fun, music, masti, action and adventure. The film is expected to arrive in theatres this Diwali.

"I went to collect some school funds from Satish Kaushik and he offered me Teree Sang" - Sheena ...

Launch Vehicle My debut film Tere Sang deals with a very serious issue of teenage pregnancy. I play a 15-year-old high school student in the film, who falls into serious trouble when she gets pregnant. The film is very simple and I am sure every girl will be able to relate to my character, Mahi. She is a happy-go-lucky, chirpy girl but everything changes due to this one incident, but her boyfriend (played by Ruslaan Mumtaz) stays by her side throughout. They face the situation bravely and deal with it in a responsible manner. Casting Coup I had to collect some funds for school and was at my family friend, lyricist Sameer uncle's house. He suggested that I go to collect funds from his friend Satish Kaushik. I agreed and when I went there he offered me the money along with a role in Tere Sang. He said he wanted to cast someone young and I suited the part perfectly. I loved the role and thought it would be the best role with which to start my career. Stepping-Stone I have done a three-month acting course and a couple of dance courses from Shiamak Davar and Ganesh Acharya. I am also learning Kathak under the guidance of Uma Dogra. First Shot I can't reveal much about the shot because that will give away the film's plot. It was a very serious shot and I was actually nervous. I had butterflies in my stomach and felt all jittery when I faced the camera for the first time. But things fell into place once the camera started rolling. Stumbling Block I actually didn't expect that I would get my break this easily. But there were a few scenes in the film, I was apprehensive about. Ruslaan and me had to do a couple of intimate scenes and I had my doubts about it. When Satish-sir got to know about this he assured me that the scenes would be aesthetically shot. Later when I saw the outcome I was absolutely convinced that the shot was far from being vulgar. Lessons Learnt I have just started out and have a long way to go. As an actor you have to keep learning. The day you say that you have learnt enough, you stop being self-critical. That attitude shouldn't be there. Everyday should be a new lesson for you. Matinee Idol I have always admired my mom, yesteryear's actress Sadhana Singh. She has been a great source of inspiration for me. I am also in awe of Shah Rukh Khan and am really keen on working with him. I also look up to Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor. They conduct themselves very well. Future Projects After Tere Sang I am working on a Telegu film. As for Hindi films talks are still on. Screen India

