अक्षय खन्ना बोले- करन जौहर की पार्टियों में शामिल होना फिल्मों में काम मिलने की गारंटी नहीं December 13, 2019 at 07:10PM

बॉलीवुड डेस्क. अक्षय खन्ना की मानें बॉलीवुड के प्रभावशाली लोगों से नजदीकियां काम मिलने की गारंटी नहीं है। उन्होंने एक इंटरव्यू में इस बात को करन जौहर का उदाहरण देकर समझाया। वे कहते हैं, "मान लीजिए मैंने करन जौहर की 10 पार्टियां अटेंड की। लेकिन क्या इससे यह सुनिश्चित है कि वे मुझे अपनी अगली फिल्म में कास्ट करेंगे? मुझे नहीं लगता कि अगर कोई मुझे अपनी फिल्म में लेना चाहता है तो वह सिर्फ इसलिए मना कर देगा, क्योंकि मैंने करन की पार्टी शामिल नहीं हुआ।"

'सब कुशल मंगल' के प्रमोशन में व्यस्त अक्षय

अक्षय इन दिनों अपनी कॉमेडी फिल्म 'सब कुशल मंगल' के प्रमोशन में व्यस्त हैं, जो 3 जनवरी 2020 को रिलीज होगी। कॉमेडी जॉनर में इससे पहले उन्होंने 'गली गली चोर है' (2012) की थी। जब इंटरव्यू में दौरान उनसे पूछा गया कि इतने सालों तक वे कॉमेडी फिल्मों से दूर क्यों रहे तो उन्होंने कहा, "कई सालों से कॉमेडी के नाम पर द्विअर्थी फिल्में रिलीज हो रही हैं। मैं ऐसी फिल्मों से नहीं जुड़ना चाहता, जिनमें एडल्ट ह्यूमर हो और जिन्हें फैमिली ऑडियंस नहीं देख सकती।"

फिल्म फ्लॉप होने से पड़ता है छवि पर असर

अक्षय खन्ना कहते हैं कि अगर किसी अभिनेता की कोई फिल्म फ्लॉप होती है तो इसका नकारात्मक प्रभाव उसकी छवि पर पड़ता है। एक ओर जहां प्रोड्यूसर्स को नुकसान उठाना पड़ता है तो वहीं अभिनेता की ब्रांड वैल्यू भी कम हो जाती है। हालांकि, अक्षय यह भी मानते हैं कि ईमानदारी से किया गया काम पर्दे पर दिखाई देता है। यही वजह है कि उनकी फिल्में फ्लॉप होने के बावजूद इंडस्ट्री में उन्हें लगातार काम मिल रहा है।

Arjun Kapoor opens up about Aditya Chopra rejecting him during auditions, nepotism, and more! December 13, 2019 at 06:36PM

Arjun Kapoor was last seen in Panipat – The Great Betrayal, a period drama, portraying the role of Sadashiv Rao Bhau. Even though the film was quite a well-made one, it failed to show results and gather footfall at the box office. In a recent interview with a leading daily, Arjun Kapoor opened up about how he does not sign films to seek external validation and proving himself. Even though the audience’s reactions matter, he chooses to enjoy the roles that he takes up because doing things for results might just cause him to make the wrong decision.

Arjun Kapoor opens up about Aditya Chopra rejecting him during auditions, nepotism, and more!

Even though he agreed that being a star kid helps in the industry, Aditya Chopra did not hesitate in rejecting him at least 4 times before he signed him for Ishaqzaade. Arjun Kapoor says his rejection and selection weren’t because of his last name, he could have easily asked his father to make a few calls to Aditya Chopra, but he chose to audition for roles himself. Expressing his respect for actors like Ayushmann Khurrana and Vicky Kaushal, Arjun says the non-star kids definitely have it more difficult than them and he respects them for it.

Coming to his last release, Panipat, Arjun said that this genre was something he always wanted to explore, so as soon as he was offered the role, he jumped right in without thinking too much about it.

Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals why she auditioned for Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha December 13, 2019 at 06:25PM

Kareena Kapoor Khan is undoubtedly one of the finest actresses in this generation. While she has been a part of several blockbusters, she has also starred in unconventional films like Chameli, Heroine among others. But, in her 19 years career, she never had to audition for any project. Interestingly, she did audition for Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha which marks the reunion of the two stars after 3 Idiots and Talaash.

Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals why she auditioned for Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha

When asked whether she was hesitant in auditioning for a role, Kareena Kapoor Khan said, “I would never audition and I have never did it in 20 years. No one has ever told me to do scenes. But I think that if it was for Hollywood or anything else, I don’t think I would have auditioned. But I have auditioned it only because it’s Aamir Khan. I know what his potential is and I know his intent. He creates a world, he wants to be 100% sure in that world. While reading the scenes, I was already sure that this will happen as I knew that I have nailed it. He also told me that, ‘When you were midway through the scene, I was telling Advait that it is done’. He can see his character and I really admire him for that.”

Furthermore, when enquired whether she is afraid of rejections, she added, “No, I think this concept was not there earlier. Even Saif told me that ‘What is the big deal? We all should do it. Actors should audition for the part.’ All the actors in Hollywood like Al Pacino don’t get a part unless they audition. Saif also said that if actors like me also start doing it, then it will be better. This is why I auditioned for it.”

Laal Singh Chaddha is an official adaptation of Forrest Gump which starred Tom Hanks. The film is scheduled for Christmas 2020 release. She is currently promoting Good Newwz which stars Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh. It is scheduled to release on December 27, 2019.

What is Ayushmann Khurrana's formula for success? The actor reveals December 13, 2019 at 04:43PM

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana's image of a bankable star is becoming sturdier with each film he does. So far, the actor has single-handedly delivered Rs. 475 crores gross and counting globally during this calendar year with his three films Article 15, Dream Girl, and Bala.

Success has taught him several good lessons which he confronted when he said, "This has been my biggest year and I have much learned from how things have panned out for me. These are invaluable findings for me as an actor and I will apply these in my content choices going forward."

Always the one to credit his film-makers for his success, Ayushmann has considered himself lucky to have collaborated with visionary directors. "I have been fortunate to have got films that have given me the opportunity to creatively express myself completely and my success is because of the film-makers who have believed in me," said the actor.

The Bala actor while speaking about the phenomenal year he had, said, "It has been an eye-opening year for me. This year has bolstered my belief that I should only back content that is extremely fresh, disruptive, unique and experimental because the audience expects that from me."

Ayushmann has not only set the cash counters ringing but he has also garnered incredible critical acclaim for the roles he has played.

Hollywood actresses who made it big in 2019 December 13, 2019 at 04:30PM

From playing superheroes to some extraordinary women, we take a look at Hollywood actresses who made it big in 2019.

किसी महिला के लिए सही लहजे में एक पुरुष की तरह नजर आना ज्यादा मुश्किल है: भक्ति राठौर December 13, 2019 at 04:30PM

बॉलीवुड डेस्क. अभिनेत्री भक्ति राठौर सीरियल 'भाकरवाड़ी' में एक पुरुष का किरदार निभा रही हैं। शो की स्टोरीलाइन के मुताबिक उर्मिला उर्फ भक्ति अन्ना (देवेन भोजानी) के ताऊ का गेट-अप में दिख रही हैं। हाल ही में दैनिक भास्कर से बातचीत के दौरान, भक्ति ने इस शो और अपने नए गेट-अप के बारे में कुछ बातें हमसे शेयर की। आइए जानते हैं क्या कहा उन्होंने:

अन्ना के ताऊ की भूमिका निभाने के लिए आपने एक पुरुष का वेश बनाया है। आगे आने वाले ट्रैक के बारे में कुछ बताएं?

