Fighting with Gordon Liu was a tough task: Akshay Kumar


Akshay Kumar got to do some heady action sequences in Nikhil Advani's forthcoming 'From Chandni Chowk To China', but the action hero says fighting with Chinese martial arts master Gordon Liu was the toughest part of the film.

Chandani Chowk to China, Akshay Kumar, Gordon LiuAkshay Kumar got to do some heady action sequences in Nikhil Advani's forthcoming 'From Chandni Chowk To China', but the action hero says fighting with Chinese martial arts master Gordon Liu was the toughest part of the film.

'I have watched '36 Chambers of Shaolin' 52 times before doing the film. Doing action for it and fighting with the Chinese masters, particularly Sir Gordon Liu, was the most difficult in the movie,' said Akshay.


Gordon Liu is known for his acts in Hollywood films like the 'Kill Bill' series and the 'Shaolin' series, including '36 Chambers of Shaolin'.


In 'Chandni Chowk to China', Akshay plays a simple cook from Delhi who goes to China to try his luck there.


'Getting into the character was not difficult as I have been a cook in my real life, but shooting for the movie has been a difficult experience,' Akshay told reporters at the film's music release here Tuesday.


'We have shot at the Great Wall of China and shooting there in extreme cold conditions was quite tough,' he said.


Chandani Chowk to China, Dipika PadukoneThe film, which has been shot in China and Bangkok, also stars Deepika Padukone in a double role.


'Playing two different characters was quite challenging for me as they are so contrasting in nature,' said Deepika, who played a double role in her debut film 'Om Shanti Om' as well.


'One is an Indian girl with traditional values and the other a Chinese girl, who is bold and sexy and does a lot of action,' she added.


'I had to go for a complete look change for both the roles, which made things quite difficult for me. Besides, doing an action film with someone like Akshay Kumar is quite challenging,' said Deepika.


Also present at the music launch were director Nikhil Advani and actor Ranvir Shorey.


'Chandni Chowk To China' will hit theatres Jan 16, 2009.

Ranbir Kapoor hits Katrina Kaif


Blow from Ranbir left Katrina bleeding nose...

Ranbir Kapoor hits Katrina Kaif, Ajab Prem Ki Gajab KahaniKatrina and Ranbir were shooting on the sets of Rajkumar Santoshi film, Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani in Madh Island. The duo was acting out a chase sequence where they were hounded by the goons. The scene demanded Ranbir to turn around and hit one of the chasing goons.


The shot would have had a photo finish only that Ranbir's blow landed on the wrong face! In an accidental miss he happened to hit Katrina. An unintentional blow from Ranbir left Katrina bleeding nose.


It is known from the sources, Ranbir immediately apologized to the actress, but she took no offence because she knew the blow was not intentional. However, delicate Katrina was hurt and had to be given first-aid on the sets.


Rajkumar Santoshi was so very worried that he called off shooting for the day. Even the next day, too, Santoshi did not shoot the film but used the free time to do some decoration on the sets.

Asin In! Gul Out!

Aamir and Asin together for an ad-film.
Movies without promotion seems like a brownie without a chocolate dope. That is why before the release movies sees a lot of promotion through television soaps and reality shows. However,'Ghajini' promotions will see something new.


Till now Aamir was the only actor involved with the 'Ghajini' promotion but, now accompanying him will be his co-star Asin.





The actress has been roped in for Tata Sky's new commercial. This has been done with respect to the tie-up planned with the publicity of the movie that is steadily pacing up.


The commercial is still to go on air. This clearly means Gul Panag who plays the better half of the Aamir in the current ad film is getting replaced by Asin.

Naga Chaithanya, the son of Telugu superstar Nagarjuna and the grandson of the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao, is all set to enter Tollywood.























2008: The common man triumphs over the superhero!

As year 2008 draws to a close, all eyes are now on an employee of a state electricity board to ignite the box-office, a fete that a mythological superhero, an anti-hero, and even a rock star failed to do so far.


Come Dec 12, superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be seen as commoner Surinder Sahni who works for Punjab Power Board in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'.

Going by the film’s tagline, it is a story of a common man who is happy in his mundane existence but undergoes an image makeover to win a small-time dance competition and the heart of his sweetheart.

Bollywood has been churning out mega-budget films with pioneering special effects in an attempt to make screen heroes all the more larger than life. 'Drona', 'Love Story 2050', 'Kidnap', 'Yuvraaj' - all came and went but none left a lasting impact.

Though nearly all films are breaking even on account of the numerous revenue-making avenues, movie aficionados are still waiting for this year’s soul-stirring screen hero.

Akshay Kumar’s act as the bumbling Sikh-turned-goodhearted-don in 'Singh Is Kinng' remains by far the most endearing act of the year and it is Shah Rukh’s turn to pull at audiences’ heartstrings.

'Rab Ne...', slated for Friday release, is hoping to change that.

For its illustrious makers, the film’s grounding in a middle-to-lower middle class neighbourhood from the beginning to the end of the fable is a marked deviation from their usual fair.

Yash Raj Films has given some of Hindi cinema’s most remembered trendy, hip, well-heeled and cosmopolitan screen characters but seldom has it told the tale of a common man who regales in his humble means till the credits role.

Publicity for 'Rab Ne...' has been largely curtailed in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai but the presence of King Khan, who is himself a symbol of the triumph of a middle-class boy-next-door coupled by the endearing music and promos, will hopefully get people back into cinema halls.

Shah Rukh says, “I truly believe that I bring hope to the middle With 'Rab Ne...', filmmaker Aditya Chopra has joined a growing number of believers who are reinventing the common man on the firmament of Hindi cinema.

Even as the Indian economy struggles to escape from getting sucked into the global meltdown and the traditionally chary and less flamboyant middle class is emerging as the dark horse, and advertisers, marketers and now filmmakers cannot ignore them, say trade observers.

The new wave of directors and filmmakers had figured this out long ago and Bollywood has been churning out a string of very refreshing movies that tell the tale of man on the street. The trend has pushed character actors who look nothing like the hero of yore into the centre-stage.

This week’s releases 'Dil Kabaddi', 'Oh My God', 'Maharathi' and 'Meerabai Not Out' are all helmed by directors and actors who would never have dreamt of a mainstream release till couple of years ago.

Most remarkably, Mumbai-based drama 'Slumdog Millionaire' has been making waves in the US. The story of a slum dweller who wins the Indian version of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' is winning at festival circuits and even drawing audiences beyond the traditional Bollywood fan base.

Remains to be seen if this story of a commoner can be the crossover film India has been pinning for.
