You are facing the camera after nearly three months. How does it feel?

It feels the same, not much difference. Same people, same mode of work, camera still rolls and cuts, trolleys and cranes work, music plays, and life moves on. On the first day at the shoot for Karan’s film people showed respect and joy at my return. I feel odd and embarrassed. (more…)

The audience gave you a standing ovation at a recent function.

It was such an overwhelming moment to see the audience’s reaction to me. I just didn’t know what to say. I had a tough time trying to control my emotions when I saw the audience up on its feet for me. I’ve no adequate words to describe what I feel each time I get the love of the people in this country.

Shahrukh is still the Badshah of acting despite of not getting any awards this year and Akshay is currently ruling the box office. And the two will be seen together for the first time as opponents (Shahrukh to don Amitabh’s cap, while Akshay in Shashi Kapoor shoes) in Yash Chopra’s Kabhie Kabhie remake.

Yes, Yash Chopra has decided to remake his own ’70s block-buster Kabhie Kabhie originally made with Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor and Rakhee. The new version is likely to have Shah Rukh Khan playing Amitabh and Akshay Kumar playing Shashi Kapoor.

Kay Kay Menon who is known for his grey shades in ‘Sarkar’ will be seen in a lead role opposite Bipasha Basu in Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Corporate’.

You will be seen opposite Bipasha Basu and she has a power packed role in the film.
Even if Bipasha plays the protagonist, my role is equally important in the film. If I can judge for myself that a film can be made without me I do not sign it. When Madhur approached me with his script, I was thrilled because it was a trilogy which he is planning to make. I have seen Page 3, and I think Atul Kulkarni’s character was as strong as Konkona’s in the film. It would be wrong to tag him as a feminist film-maker. His male characters are equally interesting - he has both spineless and intelligent male characters in his films. (more…)
