George Clooney comes out in praise of ‘Tomorrowland’ co-star Hugh Laurie….and almost accuses him of stealing!!??!!

From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.

Hugh Laurie, star of popular TV show ‘House’, plays a mad scientist and he has found and admirer in his co-star George Clooney!

Clooney said about Laurie, “Hugh’s got a very dry sense of humor and I’ve always really appreciated it. It was really fun to get to know him and spend time with him. It’s a real pleasure to be around somebody who does things because he wants to do them not because he has to. He‘s a fun guy but it’s also fun to have him there because he wants to be there.”

Laughing, Clooney adds, “He’s a first-rate, high-caliber man first of all and then a terrific actor, too, so there’s no downside to him except—I don’t want to say this aloud—he’s got a little kleptomania issue and it’s going to have to be addressed because I caught him coming out of my room with some of my belongings and I’d like them back.” he joked!!!

Hot Pursuit review by ANIZ FILMVALA

Hot Pursuit

review by

ANIZ FILMVALA

*****

Director: Anne Fletcher
Cast: Reese Witherspoon and Sofía Vergara.

Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara starrer “Hot Pursuit" is a letdown of a movie and ridicule to a female buddy comedy, some where the Director demonstrate women’s cannot be the best of buddies. Academy Award-winning Reese Witherspoon [Walk the Line] must be on a whirl of signing movies without being rapt about the upshot of her role as an asinine inept police officer, surely this role of her will be not for the predictable hall of fame in near future.
The worst part Vergara [one of People magazine's "50 most beautiful people"] horrifically underrates her sexual influence with a cliché role as just customary always being seen in all her films, fails to ignite the screen.    
 
Director Anne Fletcher [The Proposal] has one feather down from her cap, ostensibly after roping in Witherspoon and Vergara as principal producer of "Hot Pursuit” also did not create much of a firework in a women centric film.   
 
The chortle atmosphere is missing which normally keeps the audiences engaged as the run-of-the-mill situations that are not so very funnier. There are silly situation as a thorny shoot-out leaves Riva's [Vergara] husband Felipe [Vincent Laresca] in a pool of blood in no time as Cooper [Witherspoon] and her associate are dumbstruck by the mayhem and a insignificant chase of the dirty cops and drug dealers in the entire movie has been staged without any adrenaline and low key action pace. Strictly to be missed.

It was a mammoth task to plan the shoot but Zoya was really excited on this one.

While the planning and rehearsals took time the shooting of the song was done in less than five minutes.

They did a few rehearsals before they began shooting and once they started shooting everything fell into sync.

Even the cast was gung-ho about shooting in this style.

The song has turned out fantastic and the track is being loved.

However the audiences will be able to see the direction trick only in theatres. 

Says Zoya "We had to plan every detail before we started shooting for the song. There was a lot of planning and management to be looked into. The song would not be possible without Bosco Caesar and Carlos my DOP"

She further adds "It was challenging but fun. There is a version of the song out and the feedback on it has been very positive and overwhelming. The audiences will get to see the entire song in the film."

​​​Shraddha Kapoor cancels her trip with friends due to work commitments

Shraddha Kapoor recently she planned a trip with friends to go explore the sea world in detail.

Shraddha is a licensed scuba diver. The young actor has gone scuba diving a number of times and absolutely loves the experience.

The ace actor was going to visit Micronesia with a group of friends to witness warship wrecks which have been there since World War 2.

Shraddha has been planning this trip since more than two months. There were special permissions and licenses required all of which took some time to come. There was a lot of to and fro and they finally got a date in April for the trip.

It was a 7 day trip and most of her bookings were in place.

However the date they got was then clashing with some of her work commitments. Shraddha had a chunk of dubbing for ABCD 2 to wrap up and also had some brand commitments come up.

Shraddha even started the prep for Rock On 2 for which she has extensive voice modulation classes every alternate day. The classes are necessary for her role and require continuity and practice so she thought it was best for her to cancel her trip.

So while her friends continued on the trip, Shraddha had to cancel her bookings. They sent her pictures all through out to tell her what she is missing upon.

Says Shraddha “I was really looking forward to this trip but I would feel guilty if I would have pushed my work. I will plan something soon."

Rishi Kapoor gets into the skin of his character

  Chintu no more! Rishi Kapoor gets into the skin of his character, literally, with an all new 85 year old man look for Divya Khosla Kumar's Sanam Re!!    

For the first time, one will see Rishi Kapoor donning a look of a 85- year old grandfather in Bhushan Kumar’s musical romantic Sanam Re directed by Divya Khosla Kumar. The dedicated actor use to be the first one to report on sets in order to literally get into the skin of his character. The actor and director went through more than 100 references to zero down on this look.

Speaking on his look, director Divya Khosla Kumar says, “Rishiji is essaying the role of an 85 year old man and this look has blown everyone away! The make up took close to 4-5 hours and he never complained even once. What enhances the look further is the attention to detail and nuances worked upon by Rishiji such as the body language, the expressions, he even picked out the character's spectacles himself from a market and that highlights his passion as an actor and commitment to the role."

The director adds, “Rishiji is a very dedicated actor and directing him has been one of the most memorable and learning experiences for me personally. It is clearly evident through his hard work and passion that the actor is called one of the superstars of our country.   He would report on sets before time, even in the freezing minus temperatures of Shimla where Sanam Re has been shot. He is extremely passionate about his craft and this is evident in his look for Sanam Re which has been researched extensively by both of us." 

Sanam Re has garnered positive buzz in the industry for its distinct vintage appeal which is very different from Divya Khosla Kumar's debut superhit, Yaariyan. Rishiji's avatar rockets it to one of the most awaited movies of 2016!

JIMMY & RAGHU PLAY ANTAGONISTS IN “VARTAK NAGAR – A Story Of Four Friends”

The gangster era of the 80’s is a principal layer in the upcoming film ‘Vartak Nagar’. The gangster played by Jimmy Shergill has a violent face off with the honest and upright mill union leader played by Raghu Ram.

Producer Amit Agarwal feels that the audience has not seen such a film in years. “Vartak Nagar is the story of four teenage boys set against the gangster era and the great Bombay mill strike of the 80s.” “Though I am based in Kolkata but I am happy teaming up with Kunal Kohli and debuting in Bollywood as a producer for this wonderful tale of friendship” says Amit.

Jimmy Shergill is upbeat about playing Bala Chavan, the local don. “I have never played a Maharashtrian don before. It was fun to play a character which is pure evil and also a bit disconcerting at times to play a character like Bala Chavan who knows neither fear nor remorse”

Raghu Ram identified with Kunwar Singh a lot more. “Kunwar is honest and upright. He is fighting for what is right and is willing to bend a few rules for the more universal good of the mill workers. I liked the gray shades. Kunwar Singh’s means may be debatable but he means well”.

Debutant Director Atul Taishete says  “There is something extremely fresh about the casting. Jimmy Shergill is a revelation and trust me, he will surprise the audience out of their wits and there’s something very honest about Raghu as he fits the part really well”.

‘Vartak Nagar is a joint production of Kunal Kohli Productions, Adarsh Telemedia and Dione Entertainment. The film is in the final stage of post production and is set to get a release this year.
