Madhur Bhandarkar's 'comic crisis', shooting cancelled

Madhur Bhandarkar Though Madhur Bhandarkar is shooting a comedy-his career's first, we might add-things are far from funny in his real life at the moment. Just when the comedy Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji began shooting this month after monsoonal delays, the director's mother was hospitalized. Madhur had to shuttle between Hinduja hospital and his set in Andheri in the suburbs of Mumbai, and try to see the funny of side life on camera while his mother lay critically ill. As if coping with an emotional crisis was not enough Madhur's leading man Ajay Devgn had to leave for a promotional tour of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai on Saturday leaving Madhur's comedy bereft of its main character. The director's problems don't end there. On Thursday, one precious day of shooting had to be cancelled because the set had to be re-designed. Sounding utterly distressed Madhur says, "Ajay had to leave for Delhi and Kolkata for his promotion. And shooting got cancelled on Thursday. So I had just one day to finish his work for this schedule. Luckily Ajay is a quick actor. He doesn't waste time on the sets." Even otherwise shooting funny scenes with one's mom in the hospital is not easy. Says Madhur, "Luckily Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji is not a slapstick comedy. The mood on the sets is subtle. If everyone had to constantly scream shout and whoop it up, I don't know how I'd have coped." The one good thing that has come out of the gloomy week of illness, cancellations and other glitches is the director's bonding with Ajay Devgn. Madhur can't stop raving about his hero. "Ajay is so hassle-free and chilled out. He is effortless on the sets. I want to work immediately again with him."

Check out: Pradhuman Singh sans his 'Laden' make up

Pradhuman Singh With the unexpected success of the political satire Tere Bin Laden, plans are afoot to create an ongoing series of films featuring the Laden look-alike played by Pradhuman Singh. The success of the desi Laden has taken the film's makers by surprise. Director Abhishek Sharma admits creating a franchise out of the Laden character is an idea being serious explored specially since the humour on Laden has been taken in the right spirit. Singh who has been in-character playing Laden even off -screen is a bit more cautious in his enthusiasm to reprise the role. "It would depend entirely on the writing. Abhishek Sharma who's almost like a childhood buddy-I know him since I was 17- worked hard to bring the idea of a poor Laden look-alike who creates a global stir, come alive. Now to carry the idea forward without seeming to simply cash in on a successful formula, we need a script that is as funny if not funnier." Pradhuman who acted at the age of 20 when he was in the National School Of Drama gave up acting entirely and has now returned to acting with a role he never though he could pull off. "When Abhishek suggested I play a character that's mistaken for Laden, I was zapped. I had never even remotely thought I resembled Laden. But now that the character has been liked I don't mind playing him again." Pradhuman Singh Another Laden in-blunder land saga is on the anvil. And this character may become Hindi cinema's first formal farcical franchise in the tradition of Larry Charles' Borat played by Sacha Baron Cohen. Says Pradhuman, "I've gotten so used to being dressed as Laden/Noora, I had almost forgotten what I really look like. I'd wake up in the morning without makeup and wonder who the stranger in the mirror was. We got a really good makeup person, Vikram Gaekwad, to do my 'Osama' makeup." The makeover was so complete and convincing even Pradhuman's girlfriend (a law student) was fooled. "But in spite of being constantly dressed as Osama, I suffer from 'no identity' crisis. As a trained actor from the NSD, I can get in and out of character without missing a beat," says Pradhuman who now heads home to Delhi to celebrate the success of Tere Bin Laden with his family. Then he returns to Bollywood to start from scratch. "I've to convince filmmakers that the person I played in Tere Bin Laden looks very different from me."

Irrfan Khan wanted to throw his punches, a la Sanjay Dutt, in Knock Out

Knock Out director Mani Shankar was not willing to comply with Irrfan's insistent requests that he be allowed to do his own share of action to look on a par with the film's leonine action hero Sanjay Dutt. In fact, Irrfan wanted to go further. He wanted to kill the villain in the climax of Knock Out. A thought that exasperated and amused Sanjay Dutt and the director Mani Shankar since Irrfan's character didn't fit the role of the avenging macho man. Says a source, "Irrfan had reservations about his role from the start. When he expressed these reservations to the director Mani Shankar, Mani made it clear that no changes would be made. Irrfan plays an investment banker. How could he turn into a fighter beating up goons and shooting down villains in a true filmy hero style? Mani has made a political thriller set in real time. The action and drama last for exactly two hours, from 11.30 am to 1.30 pm." Disregarding his banker's role Irrfan wanted to throw his punches, a la Dutt. The director tried every ploy to dissuade Irrfan. Finally, Sanjay Dutt had to step in to stop Irrfan's flights of fancy. Director Mani Shankar is reluctant to talk on the subject. Says Mani, "I'm really not allowed to give out anything. Irrfan has a fabulous role. Yes, initially he did have some reservations. But we sorted them out. Now he has his own space in the narrative, no doubt about it."

Reflections - Are we losing lesser stars to regional cinema?

