Remita: Amitabh Bachchan on being honoured by BAFTA By Subhash K. Jha, June 27, 2007 - 05:38 IST How was the BAFTA experience? Another unique honour for you... I feel very deeply humbled and honoured. My recognition is really an acknowledgement of the Indian film industry , and indeed India. It feels wonderful to see so much attention being given to our country. There was a retrospective of my films and some documentaries about me made by prominent people. I had to interact with the public over two evenings. British and Indian speakers spoke of my contribution and then I was asked up on stage for Q&A .Clips of my work were shown as a reference alongside on the screen. Good intelligent interaction with the public. The Chairman of BAFTA ended the event by announcing me as an honorary life -time member of BAFTA. I felt really proud to be a small part of the Indian Film fraternity, receiving this distinction. Plans for the world concert featuring you with Abhishek and Aishwarya have been finalized? Yes. We hope to be in action next year around April and cover many countries. The tour is called The Unforgettable .It'll be exciting to accompany such a young and energetic group of youngsters. The joy of having Abhishek and Aishwarya along is the added excitement. The tour is expected to take us to all important countries in the world as well as internally in India too. Some additions to the cast are in planning and soon should be finalized. I feel a lot of nostalgia and anxiety within me as I take this on after several years. Would you like to do a project where all four of you feature together? You mean Jaya, Abhishek, Aishwarya and myself ? Yes we would welcome a project that involves all of us actively. We hear a lot of talk amongst makers for such projects. You've just returned from this trip to England covering IIFA, Leeds, London . How has it been for you? It’s been wonderful. The family has been together. IIFA has been the best and the biggest Bollywood event since inception. It is such a joy for me to see the entire industry together in one place, entertaining, working and interacting with each other. The love and enthusiasm of the Yorkshire people, the respect and dignity with which they treated us was all so memorable. http://www.indiafm.com/features/2007/06/27/2800/index.html

The latest is, a private screening of the blockbuster hit was organized for Amitabh Bachchan and his family on Tuesday night [26th June] at Zee preview theatre, Andheri. http://www.indiafm.com/news/2007/06/27/9647/index.html Вот интересно было бы посмотреть их реакцию на этот кинчик!

wichy: Еще одно интервью с Баччаном. Старый разошелся. Переводить не буду - и не уговаривайте меня... - а то я скоро цитатами из его интервью разговаривать начну... отсюда In a freewheeling conversation with Indrajit Hazra, Amitabh Bachchan talks about the media, his views on being described as a ‘propagator of superstition’, Amar Singh, his advice to his son and cracks a Jewish joke. The last six months have been interesting times for you — your career as an actor is in the spotlight again, your son got married, and there were cases filed against you in the courts. How has it been for you in the last half year? What I’ve been realising over the past two days I’ve been talking to the media is that a lot of things that we felt were trivial have been actually taken up quite seriously [by the media]. You didn’t expect that? Obviously not. Because we thought that some of them were laughable. For instance, the whole manglik thing [about Aishwarya marrying Abhishek would bring a curse into the family]. And because it was so ridiculous, we never paid attention. But when you heard about it, didn’t you immediately want to scotch such talk? You know, if I was to sit down and try and scotch everything that comes out in the newspapers I wouldn’t have the time for anything else. So how did this sort of thing come about? I have not seen Aishwarya’s horoscope. Neither has she. Two people have decided to get married. That’s all that matters…I think it all began with the electronic media suddenly airing…. no, it actually began earlier with the association, or the media’s attention on the association between Abhishek and Aishwarya and the speculation of some kind of union. And what happened subsequently were perceptions, speculations that were astrological in nature. Then one day we saw some astrologer coming on television saying that this is her [Aishwarya’s] horoscope, its not right, so on and so forth. Then you had shots of my brother [Ajitabh] being interviewed saying that he didn’t know anything about this. The accusation was that my brother took Aishwarya’s horoscope and this is what the astrologer said. Even I haven’t seen Aishwarya’s horoscope till today. Neither has she. Two people have decided to get married. That’s all that matters to me. My son called me from New York - he and Aishwarya had gone for the premiere of Guru. “I’ve proposed to her and she has said yes,” he said. I said, “Come home”. We still don’t know what this manglik is. You don’t think this is part of the larger political campaign against you? The court cases involving farmland and tax evasion? The government has more important things to do than to hound me. Everyone of us has the law to deal with. These things come up in a routine fashion. And if I may say so, sir, it [the manglik business] still hasn’t stopped. And that’s very tragic. That even after she has become the wife of my son, they are still saying she’s this and she’s that. I believe she’s a blessing to the family. We will not tolerate any of this nonsense. Do you regret iconhood and the downsides that seem to come with it? I’ve never believed in these epithets. I don’t want to believe in it. These are in the minds of the media and some people. Please explain to me what being an icon is. How do you define it? I haven’t been given a script. I don’t know what the dialogues of an icon are. How do you respond to charges that you’re superstitious and by being in your position you end up encouraging superstition for millions? My son called me from New York: “I’ve proposed to her.” I said, “Come home”.I’m just practising a very normal human practice of going to the temple. But the insinuation is that they [the Bachchans] are going to the temple to get the manglik removed. This is rubbish. Four instances, I’ll tell you. The first one was when we went to Benares. It was the 27th of November, my father’s birth anniversary. When my father passed away [in 2003], the Government of India issued a stamp in his honour the next year. The stamp was released by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Atalji and my father had been very close associates. He came to inaugurate the function and in his speech he said that he wanted every year on the 27th of November to be celebrated with a Kavi Sammelan in Lucknow. For the past year, my mother has been critically ill. She has been hospitalised with Alzheimer’s and dementia. We have traditionally always celebrated Holi and Diwali as festivals opening our house to everyone. We did not celebrate last year because we felt that this celebration would be insensitive. When my father’s birthday came up last year, we all felt that it would be improper to have the celebrations. Jaya was shooting in Benares… Laga Chunari Mein Daag, I was in Bombay, Abhishek was shooting in Delhi. Aishwarya happened to have been passing through Delhi, they were seeing each other. Jaya said, “Look, it would be nice if all of us could come and pray in the Sankatmochan Temple in Benares. Its dad’s birthday, the whole family will get together.” That’s all that it was. The whole thing just repeatedly came coming that they’ve gone there to get rid of the manglik curse. Then they got engaged in the early part of January. 24th January was Amar Singhji’s birthday. We went to Vidyanchal. It’s a temple that he believes in. He wanted to marry off 50 underprivileged couples. He said that he spends a lot of money throwing parties in Delhi …rather give it to charity. It’s a temple where his children had their mundan. So we all went there. That’s all we did. Then the whole thing was put up ‘Oh he’s going to Siddhivinayak Temple to pray.’ I’ve been there many times. Siddhivinayak, every Tuesday, has a very fine aarti and people walk on Monday night at midnight from all parts of the city. I’ve done that many times. But now it’s being insinuated that I went there for the manglik thing. The notion that you propagate superstition by repeatedly going to temples has been doing the rounds. I ask you, as a citizen, is it a crime to go to the temple? And if I am propagating superstition by going to the temple, then the whole country is propagating superstition. And what about the TV channels and the media? Please stop those TV [religion and faith] channels immediately! What about the print media? Don’t you print horoscopes? Some people quoted works of my father and said his father was a staunch agnostic, he never believed in all this, how come his son is propagating superstition. My father was nothing like that. He is not alive to defend himself. I think it’s unethical for people to refer to him in this manner. Do you miss the time when there was a clear division between Amitabh Bachchan on the screen and Amitabh Bachchan in his private life? When did you think it started? Once you associated yourself with politics and politicians? I’m not in politics. I left it years and years ago. I’ve accepted that I was a failure in politics. I was not qualified for the job… You did win by a landslide in 1984 against a stalwart like Bahuguna. Then you quit in 1987. Why did you join politics in the first place? It was an emotional decision. Mrs Gandhi had been assassinated; we all felt very close to Rajiv and felt that we should stand behind him. He asked me to fight an election. Fortunately or unfortunately, I faced a huge adversary and won. I ended up in Parliament and soon discovered that emotion really doesn’t have any place in politics. It’s a much more intricate and complicated game and I just didn’t know how to play it. Neither was I interested. Almost at the same time there were allegations against me and my family - the Bofors issue. I decided I would resign… a lot of people advised me not to resign, to stick there and fight it. But I thought, no, my conscience and my morality did not allow me to do that. I resigned, I fought against allegations in five countries, won and, well, the truth is before us now - who is involved and who isn’t. If you’ve done something right, nobody will touch you. If you’ve done something wrong, nobody will save you. Do you regret getting into politics then? No, I don’t regret it. There were very valuable moments. I decidedly wanted to work hard and do something for the people of my country. The only regret that I have is that I was not able to fulfill the promises that I had made to my constituency, to Allahabad. In 2018, your son will be the age you were when you started your stint in politics. What will your fatherly advice be to him if he does decide to… I…strongly advise him even now that he must not. I’ve advised every member of my family… But your wife… Jaya’s a member of the Rajya Sabha, but that’s…that’s not politics. She just enjoys the fact that she sits there…she’s almost like a little girl in school, goes through questions and then answers. But you are very close to some politicians. Do you detect some media hostility towards your closeness to Amar Singh? I don’t see why there should be. If I have chosen Amar Singhji as my friend, it’s got nothing to do with politics. How did you and Amar Singh meet? How do you meet a friend? I’m just trying to… No, I want to ask you. Because whatever you would say would apply to me. What makes you come close to someone and have him as a friend? You enjoy his company. You feel that when you talk or he talks, you understand each other. And you feel that he is somebody who will stand by you when you’re in some kind of trouble, or stand by you and be happy with you in moments of joy. That’s what Amar Singh is. We’re great friends. But because of his… being a politician, everyone is assuming that there is more to it than that. But can you name me anything that he may have done for me, or that I have been a recipient of any kind of political largesse? Has this family been the recipient of any kind of political largesse? My father was a Rs 500 lecturer in Allahabad University when he came to know Jawaharlal Nehru. He was an Officer on Special Duty in the Hindi section, because he was called by Panditji to head that department. When Mrs Gandhi was the Prime Minister, I joined the film industry. I worked on my own. When Rajivji was Prime Minister, I was doing my own thing. And we’re still doing the same. What about the theories that do the round about your friendship with Amar Singh? Name me a theory. That he came to your help when you needed help after the collapse of ABCL. In what way? Not a single financial input came, nor has there been a presumed financial input from either Mr Anil Ambani or Mr Subroto Roy. I had huge outstandings, creditors at my door and everyone advised me that this is business, if you go you should declare bankruptcy, pack your bags, enjoy your life, go home. But I felt that that was not what my conscience was telling me to do. I just felt that if there were a company that bears my father’s name, it would be my moral duty to pay back everyone. I worked, and I worked hard and I paid back everyone. And I’m happy that my company has got back in black. That’s about it. But yes, there were friends who just came and stood by me. When somebody holds your hand in an hour of trouble [shows an embrace], that’s it, that’s all that you do. That’s just a gesture, showing your solidarity, your strength, almost your abstract physical strength to that person. And Amar Singh is that person for you? I believe that Amar Singhji is that man. I believe that he’s a more practical person than I am. I believe I lack that practicality because I’m in the creative world. I’m not aware of the intricacies of the system or the law or all these things. I used to get managed by my brother. He left to settle down abroad and there was a vacuum, a gap and…I knew him [Amar Singh] much before he became what he is. You say you haven’t gone into politics since the 1980s. What about in UP? Jaya’s a Rajya Sabha member, but that’s not politics. She just enjoys sitting there.The UP Development Council was formed by the UP government headed by Amar Singhji under the patronage of the Chief Minister [Mulayam Singh Yadav] - not a government organisation, but almost a quasi-…where several dignitaries were invited to come and join as advisors… well, not advisors but people who give suggestions. Anil Ambani, Adi Godrej, Kumar Mangalam Birla, Subroto Roy…all these people were on our board…board meaning panel. We sat through several meetings. We discussed how and what we can do to bring in investment into Uttar Pradesh and to see it together. We had marvellous meetings. We had people coming in from overseas, with concepts and ideas, a lot of them actually executed. How do you propagate what is happening in Uttar Pradesh? How do you invite investors into the state? That was the next question and they felt that I could be made brand ambassador, either through my contacts, my deliberations. I was doing brand ambassadorship for Cadbury’s and all kinds of other things. Why not for my own state? I was born and brought up there. Seven generations of my family have lived and died there. So these were campaigns that we did. What have I talked of in Uttar Pradesh? I have talked…glorified the state; I’ve said that if I’m ever born again I would like to be born there. Then a huge hue and cry was raised about crime in the state. What did I come and say? I’m quoting from a Central report - not a UP state report - it’s a Central Home Ministry report which states that UP is 26th or 27th in the line-up of ‘crime states’…the degree of crime. I have not said that jurm idhar nahi hai [there is no crime]; mein keh raha hun ki Uttar Pradesh mein anya rajyon se jurm kam hai [I am saying it is less than in other states].’ But surely that’s being very technical and the timing was rather bad with Nithari and… Nithari? What is Nithari? I believe it’s a social ailment. You have a man-eater, or whatever… alleged man-eater. There’s something wrong with society. What’s happening in Chhattisgarh? Every day we read someone getting raped, someone getting stabbed… But if you’re deliberately going to go after some person or some area… So we have refocused the attention [through the UP Development Council promo] and have succeeded in destroying that image. With the change in government in UP, do you expect a witch hunt against the friends of the previous government?I am a nobody, just another citizen of this country. I don’t think so. If you’ve done something right, nobody will be able to touch you. If you’ve done something wrong, nobody will be able to save you. And the court cases related to farmlands in UP and Maharashtra and the charge that you’re evading tax? These are sub judice matters. I won’t be able to comment on them now. As for a campaign against me, I am a nobody, just another citizen of this country. Surely a little more than just another citizen? No, I sincerely believe that. You’ve fared crises before - your injury during the shooting of Coolie, after leaving the Congress during Bofors, the failure of ABCL, now these court cases. You seem to always bounce back. You know, I’m always reminded of this famous Jewish joke. A Jewish man died and went up to the gates of heaven and asked God, “Lord, is it true that we are the chosen people?” And God said, “Yes, my son, you are.” The man replied, “You mind choosing somebody else for a change?” I don’t know. This is destined for me. I hope that I have the strength and the ability to overcome it. You can’t always be successful. Who knows? I may fail. We’re all human. We have human failures. But I would like to say in all these matters that I have great respect for the judiciary in this country and the judicial system. And I will follow it. I will also do two more things: I will follow my conscience, and I will follow what is morally right.

