То, о чем мы твердили весь день, к вечеру нашло подтверждение в интервью. Парень слишком сексуален для этого мира... И нет ему достойной пары - приходится довольствоваться собой. В этом наверняка есть много плюсов - партнер всегда мммм.. под рукой, так сказать, желания всегда совпадают, темперамент совпадает - кароч, идеальная пара... У Шаха точно крышняк рвануло. Это разлагающее влияние Карана, который все время орет, что Шах - бог... он и правда в это поверил... Lo пишет:
цитата:
- Верно. Я хоть с чем могу в любовь сыграть.
Это тоже понравилось. Видать, он уже все перепробовал... что подворачивалось под руку :-) Ой, девочки, я вспомнила - Шах подолгу в ванне сидит, его жену это раздражает... представляю, чем он там занимается... фсе. Пошла в фантазии.

I am fantastically sexy: Shah Rukh
Rajeev Masand CNN-IBN Posted Sunday , August 06, 2006 at 01:19 Updated Monday , August 07, 2006 at 11:18 Email Print New Delhi: He is a star whose fan following is as large as that of Tom Cruise across the world. No wonder, he has no interest in moving to Hollywood and is happy doing movies right here in Mumbai. We are talking about the most popular actor in Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan.
Rajeev Masand: While shooting for Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna in New York, apparently there had been this incident when the shooting at the ‘Grand Central’, one of the busiest places in Manhattan had to be called off because of the massive crowd.
We heard that there were thousands of Asians who had assembled just to get a glimpse of you. They disrupted the shoot and Karan Johar said that you had to shoot elsewhere. Do incidents like these make you feel proud or is it just a hindrance?
Shah Rukh Khan: To be honest, they were all there to see Karan Johar and not any of the actors. Karan is a more popular figure in America and London than all of us put together.
Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan), Abhishek, and me were sidelined and people pushed us out of the way to see Karan.
As a hindrance, we could not shoot in Grand Central, which was to be an important part of the film. Grand Central was to play an important part in the film as its climax and lot of other portions were to be shot there. But unfortunately, the 'love of the Asians', did not allow that to happen.
We were told by the authorities that a lot of Hollywood films have been shot at the Grand Central. They said, "It's an Indian film, so we don’t expect much crowd. Hollywood biggies like Robert de niro, Falleni and Martin Scorsese have shot their films here."
But they were completely taken aback when they saw that shooting an Indian film had actually become an impossible task. They have higher security in America these days; they are little paranoid about these things.
In a certain sense it is a hindrance and we wished that we could have shot in Grand Central. But also, it's a happy feeling that you were in New York where the authorities did not even expect anyone to come and see an Indian film, and they were made to find out how popular Karan Johar and Indian cinema is, by the massive crowd.
Rajeev Masand: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, your new film is about marriage and infidelity.
Shah Rukh Khan: Which is one and the same thing.
Rajeev Masand: That’s an interesting thing to hear from you. Karan Johar- the director of the film says that he has seen even the happiest of marriages crumbling down with time.
He perhaps felt that long-lasting romance is vanishing from this world. He took this approach while scripting and making this film. What was your approach while performing your role in this film?
Shah Rukh Khan: I am completely uneducated in the matters of infidelity. I know nothing about infidelity. All the education I got about it was from Karan.
He has seen lot of relationships crumbling around him. He is someone that lot of people trust and talk with. His understanding of relationships is much higher than mine. So, I didn’t in fact prepare anything. I just went by what Karan told me.
Karan is an expert in matters of sex as well. So, I thought things should better be left to the hands of our ‘Dr Sablok’ Karan Johar.
I just asked him what to do and followed exactly what he said. People have different point of views about love. One can look at it as spiritual; someone might see it as an eternal thing, while another may find it just a waste of time.
Karan has made cinema based on different aspects of love. He began with a situation of 'eternal love' in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
He made Kal Ho Na Ho which has the sacrificial aspect of love, where one of protagonist dies and the other one takes on from there. I think there are many different takes on love. One of it can also be the institution of marriage, which people follow hastily. Sometimes you marry for all the wrong reasons.
I did a film called Dil To Pagal Hai which had a line that said, ‘having a loving friend is better than getting married to someone that you perhaps don’t even know completely’. So, the point of view that says ‘all that you need is someone you dementedly love’ is indeed very true.
The film KANK is all about that. It’s not about ‘love being a waste of time’ or ‘marriage is not good’. The essence of the film is one should not marry out of any other reason except love.
Rajeev Masand: One of your co-stars in the film is Amitabh Bachchan, with whom you have done a few films prior to this. Of course you must have heard of stories of a 'cold war' between the two of you. Besides there have been stories of you not being a part of Yash Raj films anymore because of Mr Bachchan. What is your take on that?
Shah Rukh Khan: We hate each other. Right now we are planning to hire assassins to kill each other. I have even decided to take on Yash Chopra by destroying the negatives of all his films. That is how bad it is.
My assassins are all over Mumbai and even outside Mr Bachchan’s house attempting to take over.

Перевод :-) Я фантастически сексуален: Шах Рук
Он - звезда, число фанатов которой не меньше, чем у Тома Круза. Ничего удивительного, что он не заинтересован в съемках в Голливде, и счастлив сниматься прямо в Мумбаи. Мы беседуем с самым популярным актером в индийском кино Шах Руком Кханом.
Р.М.: Во время съемок KANK, как говорят, был инцидент во время эпизода в ‘Grand Central’, одном из самых людных мест Манхеттена, когда съемки пришлось отменить из-за слишком большого скопления людей. По слухам, были тысячи выходцев из Азии, которые мечтали хотя-бы взглянуть на вас. Они сорвали съемку, и Каран Джохар сказал, что Вас будут снимать где-еще. Такие случаи для вас - годость, или всего лишь помеха?
