“He has always thought about his work ever since he started working . What else would a parent want?” said the “Dil Dhadakne Do” star, who has another daughter named Rhea.

Veteran actor Danny Denzongpa, who does not wish to be typecast as a character actor, rues the lack of quality roles for actors who are above 60 years of age saying unless one is Amitabh Bachchan, there’s nothing “substantial”.
“I don’t do much work these days. Actually, I never have. I get a lot of offers from influential corporate houses. But nothing that excites me.
“If I do smaller roles, I’ll be typecast as a ‘character’ actor. An appalling thought! Our cinema has nothing substantial to offer actors above 60 unless it’s Amitabh Bachchan. In recent times, I’ve enjoyed doing Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Baby’. Now, ‘Kabuliwala’.”
The actor is working on an adaptation of the classic Rabindranath Tagore story “Kabuliwala”. Balraj Sahni had done an adaptation in 1961 — but Danny says he’s not in any way trying to equal the intensity of the great actor’s portrayal.
“To equal Balraj Sahni is not even a possibility. He is such a great actor. I’m doing it my own way, hoping I’d make some impact,” said Danny, a brilliant actor from Sikkim best known for his villainous turn in films like “Agneeepath” and “Dhund”.
The emotional heft in the story of “Kabuliwala” left Danny completely moved.
When a young director named Dev from the Film and Television Institute Of India came to Danny with the idea of doing “Kabuliwala”, the actor fell in love with the suggestion.
“It is a modern take on the classic. But the basic story of a homesick Afghan dry-fruit seller’s ties with a little girl in Kolkata remains the same,” said the actor, adding that he has played the role with great restraint.
“My interpretation of this Afghan character is much more subdued than what I did as an Afghan in ‘Khuda Gawah’. In fact, I got the role of the Kabuliwala on the basis of ‘Khuda Gawah’,” he said.
Praising the film’s team, he said: “The co-actors are so committed. I am working with am actress from the Northeast, Gitanjali Thapa who is wonderful. I didn’t know she was a National Award winner. As for the director, it is so refreshing to work with a new talent.
“Dev is filled with innovative ideas. He is making ‘Kabuliwala’. But not the way it as been made before.”
Danny is excited about the role as it gives him a chance to display his range.
“My age span for the role is from 45 to 80. Lots of elaborate make-up will be done to make me look older. I am enjoying the challenge of doing a character which is emotional and relevant.”
The film’s shooting is nearly complete with just one song to be shot.
Danny is excited to see how far this film goes.
“The producer, Sunil Doshi, plans to take it to film festivals. This film is a process of self-discovery for me.”

Actor Hrithik Roshan says the action directors of “Mohenjo Daro” have pushed the envelope and churned out some “mind blowing action sequences”. And his favourite is the film’s climax scene.
Written, produced and directed by filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, the epic adventure-romance is set in the city of Mohenjo Daro in the era of the Indus Valley civilisation which dates back to 2600 BC.
Produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Sunita Gowariker, “Mohenjo Daro” is slated to release on August 12.
“The action directors have pushed the envelope in choreographing some mind-blowing action sequences for the film,” Hrithik said in a statement.
He added: “We have worked really hard on them. Risks and injuries are a part of it but when you see the final outcome, you feel it was all worth it. The climax sequence is particularly my favourite.”
The film’s trailer also gives a sneak peak into the same. There are four sequences where the action takes place in full force, including the fight with a crocodile.

