Why Anushka kissed Shahid

    She insists that the scene in 'Badmaash Company' wasn't to attract attention

    After playing a simple girl-next-door, Anushka Sharma has gone in for an image makeover in ‘Badmaash Company’ where she not only wears stylish clothes but also has a kissing scene with Shahid Kapoor. The model-turned-actress says the script demanded it and it wasn't meant just to attract attention.

    "I don't see it as a kissing scene. It's a part of the screenplay. I think cinema is changing and we are not doing (kissing) for the heck of it. We do not need to do this (kiss on screen) to attract attention," Anushka said.

    "When you see the film, the kind of chemistry Bulbul (her character in the film) and Karan (Shahid) share, the kind of love that's there between them, you will be able to understand that the scene was justified," said Anushka, who made her debut as a small town girl in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

    The 22-year-old claims the audiences will be able to relate to the characters in the film as all of them represent the middle-class dreams.

    "This film is about four friends, their relationships and the trials they go through to achieve their goals. All the characters are extremely relatable because they come from middle-class families with big dreams and aspirations. We have all been like that. Their dreams are really big. They have not got any patience...They want to do it right away," she said.

    Set in Mumbai of the 1990s, ‘Badmaash Company’ is about four youngsters who start a business and find a way to beat the system.

    Anushka's gang in the film comprises Shahid, Vir Das and Meiyang Chang. And she says they gelled well.

    "When we travelled outdoors, we got to spend time with each other...We hung out, ate out, went to the pub. Good that we got along very well because it was a pre-requisite of the film," said Anushka.

    ’Badmaash Company’ is actor-turned-director Parmeet Sethi's first outing as director. Anushka says Parmeet knew the characters inside out, but was still open to others' ideas.

    Anushka enjoys not being a trained actor because it allows her to visualise scenes naturally.

    "I quite enjoy the fact that I'm not a trained actor...If you are experienced, you have a certain method of acting, but I haven't discovered that method yet. There is a positive side of not being a trained actor. When I get a scene, I see how naturally it should be done. People call it natural acting and that is also a method," she said.

    Asked if she wants to explore any particular genre, she said: "No, I am not looking forward to any particular genre. I'm open to doing films of every genre and with different directors. There are so many things that I would love to do - a period love story or an action film."

    But Anushka finds acting a difficult profession and says her hectic schedule leaves her with little time for her friends.

    "I never wanted to be an actor. I wanted to remain a model. Had I wanted to be an actor I would have been more observant about actors. After 'Rab Ne...' I realised that it's a very difficult profession. You don't have time for your personal life, for your parents, and your social circuit becomes very small because you are working day and night," she said.

B.O. update: 'Badmaash Company' starts off very well

    Badmaash Company After HOUSE FULL opened to an excellent start last week, it was the turn of BADMAASH COMPANY to open to a heartening start at the box-office. Shahid Kapoor's last major release CHANCE PE DANCE [not counting PAATHSHAALA] had fetched a below average start, so it was imperative that BADMAASH COMPANY fetch a good start at the ticket window. The opening numbers of BADMAASH COMPANY were an impressive 80% to 90% at places, while at places it ranged from 45% to 75%, which only improved towards the evening shows.

    The opening weekend of BADMAASH COMPANY is expected to be better, given the fact that the film has tremendous youth appeal and that in turn should witness an escalation in business. Overall, the film should have a very good weekend, which reinforces Yash Raj and Shahid's pull at the ticket window.

    The second release of the week, IT'S A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE, had a disastrous start at the box-office. The opening was in 5% to 10% range and since the reports are terrible, the numbers are not expected to show a major jump on Saturday and Sunday.

MOVIE REVIEW: Badmaash Company

    Actor turned debutante director Parmeet Sethi made a startling confession on my show, a few days ago. He said, he had completed the entire script, with dialogue, in six days flat. I was apprehensive initially, but not once does BADMAASH COMPANY give you the feeling that it's a hurried job or the debutante writer-director, in a bid to start his first film, had left blanks incomplete.

    The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. The adage holds true for the youth of today, who wish to attain the riches overnight and take an easy route/shortcut to climb the ladder of success. Just when you start thinking that you've conquered it all, that you're God, a stroke of bad luck brings you back to Ground Zero, to experience the harsh realities of life.

    Parmeet walks the tight rope of handling a complex subject and offering entertainment simultaneously, in his very first film. To his credit, the film has several poignant and enjoyable moments that catch you by complete surprise. While the film has it all -- the writing has the power to keep the viewer hooked -- the film has a handicap in the form of its second hour, especially the penultimate 25-odd minutes.

