Madhuri Dixit on why Dedh Ishqiya is India's Thelma And Louise

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It seems the seven year itch is over. Looking resplendent in a lime green anarkali suit, Madhuri Dixit Nene is back to light up the screen with her 1000-watt smile as Begum Para in Dedh Ishqiya.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> If Ishqiya was sober, the team promises that you will be drunk on this instalment of what could soon become a franchise film.</div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguunPTZV8oJjMmD9xK0EDISn_5PsHwRPIdGzPDgZRnJR4NW1LDZr6w3lijc1NhBiF8w17w6A40pN0AVO9ksilxR2cRJmpomrzJnS6_dbBC3KTyv0cYpBSxilTl9aP1wQ1GLZ1d7LZbPbc/s1600/Madhuri+Dixit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguunPTZV8oJjMmD9xK0EDISn_5PsHwRPIdGzPDgZRnJR4NW1LDZr6w3lijc1NhBiF8w17w6A40pN0AVO9ksilxR2cRJmpomrzJnS6_dbBC3KTyv0cYpBSxilTl9aP1wQ1GLZ1d7LZbPbc/s1600/Madhuri+Dixit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Often called the last female superstar, Madhuri Dixit said the current scenario is far more interesting for women in cinema. "I am so happy to see women behind the camera, as scriptwriters, as directors. I am enjoying my craft a lot more. Playing Begum Para was interesting. She is mercurial, many layered and complicated," she said.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Apart from the adventures, or rather misadventures, of Babban and Khalu played by Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi, Dedh Ishqiya is a lot about female bonding never seen before on Indian screens - "A la Thelma And Louise," said Madhuri.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Co-star Huma Qureshi, who was brave enough to shake a leg with the dancing diva, said that her character Munniya epitomises "'womaniyat', a desi girl, with full on modern day attitude."</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The actors feel that it's an exciting time for the industry as actors are no longer being pigeon-holed into being romantic, arty or action.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Naseeruddin Shah said, "Unconventional looking actors have proved that a hero is one who can deliver the goods irrespective of what he may look like, and you have actors like Nawazuddin, Vijay Raz who have broken the mould."</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> On the question of commerce and the 300 crore club, Naseeruddin Shah didn't mince his words saying, "Its the most vulgar way to define creativity." The actor, who came out strongly against several movies, also was critical about his last film Jackpot ."It makes me cringe the kind of stuff I have done," he said.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> So, will there be a 'Dedh Ishiqya and A Half' in the near future? Well, they say it all depends on how the viewers receive this one.</div> </div>

Rakesh Roshan says My son Hrithik deserves happiness

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> As Hrithik Roshan turns 40 on Friday, his father and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan says that he would never work with any other actor, unless he is making a women-centric drama like Khoon Bhari Maang.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Rakesh Roshan had launched his son with the blockbuster Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Later they worked together in the Krrish series.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljvl0imk2TAVHLZ9OLGWImokg57gkBxyZ_J0jea1PmK4Z-ZTFU2mmp3v7fqBCgt5SSBTKw5UAfoXLYSAQxuovmtZYJxAe8Mfu-hPjYrQ2s0_ILwUZoCI5rlIv_bXZHAlt8dSQWXUTuiA/s1600/Rakesh+Roshan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljvl0imk2TAVHLZ9OLGWImokg57gkBxyZ_J0jea1PmK4Z-ZTFU2mmp3v7fqBCgt5SSBTKw5UAfoXLYSAQxuovmtZYJxAe8Mfu-hPjYrQ2s0_ILwUZoCI5rlIv_bXZHAlt8dSQWXUTuiA/s1600/Rakesh+Roshan.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Getting emotional, he said: "He can work with outside directors. But I'd never work with any other actor, unless I am making an out-and-out heroine-oriented film like Khoon Bhari Maang. I might be tempted to make a film with a female protagonist, but only if Hrithik is too busy to work with me."</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> "When I was an actor, I could feel a filmmaker lurking within me. But I was never satisfied as an actor. I had a big hit like Kaamchor. But that helped Jaya Prada's career, not mine. I knew god wanted me to be a director," he added.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Rakesh predicts that Hrithik too will direct a film some day.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> "Now I feel Hrithik, who is such a successful actor, far more than I ever could be, has a filmmaker lurking within him. He will one hundred percent direct a film some day. Mark my words, he'll be a very fine director. I am sure of that. He may not be a good producer, but he'll be a terrific director," he said.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The father-son duo's recent hit was Krrish 3.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Rakesh has enjoyed Hrithik's films outside the family banner.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> "I liked his performance immensely in Jodhaa-Akbar, Agneepath, Guzaarish and specially Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara in which he had to play a normal regular guy. That's really difficult to do. He never let us feel a superstar was playing that role," he said.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Recently, Hrithik announced that he and his wife Sussanne have parted ways after the latter decided to annul their marriage.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> "My wife and I want Hrithik to be happy and at peace with himself, no matter what," said Rakesh who looks forward to launching Hrithik's sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan - as heroes.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> "Provided they want to be in films.