"Bhatt saab can bring emotions out of a rock" - Adhyayan Suman

Adhyayan Suman is honest enough to admit that it was a scary experience to be working in Jashnn. No, not scary in a manner similar to that of working in a horror flick like Raaz - The Mystery Continues but 'emotionally and mentally' scary! After all, he got a platform where he was the sole lead in the film, was being backed by Bhatts who have launched quite a few careers and last but not the least, being aware of the fact that quite a few prying eyes were expecting him to fall down. Talking to Joginder Tuteja, he shares his apprehensions about being the main lead in Jashnn, his relationship with Mahesh Bhatt, his conviction in director duo Raksha Mistry and Hasnain Hyderabadwala and how, in spite of a Haal-E-Dil and a Raaz - The Mystery Continues behind him, he still considers Jashnn as his real launch pad! Win of an underdog, is that the best way to describe Jashnn? I would probably say that. It is a small film as far as the budget is concerned. However, content wise it is big. It's a beautiful story put together which is emotionally quite rich. (Mahesh) Bhatt saab has extracted beautiful performances from everyone. The film is being widely publicized as a film about 'a nobody who wants to be somebody'. And that's just the apt way to describe the film. See, we all have dreams and want to become something in life. Aakash, the character I play, wants to become rock star. Jashnn is the story about his struggle, how he achieves success and his relationship with his sister (Shahana Goswami) who is someone's (Humayun Saeed) mistress. I knew at the bottom of my heart that Raksha and Hasnain would be eager to give a hit Raksha (Mistry) and Hasnain (Hyderabadwaala) have earlier suffered two setbacks in the form of The Killer and The Train. Weren't you worried about signing Jashnn? For me there were three factors that made me sign Jashnn. a) It was a film being made under Vishesh Films banner, b) Raksha and Hasnain for sure know their job and c) My own debut film Haal-E-Dil was a flop. You know, people grow with experience and I knew at the bottom of my heart that Raksha and Hasnain would be eager to give a hit and they would work even harder in Jashnn. I believed in their conviction; I still do! I am a part of the Bhatt camp, I am proud of that So in a way, is Jashnn a launchpad for you? Yes, this is indeed my launch pad. It's my first solo film and now I have got full opportunity to prove myself as an actor. (Mahesh) Bhatt saab has been an immense helping hand. In fact it was scary for me while doing the film because I had an entire film on my shoulders. I knew that I couldn't afford to mess up and I sincerely hope that the film does well. I am nervous and anxious because people would be scrutinizing me differently this time around. They are bound to say that Raaz - The Mystery Continues worked because it had bigger stars like Emraan (Hashmi) and Kangna. With you continuing to work with Bhatts, is there a case of a 'camp' building in? There are quite a few people who ask me if I believe in camps. Well, my answer to that is 'yes'. Indeed there is a camp system in the industry. It is in fact very difficult to break into camp and work with people there. So, if I am a part of the Bhatt camp, I am proud of that. In fact when I work in the outside banners, I would look at similar treatment in their films as well. I got a family like treatment from the Bhatts and they love and respect you like anything. I am spoiled now. When you have Bhatt saab there on the sets to take care of acting, you don't get much worried Raksha and Hasnain have been mentioned stating that Jashnn is an absolute original work by them. Is that indeed true? Yes, it is a very-very original film and not a copy of anything. In fact it is also a lot about Bhatt saab's own experiences in life. He was very close to the story because it is about people who want to be somebody. He in fact even helped writing the scenes by bringing in his own personal experiences. When Mukesh Bhatt commissioned Jashnn, what were some of the guiding principles for you before you got started with the film? First and foremost, it was very important for me to be focused. I couldn't have let my focus get diverted. Jashnn is a very difficult film as far as acting is concerned due to heavy emotions and drama. However, when you have Bhatt saab there on the sets to take care of acting, you don't get much worried. After all he can bring emotions out of a rock.

Four Bollywood directors feature in Neil starrer Tera Kya Hoga Johnny

Anurag Kashyap Anurag Kashyap has developed quite a taste for acting. After playing a director in Zoya Akhtar's Luck By Chance, he's back in Sudhir Mishra's Tera Kya Hoga Johnny. And Sudhir is so impressed by Anurag's acting abilities that he has already signed the Dev D director for a pivotal role in Mishra's next project later this year. And Anurag isn't the only filmmaker playing a part in Mishra's film. "Tera Kya Hoga Johnny stars four directors, Anurag Kashyap, Aditya Bhattacharya, Ashok Pandit and of course me. I am not seen on screen though," informs Mishra. Sudhir is not too pleased with his own acting skills. "I saw what I was capable of in Traffic Signal. Madhur Bhandarkar insisted on having me play the Don. I didn't like my performance at all. In Tera Kya Hoga Johnny only my back appears on screen." Anurag Kashyap, however, has a full-fledged role. Informs Sudhir, "Audiences will get to see Anurag as a full actor, close-ups and all. Anurag has a great screen presence. In fact I've signed him for my next film as well."

Wishing Katrina Kaif a very happy Birthday

Katrina Kaif Only a handful of years ago, exactly on this day, a phenomenon called Katrina Kaif was born to a Kashmiri Muslim father and a British Christian mother. Much before her graduation from the prestigious Harvard University, life gave her a lifetime opportunity to graduate from being a mere Katrina Kaif to THE Katrina Kaif! This opportunity came in the form of a casting agent, who, we are sure was far more farsighted than even Nostradamus, since he spotted Kats' futuristic full fledged romance with name, fame and fortune at the very moment he saw her! Katrina, like any wise girl, traced her way to Bollywood, courtesy, the Boom-bastic director Kaizad Gustad. Boom, which happened to be her debut film, showed the world the 'face of the future Superstar'. What followed after Boom were an array of films like Sarkar, Namaste London, Singh Is Kinng, New York ... a few of the many names that gave Katrina her much deserving position that she was simply destined for: Numero Uno! Folks, it's our heartfelt privilege of the highest order to invite you to please join Bollywood Hungama as we wish her a very happy Birthday, simply by posting your wishes below:
