National award-winning actor-producer Arjun Rampal, who will soon to be seen in the upcoming web series titled The Final Call, says since he was a supermodel before entering Bollywood, initially filmmakers cast him in characters keeping only his "good looks" in mind. Talking about his career graph that has changed since 2008 with Rock On!, Arjun said, "At the start of my career, filmmakers had a limited vision of me, perhaps that is why I only got to play a millionaire or a boyfriend in a love triangle. Back in 2000, we were not working on bound scripts the way we are doing it today. Therefore, as an actor, I never got a chance to work on my characters which I started doing with films like Rock On!, The Last Lear, Inkaar and so on."

"Oh God, one more remix?" Karan Johar rightfully asks in the reboot version of "Aankh Marey" in Simmba. Bollywood musicians are increasingly looking back at old tracks and pepping them up with a sprinkle of dance music and serving them to Bollywood buffs -- much to some people's joy and to some people's dismay.
The onset of 2019 has brought along one song recreation after another. "Aankh Marey", "Tere bin", "Chamma chamma", "Paisa yeh paisa" and the latest "Mungda", which was launched on Tuesday.
Singer Subhro J Ganguly, who has forayed into Bollywood with "Paisa yeh paisa" and "Mungda" from the upcoming film Total Dhamaal, says recreations are like tributes to legendary composers.?
"The 1970s' and 1980s' music was so legendary that our new generation is rediscovering it in their own way and recreating it. The current generation is dancing to those tunes and paying tribute to those legendary composers and singers,...

Some women are seeing more empowering roles in Bollywood in the past few years, but is this “a small wave or a tsunami in the years to come?,” asked the Film Bazaar Knowledge Series panel ‘Female Protagonists in Bollywood Today.’
“In the past two years something of a change seems to be occurring in terms of how women are getting portrayed in Indian cinema, in Bollywood specifically,” said moderator Namrata Joshi, National Cinema Editor from The Hindu, at today’s panel, pointing to films like English Vinglish, Queen and Piku.
Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra (Inkaar) said talking about the new ‘trend’ of women-centric films ignores Indian film history from the ’50s to ’80s-’90s, when women like Madhubala and Meena Kumari had as much star power as men.
But he added that new technologies are opening up film-makers to portray more interesting characters, male or female, although this isn’t always in the mainstream where bigger budgets are at...

Earlier we had reported that Chitrangda Singh would be starring in a film directed by Kushan Nandy. While we were aware that the film would be a thriller, now we hear that this untitled venture has finally got a name and it is Babumoshai Bandookbaaz. Elaborating on the film, director Kushan says that this action thriller will be shot extensively in West Bengal, in areas like Purulia and Burdwan which is famous for red soil. He also mentioned that his film will have realistic characters and Chitrangda along with others will have elements of grey in the roles that they play. Adding further, Kushan revealed that Chitrangda will portray the role of a cobbler and she will also be undergoing intensive training to get the nuances right. Moreover, unlike her avatar in Desi Boyz or Inkaar, the actress will go completely de-glam for the film. Kushan Nandy is really thrilled...

Sudhir Mishra is reportedly facing financial issues in releasing his next film, after his previous film Inkaar starring Arjun Rampal and Chitrangda Singh didn’t do well at the box office.
Sudhir’s new film features Rishi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan and Chitrangda Singh. The film was delayed for a bit because of Rishi’s packed schedule and Mr. Bachchan’s health. The film reportedly has no buyers as a huge amount of 26 crores is needed for the same and raising the money is proving to be difficult.
It seems that director Nikhil Advani, who has co-written the script with Sudhir Mishra and some other writers, backed out of being a part of the film due to some commitments. According to the Times of India, sources have declared that Nikhil’s business partner Vivek Rangachari cleared the air by saying that Nikhil had to back out because of professional reasons, but...

Mumbai, Jan 29: “Inkaar” is the first movie of actor Arjun Rampal where he got a chance to work with the talented film maker Sudhir Mishra. Sudhir says at last, Arjun is getting such roles being offered to him, which suits him. The film is all about sexual harassment of female workers at the work place and it has Chitrangada Singh opposite Arjun. Arjun was initially called to have a “wooden face” but then due to the performances in his recent films like “Rajneeti”, “Rock On”, he has successfully come out of such a negative image. Sudhir says that the actor inside Arjun is growing up.

