Abhishek made us wear black jackets

2012 Bollywood begins with a heist and talking about Players, don't mark down Abbas-Mustan not being one. They are big time Players when it comes to chasing box office successes. Trace their last decade and you'll know how successful they have been in their heist at the box office. The typical setting of a thriller movie is an urban city with colours used from black to grey to white to emphasise the helplessness of characters. Welcome Abbas-Mustan, the colourful duo who'll always be spotted in crisp white from top to toe. Their thriller movies are filled with rainbow colours and their characters emphasise strength. And even though they're masters in twisting the thriller genre in the most unexpected manner, you'll see Abbas-Mustan sitting quietly on their director's chair in front of the monitor, call their shots, pack up, go to the edit table and present you with Bollywood's best thriller movies you'll ever see on the wide 'white' screen, and Players is heading towards being yet another masterstroke by master craftsmen Abbas-Mustan. UK's Harrow Observer columnist and Bollywood Hungama's London correspondent ends the year 2011 with quite a 'thrill' and one of them is seeing Abbas-Mustan wearing 'black'. Shocked? Read on and find out! "We were in Moscow when we got a call from Bipasha and she was jovial and so excited to be a part of Players" We had to go to Russia for some urgent work regarding Players and by that time we had already approached Bipasha to play a part in our movie. We told her to listen to the script in a narration we had kept for her rather than her reading the script. Thrillers are better heard than read we thought. We were in Moscow when we got a call from Bipasha and she was jovial and so excited to be a part of Players. The day we landed, that same evening she came over to our office and the rest is history. "Bipasha looks hot in her bikini and she did not object one bit to wear it" Bipasha worked out for three months before her shoot in New Zealand as she wanted to look at her 'fit' best. We gave her the New Zealand schedule dates and she hit the gym with full force. Bipasha looks hot in her bikini and she did not object one bit to wear it as the scene demanded it. She was very open to suggestions and she too gave her valuable inputs. When she walked out of the waters, the crowd went in frenzy. She was looking hot. "Every film we make is bigger than our previous movie" It's just not the cast who are termed as Players. We too are Players as directors. Our editor and brother Hussain too is a Player. Same with our DOP Ravi Yadav, and though we not necessarily run behind gold (laughs), we do run behind the making of a blockbuster movie. Players is one project we feel we've put a lot into. Every film we make is bigger than our previous movie and we'll make sure that it's as good an investment as gold. "Bobby plays a magician in the movie who creates illusions" Bobby Deol is the surprise package in the movie. He plays a magician in the movie who creates illusions. It will take the audiences by surprise. He has been a dear friend and he's the only actor who has worked with us in most of our movies. He's a sweet chap and his acting abilities are really underrated. We've got the best out of him. "Abhishek made us wear black jackets after a lot of persistence" The great thing about Abhishek Bachchan is that he will listen to you carefully throughout the entire narration. But on the sets, he is a complete director's actor. He will only do what the director tells him. He told us, "I want to go with your conviction and your vision. Please tell me what to do and I will do just that". And of course as we all know, he is a complete prankster. He did make us wear black jackets (laughs). "We met AB's and Aishwarya's cute little daughter. Only time will tell whether she turns out to be a prankster like her dad" We met Abhishek and Aishwarya's kid. She is so cute and adorable. She did give us the look just like Abhishek Bachchan does (laughs). Only time will tell whether she turns out to be a prankster like AB (laughs).