    Let me specify! With a running time of approx. 2.30 hours, the extra footage in the end -- Shahid and friends trying to salvage his uncle's business -- only adds to the length of the enterprise. Ideally, the film should've ended when the friends forgive each other and shake hands, after a series of personal and professional setbacks.

    Final word? BADMAASH COMPANY is a decent attempt, with several captivating moments and power-packed performances by each and every member of its cast. We often grudge that entertainment-laden films make no sense these days, but this one entertains and also makes sense. Watch it!

    BADMAASH COMPANY is set in the 1990s in middle class Mumbai, of four ordinary youngsters [Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Meiyang Chang and Vir Das], who came together to start an import business of things longed for by yuppie Indians. What made their venture such a stupendous success was the fact that they found a way to beat the system and soon became the undisputed kings in their business, realizing their one dream of making quick money is by doing all the wrong things the right way.

    Living the life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams, the four friends discover that to make a business successful, you don't need big money. All you need is a big idea. All is well and hunky dory till one day the four maverick entrepreneurs are forced to shut shop.

    The best thing about BADMAASH COMPANY is that you identify with the mindset of those who aspire to reach the pinnacle of success using shortcuts. The scams and the con games the youth indulge in are easy to decipher and least complicated, which works in its favour. Another strong point is the camaraderie that the four actors share on screen. The film would've fallen flat if the chemistry was missing, but the bonding looks so real that you forget that they are merely enacting those roles.

    BADMAASH COMPANY has some terrific moments. The sequences in Bangkok are enjoyable. Ditto for the showdown between the friends in the post-interval hour. The transformation in Shahid's persona is also beautifully depicted. But, like I pointed out at the outset, the second hour tends to get repetitive and the penultimate 25-odd minutes are a strict no-no.

    Pritam's music is foot-tapping and almost every song has been filmed very well. Sanjay Kapoor's cinematography is just right.

    Every actor puts his best foot forward in BADMAASH COMPANY. Shahid gets it right yet again. It wouldn't be erroneous to say that this is amongst his finest works. Watch him blow his lid in the restaurant sequence and also in another sequence, when he meets a pregnant Anushka. He is confidence personified in those sequences.

    Anushka is a revelation. She looks stunning, her performance is livewire and the chemistry with Shahid is electrifying. Strangely, she took a backseat after her debut in RAB NE BANADI JODI, but BADMAASH COMPANY will bring her back in public eye. Vir Das is another surprise. He's in terrific form here. The film marks the 'birth' of another talent -- Meiyang Chang -- who adds a lot of freshness and zing to his character. Anupam Kher is wonderful. Kiran Juneja makes her presence felt. Pawan Malhotra is extremely likeable.

    On the whole, BADMAASH COMPANY is a watchable experience for various reasons, the prime reason being it offers solid entertainment, but doesn't insult your intelligence. Recommended!

    RATING: 4/5

Exclusive: Check out SRK sporting a moustache and glasses in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi


    Of late, the Baadshah of Bollywood- Shah Rukh Khan has been maintaining a low profile. After all, he has been busy shooting for two of his upcoming films namely Priyadarshan' Billoo Barber and Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. But you can't keep King Khan out of action and out of news for long. Can you?



    Shah Rukh Khan was spotted shooting for Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi along with newcomer Anushka Sharma at the beautiful Golden Temple in Amritsar early this week. However, what caught our instant attention was the fact that King Khan was sporting a moustache during the shoot. This was a far cry from his look in any of his recent releases and did come as a pleasant surprise. SRK has earlier sported a moustache in films like Paheli, Army and English Babu Desi Mem to name a few. But his look in with specs et al in this Yash Raj production has taken everyone by surprise. This time around, looks like the actor is playing a matured character. Wonder what other surprises director Aditya Chopra has in store for all of us. As for newcomer Anushka, she looked every bit the Punjabi kudi.



    Must say after seeing Shah Rukh in this new look, the curiosity to know more about Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi only increases for all die-hard SRK fans.

Heavy rains destroy SRK's 'RNBDJ' sets

    Aditya Chopra who is back to the director’s seat after eight long years had to go through a heavy loss before the completion of his movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi . Chopra commenced shooting from May 16 at Filmcity. A huge set was constructed in film city where Chopra was shooting with Shah Rukh and his new actress recently. Unfortunately the set has been destroyed due to the heavy rains.