Soniya: отседа Big B shoots for Sivaji IndiaGlitz [Friday, November 03, 2006] It is happening time for the Sivaji team. Now we are talking about Shankar himself putting in an appearance. The happiness stems from the fact that the Big B (Amitabh Bachchan) himself has shot for a couple of scenes in the film. Sources close to the film’s shoot have confirmed that the scenes involving Bachchan were indeed shot in Pune. Sivaji’s shoot featuring Rajini are now being shot in Pune. A song with Nayantra was shot there recently. With Amitabh Bachchan very busy, the team decided to shoot the scenes involving him there itself. Though this is only a token appearance, Amitabh Bachchan’s presence will add value to the movie. This is also the first time that he is acting in a Tamil movie. Amitabh Bachchan and Rajini share a special rapport. Rajini has acted in several successful Tamil remakes of Amitabh Bachchan hits of the 80s. Amitabh Bachchan also acted with Rajini in Hindi movies like Giraftaar and Hum. и еще про Шиваджи, раз уж мы тут о нем - Aishwarya Rai, Ayesha Takia and Rani Mukherjee were considered initially for the role of heoroine but finally Shriya had gracefully accepted the role. убицца веником

wichy: Soniya : Aishwarya Rai Ааааа!!! Представляю Ашку героиней с этим толстым усатым дядькой пошлого вида и преклонных лет... Видимо, это тока в их мечтах все они были его героинями

Lo: Так он в песне должен был мелькать? (блин, не видела в упор, и все.. хотя экранка , как всегда.. значит какие-то сцены отсутствуют) надо глянуть отзывы индийцев на Шиваджи.. Если Амит там был - должны упомянуть.

Soniya: wichy : Представляю Ашку героиней с этим толстым усатым дядькой ты бы видела как эта героиня неистово виляла бедрами на девятой минуте, ты бы так уже не смеялась

wichy: Soniya : ты бы видела как эта героиня неистово виляла бедрами на девятой минуте, Именно после этой минуты ты и выключила фильму?

Soniya: wichy : Именно после этой минуты ты и выключила фильму? да. вскоре. у меня в боку колоть начало от ее телодвижений, а потом еще толстопузы побежали по экрану вряд... это уже было выше всяческих моих дамских сил.

