Ayesha Takia friend on top

Anjana Sukhani may have been relegated to back seat in SUNDAY where she played Ayesha Takia’s friend but her career is certainly going in the right direction.

After making an impression in SALAAM-E-ISHQ last year and also getting ready to be seen in GOLMAAL RETURNS later this year, she has just been signed on in ALLAH KE BANDE. She is the only leading lady in the film which stars Sharman Joshi.

When contacted Anjana said, “Yes, I have signed on the film but we are not making a big splash around the announcement of the film. The idea to keep is slow and get on with the film’s shoot. Later when an opportune time arrives, we would be talking about the film further. But yes, I am happy to be a part of the project. It has helped me take a few more steps ahead in my career.”

Directed by debutant Farouque Kabir who had earlier shot for a short film THE AWAKENING with Ajay Devgan, ALLAH KE BANDE is said to be a film which belongs to adventure genre. The film is produced by Ravi Walia who has earlier made FIGHT CLUB.

ALLAH KE BANDE also stars Naseruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni and Anupam Kher.

Ayesha Takia, one of Bollywood’s up and coming actresses is very careful about what she says yes to and what she says no to in her films. Ayesha does not want to do anything bold in her films and refuses to kiss her co-stars. She is also very careful not to wear costumes she considers to sexy.

Ayesha says, “There’re things that I wouldn’t do, like kiss and wear certain kinds of clothes. And yes that does put me at a disadvantage. But I’m very happy with the work that I’m getting. After Dor, I’m being taken seriously as an actress.”

Her saying no to kissing, is however, causing her to lose out on parts but Ayesha says, “But I don’t mind losing out on roles. At least ten years from now I don’t want to look back and cringe at anything. I’ve a family and a boyfriend. And I don’t want to embarrass anyone.”

One role was in the film Aashayein, directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, “I just couldn’t do the kissing scene in Aashayein. We tried to find a way out. But it didn’t work out for me. Fortunately for me, Nagesh is a dear friend. He didn’t hold my ‘No’ against me,” Ayesha said.

In fact she has been filming for Nagesh’s Tasveer opposite Akshay Kumar. “We completed Tasveer with Akshay Kumar in Canada. And there was nothing there to made me uncomfortable.”

Next in the pipline is a film opposite Salman Khan, “I’ve Prabhu Deva’s Wanted, an action film with Salman Khan. Here I don’t have much to do. I hang around doing whatever leading ladies do …sing, dance and purse my lips when the hero fights.”

About her boyfriend Ayesha says, “I’m so glad Farhan is not a part of the industry. And that he’s a self- made man who loves me for whom I am. I don’t think having a boyfriend is any problem for a career. The only annoying part of having a boyfriend is that every time I’ve a release I’m informed by the press that I’m getting married in two months. It irritates me. When I get married I’ll announce it from rooftops. I’m proud of my boyfriend.”

Ayesha Takia refuese to strip, kiss

Ayesha Takia is shooting down roles that require her to wear skimpy clothes or get intimate with her co-star because she doesn’t want to embarrass her family and boyfriend.

Ayesha is aware that her more uninhibited colleagues are benefiting while she refuses to get bold on camera.

“But I don’t mind losing out on roles. At least 10 years from now I don’t want to look back and cringe at anything. I’ve a family and a boyfriend. And I don’t want to embarrass anyone,” Ayesha, who was recently seen in ‘Sunday’ in a clean role, told us.

“There’re things that I wouldn’t do, like kiss and wear certain kinds of clothes. And yes that does put me at a disadvantage. But I’m very happy with the work that I’m getting. After ‘Dor’, I’m being taken seriously as an actress.”

She said no to Nagesh Kukunoor, who made ‘Dor’.

“I just couldn’t do the kissing scene in ‘Aashayein’. We tried to find a way out, but it didn’t work out for me. Fortunately, for me, Nagesh is a dear friend. He didn’t hold my ‘no’ against me. We completed ‘Tasveer’ with Akshay Kumar in Canada. And there was nothing there to make me uncomfortable.”

The actress has an exciting year ahead with films with big-league heroes.

