VERY FILMY

In the hot seat
If talk from the sets of Jugaad is to be believed, it would seem that Manoj Bajpai has an alternative career in the film industry — film direction. The actor, who plays a common man caught up in a maze of red-tape while trying to get his work done, had many creative inputs during the making of the film. The director R Anand Kumar says, “There were lot of creative differences and I think it is very natural. It happens all the time with experienced artistes. Many times, Manoj did not agree with the way a scene was executed. Jugaad has a lot of creativity from Manoj. I believe that one day he will make a very good director.” But Manoj very modestly counters this and says, “I am not into direction at all. When one has done so much of cinema and theatre, observing a scene and noticing any weak point comes naturally. I am happy that my advice was useful for the film.”

If looks could kill
Shahid Kapur will be seen in a never-before-seen avatar in Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminay. Shahid, it seems, is taking a break from his boy-next-door image, as projected in Vivah, Jab We Met and Kismet Konnection, and will play a hard-hitting and raw character in the latest flick. It seems that Shahid’s fans are going completely berserk over his transformation and have started a Facebook community called Kaminey Community where they exchange news and information about Shahid and his movie. They have asked Shahid to become a part of this community and he has obliged his fans. That’s why we like Shahid — he’s ever ready to oblige his crazy fans.

Papa’s boy
Being the son of a renowned music director like Bappi Lahiri has its pressures. It’s the same with Bappa Lahiri whose tryst with music began when he was three. Now, at 25, he has evolved into a full-fledged music director with Shyam Bajaj’s Jai Veeru. Bappa give breaks to fresh talent and dish out some ultra-melodious fare.

His Sufi melody Tere Pyar Mein has already hit the top of the popularity charts. We hope Bappa has his father’s ability to churn out hit after hit — but we could do without theinfamous ‘inspirations’.