अभी जो कहानी चल रही है उसमें उर्मिला, अभिषेक और गायत्री को मिलाने के मिशन पर है और इसके लिए वह कई तरह के आइडियाज लेकर आती है। जैसे-जैसे ट्रैक आगे बढ़ेगा, उर्मिला का एक आइडिया उसी पर भारी पड़ने वाला है। इस स्थिति से बाहर निकलने के लिए और अन्ना के फैसले को बदलने के लिये, उर्मिला और बाकी सभी अन्ना के ताऊ को लाने की योजना बनाते हैं। ताऊ एकमात्र ऐसे इंसान हैं जोकि अन्ना को किसी चीज के लिये भी मना सकते हैं। सब इस बारे में सोच रहे होते हैं कि कैसे ताऊ को यहां लाया जाये या फिर उनके साथ क्या हुआ होगा और वह जिंदा भी हैं या नहीं। अपने अलग अंदाज में उर्मिला चीजों को अपने हाथ में लेने का फैसला करती है और खुद ताऊ का रूप धारण कर लेती है।

एक पुरुष की तरह कपड़े पहनना कितना आसान या कितना मुश्किल है?

यह इस बात पर निर्भर करता है कि आप किस तरह की भूमिका निभाने वाले हैं। महिलाओं के लिए पुरुषों के कपड़े पहनना बहुत ही मुश्किल काम है। जैसे कि पुरुषों के लिये महिलाओं के वेश में आना। इसके साथ ही पुरुषों और महिलाओं की कद-काठी में काफी फर्क होता है। इसलिए, किसी महिला के लिये सही लहजे में एक पुरुष की तरह नजर आना ज्यादा मुश्किल है। ताऊ के किरदार के साथ, उस रियलिटी को लाना उसे और भी मुश्किल बना रहा है। चूंकि, वह अन्ना, के आदर्श हैं तो उन्हें उनसे ज्यादा प्रभावशाली होना होगा। अन्ना खुद की पसर्नालिटी काफी स्ट्रिक्ट है और ऐसे में यह और भी ज्यादा महत्व्पूर्ण हो जाता है।

ताऊ का लुक किस तरह से तैयार होता था? क्या -क्याा चुनौतियां थीं?

चूंकि, हम ताऊ के किरदार के साथ बीते जमाने में जा रहे थे तो हमें उनके लुक और हाव-भाव पर ज्यारदा गंभीरता से काम करना था। हमारे पास कुछ उदाहरण थे, हम सबने अपना-अपना दिमाग लगाया और हमने दो दिनों तक लगातार काम किया। उनमें से एक दिन मैंने परफेक्टक लुक के लिए लगातार 11 घंटे और 30 मिनट काम किया। हमने कई सारे लुक को आजमाकर देखा, उस जमाने के साथ तालमेल बिठाने की कोशिश कर रहे थे, प्रोडक्शन की क्रिएटिव टीम और चैनल ने परफेक्ट लुक मिल सके इसलिए बहुत मेहनत की।

दूसरी चुनौती उम्र की थी। हम बुजुर्ग दिखाने के लिये प्रोस्थेकटिक मेक-अप की तरफ नहीं जाना चाहते थे। सेट पर हमारे सबसे सीनियर मेक-अप आर्टिस्ट हैं, उन्होंने मुझे खुद पर बूढ़े का मेकअप करते हुए देखा था और उन्होंने मुझे इस भूमिका के लिए भी ऐसा करने के लिए कहा। इसलिए, मैंने इस पूरे लुक के लिये खुद पूरा मेक-अप किया। ताऊ के लुक के लिए मुझे 2 ज्यादा घंटे लगे। आखिरी मिनटों में हमने बंडी पहनने का फैसला किया और टेलर ने तुरंत ही उसे तैयार कर दिया। इस दौरान मैं उर्मिला के मेक-अप से ताऊ के लुक में आ गयी। उस दिन हमने 11.30 बजे तक शूटिंग की और इसके बावजूद अगले दिन सब सुबह 7 बजे सेट पर पहुंच गए। लुक को परफेक्टि बनाने के लिए वाकई सब पूरी तरह से जुटे हुए थे।

इस भूमिका के लिये क्या आपने कोई खास तैयारी की?

