Editors note,
Kudos to Ajay Devgn and his performance in Once Upon a Time In Mumbai.
In comparison to some of our other loud actors, who go overboard with their
performances, Ajay has this fine art of giving a subtle performance in whatever
role he attempts. It also reminds me that actors like Ajay are far better in comedythan Akshay Kumar and his types, who make a mockery of comedy, with their
performances.
Lets hope the audiences hail more such actors at the box-office.

Step Mom. Directed by Siddhartha
Malhotra and produced by Karan Johar,
the film tells the touching story of a terminally
ill divorcee who is faced with the prospect of
accepting the new woman in her husbands lifeas the stepmother of her kids. The film portrays
the problems that the two face even as they try
to enter into an understanding. The film will see
the coming together of two of Bollywoods most-
talked actresses, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor. The
last time they were seen together was in Kabhi
Khushi Kabhi Gham, which was also a Dharma
Productions movie. The music of the film has
been composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The film
is scheduled to release on September 10,
Synopsis: Maya (Kajol) is the perfect mother.
Her life revolves around her three children, Aleya
(Aanchal Munjal), Ankush (Nominath Ginsburg),
and Anjali (Diya Sonecha), who think nothing
less than the world of her. Despite being divorced
from her husband, Aman (Arjun Rampal) Maya
has ensured that everything runs smoothly in her
house, under her watch, and that they continue
to remain a happy family unit. However, when
Aman introduces his girlfriend Shreya (Kareena
Kapoor), a career oriented woman, who has a lot
to learn about children, to the family, the situation
immediately takes an unexpected turn. When an
incident changes their lives drastically, bringing
the two women under the same roof, they find
themselves putting to test an unusual situation.
Can two mothers make a home?
Forced to make some unorthodox choices for her
family, Maya must confront her uneasy equation
with Shreya and find a way to bring everyone
together, despite their differences, to make them
a family once again. Can they make a happy home
and proudly say... WE ARE FAMILY!

AUGUST 15, 2010, AUCKLAND POINT OF VIEW 05WWW. LESS4U.CO.NZ
And I dream of the days when work was scrappy,
And rare in our pockets the mark of the mint,
And we were angry and poor and happy,
And proud of seeing our names in print
I just chanced upon this little verse and felt it so apt in most of our lives, lives that
all of us have led and experienced and enjoyed, irrespective of what circumstances the
words may express.
Yes, we have all been through those days when we knew and felt
that the work that we were doing was not what we wanted to be doing
for the rest of our lives. We wanted work, we wanted to stand on our
own feet, we needed that independence, we needed to walk away from
being dependent on others, particularly family and parents. We took on
whatever came our way. It was a start. A beginning. If we saw a future a
continuity in it, we remained, if not, we quietly and most politely declined
it and went our way.But those times were rare. The mark in our pockets of that mint
lasted but for the shortest period of time. There was the regular upkeep
and existence that challenged our earnings each month. There was the
paucity for the luxury and the fun that we could buy. It made us angry.
Angry because we had the desire, but not the pocket to afford it. Angry
because we saw others in more affluent situations and lamented the fact
of not being in their shoes.
But we were happy. Happy to be where we were, in whatever we were and whatever
we had. The discomfort of not being in the other league was diminished in the company
of compatriots who were also in similar conditions. Somehow there was a brotherhood
of those in the same boat and suddenly it all did not look so bad after all. It became
fashionable to say we cannot afford it. We said it without any remorse, but with a
strange sense of pride. It was acceptable that we did not have everything.
In a sense it egged us on to struggle harder, to work towards a goal that would
provide us, or put us in that elusive basket where all was not ready made for us.
And then the print ! The first print mention in a sporting achievement or small
mention of that theatre experience. An assessment a presence, a few kind words of
description ; the very first time to confront what others thought of you, not in private,
but in the realm of a medium that would be public ! Such a joy and feel of
importance. The exuberance of sharing it with colleagues, friends, family
and in private repeatedly. Its safe custody in that little drawer where
all the personal letters were neatly kept. Its presence under the pillow
for several nights and then finally to store it away reluctantly, to glance
perchance within a time span !