“I’m working with Akshay Kumar in Nagesh Kukunoor’s supernatural-psychological thriller ‘Tasveer’. Then I’ve Prabhu Deva’s ‘Wanted’, an action film with Salman Khan. Here I don’t have much to do. I hang around doing whatever leading ladies do - sing, dance and purse my lips when the hero fights.”

Candid in her self-assessment, she sees a boyfriend as no impediment to her career.

“In fact, I’m so glad Farhan is no part of the industry. And that he’s a self-made man who loves me for who I am. I don’t think having a boyfriend is any problem for a career.

“The only annoying part of having a boyfriend is that every time I’ve a release I’m informed by the press that I’m getting married in two months. It irritates me. When I get married I’ll announce it from the rooftops. I’m proud of my boyfriend.”

Last year she had a rough patch when ‘Salaam-e-Ishq’ and ‘No Smoking’ bombed.

“Everyone kept asking why I reappeared in ‘No Smoking’ in a double role. I’d like all questions about that film to be directed to Anurag Kashyap. I’ve no clue. It was a small role, just 10 days’ work. I’d do another film for Anurag anytime. He’s a friend.”

Sunday movie is hit

Stars: Ajay Devgan, Ayesha Takia, Irrfan Khan

‘What if one day went missing from your life?’ is the tagline to this attempt at a comic murder caper. A more appropriate blurb should have been: ‘Are you prepared to lose two and a half hours of your time?’

It opens in Delhi with the murder of a young woman by her lover. We then meet crooked cop Rajvir (Ajay Devgan) as he chases a drug dealer across the rooftops of Chandni Chowk, a suburb. Meanwhile, dubbing artist Shahar (Ayesha Takia) decides to party at a disco on Saturday night. She is understandably worried when she wakes up the next day and realises it’s actually Monday. Shahar has no recollection of her ‘missing Sunday’.

“How could I forget?” is the profound query Shahar poses to Rajvir as they attempt to unravel events. It emerges that she encountered various strangers on her way home. These include a cabbie, a struggling actor and two lads with mischief on their minds. She becomes a murder suspect when one of them is found murdered.

Will Sundays ever be the same again for our hapless heroine?

Director Rohit Shetty aims for an entertaining comic thriller. He flounders on all counts. Expect Bollywood base humour. Targets include deriving laughs from people with speech and voice impediments, the on-going Kashmiri conflict between India and Pakistan, South Indians, gay rape and, most outrageously, the 9/11 tragedy.

Frequent ‘Matrix meets Charlie Angels’ type action sequences with lots of split screen montages and slow motion shots of men and chillies flying in the air are resorted to in order to generate thrills. This would be forgivable if had Shetty adopted a propulsive pace. Instead, just as the mystery deepens, the plot pauses for the lovers to sing the obligatory romantic duet. Further, proceedings are swamped by two ‘item’ dance numbers, performed by star kids.

Talented actors like Devgan, Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan retain their dignity in the feeble frolics. The top heavy Takia, sporting a frilly dress and denim jacket, delivers the surprise performance and you almost feel sorry for her character’s plight.

The denouement, when it finally comes, is as predictable as the numerous touristy shots of New Delhi and the filmic Tarantino flourishes. Tighter plotting and some sophisticated jokes would have lifted this remake of a Telugu flop to a worth a look level. As it is, this is an amnesic Sunday.

John said sorry to Ayesha Takia

AyeshaIt was during one of the scenes of their forthcoming film No Smoking that John Abraham was seen constantly apologising to co-actor Ayesha Takia.

I was to blow smoke on her face for a particular scene and it took some shots to get it right. She obviously must’ve felt uncomfortable, more so because she is a non-smoker. So it was only courteous that I apologise. It’s his gentlemanly ways and chivalry that make him so ‘mind-blowing’!

Ayesha takia in “No smoking”

Directed by Anurag Kashyap ‘No Smoking’ subtly delivers a message of quitting cigarette smoking. “If one has to quit smoking, one must make up the mind to do so. No one’s force can help in quitting smoking” says Anurag Kashyap.

John Abraham plays the role of the chain smoker and Ayesha Takia plays the role of his girl friend. The film also features Ranvir Shorey in supporting role.
Well, no just that. The film features an item song by John’s girlfriend Bipasha Basu and Saif Ali Khan.

With a serious social message, the film will hit your neighbouring cinema hall on October 26th, 2007.
