A R Rahman's composition 'Nanha re' in Mani Ratnam's Guru has a history behind it. Apparently, the original song was composed to Aishwarya's introductory scene, where she was supposed to be cycling. However, Aishwarya met with an accident while rehearsing the sequence and was unable to cycle after the injury.
This only meant that the entire sequence had to be reworked and the song had to be composed again. Ratnam asked Rahman to do the needful.
The very chic Anaita Shroff Adajania clearly found her calling the day she decided to become a stylist.
When you watch Dhoom 2 (and I know you will) check out the individual looks she’s put together for the star cast. In fact some of the more painful slapstick scenes (mostly featuring Bips as a Brazilian bimbette) are rescued only by virtue of her stunning wardrobe. Here’s how to describe (and duplicate) your favorite trendsetter in D:2 according to Anaita:
The action film genre was written off from mainstream Bollywood in the mid 90s. So much so that these were neither considered 'classy' films nor family entertainers. At that time, who ever dwelled on the notion that there would ever be a time in Bollywood, where, this same action film genre would be revived in a style, which would be at par with the Hollywood films?
What's more, this revival and conceptualization has been done devoid of any assistance from Hollywood technicians. Yes, we're talking about Dhoom:2 and its action director Allan Amin.
Dhoom 2 doing a black? With public all ga-ga over the high on adrenaline, slick flick, police is hot on trail of black-marketeers charging exorbitant amount for a ticket. Five people are said to have been arrested in the last three days.
Tremendous opening response to this Yash Raj production has sent cash registers of ticket black-marketeers ringing that too after a long gap.
Exceeding even the most optimistic expectations, Dhoom 2 blasted through the North American market grossing $979,000 over the weekend in 63 theaters. The film, which opened on Thanksgiving Day in about 40 theaters, looted a mind-lowing $1.3 million for the four-day weekend. Though its gross in the United Kingdom was not available on Monday, the romantic adventure produced and distributed by Yash Raj Films is said to be mimicking its American run.
AR Rahman started his career with filmmaker Mani Ratnam. The duo is back together again with ‘Guru’. Rahman says, “There is anticipation, both good and bad. Mani and I think alike as far as music goes. That’s how I ended up giving music to ‘Guru’. We were done with composing most of the songs even before he started shooting.”
Careless whispers: Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan While the entire nation speculates about the marital status of Bollywood's star couple, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, here's a small pointer about what could be the truth. Last Wednesday, Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan were present at a suburban discotheque to launch the Filmfare Collector's Issue. There were a fair number of media persons present, and father and son were in good humour. The conversation veered from Filmfare to politics to films. That's when someone asked Abhishek about his impending marriage to Aishwarya. "Who told you it's impending?" shot back Abhishek, poker-faced. Everyone heard this. Now, in view of all the puja-paath being done lately, with Ash sitting on Abhishek's left and all that, what do we make of this statement?
