Our headlines may be confusing, but they are true, alright! The director of superhit films like JAB WE MET and LOVE AAJ KAL hates the terminology Bollywood. Like the megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who hates the Hindi film industry being referred to as Bollywood, Imtiaz too detests the word Bollywood. And he has a very strong reason behind it, one that many will agree with.

The talented filmmaker feels that that the term Bollywood is an imitation of Hollywood, and he does not want his beloved industry to be a cheap imitation. He adds light heartedly that there are so many words now, and even Hollywood is actually a tree that grows in LA, in that area, which is why the term Hollywood Avenue came about, and that is how the film industry got its name Hollywood.

So, what does Imtiaz like to call the industry which has given him name, fame, money and success? Imtiaz prefers to call the industry, the Bombay film industry, as he feels that the name Bombay is free and has always been associated with the film industry. Well, you do have a point Imtiaz!

“As an actor, Saif has grown by leaps and bounds. I think in Love Aaj Kal, his monologues are really good. And over time, he has become a very sensitive actor. I am really proud of him,” Sharmila told IANS in an interview.

Talking about some of her favourite Saif-starrers, the 62-year-old actress named films like Love Aaj Kal, Omkara, Parineeta, Ek Hasina Thi, Hum Tum, Being Cyrus, Kal Ho Na Ho and Dil Chahta Hai.

“They are all such different roles that he has played and in such a variety of films. I feel he has an energy in him that makes me want to see him on screen,” she said.

If Sharmila is to be believed, Saif is not an easy actor to work with and says she is confident that he would have been a menace for most of his directors.

“I really don’t know how the directors work with him. He is a difficult actor to work with. The directors probably pull their hair out. How it happens I don’t know, but I like what I see of him on screen,” she said.

The mother and son have featured together in Aashik Aawara (1993) and Eklavya – The Royal Guard (2007).

“He has been very lucky to work with people like Vishal Bharadwaj, Imtiaz Ali, Pradeep Sarkar and Farhan Akhtar, who have given him meaningful and meaty roles,” she added.

According to the doting mother of three – Saif, Soha and Saba, her son’s most forgettable role has been in “Tashan”, where he was cast with Kareena Kapoor. But rather than being extremely critical of his performances, she likes to watch his work like a regular audience.

“I am content to be just a mother to all my children. When I see a film, I see it as any other audience member. I react as an audience. If I feel there are issues with make-up or dialogue delivery, I tell him and he listens to them. But I believe in constructive criticism. So I give suggestions that they can build on, not something that they can’t do anything about,” she clarified.

While Saif branched out from being just an actor to being a producer for his last release Love Aaj Kal, Sharmila doubts his ability to manage financial issues.

“I can’t really give Saif the credit for being a producer. He may have contributed to the creative side of it, but the rest was all done by his partner Dinu (Dinesh Vijan). Saif doesn’t have the patience or inclination to manage finance. He doesn’t understand the concept of money. Dinesh is the one who kept it all within the budget and did a very credible job,” she said.

As of now, Sharmila, who is married to Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, is hoping for a family reunion soon as it’s been a long time since they have all met at one place.

“Such a meeting where all of us are together has to be impromptu. Sometimes if Saif can come, Soha can’t as she can’t dictate terms to her producers. But we see them individually. We met Saif at Interlaken some time back. All of us together is a little difficult but we might manage it soon as we have a wedding coming up in the family,” said Sharmila, who was recently seen in Amol Palekar’s Marathi film Samaantar.

Saif Ali Khan says that he HAS to work with other actors, as must girlfriend, Kareena Kapoor. But at heart, the truth’s up there!

Now that Saif Ali Khan’s first home production Love, Aaj Kal is out of the way, all eyes are on Agent Vinod, the second offering from his banner. This one features Kareena Kapoor in the lead role.

Doubly careful

A lot has been written about Kareena’s displeasure at being left out of Love Aaj Kal, but Saif now has to be doubly careful at the selection of leading ladies for his banner. He says, “We have to be very clear about this thing. It is a profession, and though Bebo and I personally involved but professionally we are not stupid. I want to work with her, once in a while.

