мне честно говоря не очень понравилось одно его интервью (я собсно, только одно и читала) - он мне показался каким-то самовлюбленным

Ну вот так всегда.. Знаешь, в чем-то верю, что он и может таким оказаться.
Ну да бог с ним, даже если в жизни мерзкий характер - пущай хоть как актер не портится, а то начнет сниматься во всякой фигне, да и растеряет весь талант...

Его новые проекты, как я понимаю:
Metro - с Шилпой и Kay Kay Menon, режиссер - Anurag Basu (кто и в Гангстере, Murder..), вроде драма про Мумбаи...
Zindaggi Rocks - с Сушкой, ежиссер - Tanuja Chandra, романтический мюзикл (с трудом представляю) - релиз уже 09.2006
Woh Lamhe - с Канганой, которая с ним в Гангстере, режиссер - Mohit Suri (которрый сделал Калиюг и Зехер), вродь драма... тоже релиз в сентябре.

“My wife is a good critic but she knows that I am critical about my self. So she is the kind of critic who eases things out for me” - Shiny Ahuja
By IndiaFM News Bureau, April 26, 2006 - 04:47 IST



Four films old and Shiny Ahuja has played some real interesting characters in some really offbeat films like Sins, Hazaron Khwaishein Aisi, Kal - Yesterday and Tomorrow. A tremendously talented Shiny reveals that he loves to get into the skin of the character. His passion for acting reflects in his choice of movies.

For his next movie, he is confident enough to portray the role of a Gangster. Shiny speaks to IndiaFM about Gangster and his future projects...

You did modeling before landing into Bollywood. Did you always want to be an actor?
I always wanted to act. I was doing theatre before I got into modeling. I came to Bombay to act. It wasn't that easy to get into films especially when you don't know anyone here. Fortunately I came with an acting background. I wasn't too confident that I would get modeling assignments. I started getting modeling assignments. Everyday was tough. But I think that's a part of life. If there is no challenge, there is no fun to it.

What do you think is the difference between theatre and films? Was it difficult to emote in front of a camera?
Actually it is. It has a wider audience. It's a medium through which you need to relate through the person. You have to remember the number of people inside the lens. I also built a relationship with my costars. That comes across on screen.

Tell us something about your experience in theatre. What was your favorite role?
I have been doing theatre, right from my school days. I won the Best actor in the whole of India when I was in college. That was really encouraging and it helped me get into my college. Otherwise my percentage was really bad! My dad wanted me to get into that college. I was good in sports. I used to play cricket, football and volleyball. Acting helped me initially.

According to Sudhir Mishra, you are one of the most promising actors he has ever met. Did it mean a lot to you?
Absolutely! Usually, people see your work and they comment on it. You obviously feel good! But coming from a person like Sudhir, it's great! I think he is one of the best directors in the industry. Such a statement coming from him, feels good.

In the initial stages of your career, you did films like Sins, Kal- Yesterday and Tomorrow etc. They are not regular commercial films. Was it a conscious decision?
I got a lot of offers from filmmakers. But I thought these were the most interesting roles. The characters were very challenging. I did them for myself. It's not to entertain anyone or to prove a point. I act because I enjoy doing that particular character. I love to go through the journey of a certain kind of human being. Every time I play the character, it helps me become another person. Now, such kind of roles are coming through commercial cinema as well.

Your characters have a lot of depth. Do you really meet such people or do you just think about them?
I don't do preparations as such, because I am not a method actor. Method is like a formula, especially when I get stuck. Usually, I build the graph in my mind. It becomes easy to portray the character on screen. The greatest thing is that God has made us all gray and not black or white. It's just the question of finding the key inside you and starting from the right point. You just have to go back and change the incident of your life. And when you change those incidents, life can take its turns. Destiny plays an important role in this. It's a fictitious thing in your mind. It's like living a real moment in unreal circumstances. I am playing a killer in the film. There are a lot of interesting aspects written in the script. I just had to find the trigger point from all of them. Once you have them in your mind, you just have to go with the flow.