From being a part of late legend Yash Chopra’s last film Jab Tak Hain Jaan to working with Karan Johar, who directs her in her forthcoming Ae Dil Hai Mushkil — Anushka Sharma, in eight years since her Bollywood debut, has been working with all the directors who matter in tinsel town. Ali Abbas Zafar, who has directed her in her latest film Sultan, says she is immensely talented.
“I couldn’t have got a better Aarfa for ‘Sultan’. She is a soulful actress with immense talent,” says Zafar, who cast Anushka in the role of a wrestler in the Salman Khan starrer.
Even Salman has praised her, saying she is “good”.
“It’s good to work with people, especially with talented people,” Salman had once said when asked about his experience of working with Anushka, who comes from an army background.
The actress, whose only connect to movies before she stepped in front of the camera was that she watched them, has been on a roll since Yash Raj Films launched her with “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” — an Aditya Chopra directorial — in 2008. And she has always been thankful to the team for believing in her.
Her second impressive role was in “Band Baaja Baaraat” with Maneesh Sharma, who made his debut with the movie in 2010 and has since become a well-known name having helmed “Ladies vs Ricky Bahl”, “Shuddh Desi Romance” and the Shah Rukh Khan starrer “Fan”.
The fact that she has worked with filmmakers as varied as Vishal Bhardwaj (“Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola”), Anurag Kashyap (“Bombay Velvet”), Rajkumar Hirani (“PK”) and Zoya Akhtar (“Dil Dhadakne Do”) has given the film fraternity and the audience a dekko at her versatility.

When she turned producer with “NH10”, she ensured she made the most of working with “Manorama Six Feet Under” fame director Navdeep Singh.
Singh lauded her for her dedication.
“I have not seen a dedicated actress like Anushka. She is extremely talented,” he said.
As for the future, she is also going to begin work with Imtiaz Ali soon in a film which will see her share screen space with Shah Rukh for the third time after “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” and “Jab Tak Hai Jaan”.
Interestingly, Anushka has already worked with the top three Khans of Bollywood — SRK, Aamir Khan (“PK”) and with Salman in “Sultan”.
It has been a learning experience for her.
“They all are unique and fun to work with, you get to learn so much from them. I am lucky that I got a chance to work with all of them,” said the actress, who sticks by the mantra “Do your work and mind your own business” to survive in filmdom.

Actor Vivek Oberoi is all praise for Salman Khan and his recently released film Sultan.
“It is great to see a big star (referring to Salman) going out and taking such a different kind of a role (wrestler in Sultan), different subject and doing so well with it. We should praise every good film and be happy for a successful film as it’s one industry,” Vivek told PTI.
In 2003, Vivek had called a press conference alleging that a drunk Salman had called him up 41 times, abusing and threatening him to come over to his house and kill him over his friendship with Aishwarya Rai.
The “Saathiya” actor later apologised to Salman, but the latter did not acknowledge the gesture. The two actors have since been careful about avoiding each other in public.
Vivek is yet to see “Sultan”, but he is happy with the success of the Aditya Chopra-produced film.
The Ali Abbas Zafar-directed film, also starring Anushka Sharma in the lead, has reportedly earned over Rs 100 crore since its release on July 6.
“I haven’t seen ‘Sultan’, but I have heard it’s fantastic. When I saw the trailer I loved it. I am really happy for the whole team for the phenomenal success as it’s good for the industry.
“And such kind of mass response and appreciation is humongous. I think it has done Rs 35-36 crore on day one and Rs 36-37 crore on day two and it’s fantastic,” the 39-year-old actor said, adding that he will watch “Sultan” soon.
“I will definitely go to theatre and watch the film,” he said.
Meanwhile, Vivek is quite excited about his next release Great Grand Masti, also starring Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Urvashi Rautela and others.
The third part of the “Masti” series is directed by Indra Kumar and is slated to release on July 15.

John Abraham says he grew up watching Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone and his Rocky film series made the actor more interested in movies.
Fitness freaks across the country look up to John thanks to his well-built physique and enthusiasm for fitness but the “Force” star says he has been largely inspired by Stallone.
“For me, fitness is religion. Daily fitness is religion to me. While I was growing up, (actor) Sylvester Stallone is the only one I looked upto. I have seen ‘Rocky’ series and I was inspired by it. Since then my interest in films grew,” John told reporters here at a promotional event of “Dishoom”.
Action comedy “Dishoom”, also starring Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez, is slated to hit the theatres on July 29.
John, 43, had a great time working with Varun on this film.
“Varun and I got along well. I am hopeful, in this film people will like our chemistry. We had fun,” the actor said.
When it comes to fitness, the 29-year-old “Badlapur” star struggles to match up to John’s dedication in the gym, while John finds it difficult to keep up with Varun on the dance floor.
At the event, both the stars gave gym tips to female scribes.
“Varun wanted to train everybody seriously at the gym. We wanted to give everybody tips,” the “Dostana” actor said.

