Amitabh Remembers His Old Friend Smita Patil
Almost three decades after his near fatal injury during the filming of a fight scene for the film 'Coolie', Amitabh Bachchan revealed that actress Smita Patil had a premonition about the accident a day before it took place.
"Smita was a unique lady and she had a premonition about my accident," Amitabh told reporters in Mumbai.
"I was shooting for ‘Coolie' in Bangalore in 1982. One night at about 1am I got a call from Smita. She said, ‘I'm sorry to disturb you Amit-ji, but are you okay?'. I said yes I'm fine. Then she said, ‘I had a really bad dream and I just wanted to find out if you were okay'. Next morning, I had that accident on the sets of ‘Coolie'. It was just unbelievable," Amitabh said.
"Then, throughout my two-three months in the hospital, she was a regular visitor and even when I came back home, she used to come every evening to inquire if I was doing well. I can never forget that," he added.
The 68-year-old walked down memory lane and remembered the incident while talking about Smita's son Prateik, who will be working with the actor in Prakash Jha's forthcoming film 'Aarakshan'.
Amitabh said that working with Prateik will be an emotional experience for him.
"This film is going to be my first association with Prateik. Whenever I see him, I think about his mother. The resemblance, the attitude, is very much like her. I'm afraid that it's going to be a little emotional for me working with him because Smita was a very dear friend," he said.
Aarakshan - 2011's big starrer
After the blockbuster film RAAJNEETI, Prakash Jha is all set to begin his next AARAKSHAN, a high voltage drama based on one of the most controversial policies of caste based reservations in government jobs and educational institutions.
Laying to rest all media speculations, Prakash Jha, in an event, unveiled the power packed star cast of his film. Amitabh Bachan, Saif Ali Khan, Manoj Bajpayee, Deepika Padukone and Prateik Babbar form the cast of AARAKSHAN, making it one of the biggest multi-starrers of coming year.
Says the sorted filmmaker Prakash Jha, "AARAKSHAN has an amazing array of actors. They are some of the most talented people in the industry and I am confident that all of them together in AARAKSHAN, will create magic."
Saif and Deepika Are Back Once Again
he Love Aaj Kal couple, Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan, is back. They will star in a film to be produced by Saif's banner Illuminati Films and will start shooting in April 2011. The film was earlier supposed to star Imran Khan in lead and was to be produced by Dinesh Vijan but as it turns out, Saif is back in the project in the capacity of both, producer and actor. The untitled project has been scripted by Imtiaz Ali (Love Aaj Kal, Jab We Met) and will be directed by Homi Adajania (Being Cyrus). It will be shot in London, Spain and Delhi.
On bringing up parallels between this film and Love Aaj Kal, director Homi Adajania says, "It's a similar space from where Love Aaj Kal left off and then it roller-coasters from there. Imtiaz has given us a hysterical and open-minded celebration of relationships that explore the various choices that life may offer... and what people are willing to surrender for love or sacrifice for friendship."
Saif admits, "I was waiting for a script as contemporary and relevant as this to come my way and it has been worth the wait. I'm very excited about this story; it is romantic, funny and has a great balance of drama and entertainment. I've wanted to do a love story with a modern sensibility and treatment and I know that Homi will give us exactly that. I'm also looking forward to my pairing with Deepika again. She has a fantastic role in this and I think she has grown impressively since Love Aaj Kal and will handle it very well."
Deepika's Hot Magazine Photo Shoot
Deepika Padukone is an extremely attractive woman. Her pictures are for more beautiful than her face on the screen.
Messy Episode
After reading about Sonam Kapoor & her sister, I need to make some clarification about what I wrote few days ago. When I watched that particular episode of Koffee with Karan, which created a lot of mess, I realized that the media is the biggest bitch. Bitch # 2 is of course Karan Johar. Bitch # 3 is Deepika beyond any reasonable doubt. Sonam is not at all a bitch & Rishi is simply mad for jumping in without any valid reason. Ranbir Kapoor is certainly not a victim. Whatever those 2 girls said could have been easily ignored by both Rishi Kapoor & Ranbir.
