Ek Actor Aisa Bhi – Sonu Sood

2010-03-15T03:45:00.000-07:00

Sonu Sood the Punjabi Puttar of course hails from a Punjabi family. He has worked in Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu movies apart from being connected with bollywood. His father is a businessman and his mother is an English-History professor. By the way, do you guys know that he is an engineer? This is quite disgusting that even after having a professional degree you want to step into an entirely different career just because of the reason that you love being famous. Seems like same happened with Sonu.

Sonu has worked in several hindi movies like Aashique Banaya Aapne, Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi (his much hyped movie with another unsuccessful actress Isha Kppikar!)Sonu Sood has worked in several Tollywood movies also. Recently he broke his long Punjabi nose while shooting. He got two fractures in his nose and is surviving on pain killers these days.

The outcome of only four or five movies decides that whether one is gonna be a successful actor or not but seems like Sonu is constantly denying the result of his movies. May be he should start a production house of his own which is a booming business these days in Hindi cinema or he should start appearing as a judge in various talent shows on television! What say!

Jugal, carry on the struggle!

2010-03-12T05:01:00.000-08:00

Remember the blue- eyed boy singing “ghar se nikalte hi, kuch dur chalte hi...” with guitar in his hands? Yea! You guessed it right, he is none other then Jugal Hansraj. This boy started his career as a child artist in the movie called “masoom”. His role was appreciated a lot. He continued his career as a child artist with the movies like Sultanate and Karma.

Soon the boy grew up into a handsome dude. Jugal's debut movie was “Aa gale lag jaa” with Urmila Matondkar. He also acted as a lead hero in the movie Papa Kehte hain. His career keep on moving with a slow pace and he got several movies afterwards including Salam Namaste, Aaja Nachle, Mohabbatein etc. But all these movies could not win him the fame that he expected from Bollywood.

Jugal's slow career has got two reasons behind it. The first one is that he needs to do a lot of work on his acting skills and secondly he does not have a filmy background so he needs to do a comparatively difficult struggle. So jugal, just keep on trying because slow and steady wins the race! Ok?

Upen Patel-Bollywood Actor without acting!

2010-01-19T02:55:00.000-08:00

This famous but the flop Bollywood actor was born one day after India got its independence. No!I don't mean to say that he is that old. Actually he was born on 16th August 1981. And if you think that this historic kindda birth date, related to the rule of British in our country, has something to do with the British accent in Upen Patel then you are wrong. In fact, he is a British -Indian model who is trying his luck in Bollywood since last few years.

Upen Patel began his career as a model and got a good break in modelling after he won Zee TV's Supermodel Hunt in 2002. He got several modelling assignments with the big brands. He also bagged the MTV India Most Stylish Male Award for two times. He also tried his luck in several music videos including the remix video of "Kya Khoob lagti ho".

Finally Upen stepped in the world of Bollywood by making his debut in the movie "36 China Town".He played a casanova kind of character in this movie. For this performance, he earned few appreciations as he danced well in the movie and was able to hold himself among a bunch of actors. The same movie won him the Filmfare Award for the Best Debut Actor category. But who knew that destiny had kept only this award for him!:)

After "36 China Town" he got to act in several movies like "Namaste London","Shaka Laka Boom Boom" in 2007,"One Two Three","Money Hai To Honey Hai" and "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab kahaani". Whether these movies were a hit or a flop at Box-office is a different story but what Upen Patel got out of them is the real question here. Well....the answer is "nothing".Either he had a guest appearance in these movies or on the other hand, sometimes his role was smaller even then the guest artist!

Okey, now leave behind all the facts and figures related to the number of awards that Upen got or the number of movies starring Upen Patel. But let's think for a while about his acting. What do you think about it? Bad? Worse? Worst? Pathetic? Well...
you may yourself pick any option that you want!

Actors like Upen Patel should rethink about their career in Bollywood because it's a place where looks alone cannot get you fame, money or work in movies. You should really take some acting classes Mr. Patel!

