Any complaints, suggestions or compliments?
No, that word is money, not monkey, although that would have made a more fun story.
This MovieZen article is about Hrithik Roshan beating out the likes of Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar to possibly become the highest paid actor in Bollywood. And he says no! He said no to 300 million rupees, is he mad?
Nah, nothing freaky like that. Zayed Khan has been quiet for quite a while and the birth of his new nephew gave him an opportunity to talk to the press. He talks about his own kid Zidaan and the perspective that the little guy has brought into his life, mainly because now he’s not the baby in the family anymore.
“First my son Zidaan in January, now Hrithik and Susanne’s baby… Damn, I’m done being the baby of the family!”
“Every morning, I play for 45 minutes with Zidaan. It’s my way of connecting with God. It braces me to face the day. Zidaan has changed the course of my life and career. Just look at the films I was doing earlier and the line-up now. I guess patience pays. I’ve learnt the hard way that waiting for the right role is much better than doing the wrong films. I’m going to be 29 in two months. About time I found my bearings in life.”
That’s nice…Zayed is growing up. He talks about the new Roshan baby,
“He’s so cute. He has Hrithik’s blue-green eyes. I think the child will look more like Hrithik than Susanne. I’m so happy to see a new generation of kids coming up in our family. Hopefully, there will be more actors coming from the Khan family.”
Ahhh, no, please no! I beg of you, no more celebrity offspring…I can’t take it anymore! Make it stop!
Now I’m done with that rant…enjoy he rest of your evening!
You know, isn’t it messed up that Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are brand ambassadors for cell phones and computers and Dharmendra is the brand ambassador for desi ghee (um, not sure how to translate that perfectly…it’s like pure buttery oil, which by the way, kinda smells gross)?. Dharmendra was recently in New Delhi to promote the ghee and he didn’t come in his own car.
Not a smart move, because the people of New Delhi are a bit obsessive, and as soon as they caught a glimpse of the superstar, they mobbed him. Event organisers couldn’t find a car for a quick getaway and so Dharmendra chose the next best thing, an auto-rickshaw.
While Dharmendra didn’t comment on his new ride (I wonder how long it’s been since he’s been in a rickshaw), he does want to tell you how healthy ghee is.
“Pure ghee is never bad for health but these days it is difficult to find something pure,”
Why have pure ghee when you can use the week-old oil that McDonalds uses to fry it’s many fattening chips? That’s really healthy.
Ah, all that waiting is over and Hrithik Roshan is a father again!
This morning at 11:27 am India Time, Suzanne Roshan gave birth to another baby boy. Yay for them! I’d make some joke about India’s gender system (parents wanting boys rather than girls) but Hrithik Roshan did a good job with the Y-chromosomes and the Roshan name shall live on, preferably with a set of greeny-blue eyes.
The baby was born at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital today and weighed 3.3 kg. My brother weighed more when he was born…hah, the new Roshan is a weakling. He’s going to spend his school life getting beaten up by kids who’ll laugh at him for having a father that wears leather vests.
But no one has to worry about that just yet. Doctor’s report that mother and baby are doing well. Isn’t Hrehaan Roshan so cute? Above, you see Hrithik playing with him during the promo shooting of Krazzy 4.
Is this a hint for anyone who’s trying to steal Hrithik Roshan from Suzanne Roshan?
Well, that’s not going to happen. Hrithik is completely committed to seriously pregnant wife Suzanne that he did not go to the Zee Cine awards in London this weekend. True, he didn’t win anything…he wasn’t even nominated for anything, but let’s just pretend that he cares about his wife more than some award show.
Hrithik and Suzanne’s second baby is due any day now and Hrithik says,
“I’m just not stepping out of Mumbai for some time now. That’s why I had to say no to the Zee awards later this week in London. Right now I can’t focus on any work that takes me outside Mumbai.”
