“I felt comfortable doing Cheeni Kum, I felt uncomfortable doing Nishabd,” said Amitabh Bachchan in a freewheeling confessional interview with Editor-in-Chief of Times Now Arnab Goswami in his weekly show Frankly Speaking. For once Big B gave a comprehensive answer to the repeated barbs of Naseeruddin Shah who has said at many an occasion of Mr Bachchan’s minimal contribution to experimental or parallel cinema. “The kind of experimental cinema that Naseer talks of was perhaps a little limited as far as its box office content was concerned, therefore you tended to shy away from it,” he said. So without much ado, here is Amitabh Bachchan’s exclusive interview.

Arnab: So much is happening actually, when one looks back since we last met, the last eight months since we last met on the sets of this show, new films, a lot of events in your personal life, Abhi-Ash wedding…
Amitabh: that’s right.

Arnab: And professionally you are doing newer things. How do you look back? What’s been for you the happiest moment, if there’s not a….
Amitabh: Well… if you are gonna push me to the wall then I’ll say obviously the wedding of the son…but you know this is life, everyday there is something happening and … and when you are in a, in a, profession which is high profile….then something or the other keeps happening this is life..

Arnab: are you working harder today than you worked earlier?
Amitabh: I… don’t know..

Arnab: Like pushing yourself?
Amitabh: I don’t know, I …have never considered using any yardstick to measure whether I’m working harder or less, but let’s say that I’m occupied with whatever I’m doing, my day is full and I like it that way, it’s something to look forward to every morning. I don’t know anything else so I’m happy that I have a few films. And I enjoy going to the studio and attempting new things or whatever is offered to me, it’s nice…

Arnab: You know, it was said…This comment had been once made by Naseeruddin Shah & he’d said that why has experimental movies, why have they not happened? And he had been quoted as saying that the one person who’d ruled the film industry-Amitabh Bachchan-in the 70′-80’s even after that…didn’t make an attempt to do it. But now the kind of movies you’re doing are both experiments and they are unconventional. Are you doing it consciously Mr. Bachchan?

Muzammil Ibrahim surely has guts and super confidence. Firstly he enters Bollywood with a name Muzammil? No offence to the name. But come on, how can one expect to become a popular film star if he has a name like that. How can you expect girls drooling over him when they will be utterly confounded pronouncing his name. Or did Muzammil expect his fans to give him a nick name like Muzzy. Oh come on, I can not think of one appellation for Muzammil too.
Ok, forget the name part of it. Say he is a great actor (which I highly doubt). And he bewilders the audience with his performance in Dhoka. But he surely has not started well. What kind of impression you will have of an actor who has fights with the director ( Pooja Bhatt) who launched him. Surely that’s utterly unprofessional.

Here is an interview with Muzammil Ibrahim where he speaks about his estranged relationship with Pooja Bhatt and his affair with Om Shanti Om heroine Deepika Padukone. Read on….

What do you play in Dhokha?

I play a patriotic Indian Muslim in the film, who sends a message that patriotism is above religion.

You have had an attitude problem. To begin with, you shocked Mahesh Bhatt even before Dhoka began. You called him and said that your neighbours were beating you up because you are a Muslim. Isn’t that true?

I don’t remember if I called up Bhatt saab to tell him that it was happening because I was a Muslim. I might have told him in that tense moment.

But the fight had stemmed from the fact because your neighbours felt that you are uncourteous towards the women and the children in the building?

It was a family matter and things got out of control. So I had to get involved. It started with my mother and I had to get in. If I was uncourteous towards women and children, you think anybody would have spared me? My arm was injured and my brother’s throat was bleeding. Anyway, now I have shifted from that building. So, I guess, even that’s over now.

Ashoke Pandit (director cum social activist) who had accompanied Bhatt calmed down the neighbours and asked them to file a police complaint instead of taking the law in their hands and beating you up?

I don’t know.

Sajid Nadiadwala, one of Bollywood’s biggest producer, speaks about his journey from being a spot boy to Dharmendra to producing Bollywood’s biggest films. Sajid has produced some of Bollywood’s biggest films, namely Judwaa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Jaan-E-Mann and the recent flick Heyy Babyy. Here is Sajid Nadiadwala reminiscing his journey. Read on….

It seems that when you were a child, you had least interest in films. How did it happen then?
Trust me, that’s a suspense story even for me. I guess it was in was in my blood. As a child, I was a complete bookworm. I did my law and IIS and was waiting for my exams. I wanted to be an executive officer. I used to spend time in libraries and would keep myself away from films. My connection with Hindi films was limited to just viewing them.

