Abhay Deol 'ties' himself for andpersand cover

Abhay Deol He is as 'reclusive' as 'reclusive' can get. He is the 'chashmo-chirag' of the Deol family, who can safely be titled as one of the hottest stars in Bollywood. We are indeed referring to the suave Abhay Deol, who is on the cover of the February issue of the 'andpersand' magazine. Those in the know are aware of the fact that this dude is quite media shy. To which, Abhay admits, "I am media shy. I didn't depend on the media to promote me. In that sense, I don't owe them or anyone anything. I arrived upon success solely by myself." Talking about films, he says, "I like films where I can relate to the characters- where I find them to be all flesh and flesh and blood, tangible and real." For those who felt that being a Deol had everything carved out for him and that Bollywood was a cakewalk for this man, he answers, "The Deol tag meant that people expected me to be in a certain way, to live up to a certain standard. So, it kind of worked for me and against me, at the same time." And this one is for those who 'question' about him not being 'carved' out for the quintessential Bolly hero, "I know I am not cut out to play a filmi hero. I don't look like a hero." Some confession that, Abhay! All this and much more, in the latest edition of 'andpersand'.

Sanjay Dutt moves from Gandhigiri to Freedom

Sanjay Dutt Sanjay Dutt has opened a new chapter in his life. From playing a gangster in a dozen odd films to advocating 'gandhigiri' in Lage Raho Munnabhai, he would now be marching to a different beat with Freedom, a film which would take audience through the journey of India from the 70s to the current times. The film would be directed by Vivek Agnihotri and has already been given a nod of approval by Sanjay Dutt as well as Madhavan. Hunt for the remainder of the principal cast is on. Confirms Vivek Agnihotri, the man behind Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal (John Abraham, Arshad Warsi, Bipasha Basu) and Chocolate (Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Tanushree Dutta), "Yes, Freedom is happening for sure. The principal cast is more or less finalised and talks with Sanjay Dutt and Madhavan are progressing quite well as they are in the final stages. Sanjay is out of town and I would be meeting him soon after his return to take a closure on the formalities. I am also keen on signing Mohan Lal for the film and have approached him as well. It would be great if he consents because the film will certainly befit his standing as an actor who only does meaningful cinema." Looking at the subject of Freedom, it does hint of being meaningful cinema with a commercial appeal to it. Describing the film as a political thriller that gives a blow by blow account of modern day India during last three decades, Vivek gets emotional by calling Freedom as a dream come true, "This is a story that I have been waiting to tell for years now. Though Chocolate and Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal happened in the interim, I was always keen to bring Freedom for Indian viewers. The beauty of the subject is that it stays on to be as topical as ever as it starts in the 70s and takes us to the current times. Even if I had to make Freedom in 2020, it will still retain its charm because there would always be newer episodes to tell from the decade gone by." Apparently, Vivek completely distanced himself from the outside world while writing the film. "I worked with Prasoon Joshi on the script for close to 6 months. After that I went to Himalayas for a couple of months and have just returned after locking the final draft. It has been over two years since Dhan Dhan Dhan Goal and I am raring to go. However, if you ask me whether I am tired then I would say 'No'. Writing Freedom has been such an enriching experience and even if I am required to spend a couple of more years to add more to it, I won't mind." For Sanjay Dutt, it would be yet another saga other than his under production Lamhaa (directed by Rahul Dholakia) where he would be a part of a topical tale. Though in 2009 he saw success coming his way via a comic route (All The Best), 2010 could well open a new chapter in his life with Freedom following next. In the current decade, most of the films where he has been shown on the right side of the law (Shootout At Lokhandwala, Dus, Kurukshetra, Mission Kashmir) have been successful at the box office. Are we looking at him as a law keeper once again in Freedom? "It would be too early to divulge his role though I can assure that it pretty much justifies his heavy weight presence", assures Vivek, "He would be present from start to finish of the film and would remain a part of the narrative through all the decades."

Lucy Liu left Mumbai on Friday night after finishing shoot of her film Meena

 Lucy Liu She came, she shot and she sneaked out of Mumbai on Friday night on a flight to New York, traumatized by the experience of making a film on the life of a sex worker. Lucy Liu came and shot her 30-minute film entitled Meena for ten days in Mumbai and tried to sneak out of Mumbai on Friday night as quietly as possible. Says a source, “Lucy shot her film right until Friday evening then rushed to the airport to escape all media attention. She had to return to New York for another film. Then she had to edit her Mumbai film entitled Meena and submit it by mid-2010.” According to an actor in the film, “Lucy is painfully shy of the press. Plus this was her first film as a director, and it was on a very sensitive subject.” Lucy’s film was on the subject of prostitution. According to a source, “The film inspired by Meena’s tale as told in the book ‘Half The Sky’ is about a real-life sex worker Meena Haseena who at the age of 10, was abducted from her village in Bihar and brought to Mumbai. Meena grew up in a brothel. After escaping from the brothel, Meena made it her life’s mission to help as many of her sex-worker colleagues to escape from a life of prostitution as possible.” The irony that moved Lucy Liu was that Meena couldn’t manage to rescue her own daughter from a life of prostitution. Says an actor from the film, “It took Meena 14 years to rescue her own daughter from prostitution. As Lucy shot this sensitive film, she’d often burst into quiet sobs in corner. The real story is so searing and brutal we all were traumatized. There was a 13-year old girl playing Meena’s daughter. And the ambience was especially sensitive for her. You can’t blame Lucy for wanting to finish shooting and leave quietly.” Tannishtha Chatterjee who plays Meena Haseena met the real Haseena several times. Says the source, “Meena was a consultant on the project throughout. Tannishtha and Lucy met Meena several times and Meena was on the sets supervising the proceedings.” For the sequences showing Meena daughter Naina’s rescue attempts, Tannishtha had to perform several dangerous stunts, climbing up walls jumping down buildings, running and slipping as she was chased by goons.” Says Tannishtha, “All I can say is, I’m battered and bruised both emotionally and physically after doing the film. Working with Lucy Liu and that too on a project of very high realism, just shattered me.”

