Jackie Shroff says no to father roles

July 16th, 2011

jackie-shroff-bollywood-001Guess, the ‘18 till I die’ syndrome works well with Jackie Shroff. According to sources, for the upcoming movie, ‘Neil Ko Pakadna Mushkil Hi Nahin Namumkin Hai’ directed by Chandra Barot, Jackie was offered the role of the lead actor i.e. Aniket Vishwasrao father but Jackie refused and as a result, the storyline was changed slightly and he was asked to portray the role of the actors brother.

Director of the movie informs, “Jackie was to project the role of Abhijeet’s father but he refused the role saying abhi mujhe pitaji ke role nahi karne hain . Therefore, we changed his role as the brother’s role in the movie.” In the movie, Jackie Shroff essays the role of Aniket Vishwasrao’s big brother and the brothers have an uncanny rapport as they like to play games where they challenge one another on various issues. Now, Jackie’s photos regularly appear on the front page for his many charities and he always chides with Aniket as to when would he see his photo on the cover of a paper. This is a sort of challenge for Neil (Aniket) and he accepts the challenge. Neil, with his three friends, kidnaps a beauty queen (Sanam) who has just won a beauty pageant (not knowing she is the daughter of the Chief Minister). Thus starts a long chase and finally Swati (Sanam) realises that this was a prank gone wild (she actually falls in love with Neil), both Swati and Neil decide to clear all misunderstandings and return back home when Swati actually gets kidnapped by real terrorists. The boys decide to rescue her as it was their fault in the first place and in the process, they also get caught. Here Jackie Shroff decides to bring his brother back and this time Jackie’s wife (Anu) throws a challenge at him and this is one challenge he is not going to loose.

singam_hindi_movie_ajay_devgan_walllpapers5

Kajol helped husband Ajay with his Marathi dialogues for Singham.

Ajay Devgn plays a tough cop from Goa in Rohit Shetty’s forthcoming action film Singham. The actor, who plays a Maharashtrian character in the film, has spoken fluent Marathi dialogues in the film.

It is believed that our Punjabi munda Ajay wasn’t so comfortable with the language. Thus his actor wife Kajol, who can speak fluent Marathi, came to his rescue. According to a unit hand, Kajol became Ajay’s tutor for few days. He used to rehearse his Marathi dialogues with Kajol to get his dialect right.

The wifey helped him to get the right pronunciations of few Marathi words which made Ajay feel comfortable onscreen while playing a Marathi cop. So now when you see him mouthing fluent Marathi sentences you know whom to give credit.

ZNMD Box office report: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara opens with a bang

July 16th, 2011

znmd_imageAll’s well that starts well? May be. The two releases this Friday — Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 — have set the cash registers ringing at box office.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara opened at 875 screens and saw a very good audience response, ranging between 70 to 90 percent. Some shows, in fact, ran to packed houses on Friday. This is a heartening response for trade, which expected the film’s collections to take a hit following the Mumbai terror attacks just two days back.

ZNMD has got mixed reviews from the critics, some hailing it as a nod to life while others trashing it as a mere ad for Spanish tourism. But what matters at the end of the day is bumps on seats, which this Zoya Akhtar directed film has managed to attract.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 released on 800 screens and saw a positive response at most of the centres. The audiences are particularly flocking to see the film in 3D version, the 2D version failing to really take off yet. Still, the film is expected to have a good first weekend.

Another positive is that ZNMD and Harry Potter don’t seem to be eating into each other’s business as much as one had expected. Which means a win-win situation.
