Looks like ‘Rann’ is all set to be the first treat from Bollywood for this new year as it gears up to hit the bull’s eye at the box office. With positive pre-release reports and glowing trade reviews, Ram Gopal Varma’s keenly awaited drama is much in the news for its gripping storyline and first-rate performances.

Directors pick their hot favorite film of the year 2009

It was the year of the alien. When an American film ‘Avatar’ completely took over our Bollywood filmmakers’ psyche, making them feel small inadequate and incompetent. Luckily ‘Paa’ and ‘3 Idiots’ came along at year-end to give back the industry and our filmmakers their self esteem. Almost every director and producer in Hindi in one voice, singled out ‘Paa’ , ‘3 Idiots’ or ‘Avatar’ as the film of their choice.

Earlier this year, we have seen producer Vashu Bhagnani launching his son Jackky as an actor with the film ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’. Now keeping up with the trend we have yet another producer’s son gearing up for his debut in B-town with ‘Ghar Ke Na Ghat Ke’.

Shilpa Shetty-Raj Kundra to be Bachchans’ neighbors

Since the marriage couldn’t be postponed any further, thanks to the moody stars (we mean the ones above, not down below) Shilpa Shetty and her soon-to-be bridegroom Raj Kundra will move into a smaller brand-new place in a high-rise owned by Vashu Bhagnani in front of the Bachchans’ residence Jalsa, until Shilpa Shetty-Kundra’s dream home in Juhu is fully done up by Sussanne Roshan.

How excited are you as an actor about Acid Factory?

I should say that though I am quite excited about the fact that Acid Factory will take me to the next level as an actor. I am not nervous at all. I remember when I heard the script of ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ when Rajkumar Hirani narrated it to me; I told him I could not wait till I saw the complete film. This time also when Suparn narrated the subject to me, I told him that it was a brilliant plot and hence I could not wait to see the film. You see you can visualize a film when you hear the narration for the first time. I call it magic.

Jackky Bhagnani becomes gets nostalgic

Jackky Bhagnani is a proud son. His father Vashu Bhagnani’s ‘Do Knot Disturb’ has received appreciation so far. Jackky has recently signed Remo D’ Souza’s directorial venture ‘Faltu’, which is yet to go on floors. However, Jackky surprisingly does not seem to get over his debut film ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’, which bombed at the box-office.
