Abhishek Bachchan’s action thriller Players is ready to release and the actor says he was looking forward to do the action film. He said, “I enjoy doing action films. Actually, in the last two-three years I have done more experimental films and I was really looking forward to get back to my original love.”
Further explaining his love for action films and how he get to do Players, the actor added, “When Abbas narrated the film, I was all excited to start it. I knew he is the man who can handle the remake properly. Being from a British boarding school, Michael Caine used to be my hero. I have watched his The Italian Job many times. There was a time when I used to know all the dialogues by heart.”
This film has been made twice earlier and now its third time it has been made in Hindi and Abhishek is confident about the success of the film because he has portrayed his character well. The 35 year old actor said, “Mark Wahlberg did a superb job as he portrayed a completely different character of what Caine had done. He gave his own spin to the character.
Similarly, when I approached the film, I also tried to do something different. I took it as a challenge to portray the character in my own way but by maintaining the essence of the originality in it. Usually in our films we see thieves steal either for greed or money. But there is an emotional reason attached to it.”
Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have always denied being involved. But they can’t do so anymore. The duo indulged in some serious PDA on an international flight LH 576 from Frankfurt to Mumbai on Sunday night.
According to the eyewitness report, “The first class had many European businessmen, and not too many passengers recognised them. Katrina was wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans and had no make up on.
Initially she kept looking around to see if there would be any familiar Indian faces, but when she saw that wasn’t the case, she got comfortable in her seat and started talking to Ranbir.
After the flight took off, they cosied up and RK was seen planting kisses on her cheek and she didn’t seem to mind at all.”
Apart from enjoying the first class services, they also used the time to get some work done. “There were a couple of scripts piled up on their table.
They both engrossed themselves in them. At one point they were even reading out their parts out loud, as though they were rehearsing. Ranbir later called for some blankets, but neither of them were seen taking a nap.”
Kangna Ranaut and Dino Morea were caught cosying up at a party recently. Romance in the air?
Huge campaign that has been designed around the strong essence of love that My Name Is Khan carries. As a part of this, Shah Rukh would be travelling across the country and pop this question to the aam janta. This would be his way of connecting with people who are waiting to catch him in My Name Is Khan,” Karan, who has produced and directed the film, told IANS.
“…The idea of asking people ‘How far would you go for love?’ should be quite enticing for many out there. It should be a good participative exercise,” the filmmaker added.
My Name Is Khan, which is being marketed and distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures, is about Rizwan Khan (Shah Rukh), an autist, who is mistaken for a terrorist while travelling in the US. Karan, Shah Rukh and Kajol have teamed up so far for candy-floss movies…so how come they decided to opt for different kind of cinema?
“I just felt that cinema is maturing with every passing year and I should move on with the times as well,” Karan said with a smile.
“If I am constantly going to try and woo the audience with a certain kind of cinema without doing something that is entirely different, what’s the point in sitting pretty in the position where I currently am? Why not use it for my own advantage and make something really fresh…I truly believe that if you are motivated just for the sake of it, you would get caught eventually. You can succeed only if you have a very strong conviction backing up your thought.”
Kareena Kapoor’s lovemaking scene in Kurbaan with beau Saif Ali Khan has been the talking point for months. Kareena even admitted that she may have done the lovemaking scene with another actor, but it wouldn’t be as explicit. “At the end of day, Saif and I are professional actors and would do whatever a script demands,” she said.
She also said that it was integral to the script and was happy that director Rensil D’Silva had done it so aesthetically. However, news has it that after watching the cast and crew trial of Kurbaan at Yash Raj Studios, Kareena, who was very nervous about the bare-back scene, put in a request to friend and filmmaker Karan Johar asking him to delete the lovemaking scene in just the one show which would be attended by her mother Babita and her friends.
A nervous Bebo wasn’t sure how her mother would react to seeing her do something so bold on screen. “I asked Karan if he could hide that one reel only from mom’s trial,” said the actress. However, Karan is said to have pacified his lead actor and told her she has no reason to be afraid. Karan is also said to have told her in jest, “Shut up Bebo, and go take a walk. I’m doing no such thing.”
