Abhay Deol turns producer

Abhay Deol turns producer, his first film will be action flick titled Basra

Deols of Bollywood are synonymous to action, just as Kapoors are synonymous to romance. But one Deol boy took the high road. He did the unexpected and did every kind of role but action oriented, that boy was Abhay Deol.

The unconventional hero of Bollywood, now has his own production company called, 'Forbidden Films' that is expected to make films that are not typical to Bollywood. Their first venture is the film titled Basra, which is going to see Abhay as the action hero. So, the Deol boy is going to carry on the family tradition by bashing people up on screen.

One wonders if it is a well thought out strategy as this is his first film as a producer. Abhay states that action, comedy and romance are safe genres and when one becomes a producer, he needs to be cautious and read the market.

But this does not mean that he is following Dharmendra or brother Sunny's footsteps, he clarifies that if others think that he is fit to do only certain kind of movies, he will make movies in which he gets to be different.

Movie Preview: Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

Prem (Ranbir) is an ajab kind of guy. As life president of Happy Club, he’s always trying to maker everyone happy, but somehow it always ends in disaster.

Jenny (Katrina) is shy, sweet natured, hard working girl who loves books.

Prem kidnaps Jenny by mistake. Big mistake! Because now Jenny thinks he’s the worst form on earth. Ouch! But he thinks she’s beautiful. In his words, she’s “chalti firti vanilla ice cream”. She’s yummy.

Love can make you do the strangest things. And if Prem is ajab, his love is ghazab too.

But there’s a problem.

Jenny wants “ek achcha ladka jo kaam par jaaye…time pe ghar aaye”. But Prem has never worked in life. Now he’s spending hours and hours churning out laddoos and frying jalebis in a Halwai shop. Sweat and Slurp!!!

Prem has always been a shudh vegetarian. Now, he’s putting tigers to shame with all the chicken he’s eating. Chomp…Chomp!!

And as icing on the wedding cake, he even helps Jenny run away from her own wedding. With a furious father, frustrated bridegroom, greedy don and a wily politician running after them…Prem and Jenny have many odds against them.

What’s going to happen now? Prem’s prem kahani had an Ajab beginning, will it have a Ghazab ending.

Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film has music by Pritam and action by Tinu Verma.

Music Review: Kurbaan

Singers: Sukhwinder Singh, Kailash Kher, Marianne D'Cruz Aiman, Salim Merchant, Vishal Dadlani, Sonu Niigaam, Shruti Pathak and Shreya Ghoshal

Lyricist: Niranjan Iyengar

Music Directors: Salim Merchant-Sulaiman Merchant

Rating: *** 1/2

Salim-Sulaiman have slowly emerged as creators of amazing and impressive music. With their next album for the movie "Kurbaan", which has Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, they have proved their prowess yet again. The album boasts of songs that grow on you and are not typical.

There are five originals and one remix in the album.

"Ali maula", brilliantly sung by Salim Merchant himself, has a dark, edgy beginning. The slow-paced devotional number is impactful and has minimal musical arrangements.

The track also has a remixed version, which is faster and introduces more orchestration.

Up next is "Dua" - it exudes freshness and gets an edge with the vocals. Crooned by two very talented singers -- Sukhwinder Singh and Kailash Kher -- the song begins with English lyrics rendered by Marianne D'Cruz Aiman. It has strong musical backing and a qawwali touch, which makes it interesting.

Then comes title track "Kurbaan hua" that has Vishal Dadlani behind the mike. It reminds of "Nazara hai" from the film "8 x 10 Tasveer". Nonetheless, "Kurbaan hua" is a power-packed rock number that does create an impact.

Next is "Rasiya", which is the best song of the album. With the deep and extremely engaging voice of Shruti Pathak, the sensual number instantly strikes a chord with the listener. A semi-classical song like this has come in the forefront after a long time.

Finally there is a pleasing romantic number "Shukran allah" sung by Sonu Niigaam, Shreya Ghoshal and Salim Merchant. Its mellow arrangements make it a soothing and likeable song.

On the whole, the album is worth checking out. Salim-Sulaiman have done a great job yet again.