Highlights of VFX and pos

2011 has been quite a vibrant year what with films like Haunted, Shaitan, Ra.One and the varied genres releasing to either a good or unfortunately a bad place at the box-office. With all the 107 films released this year, remaining unique from another, one aspect that forms the common thread in the creative process is the post-production, playing a crucial part in making those films complete. Whether it is 3D stereoscopic filmmaking with ghouls coming towards you in Haunted or pulling off a heist in Berlin in Don 2, the industry is turning the spotlight to innovative filmmaking techniques and post-production process to unleash its inconceivable power. It may perhaps be its visual effects that can make a train destroy the iconic CST station in Ra.One or make Ranbir croon to a larger audience in Rockstar; Indian filmmakers are achieving bigger post-production feats every passing year with their films. Bollywood Hungama explores 2011 a visually effective year in story telling, collaborative efforts and what's in store for the future of digital filmmaking. One of the biggest accomplishments in Indian filmmaking and post-production this year was that, we saw the first 3D stereoscopic film coming to fore with Haunted, a horror film directed by the maverick Vikram Bhatt. The unconventional director shared a common fact that now 3D stereoscopy has become quite a stable platform to make films with since it is not an experimental platform anymore. The director also emphasizes on the fact that 3D theatres are rampant everywhere in the country streaming a lot of 3D content every week. With Haunted being the first stereoscopic film in the country, this trend of stereoscopic filmmaking will prominently gain momentum soon. With the more recent Ra.One, being lauded for its VFX for being almost in par with some of the work churned out from Hollywood's post-production stables, Indian productions are adopting the collaborative post-production effort to beckon better quality VFX and other post-production efforts. Merzin Tavaria, VFX supervisor of Ra.One from Prime Focus, shone light on the 3D conversion process which was conducted simultaneously along with the VFX process saying that with about 4400 shots, it was difficult to manage the conversion process, we broke down each shot and designed on what parts of the frame needs to be pulled up or pushed back. To achieve the VFX in the film, Red Chillies VFX studios and Eyeqube Studios collaborated along with Prime Focus and its global arm in delivering quality post-production work, in a span of six months altogether. One of the largest post-production houses in India, Pixion Studios, contributes VFX for most of the big banner Bollywood films like, Singham, Force, Shaitan to name a few. With Indian cinema leaving a hint of more stereoscopic conversion productions such as Ra.One, Viral Thakkar, CG VFX head of Pixion Studios Mumbai, downplayed the thought of Pixion Studios having a stereoscopic conversion setup in the country at the moment, due to an abundance of projects in its way. Pixion has not had the opportunity to look towards the stereoscopic fragment although the plan ultimately will include a state of the art setup available. With us inching closer to 2012, according to Viral, Indian cinema is going to expect a surge with VFX swinging upwards. He says, "I think most of the films are going to be in 3D, we have just delivered the VFX for Don 2; the film has been converted into 3D at Reliance Mediaworks. The quality plays a very big role if you are converting the films and if the quality is not right then the audience might experience these so called 'headaches'. I think for 2012, Bollywood is definitely going the 3D way at least where the big VFX and Bollywood films are concerned." "The doors have already been opened with Ra.One and Don 2. I think we should see a jump in stereoscopic 3D productions for sure, with a lot of new theatres being equipped and the market witnessing the difference on the revenue that a 3D film can generate, I think there's a big upward trend in here for sure. Although Rockstar does not have very loud VFX in it, it's all invisible and very narrative. I give a, thumbs up to directors who are making this upward trend happen," says an optimistic Merzin on the scale of projects and quality work to hit the Indian post-production scene. "Krrish 3 is going to go on floors in 2012, so there's big movement towards that production and Agent Vinod is going to make a mark as well." Merzin concludes with some of the projects in sight for Prime Focus.

Priyanka plays actress and Shahid music director in Kunal Kohlis next

Priyanka Chopra plays an upcoming actress and Shahid Kapoor plays a struggling music composer from the 1960s in Kunal Kohli's film. And Kohli insists she's a happy character. "Neither Priyanka nor Shahid is in an unhappy space in the script. The fact that they're both intrinsically happy people helped," says the director. Reacting tongue-in-cheek to the character being described as an unhappy actress lost in a haze of alcohol, Kohli quips, "I think they're getting my film confused with the second-half of The Dirty Picture. Priyanka plays a very happy actress in my film." Priyanka and Shahid are in fact supposed to be so well sorted and adjusted that director Kunal Kohli wanted them to visit those emotions, places and friends during the shooting of the film that kept them happy. It is being suggested by certain sources from within the film industry that Priyanka involuntarily ended up spending more time shooting for Kunal Kohli's film with Shahid Kapoor than for Anurag Basu's film with Ranbir Kapoor. When asked if Kunal Kohli's film was in any way responsible for the delay the director protested, "On the contrary, Anurag Basu and I have swapped Priyanka dates. I took his one-month schedule from August 15 to September 15 to shoot in London and I gave my schedule from July 15 to August 15 to Anurag. Beyond that I've no clue about the schedules of Barfee. I shot with Priyanka on the dates allocated to me. That's it." But the fact is, Kunal Kohli's epic film spanning nearly a decade and requiring number of locations was completed in record time, and before Anurag Basu's film, although the latter started shooting long before. And Priyanka Chopra has done as much homework playing the autistic character in Barfee as she has to play the "happy" 1960's actress in Kohli's film. For Kunal's film, she was regularly in touch with two of the sunniest most glamorous actresses of the period Asha Parekh and Saira Banu, taking not just fashion tips but also tips on how to remain positive and sunny. Says Kunal Kohli, "It wasn't just about the clothes and hair. Ashaji and Sairaji represent a certain spirit of bonhomie and joy. I wanted Priyanka to play her character with the same positivity. She is an actress but no bechari and certainly not a victim."

