Farhan Akhtar and Hrithik Roshan in "Running With The Bulls"

Farhan Akhtar and Hrithik Roshan's roles in Zoya Akhtar’s Running With The Bulls will offer them something new. Farhan Akhtar’s character Karthik in KCK was that of an introverted loner, while Hrithik plays a solitary paraplegic in Guzaarish. They have prepared intensely for their roles, with Hrithik gaining weight and moving around in a wheelchair and Farhan shutting himself from the world for almost a month. But they don’t have to do anything like that for Zoya Akhtar’s Running With The Bulls. Zoya Akhtar’s film will be shot in Spain and will help the actors live it up. The film is about male bonding, ala Dil Chahta Hai. It’s a fun-filled road film about male bonding. Abhay Deol plays the third best friend. While Hrithik and Farhan are buddies, having worked together on Lakshya, Farhan wants to hang out with Abhay so that the camaraderie in the film is natural. Farhan Akhtar says, ‘I think I am destined to return to male bonding films as an actor and filmmaker. I am looking forwa

Karthik Calling Karthik Movie Review

The idea of a mystical assistance to succeed through life's inevitable disappointments is quite a fascinating one. Genie in the lamp, Fairy Godmothers or any wish-granting medium is an upshot of this peculiar human fantasy. Karthik Calling Karthik , too, stems from this deep-rooted desire. Only our eponymous hero (Farhan Akhtar ) isn't Aladdin, Cinderella or Bruce Nolan (of Almighty fame). A stereotypical weak geek at the receiving end of his scowling landlord (Vipin Sharma doing what he does best -- snap) and growling boss (Ram Kapoor with his snarling skills should sign up for Wolf Man), he's pretty much invisible for everyone else in the world, including, the leggy colleague in a pencil skirt (Deepika Padukone ) to whom he's written a thousand plus unsent drafts of affection. Basically, he is Amol Palekar of Chhoti Si Baat, sans the goofy smile and mysterious past. Dude seems to be in desperate need of Cinkara (Hamdard ka tonic, anyone?). But this is Farhan's pr

Katrina Kaif & Hrithik Roshan Together?

These days, Katrina Kaif is picking roles that will provide her the chance to prove her mettle as an actress. She is rumoured to be a part of Zoya Akhtar’s movie which stars Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol and Hrithik Roshan. If she is indeed a part of the said film, Katrina Kaif will be the only female lead. It will be an achievement of sorts because audiences will see her cast opposite Hrithik Roshan for the first time. While Katrina has refused to talk about the film point blank, Farhan mentioned that even though it’s early to talk about the film, if Katrina is a part of it, she will be Hrithik’s love interest. Abhay and Farhan have no love interests in the film. He expressed that the film is dependent upon the bonding between the three co-stars. If Katrina does this film, not only will it be her first time working with Hrithik, but she will also be working with a woman director for the first time. The film will go on floors in April.

Farhan Akhtar : Don 2 is being written by three Don fans and not my father

Known to be utterly gregarious and accessible, Farhan has suddenly withdrawn into a shell. Before well-wishers could presume the worst, the truth has come out in the open. His current acting assignment, Kartik Versus Kartik with Deepika Padukone which is almost done provoked these withdrawal symptoms. Since the part requires him to be a lonely brooder, Farhan has lately switched off his phone and become almost inaccessible to the world outside. "It was the nature of the character I was playing. He's a guy lost in his world. So I was making an effort to isolate myself," he says. Friends found Farhan's behaviour strange since usually he is so reachable and gregarious. "Lately I've just been switching off from the world for the sake of my character. If you want to call it method acting, so be it," says Farhan. Farhan won't be cast in Abhishek Kapoor's second film, though it's being produced by Farhan's company. "Gattu has very specific

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

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

Farhan Akhtar gives Shilpa Shetty lessons in cricket management

Bollywoods Multi-faceted star Farhan Akhtar pulled off a joke on actress Shilpa Shetty by gifting her a book titled How To Manage A Cricket Team Without Creating Controversy authored by former Indian coach Greg Chappell. Considering Shilpa has recently joined the bandwagon of actresses taking part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with her boyfriend Raj Kundra buying a stake in the Rajasthan Royals, the actor-filmmaker-singer presented the book to her on his talk show Oye! It's Friday. "Both Farhan and Shilpa are very bindaas (fun-loving and carefree) people. And with Shilpa having joined the IPL this year, Farhan made a little joke out of it by giving this book," a source from the unit told IANS. Apart from this incident, the forthcoming episode of the show, to be aired Friday at 10 pm on NDTV Imagine, would also reveal Farhan's new look for his next film Kartik Calling Kartik. The actor sports a clean and cropped hairdo like his childhood friend Abhishek Bachchan&#

