No Condoms

Nobody should misunderstand Bollywood’s romantic actress Bipasa Basu, because there is some meaning to say about No Condoms. She says I never act in the commercial advertisements pertaining to Condoms in future. In this connection Bipasa clarifies that I will get enormous income acting in commercial advertisements, but there are some customs, systems and values for me. Hence I cannot agree to act in all ads. Mainly I do not have interest to act in advertising about condoms. However, I will say that to avoid HIV and for safety purpose one can use condoms.

But those who are very eager to make business commercially on this issue I will not become as a brand Ambassador for such companies. Similarly I will maintain distance for advertising about Cigarettes also. Really it is better and appreciable for the famous actresses to maintain distance in such activities and taking decisions basing on the protection of values in the interest of people.

Through Entertainment we can get Oxygen

Dynamic and creative director S S Rajamouli blenched his career from the film STUDENT NO. 1 as a director and till date his success is going on developing higher and higher. His earlier movies SIMHADRI, SYE, CHATRAPATHI, VIKRAMAKUDU including his recent block buster movie YAMADONGA, all were created a sensation and tremendous successful and mesmerized the entire mass. As a result he succeeded and stood as one of the best directors of Telugu Cine Field. There will be excellent settings and spends enormous budget in making films. His thoughts, deeds, settings, and stories will be powerful and never compromises in any respects. He said, he is going to direct a film for Ramcharan, which is going to produce by Allu Arvind on the banner of Gita Arts. His recent film YAMADONGA has become sensational hit and completed 50 days in about 400 centers. In this connection, he had transactions with press.

What lessons you learn from the film YAMADONGA?

I learnt that I did not lose the aplomb which kept on the audience. Further, I got full confidence that I have been succeeded in making socio fantasy film, by which I can make mythological movies without fear in future.

Is it not heavy financial burden and risk in making mythological movies? Not only expenditure and risk, but it is also very difficult in making mythological movies. However, to make such films I never go back and compromise, but I am ready to bore the burdens.

Further, it will be very difficult to highlight the magic in mythological films like fantasy films. What do you say?

When we are making films with dedication and full heartedly then, I do not think about the difficulties, but I take as a challenge and mould as per the requirements. My aim is to entertain the audience; hence I work hard and feel no need to become hurry burry. It is an example that my recent movie YAMADONGA is producing oxygen and without any sort of confusion I can proceed to make mythological movies.

What is the secret behind you and Jr. NTR in making all successful hits?

I know very well what he is and he knows what I am fully. We both came to know the taste of the successes. More than that, we both have full confidence on each other. This itself brought success for us.

NTR treats you like his brother. Then, at the time of cinema shootings how you will react with him?

The style of Tarak is entirely indifferent. He is an excellent and energetic immensely talented hero who can entertain the audience still about 40 years more. Whatever dimensions we have observed on him are very less. But he had many distinctions which will become more sharper. Hence, I used to say only one thing to Tarak that do not spill out keeping in view of the present results, and said to think what benefits can be achieved after 10 years.

Why do you thought to highlight the great legend NTR on the silver screen? Is it for impressing the fans of him?

Really speaking this film is pertaining to him. Moreover his grand son is acting. Hence, I thought it will be better to highlight these two great heroes in one frame and created a special place in the story. Whenever NTR appears on the screen entire audience enjoyed a lot by expressing their happiness with their clapping. Whatever, we thought the same 100 percentages results we got. When many of the audience expressed their unknown feelings and emotions and shared their joyfulness of pleasure with us, we also felt very emotion. Such place was occupied in the hearts of Telugu people by the great NTR until now.

Rajamouli film means it will be huge budgeted movie. What do you say?

No doubt, definitely it will be huge budgeted film, because my thoughts and stories will be in higher range. Further, if we want to entertain the audience the budget should be high including good story. Hence, I make films to entertain the audience and remain in their hearts for ever and I never compromise in that matter.

What expectations do Telugu people can keep on your films?

Telugu people can have higher expectations on my movies. I have many ideas in making historical movies. However, at present days the quantity of historical themes has been extremely reduced. But, I am planning to make one film on the historical back ground. Apart from making folk story films also.

Most of our films are made on the basis of entertainment only. Is it not possible to make any special theme stories?