I mean there is so much Saif-Kareena going on even off-screen that no good director will be least interested in casting us. Which I why I am glad that Kurbaan is not your regular love story. And we are not doing the regular kind of things in it.”

He reveals that his next home production is totally different genre from the first Illuminati Films’ release. “Agent Vinod is edgy, so it will be cool to see us together in that. But obviously, I have to work with other actors and so must she. It is more interesting to see.

I mean I don’t want to name other people but there have been star couples in the past on screen, that weren’t so exciting. But when you see them with other people, it is refreshing. Actually I think I will take names. At one time John and Bipasha were seen together a lot but one time when they did ads with other people, it was very nice, great and they looked good together.

So we learn from other people, and we don’t do that much work together. We have done one Airtel ad together, and a movie. But it feels like we have done ten movies together because of the perceptions.

Before joining the team of Om Shanti Om, Deepika Padukone had enrolled in a Bachelors of Arts course at IGNOU and is till a student there.

The Love Aaj Kal babe is registered for a BA Sociology major. After OSO, she’d said in an interview that studies were extremely important for her, but she couldn’t take her second year exams because she was busy. Deepika had emphasised that she would try to complete her bachelors as soon as she could.

A source in IGNOU confirmed that Deepika Padukone is indeed a student at IGNOU registered for all three years of BA Sociology. The source said that she has successfully passed her first year and is a second year student now, adding that she’ll remain a student with the university till June 2011.

Anyone who’s seen Love Aaj Kal, has come away wondering who ‘Harleen’ is.

Her name hasn’t appeared in the credits. Evidently there’s a good reason for it. This Punjabi kudi isn’t a Punjabi kudi at all. She’s a 19-year-old Brazilian model called Giselle Monteiro who couldn’t speak Hindi or dance to save her life, at one point in time. And director Imtiaz Ali didn’t want to let out that a Brazilian was playing his Punjabi kudi — and so put off audiences.

In the film, she’s the one who is wooed and won by the Sardar Saif. And yes, the sequence showing her dancing at her engagement drove the entire unit up the wall. Apparently our Brazilian babe just couldn’t get the steps right. Says Imtiaz, “We wanted to put her through the paces with Sarojji (choreographer Saroj Khan). But it never happened. Sarojji didn’t have the time. For a foreigner to get the Indian adaa right is very tough. We take for granted those nakhra-jhatka-matkas which we’ve seen our sisters perform at weddings. Indian girls have those adaas without being trained. But for a foreigner it is tough. Giselle could’ve done with a bit more training.”

Even when Harleen became visible in the trailers she remained inaccessible to the public. Imtiaz says, “Why a Brazilian girl to play an old-fashioned Punjabi girl? Well, I was auditioning girls from all over the country to play the Punjabi girl opposite the Sikh Saif. I couldn’t find the right girl to play the 1965 ki gali mein rehne wali ladki, purane zamane ki.”

Then one day Giselle walked into Imtiaz’s office for another part. “Giselle came to me to play Jo, Saif’s Caucasian girlfriend in the second-half. She wasn’t right for Jo. But my wife who was there suggested Giselle for Harleen. I turned and looked at Giselle and realised she is Brazil’s Harleen. She didn’t know how to speak Hindi. But she had only two lines to speak, which we dubbed.”

Significantly Giselle understood the old-world values of her small-town character better than an urban Indian actress would have. Says Imtiaz, “The small-town mentality in every part of the world is similar.”

It seems Chote nawab Saif Ali Khan and stylish Bebo are reigniting sparks in their relationship after the success of Love Aaj Kal. Stylish Bebo is planning to buy a house in Switzerland by the end of this year.

A birdie informs, Kareena is looking for a house in this picture perfect land as she finds it hard to find privacy in Mumbai. So Bebo is making sure that she earns those extra bucks for the same.

Oooh! Romance is back in the air!

Boy hits on girl at a bar, they make out by the end of that night, they hang out with each other at coffee shops, they make out some more, they start ‘going out’. They are in a ‘relationship’ for two years. Everything seems perfect.

But boy wants to build bridges in San Fransisco, girl wants to restore buildings in India. They don’t want a long-distance relationship. They break up. They talk it out and take the decision as practically as they can. No rona dhona, no sentimental dialogues.