Remita: Lo : Так он в песне должен был мелькать? (блин, не видела в упор, и все.. Оно и неудивительно - Раджникант затмил Амитабха!

wichy: Интервью Амита, данное CNN CNN: Right now, it's an exciting time for Bollywood. Amitabh Bachchan: Yes, I think it is. It's a great progression from where we were a few years ago, where even though we were the highest-making film nation in the world, we were looked upon with a certain amount of criticism and skepticism about our content and the way we make our films. Gradually, over the years, people have come to expect and accept that this is how we make the films, and it's all turning out to be profitable and exciting with viewers all over the world. CNN: Why do you think people had been so skeptical? Bachchan: Well, they felt that the content wasn't exciting enough, they couldn't understand the song and dance routine, they didn't like the very cliched stories or formulaic storylines, but that's the way we are. We must have song and dance in our lives; we've had it ever since the inception of cinema in India. Our stories are very social-based, very human-based. We are a very emotional nation. All our culture and tradition of over 5,000 years has come through a lot of heat and fire and eventually come out on top. That's how it is, and that's how it's going to remain. CNN: Is Bollywood escapism for the Indian people? Bachchan: You have to see it in a larger perspective. There are large numbers of people in India below the poverty line, there are large numbers of people who lead a meager existence. They want to find a little escape from the hardships of life, and come and watch something colorful and exciting and musical. Indian cinema provides that. So yes, the content of our television and our cinema is escapist in nature because we are there to provide entertainment. The select group of people who do make realistic cinema, who do make cinema perhaps a little more acceptable to the Western audience, is a very small percentage. CNN: What are the main differences between a Hollywood and a Bollywood actor? Bachchan: Conceptually we are both the same. We are all human beings, we are actors, we are put in different situations and conditions and we act. Perhaps the content of the Indian cinema is a lot more varied and diverse as compared to the ones the Hollywood actors get associated with. They more or less have a very single track presence, so to say. Indian actors, because of the format of our stories, need to be good actors, and be able to perform emotional sequences, do a bit of comedy, dance and singing, action, because all of this forms just one film. In many ways I'd say there are greater demands on Indian actors than there are on Hollywood. CNN: So do you think Hollywood actors could learn from the Bollywood actors? Bachchan: I don't know that we are worthy enough for learning something from us, but I do know that actors in India are very capable, very talented, and can be compared to the best anywhere in the world. CNN: What makes you the best actor in India? Bachchan: I don't use any techniques; I'm not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films. It's more instinctive rather than anything else. I don't do the calculated rehearsed kind of approach, and I hope that I can continue that because I believe that instinct is much stronger and greater when you are performing on camera. CNN: Tell us about the upcoming remake of "Sholay." Bachchan: "Sholay" is an extraordinary film. It's the highest-grossing film and it had a great impact on our society. Obviously remaking it is a huge task. We are purely using the inspiration of the film. I am playing the baddie in the film, as opposed to one of the leading men in the original. It's a great challenge for any actor to do something different in a film. I will obviously not be playing the leading man, but it's exciting. At my age you don't get to run after the girl and win them over and fight the baddie, but I'm happy that I'm doing the negative role in this film and I'm enjoying it! CNN: Tell us about "Sarkar 2" -- it's becoming a bit of a family affair! Bachchan: It's a very powerful film, it takes influences from the Godfather. It's not exactly a remake, but it took inspiration from the Godfather and put it in "Sarkar." We are now doing "Sarkar 2," which is going to have Abhishek, my son, and his wife to be, so I think it will be wonderful for the three of us to work together again. Sarkar 2 will be a much larger film, larger in concept, larger in visuals. It promises to be very exciting. CNN: Is it nice to work with your family? Bachchan: The entire filming industry in India is one big family. We all feel that way whenever we make a film: it's a very homely feeling; we all live together, eat together, move around together. It's a wonderful feeling. I don't know how Hollywood behaves, but this is how we behave, and yes, when you have members of the family working with you it makes it all the more exciting. CNN: What's next for you? Bachchan: I think that it's important that actors keep getting challenged every day. For every creative person it's a terrible moment when they say they have done all they want to do. I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people. I'd like to believe that tomorrow is another challenge for me. I'm sure there is lots more for me to do, because there is lots and lots of stuff still to be explored.

wichy: Еще одно интервью с Амитабхом. По-моему, есть некий перебор с количеством интервью за последнее время. Не есть хороший PR-ход. Amitabh Bachchan gets emotional. In a conversation with Ram Kamal Mukherjee, he talks about his mother, his inability to help her and the act of balancing joy and sorrow When was the last time you were nervous and didn’t know what to do? Recently, during Abhishek’s wedding. My mother has been unwell for many months now. She can talk, hear, see, move or eat. She is having her daily meal through an artificial pipe which has been inserted from her stomach. I see my mother and feel helpless. She is the most beautiful woman on earth and can only understand what I speak. (Becomes emotional) The next moment I come back to Jalsa and I dance because it’s my son’s wedding. I have to switch on and off in real life too. It’s very difficult. I can’t stop my son from celebrating because my mother is serious. I become nervous, when it comes to balancing such incidents in life. Have you ever lost your temper with Jaya, Abhishek, Shweta and now Ash? I don’t lose my temper. I get worried when Jaya, Abhishek or Shweta fall ill. I might ask them to be careful about their health… but I wouldn’t call it anger. Are you the attention seeker in your family? No, I don’t think so. But Jaya said you were, on Koffee With Karan? You are getting it wrong, she must have joked. Have you ever tried to cook and impress Jaya? Even if I want to impress Jaya, I would never try to cook. I can hardly boil water. Would you be able to handle it if no one gave you a second look when you are walking down a street? Oh, that happens often, nowadays. What? Yes, people don’t look at me. And I am very chilled out about it. You mean to say people don’t look back at Amitabh Bachchan? Oh, come on, that’s just another name. Have you ever travelled in a local train? Oh yes, when I came to Mumbai that used to be my mode of communication. But I haven’t done it since becoming a film star, barring a few instances for shooting purposes. Any idea how much a rickshaw ride would cost from Juhu to Bandra? Rs 150? What’s your monthly income? You will have to sit with my CA. He will give you the exact amount. Do you count your money everyday? Yes, I do. I keep a check on my bank account everyday. Do you fit inside a taxi comfortably? You mean to say, do my legs give trouble? Oh no, I manage it fairly well. (Laughs) When was the last time you ate fast food at Juhu beach? Not at Juhu beach, but there is a fast food center near Haji Ali. A few weeks ago, while I was coming back from Haji Ali, I stopped my car and had bhel. Did you get mobbed? No. Why? Do you like to meet strangers? I meet them everyday. It’s interesting. They stand outside my house with petitions and requests. Some are nice, some are really weird. I listen to all of them. Do you have an account in Orkut? What’s that? Do you answer emails? Yes, I do. Are you in touch with your school friends? Yes, very much. In fact next year we’re celebrating a re-union of the 1958 batch. All my friends from Sherwood College in Nainital will come. I am looking forward to it. It will be a lot of fun for all of us. Did you ever bunk school or college? School was a bit difficult, because it was a boarding school. But in college, I bunked so many classes. We would stand beside the swimming pool and watch girls — the typical boyish things you do. Do you miss being a normal grandpa to Navya Naveli, attending school functions and walking in the garden with her? Sorry to inform you that I am very much a normal grandpa. I do walk with her in my garden, and attend her school functions and grandparents’ meeting. I used to do it for Abhishek and Shweta also. When was the last time you connected with nature? Everyday. I take a walk in my lawn at Prateeksha. I also like the Himalayas, Shimla and various other locales in India. What’s the last book you read? I have become a bit lazy. The last book I started reading was Shantaram, because Mira (Nair) wanted me to read the book. But I found the book too tedious and have now decided to read the screenplay. I buy lots of books but hardly finish them. I read a few chapters and then keep them aside. Does this white beard help cover wrinkles? I don’t know that but I keep it because I like it. But I shaved it for Khakee. I am an actor and I need to keep changing my look. Does your body ache each time you do a dance act or stage show? Oh yes, it does. Why just dance shows, it aches everyday when I wake up from my bed. Why did you play an extra in JBJ? Shaad wanted me to be in the song. If that has disappointed my fans, I will be careful next time. Are you jealous of other actors? No, why should I be jealous of others? Are you very conscious of Brand Bachchan? Now what’s that? I have been reading a lot about it in media, but I don’t think any such brand exists. Are you the richest farmer in India? Oh! That’s subjudice so I would not talk about it. But I promise that I will give an apt reply very soon. Will you call SRK for dinner? Yes, I can call him right now… (And he dials SRK!) If everything is fine between you two, then why didn’t you attend Zee Awards and why did he avoid IIFA? There is no war. I called him personally for IIFA this year, but he was holidaying with his family in London. During the Zee Awards, none of my family members were in town, and I had to stay back because of my mother. We have made it a point that someone from the family will always be in town. This recent avatar of yours is a bit shocking. You have become over protective about Abhi-Ash and clearing all sorts of confusion in media. Why? I had no option. How much can a person take? Now they are married and happy, why can’t the media leave them alone? I am appalled with the stories printed. How can someone call Ash ‘panvati’, ‘mangalik’ and accuse her of bringing evil to our family? Is this how educated people speak? So you have become a Lion King? I am just another father. I need to protect my children. I had to speak, because I think there was a lack of communication. Did you ask Ash to wear Indian outfits whenever she is with you and Jaya? Never! She is free to wear whatever she is wearing. We don’t have any protocol. Did Ash cook anything for you after the wedding? Yes she did. We have a Bengali custom in our family. On the first day after marriage, the bahu enters the kitchen and cooks some delicacy for her father-in-law. Ash made yummy halwa for all of us. Why did Jaya take off on Vivek Oberoi in Koffee With Karan? I think you got her wrong. Jaya mentioned Vivek’s name when Karan asked who she feels that ‘a man on a mission’, because she is very fond of Vivek. The biggest goof up in your career? I don’t make any goof-ups, and I always stand by my mistakes. Do you read film magazines and gossips? Yes, I love reading them, and my interest begins and ends there. Rekha talks about you in all her interviews, but you’ve never acknowledged her in any of yours? Oh, no one asked me about her. I think Rekha is a fantastic co-actor and she came from south, had no idea about the language. She groomed herself brilliantly and we have worked in some of the most remarkable films. I have high regard for her. So, will you act with Rekha? Why not? I would love to act with Rekha once again, provided we get a really good script. You mean to say, till date, no one’s wanted to make a film with you and Rekha? Yes, there have been a couple of offers, but none of them were worth it. Are you in touch with Rekha? What do you mean? I don’t call her every now and then. When we meet at social gathering we acknowledge each other. I don’t think so. A year ago at the Sarkar premiere, Rekha looked through you and went up to Abhishek. The photographs were flashed all over and I am sure you must have seen them? Yes, I did see them. Well, you can do a lot of fun stuff with photographs. There is this famous joke about the Pope, that when the Pope came to the Vatican and someone asked, will you be going to a discotheque, and Pope asked, ‘Is there a discotheque in Vatican?’ The next day media reported Pope says, ‘Is there a discotheque in Vatican?’ Now that’s how you can play with words and pictures. Rekha is very fond of Abhishek and so is Abhishek. There is no story in between. Will you allow Abhishek to act with her in future? He is free to work with anyone. Do you feel awkward when the electronic media shows your reaction whenever Rekha is on stage and vice versa? There is nothing to feel awkward about, she is an actor and I am part of this industry. If electronic media is taking our reaction, then that’s nothing but obvious. Did anyone from the Gandhi family call to wish you after the Abhi-Ash wedding? That’s very personal and I would not like to comment on that issue. Did it upset you that Raj Babbar invited everyone except you for his daughter’s wedding? I don’t know whether he has invited me or not. If he decides not to invite me for his daughter’s wedding, that’s his wish. My best wishes for his daughter. Why are you always politically correct? What are you scared of? I am not politically correct at all, and I am not scared of anyone except God. Do you know who your enemies are? I don’t have enemies, at least I would like to believe that! Are you irritated with irresponsible journalism? I think journalists can’t be irresponsible, and if someone is irresponsible then the person can’t be a journalist. Would you be able to write a regular column in a daily newspaper? I think once in a fortnight I might write a column, but not on a regular basis. I think I am not that much clued about what’s happening around me. Will you ever retire? People will make me retire. When they get bored with my face and refuse to see me on screen, I will have to retire.

