Farah Khan will recreate the magic of 70’s by presenting her new girl, Deepika Padukone romancing with the 70’s legends Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna and Jeetendra in her forthcoming flick, Om Shanti Om. Farah Khan has left no stone unturned to give realistic essence to the film. All this was made possible with SFX.

Farah added that SFX had been used in the song where Deepika dances with Sunil Dutt, Jeetendra and Rajesh Khanna. Deepika plays the character of a star from the 70’s era, and thus, dances around the leading actors of that decade. Farah is very excited about seeing the legendary heroes dancing again on screen.

A similar sequence was created in the opening scene Jaan-e-Mann, directed by Farah’s husband, Shirish Kunder, where Salman receives an award and is surrounded by the actors of the 70’s.

Om Shanti Om stars Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone and Shreyas Talpade in lead roles. The film will hit the screens on November 9

It’s currently very hush-hush …and rush-rush.Warner Brothers first Bollywood film Made In China, with Ramesh and Rohan Sippy of Sholay-Bluff Master fame serving as the Indian producers, will start shooting in China from January 2008.

Shanghai, Beijing and a village near Beijing are the locations selected for India’s first film to be shot in China.

Even more unique is the maritial arts discipline selected to make the actioner look virgin-virile.

Akshay Kumar who hasn’t done a full-on action film in seven years, is currently joined at the ‘hype’ with his lissome co-star Deepika Padukone to train in a subtle strain of martial arts known as Wushu whose chief practitioner on the large screen so far have been Jackie Chan and Jet Lee.

Akshay Kumar has always idolized Jackie Chan and has to an extent, modeled his career on his Chinese peer. In Made In China he gets to do a full-on homage to his idol. Read the rest of this entry »

He’s just had smash hit with Chak De India and now the Badshah of Bollywood will be returning in a couple of weeks time and this time with a home production.

NDTV has an exclusive look at Farah and Shahrukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om.

Om Shanti Om, Farah Khan’s second film as director after the superhit Main Hoon Na is a tribute to Farah’s favourite decade, The 70’s.

It’s a love story between Shah Rukh Khan, who plays a struggling actor and a former model Deepika Padukone. But it’s not a run of the mill story.

“It’s a strange love story in the sense that it’s not a conventional love story not boy meets girl and the girl loves the boy without giving away too much. It’s very unusual I would say it’s half a love story and then it goes to another space,” said Farah Khan, Director. Read the rest of this entry »

Young new faces coming in to Bollywood have been impressive. Jiah Khan stunned in Nishabd. Asin stunned Aamir on the sets of Ghajini. Now it’s time for actress Deepika Padukone to get her share of the newcomer’s limelight. In her first public appearance that is remembered on Koffee with Karan, she seemed to be just the recipe for sizzling the screen. Armed with gorgeous looks, she seemed to be taking in her first steps into the industry well.

While she is already hand in mouth over her experience working Baadshah Shahrukh Khan, it seems that once the movie is released she will be the most talked about – for a while atleast. Her look in Om Shanthi Om is impressive as seen on Koffee With Karan. What’s more impressive is that she is young and therefore raring to go. She saw Shahrukh Khan in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai when she all but eleven years old and now she acting opposite him 10 years later. Luck surely has come her way.

All said and done, the actress has seemed to start on the right foot with her debut film. Don’t be surprised if she gets producers running to her with offers even before the movie releases. The first look of the film shows her in excellent light.
