	Farah finds acting funny! Choreographer-turned-filmmaker Farah Khan finds it funny that she is now also dabbling in acting. Farah has moved from behind the camera to being in front of it with the film Shirin Farhad ki Nikal Padi, and has been cast opposite Boman Irani. She admits she is amused whenever she says she is acting, but her co-star Boman helps her get along with it. "I find it very funny when I say that I am acting in a film. Now that I am acting, Boman is my acting coach and he literally holds my hands and tells me what to do and how to do it," the 47-year-old said here while unveiling the Zoroastrian calendar "Zyng", along with Boman. Talking about the film, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Boman said: "The film is a romantic love story of people who are in their mid-40s." Farah also chipped in with her typical tongue-in-cheek style and said: "It is a romantic-comedy as our love story automatically becomes a comedy." Meanwhile, Farah's next production Joker, starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, is expected to release on August 30. And Boman has a line-up of releases like Ek Main aur Ekk Tu, Tezz, Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai and Housefull 2 this year. — IANS
	Guzaarish going places Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai starrer Guzaarish - meaning 'request' in English - is set for a Peru release in February this year, as Bollywood looks towards newer markets. Guzaarish deals with the serious subject of euthanasia and received a four out of five star review and was called "one of the most unusual love stories of recent times". The fact that the film has already won recognition in markets outside of India, including in France, gives UTV Motion Pictures reason to be hopeful about its reception in Latin America. "Latin America as a new market is a focus for us. The Indian population is limited in Peru, which makes it even more significant an achievement to have managed a release for the film there. We're looking forward to the Guzaarish release in Peru," Fox News quoted Amrita Pandey, Senior Vice President of International Distribution and Syndication at UTV Motion Pictures as saying. Apart from Guzaarish, trailers of the upcoming Bollywood flick Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu have been translated to Spanish and will also be coming soon to theatres in Peru. Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu - meaning, 'You and I' in English - is a romantic comedy starring Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Its plot has been compared by some to the American film, 'What Happens in Vegas' and the Mexican film, 'Recien Cazado'. Although it is difficult to predict the success of such ventures, it seems that traditional Bollywood films, known for their dramatic and romantic themes which can often times come across as a little cheesy would do quite well with Spanish-speaking audiences; after all, this also describes an already well-loved Latin American phenomenon - the telenovela. Bollywood films have enjoyed a global following in the diasporic South Asian community for generations, but it's only been in the past decade that these films have benefited from considerable attention by Anglo-American and other non-Hindi speaking audiences, as evidenced by the success of such recent films as My Name is Khan and 3 Idiots. — ANI
	Dad’s the way to go... Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor is all praise for his father Rishi Kapoor's performance in Karan Johar's Agneepath and says it is the latter's passion for work that inspires him to do better. Rishi Kapoor has essayed a negative role in the film. The veteran actor has also experimented with his looks in the film with his kohl-eyed character donning a kurta-pajama, and sporting a karakul cap. "I am hearing such amazing stuff about my father's performance in Agneepath. He is a brilliant actor. If a person is a good actor then the person will continue to work lifelong and keep giving good performances. He is 55 plus but he is still getting so of much of work to do," says Ranbir. "There is some sort of childishness (in him) when he gets offers for any movie or any new character. His passion for work...for cinema inspires me to do better work," he adds. The father-son duo will be seen together for the first time in a commercial for a soft-drink brand. On the possibility of them being seen together on the big screen, Ranbir says, "No one has really offered us a script that both of us liked. We both are individual actors and if a good script, good characters come our way and and we both like it then we will definitely work together." Ranbir, who has already bagged two 'best actor' awards for his performance in Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar, is happy that the hard work he put in for the film has paid off. "I have worked hard in Rockstar and I feel I'm lucky to get an opportunity to work with Imtiaz Ali, Shammi Kapoor, A R Rahman and others," he adds. — PTI

	Brad owes it to Bono Brad Pitt has credited Bono for helping him become the man he is today with his humanitarian advice. The movie star admitted to The Hollywood Reporter that he "sought out" the U2 singer after a visit to Morocco made him realise just how severe poverty was in certain areas of Africa. The life-changing trip forced Pitt to "get off the couch" and join Bono and the other celebrities who attempt to make a difference in the world. "I sat down with him a few times and got involved in some of the stuff he was doing," he said. And Pitt reveals it was shortly after that he met his current partner Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr 'n' Mrs Smith. "That may have been one of the things that brought us together. Certainly, I've met very few people more dedicated than she is. She is always studying issues, daily. She has such compassion for the people she works with," he revealed. — ANI

Renu Sabberwal Yoga mudra Among the many practices creating positive pressure on the lower abdominal region, yoga mudra is considered to be the most important. Mudra means a symbol.

