Portrait of an artist
Having started his acting career as a child, Kamal Haasan has reached such amazing heights of achievement that only a few can dream of…
An iconic actor, superstar of the south, legend at 59, an epitome of versatility…choose your own epithet to describe Kamal Haasan, the phenomenon, often known for his mercurial temperament too. But here at hotel Cidade de Goa, he is as human as possible, easily accessible ready to pose with his fans, be photographed minus sunglasses (the trademark of all ageing actors) and interact with media as he digs into his breakfast.
And guess what as the man who had the world beneath his feet at 24, who made his debut at four and won a President's Gold Medal at the tender age of six too, looks back, all he can say is, '"I think I could have done a lot better."

Literati—2013
Book mark
Literature rooted in reality looks down upon the popular fiction. Bestsellers ensure that publishing remains a business and literature an industry. From a young writer influenced by the likes of Dan Brown and Robert Ludlum to an experienced one who brushes aside the superfluity of crime thrillers; literary work remains both infinite and indispensable.

Jaskshan's Dance Dacha

STAR TRACK
Sonakshi Sinha: Only I can fill my space
Sonakshi Sinha has two releases back-to-back with Bullett Raja and R...Rajkumar. She talks about movies, love, co-actors and more.
Bullett Raja and R...Rajkumar
Yes, Tigmanshu sir's film and Prabhu sir's films are like the two ends of the spectrum. In Bullett Raja, I play a struggling actress. It is an interesting premise and I really wanted to work with
Tigmanshu. I respect him a lot. About R…Rajkumar, it is a typical, masala film with songs and dance. It is a film where romance is given as much importance as action.
No comparison
For Huma Qureshi working with her idol Madhuri Dixit in upcoming film Dedh Ishqiya was a dream come true and the actress says she never once felt insecure about sharing screen space with the Bollywood diva.
No fishy business this

Sources suggest that Kajol wanted the same treatment given to Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon which included a Limo and five business class tickets for her staff. The organisers politely declined.