ШРК: Если честно, они все пришли туда, чтобы увидеть Карана Джохара, а не какого-то актера. Каран более популярен в Америке и Лондоне, чем все мы вместе взятые. Амит-джи, Абишек и я были на стором плане, и люди отталкивали нас, чтобы посмотреть на Карана. Мы не могли не снимать на Grand Central, который является важной частью фильма. Grand Central играл важную роль как кульминация, и многие другие эпизоды тоже нужно было снимать там. Но к сожалению, "любовь Азиатов" не позволила этому случиться. Многие важные люди говорили нам, что многие Голливудские фильмы снимают на Grand Central. "Это Индийский фильм, так что вряд ли будет большая толпа. Голливудские знаменитости, как Роберт де Ниро, Феллини и Мартин Скорсезе снимали там свои фильмы." Но они были абсолютно шокированы, когда увидели, что съемки Индийского фильма стали буквально невыполнимым заданием. В Америке сейчас отличная охрана, они малость параноики по этому поводу. Конечно, это помеха, и мы хотели бы, чтобы нам удалось провести съемку на Grand Central. Но это и радостное чувство, что когда ты был в Нью-Йорке, где специалисты считали, что никто не придет посмотреть съемки инидийского фильма, и они поняли, как популярен Каран Джохар и индийское кино, под наплывом целой толпы.
Р.М.: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, ваш новый фильм о браке и измене. d infidelity.
ШРК: Что в принципе одно и то же.
Р.М.: Интересно слышать это от вас. Каран Джохар - режиссер фильма, говорит, что он видел, как даже самые счастливые браки распадаются со временем. Возможно, он понимает, что длительные романы - исчезающий вид в этом мире. Он это и держал в голове, создавая сценарий и снимая фильм. К чему вы стремились, снимаясь в этом фильме?
ШРК: Я совершенно необразован в вопросах неверности. Я ничего не знаю о измене. Все то, что я знаю - я узнал от Карана. Он видел множество распадающихся отношений. Он тот, кому доверяют многие люди, и они делятся с ним своими переживаниями. Его понимание отношений гораздо глубже, чем мое. Поэтому я, вообще-то, совершенно не готовился. Я просто делал то, что Каран говорил мне. Каран - также эксперт в вопросах секса. Поэтому я подумал, что лучше оставить все в руках нашего Доктора Саблока Карана Джохара. Я только спрашивал его, что делать и точно исполнял то, что он говорил. У людей разные взгляды на любовь. Кто-то думает о ней, как о духовном, кто-то - как о вечном, кто-то может находить ее просто тратой времени. Каран делает фильмы, основанные на различных аспектах любви. Он начал с "вечной любви" в Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. В Kal Ho Na Ho был жертвенный аспект любви, когда один из героев умирает, а другой получает что-то взамен. Я думаю, есть много разных аспектов любви. Одним из них может быть также брак, в который люди вступают в спешке. Иногда вы женитесь по неправильным причинам. Я делал фильм Dil To Pagal Hai, в которм были такие слова ‘иметь любимого друга лучше, чем жениться на ком-то, кого вы, возможно, даже не знаете до конца". Поэтому точка зрения, гласящая "Все, что вам надо - это кто-то, кого вы безумно любите", несомненно истинна. Фильм KANK обо всем этом. Он не о любви, которая лишь трата времени, или "брак не есть хорошо". Резюме фильма - что не следует жениться ни по одной другой причине, кроме любви.
Р.М.: Один из партнеров по фильму был Амитабх Баччан, с которвы сделали уже несколько фильмов до этого. Вы, конечно, слышали истории о холодной войне между вами. Кстати, были также разговоры, что вы больше не будете участвовать в фильмах компании Yash Raj films из-за мистера Баччана. Что вы думаете об этом?
ШРК: Мы ненавидим друг друга. Как раз сейчас мы планируем нанять убийц, чтобы расправиться друг с другом. Я также решил заставить Яша Чопру уничтожить все пленки всех его фильмов. Вот до чего дошло.

это продолжение интервью, что мы постили...
Rajeev Masand: So, do we assume that you are amused by all these stories?
Shah Rukh Khan: I was amused earlier, but I was never irritated or disturbed by it. Now, it’s not even amusing. These stories have become quite old and boring now.
I think newspapers and channels should just freshen up. They should try to bring up some fresh scandal stories, like me having an affair with Abhishek Bachchan. That would be more interesting.
Rajeev Masand: Since you have mentioned that, tell us what really irritates you? Were you amused or irritated when Anil Kapoor joked at an award function when asked, “Whom would you like to see in an Indian version of ‘Broke Back Mountain’ and he replied, "Shahrukh Khan and Karan Johar".
Shah Rukh Khan: Anil always has had an impeccable sense of humour. He is known for his sense of humour. So, I think it’s just an extension of that humour. He is a funny guy. I think he should start a stand-up comic act.
Rajeev Masand: As an actor and now a co-producer, do things like piracy and declining box office concerns you? What is it that relentlessly inspires you to make films?
Shah Rukh Khan: To be honest, none of this concerns me. There are certain things that are beyond your control, like the rains in Mumbai. Either you can keep on being concerned about them or you can do try doing something about them. I can do neither.
I can’t really stop the rains from happening; neither can I worry myself to death that it’s going to rain again. I will say again and again please do not support piracy, do not buy pirated CDs etc. But it keeps going on, that is the truth. Perhaps it is something that you cannot escape.
There will be dwindling box office results whenever the films are not good. There will be times during festivals, holidays etc when there will be a boom, like this year has been very good for the films.
Sometimes they say that the year has been bad, and then it catches up again. So, it is a business. It will go through its ups and downs.
Unfortunately or fortunately this business is written about a lot. So, you get to hear a lot about it. I’m sure that other businesses like steel and bamboo industry too goes through the same cycle.
I’m not really a financial analyst of some kind but I’m a creative producer. I’ve wanted to make films, sometimes on subjects that nobody else wants to make. My track record in the last five films illustrates that.
Rajeev Masand: What do you think about the movies that are being made in this country today? Especially with the multiplexes coming in and the different kind of films that are being allowed today perhaps could not have been made years ago?
