Ready to face ridicule for ‘Jodha Akbar’: Ekta Kapoor

Join us on Facebook 

Mumbai, June 11 (IANS) Bold and daring Ekta Kapoor, who is ready with her first historical show “Jodha Akbar”, says it is an apt time to tell the story and adds that she is ready to face any kind of criticism for it.

She has experimented on the small screen with all kind of genres such as drama, romance, thrill, horror and even kitchen politics. “Jodha Akbar” marks her maiden encounter with history and she feels “the beauty about history is about being open to perception”.

“I know I will be putting myself up to a lot of ridicule, lot of appreciation also, but a creative person scared of that will never grow in life,” Eka said here Monday at the launch of the show.

Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker had already visited the subject in his magnum opus “Jodhaa Akbar” for the big screen with Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in the title roles. The film won five Filmfare awards besides other noted honours.

Produced by Balaji Telefilms, “Jodha Akbar” is set to go on air June 18 on Zee TV.

Ekta feels it is the right time to narrate the story of Akbar, who became a soldier and a king at a tender age of 14.

“It’s a story about love in the time of hate. It’s a story about religious and cultural battle that was won by love and I really find ‘Jodha Akbar’ a fine example, true or not, that people need to see today,” said Ekta.

So far she has produced successful shows “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi”, “Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii”, “Kasautii Zindagii Kay”, “Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii”, “Kahiin to Hoga”, “Kasamh Se”, and “Kkusum”, among others.

In “Jodha Akbar”, actor Rajat Tokas, best known for “Dharti Ka Veer Yodha Prithviraj Chauhan”, will be seen playing Akbar, while Paridhi Sharma has been cast as Jodha.

The show will capture the intriguing journey of the royal couple’s love for each other that had, in fact, begun with intense hatred. What started as a marriage based on political power-play evolved into something more meaningful eventually!

“Love in the time of hate, love that changed humanity and whole era, how a cruel king became a lover and, therefore, became understanding and accepting all religions. It’s a story that our time needs to hear,” said Ekta.

My kids are still very innocent, completely untouched by glamour world : Madhuri Dixit

Dancing Diva Madhuri Dixit is back on small screen with another season of ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’. She is the reference point when it comes to dance. I was thrilled when I caught up with the charismatic actress with a dazzling pearly smile. Excerpts of interview:

What is new in this season of Jhalak?

We have associated Jhalak with my online dance academy, 'Dance with Madhuri'. On Jhalak, we will teach seven steps in a week. You can learn and upload the steps into my website. We will see it, if someone is good, he/ she gets a reward. The better ones get to come on the show, while the really good ones will get a chance to dance with me. So this time Jhalak is not only for the celebrities but also for the aam janta.

Do you agree when we say that post Madhuri-Era we haven’t seen dancer like you?

That’s your love..that’s your thought (laughs), but I don't endorse it completely. Everybody has their own personality on screen. When you see Priyanka dancing it’s different, she gets her own style. Be it Katrina or any other actress. Everyone has different dancing style. So I think you have to look in that way.

Nowadays who do you think is the best dancer in Bollywood?

Hrithink Roshan, I love his dancing. Recently I danced with Ranbir Kapoor, he also dances very well. The kind of energy he gets on the floor is wonderful.

                                         

What about best female dancer in Bollywood?

Katrina Kaif is good, I like Priyanka Chopra also. After watching Band Baja And Baraat I thought Anushka Sharma dances very well.

Who is your biggest critic?

I am big critic of myself. Whenever I see myself onscreen I think maybe I could have done it even better.

At this stage of your career, what is that one dance form that you want to learn?

I wanted to learn tap dancing and did a little bit of it in Stardust awards; we added a few tap dancing elements. But when I see Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, I feel I should have learn this also.

Is there any reality show that you watch?

I like American Idol. I like to watch that. I love the singers who come on the show.

You have recorded a song with your mom in ‘ Gulab Gang’. How did you convince her?

It just happened. They wanted a voice for a particular sequence, not a proper song. A couple of instruments play in the background and they wanted to make it realistic, so when the director asked me, we would like you to do it. I thought about it and agreed.

The artistic talent what I have is because of my mother. She is interested in music. She had four children but still did MA in music. She couldn't learn dance but made her daughters learn it. All those things we have got from her.  I tricked my mother (laughs). I just told her to come along as I was recording.  I quietly took her along and asked her ‘just sing one line for me na mamma’. She agreed, after which I said 'Mom, you have made your debut at 80!' (laughs).

