MUMBAI MIRROR (May 6, 2012)

 

I’ve directed three shorts, of which two have won awards. But at 17, I don’t quite know what my next step should be. I thought of asking Mirror to help me out with a chat with Ram Gopal Varma, a man who is actually living my dream. Making films he wants to and also casting my favourite actor Amitabh Bachchan in most of them. And they did! Read the rest of this entry »

Cricketer Cris Gayle, it seems, is seriously looking at a Bollywood career in the near future. “I am going to rock Bollywood and take it away from Salman Khan,” says Chris with a smile, adding, though, that he hasn’t seen a single Bollywood film yet! We dig a little further to check if the mighty cricketer is pulling a fast one but Chris says it all with a straight and serious expression, “Shah Rukh will sort it out for me, I am sure.” He adds, “I did joke about it with Shah Rukh, but I am seriously looking for a big break in Hindi movies next year.

It can finally be confirmed. Twinkle Khanna is pregnant. She is already in her second trimester and will deliver her second baby in September 2012.

For months, there has been speculation over whether she is preggers or not. It didn’t help matters that she hasn’t been seen in public since she conceived. Not just parties and events, she even stopped meeting friends. But now she’s ready to share her happy news and last week she told a few of her close friends.

Says a source, “Tina (as Twinkle is better known) and Akshay (Kumar) are expecting their second child. She was advised rest, which is why she hasn’t attended any function or event in months. She even skipped Riteish Deshmukh’s wedding and David Dhawan’s son Rohit’s wedding in Goa earlier this year.”

Paoli Dam may just have made it more difficult than ever for Bollywood actresses to be coy on screen. A few months after Vidya Balan made ripples with her unfettered act in ‘The Dirty Picture’, Dam, 31, seems to have pushed the boundaries even further with ‘Hate Story’. An established heroine in Bengali films, Dam — whose claim to fame might well become her ‘bold’ roles, including the full monty in the unreleased ‘Chatrak’ — tells Meenakshi Sinha why she’s uninhibited under the arclights Read the rest of this entry »

Mumbai: The sordid Simran Sood-Vijay Palande episode has brought Bollywood’s infamous casting couch under the scanner yet again. While some say that many newcomers continue to encounter it, others maintain that this now takes place more in television and B-grade cinema.

The ‘couch’ process starts much before an aspirant comes face-to-face with a director or a producer. Touts, who claim direct access to the big boys of Bollywood, accost newcomers outside production houses and then it may be several rounds before the starlet finally gets to meet the person/s who will be deciding on casting her.