All this happens in the first five minutes of Love Aaj Kal.

Imtiaz Ali’s latest is the ultimate date flick. Collegians and young professionals will love it. It’s them you see on the big screen. The conversation is real, the characters are identifiable, and the lingo ‘cool’. Khan plays the ‘boy’ Jai. You have seen him on the promos talk about how the janam janam ka rishta is a ********* concept.

There are more such gems in the film. When Jai tells Meera (Deepika) after breaking up that she should not get too drunk, because he took advantage of her when she was drunk in their courtship days, she smirks and says she only pretended to be drunk so that he took advantage of her.

Sitting next to Jai, portly, old Veer Singh (Rishi Kapoor) is appalled by the boldness of the lovers. Veer runs a coffee shop where these young ones hang out and is witness to the Jai-Meera breakup. He can’t fathom how two people so much in love can break up only because they want different things in life. He tells Jai, to whom he has taken a liking because he reminds him so much of his younger days, that when he was a young man (Khan again) he married the love of his life even when the odds were stacked against him.

You are transported to a sepia-toned 1965, where the young Veer Singh serenades Harleen. As Veer sits drinking black tea on a Calcutta street of yore, Uttam Kumar stares at you from a black-and-white poster in the background. There are no words spoken between Veer and Harleen, only glances exchanged, and they fall in love.

Jai scoffs at Veer for being so inane. Veer can’t understand why Jai can’t pursue Meera. There is clearly a generation gap. “But why is it necessary that our generation understands yours and vice-versa? Can’t we just be?” Jai asks Veer.

But as Veer narrates to Jai how he finally went about winning over Harleen in spite of the obstacles, Jai finds himself in a spot with his feelings for Meera. She gets married, and he realises he loves her, but it’s too late. Or is it?

Imtiaz Ali must have written the script sitting in a coffee shop, jotting down little conversations he may have overheard from the tables nearby. The screenplay is novel; the treatment, fantastic. The film has Imtiaz Ali’s stamp all over it, whether it is in the confusion of the lovers whether they want to be in a relationship (something he explored in Socha Na Tha), or in hiding feelings for a person knowing he/she wants something else in life (in Jab We Met, Shahid Kapur’s character didn’t tell Geet, played by Kareena Kapoor, his feelings because she wanted to be with another man). Here Meera does not let Jai know what she truly feels about him because she thinks he will abandon his dreams to be with her.

Some such moments irritate you. After a breezy first half, things get complicated post-interval, which is fine, except that most of the complications seem to be unwanted. You sense how the film is going to end, but the wait seems endless. Also, the confusion over the two individuals wanting different things in life is never quite resolved.

Imtiaz Ali deserves credit for pushing the envelope once again. After Jab We Met, there were huge expectations of him, but Imtiaz has not let them deter him from making something that is, frankly, a risky subject. The film may not have an appeal as wide as Jab We Met, or may not even be watched as many times repeatedly on television, but it is testimony to Imtiaz Ali’s brilliance as a storyteller.

The writer-director has now made reading the end credits a joy. He ended both Socha Na Tha and Jab We Met with songs. Here, too, he holds back the energetic Aahun Aahun till the very end, so you come out of the theatre with a spring in your stride.

Padukone delivers the best of her four performances so far (six if you count the double roles in Om Shanti Om and Chandni Chowk To China). Though she does not have scenes that require too many emotions in the pre-interval portions, she impresses with her histrionics in the second half.

Veer Singh had to be Rishi Kapoor. He plays the perfect foil to Khan’s Jai. The actress playing Harleen is cute, almost lovable. But when do the makers plan to tell us who she is? Even the titles don’t give any indication of her existence off screen. It’s nice to see Neetu Singh in a cameo at the end.

Love Aaj Kal is Saif Ali Khan’s best so far. He dons the double role of actor/producer and shows immense maturity in choosing a subject as novel as this one for his debut production. In his double role, as Jai/Veer, Khan is impressive. His character requires him to be humourous, confused, lovelorn, broken, and happy, and he brings all of those emotions into his portrayal of Jai. As the young Veer, however, he springs a real surprise.

