What made 'Luck' a reality

Making a life-or-death reality show come alive on the big screen is no mean feat. But this is exactly what Prime Focus, Bollywood's leading post-production house, has made possible in Soham Shah's multi-starrer Luck. The film, loosely based on a reality show format and shot extensively in South Africa, has some nail-biting stunt sequences where the difference between life and death is the contestants 'luck'.

The Mumbai based post-production house, which has executed vfx for a number of Bollywood films so far, did some extensive work on Luck. The overriding factor on-shoot was the actors' safety. "As is often the case, this film too demanded the use of computer graphics and visual effects to make possible complex action sequences, including underwater and blasts," Merzin Tavaria, Creative Director, Prime Focus told Bollywood Hungama, "Our brief required us to make sure that the director's vision of cutting-edge and fast paced action sequences came alive on screen. We are glad to have achieved the same"

To find out the behind-the-scenes action from the edit room, here's an exclusive shot-by-shot breakdown of the most complex and interesting sequences from the film. Images courtesy the producers Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision and Prime Focus.

By Subhash K. Jha Bollywood Hungama News Network

It's Shahid versus Saif in the charts. And if Shahid is jiving to Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Dhan Te Nan' in Kaminey, Saif grooves to 'Twist' in Love Aaj Kal as though there's no tomorrow.

As far as listeners' choice goes, Vishal's track has a marked market edge, and Pritam has no qualms in admitting it. "I'm the biggest Vishal Bhardwaj fan, no two ways about it. His 'Dhan Te Nan' is awesome. I can't stop listening to it. I wish I had composed it," says the exuberant composer.

Says Pritam, "Never before have two dance numbers been so closely competitive in the charts. The fact that both Vishal's 'Dhan Te Nan' and my 'Twist' have an old-fashioned sub-layer just goes to prove, retro is back."

Both tracks have a ravishing retro feel to it. While 'Twist' has borrowed its main riff from Hemant Mukherjee's Nagin, the main hook line in Vishal's 'Dhan Te Nan' sounds suspiciously similar to the opening musical interlude of Laxmikant-Pyarelal's 'Hai Hai Yeh Majboori' from Manoj Kumar's Roti Kapda Aur Makaan.

While Pritam's 'Twist' openly acknowledges its debt to its source material, Vishal pooh poohs the suggestion that his 'Dhan Te Nan' bears any resemblance to the older song.

Vishal does agree though, that Love Aaj Kal is the main competition for the music of Kaminey.

However, the two current chartbusters, bumper-to-bumper hits of the kind not seen for a very long time, have more in common than it first appears to the eye ...and ear.

And only one of them will finally pull the product beyond the finish line.

BOX OFFICE REPORT

Dashavtaar opened to a poor 5-10% response. The film is unlikely to do well at the box office.

Meri Padoson is a washout with 0-2% collections and will out of theatres in the next few days

Coffee House, Ek Se Bure Do, Pal Pal Dil Ke Ssaat, Royal Utsav and School Days all have extremely poor first week collections and have made an exit from theatres. Ek Se Bure Do had best collections of around 50 lakhs while the others managed awful collections ranging from 3 lakhs to 5 lakhs.

8 x 10 Tasveer dropped in week two to record around 3 crore nett business. The two week total is 12.25 crore. DISASTER

Aa Dekhen Zara collects 30 lakhs nett for a three week nett total of around 5.25 crore. FLOP

Ek - The Power Of One grosses 40 lakhs nett in week three to have a three week total of around 6 crore. The film is managing average collections in single screens of Maharashtra and Bihar. FLOP.

With no major movie making it to the national chain of multiplexes, the single screens and standalone multiplexes witnessed a string of low-cost films making it this Friday. However, the opening numbers were terrible and even the recovery of theatre rentals seems like a remote possibility. Amongst previous titles, 8 x 10 TASVEER has sunk completely.

Only engagement not marriage:Rakhi Swant .


‘Rakhi Ka Swayamvar’ started with much glitz and glamour as a reality show on national television, but speculations were furious if the lady will actually marry or not. As now a days she says, instead of marry she will get engaged to the chosen one.

“I need to know the person well and I can’t gamble with my life for the sake of entertainment”, says the media child to a daily.
Now she has to select between three contestants - Chittiz, Manas and Elesh. If Rakhi admires Manas’s family and his maturity, she appreciates Chittiz frankness as he is not deceiving her by saying that till now he hasn’t fallen in love with her but finds her a good friend. On the other hand, the quiet, well-mannered NRI boy Elesh is not only the favourite of the audience but also of Rakhi and the buzz is strong that she is going to select him as her husband.