Vishwaroopam is my first bi lingual post Hey Ram

Kamal Haasan talks exclusively to Subhash K Jha on his new Hindi-Tamil bi-lingual & passion for films, read on... Vishwarapoom, your latest brainchild, was supposed to co-star Sonakshi Sinha. What happened? There were dates issue. We tried to work it out. But there were legal contracts and any delay would have had repercussions. So we had to regretfully move on. But there was no ugliness, no bitterness or ego hassles. Wasn't she really young for you? That was the way it was written. I was playing my age. She was playing hers. Vishwaroopam is a project whose direction you had to take over? It was my project and my story. Then time was running out. Sonakshi Sinha's dates were gone. My dates were also running out. I do one project at a time. If the director doesn't respect my time, I will have to. I am very clear on this. If my dates are being wasted the project becomes mine. I've limited time, what with me celebrating a birthday every year. I wish I could celebrate my birthday like the government, every five years. Vishwarooopam is said to be inspired by the Anthony Hopkins starrer Hannibal? After I read that I was really inspired to think about a film based on Hannibal. I may do that in the future. Not this time. Vishwaroopam, I am keeping the theme close to my chest. Here in Tamil Nadu the press has a tendency to jump the gun and draw conclusions and create trouble. For example if I make a spiritual film they'll say since it's Kamal Haasan it has to be subversive , so they'll ban it even before it's ready. Where is Vishwaroopam set? The US, India, UK, Jordon… It's being shot simultaneously in two languages? That's right. In Hindi and Tamil. My first bi-lingual since Hey Ram. I am happy with the work we've done so far. Dasavathaaram got dubbed into Hindi, but the vocabulary was twisted. Unless it's a really funny film like Appu Raja the dubbing doesn't work. The culture-specifications come in the way. How do I say Jaise karni vaise bharni in Tamil? That's why we're doing a double version of Vishwaroopam and needed a leading lady who had no fear of languages. Om Puri Saab has that fear. He refuses to do a Tamil film. Some people fear the unknown too much. I embrace it. Your leading lady in Vishwaroopam? She's Pooja Kumar; a Broadway actress from New York, Punjabi girl of Indian origin. It's a big break for her. Vishwaroopam is probably the biggest film being made in Tamil Nadu right now. You completed 57 years in November. Out of these a good 50 years in front of the camera. Aren't you exhausted? The day I start looking at acting as work I would be. Working for money or fame saps you. I stopped doing that 25 years back The only time I am really happy is when I am in front of the camera. When I am not, I start ruminating, restrospecting and brooding. I equate acting to building card-houses which I used to do as a child. I spent hours doing it. My mother used to shout at me, 'Are you building the Taj Mahal?' For me it was building the Taj Mahal. Today I feel like Shah Jehan trying to build something taller than me (my career).My work is my card-house. I truly admire what they do on the beaches of Orissa. They create true work of art on the beaches and then watch the wind and the waters sweep it away. How do you manage to get so excited about your films even today? Because the first 100 films that I got were market-driven. They were films which everyone presumed were going by the market demand. Actually there was so much I wanted to do. People advised scolded and counseled me about my career. So one day I woke up and decided to nurture Kamal Haasan, the actor. Your recent Dasavatharam is apparently a huge hit in Tamil? Yes, the Hindi dubbing was not a great idea. Then I did Manmadan Ambu which didn't do too well for reasons I won't go into. So many factors go into the making of a film, not just Kamal Haasan or Rajnikanth. You are often forced to take over troubled projects. Wouldn't you just like to focus on acting? But I was always a reluctant actor! I continue to be that. I announce a project, the camera rolls and I'm happy. I'm fortunate to be doing leading parts even now. Except for my mentor K Balachander for whom I can do even a walk-on