Bollywood Gossip - Akshay Kumar jumps off Bangkok’s tallest building
Friday, June 27, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Could there ever be a better host for the Indian version of 'Fear Factor' than Akshay Kumar, the Bollywood synonym for daredevilry?
Akki flew to Bangkok, the city that taught him a few lessons in Oriental Cuisine, to show Thailand what he had learnt in Bollywood. He jumped off the tallest skyscraper of the city, and skated all the way down through thin air!
This Khiladi stunt was caught on camera and will be part of the promotional film on the Indian version of ‘Fear Factor’, to be aired on COLORS TV, premiering in July 2008. Shot on the lines of a Bollywood movie trailer, the promo flick gives a foretaste of what is to hit the small screen as ‘Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi’.

Says Akshay: “With something as crazy and exciting like ‘Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi’ you have got to start at Bangkok. I truly enjoyed being on skate board, straddled between two of the tallest buildings in Thailand - just to give a preview of the show to my viewers. It sounds easy on paper, just take a look for yourself and enjoy the ride with me. You don’t have to be a daredevil to enjoy this show - it’s packed with me of course, but also with love, friendships, deadly stunts and a lot of fun.”
Rameet Arora, Marketing Head, COLORS, says, “This film for ‘Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi’ represents drama that will be unmistakably different. Setting the tone for a ‘never seen before’ campaign, you can look forward to a unique synergy between Bollywood and television. And that too, with India’s favourite action hero & television entertainment. It’s an un-missable start.”

‘Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi’ takes the game show to the highest level of physical and mental challenge, making it more gritty and edgy than ever before. Another attraction of ‘FEAR FACTOR - Khatron ke Khiladi’ is going to be the 13 Bollywood beauties, who’ll compete with each other, to be the last-lass-standing: Yaana Gupta, Aditi Govtrikar, Pooja Bedi, Sonali Kulkarni, Anita Hasnandani, Meghna Naidu, Tapur Chatterjee, Tupur Chatterjee, Nethra Raghuraman, Anjana Sukhani, Dipannita Sharma, Vidya Malvade and Urvashi Sharma. The show will be shot entirely in South Africa, over a period of one month and is being produced by Endemol India, one of India’s finest production houses.

Hrithik to refrain from action scenes
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Indian superhero Hrithik Roshan, who has just recovered from a serious knee injury, says he will avoid doing stunts for some time.

"I need to be very careful for a while. No serious stunts and action scenes for a while. My body has served its warning rather effectively. I had no choice but to obey the warning signals. It would be some time before I get back into full-on action scenes," Hrithik, who turned 34 last week, told us.

"I pretend it's not a special day. But it never turns out that way," laughed Hrithik.

Apparently, Hrithik gets the maximum birthday greetings in Bollywood.

"I wouldn't know. But, yes, the quantity of love that I receive on this day is overwhelming," laughed Hrithik shyly.

He was up and about from early in the morning.

"I wanted to make sure I answered each one of the greetings personally before Hrehaan gets up."

Alas, Hrithik proposes, Hrehaan disposes. The scion of the Roshan family was up and about claiming Papa's attentions. And Hrithik was happy to give it all.

"The last year I've really had no time for the family. The injury has given me a chance to be at home and spend time with my wife and son."

And how was the birthday celebrated this year?

"Every year I like to do something associated with my work on my birthday. As luck would have it, on the evening before my birthday, it was the launch of my 'Jodhaa-Akbar' music. I loved that.

"It was one of the most well-organised music functions of my career. After that it was friend Ambika Hinduja's engagement party. So we went for that. Then we were home for the rest of the evening."

So where was the cake and the rest of the birthday trappings?

"Oh! All that happened. Suzanne always makes sure my birthdays are special."

Saif Ali Khan jumps from a 22 storied building
Friday, January 4, 2008
Saif Ali Khan has turned action king for his forthcoming Tips film RACE. It is a known fact that actors have been using body doubles for doing complicated and dangerous stunts but Saif refused to do so.

RACE is an action film directed by the duo Abbas-Mustan. According to Abbas-Mustan "RACE being an action film has many dangerous stunts in it and all the stunts had to be shot in such a way that it looked dangerous as well as real." In one of the scenes Saif had to jump down from a 22 storied building and Saif refused to use a body double for the scene. He wanted to do the scene himself.

