Did you know? Bobby Deol complained about Manisha Koirala's 'bad breath'

In the 1990s, Bobby Deol gained immense popularity in Bollywood, especially after the success of movies like 'Gupt' and 'Soldier,' positioning him as the next superstar of his generation. 'Gupt' played a pivotal role in shaping Bobby's career, with its music contributing significantly to the film's success. Co-starring Manisha Koirala and Kajol, the 1997 film emerged as one of the biggest hits of its time. Bobby once shared a humorous incident from the film's making during an interview with Filmfare, where he jokingly complained about Manisha Koirala's "bad breath" while filming a romantic song.  Bobby Deol complained about Manisha Koirala's 'bad breath' Talking to Filmfare in 2001, Bobby Deol said, “I got along fine with her, though we didn’t become friends. While shooting for the song ‘Bechaniyaan’ in Gupt, she had to bring her face close to mine and then bite my chin for the shot. As she brought her face close to mine, I got a blast of had breath. She’d eaten chana chaat full of raw onions just before the scene. It’s a wonder how I even managed to do the scene. Because romance was the last thing on my mind then.” To retaliate, Bobby devised a scheme. He admitted to "tricking a newcomer" into consuming onions right before a scene with Manisha, ensuring she also experienced his simulated bad breath. He shared, "I wanted to get back at her. The fight master and I conned a newcomer, who was playing her brother, to eat onions. We told him that they were good for concentration and that they’d help him to emote better. He had to do a scene with Manisha. So we asked him to breathe heavily when he got close to her. The camera rolled and we waited with bated breath,” he shared. Bobby waited for a while to get a laugh but Manisha never reacted. “She never reacted. Our joke fell flat,”  Bobby had mentioned before that he danced despite having a broken leg while shooting this song. In a previous interview with Hindustan Times, he revealed that he fractured his leg during the filming, leading the choreographers, Chinni and Rekha Prakash, to create hand movements for him since he couldn't move his body. These hand movements later gained popularity as "Bobby Deol's style."

If someday he feels good in his costume, then he takes his pictures and send it to his sons (Bobby and Sunny Deol) and then his sons send him voice notes telling 'Papa you're looking good'. So, I just feel that he is a family man. He's got so much warmth and so much zest for life. Like when he is acting, he is really sharp, and he is just superb. He makes us laugh so much and his improvisation is always bang on! Sometimes we forget our lines, and we are like, "Oh no, we can't make him do another take." He is lovely, and it's a pleasure to work with him."

Saiee Manjrekar

When Bollywood beckons

Five years away from Bollywood might seem a long gap for some, but for Saiee Manjrekar, it has been the best time of her life working on herself, garnering experience through Telugu films, and exploring a new industry. An industry she never plans to quit for the interesting work it offered her during the lockdown. However, she is returning to Hindi cinema with new vigour and her new film, Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay. Not only is her role pivotal to the storyline, but the underlying messaging pushed her to take up the role. “The film [drives home] the message of women empowerment and sheds light on how a woman’s partner and family should be supportive of her dreams and ambitions. I was selfish in choosing a role that is the driving force of the film,” says the actor, who is paired opposite singer and debut actor Guru Randhawa for the romantic comedy. Saiee Manjrekar and Guru Randhawa in Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay Manjrekar shares that in Randhawa, she found a friend for life. “We got along since day one. Our friendship is translated on screen. Working with him has been a lot of fun.” Manjrekar will follow up Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay with director Neeraj Pandey’s Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, also starring Tabu and Ajay Devgn. Working with the two celebrated actors wasn’t only professionally exciting but also fulfilled Manjrekar’s personal wish. Without divulging much, she says, “The film has translated beautifully on screen and is one of the best film experiences of my life. Being in a film with Ajay sir and Tabu ma’am was a dream come true. She has been my dad’s favourite actress for years.”

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya

'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' movie review: AI-yo!