Talking about Gangster, how much do you love guns?
My father was an army officer, so I have grown up with a lot of guns around me, all the time. I have always had a fascination for them.

Is it true that you were offered Dil Chahta Hai and you refused it?
I didn't refuse the film. Farhan decided to go for an established actor. Earlier he had planned to cast newcomers with Aamir and Saif. I was supposed to play Akshay's role.

Tell us something about the woman in your life.
If I start speaking about Anu, my wife, then I will go on and on. I will never stop talking! But she is not too comfortable with me talking about her! She has a completely different life from me. She has taken a conscious decision that she does not want to be a part of the lime light. I respect her decision. She has her own career. I am really proud of her. She is doing so well. I will continue to support her. She shuttles between Chennai and New York. She is not too comfortable with the whole idea of being in the limelight.

What does she feel about your career?
I feel that wherever I am today, it is because of her. She is really proud of me. In fact, she is a good critic but she knows that I am critical about my self. So she is the kind of critic who eases things out for me.

After winning so many awards for Promising new actor, are the expectations high?
Yes and no! Everybody looks at you in a certain way. Things around me have changed. And I say no because the award is for a film that I shot for a couple of years ago. If I have enjoyed what I have gained, I also have to concentrate on my work now. I hope that the show will go on.

You are playing a cameo in Fanaa. Tell us something about that.
Yes it's a special appearance and I am not allowed to talk about it. Yash Raj Films has a confidentiality policy.

Did you replace Sanjay Dutt in Gangster?
When I came into Gangster, there were so many articles on it. I read a lot of things. Everyone asked me if I had replaced someone or the other. But I was just offered a role and decided to do it, on the basis of the script, role, director and producer. I have no clue about Sanjay Dutt because a lot of people were considered for the role.

Tell us one thing about your character in Gangster that you enjoyed portraying.
There is a lot of anger in this man, which is probably there from his child hood. Some incident has taken place and he has held a lot of things inside him. The graph of the character is from being a bhai to gangster. There is a certain point in the film where his being is challenged. It shuffles when he realizes his entire conception. He can't decide whether he wants to hit or not. It's a fight between his ego and his passion for a woman. He is in a chaos in that one scene. That's what I like the most.

In Woh Lamhe you are apparently playing Mahesh Bhatt's character. Tell us about that.
I am playing a director in the film. The story of the film has been inspired by Parveen Babi and Mahesh Bhatt's life. I am not totally getting into his head because it's a portion from his life. There is a fictitious part as well. So I have to go with the script.

How was it working with Kangana?
I think she is pretty competent. Gangster is her first film and she has done pretty well. I wish her luck.

Tell us something about your next film Rokin How does it feel being directed by female directors?
It's fun to be directed by women directors. It's very different from Gangster and that's what I really like about Rokin. It will be my next release after Gangster. I am playing a cardiologist, in it.

Is it true that Anurag has already signed you for his next film?
Yes it's called Metro. It's a sweet love story based in a metropolitan. It's about the life that we guys lead here. It's a very interesting film. It is quite funny to dwell into the dark side of the metropolitan life as well.

What do you do when you are not shooting?
I love watching movies. I am also into bikes and cars. I like fast cars.

Is it true that Vidya Balan walked out of Sudhir Mishra's next and there are problems to find the right actor for it?
That's the directors take. If she doesn't want to do the film, then there's no way that she should be a part of it. I am sure Sudhir totally supports that. He has narrated the script to me and I think it's a brilliant role. I am not sure why Vidya made the decision because it is a brilliant role for any woman to play.

I am not sure why Vidya Balan walked out of Sudhir Mishra's film because it is a brilliant role for any woman to play. But if she doesn't want to do the film, then there's no way that she should be a part of it.
Are you a religious person? Which God do you believe in?
Yes I believe in God. I am a devotee of Lord Hanuman

Who is your favorite Hindi movie actor?
Shakti Kapoor and Dilip Kumar

Who is your favorite Hindi movie actress?
Meena Kumari

Are you a brand freak?
No

Where do you shop from?
Usually when I travel

Do you shop for yourself?
Yes

What colors do you like?
Green, Pink, Blue

Do you have a dream role?
There are so many. I like Seven. That's a very good role. Then I would like to do the film Legends of the Fall.

