What do you do when you feel like directing a movie for the first time in your career? Well, you could try Baba Azmi’s method, who’s decided that he’s going to take advantage of his brother Javed Akhtar’s writing skills.
The cinematographer, also known as Shabana Azmi’s brother, has decided that he’s going to make his own movies.
I like Sharman Joshi, I liked him before he got kinda famous, but I really don’t see how this scenario makes sense. The actor has supposedly lost out on some prime roles because his asking price is too much. It’s reported that Sharman asks for 1.5 crore rupees per movie…that’s 15 million rupees.
But he denies it, saying:
“I wish I had the guts to ask for that kind of money. And I wish somebody would actually offer me that much. No. What I charge is nowhere near that amount. So I don’t know who’s spreading these rumours and for what purpose.”
“I didn’t do Dhamaal because I didn’t like the role that was offered to me. As for Gol Mal Returns I’d have loved to do it. But my dates were clashing with another project. If money was an issue how am I doing another film to be directed by Neeraj Vora for the same banner (Asthvinayak)?”
“The industry conveniently forgot that I started my career with a serious role as Shabana Azmi’s son in Vinay Shukla’s Godmother. They latched on to my comic roles in N Chandra’s Style and Excuse Me.
Not a problem. Because I enjoy comedy. My new release Dhol had me working with Priyadarshan for the first time. He’s such a genius. I’ve learnt a lot about comic timing from him. My co-stars in Dhol were friends. So there was no attempt at one-upmanship.
I can’t work in a tense competitive atmosphere. Of course Tusshar, Kunal Khemu, Rajpal Yadav and I were competitive in Dhol when the camera was on. But we were happy in our individual space.”
Um, long quote. Simple explanation for some media manipulation…and yeah.
Let’s blame the Taliban! Or Al Queda…America, you know where they are…fetch!
Nah, I’m joking. India should never be invaded…unless it’s by Pakistan (hehe, joke, again). Anyways, Manish Archarya had the fright of his life when he discovered that his new comedy film starring Shabana Azmi was sabotaged and the entire soundtrack was ruined three days before his film was supposed to hit theaters.
He says:
“I was on the way to Shabana’s house with my birthday gift for her when God decided to gift me with a jolt from the blue. I made a casual call to my assistants asking if the prints were in order. I was told the sound parameters were slightly off.
My antennae went up and I decided to check the prints myself before reaching Shabana’s. To my horror I discovered the sound to have been reduced to a flat mono-level as though it was recorded through an amateur departmental-store recording device.
By then I was in a state of utter panic.My release was three days away. There was no way I could release the film in that condition.”
“As if someone had deliberately done it. It couldn’t have happened accidently. It was a systematic scratch,”
“Where and how did this sabotage happen? “The initial recording was done at Raj Kamal studios. The sound was fine then. I had checked.Then it went to Prasad Studios…The rectification was done overnight at Q Lab. They opened all their doors for me and I sat with the sound engineers till 3 am in the morning. Otherwise we wouldn’t have made it into theatres on Friday.”
So, let’s review.
Suspects: People who hate Bollywood movies or films in general, people who don’t like Manish’s films, people who don’t like Shabana Azmi, some random guy who screwed up in the sound department but was too scared to some forward.
Motive: Want to stop Manish’s film, want to stop Shabana terrorizing the populance.
This would make more sense if it was a Rakhi or Kareena movie. Bad sabotage man, shame on you!
I’m not sure how much Shilpa Shetty has studied, but if anyone argues, now she can always flash her new doctorate degree at them. Like an FBI agent. Shilpa Shetty, pointless doctorate holder.
Leeds Metropolitan University is presenting Shilpa with an honorary doctorate degree for…well, I’m not sure. Being called a ‘Paki’? Then why the hell am I studying? Someone, please racially abuse me so I can become a doctor (that’s what that degree does, right?). My dad would be so pleased.
Shilpa is the youngest Bollywood actress to receive that honour, after stars like Yash Chopra, Amitabh Bachchan and Shabani Azmi.
