Madhur Bhandarkars next directorial venture will be a laugh riot

IKLAN

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is done with films on grim social issues for the time being and says his next directorial venture will be a laugh riot.

"Yes, I’m starting a comedy, though not slapstick like De Dana Dan. It would be more like the comedies of Hrishikesh Mukherjee," Bhandarkar, who is known for making films like Chandni Bar, Satta, Page 3 and Corporate, said.

In January next year, the director will launch five films under his banner Bhandarkar Films.

"Two of these will be directed by me. Three others will be produced by me and directed by newcomers who I think deserve a break," he said.

The director will direct two films, one after the other, in the first few months of 2010. While one of them is a comedy, the other will be hard-hitting on women’s subject.

"I’m not giving up my forte. I’m identified with a certain kind of cinema and I’ll continue to make that kind of cinema. Some people said Jail was too grim. But I’m satisfied with the end product and it won’t lose money for anyone. But first I need to spread some laughter," he said.

On Saturday, Bhandarkar had a special screening of his recently released Jail in the capital for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L K Advani who came with his daughter Pratibha.

"They all loved the film. Pratibha Advani said Jail was my best work to date. After the screening, I asked Advaniji to call up Manoj Bajpai and Neil Nitin Mukesh since he liked their performances so much."

Bhandarkar also met Ben Kingsley at the 40th International Indian Festival Of India in Goa and the Oscar winning director expressed a keenness to watch his films. He has arranged for them on DVD.

Mugdha Godse being raising her fashion in acting

IKLAN

Last year, Mugdha Godse resultezd in eye brows being raised with her noteworthy act in FASHION. As an underdog in the Madhur Bhandarkar directed film, she delivered a performance that was quite a pleasant surprise considering the fact that there were established actors like Priyanka Chopra and Kangna Ranaut around. Now, she is back with JAIL where she get an opportunity by director Madhur Bhandarkar to show her acting talent once again.

Within three weeks of ALL THE BEST, she’s having an altogether different film JAIL coming up. Some shift in mindset here. Says an excited Mugdha, ’Yes, of course. JAIL is completely different from ALL THE BEST or for that matter even FASHION. Here I am playing a girl next door who is coy and living a normal life with a boyfriend on her side.

It’s a completely performance oriented film. In fact for Madhur, it was challenging to show a girl who is ’samaanya’ rather than glamorous, as was the case in FASHION. For me personally though, it was quite exciting since I was working on both ALL THE BEST and JAIL in the same time. I said to myself that ’Chalo, I can now enjoy two different looks’!

So we have yet another female actor joining the ’no make up look’ brigade, ’It’s easy to make loud declarations that you have decided to go without any make up. In normal day to day life it is cool to be stepping out without a make up. However, when it comes to being in front of the camera, regardless of the kind of role you are playing, there is a bit of self consciousness that does come in. Even I went through this phase and used to apply something on my face. However, Madhur promptly used to remove it,’ Mugdha on turning de-glamorous for the film.

Fashion designer Surya Sarkar is still reeling from the shock on being slapped by actress Mugdha Godse’s boyfriend, Mithun . It all started with Surya designing clothes for Mugdha in her forthcoming film, All The Best. Things turned ugly when Mugdha refused to pay Surya.

Surya says, “Arre maine kucch galat nahi kiya hai. I have supplied Mugdha clothes for All The Best but she is refusing to pay me. When I insisted, Mithun came over to my house and slapped me.”

The drama unfolded when Mithun visited Surya’s house to pick up Mugdha’s clothes. Surya says, “Mugdha had said she wanted me to design her costumes for All The Best. When the bill amount kept increasing, I asked her to pay me, which she refused. I told her that she would only get the remaining clothes only when she cleared my dues amounting to Rs 1 lakh. Mithun came to my house and asked me to handover Mugdha’s clothes to him. I demanded my money and that’s when he slapped me.”

“I can’t fathom why Mugdha did this to me. She is a lovely hardworking girl and we have worked together in Jail too. I thought of filing a police complaint, but then decided otherwise.” Despite repeated text messages, Mugdha remained unavailable for comment.