Кста, в фильмах он мне нра больше, чем на фотках из жизни - и правда, какая-то у него излишне самодовольная мордаха, вот как на фотке к статье...

О, дак он бывший модуль... тада все ясно.

Первое промо к Dhoom 2 пристегнут к Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna

Dhoom 2 promo with Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
By IndiaFM News Bureau, August 1, 2006 - 02:35 IST
There is always a buzz surrounding any forthcoming Yash Raj movie. And the production house sure knows how to capitalize on the buzz. Post Fanaa, all eyes are on Kabul Express and Dhoom 2. While the trailer, of Kabul Express was showcased with Fanaa, the audience is waiting to get a sneak peek into Dhoom 2. The cat’s out of the bag now. The promo of the eagerly awaited Dhoom 2 will be shown with Karan Johar’s Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Incidentally, Yash Raj Films is distributing Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, which will release on August 11. So for all those die hard, Dhoom fans, a sneak peek to the sequel is just around the corner.

“Regardless of what people say about Emraan that he is kissing king, he is a very nice human being and very much in love
By IndiaFM News Bureau, March 29, 2006 - 22:52 IST

She is just 19 years old and has no filmy background. She is one of those lucky newcomers who get to flag off their career in the Bhatt camp. Mukesh Bhatt has even gone forward and referred to her as the next Madhuri Dixit of Bollywood. That's actress Kangna Ranaut for you. Will she be the next big thing in Bollywood?

IndiaFM spoke to the bubbly girl who literally plunges into the Bollywood pool and is creating (news) waves for her underwater lovemaking scene with Emran Hashmi in her debut film Gangster.

Non filmy background
I am not from any filmy background family but yes, this profession has always fascinated me. I have come from a place called Manali where no one even thought of taking acting as a career. My Papa is a businessman and mom is a teacher but like I said earlier, from the beginning itself I was quite attracted towards acting. And was doing theatre in Delhi

No home work, no preparations at all
I would not like to reveal more about my role in Gangster now but it's one of the important characters in the movie. I have not done any homework for this role and it was difficult for me to play it too. It's not a conventional character from any Hindi film. It was quite a challenging role. I used to come blank on the sets. My co-stars and my director Anurag Basu helped me boost my confidence.

Eraan is quite diverse to his onscreen image
I am newcomer but both my co-stars, Emaraan Hashmi and Shiny Ahuja, never gave me that feeling. Both of them share a nice rapport with me. Emraan is quite diverse to his onscreen image. He is cool and quite. In fact his role in the movie is very different. Emran is fun to be with. While Shiny is quite mischievous, he loves to play pranks on others. He cannot sit quiet. Both are great co-stars to work with.

I used to come blank on sets
Last year in September, when I came to Mumbai Anurag spotted me at a coffee shop. He saw me with one of my friends. He asked me for an audition and I bagged the film. In spite of the fact that I am from a non film background and not even been into any acting school, he never make me feel that way. He did all the preparations for me. I used to come blank on the sets. I have a lot of trust on my director Anurag Basu. He is a man full of energy. He is an intelligent person and I enjoyed working with him

Underwater smooching scene with Emraan
Gangster is an emotional film and my character is quite interesting in the movie. The scene that has created quite a buzz is actually a parting scene of two lovers - a very sensitive moment. It's a love making scene and has been shot very aesthetically by director Anurag Basu. And regardless of what people say about Emraan that he is kissing king, he is a very nice human being and very much in love with his fiancй.

Theatre was my acting school
I was a science student and never ever thought of acting but yes modeling is something, which I had thought of. I had never been into any acting school before but yes I did theatre in Delhi. I learnt acting during my theatre days.

