Saif-Iqbal Scuffle Exclusive: Did Iqbal misbehave with Kareena?

Posted on February 22, 2012 by sputnik | Post Comment (9 views)

Actor Saif Ali Khan losing his cool after media reports of his scuffle with South African trade official came in, has raised a lot of eyebrows.

Sources suggest that the complainant Iqbal Meer Sharma too was at a fault because of which a petty argument took a grave turn. Sharma allegedly misbehaved with Saif’s female folks (especially Kareena) and called them “a bunch of hooligans.”

Saif has been accused to have assaulted Iqbal Meer Sharma, who’s an NRI and his father-in-law (senior citizen) last night at a brawl inside a nightclub at Taj hotel in Colaba, but an insider present at the restaurant has a different version to recollect, “It was not Saif’s fault alone, as Iqbal came on their table and started arguing and misbehaving with the ladies (Kareena, Karisma and Amrita Arora Ladhak), which miffed Saif, who asked him to go back to his table, but Iqbal too was in high spirits and stared at the actor quite constantly.”

As per an insider, Saif lost his temper, “Finally, Saif reacted and in retaliation, he punched Iqbal on his face, which broke his nasal bone,” suggests the insider.

Meanwhile, Iqbal denied misbehaving with the ladies, “It is false, they are now trying to play safe.

Salman Khan readies himself for Dabangg 2

Posted on February 21, 2012 by aryan | Post Comment (3 views)

Actor Salman Khan is going to be busy as a bee…

The actor is all set to embark on the shooting of Dabangg 2, and with Arbaaz Khan holding the directorial baton this time round, Salman is only going to get more involved in the making of this film.

Salman has returned to Mumbai only recently after finishing shooting for Ek Tha Tiger with Katrina Kaif. He’s all set to play Chulbul Pandey once again, with some hard-hitting action scenes and punchy dialogues.

Sajid Wajid are ready with a few songs for the movie already, and the makers are confident that the music will take this movie to another level altogether. If that isn’t enough, Arbaaz, we hear has made some intelligent changes to the script. Though the theme will remain similar to the original, there have been a few characterisation changes: a few new characters come into play in Dabangg 2, while a few characters from the original have been axed out completely.

The crew has decided to go along with the same look of Chulbul Pandey! The rights of Dabangg 2 have been known to have fetched an offer of whopping 140 crores, however, Arbaaz, we hear isn’t willing to sell them just yet!

Gulzar’s Tribute to Madan Mohan

Posted on February 21, 2012 by sputnik | Post Comment (6 views)

When I entered the music industry, Madan Mohan was already an established name – a man of great repute and a music director respected by all. We could start working together only in the early 1980s. Nonetheless, we had known each other earlier for several years. In fact, I first met him at N.C. Sippysaab’s place. He was on one of his regular evening visits to Sippysaab’s household along with his sister, Shanti Mahendroo and niece Anju Mahendroo. For them, it was almost like a family reunion and for me those moments were golden opportunities to meet Madanji. On several occasions, I interacted with him in Sippysaab’s house and only twice had I met him at Sippysaab’s office in Ranjit Studio. Thus, through such close encounters, I got to know him better. Being in the film industry and already associated with music, I was aware what a luminary he was. I had immense respect for him and demonstrated it, whenever we met.

A few years later, I prepared the script of Koshish (1972), inspired by the Japanese film Happiness Us Alone and showed it to Sippysaab. In those days, Sippysaab was known to produce films of a different genre. He showed the script to other people known to him from the film industry and asked their opinion.

Paan Singh Tomar was a rebel, not dacoit: Director

Posted on February 21, 2012 by sputnik | Post Comment (4 views)

Director Tigmanshu Dhulia, whose forthcoming ‘Paan Singh Tomar’ is based on the real life of the sportsman-turned-dacoit from Chambal, says he has portrayed Tomar as a rebel in the film.

Tomar, a national steeplechase champion for seven straight years, quit the sport and the army to become a ‘Bandit King’ of the Chambal Valley.

“As a director, for me Tomar was not a dacoit but a rebel. He is someone who had struggled a lot in his life,” Dhulia said.

The director also said that he first learned about Tomar while working on the sets of Shekhar Kapur’s ‘Bandit Queen’ in Chambal.

Intrigued that Tomar was largely forgotten despite holding several records, he resolved to make a film about his life.

Dhulia researched the film’s background for two years, interviewing Tomar’s surviving family members and visiting his native village in Bhind.

Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, who is essaying the role of the titular character, said it was a challenge to play the character of a dacoit.

“It was a challenge for me to play Tomar. His life was full of uncertainty and confusion. I tried to portray him as he actually was in order to do justice to the role,” said Irrfan Khan.

Real duration of Saif’s Agent Vinod revealed

Posted on February 21, 2012 by sputnik | Post Comment (4 views)

For one of his endorsements, Saif Ali Khan may be advocating ‘Make it large’. Guess the same philosophy holds true for his films as well. While Agent Vinod is definitely larger than life, it has also been revealed that the film is longer than an average commercial Bollywood affair.