“The venue is booked and the preparations for the same are on going on very strongly. Along side the duo are just waiting for Shamita Shetty to come out of Bigg Boss house, ” chirps the source.

Try and get her to speak about her wedding plans and Shilpa chastises you again, “Why would I tell you that now?” But will it be this year, or the next, and how big will it be, if she’s got a dream wedding? “I will make an official announcement, like I did for my engagement.

There has to be a right time and place for everything, and I’m not talking, nazar lagti hai yaar! I understand that everyone’s really happy for me, but all I want to say is that I’m very happy, and we’ll make an announcement as soon as everything’s finalised.”

Elaborating more on their wedding groundwork our source quips, “The wedding will be taking place either in Jaipur or Udaipur, in one of the lavishing palace. It’s definitely going to be a huge affair and the guest lists of VVIP guests are also prepared.”

All we can say that viewers don’t be surprised if Shamita makes a quick exit from the Bigg Boss house.

Sanjay Dutt on 'Knock-out' diet for Kangana Ranaut

50-year Sanjay Dutt has been shooting with 20-something Kangana Ranaut.

And if they were looking super-compatible in spite of Dutt being half of Kangana’s age it’s all because of a special ketosis-based diet.

Says a source close to Dutt, “Sanjay went on this special diet in June. It required him to take lots and lots of fattie food and no carbohydrates at all.

In fact carbs would’ve been potentially lethal for this diet. In no time Sanjay started losing weight. And that too without Sanju having to give up his favourite food.”

Today Dutt is looking trimmer than he did ten years ago.And when he shot with Kangana last week the camera couldn’t tell their age difference.

Dutt plays an assassin out to get his victim with a sniper rifle in Knock Out.

Kangana Ranaut has always had a fascination for assassin heroes. She began her career with Gangster where her assassin-hero was the 30-plus Shiney Ahuja.

Now in Mani Shankar’s Knock Out she’s again attracted to the killer-hero, this time played by the 50-year old Sanjay Dutt. The two became professionally fond of one another while shooting for the comedy No Problem in Cape Town.

When Mani Shankar was looking for a bright intense young actress to play a television journalist it was Dutt who recommened Kangana.

Rohit Varma faking identity in Bigg Boss House

'Rohit Verma is a well known designer in the fashion industry, ' states the Bigg Boss's official record but the truth according to the Delhi's fashion circuit's insiders is far from the claim. According to them Varma is actually a fashion choreographer and not a designer!

As per Sunil Sethi, president FDCI, Rohit is more of a fashion choreographer than a fashion designer and definitely he is not active in the Delhi fashion circuit.

It seems like designers too have turned their backs on Rohit. Charu Parashar, for instance said, "He claims to be a designer, but isn't one for sure."

Neil admits to masturbation and gay lovemaking scenes

After blurring Neil Nitin Mukesh's frontal nude scene in Jail, Madhur Bhandarkar has now chopped the masturbation scene, well almost.

Tells Neil, "This quence was shot with 450 other actors present on the set. Frankly, if it was any other director, I'd have said no. But knowing the way Madhur depicts explicit sexual scenes, I said yes.

All the inmates are asleep when I do it. Now, most of the scene has been chopped off. But we still see the character doing it."

Although the scenes expose the reality, Madhur doesn't want to take any risk with the censor board and fall into any kind of controversy.

Neil also justifies the behaviour of his charcter by saying, "My nude or masturbation scenes are not for titillation. It's a very practical need in the script. My character is in Jail without sex for more than two years. What does he do? He naturally seeks pleasure by himself.

In the scene that we shot, my character fantasises about his girlfriend and gets his gratification. But honestly, after Madhur and I shot it, we found we had gone too far. It was too explicit. It was just not going with Indian aesthetics. So we decided to knock it off quite a bit by mutual consent. We just wondered if the flow of the narration would be hampered."

That's not only sexually explicit sequence Neil has participated in for Jail. "In one sequence, I go in the night to the bath and see one boy performing oral sex on another. I interrupt them and one of them says, 'You had to come and spoil the fun!' While we agreed to remove dialogue the scene of oral sex remains."