4837464: Lo : Так он в песне должен был мелькать? я фигею в этом зоопарке... Амитабх на подтанцовках у Раджниканта? хренасе, айтем бой...

wichy: 4837464 : Амитабх на подтанцовках у Раджниканта? Ага, особенно если себе представить его по пояс голого и с нарисованной рожей Раджниканта на пузике,.. "Мир сошел с ума...."

wichy: Да... вы угадали. Еще одно интервью Амита. На этот раз поинтереснее: отсюда Why are you reacting as if the country is putting too much pressure on you? I’m just an actor. I believe in the power of the government. I’m a small person. If there are laws, certain technicalities — whether it’s income tax or whatever — where I may have erred, I will attend to it. I will follow the law, but I’ll do it with my conscience. I will follow the law of the land, I will follow my conscience I will follow what I think is morally right. In Bofors the same thing happened. They accused me and my family. Today, it is known that we were nowhere near that controversy. We know who the people instigating this were, but that’s not the point. But it did scuttle your political ambitions… Frankly, I’d failed as a politician. I didn’t understand it. People told me you are doing the wrong thing, you should stay in there and fight it out. I declined. Allegations had been levelled against me, I had to step back. The case tested the law in five different countries and I was proved innocent. But I was finished with politics. Despite that, you are seen cavorting with politicians. For instance, as brand ambassador of UP. A lot of people feel you have done nothing for Mumbai which gave you so much… Uttar Pradesh is the state I was born in. The UP Development Corporation asked me to join a panel to invite investment. This panel included people like Anil Ambani , Adi Godrej, Kumarmangalam Birla, Subroto Roy and others. The idea was to effect change. The UP government said we want to propagate the state, have a face and a voice to be able to do that. There’s this guy, they thought, who endorses so many products so why not the state of his birth? So they made me a brand ambassador. There was a spate of media reports on how UP was full of crime. The government disputed this, saying UP ranked 36, not sixth. They brought the central home ministry reports to disprove these media, so I did two films placing these facts before the public. I didn’t say “Yahaan jurm nahin hain’’, I said, “doosre states ke muqable mein yahaan jurm kam hain.” What’s wrong in that? Regarding Mumbai, Maharashtra or the rest of the country, where haven’t we given our support? Every time there has been a famine, a flood, a riot, the film industry is the first to speak up. Who walked from Juhu all the way to Mohammed Ali Road when the last big riots took place? Who did a show for Tsunami? We work for the blind and the handicapped children. There is an institute next to my house, where Jaya is involved, there is one at Haji Ali where we look after these children. What is this accusation that we don’t do anything for Mumbai? Yes, I do have friends in politics. I cannot help it if I am a friend of Balasaheb, Amar singh, LK Advani or Atalji. You seem to be still hurting with some kind of persecution complex… At the time when ABCL went down, we had 54 cases against us. We had hundreds of creditors. They used to walk into my bedroom, abuse me, humiliate me. Everybody from businessmen, friends and relatives advised that I should declare bankruptcy, get on with my life. The biggest businessmen do this, they said. I said no. If I have a debt to repay, I must. I worked hard to repay every single penny I owed. I have walked to people’s houses and said my company owes you money, you are not aware of this, but here it is. I am the only person who’s walked into the Doordarshan office and said I still owe you money, here take the cheque. It ran into crores. They never asked me for it. They have not asked many other people I know who owe them money, and they are all from Mumbai, the film industry. I don’t want to talk about them, it’s not my business. Yeh bhi lijiye, that is the way I have been brought up. I don’t believe there is any persecution. If I’m going to do something right, nobody will be able to touch me. If I’m going to do something wrong, nobody will be able to save me. We hear the film industry is divided into camps now — the Bachchan camp, the Shah Rukh Khan camp etc… This is a totally false perception. Kitni baar bolte hain ki kuch bhi problem nahin hain, but once the media has an impression, it is very difficult to battle it. Shah Rukh and I were in London together recently and decided behtar hai chup hi rahe. Now people are comparing Rajnikanth with Amitabh Bachchan, that he’s bigger than Amitabh. I know that he’s bigger. You have no idea what a phenomenon he is. He just has to raise a finger and poora Tamil Nadu khada ho jayega. He is remarkable man. He started off as a bus conductor, and they are all still his friends, those who he worked with. Tooti phooti Fiat me jaata hai… his first car even now he travels in that. There was a letter recently in a newspaper which said, "Why are you comparing these two… why do you always want to divide…why can’t we be proud of the fact that there are two such individuals?" That is the point I want to make.The Indian film industry is the only nationally integrated institution left in this country. Inside a theatre, nobody asks whether the person sitting next to him is a Hindu, Muslim or a Christian. We laugh at the same jokes, cry at the same emotions, sing the same songs. Tell me one other institution that propagates this? You’ve been the angry young man, action-tragic-comic hero, and now a character actor with all these dimensions. Which do you identify most with? I am lucky that I got to be a hero and am fortunate that even at the age of 65 I get interesting and important roles. I am happy to do any role, actually. I must of course thank Salim-Javed for making me a star. They wrote some of the most powerful scripts for Hindi films – Deewar I rate as the best ever in Hindi cinema — and helped create a persona that connected with the masses. It’s sad that they had to break up. Salim-Javed reflected the mood of the people of that time. They talked of a systems failure in many aspects of life, and the frustration and anger emerging from this. Main toh bus stop me khada tha, bus aagayin usme chad gaya. It could have been anybody playing those roles, I was fortunate it was me. Hrishida was a very sensitive film maker, and middle of the road. He made some wonderful films like Anand, Namak Haram, Mili. Manmohan Desai was remarkable too. He strongly believed in what he did, whether anybody else did or not. Look at Amar Akbar Anthony, the scene where three people are donating blood to their mother. It would be the height of absurdity, but nobody ever objected to it. Ramesh Sippy was a whizkid who put cinema into a new era, and Ram Gopal Varma is an amazing personality too. He used to run a video parlour before making a film, and had never seen any great works. Balki who did Cheeni Kum was an ad guy who had never done a film earlier. And the younger generation with Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Shaad Ali... How have films and directors changed in the last four decades? Now the pace is much faster. Our attention span is much smaller and the film maker has to appeal to that. No visual lasts more than 30 seconds, and that’s a revelation for me. I remember shooting for Mohabbatein when Aditya Chopra walked up to me and said, “Fantastic shot, par do minute kam kar sakte hai aap”. As opposed to a Hrishikesh Mukherjee who would say don’t rush your lines, feel them before delivering. I am 65 today and the average age on the sets is 22, so I have to make big adjustments. But the youngsters are very ambitious and very aggressive. They have a lot of confidence. Hamare mein toh aaj tak confidence nahin hai ke jo kar rahe hai theek kar rahe hai. These guys think the world is their competition and I like that. There is a huge amount of energy in today’s generation of wanting to do something different. I am fortunate that I still have some strength left in me to give them something. Are you an actor’s actor or a director’s actor? How do you keep reinventing yourself to stay in the race? I don’t know, but after 38 years here I would like to believe that I am a director’s actor. Where reinvention is concerned, it’s true that I didn’t have the different shades that I get to play today. But it doesn’t work every time. Nishabd was something that didn’t go down too well with audiences. They perhaps wondered how Amitabh Bachchan could do this. But that was the character of the film, not me. A vast majority still unfortunately have this image of me — and I hope that I am not coming across as saying something wrong — which is very limiting for me as an actor. But if people expect this, then I feel I have to be more careful. If you are going to be microscopically analysed and looked at from every angle, then you have to make a choice. Either you say I will do what I feel like, not bothering about what the world thinks of me, or you say no. I owe something to the people and act accordingly. That suggests a certain vulnerability to public opinion… I don’t know. It could be. I don’t want everyone to believe what I am not. I want them to see that I am a normal human being. If I am going to be continuously reminded of certain events, I would rather correct myself. There are many who will say “jo likhna hai likhdo, karna hai karo’’. I can’t do that. In recent incidents, is it because your family is involved? No, even as an individual. But that is the curse of celebrity, you will always been under the scanner… I was born Amitabh Bachchan, born as a so-called celebrity being the son of the great Harivanshrai Bachchan. I can never be bigger than that. He will be remembered for thousands of years, this is nothing. In your battles with ill-health, in your manoeuvres as an actor, in your return to financial strength, is it a strong survival instinct which has seen you through? I will say that for actors it is more physical. If your face is not good or body is not good, nobody will take you. By the grace of god I presume I still have what it takes. Ill-health too I have been able to fight off with the blessings of family, friends and fans. The money part, because I have been through bad patches where I almost went into oblivion with no money to even feed myself, I have been admittedly concerned. How do I support my family? Who is going to believe me? I would not like to be in that situation ever again. Ideally I should leave my children alone; Say I have done enough, now fend for yourselves. I would propagate that, but at the same time I would love to keep doing things for them. A crisis can happen to anybody any time… life is chugging along fine, and suddenly everything goes haywire. When you prepare for a role, is there a lot of internalising? Do you get enough time to study and develop a character? Earlier, we would do six-eight films simultaneously, so there was less time to prepare. It’s much better now, and the entire film’s preparation is that much stronger. For films like Khakhee, Black, Sarkar there were very intense meetings between the actors and the directors. For Black, I was actually trained for six weeks in how the hearing and visually impaired communicate. Black was a very interesting film, even in the making. I am the teacher to a girl who cannot see, hear or talk. The audience must know what she says and what I am saying. Every time I have to repeat what she says, for the sake of the audience. It was tough. Contrast this with earlier times. I did a film, Sharabi, where I was asked by the director to give him 40-50 days. After reading the script, I realised that a man who is drunk takes almost twice as long to talk than a normal man. I suggested to the director to reduce the lines by half or make a six-hour film. We changed the script. Who from the industry had the most impact on you? Khwaja Ahmad Abbas sahab. Not so much for the fact that he gave me a break but for the man that he was. It’s very tough to bring your own philosophy as sincerely as it is in your mind into your work. Whether it was the story of his films, whether it was his personal life, Abbas sahab was the same. He lived in meagre circumstances, travelled in third class and when we went to Goa to shoot for Saat Hindustani, we travelled third class too. He said “I will stay in a circuit house’’. There was not enough place for everybody, so we shared the room with him, sleeping on the floor. Bijli nahi thi,laltein laga tha. That’s how we worked. He had strong personal conviction. He died because he felt it was shameful to ask somebody for money to pay for his medical expense. I cannot forget that. All of us who he had helped were all in a position to help him. But he never told anybody. Paanch hazar rupaye mein he sold the rights of Saat Hindustani... never told anybody. I cannot forget that... never forgive him for that. What are ABCL’s future plans? I feel that I’m incapable of managing, I’m a creative person. I have analysed that. I need my peace of mind. I don’t think I have the capacity or the ability to work out details like How many have reported for work?, Has everybody’s food arrived? etc. You need people to manage that. We would rather join hands with production companies who can do that. We go for funding and share the profits. We had our AGM last week. They keep insisting that we should go for an IPO, I say, “Main kya karoonga IPO karke?’’ What do I do with Rs 150-200 crore? Subhash Ghai can do something with it. He’s made a fantastic institute because he has the mental capacity to do it. I don’t have that. How will I service that project? I want to be an actor. At this stage of your life, what is that you desire most? Some sleep. And I want to get up in the morning and feel happy to go out and do some challenging work. Big B on his directors Hrishida was a very sensitive film maker. He made some wonderful films like Anand, Namak Haram, Mili. Manmohan Desai was remarkable too. He strongly believed in what he did, whether anybody else did or not. Look at Amar Akbar Anthony, the scene where three people are donating blood to their mother. It would be the height of absurdity, but nobody ever objected to it. Ramesh Sippy was a whizkid who put cinema into a new era, and Ram Gopal Varma is an amazing personality too. He used to run a video parlour before making a film, and had never seen any great works.

nakupenda: wichy : Да... вы угадали. Еще одно интервью Амита Во пробило то поболтать....... Наверно с Абишем совсем не видется,а больше не с кем,перешёл на прессу.... Бедная Айш совсем Абиш её затрах замучил вниманием,с папкой не видется

wichy: отсюда Reports are that Amitabh Bachchan may star in Ridley Scott’s next film that will have Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe as his co-stars. According to Amitabh Bachchan, he received an email from Scott’s office last week to star in Scott’s ambitious ‘Body Of Lies’, a thriller with an Al-Qaeda plot. William Monahan, who also wrote ‘The Departed’, has written the film. “Ridley Scott wants me to play a part of the Jordanian in the film. I’ve asked for more details. I need to see the script before I take a call. Let’s be realistic. Who will notice me when DiCaprio and Crowe are in the same film,” Bachchan joked. The buzz is that Scott is really keen to direct Bachchan. The two first met in 2003 at the Marrakech Film Festival in Rabat, Morocco where Scott offered Bachchan a role in the 2005 spectacle ‘Kingdom Of Heaven’. Though Bachchan didn’t do that part, things look brighter this time round. ‘Body Of Lies’ has Crowe playing a CIA boss who teams up with DiCaprio as an operative trying to trap an Al Qaeda leader. Слухи, слухи... Но может и правда? :) Говорят, Амит может быть будет сниматься в фильме Ридли Скотта вместе с Леонардо Ди Каприо и Расселом Кроу. Итак, Амитабх получил емейл из офиса Скотта на прошлой неделе с предложением сняться в амбициозном проекте Скотта ‘Body Of Lies’, триллере, связанном сюжетом с Аль-Каедой. Вильям Монахан, который написал сценарий ‘The Departed’, написал и этот сценарий. “Ридли Скотт хочет, чтобы я в этом фильме сыграл роль жителя Иордании. Я попросил рассказать подробнее. Я хочу сначала увидеть сценарий, а лишь потом звонить. Давайте будем реалистами. Кто заметит меня, если в фильме уже Ди Капри и Кроу" - шутит Амитабх" По слухам, Скотт действительно хочет снимать Баччана. Эти двое впервые встретились в 2003 на одном из кинофестивалей в Марокко, и Скотт предложил Баччану роль в своем фильме ‘Kingdom Of Heaven’. Хотя Баччан не принимал участия в том проекте, в этот раз все гораздо серьезнее. В ‘Body Of Lies’ Кроу играет шефа ЦРУ, который объединяется с героем Ди Каприо и они вместе пытаются поймать лидера Аль-Каиды. На imdb.com про сюжет фильма написано следующее - бывший журналист, раненный в иракской войне, нанят ЦРУ для того, чтобы выследить главу Аль-каеды в Иордане. Основан на романе "Body of Lies" Давида Игнатиуса.