Jeez, it’s just a baby…give someone a video camera and go to London. Yep, I’m usually that insensitive. After all, it’s a Monday.
After all the ‘tamasha’ yesterday, where at some stage, it didn’t think like Krazzy 4 was going to make it to theatres, or that we wouldn’t see the film in it’s entirety (no Shah Rukh Khan, no Hrithik Roshan), guess what? It made it. And you know what that proves? Money wins…always.
Ram Sampath, the dude who’s jingle was converted into Krazzy 4’s title track ‘Break Free’ settled with the Roshan’s out of court, supposedly for 2 crore (20 million) rupees. I bet he still could have held out for more.
When asked to comment, Rakesh Roshan says,
“I can’t comment on this since it’s a subjudice matter.
All I can say for now is, the release of Krazzy 4 cannot be stalled now under any circumstance.All my prints have already gone to various centres.
We’re treating Krazzy like any of my directorial ventures. Krazzy 4 isn’t as big as Krrish. But it’s just as important for us. It isn’t a slapstick comedy. There’re no double-meaning dialogues. In fact the characters don’t think they’re being funny.”
There have been reports that while the Roshan’s knew that the song was from someone else, it was not deliberately plagiarized as first thought. Apparently, Sony gave them permission to use the song but Sony now says that the letter was issued by mistake. So basically, it’s Sony’s fault for this whole debacle.
Guys, this is a lesson to you all. Don’t steal anyone’s songs because the day before your movie is supposed to be released, he’ll sue you for copyright infringement and then you’ll have no idea what to do, pull the movie to change the prints or risk defying a court order and face jail. Actually, that’s unlikely to happen to you, unless you’re going to be a director. Then just let it be a warning…don’t end up in the same situation as the Roshan’s!
Rakesh Roshan must be seriously disturbed at the moment, because Krazzy 4 is coming out tomorrow and after the copyright infringement case reached the courts, the judge ruled in favour of Ram Sampath, a jingle producer who claims that the tune of the “Break Free” song (performed by both Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan) was ripped off from a tune he composed for a cellphone ad.
The Roshan’s are desperate, their offers increasing hourly for permission to use the song, but the guy isn’t budging. Since film reels have already been sent overseas for international releases, Rakesh Roshan has a catastrophe on his hands, working out how to remove the songs before release.
And this guy’s lawyer is going to take them to the cleaners, he says that monetary compensation wasn’t enough, this was a battle of the big stars versus the small artistes.
“The SMS-s sent by Hrithik establish that they knew the music was not created by them. They have done this knowingly and deliberately.”
I honestly feel sorry for the Roshan’s. They’re facing a little stubborn man with a big greedy lawyer, not a good combination. True, they shouldn’t have copied the tune, but Ram Sampath seems to be looking for a huge amount before he let’s them go. It would be stupid if he insisted that the songs were removed, because I’m sure he won’t get as much as he would have if he had sold it.
Stay tuned, as news breaks.
Oh, and my MovieZen article about Shahid Kapoor and Aziz Mirza.
Why am I telling you this?
Well, apparently, some people did think they were fighting and competing, since they both did the same song in Krazzy 4.
Personally, I like Hrithik Roshan’s version of the song more, but I think that’s just because I’m tired of seeing a 42-year-old, father of two gyrating on the set. So I would rather see a 34-year-old, father of one ‘nach’ing on stage.
Rakesh Roshan has spoken out about the allegations that the Roshan’s and Shah Rukh Khan aren’t getting along…because Hrithik is afraid of Shah Rukh’s biceps, heehee.
“We know what the truth is.In fact I met Shah Rukh at an awards function the other day.
We both laughed over these reports. Maybe a section of the media thinks it knows better. But Shah Rukh, Hrithik and I are above these attempts to create a rift between us.
The fact of the matter is, it was Hrithik’s idea to approach Shah Rukh for the dance number. Why would he suddenly feel threatened by Shah Rukh?”