The quote is from C.sK. Chesterton ( 1874 - 1936 ) and it is titled the
Song of Defeat. Six years before I was born he perished, but his thoughts
relevant today in 2010 in a manner which he may never have everenvisaged. He calls it a Song of Defeat. To me it is a song of victory, as I
am certain it would be for many others who found themselves perched
on the fence, about to slide across to the other side where the grass was
greener.
It has allowed me to look back. To reminisce, to wonder. It may seem
that I would have been through with it. It may still return, who knows.
But it still remains as a symbol to me of all that has an eternal value. One that needs to
be cherished, embellished and stored.
Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to look upon it in hindsight ..
You may very well have not !
Love and affection in more ways than one -
His success story, star charisma and immense talent remain unparalleled but there is yet an-other quality to Big B that makes him a cut above the rest-the fact that he values every mo-ment of his success. In this piece, he introspects about the little joys of success and how they
are cherished forever.

Your performancein Once Upon
A Time... has
come for both
commercial and critical
acclaim. How does it feel?
I am delighted with the
audience response for the film.
I always look forward to the
feedback I get from my fans
and audiences. Their response
is an indicator that my hard
work has paid off.
Your characterization and
look in the film has also
come for appreciation.
As for the characterization,
it was entirely director Milan
Luthrias vision. I did work on
my look for the film, the long
hair, the style of dressing. The
film is based on the 70s so we
decided that bell bottom pants
and high heeled shoes, would
be apt in keeping with the
period. Also, we all researched
on the look. Alim Hakim who
styled my hair remembered
what the look was in the 70s,
when he would accompany hisfather on the sets. Designers
Rishi and Manushi worked
on the costumes, so it was a
combined effort.
How much did you know
about Haji Mastan as a
man before you attempted
the role?
I knew that he was a
smuggler but one who was
very good at heart. Besides, he
only indulged in the smuggling
of banned goods. In terms of
the character, I felt that he
had a very different persona in
comparison the other dons, one
who was mean and at the same
time romantic. On one side he
had a wry sense of humour,
on the other he was very soft-
hearted, which is why people
took advantage of him. He has
a wry sense of humour and at
the same time he is a softie at
heart and thats why people
take advantage of him.
How was it working with
Milan Luthria?We are old friends. We have
grown together over the films
we have done over the years.
We did Kachche Dhaage and
Deewar together we have
been friends since then, so the
comfort level is much more
now.
You seem to be consciously
attempting roles in various
genres, be it drama,
comedy or action. Are
you happy with the
kind of work you are
doing?
I do want to get into
different genres and I
am making efforts in that
direction. I am the kind of
actor who would like to go
one step further beyond my
limitations. For me acting is
a process of eternal learning.
Also, I believe that every
person learns from his
own mistakes.
You are reportedly
playing the role of
a terrorist in your
next film, Bullet
Train?
I would
not like toc o m m e n t
on the
film at this
stage since
we have not yet
started shooting for it.
However, I will definitely
be able to talk about
Priyadarshans Aakrosh. It
is a complete action film and
we have just wrapped up the
shooting for the film. .
The news goes that
Aakroshwill have
you performing
some dare-devil
stunts on par with what
you had done in Patthar
Ke Phool
Thats not entirely true. I
dont think it will be able to
do the kind of stunts I did in
Patthar Ke Phoolat this stage.
When I did the film, I was young,
fearless and ready to take risks.
It meant conditioning my bodyand putting in a good deal of
hard work. Today my body
may not be able to take that
kind of pressure. Also my
responsibilities in life have
doubled up. I will think twice
before taking such a step.
How has Golmaal-3
shaped up? Are you
planning to go ahead
with another
sequel?
Its been great
doing all the
Golmaalseries. In
fact, the laugh
riot seems to
be getting
m o r e
h i l a r i o u s
with every
s e q u e l .
We have
not yet
d e c i d e d
a b o u t
a n o t h e r
sequel but
we may just
go ahead
with one. We
are enjoying iti m m e n s e l y
and so are the
audiences.
What is
it about
f i l m m a k e r
Rohit Shetty,
that keeps you
inspired to work
with him again
and again?