Though Love Aaj Kal may not quite be the film you expect it to be, it does not leave you feeling disappointed either. Watch it without too many expectations and you will come back smiling. And if you have wanted to ask someone out for a while, this film is the perfect ice-breaker.

Top Bollywood actors have been praised for making Sikhs look fashionable.

Recent portrayals of turbaned and bearded Sikh men by Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan have garnered praise from the Sikh organisation the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee.

Khan will play a Sikh in the upcoming romance Love Aaj Kal. The main character played by Kumar in box office hit Singh Is Kinng was Sikh.

According to the SGPC, such films are stopping young Sikh men from getting their hair cut.

In an interview with IANS, Bollywood cinematographer and director Manmohan Singh said: “The presence of a Punjabi character makes Bollywood movies more cosmopolitan.

“Due to the presence of a large Punjabi diaspora in America and Europe, movies with Punjabi flavour are easily acceptable among them.”

He added: “I am also thinking of making a Hindi film with a Sikh central character in the near future. Earlier, we had seen that a turbaned character is portrayed in a comical sense to add some humour to the movie, but now audiences have started taking it seriously.”

MUMBAI: Aamir Khan must be disappointed to hear that the aam junta is waiting for Saif Ali Khan’s film Love Aaj Kal, and not his 3 Idiots.

The actor came to know about this bitter truth while he took a break during the shooting of this Raj Kumar Hirani film in Delhi.

According to a source, Aamir eagerly asked the shopkeepers of Connaught Place about films they were looking forward to watch. And all of them replied that it was Love Aaj Kal. Ouch! And what did Aamir do after that. Well, what else, he smiled.

Saif Ali Khan believes in love… period! Be it Aaj or Kal… our Nawab has never failed to fall in love. In a candid chat with Renuka Vyavahare , actor Saif Ali Khan confesses to have matured and evolved over the years when it comes to love in real life clarifying, “It’s unfair to say too much love has been happening in his life!

Love Aaj Kal comes at a time when too much love has been happening in your real life.

(Smiles) It’s unfair to say that there’s too much love happening in my life. You guys (media) is largely responsible for what has been going on in my life.

Love Aaj Kal is your home production, Kareena’s your girlfriend and a seasoned star. Wouldn’t Kareena been a safer bet instead of Deepika?

None of my directors listen to me (laughs). Deepika is a new face. She is very Indian and a mature actor. Her personality grounds my personality in a way what Rani Mukherjee does to me. We are of different types, Deepika is earthy while I am more western and this contrast makes us interesting onscreen.

Newcomer Harleen has been ignored in the promotions, is it a deliberate move?

Main focus of the film is Deepika and I. Harleen plays an important character but it would be misleading to say she plays the lead too.

You play a Sikh in Love Aaj Kal like what Akshay and Salman did recently.

Sardarjis would be proud by my accurate and honourable representation of my Sikh character. I had a dialogue coach who helped me on my Punjabi accent. I haven’t seen Salman but Akshay in Singh Is King was more glamorous and cool; he looked stagy and larger than life while I play the more real, down to earth Sardar. If my Langda Tyagi was genuine because of my diction, this one should be liked too. My beard, trousers everything looks real.

Has the concept of love changed over the years for you in real life too?

I am not that old but may be I’ll write a book on it. I feel you live and learn and you evolve.

There are lot of kisses in Love Aaj Kal.

They are not really intimate scenes as I feel as Indians they make us a bit uncomfortable.

Has Kareena seen Love Aaj Kal?

Yes she has and she liked it.

People compare you to Brangelina.

I am Saif Ali Khan of the Bombay film industry and that sounds fine.

As a producer how has the experience been?

I’ve been a big fan of secret societies. I had thought of Lucifer before but then we settled for Illuminati as my production house’s name. I ensured that people get paid on time and get good food as a producer.

Punjab Cultural And Heritage Board is upset over Saif Ali Khan’s portrayal of a sardar in the forthcoming Love Aaj Kal. But Saif is taking it cool.

Explaining their stand, Charan Singh Sapra, President of Punjabi Cultural And Heritage Board informed a tabloid, “We are objecting on the grounds that Saif is shown with a very trim beard.

