Riteish Deshmukh confirms presence in ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’

The cat is out of the bag. Today’s release ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’ would have Riteish Deshmukh essaying the role of an underworld don. In an extended guest appearance, Riteish would also be seen donning different get up in each of his scenes and would add to the fun quotient of the film.

Informs a source who had a dekko at the film, “The makers have so far kept this as a secret but the fact is that Riteish has a substantial role in the film. Of course Jackky Bhagnani is the film’s lead but Riteish too has a fantastic role of an underworld don.”

Elaborating more on Riteish’s presence in the film, she adds, “His character is that of someone who is fun loving. He keeps making on and off appearance in the film and brings in a different dimension to the narrative each time around. He is someone who is pretty money minded.”

Vashu Bhagnani, producer of ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’, too confirms around Riteish’s presence and says, “Yes, Riteish has an extended guest appearance in the film but that’s all I can say for now. Anything more would spoil the fun.”

On contacted, the man in picture - Riteish Deshmukh - was initially hesitant to talk about the film.

“I am not too sure how much should I be revealing about my role in the film. I don’t know if you can call it a special appearance or an extended guest appearance or anything of that sort. I am yet to see the final cut of how much of me is actually present in the film”, he says.

On being prodded further, he reluctantly adds, “This character was primarily conceived by my director Vivek Sharma and I primarily followed his vision. Whatever I have done in the movie, it is completely as per Vivek’s instructions. I merely copied him.” - Joginder Tuteja / Sampurn Media

Kajol, Kareena together for Karan’s forthcoming venture

Karan Johar has done it again. After casting Kajol and Kareena Kapoor for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, way back in 2001, he’s got the two talented actresses again for his forthcoming venture.

According to sources, “Kajol and Kareena have been finalised for Karan Johar’s forthcoming film, which will start once the actors are free from their on-going films.”

The film, which is yet untitled is based on the Hollywood film, Stepmom (1998), starring Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts. The shooting of the film will begin as soon as Kajol wraps up the shoot of Karan’s My Name Is Khan, opposite Shah Rukh Khan. So how did the casting come about? “Karan, who is directing Kajol in My Name Is Khan is very happy with her work.When queried about Kareena’s presence in Karan’s film, Kareena’s secretary maintained a diplomatic stand and said, “Kareena would never say no to Karan.”

My films have always been denied popular awards: Bhandarkar

Madhur Bhandarkar, who has been nominated in the best director category for "Fashion" in the International Indian Film Academy awards 2009, is wondering why the film itself is missing from the best picture list.

"They've done this to me before. My films have been denied popular awards right from 'Chandni Bar'. So I'm neither hurt nor amused. I just wonder what it means," Bhandarkar, who made critically acclaimed films like "Page 3" and "Corporate", told IANS.

All the other directors, who are nominated in the best director category, have their films in the best picture category.

"If I'm one of the best directors of the year, isn't my product automatically among the best films? But I'm sure they've their own rationale and I'm the last person to question it. Right now I'm too drained out shooting 'Jail' in the heat of Karjat," said Bhandarkar.

"Jail", starring Neil Nitin Mukesh in lead role, is being shot in the sun and members of the unit are suffering from dehydration.

"We've a doctor on standby throughout the shooting. Anyone can suffer from sunstroke or dehydration any time. And after all this effort 'Jail' too may be snubbed at the popular awards. But I'm not complaining. I've the audience and critics with me. And my films get the National Award. To me, that's the highest honour. I just hope Neil gets the National Award for 'Jail'. The rest will be a bonus."
