Entertainment"We knew we were doing something never done before, at least not in Telugu cinema," Deverakonda says.Ians Pelli-Choopulu-Movie-Hero-Vijay-Devarakonda.jpgBy Subhash K Jha Actor Vijay Deverakonda says that working on Arjun Reddy sapped him. Here are excerpts from an interview: Q. How do you look back on the Arjun Reddy experience? It sapped me. Exhausted the hell out of me. I had to be constantly probing into the darkest areas of my consciousness, digging out feelings and tapping into emotions I had never touched in myself. You see, when it comes to probing and showing my feelings, I am a shirker. Q. What do you mean? I can't show, let alone share my emotions. In fact, I've kept it all locked up within myself all my life. Yeah, it's a problem, especially when it comes to relationships with the people close to me. Q. I remember you telling me it was causing a problem with your girlfriend? It's always been a problem. That's why Arjun Reddy was very hard for me. The character is constantly diving into grey and dark areas of his subconscious. Left to myself I won't even go there. Q. Did you expect Arjun Reddy to make such an impact? We knew we were doing something never done before, at least not in Telugu cinema. We were sure we'd make some kind of an impact. It went much further than we expected. But now I'm done with Arjun Reddy. My next film in Telugu in Taxiwala. It's a supernatural thriller, a world as far removed from the previous film as possible. I play a cabbie. Q. And in the biopic on actress Savithri you play Mgr? You mean Mahanti in Tamil? Yes, I am doing that film. In fact, I've just started shooting for it. But I am not playing Mgr. I sometimes hear I am playing Mgr, sometimes Ntr. I am playing neither. I am actually playing a journalist. Both Samantha Ruth Prabhu and I play journalists who set out to piece together the story of Savithri's life. Q. Like Orson Welles in Citizen Kane? Yeah, kind of. Do you know, I've hardly watched the classics? I spent half my life in a boarding school where we were shown only the sporadic wholesome classic like The Sound Of Music. So, I am not familiar with most of the works of the acting greats in Bollywood, Hollywood or Tamil-Telugu cinema. We were shown sanitized films where even a brush on the lips was cut. Q. So where did all that horniness in Arjun Reddy emerge from? (Laughs) I don't know. Probably it was suppressed inside me. All of it came bubbling to the surface in Arjun Reddy. Yeah, this guy believed in pre-marital sex and was very physically sexually active. But in my next film which I start shooting in February I play a virgin. Q. You have to be kidding? No, seriously. The guy I am playing in my next is a sweet wholesome lovable family man who wouldn't dream of asking his girlfriend for a kiss let alone sex. This is my homage to the archetypal angel-hero that Salman Khan plays in Sooraj Barjatya's film. Q. Do you find it challenging to play a sweet-natured character? It's a big challenge. I am done with sweetness and virginity with this film. The three films after this would all have me playing dark disturbed characters. Exploring the dark side of my characters' personality is my forte. Q. Are you looking at doing a sequel to Arjun Reddy? My director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and I discussed it even while we were filming it. There is so much to this character that remains unexplored. We will return to Arjun at some point, though not right away. For now I'm just happy with the impact this film and my character has made. I've just received my first Best Actor award from Zee Telugu. And that too from the legendary Chiranjeevi Sir. Q. What next? Well, now I leave for a two-week European holiday to Spain and Belgium. I think I've earned myself this break. I come back after the New Year to complete my work in Mahanati. Q. Will the high expectations you have generated with Arjun Reddy come in the way of audiences appreciating you in your forthcoming films? I am happy with my role in Taxiwala. It gave me a chance to do a character that was fun. I didn't have to agonize over every scene. As for Mahanati it's a relatively small role in a film that pays a homage to one of Tamil cinema's greatest actresses. Sometimes it is liberating for an actor to just be a part of film where he doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility. Enanble Notification: NoTNM Marquee: No...

Considering he wasn't quite flooded with offers after his debut in Hero, Sooraj Pancholi's progress post-debut has been more cautious than reckless. Things are finally moving on Sooraj's career front. Nearly a year after the release of Hero, choreographer-filmmaker Remo D'Souza confirms he is casting Sooraj with Ajay Devgn in an action film. More heartening news for Sooraj's career comes once again from his mentor Salman Khan who will apparently cast Sooraj again in a home-production, this one to be directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. Manjrekar has been planning a film for Salman Khan Production for the longest time. Says a source, "After Hero did not open floodgates Sooraj's father Aditya Pancholi who is close to Salman requested another film for Sooraj. Salman has asked Mahesh Manjrekar to write and a direct script featuring Sooraj in the lead."...

