A lot of films have been at the centre of controversies in all the years I have been an observer of the film trade. Some, because they chose a subject where a certain community was at the centre of the story, some, while they were attempting a realistic film, and some others who loved a book penned by a renowned writer, decided it was worth retelling it as a film and getting brickbats in return.
Take, for instance, ‘Ramnagari’ by Ram Nagarkar. The film was made by the National Award-winning filmmaker Kantilal Rathod in 1982. Objections were raised against certain references in the film and the Censor Board stalled its release. The problem Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Billu Barber’ faced some 27 years later was similar. The community known as Nayi or Hajam is called Barber in English.
In later years, these examples were followed by communities on a larger scale and somewhere along the way,...

InterviewPriyadarshan talks about who he believes is the best among the new breed of actors in Malayalam and why he hasn’t worked with Rajinikanth, among other things.Rajaneesh VilakudyFacebookThat old adage that the show must go on has come a cropper in this unprecedented season of the coronavirus. Nobody has an exact picture of how things may pan out and showbiz is equally in the dark, exploring strategies to wriggle its way out. While some small or medium budget films look for Ott windows, big films with massive budgets need to wait longer. Priyadarshan’s Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham, the most expensive Malayalam film ever made with a budget of Rs 100 crore, was to hit the screens in March but its planned, simultaneous release — in over 5,000 screens across the world — has now been delayed indefinitely.

While she is an actor par excellence, it seems Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan also loves (rather wants) to be known as the 'item queen'. In past few years she has done an array of exotic and naughty dance numbers (in films like Gabbar, Heroine, Dabnagg 2, Don, Billu, Agent Vinod) and now she adds yet another track to her list with 'Mera Naam Mary Hai' from the film Brothers.
While Kareena tries every bit to grab eyeballs with her latkas and jhatkas, hoot for her, Bebo somehow looks too sophisticated for the cheesy item number. Well, here are the five reasons that will make you also believe how Kareena looks a misfit in this song or she is simply not meant to do these numbers. Take a look:

Saturday’s episode opened with hosts Manish and Ranvir sitting in a Sholay style motorbike singing ‘Ye Dosti, Hum Nahin Todenge’ from the film Sholay. The song ended and contestant Mouni proved to be a “distraction” for the boys and the audience were led to thinking they have had an accident. The next scene had two coffins and the judges and contestants were crying as if the hosts Manish and Ranvir are no more. But of course, they both turned up (much to the “disappointment of the judges/contestants!) and the show began as normal. Thankfully!
The first contestant who was safe from eliminations, was Sophie. It was great to see her out of the face-off and being the first contestant to perform on the show. Sophie and her choreographer Deepak, performed an aerial act and their chosen dance style was Aerial and Freestyle. Before Sophie’s act began, we...

The super-prolific Priyadarshan who has directed 83 films in his 30-year career has just had a year, the first in his career, without releases. In 2011 Priyan had no releases. But he's ready to make up for the lost year with as many as 4 films in 2012. Of these, the 'family comedy'(as he dubs it) which he will direct in July for producers Asthavinayak has him specially kicked. Not only is he working with Abhishek Bachchan for the first time, he has also reached out to Deepika Padukone for the female lead opposite Abhishek. Deepika and Priyadarshan had a noisy fall-out five years ago when she opted out of Priyadarshan's project Pirates about music piracy. Priyan was keen to launch her. The film was supposed to feature Deepika with four other newcomers playing part of a music band. Instead Deepika chose to make her debut with Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om.

Mumbai, Jan 12: Actress Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Priyadarshan had a noisy fallout five years ago when she opted out of his project "Pirates", but the two have patched up now and have agreed to work together.
Priyadarshan was keen to launch Deepika and the film was supposed to feature her with four other newcomers playing a music band. Instead Deepika chose to make her debut with Farah Khan's "Om Shanti Om".
After that Priyadarshan stayed away from Deepika until 2008 when Shah Rukh Khan used his clout to persuade Deepika to perform an item song in Priyadarshan's "Billu", which Srk's Red Chillies Entertainment had produced. The thawing of the ice had begun.
Now it's time for the director and actress.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is as busy as ever, signing new projects and promoting home productions. In fact, he hasn’t been getting much sleep due to the intense work being put in on his pet project Ra.One. Thankfully, his other productions are being taken care of, such as how Roshan Abbas has held the reigns for Always Kabhi Kabhi. This most recent Srk production release is about high school kids, sending Srk back to his own school day memories. His schooling at St. Columba’s in Delhi was a very strict one, unlike the carefree filmi portrayals. “When I see Aryan and Suhana, I realize schools have become easier now. You couldn’t be a badmaash (truant) in my school.”
Shah Rukh has also signed on for Yash Chopra’s next directorial venture. The film will be a romance co-starring both Katrina Kaif – her first time opposite Srk – and Anushka Sharma.

Lara, 33, who also stars in this comedy opposite Vinay Pathak, talks to Udita Jhunjhunwala on marriage, travel and future plans.
It?s been quite a year for you.
(Laughs) I don?t know what I was thinking! In August 2010, I had just set up Bheegi Basanti Entertainment and was in pre-production of Chalo Dilli. I had signed Don 2 and I was sitting on the making of the Heal DVD series. I got engaged and planned a wedding in five months and I shot both the films at around the same time. And I am busier now than ever before.

Shah Rukh Khan on stage is nothing new. He's been charming audiences for years, be it in India, across Europe, even the United States. So, when he took the stage at the Ipl Opening Ceremony at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday night, we knew he would be his charming self.
The show started off with Srk performing to the superhit 'Chak De India', but this version was remixed in a very different way. He then moved on to the hits, 'Love Mera Hit Hit' and 'Marjaani' from Billu in true crowd pleasing King Khan style.
Next Srk surprised the crowd by grabbing a water bottle, holding it as a microphone, and mouthing a greeting in Tamil (his voice had been recorded earlier), which brought cheers from the crowd. He told the crowd that Chennai's energy is the highest, their Rajni is the best, and their whistles are the loudest.

He told the crowd that Chennai's energy is the highest, their Rajni is the best, and their whistles are the loudest.

Before another film with Farah, Akshay is being directed by Farah's husband Shirish Kunder. "Why just her husband? I'm doing a second film with her brother Sajid Khan and a second film with Shirish. Shirish and I are producing his Joker. But it has nothing to do with the circus." Akshay co-stars with Sonakshi Sinha in Joker. "I saw her in Dabangg. It didn't look like her first film. She was so confident and complemented Salman perfectly. I hope we look as good together." Defending Tmk Akshay says, "No matter what some people have to say the fact is, our film had the biggest opening of the year along with Dabangg and Golmaal 3. Audiences go to a Farah Khan film to see a Manmohan Desai kind of full-on masala entertainment. To that extent, she hasn't disappointed. I was doing what Austin Powers does in the Hollywood slapsticks. People seem to love that.

'Billu' (2009)
Starring Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta, Shahrukh Khan
'Billu' is a commentary on fame, brought to you by the most famous movie star in the world, Shahrukh Khan. The actor essentially plays himself—a mega-wattage celebrity—whose name is Sahir Khan. Sahir is supposedly the long-lost friend of a humble village barber named Billu, played by character actor par excellence Irrfan Khan. Billu's business is failing because a fancy new hair salon across the street has taken all his customers, who don't want to frequent his dilapidated shop, which he can't afford to fix up, and his young son and daughter are going to get kicked out of school if he doesn't come up with the tuition he's behind on paying. Sahir shoots some scenes for his upcoming movie in Billu's village, rumors spread that Billu knows Sahir, and suddenly Billu becomes a local celebrity,...