Well, what’s on Rakhi’s mind is not clear but a grand finale is planned for the show. In the coming episodes, you can see Rakhi’s haldi, sangeet and mehendi ceremonies as well; not only that, the item-girl has also invited Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan to her wedding. In fact, her sangeet would see a lot of Bollywood actors performing on various songs.

Saif refused 'Dostana' for Homosex.

Saif refused 'Dostana' for Homosex.


The film, which finally starred Abhishek, John Abraham and Priyanka in key roles, required dollops of gay attitude from the men. But that didn't make Saif averse to the role.

Abhishek Bachchan were expected to be a part of the movie when it was offered to him.

Contrary to popular belief that Saif declined the offer because its theme was homosexuality, the 38-year-old actor says he "didn't really chicken out" of the role.

"I didn't really chicken out -- I mean I just thought, I think there was Abhishek and Aishwarya in the movie at the time I was being offered it and I was just wondering if I needed to do that and how I would fit in really .

Shah Rukh also slams Emraan for ‘flat’ issue.


Emraan Hashmi’s expectations that the Khans will come out in his support when he raised his voice over communalism issue in Mumbai on being denied the NOC to purchase a flat in the posh Pali Hill area, is being slammed instead of being celebrated by Muslim actors in Bollywood. After Salman, Shah Rukh brushed aside the issue stating that such incidents should not be given importance.Earlier superstar Salman Khan laughed off Hashmi’s claim in his characteristic drawl, saying, "Emraan Hashmi would not have been Emraan Hashmi if Mumbai was not secular."

Salman Khan further said, "If communalism existed then Salman Khan would not have been Salman Khan, Aamir not Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh not Shah Rukh Khan. Injustice may have happened to others, but it has not happened to us. I have always got love and support from all quarters."

Shah Rukh, who is a Muslim but prefers to call himself a ‘secular Indian’, said, “I have never been treated differently because of my religion. I am 44 years old now and never in my life have I felt discriminated.”

Moreover, Nibbana, the Housing Society in the posh Pali Hill area of suburban Bandra in Mumbai, has also rubbished actor Emraan Hashmi`s allegation that he was denied NOC for flat ownership because he is a Muslim and said that proper procedures for acquiring the NOC had not been followed.

Katrina is doing BLUE for friendship.

Katrina is doing BLUE for friendship.


Shree Ashtavinayak's BLUE, stars like Sanjay Dutt,Akshay kumar.Lara Dutta Katrina Kaif ,Rahul Dev and Zayed Khan are assembled . When the film was announced there was a buzz that top actress Katrina Kaif had been paid an unheard of figure for just appearing in an item number for the movie. And sources also started touting Katrina as the highest paid item girl in Bollywood.



However, this proved to be totally false as Katrina is doing BLUE not for money but for friendship. And she is essaying a very special appearance (apart from a song) in BLUE, and the reason behind this is her friendship with the team and the makers of BLUE, especially Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd., who gave Katrina her first major hit in the form of David Dhawan's MAINE PYAR KYUN KIYA. This was confirmed by the numero uno actress, who accepted in a recent interview that she is doing BLUE only because of friendship. It may be added for the sake of those who are unaware that action king, Akshay Kumar was involved in a near fatal accident while filming for a dangerous underwater sequence with the sharks in BLUE.

Priyanka Chopra refuses to 'kiss' Shahid Kapoor.


While and Shahid Kapoor may have had sizzling chemistry off screen with Priyanka Chopra, she refused to lock lips with Shahid in a scene that leads to love making, which eventually leads to her getting knocked up. Now if you won’t kiss, it’s kind of hard to reach the final result, right? But it still took Vishal Bharadwaj two months to convince her to do the scene.

The intimate scene was first shot in Lonavala, but Vishal felt that the result wasn’t very convincing. So, he suggested that they kiss — an idea that did not appeal to Priyanka.

It can’t be that she was repulsed by her co-star, so why did she protest? Our source revealed, “Priyanka said that she was not told about the scene in advance. She categorically told Vishal that she was uncomfortable doing the kissing scene. Vishal did not press the issue and shot the scene without the kiss.”

Vishal was not satisfied, so after a few days, he called the couple to check out the scene. But Shahid was not free to reshoot because he was busy with Ken Ghosh’s Yahoo by then.

“Later, when Priyanka and Shahid saw the scene together with Vishal, Priyanka realised that something was amiss. She understood Vishal’s perspective and agreed to kiss Shahid,” our source added.

 Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea in a nightclub.


Bipasha and Dino were together at the party, which was a going away party for a common friend who was leaving for the US for good.

Everybody was surprised to see Bipasha and Dino partying together in a nightclub last week. The two haven’t been seen much together after they called it quits and Bipasha started seeing John Abraham.

