Sajid Nadiadwala's KICK gets nominated at the ‘Taurus World Stunt Awards’.

Sajid Nadiadwala and Salman Khan’s KICK has been nominated at the ‘Taurus World Stunt Awards’.

Kick showcased Salman doing death defying, high octane action sequences. The scale of action in the film was humongous.

It was for the first time that drones were used in a Bollywood film to capture the huge action sequences. Large numbers of vehicles too were blown up.

For all these reasons, Kick has been nominated in the categories of Best High Work and Best Stunt Rigging at the Taurus World Stunt Awards.

We have seen Salman Khan doing the heroic action stunts for films prior to this but with Kick he outshone himself with the dynamism and the level of action at the same time seeming almost effortless.

It has been nominated along with other Hollywood films like 22 Jump Street and Transformers.

This just shows that the scale of action in Kick is at par with that of any Hollywood film.

It is a huge honour for the film and Sajid Nadiadwala is ecstatic that his directorial debut has received such high recognition.

Open letter from Vikram Bhatt to Emraan Hashmi.

It was after my film Ghulam released in June 1998 that I was shooting a television series for Pooja (Bhatt) called “Dhund”. We were almost wrapping the series shooting long hours at a bungalow on Pali Hill in the suburbs of Mumbai when Mukeshji (Mukesh Bhatt) got off the car with two young boys. He walked up to me with them in tow and said, ‘These are my nephews Mohit (Suri) and Emi (Emraan Hashmi). They want to assist you.” Never to say no to anyone who wanted to learn I asked them to hop on to the filmmaking bandwagon.

As the days went by I could see that Mohit worked hard and Emraan did not work at all. He took every excuse possible to escape the drudgery that came with being an assistant director. ‘This guy is never going to be a director”, I said to myself. The schedule ended and they disappeared.

I started filming Kasoor a fortnight after that and the boys were back on the set with me. I saw very little of Emraan but I am not the one to enforce any kind of attendance on my assistants so I did not really pester Emi and doggedly chase him down. I let him be. Soon he stopped coming.

We were shooting at Filmistan studios and I saw Emraan again. He had come to meet Bhattsaab, (Mahesh Bhatt). There is this huge make up room in Filmistan simply called Room number one and Bhattsaab generally read there while I shot. I went in to consult with him on a scene and I found Emraan sitting with him and having a very serious chat. As I entered the room Bhattsaab in his quintessential style shouted, “Hey, this guy wants to be a Hero. What do you think?” I remember mumbling some half baked “that is good kind of response” and getting out of the room as quickly as I entered. I also remember telling myself that if this chap pursued acting with the same passion that he pursued direction then God help him.

It was not going to be an easy ride for him. Well to be honest nothing is easy if Bhattsaab is involved.

Emraan’s first job as an actor was to be with Bhattsaab at all times. And believe me when I say that it is very difficult to do that. Raaz and the Ooty schedule, Emraan was there with Bhattsaab. He had to share the room with Bhattsaab which actually meant sleeping in the lounge of the suite on an uncomfortable couch and being woken up at odd hours by a man who sleeps very little. The poor chap was between dreams and a nightmare. He was being put through the fire for sure.

Finally the day came. Emraan was being launched and the film was Footpath. The location Mukesh Mills and his second shot was his first dialogue ever, “headlight off kar warna battery down ho jayegi toh Dhaka marne wala koi nahi milega”

First take, second, third…tenth…fifteenth. Bhattsaab sat in his car and left the set. It was looking like a bad decision. Emraan’s grandmother, a yesteryear actor and someone who was really happy to see Emraan take after her was there to see his shot, she was mortified. Take thirty and everyone was gone and so had Emraan’s spirit. He was a bundle of nerves. There was no point going on.

Mukeshji called me early the next day and asked me if I thought Emraan was going to deliver. Something told me that he would. That evening he did. He rocked the scene. A star was born.

Footpath did not do well though Emraan got a lot of praise for his performance in the film. Soon after Footpath I had some differences with Vishesh Films and I left the company. I did not work with Emraan for the next ten years. Though from afar I saw Emraan grow from strength to strength. From Murder to Gangster and Raaz 2 and then Jannat, he was belting the films out and the boy I knew to play hookie at the shoots was now the famous, “Serial Kisser”.

Relationships that have meant something deep are not just broken easily and I was back with Bhattsaab and Mukeshji. The film was Raaz 3 and this time the Hero was the star Emraan Hashmi. He was not the Emi I knew. He was the confident man who had many roles and many hits behind him.

Raaz 3 was not really his film and to be honest he did it more as a Vishesh Film enterprise and less as a project that excited him. He never even saw the finished film and I am guessing he felt slighted by the importance that Bipasha got in the film. I don’t really blame him. He did get his biggest hit though and Raaz 3 remains the highest grossing Indian horror film to date.

Mr. X was however going to test his mettle on and off the screen.

Januray 2014, three days before we were to start the principal photography of the film I was sitting with Bhattsaab in the office when he got the call from Emraan. His son Aayan had been diagnosed with Cancer, a tumor in his kidney. Everything fell apart around him, the least of all his film schedules. We pulled the set down that was put up for the schedule and Emraan took his son to Toronto. He got his treatment started and came back a month later to begin the film.

