Detective Byomkesh Bakshy is a terrific film
which makes the brains of the audience to work
large. The movie is visually engaging and filled

er initial films did not
do well and she faced
many troubles initially
however Shruti has
opted out to struggle and bounce
back without the support of her
dad which made her sit on the
top today. She has tested her
luck in Bollywood, Tollywood and
Kollywood but she could not taste
the success.
Then came an opportunity with
Powerstar Pawan Kalyan for the
movie Gabbar singh which has been
the game changer and the movie
gave her the much needed break.
Post Gabbar Singh, Shruti has
hardly time for anything other than
cinema. She is multi talented and is
a great multitasker. Shruti has also
persistedherstintinmusic,acareer
in music direction beginning with
her father’s production Unnaipol
Oruvan and her own music band
and album.She has scored back to
back hits in Telugu and Tamil. She
has been signing films in Telugu,
Tamil and Hindi. Shruti is currently
shooting for more than half a dozen
movies. Along with these Shruti has
been shaking leg with all the lead
actors in item numbers.
She is currently shooting for
Mahesh Babu’s Srimanthudu in
Telugu in the direction of Koratala
Siva which is in final stages of
shoot and will release in July. She
is also shooting for Vijay’s Puli as
the second female lead which will
release in June this year. Shruti has
recently wrapped up the shoot of
her Bollywood projects Gabbar
Is Back with Akshay Kumar and
Welcome Back opposite to John
Abraham.
She has signed many new projects
in all the languages and Shruti is the
highest paid South Indian actress
currently. As she was unable to
allocate her dates, Shruti walked
out of Nagarjuna and Karthi
untitled project which became a
huge sensation. As per the latest
update, she has signed a movie
with Thala Ajith in the direction of
Shiva. She will soon pair up with
Bollywood’s young Superstar
Ranbir Kapoor in the direction of
AyanMukerji.Shrutihassignedtwo
more Bollywood projects Rocky
Handsome with John Abraham and
Yaara with Vidyut Jamwal in the
main lead.
Talking about marriage Shruti said,
“Yes, I wish to marry, but
I don’t know when. The
personIgetmarriedhasto
be kind, which is difficult
you find the ones who
smell good, talk well, look
nice and the ones who
win their awards, but at
the end of the day, it boils
down to someone who
can make you laugh and is
kind. But he also needs to
have that fighting spirit in
life. He could be a doctor
oranythingelse,butneeds
tobetalented at whatever
he does.”
Sruthi’s younger sister Akshara
Haasan made her debut with
Shamitabh starring Amitabh
Bachchan and Dhanush in the
direction of critically acclaimed R
Balki. Shruti has been the 4th most
Desirable Woman for the year
2014. Not much into controversies,
Shruti is quite professional
and passionate for movies. Her
upcoming movie Gabbar Is Back
with Akshay Kumar and Kareena
Kapoor is releasing on May 1st
and the movie is a remake of Tamil
movieRamanastarringVijayKanth.
Gabbar Is Back has been helmed by
Krrish, a talented Telugu director.
Hope Shruti Haasan will continue
to impress with her movies and
make the magic.

21
After a series of flops during her initial days, Sruthi bounced
back with a super hit with Gabbar Singh after which she has
emerged as the highest paid South Indian actress today.
She is currently busy with more than half a dozen movies in
Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. Sruthi has proved her skills in
singing and music composing along with acting. She has been
shaking leg with the lead actors in item numbers whenever
she finds time.