Perhaps the two hanging out together had something to do with a certain Mr Abraham being away in London. As for the Bipasha-Dino equation, despite parting ways, the two have been good friends and no animosity was ever witnessed between them over the years. But seeing the two old lovers partying together did raise quite a few eyebrows.


Bipasha confirmed the news and said, “John’s best friend, Vicky, was leaving for America so decided to have a farewell party. All my friends, John’s friends and family got together. Unfortunately, John is in London and he missed all the fun that night.”

 Salman supports Ajay Devgan in London Dreams


Vipul Shah's lavishly mounted musical extravaganza, LONDON DREAMS. Salman Khan is convinced that he is playing a supporting role to Ajay Devgan.

This revelation was made by Salman himself, who while participating in the shooting of an important scene realized that Ajay was the main hero of the film. But that did not irritate the temperamental Khan, who was more than happy to do so because as per Salman, if he were the main hero he would have definitely ruined the drama. Whatever that is supposed to mean!!

In their last film together, HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM, we had Ajay Devgan playing the supporting role while Salman was the lead actor; however it appears that the tables have turned this time around. But whatever, this film would indeed be worth a watch whenever it releases!

Salman upset with producer Naseer.

Salman upset with producer Naseer.


Salman Khan seems to be upset with the producer Naseer. At the music launch recently of Shadow he displayed his annoyance towards the producers.
Salman Khan, who is well-known for not leaving a single opportunity to take a jibe on anyone, was surprisingly all praise for the newly turned producer actor Naseer Khan. Naseer despite being blind in real-life has played the role of a sharp shooter and car mechanic. Salman somehow was more impressed with producer Naseer Khan than actor.
Comparing him with the other top-notch producers in the industry today, he applauded the honesty in Naseer as a producer. “I respect Naseer, for he did not use his disability to make a fool of people associated with his film, which he could easily do. Unlike others producers who are always ready with some or the other excuse to escape from paying the money, Naseer has be a real gentleman,” says the star.
Well, after listening to all this, is Salman really upset with the producers or was he trying to be nice to debutant producer? Anyway, it is the fate of the film which is going to make difference in Naseer’s career ..

Kareena Kapoor now salwar-kameez-clad Punjabi Girl .


Kareena Kapoor has now taken a conscious break from the babble to play quiet and silently-evocative characters. After Kambakhht Ishq, Kareena is moving on to play a more real salwar-kameez-clad Punjabi girl in Raj Kumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots and also in Rensil D’Silva’s Kurbaan.

In 3 Idiots, she plays a girl who has nothing much to say and she keeps mum, much to Kareena’s relief. “I play a quiet and nice Punjabi doctor,” says Kareena. In Rensil D’Silva’s Kurbaan, she plays a character close to her heart and she loves the silence that the character permitted her. “I’ve got one of the best roles of my career. Rensil D’Silva is such a fine storyteller. Again this girl speaks less and acts more. I play a simple Delhi girl who finds out that her husband is a terrorist,” reveals Kareena about her role in the film.

“I need my acting energies to be re-fuelled. I have been playing talkative characters in all my recent films. Omkara was the last really quiet character I played. In 3 Idiots, I’m soft and gentle and that’s the real me.

I like my silence to speak for me. Unfortunately, in this business I am constantly asked to voice my opinion on everything,” adds Kareena. In fact, she has requested Saif Ali Khan and the director Sriram Raghavan, to let her play a spy in Agent Vinod.

LUCK is not lucky for Imran.

LUCK  is not lucky for Imran.


Sanjay Dutt On his birthday, July 29, feels very charitable ,shrugging off stories of Imran Khan undercutting his role in Luck, Sanjay says, “Imran is like a little child. He was very respectful through the two films we’ve done together. He’s a good actor. I wish him luck and I want him to grow into an actor as big as his uncle (Aamir). Sanjay says he did Luck for a lark. “I did it just to help Soham Shah. I really didn’t have the time or date. I told him to just cast me in a small role, which would finish quickly. In fact the role shaped up bigger than planned. As long as it makes some money and no one loses any, I’m happy.”
Hours before his birthday Sanjay is chilled out. But he has regrets about not being able to be near Amar Singh on his birthday. “I couldn’t even visit Amar Singhji because by the time the visa materialized the surgery was over. My wife Maanyata was there. But I speak to him everyday. He’s out of the hospital now. He sounds better. I’ve seen his health deteriorate during the election campaigns. God gave me an opportunity to look after my elder brother during the elections. I’m glad I was around. I can’t do ads or work within corporate sectors, because I am a convict”.

Rakhi Sawant end her swayamvar for shaadi .


Imran’s LUCK disappointment at box-office. The weekend collections are mere 12 crores which isn’t quite heartening considering the fact that the film boasted of number of top stars and had been given a major release.

