Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif as Bollywood first choice?

In Bollywood that every second biggie which gets launched has either Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif as their first choice?’. In fact I remember penning a piece around the same lines exactly a year ago – Super six in charge of Bollywood today where the choices, though topped by Kareena and Katrina, were still much wider. There were Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai in close contention for that No. 3 slot while Deepika Padukone and Kangna Ranaut were fighting it out to make their presence felt in Top-5 as well. While the top order remains intact, seems like there is some reshuffle round the corner when it comes to the other slots. This is what leads me to this week’s ‘Reflections’.The other day when I was penning my thoughts on the amazing journey of Katrina Kaif over the years, a thought crossed my mind – ‘What is indeed the state of affairs (more…)

Katrina-Imran’s film has the agenda of bridging the gap between India and Pakistan”Ali Zafar”


Singer turned actor Ali Zafar has been making waves in Bollywood with his very first Bolly flick Tere Bin Laden.
The cute looking actor plans to do the same with his next, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. The Yash Raj Film, which also stars Katrina Kaif and Imran Khan in the lead, is one film that Ali is eagerly looking forward to release.
The actor has sung 3 songs in the film and is sure that the numbers will be chartbusters. However, by doing Bollywood films Ali is not only trying to make a mark for himself in India, but he also has the agenda of bridging the gap between India and his home country Pakistan. (more…)

Imran Khan working with Kareena & Katrina


In Bollywood, two actresses can apparently never be friends. And if two of the industry’s top heroines are working with the same actor, there are bound to be comparisonsespecially if the heroines in question are not exactly BFFs. And the actor to be stuck in the above situation is none other than Imran Khan. (more…)

Imran Khan is having a lot of fun working with Ali Zafar

Imran Khan is having a lot of fun working with Ali Zafar: supposed enmity, Ali Zafar, Imran Khan, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, onscreen brothers, Ali surfaced, off-screen, sources stating, things are different, shocked, Pakistani Prince of Pop, lot of fun

 

Much has been said about the supposed enmity between the Bollywood heartthrob, Imran Khan and Pakistani Prince of Pop Ali Zafar. Reports of the tiff between Imran and Ali surfaced from the film sets of ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan‘ with sources stating that the onscreen brothers are not getting along well off-screen.
However, we have just found out things are different and Imran Khan is having a lot of fun working with Ali. Even, Ali Zafar was shocked to hear the rumours and didn’t know where they started. In an interview with an Indian tabloid, Imran praised Ali’s dry sense of humor and said that he’s a really funny guy.
“Ali Zafar is playing my brother and I’ve been having a lot of fun working with him. It turns out he’s a really funny guy in real life! He has a really dry, deadpan sense of humor, and really enjoys messing with people, kind of like Punit (director of I Hate Luv Storys). So half the time I’m laughing, the other half of the time I’m begging him to stop before someone punches him. Again, like Punit.”
Yash Raj Films’, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan has already generated a lot of interest in the masses and is one of the most anticipated movies this year. The film which completes its shooting schedule soon, is slated to release in theatres worldwide on 9th September 2011.

Katrina Kaif finds herself caught between Ali and Imran

They have both denied it, but rumours of Ali Zafar and Imran Khan snubbing each other like bitter exes at a new year eve’s party have not yet died down. Which probably makes shooting together for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan a real chore, but probably helps emphasize tension between them as they both fall for the same girl (in the film). For all we know it’s all just method acting anyway. (more…)

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan inspired by Sorry Bhai?

In a career that has pretty much off and on since her days Hazaron Khawaishen Aisi Chitrangda took a bold step of working in a film that defied stereotypes. The film in question was Sorry Bhai which was released exactly two years ago and although not many saw the movie, the fact remains that this Onir directed film was way ahead of his time, especially for Bollywood audience.
However, one might well see the movie in another Avtar in 2011 when Katrina Kaif’s Brother Mere Ki Dulhan arrives in theaters. This is because it is difficult to ignore the resemblance of the basic salary of the film plot – that of Imran Khan in love with his brother (Ali Zafar of Tere Bin Laden fame) dulhan (Katrina Kaif).
Says a film observer, “It is astonishing that the makers of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan actually released the synopsis as early as the film would only release in mid 2011. Were they told that the public is not able to catch similarities with Sorry Bhai ?
There’s only defense that the movie will. Many believe that since Brother Mere Ki Dulhan coming from the house of Yash Raj Films, the lively treatment would make a difference.
“While one waits to see how different is the basic storyline of Brother Mere Bhai Ki Dulhan out Sorry, the fact remains that Yash Raj would be looking at a completely different film than what Onir did. They come with different sensitivities total” , he adds “While Yash Raj would be targeted at young and family audiences, the film Onir had a shocking couple of elements that had resulted in Sorry Bhai coming across as a rather daring film. One of these sequences was a bold love scene who was shot between Chitrangda Sharman and a dressing room of a lifestyle store. “

Irrfan Khan Or Adil Hussain: Who Will Play Pi’s Father In Ang Lee’s Movie?

Taiwanese American director Ang Lee’s much-discussed project “Life of Pi” is still in the process of finalizing the casting for the last few weeks. There was a buzz that Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan has been approached for the role of the father of Pi in the movie to play.
However, according to sources, has Adil Hussain, who was last seen in Ishqiya, rounded to Pi’s father to play and has already reached Taiwan. Ang Lee Irrfan reportedly met when he was shooting for the “In Treatment” and they had good communication is not, because of Khan’s involvement with the other project.
On the other hand, the very talented actress Tabu joined the cast as the mother of Pi, which will be tried by a 16-year-old newcomer Suraj Sharma from Delhi. Actor Gerard Depardieu in “La Vie en Rose” fame is also reportedly joining the cast of the Frenchman to play in the film.
Now, reports suggest that Irrfan was never approached for the role of the father of Pi instead he offered to the elderly essay Pi. So, Adil Hussain has reportedly bags on the role of the father of Pi and he looks very good with Tabu.
Ang Lee met Adil in Mumbai during the first week of November and he is the best Gujarati character. Other Indian actors were considered for the role, but no one could impress Ang Lee.

The film is likely to release on December 14, 2012 shooting and is probably starting on January 19, 2011 in Pondicherry. Until then, let’s see who will ultimately Pi’s father in the Ang Lee film playing!

Are Imran-Deepika happy with BREAK KE BAAD?

BREAK KE BAAD released a Friday ago and is now almost extinct at the box office, what with newer releases (KHELEN HUM JEE JAAN SEY, RAKHT CHARITRA 2, PHAS GAYE RE OBAMA) occupying majority of screens in multiplexes all over. The film didn’t see many favourable reviews coming its way on its release. Audience reception was so-so as well and eventually there wasn’t much escalation in foot falls as this Kunal Kohli production further went downhill with every passing day. Meanwhile, there were talks about Break Ke Baad managing to break even due to its satellite rights. Now while this is great news for the makers, the fact remains that it is hardly great enough news for Bollywood in general. Let aside audience being happy, one can be rest assured that even Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone won’t be highly pleased with the theatrical business of the film even though the makers made money. Reason being that any actor would crave for attention with their fan base stepping into theaters to watch their films rather than see them for the first (and only) time straight on television.