I and Rohit have
been together for the
last 19 years. We met
during the making of
Phool Aur Kaante
in 1991, my debut venture, in
which he was working as an
assistant director. In 2003 he
turned a full-fledged director
with Zameen and decided
to cast me in the lead. Our
friendship has grown over the
years and we are more like
family now. When you are
friends you share everything.Yes, we do have our share of
fights and arguments but then
we dont let it come in the way
of our friendship. We are no
longer in the actor-director
kind of relationship now.
What according to you is
the formula for success?
I dont believe in a success
formula, nor do I go by the
numbers game. For me a high
in my career is the appreciation
I get from the audiences. On
my part, I try and choose the
right films. Like I said earlier,
success for me is more about
trying to please my fans and
fulfilling their expectations.
Have you ever been
through a low phase in
life?
I have fortunately been lucky
in my career and have never
quite seen low phases. I have
been working continuously for
the last 20 years. I didnt have
a hit for one or two years but
that didnt dampen my spirits.
Do you ever carry your
stress back home?I never do that. For me the
moment I pack up, I switch off.
If you take your work home,
your life gets disturbed. It
can get dangerous to a point
where people end up becoming
a wreck. I can remember
only one occasion when I got
seriously intimidated by the
character I was playing. That
was the role of Bhagat Singh
for which I had done immense
research. We didnt want to
make mistakes so I had to be
careful but I ended up thinking
about him day and night.

How beneficial is it when an
actress is your wife?
Its much easier. She understands
my pressures. She understands when
I cant give her time. I can discuss
my work with her and take her
suggestions.
You are heading for fatherhood
once again. How does it feel?
I am excited and am looking forward
to becoming a father for a second time.
I am keeping my fingers crossed. I
am not gender biased. I want to have
a healthy child. In fact my daughter,
Nysa is more excited and is looking
forward to have a sibling. I am thinking
of giving up smoking now.
By Sharmishta T
I dont think it will be able to do the kindof stunts I did in Patthar Ke Phool at this
stage. When I did the film, I was young,fearless and ready to take risks.

Zoya Akhtars cast zooms off on long drives every dayNEWS
Film-maker Zoya Akhtar has devised new ways to ensure
that the actors starring in her film, Zindagi Mile Na Dobara,
share a great comfort level and are in tune with each other.
Since her movie is about a road trip of three best friends played
by Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol, besides the
lead girls Katrina Kaif and Kalki, Zoya has asked them to hang out
together everywhere
they go.
She even asked
the five actors to
take long drives
together so that they
could get friendly
with each other and
the chemistry would
eventually reflect onscreen. Besides, Zoya
has set up the sets at
a 40 to 45 minute
drive from the hotel.
This way the actors
leave together for
the shoot and return
together. The entourage follows them later. This gives them more
time with each other.
Unit sources inform that the actors are having a blast on the
sets with each other ever since. In fact, they have all become so
comfortable that they dont go out without each other so much
so that they even cycle and gym together these days. That sure is
a novel way of making work an enjoyable experience. The other
directors need to take a cue from Zoya.

Anil Kapoors new Papa!
Anil Kapoor has found himself a
new Papa and before you start
getting ideas...its none other
than Siddhartha Kannan. Recently
Anil went for a studio interview
for Sids show...When Sid
asked him the secret behindhow he was looking younger
by the day, Anil told him
about his five plastic
surgeries and his nose
rectification job.
However, knowing
his penchant for
humour, Anil
suddenly stood
up and called
him Papa Sid to
which Sid promptly
replied, I always wanted a son like you-
Beta Anil.
Anils daughter Rhea and music
composer Amit Trivedi went berserk
laughing at the Father -Son duo
having a blast with each other.
The icing on the cake was Anilasking Sid for his aashirwad
which Sid was more than happy
to oblige!
When asked about his
experience with Anil
Kapoor, Sid says, His
humility touches your
heart and his sense of
humour can teach a
thing or two to the best
of comedians.
Actress Mugdha Godse is merely
two films old and is eagerly looking
forward to her first horror movie
but the actress already has enough horror
tales to narrate. I knew it was too early in
my career to do such a film but then when
I heard the script, I simply couldnt say no,
she says.
In the film, Mughda plays the role of
Pia, the wife of a horror film-maker. We
have marital problems and in the midst of
the troubled marriage we have to rush to
Mauritius to visit my ailing father. Thats
where we find unusual things happening
around us.
The last time Mughda had a tryst with
ghosts was during her modeling days.