Is the independent film directed by a fresh talent and featuring names that are not the marquee rulers here to stay? Judging by the curiously heightened appeal of this Friday’s release Akaash Vani, one would think that the small film with under-exposed faces has finally found its bearings towards the box office.
Some would say sophomore director Luv Ranjan has bitten off more than he could chew by pitching his love story Akaash Vani, starring two semi-newcomers, straight against this year’s first purported blockbuster Race 2.
We have it from a very reliable source that Akaash Vani producer Abhishek Pathak and director Luv Ranjan took the decision of pitching their film directly against the Race franchise, rather than coming a week earlier to avoid a clash.
The earlier plan was to release Akaash Vani on January 18 when Sudhir Mishra’s Inkaar was due. But when the core crew saw their end product,...

The earlier plan was to release Akaash Vani on January 18 when Sudhir Mishra’s Inkaar was due. But when the core crew saw their end product,...

Chitrangada Singh has said that Inkaar is a love story. The drama, which co-stars Arjun Rampal, is about sexual harassment in the workplace. Singh told Bollywood Hungama: "The script was very modern. For me Inkaar is essentially a love story. It's about these two people who are so passionately involved at one time and when they end up at loggerheads against each other, they do that too with equal passion. "[My character] is the absolute modern Indian woman, as right or as wrong as any woman today. She is fighting for the fairness (more)...

Like all of us, Chitrangda Singh is a Sridevi fan. No wonder Chitrangda was over the moon when last week she got to perform one of Sridevi's most beloved dance numbers 'Na Jaane Kahan See Aayi Hai' from the film Chaalbaaz with John Abraham in their film together I Me Aur Main. Chitrangda, basking in the rave reviews she has received for her performance in Inkaar, had to share the number with Prachi Desai. Not just that the entire song has been turned down from a female-gender perspective to a male one, to suit the leading man's stature. An indication of the male-domination that controls the film industry? Chitrangda laughs her throaty laughter and says, "I told John the revised avatar of the Sridevi song goes well with his character in I Me Aur Main. But seriously, all three of us John, Prachi and I had fun dancing to the number.

Turning script advisor is one role that Arjun Rampal wasn't expecting to play when Inkaar, a film centred on the issue of sexual harassment, came his way. However once he green-lighted the Sudhir Mishra's film in principle, he decided to let his creative juices flowing and completely turned around the entire narrative. Well, literally!"Sudhir's narrative was quite straight forward and linear. He wanted the story of Arjun and Chitrangda to start at one point, go through a trans...

Just when you think that Bollywood has finally grown up enough to tackle issues of sexual harassment at workplace, it gobsmacks you with an Inkaar – a film so inept and confused that I wonder what was director Sudhir Mishra’s intention in the first place.
Maya (Chitrangadha Singh), the National Creative Director of a successful advertising agency, accuses her boss Rahul (Arjun Rampal) of sexual harassment. Scared of the negative publicity it will get the agency, the head honchos decide to set up an internal inquiry into the matter. The committee consists of Maya and Rahul’s colleagues and is headed by a Ngo representative (Deepti Naval). As they talk to Maya and Rahul by turns, we get two different perspectives of the same story. Turns out that Maya was Rahul’s discovery and his protégé. A short affair was followed by a bitter break-up and Maya...

The two major releases of the week, Sudhir Mishra's Inkaar and Viking Media and Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.'s Mumbai Mirror, have failed to embark on a satisfactory start. The remaining release of the week, Bandook, is likely to sink without a trace, barring a few single screens of the hinterland.While the Arjun Rampal and Chitrangada Singh starrer, Inkaar, was never expected to set the box-office on fire, still the 20 percent opening (on an average) is a big disappointment, conside...

New Delhi, Jan 16: Although Sudhir Mishra's "Inkaar" talks about sexual harrasement at the workplace and word 'sex' has been used 262 times in it, but reportedly the director has not used any explicit scenes to narrate his story.
The film is releasing Friday with U-a certificate, and the real content will revealed only then.
But if sources are to be believed, there was a kiss and few lovemaking scenes between the film's lead pair - Arjun Rampal and Chitrangada Singh - in the script, however, owing to Chitrangada's hesitation, changes were made in the script.
Chitrangada was apparently adamant about not doing any revealing or sexual.
