Delhi 6’s Masakali is worth Rs. 13,000

February 9th, 2009

Sonam posing with a dove (called Masakali in the film) on her head in Rakeysh Mehra’s Delhi – 6 has been creating a lot of buzz. It is heard that Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra auditioned nearly a hundred pigeons for this particular shot in the movie. But then he ultimately settled for a dove.

Sources inform that “Rakeysh Mehra needed to shoot a song with Sonam with a bird sitting on her head. He had tried pigeons but they used to fly away it was actually music director A.R. Rehman who gave him the idea to use a dove instead of a pigeon because he considered it a symbol of love. Rakeysh Mehra promptly asked for 12 doves on the sets. But ultimately chose this particular dove which came from Assam.” says sources.

“But the director had to shell out rupess 13,000/- per day for the bird in hand. Rakeysh Mehra wanted the scene as he had already scripted it and did not want to compromise on anything for the song” adds our source.

Well Rakeysh Mehra’s efforts definitely seem to be worth it. The song has already become the buzz of the town. The song is also being compared to the scene in Rajshri’s Maine Pyar Kiya where heroine Bhagyashree sings with a dove on her hand.

Sonam Kapoor to Play Emma in Anil Kapoor's Next Production

February 8th, 2009

Adaptations seem to be the flavour of the season. Anil Kapoor is now adapting Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma, for his next production. And who better to play the spirited and busybody matchmaking heroine than his daughter Sonam Kapoor? In earlier versions of the novel, celebrated actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale and Alicia Silverstone have played Emma, whom Austen describes as "a heroine whom no one but myself will much like."

Emma is one of Sonam's favorite novels and it is on her urging that papa Anil decided to finally produce a film for his daughter. Says a source, "Sonam can be the perfect Emma. The film will beautifully capture the sensuous and obstinate side to Sonam's personality."

Revealing more details of Emma, the source adds, "While one of the two heroines is the master of unconventional cinema Abhay Deol, currently being feted for his terrific performance in Dev.D, Sonam's second hero is newcomer Arunoday Singh. Rajshri Ojha will direct the film."

Whether Anil's interpretation of Emma manages to match up to Jane Austen's novel, and its several celebrated screen adaptations, remains to be seen.

ABOUT EMMA

Emmais an 1815 novel by Jane Austen. It is the story of the perils of misconstrued romance.The author uses two themes, namely: the concerns and difficulties of women's lives in Georgian-Regency England; and, a 'comedy of manners' among her characters, each of whom would justify him/herself as behaving according to the highest standards of polite manners. Emma, the heroine manages to bungle all affairs, including her own, by her intrusive enthusiasm and constant matchmaking.

Deepika out Sonam in

January 21st, 2009

There's something spicy always revolving around the heroines of 'OSO' and 'Saawariya'. Yeah! These missies had their debut flicks hitting screens on the same time and indeed got professionally pitched at each other. Perhaps, the youngest 'Kapoor' had himself involved with stories cooked between them. And now, it's Akshay Kumar having his turn.

Akki wasn't so elated pairing up with Deepika, as the results for CC2C weren't commendable. Much before that his forthcoming flick 'Come On… Pappu' had no female lead finalized. Buzz has it that Akshay Kumar would be roping in Deepika if things work out well with Chandni Chowk. But as things didn't go as expected, exit Deepika and Enter Sonam into the scene.

Directed by Rohit Dhawan (Son of David Dhawan), the 90-Crore project is produced as a joint venture of Percept Pictures Company and Akshay Kumar. A comedy on its genre, the film is about relationships between the protagonist (Akshay) and a chimpanzee.

'Come On… Pappu' will start rolling from mid-August.

Let's hope that Akshay's decision to change heroines brings him luck in this flick!