part. When he directed his 100th film I just walked in to do a small role. I just clowned around on camera. Balachander is my inspiration. He had a heart problem 40 years back. He has been making films for another 46 years .He can never grow old. My father used to be like that until he suffered a stroke. Then I suddenly realized he was an old man. That's also true of my brothers Chandra Haasan and to an extent Charu Haasan. I can never imagine them being old. Your brother-in-law Mani Ratnam too had a heart scare recently? He is a cool cat. I was surprised when he had a heart problem. Yeah I heard he checked into the hospital on his own. He probably scripted a convenient time for his hospitalization. People think my film with Mani Nayakan is my best work. To an extent it's true. But I'd like to think my best is yet to come. Another film with Mani Ratnam? We keep discussing ideas. But we never get down to it. I don't know what we fear. We spoke again on my birthday when he came visiting. He wanted to know what it felt like acting producing and directing all at once. What does it feel like? It's easier to move the table on the sets yourself than to ask someone else to do it. But seriously, direction is a lot of responsibility. But if you've been trained under Balachander as I have, it's a lot easier. You have everything down on paper before you start shooting. Alfred Hitchcock used to say he had everything in his script and then he had to begin the boring process of directing it. By now while directing I am experienced enough to know my moves. What next? There was one character Balram Naidu in Dasavathaaram of a research analyst that became very popular. His speech and personality have become iconic. He was also played by Sanju Bhai (Dutt) in a Hindi film (Chatur Singh 2 Star). So yes, I am returning to comedy. Then someone also wants me to play Tipu Sultan. My hibernating historical Marudanayagam is still talked about. People ask, 'When are we releasing it?' They talk of it as their own. Tipu Sultan was a very controversial figure? We aren't taking the political angle at all. Tipu Sultan is now being researched and written. Are you enthused by Hindi cinema? Yes, some of it. I am very happy Aamir Khan is now attempting films that should've been done ten years ago in Hindi. People attribute this new cinema to the entry of corporate houses in Hindi cinema. But where were these corporate houses when Hrishida (Hrishikesh Mukeherjee) made his films, and Gulzarbhai made Achanak? Brilliant films are possible in every corner of India and at any time. Your elder daughter Shruti Haasan has made a career in both Tamil and Hindi? I'm proud of her because she isn't doing a product of our home banner Rajkamal Films. The only thing Rajkamal did for her was to give her a chance to do the background score in Unnaipol Oruvan. It wouldn't matter to me if she failed as a movie actress. But right now it looks like a winning streak. Do you advise her on her choice of films? No. When we talk career we get into an argument. I know it sounds cliched, but we talk as friends. Every father says that. This started 10-12 years back. In Hindi films she is facing the same problems I did. If a K. Balachander hadn't come along to do Ek Duuje Ke Liye with me in Hindi I wonder what would've happened to me! I would have suffered much worse because Shruti is far more savvy than me. Don't you want to act in a film with her? Shruti has been telling me that we should. But I don't want her to do it just for the heck of it. She is a star now. I want her to act in one of our home productions for the glory of our banner. By the way for the Tamil version of Dasavthaaram she was my coach for my American accent. She had just returned from the US and was the perfect medium to help her father's Madrasi accent to be transformed into a yankee accent. She was a bully. She made me do many retakes in the dubbing. And after the dubbing she wanted me to correct some more of my accent. Eveyone thought that was taking it a little too far (laughs). And your younger daughter? Every time Akshara stands behind the camera and says, 'This is where I want to be I am reminded of myself.' I started behind the camera and gradually moved to the front.

