Saif doesn't like taking the ramp, says Kareena Kapoor Khan

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is a regular feature as the show-stopper at fashion shows, has said that her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan, stays away from ramp walk as he does not like it much.

"He is now in Chandigarh. He is working. We (Saif and I) walked for Manish once. He doesn't like taking the ramp too much. He is quite excited when I walk the ramp year after year," Kareena told PTI.

Kareena walked the ramp on March 16 as a show stopper for the grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week. This time she walked for designer Rajesh Pratap Singh.




"It is great that Lakme has chosen me as their brand ambassador. For the last five years, I've walked the ramp for them for the grand finale. It is synergy that is synonymous with Kareena now. I wait year after year for them to come with fantastic designers, this time they had Rajesh Pratap Singh," she said.

"It is great to walk the ramp as I am an actor and not a model. But it is one night in the year when I feel I am in Paris," she added.

Kareena said she does not feel nervous any longer while walking the ramp. "Whatever I do, I do with the utmost passion," she added.

Talking about what she was wearing, Kareena says, "It is very futuristic and dramatic. But it is very comfortable to wear, I can walk the ramp freely."

She said her style lies in the fact that she is confident and never follows leading trends but lives life on her terms. "I am most comfortable in track pants and T-shirts. My wardrobe is casual and that is the way I am. But it is fun to dress up once in a while," she added.

LFW, which began on March 12, ended on March 16.

Friendly ghost Amitabh Bachchan returns to fight evil politicians

Amitabh Bachchan comes back as the friendly ghost in Bhoothnath Returns , and the film's trailer was launched on Tuesday at a suburban theatre in Mumbai. 

Cashing in on the election fever riding the nation, Big B's new adventure sees him taking on an evil politician which even led to speculations over whether the superstar would join politics once again but Big B was quick to dispel all such notions. 

" I am not into politics," he said. 

The 71- year- old actor lightened the mood at the trailer launch by doing card tricks, conducting a guessing game and recalling his childhood. 

" We hear a lot of ( ghost) stories as kids. I used to be scared to switch- off the lights at night. When a Superman film came out, we thought we could fly if we wore a bed sheet around our necks. And I was about to jump out of the window when someone caught me," Big B recalled. 



The suburban venue of the launch was given a creepy look in sync with the film's theme. The actors turned up at the venue, which was given dressed in character. Big B wore his trademark Bhoothnath attire- grey pants, maroon tee and a chequered jacket. 
Child artist Parth Bhalerao, who plays the role of Akhrot, was dressed in simple shorts and shirt teamed with floaters. 

" Parth is the hero in the film and I am a zero. 

He is a wonderful artist," Big B shared about his young co- star. 

Bhoothnath Returns , costarring Boman Irani and National Award winning Marathi actress Usha Jadhav, is directed by Nitesh Tiwani who earlier codirected Chillar Party . The film opens on April 11.

India Today Conclave 2014: Bollywood's big and beautiful

Bollywood is a heady concoction of flavours - from soft to intense and flash- in- thepan successes to lingering and long lasting artistry. It is a spectrum of talent and there are always flavours of the season. 

For the dimpled beauty Deepika Padukone, 2013 was the lucky year. She scored a hattrick of 100 crores, with Race 2 , Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani and Chennai Express and more recently, touched the pinnacle of her acting career so far with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon ki Rasleela Ram- Leela . The rocking chemistry between Deepika and co- star Ranveer Singh in the movie left audiences spellbound and critics asking for more. 



