Very few authors have managed to reach out to such a wide audience as Chetan Bhagat. The writer of international bestsellers like '5 Point Someone', 'One Night @ Call Centre', '3 Mistakes of My Life'
and '2 States' have been widely read and now he is all set to see yet another of his book being made into a film. On the eve of 3 Idiots release, Chetan Bhagat
speaks to Bollywood Hungama and talks about why 3 Idiots is a special film, his next big project and lots more.
After 'One Night @ the Call Centre', yet another book of yours '5 Point Someone' is all set to be seen in its celluloid version (3 Idiots). How does it feel?
It feels great. This time it's a far bigger film, the buzz about 3 Idiots
is enormous. We have done the right thing by putting the film ahead of us. It's an incredible feeling to be able to reach out to so many people through the medium of cinema.
When you have Aamir Khan, I don't think anybody else needs to be involved in marketing of the film. Aamir is known for his innovative style of marketing. He will never directly say, 'Please come and watch my film' but he will do something that will grab your attention and make you go and watch the film. I am really inspired by his marketing. In fact there is a lesson for a lot of Indian marketing companies on the way Aamir does the marketing of his films.
Moving on from 3 Idiots, how is work coming along on the film based on your book '3 Mistakes of My Life' being made by Excel Entertainment?

Source: NDTV Entertainment News | 24 Dec 2009 | 6:56 am Delay in Once Upon A Time In Mumbai? Director Luthria hits back
It was way back in 2008 when the seeds of Once Upon A Time In Mumbai were sown first. With Ekta Kapoor as the producer, the film was announced with director Milan Luthria at the driving seat. Though Suniel Shetty was supposed to co-produce the film with Ekta Kapoor first with murmurs of Sanjay Dutt being roped in for the role of the central protagonist, that didn't quite happen. Ultimately Ajay Devgn was finalised for the role of a dreaded Mumbai based don (rumoured to be based on Haji Mastan) from the 70s with Emraan Hashmi, Kangna Ranaut and Prachi Desai were roped in as the other principal protagonists.
With such developments taking place in quick succession and the film's shooting also beginning in July 2009, it was expected that Once Upon A Time In Mumbai would be wrapped up in a jiffy and released before the end of year. However, that was not the case to be as the film was taking its own sweet time to reach the finishing mark. With any delay comes speculation, more so since Ekta Kapoor was sitting on the hat trick of box office disasters (EMI, C Kkompany, Mission Istanbul - all released in 2008). Naturally, obituaries were already being written for this Milan Luthria directed film.
I guess speculations like these happen because today, most films are made at stretch. The start to finish trend has become so very common that any film that takes longer than 40-50 days to complete is questioned. My own Deewar - Let's Bring Our Heroes Home and Kachche Dhaage were pretty spread out.
Still, wasn't OUATIM planned for an earlier release?
There haven't been any major changes in the plan and the film was always meant to be completed over a period of 6 months. Yes, we could have possibly finished shooting a little earlier but then Ajay was shooting abroad for some time. Post that he had the release of All The Best lined up. Since he was also the producer, he was a little aggressive in promotion. We were fine with this slight wait but no, there wasn't any slowdown internally.

The healing process after her surgery last week is yet not even half-complete. But Katrina Kaif, recovering quietly from surgery at her Mumbai home, stubbornly decided to go and join her family in London for the annual Christmas-New Year vacation which she had promised herself for months now.
Katrina flew out of Mumbai early Wednesday morning after getting a reluctant go-ahead from her doctors at Breach Candy hospital.
Wincing in pain she said a few hours before departure, "The pain will remain for a while. But the process of healing is on. I got my doctor's consent in Mumbai and I've another doctor in London who's fully aware of my condition. The doctors said the pain will be the same in Mumbai or London. And as long as I'm very careful about not exerting myself I'll be fine. So I'm off."
Katrina had gone into a depression earlier during the week when she felt she wouldn't be able to join her sisters and brother in London because of her medical condition.