Sohail does not need Salman

2009-07-01T22:20:00.000-07:00

Looks like the Khan Brothers Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan don’t need elder brother Salman Khan anymore. For his latest home production ‘Kissan’, Sohail Khan didn’t cast Salman Khan even for the role of special appearance. When asked the reason behind doing so, Sohail Khan said he didn’t want to corrupt the film by using too many super stars in the film. Salman Khan, who is well known in the industry for not only being a good actor but also being a good brother too, is left all alone by his siblings today.

Sohail Khan said that he did not cast Salman Khan in the film, as it was not required by script and as he has something nice to put across to the audience he didn’t want to corrupt the film buy casting his big brother Salman Khan in it. Salman Khan has always been a part of Sohail Khan’s home production. Be it films like Hello Brother, Heroes or Hello, Salman Khan has done his bit of being available for his brothers and promoting their movies. Then why is it that the Khan Brothers don’t need him this time. Is it the fear of Salman Khan snatching away their part of attention from the audience or is it something else?

Imran Khan in Karan Johar's next

2009-06-26T21:57:00.000-07:00

This gorgeous Khan boy is making the right moves. In fact, we’d say that he’s a few steps ahead of his Mamu. One year into his career and he can already boast of a great line-up of movies, and of course, a huge fan following (read: female). Now Imran Khan has clinched a real biggie, the one big break that almost every actor in B-town waits for — the Dharma camp.

Yes, apparently Imran will be seen in Karan Johar’s next, which is being directed by Puneet Malhotra (Manish Malhotra’s nephew). This newbie director had assisted Karan on K3G and KANK, and now KJo has given him the green signal to head his own venture. And guess who IK’s co-star is for this one, the lovely Sonam Kapoor. Sweet pair, no? And last but not the least... you will never in your wildest imagination guess the title of this movie. It’s tentatively called, I Hate Love Stories. Now are we supposed to believe that the KJo we know hates loves stories? No way! He’s gotta be kidding us.

Saif celebrates birthday mid air

2009-06-26T21:40:00.000-07:00

Jab We Met filmmaker Imtiaz Ali turned a year older recently. And his birthday was one to remember. Saif Ali Khan decided to make it special for Imtiaz mid-air itself as they were travelling on the director’s birthday.

There was a fancy cake and some champagne with all passengers joining in to sing the birthday song on board. Of course, Imtiaz was a wee bit embarrassed. But he was touched as well. On landing he told us, “This is one janamdin I am not going to forget.” Talk about candles in the wind...

Farhan & Deepika to Rock on

2009-06-24T21:56:00.000-07:00

Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone were made to dance on the streets of Kochi when they were shooting there recently for their film Karthik Calling Karthik.

A group of 20-25 youngsters landed at the Kochi Fort where they were shooting and did not allow them to shoot until both Deepika and Farhan danced with them to the tunes of Rock On!!.

Our source present on the sets said, “We had all the necessary permissions to shoot. However, we never thought that crowds would be an issue. Deepika is there films old and Farhan has done just two. South Indian films are more popular in Kochi and we never thought that the crowd would bother with Deepika or Farhan. However, a group of youngsters landed on location and requested the actors to dance with them.”

“Farhan and Deepika, who are both extremely shy, refused at first. However, the crowd went crazy and did not allow them to shoot. They started making a noise and they were so loud that it was impossible to concentrate on the shoot. Finally both of them had to agree. The crowd piped down and left only after Farhan and Deepika danced for at least 10 minutes with them.”

Evidently, the popularity of Bollywood knows no boundaries.

Jackky Bhagnani

2009-06-22T22:04:00.000-07:00

Jackky Bhagnani, who made his debut on the big screen with Kal Kissne Dekha, has been liked by the film fraternity for his performance in the movie. His dancing skills have been appreciated as well. Jackky, who has done a bit of everything — action, romance and comedy — has received good reviews from the critics. His debut movie was made under the banner of Puja films and was produced by Jackky’s dad Vashu Bhagnani.