At a time when actors are giving maximum attention to fitness, Varun Dhawan says he idolises superstar Akshay Kumar.
“I think there was a phase of six and eight pack abs but now it is back to a phase where health is important. Look at Akshay Kumar, he has been fit for so many years despite injuries,” Varun told reporters here at an event of his upcoming film “Dishoom”.
Varun says he wishes to be as fit as Akshay when he grows old.
“Akshay has tremendous fitness level. I wish when I grow that old if I can be that fit then it will be great.”
His “Dishoom” co-star John Abraham was also present at the event, where the duo shared some fitness tips.
“One should dedicate at least an hour to fitness, be it Yoga or anything else. Working out shouldn’t tire you, it should rejuvenate you. One needs to be fit and flexible,” he said.
The 29-year-old actor said his director father David Dhawan wasn’t too much into fitness but things seem to be changing now.
“The most difficult person to get to the gym is my dad. He just doesn’t listen to anybody. When I started threatening him about if he wants to see his grand children or not (that) is when he started going to gym. He goes for walk and it is good thing,” he added.
“I don’t have a strict diet as my metabolism is too high. Pizza and brownie with ice-cream is my weakness.”
He also revealed actress Parineeti Chopra has a special number in “Dishoom”.
“The song will be out on July 12. One tip I received from John was to have honey. Once she (Parineeti) was feeling weak and I gave her honey,” Varun said when asked about giving fitness tips to Parineeti.
Directed by Rohit Dhawan, “Dishoom” opens in cinema houses on July 29.

Actress Sunny Leone says being a part of films is not going to be forever for her.
The adult film star made her comeback to India with popular reality show Bigg Boss season five in 2011 followed by her debut film “Jism 2” the next year.
Sunny feels it is important for anyone who is in the entertainment industry to branch out and try other things.
“For me, it can’t be just about the movies. Unfortunately, that’s the world we live in. If you want to be successful as a business person or an entertainment person, you have to branch out in every way possible,” Leone told PTI.
“For me making movies is not going to be forever, it can’t be. It is not going to last. The big question always is- what is the plan then?” the “Mastizaade” star said.
After her debut film, Sunny went on to work in several movies like “Jackpot”, “Ragini MMS 2” and “Ek Paheli Leela”. She recently shot an item song with superstar Shah Rukh Khan for his upcoming film “Raees”.
The 35-year-old actress says she wants to make the most of the opportunity coming her way with no “fear” of not getting any work in the future.
“It’s not a fear, it is a reality. When you’re doing well, it feels this is going to last forever, so many offers come in. Luckily for me, those offers are there and everything is going amazing now.”
“But this is the time that if I don’t take the money I am making and invest it into something bigger than who I am, or could be bigger than what I am now, then I am silly,” she added.
Sunny has now branched out and launched her own perfume brand, “Lust”.
The actress, who was last seen in “One Night Stand”, says the decision to launch her perfume line was not impulsive.
“I am very calculated, so is my husband. We take calculated risks and invest in things. Nothing is done impulsively. We decide what is the best and this was the perfect thing to do,” Leone said.
The actress, who already has an online app-based game after her and has also penned a short stories, said she wanted to start her perfume line as she is a ‘product junkie’.

Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma’s Sultan is a hurricane which refuses to stop. The first weekend box office collection of the film is Rs 180.3 crore, according to trade. After a sluggish six months, the BO is ringing with ticket sales and the film has broken way too many records within five days.
The Salman Khan film had made Rs 142.6 crore in four days and with the Sunday box office collection of Rs 39 crore, the film is a breath away from entering the Rs 200 crore club.
The huge collection means that the film had already surpassed Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (Rs 129.7 crore) and Happy New Year’s (Rs 108.8 crore) record on the fourth day to become the highest opening weekend grosser, before Sunday even arrived.
#Sultan creates HISTORY… Had an UNPRECEDENTED 5-day weekend… Raises the bar for Hindi film biz… It’s a MONSTROUS HIT!
Sultan is the biggest opener of 2016, the film has done the highest business of all Salman Khan films and it has broken all records of this year. With its four-day collections, it is already the biggest grosser of the year having eclipsed the lifetime collections of Airlift (Rs 127.8 crore) and Housefull 3 (Rs 107.7 crore).
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh termed Sultan’s run ‘sensational’. “#Sultan continued its HISTORIC run on Sat, smashing records left, right and centre… Rewriting the rules of Hindi film biz… SENSATIONAL! #Sultan is UNSTOPPABLE… Setting new BENCHMARKS… Wed 36.54 cr, Thu 37.32 cr, Fri 31.66 cr, Sat 37.10 cr. Total: Rs 142.62 cr. India biz.”
The film is now quite close to the entire lifetime collections of the biggest grosser of the year so far, The Jungle Book that made Rs 184.5 crore.
The question being asked now is whether Sultan enter Rs 300 crore club. The actor has two films in Rs 200 crore club (Kick and Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo) and one in Rs 300 crore-club (Bajrangi Bhaijaan).
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. Sultan has also broken Salman Khan’s all previous films box office records.
No Indian has ever won an Olympic gold in wrestling and this is a hard fact. But what others can’t Salman Bhai can, after all ‘Bhai to Bhai hain’. And this is Sultan, an ordinary film, all about one man’s extraordinary fetes.
The movie hit theatres on Eid and, as expected, it’s on its way to break all box office records. Many also see it as Salman’s best film till date. That is debatable, since it offers nothing which was not seen before.
After being rejected by his lady love Aarfa (Anushka), an Olympic gold-aspiring wrestler, Sultan (Salman) vows to become a wrestler. And after just one month of rigorous training — yes, one month — he not only wins the state wrestling championship, but also challenges a wrestler double his weight category. That’s Salman for you!
So what happens next? Of course, Sultan beats his opponent. Don’t be foolish enough to ask how, because Bhai to Bhai hain.
So Sultan not only wins the state championship but also the heart of Aarfa and the duo together go on to write their success story in the corruption-hit 2010 Commonwealth Games. If you didn’t know, Arafa and Sultan had their names on two of the 101 medals India won at the Delhi event. But just before the 2012 Olympics in Beijing, Aarfa gets pregnant, but Sultan carries on and wins the Olympic gold.
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
So, all those who saw only Sushil Kumar winning silver in the 2012 event, the footage of an Indian winning gold in wrestling is now available in the your nearest theatre.
The success in Olympics makes Sultan arrogant enough to tell the media, in a very Salman Khan style: “Sultan ko sirf ek hi aadmi hara sakta hai..khud Sultan.”
Well, that sounds like Gabbar Singh (Gabbar ke taap se tumhey ek hi aadmi bacha sakta hai… khud Gabbar). May be Papa Salim, the writer of Sholay, was asked to give this valuable input in the film.
Sultan also asserts that he will next win the World Wrestling Championship to silence all his critics.
But in a tragic twist, Sultan loses his baby boy to an over complicated medical complication. This also results in his relationship with Arafa falling apart, again too complicated to be logical. In short, she holds him responsible for the death as he was away winning the world championship when his rare blood group could have saved her newborn.
An upset Sultan quits wrestling and vows to generate funds to open an O-ve only blood bank in his village. That’s the first half of this 2 hours 48 minute film. Need we say more.
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma starrer Sultan is out.
With government not doing much for his noble cause, which however will cater only to the small number of O-ve people, Sultan agrees to participate in MMA event to generate funds. From here, the movie takes inspirations from Mithun Chakravorthy’s Boxer (1984), Dharmedra’s Apne (2007), Shah Rukh’s Chak de India (2007) and Akshay Kumar’s Brother (2015) and gets dragged to an extent that it might leave you yawning and thinking “ye scene pehle bhi kahin dekha hai”.
It is a fight of cliches at this point. The wrestling mat has everything from an underdog beating a champion to a badly thrashed hero getting up to fight on imagining his beloved’s face and millions of prayers for the hero being accepted.
When faced with a similar situation in Apne,(ribs fractured during a fight) a Bobby Deol might have quit, but not Salman. After all, “Bhai to Bhai Hain”. The terrific title track — Upar Allah niche dharti Beech mein tera junoon — inspires our desi pehelwan to get up and give dhobi pachaar to give the movie an ending which Salman Bhai’s fans were waiting for.
Despite all loopholes, the movie has some powerful performances. Salman, of course does justice to a role only he could have carried on his broad shoulders. Only he could keep the audience glued to their seats as this not so extraordinary film. But then Salman has been doing it time and time again. He is the extraordinary persona and props up his ordinary movies.