“Yes, the film is a little longer than an average mandate of two hour requirement. Agent Vinod runs into two hours and thirty minutes. It is considerably longer if one looks at 90% of other Hindi films which are being made in the recent times. However there won’t be any negotiation on the running length as Saif as well as his director Sriram Raghavan believe that Agent Vinod needs such kind of time and space for its story telling. The final edit has been locked for 150 minutes and that’s the way it is going to remain”, informs a prominent crew member.

In fact when they met some exhibitors who wanted to know the final length of Agent Vinod, Saif and Sriram were candid enough to inform them about the real duration. On being asked if the film would be further edited, they put their point of view on the table.

“Exhibitors thought that by reducing the film’s length, they could pump in more number of shows per multiplex.

Deepika denies being offered Chennai Express

Posted on February 21, 2012 by sputnik | Post Comment (4 views)

A lot of rumours have been doing the rounds about how Deepika will be doing Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express opposite SRK. But Deepika claims that she hasn’t even been approached for the role yet.

Sources say that Deepika is amused with the rumours doing the rounds considering she hasn’t even been approached for the role. In fact, Deepika is very fond of Rohit Shetty’s work and if she was offered the film, she would’ve loved to work in it.

Says Deepika, “I haven’t been approached for Chennai Express. Having said that, I’ve watched all of Rohit’s films, he’s a fabulous filmmaker and I would love to work with him someday.”

Asin’s official statement on SRK, Ranbir starrers

Posted on February 21, 2012 by sputnik | Post Comment (6 views)

For Asin, enough is enough. Not really pleased with all the rumours making the rounds about her professional outings, she is outraged with the recent reports that have shocked her as well. Though there is a news piece under circulation that claims that she has signed a film each with Shah Rukh Khan (Chennai Express to be directed by Rohit Shetty) and Ranbir Kapoor (2 States to be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala), she is categorically denying any such developments.

She says, “I am shocked and surprised at these rumours. I don’t know how a particular journalist can write that when I haven’t even spoken anything to anyone. It’s wrong. I am not the kind of person to talk about my films before I have signed them. I have never done that before in my career and that’s not my ethics. If I have signed something, I let the production house announce it. Of course I would love to work with Shah Rukh, Ranbir, Rohit and Sajid again for their respective films. But as of now it’s too early to say anything. I’d like the press to be a bit more responsible.”

Well, this should set the records straight.

Jodi Breakers cleared of plagiarism charge

Posted on February 21, 2012 by aryan | Post Comment (3 views)

Jodi Breakers has been exonerated from charges of plagiarism levelled by the producers of the French film Heartbreakers, which was said to have inspired the Hindi movie releasing Friday.

Apparently the lawyers appointed by the producers of Heartbreakers saw Jodi Breakers, which has Bipasha Basu and R. Madhavan in the lead roles, and came to the conclusion that there were no overt similarities between the two films.

Sounding relieved, the film’s director Ashwini Chaudhary said: “Their lawyers have concluded that there are no similarities between their film, and ours. The fact that they came to this conclusion comes as no surprise to me.

“I was aware that there were no similarities between the two films, other than maybe the similar-sounding titles. I don’t know who started this whole allegation against our film. This is not the kind of publicity we were looking for.”

Chaudhary feels there must have been provocation to press for the plagiarism charges.

“Why else would they have suddenly chosen to accuse us of plagiarism without seeing a single frame of our film? After the charges, I had given them a synopsis of my script. Then I had offered to let them read my script in my office provided they first signed a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement).

Halkat Jawani, item song from Heroine, sparks interest

Posted on February 21, 2012 by aryan | Post Comment (12 views)

A second round of filming is underway for Heroine, Madhur Bhandarkar’s film with Kareena Kapoor, from today.

Meanwhile, fresh interest has sparked in the film with first reports of Kareena Kapoor’s item song in the film. Apparently, she performs two, one of which is Halkat Jawani, composed by Salim-Sulaiman.

Halkat is not actually a Hindi or Marathi word, but Mumbaiya slang which loosely translated is ‘Nasty’ or ‘Mischievous’ in English. You get the gist.

Perhaps Kareena will be seen doing the lavani, the Marathi folk dance that is Bollywood’s best-loved dance form this season. Katrina Kaif just did it in Agneepath and Vidya Balan’s doing it in Ferrari Ki Sawaari.Can the fiercely competitive Kareena not stake her dibs too?

Filming for Heroine first began with Kareena in November last year. Earlier Bhandarkar famously signed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the film and made a grand announcement at the Cannes film festival in May, as Aishwarya posed for photo-ops.

The film was temporarily shelved when Aishwarya’s pregnancy was outed by father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan in the now famous all caps tweet. Bhandarkar said he was never told by Aishwarya and the Big B’s breaking news tweet was when he came to know.
