Actress Nargis Fakhri, who was recently seen in the streaming show ‘Tatlubaaz’, is celebrating the tenth anniversary of her film ‘Main Tera Hero’ on Thursday.
The film marked her third theatrical release after ‘Madras Cafe’ and ‘Rockstar’, and allowed her to shed the heaviness of both these projects given her initial two films featured an intense narrative.
In the film, the actress shared the screen with Varun Dhawan and Ileana D’Cruz.
Talking about the film completing ten years of its release, Nargis said: “Time flies by so fast! It feels like it was just yesterday when we shot the film. I had a great time working with director David Dhawan, and my co-stars Varun Dhawan and Ileana D’Cruz. It is rare that a film like ‘Main Tera Hero’ comes by and keeps you laughing throughout. We have spent some great moments shooting the film, and I will always cherish it.

Ileana D'Cruz shared a recent photoshoot with funny captions, lets have a look at the same. Ileana D'Cruz, an actress and model who predominantly appears in Telugu and Hindi language films was born in Mumbai but spent most of her childhood in Goa.
When in Goa, the manager at her mother's workplace, suggested that Ileana had a vibrant smile and should start modelling and fixed a meeting with Marc Robinson. Someone apparently also mentioned that Ileana had chiseled features & a figure to die-for. Though initially reluctant, she was persuaded and her first portfolio was created in January 2003, which she described as a 'disaster'.
D'Cruz made her screen debut in 2006 with Telugu-language film Devadasu, which was a commercial success whilst earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debutant.

It has happened! Varun Dhawan has now scored his triple hat trick with Judwaa 2, what with the film turning out to be a major success. He has also turned out to be the only actor to achieve this feat in the history of Bollywood as no one else has seen nine successes in a row and that too right from the inception of his career. Yes, there have been actors who have given nine back-to-back hits, be it Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan or Salman Khan. However they did that when they had already been in the industry for a while. Varun Dhawan has done that right from being a newbie and that makes the super success of Judwaa 2 even sweeter.
The film has now collected 59.25 crore already and that too in just three days. It has emerged as David Dhawan’s biggest grosser (in the current times) in...

8 releases – 8 successes!
This is what Varun Dhawan’s report card has read ever since he stormed into the Bollywood scene five years back with Karan Johar’s Student of the Year. From doing a student romcom to stepping into the big shoes of Salman Khan with his ninth release Judwaa 2, Varun Dhawan has already seen the kind of an enviable Box Office run that dreams are made of. He is of course looking at extending this winning streak now with the David Dhawan-Sajid Nadiadwala film that is super hot in the industry circles and is expected to take one of the best starts for a Bollywood release in 2017.

Varun says, “After ABCD2, this is the second time I’m doing a Ganpati song. Bappa was also part of Main Tera Hero and is a big part of Judwaa 2.”

Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu have been finalised to romance around in the movie ‘Judwaa-2’.

Varun Dhawan is the only actor from his generation to be enjoying a clean slate so far. Student of the Year, Main Tera Hero, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya, Badlapur, Any Body Can Dance 2, Dilwale – each of his films has been a Hit, Superhit or at least a profitable affair for the makers. He has dabbled across solo starrers and two hero films and has found steady audience coming his way. With a double hat-trick to his name, Varun has been enjoying a steady pace in his career. Though in Shahrukh Khan’s Dilwale his antics weren’t on display in full throttle, the fact remains that the film did come close to the 150 crore mark.
Now that he is being seen in Dishoom where he has another senior actor [John Abraham] alongside him, he definitely hasn’t been relegated to the background. In fact the makers [Sajid Nadiadwala, Rohit Dhawan] and presenters [Eros] have done well...

