Prem Raj announces 3 films; Salman Khan will star in I Am Hariprasad
Prem Raj announces 3 films; Salman Khan will star in I Am Hariprasad
People in our film industry do take risks. They do an offbeat film, they turn themselves from actor to director, and they do an overnight Hollywood migration. But this man has just about done something which can be rightly described as 'out of the ordinary'. The term Prem Raj has evolved to describe an unpredictable factor in any number of domains. Now don't ask me the question: Who is Prem Raj? Because it definitely isn't Prem and Raj - two of the most clichéd Hindi cinema screen names. Having said that, the word Prem Raj is synonymous with one of India's biggest super stars: Salman Khan. Didn't get it? Ok, let's flash back here. The director ofMain Aur Mrs Khanna, Prem Soni is back. He is back from the brink with a new identity, Prem Raj. I call him 'The Wild Card'. But we all lovingly call him Prem. So for the rest of the interview, let's stick to the latter. Prem just hasn't changed his name but fortunes too. He has a big announcement to make which might leave the rest of the Indian film fraternity in a bit of frenzy.
This bit of news is going to take you on a long ride of exciting reading. So fasten your seat belts because Prem is officially announcing here on Bollywood Hungama his exclusive three film deal with himself. Again the question, isn't it? Ok, I won't torture you guys. I'll answer. Prem is all set to make three films under his own production company called 'Wild Card Entertainment Private Limited'.
Not one, not two but three films will be produced by Prem Raj under his company which will then be backed by another big production house for distribution and association. Prem hasn't just taken a risk, he has doubled it up. Tripled it up is what most of you would be thinking.
To ask how he felt announcing the big breaking news on Bollywood Hungama, he said, "I've always been a big fan ofBollywood Hungama and know its reach. What better way than to announce my three films on the world's most popular Bollywood gateway."
So here's an exclusive update from Prem Raj on his next three films:
Bombay Muumbai"Bombay Muumbai is a love story with a backdrop of Bombay's turn around into Mumbai with a gap of almost fifteen years between the first and the second half. The film tells the story of two people who separated in Bombay during the 1990's and met up in Mumbai during the mid 2000.
This is the first time you'll be seeing in a film that the main couple in the film are going to be playing 23 year olds in the first half and at the same time they'll be playing 38 year olds in the second half. More than that, it's predominantly about the city fifteen years ago and how love stories were in Bombay and how the love gets transformed into Mumbai. What are the differences in the two time gaps and is Bombay better or is Mumbai better.
The film is going to start by the end of this year and it will be having new faces. I believe that the city is the main hero and the protagonist. So I've decided that I need new faces because the story is very strong. The male lead is decided but it's too early to take his name as of now. I am still searching for the girl and will announce both their names once the female lead is locked. I am also in talks with the director which I will announce once we finalize him. I've seen Bombay in my early teens and I see it today too with the youths. Finally it's a story about how love evolves in changing times."
Merrry Christmas
"Merrry Christmas will tentatively start early next year. It's a tentative title as of now and is filmed in the romantic city Paris. It's a story of two soul mates coming together in Paris and living a beautiful life. The story is split into two halves where you get to see a strict life of two people. It's got its own twist and turns and is a love story.
The film is called Merrry Christmas because it revolves around the Christmas season. I have the script for the last eight months now and I am planning to make this for quite a long time now. I am in talks with one of the top actors of our industry and is almost on the verge of finalizing him. The announcement is going to happen soon and a big studio is going to back it up.
Merrry Christmas is going to be directed by me."I Am Hariprasad
"This one is a biggie. I Am Hariprasad stars my best friend Salman Khan. It had to be him in the title role. He plays Hariprasad in the film. The world audience will love him in this kind of a film. Half the battle is already won when you have Salman in the film. He is the best Hariprasad I could ever have.
I Am Hariprasad is a very unusual film for me to direct. I have written the script of the film too and it's not something you'll expect out of me because I believe in love stories and this one is not a love story.
There will be two leading ladies opposite him in the film and I Am Hariprasad deals with the biggest business in the world, business which is always on the upswing and is possibly the only thing which flourishes more than the recession - Religion.
I Am Hariprasad focuses on the relationship of man with God and the bridge between the two. Hariprasad is the Godman. It focuses on the Hinduism. Salman had his own inputs in the film and is working hard on this one. It is one of my ambitious films and is hilarious. It's going to make people laugh and at the same time the film has drama."
So if anyone thinks that Barack Obama is the busiest man on this planet, just rethink of a man called Prem Raj. Three back to back films produced by him, two of which he'll direct and one of which will have Salman Khan. Did Deepika Padukone hear this bit? What about Sonam Kapoor? All new leading ladies...beware, Prem is on the prowl...and if this ain't breaking news...what is?
Abhishek Bachchan, Nana Patekar & Sanjay Dutt in next Hera Pheri
Abhishek Bachchan, Nana Patekar & Sanjay Dutt in next Hera Pheri
Producer Feroz Nadiadwala waited four years for Akshay Kumar to return to the third film in theHera Pheri series before they parted ways because of the price factor. With Akshay gone, Feroz had to change the entire cast of Hera Pheri.
Now Abhishek Bachchan plays Akshay Kumar's role. Nana Patekar has stepped into Paresh Rawal's role, And Sanjay Dutt plays Suniel Shetty's part.
This, according to Nadiadwala, would remain the line-up of actors for the Hera Pheri films to come.