Does plagiarism upsets you? Do you even realise how much are we relying upon borrowed stuff? Does that concerns you?
Shah Rukh Khan: No.
Rajeev Masand: So you just choose to distance yourself from that kind of material then?
Shah Rukh Khan: Not really. I too get inspired by a lot of Hollywood films and the action sequences that I see in foreign films.
I think I have done a few films, which might have been direct lift or take offs from climax of some foreign films. Like in Badshah there were some sequences inspired from a Jackie Chan film.
And it was my suggestion. So, I won’t deny that I haven’t stolen ideas. Though I would like to be a part of an original film, the bottom line is that you want a film to tell a story which people understand. There are only limited subjects. So, there are going to be overlap of story ideas.
What’s your take on relationships? Relationships are mini-lives. What we don’t expect is their impermanence..we don’t remember that relationships, like our lives, are not for keeps.
Are you scared of mortality? No, I’m not scared of dying. If I will miss my children here, I’ll meet my parents up there. But that’s not likely to happen soon..it’s said only the good die young, so I’m going to be around for at least 120 years.
Doesn’t your fluctuating health, because of your back problems, slow you down? Never, there’s a certain... ... oneness with my back, it never lets me down. My head and my heart know that nothing can stop me from having a great life, personal and professional. It’s like accepting the fact that I need spectacles to read.
What are you reading? The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, Hello magazine.
With the role of a mean, cynical husband in KANK, aren’t you killing off your persona of the lover boy? Yeah, as Raj and Rahul I ran after girls, grew a beard, spent all the time in the world with them and... in Mohabbatein I even loved a woman after her death. I’ve been a ghost who makes love (Paheli), I’ve remained celibate for 25 years in jail for a woman (Veer-Zaara). I’ve been the ultimate lover to the extent that women in the audience have felt, “Why can’t our husbands be like Shah Rukh Khan?”
In KANK, I’m not like that at all but I’m not mean enough either. In reality, I could perhaps leave my wives... plural because I’m a Muslim!... but I could never leave my children. That would kill me. In my performance, I’ve held myself back, like I can never use bad language or become physically abusive. I’ve been less stylised though I’ve used a grimacing of the mouth and chewed gum... these are an actor’s props, his crutches. Otherwise, I’ve played it real.
(Laughs) Come to think of it, I’ve made a career out of snatching other men’s women whether it’s in Koyla, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Yes Boss.
Immodestly, I can also say I’ve given birth to all the heroes who are playing negative guys. Having seen me every which way, the audience just expects to see me in an engrossing, entertaining film. I have no qualms about doing any role. It would be great to do a Brokeback Mountain produced by Anil Kapoor.
Is infidelity a big deal in this day and age? It isn’t. When so many people around me say that they are in love outside marriage, I can understand that. But I wouldn’t claim that I would do the same for the reasons they give me. It’s all about different strokes for different folks.
What does love mean? (Looks at me pitiably)
How many people are you in love with? With 22, simply because that sounds like a good number. There are different kinds of love, different manifestations. When I hug any of these 22, I feel excited, happy, turned-on or crushed..Geoid is the word for the shape of the earth. Similarly the word love describes love. You can fall in love with the right or the wrong person..which goes to show that love may not be blind but it’s short-sighted for sure.
When you fear losing someone that’s love. So whenever any of the 22 people I love are travelling by air, I say a prayer for them.
Okay, has the nature of relationships changed today? We are more permissive. We have lost out on the thrill of the first touch. Young boys and girls kiss too easily now..if love comes easy it doesn’t have enough value. In school I kept away from girls, I was into sports and stuff and found them too prissy. I fell in love with Gauri when I was 18. In fact, I’m still old-worldly in my belief that you must first fall in love and then get physical.
Nowadays though, couples find themselves sexually compatible and then believe they must be in love.
I just hope it’ll be the reversal of the process for my children in this fast-moving world. To be in love is to feel as if you’re flying in air... without the use of drugs or alchohol.
That sounds like a worried father speaking. Maybe. Everyone needs a high and I get it from knowing that I’m the sexiest actor alive without the use of any substances.
Sexiest? Yeah, check it out. Whether it’s in Lithuania, Russia, Poland, Germany or France, I’m called Sexomatic!

I wish I were Farah’ (хто б сомневался)
Reclusive film editor-turned-director Shirish Kunder wants to be as instinctive as his filmmaker wife
Subhash K Jha
You are known to be shy, reserved and reclusive. I’m a dreamer. So given a choice, I would prefer to be by myself and dream. Often, it’s misinterpreted as arrogance. Actually, I’m just spaced out.
Your directorial debut Jaaneman has generated a lot of curiosity. Jaaneman is a story which begins at a point where most love stories end. It’s a story narrated musically. I wanted to have my own distinctive narrative pattern. While writing this film, I came up with a unique visual technique and incorporated it in the screenplay. A glimpse of the film’s visual styling will be seen in the first teaser that will soon be on air. Like this one particular shot where Salman, Akshay and Preity are simultaneously in two different corners of New York and the camera travels all over the city to connect both the couples in one single shot.
As a film editor, were you able to economise on the narration and shoot precisely the way you wanted to? Definitely, as my knowledge and experience of being an editor came in handy. If it were not for that, I wouldn’t have been able to finish shooting this film.
Will you continue editing for other directors? As of now, I have no such plans. Of course, I will always edit Farah’s films. If I was content with the kind of films I was editing, I wouldn’t have bothered turning towards direction. It was this hunger to edit interesting stuff that tempted me to direct. Most of the times as an editor, I wasn’t editing, just doing damage control. But if something inspiring comes my way, I won’t let go of the opportunity.
Akshay, Salman and Preity are major stars. Did you choose them for their viability or according to the script. The viability, of course. Any script can be made with stars or with newcomers. Just that the scale of the film changes accordingly. While working with stars, you get a bigger budget to work on. But while working with lesser known stars, you get more dedicated time with the actors. Jaaneman could have been made either way.