Then how did you land up being a producer?
In 1984, I was waiting for my IIS results and during that time my uncles Habib Nadiadwala and Farooq Nadiadwala were producing a film called Gulami. My dad asked me to help them for a while. So, I used to be Dharmendra’s spot boy and Sangeeta Bijlani’s driver. I was considered glamorous spot boy, and Dharamji started calling me grandson. He knew my grandfather Abdul Karim Nadiadwala and also my father Suleman Nadiadwala. So, he would fondly call me grandson. Following him, everyone started calling me by that name. Our family has been into this since 1955, my grandfather produced Shakti Samanta’s film Inspector.

Do you remember your first day as a spot boy?
I don’t remember the first day as a spot boy, but my second film with them was Hatiyaar. The call time for Dharamji was at 5 am and it was the first day of shooting. We were shooting near the parking area of Gaiety cinema in Bandra.

I was asked to take permission from the local cops for the shooting. I took permission from one area, but director JP Dutta wanted to shoot the scene from other side of the road, which fell into another police station’s jurisdiction.

I didn’t have the necessary permission letters with me, so I went up to him and explained that he could take the shot from the side where we had permission. He screamed at me, ‘Who is the director of the film?’ I was so scared that I ran inside Dharamji’s make up van and didn’t come out the whole day!

So, that’s how you have learnt as a producer that never to interfere in a director’s work?
To an extent, I did learn a lot from my experience. When I decided to launch my own company, I was very sure that I would fight with the director on the script level, but would not interfere once he starts shooting. I think, shooting a film is the easiest part.

How did you think of starting your production house and why such a weird name for a company?
I named it Nadiadwala Grandson, because people used to call me by that name. I didn’t even realise that slowly I was getting involved in the business of cinema. I was just 21 years old when I decided that I will start my own company.

 Kangana Ranaut has made a mark for her self in Bollywood. She drew appreciation for her debut performance in Gangster folowed by roles in Woh Lamhe. She received flak for her performance in Shaka Laka Boom Boom but came back with a bang with her role in Life In A Metro.

Here is an interview of Kangana Raut where she talks about her realtionship with Aditya Pancholi, clarifies about her misunderstanding with the Bhatt Camp,  about silicon boobs and more..

Why have you often refrained from speaking to the media? Do you have an attitude problem? There’s so much to ask you…
I am a lonely person. I don’t exchange numbers. I keep to myself. Attitude comes to a person who has fame and money. I have neither (pauses). Okay, shoot. Today, I will talk.

Many Bollywood heroines are game to the surgeon’s knife for silicone boobs. Your take on that?
They are also going in for silicone hips, and not to forget, collagen lips. These girls feel that this is the best way to attract men and become a sex symbol. Little do they realise that it has an adverse effect on health. I have heard men talking about big boobs and big ass. I want to ask men. What matters to them- a nice pair of boobs or a girl with a nice nature? I will never get carried away.

You still seeing Aditya Panscholi?
I was never seeing Aditya Panscholi.

You were staying either in his flat with his family, or in a flat given by him?
No. Since two years, I have been staying in a 1-BHK at Yari Road. Few months back, I purchased a 3-BHK on Turner Road in Bandra. I will be shifting there in a month or two. How can I stay in a married man’s house?

Does this mean that you stay alone?
I used to stay alone. But now my younger sister from Dehradun has moved in with me.

Did Aditya become very possessive about you at one point? Those police complaints that you hadfiled against each other…
(Interrupts) It is very difficult to make anybody understand. There are some bonds which one can’t be given names and explained. He was a genuine friend.

He promoted you in Bollywood?
There was no way that he could promote me.

You are still in touch with him?
No. It ended. But I am sure that we are there for each other if we need any help.

Shiney gave you acting tips in Woh Lamhe and Gangster, and you got pissed off?
No, Shiney did not give me any acting tips.

Shimit Amin has hit the bull’s eye with Chak De India. Shahrukh Khan has surely done a great job as the hockey coach , but credit for the film’s success should also go to the Chak De India hockey girls.

16 girls who were all relatively new to the big screen surely made a big impact on the big screen with Chak De India. The sincerity and hard work they put into their work surely could be seen in their performances. Each one of them was a gem but the one’s that shone more brilliantly than the others were the Punjab Ki Beti,Balbir Kaur (Tanya Abrol) , the small dynamite Komal Chautala (Chitrashi Rawat), the schemer Bindya Nair (Shilpa Shukla)and the hot- high on attitude Preeti Sabharwal (Sagarika Ghatge).
Chak De Girls
So here is a bit about the Chak De girls. Watch the videos of their interviews and enjoy!!!
