A meaningful dialogue
The discerning movie buff might remember him as the chief guest who becomes the butt of ridicule in the famous infamous speech delivered by Chatur Ramlingam in the super-hit 3 Idiots. The equally alert viewer might be able to spot him once again in PK with which too his association is as important or as insignificant.
While screenplay and dialogue writer Atul Tewari might be a reluctant actor he is certainly not a reluctant writer or a speaker for that matter. During a master class at IFFI, Goa on the art of screenplay writing, he holds the audience engaged as much with his deep knowledge of the subject as with ability to punctuate it with a sense of humour. In an exclusive tête-à-tête too, he parries a volley of questions and unafraid to speak out his mind. So, in times when scripts are becoming meaningless, does he feel the role of script writers too is being undermined? He says, “If people get the government they deserve, the same is true for cinema too. After all, for Shah Rukh Khan’s films, viewers are not descending from another planet. You and I are watching his films.” Sure film industry is star driven, certainly at times writers have to fall in line. But fortunately he reminds, “Today, we have amidst us a whole bunch of directors like Sudhir Mishra, Anurag Kashyap and Vikramditya Motwane who make their own rules.” And while rules for screenplay writing can be dispensed away with, he asserts that some basic principles like theme, plot, characters, diction, music and spectacle have to be followed. Research too is crucial even if it’s a film like Mission Kashmir which he insists is not a political film but a story of father and son and their tumultuous relationship. Talking of themes, in a country where feathers are easily ruffled, just as his Viswharoopam managed to rattle quite a few, does a writer have to be acutely conscious of mindful of not stepping on others’ toes? First and foremost, he says, “It’s not people who protest. It’s those with vested interests who sometimes take matter in their hands. So, they object to a Jodha Akbar if it doesn’t suit them or to a Shabana Azmi film simply because she attended a party hosted by Pakistan High Commission.” But whatever may be the power of these extraneous forces he is not easily cowed down. So, even at a film festival organised by the government he has the gumption to read out a song that could bar the doors of IFFI on him forever. Yes, the might of pen might not bow down before powers that may be but it is yet to find its due regard and reward in the film industry. He rues, “In a country where there are fixed wages for everything, there are none for the writer.” But they have formed a writer’s association pressing for better remuneration in future. In times to come progression from writing to direction would be natural too. Only he is already a director and has directed a historical play and would love to see it as a film too. But he is in no tearing hurry to be a film director. For, if screenplay writing has to follow a graph, so does life, in which too nothing can be pre-empted.

Two for joy
Neeru Bajwa, Harish Verma, Yuvraj Hans—the trio is a rocking team. At least, that’s the first impression, when we see them sharing the stage in Chandigarh on Thursday.
On the eve of the release of their film Proper Patola, the trio is relaxed, looking forward to the BO response and more than happy to share the making of this Punjabi flick that has reigning queen of Pollywood in a double role. Twin treat Neeru Bajwa, who plays Jeet and Preet in the film, didn’t take long to say yes when the script was read out to her. “Whenever I am offered a script, I listen from a movie goer’s point of view. It didn’t offer me much screen time but I loved the story,” she shares. While playing Preet, who is quiet and a simpleton, came easy, Jeet who is an opposite was quite a challenge. “Jeet is this bubbly person who speaks her mind and I personally love loud girls who stand for their rights,” sums up the leading actress. About the boys, she admits that Harish gave her more trouble out of the two but also as she changed from one get-up to another, both her co-stars and the whole crew behaved well. Someone asks if the rumours of her undergoing the knife are true and Neeru plays safe, “I haven’t heard any and in any case I work non- stop I don’t even have the luxury of recovering form a surgery,” and about her leaner looks she says it is diet control. With love The boys are happy to come together for a third time. And, staunchly they support the script. “The script was written with Bollywood in mind, so you see it has a certain standard,” reveals Harish. “It’s a romantic comedy, made with lots of love,” adds Yuvraj Hans, who has sung two songs in the film. Name game The name of the film stirs a controversy as why call a sohni sunukhi kudi patola (a piece of cloth). But the actors defend, “It is a sweet word and adding ‘proper’ makes it so modern. It sound so good, say Proper Patola,” urges Harish. Those who not convinced are left un-convinced and the conversation steers towards the Punjabi film industry that is giving flop after flop. The actors agree that those in real estate are using money to churn out bogus entrees. “I believe a producer should have the passion for the process rather than aiming at minting money. Yes, some made lots of money, there are others whose films were a hit and yet went around saying, ‘Assin taan film di chah bhi ni peeti’.” As for self, he makes sure that the script is strong before signing a project. “The execution lies totally in the filmmaker’s hand, I make a choice based on what I see in a story,” says Harish. mona@tribunemail.com