Telugu people are very much interested in entertainment movies. As they have only one facility to get enjoy through cinema. 80 percentages of the people are enjoying by entertainment movies. But if I make an art film and say the audience to watch and enjoy, they will not agree by this. Hence we are compelled in making such films only. We proceed by the encouragement given by the audience and nothing contrary to them.

If it abides like this, then what guarantee is there for our Telugu films in winning National Awards?

Telugu Cine Industry also producing many art films. Otherwise how it was possible to come out the film SHANKARABHARANAM? There are many films which stood in National level and won the awards. However, most of our films are good entertainments.

In one of the press meet you have announced that after watching the film CHIRUTHA, you will direct for Charan’s film. When you are going to start?

It will be full of mass entertainment and action oriented. The film is going to produce by Allu Arvind on the banner of Gita Arts.

How do you feel about the action of Ramcharan?

His appearance is very nice. Particularly the performance of fights and steps which were performed by him was very ease and excellent. However, it will be very difficult for any artiste in appearing in close up shots, mainly in the sentiment scenes. But I did not find such difficulty in him though it is his first movie.

When you are going to start your next flick with Charan Teja?

We are planning to start the shooting, may be in the month of December 2007 and will be released by August 2008.

Mr. MEDHAVI appears in indifferent style

In this connection, the director said our hero is an employee in one of the corporate firm. He falls in love with one of the NRI who comes from abroad. However, in the beginning he had friendship with that beauty and gradually became intimacy with her.

But how that friendship and intimacy developed as love is suspense said by the director. The story and storyline is very attractive and impresses entire family members and enjoy the film. Producer said that after completing other related works we will release the film in the month of November 2007.

Tanushri Dutta in Thailand

We are roaming in the forests of Bangkok for shootings. This is the first time we are roaming in the forests. I have taken special training in Marshal Arts to act in action scenes.

In addition, she said still there is one more duet song which is to be filmed on me and Kamal Hasan. This is to be completed at the earliest possible she added.

John & Bipasha

Mumbai, While couples like Aishwarya Rai-Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor-Shahid Kapur can't seem to get enough of each another, Bipasha Basu feels she spends ample time with her boyfriend John Abraham."We've more than enough time together. While we're in Mumbai, we are always together after shooting. And while we're on separate outdoor locations the time we get to spend away from each other is very important for our relationship. We can't be together constantly," said Bipasha. Bipasha admits John and she are discussing marriage. "But not right away. There's still time." Apparently, John is busy hunting for a larger house for the future alliance."John is very practical and has a great business sense. He's busy hunting and buying property. Let's see what the future has in store.

"For now, we were very happy doing another film together. I was a little apprehensive after our last film, 'Madhoshi'. We hadn't enjoyed the process of making that film. But now after 'Goal', we're thinking of signing another film together. But I repeat, we don't need to work together to get time together."

Charan has best future

The movie is opened to frenzied mobs at the theatres. Ram Charan's energetic performance and Puri Jagan's weak story, screenplay and Super-like direction are juxtaposed against each other.The story is weak. Screenplay and direction by Puri Jagannath will sure disappoint the audience in a big way. Some of the scenes are routine, outdated, but shown with gloss.Puri Jagannath tried to justify the title Chirutha through hero's words to the villain: "My looks are like Chirutha." The same looks are used at the heroine too! .Music by Mani Sharma is an asset to the film. Picturisation of all songs are good, with maximum focus on the hero. Naturally! A majority of the eight songs turns speed breakers to the progression of yet a weak story.
This movie is not to the expectations of the viewers.In overall the performance of Charan has proved his talent excellently though Chirutha is his debutante film and he has best future.

Nana Patekar as TRUCK DRIVER

Farah Khan About SRK

Farah Khan is looking forward to one thing in life right now — For the moment life is just Om Shanti Om for Farah. The idea generated from Bombay Dreams in London says Farah. "When I was choreographing for Bombay Dreams, I realised that for them the term Bollywood means cinema of the 70s.The first half is based in the 70s and the second half in 2007. The decade of the 70s was the period when interesting films were made. There were stars like Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini on the top. It was a fun era," said Farah. Farah adds, "The styling for the film is unique, totally like the 70s in the first half. I’ve used cars which were used by Rajesh and Hema. Guru shirts, which were made popular by Rajesh, have also been used. I had to do a lot of referencing with hair dressers. I have used props from R.K. Studios, like the lights and cranes etc."