Till a fortnight ago, there was nothing that I knew of this Punjabi film called Mel Karade Rabba. Even though Jimmy Sheirgill - the lead hero of the film - sounded mighty excited during one of our informal chats, I had no clue about the euphoria round the corner. When Jimmy said - 'Bro, picture bahaut garam ho gayi hai' - I felt that this was the pre-release excitement that was making him say those words. When the film released - there was no buzz in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi or Bangalore since its prints were dispatched only in theatres across Punjab, Haryana and overseas - there was no hoopla in the national level media either. And then a day passed by and what followed next was akin to a volcano being erupted. Records started getting broken not just in the Punjab belt but even US, UK, Canada and Australia. Films likes 3 Idiots, Ghajini and Gadar were being spoken about in the same breath. There was a new overseas superstar who seemed to have been born, courtesy the humungous success of Mel Karade Rabba and I was soon set thinking - 'Has Bollywood ignored Jimmy Sheirgill for way too long?' It was this very thought that set me thinking about many other actors who got a far lesser star status for themselves in last few years but delivered whenever an opportunity came their way. In this week's edition of 'Reflections' series, let's look at the way some of the actors, despite their commercial bent, have somehow not seen favourable acceptance in the world of Hindi cinema and instead have found their bearing in regional cinema. A word of caution here though. In this write up, emphasis is only on those actors who have been indeed quite talented or have at least shown sparks of brilliance - whether through sheer acting skills or attitude - in their earlier outings. One of the first such names is of course the subject under consideration, Jimmy Sheirgill, who has been around for a decade and a half but has never ever got his due. For someone who had a supporting role to play in Maachis, he did enjoy a big outing in the form of Mohabbatein. However, he somehow got slotted as a second lead or a supporting actor, something that has continued to plague his standing till date. Recent example is My Name Is Khan. No wonder, while the actor does a A Wednesday and proves himself all over again, he also turns out to be the biggest superstar in Punjabi cinema with a hat trick of successes in Mel Karade Rabba, Munde UK De and Tera Mera Ki Rishta. It's time for Bollywood to wake up and see the talent that may just be absorbed by regional cinema where he is getting the respect that he deserves. Same holds good for another actor Sonu Sood, who though (talent wise) restricted by the characterisation that he can fit into, still has it in him when it comes to edgy roles. Pick up the films where he got a chance to perform - Yuva or Jodhaa Akbar - and had a well etched part to play. He did quite well and showcased a new side of his persona. Of course whenever he has half baked roles coming his way, he has been awkward. Hence, a role has to be in his zone. No wonder, when he goes down South and turns into an out and out villain for a Telugu film like Arundhati, he enjoys a celebrity status for himself. No wonder, the man is absorbing himself big time into South cinema while giving himself that once-a-year opportunity in Hindi cinema by picking on an antagonist's role opposite Salman Khan in Dabangg. Genelia D'Souza's case has been even more puzzling. She does well practically every time (save an effort like Life Partner where she was totally OTT) and in fact made her debut with a Hindi film (Tujhe Meri Kasam) years ago. However, somehow Bollywood hasn't proved to be too accommodating for the pretty girl who went on to deliver multiple hits down South. Now that she has done a dozen films out there, there is some recognition finally coming her way post Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa. Still, the girl is not taking her chances when it comes to her stint down South, especially so with two stuck films It's My Life and Hook Ya Crook. Can we offer her better roles, soon, before she again disappears for long? In that aspect, Sameera Reddy is pretty much playing a smart game. If there is one actress who is turning out to be a Jack (or shall I say Jill?) of all trades when it comes to working in regional cinema, Sameera could well be a front runner. Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Malayalam - you name it and she has done it all. Of course she didn't find huge recognition for her acting skills when she started off in Bollywood. Moreover, some of her recent outings like De Dana Dan too haven't been extraordinary enough to be written home about. Still, the girl has the 'X' factor, something that Sanjay Gupta explored to the fullest in Musafir. However, none of her subsequent directors harnessed this quality of hers, something that made her look for something new in the regional circuits. She may not be a superstar in her new found market but an effort as put on display in recent release Red Alert - The War Within, makes one wonder if film makers before ever took her seriously. Someone who is definitely not being taken seriously is an actress from down South who is trying to make her presence felt in Bollywood - Sadaa. An experienced actress with close to a dozen odd films behind her, all she gets to do is the Love Khichdis and the Clicks of the world. For someone who has worked with none less than Shankar and Vikram in Tamil cinema, she could well be a good addition to Hindi cinema if only the requirement was that of an innocent face and a dignified persona. But seems the wait may only continue for the pretty girl! The same holds good for Shreya Saran who just like Genelia D'Souza has been hanging on for close to a decade but not quite making headway into Bollywood. Of course a start opposite Arya Babbar in (have you have ever heard about it?) Thoda Tum Badlo Thoda Hum was not quite a beginning that Shreya would have been happy about. No wonder, she immersed herself neck deep into South films and managed to rise up the ladder and worked with none less than Rajnikanth in Sivaji. An established star in Tamil cinema, she has made on and off appearances in Hindi films like Ek - The Power of One, Mission Istanbul and Awarapan, only to loose heart and walk back into her comfort zone. However, someone who is doing all to resist this temptation and give a solid fight is Asin, who despite her dozen and a half films in South is determined to make it big in Bollywood. After the high of Ghajini, she had to suffer the low of London Dreams. For many, Ready with Salman Khan may just be a hopeful outing that would turn around her fortunes. If not, the lady who has worked with Kamal Hassan not too many moons ago may well find a safe abode just a flight away. On the other hand, someone who would certainly be looking at cancelling all her flights to South for at least a few more years to come would be Kangna. Tired with all the roles hinting of schizophrenia coming her way, Kangna did bite the bait with a couple of regional films like Dhaam Dhoom and Ek Niranjan. However, she is one individual for which Bollywood has indeed taken notice fast, a result of which is half a dozen films which are up for release and nearly the same number which is slated to go on floors soon. Perhaps her two regional films were just a threat good enough for film makers to insist that she stays back!
