Will Ranbir Kapoor restore the RK pennant?

Will Ranbir Kapoor restore the RK pennant?The period from the late 40s to early 60s, have been regarded as the Golden age of Bollywood. Legendary films like ‘Pyaasa’, ’Awaara’ and ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ are associated with this period. One of the greatest showman in Bollywood, Raj Kapoor started his own production house, R.K. Films. RK studios were responsible for films like ’Awaara’, ’Aag’, ’Shri 420’, which became the trendsetter for popular mainstream cinema in Bollywood. After the death of Raj Kapoor, his son Randhir Kapoor took upon the helm of the studio. He soon directed ‘Premgranth’. But with the commercial failure of ‘Aa Ab Laut Chalen’, the RK banner stopped producing more films. Will Ranbir take over RK banner? Most people in the industry are of the opinion that Ranbir Kapoor might carry on the legacy started by Raj Kapoor. Rishi Kapoor and his two brothers Randhir and Rajeev Kapoor have failed to contribute much to the cause of reviving the RK banner. Souces inside the industry said, "For the first time, there has been a unanimous agreement among the older Kapoor members that Ranbir be allowed to do run the studio. Most feel that it’s a family legacy that sons of the Kapoor khandaan make films under the banner.” Even though Rishi Kapoor attempted to revive the banner by trying his hands in direction, with the debacle of ‘Aa Ab Laut Chalen’, Rishi Kapoor too alienated himself from more such productions. Similarly, the rest of the Kapoor brothers have been less active in reviving the RK banner. A source added, "Rajeev and Randhir are also of the opinion that Ranbir should be given full freedom as they have been able to do nothing about the banner that closed down after a box-office disaster ‘Aa Ab Laut Chalein’ in 1999.”

Asin Says: No kissing or swimming outfit act

Asin Says: No kissing or swimming outfit act: Asin, the dazzling actress from God’s Own Country, who has recently returned from a hectic month-long schedule in Bangkok for her next flick Ready with Salman, spoke to DC in an exclusive interview. The first question was why, despite being offered so many films, she had signed so few, unlike the other Bollywood heroine. Her response was prompt. “I am a secure person and I don’t believe in the theory of out of sight out of mind.” She explained further, “All along I have never rushed to sign any movie. I work at my own pace. I am happy and content with what I do and am not really concerned about how others work or how many films they sign. I have never felt insecure about the so-called competition.” Asin cleared that she was never too pricey for south producers and dismissed the rumour that this was the primary reason for her not having any regional films in her kitty. “I have constantly been getting offers from the south, which I could not accept due to various reasons. I don’t expect the media to get to know about it all the time. The industry people know and so these irrelevant rumours don’t really affect me,” she set the record straight. “For me, monetary considerations have never been the criteria to accept a project. I have never burdened my producers. My priorities are: first and foremost the script should excite me, followed by my character, banner and finally my co-star. I think I have reached a stage when I want to do performance-oriented and meaningful roles instead of being a mere arm candy to the heroes.” Asin admitted that she’d love to work with prominent filmmakers. “Mani Ratnam, Priyadarshan, Raju Hirani and the list goes on. I’ve heard that Raju Hirani’s working atmosphere is pleasant and comfortable.” Soon, Asin moved to the topic of endorsing the newly formed IPL team, the Kochi Tuskers Kerala. She smiled, “I love cricket and I am happy that a team has been formed from my native place. I am looking forward to the current edition of IPL. But I couldn’t be their brand ambassador due to various factors. But I am always there to cheer the sport of cricket!” On the mere mention of Salman Khan, the Ghajini star got excited and shared, “We finished two long schedules for Ready in locations abroad. This is my second film with Salman. We share a great rapport and he is a chilled-out person. It’s a lot of fun working with him.” Currently, Asin has signed Sajid Nadiadwala’s multi-starrer Housefull with Akshay Kumar, which will be shot in the U.S.A. Reports have been making the rounds in some section of the media that Asin will be donning a bikini in Housefull and doing a steamy kissing scene with Salman in Ready. She laughed, “I am amused by these rumours. I am glad that people who know me will not believe such trash. Ready is a family entertainer and there are no hot scenes or lip locks in the film. Sorry to disappoint but the bikini news is someone’s fertile imagination and not the truth!”

