Kambakkht Ishq team not going to Cannes

Last week we reported that Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor, the lead pair of "Kambakkht Ishq", were to walk the red carpet with Sylvester Stallone at the Cannes Film Festival starting on May 13.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ75U0vNRxQMZXM7crLSphgXHiEuyObbPCBsojyW_p7FwgyWoPrnBHwM1U2ZD7AQzrqyl25hx9-obuDgNFaoD_iIqp7eoRaB6VGV2EAQcTmp6kbT9EatVKKstXDVBkb-LmPONhOw1cZ2m7/s320/kambakkhtishqmay11_full.jpg

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has now announced that his “Kambakkht Ishq” lead actors will no longer attend the Cannes Film Festival. This is a side effect of the ongoing crisis caused by the producers and distributors vs multiplexes conflict.

"Because of the strike and embargo thereof on new releases in multiplexes, we are not allowed to screen any trailers anywhere or release audio cassettes of new releases. For Cannes, we needed to be there for the worldwide coverage of our trailers which would also be aired on Indian TV channels. But now, we can't release trailers of upcoming releases, so there's no point in going to Cannes," said Sajid.

“This would have been my first trip to Cannes. Akshay, Kareena and I were really looking forward to our trip and to walking the red carpet. But these are minor disappointments compared to the larger picture where everyone in the film industry benefits. Ultimately we all belong to the same family and no personal interest is above the interests of all," added Sajid.

The “Kambakkht Ishq” team was also due to perform at the IPL finals on May 24 in Johannesberg, South Africa, but that too has been cancelled because of the strike.

Meanwhile, one person who will surely be in Cannes during the film festival is Arjun Rampal.

The beverage company, for which he shot an ad for with Nicole Kidman recently, is taking him to Cannes for a day on May 15. He’ll be flown there on a helicopter from Paris and will be put up at a luxury villa.

Also scheduled to attend the Cannes Film Festival are Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan, and Mexican actress Barbara Mori. They will be promoting their upcoming film “Kites”. It remains to be seen whether their plans too will get affected because of the strike.

Hollywood stars in upcoming Bollywood film

Bollywood stars used to seek entry into Hollywood, but now the tables seem to turning with upcoming Bollywood production “Kambakkht Ishq” (Unfortunate Love) releasing on May 28.

http://www.thaindian.com/images/sampurn/17238_th.jpg

Nine Hollywood actors/actresses, including Oscar nominated Sylvester Stallone (Rocky), Denise Richards (Finding Bliss), Brandon Routh (Zack and Miri Make a Porno), Diane Sellers (Cordially Invited) are reportedly acting in this Bollywood international romantic comedy with Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor in the lead.

Directed by Sabir Khan (Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya?) with a budget reportedly of over 12 million dollars in which Kumar plays a Hollywood stuntman, its title track is composed by United Kingdom bhangra group RDB. It has been reportedly shot in-around Los Angeles in USA (Universal Studios, Kodak Theatre, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles International Airport, Malibu, Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Pacific Coast Highway, Santa Monica Pier, etc.), Venice in Italy, Mumbai India, etc.

Acclaimed Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed has welcomed Hollywood-Bollywood working together to provide universal entertainment. He hoped more Hollywood-Bollywood joint ventures in the future, thus bringing East-West closer.

Various India focused international film projects reportedly in the pipeline include British projects ambitious “Indian Summer” of Working Title, producer Leslee Udwin’s “West is West”, producer Graham Broadbent’s “These Foolish Things”, a detective series and a film about a crazed elephant by David Thompson of Origin Pictures, Gurinder Chadha’s two new projects, etc.; and Australian ventures “The Waiting City” by Claire McCarthy, “Bollywood Down Under”, “Family Unit”, documentary “Bollywood Bazaar”, producer Bill Bennett’s thriller, John Winter’s two India-centric films, projects by Anupam Sharma and Jim McElroy and David Wood, etc. Hollywood recently co-produced Bollywood films like “Chandni Chowk To China” and “Saawariya”. Los Angeles based PCB Productions reportedly is looking at mobile gaming to supplement major Bollywood releases for Western audience.

Reasons cited for this sudden passion for India are: Slumdog effect, globalization, Bollywood’s growing technical sophistication and resources, cost-effectiveness, exoticism, irresistible locations, exploding global market for India-centric films, etc.

Welcoming world filmmakers rushing to India, Rajan Zed, who is chairperson of Indo-American Leadership Confederation, urged them to take Hinduism and other religions of India seriously and respectfully and not reimagining their concepts and symbols just for mercantile greed. -Sampurn Media

Ranbir signed a flim with Priyanka

Uh-oh Bebo, your cousin Ranbir Kapoor has gone and signed a film with your arch rival Priyanka Chopra. This is as big if not bigger a betrayal than ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor hooking up with PC.

http://movies.ndtv.com/images/showbiz/ranbir-priyanka.jpg

Priyanka and Ranbir are doing Siddharth Anand's next rom-com, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

Fresh pair

Says a source, "It's a love story set in the USA and both Siddharth and Sajid were very keen to cast this fresh pair together." Before this, Sajid was planning to make a love story between a fat girl and a good-looking cool guy but now that script has been kept on hold as no actress wanted to put on weight for the role.

