Shahrukh Khan is known to infuse passion into any film he does. But his upcoming superhero film Ra.One is extra special.

Arjun Rampal, who has worked with the superstar in two films, swears by all the passion SRK is putting in the sci-fi extravaganza.

“Shah Rukh is leaving no stone unturned for ‘Ra.One’. I have worked with Shah Rukh before and seen his commitment and passion. However, the kind that I am seeing in Ra.One is unparalleled. The way he is going all out to make this film extra special is commendable. His passion is just so contagious,” Rampal is quoted as saying by a news agency.

The movie has SRK playing the superhero G.One, and Rampal the evil Ra.One. Rampal had to train strenuously for this role for about three-and-a-half months.

“Yes, it was physically a very demanding part. There was a certain level of fitness which was required on my part to make this character look extremely believable. Anubhav and Shah Rukh were clear that I had to stand out to make the overall film look great,” said Rampal.

The first look of Ra.One is already out and has got positive response so far.

A special body suit was designed for SRK’s character G.One in the film that has Arjun Rampal playing the hero’s arch foe. Kareena Kapoor plays SRK’s love interest while Anubhav Sinha is the film’s director.

SRK hopes to create the sci-fi history in Indian cinema with his ambitious home production Ra.One has been in the making for over a year. The movie will have SRK doing breath-taking stunts, and Arjun Rampal as a bald baddie. Kareena Kapoor plays SRK’s love interest. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film also has a song by Akon.

Bollywood actor Jackky Bhagnani, who is doing his second film with choreographer-turned-director Remo D'Souza after bagging the best debut award at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA), says the movie is not just about dance, but a lot more.
"Even though 'F.A.L.T.U' is being directed by a choreographer, it is not a film about dance or a film where unnecessary dance sequences are incorporated. It is lot more than that," Jackky told IANS in an interview.
"It's a very different and real film where a bunch of youngsters do things their way and show the world that even though they don't follow the age old methods, they can still do things the right way," he said.
The film, which stars newcomer Pooja Gupta and actor Angad Bedi among others, is being produced by Jackky's father Vashu Bhagnani.
Jackky plays a boy-next-door in the film, someone who is a rebel, but in a positive way.
The 25-year-old actor started his career with "Kal Kissne Dekha", but the film failed to set the cash registers ringing at the box office. Jackky feels that the main problem with his debut film was the script.
"I learnt a lot from my first film. I realised that even if you perform well or the budget of the film is big, ultimately what matters most is the script. In 'Kal Kissne Dekha' my character was quite hard to believe and that was the problem," he revealed.
"Now I know that people want to see closer to life characters and believable scripts. Hence my next film is very realistic and relatable," he added.
"F.A.L.T.U" is slated to hit screens in December and is being shot all over Mumbai.
Jackky said even though it is easier for him to be in the industry because of his father, the fact is that he goes through struggle too.
"People feel that it was a cakewalk for me to enter the industry. But the fact is that it wasn't. I had to struggle too and I still do. My first film didn't work, so now I'm working hard on my next film. My father's presence in the industry didn't guarantee success to me," he said.
When asked if he would divert his attention to direction or production as his father owns production house, Pooja Films, the actor said that eventually he will get into that.
"Since I'm the only child, I will takeover our business eventually. I have the infrastructure, few years down the line, I will surely get into it," said Jackky, who earlier assisted in films like "Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein", "Silsilay" and "Wadaa".

Some bullets kill you, some save your life; some women kill you, some save your life.

Arun (Irrfan Khan) has to save Priti (Chitrangda Singh) the woman he loves, but for that he first has to save the man Priti loves- Shyam, the future son in law of a powerful Minister. Meanwhile, time is running out for Kuldeep (Arunoday Singh), the young gangster who is on his last job as his wife is threatening to walk out on him completely, and he begins to suspect she is leaving him to go into the arms of another man. The job has gone haywire for it is still unknown to Kuldeep that the Ministers daughter’s engagement with Shyam is off and now she doesn’t care whether Shyam lives or dies and more importantly neither does the Minister who Kuldeep hoped would pay the ransom! Priti finds herself inextricably caught in this mess and Arun has to save her life. But for that he has to risk everything, and put his own life at stake, he wonders why he should do it at all, if she still loves another. He’s torn, but love knows no reason. Meanwhile, Shyam is trying to make deals in captivity, and his goodness only seems superficial and as Kuldeep tries desperately to save his situation, there are dons coming from Bangkok, who have their own plans.

The film rides a roller-coaster towards a shattering climax, where all the players have to fend for their lives and loves. Who gets the girl, and who gets the money, and who escapes by the skin of his teeth, is now anybody’s guess. But hold on, there are still jokers in the pack, and aces up some sleeves.

Expect the unexpected!

Yeh Saali Zindagi is a quirky love story in the guise of a thriller. Its an obtuse take on how far they both the heroes go to get the women they love and how sometimes one screw-up can set everything right!

If the news going in bollywood is to be believed than Hrithik Roshan was the lead actor in 7 khoon maaf. 7 khoon maaf is the most talked film in bollywood. It is directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. This is heroine oriented film. In this film Priyanka is show to killing her seven husbands.

Originally the script of the film was hero oriented. After writing the film Vishal though of Hrithik in the lead role but due to some difference of opinion, it couldn't materialize. After this Vishal again re wrote the film & it is now heroine oriented film.

This film is based on Ruskin Bond's story 'Sushan's Seven Husband.' Vishal re wrote the story keeping in mind Hrithik as actor. But it couldn't materialize so now Vishal is going with the original story & Priyanka is in main role. Priyanka is happy to get type of good film. She is happy that problem happened with Hrithik & Vishal otherwise she would not have got this film.

Source closer to the story says the reason for the problem. 'Actually Vishal wanted to sign Hrithik for the film. But both of them could not agree on the plot and character of the film. Finally they separated saying will work together in future. After this incident, Vishal decided than rather contacting any other actor he will go with the original story which is heroine oriented & signed priyanka. As such Vishal loves to make heroine centered film but this type of films gets very bad response at box office.'


The first look of Vishal Bhardwaj’s 7 Khoon Maaf is intriguing. After Aitraaz, once again Priyanka Chopra will be seen in a negative role.

The film is a dark comedy based on Ruskin Bond’s Susanna’s Seven Husbands and the story revolves around Sussane and her journey to find true love, which results in her marrying seven times.

Naseeruddin Shah, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan, Annu Kapoor, Vivaan Shah (Naseeruddin’s youngest son) and Russian actor Aleksandr Dyachenko play the seven husbands.
