Farhan Akhtar : "In Kartik Calling Kartik, I'm totally out of character"

http://s.chakpak.com/se_images/88481_-1_564_none/farhan-akhtar-wallpaper.jpg
Farhan Akhtar's latest starrer Kartik Calling Kartik is turning out to be more fun than any of his previous starrers. Admits Farhan, "My earlier films were somehow connected with the entertainment industry, and therefore, they had a direct or indirect bearing on my life. But in Kartik Calling Kartik, I'm totally out of character. Also, in all my films so far, I play a troubled introvert. In Kartik..., I start off as an introvert and then become a totally flamboyant guy. It's fun."

The fun element spilt over on the sets of Kartik Calling Kartik on Sunday when Farhan's co-star Deepika Padukone decided to end the controversy about how tall she is. Says Farhan, "So far, I presumed she was taller. I had even measured her height on my talk show 'Oye! It's Friday' and I was okay with the fact that she looked taller than me. I've absolutely no problem being shorter than my heroine." But, on Sunday, Deepika challenged the view. "She made me stand next to her. And to my surprise she turned out to be no taller! In fact, maybe I'm a half-inch taller than her. Deepika says she isn't as tall as she looks. It comes from having long legs, I guess."

Farhan admits he's having a ball shooting for Kartik... "But, given a chance, I'd like to direct a film this year. Unfortunately, Voice From The Sky didn't work out. And I start Don 2 next year."

While Farhan's father, Javed Akhtar, scripted Don's remake, its sequel was Farhan's idea. "When I opted for an open ending in Don, I wasn't leaving room for a sequel. I just wanted to show that the protagonist is cleverer than everyone else. But now, that ending comes in handy to carry the story forward into a sequel."

Farhan confirms the film will star Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra. "But there're lots of supporting parts that will change."

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

Shahid Kapoor: I'm waiting for someone special

Bollywood’s man with lightening in his feet, Shahid Kapoor seems pretty chilled out and unfazed by controversies in real life. In town to shoot for an untitled film opposite Anushka Sharma, Shahid seems very comfortable in his skin. While he’s reluctant to discuss about his private life or his rumoured amours with Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Sania Mirza, the teen heartthrob says he’s “learnt to take all the rumours with a pinch of salt” and claims he’s just a “regular” young guy after pack-up. Excerpts from an exclusive interview: Kaminey and Dil Bole Hadippa... are set to hit the screens. Yeah. Their release dates are pretty close to each other. Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...

Aamir Khan: I love Sachin Tendulkar's intensity

What is amazing about Sachin Tendulkar is that for 20 years he has been able to maintain a level. There has been no dip in his abilities, his application or his passion for the game. I would say very few people could last this long. I've played cricket and believe me, you can't get out of bed for one week after one gruelling match. I saw him for the first time in 1988 when I was shooting at the Brabourne Stadium and he wasn't playing for the Indian team yet. The team was practising at the nets and I was chatting with Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and a few others. At a distance I could see this kid batting. I was surprised to see that he was middling the ball; he looked so small, and so young. I was zapped. I wondered who this little boy was, who was being allowed to practise at the nets with the Indian cricket team. So I asked Kapil and Vengsarkar, “Who's he? How come I don't know?” They told me he was a new guy called Sachin Tendulkar, who was being seriously consi...