    It is believed that Rs 4 crores was spent to build the set. When contacted YFR spokesperson Monika confirms, “Yes it’s true that the set which was erected for RNBDJ has been destroyed due to heavy rains. They started shooting on May 16 and finished that shooting schedule long back so the destruction of the set does not matter. They have finished the schedule in film city and they are now shooting in Yash Raj studio.”

    Setbacks and losses are not new for big films. Tragedy is a constant companion in the film production business. It can be recalled that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was shooting in Film City when the sets at the studio caught fire and the total gear of the movie was destroyed.

    RNBDJ is Shah Rukh’s third film with Aditya Chopra after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Mohabbatein and film buffs would like to see the magic being recreated on celluloid.

Rab Ne Banaya Jodi

    Yash Raj’s latest discovery Anushka Sharma may have landed a dream role, but there is also a dream man in her life. It is learnt that the newbie’s beau is Bangalore-based model Zoheb Yusuf.
    Anushka makes her B-Town debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

    The model-turned actress has been close to Zoheb ever since they began walking the ramp together a few years ago. Last year, Zoheb had the honour of being the first Indian to feature in a United Colors of Benetton ad an opportunity that came his way through the Elite Modelling Agency.

    Like Anushka, Zoheb was also trained by Bangalore-based fashion designer-choreographer Prasad Bidappa and featured in all his shows. Zoheb studied at St George’s Homes, Ooty, and Baldwin Methodist College, Bangalore.

    Zoheb also has B-Town aspirations and now shuttles between Mumbai and Bangalore. He says, “Films were something Anushka never planned for. I don’t think she ever wanted to do films or move to Mumbai for that. This role was just offered to her and she took it. All I know is that she has the lead role opposite Shah Rukh Khan. She has signed a contract that forbids her from speaking about the project.”

    Interestingly, when Mid Day Bangalore was launched two years ago, a picture of Anushka and Zoheb was carried in the inaugural issue. She was quite upset as she did not want her parents to know she was seeing anyone!

    She studied at Army School and then took up the Arts at the pre-university level at Mount Carmel College, Bangalore. her family used to live in Koramangala in Bangalore. Her dad is in the army and her brother is in the merchant navy. Now her family has moved along with her to Mumbai. As of now, they live in Malad.

'Anushka has the spark’

    If Farah Khan had SRK romancing 21-something Deepika Padukone, Aditya Chopra has gone a step ahead and got him a 19-year-old leading lady.

    Aditya, who last directed Mohabbatein and is rumouredly making an Indian take on My Fair Lady , has signed model Anushka Sharma for the lead role opposite Shah Rukh. And in typical Adi style, barred her from speaking about the film!

    However, people who have worked with the model earlier say there is a star quality about the girl. Bangalore’s style guru Prasad Bidapa says Anushka’s star quality was evident even when she was brought to him by her parents when she was just 13.

    “She was very tall and beautiful even then,” recalls Prasad. “Her parents were keen she should do some modelling without losing out on her studies, so she started off very easy and gently. Even then, one look at her and you knew she would hit the big time soon. Her and SRK’s age gap won’t matter, we are used to that in our films.”

    As Yash Chopra says about her, “We were looking for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small town Punjab and Anushka fit in perfectly. And while she has no previous acting experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be a standout even opposite SRK.”

    Designer Wendell Rodricks is one of those who say he spotted a special something in the young model. “I recognised that quality she had – innocent yet beautiful – and took her to Mumbai to the fashion week to model for me. Anushka has an expressive face that can look tragic at times and youthful and shy at other times.”

I was never offered Adi’s film: Sonam

    Sonam Kapoor feels relieved now that Aditya Chopra has finally found a girl for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in Bangalore-based model Anushka Sharma, who will star opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the film. B-Town buzz was that Sonam was to be part of the project.

    Says the Saawariya actress, “Ever since the project was announced, there was speculation about me being in it. I was never offered the film. I don’t know where the whole thing started. To be honest, I did visit Adi a couple of times like any other actor. But not for any particular role.

    Maybe people saw me entering Yash Raj. Nowadays, even if an actress passes by Yash Raj, she has signed a film with them.”

    But Anushka does resemble Sonam? “Does she? Hmm... Is that a compliment to me or to her? I never even approached Adi for the role. I had a reason not to. I know it required someone very Punjabi-looking and young.

    I’ve just played a full-on Punjabi kudi — salwar-kameez sharara-gharara and all, in Rakeysh Mehra’s Dilli 6. Even in Saawariya, I was in Indian clothes. Now I need a change of pace and grace.”