How was it working with Juhi Chawla in Gulaab Gang?

She is a very good actress herself and we have very nice scenes together. Bahut mazaa aaya saath mein kaam karte hue..

You are doing films, judging reality show and overseeing household work. How do you manage you time?

Karna padta hai like any other working lady. I think before making my schedules. You just have to be more organized..

How did your children react when they saw you dance number Ghagra from ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’?

The first time they saw the song on TV, they came running to me and said 'Mom, you are on TV'. They are still very innocent, completely untouched by glamour world and don't understand it fully. But they were happy that their mother is on TV.

What kind of films you are looking forward to do.

I am looking forward for more challenging roles. Like right now I am doing Gulabi Gang. We finished shooting for the movie, production work is on. I am also doing Dedh-Ishqiya.

You have lost weight. Was that for a role in any film?

I have lost weight to keep myself healthy (laughs). Secondly, I have to be seen on screen, and I have to be slim because the screen adds a lot of weight.  Thirdly, in our profession, we have to look after ourself because I have to dance and be fit.

How do you keep fit?

Eat very healthy. A workout is very important. don't starve but I believe in a good balanced diet. I have five small meals in a day, each meal after every three hours.

Was Ali Zafar’s Phalke Award snatched because of his Pakistani origin?

It has been reported that someone at the Tulip Star Hotel in Juhu, Mumbai, snatched the Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Award trophy from the hands of Pakistani singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar and ran away with it.

Which raises the pertinent question – was it because he is a Pakistani actor working in the Indian film industry? “In any story of scandal such as this, its not the who, how, where, what and when, which is as important as the ‘why’,” remarks Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar. “If that ‘why’ can be answered in this sorry scenario too, the riddle can also be solved,” he adds. Dale has known many celebrities who have gone through similar helpless circumstances in huge crowds and sympathizes with Ali Zafar.

Apart from having handled the media for top of the line Bollywood names like Hrithik Roshan, Govinda, Shilpa Shetty and Priyanka Chopra earlier, the publicist has also looked after the PR for Pakistani superstar Meera for quite some time.

Even Pakistani starlet Veena Malik gained popularity in India when she got invited on India’s biggest reality show Bigg Boss because of a controversy with one of Dale’s clients, actress Neetu Chandra. On the show, she attracted further notoriety when she cootchie-cooed with Ashmit Patel, another of the same publicist’s clients during Bigg Boss.

Ali Zafar made his India debut with the successful comedy Tere Bin Laden, and followed it up with another hit in Yash Raj Films’ Mere Brother Ki Dulhan co-starring Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif. His last film London, Paris, New York also received critical acclaim.

Some of the other prominent awardees at the 143rd Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Awards included actors Amitabh Bachchan, Tanuja, Vinod Khanna, Ajay Devgn (Singham), Vidya Balan (The Dirty Picture), Waheeda Rehman, Saira Banu - Dilip Kumar, Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar (Bade Achhe Lagte Hain), Farhan Akhtar (Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara), Prakash Raj, ace journalist Chaitanya Padukone, producer Ekta Kapoor and singer Gurdas Maan.

Shakti Kapoor is India’s new gay icon

An online poll has rated Bollywood’s popular villain and comedian Shakti Kapoor as one of the foremost gay icons in the country.

He has joined the ranks with Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, Tamil actor Suriya (of Ghajini and Singham fame), Dhanush (of Kolaveri Di fame) and Arjun Rampal; who ‘literally’ got his balls held for four seconds by Shah Rukh Khan in Ra.One.

Kapoor being voted a gay icon is surely amusing. “Shakti Kapoor has always been known as a ladies man, which is also why he was sent into Bigg Boss with twelve women last year,” commented Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar.

“Inspite of being an extremely versatile actor, over the years, Brand Shakti Kapoor has entertained many with formulaic characters, some of which have seemed to poke fun at gay mannerisms too. Who can forget his super-famous goofy Balma act in the immensely successful Sridevi movie ChaalBaaz”, the publicist points out.

Of course! And then there was also the infamous sting operation where Kapoor was ‘caught’ with a girl (a planted reporter) in a Mumbai hotel. Ah! Those were the days! Now, at 59, being declared a ‘gay icon’ is surely coming a long way since then!!

"Don't want to only do remakes": Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan is working in a remake for the first time, but the Bollywood heartthrob is determined not to continue with the genre post-"Agneepath". As far as comparison goes with the original, he is unperturbed.
"I don't want to do remakes only. My premise is that I should not do remakes. Earlier, I didn't even want to hear about it. Now at least I will hear it," Hrtihik told in an interview.

