zayed khan in his father's new film


Actor-turned producer Zayed Khan says his father Sanjay has revived his production house and will announce a new film project next month.
"I will star in the film...details of which will be announced officially next month," Zayed told reporters here.

To a question on why he chose to launch his own production company 'Born Free Entertainment' when he could have been actively involved in his father's company, Zayed said he and his father were temperamentally different in approaching issues.

"But I will surely act in the film," he assured.

The 30-year-old actor said when he told his father about his plans to turn producer, he did not sound too enthusiastic.

"He thought I was very casual and indicated that production was not a child's play. Now that everything is on paper and we are ready with our first film which has gone on floors this week, he has given me his best wishes and that means a lot to me," Zayed said.

'Love, Breakups, Zindagi' starring Zayed and his co-producer Dia Mirza is written and directed by Sahil Sangha, their partner in the production house.

Sanjay Khan's new project is yet untitled. Earlier, he has directed and produced films like 'Chandi Sona', 'Abdullah', 'Kala Dhanda Goray Log' before shifting to television with shows like 'The Sword of Tipu Sultan', 'The Great Maratha' and 'Jai Hanuman'.

His acting profile includes movies like 'Ek Phool Do Mali', 'Mela', 'Nagin', 'Inteqam' among others. During the shooting of Tipu Sultan, Sanjay survived a near fatal accident when the sets caught fire.

‘Wake Up Sid’ director Ayaan Mukherjee wanted to cast Deepika Padukone in his second directorial project as Ranbir Kapoor the lead hero but the actor straightway refused to share screen space with his ex-flame.

While Deepika Padukone in an interview said that she is open to work with Ranbir but it is Ranbir who feels discomfort acting alongside with his ex.

In the film, the lead actress’s character resemblance to Deepika in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and so the director was keen to have her on board.

Says Mukherji, "It is not true. Speculation is pointless right now because the truth is that I am still in the process of writing the script of my film.

Only when the script is finalised, will we decide who suits the part best, and then approach that actress with an offer."

A source close to Ranbir says, "Ayaan is still working on the script so the heroine has not even been discussed as yet. Ranbir has asked him for a narration."

ameer khan dharbi ghat film


Ameer khan dharbi ghat film'Dhobi Ghat' is a rare movie to come out of Bollywood and it is meant for the global stage, says Cameron Bailey, co-director of the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) where the film will be premiered this week. It is the first non-masala, non-song-and-dance film from Bollywood to make to the world's premier film festival which opens here Thursday to showcase about 300 films from around the world.

Set in the monsoon Mumbai season, the film revolves around intertwined lives of Aamir Khan (Arun in the lead role), and Monica Dogra (NRI girl Shai) and Prateik Babbar (washerboy Munna).

Praising director Kiran Rao and her husband Aamir Khan in the lead role for doing a "terrific, terrific job,'' Bailey told IANS: "'Dhobi Ghat' is really not a masala move. It has no song, no dancing. It's really an independent film - a story that's a love letter to Mumbai, it's very much about the people of Mumbai. And it has Aamir Khan in a role of an artist that you often don't see him in - he has done a terrific job. The film's three intertwined stories really give you the feel, the texture of Mumbai today.''

Asked why he picked up the film for the festival, he said, "I love the film - it's that simple. I have talking to them for months. When I saw it in July in Mumbai, I fell in love with it. It is very beautifully done. It's very provocative, romantic. It really captures the feel of Mumbai - the things I love about the city, the vibrancy of the place, the feel of its streets, and the people. And it all happens in the monsoon season so that you get the texture of the rain, and how it feels to be there at that time of the year.''

Bailey added, "It is a film of great ambition - it is doing things that we don't see in Indian cinema very often. Then you have Aamir Khan - who I think is really one of the national treasures of India - in the lead role. All these things combined made it a movie we had to have here.''

With 'Dhobi Ghat,' the Toronto film festival boss said, Kiran Rao has made a dream directorial debut.

"This is her first directorial effort, though she has been working on films for years. I think she is part of a generation of filmmakers that we are seeing come up now in India - a new school in international cinema. This generation is not making films out of the Indian commercial cinema context, but making films that are referencing American independent cinema or European cinema or Asian cinema.

"Kiran has talked to me about being influenced by a couple of Asian film makers - Tsai-Ming Liang from Taiwan and Wong Kar-wai from Hong Kong. So I find that there is now a kind of dialogue happening among filmmakers in different parts of the world.''

He said, ""Dhobi Ghat' is a film that will work on the international stage, and I think she (Kiran) is a super talented filmmaker.''

Apart from 'Dhobi Ghat,' Anurag Kashyap's 'The Girl in Yellow Boots' is another main Indian entry at this year's film festival
