Vishal Bhardwaj’s Indian version of Shakespeare’s famous novel ‘Othello’ has been invited to Cannes Film Festival and for the promotions of the film in a big way its makers are taking the entire cast including Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma and Vivek Oberoi along with director Vishal to the festival.

At Cannes, the film will have a six to seven minute screening. Actress Kareena who is much charged up about the film said, “I’m definitely planning my trip to Cannes this summer. I believe Ajay and Saif will also come along. The producer, Kumar Mangat, is going so far as to put up an Othello stall at Cannes. I think it’ll be a great experience. People are already curious about it.”

Meanwhile, Othello name deciding contest with a relevant tagline ‘What’s in a name’ (which is also taken from Shakespeare) will open up to the public next week where the public will choose their favorite title among the three short listed one’s - Omkara, O Saathi Re and Issak. (more…)

Actor Boman Irani loves laughter so much that he aspires to die laughing. The Munnabhai MBBS doctor Dean that used laughter therapy to control his anger has certainly come a long way. The actor is now looking forward to go to Goa to complete a schedule of Farhan Akhtar’s produced film Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.

What is your role in the film?
I play the role of Shabana Azmi’s husband. The film has an ensemble cast. It is about 16 couples who are on a bus journey to Goa for their honeymoon. The script is fabulous and it contains a heavy dose of humour. Most importantly, for the first time, I have a leading lady in the film. (more…)