However, the debutant missed out on the premiere of his film because he was performing at an award function in Macau. And there too, he was cheered by the audience when he performed on Soniye Billori and Ajja Ajja from Kal Kissne Dekha. The performance choreographed by Shiamak Davar had Jackky showing off some cool moves. Looks like this debutant is all set to get the audience grooving with him.

Akshay Kumar

2009-06-22T21:36:00.000-07:00

Akshay Kumar, who has played umpteen roles in the course of his career, must definitely not have bargained for this one. Currently, on a holiday in New York, Disneyland, Puerto Rico, Canada and London with his son Aarav and wife Twinkle, he has taken up a new role, that of a spot boy.

Talking about his ‘job’, Akshay remarked in jest, “On my holiday, I don’t even take calls because I’m a servant.” Then on a more serious note, he quickly added, “I may be one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, but on vacation, my position is equal to that of my spot boy Nitin.” He explained that for the next 21 days, he will be at the beck and call of his son and wife. Like Aarav starts the day by dictating what they will eat for breakfast, how many rides they will take at Disneyland and so on.

“Even if my bones are weary with those amusement park rides, I have to comply with Aarav’s wishes. Just like Nitin complies with my wishes when I am working,” said Akshay, mimicking how he walks faithfully by his son’s side lifting his bag; and taking orders. On days when his darling son wishes to rest in his hotel room, Akshay still doesn’t get the day off. Akshay has to accompany wife Twinkle on her shopping expedition. He talked about how he sits patiently on a bench around the mall that Twinkle visits. “She goes to each shop looking for that exclusive dress. When she has picked up half a dozen, she orders me to sit on a bench. Sometimes she does a little ramp walk for me, asking for my opinion about what she should buy and what she must discard,” remarked the actor.

Shahrukh can become second Mogambo

2009-06-19T22:35:00.001-07:00

Wondering what is this all about? Well, the all time favourite romance king of Bollywood may now play a negative role soon. The news is that director Shekar Kapur is all set to make a sequel to Mr. India, a film that created history in Bollywood. As interesting as it sounds, the director has made up his mind to cast Shah Rukh Khan as Mogambo in Mr. India 2. Reportedly, this role was earlier finalised for Kay Kay Menon, but Shekar changed his mind at the last moment as they required a bigger star for the character.

The lead pair of the film would remain unchanged as according to him, no one could replace the chemistry of Anil Kapoor and Sri Devi. However, SRK still hasn’t nodded yes for the movie. However, it would be great to watch King Khan back in the villain’s shoes after Baazigar.

Sridevi to appear in Salman's show

2009-06-19T22:20:00.000-07:00

He romanced her in Chaand Kaa Tukdaa way back in 1994 and now, she’s his producer. Salman Khan
and Sridevi have always shared a good rapport. So when Salman requested the reticent actress to make an appearance on his television show, 10 Ka Dum, she couldn’t refuse. Insiders say that Sridevi and filmmaker husband Boney Kapoor spent close to five hours on the sets earlier this week and though portions of the show were meant to publicise their film Wanted - the emphasis was on the fantastic rapport between Salman and his former co-star. Boney Kapoor, who is an ardent fan of Salman, said, “Sri has been asked to appear on Koffee with Karan, on Vir Sanghvi’s show and has also been invited by several other prominent talk show hosts. However, she politely refused the offers because she is shy.

But when it came to appearing on Salman’s show, Sri didn’t have to be persuaded. Like me, she also shares a good rapport with Salman.” Apart from acting, Sridevi and Salman also share another common interest - painting. In fact, some of Salman’s paintings are put up in Kapoor’s residence alongside paintings by Sridevi. When Salman got to know about her talent, he requested Boney to sneak in two of her paintings to the sets of the show. Much to Sridevi’s surprise, Salman also showed her paintings to the viewers.

Emran refuses to kiss

2009-06-19T22:11:00.000-07:00

Although Emraan Hashmi has kissed several actresses in most of his films, his ego recently took a beating when Soha Ali Khan refused to kiss him in ‘Tum Mile’, a film based on the 26/7 deluge. Incidentally, Soha had initially agreed to do the scene.

