Controversy on All The Best

Somebody or a producer named Karan Ramsay (of Om Films Company) has filed a copyright infringement suit against actor and producer Ajay Devgan over the script of the his soon to release film, All The Best.




Ramsay claims that the script of the film is almost the same as his under-production film called Uncle Samjha Karo. He has even gone on to mention that he had purchased the copyright of his film's script from writer Paritosh Painter in November 2006.

Devgan films on the other hand claim that their film is based on the American play 'Right Bed Wrong Husband' and that they had in fact acquired the script from an American firm for $40,000.

Good Times Ahead for Bollywood

The Hindu festival of lights, Diwali, on October 17 is seen as a banker for Bollywood as holiday time begets a lot of entertainment demand.




Big budget films like the Warner Bros. co-production "Chandni Chowk To China", "Delhi 6" and the Shahrukh Khan release "Billu" all disappointed this year at the box office. Then, a glut of new films are due out as the 2.3-billion-dollar Bollywood business looks to recover from a multiplex cinema boycott, swine flu fears and a series of expensive flops.

We anticipate "good times" ahead for the industry over the next three months.

The stakes were "extremely high for both producers and distributors as it is the first festive season in several years where over half-a-dozen very big films are scheduled for release.


Producer-director Karan Johar's comedy "Wake Up Sid" kicks off the battle of the blockbusters on October 2, on Diwali weekend itself. "All The Best", a comedy, "Blue", an underwater odyssey and Salman Khan's second "comeback" film, "Main Aur Mrs Khanna" (Me And Mrs Khanna), are out on October 16.

The following week sees the release of Khan's third new film, "London Dreams", and the animation "Aladin", with voices by Dutt and Amitabh Bachchan. Bachchan returns in November with "Paa" (Father), about a boy with a premature ageing condition, going up against "Kurbaan" (Sacrifice), with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, "Jail" and "Tum Mile".

Actor-producer-director Aamir Khan comes to end off the year with "3 Idiots" on Christmas Day, December 25. But Diwali regularly sees films compete with one another. "Ultimately, a good film works irrespective of whenever it is released." Hope so!

Rupali Guha has no place for Shahid in her film

The Chak De casting director Abhimanyu Ray was debutant director Rupali Guha’s saviour. After Rupali saw the way the new girls had been cast in Chak De she gathered the courage to make her first film Aamras with four new girls.




The movie was an insipiration for her and no matter how much the pressure to get stars, she gladly stuck to the four news girls Vega, Natasha, Manvi and Aanchal who are the backbone of her film which is about girl bonding.

Debutant director Rupali Guha has a hard act to follow. Her father is the formidably prolific Basu Chatterjee and her father-in-law is the equally formidable Dulal Guha. Both legendary in there own right.

And yet Rupali had to knock from door to door to get her first screenplay approved. “I went to everyone from UTV onwards. They all said, ‘Who’ll watch this film?’ Or worse, ‘Get Shahid Kapoor to play the boyfriend.’ How could I fit Shahid Kapoor into a film about the bonding among four 18-year-old girls played by four absolutely new faces?”

But she refused and is adamant and confident of her story and film.

The story of Aamras was born from debutant director Rupali Guha’s 13-year old daughter Jonaki’s experiences. With Aamras she is all set to open up my daughter’s world. Next, Rupali is working on script called Cinderella about a girl’s dreams of a Prince Charming falling to pieces.

The Hard work behind making My Name is Khan

Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan had put in a lot of hard work in making My Name is Khan. So Much so that SRK continues to practice the body language and the speech patterns of his autistic character, Rizwan Khan even at home.




Before Shah Rukh Khan played the autistic character in My Name Is Khan, Karan Johar met Londoner Chris Aston who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome and his wife Maxine who wrote a book on how to cope with a spouse suffering from the disease.

And that couple’s relationship became the basis of Rizwan and Mandira’s relationship in My Name Is Khan.

At its core level this film is a love story.

Karan has co-scripted the film with writer Shibani Bhatija who has researched extensively on various aspects of an autistic disorder Then Shah Rukh did his own research.

Karan admits this has been the most difficult film of his career. It has taken its toll on the actor director duo. But Karan cuts down the theory that Shah Rukh’s disorder is inspired from Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump.

The syndrome does convey a fair amount of quirks and eccentricities.But his character is not essentially neuro-typical. The film has made me understand human behavior and how to be compassionate and humane.

The film will see the hot pair SRK and Kajol return back on-screen after a hiatus of eight long years.

