Sanjay Gupta all Set to enter Record Books

Sanjay Gupta all Set to enter Record Books - Bollywood-News.In

Prolific Film Maker Sanjay Gupta may well be heading towards a spot amongst the elite in the Record Books. Sanjay Gupta is perhaps the first every producer in the history of modern day Bollywood who has enjoyed the release of two of his movies on the same day PANKH and THE GREAT INDIAN BUTTERFLY. What's more, he now also holds the distinction of having his films in two different languages - Hindi and English respectively.

"Really, am I the first ever film maker who is enjoying this feat? Well, I didn't know that", says Film Maker Sanjay Gupta as he is genuinely surprised when informed about this coincidence, "It wasn't planned this way though. Both the films were supposed to be released earlier though. However, as luck would have it, now PANKH as well as THE GREAT INDIAN BUTTERFLY have arrived on 2nd April."

While for a producer, this is a definite first, there have been at least a couple of instances before when a director has enjoyed two of his films arriving on the same day. More than a decade back, David Dhawan saw the release of DEEWANA MASTANA (Anil Kapoor, Govinda, Juhi Chawla) and MR. & MRS. KHILADI (Akshay Kumar, Juhi Chawla) releasing together on 10th October 1997. A few years back, Priyadarshan saw a double bill in the form of GARAM MASALA (Akshay Kumar, John Abraham) and KYON KI (Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor), both of which arrived on the same day (2nd November 2005). Expectedly, only one of the two releases survived at the box office with DEEWANA MASTANA and GARAM MASALA coming up trumps.

However, the situation is different with the twin releases of this week as Sanjay Gupta is quite relaxed about the eventual outcome of both the films. "These are films which are a creatively enriching experience and I am sure my directors Sudipto Chattopadhyaya and Sarthak Dasgupta thoroughly enjoyed making them. These are art films and if box office comes calling, then well it would only be an icing on the cake", concludes Gupta.

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. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