Sardars don’t wear this look. While Imtiaz represented the sardars in Jab We Met very well, why has he not done the same in Love Aaj Kal? We have sent a memorandum regarding this to Saif, Imtiaz Ali and Dinesh Vijan (co-producer of Love Aaj Kal).”

“We have also written to the Censor Board not to pass the film until the rectification has been made. Otherwise, the Censor Board will be responsible for the ire of the Sikh community,” he said.

But Saif is confident that he hasn’t portrayed sardars in wrong light.

Saif said, “To begin with, there is nothing to be offended about. In fact, when they see the film, they will be very proud of the way sardars have been depicted. This is the most authentic and romantic sardar ever.”

Saif added, “No one has seen the film yet and so we have decided to show them the film in a couple of days. I am sure once that is done, there will be no problem at all. I understand that in our country we have to keep everyone’s cultural sensitivity in mind and not do anything to upset any community. They just want to be represented well and that is exactly what we have done. There will be no question of reshooting.”

They turned up for film promotions wearing ripped denims, appeared on the cover of the same fashion mag wearing D&G gowns, and are 2 of the most wanted women in Bollywood. The deeper connect one is seeing the other’s cousin, and playing lead opposite the other’s BF. That’s fertile ground for a fashion war

No one was really talking about them in the same breath until the director who gave Kareena Kapoor her biggest hit in 2007 (Jab We Met), decided to cast her boyfriend and Deepika Padukone, in the boyfriend’s debut film as producer. Saif Ali Khan would’ve loved to twist with Kareena in Imtiaz Ali’s forthcoming film, Love Aaj Kal, but the director wouldn’t settle for anyone else as Meera but Deepika.

After surviving yoga in 40 degrees celsius heat, Kareena, who once lived to eat, dropped stones for Tashan, hit the brake on her favourite chips, and quickly slipped into flattering designer wear for fashion mag cover shoots.

A flamboyant layered Dolce & Gabbana yellow-white-purple streaked gown that she sported for Vogue (March 2008) left as many tongues wagging as her bareback cover for Filmfare (February 2008). She is in a hurry, teetering on those heels to celebrate her newfound figure. Her glamazon roles in the recent Tashan and Kambakkht Ishq have established her as fashion icon, hobnobbing with designer brands.

Deepika is an antithesis to this diva. She is young and restrained, propah to the point of being stiff at events, but at effortless ease during photo shoots. Every word, move, smile is a lesson in premeditation. Boring.

Underplaying her innate sensuality, she keeps her sporty side up in easy ballerinas, roomy dresses and sling bags. The former supermodel is fast catching up with Bebo in the race to make it to mag covers. Her tanned torso spliced by a Louis Vuitton monokini on the Harper’s Bazaar April 2009 cover is good enough to beat Kareena’s oomph in an electric blue Lycra dress on the cover of Maxim (July 2009).

Guess who have turned the latest buddies in Bollywood? None other than Akshay Kumar and John Abraham.

Elated with the success of their films Kambakkht Ishq and New York respectively they can’t help singing praises for each other.

The two films, which saw Kareena Kapoor opposite Akshay and Katrina Kaif paired with John, have been responsible for getting the industry out of a slump it had got into since the beginning of 2009.

Akshay Kumar, who is delighted with his Kambakkht Ishq, told IANS: “I am extremely happy for New York and especially John.

The film brought an end to the bad run that Bollywood was facing for such a long time. I’m glad that Kabir (Khan) came up with a well-made film that brought audiences back to theatres.” Akshay and John had worked together in the 2005 laugh riot Garam Masala.

Audiences liked the two together and it went on to become a hit at the box office. John too was effusive in his praise for Akshay. “I love Akshay. When he is happy, I’m also happy. I’m so glad that Kambakkht Ishq is performing so well. He deserved it. He is not just my senior but also a very good man,” John said.

Considering the fact that an exceptional opening for director Sabbir Khan’s Kambakkht Ishq meant a dent in the collections of New York doesn’t it worry John a little? “See, we had a fantastic opening and we have been stable ever since,” John said of New York.