What happened at Salmans birthday bash

Sangeeta Bijlani was a very prominent part of Salman's guest-list at his birthday binge. Says a guest from Salman's celebration, "Sangeeta was very much a comfortable part of Salman's family. She mingled freely with the guests and was an integral part of the Khan family. Salman has reached that comfort zone with Sangeeta where she can blend with the family without being attached to Salman." Interestingly, the guest-list at this year's birthday party included very few female guests, corroborating the growing belief that Salman is now looking at a serious permanent relationship. Says the guest, "Besides Sangeeta Bijlani who was there as part of Salman's family, the only recognizable female guests were Kangna Ranaut, Shriya Saran, Diana Hayden and Mugdha Godse. Salman kept a distance from the ladies and danced the night away with his buddies." Anil Kapoor was not only there with his brother Boney Kapoor, Anil broke into his '1 2 Ka 4' dance number from Ram Lakhan on the dance floor with Salman. Says the guest, "Every time a song played, the relevant star was pulled to the dance floor by Salman. Imran Khan who was there with his wife Avantika joined Salman for a jig when 'Pappu Can't Dance Saala' came on." Salman and his close friend Sajid Nadiadwala were constantly in serious conversation. Shirish Kunder who will be directing Salman in Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick was there with his wife Farah Khan. Clearly, the couple's friendship with Shah Rukh Khan is over. The highlight of the night was Salman and Sonu Sood's joint efforts on the dance floor to the sound of 'Munni Badnaam'. Apparently, Salman pulled out all stops and danced as though there was no tomorrow. Says the guest, "He was very comfortable in male company, polite and aloof with the ladies. This birthday Salman was clearly in a mellow and guarded frame of mind. We suspect he'd be married by the time the next birthday is around." Salman played the perfect host. "He looked after us so wonderfully. On his earlier birthdays, he would just be there while we made ourselves comfortable at his farmhouse. But this time, he looked after every guest personally, right until Wednesday afternoon when the party ended. Salman made sure every guest stayed for the breakfast of parathas. He told all of us we couldn't leave without tasting the 'brilliant parathas' that are made on his farm. No one refused. You can't say no to Salman." Interestingly, Farhan Akhtar, fresh from his collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, was also present at Salman's birthday bash in Panvel. Salman, we hear, is seriously considering a film for Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani's banner. Sonu Sood who flew down for just 5 hours on Tuesday night from Hyderabad said it was a trip worth making. "Not everyone gets a call from Salman bhai to come to his birthday. I couldn't refuse. I flew out of Hyderabad at 9 pm on Tuesday, reached Salman's farmhouse in Panvel by 12.30, stayed for four hours and flew back to Hyderabad in the morning. I'd do the same again. But only for Salman bhai."

SRK silences detractors as Don 2 turns into a hit

Shah Rukh Khan must have gone through some real anxious times when the Thursday evening press show resulted in select mischief mongers spreading negative word of mouth about his latest release Don 2. Critics in general weren't really kind too and despite the fact that the film took the best opening ever for a non-holiday release, there were many waiting with daggers and all set to attack after the weekend went by. However as things stand today, Shah Rukh is pretty much having the last laugh with the film holding well even on the weekdays, hence ensuring that the film is a clean hit and may just turn superhit. "Don 2 has done well and now all eyes are on how far would it go", says a source, "Of course Ra.One backlash coupled with the fact that the film hasn't been designed for universal audience means that the film wouldn't end up creating or beating records set this year. However, it is now entering the Rs.100 crore club and make neat profits for all involved. For Shah Rukh this is now his second century in a row. Of course Ra.One was touted to do much better but negative word of mouth aborted its run, though not before it managed Rs.115 crore for itself. However in case of Don 2, multiplex audience across the country are liking the film which is a big plus." There are some who are of the belief that given the fact brand Shah Rukh is involved, each film of his should be setting benchmarks instead of just coming close to them and compare with the contemporaries. "Agreed, but for that a film should be designed as the one with universal appeal as well", says a prominent filmmaker on condition of anonymity, "If he plays to his strengths and ends up serenading women in chiffon sarees for a Yash Raj film, he is bound to set records. However, of late he has been experimenting too much and making a conscious call to stay away from mushy affairs, case in point being a My Name Is Khan, Ra.One or Don 2. Results are of course going to be mixed." However, his fans worldwide are now rooting for him to do get back into wholesome family entertainment mood as a result of which in months to come, he would begin films which, as per industry parlance, are considered to be 'safe'. "Yash Chopra's film that he is doing with Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma cannot go wrong. Then there is Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express for which he starts shooting with Kareena Kapoor. These are the films that have an eye on multiplexes as well as single screen audience. Guess Shah Rukh is through with technology, gizmos and 3D now, it is time to get that major biggie which would shut the mouth of even the staunchest of detractors", the filmmaker adds. His fans wouldn't mind that either.