Though Saif was tied to a harness it was very dangerous as it was not a child's play to jump down from a 22 storied building. Says producer Ramesh Taurani, "We are thankful to Saif for doing this stunt. He did this not just once but thrice just to okay the shot. Everybody on the sets would get frightened and our hearts would stop beating as soon as he jumped down."

All the necessary precautions were taken while shooting the scenes. A doctor and an ambulance were kept ready on the sets as a part of precautionary measures. Hats off to Saif for being such courageous person and doing such difficult stunts.

Bollywood explores bolder themes
Saturday, December 29, 2007
Remember Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai where the veteran actress Suhasini Mulay played a distressed mother who watches in dismay as her son, played by Akshaye Khanna, falls for an older woman?

In Naseeruddin Shah's Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota, Suhasini played a woman who becomes the object of adoration of a much younger man, played by Irrfan Khan.

There have been films like Dil Chahta Hai, Anmol and Being Cyrus - all featuring Dimple Kapadia - where a 40-plus woman has fallen for a much younger man.

Producer Sudhish Rambhotla of Hyderabad's ColorChips production house is currently planning a film with Sammir Dattani that is based on The Summer Of 42. Rambhotla wants Rekha, Shabana or Dimple to play the romantic lead opposite the young actor.

"Why not?" said Irrfan. "Hindi cinema is maturing and it's wonderful to be part of a film like Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota. I played opposite Suhasini. I'm a guy who looked for a mother figure in love. It was definitely a departure from the way

man-woman relationships are depicted in films these days."

Irrfan played a working class man in his 40s totally besotted by an older woman.

"My character adored the woman to the point of worship. She's very classy and I'm nothing but a diversion for her. She'd happily make love to another man if she found someone more interesting," said Irrfan.

"Suhasini and I shared a very important lovemaking scene, a part of which was edited in the final cut. But the scene combined food and sex. We went into this whole sensuous culinary mood...

"It was bizarre and fascinating. I had never done anything like this," confessed Irrfan who started his career making violent love to Dimple Kapadia in Govind Nihalani's Drishti.

Vivek and Abhishek are set to work together
Friday, October 5, 2007
Sounds like a good joke. However, our sources confirm that Bollywood Actors Vivek Oberoi and Abhishek Bachchan would be sharing the screen pace with each other in the Apoorva Lakhia's movie "Mission Istanbul".

This Bollywood movie would be produced by Sunil Shetty and he says that he doesnt have any problem to feature both the actors at the very single screen.

"Why should they have any problems? Abhishek is a thorough professional actor. He has not problem working with anyone. And werent they both part of "Shootout At Lokhandwala" ? Yes,they do have scenes together in "Mission Istanbul". And I'm sure they will do them splendidly. Its a very unfair to bring in personal matters and question professionalism. Neither Abhishek Bachchan and Vivek have expressed any misgivings about working together," Shetty said.

Shetty, currently shooting for his TV show ‘Biggest Loser’, confirms the vast star cast of his forthcoming venture.

“We’ve already confirmed Bobby Deol, Vivek, Abhishek, Shabbir Ahluwaliah. Tusshar Kapoor has problems with the combined dates required with the other actors. The problem is now being worked out,” he said.

The leading ladies are also being finalized. “They’re integral to the action. I need ladies who can kick ass as effectively as the boys,” says Shetty.

Elaborating on the preparations for the film, Shetty said: “‘Mission Istanbul’ is being made on an international scale. The theme requires an international vision. My director is browsing for F-X teams from abroad. It will be top-of-the-line technicians. They’re a step ahead not because they’re more talented but because they’re more professional.”

“We can no longer get away with sub-standard spectacles. Guys who shot ‘Dhoom’ or the forthcoming ‘Cash’ have brought an unparalleled expertise to our cinema. In both forthcoming projects ‘Mission Istanbul’ and ‘Raaste’ with Abhishek, Aishwarya, John and Sikandar Kher, I’m getting top notch technicians associated with the best of Hollywood cinema. We’re spending Rs.250 million on ‘Mission Istanbul’ and ready to spend more. I trust my director Apoorva Lakhia completely,” he said.