Remita: wichy : Я хочу сначала увидеть сценарий, а лишь потом звонить. Давайте будем реалистами Исходя из этих слов, прихожу к выводу, что Амит там сниматься не будет - мелковатая роль для него

Soniya: люди, к нам Амитабх приезжает в августе будет на каком-то спектакле Катхаковском по поэмам отца читать стихи его... Джая тоже участвует... The event called "Bachchan Sandhya" will be held on Aug 18 at the Lincoln Center - a premier venue for the performing arts. The cultural do has been organised by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, US, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of India's independence and the centenary of late Harivansh Rai Bachchan, a celebrated Hindi poet and litterateur. On the occasion, Amitabh's wife and actress Jaya Bachchan will offer her own reminiscences about the life and achievements of her father-in-law. A dance-drama entitled Jeevan, based on Bachchan's poems, will be presented by renowned Kathak dancer and choreographer Vaswati Mishra and her troupe. Bachchan's best-known work is Madhushala, a series of quatrains or rubai. On the surface, the book seems like an ode to alcohol, but is actually an allegory about the complexity of life. Madhushala has been recited by Amitabh and sung by Manna De on tape.

wichy: отсюда Johnny Depp and Amitabh Bachchan, two actors representing the best of Hollywood and Bollywood, sharing screen space… Mira Nair could not have hoped for more for her next film Shantaram. While the Hollywood star of films like Pirates of the Caribbean and Finding Neverland will be playing the central role in the film, Amitabh will be the kind-hearted Mumbai gangster. The New York based Indian filmmaker, who was approached by Depp to direct Shantaram, couldn’t have asked for a better deal. “It was an honour for me that Depp asked me to make the film. It will go on the floors in November. But right now I busy with the release of The Namesake in India,” Nair told IANS. When asked about other members of the cast, Nair said it was just Depp and Amitabh right now. Итак, в ноябре начнутся съемки фильма Shantaram - проекта, продюсируемого Джонни Деппом, который исполняет в фильме главную роль. Режиссером проекта будет Мира Наир, а Амитабх будет играть гангстера из Мумбаи. Остальные актеры еще не утверждены. Кста, насчет фильма Ридли Скотта - Амит все-таки отказался от роли. Сказал - даты уже все заняты...

wichy: отсюда - интерьвю Баччана Last month Amitabh Bachchan was honoured by The British Academy Of Film & Teleivision Arts. He speaks to Subhash K Jha about the experience... How was the BAFTA experience? Another unique honour for you... I feel very deeply humbled and honoured. My recognition is really an acknowledgement of the Indian film industry, and indeed India. Its feels wonderful to see so much attention being given to our country. There was a retrospective of my films and some documentaries about me made by prominent people.I had to interact with the public over two evenings. British and Indian speakers spoke of my contribution and then I was asked up on stage for q&a. Clips of my work were shown as a reference alongside on the screen. Good intelligent interaction with the public. The Chairman of BAFTA ended the event by announcing me as an honorary life -time member of BAFTA. I felt really proud to be a small part of the Indian Film fraternity, receiving this distinction. Plans for the world concert featuring you with Abhishek and Aishwarya have been finalized? Yes. We hope to be in action next year around April and cover many countries. The tour is called The Unforgettable.It'll be exciting to accompany such a young and energetic group of youngsters. The joy of having Abhishek and Aishwarya along is the added excitement. The tour is expected to take us to all important countries in the world as well as internally in India too. Some additions to the cast are in planning and soon should be finalised. I feel a lot of nostalgia and anxiety within me as I take this on after several several years. But the scale of the event and the enthusiasm of the producers and cast will I hope help us in putting across a memorable experience. Would you like to do a project where all four of you feature together? You mean Jaya, Abhishek,Aishwarya and myself ? Yes we would welcome a project that involves all of us actively. We hear a lot of talk amongst makers for such projects. You've just returned from this trip to England covering IIFA, Leeds, London. How has it been for you? Its been wonderful. The family has been together. IIFA has been the best and the biggest Bollywood event since inception. It is such a joy for me to see the entire industry together in one place, entertaining, working and interacting with each other. The love and enthusiasm of the Yorkshire people,the respect and dignity with which they treated us was all so memorable.

wichy: отсюда Leena Yadav, who directed Shabd with Aishwarya Rai and Sanjay Dutt, is all set to direct Ash’s father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan in Teen Patti. Ace role Arshad While the director is currently into pre-production and is reluctant to speak about the cast of the film, it is learnt that the Big B will have to be adept at playing cards to do this part. “And I’m terrible with cards!” the Big B laments. He has earlier played a cards whiz in Shakti Samanta’s The Great Gambler in the late 1970s. So perhaps the Big B’s co-star Arshad Warsi could help the Big B get the cards right? Arshad chuckles, “Not at all! I can’t play cards, nor do I gamble. But I can fake anything.” So maybe the duo can support each other in this faked gamble to the finishing line? Says Arshad, “I’ve waited really really long to do a film with Mr Bachchan. Though we’ve done an ad together we’ve never really shared screen space.” Not counting the unfortunate Zamanat, which no one wants to talk about. The pack Besides the Big B and Arshad, Leena intends to cast a group of youngsters in principal roles. “The audition is on,” she says. When questioned further, she says, “Right now, I don’t want to say much about the film, but working with AB is a dream come true. I need to get over my awe of him before the shooting starts.” Incidentally, Bachchan played a double role of a gambler and a look-alike cop in The Great Gambler. Zeenat Aman and Neetu Singh were his co-stars Лина Ядав, которая снимала Shabd, собирается снимать Амитабха Баччана в фильме Teen Patti. Сейчас проект на стадии пре-продакшн, но уже известно, что Баччан будет практиковаться в игре в карты для этой роли. Раньше он уже играл шулера в The Great Gambler. В этот раз его партнером станет Аршад Варси. Аршад очень давно хотел сниматься вместе с Баччаном, и наконец такая возможность ему предоставилась. Кроме Баччана и Аршада, Лина собирается пригласить в проект на главные роли еще несколько молодых актеров, но пока говорить об этом рано.

wichy: отсюда MUMBAI (Reuters Life!) - Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has come to the aid of a young girl with a life-threatening heart ailment, promising to pay for the expensive treatment her poor family cannot afford. Bachchan, 64, offered his help after private television channel Aaj Tak broadcast an appeal for Mita Mondal, a young girl from Kolkata who needs complicated surgery to correct a heart condition. The actor called up the station and said he would be happy to contribute the entire treatment cost of 250,000 rupees, a small fortune for most families in India. “Tell me your address and I will arrange for the cheque to be sent right away,” Bachchan told Mondal’s family as they sat in the TV studio listening to their benefactor and thanking him. The ailing girl was seen giggling in her mother’s lap. The girl’s age was not given. “I pray that after the treatment she will be completely healthy,” he said. Minutes after Bachchan offered his help, a spokesman at a leading hospital in Mumbai called the channel and offered to help Mondal. “We are fortunate. We hope my daughter will come out as sprightly after the operation,” Debu Mondal, the girl’s father, said. Амитабх оплатил сложную операцию на сердце девочке из Калькутты. Он позвонил на телеканал, по которому шла программа о ней с просьбой о помощи, и сказал, что заплатит все 250000 рупий. Через минуту после звонка Амита, со студией связался предствитель одной из больниц Мумбаи и предложил помощь в проведении операции.