Your film underwent several hiccups, postponements and deluge-driven setbacks. Were you intimidated by these unforeseen hurdles? Yes, very much. When such events occur, the entire morale of your team falls down. You have a tough time holding on. Most importantly, all these delays have put me in a mess. At such times, I wish I were still an editor. I did much better financially then. I bought my Mercedes when I was an editor. Now I’m on the verge of selling it.
How was it like to work with Gulzar saab who has written the lyrics for Jaaneman? I would like to work with Gulzar saab in all my films. I had written the film as a musical. So the songs in the film had to be extensions of the scenes and then merge into the next scene. Other then just writing poetic words, the songs also had to convey those particular scenes. Only Gulzar saab could have done it.
He talks about your peculiar shots. What does he mean? Normally, when editors turn directors, they are expected to use a lot of fast-paced cuts in their films. Instead I’ve shot long orchestrated sequences, where lights are used as cuts, as transitions, to accentuate a particular expression. Lights act as a major character in the film. It’s a new device of story telling. It’s an experiment. Either it can set a trend or be criticised. I’m waiting for the outcome.
How supportive has your wife Farah been? Farah is a very tolerant wife, especially, during all the nervous breakdowns I’ve had during the making of this film. If it were not for her, I would have quit everything long back.
What do you think of Farah as a filmmaker? What’s your opinion of Main Hoon Na? I met Farah during Main Hoon Na. So it will always be the most special experience. It’s much more than a film to me. She is an instinctive filmmaker. I keep on rehearsing and working on the same thing again and again. I wish I were Farah, then I would have enjoyed life much more.
How is marriage treating you? Farah and I are quite the opposite of each other in every possible way. But that’s the fun part. I get to be with someone who I can’t be. Fortunately, we both are not shooting our films simultaneously. So we do get to spend a lot of time together. What expectations do you have from Jaaneman? The film releases on Oct 20. I’m hoping to make a decent enough mark as a director, so I get to do my next film exactly the way I want to. There’s one particular idea that I’m very excited about. It’s an epic project, probably one of the biggest films to be made. ( ) I’ve even started to work on it, during one of these periods when our film got stalled. Then I got so involved in it, that I began to lose interest in Jaaneman. So I decided to put it on hold till I finished Jaaneman. Now I’ve resumed work on it again. And I am trying to put together a dream team again, like I said I’m a dreamer all the way.
• Farah is a very tolerant wife, especially, during all the nervous breakdowns I’ve had during the making of this film. If it were not for her, I would have quit everything long back
Your meteoric rise has surprised many but given your cool confidence you were obviously in doubt that you would make it to the ‘hit’ bracket. A Rs 81 lakh star today, how long do you think it’ll be before you start commanding Rs 5 crore? (Laughing) I’ve never judged my viability in terms of the money I take home but yes, there’s no denying that my popularity has doubled two-fold in the past year. The credit for that largely goes to films I’ve taken on and the people who’ve helped me on the way. Some of the roles I’ve accepted were risky but I consciously chose to take the path other actors fear to tread. And people have appreciated that. I’m not taking my success for granted though. Today I may be flying high but tomorrow I could be gone... Perhaps you’ve never taken your success for granted but aren’t the Bhatts taking you for granted by cajoling you to make a special appearance in Kalyug and now accepting a parallel lead in Gangster after being pencilled in for the title role? If you look at my graph you’ll realise that at no point have I turned down a film because I wasn’t offered the lead. In my first film, Footpath I had the option of doing the role played by Aftab (Shivdasani) but I felt Raghu’s character was more challenging and the gamble paid off for me. Murder was Mallika Sherawat’s film but it got me a fair share of popularity too. And Kalyug proved that I could shine even in a two-bit role. Even in Gangster though Shiney (Ahuja) has the title role, both Kangana and I pack powerful punches too. For me more than landing the lead role, it was always more important that my co-stars were as well appreciated because for your performance is to stand out, others have to be equally good, right?
So you don’t feel cheated by the Bhatts? Why should I? They were the ones who moulded me into a star and gave me a string of successful films. And it isn’t as if they’ve ever forced any role on me. When a script is brought to me I always have the prerogative to reject it. I had the choice to say “no” to Gangster. It was my decision, and mine alone, to do the film after Shiney was signed on. I’m not insecure about the fact that my co-star has the title role as long as there’s enough scope for me to perform too.
How was Seoul? Beautiful...Cold...Hard to shoot...But worth the experience. The script demanded a new location and we took the pains to venture into a country with a very limited Indian community and only a handful of tourists. A relatively unexplored country that’s magical on screen.
After working with the Bhatts for so long how difficult was it moving into the Mukta Arts camp? Everyday of shooting was a joy because everyone’s so professional. Subhash (Ghai) himself is very involved with the production even though he’s not directing Good Boy, Bad Boy himself. And you have the satisfaction of knowing that with the kind of production values he guarantees, the film will do complete justice to the script.
And you’re playing the... (Chuckling) Bad boy. It’s a unique story of campus life the likes of which we’ve never seen on the Hindi screen before. There are two kinds of guys in college—the studious nerds and the cool dudes who rule in the canteen. The distinction between the two is very definite but occasionally, as it happens in this film, the two guys who’re diametrically opposite to each other, become friends and together wipe out the deficiencies in each other.
Whenever Emraan’s been bad on screen he’s been really good. (Laughing) May be I have scored with these grey characters but I’d think that’s because the bad boys are a welcome change and always more watchable than the righteous, politically correct hero.
I’m not taking my success for granted. Today I may be flying high but tomorrow I could be gone... So is Emraan a good boy or a bad boy? (Grinning) A bit of both. Even as a kid thanks to my innocent face and infectious grin, I got away with a lot of naughty pranks. If the buzz is to be believed you’re tying the knot on December 14? The wedding will be sometime in December though we haven’t decided on the date yet. But I’m happy I’ve taken the decision. It’ll be the beginning of another new chapter in my life.
Aren’t you feeling more responsible already? (Chuckling) It takes a bit of time to get used to the fact that very soon I’ll no longer be single but Parveen and I have known each other for the last five years. So the only difference now will be that we will be sharing the same roof.