We were put up at a hotel and I was with
another model. I thought she was talking to
her boyfriend on the phone and asked her
about it. However, I later learnt that she
believed the same and we both continued to
hear the same voice through the night. We
changed our rooms the very next morning,
she recalls. After all the experiences, the
actress has now overcome her fear about
ghosts. She even makes it a point to watch
horror films now. I can afford to watch one
horror film every week now. And I enjoy
watching it in the dark, she smiles.
After Raavan, Aishwarya is looking
forward to working with hubby
Abhishek Bachchan once again.
We hear that the actress has agreed to
do a cameo in Rohan Sippys Dum Maro
Dum. According to sources often visited
the sets to meet her hubby. So when
Rohan Sippy wanted an actress for a
cameo, hers was the first name that came
to his mind. Ofcourse, Ash was more than
delighted to accept the offer considering
that she and Abhishek hardly ever got
time together with the many solo films
they had signed earlier. In fact, the two
have now decided that working together
is the best time spent with each other,
be it films or commercial. Coming back
to Dum Maro Dum, the action thriller
has Abhishek playing the role of an
undercover cop on the lines of his father
Amitabh Bachcans role in Zanjeer
during the 60s.
Now that the Pataudi
girl, Soha Ali Khan
has openly admitted
to being in relationship with
actor Kunal Khemu, we hear
more and more about this
latest Bollywood couple.
Sources reveal that when
Kunal celebrated his birthdayin May, Soha had also gifted
him a watch that cost her
Rs 4 lakhs. Kunal has been
happily flaunting his gift to
his friends ever since. In fact,
word goes that Soha has also
met Kunals parents and often
stays back at his home for
dinner, whenever she visits
them. However, though
both Kunal and Soha have
met each others parents,
marriage is not quite on the
cards for the couple yet, this
source reveals.

Qudos to Dev Anand
Ever green actor Dev Anands
energy is commendable. The 87-
year old actor, who refuses to get
bogged down by his age, is now set to
remake his memorable hit, Hare Rama
Hare Krishna. He recently revealed
his plans and also admitted that hewas planning to shoot the entire film
in Nepal like the
earlier version.
People often
keep asking me
about the remake
of Hare Rama
Hare Krishna
and this has been
going on in my
mind for some
time. I have
many scripts.
I am all alone
but not lonely.
If people can
remake Hindi
movies and southmovies here in
Hindi, why cant
I remake my own
film? What fun
is it to wear anothers shirt? he asked
enthusiastically
When asked if he would cast Zeenat
Aman in the lead again Dev Anand said,
Dont be surprised. I will cast anyone
who does justice to the role. India is a
beautiful country and there are many
young good-looking boys and girls on
the streets who dream of becoming
stars. They call me up saying that they
want to be film stars but are not getting
breaks.
Hare Rama Hare Krishna was
made keeping in mind the hippie culturethat was rampant in those times. There
were hippies in the
70s, now it is the
drugs he added.
Currently, Dev
Anand is busy
preparing for the
release of his latest
directorial venture
Charge sheet, a
suspense thriller
in which he plays
the pivotal role.
The film also stars
Samajwadi leader
Amar Singh as a
home Minister. I
met Amar Singhat a party and he
hailed me. I hailed
him back. He
asked me when I
am going to cast him in my film. I told
him about this role in Charge sheet and
he agreed. We shot at his home in Delhi.
He is very ---happy with the outcome.
You can feel the dream in his eyes he
concludes. Qudos to ever-green young
hero.

Mallika Sherawat now shifts her gaze to Bollywood
Manisha Koirala signs her first film post marriage
Mallika Sherawat is certainly
making hay in Hollywood
while the sun is still shining
there. But the actress is a bit anxious
that her Bollywood fans may soon
forget her and consider her a non-
entity here, which is why she has gone
ahead and signed a Hindi film with
director Indra Kumar. Reportedly,
Mallika has replaced Vidya Balan in
the much awaited sequel of Dhamaal
titled Dhamaal-2 after the latter opted
out of the film.
It may be recalled that Mallika has
not had a single Hindi release after
Dashavatar in April last year. Her
last two releases were both Hollywood
ventures namely, Hisss and Love
Barrack. We will have to wait and watch
whether Dhamaal indeed proves to be
a fun-ride for her after her tryst with
Hollywood.
