Ayushmann Khurrana in 'Vicky Donor'

With the success of his debut film ‘Vicky Donor’ (2012), actor Ayushmann Khurrana has expressed his desire to play more realistic roles, rather than the typical heroic roles, and it looks like that’s exactly what’s happening.

Having impressed many filmmakers with his debut performance, Khurranna has a number of roles already lined up, such as his upcoming role playing a ‘nautanki walla’ in Rohan Sippy’s ‘Nautanki Sala’, One India Entertainment report the actor explaining “The best part is all the roles that I am playing are real or close to reality. I have done theatre so I could relate to the character in ‘Nautanki Saala’.”

Also signed opposite Sonam Kapoor in a Yash Raj Films production, Khurrana’s other release written by ‘Ishaqzaade’ (2012) writer Habib Faisal, will see him playing a man struggling through a recession, “It is a love story in the times of recession and I play a guy who is hit by recession. It is a Habib Faisal kind of film, very real.”

From TV to the big screen, Khurrana sure has done well for himself, where he goes onto say, “Things have changed for me as an actor. We are living in an era where transition from TV to films is easy. I have made it quite successfully. I was around for four years, anchoring shows, taking interviews, watching the industry as an outsider. It is a nice shift, it is ironical.”

Veena Malik in search of a hero in new film

Pakistani actress from ‘Bigg Boss’ fame Veena Malik is now on the lookout for a new hero to star opposite her in her next film ‘The City That Never Sleeps’. Malik plans to search for the new face through a contest.

“In this contest, I will choose a boy opposite me who will be my hero in this film. I am very excited and I believe that new talent should get a chance,” Malik said at a press conference held for the film.
At the press conference Malik also clarified that her version of the Swayamwar show (Veena Ka Vivah) will no longer be happening.

“The Swayamvar was happening but something happened and Swwayamvar didn’t happen. Right now I am concentrating on my career…so now is not the right time. If it would have been, the swayamvar would have happened,” Malik explained.

Malik is currently shooting with her ex-flame and fellow ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant Ashmit Patel for “Supermodel” and Kannada film that was initially named ‘Dirty Picture: Silk Sakkath Maga’.

'Race 2' to break records set by prequel?

This week sees the release of action thriller ‘Race 2' which is said to have opened in no less than 50 countries worldwide. Early indications show that as far as first day collections go, it may just do better at the all important box office than it’s 2008 prequel ‘Race’ and also 2012 Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Cocktail’.

This is particularly prevalent at the Indian box office where ‘Race 2' seems to be doing well, achieving 70-80% occupancy, as per One India Entertainment. So much so is the film’s popularity that trade analysts are predicting a whopper of a first weekend collection for the Abbas-Mustan film. In contrast, it is thought that ‘Akaashvani’ which also released in India today is receiving a very poor response.

The reviews of ‘Race 2' approve a very classy and stylish exterior but not many are praising the story too much. Look out for our review at BizAsia very soon.

Saif-Kareena not to work together in films

Having just got married less than three months ago, one would assume that Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor would be lined up for films together. However, rumour has it that the actor doesn’t want to work in the same films as his wife.

As Times of India report, both actors have decided to stay away from each others professional lives. The report also read that Khan had instigated the way in which scenes that are meant to portray, a sense of playfulness, end up turning dull.

With this said, nobody can really blame Khan after the failure of many of their films together such as ‘Tashan’ (2008), ‘Kurban’ (2009) and most recently, ‘Agent Vinod’ (2012) not doing so well. Undoubtedly Khan and Kapoor Khan are both outstanding actors in their own right, however it looks like they have both made a smart move with this decision.
