That easy smile and the twinkle in the eye are hard to miss. Bollywood's cant-do-without actor and one who is known more for the immortal characters he has played than the Paris man he really is, Boman Irani is indisputably the finest of the lot. In conversation with Chandni Dev, he reveals his nuttier side in the upcoming film Fruit And Nut.
You are known to be the finest character actor of Bollywood. How do you take that comment?
Why? They don't think of me as a sex symbol (laughs). Well I am a character actor, I can't be a hero, as I am 60 years old, you don't want me to go spread my arms wide open.
I can't be a hero, I am 60 years old!
If it's Boman, its comedy, people expect you to make them laugh.
If that's the way I am perceived, then fine. I can't change people's perception, even though I've done many films where I'm not playing a comedian and being funny. In Lage Raho Munnabhai, Lucky Singh wasn't a funny guy, he was a mean chap. It's just that there were situations that made you laugh out of nervousness. In Eklavya mine was one of the most tragic characters that I have seen in Hindi cinema, in a long time. My Wife's Murder was serious again. Don was a nasty piece of work, in 3 Idiots I would be playing one unhappy and nasty person. In some scenes you might want to laugh, but he is not intending too. Crooked is coming out in Jan, again he is not a funny guy at all. Don 2, not funny at all. People like the comic side of me, which is fine, but at the same time I am an actor, character actor, as you label me, so I am suppose to do all kinds of roles, and that's what I will be taking up.
In Three idiots I would be playing one unhappy and nasty person
You're not just a film actor you are also a Theatre person, which platform gives you more satisfaction?
There's a great charm in theatre, I enjoyed doing it for twelve years and did lots of plays. There's great fun in being a cinema actor and I wouldn't trade one for the other. I am enjoying my stint in cinema, it's only been six years and I would like to continue till I get fed up of it myself.
I am enjoying my stint in cinema, I would like to continue till I get fed up of it myself
One film after another, do you miss the stage at all?
Yes, very much in fact. But like I said I wouldn't trade one for the other. At this chapter of my life, I am a cinema actor and I would like to continue to be so and at some point I would return to the theatre.
Having done variety of roles, with still more pouring in. Are you happy where you stand today or are we still searching for the dream role?
I am not looking for just one dream role. I would say it's been going very well so far. In six years, I have done range of roles that I feel were challenging, some not so, some that I am proud of and some that I am not but I will stand by them. But if I turn around and say that I am satisfied, my game is up. I am looking to explore myself as an actor as a character as a lead actor, but it's not just one role, it can't be, It's stupid!
How do you decide which film is worth it and which is not?
There are many reasons to do a film. One is that the script should be great even if the role is just ok. If the role is great but the script isn't, I don't think that's the best way to go. The people you are working with have to be of a certain kind of commitment, and then there are others you work for because you support them. Thankfully it has not happened to me yet, but you might need the money. I don't think I can just do one kind of film. I want to do all kinds of films from big blockbusters to shoestring budget films, and enjoy both the worlds, learn what goes into the two kinds. It's not necessary that they would work, there is a great possibility that a blockbuster might not work. We have to find a good enough reason to wake up in the morning and be excited to go to work and for the time being I am looking for that.
Let's talk about Fruit And Nut, what's this film all about?
Kunal Vijaykar is a very dear friend of mine. He's a friend who has bonded with me over food. He wanted to do this film and I said 'ok'. This film is mad if you ask me, it's insane. He is also working with insane group of people. We have Cyrus, we have Mahesh and Divya who seems to be the only straight person in the film. There's also Rajat Kapoor in the film, a complete nut job. I think there are more nuts than fruits in Fruit And Nut. It's just that I don't want to describe this film or put it under a category. It's insanity without description. Insanity has no real description or else I would have been a psychologist.
I think there are more nuts than fruits in Fruit And Nut
Then let's talk about your character in the film.
My character claims to be a maharaja of Mumbai. His name is Maharaja Harry Holkar. Who insists that if you don't give him back his city he will blow it up. The movie is an experience you either love or hate, we're not trying to say that we have a message for you. We were just out there making a movie that has no description. It's insane, it's mad; it's wild, and its whacko!
What was your intention when you took it up?
The idea was there and I was all set for the ride. Kunal would come up with ideas on how the character look's, what he says, his quirks. He is suppose to be this terrorist who's whimsical, one day he would be caring and next day he would want your head. I don't want to tell you too much because he defies description and logic. We are not apologetic at all because the filmmakers never said that they are making a meaningful film at all. It's not meaningful it's bizarre.

Working with a debut director on a bizarre film, how was it?
