Randeep Hooda born in a small village called Daseya in Haryana did his schooling from Delhi Public School before moving to Australia for higher studies. He later went on to earn his Bachelors in Marketing & Human Resource Management.
However it was only in '01 that Randeep made his film debut in Monsoon Wedding, apparently he got the role in Monsoon Wedding primarily because of his Australian accent rather then his acting skills or good looks.
Unfortunately even after a powerful performance in Monsoon Wedding he had to wait for 4 years to get a second project. He finally got lucky and Ramgopal Verma cast him as lead in a gangster flick D in '05. D was a turning point in his career and he suddenly became a household name across the country.
And now coming out whit his next film Love Khichdi, Randeep Hooda will be here on Bollywood Hungama Celeb Chat to talk about his life, work, films and every thing else on August 24 at 1600 HRS IST.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 22 Aug 2009 | 6:50 am Actress held for assaulting 10-yr-old maid!Urvashi, a small time TV actress, was arrested Saturday for abusing her 10-year-old domestic help.Source: Zee News : Entertainment | 22 Aug 2009 | 6:39 am Ajay's stunning proposal stunt - IndiaGlitz

Madhur Bhandarkar is surprised around the rumours making the rounds that after Jail; he would be beginning work on Awards. More so because there also appears to be some official 'on-the-record' statements being made by certain individuals when he has personally not announced the film or declared it to the outside world.
"How can people talk or write about it without consulting me", fumes Madhur, who was perplexed when he read about the announcement on one fine morning, "Just imagine, I was myself reading it all for the first time as were you. I was in Sweden earlier this week. When the media was bombarding me with phone calls around the film, I was, in fact asking myself if I was indeed making the film. Some of them even started speculating around the cast of the film which is baffling when there is no script ready in the first place."
It was reported that his film titled Awards, for which there has been (apparently) 40 crores budget being allocated, would reveal behind-the-scenes drama and the inner workings of award functions. Also, it would take a sneak peak into 'camp system' in Bollywood and how awards are manipulated.
"Rubbish", Madhur dismisses it right away, "A subject may interest me and I may talk about it with a few people. Yes, I have considered this concept but I am not making Awards for now. In fact, I have around 10 ideas that I could be developing into films. I even have as many as three titles already registered. But that by no means equates to me going ahead and making a movie straight away. "
Awards sounds certainly scandalous and yet another expose film.
"Arrey, jahan jab dekho expose word judh jaata hai mere naam ke saath", smiles Madhur, "I want to try other genres also yaar. It could be a comedy or a romantic film or even a hard hitting drama. Let's see. In fact currently I am more focused on enhancing the profile of my production house 'Bhandarkar Entertainment'. Through this banner, I would also be roping in outside directors to make films for me."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 22 Aug 2009 | 4:06 am 'Kanthaswamy' a superhero tale with a twistFilm: 'Kanthaswamy'; Director: Susi Ganesan; Cast: Vikram, Shriya Saran, Krishna, Raghuvaran, Vivek, Santhanam, Vinod Raj, Y.G.

In Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey, Amole Gupte plays a Maharashtrian Mafioso. "And I had a ball! I could've made a career in acting in Mumbai. Years ago, I played the lead in Govind Nihalani's brother Dayal's film Gurudakshina. But I was wedded to the camera and the lens, not as an actor, but on much broader level. For ten years, I shifted to painting and lived a life of a painter."
How Amole was persuaded to do Kaminey is a story in itself.
Chuckles Amole, "From the moment the promos started, I was flooded with calls about the film and my look. Acting is an ongoing process. All day along we're acting in one way or another. So, I was never away from it. And in Taare Zameen Par, I lived every character from Little Ishaan (Darsheel) to the English and Hindi teachers Mr. Sen and Mr. Tiwari."
Recalling how he agreed to play the main villain in Kaminey Amole says, "I though it was a crank call. A man's voice named Honey introduced itself as Vishal Bhardwaj's casting director and offered me a very important role, in the same space and zone as Langda Tyagi in Omkara. I banged the phone down not believing a word of what he said."
But 'Honey' showed up in Amole's office. "He had my resume as an actor right from the time in 1981 when I did my first diploma film as an actor. Honey was aware of all my 108 films as an actor in student films, also Ketan Mehta's Holi and Dayal Nihalani's Guridakshina. They convinced me that I was an actor. Finally I had to meet Vishal. My wife Deepa and I knew Vishal and his wife Rekha from the time I was doing dubbing direction for Kamal Haasan's Chachi 420. And I love his films."
The 'creative director' of Taare Zameen Par is ready to direct another film Sapno Ko Ginte Ginte.
And like the much-acclaimed Taare, Sapnon...is also about the life and psychology of children.
Says Amole, "It took me so long to start another film after Taare Zameen Par, because I needed to tighten my script.
Amole is not really interested in casting a star in the film. "The kids are the star of Sapno Ko Ginte Ginte. But I do need a big brand to make the audience to come watch my film. However, the star shouldn't feel he is doing the film and the children a favour by being part of the film."
After Kaminey, Amole is ready to take on more acting assignments. "If it helps me to fund my film projects. But it has to touch me in some way. Otherwise I'd have become a permanent actor after Holi 22 years ago."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 22 Aug 2009 | 3:57 am Anjum Rizvi's Fast Forward to release with What's Your Raashee?
Ashutosh Gowarikar's wish to have a solo release is just not working out. Producer Anjum Rizvi (of A Wednesday fame) is having his release Fast Forward with What's Your Rashee on September 25. The producer had announced his release date as August 21, and has now postponed it to September with Harman-Priyanka starrer.
Initially, it was Madhur Bhandarkar's Jail and David Dhawan's Do Knot Disturb, which were playing an obstacle to Ashutosh. Finally after calling several meetings with the Producers Association (IMPPA), Ashutosh had managed to have a solo release.
Producer Anjum Rizvi says, "Yes, I have to postpone the film to September 25. Because of swine flu, we decided to push the movie and selected for that date. Since the coming weeks have a lot of releases lined up, we didn't want to clutter."
Didn't you have to pay any fine? He says, "No it doesn't imply to us. It is only for the big films."
Fast Forward is directed by Zaigham Ali Sayed, starring Rehaan Khan, Akshay Kapoor, Bhavna Pani, Mahesh Manjrekar and Vinod Khanna.

Recently, when Shabana Azmi handed over keys for new homes to the last lot of rehabilitated slum-dwellers who fell under the Nivara Hakk scheme, it was Sunil Dutt's daughter Priya Dutt who did the needful.
Says Shabana emotionally, "This was the fourth phase of our housing scheme. It is the largest rehabilitation project in Asia. And we requested Priya Dutt to hand over the keys. It was quite touching to see us two daughters carrying on the legacy of our fathers."
Shabana known to be an outstanding public speaker was very impressed by Priya's oratorical skills. "I heard Priya speak in public for the first time. I was very moved. She sounded as sincere and honest as Dutt Saab."
Earlier, Priya's father Sunil Dutt and Shabana have been jointly involved in various projects, in their political and non-political capacities, respectively. Shabana chose Priya for this occasion because of their mutual commitment to social welfare.
Says Shabana, "My NGO Nivara Hakk has given 12,000 homes for free, to the slum dwellers ousted from Borivli National Park. It's tripartite pact among the Government of Maharashtra, the private builders Sumer Corporation and Nivara Hakk. And it was very nice to have Priya along. She is the MP of the area and shares our vision of what needs to be done for the upgradation of the slums. It's a huge project and we wish to build alliances with likeminded people, like Priya."
Shabana and Priya have in fact formed a new bonding of likeminded sisters, who are unified in their penchant for social causes, which they've inherited from their father Kaifi Azmi and Sunil Dutt respectively.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 22 Aug 2009 | 3:21 am Who is Mammootty's latest sweetheart?The name is spreading like wild fire as to who is the current heart throb of the Malayalam superstar Mammootty.