Rumour has it that your fiancee was really upset with your intimate scenes with Mallika in Murder. Does this mean that after marriage Emraan will never kiss on screen again? My fiancee has never pressurised me when it comes to work. She’s never told me what I can do and what I can’t. It’s my decision to refrain from kissing for a while but this doesn’t mean I’ll never do it again. If the script demands it and if it fits into the story, then sure, I’ll kiss even after marriage.
The Gangster score has caught on in a big way. What’s your favourite song? ‘Yaadein...’ We shot it here in Mumbai and then blended in the visuals we had shot in South Korea.
You have to your credit some very popular chart-toppers. If you had to dedicate a song to your fiancee which one would it be? ‘Tu hi meri shab hai...’ from Gangster. We both love the song.
Gangster is your third film with Anuraag Bose. How did it feel to have him back almost from the jaws of death? Anuraag is a star director. He should have been flying high after Murder but his illness brought his personal and professional life crashing down. But he’s strong and has come back with a bang. He’ll be a major player in the years to come, just wait and watch.
The trade’s very confident of Gangster. The credit for that goes to Anuraag. A film is a director’s medium and the way Anuraag works, he gives it not just his 100 per cent but 500 per cent.
Could you see yourself playing Mahesh Bhatt in Woh Lamhe? Yeah, more so since I’ve been working closely with him these last few years. Woh Lamhe was offered to me first but we couldn’t work out the dates.

Урмила про свой item-number в грядущем ремейке Sholay - отсюда>>
Urmila talks about Sholay item number
Dancing on screen super hit item number "Mehbooba..." from "Sholay" is going to be a challenge, says Urmila Matondkar, who pays a tribute to yesteryear dancing queen Helen in the remake of the 1970s blockbuster. "It's going to be exciting. 'Mehbooba...' is a song that I've danced to at parties and at discotheques. To do it on screen would be a challenging and groovy experience," said Urmila. She is contented with her films this year and looking forward to her forthcoming films - "Bas Ek Pal" and "Speed". However, rumours about her relationship with director Ram Gopal Varma upset her. "I think it's high time a part of the media stop rushing for news where there's none. At least a certain breed of makers and stars who have a mutual respect and who do productive work together should be exempted from gossipy scrutiny."
Q: There was a rumour that you will feature in Karan Johar's "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna"? A: Who wouldn't want to be in Karan's film? He's a very dear friend and he is such a warm soul, everyone thinks he's their best friend. I also happen to be one of his dear friends. He is such a wonderful warm and humble human being.
Q: You are paying a tribute to Helen by doing her "Mehbooba..." item for Ram Gopal Varma's "Sholay". A: It's going to be exciting. "Mehbooba..." is a song that I've danced to at parties and at discotheques. To do it on screen would be a challenging and groovy experience. Just sharing screen space with Mr. Bachchan would be exciting. Tributes such as this one, especially if you've been a movie buff all your life, are worthwhile. I remember I had a done a tribute to all the R.D. Burman tunes at a Sahara event and I was the only actress who was actually singing along the songs on stage, and dancing like the original actresses. I'm the happiest when I'm dancing. In fact I'm a happy person by nature, something that a lot of people cannot digest. At this stage in my career, all the world cannot be a stage. I've to be very choosy in what I do.
Q: So what makes you a happy person? A: I don't know. But journalists like to see unhappy situations in stars' lives. Sorry, I can't oblige.
Q: Another year gone by. What do you feel about it? A: It was an interesting year. It started with "Naina", which took a thumping opening. That surprised people. "Naina" had no star except me. But because of the bomb blasts in Delhi the same week "Jo Bole So Nihaal" and "Naina" got affected. People were too shaken up to come to the theatre. Then I had "Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara" where I had people from all walks of life coming forward to praise me. I stuck my neck out to do this film. As Shabana-ji said, it takes guts to do something where you're constantly pushing the envelope. When I read the script I knew it was Anupam's film, not mine. But I was impressed by the Gandhian theme and its relevance today. I learnt a lot from Anupam and director Jahnu Barua.
Q: How does the coming year look to you? A: Equally fulfilling. There's Harry Baweja-Vikram Bhatt's thriller. It's been titled "Speed". There's Onirban's "Bas Ek Pal". I'm with Sanjay Suri, Juhi Chawla and Rehaan Engineer. I like working with actors I haven't worked with before. I'll also be doing a film with Ram Gopal Varma with a new director Taufeeq. All I can tell you is that it is a very intense subject. And I'm definitely doing it.
Q: It's amazing how you haven't allowed your professional relationship with Varma to suffer in spite of all the unsavoury speculation. A: I really think it's really time for all of us to take a mature view of working relationships in the film industry. Just because two individuals work closely and well it doesn't mean their rapport should be subject to constant scrutiny. Likewise, actors should not allow unsavoury talk to colour their professionalism. I've said innumerable times if there's something worth doing together with Varma I've no problems doing it. We've done some brilliant work together in the past. And I've no intentions of lowering the bars for our collaboration. And those who keep harping on why I'm not working with Varma, let me remind them even when they were harping on us not working together we did "Ek Hasina Thi". It got me many best-actress nominations and did well enough at the box office although it was a song-less unconventional thriller. I think it's high time a part of the media stop rushing for news where there's none. At least a certain breed of makers and stars, who have a mutual respect and who do productive work together, should be exempted from gossipy scrutiny. I don't want to trivialise our collaboration by constantly defending it. But our next movie will definitely be a step forward for the two of us. He is a fine filmmaker. It would be stupid on my part to stop working with him just because of all the nonsense that's written. I treat all the idle gossip as a professional hazard.
Q: So what's the most precious gift you've received in life? A: The love that I got from my loved ones is way beyond anything I can describe. I don't think my life would be worth living without their love.
Q: What about the one love that we're all waiting to see in your life? A: I'm waiting for it too. That will have to wait for the time being. Getting married is a little far off right now. How about falling in love first?