Now Siddharth is working on a new script for Ranbir and Priyanka. He refuses to say much, "It's too early to talk about it but yes, Ranbir and Priyanka have been signed on. Since the film is based abroad we are figuring out the logistics of weather, dates etc. It's a romantic comedy with a twist."

Not Kat

About the rumours that Katrina Kaif was doing the film opposite Ranbir, Siddharth says, "That was mere speculation which started as Katrina and I used to meet to discuss Bachna Ae Haseeno. Katrina was doing the film at that time but we later removed her chapter from the film as it was becoming too long."

First look at Love Aaj Kal Movie

Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan’s production house Illuminati Films is set to release its maiden venture “Love Aaj Kal” (pictured above), in association with Eros International.

“Love Aaj Kal” is director Imtiaz Ali’s much awaited release after his hugely successful “Jab We Met”. It has been shot in London, San Francisco and New Delhi.

The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukoue, Rishi Kapoor and Rahul Khanna.
The film also features British model and actress Florence Brudenell-Bruce who makes her debut opposite Saif. Neetu Singh too has a small role.

Saif and Deepika are paired together for the very first time.

Says a source, “Saif and Deepika are looking fabulous together… the chemistry they share is unbelievable.”

Though producers have tired their best to keep the film under wraps, the movie has already generated a strong buzz.

“Love Aaj Kal” has a fresh take on relationships that will appeal to everyone. It is a love story spanning two generations; Rishi and Neetu play the older couple with Saif and Deepika represent the new generation.

Deepika says her character in the film comes eerily close to her real self.

“It's scary the kind of stuff Imtiaz has envisaged for my character in the film it's so close and similar to me. It's almost as if he had written the film with me in mind."

After Yuvvraaj fiasco, Subhash Ghai turns to comedy


New Delhi, May 5 (IANS) After his last directorial venture “Yuvvraaj” failed at the box office, Subhash Ghai is now set for his first production of the year “Paying Guest”, which he says is based on a humorous play that ran for two years in the US, Britain and the UAE.

http://bollywood.celebden.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/subhash-ghai.jpg

“‘Paying Guest’ is an out-and-out comedy based on a play of the same name and directed by Paritosh Painter. It ran for two years in the US, UK and UAE. Now the movie too is being directed by the director of the play,” Ghai told IANS in an e-mail interview.

“Paritosh has done an equally good job as the director of the film. It will sure be a blockbuster, something I can predict at this moment,” the filmmaker said.

The multi-starrer revolves around five close friends who stay together in Dubai and is set to hit screens next month.

“In a comedy film like this, you really need genuinely talented actors rather than only a star who has a sale value. So we decided on Shreyas (Talpade), Javed Jaffery, Ashish Chowdhary, Celina (Jaitley), Neha Dhupia and so on,” he said.

So does he feel comedy is the flavour of the season?

“I completely feel that comedy is the flavour of the season. Today stress levels are so high that people like comedy, even mindless comedies if it’s entertaining,” said Ghai.

“Nowadays, people don’t have time to appreciate your poetry or cinema unless you compel them to go and watch it, but that’s a tough proposition for a filmmaker today,” he added.

Ghai, whose production house Mukta Arts Pvt Ltd has produced successful films like “Aitraaz” and “Iqbal” among others, says his banner believes in churning out films of all budgets and genres.

“My company is a major movie production company in Mumbai for which I direct one film and we produce three to four films a year with various directors and all kinds of budgets and genres.

“For example, we produced ‘Aitraaz’, ‘36 China Town’ and ‘Yuvvraaj’ with big budgets and ‘Iqbal, ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ and ‘Black and White’ as small budget movies,” said Ghai.

The director-producer has himself directed hugely popular films like “Karz”, “Hero”, “Karma”, “Saudagar”, “Pardes” and “Taal”.

Ghai has planned five more productions this year including “Right Yaa Wrong”, “Hello Darling” and three new projects to be launched soon.

Asked about the ongoing tussle between the producers and multiplexes over sharing of revenue, Ghai said the root of the problem is that both the sides are not considering the other’s grievances.

“It’s a tussle of business interests. Both are right with their grievances but not ready to consider the other’s point of view. I think producers asking for 50 percent, 40 percent and 35 percent in first three weeks respectively is a fair demand whereas in the fourth week it should be re-negotiable as per the merit of the film.

Shooting of Total Ten film on Mumbai Terror Attacks Underway

On location shooting of forthcoming Bollywood film ‘Total Ten’ is underway in Mumbai.

The film would star Rajan Verma, who essays the role of Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist caught alive during the Mumbai terror attack in November 2008.

http://www.pro-pakistan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/total-ten-bollywood.jpg

Produced by Hari Om Sharam, Anand Pandrey and Kumar, Total Ten is budgeted at a meagre Rs. 3 crore and shows the journey of Kasab from Pakistan to the trial court in Mumbai.