Matching Deepika's dimpled charm, Ranveer Singh is like the boy next door who gushed with joy the first time he got to film abroad for Gunday - his fifth film. But with his chiselled physique and diligence, he has gradually got himself a foot- space in the Khan- dominated Bollywood bandwagon. With performances like those of a small town entrepreneur in Band Baja Baaraat , a loveless lover boy in Ladies vs Rickey Bahl , a thug in Lootera , the restless and reluctant cult leader in Goliyon ki Rasleela Ram- Leela and the refugee boy in Gunday , Bollywood is gradually coming to accept him as a versatile actor in his own right. 
Finally a Bollywood flick goes much beyond the lure of its leading ladies and heroes. It is a hotbed of talent that flourishes in all shapes and sizes. Meet Kalki Koechlin, the Indian film actress of French descent who debuted in Anurag Kashyap's critically acclaimed Hindi film Dev. D . She has held plots together through her supporting performances in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani , Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara , among others. 

Recently, she made waves with the satirical video, titled It's Your Fault that took on the people with the mindset that women are responsible for the rise in sexual assault cases against them.

Bollywood explores romance genre with fresh twists

Love stories never go out of fashion in Bollywood. What really changes with time is the way romance is handled by filmmakers. Paradigm shift in the mindset of the audience and changing equations of relationships in society make filmmakers come up with out-of-the-box themes. 

Last week's Hasee Toh Phasee has started what promises to be a damburst of romantic comedies all set for release this year. More than a dozen films by new- age directors (a few of them first-timers) are trying to give a fresh twist to simple mush, a Bollywood staple for years. 

Ad- man- turned- filmmaker Vinil Mathew and scriptwriter Harshvardhan Kulkarni together handled a basic love story with finesse in Hasee Toh Phasee . A slight drift in the storyline presented unusual drama with Parineeti Chopra and Siddharth Malhotra in the lead, which was enjoyed by the urban multiplex audience. 

" The rom- com may sound like one of the easiest genres to pitch in the market but it is one of the toughest to convert into a film since innumerable love stories have already been made. Every possible angle has been exploited and there are few conflicts left to explore, to surprise the audience," said Mathew. 

Debutant filmmaker Devika Bhagat tried to toy with an unusual romantic angle in the Abhay Deol- Preeti Desai starrer One By Two recently. Although the film tanked, the romance between the lead cast was handled differently, as the two lovers do not meet till the end although their stories keep overlapping owing to circumstances. 

Author Chetan Bhagat agreed to part with rights for a screen version of his bestselling novel 2 States: The Story Of My Marriage only when he was ensured that it " will not be handled in a typical Bollywood style". " I am curious to watch the film because the story is based on my personal life and relationship," Bhagat told Mail Today in an interview. Although debutant director Abhishek Verman doesn't plan to tamper with the content, he plans to imaginatively adapt it on screen. The film features Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. 

Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan star in Shaadi Ke Side Effects directed by Saket Chaudhary. The director, returning six years after Pyaar Ke Side Effects , aims at taking the rom- com to a different level because his new film deals with fresh romance in a marriage. 

The writer- filmmaker gives the male point- of- view on marriage. "Most love stories we see on screen have cool packaging but the audience also looks for that extra something that stays with them for a while. Crisp scripting to create quirky characters, good content and genuine emotions are most important for a rom- com," added Mathew. 

Imtiaz Ali, who dealt with the typical Bollywood romantic genre in a fresh manner with his 2007 hit Jab We Met , stresses on a tight script to create lovable moments. 

Apart from Jab We Met , he has given love varied twists in Socha Na Tha , Love Aaj Kal and Rockstar , and will explore the genre again in Highway , starring Randeep Hooda and Alia Bhat. 

Although Jab We Met apart, none of his films is a romcom, Ali says the approach to creating characters in love stories is mostly the same. 

" The characters and the emotions must be brought alive in the story first. Only then can they be translated on screen," said Ali in an interview. 

Keeping in mind the large percentage of young audience awaiting tangy twists in love plots and fresh content, many big production houses have floated separate units to churn out cooler content. Yash Raj Films floated Y films to produce Luv Ka The End , Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge and Mere Dad Ki Maruti while UTV's UTV Spotboy Production aims at making films targeted for the youth. 

Viacom 18' s Tipping Point Productions, which earlier produced Shaitan , plans to shift to the romance space. 