I would like to be choosy
I am not in hurry. I would not like to sign two to three movies at a time and load myself with work. I would prefer to be choosy; I want to do some quality work and at the same time I want to enjoy my life. I am just 19 years old, have just begun my career and very young to acknowledge Bollywood. This is just my beginning. I am getting offers but nothing has been finalized yet except Mahesh Bhatt's forthcoming film Woh Lamhe


Как раз про ту сцену, которой в фильме не было, похоже :-)

Амир Кхан, оказывается, хотел играть персонаж Саифа в Омкаре

Aamir wanted to play Saif's 'Langda Tyagi'!
By Abid, August 1, 2006 - 04:32 IST
Though Aamir Khan and director Vishal Bhardwaj could not work together in 'Mr. & Mrs Singh' due to "creative differences" (as per Vishal) , the choosy actor was very much interested in 'Omkara' .

According to the 'Omkara' director, "Aamir wanted to play the role of 'Langda Tyagi', which Saif Ali Khan has played. But you know how it is – there's a lot between wanting to play a role and actually playing it. Aamir was busy with his other projects."

However there is no animosity between Vishal and Aamir as is being speculated. Aamir recently attended the special screening of Omkara where he was seen chatting up with Bharadwaj.

Most people might know JP Dutta as a stern disciplinarian and demanding director. But few know that once off the sets, he is a fun-loving person who loves flying kites! In fact, the director displayed his love for the soaring sport in Jaipur recently, when he taught his lead actress, Aishwarya Rai, how to fly a kite.

Says Bindiya, JP Dutta's wife, and online producer of Umrao Jaan, "We were staying at the Jaipur Palace, and after the shoot was over we all went onto the terrace. It was Makar Sankranti and the sky was filled with hundreds of kites. JP got very nostalgic, remembering his childhood days when he would fly kites with his friends.

He told the cast and crew to come up and start flying kites too. Ash said she'd never flown a kite before. That's when JP told her that he'd teach her how."

Flying high

Sunil Shetty, who plays the dacoit Faiz Ali in Umrao Jaan, adds, "I'm a master kite flyer! In fact, I'm even really good at gilli danda, as I've been brought up on these games.

From tying the kanni to keeping a steady hand, is something I am at expert at. But I have to admit JP saab is the boss when it comes to flying kites. He not only taught Ash how to fly a kite, but everybody from the camera guys to the assistant directors had a blast that day.

Ash learnt from an expert and picked up very quickly. Even Abhishek knew how to fly a kite and joined us. JP saab and I didn't compete with each other, but instead had a blast cutting off other's kites - Ash's, Shabana's and Divya Dutta's. It was a lot of fun!" Sunil reminisces.

Travel bug

For Sunil, shooting for JP Dutta was like a picnic. Says Shetty, "He's extremely sporty and insists that every member of the cast and crew join him after shooting is over.

So we all dine together, play games and chat. He doesn't like us retiring to our rooms after shooting is over. Even while shooting for LOC, we would play cricket.

Bindiya is dangerous. She has the habit of getting sweets from the best of places and placing them in front of us so temptingly. So after every schedule of JP saab's film, we come away 10 kilos heavier!"

But the best part about Dutta's shooting, says Sunil, is "the fact that we get to visit the most exotic of locales and acquire a thorough knowledge of the region's culture, cuisine and people. I have travelled everywhere - from Leh to Ladakh and now Jaipur, Bikaner and the interiors of Rajasthan -thanks to JP saab. It is a tremendous experience. He spoils us."

What is Makar Sankranti?

According to Hindu legend, Bhishma Pitamaha was wounded during the war of Kurukshetra.

He had the power to choose the time of his death, so he lay on a bed of arrows for 26 days so that he could die on Makar Sankranti day (January 14).

On this day, when the sun begins its northward journey (the uttarayan) by entering the Makar Rashi (the Capricorn), the doors of heaven are kept open.

All divya atmas or sacred souls go to heaven and are spared the cycle of rebirth. Makar Sankranti is celebrated by flying kites in most parts of India, especially Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra.