Sonakshi Sinha is known to speak her heart out especially to the ones who troll her on Twitter and other social media platforms. And now the actress yet again stood up against a Twitter follower who accused Sonakshi and other Bollywood actresses of skin show in films. When one of the fans of Sonakshi Sinha recently asked when will he get to see Sonakshi in a bikini, the actress firmly put an end to such pervert-ish message retaliating that he should be asking his mother or sister this question. Whilst feminists would have appreciated this bold reply, there were some who came to the defense of the guy who asked Sonakshi this question. Amongst the twitteratis, one said, "@sonakshisinha Bollywood actresses who sell their skin for money need not lecture us about what is shameless!" Soon after, Sonakshi too responded to the tweet saying, "Us?? So ur sayin ur in...

I have had two releases this year and have seen quite a bit of Dilwale already. I hope that Dilwale can become the most entertaining film of the year.
Before the official announcement came, you were often asked about playing a role in Dilwale based on rumours. You seemed excited but always refused to comment.

The success of Barfi and Main Tera Hero did nothing much for its leading lady Ileana D'Cruz's career in Bollywood. And whatever advantage she gained through the two films was lost with her Saif starrer Happy Ending. Undeterred, Ileana has now bagged a role opposite Asia's biggest action star Jackie Chan and has even flown off to Dubai to shoot the film even as you read this. The project entitled Kung Fu Yoga is directed by Stanley Tong who earlier cast Mallika Sherawat with Jackie Chan in The Myth where Ms Sherawat had a blink-and-miss role. Ileana has a lot more to do in Kung Fu Yoga, plus some very cool stunts that Mr Chan is personally supervising. Says a source close to the project, "Ileana's role in Kung Fu Yoga is far lengthier than Mallika's in The Myth. She is there all through the film." Sonu Sood...

The son of director David Dhawan, brother of Desi Boyz director Rohit Dhawan and a protégé from the school of Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan may well have a strong film pedigree behind him, but the grounded actor has always been determined to seek success on his own merit.

Known for his high energy and his effortless dance ability, he now shows off all his best moves in ABCD2, as he matches steps with dance legend Prabhu Deva.

Abcd 2, sequel to Abcd, is about to hit the screens (June 19, 2015) and the lead stars Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor are mighty nervous about it. In fact at a recent promotional event the duo even expressed that how pressurized they are feeling as the prequel was a success.
While we do understand Varun and Shraddha's state of mind, we think the actors really need not worry. And what makes us say so confidently? Well, firstly both the actors Varun and Shraddha are going great guns in Bollywood. Considering their past record (Varun's Badlapur, Main Tera Hero, Soty, while Shraddha's Ek Villain, Aashiqui 2), everyone's upbeat that their combo will work for Abcd 2.

Bollywood diva Nargis Fakhri has made her first foray into Hollywood with action-comedy film, Spy, also starring Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne, Miranda Hart, Bobby Cannavale, Allison Janney and Jude Law.
The sultry actress plays a negative role in the film and has a major action sequence with actress McCarthy in the movie.
Born in New York to Pakistani and Czesh parents, Nargis made her Bollywood debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar and was most recently seen in Main Tera Hero with Varun Dhawan.
Speaking to BollySpice before she wowed fans and the paparazzi at the London premiere of the film, Fakhri said, “I love London, especially when the weather is nice. It’s really close to Mumbai too as it’s only eight-hours on a flight compared to sixteen-hours to New York or even twenty-four-hours to Los Angeles.”
Directed by Paul Feig, Spy came to Nargis when she met the film-maker in La.

Despite being part of the above-mentioned successful films, Evelyn counts Ishqedarriyaan as her debut film.
"Yes it's kind of my debut film. I mostly did multi-starrers with big cast. They were comedy flicks. I have done known films like Yaariyan, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, etc. Since Ishaqedaariyan is my own film, it's a different feeling. You will get to see new side of Evelyn but it's not like I am super anxious or nervous. Although, there is lot of pressure as a performer, because all this while I had a 20-minute role and now I have to perform for 2 long hours."
Having said that, Evelyn clears that her role in Kuch Kuch Locha Hai was equally significant.