Q: How about marriage first love later? A: For me that seems a little far-fetched. I never made plans for my career. I can't make any plans for marriage. When it will happen, it will happen. I've always lived my life with fierce honesty. I guess that quality will be seen in my choice for a soulmate also. Right now I'm comfortable in my space. I never peer anxiously at what others are doing. I think that's for losers.
After scaling new heights with "Krrish", Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan recently walked the ramp for the first time for sister-in-law Farah Khan.
"I was very self-conscious. But once I took my first step, I was okay. With everyone cheering me, it was quite a high. Unfortunately, I couldn't do enough rehearsals for the event because I was shooting for 'Dhoom 2'," said Hrithik.
"'Dhoom 2' is a welcome departure from my goody-goody image. That cool side of me finally surfaces. It features me as a very different me," Hrithik told IANS.
The actor says he is a big fan of Vishal Bharadwaj's cinema. "I'd like to do an adaptation and not a straightforward screen version of Shakespeare."
He is also planning a world tour for 2007 or 2008.
Excerpts:
You walked the ramp for Farah Khan's jewellery last week. That was my first ramp walk for my sister-in-law Farah. It was great fun. I had never walked the ramp before. But anything for Farah. She's one of the most selfless and generous people I know.
She's like the Mother Teresa of our family. She's headstrong. She'll fight for what she thinks is right. And she'll fight even harder for what she thinks is right for others. She carries around this happy positive vibe. Just the fact that she got half the heroes of Bollywood to walk the ramp in jewellery shows how much she is loved by everyone.
Were you self-conscious walking the ramp? Very. But once I took my first steps I was okay. With everyone cheering me, it was quite a high. Unfortunately, I couldn't do enough rehearsals for the event - I was shooting for "Dhoom 2" -- although they did have rehearsals.
So, when I actually went on the ramp I was pretty much in the dark until I saw the crowd. Only then did I realise what I had got myself into.
Why not a world tour to cash in on "Krrish"? Yeah, we're planning one. Some of my friends from the industry are planning a tour for 2007 or 2008. But not right away.
The teaser trailer of "Dhoom 2" has the nation in a grip. It's definitely going to take me to another world away from "Krrish". I've never been hired to do something like this before. I was waiting for this chance.
I'm very calm, composed and cool in "Dhoom 2". So far I've played the devoted brother, obedient son, obliging friend and faithful lover. "Dhoom 2" is a welcome departure from my goody-goody image. That cool side of me finally surfaces. "Dhoom 2" features me as a very different me.
Onirban wants to cast you as Hamlet? Hamlet! That's interesting. I'd love to hear what he has in mind. I'd like to do an adaptation and not a straightforward screen version of Shakespeare. "Hamlet" has been done so many times in America - but something like what Vishal Bharadwaj has done in "Omkara" is welcome. I'm a very big fan of Vishal's cinema. I really want to work with him.
Why are filmmakers afraid to approach you. Why do they think you and your dad are a hard team to break? That's ridiculous, yaar! Here is an actor whose second film after "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai" was directed by a film critic Khalid Mohamed in which I played the protagonist's brother.
Then I've gone on to do films with new directors like Arjun Sablok and Kunal Kohli. And now I'm doing a film with Zoya Akhtar, who is also a new director.
Zoya pairs you with Kareena Kapoor again. Yes, we haven't been seen together for a while. But we keep bumping into each other socially.
Do you think Kareena has evolved as an actor? She was already evolved when we started working together in Karan's "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham". I haven't seen her recent films. But I've heard good things about her in "Omkara".
Will there be awkwardness between the two of you? Why? Because of the rumours about us? I'd be awkward if there was any truth to the rumours. If there was even the smallest discomfort, why would we agree to work together again and that too with a new director? The last thing Zoya needs is a stressed lead pair.
Zoya will be your first female director? Yes. It'd be interesting. It's a completely different sensibility.

Интервью с девушкой Гангстера Канганой Ранаут - отсюда -->
The one-film-old GANGSTER girl, Kangana Ranaut is scaling heights. Her debut film won her accolades though she sure has a long way to go. She makes no bones about issues and believes in speaking her heart out. She talks about her most prized possessions, her views on pollution and her ideal man!
First date? (Giggles) Oh! That was at the age of 16. I went on a blind date in school and it turned out to be a real disaster, contrary to what I'd expected.
Happiest moment of your life? (Gushes) When my parents came down to Mumbai, we all had a blast and I felt complete like never before. So much so that I was close to tears. Also, once when I dined with a very close friend of mine. It was truly one of the happiest moments of my life.
Favourite food? Hyderabadi Biryani... I just drool over it!
Your take on black magic, superstitions and ghosts? (Laughs) I believe in God and so I also believe in ghosts. I guess they torture you if you don't worship them.
Your idea of an ideal man? My ideal guy has to be very sensitive. Sensitivity towards others is the most important quality that attracts me to a guy. Also a good personality is a must.
Beauty or brains? (Laughs) Both are equally important so I'd choose both.
Last book that you read? The Tropical Spa: Asian Secrets of Health, Beauty and Relaxation by Sophie Benge.
Most prized possession? I have a photograph of Durga Mata ever since I left my house. It was always with me wherever I went so it's very close to my heart.
Do u believe in rebirth? No, I don't blindly believe in things.
What's your take on pollution and environment? People should not litter on the roads, and stop using plastic bags.
What is your idea of social work? I think we should help the under privileged, small kids and physically challenged people in whatever little way we can.
Most cherished moments of your school or college days? Too many actually. I've always been an extrovert, I've participated in debates and elocutions and been a basket ball player in school.
If you could change 1 thing about India, what would it be and why? I want India to be really beautiful. I would wanna change many things right from the roads to pollution etc.
What is sense of humour to you? I think not everyone has a great sense of humour. Humour is something that comes naturally to a few people. You just cannot fake it and try to be funny.
Favourite quote/mantra? I strongly believe that if you have that burning desire and passion to learn, you can learn anything and everything under the sun.