Image makeover
Kuljinder was looked up as role model by many youngsters after his film Sadda Haq. But he suddenly came under scanner for letting his hair down in the film Yoddha. For anyone else, it could be nothing more than a case of some crazy fans going bonkers, but Kuljinder takes it very seriously. “I respect the sentiments of my fans and the audience. I understand that they could relate to my looks and my character in my previous film Sadda Haq, but as an actor, I feel it is important to break stereotypes.” Fans have detested his new look, some have even gone to the extent of asking him why he is not always seen with a turban. “I got perturbed, in fact, for a long time. Later, I though I was more than a character, and like all other actors I have the right to change my looks,” he adds removing his glasses and allowing us to look into his eyes, in case they stand to some validation! Kuljinder, who along with his partner Dinesh Sood, is successfully running his company OXL Productions that produces films and also supports new actors, is now gearing up for his innings in Bollywood and cinema down South. “I already have an offer for a big-banner Telugu film and another one in Bollywood, let’s see how it works.” Kuljinder, whose six-packs have inspired many other actors in Pollywood, is all trying different genres but as far as Punjabi cinema is concerned, “this is something I want always to be connected with. Punjab is a storehouse of stories and if we get really professional we can raise the bar of our films,” says the actor stopping to mention that he has now seen the good and bad of the industry. “The idea is to take it in my stride and keep moving.” With the new look? “Let’s see how it goes, I would want to mention that I have received umpteen compliments for my new look,” he says, trying to smile. “I am a fighter who never quits the battlefield,” he adds, “like a true yoddha.”

Time to watch out
Another lifestyle label that makes an entry in the market this April, is already creating a hype in Ludhiana.
Gaurav Mehta from Jaipur has been passionate about collecting antique coins and is obsessed with watches. So, he combined both his passions to create products that have the regal antiquity and contemporary styling. The result, watches having age-old coins that form the dials and the brand becomes Jaipur Watch Company. These are designs that combine a great heritage value and modern time on the same page. Most of the coins are from the period of 1839 to 1849 having the pictures of King George VI and more. Sapphire glasses are used to create nice-looking pieces. These are presented in the old-style box. Mehta, who was in Ludhiana for an exhibition also displayed post cards from the pre-Independent time and coins to seal the date with history. "I conceputalise all the designs and make sure that every piece has its own unique voice," says Gaurav. Then he pulls out a watch that seems to be right out of history. The coin in front 'clicks' open to reveal the handheld watch behind. To top its antique 'feel', the watch is mechanical one that is wound periodically to keep up with the modern times. Showing the watch, Gaurav smiles, for his effort of marrying antiquity with modernity have created pieces that spell class.

The Foodies Poonam Bindra With our cuisine going global in all its mouthwatering variations, Tannur at Hyatt Regency-Ludhiana comes out to be a refreshing change with its typically ethnic Indian fare from all states. A guest can enjoy the Macher Jhol (fish with potatoes) from West Bengal or the Ghosth Reezala (tender lamb cooked with cashew nut gravy) from Andhra Pradesh or the typical Southern specialties. It is interesting to note that our familiar tandoor is a derivative of the Persian word Tannur. “With dishes ranging from North to South and East to West, our menu becomes very comprehensive, yet we try to maintain the authentic flavours of the regions,” says the executive chef Ravi Kumar. The ambience exudes warmth with its colour scheme of charcoal and red and with the highlight decoration of inverted umbrellas it becomes the ideal setting for a private meal which quite differs from the hustle-bustle of the buffet area. “We wanted an exclusive family get- together with a sit down meal so this is just right for us” quips industrialist Jaswant Singh as they occupy the sixteen- seater area and orders a variety of Indian specialties like the Gatta Curry, Peshwari Tikki and of course not to miss the Dal-e–Tannur accompanied by all types of breads straight from the tandoor . The current attraction is the ongoing Kashmiri festival which takes one through the journey of Wazwaan with its specific non-veg offerings starting from the Yakhni to the Tangri Kebab (marinated and flavoured with saffron) the Atta Chicken and the ever famous Gushtaba with its pounded meat. Lotus stem (nadru) is a root vegetable which is a popular ingredient in the Kashmiri cuisine. Die-hard vegetarians Kunal and Natasha Jain can not stop raving about the succulent Nadru ke Kebab, the Lehsuni Malai Palak and Paneer-e- Saffron. The accompanying bread is a Naan laced with dry fuit and called Kidha Prantha. The sweet of course has to be laced with saffron so it is Kesar Phirni which is the favourite in the dessert section.