“Yes, Bebo will be part of ‘Race 2′. We’re yet to flesh out the details. But ‘Race 2′ has to be bigger and larger than ‘Race’. Otherwise no point in making it.”

Race 2 will have loads of action and special effects. Saif and Bebo jodi will again create magic for sure...

Recession in Bollywood

The Bollywood bubble seems to have finally burst. Bollywood is badly struck by recession.

Akshay Kumar, whose acting fees had reportedly hit a high of Rs 75 crore in 2008, has slashed down to around Rs 33 crore. So it seems even the Khiladi could not dodge the effects of an economy in recession.

The recent two month face-off between producers and multiplex owners has already cost them Rs.100 crore and Rs. 250 crore respectively. Add to it, the economic slowdown and producers are being forced to tighten their budgets. They have cut down on star prices, limited the hire of studio equipment, studio floors and even vanity vans.

Marketing films has also taken a hit. Kambakht Ishq, made at Rs 65 crore, went over budget as a result the plan to fly in the Hollywood talent used in the film including Sylvester Stallone has now been scrapped.

Films like Om Shanti Om and Ghajini were being picked up for unheard of prices ranging from Rs 60 crore – Rs 90 crore. However, the offers aren't so readily coming in now.

Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan starrer London Dreams which was to be bought by the Indian Film Company for Rs 120 crore at one point of time is finding it difficult to fetch even Rs. 80 crore now.So is the case with Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt starrer Blue reportedly made at
Rs.100 crore is still looking for a buyer. Even one of Bollywood's most successful filmmakers Rakesh Roshan is reportedly having trouble getting the Rs 100-crore price attached to the Hrithik Roshan-Barbara Mori starrer Kites.

In fact, several productions in the pipeline have been affected by the current market scenario. While Big Pictures have scrapped their adventure drama Talisman starring Amitabh Bachchan, Eros has pushed the start date for their animation and special effects heavy futuristic film RA1 starring Shah Rukh Khan.

Star prices, or budget of Bollywood films and star tantrums thus are things of the past. The only thing certain in this world is uncertainty!

Shiney puts over 10 crores at stake

Shiney Ahuja, the disgraced actor, who is in police custody for the alleged rape of his maid servant. The shooting of the film Har Pal is completed but the incident could have negative impact at the box office. Considering the fact that only Rs.10 to 12 crores are ridding on Shiney Ahuja.

Shiney Ahuja, the disgraced actor, who is in police custody for the alleged rape of his maid servant, is going to add more woes to Bollywood, which is already struggling due to the ongoing economic recession and the fight between the film producers and the distributors. The films he has signed are surely going to suffer if he is convicted in the rape case.

Shiney has four films on hand namely Jahnu Barua’s Har Pal with Preity Zinta, Anurag Chaudhary’s Accident with Soha Ali Khan, Vinod Pande’s Chalu Movies Inc. and an international project Silver Cord with Val Kilmer. Amongst these films, Accident and Chalu Movies, which have gone to the floors, will be affected the most.

The shooting of the film Har Pal is completed but the incident could have negative impact at the box office. Accident is said to be 90 percent complete and the rest of the shooting is mostly with Soha Ali Khan. However, Chalu Movies shooting has to be re-scheduled based on Shiney Ahuja's dates.

Director Sudhir Mishra is even now keen to cast Shiney Ahuja and Chitrangada Singh in his next film, which would go to the floors once he completes the film with Neil Nitin Mukesh.

Considering the fact that only Rs.10 to 12 crores are ridding on Shiney Ahuja, it is more of a setback for the actor as a person and professional than to the film industry. It looks like Shiney's career in Bollywood is at stake!

Rani can do anything to save her career

Bollywood stars are know to be superstitious. From altering their names to signing movies on certain days in a week we have seen that stars do it all. Rani Mukherjee is the latest name in the club and the Hum Tum actress is shifting back to her old house. The reason, well Rani believes her new bungalow has cast a bad spell on her acting career.

A source close to the actress said that ever since she shifted to her Juhu bungalow her career seems to have become jinxed. Her astrologer has advised that Rani Mukherjee should move back to her old residence in Kalyan Complex on Yari Road.

Rani Mukherjee will be next seen in Yash Raj Films Dil Bole Hadippa opposite Shahid Kapur. The actress is in desperate need of a hit after having starred in duds Ta Ra Rum Pum, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic.

Well seems like Rani Mukherjee is keeping no stone unturned for the success of her next movie. A failure now would mean that even Aditya Chopra would have second thoughts about casting her in his upcoming movies. We wish that the actress would soon reach the heights of success. All the very best Rani..
