Akki-Ash go retro with Action Replayy

The year 2010 heralds somewhat of a comeback for the beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, with quite a few films in the bag including the Akshay Kumar starrer Action Replayy. The film, which is being directed by Vipul Shah, will see Ash teaming up director Vipul Shah for the first time together. The film, which involves a certain theory of time travel, has the actors sporting a retro 70's look. Bollywood Hungama gives you a sneak peek at Ash and Akshay in a total retro look mounted on the once famous Lambretta Vespa scooter with hearts. Heightening the 80's look is the entire flower power print dress Ash dons, while Akki does his bit wearing a blush pink floral print shirt topped off with checked bell bottoms, quite the rage then. With the look and feel coming through so boldly, we certainly think the film will manage to take the audience down memory lane to the days of the flower power.

Kunal Kohli plans his next directorial venture with Saif

Kunal Kohli may be busy handling the production of Imran - Deepika starrer Break Ke Baad (directed by debutant Danish Aslam), but that hasn't stopped the talented filmmaker from announcing his plans for his next directorial venture. Apparently Kunal's next directorial venture will be starring none other than good friend Saif Ali Khan. Saif and Kunal have earlier worked in Hum Tum and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Says Kunal on popular social networking site Twitter, "Yes… Saif & me planning another love story. Redefine the metro sexual look. Love in unexpected places. It's a fun, young film, loads of romance, laughs, tears. Not yet locked heroine, might be a fresh pairing is all I'm saying for now." Well one hopes that Saif and Kunal are once again able to come up with a winner just like they did with Hum Tum 6 years back.

"Ranbir is deliberately lightening up the atmosphere" - Prakash Jha

Ranbir Kapoor has been uncharacteristically boisterous at his recent media events to promote Raajneeti. Most people close to him have noticed the radical change in his promotional strategy. Is it love, or is it something far less personal? Gone is the serious, respectful actor speaking in clipped tones. Even while promoting a fun film like Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Ranbir was dead serious allowing only a hint of a smile once in a while. For Raajneeti, we see Ranbir bantering flirting and joking in full public view with his cast and the media. What has brought on this change in the otherwise sober almost sombre actor? According to a very close friend of Ranbir, the intelligent young actor has taken on himself the daunting task of making Raajneeti look youth-friendly. Says the friend, "Prakash Jha's strategy of taking the political message of Raajneeti to various educational institutions and on so-called 'serious' public platforms has Ranbir worried. He doesn't want the audience to think Raajneeti is a political drama filled with real-life political tensions. Ranbir is employing every strategy he knows to divert attention from the politics of Raajneeti." The actor is deliberately employing the flippant fun-filled strategy at media events. Prakash Jha doesn't deny that there's a dramatic change in Ranbir's public conduct for Raajneeti. "There's a definite attempt by Ranbir to lighten the atmosphere, to bring an element of masti into our public discussions. But Ranbir and I have not planned any strategy. He is instinctively very sharp, focused and funny. He knows which button to press to get the gathering revved up. So yes, I'd say Ranbir is deliberately lightening the atmosphere. But he isn't messing with the gravity of the discussions." Jha is all praise for Ranbir's intuitive grasp of the present day youth's aspirations. Says the director, "In Bangalore while discussing the youth and politics, Ranbir said it's definitely preferable to have people with basic common sense rather than plain education to run our country. It brought the house down." According to the close friend, Ranbir wants Raajneeti to be seen as an entertaining follow up to his earlier film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with Katrina. Says the friend, "He knows Raajneeti is poles apart from Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. But he wants the audience to know it's a very entertaining and watch-able drama. Ranbir's strategy sometimes goes against Prakash Jha's sales-pitch. The director has been trying to focus on the political content rather than the stars. Ranbir's antics during the recent press conferences (hiding from TV cameras behind Katrina, sketching funny pics during a press conference, telling the curious media humorous anecdotes about Raajneeti) countermand the director's attempts to highlight the theme of present-day politics." In fact Ranbir has other lighten-up-the-atmosphere plans for forthcoming media functions. He also wants Katrina get seriously flippant at Raajneeti events but she isn't biting the bait. Says the pal, "Ranbir plans to discuss anything but politics. The point he wants to prove is, he's just playing a politician. It doesn't mean he has to have the answers to the ills of the nation. Prakash Jha has been a politician in real life. So he knows and empathizes with Indian politics. For Ranbir and Katrina playing politicians is fantasy. Just as he played a salesman in Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year, Ranbir is playing a politician in Raajneeti."