Filmmaker Karan Johar decided to give a makeover to his dad Yash Johar's 1990 production venture "Agneepath", in which Amitabh Bachchan gave one of his best performances as Vijay Deenanath Chahuhan and won a national award.

Karan roped in Hrihik to play the protagonist and with "Agneepath" ready to hit screens Jan 26, expectations are high and people are likely to compare Hrithik with Amitabh. But he is unruffled and believes that "if you do something in your own way, in your individual way, then it will stand out. People will not compare."
The 38-year-old's performance was critically acclaimed in films like "Jodhaa Akbar" and "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" and he even gave blockbusters like "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai", "Krrish" and "Dhoom 2".

Despite having such an impressive body of work, he says he can't "act".

He said: "My premise is that I can only act well if I am in that character. I have to know everything about my character. If I am not living it, then I can't act. If you ask me to imitate or act, I can't do it. Others can because they have that talent. I can't act, so I am bad actor."

The new age Vijay Deenanath Chahuhan says shooting for the climax, which is full of blood and gore, was the most difficult part of the movie, helmed by first-time director Karan Malhotra, a former assistant of Karan Johar.

"The climax was shot in Diu and throughout I had to fight with Sanjay Dutt with a bare and bleeding body and the shoot went on for 22 days. It ended up being the toughest schedule of my life," said Hrithik.

If the "Agneepath" promos are creating curiosity, the new villian in B-town - Sanjay Dutt - has grabbed the limelight with his scary look.

Sanjay's look has scared not just the audiences but Hrithik too.

"Once during the shoot Sanjay Dutt gave me such a harsh look that I was taken aback. I thought is this Sanjay Dutt? I was like what's happening," he said.

"In the beginning audiences would feel that it's impossible and Vijay is nothing. If it would have looked easy, then you would not enjoy the journey."

Hrithik was quite sceptical before signing the film, but the strong script convinced him to get on board.

"Karan Johar being a friend forced me and asked me to read the script. When I read the script I was shocked. As an actor it touched me. I was defenceless. I had no reason to say no," said the actor who has teamed up with Priyanka Chopra in the movie.

Pooja Bedi asked to stay away from 'Bigg Boss' finale

Actress Pooja Bedi says she has been asked to refrain from attending the grand finale of Colors' reality show "Bigg Boss 5", in which she was a participant.

"Have been informed by channel that I'm not to attend finale, despite it being mandatory in my contract! Wonder why! Any guesses?" Pooja posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

"Have asked channel to state reason I cannot be there at finale to cheer my friends on! Also, till yesterday I was to do a medley! What changed?" she added.

The actress, daughter of veteran actor Kabir Bedi and Odissi exponent Protima Gauri Bedi, caught limelight for endorsing Kama Sutra in the 1990s, and she went on to be popular for her Marilyn Monroe skirt act in "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander".

Pooja entered the "Bigg Boss 5" house Oct 2, 2011, and she was evicted towards the end of November.

Recently, the 41-year-old was in spotlight for her comments against "Bigg Boss 5" host Salman Khan, as she felt he hurt her fellow inmate and friend, Akashdeep Saigal aka Sky.

It is believed that perhaps her comments didn't go down too well with Salman.

However, in a host of replies to tweets from her fans, Pooja posted: "Never said anything derogatory about channel or production house! And its my perogative to react to contestants or host of my show. If anchors can be unfair or awful to contestants, contestants have a right to speak up in their or their friends defence!"

"I have requested an official explanation from channel, but they haven't given me one yet! Let them decide how to say it. Channel and production never had issues with any of statements I've made! If they had, they'd have intimated me immediately."

According to a tabloid, even Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan's plans of promoting Karan Johar's forthcoming film "Agneepath", on the show have been scrapped.

It is believed Hrithik and Salman share a cold war ever since the former reacted to Salman's comments against "Guzaarish" director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. So now, Imran Khan will perhaps attend the finale to promote "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu", also produced by Johar.

Post the news, Pooja wrote: "Mumbai Mirror article today! Hrithik not allowed in #BB5 finale! Guess I'm not the only victim! Wow!"

The finale of the reality show is to be held Saturday. Among the final contestants are Juhi Parmar, Amar Upadhyay, Mahek Chahal, Siddharth Bharadwaj and Sky.
