Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha promote Rowdy Rathore on CID

Actor Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha will be seen promoting their forthcoming film "Rowdy Rathore" in the popular TV serial "CID". And Akshay asserts that the television has grown so much that its reach has become out of the ordinary.

"TV is very important. Today, it is wrong to call television small. Television is a huge medium and it has a bigger reach than films," the 44-year-old said here Tuesday while shooting an action sequence for "CID".

When asked why he chose "CID", one of the longest running shows on TV, to promote the film, Akshay Kumar said: "Because it is a very famous programme and it is a good programme."


The lead actress of "Rowdy Rathore" Sonakshi Sinha too feels that the show has a very wide reach.





"I have a lot of friends who watch this show together, it has got a very wide reach. ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam) is very famous," the 24-year-old said.





Akshay will be seen doing some stunts in a shopping mall in the promotional episode.





Directed by Prabhu Deva, "Rowdy Rathore" hits theatres June 1.





What do you think will Akshay Kumar (44) & Sonakshi Sinha's (24) chemistry be worth watching in Rowdy Rathore?


Note: The release date of Rowdy Rathore is June 1, 2012.

Vicky Donor Ayushmann, hot Chitrangada Singh to host IIFA Rocks 2012

VJ-turned-actor Ayushmann Khurrana and actress Chitrangada Singh are set to turn host of IIFA Rocks, a fashion and music night, to be held in Singapore as part of the 13th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend and awards and the duo is quite excited.



"I have not done anything like that before, something that (Ayushmann) does really well. I am so glad that he is with me on stage. I know he is going to take care of all the times I slip-up while hosting the show," Chitrangada told reporters Wednesday at PVR Director's Cut in Ambience Mall Vasant Kunj here.



Though Ayushmann has anchored various shows, he is excited that he would be sharing the stage with the actress he has admired for long.

"Its a bit awkward moment when you meet a person you find extremely good-looking, you see that person right in front of you in real flesh and blood. She is an actress of all seasons," quipped Ayushmann, who is riding high on the success of his debut film "Vicky Donor".
 

"This is going to be my first time at IIFA. I have hosted many shows before but this is the biggest of all. I'm going to keep it spontaneous. I don't think I'll be performing on stage but I might sing," he added.

IIFA Rocks is held a day before the main awards ceremony. Organised by Wizcraft International Entertainment, the IIFA Weekend and awards will be held in Singapore June 7-9.

Those performing at the fashion and musical night include Mika Singh, Neha Dhupia and music composer duo Vishal-Shekhar. Singers Usha Uthup, Hariharan and Leslie Lewis will celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema at the event. 

Sonu Sood's cop drama "Maximum" will be showcased at the event. Directed by Kabeer Kaushik, it also stars Neha and Naseeruddin Shah.

Filmmaker Dibaker Banerjee's political thriller "Shanghai" will have its world premiere at the IIFA Weekend.



"I am thrilled that my film will be premiered in Singapore. It is an event where all the glitter, all the goodness of Bollywood come together. I see it as something positive. It shows that Bollywood has a large heart and it has got a place for everybody," said the filmmaker.

The event will also have fashion shows by designers Varun Bahl, Suneet Verma and Masaba. 

"My collection would be super glamorous, I am trying bling for the very first time. I am really looking forward to the show," said Masaba.



Varma added: "It's my 25th year in the world of fashion and it's a wonderful way to celebrate it with Bollywood." 

His collection 'The Eternal Lightness of Being, to Love, to Hold, to Kiss' will be presented in association with Gitanjali Jewels.

Rowdy Rathore News Updates | Akshay Sonakshi

Rowdy Rathore Backend: The shooting of  Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha's "Rowdy Rathore" in Karnataka's temple town of Hampi was disrupted after activists said the minimum number of local dancers had not been used. 

The unit members of "Rowdy Rathore", directed by Prabhu Deva, had to beat a hasty retreat after a few hours of shooting Monday afternoon following objections by local activists.

A song sequence, featuring Akshay and Sonakshi, along with many dancers, was being shot in Hampi, about 400 km from here, where the mercury has shot up to over 40 degrees.

Despite the gruelling heat, shooting was in brisk progress when some local activists pointed out that the movie's production house, Sanjay Leela Bhansali Films, had not used a minimum of 30 percent of local dancers for shooting the song.

Another reason for stopping filming is that the unit had taken permission to shoot a song sequence from Tuesday to Friday, but had begun Monday itself, said activists.

Venkoba Naik, a local activist and freelance journalist, told IANS from Hampi that the entire film unit had no Kannada technicians and all of them, including the dancers, were brought from Mumbai.

It is stipulated that 30 percent of local artists had to be used for the song shoot in Karnataka.

Naik said he learnt that the archaeological department, looking after the famous Virupaksha Temple and nearby historical places, had given permission for song shoot only from Tuesday.

Senior production manager Champakadhama Babu from the Karnataka Film Workers' Federation said the "Rowdy Rathore" production unit has not used the services of a local production manager from the cine workers organisation.

Akshay Kumar & Sonakshi Sinha promote Rowdy Rathore in Mumbai

"Rowdy Rathore" will be Akshay Kumar's comeback film into the realm of action and he feels that this might be the perfect opportunity.