wichy: Интервью с Амитом - отсюда MUMBAI: Superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who is competing for roles with heroes up to 30 years younger than him, has no plans to hang up his boots as he does not want to ever face a financial crisis or feel insecure. The star, seen most recently in Cheeni Kum as a man in his mid-60s romancing a woman half his age, explained why he would not consider retirement and why he would not return to politics in an interview. “I have been through that phase before where I was in a financial crisis, and once you have been there you tend to feel insecure,” said the star who will turn 65 in October. “You want to make sure that you earn enough never to have to go through that again.” As long as audiences and producers wanted him to perform, Bachchan will appear on the silver screen that he has dominated for over three decades. “I will continue to work as long as I can,” he said. “I am thankful that I am still getting roles that are challenging. After all I am at least 20 to 30 years older than most of the heroes on stage.” More than two decades after his stint as a member of the Lok Sabha, Bachchan also said he was determined not to enter politics again. “I am a failed politician. I was not good at it, and I have made it very clear that I will not enter (politics) again,” he asserted. “Back then, I entered politics on an emotional note,” Bachchan said, apparently referring to his close association and friendship with late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, at whose behest he joined politics and contested the general election in 1984. When it was pointed out that southern superstar Rajnikant had called him an “emperor of Indian cinema”, Bachchan said the actor was “too generous to call me an emperor”. “I am no emperor. He has his place and I have my own place in the industry. It is a pity that people are trying to compare. Why can’t we accept there are two personalities in the same industry?” Bachchan, who burnt his fingers with the company he floated in 1996, was glad that the firm had finally made a turnaround. “AB Corp (the company he floated) is now finally debt- free and this time at our annual general meeting, I was able to declare a small dividend and that made me very happy. We do have several productions lined up and we are looking forward to those,” he said. Dismissing criticism that Indian cinema aped the West, Bachchan said the country and its people had imbibed several things from the British, including the “police raj” that continued even though “we are an independent country”. “I don’t think we (the Indian film industry) ape the West. Our parliamentary system is aped from the British…our laws, criminal procedure laws were all designed by the British and have remained unchanged,” he said. “We all know the British Raj was a police raj and even though we are now an independent country, we continue with the same.” “Indian cinema alone cannot be singled out for criticism. On the contrary, Indian cinema draws quite a lot from our culture, ethos and mythology while at the same time being inspired by the good art work done abroad,” he said. Stressing that Indian movies were only “inspired” by the West, Bachchan said: “If there is good work happening in the West, it is a very natural thing to get inspired by it. “Our source and inspiration remain our ethics and our culture. After all, there are only seven notes of music, but when they are combined, they form different tunes. There has to be some kind of cohesion, balance and acceptance of what is happening in the West.” The superstar, however, was critical of those who expected Indian films to win Oscars, saying: “Why must we judge our films by Western standards? The number of people who watch Hindi films and love them point to the kind of popularity they have.” Bachchan himself is scheduled to work on two international projects — director Deepa Mehta’s Exclusion that centres round the plight of 376 Indian asylum-seekers who were denied entry to Canada in 1914 and director Mira Nair’s “Shantaram” which is based on Gregory David Roberts’ acclaimed novel. Вкратце: Амит говорит, что в свое время он прошел через период жизни, когда был в финансовом кризисе, и до сих пор не чувствует безопасности в этом отношении, и вообще - те, кто прошел через такое, обычно стремятся убедиться, что зарабатывают достаточно, чтобы никогда больше не попасть в такую ситуацию. Поэтому до тех пор, пока зрители и продюсеры будут хотеть видеть его на экране, Амит будет продолжать работать - пока здоровье позволит, конечно. И он очень благодарен судьбе, что ему до сих пор удается получать интересные роли. В конце концов, он на 20-30 лет старше большинства звезд сегодня. Также Амит говорит, что не собирается больше возвращаться к политической деятельности - однажды он попробовал, не был особо хорош в этом, и больше пробовать не станет. Тогда его решение было эмоциональным (возможно из-за дружбы с премьер-министром Радживом Ганди, по чъему настоянию Амит участвовал в выборах в 1984 году. Про то, что Раджникант назвал Амита императором индийского кино, Баччан сказал, что это уж слишком... "Я не император. У него есть свое место, у меня свое в этой индустрии. Жаль, что люди пытаются нас сравнивать. Почему они не могут принять факт, что может быть две разных личности в одной индустрии? ” Также Амит доволен, что его фирма AB Corp наконец-то расплатилась с долгами, и даже смогла начать выплачивать акционерам небольшие дивиденды. По поводу сравнения индийского кино с западным - Амит не думает, что индийское кино копирует западное. Конечно, и в индийском кино много недостатоков, которые можно критиковать, но с другой стороны оно отражает культуру страны, хотя и вдохновляется отличной художественно работой в зарубежных фильмах. И если на западе делают хорошие фильмы - то само собой, что они служат источником вдохновения. Но главным источником по-прежнему остается собственная этика и культура. В конце концов, в музыке всего семь нот, но когда их сочетаешь - получаются совершенно разные мелодии. Насчет того, что индийские фильмы не получают Оскара - "Почему мы должны судить наши фильмы по западным стандартам? Количество людей, смотрящих и любящих хинди-фильмы указывает на уровень их популярности". Сейчас Амит работает над двумя международными проектами - фильм Дипы Мехты Exclusion, и проект Миры Наир “Shantaram”, основанный на книге Грегори Девида Робертса.

wichy: отсюда After the roaring success of his innings on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Big B is all set to do television again. Confirming the news on Monday morning, the hyper-busy actor said, "Yes, I'm definitely doing television again. Talks are on with several channels. And I plan to take up one or maybe even more of these offers very shortly." When asked whether his comeback on television would be a game show Big B laughed, "It's too early to say right now. It could be another non-fictional show. But I'm not ruling out fiction either. I've a whole bunch of proposals from a whole bunch of channels. The offers are under serious consideration." Percolating with extra-enthusiasm after the just-concluded IIFA awards, the Big B said, "It was the best IIFA to date. There were great forums for business opportunities, charitable events for the needy. There was a large number of tie-ups for social causes, like global warming, building buildings over communities. On top of that I got an honorary recognition. Wow!" The Big B describes the awards ceremony at Yorkshire as fantastic. "The crowds at Yorskhire were sensational." But the best was yet to come. "The best part of the whole experience was the absolute joy of being with my entire family. Nothing can beat that." Амит, несмотря на свою занятость на съемках, решил вновь участвовать в телепрограммах. Он подтвердил, что сейчас ведутся переговоры с несколькими каналами, и вскоре он примет одно, а может даже несколько из их предложений. Что конкретно он будет вести - он пока не говорит.