Big B has a fan in Farahs son

This is the classic tale of the teacher and the tot. Apparently, the Big B has inadvertently aided Farah Khan's little son Czar's enhanced performance in school. When Czar was under-performing in his English speech it was the Big B's famous 'Walk In English, Talk In English' speech from Namak Halaal that came to the child's rescue. Reveals the proud mother, "I taught it to him .You see, Czar's teachers told me he only spoke in Hindi and Marathi. I was advised to encourage him to speak in English. So, I taught him Amitji's Namal Halaal monologue which according to me is a most comprehensive English primer for any child. Filmy maa hoon na." On Wednesday, at the house-warming party at Farah's place, Czar got his chance to have his say in front of the man who came to his rescue in school. Czar recited his Namak Halaal monologue, much to the Big B's delight as he realized that a new generation of Bachchan fans in the tiny-tot section is gearing to keep the legend going. Now that papa Shirish Kunder is making a film called The Common Man with the Big B, his little son Czar is determined to prove that the Big B is an uncommon man. Incidentally, Farah's chum Sanjay Leel Bhansali who is not a kids' person gets on famously with Czar. Sanjay has promised to launch Czar as a hero. Mom Farah is already the leading lady in SLB's sister Bela Sehgal's film. Like mother, like son, eh?

Karan and Ive always backed the young talents

Digest this! Ekta Kapoor is holidaying in Thailand and shaking in her chair watching a movie in 4D. It's Mission Impossible. Now, out here in misty Mumbai, the Indian Film Fraternity has literally not stopped shaking since yesterday over the biggest news of 2011 that read - 'Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor are coming together in 2012 to produce a love story with a twist'. Then there's still The Dirty Picture pushing its way and inching closer to a Rs.90 crore mark. But that one question everyone's been asking since a couple of years is - What's going on? What does Balaji Motion Pictures do that's so extraordinary? So after talking to Ekta this morning, I've come to know that the extraordinary thing isn't the movies that she makes, it's the people that she collaborates with. Welcome aboard Dharma Productions and Karan Johar. Together, they've announced their first maiden venture for the big screen - an untitled movie written by Althea Kaushal, directed by debutant Akshay Roy and backed by two creative heads that are making a lot of heads spin since the last twenty four hours. Come to think of it, their biggest competition will be this question - Can they make a love story that pushes the envelope? Hell yes! Currently in the scripting stage, Ekta and Karan have always believed in giving creative ownership to their team and believe it or not, that same possession will bring about the revolution once this biggie hits the big screen. And no matter what the world says, the duo are here to shake things up big time because they share in common the belief that they don't make movies to make money, they make money to make movies. UK's Harrow Observer columnist and Bollywood Hungama's London correspondent dials all the way to Thailand and talks to India's prized possession who is just not holidaying but thinking every second of her time - How do I get time from the busiest people in the world and entertain them? For a woman who has made a living fostering creativity talks about pushing teams beyond their comfort zone, encouraging rebellious new talents, building morale and her favourite love stories. Ekta, it's your turn now! "The Dirty Picture has surpassed beyond my expectations" I'm really hoping that The Dirty Picture reaches the three figure mark. The movie has surpassed way beyond my expectations. But let me tell you, the movie that Karan and I have announced yesterday has been in the talks before The Dirty Picture had released. We were jamming for sometime over this thing and I know the expectations have gone overboard because two very interesting companies have joined hands. "Karan has got that slice of life in his movies that are filled with love in abundance. So hopefully the combination will work" The movie is smart and will be an interestingly shot film with debutant director Akshay Roy in the hot seat. I was so charged about this movie when Karan and I discussed this. It's a very content driven film. The few things I've done in our movies are edgy, bold and innovative and Karan has got that slice of life in his movies that are filled with love in abundance. So hopefully the combination will work. "We never want our movies to buckle under the pressure of expectations. We make movies that we like" There is no success formula in Balaji Motion Pictures office. I've never believed that there is a success formula to make movies. We first make sure what we want to make and the rest is history. We never want our movies to buckle under the pressure of expectations and over the top enthusiasm. It'll never happen that one day you'll make a movie that everyone will like. If it happens, it's great. But we make movies that we like and will keep doing that all my life. "I believe romance is always edgy" I did the most edgy and innovative love story quite a few years ago on the television called Kasautii. It was a cursed love story. But yet it was an identifiable emotion and an understandable one. Love cannot be self-explanatory for everyone to understand sometimes. I believe that romance is always edgy. "My favourite love story is Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and that's why I went to Karan Johar" Honestly, my favourite love story is Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and that's why I went to Karan Johar to talk about this love story that we are making. In the history of love stories this is my favourite and then not far behind is Maine Pyaar Kiya along with Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. KANK was a very bold and a brave attempt by Karan back then and sometimes the uncomforting works better in love stories. "Karan and I've always backed the young talents. See how many good directors he has launched" Akshay Roy is a young boy and very hardworking. Karan and I've always backed the young talents. See how many good directors he has launched. We got to give someone a chance to prove his mantle and Akshay is hell bent on proving just that through this film. "Althea Kaushal and Akshay Roy are great finds" No casting will ever start for me till the entire script is locked and ready. Althea Kaushal is writing this movie of ours. Both Althea and Akshay are great finds. It's easy to call the cast and tell them to come on board. The kind of attitude, styling and mannerisms for characters will only be visible if the movie's written in its entirety. That's when we know whom to approach for the movie. We will never know the nuances till the characters are ready and that's when our actors will be ready too.

