Girls nxt door who can't stop drooling September 08, 2010 11:22
f looks could kill, Hrithik Roshan would easily be charged for mass murder. Rippling muscles, devastating light-green eyes, a killer smile, an affable charm coupled with the T.D.H factor is what makes Rakesh Roshan Jr. click - and in a big way too. Ask any shutterbug worth his Nikon and he can't stop raving aloud about those oh-so-purrfect muscles, that dreamy good look, that abundance of confidence, the obvious talent. And best of all, ask the girls next door who can't stop drooling over the latest pin-up boy to stormed the industry. They are the best barometers of all. And to cap it all, ask the trade watchers and they'll vouch for the fact that the Roshan dude is red-hot right now. The filmmakers simply love him, and what's more, they can't stop raving about his (yup, again) phenomenal talent. 'He's like magic on screen. He's going to be a super-star... I tell you!' insist the movers and shakers of movie town. And as if that wasn't all, Hrithik is rumoured to have bagged Shah Rukh Khan's next homeproduction (no less), to be directed by Farah Khan. Ask him and the shy guy shrugs, "Yes, the negotiations are on." Over to Hrithik now for an online chat. Girls hold on to your hearts, guys don't turn green. But read on nevertheless.. We heard somewhere that you initially wanted to become a director?"I've assisted my dad for five years. And it is true to a great extent that, yes, direction is my first love. But ever since I can remember I've always wanted to act. I was fascinated you can say, completely bitten by the acting bug. I want to do all kinds of roles. To experiment, to evolve as an actor. Direction can wait now. Maybe in the future, when I'm ready for it, I will direct. But right now I can't look beyond acting. I eat, drink, sleep and even dream films now. These days, I have a one-track mind. Work is my top priority. Acting is all that matters." How was it working with your first heroine, the pretty and petite Amisha Patel?"It was very comfortable working with Amisha. She's completely chilled out and non-filmi; so it's very easy to get along with her.There were times when I needed her to adjust with me during my scenes, she would do that without batting an eye. Even I would help her out with her scenes. We shared a terrific chemistry. In fact, I'm even doing Mohan Kumar's film with her which is being directed by Vikram Bhatt. Amisha's gonna go a long way, mark my words." And how would you rate yourself as an actor?"Oh, I'm never satisfied. I'm always trying to aim for more, I'm a perfectionist. Honestly, sometimes when people praise me, I want to tell them to stop it. Call me modest or whatever, I'd rather let my work speak for me."Hrithik what's its like to be the centre of attraction?Centre of attraction who me??? Really oh okay If you say so (big laugh follows) Do you think its because of your work or is it because of your incredible looks???I think its important to have the looks to some extent but its what's inside you which people get to see and that's what makes someone popular or unpopular. So I think it's not the looks in my case but it's my work as an artist, which has earned me the respect of the people at large you know you are hugely popular in Pakistan would you like to visit Pakistan?Yes I know and of course I would love to visit Pakistan whenever it's possible and meet all my friends there and get to know people there.There is no difference when it comes to people its unfortunate that India and Pakistan are always at logger heads and I really hope and pray that things get really better between neighbours and I am able to visit Pakistan.Do you think there is a chance things between India and Pakistan would improve in the near future?I am no politician I have no idea how things will be in the near future but its my heartfelt wish and very strong desire that both countries become friends and sooner the better because its only the poor masses which are suffering in both countries. And all these resources wasted on other things could be better spent on Health, Education, Infrastructure and Welfare of the people who are really in need of help on both sides of the border.what would you say to your fans both sides of the border???My message to everyone is love and peace, Life is too short to waste it .we could be helping build each others future and our generations to come will be for ever indebted to us.So lets make the most of it and spread a song of love and happiness. Hrithik is such a humble person it's unbelievable that for someone of his stature is so down to earth and friendly to everyone he speaks softly and gently but carries his message with a conviction. Its true in his case it's not just his looks which win fans over but it's really his personality, which makes him immensely popular.

