Raveena

New Delhi, Jan 19 (IANS) Known once as the "Mast Mast" girl of Bollywood, Raveena Tandon has been on a long sabbatical from movies after marriage and motherhood. She now faces the arc lights for Revathy's "Just Aap Ke Liye" and says she will accept films only if the roles suit her age.
"I am very realistic and do a reality check always. So, I want to do something that suits my age because now I cannot see myself doing some silly stuff," Raveena told IANS in an interview.
"I do not want my kids to feel embarrassed. I have to make them proud and that is why I want to do only selected movies," added the National Award winning actress who was in the capital for the inauguration of a kids carnival that started Friday.
She refused to divulge anything about "Just Aap Ke Liye".
Raveena, 34, has joined the bandwagon of actresses like Kajol, Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit, who are full-time moms but don't mind facing the camera if the role is good enough and suits their age.
"Thanks to the changing scene of the film industry, there are no more clichés attached to you being married. Now characters are churned out in such a way that if you fit the bill, you can prove your mettle irrespective of your age and marital status," Raveena said.
"The media too deserves credit for this because they do not allow us to hide and are always interested in knowing about our whereabouts. This helps us in connecting with our fans, who want to see us back on screen," she added.
Raveena bid adieu to filmdom after tying the knot with film distributor Anil Thadani in 2004. She is a proud mother of three-year-old Rasha and one-and-a-half-year-old son Ranbir. She says the two take all her time and running around them keeps her fit and slim.
"I am a full-time mother and the whole day is spent running after my kids. This, in fact, has helped me get rid of my pregnancy fat. They are so active and full of energy that sometimes it gets very difficult to match their energy levels," she said.
"It is a pleasure watching them grow and see their smiles and answer their out-of-the box questions," she added.
Raveena also maintained that being a parent has taught her all those things that her parents used to preach.
"Now I realise the import of what my parents used to tell me when they would say that I will realise the importance of being a parent only when I become one.
"Being a responsible and a good parent is a tough job, but I am sure we will be able to teach them what our parents taught us, and impart all the values that can keep them grounded," she said.
Last year, Raveena was the judge of the TV reality show "Chak De Bachche" on 9X, but right now she is taking it easy.

Rani

New Delhi, Jan 18 (IANS) Bollywood's boy-next-door Shahid Kapoor, who is working on his first film under the Yash Raj banner, is all praise for his co-star in the film, Rani Mukerji.
"I'm excited to be working with Rani. I have seen so many performances of hers and actually felt - 'Now, that's a performance!'. So working with an actor who has done such good work can be a great learning experience," Shahid told IANS in an interview.
The young actor, who has been riding high on his success post hit film "Jab We Met", is delighted by his association with Yashraj, the most sought after banner of the Hindi film industry.
"Only when you work in a Yashraj film, you understand why people want to get associated with the banner," said Shahid. The as-yet-untitled film is under production.
"Their way of functioning is so professional. The kind of respect that is given to you, the way you are treated and the way work is done is just a fabulous experience," he added. He was recently in the capital as the brand ambassador of Pioneer, electronic car audio and home theatre entertainment products.
Starting off his career by working in music videos and advertisements, Shahid made his Bollywood debut as a background dancer in Subhash Ghai's "Taal". After four years, he made his debut as a lead actor in "Ishq Vishk", after which he got associated with films like "Fida", "36 China Town", "Chup Chup Ke", "Vivah" and the highly lauded "Jab We Met", among others.
Born to acclaimed actors Pankaj Kapoor and Neelima Azeem, Shahid says he is "fortunate" that he will soon be directed by his father, something that he always wished.
So is he nervous or excited about the project?
"A little of both. I consider myself very fortunate because I feel my father is the best actor in the industry - not one of the best. And to be directed by an actor who has worked for 30 years is simply great."
"He is stepping down from acting for a few months to direct a film just for me. But I'll make sure that he continues his acting after that, because he is just so good that it's always a learning experience to see him on screen," said Shahid.
The actor's upcoming film "Kaminay", directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, has attracted a lot of attention because of its unusual title and the efforts to keep Shahid's look under wraps. Shahid has said it is the "role of a lifetime" for him.
"I think Vishal is one of the best directors I have worked with. Honestly, he has offered me the role of a lifetime. I feel very lucky that he chose me to do this part. It's a very difficult and challenging part, however, very exciting at the same time and different from what I have done so far in my career," elucidated the actor.
The actor is also doing his second film with director Ken Ghosh.
In spite of being one of the best dancers in Hindi filmdom, Shahid was extremely nervous before learning a new dance form called Krumping for Ghosh's film "Yahoo".
He said: "I am a huge fan of Justin Timberlake. I remember the first day of rehearsals with Justin's choreographer Marty, suddenly I started getting sweaty hands and became nervous."
"I was feeling that it's very nice to see the videos of people and say that we too can dance like them. But when you actually get down to do that, it does make you feel a little nervous," said Shahid.

Mumbai, Jan 20 (IANS) Now that Shyam Benegal has decided to revive his costliest project "Chamki", a desi version of French musician Georges Bizet's 1875 opera "Carmen", the question is who will play the title role of a free-spirited fiery-tempered gypsy in the movie?
According to sources, Priyanka Chopra more than Kareena Kapoor is the natural choice to play Chamki since the role requires a trained dancer.
When contacted, Priyanka told IANS that she was open to the offer. "But I read the script ages ago. The whole project now has to be evaluated afresh. And who wouldn't want to work with Shyam Benegal?"
"Chamki" has been pending for a while. Earlier, the project was with Sanjay Gupta. Now, Big Pictures is producing the film.
In the past too, both Priyanka and Kareena were approached for "Chamki", but they opted out for various reasons.
"Kareena was excited to begin with. She was supremely charged by the role and what Benegal had done with her sister Karisma in 'Zubeidaa'. But then she opted out - as she often does from offbeat challenges like Deepa Mehta's 'Water' and Rituparno Ghosh's 'Raincoat' - pleading it was too early for her to attempt something so unconventional," said a source close to the project.
"Then came Priyanka who was quite kicked about the part, but she and the film's then producer Sanjay Gupta had a fallout after Priyanka said no to his 'Musafir'. The 'Chamki' role then went to Urmila Matondkar, who had monetary issues with the producer."
With the film changing producers, it is understood that money is no longer an issue.
While Priyanka is still interested in the project, Kareena's views were not yet known.
"Kareena continues to have reservations about non-mainstream cinema. Barring Pritish Nandy Communications' 'Chameli', she has never returned to non-mainstream cinema," said the source.
'Chamki', set in Rajasthan, is being re-designed as a big broad epic musical with choreography and lavish songs by Javed Akhtar and A.R. Rahman.