H
AYAAN HAS TAUGHT ME
THAT IT’S OKAY TO FALL:
EMRAAN
EMRAAN HASHMI
FACED THE TOUGHEST
EMOTIONAL TEST OF
HIS LIFE LAST YEAR.
EMRAANHASHMI
A four-year-old son Ayaan
detected with cancer just three
days before him having to start
shooting for his upcoming 3D
entertainer Mr . X. While his
fighter-son battled his cancer
with the help of Batman (his
father’svoiceonhismobilewhich
he believes is a real man, a man
whosavedhimfromthatdreaded
disease), his father stayed away
from his son for three-and-a-
half months to complete his
professional commitments.His
film Raja Natwarlal bombed
at the box office, but Emraan
continued to do what he was
committed to and believed in.
Ayaan today is back to being fit
and Emraan is looking forward
to his upcoming releases. Over
an hour-long conversation at his
home, he talks to Bombay Times
about the dilemma of being a
father and a professional, what
he learnt from Ayaan and how he
has started praying every night
now.
Given that your son Ayaan was
detected with cancer just a few
days before you were to shoot Mr.
X last year, how difficult was it for
you to shoot the film?
We were to start shooting Mr .X on
January 16 last year and on January
13, the problem happened with
Ayaanandtheschedulewaspushed
ahead indefinitely . I realised that I
had to juggle between two things,
the role as a father and the role
as a professional and that too was
very important. So, as much as
there are people around for you,
everyone has their own kitchens
to run, so everyone’s life goes on. I
had to take a call on whether to be
with Ayaan for six months for his
treatment or not. My wife Parveen
and I decided that we settle her in
Toronto, get the chemotherapy
going and a month after his
operation, I return to work. Ayaan
is a fighter and thankfully, his body
took the chemo very well without
adverse reactions, and I flew back
a month later on Valentine’s Day
and we started shooting. It had
been a tough call for me to say a
goodbye to Ayaan and take a flight
back. I had to lie to him that I was
going to get him gifts, but I knew
that I was actually going away to
shoot for three-and-ahalf months.
I tried in between to go back to
Toronto, but couldn’t due to my
commitments. I was shooting here,
but my mind was constantly there.
You understand that nothing really
prepares you for something like
your son having cancer. The plus
point of being in the movies is that
you can escape for those couple
of hours that you are on a film set.
But you can never forget it, as it is
always at the back of your mind.You
don’t consciously think about it, but
you carry it everywhere you go. You
kindoflearntolivewithit,youlearn
to put it on the back burner, but
suddenly , it surfaces again at times
when you least expect it to surface.
I didn’t sleep for three weeks till I
came back. I was on sleeping pills. I
used to go for bike rides alone at 3
and 4 am in the morning, as I would
not get sleep.And then, I would get
only an hour or two of sleep. But
thankfully , I was not singing or

23
dancing in Mr . X, in fact, it was a
guy dealing with trauma. So, I was
acting out what I was feeling at that
point. If you remember, you had
come on the first day of shooting
to see me at Filmalaya Studio. That
first scene was of a guy who almost
dies. He is a righteous ATS officer,
who is brutally injured by this group
of people to the point of death. He
almost dies, but then he takes this
particular medicine that gives him a
new lease of life, but it’s not the life
he imagines, his cells stop reflecting
life and he is almost invisible. It’s a
man who is defeated and is the
story of his resurrection.
In a sense, your personal story is
also one of resurrection at this
point in your career?
You could say that. I believe that
in everyone’s life, where success
or trauma can change you, it’s
important that you deal with both
in a way that is not self-destructive.
There was this rise I kind of had
two years back when my films were
successful, and then there was this
lull where four of my back-to-back
films did not work at the box office.
There is a side of the industry that is
always jumping at writing an actor’s
obituary , writing you off, which
is nothing new to me. I never ever
confuse what these people think

