Akshay Khanna says that Shaadi Se Pehle is one of the best comedies of Indian cinema.

A long gap after Hulchul

I didn’t take a break. I was doing a film, produced by Anil Kapoor (Gandhi, My Father). That film took exactly a year to complete. After Hulchul I did that film and I signed Shaadi Se Pehle after that. But this movie got over fast and is releasing first.

Reunion with Mukta Arts

I have a special relationship with Mukta. Subhash Ghai is like my father. Whenever he thinks that I am suitable for any role or I can justify with the character, he signs me. I have worked with him earlier and I would like to continue to work with Subhashji in future.

Shaadi Se Pehle experience

I would not like to reveal much about his film but I can assure you that it’s one of the best comedies of Indian cinema. (more…)

Versatile actor Paresh Rawal is fed up doing mostly comic roles and want filmmakers to offer him serious roles. He is also upset with the poor state of comedy in Bollywood and thinks it is heading towards doom.

You have yet another comic release coming up.

I have just returned from shooting for Ahmed Khan's 'Fool and Final', which is another caper. I'm seriously fed up. I won't touch anything dubious. But 'Malamaal Weekly' was enjoyable. The flavour is not farcical. It's not just a comedy, or a family film or a thriller. The pleasure of working with Omji (Om Puri) in an entire film is rare. It gave me a chance to rejuvenate myself as an actor. I am his fan. It's very rare to come across actors who aren't selfish.

But your director, Priyadarshan said there was healthy rivalry between you and Om?

Oh yes, it was great fun improvising between the two of us, and to see who would get the last word in. There are only a few people in the film industry that I admire as actors and human beings. Omji is one of them. He is such a sweetheart. (more…)

At the moment Madhuri Dixit is holidaying in Mumbai and says that she reminisces about her years in the film industry but doesn’t miss the hustle and bustle of Bollywood. Madhuri is planning a comeback but she wants roles good enough to tempt her over her domestic life (which she finds more exciting).

It would be difficult for the producers in Mumbai to reach you in LA?

The world is becoming such a small place. People sitting in Hong Kong do business with people in India. So communication is not a problem.

Most people feel there can never be another Madhuri Dixit.

In fact, the audiences still send me fan mails. It is a beautiful feeling to be loved and cherished. Talent never dies. I was very apprehensive about dancing on stage. I hadn't done it for four years. To my surprise, it wasn't difficult. Even Sarojji (Khan) said it didn't look like I had been away for so long. Acting and dancing are hard to forget. (more…)

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan put to rest a weekend of media speculation about the state of his health by arriving on the sets of Ravi Chopra’s Baabul at 3.20 pm on Monday. The media was abuzz with rumours that the actor was still not well from his illness and might go for another surgery.

Amitabh who had resumed shooting a week ago after a two-month hiatus following abdominal surgery was slated to leave for Kolkata on Saturday but cancelled the trip at the last minute citing health problems.

He, however, resumed shooting for the last leg of ‘Baabul’ at Filmcity studios in Andheri on Monday afternoon. Clad in a white kurta-pyjama, he stepped out of his Lexus and walked straight to his vanity van, seemingly oblivious to the posse of shutterbugs. (more…)