Madaari director Nishikant Kamat has shown support to the makers of Great Grand Masti, which was recently leaked online, and spoke about creating an “eco-system” to fight piracy.
“Madaari”, which stars internationally acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan, was scheduled to be released on July 15, but it will now release a week later at the behest of the makers of “Great Grand Masti”.
“I think the film industry needs to be more supportive of each other,” Kamat said in a statement.
“While we were apprehensive to shift our date again to July 22, we felt strongly that the cause of piracy owing to the leak of ‘Great Grand Masti’ was more crucial, and as creative people we must all support each other and create an eco-system where we hopefully can survive through such tactical ways to fight back things like piracy,” he added.
This is the second time that the movie’s release date has been altered. Earlier, “Madaari” was to release alongside megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s “TE3N” on June 10 and then it was pushed to July 15.
“Madaari”, which explores a father-son relationship, also features Jimmy Sheirgill in a pivotal role.

The two students — Gautam Sudarshan and Ashish Paul — of Madha Medical College from Chennai, were arrested and let out on bail on July 6 for the act.
The video of the incident, recently uploaded on social media, wrung the hearts of even the strongest as it showed a youth on the roof-top of a multi-storeyed building holding a dog which he then cold-bloodedly threw off.
“This is absolutely ridiculous! I am appalled! These two medical students have thrown a puppy off the roof for fun,” Alia wrote on Twitter.
Anushka too condemned the act and tweeted: “This heinous act is a mirror shown to the society we (‘educated’) people live in. Punishment for this should be serious.

Director Ashutosh Gowariker says Pooja Hegde is an apt choice as the lead actress in his upcoming film Mohenjo Daro. Pooja is gearing up to make her big Bollywood debut opposite Hrithik Roshan in Mohenjo Daro.
“During scripting, I had envisioned a new face for the character of Chaani because I wanted someone without an image or perception attached to her. It had to be someone who depicted grace, dignity and strength, but yet had a girl like naive innocence,” Gowariker said in a statement here.
The Lagaan helmer revealed that it was his wife Sunita who was keen on having Pooja for Mohenjo Daro.
“It was actually Sunita who first noticed Pooja in a TV commercial. She immediately felt that Pooja had a certain screen presence, which once I saw the commercial, even I felt,” he said.
Gowariker immediately called Pooja and auditioned her.
“She was extremely quick on the uptake, took direction very well and was completely aligned with the character that I had in my mind,” he added.
Mohenjo Daro, the epic adventure-romance film produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Sunita Gowariker, is set to release on August 12.

In just four days since its release, the film is quite close to Rs 150 crore magic mark.

So phenomenal has been the reaction of people that Salman took to Twitter to thanks his fans.
Thx for appreciating sultan . Wld u want to watch my performance on #iifa tonite. sm thing like this..
If we talk about Salman’s own films from the past and their collection in three days since release, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo were on top. But this Eid release has broken all records. Bajrangi Bhaijaan made Rs 102.6 crore in three days and Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo garnered Rs 101.47 crore. Salman’s Sultan made Rs 105.34 crore in its first three days, and thus stands on top.