Anushka Sharma Express: No one is my 3 am associate

Anushka Sharma Express: No one is my 3 am associate: Rumours about Anushka Sharma's romance, tantrums, starry demands and attitude problem have been getting louder. It was time to get to the truth, or at least her side of the story. She was game. Read on for excerpts... You know you have been crowned the tantrum queen? Somebody is raising fingers at my professionalism and I'm very upset about that. I come from a background that teaches professionalism and punctuality. People are raising fingers at my upbringing. All things about me being disrespectful to my seniors and colleagues are untrue. It's only been said that I take forever to get dressed and that I have assistants whose only job is to tell me how great I am looking. All this is making me look ridiculous. I have come on national television (Karan Johar's chat show) and said that I don't think I'm the most good-looking person. Also about my supposed attitude problem, I'm outspoken and shy. I can't just go up to a person and start a random conversation. Maybe that is being seen as attitude. I get intimidated in public and I'm really awkward. I'm working on my social skills. Once and for all tell us if Ranveer Singh is a friend or more? I never wanted to talk about my personal life to anyone. I feel it's nobody's business. Ranveer is genuinely a friend that I have in the industry. We have had a similar journey in the industry. We are great friends, we hang out, we have coffee together, we got out for dinners and we have common friends. We did Band Baaja Baraat and now we are doing Ladies VS Ricky Bahl. We have some karmic connection but it's totally platonic. He continues to be my friend and that's about it. Is Ranbir Kapoor recommending you for Ayaan Mukherjee's film? What kind of girl does that make me? Are you raising fingers at my character? I have worked hard to get what I have today. Please give me respect for that. I come from an army background. I see boys and girls to be the same. It's a great thing that colleagues of the industry are bonding with each other. Ranbir is very sorted. He is a very intelligent person and someone I can talk to. We have met only three times which is like nothing. He is a normal human being. People think that bonding happens with an agenda always. Well, it doesn't need to be so. Ranbir is not my boyfriend. I know Ayaan and he has a mind of his own. I don't know who's doing what to whom but the film hasn't come to me. That's the truth. Life was so easy before I became an actor. I could talk to anyone and no one bothered. I keep thinking to myself, should I not be myself but I won't do that. When did Shahid and you become friends? One never heard about it when he was dating Priyanka Chopra? Overtime you become friends with someone. He is a really nice guy but it takes some time to know him. He protects himself. I respect him for the enthusiasm for his work. Nobody is my 3 am friend, not even Ranveer. Normal people have friends and I have them too. Aren't you too new in the industry to demand a van as big as SRK? I know my place. I don't overvalue or undervalue myself. I can't dream of asking someone to treat me on the same level as Shah Rukh Khan. You can choose to believe me or not but that's the truth. Production people complain that you take six hours to come out of make-up van. What do you do inside for so long? Not true at all. I take 45 mins max to get ready. The result of all these articles is that people are thinking that I'm rude or unprofessional and that's not true at all. It's hampering my reputation and what's worse is that all these are false stories. So do you think you are lucky like Katrina Kaif since she had maximum number of hit films? I have worked really hard and thankfully it has been good so far. While there are people who encourage me, there may be some who are not happy with how things are going on in my life. I think people should concentrate on their work rather than try to get into my business. How come you have not made any actress friends? I have met everybody and I'm extremely cordial to them. I'm respectful to my seniors. Friendship is a very big thing. I don't have that with anybody except Ranveer. Friendship happens with like minded people. I have five friends in Mumbai out of which only two are from the industry (Maneesh Singh and Ranveer). What's behind your bonding with Ranbir? He is a very intelligent person and someone I can talk to. We have met only three times which is like nothing. He is a normal human being. People think that bonding happens with an agenda always. Well, it doesn't need to be so. Ranbir is not my boyfriend. I know Ayaan and he has a mind of his own. I don't know who's doing what to whom but the film hasn't come to me. That's the truth. Life was so easy before I became an actor. I could talk to anyone and no one bothered. I keep thinking to myself, should I not be myself but I won't do that. When did Shahid and you become friends?