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha JiyaU/A: RomanceDir: Amit Joshi, Aradhana SahCast: Shahid Kapoor, Kriti SanonRating: 2/5 Such is the title of this film that I’ve watched its trailer (once), bought its ticket (twice), and obviously watched the whole movie since—yet, I’ve had to Google before typing what this picture is called, on this page! Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, of course, refers to the famous song by Canadian-born desi singer, Raghav Mathur.  But its choice for the film’s title the size of a sentence, making an abbreviation (TBMAUJ) necessary, probably relates to a time-tested practice of similarly naming Bollywood romances after popular lyrics. This is a film on love between a man and a robot. Have the filmmakers therefore pulled off a proper Bollywood song & dance, shaadi-sangeet pic, with artificial intelligence (AI) as its central theme? Yes. And that’s the reason I was excited about it, in the first place. The genre feels inclusively fun and fluffy to ensure basic footfalls. Which is quite different from the only piece of similar desi content I’ve watched thus far—the Disney+ Hotstar series, OK Computer (2021), that felt far too convoluted and pretentious, beyond a point. The flip side of this film’s tone/genre is that it’s packed with such an OTT, stereotypically Delhi-Punjabi family, and other caricatures for characters, deliberately descending towards thorough silliness, that you might want to replace the rest of the humans in the movie with AI as well! Only one character here is a robot. That’s Kriti Sanon’s—long neck, piercing eyes/gaze, high cheekbones, manned by an admin. This is a performance that’s totally robotic—seemingly okay to have been phoned in. For once, I mean that as a complete complement for the lead actor! A perfectly fine, desirable bloke (Shahid Kapoor) falls for this AI in the garb of a hot woman. They hook up almost instantly as they meet. It’s hard to imagine exactly what they must’ve done in bed together.  Do robots have sex? As we speak, through virtual-reality headsets, it is possible to simulate a sexual experience with AI, although that’s not what’s happening here. That said, while this film is set in the science fiction space—humans showing up as holograms; robots recreating the human world, with superior, automated/machine learning—the fact is, we already live inside what was once sci-fi in cinema. Most of what’s going on here is technically possible. What’s the final frontier for AI then? Render humans useless, what else. The general assumption around AI has also been that it’ll master replicable tasks first. I sense the reverse has turned out to be the case. AI appears to have attacked artistic pursuits—design, architecture, painting, even literature—far more, lately.  What about Sanon’s protagonist Sifra in this pic? Well, so far, not so much. The character doesn’t get jokes, sarcasm, and irony—although in a way that many humans don’t either! She can feel emotions, off and on. She kisses passionately. Such that the hero mysteriously falls for her, and indeed wants to be with her! How do you explain that? Well, I guess if genuine companionship trumps momentary sex, maybe human-robot compatibility might well be the future of relationships—probably not in our lifetime, but who knows. Aren’t we already in a long-term relationship with our cellphones? Still, there’s only a motherboard inside Sifra, the machine. And that can always be gamed, if doesn’t go rogue/faulty on its own—breaking Issac Asimov’s first law for robots; i.e. thou shalt not harm humans. Hell, they can! Do any of these pertinent thoughts pass through my mind, while watching TBMAUJ? Only mildly, if at all. The filmmakers are way too busy attempting a comedy, with hardly a joke that lands, for us to be thinking about the essence of its purpose/point as much.  I’m not saying they should’ve gone deeply meditative, like Spike Jonze’s prescient masterpiece, Her (2013). That’s a call they took. But just a few pauses and strong moments for pennies to drop could salvage a script far more obsessed with a commercially safe fam-dram—barring the revival of golden oldies; Dharmendra (credited with Singh Deol), Dimple Kapadia—before fatigue eventually sets in.  As you can tell, I loved the idea behind this rom-com. I guess, over time, we will see more resonant stuff reflecting on this theme. By which I don’t necessarily mean the closing slate of this movie that confidently announces, “To be continued…” *YUCK  **WHATEVER  ***GOOD  ****SUPER  *****AWESOME