“On a slightly reduced number of shows, we have still been doing quite well. Our percentage occupancy in the screens where New York is running is still quite good. In this way we are still getting good enough patronage from our target audience,” he added.

“People do ask me how I could be singing praises for my peer especially since our films have been released back to back. My answer to them is that you need to have a certain camaraderie to understand something like that. Akshay has been a great friend and he will always be,” John said. He is particularly happy about the appreciation coming from Akshay, who took out time to watch New York.

“After such a busy promotional tour for his own Kambakkht Ishq, he came back to town and saw New York. He was quite vocal about his appreciation for the film and me. It was quite genuine and touching to the heart,” the actor said.

Akshay is all praise not just for New York but says he wants all forthcoming films to succeed.

“Films like New York should be made. It deserves all the success. Now I want upcoming biggies like Love Aaj Kal and Kaminey amongst others to do well too.

We should all be happy in each other’s success. Only then will the industry grow. We should allow each other to perform well so that we also continue to do well. Industry needs continuous inflow of money,” Akshay reasoned.

Before 2009 comes to a close, Akshay would be seen in De Dana Dhan and Blue. On the other hand John’s Hook Ya Crook is currently slated for a December release while the other film he is set to begin shooting for is Abbas Tyrewala’s 1:800 Love.

He might have enthralled the audience with his Ole Ole and Aashiq Awara dance steps, but Saif Ali Khan admits that he has two left feet and needs training to improve his dancing skills.

And it was none other than Kareena who made him accept his weakness.

“I guess I was in denial,” Saif admits sheepishly. “But after seeing how well Kareena dances and how clumsily I managed some steps for Love Aaj Kal, I made up my mind that I needed to learn the Bollywood dancing.”

It was only after he goofed up on an item number from his home production that he decided to take dance lessons.

“Right after the release of Love Aaj Kal, I’m going to be taking a full course,” he says.

It’s quite ironic in the sense that Kareena got her dance inspiration from ex-beau Shahid and now Saif has got inspired from his ladylove. Love is truly miraculous!

Deepika Padukone is a girl in love and she can understand her Love Aaj Kal co-star Saif Ali Khan’s predicament.

She knows that when Saif constantly talks of wanting Kareena Kapoor by his side (in real or reel) he is only doing so because “he is a man in love.”

For a 20-something, Deepika has her head firmly screwed onto her shoulders. And she can handle most situations life dishes out to nubile actresses her age with a maturity that is far beyond her years. “Listen,” she says, “when Saif talks of wanting Kareena as a co-star all the time, I know where it is coming from.

I spoke to him about it; and I know what he actually means is – like all couples in love – Kareena and he wish to spend maximum time with each other.

It would be a similar thing for Ranbir Kapoor and me. However, the two of us don’t push for each other professionally. If a filmmaker wishes to cast us together, we’d be happy to consider it. But otherwise, we keep our personal and professional lives completely apart.”

Deepika, however, confesses that she is extremely nervous about her next film. “I was just as nervous before Om Shanti Om. There are butterflies in my stomach again,” says the gorgeous girl, who is making waves internationally as well.

Recent media reports had Fast & Furious director Rob Cohen praising Deepika’s beauty and talent. A gaga Cohen had said, “Deepika is even more beautiful than Angelina Jolie.” Omigawd! What do we have here? A besotted director?

She laughs and says, “It is sweet of him to say this. I was introduced to Cohen at the screening of Chandni Chowk to China in Los Angeles five months ago. And I’m totally unprepared for the praise he has lavished on me.”

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, who is ready with his debut production venture Love Aaj Kal, was inspired by Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood to get into the business of making movies.

Saif is a huge fan of the Hollywood legend and is quite fascinated by his work.

“Once, when Saif was reading Clint’s interviews, it was mentioned that he was planning to start a production house. When Saif read this, he was quite inspired by it. He was shooting outdoors and in the middle of the night he called up Dinesh Vijan and told him about the whole idea of launching a production house. Saif had worked with Dinesh during his movie Being Cyrus,” said a source close to the actor.

Love Aaj Kal is directed by Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali and stars Saif and Deepika Padukone in the lead.
