Ayushman Khurana is gearing up to work on his next movie, after the super-success of his debut film Vicky Donor. His performance in the film received tremendous critical acclaim. Talking to us from Kolkata, the Roadies winner says movies will be his focus for now “Vicky Donor has been one of the biggest debuts in the last decade. For now, movies are on my agenda. I will be more selective about my TV projects”
Asked about how he is handling his new found fame, Ayushman says “I am surely relishing the added fame and attention that I am getting now, but I know how to handle fame. It’s all in your head. If you start taking yourself too seriously, you will end up killing yourself”

Here are some of his upcoming films in 2012 and 2013

1.‘Hamara Bajaj’ produced by John Abraham (who was also the producer of Vicky Donor).
2.Director Rohan Sippy’s untitled next.
3.Sequel to Ali Zafar’s 2010 hit Tere Bin Laden.

The utterly romantic film could easily also be the corniest. Kunal Kohli’s films usually flit between the two.
When Teri Meri Kahaani begins with a message about serendipity with two babies born in the same hospital (one girl, one boy), you’re worried. But then on till interval, it’s a breezy ride.
We’re in 1960s Mumbai—beautiful architecture, lavishly empty roads, rain-soaked streets. We’re shown this section in Charlie Chaplin-esque frames explaining the emotion of the moment (“Uff!!!”). We also see Shahid Kapoor playing Govind and walking the Chaplin walk. What could have been unnecessary and grating, Shahid pulls off with aplomb.
He falls in love with a star (Priyanka Chopra) breaking the heart of the girl next door. The love story remains incomplete, and we move on to present day UK. This university romance full of emails, Facebook updates and SMSes is also a tad complicated. We’re then taken by the scruff of our neck to pre-independence India, where an inter-religion romance blossoms.
We’re not explained the reasons to why we are presented three romances in three eras. No heavy reincarnation mumbo-jumbo, no od-ing on true love transcending lifetimes. This time, and quite out of character, Kunal Kohli has kept the proceedings light and without unnecessary burden.
You enjoy the way Kohli has modelled each of the characters with love and nuance. You enjoy the detailing of each era whether it’s a flirtatious encounter on a tram, a character living in ‘Britannia Guest House’, a film being shot in ‘Wattson Studios’, or the excellent styling.
The dialogue is effortlessly sparkling—one era discusses the importance of adding a smiley at the end of a text, the other is a rendezvous of poetry exchanges, and yet another is flirtatious and witty.
While it may offend some, the film is not afraid to insinuate a young romance in the midst of the freedom struggle. But the second half is relativiely timid and does not keep up with the energy of the first.
The performances sparkle with earnestness and zing. Shahid Kapoor is so good in the film, he’s sure to increase his fan-following several fold. He’s excellent in each of the stories, and one can imagine viewers debating on where he was the best. Priyanka Chopra matches step with a superb performance easily slipping in-and-out of the layered characters with dexterity. Teri Meri Kahaani holds your attention whether it’s the writing, storytelling, or the technical aspect. It’s a popcorn cruncher, but that’s also fairly intelligent and hearty. Recommended if you’re in the mood for a rom-com.
Rating: Three stars

The 4 day celebrations for Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani’s Wedding Card began today. I have some exclusive images of the beautiful wedding card of the couple.

The card has been designed by Mumbai’s famed invitation card makers Multi Creation. The couple approached Mr. Kamlesh, the designer after doing a lot of market research. They brain stormed along with the designer to bring fort this amazingly beautiful and classical invitation box.

Cards for various ceremonies prior to the wedding day are placed in this exquisite golden & cream colored re-usable box. Moti Choor ladoo & dry fruits were sent to the invitees.

The couple wanted a Lotus to be engraved on their wedding card. Hence Kamlesh creatively designed the cover of the box with an OM & SWASTIK along with gold plated initials of Esha and Bharat.

KSR wants Big B to play the big brother!





Director K S Ravikumar is all set to start shooting for his debut Bollywood venture from next month. The director reveals, “We will go on floors from August 15, and the first schedule will be held in Hyderabad, and will be joined by Sanjay Dutt, Prachi Desai and Prakash Raj, who plays the main antagonist. We will continue shooting in Wai and Mumbai.” He adds, “We’ve approached Amitabh Bachchan to play Sanjay’s elder brother in the film. We will meet up with Big B once he is fit to finalize the details.”
The film, loosely based on the Tamil hit Saamy, has Himesh Reshammiya (of Dasathavaram fame) composing the scores. “While Sajid-Farhad will pen the dialogues, I’ve taken care of the screenplay. Producer P P Aggarwal is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that the film comes out well,” he says.