Akshay and Ashvinis first venture titled Oh My God

Akshay Kumar and Ashvini Yardi, the former head of programming of Colors, plan to launch their film company Grazing Goat Productions, with a film titled Oh My God. Oh My God is based on Paresh Rawal's critically acclaimed and successful Gujarati play Kanji Virrudh Kanji, which was adapted in Hindi as Krishna Vs Kanhaiya. Kanji Virrudh Kanji is a story about the clash between an atheist and God. Oh My God will be directed by Umesh Shukla, who also directed the play and Paresh Rawal will reprise the protagonist's role in the film. Paresh will also be the line producer for the project. Akshay was to play the role of Lord Krishna in the film but had to opt out as he is tied up with five films next year, namely Joker, Rowdy Rathore, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Part 2, Khiladi 786 and Special Chabbis. They are now planning to rope in some other big star for the role of Lord Krishna. The film will go on floor in the first week of January, 2012 and is expected to release in the last quarter of 2012

'Dark Knight Rises' Star Anne Hathaway Talks Catwoman

'It's just a matter of doing your homework and getting underneath the character's skin,' actress says. By Kevin P. Sullivan Anne Hathaway in "The Dark Knight Rises" Photo: Warner Bros While it may feel like the trailers and photos from "The Dark Knight Rises" have shown us a lot from Christopher Nolan's third and supposed final trip to Gotham City, we have yet to see that much from Catwoman. After spy photos from the set forced their hand, Warner Bros. released an early look at Anne Hathaway's take on Gotham's most notorious cat burglar astride the Batpod, but aside from that photo and her brief but enticing appearance in the theatrical trailer, Selina Kyle's role in "Rises" remains a mystery. Hathaway did, however, open up to the L.A. Times' Hero Complex during a visit to the London set of "The Dark Knight Rises." She spoke at length about why she loves her so-far divisive costume and how her Catwoman fits into Nolan's Gotham. Check out our photo analysis of Hathaway's Catwoman. When Warner Bros. released the first photo of Hathaway in full Catwoman attire, fan reaction ranged from full-fledged support to outright hatred. Hathaway has always stood by the costume's unusual take on the classic look, and she once again made her case to Hero Complex. "I love the costume because everything has a purpose," she said. "Nothing is in place for fantasy's sake, and that's the case with everything in Christopher Nolan's Gotham City." Once Hathaway won the highly coveted role, she dove deep into research, taking in Catwoman's classic comic book appearance and the original inspirations Bob Kane and Bill Finger used to create the character. Hathaway said she drew inspiration from actress Hedy Lamarr to help shape her performance. "[Lamarr] takes these long, deep, languid breaths and exhales slowly," Hathaway said. "There's a shot of her in [the 1933 film] 'Ecstasy' exhaling a cigarette and I took probably five breaths during her one exhale. So I started working on my breathing a lot." From there, a lot of the heavy lifting belonged to Nolan and his brother Jonathan, who co-wrote the script with the director. According to Hathaway, this Catwoman follows the pattern set by Nolan's other Gotham City residents. "You look at Heath's performance as the Joker, there was a lot of madness there but there was also a grace and he had a code there. There's a lot of belief and codes of behavior in Gotham and my character has one, too," she said. "A lot of the way she moves and interacts with people is informed by her worldview. Chris has given us all such complex, defined, sophisticated worldviews that it's just a matter of doing your homework and getting underneath the character's skin." Do you think Anne Hathaway will kill it as Catwoman? Let us know in the comments below! Related Photos Analyzing Anne Hathaway's Catwoman Costume In 'Dark Knight Rises'