For the first time Farah has convinced her hero Shah Rukh to take off his shirt. "It wasn’t tough to make him do that but he said he would have to work on his body before doing it. He worked hard to get those six pack abs. I’ve shot so many songs on him earlier that I always wanted him to do an item number for me the way Ram Gopal Varma shoots item numbers on his heroines with waterfall in the background, and I did just that in Om Shanti Om. I am glad for Shah Rukh since it is a great change over for him at the age of 42," says the director.

On her association with Shah Rukh, Farah says, "After working with him, it is difficult for me to work with others."

About her forthcoming film Happy New Year, she says that she plans to complete the script after this film gets released. When asked about choreography Farah says, "I am tired of it. I am going to retire from choreography. Unless it’s an international project, I have no interest."

In present Telugu cinema there is no Telugu culture.

Shyam Benegal is a director having with principles and named as parallel film director. He brought the Indian Cinema to the heights and level of international. Hence he has been awarded with a prestigious DADA SAHEB PALKE AWARD by the Indian government. Three decades before he made a film ANUGRAHAM in Telugu which still remains in the memory of cine critics. Telugu literature is very wide and broad. If any one comes with a good story I am ready to make a film and I am waiting for such opportunity said by Shyam Benegal. He is busy in making a Hindi film at Ramoji Film City. In this connection, he had transactions with press.

You have gone far away from Telugu?
I want to come again. If anybody comes forward with good story, definitely I will make a film in Telugu.

Are you not trying to make with your own story in Telugu?
Telugu literature is very wide and great. There are many stories in Telugu. There is no necessary to break our heads for selecting stories. Whatever the stories we have, if we try to modify front to back then we can make many wonders. I do not know reading Telugu and I am waiting for somebody who can translate Telugu and hear me.

What difference you have observed at the time of your film ANUGRAHAM and present changes in Tollywood?
Why not… when I made the films with Vanisri and Amrish Puri Telugu Cinema was not so developed technically. Now they are using modern technology. One more important issue is previously there was strong story based films. Now there are only dances and fast beats, more than that what we can see in present movies. Already Tollywood stopped to make Telugu culture movies.

Do you watch Telugu movies?
I do not remember what movie I saw in the last. However, while changing TV channels, then if it is not interested also it will appear. In this way I came to know about some of Telugu movies.

Malayalam Cinema is getting international identity. But there are no such opportunities for Telugu. Where these failures are affecting?
If I tell in one word, can you show me Telugu culture in Telugu movies? If you remove sound and watch, then can any Telugu people say it is Telugu film? but Malayalam Cinema is not like that. It protects its identity. There is no wrong in developing into the heights of Hollywood. But it is not fair and correct to pour all the water from pale by seeing the clouds.

Parallel cinema means Bengali and Malayalee alone comes to memory. What is the reason?
There are many literates in that states. They do not like one hero, or one heroine, or one item song. Even they are not interested to watch stereo type cinemas also. They watch the reality on the screen. Hence, whatever cinemas we make in that languages we are getting tremendous inspiration from there.

Do you have confidence in the films which are not near to commercial values and mass in becoming successful?
There is no guarantee to say that those who are making films, filling with mass masala are becoming success! However, I never thought to earn enormous money from mass by watching my movies. My aim is to highlight the issues of middle class of cities. I am very happy if my concept understands to them that’s all.

Cinema means it is a entertaining art. However, you will discuss the issues seriously. How far it is fair? How will you define by yourself?
As a director if I am confident and successful in exposing about the issues and create thinking capacity in the minds of the people, then whatever field I have chosen I feel it is correct.

Do you mean to say you are making the films not for money, but for awards?
If my cinema is good then awards will come their by own. In regards of money also automatically comes to me. Hence I want to keep interest in my work. Each and every small mistake I try to rectify and work hard to get the perfect results.

When you got DADA SAHEB PALKE AWARD some people say it is the identity got for parallel cinema. What is your opinion on this?
It is very happy, but I do not express any interest or see the difference between the parallel cinema and commercial cinema in getting any award. This is my style that’s all. I feel happy to say that the government might have respected my hardships and offered the said award.

When anybody watches the physique of present heroines then male will get impotent very soon said by Akkineni Nageshwara Rao recently. What do you say?
It is absolutely true. When there is strength & stuff in story, then there is no necessary to expose the physique of ladies. In the past if there is a scene of heroine becomes wet in covering complete sari also there was lot of comments on that. However, can you see any heroine wears saris? Further, if the story is good and constructive, then there is no necessary of exposing nakedly and half nakedly and embracing and kissing between hero and heroines.