A first time director wants to give his best but at the same time he didn't get serious on the set thinking what if this doesn't work. As far as he is concerned, it was 'let's go out there and do it and let's have fun while doing it.' I think it's a great spirit to have around otherwise you are worried about whether it's working and then trying to mend it, fine tune it or polish it and it looses the essence of what the film was intended to be. I think Kunal gets the spirit of the film going.
With edgy Mahesh Manjrekar on one side along with funny man Cyrus, what were the dynamics on the set?
Most of the times I couldn't understand what Cyrus was saying because in the film I am suppose to be a senior 90 year old man. When I watched the film I understood what was really being said. Mahesh was inventing dialogues as he went along. When I saw the film I was like what the hell did he say? That's the spirit of the film we made.
Mahesh Manjrekar was inventing dialogues as he went along. When I saw the film I was like what the hell did he say?
What about Dia? You've worked with her before as well.
Actually I have very little to do with Dia in the film, we just have two scenes together. One is where I kidnap her and threaten to kill her, and then I don't even know why she is there and I forget. I say 'who have we brought?' and I would ask her 'did you have your breakfast.' But Dia is an extremely pretty girl and is extremely fond of me and likewise.
You always do a lot of field work for your characters, what research did you do for this film?
There is nobody who exists like Harry Holkar. I'll be very honest, I did not go out there doing homework for this. We just came up with his look and the way he spoke. There is no one who remotely looks, behaves and exists like Harry Holkar. The character defies logic and sanity.
There is no one who remotely looks, behaves and exists like Harry Holkar. The character defies logic and sanity.
The character sings though, there is a song you sang here.
I did sing a song, it's his introduction and it's called 'Khabardaar'. He is telling everybody beware, Holkar is on its way. I didn't insist on singing, though I wanted to sing. But I made them come and request 'would you please sing for us?'
Fruit And Nut, we've figured out the nuts, what's the fruit about?
The way you say 'As nutty as a fruit cake'. That's the phrase that explains this.
Your final take on the film?
The test audience that saw the film were laughing and I asked them what do you find funny in it and they said we don't know we just laughed. An audience makes the film eventually. We had great fun making it and we just want people to know that we are not pretending to make a very meaningful film or a masterpiece with great many layers, there are no layers. It's a stupid film and its fun.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 18 Oct 2009 | 5:06 pm "I wear earrings & have a different hairdo! Hope everyone likes it" - Ajay Devgn
Click above for movie stills
The most enduring image of Ajay Devgn is still as 'Vanraj' in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. He is made to sing a song in the film to impress the girl's father in order to get married to 'Nandini', played by Aishwarya Rai. I still remember the non-stop laughter in the cinema hall. Come October 30th, that image will be knocked off. Ajay Devgn, on stage at the great Wembley Stadium in London, clutching a microphone and sometimes his guitar will be seen making his dream come true. One of the finest actors of his generation, Devgn has swiftly moved between drama, comedy, action and romantic films, which some find confusing. Ajay is earnest 24/7 in what he does, be it acting, producing, directing or family matters. There aren't enough words available to describe the sprawling and exceptional career of Ajay Devgn. I could only find one - 'extraordinary'. Recent years have shown no signs of this mammoth talent slowing down. Ajay continues to work at a feverish pace that actors half his age are best known for. On numerous occasions, I've been told that the actor is known to talk less. In person, Devgn is an engaging company, self-confident and very rarely voluble. He doesn't so much talk as hold forth. In full, he can sometimes come across like a character from one of his films. Put simply, he likes to talk about himself...and when he does, there is an edge to him- an almost imperceptible flicker of some darker, nervier energy that pulses just beneath the cool, calm exterior. That's him! UK's Harrow Observer columnist Devansh Patel brings you a rare chat with the 'great' Ajay Devgn where he talks about his ambitious next London Dreams, his first time working experience with Vipul Shah and Asin, getting back together with Salman Khan after a decade, his spiked look in the film and the film's USP. You thought it was Ajay Devgn? Read on....
How did London Dreams happen to you?
This film was planned years ago; things didn't work out at that point. Rajkumar Santoshi wanted to make it initially but that took time to take off. Eventually the script came to Vipul (Shah) to direct. He reworked it and approached me. I absolutely loved the script and decided almost immediately to do the project.
How did your first time with Vipul Shah come along?
Great! Vipul is very clear about what he wanted and had planned everything well, which explains why he has been able to shoot such an elaborate film, with the right nuances, emotions, drama and romance. Vipul understands drama and on the sets he comes completely prepared with shot breakdowns. That makes an actor's job really easy, as no time is spent in deciding how to can a particular shot. You just have to come on the sets prepared with your scene and he takes charge.
