SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Another interview post because I'm just feeling too sick to update properly here. Akshaye Khanna hasn't been in the news for a while, possible because he's so boring, but since his new movie, Mere Baap Pehle Aap (My Father, You First) is coming out, the media wants to talk to him.

Q. What’s the most important part of this film? A. The most interesting part of the film was rebuking Paresh Rawal. Because, in my real life, I would never have chance to scream at my father. I think audience will have a great chance to watch a feel good movie after a long gap. You will certainly feel better with everything around you after watching the film. Q. Priyadarshan, Abbas Mastan and Anil Kapoor believe in your acting ability. Do you feel pressurized because of that? A. Not at all. Q. There was a somber relationship between father and son in Gandhi My Father and in Mere Baap Pehle Aap, the same relationship between a father and son is comic. Personally, which do you enjoy most? A. Actually, there is no special genre that I can enjoy personally. My job is the most important matter to me. I enjoy them while I face the camera. That’s all. Q. Getting little personal, how is your personal relationship with your father? A. My father is more friend than father to me. He is such a man who never imposes any of his decisions on anyone else; it may be his children or his wife. He accepts people from the core of his heart. Believe me; I have met more than thousand of my father’s friends. He is really a social being. Q. What’s the reason that you are still a bachelor? A. The answer is ‘freedom, freedom and only freedom’. I have no interest in marriage and I will never get married. I think I must not be answerable to anyone. I neither like to reply to anyone nor do I like to enquire anyone. Q. Please tell us about your forthcoming films. A. Along with Mere Baap Pehle Aap, there are films like Anil Kapoor’s Shortcut and an animated film Ab Dilli Door Nehi. I have dubbed for this film. It was a completely different experience from usual acting schedules.

And that's it, I'm done for today. Good night everyone, be back with more interesting news tomorrow. Hopefully the main one being that I'm not dying...I think I was having heart palpitations just now.

Or something that just makes you laugh at him. Farhan Akhtar's wife has opened a new hair salon (B'Blunt salon) which she got Hrithik Roshan to inaugurate. Hrithik's acted in Farhan's film Lakshya, though that was ages ago...I wonder how much he was paid to do to this. Farhan's wife Adhuna was the hairstylist in Farhan's Dil Chahta Hai and if anyone wants to look like Saif, Aamir or Akshaye, then you know where to go. Hrithik is quite enthusiastic about it all, and now that Jhodaa-Akbar's finished...

"I don't have a film that I am going to dive into next after Jodha Akbar. For my off period I am going to come back here and take a really wacko haircut,"

Are we supposed to be scared?

As the A-List of Bollywood flock to the premiere. Besides the cast of the movie, most of Bollywood's old families were there, including Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Akshaye Khanna, Kangana Ranaut, Diya Mirza, Lara Dutta, Sridevi, Boney Kapoor, Amisha Patel, Sushmita Sen, Soha Ali Khan and Siddharth. Guess who wasn't there? Obviously the cast of Om Shanti Om, who were a bit too busy getting ready for their own premiere. Too have a looksy as all the stars, click here. Awww, don't they all look pretty. It's like a wedding...without the yummy food and no one is getting screwed for life. Just joking...I love weddings. I'm not sure if I want to be the one getting married just yet though. The storyline...which wasn't particularly clear before sounds a bit Romeo and Juliet-esque to me. Like the star-crossed lovers and madness stemming from rejection. At least they didn't kill themselves...I hope they didn't do that. I hate sad movies. Fun fact: Saif and Kareena were holding on for dear life...and Shahid was there too.

Playing a bad actor? Wow, I wonder who should do the job? Arshad Warsi of course, he's a terrible actor! Ok, well, I'm joking, he's not, he's quite funny. But he's funnier on-screen because his jokes here are quite unfunny. Get a script-writer man! The funny-man will be acting in a new movie, a remake of some other movie and it will be called Shortcut. Get it, shortcut? Because the director is taking a shortcut by not making an original movie. Yes, I get puns.

"You see, in a film to be produced by Anil Kapoor I'm supposed to play a very very bad actor who becomes a very very big star." "It's a genuine dilemma. Am I capable of playing a bad actor. Can I even fake such a horrific circumstance? But jokes aside, I'm looking forward to this film because I team up with Akshaye Khanna again after Priyadarshan's Hulchal. Akshaye plays a film director. But my role is to die for. I play this super-sleazeball….cunning, corny and capable of going to any extent to get my way. On top of it all, my character is terrible at his job," "Playing a bad actor will be as tough for me as dancing badly. Believe it or nuts, Raj Kumar Hirani forced me to dance badly in the first Munnabhai film because my character was supposed to be rather clumsy. I guess if I managed to be convincing as a bad dancee I can swing the bad actor. But it'll require all my acting skills, ha!"

Haha Arshad, you're such a witty monkey.

But no-one knows who the Akshay is, whether it's married Akshay Kumar or un-married Akshaye Khanna. But I'd be surprised if it was either one of them, especially as another scandal wouldn't be the greatest thing for Akshay Kumar's career. If it an Akshay, it's probably Akshay Poopoohead, a complete non-entity actor who was a background dancer in some indie flick. And no, there is no Akshay Poopoohead, don't believe everything I say, people! My point is that Kangana Ranaut is, in all likelihood, dating a back-up dancer. Does anyone know? Does anyone care? Nope? Well, moving on then.

I never thought Akshaye Khanna could dance and except for his goofy cuteness (and by cuteness, I'm referring to his acting and not his looks, Bechara is starting to show his age), I didn't really see what Akshay could bring to Bollywood's song and dance sequences, but apparently Akshaye can dance.

He will be seen dancing with newcomer Urvashi Shrama in a sensual dance number in his upcoming music thriller "Naqaab". The comfort level between the pair was terrific and choreographer Raju Khan is overjoyed. He says Akshaye has a flexible body and so it was not so difficult for him to train to get the steps right.

This I have got to see, Akshaye dances almost as terribly as Abhishek! These guys are too tall and not particularly comfortable in their own skins, so speaks dance instructor Tigger