star track
Films first, theatre can wait
Huma Qureshi was actively into theatre before she came into the industry. The talented actor worked with many theatre groups in Delhi. She started performing with Act 1 Theatre Group and was working with various other groups before she made her debut in Bollywood with Gangs of Wasseypur. She has made inroads into the industry on her own. She has given different performances and has not been afraid of experimenting.
However, like her seniors Naseerudin Shah, Irrfan Khan she does not plan to go back to theatre. Huma says, “Yes, I miss theatre. Theatre is an actor’s medium. Also while performing a scene one instantly gets a response from the audience. So it’s almost like give and take. However, I think my love for cinema is fast growing. Films have such a vast reach, people can see my work from different parts of the world, who I’ll probably never meet in my whole life. But through films I am able to reach them. So I guess in that sense I’ve become greedier. I want more and more.”
Sidharth’s new passion
Sidharth Malhotra, who has learnt mixed martial arts for his next film Brothers, plans to practice it as a fitness regime even when the film gets over. The young actor has learnt mixed martial arts, which is like a full-contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques.
Sidharth shares, “Mixed martial arts is an intense and fast paced regime which conditions your full body. I have learnt it for my film and want to continue practicing it as my regular fitness regime.” Unlike most stars who resort to steroids to pump themselves up, Sidharth is hell bent on keeping things natural. Adhering strongly to a strict dietary regime, he is banking massively on weight lifting and martial arts to get the chiseled physique desired for the film and he has already put on 8 kilos of muscle weight for the film.
Another year to go
If the latest rumours are anything to go by, Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has been given 2016 as the deadline by his parents to get married. So Katrina Kaif can wait another year. Meanwhile, Ranbir and former flame Deepika Padukone are shooting together in freezing Shimla for Tamasha.
Fixing the two left feet
Imran Khan is not a great dancer but now he has hired a trainer to improve his moves for his upcoming film Katti Batti. He rehearses before shooting the song. We think that’s cool!
Neil Nitin Mukesh has shifted from South Mumbai to the suburbs because that’s where Bollywood happens. He travels by rickshaw everywhere instead of taking his car because it saves time and he finds rickshaw rides fun.
Trouble in paradise?
Actress Angelina Jolie was spotted smoking a cigarette on a hotel balcony reportedly after she and her husband Brad Pitt engaged in a heated argument. According to a weekly magazine, the 39-year-old, who has undergone a double mastectomy as a preventative measure against cancer, was caught with a cigarette in hand, reports a website.
The newly-weds were standing on a terrace of the InterContinental Hotel, as Pitt was seen gesturing with his hands before walking away. According to an eye witness: “When Brad threw up his arms, you could see the frustration on his face. He was clearly exasperated with her. They kept talking over each other and putting their hands up in anger. They were upset but getting nowhere. Angie looked like she was on the verge of tears.”

When awards don’t matter
Kangna Ranaut has stated that she is not interested in picking up any award for her performance in Queen and Revolver Rani. She doesn’t believe in awards and finds them silly. We guess she is going the Aamir Khan way!
Getting to know Tahir Bhasin
Tahir Bhasin, who played the charismatic villain Walt in Mardaani, talks about his journey into the movies, Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra. Something different We knew we were doing something different with Mardaani and that there was going to be a certain amount of shock value to my character. But this level of critical acclaim wasn’t expected. In the wake of so much acclaim, I have signed my second film, which is Kushan Nandy’s (Pritish Nandy’s son) Babumoshai Bandookbaaz alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Chitrangda Singh. Acting bug I have a master’s degree in media from Australia and I was going to do an MBA. Instead, I broke the news to my family that I wanted to be an actor. My parents were shocked and skeptical since we had no connection with films. I moved to Mumbai in 2010 and joined a full-time acting institute. On Shanoo Sharma and Mardaani My dreams took off when I met Shanoo Sharma, the casting head of Yash Raj Films at a social do. I used to carry a bag everywhere I’d go. It had all my photos, a make-up kit and clothes. Just in case I had to give an audition last minute. I pulled out a few photos and showed them to Shanoo. She looked at them and said, ‘Theek hai, I don’t see anything out of the ordinary’. I told her I didn’t have the conventional look, but I could act. I was called for a screen test for a YRF serial, Powder. After a few days Shanoo texted me saying, ‘You were right, you can act’.” Two years later, I was called to audition for Mardaani. The five rounds of auditions of Mardaani were my toughest. After the final screen test they said they would let me know the next day. But I didn’t hear from them so I broke down. Two days later I saw a missed call from Shanoo. When I called her back she said, ‘Why didn’t you answer my call Walt?’ She called me by my character’s name in Mardaani as she broke the good news that I was selected. That day I cried again. On Rani Mukherji I remember saying to myself that I’ve got to be strong enough to intimidate her character on screen. I was in awe when she delivered a two-page scene. I was touched by Rani’s warmth and friendliness. She’d come up to me and say well done even if she wasn’t involved in the scene. The invisible Aditya Chopra I met him before the shoot started where he said that he liked my screen test. Then I met him after the film wrapped up. I asked him what he thought of my work and he said it was a great job.
