Playing role of blind was difficult says Deepika Padukone

Bollywoodactress Deepika Padukone, who is essaying the character of a visually impaired girl in her upcoming film “Lafange Parindey” feels that this was the most challenging role of her acting career so far.

“To play a blind person when someone can see..to pretend to be blind despite having a vision…is really difficult. This is by far the most challenging role of my career,” Deepika Padukone told news reporters.

To get into the skin of Pinky Palkar, a dancer who is blind but ambitious and dances with roller skates on her feet, Deepika Padukone did some homework.

“I observed blind people… learnt how they react to surroundings… spent a lot of time with them. Also, scenes were rehearsed by being blindfolded and then re-rehearsed with eyes open to compare performances,” she said.

Pakistani Pop Star Ali Zafar Wants To Relocate To Mumbai… But Can He?

“Keep politics out of art and culture”, says Pakistani pop singer Ali Zafar, who arrived in Mumbai this month. He would like nothing better than to move to Mumbai and become a singing actor like Kishore Kumar. But would the current milieu of hostility allow him to make that move?

“Things have to get better between the two countries”, Ali says optimistically. “The sooner the better. The present hostility is unbearable. We from the entertainment industry in Pakistan are hard hit by the suspicion between the two countries.”

Ali Zafar is honest enough to admit there’s more scope for him to function in India than in Pakistan. “I’ll be honest. There are more avenues and prospects here. So if the God above and the politicians down on earth permit, I’d love to move to Mumbai. An artiste knows no bounds and boundaries. My first home is Lahore. But I’d like to make Mumbai my second home.”

Ali has a wife and a 3-month baby boy back home. “When I left home I kept looking back at my home and loved ones. I wish they could come with me.”

Ali expects his wife to join him in Mumbai later during his current trip to the city, his first after 26/11.

In the last 6–7 years he has been to Mumbai at least 20 times.

However, he was unable to return recently because of the current political scenario. “Things have changed. My last visit was before 26/11 and I remember how pleasant the mood was in Mumbai. I was free to move around the steeets of Mumbai. I cannot deny there’s tension between the two countries. Earlier aana jaana laga rehta tha. Initially, we artistes from Pakistan used to get multiple visas quite easily. Now it’s different. However, I feel singers and other artistes should be exempt from politics.”

Ali thinks it’s easy for him to incorporate singing into his acting because he uses a lot of acting expression on stage. “I wanted to do something different from what my colleagues from Pakistan do in India. I always thought my first acting experience would be something different and special. I’ve no leading lady in my first film Tere Bin Laden. I was determined that when I act for the first time I’d sing for myself and not sing for others on screen. When I met the director Abhishek Varma for Tere Bin Laden in Mumbai, I knew this was the project that I wanted to start my big-screen acting career with. I laughed so much when I heard the script. I was sure audiences would love it too.”

Being married doesn’t diminish Ali’s popularity. “On the contrary female fans trust married men more than unmarried male. Married men are considered stable.”

About being inspired by Kishore Kumar, Ali Zafar shoots off, “He’s my definite inspiration just as Kishore Kumar Saab was inspired by K.L. Saigal.”Publish Post

Ali is on the verge of signing new films in Mumbai and moving in to Mumbai. “I love the city. I want it to love me back as much as I do.”

Kareena goes against Saif

The size zero Kareena Kapoor will be back. Kareena who has gained some weight recently will again sweat out to get into size zero figure. Bebo has experienced several odd instances of rigorous work-out and dieting like collapsing on the set, dizziness and so on. All those incidents did not go well with Saif Ali Khan and he strictly restricted Bebo from going back to size zero. But the actress went against Saif’s wording and started working out rigorously for her next film opposite Imran Khan.

The film in question is Karan Johar’s ‘Short Term Shaadi’ which is an adaptation of Cameron Diaz-Ashton Kutcher starrer ‘What Happened in Vegas’. To match up to Imran Khan’s looks, Karan asked her not only to cut her size but also to short her hair.

Kareena’s decision upset her beau as she has signed the project against Saif’s decision.

Both Imran and Kareena are not reluctant to spill the beams. When asked about the project, Imran quips, "I’m not at liberty to discuss anything about the film right now.”.

Imran Khan as vampire Edward Cullen

Imran Khan tops the poll to play vampire Edward Cullen in the desi version of Twilight series. Actor Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen has won the heart of the millions. Now the Indian audience is keen to see Imran Khan as their desi Vampire. Fans find Imran’s complexion, hairstyle looks very similar to Robert Pattinson.

Imran Khan who is basking in the joy of ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ is aware of the Twilight mania but he is not a fan of the so, “I know it's a huge franchise the world over and that the series has a huge fan following but I have not watched any of the movies. I know the third part is up for release, but I can't watch it since I haven't seen the first two. Maybe I'll try and catch up on the first when I have time”.

