TINSEL TOWN
Getting a complex
Urmila Matondkar, after years of work, has decided to pick up one trait from Himesh Reshammiya, her co-star in “Karzzzz”. “He is so hard working that you wonder how much you work as compared to him,” says Urmila who is looking
to reincarnate herself in Simi Garewal’s role from the original “Karz”.
“The character is very overpowering and strong. Very rarely will you come across such a character on Indian screens. That was too much of a temptation,” she admits.
Hair apparent
Sonu Niigaam has a hair cutting saloon named after him at Ladakh. Well, doesn’t sound too complimentary because one does feel that Sonu himself needs a good haircut…
The singer who has been doing quite a few stage shows of late got to know that one of his fans in Ladakh has named his hair cutting salon after the singer! Niigaam is euphoric. “It feels really great to know that I have my fan following in places like Ladakh. It gives me contentment that my voice reaches there to entertain them,” exclaims Sonu.
New directions
Aamir Khan loves direction the most. “All three different aspects of filmmaking — production, acting and direction — are part of my career. But I like direction the most. It feels good to put my thoughts across to the audiences. Fil
ms have to be made in a simple and accurate manner. Adding layers to just make them fancy doesn’t work anymore,” says Aamir who was always known to interfere in the direction process when he was an actor.
K.k.k.k. Khan
One more rumour comes to an end. “Shah Rukh is playing an autistic patient called Rizwan Khan in my film ‘My Name is Khan’,” says Karan Johar.
Autism is clinically called Aspergers Syndrome and SRK will attempt to do what Amitabh Bachchan did to Alzheimers’ in “Black” — give it an importance and understanding among the audience. “Shibani Bhatija, the screenplay writer of the film, has researched this disorder very accurately and I can’t wait to see Shah Rukh portray it,” says Karan.
Ok at being panned
