Priyanka-Ranbir on weight watch

Posted in News, Priyanka Chopra, Ranbir on April 20, 2009 by nrmodh
thumb.cmsfgfgFancy Priyanka Chopra with 20 more kilos? No? Priyanka too doesn’t and she has hence let one fat project slip out of her hands.
She has walked out of what could have been her most challenging role, opposite Ranbir Kapoor, in a Siddharth Anand film.

Explaining Priyanka’s decision, our source says, “Priyanka’s metabolism doesn’t permit her to experiment with weight. She needs to be slim in Yash Raj Film’s Pyaar Impossible and she can’t possibly jump to being fat within a few months. And, not after her recent health scare.”

Actors breaking the stereotypes!

Posted in Aamir Khan, News, Priyanka Chopra, Shahrukh khan, akshay kumar on April 15, 2009 by nrmodh

The Hindi film industry has had a tendency to typecast its actors. If any actor tended to do a certain genre of films, he or she got branded and also received similar offers from across the board in the filmdom…Once a vamp, always a vamp, once a sister, always a sister… once a father always a father…. once a cop… always a cop… but now cinema is no more in the Stone Age. Actors are now being accepted in different roles…

SRK

When the stammering Shah Rukh came to Mumbai after receiving a call from Hema Malini’s office, little did he know that his dream of turning actor would soon turn him into the king of Hindi films. Though he started his career as a romantic hero, his ambition to make it big compelled him to explore grey shades as well. The actor took on an anti-hero role in Baazigar and was given more ones with Darr and Anjaam as well. A string of action roles followed with the bloody Chahat too. But then it took the Yash Raj camp who gave him movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, to get SRK branded as the eternal lover boy – usually named Rahul or Raj. Yet SRK’s acting skills got much appreciated in the subtle and serious roles in recent movies like Swades and Chak De! India.

Akshay Kumar

The industry has always been quick to label actors. But only some actors have succeeded in breaking free from their given image. Since the time that martial arts ace Akshay Kumar stepped into the film industry, he was tagged as the action hero. He gave a string of flops and then went on to be a star with Khialdi. A series of action flicks and he was the Last Action Hero in moviedom.

After saturating with many action packed movies, Akshay tried his luck as a romantic hero and some good boy roles packed with emotions. And the success that eluded him and critics who called him a piece of furniture disappeared like the bad boys he beat up. Then came Hera Pheri and voila! Hindi cinema found a new surprise comic hero in the same tough Akshay. From then onwards, the story of Akshay’s comedy hits is continuing. Awara Paagal Deewana, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Garam Masala, Phir Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhag, Hey Babyy, Welcome, Bhool Bhulaiya to name ‘just a few’. Today, when his career is at an all time high, Akshay is back at what he is best in – as an action hero with Tashan and 8×10 Tasveer.

Bebo’s brand image

Bollywood’s celebrated size-zero actress Kareena Kapoor got a lucky head start in her career with Refugee. For a long time, Bebo was saddled with the next-door-girl image. That is, until she transformed into a glam doll, in films like Fida and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Just when she thought she would have been stereotyped again, came films like Chameli and Omkara. And Kareena proved that she is also a versatile Kapoor. And after a simple film like Jab We Met where she stopped doing all these by now infamous facial distortions, she has now shown that she can carry off any image with ease. Just in time comes Yash Raj movie Tashan where she will be seen in an out and out action role… a tad similar to her role in Asoka.

Priyanka Chopra

After Miss World title, Bebo’s on-again, off-again friend Priyanka Chopra’s ticket was Hindi film industry. Priyanka became the icon of style, glamour and oomph. Hardly anyone would have thought that Piggy Chops can do anything else except glamorous roles. But answering all these accusations, Priyanka is changing her image slowly and steadily. After the action oriented role in Don, she was seen in a sci-fi film and also as a bodyguard (Drona and Love Story 2050 respectively). And now with her Fashion doing superb, suddenly, Priyanka is all over the place and bagging all the Best Actress awards this year.