Spirituality to you means? I meditate and believe in the super natural power that governs all of us.
Last time you took a cab? Some eight nine months back in Mumbai.
Last time you went to the sabzi mandi? (Chuckles) Oh! Just one month back. I love to cook and bargain.
Last time you cooked? I'd love to but I've just been shooting round the clock.
Last time you cried? I don't remember but I break into tears very easily.
Last time you fought with someone? Just a few days back though it was a small argument.
Turn on? Sensitivity and an appealing personality again!
Turn off? People who brag a lot and try to be someone they are not.
Your strength? (Can't stop laughing) I guess the number of neurons in my brain
Your weakness? I just can't resist good food. I immediately give in the temptation.

“Whenever I think something is very easy, I mess it up. If something is so easy that I don’t have to work at all, I don’t enjoy it” Kangana Ranaut By IndiaFM News Bureau, September 4, 2006 - 04:20 IST
She impressed us all with her portrayal of a disturbed alcoholic in Mahesh Bhatt’s Gangster. Now Kangana Ranaut has a number of biggies, like a three movie deal with UTV, in her kitty. She is all set to enact the character of Parveen Babi in the forthcoming Woh Lamhe.
IndiaFM presents an exclusive tкte-а-tкte with the actress.
Firstly tell us something about your forthcoming film Woh Lamhe. Woh Lamhe is releasing on 28th September. The music is already out. It is mind blowing and doing very well. The songs have gotten a good response. It is loosely based on a very big actress of Bollywood, Parveen Babi. I think everyone is aware of that. It is basically a love story between a struggling director and a very famous actress. Shiney plays the director and I play the actress. This movie is about all those beautiful moments in life.
Was it difficult to enact the role of Parveen Babi? See, nothing is easy. Whenever I think something is very easy, I mess it up. For this role, I had always thought that it was difficult. I got such an intense role in Gangster. I knew that I would have to work very hard and I did. But I enjoy that. If something is so easy that I don’t have to work at all, I don’t enjoy it.
Apart from Parveen Babi’s life, is it also inspired from Mahesh Bhatt’s Arth? That’s not true. Everything can be seen from a different perspective. This is just a love story between a director and actress. We have made Woh Lamhe from that perspective. It is not similar to Arth at all.
Shiney is your co-star again. Is he the same Shiney from Gangster or is he different? He’s the same Shiney. There is no reason for him to be different.
Is it true that you guys could not see eye to eye? That not true. Even if we had a fight, why would I tell you?
Shaad is making his debut in this film. Did you pick on him since you’re a senior? I’m also a newcomer and a learner. I don’t feel like a senior. The day I feel like a senior. I’ll start behaving like one. As of now, I don’t!
Pritam who did Gangster has scored once again for Woh Lamhe. The music of Gangster rocked. Tell us about the music of Woh Lamhe You must have heard the songs. The music is rocking. I think the songs of Woh Lamhe are four steps further than Gangster. The film has beautiful songs.
Have you moved out of the Bhatt camp? No I haven’t. They make such good and different films. One gets a lot of scope for performing in their films. And of course, they have great music. Their directors like Mohit Suri and Anurag Basu are so talented. I don’t have any reason to move out of the Bhatt camp. Vishesh Films has been like family to me.
Tell us about your three film deal with UTV. One will be directed by Anurag Basu. The directors for the other two have still not been decided. It could be David Dhawan or Madhur Bhandarkar. I haven’t got time to hear the scripts. I’ll go for whichever script I like.
Tell us about Metro. I have just started that with Anurag. It is a UTV film.
Are you also doing Anurag Kashyap’s No Smoking? I don’t want to talk about it before I sign it.
What is your ideal role? I don’t really get excited doing something, someone has already done before. Good scripts with challenging characters excite me more, rather than doing a Paro. The things that have already been done don’t excite me.
Who is your favorite from amongst all the old actresses? Waheeda Rehman, Meena Kumari and Madhubala! They had a different charm and beauty. I also like Hema Malini, Rekha and Parveen Babi. Every actress has something special about her.
Which is your all time favorite Hindi movie? Andaz Apna Apna! I can watch it any number of times!
Before Gangster, you had signed I Love You Boss. Tell us about that. I had signed it, but it could not get made. A lot of times, films in the industry are left incomplete. I left it within fifteen days of signing it, because of some problems.
Is it true that you didn’t want to work opposite Shatrughan Sinha? When I signed the film, Amitabh Bachchan was opposite me. After three months, when I was busy with Gangster, they approached me again. But then I was busy with Gangster.

очередное интервью с Караном - будет время, переведу. отсюда
Marry for the right reason: Karan Johar
Wednesday, August 30, 2006
Are you endorsing infidelity in 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna'(KANK)?
I must tell you a mother came up to me after seeing the film. She was very angry. 'My daughter recently got divorced. I took her out to make her happy with a Karan Johar film. But look at what you made her suffer! We wanted to go into another world. We didn't want to see our lives'. She was upset.
But I think I had hit home. I don't claim to be an expert on marriage or anything else. I'm not endorsing anything.KANK is my take on what happens when people marry for the wrong reason. The true foundation of an enduring marriage is tremendous love. If that love isn't there, things can go wrong any time in a marriage . That's what happens in Alvida. My characters behave in a particular way because they are my characters. You don't have to agree with what the characters do or say.
People are reacting vehemently to the Shah Rukh-Rani extra-marital affair.
Every married person sees a bit of him or herself in the characters. They're reacting to the characters. Alvida is like watching an experience rather than watching a film. Everyone wants to know why Rani doesn't love Abhishek's character. But she doesn't! That's it! I can show you dozens of marriages all over the world where the perfect spouse leaves the other marital partner cold. There're million of women who go on being miserable in passion-less marriages. I'm not telling those women to go out there and have an affair. But you don't need to be in a love-less marriage. That's what Alvida says. I don't think marriage gives any man or woman an identity. I've tremendous respect for women who haven't married because they haven't found the right partner rather that than being stuck in an unhappy marriage.