24
BOLLYWOOD
specialSTORY

of my career or my selfworth with
what I actually think about myself.
I have tremendous confidence that
things will bounce back, that I will
bounce back with great successful
films. The same people did not think
that I will last for even two years in
this industry .But I have lasted for
over a decade.These are the same
people who thought that after
five back-to-back hits, I had all the
answers and I was hit man Hashmi
and I was invincible, but they were
wrong even then.So, if they didn’t
know that then, then what the hell
do they know now? You have no
choice but to embrace the sadness
and the pain when you go through
something like this. The trauma
becomes a part of you. The dream
that you have built for yourself
suddenly crumbles and you realise
that it is so fragile. And there is
nothing you can do to stop it, so you
copewithitandfightandasmuchas
people may think they are your bad
and weakest times, you are fighting
the highest at such times and there
lies the resurrection and it instills in
that dream more vigour and vitality
and something more emerges.
Something else has emerged and
it will reflect in my performances
over the next few months. And I
want to tell my detractors in the
industry , there are four phases in
any celebrity’s life. The first phase
when the world says, Òh! He
has potential.’ The second phase
is, Àh! He has arrived.’ The third
phase, Òh! He’s finished.’ And then
comes the fourth phase, ` Ah! He is
back.’ So, for the myopic morons,
who don’t know anything about
inner strength, wait for a couple of
months. I will be back.
Doesn’t failure make you doubt
yourself? Where do you get your
confidence from?
I do get anxious if I have a flop, but
I don’t lose sleep over it. I detach
fromthingsandthatistrueforboth,
success and failure. I don’t let both
define me. It’s a journey , I may pop
a champagne bottle for success, but
I don’t start feeling cat’s whiskers
or that I am invincible.Somewhere
down the line, I will give you a bad
flop film once in a while. Everyone
does that. Even more so in my
situation, as I see myself as a risk-
taker. I have done many films that
are unconventional and out-of-the-
box niche films.Always remember
what Robert De Niro said while
getting his lifetime achievement
award. He said, Ì am accepting this,
but this is not the end. A lot more
bad films to be made.’ That’s what
filmmaking is about. As an actor,
you get scripts you like and you
take a swing at everything, some
of them turn out as gems, some of
them turn out in the crash can. but
every film is made with the best
intent. Some are successes, but you
cannot be bogged down by that.
What should we expect from a Mr.
X?
If It’s not a superhero film.
Superheroes are kind of altruistic
as in they are selfless, they are
the protectors of humanity and
very righteous in what they do.
This man is not. He is a right cop,
who wants to avenge his own
revenge to get his parallel justice
to get back to the guys who did
it to him. Yes, he is a superhero as
he has superhero powers of being
invincible. Mr .X promises all of that
and a great love story in the middle
of it. Amyra Dastur’s character is
that of an ATS officer and while
his ideologies have changed
overnight, she still upholds the
law and so they are opposite sides
of the spectrum and they become
enemies, but even being a cold-
blooded murderer, he feels for her.
What is your biggest lesson
from Ayaan’s incident?
Even in my career, I have fallen and
come back, but Ayaan has taught
me a lot. I have realised that it is
okay to fall. It’s okay to fail. He is
very resilient and is fit now. Three
months after his recovery , he
started going to school and wanted
toparticipateinsportsdayinarace.
He was still weak and frail, had lost
histhickcropofhair(whichhasnow
returned) and while we didn’t want
him to run, he is competitive and
was adamant. He participated and
the race started. He ran three steps
and fell and he got up. He again ran
five steps and fell even harder this
time. Again he got up and ran and
he finished the race. I looked at
Parveen and could not help feeling
moved, as I could not control my
tears. He came last and still went
to everyone saying I participated.
For me, it was more than any gold
medal or first prize. He had given
all that he had with all the obstacles
he had faced and that was a big
learning lesson for me.There is
nothing special about me when
this child after such a traumatic
experience, can get up, complete
the race and smile. He actually
winked at me when he finished.It
was too much for me to handle and
I left from there. My wife went and
got him. In life, it’s all about hanging
in there. However shaken your feet,
however much you are bruised,
you crawl, hop, but get up and take
that first step, that’s what I learnt
from him. After every hurdle I have
faced, it’s become more clear to me
that we need to embrace life with
all its tears, screams, the anger, the
pain, the shame, because they all
demand to be felt. And every time
I fall, I have promised myself that
however shaky my feet, I will get
up. It’s only after a disaster that you
are resurrected.
Who was your emotional
anchor during his
treatment period?
Family and friends were
an immense support, but I
grieve alone. I don’t show
my emotions and cover it
up with external brava do,
but there are times when
you feel frail. After Ayaan’s
incident, I have started
praying at night which I
never used to.

I AM NOT A FOOL TO
HURT OTHER RELIGIONS
Exclusive InterviewExclusive Interview
Q)Why do you face
so many problems to
release your films ?
Off late, it has become a
problem to release films
in India. There are many
people who are ready
to bring your film down
for no reason. This is a
democratic country, and
everybody should have
the right to showcase or
speak what ever they feel
like.
Q)Your film has received
an ‘U’ certificate. But
why did some Hindu
organizations go against
the film?
India is a country
which has 75% Hindu
population, and I would
be a fool to make a
film which will hurt
their sentiments. In
fact, everyone should
understand that I want
people from every
religion to watch my
films.
Q) Why did you choose
Ramesh Aravind as the
director ?
Even though I have
written the script and
screenplay, I wanted
someone who can depict
it well on screen. Ramesh
is an old friend and an
wonderful actor himself.
He was the apt choice
and has directed the film
superbly.
Q)How was the whole
experience working
with your gurus K
Balachander and
Vishwananth ?
I have already worked
with them in many films
in the past, and like
always I had a wonderful
time working with them.
Q)The visuals are

up with Kamal sir for a brief interview. Let’s
see what he has to say.

