It was a tragic day. Another bomb blast ripped through the peaceful fabric of India. This time it was in Delhi. The politicos shouted and attacked each other on TV debates. The same old story. We will continue to remain vulnerable. Helpless.
Well, the much anticipated 'Mausam Musical Evening' slated for tonight go cancelled. I had been looking forward to it. Tomorrow is the music launch of 'Love Breakups Zindagi'. Salim-Sulaiman will be performing live along with several talented singers. I may go for this event and chill out.
Did a couple of interviews today. First one was with Hazel Keech. As most of you must be knowing, she played the role of Maya in 'Bodyguard'. Hazel came to our office and created quite an impact with her simplicity and friendliness. She has a heavy British accent and when she speaks Hindi, its good fun. She spoke on the huge response to the film, how she bagged the role and also spoke on the rumours that linked her and Salman. What many of you may not know is that Hazel also acted in Harry Potter part 2, 3, 4 and 5. They were small roles. But big film franchise nevertheless.
The second interview was with Chetan Hansraj, one of the main villains in 'Bodyguard'. He told me that Salman took him under his wings and trained him really hard. Under Salman's training, Chetan lost 17 kgs in 45 days. "Salman did 2500 crunches while we ate our lunch. He exercises like a 20 year old," Chetan said. Hansraj has had two film offers since the time 'Bodyguard' released. He wants to be the meanest villain in Bollywood.
Here's an interesting observation. Ra.one is releasing on October 26, 2011 which happens to be a Wednesday. That means, Ra.one will be having a five day weekend as well. Aamir's film directed by Reema Kagti is releasing on January 26, 2012 which is a thursday. That means Aamir will be having a four day weekend. No matter what anyone may say, both the Khans will go all out to raise the number of prints-n-screens (benchmark set by Bodyguard) and pack in feverish hype to ensure that they may break the 'Bodyguard' weekend record. Time will tell.
Here's the youtube link of Atul Agnihotri's interview (part 1)
"Critics should think again before they review Salman": Atul
Its a good thing theres only 7 days in a week otherwise overtime would be an issue. As far as I can tell its like apples and oranges. One inside the box one outside the box. Time is on both their sides. let the number crunchers figure it out :-P

ReplyDeleteFaridoon, though we all thought Jan 26th is confirmed date, a tweet from Farhan Akhtar has caused a little confusion. He said the film might release any time between Jan-Mar. Is he out of loop about this film or does he really mean it?