Vipul understands drama and on the sets he comes completely prepared with shot breakdowns. That makes an actor's job really easy
You are shown to be too ambitious in London Dreams. Is that how you are in real life too? Yes I am ambitious in real life. My character is very ambitious; one who had nurtured a dream of performing at the Wembley Stadium since childhood and has worked hard towards fulfilling his dream. He's the sort who values his ambitions above love or friendship. He is emotional, he loves the people around him but his love for his dream overpowers it all. His actions may seem negative and aggressive but he is completely clear and justified in his head. It is a character I haven't played before and really enjoyed.
Salman and you have reunited after ten years on the big screen.
I think every actor grows with time. Salman has really matured as a performer and is fun to be with. He puts everyone at ease. We got along really well. Our off-screen chemistry shows on-screen as well! (Smiles)
Salman has really matured as a performer and is fun to be with
Your character in London Dreams seems to have slightly negative shades. Any apprehensions? When you watch the film, you will realize that he's not exactly negative. He is doing something which he has to do, something he regrets later. It's a story of two friends and their misunderstandings- a misunderstanding they did not want to create but happens. It's about two friends falling apart and coming back together.
How did you acquire the body language of a rock star, which is the character you play on screen in this film? I don't play an over the top, Mick Jagger sort of rock star! The character wasn't flamboyant, he was subdued and controlled so it wasn't difficult to portray. I just had to listen to the music, imbibe it and behave how any musician would if he loved his music as much.
Tell us about your experience of working with a newcomer like Asin who stormed the scene with Ghajini?
She proved herself in Ghajini. I think she has done very well and is an extremely dedicated and professional girl. She is punctual and cordial with everyone on the sets. And as an actress I think she has a lot of potential.
You have spiked up look in London Dreams. Want to know more.
Vipul and I came up with the look that you see in the promos. We did a lot of photo shoots, tried various styles - but eventually decided to not go completely over the top, as that would compromise the believability of this character. So this look is actually quite simple yet stylish and it worked. I wear earrings and have a different hairdo! I liked it! Hope everyone likes it too!
I wear earrings and have a different hairdo! I liked it! Hope everyone likes it too!
Your favourite track from the film?
I love it and everyone I know has loved it too. My favorite track is 'Khwaab'.
What is the USP of London Dreams?
I don't ever know how to answer this question. A film is about so many things, there are so many elements that go into making a final product, that it's difficult to say which one thing makes it special. If the film works in totality, it works. This film is about relationships, about friends and about oneself. It's about a journey of two characters that are close to each other and how their differing attitudes towards success result in problems. It's a film with a heart. It will pull at your heart strings, it will make you think about those who are close to you and matter to you.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 18 Oct 2009 | 4:51 pm Dimple Kapadia sizzles on the cover of Hello this month

She has sung and danced her way into our hearts, after walking the ramp, and entering films from the world of fashion.
Her latest release was a big one in both length as well as character portrayal. Letting out any more about this damsel will let the proverbial cat out of the bag. So if you think you know who we are talking about, go ahead and give this week's 'Guess Who' a shot and post in your answers below.
To find out last week's answer click hereSource: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 18 Oct 2009 | 4:35 pm Sanjay Dutt opts out of Bunty Walia's Just Punjabi
There're more twists and turns in the casting of Bunty Walia's Just Punjabi. First it was to feature Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt in a mentor-protegee plot set in Canada to be directed by Apoorva Lakhia.
Then the producer decided to let his brother Jaspreet Walia direct the film. Sanjay Dutt was relocated into the Big B's role while Abhishek Bachchan shifted into Dutt's role.
Now one hears that Dutt is no more interested in doing Just Punjabi.
Says a source close to Dutt, "After the long and taxing experience Sanjay Dutt had over Lamhaa, he wants to take a long break from Bunty Walia's projects. Next year Mr. Dutt's schedule is choc-a-bloc. No way can he fit Bunty's film in."
So where does that leave Just Punjabi? Bunty doesn't deny that Dutt is not confirmed for Just Punjabi, although he was the first actor on board when the project was announced two years ago.
Says Bunty, "As of now, Abhishek Bachchan is confirmed for the other role. I'm not sure about Sanju. I've to meet him to find out if he is on. But I'd like to believe he is on."
One reason being given for Dutt's reluctance to do Just Punjabi is the new director.
Bunty scoffs at this assumption. "Would Abhishek have agreed to do Just Punjabi if my brother was not competent?