It seems Soha was informed about the scene right from the start. However, on the day of the shoot, she suddenly backed out. Director Kunal Deshmukh tried to convince her but by the time he could do so, it was Emraan who refused to shoot after he heard about Soha’s refusal.

Akshay Upsets Bollywood directors

2009-06-18T21:21:00.000-07:00

Akshay Kumar has been telling producers of most of his films to include international bands apart from the Indian music directors to compose music for his films.

He had convinced producer Mukesh Talreja to get rap artiste Bohemia to compose music for Chandni Chowk to China. He also insisted on including Britain’s popular bhangra band RDB to compose music in two of his forthcoming films - De Dana Dan and Kambakkht Ishq. As a result, Indian music composers like Anu Malik (Kambakkht Ishq) and Pritam (De Dana Dan) are upset with Akshay.

A source said, “There is no denying that RDB and Bohemia give good music but it is unfair to the music directors of the films if any other group is asked to compose music at the eleventh hour. Anu and Pritam’s annoyance is justified. Even Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy were miffed when Bohemia composed music for Chandni Chowk to China, but they let it pass.”

Ratan Jain, producer of De Dana Dan, said, “Akshay can give several ideas but the director has to ultimately decide whether they have to be implemented or not. It’s a good thing that Akshay takes a keen interest in all his projects. He made us listen to the song by RDB but we still haven’t decided whether we will be including it in our film.”

Sajid Nadiadwala, producer of Kambakkht Ishq, admitted that Akshay got RDB to compose music for the film. “Akshay recommended RDB. They are his friends. They had also done the music in Singh is Kinng. We wanted a song with the word ‘Mangalam’ in Kambakkht Ishq. Anu helped us with the way the song starts after which RDB completed it.”

Mukesh Talreja, co-producer of Chandni Chowk to China, too confirmed that Bohemia composed a song in his film because of Akshay. “We were introduced to Bohemia by Akshay,” said Mukesh.

Surprisingly, Anu Malik, known to dislike sharing credits in any film, said, “I have no problem with RDB having done the music Kambakkht Ishq. It’s all about team work and I am happy with the end result.”

Adhyan to get fit for new role

2009-06-18T20:58:00.000-07:00

It’s almost become a norm now overweight star kids going on strict fitness regimes just to lose the extra kilos to enter the big, competitive world of Bollywood. Adhyayan Suman was also a chubby child and plump teen. Standing at 5’11, he weighed over 124 kgs before joining films. Now, for his upcoming film Dekh Bhai Dekh, where he plays an army officer, Adhyayan is going the distance to get a lean, tanned, extremely fit look, because that’s what his director Anand Mahendroo wants.

And we hear that Anand has invested Rs 10 lakhs for a two-week stay and training in Goa for his lead actor. This will include heavy duty outdoor training including running in the sand and running through water, two hours in the gym, power yoga, dance and a disciplined diet. Adhyayan also spent a few days with the jawans to understand the kind of training and discipline they undergo. Now that’s called taking role play seriously!

Anil Kapoor flying high

2009-06-16T20:29:00.000-07:00

Anil Kapoor’s energy seems inexhaustible. He flew 18 hours from Los Angeles, to Mumbai on June 8, only to fly to Macau a day later. The reasons were emotional and personal, as he flew in for daughter Sonam’s birthday and to work out the details of his next film, Shortkut - The Con is On’s release.

“Initially, I wasn’t sure of being there for Sonam’s birthday but when I heard that July 12 was finalised as Shortkut’s release date, I had two reasons to come. Although I had allotted my dates for the thriller series, 24, which is being shot in LA, I had to take time off to come to Mumbai and give my project a head start. From here, I will be going to Macau.

Our source said, “During the day he spent in Mumbai, he met the film’s director Neeraj Vora. He then planned the film’s promotional events schedule with co-actors Amrita Rao, Akshaye Khanna and Arshad Warsi. He also met the marketing and distribution team. After spending just 28 hours in the country, he flew to Macau. After spending the weekend in Macau, he will leave for LA to resume 24’s shoot,” said our source. to promote my film at an awards function,” said Anil.