I don’t think Sonam is bitchy & vicious. She didn’t make nasty comments. Yeah she doesn’t think while talking, but she’s spontaneous. Unlike Deepika, she didn’t have anything against Ranbir as such.
Shobha De is the kind of person who doesn’t spare anyone she’s not friends with. The kids of her hot shot friends are always better actors. Ever since Aishwarya has become a part of Bachchan family, Shobha De is praising her like anything. Oh yes why the hell am I talking about her…actually she made some vicious remarks about Sonam, Imran Khan, Deepika when they entered the industry. And Sonam at least has the guts to say that she was hurt & Shobha De herself writes bad books, why does she find faults in others!
Deepika didn’t miss any opportunity of throwing mud at Ranbir. Although she said that she came out of that relationship very happy & strong, but at the same time, she couldn’t help being bitchy wherever she can. A happy & strong person doesn’t need to bitch about the past. Only wounded & hurt people do that. We all know it, cause at one point or another in life, we taste it. When Deepika went with Sonam to some spa, she said that Ranbir had insecurity about the entire thing. She made it clear to even idiots that Ranbir was never faithful. Cheating comes naturally to him…that’s how Deepika painted him. And he’s not a good bf…he needs to work on his skills.
Ranbir Kapoor doesn’t have much sex appeal. In fact we have seen much better guys in Pakistan. You see Veena Malik is not the only Pakistani thing. You may have experienced her, but we know better. We have seen better faces. Sexy guys do exist in Pakistan & I can bet my life on it. And you must have seen Ali Zafar. That’s what we call good-looking. It’s another thing he doesn’t have a good voice. But I have heard what is sexy & I would give anything to hear it again. It’s that sexy.
Now coming back to Ranbir’s sex appeal…the point is Deepika was his gf & she made it seem as if he’s such a piece of shit. Obviously she hasn’t forgiven him & she has a terrible grudge against him. But it never occurred to her that she was telling the world that she herself has low standards. How could you fall for a guy who is so very unattractive, to begin with? And later on she has issues with his sex appeal. This is absurd. Ask any average female & she would tell you that Ranbir has either 0 or -1 sex appeal. But Deepika couldn’t have been one of them I guess. She must have really adored this guy to waste so much time on him.
Moreover, I don’t think that it was required on the part of Rishi Kapoor to make such big statements that he was even thrown out of a film.
Last but not least, somebody must tell Karan Johar that he doesn’t speak good English. We are tired of hearing ‘both the 2 of you.’ It’s amusing that he’s all the time making fun of people like Kangana & Rakhi Sawant. I think he’s a far bigger bitch than the word bitch.
PS Guys I made a mistake. This is what Karan Johar often says on his show:
'I am loving THE both of you!'
Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se Premier Photos
I was waiting to have a glimpse at the much talked about premier of Khelein Hum Jee Jan Se with the Bachans and many more. Everybody looks so ancient here and not necessarily good.
Aishwarya again looks like an aunty and who was quite enthusiastic to show off her love and support for her husband.
Deepika in a red sari. I can't understand why she looks so old suddenly. I think it's her hair that give her this look. Whenever she has an bun or upto hair done she looks quite old.
Priyanka Chopra looks a bit heavy here...something like our Veena Malik.
Hrithik and his wife Suzanne. After watching last nights true pictures of the hollywood actresses, I believe Hrithik is the only actor in the Indian cinema with genuinely beautiful looks.
Of course, since Deepika was part of the project Siddharth Malya was very much there.
Sonali Bendre.
Abhishek all changed and proud.
Aishwarya more excited to promote her husband's picture than she was while promoting Guzaarish or some of her own films. A powerful woman she is.
That's Bhayashree and her son I believe.
That's Deepak Tijori in the middle. I don't think you would have recognized him.
Deepika and Siddharth make an entry together.
Deepika and Abhishek, the main cast members of the movie. Standing tall.
Deepika's mummy and daddy standing with Abhishek and Asutosh Gowarikar. Her dad's quite smart.
Deepika standing with Ayan, the poor guy whom Rishi Kapoor has given an ultimatum to choose either his son Ranbir Kapoor or Karan Johar for his next project.