Hasee Toh Phasee 
Vinil Mathew's film starring Parineeti Chopra & Sidharth Malhotra 



The film is a coming- of- age love story that revealed crackling chemistry between its lead pair. Parineeti credibly played a mad scientist given to extreme drug- induced antics while Sidharth was perfect as the soft- natured Delhi boy who can't help falling in love with the sister of the girl he has been courting for seven years. While the story ultimately gets a predictable ending, Harshvardhan Kulkarni's script is unique in the way it creates quirky situations and characters. 

2 States 
Abhishek Verman's film starring Arjun Kapoor & Alia Bhatt 2 

Based on Chetan Bhagat's bestseller 2 States: The Story Of My Marriage , the film is among the awaited rom- coms this year. Bhagat scripted his personal experiences of an inter- caste wedding set against a campus background and the film is likely to retain the flavour. Arjun plays Delhi boy Krish Malhotra while Alia gives a spin to her glam image by trying out the geeky Tamil girl Ananya. Debutant director Abhishek Verman doesn't plan to tamper with Bhagat's basic story. 
Shaadi Ke Side Effects 
Saket Chaudhary's film starring Farhan Akhtar & Vidya Balan 

The sequel of the 2006 crossover hit Pyaar Ke Side Effects has Vidya and Farhan playing a couple struggling to rediscover romance after few years of wedding. The script tries to elevate the rom- com genre by highlighting romance in a marriage. 



Farhan as the husband tries addressing marriage jitters typical among urban men while Vidya as the wife presents the coming- of- age mindset of married woman. The film will be a contemporary take on modern- day Indian marriages of working couples. 
Main Tera Hero 

David Dhawan's film starring Varun Dhawan, Nargis Fakhri & Ileana D'Cruz 



The quirky love triangle will have all essential elements and comic moments associated with a David Dhawan film. The film is a Hindi remake of the 2011 Telugu rom- com Kandireega and Dhawan plans to give it an Archie comic feel in order to make the film more relatable to the young audience. The film brings together the father- son combination of David and Varun for the first time. The mad comedy is set in Bangkok and Mumbai, and will have plenty of situational comedy. 

Bewakoofiyaan 
Nupur Asthana's film starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sonam Kapoor & Rishi Kapoor 



The film is based on romance in the times of recession. Scripted by Habib Faisal, the film gives a contemporary twist to the age- old plot of a poor boy falling for a rich girl and the subsequent hurdles he has to face from her parents. The slice- of- life drama brings back Ayushmann in his trademark happy- go- lucky Delhi- boy avatar, just as he was seen in Vicky Donor . He plays a lover hit by downsizing at the workplace. 
Rishi Kapoor plays Sonam's overprotective, moneyminded father. 

Total Siyapaa 
E. Niwas's film starring Yami Gautam & Ali Zafar 



The film is a cross- border romance set in London. While innumerable films have been made on Indo- Pak themes, this film uses the premise to set up a funny tale of love. Made on a shoestring budget of ` 8 crore, the film tries to capture the instant reactions of middle- class Indian parents of a girl trying to come to terms with a boy from Pakistan. 
Pakistani singer- actor Ali Zafar plays the hapless boy visiting his girlfriend's parents in India and the film is about the chaotic situation it leads to.

It's very easy to slot me, says Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra doesn't feel that she is being typecast as the out-of-the-box bindaas rabble-rouser and contends instead that she has portrayed different characters in her films. 

She said: "To say that I am only playing bindaas characters is I think a very limited way of looking at the characters I've played. I mean, just because my character in 'Ladies Vs Ricky Behl', 'Ishaqzaade', 'Shuddh Desi Romance', and 'Hasee Toh Phasee' were unconventional, does it mean they are all the same?" 



"Of course, no matter who the actor is, his or her personality is bound to seep into the character. But to me my characters in 'Ishaaqzaade', 'Shuddh Desi Romance' and 'Hasee Toh Phasee' are entirely different. No similarity at all. 
"In the first, I was shooting guns all over the place. In the second, I was a small-town girl smoking, drinking and living in with her boyfriend. And now in 'Hasee Toh Phasee', I am almost a child in a grownup girl's body. It's very easy and simplistic to slot me," she added. 