	TRENDSETTER Comfort over trend Every person has a sense of style in his own right. Yet there are only a few who’d attract the second glances, who have the power to make the camera go zoom on them. It could be the tousled hair, it could be torn jeans. Our this week’s face in the crowd, Jatin Dutt, final year student, University Institute of Engineering and Technology, believes in being simple and groomed all the way. Your sense of style is… The fact is that a well-groomed man will garner a second glance. Style for me is defined by the overall personality but I also believe that first impression counts. I like experimenting with my clothes and looks, but I draw the line when it comes to comfort. The more comfortable you are with the look the better you can pull it off. Ranging from rugged street wear to a chic look, it all depends on what makes me feel comfortable at the moment. Latest addition in the wardrobe… A leather jacket from Woodland. It never goes out of fashion. Brand freak or street smart? Brands are good, but being street smart is much better. I have had my share of hi-end brands but it’s always about looking good in whatever appealing comes my way and it certainly doesn’t have to have a label... Choose one—sporty, glamorous or chic Sporty all the way Your style icon … David Beckham. It’s not easy living up to the title of being voted “the most stylish male star of UK”...but he certainly does. Who’s the worst dressed celebrity around? No one in particular. I think everyone has a ‘bad’ day of his/her own One fashion trend you don’t understand… Baggy jeans that don’t seem to stay put. It’s like “dude c’mon pull it up”. Your take on accessories It can work wonders if not overdone. A nice watch, pair of fine sunglasses and a good skull cap might just do the trick for me. One thing that boosts your confidence It’s not so much about people’s remarks but if I know the fact that I have a fit body and am comfortable in what I’m wearing, it’s all I need to keep me confident and kicking. —As told to Manpriya Khurana (If you think you too fit the profile, get in touch with us at lifestyletribune@gmail.com. sift the best from the rest)
	Telly-VISION Karanvir Bohra will now be seen in the lead role of upcoming serial Saubhagyavati Bhava Jasmine Singh If it gives us unadulterated, uninhibited melodrama, it also makes celebrities; we are not talking about Salman Khan but Indian television. The flat screen box (idiot box is an old term) has churned out celebrities faster than movies. Karanvir Bohra, the lead actor of UTV production's Saubhagyavati Bhava, a television serial on Like Ok channel is one such name. First it was a comedy serial Shararat, then came the instant hit Kasauti Zindagi Ki where he played Prem and now it is the new serial after a break of three-and-a-half years — Saubhagyavati Bhava. Television actors taking a break from telly, is that possible? "Sure it is," he is quick to add, "I did Kasauti, which was like an instant hit, after this I wanted to do something that was at least on par. I waited for almost three-and-a-half years. I did get a lot of offers at that time and good money as well. But only thing that mattered at that time was a good role. So, when UTV offered Saubhagyavati Bhava, I took it up instantly," shares Karanvir, who prefers people calling him by his full name! Would you call that obsession! What say Karanvir? He gets the pun. "Not at all; I play the character of Viraj in Saubhagyavati Bhava, which has a negative shade to it but I have a different way of looking at things. I don't see people who have excess love to display or any kind of thing for anything as obsessive. Besides, this is a challenging character that has allowed me to present myself as an actor," he shares. All said and done, TV doesn't allow you to be an actor with a difference, thanks to the monotony. "The day that seeps in I will walk out of the serial," Karanvir is clear about it. Currently working in two movies, a musical play with Ila Arun, Karanvir has his hands full. "If I have the guts to wait for so long in TV industry for a good role, I can do that to get a good role in a movie as well." jasmine@tribunemail.com

As we have yet another Punjab da munda Pardeep Joshi who is ready to make a Bollywood debut. Pardeep Joshi belongs to Ludhiana, but is settled in Mumbai for the past seven years now. "I did my graduation in theatre from Arya College, Ludhiana, and my masters in theatre and television from Punjabi University, Patiala. I always wanted to become an actor," says Pardeep. "I also have the experience of working with directors from the National School of Drama such as Kewal Dhaliwal and Nadira Babbar." So what made him land in Mumbai? "I went to Mumbai for attending some good theatre workshops so that I could polish my acting skills. During the workshop I went for the auditions of the serial Love Story by Sony TV and bagged a role. That was my first ever break on television and I was very excited." Pardeep, who is better known as Deep, was offered his second serial by Zee TV titled Chalti Ka Naam Gaddi. Karam Apna Apna by Balaji Telefilms for Star Plus was yet another serial in which Pardeep acted; the serial generated good TRPs. And when was he offered his first ever movie role? "While I was doing Karam Apna Apna I got an offer for Chak Jawana, which also starred Gurdas Maan. It was the greatest moment in my life."