Tiger Shroff reveals, "Subhash Uncle who is very close friend of my father had signed me on the day I was born for Rs 21,000 which in those days-i was born in 1990-was a fortune. So I owe Subhash Uncle a film." Apparently, the exiled Showman is all set to make a film with Tiger Shroff in the lead. Reacting to the rumour of Tiger coming together with the filmmaker who launched Tiger's father as a leading man in Hero, Tiger says, "Anytime...it'd be an honour and pleasure to work with him.

Despite the extensive promotions of Fan, the film, failed to live upto expectations.

Talking about the performance of Fan along with a mention of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film with Aanand L Rai in which the superstar will be playing a dwarf, Rgv tweeted about Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's stardom comparing with what he calls as a similar fate of Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth down South.

It's Kabir Khan's film for Salman Khan next Eid. While for Diwali 2017, Salman is doing Raj Kumar Santoshi's next which Salman's sister Alvira will produce. Salman Khan loves to do the unexpected. Whispers from Galaxy, his home in Bandra Mumbai, suggested that Salman would no longer work in his family's home productions. This belief was further strengthened when Arbaaz Khan's Dabangg 3 was put on hold. But now Salman is doing a film for his family again. Yes, he will star in a film to be produced by his sister Alvira and brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri. Most surprisingly this film, to be released during Diwali 2017, will be directed by Salman's Andaz Apna Apna director Raj Kumar Santoshi. The brilliant director of Lajja, Damini, Ghayal and Ghatak has been out of circulation for several years. His last directed film was the failed comedy Phata Poster Nikla Hero in 2013, after which...

While details of the yet untitled venture are unknown, the dance action flick will be produced jointly by Ajay Devgn and Bhushan Kumar.

Ever since the time the Tony D'Souza directed Azhar has been announced, it has been making news. This time round, the news is that, the film's music composer Pritam has now been replaced by the budding talent Amaal Mallik (who had composed the music of the Sooraj Pancholi-Athiya Shetty starrer Hero). The reason for Pritam to be out of the project is being cited as health issues, because of which he was not being able to follow the deadline. Speaking about this, Pritam's spokesperson told the media that Pritam had lost out on three weeks because of his hospitalisation in February. And because of this, he wasn't able to complete Azhar's soundtrack. And since Azhar is scheduled to release in May, the film makers were not able to afford the delay. Reports have it that while Amaal Mallik has already composed 2 romantic tracks for the biopic, Ekta Kapoor...

So you think Hollywood stars are big? Probably you haven`t been introduced to the world of Bollywood yet, the Indian film industry, where the term “Megastar” is often used and some stars have a large global following. The 70s had greats like Rajesh Khanna, the 80s included Amitabh Bachchan, the 90s saw the rise of the so-called three Khans (Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Amir Khan) and the 00s introduced us to Hrithik Roshan. Now in the 2010s, the Khans (all of them entering their 50s) still rule most of India`s filmindustry with releasing box office smash hits yearly, but in 2014 the world was introduced to Bollywood`s newest promising star: Tiger Shroff.
Heropanti is Shroff`s debute film for which he prepared three years. Because when in Bollywood, one is not expected to just act, but also to be able to sing and dance as well.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” goes the Xmas song, but it also applies to sorting through the dreck and crap that came out of Bollywood in 2015. I watched many of these duds so that you don’t have to, and trust me they’re not as hilarious as I’m going to make them, because for every great Jodi like Srk-Kajol in Dilwale there’s Sunny Leone being paired with Ram Kapoor. Yet there were some awful gems like Msg and its sequel that came out in the same year – take that annual Fast and Furious franchise! Herewith is the worst and secretly hilarious of the year.
Worst Actor – Emraan Hashmi for Hamari Adhuri Kahani/Mr X
After doing so well in Shanghai, and Ghanchakkar, Emraan decided to play it safe with his performances in Hamari Adhuri Kahani (paired opposite Vidya Balan) and the atrocious Mr X.