However, Imran admits that his fans also want to see him in the role of vampire. "I have heard this a lot from my fans on Twitter. They find a lot of resemblance between Edward and me. They say I look similar to Robert. I think it has something to do with the way my hair was styled in I Hate Luv Storys. Otherwise, I really don't see any similarities."

Imran does not find Indian audience for desi version of Twilight.

Ash just want to be with Abhi

Hectic schedules restricted Bollywood sizzling couple to spend time together. So, now they have decided for a week long vacation in London. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan will spend some quality time in London. Abhishek will be heading to London to shoot for ‘Dostana 2’ and Aishwarya will follow Abhi to be with him.

A source said, “Ash will be travelling to Londonto be with Abhishek. She has made sure that she does not have anything important on her schedule as she just wants to spend quality time with him. The couple has been neck deep in work, right from shooting for their individual films to promoting ‘Raavan’ that saw both of them star in it. They hardly had a breather and so as soon as Ash learnt that Abhi will be in Londonto shoot Karan’s movie, she decided to book her tickets to Englandtoo.” “Ash loves London. It is one of her favourite cities in the world and the couple will have great fun there. We hear Ash has got everything fixed right from them partying to hooking up with their friends to even shopping,” said the source.

Shopping, hanging over, parties, meeting with friends are in Ash and Abhi’s programme. For the coming months, Ash will be busy with the wrap up work of ‘Endhiran’ and ‘Action Replay’ and Abhi will be busy with his films.

No fight with Deepika Padukone says Imran

Prior to the shoot of the Bollywood Movie Break Ke Baad there were a lot of reports about cold vibes between Bollywood StarsDeepika Padukone and Imran Khan. However, they soon struck up a friendship.

When reporters asked Imran Khan about the initial tussle, he denied that there was ever such an issue. He says they were always friends and were only pulling each others leg.

“She is one of the sweetest persons I have worked with. She is a very hardworking person and honestly I don’t have a word of complain against her,” says Imran Khan. “It is sad that you can’t joke about anything,” he refers to the joking over twitter which had led to the speculations.

All is well that ends with a happy note.  :)

Bebo to go back to Size Zero!

Everything about the project is under wraps right now. But if there is one recent film announcement that has got Bollywood truly excited it is the news of Kareena Kapoor teaming up with today’s poster boy Imran Khan.

Bollywood is happy that there will be one more star pair for them to market. Yes, these very good-looking actors have been signed by Karan Johar for his Short Term Shaadi, a film that is reportedly on the lines of the Cameron Diaz-Ashton Kutcher romcom What Happened in Vegas.

A source says that the film is likely to go on the floors in the month of November 2010. And Karan and his core team have been in closed-door meetings about the look of the characters, the locations, costumes, etc.

While Imran said, “I’m not at liberty to discuss anything about the film right now.” Kareena too has been vowed to secrecy by the creative team. However, it is being said that Karan has reportedly asked Bebo to lose weight again. BT managed to get some inside details. A source said, “It is ironical. Kareena had just started eating to look slightly rounded because her boyfriend Saif Ali Khan is tired of her looking like a clothes hanger.”

The actress herself had confessed, “Saif likes my butt,” and got a lot of rebuttal from the press for “talking like that”. So she had immediately backed off. But the bottom line is Bebo had actually altered her diet. She was eating well and just when she was sinking her teeth into more wholesome food, news comes that Karan wants her to lose weight again and get back to being size zero.

The actress has also been asked to apparently go in for a shorter haircut by the end of October because she has to match the light-eyed Imran perfectly. Will Kareena oblige? While she is not at liberty to talk to the press about Short Term Shaadi, one thing is sure — Bebo will comply with whatever Karan wants her to do. She has that killer instinct, and if she has to drop a size or two for a role, she will gladly do so. Saif, we guess, will have to be patient once again!

Katrina, Deepika in SMS race!

The last time Bollywood beauties Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone crossed lines was over their common interest in Ranbir Kapoor.

Now that seems to have been relegated to the past. There is fresh reason for the girls to have cold vibes.

Kat has been in Spain for the last 40 odd days, Ranbir is in Delhi romancing newbie Nargis for Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar and Deepika is in Mumbai promoting Pradeep Sarkar’s Lafangey Parindey.

But, what is interesting though is that by design or default, Kat and Deepika are destined to want the same thing. Both beauties are currently messaging one famous filmmaker continuously these days. One of these two heroines is set to start work with his banner and the other wants to desperately work with him.

So each day, whether they brush their hair or not, they message this director for sure. BT had earlier mentioned that five top directors are inundated with SMSes from Bollywood’s leading ladies daily. Seems like Kat and Deepika will relentlessly continue their pursuit till the big filmmaker signs them on!
