Nana Patekar’s loss is Prakash Raj’s gain!


There was a strong buzz that Nana Patekar was approached to play the main villain opposite Aazaan-fame star Sachiin Joshi for his forthcoming film Mumbai Mirror.

But inside sources reveal that Prakash Raj has been signed on for the pivotal role. The powerhouse performer, who happens to be the flavour of the year with Singham, is also very excited about his role in the film. And why not! After all the Jaykant Shikre of Singham will now get to play Shetty; the most dreaded character in Mumbai Mirror.

But instead of a righteous cop like Bajirao Singham, Shetty will clash with the raw energy of a quirky whimsical and corrupt cop played by Sachiin Joshi.

The realistic commercial potboiler mirrors the Mumbai underbelly and revolves around the nexus between powerful corrupt dance bar lords and the Mumbai Police. Directed by Ankush Bhatt, of Bhindi Bazaar Inc. fame, the movie has some scintillating music by Anand Raj Anand. It’s expected to release in September 2012.

Kashmera Shah’s play goes the Hollywood way!


Many movies have shot two to three different endings and climax sequences and decided which one to add in their projects at the last minute.

It’s a common practice in Hollywood to shoot two movie endings, take the opinions of focus groups and a cross section of people and retain the one more accepted. Bollywood too has caught up with a similar trend off late.

But what surprises us now is that Kashmera Shah’s latest play Tere Ghar Ke Samne has adopted a similar practice, albeit with a difference.

Over a few summer Sundays spread across weeks, Kash’s play has been running to packed houses at various theatre outlets, while experimenting with not two, but three different endings. Almost every week, the viewers get to see a different climax to her play. Whoa!

What’s more! What started as a one-off experiment is now becoming the norm. “Earlier we thought we’d do this for a couple of weeks and then stick to the end the audiences find the best. But this experimenting process gets the actors and audiences alike so kicked, that we are continuing with it,” reveals Kash.

Thanks to this, a select percentage of audiences have even returned for an extra round of the play, just to see how it will end in their second outing. We are often amazed how you manage to begin such whacky trends Kash, but it’s cool as long as you continue to amuse and entertain. More power to you and your wackiness girl!

Evelyn Sharma gets a Vidya Balan connect with Euphoria!


Even before actress Vidya Balan made it big in Bollywood, she was a known face in the industry, thanks to her association with the band Euphoria. Now, newbie Evelyn Sharma is hoping, the same magic will rub on her as well.

The half-German-half-Indian international supermodel, who is working in a couple of Hindi flicks, including the Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone-starrer Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, says, “When I was approached to perform for a Euphoria video opposite Palash Sen, I was very excited.”

“They've introduced many popular actresses, including Vidya Balan and Neha Dhupia. Moreover, I'm a huge fan of rock music, so I was more than thrilled to do a slow rock song video with them,” she adds. Like most Euphoria numbers earlier, the recently released video is also getting rave reviews.

Meanwhile, apart from Ayan Mukerji's Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani under Karan Johar's banner Dharma Productions, Evelyn’s is also gearing up for Manish Tiwary's Issaq opposite Prateik Babbar and veteran filmmaker Pramod Chakravorty's grandson Prateek Chakravorty’s debut film From Sydney With Love.
