Mumbai, July 23: Writer-director Anees Bazmi is a happy man. His forthcoming release Singh is Kinng is already grabbing headlines, thanks to Manmohan Singh government's victory during the trust vote in Lok Sabha.

Bazmi's film title and its song has garnered ample publicity, with television channels and newspapers flashing it all over on Wednesday, after the UPA government won the trust motion with a comfortable margin on Tuesday.

"What more can I ask for... this is good publicity..I think use of the title song from my film was appropriate since the Prime Minister is a Singh. My film's protagonist is a person with a positive thinking and attitude, one who understands others problems and helps people...and moreover he is a Sikh," Anees Bazmi said in Mumbai on Wednesday.

The filmmaker said Singh is Kinng is not an out and out comedy like his previous No Entry and Welcome. "It is comedy as well as an emotional love story," he said.

Bazmi has no plans to stick to the comedy genre. "It was just a coincidence that my last three films including Singh is Kinng are comedies. I had made a love story (Pyar to Hona Hi Tha) and a thriller (Deewanapan) before No Entry," he said.

The director, who has written the script of his next film It's my Life stars Harman Baweja and Genelia D'Souza. "This is a romantic film produced by actor Sanjay Kapoor. Boney Kapoor is presenting the film," he said.

"I will begin shooting for it from August 13. The film will be ready within a year," he added.

Replying to questions, Anees said Harman, despite the debacle of his debut film Love Story 2050, was a good actor and has a bright future. "His character in my film is about a simple boy who the audience will identify with. His debut film presented him in a larger than life canvass," he said.

Anees said Harman has been accepted by the audience and he has no fears about casting the actor in his film.

He felt comparisons with Hrithik will harm Harman's career prospects.

"Hrithik is a huge hero who has already proved his credentials and established himself. Harman should be judged by his work and not his looks," he said.

Speaking about Akshay Kumar, Anees said the actor was co-producing Singh is Kinng with Vipul Shah. "Akshay is a non-interfering person and has complete faith in the director he is working with," he added.

The director who has cast Katrina Kaif in Singh is Kinng said that she was evolving as a good actress. "She is a hard working girl and has improved upon her Hindi language and diction. Also, Akshay-Katrina pair looks good on screen," he added.

When asked about the USP of It's my Life, Anees said the film was a normal love story but the reason of conflict in the film will be presented in a unique manner and audience will like it.

To a question on audience and critics reaction that Welcome was not as well made as No Entry in terms of content, Anees said, "Welcome earned more money than No Entry and that is what matters to me. I try to ensure that my films do not look the same. Singh is Kinng would be better than the two."

Rokade Trio-- Dr DVLA!!! Unscrupulous NHS by KTVReddy on 23 Jul 2008

Formula by Dr K A Rokade!!How to drive legally in UK without ever worrying penalty or points.An amazing revelation today, One of unscrupulous Dr K A Rokade from midland known to have coned DVLA on several counts by driving fradulanatly with Valid License which can’t be endorsed or no point can be given inspire of several driving convictions!How it works? This is secret formula tried and tested since 1999 by Dr Kirti Rokade from midland! This is secret formula tried and tested since 1999! You are right that, as most of us know, IDP (International Driving Permit)is valid for initial one year when you come to UK. However, there is clever way to play around it, if you want to! IDP can be renewed every year, if you are away from UK for more than 21 days continuously, in a year. Means go to India every year for 21 days and you can get new IDP! I know few people who do this since many years as they are not bothered to pass UK test. And good thing about it is that, even if you get caught speeding, they can fine you... but can’t endorse points! And there is no record of minor offences related to and there is no record of minor offences related to your driving! So normal clean CRB in spite of many convictions like Drink Driving or Driving Convictions Vow what a novel innovative way to speed/drink drive/dangerously drive and not getting any penalty!!There is lot of difference between having "a valid IDP” and that "IDP being valid here”. It is another thing that most of the traffic cops do not know this fine distinction unless they are familiar with and are experts on rules rag IDP(International Driving Permit):-),even one can cone Insurance Companies and can claim money for car crash-Even car was written off but still No records with DVLA!!
