‘I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

2010-11-22T01:48:00.002+05:30

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way.
“I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I
respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday.
The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it.

“It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added.
Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
“If a generation follows me, they follow my movies and they want to emulate me…it feels good. But I really don’t take that seriously. I do not feel responsible for others (youth). I feel responsible to my work. Whatever I am doing is for myself, and because this is what I want to achieve, these are the goals that I have set…,” he said.

John to turn director soon…

2010-11-22T01:47:00.005+05:30

Having worked in more than 30 films in seven years, John Abraham says audiences have become more accepting of his understated, realistic style of acting. He also wants to wield the megaphone soon and is sure of doing a good job as a director.
“I have good friends around me who are directors and related stories writers. They are all willing to sit with me, help me and formulate screenplays. I have ideas and I want to become a director very soon and when I become one, I will be damn good at it,” John told in an interview.
“Probably, five-eight years down the line, I’ll direct a film. I’m just seven years old in the industry. I want to first just settle down properly and singularly prove myself in a big way and then I will get into direction,” added the actor who will turn 38 next month.
John has worked in all genres – from Oscar nominated period drama Water to comedies Garam Masala and Dostana to issue-based New York.
Explaining his evolution as an actor, he said: “After all these years, I think I’ve become very comfortable with the medium, but more than myself I’ve seen a change in the perception of the audience towards me.
“I’ve always been an understated actor. I’m not into over-projection. When I joined the industry, there was a section of the audience that felt I was too understated. Today the same audiences have a different perception and somehow that same style of acting is working for them now.
“I really haven’t changed. I’m following my director’s brief and I’m doing exactly that. But people’s perception has changed. The sense of reality has prevailed in the mind of the audience and I think that’s the change I have seen.”
His nerdy look in Jhootha Hi Sahi failed to set the cash registers ringing, but the Bollywood hunk has not given up. He is all set to play boy-next-door in a new film.
“I’ll be starting the film in March, which will be directed by Kapil Sharma, a first time director. He is the best chief assistant director we have in the country,” said John.
“The film is about just a regular guy who gets busted by all the women in his life. It’s about a guy who learns life through the women he is with – his mother, sister, his boss, his neighbour, his girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend. It’s just about this journey. It’s amazing.”
The final title of the film is yet to be decided. “Right now it’s called The Re-education of Ishaan Sabharwal. That’s a working title,” he said.
Currently, he is busy with director Nishikant Kamat and producer Vipul Shah’s Hindi remake of Tamil blockbuster Kaakha Kaakha. The action movie also stars Genelia D’Souza.
“I have already shot 20 per cent of the film. We shot for 25 days, we have another 40-45 days left and we are done. So we finish in January end,” said John.
Is there any movie on the anvil with his actress girlfriend Bipasha Basu? Both debuted together with Jism in 2003 and were also seen as a couple in Aetbaar and Madhoshi.
The couple was last seen together in 2007 film Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal.
“I don’t know, depends on whether we are offered a good script. Till then we are okay not doing work together. Anyway there is no public display of affection in our case. We are pretty much in our own worlds,” said the actor.

Looking stunning in a short black dress and matching stilletoes, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty said she would prefer to be a trend-setter than a trend-follower.

The actress was in the capital at Hotel Lalit to launch HP DreamScreen, an interactive, touchscreen digital device.
Shilpa, who is married to millionaire Raj Kundra, revealed that she is a very simple person.

Imran is not only mouthing dialogues and matching dance steps that we have seen SRK do and glide into the hearts of billions but Deepika is also trying to be like SRK in the film. She even has a dialogue in which she declares that she is like SRK. Curious, we called on Kunal to find out if he has switched sides. He says, “I know people are saying this because I’m Aamir’s friend. The film is about two people who grew up in the times of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Toh Pagal Hai and some of the memorable romances that SRK has given to the audiences.

The characters are inspired by his movies. The film is a tribute to SRK no doubt, but I hope that people are not reading too much between the lines. I am not trying to do a movie with SRK as of now. If the industry is gossiping that I’m trying to win SRK to my side with this movie, I haven’t met him in a long time now.”

So what was the cause for this delay? Obviously, the couple were trapped in traffic.

Surprising, considering that the event venue was just about half an hour away from their home.The organisers say that they kept updating the journos about this, but that didn’t stop them from walking out anyway.

Ranbir and I have a good equation says Deepika

2010-04-11T21:17:00.001+05:30

There is a lot of doubt in Bollywood over whether Deepika Padukone will ever star with Ranbir Kapoor in a film after their break-up.

Though, Deepika put all speculation to rest by telling that it she share a good chemistry with Ranbir. “Just because we haven’t done a commercial together doesn’t mean that we are never going to do a movie together. I still have a contract with the soft drink brand for four months and have shot a new campaign with them.

Earlier too, when I was doing the ad with him, Ranbir was paired with a new girl. So, I have not been replaced by anyone. The brand decides whom to take for their commercials, so there is nothing to read between the lines,” Deepika said.“Ranbir and I know where we stand today. We will never let good movies slip out of our hands. It’s just a issue of time that I act with him. We need the right movie to act together and it will happen. I have a good equation with Ranbir.” Deepika added.Deepika has a very diverse year ahead in terms of the projects she has taken up. Currently, she is learning Bengali for Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. “I mouth a lot of Bengali dialogues in the film.

Apart from speaking in Bengali, I will wear sarees like a Bengali woman. I will sport puff sleeve blouses,” Deepika said.“It takes a lot for a woman to go out on a date with a man. When I sit and watch a match with someone, people say I am dating him. If I go for dinner with someone else, people say I’m dating that person. I have a family who read all this and for a girl these reports of randomly becoming someone’s girlfriend one day and someone else’s the next day don’t go well,” Deepika concluded as she is concerned by the link-ups.

Sources close to couple state, John Abraham is known to have a Casanova image.Although earlier Bipasha didn’t bother about it much, it’s believed that off late, Bipasha Basu was getting more and more insecure about John’s playful image. To add to that, John’s pairing opposite Pakhi in Abbas Tyrewala’s ‘1-800-Love’ didn’t go very well with Bipasha.Reportedly, John and Pakhi became very close friends during the shoot.”

Earlier too during the making of Salaam-e-Ishq Vidya Balan and John came close to each other and Bipasha’s uncertainty reached it’s high. Though John somehow salvaged the situation. A common friend of Bipasha and John confirmed the development and said, “Yes, John and Bipasha have broken up.The differences between them were too much to handle for Bipasha who finally broke-up with John.