The parting with Akshay over Hera Pheri has left Feroz distressed. "I first started discussing the third Hera Pheri movie with Akshay in 2006. I never wanted to make it without him. It's sad that we couldn't come to an agreement. Akshay is like a brother. But I can't afford him. I hope we work together again very soon."
Feroz is delighted with the script that Anees Bazmee has come up with the new Hera Pheri film.
"It's going to be one of the funniest comedies in living memory," promises Feroz.
Aamir Khan signed up as brand ambassador for Mahindra two wheelers?
Aamir Khan signed up as brand ambassador for Mahindra two wheelers?
Any film Aamir does becomes a topic of discussion nationwide. Be it his film on the education system - 3 Idiots or the recently released Peepli [Live], a film on the farmer suicides. They don't call him 'The Perfectionist' for nothing.
If that wasn't enough, Aamir continues to be a red-hot property even in the ad world, in terms of brand endorsements too. After the Etisalat deal, Aamir has apparently, been signed up as the brand ambassador of the 'yet-to-be-launched' two wheelers from the Mahindra stable.
Get geared as Aamir might just take you for a ride (literally)
Bipasha to shoot her fitness video in Goa
Bipasha to shoot her fitness video in Goa
Bipasha will be spending a lot of time in Goa in the coming weeks. First she will shoot her fitness video on the beaches quickly before winter sets in. Then she is all set to shoot a re-mix of the song 'Dum Maro Dum' for Rohan Sippy's film of the same title.
In Rohan Sippy's film, Bipasha Basu is all set to swing to the sound of the R D Burman track 'Dum Maro Dum'. The copyright issues with Dev Anand and his film Hare Rama Hare Krishna have apparently been sorted out. Pritam Chakraborty is all set to record a new version of the Asha Bhosle classic.
Says Bipasha, "I can't talk about it right now. But when it happens it will happen. Give it another two weeks."
She has another issue-based film Aakrosh coming up after Lamhaa. And Bipasha wonders how the audience would react to it. "The social issue, honour killings, is treated like a thriller. Even Lamhaa was treated like a thriller. But how many people went to see it?"
Bipasha plays a schoolteacher in a tradition-bound village in Aakrosh. "For me the interesting part of doing Aakrosh was to see how far away I can get away from my glamorous image. I discovered it was easy for me to do real characters. The director, Priyadarshan, is a delight to work with. And my co-star is Ajay Devgn who is a good dependable actor. I've another film Mr. Fraud with Ajay directed by Abbas-Mustan which got stuck. I don't know if that will ever release."
Bipasha has a message for her colleagues who are keen to lend their names to issue-based films. "Don't charge any money for working in such films. It's the only way to make issue-based films commercially viable."
Says the actress, "After Lamhaa, I am tempted to tell a committed filmmaker like Rahul Dholakia to make out-and-out commercial films. Or if you make a film on a social issue then make sure it doesn't go over-budget. The audience doesn't care about what's happening in the real world. It's shameful that Lamhaa was so costly. If it was made for Rs. 4 crores it would have been a hit. When a mainstream actor does a film on a social cause it should be done free of cost as a sign of commitment to society."
Bipasha is all set to go to Goa well in advance of her earlier plan to shoot her video. "I want it to be shot outdoors in Goa. Winter gets too crowded. And I've a film to shoot in September. So I've to rush the video. I am going crazy doing my calorie counts. This time I've no team. I am doing everything on my own. It's a little boring to do it by myself. But I've always been a loner."
And yes, all is well between Bipasha and John. Says Bipasha confidently, "If God forbid, anything were to go wrong between me and John, he would be the loser not me."
John Abraham may go right ahead and insure his body parts. Bipasha isn't doing any such thing. Bipasha can't see the sense of John insuring his butt.
She says, "I'm a body person and I am definitely into fitness. But I'd never insure any body part. He's welcome to do what he likes. I just want to know which insurance company is insuring his butt."
Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra in 'Ishq Vishk 2'?
Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra in 'Ishq Vishk 2'?
The latest news doing the rounds is that producer Ramesh Taurani is planning to make a sequel to ISHQ VISHK. Rumours are rife that Ratna Sinha will direct the film, which is expected to star Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in the lead. However, Ramesh Taurani denies the development completely, "It's untrue. We don't have a story for a sequel, so how can we announce the film in the first place?" But he confirms that Ratna Sinha did narrate a subject to him. "But it was for an altogether different film. Beyond that we haven't had any discussions," Taurani adds.
Meanwhile, Taurani is gearing up to start RACE 2, directed by Abbas-Mustan. This film is likely to take off early next year.

- Boxers
This is another one of our things we don’t mind lending to the women. The ones above work too but check boxers are sexier for some reason. But, nothing kills the whole thing like a girl who buys her own. - Baniyan
Ok let’s face it. We don’t know why we wear them. Maybe because mother made us, growing up. Maybe it squashes ‘em man-boobs together. Who knows. But the fact is that a vest falls on a girl like nobody’s business. As long as she can’t use it as a bra to work – it’s bloody hot. - Jackets
For some very, very strange reason – we like the girl smell in our jackets. More so in the case of winter jackets – the naked girl smell lasts longer and brings a smirk to the face every time we wear it. We love it if you borrow our bomber jackets. We love it when you tell friends it’s ours. But more than that we love it when you wear it at home..and that’s all you wear. - Old T-shirt