As a hero he reached to the pinnacles long back, now he is also revived his father's prestigious banner Annapoorna Studios and becoming one of the most successful producers in Tollywood. If there were an industry of cool, Nag would surely be the CEO, wrote a newspaper about him recently. On the occasion of his new film Super's release, he spoke at length about his career spanning two decades and his personal life. Excerpts from a long chitchat with the style icon.When did you feel that you have arrived?Definitely after Geetanjali. Though I had hits before that like Majnu and Collector Gaari Abbayi, it is Geetanjali that brought me new fans and I came out from my father�s shadow with that. And Shiva firmed up my position.You have achieved stardom very fast. Did you ever feel that the stardom encroached your privacy?Being a star it has disadvantages too. But when you weigh advantages with disadvantages, this lack of privacy is a petty thing. You have to sacrifice such things for it. As far as I am concerned, I can enjoy like any person in Hyderabad. I do go to movies in Prasads like you people do and visit friends� homes without any fuss here.What are the other disadvantages being a star?You will always be in the public eye when you are star. Every step is closely being watched. When you make a mistake, the media will rip you off. So one has to take care not to err and make mistakes. But again, as I said, being a star is great feeling. All these sacrifices are the price that you have to pay for being the star.Any depressed moments?No. I too went through spate of flops in my career at one time particularly after Shiva but I never felt depressed. Failures have made me realize how bad films that I had done and learnt from the mistakes.Which are the best films you feel in your career?My all time favorite is Shiva � for everything. And for Annamayya because I liked the film as an audience more than anything else.In your career spanning two decades there were also very bad films. In retrospect, which do you rate the worst films that you have done?Yes there are many bad films but I dont want to name them. I always wonder people still like me even after the duds that I have delivered, especially when I think of some of the bad movies I have done, I feel I am blessed one to stay for this long. Sometimes my kids say watching those films,You are the only star who strictly not works on Sundays. What is the reason behind this decision?I believe acting is not the be all and end all of life. I have a life apart from the movies. Thats why I take Sundays off. After my shoot finishes, I immediately head off to my home and enjoy quality time with my family. I also go to Maldives regularly for scuba diving.What is the secret behind your fitness?I lead a healthy life. I have been swimming regularly and also practicing yoga these days. Speaking of swimming and scuba diving, it was during my honeymoon in Hawaii that Amala and I signed up for the introductory course of scuba diving there. We were hooked and returned the next day for the beginners' course and the next year for the advanced course. Since then I every year we head for there and do scuba diving. And I regularly do swimming to keep my body fit. Yoga has changed my life recently. It has brought in lot of healthy changes in me.It seems you have become mellowed over the years!I have always been gentle and calm person. But I have matured over the years. As the age grow, you tend to look everything right perspective. And you handle the situations maturely. Probably that is the reason behind my recent successes as producer, I have of late been handling maturely with the buyers, technicians and et al. I know what I want and how to handle it smoothly.There is also talk that you hardly take risks for films?That is misconception. I am hardworking actor like any other top star. I hard work till the shoot ends for the day. Unlike others, I don�t involve much after the shoot finishes. Probably my calm nature makes people believe I am very cool and thanda about everything.Who are your favorite actors?Amitabh Bacchan and Sridevi.

"I AM" is about you,me and everyone April 25, 2011 16:39
In today’s era of more and more realistic movies coming up, that revolves around the confusions, dilemmas and painful journey of a common man, “I am” is one such film, where after watching it, every audience will relate themselves, with the situations/roles in the film. The flick, released on 22nd April, directed by Onir, who earlier directed movies like Bas Ek Pal, My Brother Nikhil and so on… The Starcast includes Big names like Juhi Chawla, Manisha Koirala, Nandita Das, Rahul Bose, Sanjay Suri, Purab Kohli…. “I am” is produced by Onir & Sanjay Suri and Juhi Chawla, Jay Mehta, Sangita Modi and Anish Modi are the associate producers of the film… Andhra wishesh team happened to meet Juhi Chawla, one of the star cast & associate producer of “I am”… To know what Juhi talks about “I am” and her perspective on “Today’s Women”, read more… AW: You are one of the producers of “I am”, you are also acting in the film. Both put together, from which perspective you are seeing “I am” as. Juhi: Well, this is the toughest question that anyone could even think about. “I am” is one such film in which every actor want to work, so did I. I did not even have a second thought on accepting the film when Onir approached with the script. As far as producing the film is concerned, show me One commercial film maker, who would be interested in producing the film where there is no guaranteed returns for your investment? But my belief in the script and on the Director Onir, made me produce “I am”. AW: So what is “I am”? Juhi: “I am” is about you, me and everyone today. In our so called happy lives that we are leading today, everyone has got a darker side. We in “I am” are trying to talk about that “darker side”. AW: So, can we assume “I am” to be a message – oriented film? Juhi: We are not here to give messages or change people through our film. But yes, after watching “I am”, we want everyone atleast to think about all those aspects in their lives, that otherwise, we try to hide even from our family. AW: We hear some Big names in the starcast. How's it working with your co – actors? Juhi: Oh, it has been a wonderful experience. “I am” revolves around four different stories. Every character in all these four stories is common, but at one stage or the other each one has gone through many unimaginable situations. I am sure while watching the film every spectator would be shocked while certain scenes come up, and yet would definitely not feel odd. AW: How was the experience working with Sanjay Suri? Juhi: He is a sweet – heart. He is very much passionate about films. The one common thought of making a sensible movie associated us. AW: Being a Woman, what is your perspective about “Today’s Women”? Juhi: Today’s Women is a go – getter, multi – tasker, confident and smart. On the contrary, we, women are facing many awkward situations, sexual abuses, harassments from our colleagues, family members, at one point of time or the other in our daily lives. I personally feel development and negativity both are running parallel in women life today. AW: Finally, what is Juhi? Juhi: “I am” an Actress, a Film Maker, a Mother, a Wife, a counselor, and yes “I am” a Women.