Bollywood Movie Review: Luck By Chance

Bollywood New Movie Luck By Chance, Zoya Akhtar’s debut directorial venture, seems to be the talk of the town. The film has been given given good rating by leading newspapers in India and they have commented that Zoya Akhtar is a director to watch for. They have also praised Farhan Akhtar’s and Konkona Sen’s performances. “The highpoint of the film are its performances. Both Farhan and Konkona are complete naturals before the camera, just as Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia prove that vintage never does lose its flavour, does it! The jibes are gentle, the tenor is fond, yet firm. But most importantly, the characters are completely real: feisty and flawed, even as the end is exhilarating,” writes Nikhat Kazmi of Times Of India. Film critic Taran Adarsh writes, “LUCK BY CHANCE taps almost every important facet of Bollywood and presents assorted characters you’ve encountered some time in life: An over-ambitious aspirant who knows to make the right moves; an actress trying hard to get that

Movie Review of Bollywood Movie Luck By Chance

Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Konkona Sen Sharma, Isha Sharvani, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Kapoor, Aly Khan, Sheeba Chaddha Director: Zoya Akhtar Is being a good actor enough to make you a star? In Zoya Akhtar's detailed sketch of Bollywood and its colourful, conflicted denizens, the most important ingredient in a wannabe's portfolio seems to be that elusive thing called luck. `Luck By Chance', a wonderful colloquialism which you hear only in Mumbai, opens a wide window on our dream merchants : strange-yet-familiar characters we've met in fanzines, other films-on-film-people, on TV shows. What makes this debut of Zoya Akhtar, daughter of Javed, sister of Farhan, less than what it could have been, though, is in the way `Luck By Chance' unspools—shutting between the generic and specific and back again can sometimes diffuse a film : this one, the latest in the line of Bollywood-looking-at-Bollywood ensembles, needed to have been both newer, and sharper

Zoya Akhtar Directing Farhan, Hrithik Roshan, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan

We have seen Bollywood New Star Farhan Akhtar weave his magic into cinema. Now, it's the turn of his older sister Zoya Akhtar. Her directorial debut Luck By Chance looks very promising, and stars a host of actors leading with Farhan and Konkona Sen Sharma. Zoya Akhtar tells Syed Firdaus Ashraf more about the film on Bollywood, and how she convinced Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan to make appearances in it. What is Luck by Chance about? It is about two characters -- a struggler and a starlet. Their struggle to become respectable, their relationship with each other and how it changes their life forever. The underlying theme of the story is success and failure and how we view ourselves. Why did you choose to dwell on the subject of failure and success? I have grown up in a place where success and failure are so polarized. How people are constantly being told by the people around them, by the media, that they have made it or not made it or they are losers or they are winn

Farhan Akhtar's auto by chance

Farhan Akhtar, sister Zoya Akhtar and producer of their flick Luck by Chance Ritesh Sidhwani are all set to take you on a ride - a free one. Next time you are hiring an auto in Mumbai, look closely if it is Farhan’s “Auto by Chance”. The auto promotion of the film will be carried out by 10 autos who will massively promote Luck By Chance and if you are lucky you will get a free ride in the auto. Director Zoya Akhtar says, “It’ll be great fun!” Producer Ritesh says,”Most Mumbaiites use autos. My four-year-old son prefers autos to cars. When we go out, he insists on hiring an auto and my car has to follow!” The promotion is being run in conjunction with a radio station. One passenger will be interviewed live by an RJ and go on air with his experience of getting lucky and enjoying a free ride. “Isn’t that cool?”

Bollywoood New Actor Farhan Akhtar to be given pink slip on OYE

Bollywood Actor Farhan Akhtar the current host of chat show Oye! It’s Friday will soon be shown the door, as the show is not having a good run. Apparently the NDTV Imagine bosses are keen to replace Farhan Akhtar, their first choice was coffee man Karan Johar who turned down the offer because of his directorial commitments. A source says, “It’s a new format and it’s Farhan Akhtar’s first time on TV, so we expected it to pick up slowly but it doesn’t seem to be working.” The production house also blames Farhan Akhtar’s non-availability of dates for shooting, “The production people have to constantly keep running after him to secure dates. There’s an understanding that he won’t be able to shoot when he has to promote his films or work on new projects.”