spectacular and looks
like a number of dances
are involved in the film.
Tell us about that ?
Yes ! there are a number
of classical dances
involved in the film,
and the group dancers
who have worked for
the film are the best in
the country. We have
rehearsed for so many
days and the output is
just wonderful ?
Q)Is Uttama Villain an
art film ?
There is nothing called
art cinema. Everything
what we make is for the
publicanditscommercial.
There is a lot of money
involved and we want
people to watch our film
and appreciate us.
Q)What care have you
taken for the Telugu
version ?
I have worked very hard
for the Telugu version,
and was involved right
from the beginning.
I should also thank
producer C Kalyan for
promoting the film so
well.
Q)Tell us about the
female leads ?
Both Andrea and Pooja
have done a wonderful
job. They suit their
characters well and will
be liked by one and all.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration if I said Kamal
Haasan is controversy’s favourite child. The
talented actor’s much-awaited film Uttama
Villain was suppose to release today however
it won’t as there is trouble brewing between
the producers and financiers of the film. For
now, all the shows of Kamal Haasan starrer
have been cancelled across India. Though we
don’t know what exactly the issue is but we
hear Uttama Villain should be playing across
theatres by evening. That’s what we have
learnt however only time will tell if Haasan’s
film will hit the screens today or not. Directed
by Ramesh Aravind, Uttama Villain is a
comedy drama peanned by Shruti Haasan’s
daddy dearest himself.
While we hope things get sorted between the
producers and financiers of Uttama Villain
soon, this isn’t the first time that Kamal
Haasan’s film has faced problems. In 2013,
Vishwaroopam was banned by Tamil Nadu
government despite getting clearance from
Central Board of Film Certification.

Gabbar Is Back is an out and out

Analysis
The first half of the film has been racy with power packed action episodes
and powerful dialogues which make the audience stick to their seats and
watch the film interesting. On the whole the first half of the movie has
been gripping and sensible enough.
The second half of Gabbar Is Back has dipped at times but the accident
sequences have been managed well. The songs have been poorly shot
which makes the film fall at times. But the climax of the movie elevates the
film which makes it a decent watch.

Kareena Kapoor has joined Bollywood who has come from the well known family of Kapoor’s. She is the
daughter of actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and the younger sister of actress Karisma Kapoor. Noted for
playing a variety of characters in a range of film genres—from contemporary romantic comedies to crime
dramas—Kapoor has received six Filmfare Awards, and has established herself as one of Bollywood’s highest-
paid actresses. She made her acting debut in 2000 along with Abhishek Bachchan with the film Refugee which
ended as a disappointment and she has taken her time to establish as one of the leading actresses.

