Image

Instead of taking a break for the occasion, the actor and recording artist spent her special day working alongside the cast and crew, immersed in bringing another story to life. For Elnaaz, there was no better way to begin another year of her life than doing what she is most passionate about.

20 Years of Corporate EXCLUSIVE: Madhur Bhandarkar says, “Bipasha Basu deserved a National Award”; reveals National Awards jury debated between Corporate and Traffic Signal for 2-3 days: “I was DISAPPOINTED that Corporate didn’t win”

Image
Madhur Bhandarkar is known not only for making thought-provoking films but also for winning National Awards for them. Corporate (2006), which completed 20 years on July 7, was a highly loved film, yet it’s a rare Madhur film of that time not to win any National Awards or Filmfare Awards. On the occasion of Corporate ’s 20th anniversary, the acclaimed filmmaker spoke exclusively with Bollywood Hungama on this aspect. Madhur shared a fascinating trivia, “ Corporate and Traffic Signal (2007) competed in the same year at the National Awards (though the latter released 7 months later and the next year)! And yes, I was a bit disappointed that Corporate didn’t win any award. However, it was heartening to win the Best Director award for Traffic Signal at the National Awards. I guess the reality that Traffic Signal showed about the downtrodden appealed to them more. When I went to receive the National Award, a lot of jury members called me and confessed, ‘It took us 2-3 days to decide wh...

EXCLUSIVE: Tillotama Shome reveals Sunny Deol let a fly crawl into his eye for her close-up: “I would have stopped the scene, even if it was with the world’s BIGGEST leader…”; adds, “I don’t have to carry the flag for independent cinema”

Image
Three days before the release of her Netflix film, Ikka , Tillotama Shome spoke exclusively with Bollywood Hungama on a Zoom video call about the courtroom drama and a lot more. What do you go through when your film is a few days away from release? At present, I am going through a migraine because I am staring at a screen (laughs)! So, your brain hurts a little bit due to over-stimulation. The nervousness and slight anxiety are more before the first day of the shoot. It is the day when you wonder, ‘Have you entered the house through the right door?’ (laughs). No matter how much you prepare, that nervousness always shows up as you can’t plan what was going to happen on the set. Meanwhile, the release of the film is not in my hands at all. At this stage, I don’t have anything to do with that part. At the Netflix event earlier this year, you surprised one and all by revealing during your close-up shot, how Sunny Deol didn’t move though a fly was crawling into his eyes… Sid (Director...