I played a grey shade character for this movie." While it was raining Punjabi movies, he got an offer from Bollywood for the movie Bloody D, a suspense thriller directed by Leena Tandon.

Pardeep misses his hometown, Ludhiana, a lot and e feels that although Punjabis have a lot of talent, which is hardly identified. When asked to compare acting in serials and movies, Pardeep says, "Acting in serials is a little more difficult because it is telecast daily; so it's monotonous at times. As far as movies are concerned, one has enough time to discuss the character and imbibe the script." Pardeep signs off by saying that the newcomers in the industry should know the basics of acting and keep working hard. sabiatalwar@tribunemail.com

	Straight talk... Priyanka Chopra talks about Agneepath, her associations in Bollywood and more Fresh take I hadn’t seen the original Agneepath till I signed this movie. The reports of the movie are good and people have liked Hrithik, mine, Sanjay, and Rishi Kapoor’s work. My role has been written fresh. I am happy for Karan Malhotra, the director as this is his first film. Familiar scene I didn’t want to do Heroine. Madhur and I had several conversations about this.

	Agent Vinod is Indian: Saif Dismissing any similarities with fictional spy agent James Bond, Bollywood actor-producer Saif Ali Khan says his character in Agent Vinod is totally desi. The much-awaited action-spy film, with Saif and his real life lady love Kareena Kapoor, is ready for release. And comparisons with the James Bond series are inevitable, says Saif. "Any audience who comes to see the film will think that we have done an Indian James Bond. This is a very stupid thing to do because firstly, James Bond is a completely English character," he told reporters on the sidelines of the launch of the first poster of the movie. "From the first scene of the film, you will realise that this is an Indian hero who is very different to the Bond character because we didn't want to make a copy of the Bond film," added Saif. However, if Agent Vinod turns out to be a box office success, Saif might consider making sequels to it, a la the James Bond series, of which 22 films have been made so far. The 23rd is in the process of being made. "If the film does well, it depends on the audience. If the picture becomes popular, then of course we will look forward to making a series," said Saif. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the action-loaded film is slated to release on March 23. — IANS

The actor who stars in new supernatural thriller Woman in Black—doesn’t believe he will ever share the experiences depicted in the movie because he doubts the existence of supernatural beings. “I’m not a believer in ghosts so I find it very unlikely that I’ll ever see one,” he said. While Daniel found shooting his new movie to be a relaxing appearance, he admitted he was occasionally “frightened” when he caught a glimpse of co-star Liz White, who plays the titular ghost. “Other than being occasionally scared by Liz White who would just sort of sit around in the Woman in Black outfit — I’d just sort of catch a glimpse of her sort of half made up, that was kindof a bit frightening — it was quite a relaxed shoot, actually,” he added. —ANI

	Good going... Soon after the launch, Star Plus’ prime time, Diya Aur Baati Hum became a popular and hit show. And while Suraj and Sandhya’s story is an important part, Bhabhoo too plays a crucial role in heralding the achievement. We spoke to Bhabhoo aka Neelu. How did you get this show? I have done over 50 Rajasthani films as a heroine, and was approached for shows earlier too but nothing really caught my fancy. When the makers of Diya Aur Baati offered me this role, I realised this was too good to pass. DABH is my first TV show and I am glad to be a part of it. Working in TV and films must be different? Sure it is. Working on television is a experience for me. I am enjoying it. It is hectic but if the work is good and satisfies you at the end of the day, it is worthwhile. Which has been the most memorable event for you on this show? When we were shooting in Rajasthan, crowds would gather to watch the shoot and come to see me too. My producer told me that he had no idea about my popularity. I thank everyone for making me who I am today. Why do you think Bhabhoo became so popular so quickly? Bhabhoo is a character you can easily relate to. There is no ‘acting’ involved and I guess that’s why people are enjoying and loving the role so much. She married at a young age and took responsibilities of her home. Now she wants her bahus to do the same. Everyone woman in villages is like my character. Isn’t she too too strict? No. I don’t think she is strict but merely a disciplinarian. It is essential to have discipline in life and Bhabhoo ensures there is some order in the house. Every person at home has some duties and responsibilities, which one has to take care of. Bhabhoo is a normal mother who runs the house in a certain way.