Filmalya studios and the first schedule of Mr X, we were filming the scene in which Emraan goes invisible in the film. He was screaming for the shot and he was screaming cause of the pain that he was supposed to portray but I saw through the 3D monitors the pain of the father who had just left his soon back in Toronto on a treatment that he hoped would save his life. I saw that day that only Emraan could be Mr X because he was Mr X in real life. He could take the pain and move on. He was the epitomy of bravery.

Through the making of the film he kept going back to Toronto. Aayan was getting better slowly and we discovered much to our joy that he was going to beat the cancer but as if the illness of his son was not enough Emraan had to face one box office reversal after another. His films missed the mark at the box office. Through it all I saw him hold it together. I saw him swing from ropes and say the Mr X dialogues and do the cool stuff in the face all adversity. He gave everything he had to the film.

Regardless of the fate of the film Emraan Hashmi stands tall in my eyes today. When I think back at Bhattsaab saying, “Hey this guy wants to be a Hero” I want to say today, “He is a Hero Sir, He is a real Hero.”

Wrestling is widely practiced in Turkey and it is their ancestral sport.

Dangal is based on the life of a wrestler and there are a lot of wrestling arenas in Turkey which makes it an appropriate destination for the shoot. The ambassador to Turkey also happens to be a huge fan of Aamir and so was very keen to meet him and present his case.

Since the invite has just come to Aamir, he will be forwarding it to the entire team and they will consider the location.

Aamir has worked a lot and gone through a physical transformation for the film. He has gained about 20 kgs for the same. There is a lot of buzz and excitement around the project and has become one of the most awaited films.

Spokesperson of the film confirms the news and adds, “Aamir Khan met with the Turkish ambassador and they have not just extended an invitation for Dangal to be shot there but also promised full support from the authorities throughout their schedule. However, the final call is yet to be taken.”

Anurag Kashyap brings alive Jaata Kahaan Hain Diwane in Bombay Velvet

Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma starrer Bombay Velvet's first song titled Fifi is out.

The song has Anushka lip-syncing to Geeta Dutt's iconic song Jaata Kahaan Hain Diwane from the Dev Anand starrer CID. The makers of the romantic-thriller Bombay Velvet have got the rights of the original song that was picturised on the legendary Waheeda Rehman. It has been re-versioned and has been picturised on Anushka Sharma who plays a 60s superstar singer named Rosie Noronha. In fact, it is by singing Jaata Kahaan Hain that Rosie gets noticed as a singer in a club and becomes the marquee performer at Johnny Balraj's (played Ranbir Kapoor) Bombay Velvet.

Says Anurag,"I have always loved the song and we used the film CID for the opium bar reference as well. Unfortunately the original song was never seen in the film as censors had cut it out of the film. We decided to use the song for our film, one for the time period, second it fits in perfectly with the opium den atmosphere and the bars visited by Naval officers at the time and RK's character comes there after the fight to drown his pain in the haze of opium."

Produced by Phantom Films and presented by Fox Star Studios, Bombay Velvet releases on May 15.

How people take advantage of his sexuality and then throw him away after use, the pain that he goes through as a result of this ordeal is the central focus of the film.

Mohit Marwah has been recently signed as the brand ambassador for the famous lifestyle brand, Provogue. With his striking personality, athletic physique and fresh appeal, the actor has been elected to be the face of brand's grooming products.
The new brand ambassador, Mohit, will be joining the league predecessors like Fardeen Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan who have endorsed the brand with equal panache and style in the past. “It’s great to be associated with a distinguished brand like Provogue.

"You know, there's always the possibility in this kind of Marvel madness that, you know, anything could happen, and a lot of these spin-offs are really like fan-driven, you know, kind of audience-driven, which is great because if the audience wants it, then you know that it's built in in a way and people are excited to see it," she explained when asked about the possibility of a standalone film.

"Not feeding them they're not into. So if the audience wants something like that and we could really, you know, carve out a great story for her that's a continuation of what we already know, then I'd be totally for it. I mean, she's definitely got -the material is there, you know, and I'm, you know, I'm always willing to slip the suit back on and power through it, you know, if people want to see it." she continues.

Well her fans definitely want a standalone Black Widow film, so Hollywood studios are you listening?

Broken Horses review by ANIZ FILMVALA

Broken Horses

  review by

ANIZ FILMVALA

*****

 Vidhu Vinod Chopra a name to beacon as years back he took Bollywood to next level with films like Parinda, 1942: A Love Story with such work of his that we have seen and admired for years and now when Mr.Chopra gets the lifetime break to showcase his uniqueness of making films in his own traditions and aptness, he gives us back his own nostalgias of Parinda and seems to be adamant to not come out of the age of his Parinda fixation.

A Director of his stature seriously need to go for a introspective to ascertain his previous achievement and the expectations what you and me have from him to enthrall us when he was offered this global platform to dwarf the work of the czars of Hollywood, but now when I see his most talked about work Broken Horses my expectations and the mighty passion which I have been seeing his work for this many years goes down the drain.

There is no new to write about this movie ‘Broken Horses’ as Mr.Chopra has packed old wine [Parinda] in new bottle, relationship between two brothers and is set against the drug war in the chaotic American-Mexican border. It is all about how wrong choices can destroy lives and everything one loves.

Deepika quote: Yes I did read a lot of books and had to spend hours going through various health and medical issues...symptoms, solutions,preventions etc...in fact I have gone through so many of them that I now know the basics of conditions like blood pressure, constipation etc​