    She adds, “I’m not signing anything in a hurry. I’ve all the time in the world and the best advisor any actress in Bollywood could have — my dad (Anil Kapoor).”

    Apparently, Sonam was also offered the role Barbara Mori is doing in Anurag Basu’s Kites with Hrithik Roshan. Wouldn’t this sizzling heroine’s character change Sonam’s demure image?

    She is tight-lipped about the Roshan project. “All I’ll say is I’d never compromise on anything. I’d never do anything where I would have to cringe at the premiere.”

Adi creates Chandigarh in Mumbai

    Aditya Chopra is recreating the Punjab outdoors in Film City to save time shooting for his directorial comeback

    For his new movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Aditya Chopra will recreate Chandigarh in Film City, Goregaon, where he will shoot the exterior portions of his movie. Earlier, in Mohabbatein, Adi had passed London off as Nainital.

    Says a source, “The story of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is based in Chandigarh. Adi has been busy supervising the mega set erected at Film City’s Devdas Maidan. They are doing it all — from the sarson-ke-khet to the outside of the actress’s Anushka Sharma) house.

    The interiors, however, will be shot at a set, which has been erected at Yash Raj Studios. Both these sets will be done in the next 10 days or so and Adi will begin shooting for the film.”

    The source further adds, “The shooting will kickstart without Shah Rukh though. The actor will only come in the last week of the month-long schedule, which Aditya has planned.

    After this shooting stint, the unit leaves for an overseas location with SRK.” The movie is due to release on December 12.

Meet SRK's New Heroine - Introducing Anushka Sharma



    The whole of the cyber world is in a tight spot since yesterday. The reason being that since yesterday, whenever someone did a synonym search for the words ‘beautiful’, ‘stunning’, ‘elegant’, ‘attractive’, ‘striking’, ‘gorgeous’, all the results lead to just one synonym, and that is ‘Anushka Sharma’. If you are still wondering ‘who on earth is Anushka Sharma?’ then let us spill the beans, that this is the name which will be echoed for eras to come by one and by all, because she is the answer (read ‘blessing’) to Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan’s long, long patience for the lead star opposite the King Khan in Aditya’s next directorial venture Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (RNBDJ). It’s a common knowledge that both Aditya and Shah Rukh have been scouting the lengths and breadths of the country to find the lead heroine for RNBDJ.

    Now that Anushka has signed Yashraj’s dotted lines, we are very sure that the her fingers will very soon develop biceps, not for any other reason, but for the only reason that she will have to give autographs to her would be zillion fan following… which are simply the makings and the markings of the ‘Yashraj Heroine’.

    “Don't cry for a man who has left you, the next one may fall for your smile. And we are sure that we are indeed the next one”

    They say that every true love story has a happy ending. If the ending isn’t happy, then it’s not a true love story at all. Well, looking at the happy face and infectious smile that Anushka is blessed with; one thing is for sure that Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi will surely make the audiences happy by the end.

    “Rumors that go around are rumors - until you experience it for yourself.”

    Well, if the rumors about Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’s lead heroine were true then, needless to say that Anushka Sharma would still be an unknown name, coz’ there were rumors that Sonam Kapoor was signed as the lead. But by signing the fresh and effervescent Anushka, all the rumors have been put to rest!

    “For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see,
    Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be”

    With the King of Romance Shah Rukh Khan himself romancing you (on screen of course), is there anything left on your ‘Impossible Dreams’ wish list, girl? After Deepika Padukone making a dream debut opposite SRK, Anushka is the next super lucky girl.

    “I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”

    For this Bangalore girl who has never faced the camera before, except for walking the ramp for Wendell Rodricks, it is indeed a dream come true; even before she could have ever dreamt of dreaming about it!

    “If you do not get the right person as your role model, then simply roll yourself inside out and become your own role model.”

    If you ask Anushka about her well maintained body and lustrous hair, you can only hear her Whisper that the secret for her Silk & Shine hair is her dedication towards her hair-work and work-outs, for which she could just be travelling in her Fiat Palio.

    If you are wondering that there’s something strange about the abovementioned line, then, let us tell you that if you read between the lines, you will get to know the products that this chic has endorsed when she was a model.

    “Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it.”

    It is always said that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. But looking at jumpstart that Anushka has got, we doubt if this debutante will have any stopping!

    "You are bound to get up every morning with determination, if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction."

    And if a dream debut in the most prestigious Yashraj banner is not satisfying enough, then, what is??? We bet that you will agree with this. After all, jiski Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, bhala us par koi kaise maar paayega hathodi? What say, Anushka!
