I no longer blow my own trumpet: Kareena

Kareena is the golden girl. Just when you started feeling sorry for her for bringing in her 27th birthday on Sunday all alone far away from family friends and boyfriend in Ladakh she surprises everyone and herself by seducing destiny to change its mind.

Nursing seriously sore throat, Kareena cheers herself up by informing that Saif might be visiting her in Ladakh for her birthday.

"I get the feeling that he's going to surprise me on my birthday. I know he'd want to. So yes, I'm pretty sure we'll be together on my birthday," she says with a sigh and gives Saif full marks for being an understanding boyfriend.

"He never complains about the lack of time between us. He knows this is the best time of my career. After Jab We Met the roles are just getting so much more interesting. Saif is extremely supportive. Besides he's very busy himself. So we snatch whatever time we get together."

Kareena says she has no time for anything besides work. "Such is my life these days.I've no time for family friends…or even for love.

Even the few hours that I have between schedules I use to shoot for endorsements, or whatever. So yes this is the most rewarding time of my life. But I miss my time with my mom, my sister and niece," sighs Kareena from Ladakh on the eve of her 27th birthday.

"I'm here in Ladakh for one of the most important films of my career Idiots. It can't get any hotter than Aamir Khan and Raj Kumar Hirani."

Throw Kareena into the dish and you have a real appetizer, I tell her.

Kareena laughs modestly. "I'm not saying that. I no longer blow my own trumpet. But it does feel good to be here shooting with such a brilliant team. I can't think of a better way to bring in my birthday.

But at the moment I'm feeling very under the weather. I landed here in the cold in Ladakh from the heat of Delhi and my throat has gone really sore. But work will go on."

As for the birthday on 21 September she'll have to celebrate it without family. "Mum can't brave it to Ladakh in this weather.

This was the day the ghastly bomb blasts in Delhi.

"In fact," shudders Kareena. "I was in Greater Kailash (the area where one of the bombs went off) in the morning of the blasts. It is so disturbing when such a thing happens right where you are. Why should anyone want to harm normal law-abiding peace-loving people?"

Looking forward to being together on her birthday, Kareena could possibly be getting a new Saif Ali Khan film for her birthday.

"He does want me to be in his next production Agent Vinod. But for me to agree to be in it both he and his partner (Dinesh Vijeyan) will have to plead on bended knees after not having me signed for their first film."

Drona is my biggest, my best: Abhishek Bachchan

The countdown has begun for the two biggies that are slated for release this Idd: DRONA and KIDNAP. A lot is riding on these two films.

In terms of economics, both are expensive films. Plus, the careers of Abhishek Bachchan (DRONA) and Imran Khan (post JAANE TU… YA JAANE NA) are at stake. Will DRONA live up to the humungous expectations?

"It's my biggest and best film so far," Abhishek Bachchan tells me. He's supremely confident this time. "I don't speak like this, do I? But DRONA is different. It's the most expensive film I am associated with. Besides, Goldie (Behl; the director) has executed the subject remarkably," he states.

Abhishek and Goldie have got together after more than seven years (BAS ITNA SA KHWAB HAI was released in July 2001).

In between, in 2006, Goldie had plans of making a thriller with Abhishek, but decided on making an adventure fare instead. "Goldie was disheartened after his debut film failed. Later, he diversified into television; he wanted to make his company secure before he announced his next film," Abhishek reminisces.

Abhishek credits his directors for the (sterling) performances he has delivered in films like YUVA and GURU (Mani Ratnam) as also SARKAR and SARKAR RAJ (RGV).

"If at all DRONA works -- and I hope it does -- Goldie should get the credit for it. He has worked very, very hard. I am sure, the Indian audiences haven't seen an adventure film like DRONA before," he says confidently.

Abhishek has worked in the DHOOM series as also SARKAR and its sequel. There's talk that a sequel to DRONA is in the offing.

"Oh yes! Goldie has written so much in the intervening period that he's ready to take the DRONA series forward. In fact, the possibility of a sequel can easily be explored," he adds.

Romance Never Dies

An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep but the wife felt romantic and wanted to talk.

She said, "You use to hold my hand when we were courting."

Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to ep.
sle
A few moments later she said, "Then you used to kiss me."

Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep.

Thirty seconds later she said, "Then you use to bite my neck."

Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.

"Where are you going ?" she asked.

"To get my teeth!"