There's nothing worse than flogging a dead horse.
Surely there're obligations in a marriage that go beyond self-gratification?
I agree. But children shouldn't be made an excuse to keep a dead marriage going. Preity says , 'I'm not one of those who accept defeat in life by making children their weakness. I'm not that weak'. You cannot question why. That's the way these characters are.
But a Karan Johar film influences a large section of people.
And I haven't been irresponsible towards my audience. The message, if any, is marry for the right reason. And if you're in a miserable marriage you're wronging two people. Amitji says in the film, 'By carrying on an incomplete marriage you're denying love to yourself and your spouse.' Incomplete relationships are of no value to anyone. Are you trying to say one should continue in a miserable marriage? Doesn't every individual have the right to happiness. I'd love our women to become much more independent-minded and career-minded so that they could've a life of their own after a broken marriage. Yes, sometimes marriage takes place under parental pressure or because a person feels he or she's getting old. Please treat marriage as a venerable institution which you visit only when you're sure of yourself.
But Karan, you aren't married, so how do you know the dos and don'ts of marriages?
I'm not married. But I'm an observer of human relationships. And it's my right to use those observations as and how I wish. I know there will be various debates and discussions on KANK . And I welcome them. How many films make you think and talk about it long after? People are talking about my protagonists Dev, Maya, Rishi and Rhea as though they're neighbours. I'm overjoyed at the level of participation that the film has provoked. I'm so happy I've a job that can touch people. You can look at my take on marriage positively or negatively. The characters have their own point of view. Rani's father-in-law wants her to leave. Shah Rukh's mother wants to stay with his wife even though the wife throws Shah Rukh out. There's poise dignity and class in all the characters.
Rani's character has no motivation for leaving her husband.
Hers is the toughest role. She rebuffs a loving husband. But her character Maya feels maternal towards Rishi . She marries for the wrong reason. Alvida is a film about very unhappy characters. The ones who do wrong feeling more unhappy than the ones who are wronged.
I see a lot of Yash Chopra's 'Silsila' in KANK...
Where? Not consciously. I love Silsila. It's a super take on the cult of infidelity. But I think Alvida tells its own story. My admiration for Silsila may have subsconsciously crept into the film.
What was the need for Kajol, Arjun Rampal, John Abraham and Riteish Deshmukh(who was finally cut out)?
Kajol is my lucky mascot. Arjun is an important character . He was someone Preity's character could've settled down with after her failed marriage. But she chose not to. John was a fun thing. Why not have a good-looking deejay? You can't get anyone cooler for the job. As for Riteish there was a whole chunk with Rani in play school which had to be cut off. Riteish had one scene with her. Stars are important to a film. But you must understand I took a big risk by casting these stars against their images. Earlier I made good-looking films with white characters. Now it's good-looking with grey characters. Both Shah Rukh and Rani are flawed protagonists.
Why cast Shah Rukh as a cynical and bitter man?
He's unhappy because of his failures. When I projected him as the ebullient Rahul and Aman in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kal Ho Na Ho everyone said he needs a change of image. I'm going to get very upset if now they people complain about his change of image. What do you want me to do? I think Shah Rukh gives one of his best performances in Alvida. He plays a grey complexed character and he has pulled it off with absolute conviction.
What's the deal with Mr Bachchan?
Abhishek's father in the film is a flamboyant character. And who better equipped than Mr Bachchan to play him? He'll be called 'Sexy Sam' for a long time. He trusted that I'd handle his raunchy role with a certain class and dignity. Of course Amitji is full of class and dignity. Mr Bachchan at 64 rocks. Why do we have to show him as humble patriarch or a retired don? In real life he wears the coolest clothes and plays the coolest music. 'Alvida' taps his cool side. If at 64 if I show even a jot of his zest I'd be blessed.
Were you prepared to open up a pandora's box?
I did anticipate it. People say I've shown a mirror. And no one likes a mirror image. I know many Devs, Mayas, Rishis and Rheas and Sexy Sams. Each is a work of fiction but they're based on real life.
Thirty percent of the audience is shocked. But seventy percent identifies with the characters. It's too early to predict where it'll go . The trade thinks it's an urban film. But human emotions are universal. I hope it cuts across. This time I've given no candy-floss. It's more like a slap on the face.
Can you ever go back to candyfloss?
I can't! I've matured. I've changed. At 25 I made 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' because I felt mushy. At 29 I did 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' because I felt reverent towards my parents. At 31 when I wrote 'Kal Ho Na Ho' it was a manifestation of my fear of death. I felt I was going to lose someone dear, and I did (father Yash Johar). At 34 I'm a quiet silent observer. That's why I've made KANK.

Перевод: Я не могу! Я повзрослел. Я изменился. В 25 я создал "KKHH", потому что был эмоциональным. В 29 я создал KKKG, поскольку испытывал благоговение перед родителями. В 31, когда я писал KHNH, это было выражение моего страха смерти. Я чувствовал, что скоро потеряю кого-то из близких - и я потерял (отца). В 34 я тихий молчаливый наблюдатель. Вот почему я сделал KANK.
Так чта не ждите от Карана повторения его старых фильмов... остается надеяться, что он влюбится в кого-нибудь и чего-нибудь наваяет :-)
Вот меня еще интересует, посмотревшие - скажите, это правда какое-то тонкое глубокое произведение по сюжету - мне интересно, все так прям "Ах, Каран ведь не женат, откуда у него такое точное знание брака???" То, что я читала про фильм - ничего супер-глубокого не проассоциировалось...

никого он не вожделеет..шмешно чесслово, если он никого не желает, но в тоже время " у меня секс прям изнутри прет, это вам не паренек с плаката, тут покруче кое-что", это определенно настораживает 
В этом наверняка есть много плюсов - партнер всегда мммм.. под рукой, так сказать, желания всегда совпадают, темперамент совпадает - кароч, идеальная пара... 
) скинула ссылочку на видео этого разговора с Шахом. Текст помещаю сюда, будет время - переведу... Практически в продолжение темы.
