"I don't yell from the top of my voice about being the lead" - Emraan Hashmi
By Joginder Tuteja,
For Emraan Hashmi, playing an integral character in a film is the most important thing to do regardless of the screen space he gets. So whether it is a small but critical role in Kalyug or an obsessive lover with villainous shades in Murder or one of the three key characters in Raaz - The Mystery Continues, he approaches them with all the honesty and integrity.
Ask him if he is the main lead in the film or Adhyayan Suman and he goes on to reply, "I don't really get into topics like these because gone are the days when there was the concept of a hero or a main lead. I pick up a film when I am very convinced about a role because it's the depth in the character that matters most. If I like it, I go ahead and do it. I don't get into matters where I have to worry about whether the person other than me in the film has a meatier role."
Stating examples about how he has maintained this strategy from the very beginning of his career that saw him playing second lead to Aftab Shivdasani in Footpath, he goes on to add, "If I had thought on those lines, would I have done Murder considering it was supposed to be Mallika's film? When I do a film, I move ahead and let the audience decide whose film it was. I don't yell from the top of my voice that 'This is MY film'. The same holds good for Raaz - The Mystery Continues as well."
Some actors choose to do that though. They want the world to know that they have the most important part to play in a film. "Other actors may have different work priorities, I have my own. I work for the betterment of the character; the way the director wants me to play it. At the end of the day, a film is much bigger than the actor. And by the way, whenever I have a special appearance in the film, I haven't hidden it. There is no point being dishonest to your audience. In case of Kalyug, I had told people that I had a special appearance and it was basically a Kunal (Khemu) film", remembers Emraan Hashmi.
Which means he has a full fledged role in Raaz - The Mystery Continues even though all the romance seems to be reserved for Kangna and Adhyayan Suman? "Absolutely. I have a full blown character to enact in Raaz -TMC. As for who romances whom in the film, then well, watch the film", he winks before signing off.

Wishing Farhan Akhtar a very happy Birthday
In a world where even the proverbial 'jack of all trades' is fast becoming a rarity, here is a man who is not just a jack, but Master of all trades. He is none other than Bollywood's very own Boy Wonder Farhan Akhtar, who also happens to be our Birthday boy of the day!Born to celebrity parents (Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani), its only recently that Bollywood woke up to the magical powers of its latest 'It' boy! Even though, Farhan could have chosen to walk the silver path laid by his celebrity parents, he chose the 'hard working' way to success! That explains the reason as to why he started his career by working as an apprentice at the tender age of 17, which was followed up by doing multiple jobs of all shapes and sizes! True to the saying, 'Hard work always pays...but in its own sweet pace and space', Farhan took some time before he actually started 'calling the shots' (quite literally)! It's only after he got himself equipped with ample experience and expertise, this dude with an attitude made his writing and directorial debut with the mega smash hit flick Dil Chahta Hai, which escalated the careers of practically everyone associated with it. This was followed by yet another cracker of a movie Lakshya. All of these two films not just led Farhan to make his third 'Rocking film' which was aptly titled Rock On, but also gave him an opportunity to act and sing on screen as well. And it was this opportunity which gave India its very own multi-talented Superstar!

One look at Kajol who's atop a Mumbai taxi in a flaming red dress seems like giving an open challenge to fire. Some Mind blowing stuff this! Same goes for the oooh-so-haute looking Deepika Padukone, who seems to be all set to slain someone with her (designer) sword. Riteish, who has been carrying the missing tag in Bollywood, looks awesomely striking with his Beatles-inspired sixties' black and white look. Must admit, after this snap-shot, even the non-Riteish fans will turn into his devotees! We are at a staggering loss of words when it comes to describe the snap that has got the deadly Sanjay Dutt, who is on his dream possession, the gleaming red Ferrari with some killer minced look while at the wheels. If this isn't deadly enough, then nothing else in the world is!

