Watch Akshay and Sonakshi in 3D

"Shirish Kunder has given himself as many as nine months for the post production of Joker that would involve inclusion of VFX as well as getting the 3D effects bang on. Yes, this film too is basically going through a conversion, just as was the case in Ra.One and Don 2, but there is a difference. Decision to convert them into 3D for both the Shahrukh Khan starers was taken very late in the day; in fact much after they had been shot. On the other hand, Joker was announced as a 3D film since Shirish along with the film's lead and co-producer, Akshay Kumar, wanted that from the start", says a senior crew member.

This means that each and every frame of Joker was designed in such a manner that during the post production, the conversion from 2D into 3D brings in the right results. Those in the technical know-how of 3D would agree that for the best effects on the big screen, every shot should have a certain depth to it. While Ra.One and Don 2 didn't necessarily have this luxury around the story boarding for 3D since the film had already been shot in a conventional manner, Shirish went through each and every frame and designed it well in advance so that he could play around with technical wizardry for the best 3D effects.

Says Shirish who has closely observed all major 3D movies released this year, including Bollywood's own Ra.One, Don 2 as well as Haunted, "I shoot with wide angle lenses with full depth of field. This means that in every frame you can see full details for as long as your vision goes. Only if you capture full depth of field can you create various layers for 3D."

He does add that while he is being aided by 3D technology this time around, that's also his conventional way of shooting, case in point being his debut film Jaan-E-Mann where especially his well choreographed and pictured song, 'Humko Maloom Hai', was noticed for this very aspect. "Yes, that's my normal shooting style which also happens to be very 3D friendly", he says, "I had shot Jaan-E-Mann also in wide angle which allowed me to capture scale and grandeur. In case of Joker, the visuals have only grown bigger."

Vivek Oberoi: I am a Tamilian

  Vivek Oberoi:-  I am a Tamilian Vivek Oberoi has said he has great affinity for Tamil Nadu Movies and that he makes sure that he visits his grand-parents in Chennai regularly. Vivek Oberoi in an interview to Tamil media earlier had said ‘Naanum Thamizhkarandhan’ (means ‘ I am also a Tamilian ’). Vivek Oberoi earned the good will of Tamil Nadu people when he adopted a Tamil Nadu village devastated by the killer Tsunami in 2004. Vivek’s next two big films have a solid Tamil connection. The immediate ‘ Prince ’ is being dubbed and released in Tamil on April 9. The following ‘ Raktha Charithra ’ by Ram Gopal Varma in which Suriya is also playing an important role is a multi lingual and that too will be released as a direct Tamil version.

When Suriya and Vikram are learning Hindi for their Bollywood debuts, Vivek Oberoi comes to Kollywood already knowing Tamil. For More

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.

Bollywood: John Abraham’s Slum Connection

Bollywood New Movie Slumdog Millionaire has definitely made the slums of Mumbai a little popular. Perhaps this is why they are so welcoming to every director who wants to make a film on their lifestyle. John Abraham’s fortcoming film Hook Ya Crook is also one of those films shot in the Chikalwadi Chawl of Mumbai. This film is directed by David Dhawan and John Abraham playes a cricketer who resides in the chawl. In a song John and Genelia D’Souza dance to a tapori-ish number with the typical tapori dance steps. The residents of the slum were delighted to see the stars around and cheered for the unit as they worked. John Abraham added to their delight by giving them autographs and taking pictures with them.