Actress Manisha Koirala, who
quit the industry midway, is
looking at a second innings
in the industry post-marriage.
film Jai Bhim, in which she
will play the role of a hard-core
politician- a Dalit leader.
It may be recalled that
Manishas last movie was Partho
Ghoshs Ek Second Jo Zindagi
Badal De, after which she decided
to switch over to filmmaking. Later
she even trained in filmmaking
at New York and announced her
decision to direct a film. However,
the actress seems to have
postponed the project for now.
I dont know when I will start
directing it. First, I have to get myacting career back on track. Thats
why I am giving a lot of thought
to the movies I sign, she revealed
when asked about it.
Jai Bhim is being made under
the banner of Yograj Cinevista,
with the producer and director
both hailing from Dehradun. So
far only cinematographer Ashok
Mehta has been signed for the
movie.
The producers are now
planning to promote local
talent through the film and will
be shooting the entire film in
Dehradun to promote the place
through their film.
Salman Khan is no doubt known
for his obstinate nature and his
whimsical ways but the superstar
has always come for praise for his one
quality- his extensive charitable work.In fact, Salman does not spare a single
moment when it comes to espousing a
charitable cause. Recently, when he was
shooting for a film in Sri Lanka, Salman
chose the opportunity to continue with
his charitable work under the aegis of
Being Human foundation. The actor
provided a bright future for the poor in
Jaffna and Vavuniya, by organizing 500
cataract operations in both the cities in
a span of 10 days. He also flew down
four doctors especially from Mumbai to
perform the operations.
We are not surprised why Salman
Khans fan-following only seems to be on
the rise as the years pass by. Accordingto Deepak Anand, who worked on the
production team of Salmans last film
Veer and has just started an acting
academy in Bengaluru, students who
have started enrolling are keen to
know whether their favourite Salman
Khan will be part of the faculty. Anand
constantly jokes that he would need
military security if Salman Khan visits
the academy. The excitement and craze
for Salman is so huge he says.
Theres bad news for
those who were looking
forward to play the
role of Buddha in Ashutosh
Gowarikers next magnum
opus. Reports suggest that the
Rs 600 crores film which was
announced with much fan fare
has been shelved as of now.
Sources inform that
the producers had initially
announced the film on a grand
scale. However, as the days
passed by, they cut down their
budget drastically from Rs 600
crores to Rs 60 crores, which
Ashutosh did not accept kindly.
The subsequent changes in the
script also put the director offand he decided to wash his
hands off the project.
According to a source
associated with the movie, the
producers have now shut down
the pre-production unit of the
movie. They had started a unit
at J.W. Marriot which was going through the photographs and video of aspiring
actors for the role of Buddha. Bu the unit was shut down recently.
It may be recalled that Gowariker had even finalised an international crew
with big names like Karl Walter Lindenlaub (cinematography), Jarrod Linton
(pre-visualisation), David Ward (script-screenplay), David Russell (storyboard
artist), Glenn Boswell (action), April Ferry (costumes), Dileep Singh Rathore (co-
producer and line producer) and Nitin Desai (art) for Buddha. The movie, which
focuses on the life of Prince Siddhartha and his journey to enlightenment, was
scheduled to start by the year end.

AUGUST 15, 2010, AUCKLANDSTAR TALK20 WWW. LESS4U.CO.NZ
You seem to be on a career
high with four significant
releases this year. Which
one of them are you
particularly looking forward to?
I would say that the year started on
a very promising note with the success
of Housefull. I now have Yash Raj
Films Lafangey Parindey up for release,
besides Break Ke Baad opposite Imran
Khan and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se
opposite Abhishek Bachchan. The
interestingly feature of all these films are
that they all belong to different genres
and each of them has unique role for me.
I am glad that I am being offered different
roles and getting an opportunity to work
with the best of directors.
Tell us about your role in Lafangey
Parindey.I play a blind girl by the name of
Pinky Palkar who is confident, ambitious
and a fighter to the core. She knows what
she wants and where she is heading for
despite her handicap. I could well relate
to the character because thats the way I
am made. Like Pinky, I dont give up on
things easily and pursue my goals to the
very end.