Janhvi Kapoor

Have you heard? Janhvi’s triple treat

Even as three of her projects—Mr and Mrs Mahi, Devara Parts 1 and 2, and Ulajh—are being readied for release, Janhvi Kapoor has as many as four movies lined up to begin this year. First up, the tentatively titled RC 16, slated to go on floors this summer. Buchi Babu will direct the pan-Indian offering, also features Ram Charan. She is teaming up with Suriya for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film, Karna. Apparently, Janhvi will portray the role of Draupadi in the two-part mythological drama. Later, she will reunite with Bawaal co-star Varun Dhawan and Dhadak director Shahshank Khaitan for a romantic comedy backed by Karan Johar, in between the two diverse movies. The film is slated to go into production this June. Mithun hospitalised Mithun Chakraborty was hospitalised in Kolkata on Saturday. Reportedly, he complained of chest pain and discomfort in the morning and was rushed to a private hospital. In the evening, Mithun da’s son, Mimoh, said his father was admitted to the hospital for a routine sugar-level checkup, as per reports. He assured that the veteran actor is now fine. Reports claim the actor underwent an MRI earlier on Saturday, and other medical tests were also conducted. Padma Bhushan winner Mithun da has won three national awards in his lifetime. Main nahin hoon Don Ranveer Singh is preping to play the titular role in Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3, which goes on floors this summer. But, apparently, he was not Farhan’s first choice to step into the iconic role essayed by Shah Rukh Khan in Don: Chase Begins Again and Don 2: The King is Back. Apparently, the filmmaker had first approached Ranbir Kapoor for the third instalment of the action thriller franchise. It is being said that the Animal actor had some reservations about the script and wasn’t too thrilled by the idea of taking up the role. So he politely declined the offer. Change in Tiger, Pathaan face-off plans It appears that Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s Tiger vs Pathaan will take a little longer. Rumour has it that producer Aditya Chopra is looking to begin another film under the YRF Spy Universe first. Apparently, the filmmaker wants to build up the intrigue around the full-fledged reunion of the two superspies with another thriller. The idea is to pave the way for Salman and SRK’s high-octane, action-packed face-off on-screen with another spy story that will interconnect the two narratives. Guess we will know in the coming weeks what Adi is planning for his growing spy universe. Bonding with Bond Jaideep Ahlawat recently had a surreal moment. He met the man behind the wonderful storybooks he had read as a child, legendary writer Ruskin Bond. The actor shared his joy with the world with pictures from his meeting with the icon. Along with the pictures on his social media handle, he wrote, “The name is Bond… Ruskin Bond. What a surreal day!” Alongside his autograph on Jaideep’s personal copy of Collected Short Stories: Ruskin Bond, the author wrote: “Good wishes and good luck for all your future work in films and elsewhere.”

Tiger Shroff

Fight to the finish

In October last year, Rohit Shetty announced the new addition to his cop universe—Tiger Shroff as ACP Satya—who will join Ajay Devgn in Singham Again. Barring the scenes that introduce Shroff in the film, a major portion of the shoot has been completed. After wrapping up the Jordan leg of the shoot for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan with Akshay Kumar, the actor has reported on the sets of the actioner and has been shooting with Devgn for a week at Film City. “Matching dates is always a struggle in multi-starrers,” says an informer, crediting Shetty for managing the impossible with his meticulous planning. The director is keen to wrap up the shoot of the cop thriller by the end of February. “Right now, major portions of Tiger are being canned. [Because] after this week, Ajay will get busy with promotions for his film Shaitaan; there’s a [race] to meet the deadline. The makers are hoping to shoot most of Tiger’s scenes by the end of this month,” adds the source. Singham Again, set to release on August 15, will also introduce Deepika Padukone in her cop avatar.
