Rishi Kapoor just received Lifetime Achievement award at the Zee function in Mauritius and will be seen in Yash Raj Films ‘Fanaa’. The veteran actor is on a new high these days.

How do you feel about receiving the Lifetime Achievement award?
It’s a great feeling. When I was coming back, I met two guys at the airport who said I still looked young. So please let me clarify that I haven’t been conferred this honour because I have become old; it’s just that I have been appreciated for the body of work I have done in the last 34 years, and I have accepted it. I have not closed shop.

Yes, I have shut the door on singing songs and romancing girls. Now, the real Rishi Kapoor will emerge. I am as much in love with my work as I was when I first faced the camera. (more…)

March 4, LIC-Zee Cine Awards 2006 function is being held in Mauritius, telecast live on Zee TV from 7pm and who is who of Bollywood is attending it. Are u Game?

Star Anchors:
The oomph girl Mallika Sherawat and the known director Karan Johar are hosting the Awards. Mallika is known for her peppy tongue and this time she will be unstoppable. Another interesting thing to look forward is her dressing which always creates shock. Karan who has hosted such events two times before will be a delight to look at. Those who have seen Karan’s hit TV talk show ‘Koffee with Karan’ know how naughty he is and if one remembers Mallika was the hot topic of discussion in more than one episode. It will be so much fun to watch them together. Arjun Rampal, Konkona SenSharma and Gulshan Grover are the other celebrity to hosts for the show. (more…)

After getting loads of appreciation and grabbing major awards from all big awards ceremonies for his critically acclaimed film ‘Black’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is working on his next masterpiece. But this time he is in experimental mood.

His film Saawariya (Beloved) has the fresh pair of Ranvir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor in the lead. Ranvir is son of Rishi and Neetu Singh and Sonam is Anil Kapoor’s daughter. Saawariya is about innocent love and though this film Sanjay wants to rediscover his own innocence.

Sanjay who is very particular about music in his films has also changed the entire music team of his new film. He has given the privileged seat of music director Ismail Durbar to composing maestro Pyarelal’s nephew, Monty - who has also done the background score of Devdas and Black. Sanjay feels there is a kind of beauty, spirituality and sensuality to his music which Saawariya needed. (more…)