Even before Kareena Kapoor had actually formally
entered the Hindi film industry, there was a
heightened sense of excitement regarding the entry
of this light eyed spark who seemed to be a chip of
the same block. Fortunately for her fans, she came
out from this quicksand by showcasing her talents
in movies like ‘Dev’. As the luminously beautiful and
ill-fated Dolly Mishra, Kareena was subtle, without
make-up and yet showcasing a powerhouse of a
performance in ‘Omkara’ for which she received the
Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress.
Beautiful Kareena Kapoor captured India’s heart
in one of her most memorable performances as the
impulsive, spunky Geet Dhillon in the 2007’s monster
hit ’Jab We Met’. She received the coveted Filmfare
Award for Best Actress for the same movie. Kareena
has somehow been at the center of controversies, be
it her interactions with her co-stars or even her body
size. When she went on a new fitness regime, people
were soon discussing the ‘size zero’ in various forums;
there were some who were passionately in its favor
and some who totally trashed it and there were even
some who totally accepted her weight choices. She
is definitely a fashion icon whose dressing sense is
avidly watched and copied across the country and
even world.
Superstar Kareena Kapoor has always been open
with the media regarding her personal life and
feelings; thus her fans have also shared her personal
journey, be it personal relationships with co stars or
boyfriends or with her husband Saif. After marrying
popular actor Saif Ali Khan, Kareena has updated her
name to Kareena Kapoor Khan. Kareena is a true star
with a heart and has always doing her bit towards
others; among many other things, she has helped in
raising the morale of our brave Indian Army jawans,
helped earthquake victims, increased awareness
regarding education for children, worked towards
a greener environment and highlighted violence
against women.
She has been always selective with her movies and
she has rejected many Bollywood blockbusters and
Kareena reveals that she always does movies which
are close to her heart. She has recently wrapped up
the shoot of Gabbar Is Back with Akshay Kumar in
the main lead which has been directed by Krrish.
The movie has been slated for release on May 1st.
She is currently shooting for Salman Khan’s Bajrangi
Bhaijaan in the direction of Kabir Khan. She has also
signed two new movies Brothers with Akshay Kumar
and Siddarth Malhotra in the main leads and Udta
Punjab with Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the main
leads. Great going Kareena.
She portrayed a sex worker in Chameli
(2004), which became the turning point in
her career. She played the female lead in
the romantic comedy Jab We Met (2007)
which earned her the Filmfare Award
for the Best Actress. She also endorses
several brands like Anne French, Airtel,
Citizen Watches, Globus Fashion, Head
and Shoulders, Lavie Handbags and many
more.She has been named as one of the
most desirable female stars as well as
successful stars in Bollywood. Kareena
Kapoor’s acting genes are impeccable
since she is from the first film family of
Bollywood, the illustrous Kapoor Khandan.

Alaipayuthey (2000). Madhavan
soon developed an image as a
romantic hero with notable roles
in two of 2001’s biggest grossers,
Gautham Menon’s directorial
debut Minnale and Madras
Talkies’ Dumm Dumm Dumm.
Madhavan worked with Mani

a smashing hit in Bollywood. Kangana Ranaut played
the female lead in the movie which has been directed

He has done cameos in various Bollywood films post
Tanu Weds Manu but none of them could manage

of flops over there. His recent movie Vettai has
brought him the charm in Kollywood but he tasted
the same result with Jodi Breakers in Bollywood.

The film was a trendsetter for movies like Deewaar, Trishul, Amar
Akbar Anthony which had similar themes of two brothers on the
opposite sides of law.
Widowed Govindi (Leela Chitnis)
lives a poor lifestyle in Haripur
along with two sons, Gungaram
and Jumna. Ganga spends his
days working with his mother
as a servant in the home of the
zamindar’s obnoxious family.
While Jumna, a promising student,
focuses on his schoolwork. While
Jumna is studious, Gungaram is
the opposite, but has a good heart
and decides to use his earnings to
ensure his brother gets a decent
education. After her employer,
Hariram, accuses Govindi of theft,
their house is searched, evidence
is found, she is arrested, the
entire village bails her out, but the
shock kills her. After their mother
passes, Ganga pledges himself to
supporting his younger brother as
they grow to adulthood.
The adult Ganga (Dilip Kumar)
is a spirited and hardworking
fellow, unafraid to take on the
zamindar when necessary, while
his brother Jumna (Nasir Khan)
is more measured and cautious.
Ganga sends Jumna to the city to
study, and supports him with funds
that he earns driving an oxcart and
making deliveries for the zamindar.
But things get complicated when
Ganga saves a local girl, Dhanno
(Vyjayanthimala), from the
zamindar’s lecherous assault. The
zamindar (Anwar Hussain) gets his
revenge by trumping up a robbery
charge against Ganga, landing
him in prison. Upon his release,
Ganga learns that his brother has
become destitute, and attacks and
robs the zamindar in a rage. Soon
Ganga finds himself an outlaw,
and, with Dhanno at his side, he
joins a gang of bandits camping
out in the wilderness. In the
meantime, Jumna meets a fatherly
police officer (Nazir Hussain) and
becomes a police officer himself.
It isn’t long before Jumna’s
professional wanderings take him
back to the village of his birth,
where he must square off against
his outlaw brother, in a showdown
between duty and family.This film
has the best performance of Dilip
Kumar