Reportedly the role was a tough
challenge and you had extensive
workshops before you started
shooting for the film.
It is true that the role of Pinky Palkar
was not particularly easy. I play a blind
girl and doing all the stunts being blind
was not easy. I would often close my eyes,
practice them and later try them once
again with my eyes open. Nevertheless,
the fact that I came from a sports
background made things fairly easier for
me. My demeanor can be lady-like but
the moment I put on my track pants and
T shirt, I can be as good as the boys
on the field with a ball. My knowledge
of skating and Bharat Natyam, came
in handy, in the way I could pick up
the nuances of the character. Also, the
entire group of five boys and girls had to
be alert about the fact that I was playing
a blind girl. One wrong move could mar
the movie. So we had intense work shops
with blind people before we took on the
movie.
You have attempted stunts in your
last film too. How different was
this experience?
Earlier in Chandni Chowk To China,
I trained in martial arts for the role. I
did enjoy the stunts at that time too. But
somewhere there is a child in everybody.
There are days when you want to go one
step beyond your perceive limit and take
up the challenge, which is what I did in
Lafangey Parindey.
You have also been training inscuba diving and paragliding. Is it
for the same movie?
No it was merely to get out of the
phobia of creepy crawly creatures that I
decided to train in scuba diving. Now that
I am a certified diver, I have overcome all
such fears. Likewise, I had fear of heights
so I decided to take up paragliding. It
was a wonderful experience.
How was the bonding with co- star
Neil Nitin Mukesh?
I think I have discovered a friend for
life in Neil. He is a wonderful human
being and the bonding we share has come
across wonderfully on screen. We got
along really well during the shoot. There
was an accident scene, where I neededa different kind of make-up and Neil
was trained in it so he told the director,
Pradeep Sarkar that he would do my
make-up, which he did. On another day
when I was doing an action sequence
which needed a lot of cable work, he
choreographed the entire act. So I think
he was there for me all the time.
Do you find it easier to bond with
co-stars with whom you share a
certain relationship?
I dont know about that but I try and
concentrate on my work irrespective of
how far I am close to my co-star. At the
end of the day, we are professionals and
have to do our work.
It is rumoured that Salman Khan
and John Abraham are keen on
working with you.
I dont know why people assume
things and draw conclusions prematurely.
At times we actors do listen to scripts
which dont necessarily work out all the
time. I am indeed doing a film with John
Abraham which will be directed by Rohit
Dhawan but yes, I am dying to work with
Salman.
Do you go by your gut instinct when
it comes to choosing roles?
Not really. I am an actor and I need
to be convinced about the character I am
playing. It is important for me that I enjoythe process and also be part of projects
with the best of directors. Tomorrow I
should not have doubts whether I have
chosen the right film. Fortunately, most
of my films except Chandni Chow To
China have done well. This is my eighth
film and I would not know whether it will
be a box-office success. But I do want
people to stand up and acknowledge my
talent. I think the process has already
started after Love Aaj Kal. That is what
Adi (Chopra) said when he offered me
this role. I feel that if I am indeed getting
great opportunities, it means that I am
doing good work.

Labour Associate Ethnic Affairs spokesperson, Dr Ashraf Choudhary says theGovernment must take into account the financial struggle migrant and refugeefamilies will face if it introduces changes in the interest-free student loan
scheme.Labour introduced interest-free loans in 2005 to give more Kiwis the opportunity
for higher learning. After promising to keep the scheme in place, Prime MinisterJohn Key is now hinting at a back-track, Ashraf Choudhary said.
Many skills and qualifications gained in migrant countries of origin are nottransferable in New Zealand, and therefore it is vital new migrants undertake studyhere to achieve qualifications that are recognized, he added.
Earlier this week John Key spoke to students at Victoria University aboutstudent loan debt, and suggested that the interest-free student loan scheme doesnteconomically stack up, Dr Choudhary said. If National is toying with the idea ofbringing back interest it must seriously look at the deterrent impact that will have onmigrant and refugees gaining an education which is beneficial to their family, futuresecurity and to New Zealand, he revealed..
According to Dr Choudhary, student loans already create long-term impacts onthe financial security of families, such as buying a home and saving for retirement.Women also take twice as long on average to repay their loans, particularly whenthey take time out of the paid workforce to have children, he said.