मुझे हमेशा से ही अन्ना का किरदार पसंद रहा है। मैं तो छुप-छुपकर देवेन भाई को परफॉर्म करते हुए देखती हूं क्योंकि हेट्सऑफ प्रोडक्शकन से जुड़े बाकी कलाकारों की तरह ही उनकी बेहतरीन तैयारी है। मैं उन्हें एक सीनियर कलाकार के रूप में अपना आदर्श मानती हूं और बतौर कलाकार, निर्देशक उन्होंने कुछ बेहद कमाल के काम किए हैं। कई बार तो वह खुद किरदारों की स्केचिंग करते हैं। इसलिये, मुझे जब भी मौका मिलता है मैं उनसे सीखने की कोशिश करती हूं और यही चीज मैंने ताऊ के किरदार के लिए भी किया है। कई बार ऐसा होता है मैं उनके साथ बैठकर कुछ खास मराठी शब्द के बारे में उनसे पूछती हूं या फिर कुछ किरदारों की कुछ बारीकियों को किस तरह से लेते हैं, इस बारे में पूछती हूं। अन्ना के किरदार और उनकी भाषा को समझने के लिये मैंने कुछ एपिसोड्स भी देखे ताकि ताऊ के किरदार को जीवंत बना सकूं। मैं नहीं चाहती थी कि वह अन्ना की नकल लगे, क्योंकि वह खुद एक इंडिपेंडेंट किरदार हैं। चूंकि, मैंने खुद ताऊ के किरदार को बनाया है, मैंने इसके लिए काफी सारी तैयारियां की। हर किसी को, जिसमें हमारे क्रिएटिव डायरेक्टर, राइटर आतिश भाई और पूरी टीम शामिल हैं, उन सबका शुक्रिया कि उन्होंने इस किरदार को गढ़ने के लिए मुझ पर यकीन किया।

चूंकि, यह एक मराठी किरदार है, आपने इसके बोलने के तौर-तरीकों पर किस तरह काम किया?

शुरुआत से ही मैं भाषाओं को सीखने की बेहद इच्छुक रही हूं। चूंकि, मैं महाराष्ट्र में रहती हूं, तो मैंने इस बात का ध्यान रखा कि मुझे मराठी आनी चाहिए। साथ ही मुझे यात्रा करना पसंद है और मैं कई लोकल जगहों पर गयी हूं, इसलिये मुझे इस भाषा की समझ है। मेरी शादी एक महाराष्ट्रियन से हुई है और इसलिये वह संस्कृति मेरे अंदर नेचुरलरूप से है। इसलिए, इसके बोलने के तौर-तरीकों पर काम करना मेरे लिए मुश्किल नहीं था।

जगजीत सिंह से लेकर शेखर सुमन तक, इन सेलेब्स ने अपनी आंखों से देखी अपने बच्चों की मौत December 13, 2019 at 04:30PM

बॉलीवुड डेस्क. अंग्रेजी में एक कहावत है 'smallest coffins are the heaviest one'. इसका मतलब है कि बच्चों की मौत से दुखद कुछ नहीं हो सकता और जो माता-पिता यह दुःख झेलते हैं, उनकी पीड़ा वही समझ सकते हैं। बॉलीवुड में भी ऐसे कई सेलेब्स हैं जिन्होंने अपनी आंखों के सामने अपने बच्चों की मौत देखी। हाल ही में एक्ट्रेस मौसमी चटर्जी की बेटी पायल मुखर्जी की डायबिटीज से मौत हो गई। मौसमी से पहले भी कई सेलेब्स अपनी बच्चों की मौत का दर्द झेल चुके हैं।
  1. जगजीत सिंह के इकलौते बेटे विवेक सिंह की साल 1990 में एक कार दुर्घटना में मौत हो गई थी। ये जगजीत की जिंदगी का सबसे बुरा दौर था। वो 6 महीने तक सदमे में थे। उन्हें इस हादसे से उबरने में काफी वक्त लगा। जगजीत की पत्नी चित्रा सिंह अपने 18 साल के बेटे की मौत का सदमा बर्दाश्त नहीं कर पाई थीं। अपने जवान बेटे की मौत का उन पर इतना गहरा असर पड़ा था कि उन्होंने गाना ही छोड़ दिया। 'समवन समव्हेयर' उनका आखिरी एल्बम था, जिसे जगजीत और चित्रा ने एक साथ गाया था।