Shah Rukh wraps up shoot for Vivek Vaswani's Dulha Mil Gaya
Vivek Vaswani is elated yet composed. His Dulha Mil Gaya has finally reached the finishing mark (well almost) with the biggest milestone being achieved i.e. portions featuring Shah Rukh Khan being wrapped up. No wonder, there is a renewed vigor in Vivek's voice as he announces the near-completion of his film."We have just finished principal shooting for the film after filming the last of the talkie portions and the climax. Only a song remains to be picturised and once Shah Rukh is back from Los Angeles in February, we would all come together again and take Dulha Mil Gaya to a close", says Vivek Vaswani whose association with Shah Rukh Khan dates back to Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman days. "Post 26/11, circumstances were so difficult for a film to be shot. Yet, it was because of Shah Rukh, Sushmita (Sen), Fardeen (Khan) and my entire crew who all came together to make it possible. They told me, 'Vivek, we will make it happen, you don't worry'. Everyone was completely supportive of Dulha Mil Gaya and didn't want any further delay in the film's shoot", Vivek gets emotional here. The song which remains to be picturised is a 'qawalli' that would be featuring Shah Rukh Khan along with Sushmita and Fardeen as well. "Meanwhile I will continue to utilize these couple of months that I have in hand. I have already sat on the film's edit for an entire last week and it is looking wonderful at it's 2.5 hours duration", informs Vivek while revealing his future plans, "Month of January would see some intense post production work happening. Everyone associated with Dulha Mil Gaya is supercharged and want to see it in theaters soon." So when would one see Dulha Mil Gaya hitting the screens? "I am looking at an April/May release though we also have to keep in mind the IPL. If the cricket mania strikes again during this time period, we may bring Dulha Mil Gaya a little later. Why to fiddle around with your product when you have painstakingly worked on practically each and every frame of your film? I am ready to wait for a couple of weeks extra rather than fool around with my film for an early release date", signs off Vivek.

Will 2008 mark triumph of common man on celluloid?
New Delhi, Dec 7 (IANS) As year 2008 draws to a close, all eyes are now on an employee of a state electricity board to ignite the box-office, a fete that a mythological superhero, an anti-hero, and even a rock star failed to do so far. Come Dec 12, superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be seen as commoner Surinder Sahni who works for Punjab Power Board in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi".
Going by the film’s tagline, it is a story of a common man who is happy in his mundane existence but undergoes an image makeover to win a small-time dance competition and the heart of his sweetheart.
Bollywood has been churning out mega-budget films with pioneering special effects in an attempt to make screen heroes all the more larger than life. “Drona”, “2050 Love Story”, “Kidnap”, “Yuvraaj” - all came and went but none left a lasting impact.
Though nearly all films are breaking even on account of the numerous revenue-making avenues, movie aficionados are still waiting for this year’s soul-stirring screen hero.
Akshay Kumar’s act as the bumbling Sikh-turned-goodhearted-don in “Singh Is Kinng” remains by far the most endearing act of the year and it is Shah Rukh’s turn to pull at audiences’ heartstrings.
“Rab Ne...”, slated for Friday release, is hoping to change that.
For its illustrious makers, the film’s grounding in a middle-to-lower middle class neighbourhood from the beginning to the end of the fable is a marked deviation from their usual fair.
Yash Raj Films has given some of Hindi cinema’s most remembered trendy, hip, well-heeled and cosmopolitan screen characters but seldom has it told the tale of a common man who regales in his humble means till the credits role.
Publicity for “Rab Ne...” has been largely curtailed in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai but the presence of King Khan, who is himself a symbol of the triumph of a middle-class boy-next-door coupled by the endearing music and promos, will hopefully get people back into cinema halls.
Shah Rukh says, “I truly believe that I bring hope to the middle class.”
With “Rab Ne...”, filmmaker Aditya Chopra has joined a growing number of believers who are reinventing the common man on the firmament of Hindi cinema.
Even as the Indian economy struggles to escape from getting sucked into the global meltdown and the traditionally chary and less flamboyant middle class is emerging as the dark horse, and advertisers, marketers and now filmmakers cannot ignore them, say trade observers.
The new wave of directors and filmmakers had figured this out long ago and Bollywood has been churning out a string of very refreshing movies that tell the tale of man on the street. The trend has pushed character actors who look nothing like the hero of yore into the centre-stage.
This week’s releases “Dil Kabaddi”, “Oh My God”, “Maharathi” and “Meerabai Not Out” are all helmed by directors and actors who would never have dreamt of a mainstream release till couple of years ago.
Most remarkably, Mumbai-based drama “Slumdog Millionaire” has been making waves in the US. The story of a slum dweller who wins the Indian version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” is winning at festival circuits and even drawing audiences beyond the traditional Bollywood fan base.
Remains to be seen if this story of a commoner can be the crossover film India has been pinning for.
