"I want to live, not exist" - Anupam Kher
Born in Shimla, in the foothills of the Himalayas, I came to Mumbai 27 years ago in search of a career. That career eventually gave me a chance to showcase my talent, according me national recognition, and also some fame. I am thankful for that chance the city gave me.
Over the decades, I have slowly realised that Mumbai has seeped into my bones, into my psyche, almost imperceptibly. And it gradually changed me forever. As a small-town boy, its hugeness dwarfed me. It made me feel insignificant and that feeling made me strive to become a ’somebody’ in the metropolis. The huge bank of available talent, and the prevailing competition, spurred me to give every role my best shot. Unconsciously, the city broadened my horizons, made me an international citizen and also sparked a professional attitude in my approach to life.
Neil Mukesh records title track of Aa Dekhen Zara
We had earlier told you that Neil Mukesh would be making his singing debut in Jehangir Surti’s film Aa Dekhen Zara (earlier titled Freeze). Now Neil has gone ahead and recorded his song for the film. The song called ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’ is a modern day remix version of the popular dance number from the Sanjay Dutt- Tina Munim starrer Rocky which released way back in 1981.
The makers of Aa Dekhen Zara have got the rights for this original Pancham Da number and have given the song a modern day flavor. While Pritam has composed the music for the film, Gaurav Dasgupta has been the man behind this remix number.
Mumbai terror aftermath - Vishal Dadlani files petition for CHANGE
“I have been mighty upset ever since the Mumbai terror attack. The disappointment is not just for those ghastly three days that I spent in front of TV but also the activities around me that have been taking place ever since then”, says a visibly disturbed Vishal Dadlani who is now filing a petition for CHANGE.
“It is good to see us venting our frustration through blogs, SMSes and other means. However, I want people to stand up for the cause and do something about it as well. This is why I am filing a petition for CHANGE. I am addressing media here. I think that in the absence of responsible self-censorship, the media must be instructed to act in a particular manner, as required by on-ground reality.”
Music release of ‘Chandni Chowk…’ on Dec 9; ‘The President…’ now in Jan 09

In the aftermath of the recent terrorist attacks, a lot of filmmakers have shifted/postponed their film releases keeping in mind the grim situation in the city and across the nation. Last week’s two new releases Sorry Bhai and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! despite fetching decent reviews, failed to attract the footfalls at the cineplexes, as people just didn’t seem to be in a mood to go and catch a film.
The first Friday of December (Dec 5) was initially supposed to see as many as seven new releases but two of them- Khallballi- Fun Unlimited and Kaashh…Mere Hote have now been shifted ahead for obvious reasons.
Vijayta Films’ next ‘Cheers - Celebrate Life’
After APNE, Dharmendra and son Bobby Deol will team up yet again in their home-production, titled CHEERS - CELEBRATE LIFE. While APNE was directed by Deol favourite Anil Sharma, CHEERS - CELEBRATE LIFE will be helmed by another favourite, Sangeeth Sivan.
“It’s an interesting film. I haven’t attempted something like this before,” Sangeeth confirms. Please elaborate. “It’s a travel film with a bit of everything, including humour. But the humour is very character-based, unlike KYAA KOOL HAI HUM and APNA SAPNA MONEY MONEY. It’s a father-son film,” he divulges.
