'I Me Aur Main' will make men value women: Prachi Desai

Mumbai, Feb 18 - Actress Prachi Desai, who will be seen in "I Me Aur Main", says men will be able to relate to John Abraham's character in the film which will eventually lead them to valuing women in their lives.

"It is a kind of character which every man, every boy in our country is going to relate to. In general, there is a certain characteristic in all of them, they generally don't grow up that fast and because of that somebody is very self-centred, somebody is very selfish," the 24-year-old said here in an interview.

"So, all these things, I think are very relatable. It's about Ishaan (John's character) but at the same time there is so much about women in the film. I think when you will watch the film, you will start valuing us a little more," she added.

Directed by Kapil Sharma, "I, Me aur Main" also features Chitrangada Singh and hits theatres March 1.

Midnight release for 'Bol Bachchan' in Gujarat

Rohit Shetty has a gift for all movie buffs in Gujarat. The director has decided to release his new film "Bol Bachchan" in the state at midnight for the convenience of the women observing the auspicious Jayaparvati fast.

This year, the Jayaparvati fast for the well-being of one's family started July 1 and will end Friday.

According to belief, on the fifth day of the fast, women stay awake all night and break the fast the next morning.

For their entertainment, Shetty has decided to schedule two shows of "Bol Bachchan" -- 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. and 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. -- much before the release of the movie anywhere else in India.

“This is the first time that a movie is releasing early, specially for this occasion and it is an innovative way to celebrate it with a laugh riot 'Bol Bachchan'," said a source from the production.

Loosely based on 1979 film "Golmaal", "Bol Bachchan" features Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Asin Thottumkal and Prachi Desai.

'Bol Bachchan' offers loads of humorous, fun

New Delhi, July 4 (IANS) Rib-tickling scenes, funny dialogues and Ajay Devgn's witty one-liners - Rohit Shetty's "Bol Bachchan" offers all this and promises much more entertainment when it hits the screens Friday.

After churning out films like "Golmaal", "Golmaal Returns", "Golmaal 3" and "Singham", once again Shetty's is ready to take audience on another laughter ride with "Bol Bachchan".

Said to be inspired by 1979 movie "Gol Maal", the film has Abhishek Bachchan, Asin Thottumkal, and Prachi Desai in the female leads.

The story revolves around Abbas Ali (Abhishek), a resident of Karol Bagh, New Delhi. He stays there with his sister Sania (Asin) and they are legally fighting to get the title of their ancestral property.

But the odds turn against them and they lose the case. Their well-wisher, Shastri Chacha, advises and convinces them to migrate to his village Ranakpur and assures Abbas that he will get him a job at his owner's place. The owner being none other than the powerful Prithviraj Raghuvanshi (Ajay).

In Ranakpur, while saving a child trapped inside a temple, Abbas breaks open the lock of an ancestral temple. It upsets the villagers and they are up in arm against Abbas, but Prithviraj arrives at the scene and bails Abbas out.

On being asked his name, Abbas's friend comes out with a fake name because he knew that the villagers will be outraged if they will find out that the lock of the temple has been broken by a Muslim guy.

From here starts a series of cover-ups, goof-ups and comic situations where to cover one lie, Abbas pads it up with a bigger lie that he has a twin brother with no moustache. This leads to topsy-turvy journey of a single person acting as two different entities.

"Bol Bachchan" has been co-produced by Dhillin Mehta and Ajay.

Shetty has roped in megastar Amitabh Bachchan for promotional song "Bol Bol Bachchan". In the song, the 69-year-old recreated the iconic song "My name is Anthony Gonsalves" and pops out of a life-sized egg.

I have a lot to learn: Abhishek Bachchan

Reviewing his last 12 years' work, Abhishek Bachchan feels people have been over-generous and have given him much more credit than he deserves.

"I think people think I am a much better actor than I actually am. I think I have a lot more to do and improve. I think people are too kind to me," Abhishek told IANS.

"I am very harsh on myself. An actor is always his worst critic. I feel I have been given too much due and I am not shamming by saying this. I genuinely believe that, I feel I have a lot more to do and learn," he added.

Junior B made his debut with J.P. Dutta's "Refugee" in 2000 - which got an iffy reception. Since then, he has seen ups and downs in his career with hits like "Bunty Aur Babli" and "Sarkar" and flops like "Kuch Naa Kaho", "Bas Itna Sa Khwaab hai" and "Players".

Abhishek goes by only one parameter while selecting his roles.

"Be it the biggest director or be it a very good script, but if my heart is not with it, I will not do it," he added.

The actor, who turned 36 this year, is right now looking forward to the release of "Bol Bachchan", which is coming out July 6.

Describing his experience, he says matching up to the required "energy level" and "style" of comedy in "Bol Bachchan" has been an "exhausting" task for him.

"Everything was a challenge. I thought it will be an easy film to do but it turned out to be the most difficult film of my career. I have done some difficult films in the past as well. But this film was exhausting to do. My misconception was that it is a comedy film, so it will be a holiday, but it wasn't one. I worked very hard for it," he said.

Loosely based on 1979 film "Golmaal", the cast of "Bol Bachchan" also features Ajay Devgn, Asin Thottumkal and Prachi Desai.

This was not Abhishek's first comedy. He tickled the audience's funny bones with "Dostana", but says that his "style of comedy is different" from what the film required.

"And that is what they (Ajay Devgn and director Rohit Shetty) taught me. They taught me the kind of comedy that was required for the film," he added.

"In terms of energy levels, it was very tough. It took about a week for me to adjust in the new style of comedy. The first week of filming was tough. I came on the sets to do my part in a particular way. Rohit had a different idea and it took a week for me to achieve that. But full credit to Rohit, he did not give me up on me and after the pack-up, he used to tutor me. I hope I have got it right," said the actor.

The most important thing for an actor is to achieve a comfort zone with his co-stars and director, says Abhishek who also worked with Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn in "Zameen".

"According to me, an actor has to have implicit faith and trust in his director. As an actor, he pairs his soul with the director. I knew Rohit since the time he was an assistant director and I was a production assistant. Ajay is like an elder brother to me; so there is a huge amount of faith for him. I think that is what clicked. He is the most supportive co-star I have ever worked with," he said.