On Tuesday after visiting the doctors Katrina and her mother took a decision. Said Katrina, "I can't exert myself, can't dance around or be boisterous. But that's okay. Because our family is in any case not the dancing type. I just want to be with my sister's little boy, take him to the toy stores in London and buy him everything he wants."
Katrina returns to Mumbai in the first week of January, hopefully fully healed. "Luckily I've a doctor in London who knows how to look after me. So basically I'm just moving into a happier state of mind by being close to the people I love. That would help me heal quicker... Wish me luck."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 24 Dec 2009 | 2:53 am Akshay on Winter Olympics experience and auctioning Olympics torch
Although a Canadian land-preservation group tried to stop Akshay Kumar's Olympian sprint in Toronto on Thursday evening, no power on earth could take away the exhilaration of the moment from Akshay.
His joy at representing the country with such a singular honour has now multiplied. After Akshay carried the torch at one of the most well-attended street events in Toronto, the Olympics committee in all their wisdom, decided to gift the Olympian torch to the Khiladi star.
Unable to contain his excitement at the honour, Akshay on his return to Mumbai on Sunday morning said, "Carrying the torch across the longest street in the world was the greatest honour I could hope for. But when after the event the Olympics committee gifted me the torch, I almost broke down. My first thought was for my son Aarav who would now be able to keep that precious torch with him for a few days. My second thought was, 'will I carry it back to Mumbai safe and sound?'"
At the Toronto airport, the authorities were excited by the very unusual cabin luggage that Akshay had brought with him. "They didn't even check the torch! I was just asked to proceed with it."
Throughout the long trip from Toronto to Mumbai, Akshay clutched the torch in his hands as he sat thinking of what to do with the precious possession.
"It was during the long flight that I decided what to do with the torch. I'll be auctioning it and use the money to help the children who participate in the Special Olympics."
Reliving the golden moments when he carried the torch in Toronto on Thursday evening, Akshay says, "About 7000 to 8000 Indians including those who had come from other cities like Montreal and Vancouver lined up on both the sides of Yonge Street which at 15,00 miles is the longest street in the world. I started at 7.30 pm. But people had already gathered by 5 pm. I covered about ½ a mile in 20 minutes. I can only tell you, it was the most exciting and magical moment of my existence."
Akshay's spirits were not dampened by a group calling itself the Torch Extinguishing Committee.
Says Akshay, "I don't know whose torch they came to extinguish. It was certainly not mine. I heard they were around somewhere on that street. Like I told you,s it's the longest street in the world. I completed my sprint without obstruction. I could hear people shouting, 'Spoil-sports, spoil-sports!' against these protestors. I'm sure they were protesting for a worthy cause. But why dilute sports by bringing politics into it?"Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 24 Dec 2009 | 2:47 am Wishing Anil Kapoor a very happy Birthday
They say that 'Time, tide and age wait for none'. Well, it seems that three factors have made an exception for the man whose smile simply lights up the whole of Bollywood. He is none other than Bollywood's ageless wonder Anil Kapoor, who also happens to be our Birthday boy for the day!
Born in a very middle class family, this man has got his feet firm on the ground, even when he has not just touched the stars, but also become a star himself! No wonder that they aptly say that these are the stuff that superstars are made of. Not many know that Anil Kapoor made his celluloid debut with 'Pallavi Anu Pallavi', a Kannada film that was directed by the ace Mani Ratnam. While in Bollywood, Anil Kapoor was first seen in Umesh Mehra's Hamare Tumhare in a supporting role. But the films that made him an overnight star and a household name included Woh Saat Din, Hum Paanch, Shakti... to name a few. Then came the iconic Mr. India, a film that created records...only to break it. This was followed by an array of hits, superhits and mega hits like Meri Jung, Jaanbaaz, Karma, Vijay, Tezaab, Ram Lakhan, Parinda, Kishen Kanhaiya, 1942: A Love Story... and the much recent Slumdog Millionaire.