What do you say about the increase of production cost on making cinemas? Is it for good or bad?
Definitely it is for good only. When we are spending enormous budget on making cinemas and in return when we are getting profits, then spending extra crores there is no wrong in that. Nevertheless today’s young directors are creating wonders on the screen. In my view I feel it is not bad.

Can you say actually on which way our Indian cinema is going?
I can say it is going in better way. Day by day cinema is going on developing. The income of Cine Industry is growing at least 25 percentages every year. It is encouraging is it not?

Who is a beautiful lady in your view?
My first place goes to Madhuri Dixit. Then Jayaprada, Hemamalini. At present i.e. in this generation Kareena Kapoor.

What is your life’s aim?

Making films basing on the life stories of national leaders get a lot of thrilling and satisfaction to me.

“It is a genuine case of ‘inspired form”.

It is not just the original Tamil film, Ghajini, that Aamir found interesting but also the Original actress who he has signed for his remake, very -very appealing. “I thought Asin was stunning in the original” comments Aamir in blog and looking at her in the above Pic we for sure second his vote..
Memento is the Hollywood film that Ghajini is believed to have been remade from, but Aamir strongly negates and says “It is a genuine case of ‘inspired form”. And for those who have been eagerly waiting to see what Bhuvan’s untitled version in Hindi has in store, here’s bringing you a sneak peek of the film, exclusively on IndiaFM.
PS: With Jiah khan and Asin as the leading ladies in this film and with Aamir stating his clause that “at least one kissing scene with my heroine is standard in all my contracts”, one cannot help but guess who the lucky one is.

I can act without taking off my shirt says Shahrukh

Not withstanding his six-pack abdomen which is in the limelight, Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan feels he is capable of acting without taking off his shirt. "In 'Om Shanti Om' I play a hero of today. I felt that everyone in the film world looks cool these days and we went for this look," Khan, who attended a event with tennis star Sania Mirza to promote an upcoming tennis tournament, said. He also said that he had received praise from fellow actors like Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan for his new look.

But Salman had also told him he was looking too thin. The star said he had great respect for sportspersons and had taken up an exercise regimen after shooting for his recent hit "Chak De India", which centres round the game of hockey. Asked if he had any regrets about not doing the Oscar- nominated cricket-based movie "Lagaan", Khan said, "After watching the film, I thought only Aamir (Khan) could have done justice to it. However, I did manage to do 'Chak De'." Khan parried questions on whether there had been renewed interest in hockey following the success of "Chak De India".

"I want to make it clear it is not because of the film that we are doing well in sports. Instead it is because they (sportspersons) are doing well that such movies are made," he said. With more sports-based movies expected from Bollywood in the near future, this could become a new genre in the film industry, he remarked.

Charmie engaged in new employment

By the encouragement of sensational director Krishna Vamsi, Tollywood glamorous damsel Charmie entered into another field. Charmie acted under the direction of Krishna Vamsi as an actor in the films Sri Anjaneyam, Chkram, Rakhi and proved her talent as heroine with her excellent performance. Moreover she learned Telugu and became well acquainted in speaking beautifully.

In that sense Krishna Vamsi encouraged Charmie to give dubbing voice for heroine Kajal in his film Chandamama which was released recently. She not only speaking Telugu beautifully, but giving dubbing voice for another linguistic heroine is appreciable. In the film Rakhi also she spoke the dialogues in her own voice for her role. In this way she may become very busy not only in acting, but also as dubbing artiste in future.

Many of the artistes are thinking that only expressing lips movements in front of camera, their work is over. But other heroines also if they speak their dialogues in their own voice then it will be more beneficial to them. In this issue it is necessary to say about Krishna Vamsi, because, Sindhu Menon one of the heroine of his film Chandamama has been encouraged by him to say dubbing in her own voice. Her mother tongue is Malayalam, however, she learned Telugu within the period of completion of the shooting of the film Chandamama. In the recent period another heroine Mamatha Mohandas was also spoke the dialogues in her own voice in the film Yamadonga and proved her talent.

Nevertheless, somebody brought a project asking me, will you direct a film with Rajinikanth, then normally I told them I will not direct, but I will produce a film if require, but not more than this. Whatever other sort of news is coming out is nothing but bullshit. Moreover I am yet to produce two films he said. Though Kamal Hasan is rejecting the above news, the cine goers are strongly hoping that there will be a project with these three topers and lot of discussions among the people are also spreading entire Tamil Nadu on this subject.