So basically, there is no problem. Which means this post is about…nothing? Man, philosphy doesn’t make much sense sometimes.
Another morning whare I don’t want to do anything. But being on campus, seeing everyone doing their assignments, inspires me. Inspires me to do as little as possible, heehee.
Ok, enough with the narcissistic reflections. Let’s talk Bollywood. This is the part where you jump in happiness and yell “yay!”. And then I laugh at you for doing that, because frankly, you look silly.
Anyways, the story today is that IPL cricket is totally being commercialised and I totally blame Shah Rukh Khan. He started it and now everyone else wants a celebrity to promote their team. The people of Mumbai, your team ambassador is Hrithik Roshan. Well, it could be worse, I guess.
A source from the team says,
“We have chosen Hrithik to be the face of our team and shoot for the IPL anthem because he has the right persona and attitude,”
And that attitude is the love of money? If it was that, then even I would be team ambassador. And I’d charge less than Hrithik…but on the other hand, no one will know who I am. They’ll just ask “Who’s that gorgeous girl in the video?” and I’ll be famous and marry Shahid Kapoor and then…wake up. Day-dreaming is fun.
And for the people in Bangalore, you get Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone as team ambassadors. What do they have to do with cricket? Does anyone honestly care?
And that’s post 1 for the day, be back later with more insanity.
Oh, and MovieZen post for today: Rakhi is delusional.
You know what sucks? Updating when you’re as sleepy as I am. If you hear any snoring during the post, don’t worry about it, it’s just me taking a little nap.
The first post today will revolve around Darsheel Safary (the Taare Zameen Par kid), his interview and me making fun of him. You’re probably wondering shouldn’t a grown-up (technically) be ashamed picking on a little kid? The answer is, no, I’m not.
So let’s see what the brat has to say:
Darsheel, you must be tired of all the praise.
No! In fact you’re the first guy to be asking me this.So how does it feel?
Nice, very nice. (chuckles).
Don’t you hate arrogant little kids?
What kind of response are you getting [to the movie]?
Everyone is saying, I’m amazing amazing amazing….
Hence the title of the post.
What are the friends in your building saying?
I don’t have any friends in my building.What about your friends in school?
Right now we’ve vacation. So I’m not in touch with my friends. I didn’t call them for the movie because they’re all gone here and there. I’ll ask them how they liked me when school reopens.
Read: No friends whatsoever.
Do you feel like a star?
Ummmmm….I think so. I had so much fun with my co-stars. You know what? (excitedly) At night after shooting was wrapped up I’d party with my co-stars Tanay Cheda and Sanchet Engineer (who play Darsheel’s best friend and brother, respectively).The other kids had to sleep at 9 pm. But the three of us partied till 3 am. Aamir Uncle used to get very angry the next morning.
An 11-year-old partying? With what, his teddy bear and a glass of chocolate milk? And hitting on all the hot preschool girls? Score!
How was it working with Aamir?
I had so much fun! He isn’t at all proud. He’s down-to-earth. He doesn’t behave like a big star.
Learn from him, kid.
So do you want to be an actor when you grow up?
I’ll decide when I grow up. Right now I don’t know whether I want to be an actor. Now I just want to study. No more movies for me. Half the day I’m doing my homework and going to school. But (his voice brightens) if I get an offer with Hrithik Roshan I’ll do it.You’re Hrithik’s fan?
I’m a HUGE Hrithik Roshan fan. I also like Shah Rukh and Aamir.And actresses?
Overall, I like Kareena Kapoor. But for acting I like Rani Mukherjee. And for expressions I like Aishwarya Rai.
Do I need any more reasons to hate him?
And how do you rate yourself?
Nice very nice. I liked myself. My 6-year old sister cried when she saw the teachers beating me up in the film.Your sister is a baby.
No she isn’t a baby!So are you.
(haughtily) I am not a baby, okay?
Whatever you say…baby. Yup, I’m petty like that.
