Madhur Bhandarkar – Bollywood Nites https://www.bollywoodnites.com Fri, 03 Jun 2011 20:45:32 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 https://www.bollywoodnites.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cropped-cropped-logo-32x32.png Madhur Bhandarkar – Bollywood Nites https://www.bollywoodnites.com 32 32 Arunoday will star opposite Ash in Heroine https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/06/04/arunoday-will-star-opposite-ash-in-heroine/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/06/04/arunoday-will-star-opposite-ash-in-heroine/#respond Fri, 03 Jun 2011 20:45:32 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=5035

There were talks about the leading man in Madhur Bhandarkar’s entertainment saga (could be a real story) Heroine and it is settled now with Arunoday Singh, who will play Aishwarya Rai’s love interest in the film.

Though it is still not confirmed as the film might have two men opposite Aish, which was earlier said that the role could go among Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan or Prateik Babbar but with Arunoday in and Arjun Rampal it seems the cast is complete.

Heroine is a film that revolves around the life of a successful bollywood actress, and when it is bollywood you must expect masala in the movie, break ups, patch ups and of course some tears falling on the cheeks. As for as Arunoday is concerned, he will play the character of a cricketer, it is known Cricket and Bollywood has an old amity where he will go around with Aishwarya.

Arunoday ki Aish hai!!

Search for Aishwarya’s Man! https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/05/30/search-for-aishwaryas-man/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/05/30/search-for-aishwaryas-man/#respond Mon, 30 May 2011 05:54:06 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=4737

Don’t run your mind to any other direction Aishwarya Rai is very much with Abhishek Bachchan. But the man who Madhur Bhandarkar is searching for will play Aish’s romantic interest in ‘Heroine’.

Arjun Rampal has been already signed for one of the characters of the film. However, Madhur wants a young actor who in the film will play the role of Aishwarya’s man whom she is shown involved into a serious relationship with. The three actors who are running in the contention to fit the role are Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan and Prateik Babbar.

According to a source, “Ash has a very interesting track with a young actor who falls in love with her. He basically uses her to climb the social ladder and make it big in the industry. There are also a few romantic scenes between the actor and Ash. It’s a role that’s being battled for between the three actors.”

Ranbir and Imran are the first choice for the role but recently Prateik too has been taken into consideration, if the former two didn’t give it a fix. It will be interesting, because none of the actors have earlier worked with Aish in any film. “The decision is yet to be made but it will be one of these three guys. Madhur is still in the process of casting and will be making his decision in the coming weeks,” added the source.

Bollywood Awards: Honor or a Dishonor https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/01/27/bollywood-awards-honor-or-a-dishonor/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/01/27/bollywood-awards-honor-or-a-dishonor/#respond Thu, 27 Jan 2011 08:19:30 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=2954

The Oscars will be handed out on Sunday, Feb. 27, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC.

While the movie buffs across the globe will fix their eyes to their television sets, newspapers and internet on February 27, 2011 to find out the winner of the Academy Awards 2011, an honor which an actor dreams as soon as he steps into the world of entertainment – Hollywood. Oscar Awards is no less than an honor and prestige for an actor in his/her career; it is so big that even the nominations fills an actor with the mist.

However, the question is not how fair or unfair the Hollywood awards are, but we are looking into the Bollywood awards with the perspective that how much an actor, director and technical department of our industry feel [honored or dishonored] with the awards bollywood strangely offers for the brilliant acting or films of the year, which on any scale discredits the performance to attendance.

Worth or Worthless!!

Many bollywood actors in the past just shook away the idea of attending a bollywood award events like, Filmfare, Screen Awards, Stardust Awards, Apsara Awards and many others which are more or less has become a backstage fixing.

Aamir Khan, one of the most successful actors in Bollywood has long time back declined attending these awards claiming they are no more than a pre-planned listing where lobbying matters than the performance.

Recently, few other actors have joined Aamir by terming these awards as an exercise depending on the attendance.  “Bahut baar aisa hua ki award function mein pehle bol dete hain, aap award function mein aao to aapko award diya jayega”, (It happens many time that you are asked that if you attend the function, you will get the award), said Madhur Bhandarkar, when he was asked about the award nights.

The National Award winner director gets voice in another National Award winner actor Ajay Devgan who also said, “If you attend the awards you get the awards”.

You can easily make out why these actors and directors are lambasting these events when you go through the nominations where even for the ‘Best Film’ awards they have at least three kinds of categories which make it a laughable material. In the words of Emraan Hashmi, “If you see any award ceremony, they are pleasing everyone. There are three categories for every actor… it’s ridiculous… and three awards given to music. I really don’t want to be part of the circus. The whole industry goes and claps for it but I don’t want to be part of it”.

There is no doubt that Bollywood awards are more or less influenced by some actors – biggies – like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan to name a few, else Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Zee Cine special jury award for ‘Guzaarish’) and SRK got Best Actor award for My Name is Khan, knowing the actor’s performance could have easily beaten by Hrithik Roshan (Guzaarish).

Now you have to think twice before clapping while watching a bollywood award ceremony.