It is enough if people appraises

Sagara Sangamam, Swathimutyam, Bharatheeyudu, Shuba Sankalpam and in many more movies Kamal Hasan played variety of roles and impressed entire people not only in Tamil Nadu, but also entire nation through his excellent performance. Recently his film Raghavan was released. Another film Dasavatharam is under process. He says my next flick will be directly in Telugu. In this connection, Kamal Hasan had transaction with press.

We hope you are busy in making Dasavatharam?
Being an artiste, it is necessary to be little bit busy. Moreover there are lots of estimations on this film. Hence it has become to proceed very carefulness in this regard.

There are many different news is coming on this film?
You are asking me to tell about the film indirectly. When there is lot of time to release the film then how can I brief everything about that movie? However, I can say it will be a good film. I am not saying as an artiste, but as an ordinary audience I can say it will be a positive film in both Telugu and Tamil.

In the past you have played the role of police in many films. Did you find any difference between your past ones and Raghavan?
The role of Raghavan is happening real life’s of many police people. Every time why we have to expose negativeness of police? Are there no good stories about police people? In this concept we have made this film Raghavan. Further, in today’s nation maximum corruption is going on increasing. Why such anti social elements are increasing day by day is to be digested by the police and politicians. Those who think this is my village and nation then, nobody can involve in such murders and criminal activities etc. Not only that it is a crime to eat pan and split on the roads which is injustice. By this concept we want to highlight through this film.

Why there is lot of gap between your films?
Some time it happens like that. When I am doing in Dasavatharam, then there is no chance in acting another film. It is a difficult subject. Starting from makeup, on every issue we have to take special interest and care. Then we cannot travel on two boats at a time.

Your daughter Shruthi is going to perform as music director. Is it true?
Yes. At present Shruthi is doing an album. Today early morning she called me and said she wants to become as heroine and said I will prove what I am. Further, if there is any chance in your banner give me an opportunity she said. When she asked like this I felt like watching a thriller movie. Really she is very intelligent girl. Whatever she thinks she want to do everything in practical. Definitely she can prove her talent in any field. Whatever opportunities I am getting now, if the same opportunities she also gets then there is no doubt she can achieve anything.

There is news that under the direction of Mani Ratnam Rajinikanth is going to play as hero and you are producing the film?
At present there is no such thought. Somebody asked me casually, are you going to direct Rajinikanth’s film, then I told not direction, but as producer I can do. This was twisted in this manner and nothing else.

After the film Shuba Sankalpam you have maintained distance in Telugu?
Within a couple of months I am going direct the film on the banner of Rajkamal enterprises. It will be in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi at a time.


Is there any impact of Hollywood in our films?
Yes there is lot of Hollywood impact in movies. There are many personalities in our films who can create wonders by penning own stories. Though we are not fools, we depend on others and make films feeling it easy.

Are you feeling youngsters as your competitive heroes?
Definitely, because the inspirators and famous directors with whom I got the opportunity to work, these youngsters have lost to work with them. In this issue I feel little bit happy. However, if same opportunity these people gets then they will make many wonders in this field.

Are there any instances you felt agony when your films got flopped?
When a child dies, the heart of that mother only knows the real pain. However, she will not ignore other children. If somebody gives wrong phone number to us, and going on thinking that this fellow has given wrong number and going on weeping then there is no meaning. We have to feel, this second is ours and rejoice to live that’s all.

Did you feel troublesome in sitting hours together wearing different varieties of makeup, feeling dissatisfaction at any time?
One boy wants to meet his girl friend for which he has to travel in bus, or have to wait out side the college. After meeting her, what is going to happen is very tense and thrilling? Moreover he forgets his labor in meeting her. Same feeling gets for us also. Finally, if audience praises our performance then what more we need?

Can you say your long pending dream about Maruda Nayagam?
It is the story pertaining to 18th century. It will be than the budget of Dasavatharam. I alone will direct the film and make in English, French and in Tamil. If I satisfy with that then, I will make in Telugu also.


Is there any idea to enter into politics?
I do not understand these politics. When everybody says they enter into politics, I also say same thing. I can say in every Indian there is a politician. However, I do not have so much knowledge to enter into politics.