Her new release "Hasee Toh Phasee" has not exactly set the box-office on fire. But Parineeti's performance has been unanimously hailed as a tour de force. 

And she is over the moon with the praise. 

"I was playing a borderline whacked-out character. When people had seen the promos, they thought I was doing one more vibrant bindaas character. But this one is completely different," she said. 

Parineeti is excited about working with director Habib Faisal a second time in "Daawat-e-Ishq". 

"Habib will always be special. He gave me 'Ishaqzaade'. When I did 'Ishaqzaade' with Habib sir, I was new and raw. This time while doing Daawat-e-Ishq with him I understand his craft much better. I think I am much better able to understand what he wants from me as an actor. I don't have to struggle to understand him. So the work atmosphere is far smoother and we get the scenes done far quicker." 

Parineeti enjoyed working with Aditya Roy Kapoor and Anupam Kher in "Daawat-e-Ishq". 

"We've become really close. Anupam Sir is like Aditya's and my age. We quickly finish our shots and rush to his van. I am already depressed because the shooting is nearly over. I want to do more films with Anupam sir," she said.

Priyanka Chopra does not have Rs.100 crore jitters!

Her new film Gunday may have been touted as the story of its two male leads, Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, but the forever vocal Priyanka Chopra has typically been at the forefront of all promotional activity over the past weeks. 

Priyanka had mixed luck last year, what with the Hrithik Roshan- starrer Krrish 3 turning out to be one of the biggest hits of 2013, but Zanjeer , along with her items numbers in Shootout At Wadala and Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-leela , receiving a lacklustre response at best. 

She is naturally hoping for the best with Gunday , which sees her playing Nandita, a Bengali girl who is a cabaret dancer by night and a sari- clad girl-next-door by day. 

"Nandita, to me, is a modern girl of the '70s who believes in right and wrong. She may be a cabaret dancer, but has a lot of self respect. Nandita is fearless and not afraid of taking on anyone," she says, adding that she put to work all her Miss World training to acquire the right poise for the role. 

Sonam Kapoor to pair up with Salman for Sooraj Barjatya's film

Actress Sonam Kapoor is likely to reunite with superstar Salman Khan for Sooraj Barjatya's upcoming film after her debut 'Saawariya'. 

"We are working on the dates... 99 per cent we will decide about the leading lady in a day or two. Most likely, it is Sonam who is going to act in the film," said a source from Rajshree productions. 

Bollywood divas dazzle on red carpet

Its raining award functions in Bollywood, and the Zee Cine Awards 2014 that took place on Saturday evening was another glittering affair. 

The event was well attended by the who's who of the industry, with stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha, Genelia D'Souza, Subhash Ghai, Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra, Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar. 

Disappointed at Lootera not being nominated, says Ranveer Singh

Actor Ranveer Singh is disappointed about his critically-acclaimed film 'Lootera', also starring Sonakshi Sinha, missing from nominations at most of the award functions. 

Vikramaditya Motwane's period drama 'Lootera', based on author O Henry's 1907 short story The Last Leaf, had received a mixed response after its release. 

Ranveer, who was appreciated for his performance in the film, is unhappy and disappointed that it failed to get nominated for this year's movie awards. 

"I don't think 'Lootera' is a failure. The producers earned money and it is a great film. If 'Lootera' was the best reviewed film of the year, then where is the recognition. It is a technically superior film of all the films released last year. I think Vikramaditya Motwane deserved nomination for direction," Ranveer said. 



The actor feels the film should have at least been nominated in categories like - best director, best film, cinematography and best production design.
"Such a technically superior film missing from nominations is very surprising. So, yes it is disappointing. I am disappointed for the team," he said. 