"I think this is the perfect comeback. What is better than the guy who wanted such a good action film, is not directing 'Rowdy Rathore'. Prabhu has action and more action. His mind is full of action and he choreographs action," he said Saturday, referring to the film's director Prabhu Deva.





Both Akshay Kumar and his co-star Sonakshi Sinha said that they would love to ride auto- rickshaws on the streets of Mumbai. 





At a promotional event, the Rowdy Rathore stars were made to travel in a vehicle next to an auto rickshaw race organised by the team. 





"I was asked to stand in the jeep. Whatever has been told to me I will do. When I was sitting in the jeep I said many times that give me also the auto rickshaw to ride. Maybe the reason was that I don't even have a license to drive an auto. You have to follow the rules,"  Akshay Kumar told reporters.

Talking about the stress "Rowdy Rathore" has put on him, Akshay Kumar optimistically said: "Every actor is worried about his film. A little stress is always there. But if it doesn't work, the next film will come."

Dressed in a purple top and shocking pink jeans, Akshay looked more rowdy than ever. 





"It's not only pink but yellow, red all are Rowdy. When I got these clothes for the first time, I was shocked but then I got used to it. A lot of people like to wear such clothes. This is just a character and I would love to play it," he said. 





Talking about his "Dabangg" co-star, Akshay was full of praise for Sonakshi. 





"Sonakshi is a very simple girl, she works and goes home. She comes on time and goes home. She is very professional. She has never bullied or played pranks on people," he added.


Note: The release date of Rowdy Rathore is June 1, 2012.

Actress Zarine Khan says she is trying to become a vegetarian, but finds it difficult to abstain from non-veg food. 

"I have been a non-vegetarian since birth, so it is not very easy. Hats off to vegetarian people... I am trying my level best to turn vegetarian," the 27-year-old told reporters Thursday at the launch of the Bhagwat Calender.

Talking about the secret behind her trim figure, she said: "I eat whatever I want to in the right quantity and at the right time. If I have a craving for something, I make sure I indulge in it but not too much." 

The actress featured in the recently released "Housefull 2". Although Zarine did not put enough light on her future projects, she thanked her fans for appreciating "Housefull 2" and making it a huge success. You like multi-starers?

Rowdy Rathore Music Review | Sajid-Wajid Songs

From the storehouse of upbeat music, Sajid-Wajid, comes another album in the form of Rowdy Rathore. Having doled out chartbusters for films such as Dabangg and Housefull 2, one would expect the musical duo to deliver yet another hit.

But though they have a lot to offer through the Rowdy Rathore soundtrack, it falls short of tall expectations.

The album kicks off with "Chinta ta ta", crooned by the man with the midas touch, Mika Singh, who has been giving hits after hits. The catchy phrase just lingers onto your mind even though you may not be hooked on to it after hearing it for the first time.
The track is not a runaway hit and it takes time to grow on you.

Next up is "Chammak Challo Chel Chabel", which marks the comeback of Kumar Sanu. With over 17,000 songs to his credit, Sanu has sung this duet with Shreya Goshal and their melodious blend, surprisingly takes you back to the romance of 1990s. It is an absolute delight to hear Sanu, who has returned to his forte of romantic numbers after six years.

Since the film is christened Rowdy Rathore, it would be unfair to not have a fitting song that justifies the title. "Aa re Pritam Pyaare" does that and it is said to be the 'rowdiest song of the year'. Custom-made for the voice of Mamta Sharma, your frown at the lyrics quickly metamorphoses into some foot-tapping.

Another song reminiscent of the past is "Tera ishq bada teekha". The number also takes you back to the 1990s. A duet by Javed Ali and Shreya Goshal, the song's male vocals eerily remind one of Sonu Nigam. It is just the perfect song for some nostalgia!

Next up on the playlist is is "Dhadang dhang dhang", sung by Wajid and Shreya Goshal. The beginning of this song is inadvertently similar to the beats of the hit song "Aaila Re Aaila Re", filmed on Sanjay Dutt and Shilpa Shetty in the film "Jung". "Dhadang..." is a conversational song, but doesn't elicit appreciation. The composition is quite average and lyrics are disappointingly mediocre. A big thumbs down for this one. 

It is followed by a lullaby that comes in the form of "Chandaniya" (Lori Lori) sung by Shreya Goshal. It is the lone soothing number in this over-the-top album. However, the strums of this song have close resemblance to A.R.Rahman's music in "Roja". An absolute delight to hear.

Last but not the least is the title track "Rowdy Mix", which opens with Akshay Kumar creating a statement with "Jo main bolta hun woh main karta hun, jo main nahin bolta woh main definitely karta hun". Sarosh Sami is good with the backing vocals but what makes you groove are the beats, which couple well with the rowdy style.

By and large, the album, despite the good songs, leaves a sense of discontentment. Having produced hit albums in the past, Sajid-Wajid definitely could have churned out something better.

Buzz Ratings for Rowdy Rathore Music: 3/5
Rowdy Rathore Music Director: Sajid-Wajid
Rowdy Rathore Movie Lyricist: Sameer Anjaan
Rowdy Rathore Movie Singers: Wajid, Shreya Goshal, Mika Singh, Mamta Sharma, Sarosh Sami, Kumar Sanu, Javed Ali, Akshay Kumar