Traditionally, actresses would never be seen, either on or off screen without their share of makeup. They absolutely refused to show their natural look as they felt it would not be accepted by the audience. But now things have changed. Each time an actress has moved away from the conventional method and tried something absolutely hatke, audiences have enthusiastically appreciated their efforts. Here is a list of some top actresses of Bollywood who have gone natural for a film and received much appreciation for it.
Kangana Ranaut in ‘Queen’- The gorgeous actress has done various films where she was required to don anattractive avatar but, with ‘Queen’, the talented actress took over Bollywood with acompletelyplainlook. In simple kurtis for most of the film, Kangana played a shy yet gutsy Delhi girl. The movie was a super hit with the audiences and Kangana’s effort was rewarded with a National Award and a Filmfare Award.

Time and again there have been speculations as to who would play Sangeeta Bijlani in Anthony D'souza's biopic on former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin. From Kareena Kapoor Khan to Prachi Desai to Jacqueline Fernandez to Kriti Sanon, several names cropped up for playing the part.
Recently, reports were rife that Nargis Fakhri (Rockstar, Main Tera Hero fame) is going to be playing the much talked about role. To our inquisitiveness, when we contacted filmmaker Anthony, he plainly denied it and was amused about such rumours floating around.
He said in an amused tone, "These are all plain rumours. If the role demands we might even cast her. But as of now nothing has been finalized yet. We are still in the scripting stage. The film will hit the floors in August."

If Bollywood were to compile a list of people getting a very unexpected surprise, then, possibly the one name which will top the charts is that of Umesh Ghadge. For starters, Umesh, who is making his directorial debut with the third instalment of Kya Kool Hain Hum, was an assistant to filmmaker David Dhawan (in films like Partner, Main Tera Hero) before taking a plunge into direction.

Badlapur has emerged as a good success of the season. After a series of failed films week after week, industry was getting jittery and there was a solid thought that the next big success would come up only after the World Cup finals. However, just when it seemed like a hopeless scenario, an Adult rated film like Badlapur hit the screens and ended up emerging as a profitable venture for all involved.
If the weekend was good, the weekdays stayed consistent as well, hence resulting in around 37 crore coming in at the end of the week. Now these are good results indeed for the Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer as one would have expected a total like this to be earned during the film’s lifetime run, considering its dark and disturbing theme. However, now that the film has been accepted by the audience, and there is not much...

How do you look back on last year?
It was amazing. I feel it has been a very long year too because it started with Main Tera Hero. It was my second film and I was really scared and nervous. Then going into a film like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania was different. I just feel a better connection with the audience now. I just don’t want to let them down.
As you made your debut with Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt in 2012, there are always comparisons with the two regarding film choices, box office collections etc. How do you deal with that?...

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has pledged to create awareness about depression, anxiety and mental health this year. The 29-year-old star decided to do so after experiencing depression last year and also recently spoke out in detail about battling depression and receiving treatment for it, which she says helped her get back on track.
Now young actor Varun Dhawan opened up to UK Bollywood journalist Sunny Malik about being depressed during the making of his forthcoming release, Badlapur.
When asked whether the Main Tera Hero actor was depressed while making the dark noir-drama, Dhawan said, “I was depressed. I was not clinically declared depressed but I was heading there. I was very sad to a certain degree. I don’t want to use the term ‘depression’ loosely because it’s a serious illness. It definitely effected my mental health. I was prescribed and did see a Doctor for it as well.

The celebrated filmmaker and cartoonist Walt Disney once said, “Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.” Whatever background or class you belong to, we all love to relish in a Bollywood film now and again.

Directors, they are the driving force behind the movies. They take the words on the page and bring them to life on screen. They guide the actors, they work with the crew, they create the shots, they create the sound and the songs with the music directors and so much more. Every year there are some directors whose work truly stands out and we like to shine the spotlight on them. So, it’s not strictly a top ten and we have not put them in numerical order as such. Plus there are a few surprise horses, but here are the directors the BollySpice team thought shone through brightest in 2014 and a few personal reasons for why – enjoy!