The other actors performing the movie are Sudesh Berry, who plays Vijay Salaskar (former Senior Police officer and encounter specialist), Homi Wadia, who plays Hemant Karkare (former Chief of Mumbai anti-terrorist squad), Ashok Kulkarni, who plays Ashok Kamte (former Additional Commissioner of Mumbai police) and Ashish Vidyarthi, who plays Tukaram Ombale (former assistant sub-inspector of Mumbai Police).

All these brave men were killed while fighting the terrorists in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Describing the theme of his movie, Surendar Suri said that Total Ten was a tribute to these Mumbai police officers who paid the ultimate price while fighting for their countrymen.

“The title of the film ‘Total Ten’ if you read then you will come to know that there were only ten Mumbai police officers who got Ashok Chakra (bravery awards) and only those people get Ashok Chakra who have performed some heroic deeds. So this film is my tribute to their bravery,” said Suri.

Rajan Verma said he believes that the movie will give a message to those youngsters who have gone off track but not to trod the path of terrorism.

“This is not a mere film but it’s a message from those terrorists who are churned out of so called terror factories. We don’t have to finish one terrorist but we have to close those terror factories. And these terror factories will stop when the raw material (the youngsters) supplied to them is stopped. Through this film I have to give a message to those youngsters who have gone astray not to become terrorists,” said Verma.

Kasab was one of 10 gunmen who arrived in Mumbai last November via sea route from Pakistan to terrorise the city, killing 166 people. (ANI)

Kareena Kapoor wears dress worth 8 Lakh

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor will sport a dress worth Rs.800,000 for a song in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala had specially ordered it for the actress from Paris.

http://www.apunkachoice.com/upload/actors/actgal4114.jpg

‘When the song was completed and the whole crew had a look, it looked very beautiful and eye catching. But most importantly everyone’s eyes were stuck at seeing Kareena’s dress. Kareena was looking gorgeous. The dress cost Rs.800,000,’ said a source close to the producer.

The filmmaker has also gifted the dress to Kareena as she looked really pretty wearing it.

‘Sajid Nadiadwala is a wonderful person at heart. He always makes sure that his cast and crew is happy. Kareena was happy after receiving such an extra-ordinary gift from Sajid bhai. She was short of words to express her feeling after she received the gift.’ added the source.

Kareena plays a supermodel in the movie, which has Akshay Kumar in the male lead. It also stars Hollywood biggies Sylvester Stallone, Brandon Routh and Denise Richards.

First look of Movie Kambakkht Ishq

Scheduled to release this summer, the Akshay Kumar - Kareena Kapoor starrer, directed by Sabbir Khan is already creating a huge buzz and promises to be one of the biggest entertainer to hit screens this year.



An exciting ‘chemistry’ between a dashing stuntman in Hollywood who lives by the mantra ‘women are only good for...’ and a firebrand model who can more than stare down the most arrogant male with her caustic wit and sardonic tongue, Kambakkht Ishq creates a perfect premise for a thrilling battle of the sexes.

Eros is highly focused on Kambakkht Ishq - an exciting marriage between the east and the west, a romantic comedy and action with Hollywood favorites Sylvester Stallone, Brendan Routh and Denise Richards playing interesting roles in the film as well.
Eros International will be unveiling the first look of its highly awaited film ‘Kambakkht Ishq’, a co-production with Sajid Nadiadwala. The trailer will accompany Eros’ Aa Dekhen Zara which is releasing this Friday, March 27, 2009.

Lovemaking Scenes cut from Mani Ratnam's Raavan

Mani Ratnam is being extra careful in making his adaptation of the Ramayana starring Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

[rava1.jpg]

The film, which revolves around the kidnapping of Sita, has been adapted to suit modern times.

Aishwarya plays the role of a married woman, who is kidnapped by Abhishek.

Soon they get attracted to each other and the story progresses. Mani's Raavan is played by AB Jr.

Mani is being extra cautious about not incurring the wrath of religious groups and has done away with an intimate scene between Aishwarya and her kidnapper.

Abhishek's sister commits suicide after being humiliated by Vikram (who plays Ash's husband), so Abhi kidnaps Ash and takes her into the jungle.

Over time, they develop feelings for each other and there's a subtle love track between them.

There was also a love-making scene between Ash and Abhishek in the script but Mani decided to do away with it after realising the sensitivity of the subject.

An insider adds, "Mani has tried to keep away any parallels between Ramayana and his film.

Even though he may deny it, the fact remains that the film is a modern day adaptation of the epic, with the focus being on the Ravana-Sita chapter."

The film has Govinda in the role of Hanuman while Nikhil Dwivedi plays Laxman.

STATIONed in Kolkata

AbhiAsh were shooting for Mani Ratnam's Raavan in Kolkatta. Although Abhishek wrapped up his shoot on March 5, he stayed back for three days to spend time with his wife.

A source from the unit reveals, "The last three-day schedule was a night shoot at Chitpore railway station in Kolkata.
The shoots used to start at late night-early morning, as they only had permission to shoot after 9.40 pm after the last train left.

Abhishek was present on the sets all the three days." The crowd at the station was very difficult to handle. Extra security was called at the station as people had gathered to see the couple.