Mary McCormack

Full Biography

Already an accomplished stage actress with credits in regional theater in her native New Jersey as well as in numerous Off-Broadway productions, attractive, blonde player Mary McCormack made her film debut with a small role in John Hughes' 1994 remake of "Miracle on 34th Street". A part opposite Robert Mitchum in 1995's little seen spoof "Back Fire!" followed, but her real breakthrough came on the ABC drama series "Murder One". A veteran of TV legal dramas, with guest appearances on the similarly themed "Law & Order" (NBC, 1994) and "The Wright Verdicts" (CBS, 1995), McCormack played the regular role of the high-minded and devoted junior attorney Justine Appleton. Her work attracted the attention of audiences and the casting agents for the much hyped film of radio personality Howard Stern's memoir "Private Parts" (1997). Given Stern's reputation, McCormack initially opted to pass on the part of his long-suffering wife Alison, but she was talked into reading the script by her agent. Excited by the dimensionality of the character, and the overriding love story theme of the script, she accepted the role. The film exposed her to a wider audience, and her heartfelt and humorous portrayal of Mrs. Stern not only changed minds about the self-proclaimed King of All Media, but opened eyes to the actress' abilities.
Featured roles in 1998's "The Alarmist", as Stanley Tucci's scheming assistant, and "Deep Impact", as a pilot, followed, and a busy filming schedule led to her near ubiquity on movie screens in 1999. She was an infertile woman married to a religious fanatic in "Getting to Know You" (which debuted at Sundance) before playing a DEA agent in "Harvest", a drama about farmers growing marijuana to financially preserve their land. McCormack was also featured as a romantic partner for director-star Clint Eastwood in the thriller "True Crime" and portrayed the wife of a small-time hockey player (Russell Crowe) who ends up in a game versus the New York Rangers in "Mystery, Alaska" (1999), a film produced and penned by David E Kelley. Additional projects featuring the actress included "The Big Tease", a comedy co-starring Frances Fisher and Craig Ferguson (who also scripted) about a small town Scottish hairdresser who enters the hairdressing world championships in Los Angeles; a supporting turn in "The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy"; and "Gun Shy" (all 2000), a Eric Blakeney action comedy film starring Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock which bombed out of the gate. She also starred with Minnie Driver in the woefull crime comedy "High Heels and Low Lifes" (2001) as one of a pair of downtrodden regular gals caught up in a blackmail scheme, but the actress fared better in the ensemble of writer-director Bart Freundlich's film "World Traveler" (2001). She also had a fine but underutilized turn as Jeff Bridges' wife in the dramedy "K-PAX" (2001). McCormack was particularly excellent as the depressed, lovelorn masseuse in "Full Frontal" (2002), director Steven Soderbergh's arty,low-tech and chilly meditation on Los Angelenos. She next appeared as the adoptive mother of David Spade's full-grown ex-kiddie actor in "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" (2003).

In addition to her numerous film appearances, in 1999 theatergoers saw McCormack return to the stage in a high-profile role utilizing her capable singing voice. She succeeded luminaries Natasha Richardson and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Sally Bowles in the popular Broadway revival of "Cabaret". A versatile performer, McCormack is convincing playing anything from a fresh-faced siren to a hard-nosed law enforcer. She returned to the stage, this time in London, as one of the stars of Neil LaBute's "bash, latter day plays", a collection of one-act plays.

A look at Anil Kapoor starrer international film, Slumdog Millionaire

If you thought that the most easiest way to become a crorepati is by participating in the innumerable game shows on TV, then its about time that put on your (re)thinking caps! If actors like Big B, SRK, Govinda and Anupam Kher made millionaires out of the common man on TV, then, our very own Anil Kapoor has come up with a 'Jhakaas' idea of making millionaires on the silver screen! He will be very soon seen playing the role of a quiz master in the Hollywood flick Slumdog Millionaire which is being directed by the Hollywood ace Danny Boyle. With the kind of reports that the film has been carrying, it has already become the talk of the town even before its release! And the good news is that the most eagerly awaited film of the season is gearing itself for a North American release on November 28th 2008, courtesy Warner Bros. and Fox Searchlight.

Till then, here is a dope on the film for all the curious souls! Slumdog Millionaire has all the ingredients required that goes in the making of a 'masala' film, including comedy, romance, drama interspersed with some emotional moments! It's a tale of an 18 year old orphan, who is a 'resident' of the Mumbai slums. The film shows him participating in the Indian version of the worldwide hit TV show 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' which has got Anil Kapoor as its host! But the plot gains momentum when the teenage participant gets arrested on the grounds of malpractice and that too at a time when he is just one question short of hitting the jackpot! It is here when he pleads for his innocence by recalling his life in Mumbai, and also 'revealing' the secret behind his success on the show.

Shot in one of the ten most haunted castles in the world in'1920'

Mumbai, Sep 4 (IANS) Vikram Bhatt's supernatural period love story "1920" was shot in a castle in England which is one of the 10 most haunted castles in the world, said Anjori Alagh who is playing the second female lead in the film.

"1920" which was shot in Allerton castle situated in Yorkshire in northern England, the largest county of Britain, is seventh among the list of top ten haunted castles in the world, said Anjori.

"The huge castle was located in a lonely place where there was nothing around. Though nothing happened during our whole schedule, we always had an eerie feeling while we walked around," Anjori told IANS.

"We discovered the fact after we reached there and I think no one from the cast knew about it before," Anjori added.

She said there were few rooms inside the castle where no one was supposed to go unless accompanied by the owner.

"The owner did not speak much and walked around the castle with a lantern in his hand." She said.

Anjori recalled an incident when she and Adah, the female lead in the film, went into a room where no one was allowed to go.

"Both of us had a certain feeling when we entered the room and immediately came out. The room was a huge one decorated in the old Victorian style and we had an eerie feeling when we entered the room."

However in spite of all these episodes, Anjori said she enjoyed the one month schedule there and had a memorable experience.

"We shot for a month in the castle and came back to Mumbai and shot the rest," Anjori said.

Anjori, who debuted with Vikram Bhatt's "Life Mein Kabhie Kabhie", is the daughter of well known television actor Maya Alagh.

"Vikram has really shaped up my character in the film well," said Anjori.

"1920" marks the debut of two new comers - model turned actor Rajneesh Duggal and Adah Sharma. The film also stars Barkha Bisht, Raj Zutshi and Amit Bishnoi.

He hires Kong, a street punk and pickpocket, to run errands for him with the intention of covering his tracks by killing him at the end of the assignment.
