Anurag Basu these days is hunting for an international actress for actor Hrithik Roshan after Penelope Cruz was found to be unsuitable! Apparently Cruz, who looks slightly older than Hrithik, was dropped from the project and Hollywood Latino actress Barbara Mori was chosen instead.A source close to the Roshans says, "The Roshans and Anurag Basu were looking for someone with a truly international look, but of Indian origin. Since the character in question is a dancer, she must be proficient in Latin-American dance forms like salsa. They have finally zeroed down on Kangana Ranaut and Barbara Mori."

Aamir Talks About Adapting Mahabharata
2008-03-06 09:20:00
Aamir Khan is taking a breather after Taare Zameen Par and is only shooting for Ghajnii these days. However the actor finally broke his silence on the Mahabharata project he was rumored to be doing.“The idea interests me greatly, for if India is to ever entertain the world on a scale when you can say, iske aage aur kuch nahin, it’s the ultimate, it has to be the Mahabharata. That would be one definitive thing India could give to world cinema. It has the potential to be the baap of Lord Of The Rings!”

Sarkar Raj Ready Fore Release- Ram Gopal Varma
2008-03-03 09:19:00
With Sarkar Raj Ram Gopal Varama hopes to salvage his reputation as a director after the abomination that was RGV’s Sholay. Here is a recent interview of the director who is visibly excited about the film which stars Abhishek, Amitabh and Aishwarya Bachchan.Do you feel Sarkar Raj has gone beyond Sarkar?In terms of scale, scope and span, it goes far beyond Sarkar. Also, it is my first film with a socio-political subtext and it’s character-driven. If you take the Godfather trilogy, they’re all character dramas. Sarkar Raj isn’t exactly a sequel to Sarkar in the sense that it doesn’t take off right away from where the first movie trails off.So how would you describe it?Sarkar Raj takes us into another episode in the adventures of the Nagare family’s life. The plot and issues involved make this a far bigger film.Do the Big B and Abhishek have more scenes together?I wouldn’t say more scenes, I’d say there’re more shades to  their...

A week after his epic period film Jodhaa Akbar checked into the theatres, filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker spoke to Anuradha SenGupta on the making of the film, the controversies surrounding it and what is it like being Ashutosh Gowariker, the auteur.Anuradha SenGupta: What is your take on the public reaction on Jodhaa Akbar so far? Are people saying better than Swades but not quite Lagaan? Ashutosh Gowariker: No in fact they are liking it more than Lagaan and Swades. And I can see why because they are liking the romance and the love story aspect in the film. People are also liking the grandeur – the battle scenes, the elephant fight and the lavishness and scale of the film.Anuradha SenGupta: We have been hearing about the protests against the film. Some people are saying that there are certain inaccuracies in the film and it revolves around the fact that Jodhaa is not Akbar’s wife but his daughter-in-law according to their interpretation of history.

NY Times Movie Review of Jodhaa Akbar
2008-02-19 17:58:00
NY Times reviews the epical Jodhaa Akbar and finds the lead pair “wooden”. Not only that but the reviewer also has a problem with the length of the film. While liking the actors may be entirely subjective, I never understood why the length of a Bollywood film is such an issue. Bollywood films have their own pacing and style hence following western cinematic norms to please the Non-Asian audience isn’t what our directors need to aspire for!Anyways here is the review for your reading and feel free to agree or disagree:They may not make ’em like they used to in Hollywood, but sometimes in India they still do. “Jodhaa Akbar,” a historical romance directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, is filmmaking on the grand scale of Cecil B. DeMille, with romance, stirring battles, a cast of thousands and enough elephants and gold to sink the Titanic.With so much attention focused on Islamic extremism, now seems an apt time for a movie about Akbar, the 16th-century Musli...

On the judgment day, judge saab announced that I’m not suffering from any illness.. and that I’m normal and capable of handling life on my own. I should be treated as a normal person. “I was given wrong medicine, I used to sleep 20 hours a day. After 19 days in the nursing home, I was shifted to Aamir’s bungalow where at least two bodyguards would be with me. I was under house arrest, I wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone.”How did you prove this in the court?On December 15, last ...

Hope this time Ashutosh Gowarikor achieves commercial success along with critical success.Here is one of the reviews of the movie: Let the cynics not disillusion you citing reasons of credibility, long runtime, Troy treatment references or the ancient jinx associated with historical.   Jodhaa   Akbar is a brilliant work of cinematic excellence. Period! No there’s more to the review. Just keep an adjective count hereon.Ashutosh Gowariker goes two more centuries back from his Lagaan era to deliver another magnificent masterpiece by weaving a gripping narrative around the Mughal Emperor Akbar and Rajput Princess Jodhaa. The beautifully recreated 15th Century period doesn’t give any scope at pointing fingers and perfectionist too might feel it pointless to debate on historical facts, ...