  2. शेखर सुमन की लाइफ में भी एक वक्त ऐसा आया था जब वे डिप्रेशन में चले गए थे और अपनी जिंदगी खत्म करना चाहते थे। अपने बेटे को खोने के गम में डिप्रेशन में चले गए थे। वे और उनकी वाइफ अलका इतने ज्यादा डिप्रेशन में थे कि अपनी लाइफ तक खत्म करना चाहते थे। शेखर के बड़े बेटे आयुष को एंडोकार्डियल फाइब्रोलास्टोसिस नाम की रेयर हार्ट डिसीज थी, जिसके कारण उसकी 11 साल की उम्र में मौत हो गई थी।

Shalini Pandey, who hit the bull's eye with Arjun Reddy (2017), seems poised for a dream launch in Bollywood — the South sensation was recently announced as the female lead of Ranveer Singh starrer Jayeshbhai Jordaar. The film, which will be produced by Yash Raj Films, is expected to release next year. However, it has been learnt that the production house apparently pulled a few strings to avert what they considered as a foil in her grand debut plan.

The actor has shot for a Hindi film titled Bamfaad, which is being presented by Anurag Kashyap and was slated to release early next year. A source reveals, "Bamfaad was shot in Kanpur last year and is ready. Its post-production work too is complete. But now, YRF has entered the picture with their announcement of Jayeshbhai Jordaar. The suits at the studio have requested the makers of Bamfaad to push its release so that Shalini could be presented as a fresh face to the Hindi movie-goers." Speaking to mid-day, Kashyap hinted at the development as he said, "Bamfaad is ready. But there is something to do with the actress' other film. So, now, that will release first."

When we reached out to Yash Raj Films, the spokesperson said, "YRF has not made any such request to the makers of the concerned film."

Here are the newsmakers of this week! December 13, 2019 at 04:00PM

Just like any other week, this week too kept Bollywood buzzing with breaking news, new releases and trailers, viral photos of celebs among many other things. From Deepika Padukone's 'Chhapaak' trailer launch to Salman Khan attending the wedding ceremony of his makeup artist's son breaking the internet to Kapil Sharma becoming a father to a baby girl, here’s a rundown of what made headlines this week!

Salman Khan is a rebel with a clause on Radhe sets December 13, 2019 at 03:48PM

Salman Khan can hardly be termed as the poster boy of rule-abiding behaviour — after all, the superstar, who spent the better part of the late '90s and early 2000s being labelled the bad boy of Bollywood, has expressed his disdain for rules. But you have to hand it to him for ensuring that the crew working on his next is a disciplined lot. The actor, along with director Prabhudeva, producers Salma Khan, Sohail Khan, Atul Agnihotri and Nikhil Namit, has introduced a set of guidelines to be followed on the set of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai.

Step inside the set erected at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai, and a board with 15 guidelines awaits you. While it includes the standard instructions of not littering the premises and barring photography on the floor, the makers appear to have laid emphasis on building a healthy work environment. One of the rules clearly states that inappropriate language will not be tolerated; another indicates that they expect senior professionals to "maintain the buddy-up system", thereby helping juniors or rank newcomers with their work.

Namit, who has collaborated with Khan and Agnihotri on several movies, says, "Atul and I have followed certain rules since the Bodyguard [2011] days and have followed it up to the Dabangg series. It was our idea to have some guidelines to follow on sets. They may vary over the years. It's about creating the right atmosphere."

Does everyone — from Khan and Disha Patani to the spotboys — follow the rules? After all, one of the instructions is about strict adherence to crew call times, and stories of Khan being late to sets are legendary. "The rules are followed by every member of the cast and crew. Guidelines like 'Don't smoke on the sets' or 'Don't carry food on the sets' are practical suggestions. We want to maintain a harmonious atmosphere of cooperation," he adds.