‘Luck’, did see a good opening however, negative word of mouth spread soon after, courtesy some mind-puzzling dialogues, unbelievable situations and a totally laughable climax. Wait- what took the cake was an outrageously hilarious epilogue (around Imran Khan’s heart being on his right side instead of left) that totally put off audience.

‘Luck’ has been rejected and a full-fledged spoof seems to be round the corner. After ‘Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag’ and ‘Tashan’, the next butt of joke is ‘Luck’, with a readymade recipe of unintentional humor that could liven up the dullest of evenings.

With the film failing to bring in audiences over the weekdays and ‘Love Aaj Kal’ all set to take over audiences attention coming Friday, ‘Luck’ is all set to be second consecutive poor box office show for the combine of Sanjay Dutt and Imran Khan after ‘Kidnap’.

Bipasha is no problem for Kareena Kapoor.


Kareena who is occacional meeting with directors Abbas Mustan suggested to her Ajnabee directors that they make a sequel to the movie, since she’d loved the original. She gave her word that she’d be a part of the film whenever the script was ready. According to reports, they have already begun working on the script and have been meeting with Kareena, giving her all the latest updates.

“The director duo is incredibly fond of Kareena and would cast her in all their films if they could,” a source close to the pair says. They were also in a dilemma initially because of Bipasha Basu’s possible appearance in the sequel and her history with Bebo, which ironically had begun with Ajnabee. But Kareena assured everyone they had no issues anymore and she’d happily work with Bipasha. The two former rivals avoided having to act alongside each other, though, because Bips was killed off in the original and won’t be featured the sequel.

So far, Kareena has liked what she’s heard about the film from her directors, and is encouraging them to present the final draft soon so that she can get working as soon as possible. From one blockbuster to another, the race is on for Kareena

Elaborating on how his dream girl should be, the actor briefs, “She should be able to connect with me emotionally and on a day to day life. The girl should be different, but not to the extent that things doesn’t work out. Last but not the least, I know I would accept her the way she is.”
When asked about, would he tell his girlfriend to turn vegetarian, the actor quickly replies, “If she tells me to eat non vegetarian, I would not like it. Similarly, I would not tell her to leave non veg if she likes to eat that. Anyways this is a personal decision,” he adds.
Shahid has become very shy to media when it comes to talk about his personal life. “I had a public break-up, but now I am very private about my personal life. It became too public and difficult to handle. When there is something substantial, people will come to know about it,” he concludes.

Aishwarya and Shah Rukh’s cold war going to end.


Aishwarya and Shah Rukh’s seven year old cold war is going to end soon. Both will reportedly be seen in Shah Rukh Khan’s next home production.
According to reports, the clash of the two titans that began when Aishwarya was ousted from ‘Chalte Chalte’ (SRK’s home production) due to Salman’s incorrigible behaviour on the sets of the same is on the verge of a cease. Since the ouster episode had not gone down well with Ash. The two chose to keep mum henceforth, leading to a subsequent cold war between the two. But things are now looking positive as the actors have apparently agreed to work together again.

Sources suggest that SRK and Ash have decided to bury their hatchets and work together for a flick to be produced by SRK’s ‘Red Chillies Entertainment’. The other details regarding the project are not known as yet but what’s sure here is the fact that the two colossal actors will surely be seen giving each other company.

The shooting for the film is expected to start in 2010.

Salman Khan is the first choice of Minissha

Manissha Lamba wishes is to work with Salman Khan Minissha being her bubbly self is too forthcoming about this desire. She maintains, ''Salman Khan is one of my all time favourite actors. It's my big wish to do a film opposite him. I just pray and hope that my dream is realized soon.''

The actress is also excited about her forthcoming film which is being directed by Shyam Benegal. Minissha adds, ''Working with Shyam Benegal Ji is altogether a different experience. This political satire will see me in a different portrayal which is earthly and different from my previous roles.''

With Minissha making her designs about Salman Khan clear, let's hope Katrina steers clear of this big story.

This will be Sonam Kapoor's second endorsement.

The source continues, "Anil Kapoor has always refused to sell himself as a commodity. He was one of the few actors who refrained from doing ads despite fantastic offers. He prefers to be remembered for the characters he played in his films and not for endorsing a particular brand. But Anil has changed his principles for the sake of his daughter."

"The brand endorsed by this father-daughter duo, will definitely have an added advantage of targeting different generation and age groups. So no doubt the brand, endorsed by them, will definitely stand to benefit", adds the source.

A source close to Sonam confirms, "This is the first time one will see the father-daughter on screen. Anil is glad to make his debut in the ad industry with his daughter."
