Hrithik or Abhishek for Agneepath remake? Karan Johar clears air

Karan Johar Last couple of months have seen speculations galore around the male lead for Agneepath remake. While names like Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan have popped up and there are various permutations and combinations being thought of, filmmaker Karan Johar comes out and clears the air. He goes on to record to state that no one has yet been finalized to play the part of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan. "I haven't given any statement whatsoever around the man who would eventually be playing the role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan that was made iconic by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. All I have said is that yes, we are going ahead with a remake of Agneepath and that's about it", announces Karan Johar. Whether it is Hrithik, Abhishek or someone else, Karan must be having a wish list though, isn't it? "Well, the wish list is to get the screenplay right", laughs Karan, "For the moment nothing else is more important that that." Even though the film is coming under the banner of Dharma Productions, Karan won't be coming behind the camera for the film. "True, I would be stepping aside and the film would be directed by Karan Malhotra who has assisted me on My Name Is Khan. That's the only thing which has been finalized; rest everything that you hear is mere speculation. We would finalize the cast once the script is locked. Currently, it is still in the process of being written." Karan Malhotra is not really a novice when it comes to filmmaking. An erstwhile assistant director, he has also worked with Ashutosh Gowariker (Jodhaa Akbar), Farah Khan (Main Hoon Naa), Farhan Akhtar (Lakshya) and Raj Kumar Santoshi (Lajja, Pukar) amongst others. Since it is close to two decades since the release of Agneepath (1990), would the remake have a different milieu to it? "Certainly", comes a response from Karan, "We are adapting the film from the original but ours would be a new age version that would fit in well with today's time. We really hope that we are able to do justice to the original and make the remake exciting for today's generation." Meanwhile, at last count there are as many as seven films from the house of Dharma Productions that are in different stages of production. This includes My Name Is Khan, Wake Up Sid, Qurbaan, Koochie Koochie Hota Hai, remake of Stepmom, remake of Agneepath and I Hate Love Stories. How is he managing it all? "Believe me; it's not difficult at all. All of you have to do is follow a three point 'mantra' - 'Delegation', 'Outsourcing' and 'Trust'. Along with that, if you have the right vision and infrastructure in place, which we do have in Dharma Productions, it isn't difficult to crack it all. That's the way you manage things and I have been fortunate enough to have a team with which it has become possible to helm number of projects at the same time", explains Karan. Out of the seven films being made by Karan Johar, there are three of them which are very much in the pipeline. "Wake Up Sid is all set to arrive on 2nd October. Qurbaan will come in late November. Other than that, we are looking at an early 2010 release for My Name Is Khan. Yes, these have been busy and really exciting times", concludes Karan.

"I was concerned about my ad with Kareena" - Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan The hunt for Saif's missing woman is finally over. As it has turned out, she happens to be his childhood sweetheart whom he had to leave behind when his family moved to a different city. He has now managed to trace her down and as luck would have it, she is a social activist today. However, there has been a twist in the tale. Just when he was about to reveal his identity to her and make her remember about the times gone by, he came face to face with Kareena Kapoor. And the rest, as they say, is now history. The ex-girlfriend has continued to remain an ex while Saif and Kareena are now a couple. A happy-sad love story indeed, isn't it? Well almost, since this is not the real life story of Saif and Kareena but the script of the latest advertisement - Dil Titli - that has been unveiled over the weekend gone by. While the earlier part of the week saw a gradual built up for the advertisement that didn't quite reveal if Saif's search was for indeed for real, the unveiling of the mystery woman has laid all doubts to rest. The entire promotional campaign did manage to create some stir though. Fresh out of the super success of Love Aaj Kal, it was surprising to see Saif sending out public notices through newspapers and other media forums announcing his search for a girl. With just a photograph in hands, he was shown to be running from pillar to post in his quest for regaining his old love. While it was almost clear that this was a promotional exercise in motion, it wasn't quite obvious if this was for an advertisement or a movie. In fact some also felt that this could well have been the kick start of Qurbaan promotion since the film is getting readied for a November release. However, as it turned out, all of this was actually a part of Dil Titli campaign where a 'titli' turned out to be a common factor between the two hearts that were in love long-long ago. Still, with Kareena coming into picture, it didn't take much time for Saif to shift loyalties! Laughs Saif who admits that he was initially quite apprehensive about the concept, "Well, honestly speaking, I was a little concerned at first. I was wondering if this entire ad in the newspaper with me hunting for a missing girl could perhaps look unnecessarily sensational. However, once I saw the copy before it went for print, I was reassured that we were on the right track." This was not all as the real test was audiences accepting him forgetting his first love the moment Kareena enters his life. "True, I was worried that it should not look shallow that a guy forgets his childhood love in a matter of just a second", says Saif who is currently out of India on a vacation, "But then once the creative aspects of the ad were explained to me, I trusted them. Thankfully, it seems all has turned out well eventually." Well, he has done his part and now it's upon audiences to decide whether they found Saif's change in heart justifiable or not!