However, he is happy that his co-star Sonakshi was nominated in the Best Actress category for the Screen awards. 

"Sonakshi deserves to get a nomination. For me, 'Lootera' was higher in terms of performance than 'Ram Leela'. I can't talk about whether I deserve a nomination or not. 'Ram Leela' was easy in comparison to 'Lootera' as the latter was challenging," Ranveer said. 

But, the actor is happy at being nominated for his performance in 'Ram Leela'. 

He says the box office success of a film is not the only parameter to call it a superhit or blockbuster. 'Lootera' earned Rs.35 crore and according to Ranveer, it is not bad. 

"It is not about box office and the numbers, but about the memory of the film. Films like 'Andaz Apna Apna', 'Jab We Met' and 'Band Baaja Baraat' may not have achieved big numbers but they are watched again and again on TV or DVD," he said. 

"The memory of the film is important and 'Lootera' is one such film, you can watch it after 15 years and still cry. It was made in cinematic language which people are not used to. It is definitely a successful film," he added.

Bollywood does its bit

Bollywood's blue- eyed designer Manish Malhotra hosted yet another star- studded fashion show for Lilavati Hospital's ' Save and Empower the Girl Child' event in Mumbai on Wednesday evening. 

The initiative, that was first launched in 2012 by the hosipital, is aimed at protecting the girl child from deliberate harm and thus, ensuring her well- being from conception to adulthood. 

The couturier rounded an impressive line- up of Bollywood beauties that included Madhuri Dixit- Nene, Malaika Arora Khan, Lara Dutta, Preity Zinta, Evelyn Sharma, Isha Koppikar, Mandira Bedi, Ileana D'Cruz and other models who walked the ramp in elaborate ethnic designs. 



Madhuri took the lead in a Christmas- coded red and green embroidered lehenga ensemble. She said, " Let every girl child bloom, flourish and spread her fragrance in this world. 
Let us join hands to abolish female foeticide and make this world a better place." While Preity rocked in a green silk lehenga with an embroidered net dupatta , younger divas Evelyn and Isha also looked pretty and fresh in soft pink designer ensembles. 

Initiative was first launched in 2012.

Only my work understands me, says Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, who is back to work after his recent injury, says that even though he is not completely fine, he is comfortable. 

The actor, who was hurt while shooting for Farah Khan's "Happy new Year", resumed work Tuesday. 

Bollywood biggies booked with multiple projects till 2016

The next couple of years are full of mega releases for Bollywood buffs, with the biggest male stars going all out to line-up prospective record busters. Going by the chock-a-block date diaries of the big boys of Bollywood, a series of big films will continue to hit the screens. All the big heroes are booked till 2016 with two to three projects lined up. 

Shah Rukh Khan associates illness with truth of life

A recent injury on the sets of "Happy New Year" has left Shah Rukh Khan "strapped around the joints". The superstar has compared his condition to his philosophy of life. 

"Been strapped around the joints last few days. Realised the truth of life through bandages. Not too tight not too loose...keeps it comfortable," Shah Rukh posted on the microblogging site Twitter Wednesday.

Alia Bhatt Highway kolkata Randeep Hooda

A super- excited Alia Bhatt along with Randeep Hooda are exploring the streets of Kolkata. The duo has been in the Capital city of Bengal to promote their upcoming film Highway since Sunday, and is making the most of whatever free time they get amid their hectic schedule. 

Will Salman Khan's Jai Ho crack Rs.300 crore code?

The stage is set for Salman Khan's "Jai Ho", his first release of the year. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh is confident that it will cross the Rs.300-crore-mark while Amod Mehra says though a bumper opening is assured, reaching Rs.200 crore could be "a Herculean task". 

Directed by Salman's brother Sohail, the film that focuses on corruption will hit more than 5,000 screens Friday. 

Producer Vashu Bhagnani, who still remembers "the stupendous opening" that his film with Salman "Biwi No.1" got, is confident that "'Jai Ho' would definitely open very well". 

