Actually he had bulked up for his role in Guru, that expected him to put on 11 kgs and the increased weight wasn’t the inevitability of a married man. Now he’s losing weight to become the stud on-screen again. Nope, my face wasn’t straight when I wrote that.
Abhishek Bachchan says,
“I’ve lost more than half of the weight I had put on. Still working on losing more.
Actually putting on weight was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I was just eating day-in and day-out. You tend to get fed up of it. It was tough. But it was required for the role and therefore definitely worth it.”
Though I must say, it must be a fun job to have to put on weight…being an actor is like being a sumo wrestler…or Homer Simpson in that one episode when he wanted to get obese to be classified as disabled. Ah, that dude cracks me up. Homer, I mean, not Abhishek.
No wonder Priyanka Chopra plays his bodyguard in Drona…he’s gonna need some protection from the ladies throwing themselves at him. And no, that wasn’t written with a straight face either.
You’ll next see Priyanka Chopra in Love Story 2050 with Harman Baweja, then Drona with Abhishek Bachchan. Then don’t expect to see her for a while because she’ll be too busy improving herself as an actress rather than actually acting.
Priyanka is very happy with her acting life after Krrish and Don, so she gets to pick and choose her movies more, but as yet she hasn’t found one that really makes her want to do it. She wants roles that help her improve as an actress and since she isn’t getting any, she’ll just improve herself by taking dance and self-defense classes.
“Once I finish Harry Baweja’s Love Story 2050 and Drona, I have nothing on the plate. I’d much rather work on myself. I want to do Latin contemporary—salsa, jazz, whatever. That excites me. Any new skill would be an asset for me as an actress.”
After impressing with her martial art skills in Don, Drona will see her doing a whole new kind of fighting.
“This is a totally Indian skill for Drona. It’s a very Indian form of fighting. That’s all I can tell you on record. I’ve a professional trainer who has come down from a certain part of the country.”
Indian fighting? You mean we’ll get to see Priyanka punching away at some dude, she’ll hit him with an enormous “Wham!” and he’ll fly 50 metres away even though her hand didn’t make any contact? I love those scenes! Can’t wait!
Now we just wait, twiddle our thumbs and wait for it to come out in theaters. Stars Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan are already celebrating, attending a wrap party with their spouses and dancing the night away. Well, not really, Hrithik and Suzanne left early but Ash and Abhi had fun, Abhishek Bachchan even playing at being DJ.
A source says:
“Hrithik, Abhishek and Ash were seen making the best out of their dancing skills. Though Hrithik and Susanne left a bit early, Ash and Abhishek continued to have a great time. Abhishek took over as the DJ while Ash and the rest of the gang were seen dancing to the songs that he played.”
The movie is supposed to be released on 25th January 2008 but it may be a late with so many delays in production occurring. For the uninformed, the movie is about the alliance between the Mughal and Rajput empires, with the inter-religious arranged marriage of Emperor Akbar and princess Jodhabai. I love movies where arranged marriages work out…
Though Barbara Cartland may have stolen this plot for one of her books…huh? No, I don’t read crap like Barbara Cartland. Ah, just stop reading and watch the promo above.
Not Farhan Akhtar and not Abhishek Bachchan. Though those two seemed to have switched roles…Farhan’s a pretty decent director, having Dil Chahta Hai and Don (the remake) to his credit and we all know who Abhishek Bachchan is…the son of Amitabh Bachchan and pati-ji of Aishwarya Rai. Must be sad, being famous because of the people you’re related to…ok, ok, don’t flame me. Abhishek is very talented in his own right and he made it into the industry through his own hard work and talent. There, you happy?
But he wants to do something that his dad never did and is trying his hand at directing. And his leading man is Farhan Akhtar…cute. Though some people are mistaking his boy-bonding movie as a sequel to Dil Chahta Hai, though Farhan says that it isn’t.
“It isn’t really a sequel. The genre of the two films is the same. So the two films resemble one another in some details like the bonding among friends. But the story of Abhishek’s film is not an extension of my ‘Dil Chahta Hai’,”
This isn’t the first time Farhan’s acting, but he claims this is just something that he likes doing, but being a director is what really makes him happy. Abhi’s movie will also have Arjun Rampal in it (that means I’ll be watching it) and some VJs. Might take a while for us to see anything though, so don’t hold your breath.