Vidya Balan stayed back at Cambridge campus after shooting there for Paa

Vidya Balan proved to be more adventurous than her sedate image and serene personality suggest. Recently, while shooting for Balki's Amitabh-Abhishek starrer Paa in Cambridge, Vidya simply disappeared. The crew returned to Mumbai without her. Laughs Vidya, "It's nothing so dramatic. Yes, I did stay back in Cambridge. I simply had to. I had no choice." Shooting for Balki's Paa in Oxford and Cambridge proved to be too lovely an experience for the actress to leave behind. After the whole unit left she decided to stay for an extra week. Recounting the experience, Vidya says, "I just couldn't help it. Just being in Cambridge shooting was not enough. I felt a deep connect with the campus and the environment. I just wanted to walk around the campus with books in hand, so I'd look like a student." Once the shooting was over Vidya decided to stay over. "Luckily I've a friend in Cambridge. I stayed with her and her husband. It was the most enriching experience of my life. Just the air and the feel of the place is so special." Vidya now intends to buy herself a quiet escape route. "I can't afford a place in Cambridge. But I know of a place near Mumbai that offers the same climate and topography. But I am not revealing it."

"I've modelled Ajay Devgan's rock act on U2's Bono" - Vipul Shah

Vipul Shah Ajay Devgan as a rockstar strumming away the heated strings on stage is a hard act to swallow. Not for Vipul Shah who has cast Devgan as a rock-stadia musician in London Dreams. The gritty sweaty ambience, the riveting guitar licks, the angst- filled vocals and the screaming hysterical fans...Devgan goes through the rock motions in the film with élan. Says Vipul, "So far we've only seen him in a sedate or comic image, never as someone who can cross the frontiers and do something outrageous." Vipul hasn't quite converted Devgan in an outrageously punky rock star. "No, not quite the reckless renegade. I've modeled Ajay's rock act on Bono, the Irish lead singer from U2. Bono was never your quintessential rock star. He had a more sober and a less wild image. When Ajay gets on stage in London Dreams, he replicates the curbed tempered-down rock-star's image of U2. Yes, I modeled him on Bono." Interestingly, Salman Khan who started calling himself a 'rock star' even before the term was coined has no particular image in London Dreams. "He plays a more improvisational musician whereas Devgan plays a more professional rock musician," informs Vipul. Vipul has already shot all the on-stage performances except one. "I wanted to see how the other stage performances look before shooting the last one. I was afraid they'd all look the same. But they've all come out differently. And Ajay looks like a rock star in the truest sense of the word."

"I'm working with Abhinay, Rajiv, Rohan Sippy & Rakeysh Mehra" - Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan From Rakeysh Mehra's Delhi 6, Abhishek Bachchan is now going into Delhi Belly director Abhinay Deo's next. Deo will plunge straight into his next project with Abhishek right after he finishes his Imran Khan starrer Delhi Belly. Confirming this directorial coup de grace Abhishek says, "Yes, I'm doing Abhinay Deo's film. I've always been impressed by his ads. And when I heard he was making feature films I was keen to work with him." In the past one year Abhishek has worked with directors as diverse as Rakeysh Mehra and Mani Ratnam. He says it has been a time of great learning experiences. "Oh it was huge. My first release last year was Sarkar Raj. I went on to Drona. I ended last year with Dostana. Then came Delhi 6. I had a wonderful time making all of them. I'm happy with the work I've done regardless of whether the film has been successful or not. The important thing is to enjoy the journey of making the film. Because that's all you finally take home. I look back on the year with fond memories." Another major project on the anvil is with wife Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan again. It's a film based on Abhimaan with Rajiv Menon. Admits Abhishek, "Yes, Rajiv is a very dear friend. He directed Aishwarya earlier in the Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain. He approached us with a subject that isn't exactly a remake of Abhimaan. But it's very similar. We've both approved and attached ourselves to the subject. Then I'm also doing Rohan Sippy's next. We'll try to do something as different as Bluff Master. I'm also a doing Rakeysh Mehra's Paanch Kaurav with Pa."

Guess Who?

Guess Who Gooooooood Morning folks. We are damn sure that the weekend gone by, was anything but a weak end! With the festive season just unfolding itself, let's play the world famous game of Guess Who, not before we take the blessings of Lord Ganesha! Talking about Gods, the mysterious celebrity this week is nothing short of a God himself... the eternal God of Love and Romance! He is one actor who looks equally convincing in dhoti-kurta, as much as he is in T-shirt and jeans. Could it be because he has got acting in his genes (if you know what it means!). Whatever be the case, this eternal lover-dude started off his filmi career with his most illustrious father in a film that had his father 'entertaining' a spellbound audience! For some strange reason, our mystery man, during the mid-way of his career wanted someone called 'Radha' to 'Speak'. For reasons more than one, the cinegoers like 'You and Me' will be forever 'Indebted' to this actor, whose career was more of a 'Moon' walk than anything else! On one hand, this eternal chocolate hero showed the audiences about 'Twists In Love', while on the other, he, recently starred in a film that mirrored the difference between yesterday's and today's Love! Lastly, he is probably the only actor in Bollywood (and also in Hollywood, probably) to be having a film (yet to be released) that's named after his nickname! If you feel that you have solved this week's 'Guess Who', then, dream no further and simply post your answers below: To find out last week's answer click here