"Salman has the full public support. His ardent fan-base would definitely go see the film. It should cross the 300-crore mark specially seeing the number of screens it's being released on," he added. 



In the last couple of years, Salman has hardly failed to impress the audiences and as a result most of his films such as "Dabangg", "Ek Tha Tiger" and "Dabangg 2" became blockbusters. 

"I saw the film at a trial. Both the pre and post interval halves have that jolt that makes you sit up and watch when you are least expecting any kind of upheaval. That is the USP. Salman's presence is 'ekdum dhamaakedar'," said another trade expert who doesn't want to be named. 

"My verdict. It'd be bigger than 'Ek Tha Tiger', but not as big as 'Dabangg'. Eros would find it hard to recover the money they paid Sohail for the film," he added. 

Taran Adarsh: "'Jai Ho' should open very, very well, thanks to Salman's star power and also his absence from the screen for an entire year. The craze for the film is building up with each passing day. As far as making Rs.300 crore goes, that would depend entirely on the strength of the content." 

Amod Mehra: "As Salman is enjoying such a huge fan-following, a bumper opening is assured. However, the promos and music are dull. Reaching Rs.200 crore may prove to be a Herculean task."

Kareena Kapoor says Bombay Samurai is a very whacky film

Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor, who is excited about working with Farhan Akhtar in the film "Bombay Samurai," says it will be a very whacky one and she will be seen in a role unexpected from her. 

"The director is from New York who has made slightly international cinema - Dev Benegal. So, it's a very interesting concept," the 33-year-old said here during the making of a green tea ad film. 

"It's not a thriller, it's a very whacky film, something which my fans would not expect me to do," she added.



Benegal is known for films like "Road, Movie", "Split Wide Open" and "English August". 

Kareena added that "Bombay Samurai" will be the first of its kind film which will have both an international and a commercial release. 

"I am doing a very interesting film which is going to star Farhan Akhtar and me. I have never worked with Farhan, he directed me in 'Don' when I did the song. It's also going to be an international film which is going to be the first of its kind, which will get an international release apart from releasing in mainstream cinema here," she said.

Alia Bhatt makes singing debut with Highway

With Oscar winner A. R. Rahman at the helm, Imtiaz Ali's upcoming film Highway is sure to offer audience a soulful ride. The music of the film was released recently at a Mumbai hotel by Rahman, Ali and the film's young leading lady Alia Bhatt, who also makes her singing debut with the kidnap drama. 

The film's other protagonist, Randeep Hooda, didn't attend the event. 

Rahman revealed it was Imtiaz's suggestion to make Alia sing. 

" When Alia learned the song and sang to me, I was pretty impressed with her natural ability. We guided her to perfect her skills," Rahman said. 

He also talked about how he wanted to sing the song in question, a ballad called Sooha Saha , solely because it is in Punjabi. 



" I wanted to sing this song because I have never done a Punjabi song. I am a fan of the language, but when I learnt the context of the sequence where it was to be played, I realised that the song needed a female voice," Rahman said. 

He added, however, that he got his wish anyway, by singing yet another Punjabi number from the film's soundtrack. 

" I sang in Punjabi and to my surprise I picked up the language fast as I love it. My association with Subhash Ghai and Yash Chopra ji made it easy for me to learn Punjabi. It was easier than Hindi," he said. 

Alia revealed that she went through a series of emotions, from nervousness to excitement, before her big playback debut. 

" I was in Rahman sir's studio and was messing up. I hadn't rehearsed much, so we had to record it twice. He was very patient with me, for which I am really grateful to him. It really stopped me from going home and screaming in my pillow," she said. 

Singing, she added, is more difficult than acting. " Acting is always easier than singing. I always knew that I would act, but never knew that I would be able to sing," the 20- year- old said. 

Imtiaz is shooting a special video for Highway with Rahman and Alia Bhatt, which will be included in the film. 

Talking about the video, Rahman said he found the experience " very exciting" as Imtiaz made " me do some crazy things".