"Welcome to the shoot of your biggest hit" - Sajid Khan to House Full cast

Sajid Khan Remember the last scene of 3 Idiots? The one where Chatur extends a piece of paper to an unsuspecting Rancho and asks him to sign a 'Declaration of Defeat'? As baffled and amused that he could possibly be in that particular situation, Rancho didn't have a moment of hesitation in doing so because in his heart he truly believed that 'aal was well'. Now that was in reel life. Let's rewind a bit now and go back to the summer of 2009. This is when a similar drama, though of a completely opposite kind, took place in real life on the first day of the shooting of Sajid Khan directed House Full. Confident about the journey that he was about to embark on and positive about its final outcome, Sajid wrote a personalised letter to each and every actor. What it stated was something plain and simple but carried its weight in gold. It said - 'Welcome to the first day's shoot of your career's biggest hit'! Now that's quite a statement given the fact that the film boasts of a superstar like Akshay Kumar who has some of the most massive blockbusters behind him. Deepika Padukone began with none less than Om Shanti Om while others like Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal and Lara Dutta do boast of some good money spinners behind them. Moreover, producer Sajid Nadiadwala too has been around for more than 25 years and over this long period of time has accumulated several successful films in his kitty. And let's not forget that a major part of this team has earlier delivered a solid hit in the form of Sajid Khan's own Heyy Babyy. In such a scenario, House Full being touted as the biggest hit for everyone involved does give a very good indication of the kind of confidence that Sajid is oozing with. No wonder, the filmmaker doesn't hesitate in admitting that he did write a letter to all. "Whether it was Akshay, Deepika, Lara, Arjun, Riteish or Jiah (Khan), I wrote a personal note to all of them. That was my way of giving us all a good kick start to the beginning of the film's shoot", says Sajid who continues to carry a similar intuition till date even as the film's release is round the corner. Meanwhile, during his interaction with his cast and crew members of House Full, he also shared a similar vision that he has carried over the years. "I told them all that 'Remember guys, we are making this film for audiences and not for ourselves. So let's go out there and step into the shoes of those very people who are going to pay for the ticket and get into an auditorium to see what we had to offer. Let's make a film that would be loved by the masses all around'", fondly remembers Sajid who did a similar exercise for his debut film Heyy Babyy (2007) as well. First major release of summer 2010, House Full would be seeing a massive theatrical release on Friday, 30th April, with paid previews a day earlier. The film would arrive at the time when IPL matches would be through. With music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, lyrics by Sameer and screenplay by Milap Zaveri, House Full stars Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan, Boman Irani, Chunkey Pandey and Randhir Kapoor in principal roles with Malaika Arora in a special appearance.

"Padma Bhushan means more to me than Oscar & Grammy" - A.R. Rahman

After the Oscars and the Padma Bhushan, it's Grammy time for A R Rahman. On Sunday night, his music for Slumdog Millionaire won two Grammy awards, setting Rahman's global score even higher in 2010 than it was last year. Reacting to the double Grammy whammy, Rahman said, "I never even dreamt about winning all these awards. I once again want to thank the Almighty, my spiritual Sufi teachers Ameen Peerullah Malik Sahib, Danny Boyle and the whole Slumdog creative team." After the Grammy, Rahman also had a special word of thanks for his mentor Mani Ratnam and his mentors in Mumbai, Shekhar Kapur and Subhash Ghai and mentor in the West, Andrew Lloyd Webber. Back home, Rahman is happy to have received the Padma Bhushan. But unhappy about the fact that a lot of the deserving artistes remain unrecognized by the government. "There're so many deserving candidates for National Awards, still unsung. On the other hand, I believe people with dubious records get recognized. That isn't fair. Personally speaking I'm very happy to get the Padma Bhushan. Ever since the announcement my phone hasn't stopped ringing. I think I've received more congratulations for the Padma than for the Oscars." Rahman says he's prouder of the Padma Bhushan than the Oscar. "It definitely means more when you're recognized by your own people and country. I definitely value this award more than the Oscar or Grammy," said Rahman before flying out to Los Angeles for the Grammys. "My award comes in a category that won't be televised. So it won't be like Slumdog Millionaire where people back home could watch me." Much has been said about the two Padma winners Rahman and sound designer Resul Pookutty's disappointing follow-up collaboration in Blue after Slumdog Millionaire. But Rahman stands by Blue. "The script was a bummer. But grant the director Anthony D'Souza for the fact that he tried something different. I enjoyed doing Blue." Our resident Mozart is amused by premature reports in the press that his song 'Na Na' from his first Hollywood soundtrack has been nominated for and Oscar. Says Rahman, "'Na Na' is short listed. It's one of 63 songs in the race. Not nominated yet. It's an English song."
