Model-actor Upen Patel’s popularity is growing so much so that he already bagged six prestigious projects even before his debut release - Abbas Mastan’s thriller ‘36 China Town’ also starring Akshaye Khanna, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor.

Apparently Patel has been getting plenty of offers but has been cautious in his selection. The actor said, “Yes I’ve been meeting a lot of people but it’s too early to confirm details. I’m all set for my debut with 36 China Town, and looking forward to its release. I’m glad that the industry seems to be accepting me.”

So far he has been signed by Subhash Ghai, Ashtavinayak films, Sunil Darshan, Tips, Shyam Bajaj’s next and Vipul Shah. (more…)

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…)
