 Everyone talks about Aamir Khan. They tell you he is a control freak. They tell you he has shelved the much-awaited Mani Ratnam film Lajjo. They tell you he fired debutant director Amol Gupte from his home production. They announce his marriage with Kiran Rao is over. Sometimes, once every couple of years, he chooses to do the talking. And then, everyone listens.
In an exclusive interview to The Indian Express on the sets of his forthcoming film Ghajini, Aamir broke his silence and made a big announcement: yes, he has turned director with Taare Zameen Par!
You have been quiet for a long time now.

Bollywood actor John Abraham is poised to further his global appeal with his next release, Vivek  Agnihotri's "Goal" which is being aggressively promoted at the 60th Cannes Film Festival.
"I have been at the Toronto Film Festival two years running - first with 'Water' in 2005, then with 'Kabul Express' last year - and now here I am in Cannes as well. It is really great to have your films pushed so methodically on the world stage," says Abraham, who has acquired quite an international fan following in the past two years."Goal", produced by UTV Motion Pictures, co-stars Bipasha Basu, Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani and was shot entirely in Britain. In it, Abraham plays Sunny Bhasin, a UK-born Indian who plays for a Southall football club.
Abraham agrees it is difficult for a Bollywood actor to keep doing films that are off the beaten track, but is quick to add that resistance to such a strategy within the industry is weakening appreciably.
"A new approach to film-making has taken roots in the Mumbai industry," he tells agencies. "How else do you explain an actor with a name and face like mine being so openly accepted these days?

It’s been ten years that director Anurag Basu and music director Pritam have been friends. "True friendship is very rare in this cut-throat film industry," smiles Anurag. The director reveals that he met Pritam when he wanted a music director to score a title track for the serial he was making then. "I was staying at Mira Road then. Pritam was put up at Kandivali. It was those days when we were still struggling to gain foothold in the entertainment industry. But ever since he scored music for my serial I have repeated him in all the serials that I have directed till date," says Anurag.

Famous for his comic acts actor Chunkey Pandey will now be seen in the role of a father to Iqbal star Shreyas Talpade in Ishaan. The film is being directed by ad man Anthony D’Souza.
Chunkey is gung ho about the role and says, "I can’t allow the audience to laugh at me all the time. It was high time I did something that could make you cry and that’s why I chose this film."
"But mind you, don’t just look at Shreyas and say he is such a grown up man. In the film he plays the role of a 10-year-old boy who has grown up faster. So you see, I am actually playing the role of a 10-year-old’s father," Chunkey adds. |