Aamir Khan

The original ‘chocolate boy’, Aamir Khan’s first film was an instant hit. And he was all over the place with his poster boy image. After years of standard lover boy image, not only did his fans but Aamir himself must have got bored. He

then became a face of patriotism with films like Sarfarosh, Lagaan, Rang De Basanti and then did a volte face as a terrorist with Fanaa breaking the same image that he had set. The actor tried to get into a social mould with Taare Zameen Par but Ghajini was a shocker for his fans. A rugged, rough, and tough body is something, which was never associated with this petite handsome man, but Aamir proved that change is the only constant thing in this world. Whatever is the reason for change in image of these stars be, their fans seem to love them in their new avatars and it is definitely a treat to see them move on.

Getting to know Kaminey…

Posted in First Look, Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapur, new releases on April 13, 2009 by nrmodh


Preview of Shahid and Priyanka’s new film

Schedule to release on June 5, 2009, director Vishal Bhardwaj’s latest venture “Kaminey” stars Shahid Kapur and Priyanka Chopra along with Amole Gupte.

“Kaminey” features Shahid Kapur in a double role for the first time in his career. He would be seen sporting a completely new bronzed and rugged look in the film.

Guddu and Charlie, Shahid’s two characters in the film, are completely opposite from each other. While Charlie has a lisp, Guddu would be seen stammering.

An interesting aspect of “Kaminey” is the fresh pairing of Shahid and Priyanka Chopra. The two actors share screen space for the first time and there is immense curiosity about their on screen chemistry amid rumours of a real-life romance.

Priyanka, who is currently on a high after her award winning act in “Fashion” and “Dostana”, would be seen in a completely different get-up this time round.

She plays Sweety, a simple Maharashtrian girl, and hence would be seen dressed in simple Indian dresses. The actress has even spoken quite a lot of Marathi in the film.

Amole Gupte, who wrote the story and screenplay of “Taare Zameen Par” makes his acting debut with this film. Amole would be seen as a comical don called Bhope Bhau who has quite a menacing laugh.

Let’s not talk about Gerard: Priyanka

Posted in News, Priyanka Chopra on April 13, 2009 by nrmodh

Priyanka Chopra has many reasons to smile – her movies’ve been doing well, and she’s been winning awards for her work too. She’s also been declared the number one actress in Bollywood, but this damsel would rather concentrate on her work than count numbers.

“With every hit film, you become a number one or a number two, and with each flop film, you become a number six or number seven. And hits and flops come and go like nobody’s business in this fraternity. If you start keeping track of the number and the position, you’ll really lose your mind. Nothing succeeds like success, and that’s why I pay no attention to this whole number game. We’re all striving to be successful, but the measure of success does not come from being called number one for three months and then being forgotten about,” she explains.

Next year, it’ll be 10 years since Priyanka won her Miss India and Miss World crowd. “Oh yes, that’s right! It will be about 10 years next year. It makes me feel so old! Wow, now it’s scary – I feel like I was standing on that stage like a lost little girl. And where did the time go? My God, I haven’t had time to think about that,” she says.
Priyanka maintains that she is the same simple girl that she was when she entered the industry.

“I’m not very shrewd. If I look back at my life, it makes me feel that I’ve stayed away from the conventional stuff, deliberately. For instance, the films I do, the way I lead my life – I’m a lot more private. I don’t like focussing only and only on film, I pick different things to do. I’m writing now. I like getting involved in a lot of public forums, and because of all this, I feel is unconventional,” she says, adding, “And the unconventionality continues in my movies. I like to take up all kind of genres to test myself as an actor. Even a commercial film like Dostana was unconventional. I like to take up movies that I know I’d like to watch as a member of the audience. I’m an entertainer, but I’m also the audience. And I do go to movie halls, buy my own ticket and watch a lot of movies.”

Talking about movies, Priyanka will be seen in two this year – Kaminey and What’s Your Rashee? “I had to study Marathi for my role in Kaminey, it was like I was giving my exams. I had a tutor with me all the time and a dialect coach on the sets. But it was exciting. I’m a sucker for knowledge. And I learnt the language in a month and a half!”

Talking about Kaminey, Priyanka was recently linked with none her co-star in the movie, Shahid Kapur. However, she was also recently linked with the Hollywood actor Gerard Butler. So is either of them a ‘close friend’? “I’ve always been very private about my personal life. I don’t like giving importance to non-issues.” And what about Gerard Butler, ain’t she friends with him? “I don’t know if I want to talk about that,” she demurs.
