Kangana Ranaut not disappointed with her films being shelved

Actress Kangana Ranaut has said that two of her films 'Ungli' and 'I Love NY' have been canned but she is not disappointed about it. 

'I Love New Year', a romantic-comedy directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, stars Sunny Deol and Kangana. The film was initially to be released in February last year, then it got pushed to April, to September and later December the same year, but did not hit the screens. 

The exact reason for the delay was not known, but it was reportedly shelved due to the poor response to its trailer and not so good outcome of Sunny's last few films at the box office. 



Her another project, Karan Johar's home production 'Ungli', starring Emraan Hashmi, Sanjay Dutt, Neha Dhupia, Randeep Hooda and others and directed by Rensil D'Silva, was earlier expected to release in 2013. 
Though earlier Karan Johar had tweeted that 'Ungli' will release on May 23 this year, Kangana says the film has been canned. 

When asked about both her impending films, Kangana says, "It is canned right? I think it's (the films) canned." 

When asked if she feels disappointed, she said, "Why would I be frustrated, I have got my pay cheque. I am safe and hence there is no reason for to be disappointed." 

Her other forthcoming projects are 'Queen', which will release on March 7, and Tigmanshu Dhulia's film 'Revolver Rani', scheduled to release this year.

I'd never work with any other actor, says Rakesh Roshan on son Hrithik

As Hrithik Roshan turns 40 Friday, his father and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan says that he would never work with any other actor, unless he is making a women-centric drama like "Khoon Bhari Maang". 

Rakesh had launched his son with the blockbuster "Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai". Later they worked together in the "Krrish" series. 

Getting emotional, he said: "He can work with outside directors. But I'd never work with any other actor, unless I am making an out-and-out heroine-oriented film like 'Khoon Bhari Maang'. I might be tempted to make a film with a female protagonist, but only if Hrithik is too busy to work with me." 



"When I was an actor, I could feel a filmmaker lurking within me. But I was never satisfied as an actor. I had a big hit like 'Kaamchor'. But that helped Jaya Prada's career, not mine. I knew god wanted me to be a director," he added. 

Rakesh predicts that Hrithik too will direct a film some day. 

"Now I feel Hrithik, who is such a successful actor, far more than I ever could be, has a filmmaker lurking within him. He will one hundred percent direct a film some day. Mark my words, he'll be a very fine director. I am sure of that. He may not be a good producer, but he'll be a terrific director," he said. 

The father-son duo's recent hit was "Krrish 3". 

Rakesh has enjoyed Hrithik's films outside the family banner. 

"I liked his performance immensely in 'Jodhaa-Akbar', 'Agneepath', 'Guzaarish' and specially 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' in which he had to play a normal regular guy. That's really difficult to do. He never let us feel a superstar was playing that role," he said. 

Recently, Hrithik announced that he and his wife Sussanne have parted ways after the latter decided to annul their marriage. 

"My wife and I want Hrithik to be happy and at peace with himself, no matter what," said Rakesh who looks forward to launching Hrithik's sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan - as heroes. 

"Provided they want to be in films. I'd love to launch them. My blessings are with Hrithik. Whatever he does in life, my wife and I want him to never change. He's kind, helpful generous. He deserves happiness," he said.