Bipasha works on her accent to sound like Kashmiri girl in Lamhaa

At this very moment, Bipasha Basu is going through the biggest challenge of her career. She has to drop her anglicized-Bengali accent and diction completely to sound like the Kashmiri Muslim girl she plays in Rahul Dholakia's Lamhaa. Which is easier said than done. Even when Bipasha had done a Bengali film, Rituparno Ghosh's Shob Charitra Kalpunik, she had been forbidden by the director from dubbing her own lines although Bengali is her mother tongue. This time, though, Bipasha was determined to not allow her voice-performance to suffer on the grounds of her accent. For months, the actress has been secretly practicing her lines. And now when the dubbing is finally on, Bipasha with the help of the sound recordist Manoj Sikka is giving the Urdu her best shot. According to her director Rahul Dholakia, who's constantly supervising Bipasha dubbing, the actress has made the strongest effort possible to sound like an authentic Kashmiri -Muslim girl. Says Dholakia, "At the moment I'm simultaneously doing two very different jobs on two of my very different films. While I'm editing my social satire Society, I am supervising the dubbing of my film on Kashmir - Lamhaa. Dubbing the dialogues of a film with as vast a historical-political canvas as Lamhaa is very tough. I wish I could devote more attention to Bipasha. But she's doing a fine job." Says Bipasha, "It is tough, really tough because I don't really understand Urdu. But I'm never one to shun the urge to learn. I find it great fun. And my director Rahul Dholakia is very patient and chilled out." The sound recordist Manoj Sikka has been given the job of monitoring Bipasha's diction. Says Bipasha, "I'm putting my trust in Rahul's team and the sound recordist." Since the film tackles the sensitive issue of Kashmir militancy, director Dholakia is pretty adamant on getting every nuance right. While Sanjay Dutt who plays an outsider can get away with his characteristic drawling dialogues, Bipasha Basu and Kunal Kapoor who play Kashmiris have had to slog to do away with their Bengali and Punjabi twangs.

"I want Sanjay Leela Bhansali to see Udaan" - Vikram Motwane

Vikramaditya Motwane whose debut film Udaan has cracked Cannes wants to return to India and show his film to his mentor Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Interestingly, Vikram's mother Deepa and Sanjay were business partners before Sanjay became a filmmaker. Recalls Bhansali, "Much before I began assisting Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Vikram's mother Deepa and I had formed a company Triton to make ad films. I made several ad films for automobiles, etc then got bored of it and the company dissolved. But during those years, Vikram, who was just 5 when I first met his mother, would be running around in shorts. So I've virtually watched him grow up in front of me." It was inevitable that Motwane would start a career in the movie business by assisting Sanjay Bhansali. However, Sanjay was not kicked by Motwane's first script for Udaan. And Motwane reluctantly took the project to Anurag Kashyap. Says Sanjay, "It doesn't matter who produced it. I'm so glad Vikram's film has made such a wide impact." Although Vikramaditya Motwane's directorial debut Udaan has been criticized by some reviewers for not quite being worthy of being part of Cannes' prestigious 'Un Certain Regard' section, Vikram couldn't have hoped for a better response. Speaking from Cannes, he said, "Everywhere on the streets here, me and the film's actors Ronit Roy and Ram Kapoor are being stopped and congratulated. Everyone wants to meet the boy in the film (Rajat Barmecha)." Sanjay Leela Bhansali's blue-eyed boy and favourite protégée Vikram Motwane whose film Udaan is the first Indian entry at Cannes in a competitive section in the last seven years is dazed and sleepless in Cannes after three days of being honoured feted and toasted. But Motwane is alert enough to make one promise from Cannes. "I want Sanjay Bhansali to see Udaan. His approval is very, very important to me. I've literally grown up in front of him. And if he likes my film, I'd be happy. I'm aware some critics back home have criticized the selection of Udaan for Cannes. I don't care. I can't please everyone. As long as the people I care for approve of my film, my work is done." Though quite numbed by the Cannes experience this isn't Motwane first visit. In 2002, he had accompanied Sanjay Bhansali to Cannes for the premiere of Devdas. Recalls Bhansali, "Vikram assisted me on Devdas. He handled everything for me in Cannes in 2002. Every detail was taken care of by Vikram. I don't think I've ever been closer to any of my assistants."

Sudhir Mishra to form cartel to distribute relatively smaller films

In what would be a first of sorts move for the Hindi film industry, well-known filmmaker Sudhir Mishra is planning to form a cartel to distribute and market his own films and that of some other like minded filmmakers. These would typically be films that don't come with the 'blockbuster' tag attached to them. Seemingly upset at the way his last film Tera Kya Hoga Johnny was leaked online even before its release, Sudhir has realised that its high time filmmakers take charge of these things. Says Sudhir, "There are people who make films and there are those who make synonyms for a lifestyle. If you notice, most of the films which are well promoted on the basis of who is looking hot, who has a superb body, who is wearing designer clothes are not really films. They seem more like advertisements for a lifestyle. So in such a scenario where does the real story-teller go? What will happen to the Hrishidas of today?" So what is it that made him realise the need towards such a step? "The modern filmmaker has to become a businessman. There is no other choice. You cannot remain an 'Alice In Wonderland' anymore." The first film to benefit from this new concept of a cartel is Mishra's own film Dil Dar Badar starring Irrfan Khan, Chitrangda Singh and newcomer Arunoday. "The title is yet to be finalised, it could either be Dil Dar Badar or Yeh Saali Zindagi. The film is complete and likely to release in October. We are going to go the whole hog and release it ourselves this time," signs off Sudhir.