wichy: интервью с Амитом - о съемках Саркар 2, Абишека, Уттар-Прадеш и ты.ды. • How was the first day of shooting with your daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai for Sarkar Raj. What kind of equation do you share with her in the film? Aishwarya plays an important part in moving the film's story structure forward. She shares a good relationship with both Abhishek and me and is an importantingredient in the final outcome of the story.The first day of the shoot was invigorating, special, emotional, warm and extremely satisfying. • Even before the release of Ramgopal Varma Ki Aag there are reports about you planning another film with him that will all three of you in the film, which the director initially wanted to make with Shah Rukh Khan. Is it true? Ramu and I talk constantly of several projects simultaneously. It's a common phenomenon with most artist-director relationships. Yes we have talked of projects that could involve all three of us. I am unaware whether the projects he has spoken of have also been discussed with Shah Rukh. That will be Ramu's prerogative. It is very unlikely in today's time that someone would design something with Shah Rukh and then instead work with me. It would be a sacrilege and very self-destructive if he did that. • Why do you think went wrong with Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (JBJ)? Also critics did question your presence in the film as the role had nothing to offer an actor of your calibre? What went wrong with JBJ was that the audience did not like it. Critics not liking my presence because it had nothing to offer me could be justified. I did it because the film involved Shaad, Abhishek, Adi and Yashraj and the great time I had working in their earlier project Bunty Aur Babli. It was never meant to be a test of calibre; a commodity, I believe to be very scarce in my repertoire. • Of late you have been seen in films in which you have interesting get ups whether it is the chef with a pony tail or your character in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Even your forthcoming films like Bhootnath and Aag too have you in novel get ups. Don't you think that get ups mostly spoil the role? Get ups justify the effort desired to be playing different roles. Playing myself all the time would be pretty monotonous and dry. Actors need constantly to be tested and challenged in through different characterisations. A role can be spoilt by a bad performance, a bad script, a bad director. Never have I heard of a get up spoiling a role. • Animation has become an in thing in Hindi films. We have heard that Shweta has floated a company that deals with animation films… Right now, there is nothing on the anvil. But who can say about tomorrow? Also, Shweta's husband Nikhil Nanda has an animation company amongst his other business interests. • Will Ash's Windfall which she was co-producing will be made under the AB Corp banner? Also there reports about Shoojit Sarkar's film, which was to be earlier made by Percept being made under the AB Corp banner? Also, is AB Corp planning to make television serials? What is the current status of the TV serial that you are going to be part of ? I am unaware of what Windfall is, and have no information on it wanting to do something with AB Corp. Shoojit Sarkar's film is now with UTV and they are working out the details. At the moment, AB Corp is not making serials. But there are possibilities of us getting into TV shows in the future. And the TV serial I am doing is under discussion and consideration. • Today's generation likes being on their own. Will Aishwarya and Abhishek move into the other bungalow (Ammu) or they want to be with you and Jayaji? They want to be with us. • There are speculations in the media and in political circles that all his not well between the Bachchans and Amar Singh. Comment. Things between Amar Singhji and us couldn't be better. He is a member of my family. If you have not seen us together as often as you would like us to, that is your problem, not ours. • A lot of UPiites are upset that you are no longer the brand ambassador of the state. Will you accept it if Mayawati government offers the same to you? Were you upset when you learnt that Samajwadi failed to form the government in Uttar Pradesh? Oh..!! This a new one. I thought they were rather happy that I was no longer one. But since you express it, I have no reason to disbelieve you and yes, I would happily do whatever is asked of me, to promote Uttar Pradesh. The campaign that I did earlier on, still holds good. I still believe, as I said in the adverts, that, compared to other states, crime in UP is lesser. I think it is number 26 or 27 in the rankings. Just three days ago in the Times of India, they carried an extensive report that Delhi was no.1 and Mumbai no.2 in crime ratings. So UP is much better off. Which is what the crux of my campaigns were. Переведу общий смысл: Про совместные с Ашкой съемки в Sarkar Raj - Айшварья играет важную роль в продвижении сюжета, у нее отличные отношения с Амитом и Абишеком, и она - важная составляющая финального исхода вещей. Первый день съемок был замечательный во всех отношениях. Насчет фильма, который РГВ планировал сделать с Шахом, а теперь передумал и хочет в нем снять троих Баччанов - Раму и Амит ведут переговоры о нескольких проектах, и о проекте, в котором снова будет участвовать вся троица тоже говорили, но Амит не знает, тот ли это проект который РГВ раньше обсуждал с Шахом, это вообще вопрос к РГВ. Сомнительно, чтобы сегодня кто-то разработал проект под Шаха, а потом решил делает его с Амитом. Это было бы очень неразумно - так поступать. По поводу неуспеха Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (JBJ) - просто аудитории не понравилось. Критикам не понравилось мое появление, потому что у роли, которая могла бы его оправдать, не было. Я снялся в нем, потому что в фильме участвовали Шаад, Аби, Ади и Яшрадж, с которыми я раньше с удовольствием работал в Bunty Aur Babli. ЭТо никак не было связано с калибром роли. Про свой имидж в последних фильмах - будут ли опять смены имиджа и не кажется ли ему, что они могут испортить восприятие его персонажей - Амит считает, что играть все время в одном имидже было бы занудно, и актер должен все время проверять себя и бросать себе вызов, играя разных персонажей. Роль может испортить плохой перфоманс, плохой сценарий, плохой режиссер. Про слухи о том, что Швета собирается организовать компанию по производству анимационных фильмов - сейчас таких планов нет, но кто может сказать насчет завтра? Тем более, что у мужа Шветы уже есть анимационная компания. Насчет того, собираются ли Аби и Ашка переехать от родителей - нет, они хотят жить с ними. Насчет слухов по поводу размолвок между Амаром Сингхом и Амитом - никаких размолвок нет, он член их семьи, и если их сейчас не видят так часто вместе - то это не их проблемы. НАсчет того, что Амит больше не является "лицом" штата Уттар-Прадеш - Амит был бы счастлив по-прежнему представлять Уттар-Прадеш

wichy: отсюда Big B seems to be getting more daring by the day. He recently performed a stunt scene by himself for the film Bhootnath, despite the fact that the director had a stuntman ready on the sets to perform the action. When everyone expressed concern, he stubbornly said, "Bilkul main hi karunga yeh scene." (I will do this scene.) Director Vivek Sharma expresses amazement at Big B's on-the-spot decision on the sets. He says, "There is this scene where Dada (Mr Bachchan) has to be shown falling down the stairs. I had a stuntman ready who was to perform the scene but suddenly Dada said he wanted to perform it himself. Since he had to fall down the stairs, we attached cables on him and he was ready to go. He needed about three or four retakes. For every take, he had to remain hanging on to the cable wires in the air, till we got our shot right." The entire unit was surprised to see this stunt being performed by Big B and congratulated him. However, the director had his own share of worries about the actor's wellbeing. Sharma says, "He was as excited as a child while performing the scene. The entire unit clapped after he did it. He could have just allowed the duplicate to do the needful but he chose to do it himself. I was worried for him as he was doing a dangerous stunt at the age of 66 and has also been operated recently. But he didn't seem to care. He was only worried about whether I was happy with the shots or not. After the shoot, he messaged me saying, 'If you are not happy with the shots I'll do them again.'" While hanging from the cable, Bachchan even joked. He told Sharma, "Arre teri aisi ki taisi, kya karva raha hai mujhse?" (Damn you, what are you making me do?) When we spoke to Big B about doing the stunt scene himself, he confirmed the news saying, "Yes I did it. I had to dive off the first floor over a staircase." Не бережет себя Баччан-старший. Недавно решил сам выполнить трюки для фильма Bhootnath, несмотря на то, что у режиссера был наготове каскадер. По сценарию Амит должен был падать с лесницы, поэтому к нему прикрепили тросы. Пришлось переснимать четыре раза, пока не получился тот вариант, который нужен режиссеру. Режиссер говорит, что Амит был в абсолютно ребячьем восторге от выполнения трюка, и вся съемочная группа ему хлопала.

Дана: wichy : Амит был в абсолютно ребячьем восторге от выполнения трюка, Не иначе как ударился головой и впал в детство

wichy: Новый имидж Амита для его нового фильма режиссера Ритупарно Гхоша "The Last Lear" и небольшой рассказ режиссера о проекте. отсюда As Amitabh Bachchan starrer The Last Lear goes to the Toronto International Film Festival, director Rituparno Ghosh talks about what makes his film stand out This one should be a winner for Amitabh Bachchan. After all, what can be easier for Big B than to play an actor? And that’s how the audience at the Toronto International Film Festival will see him – as a failed and ageing Shakespearean actor – in Planman Motion Picture’s The Last Lear . Amitabh will be accompanied by actors Preity Zinta and Arjun Rampal on September 9, when the film will have its world premier at the festival. Not just a new role, Big B is sporting a new look in the film too. With white flowing mane, deep lines etched across his face and his great acting skills – Big B suits the role to a T. Says Rituparno Ghosh, the film’s director, “Amitda has great admiration for Shakespeare and his work, and this comes through beautifully in the film, as do the sincerity, warmth and genuineness that he puts into his work.” The film is based on Utpal Dutt’s Aajker Shahjahan, which Ghosh says “combines theatre and cinema so beautifully”. Rumours have it that so fascinated was Bachchan by the film that he even wrote part of the dialogues for it. Reacting to this, Ghosh says, “That’s just the rumour mill working! Actually, since the film is in English, I’d wanted a few Hindi dialogues for a very small scene, translated from the English ones I’d written. So I simply asked Amitda to help me translate these into Hindi for me. That’s it.” Talking about Arjun who plays a filmmaker from Kolkata, he says, “As part of the homework for his role, Arjun roamed around Kolkata for a few days, just to get his finger on the pulse of the city.” And Preity, he says “gets to don a completely Indian look for the first time in the film, something she has never portrayed before.” The Last Lear also stars Divya Dutta and Shefali Shah. But, doesn’t the fact that the film is in English worry him — that it would be restricted to a niche audience? “English, I feel, is a very valid urban Indian language. And we’ve used English the way we Indians speak it. So, the film has as much potential to reach out to a larger audience as any other film,” says Ghosh. Confident that the film will be appreciated by audiences worldwide, Arindam Chaudhuri who has presented the film says, “The Last Lear is indeed a very important and powerful film. The story, Rituparno Ghosh’s direction and the performances are all world class. We always wanted to be known as makers of good film and I can only say these are just our initial days!” Фильм едет на фестиваль в Торонто. Амит поедет в Торонто тоже - с Прити и Арджуном. Именно там 9 сентября и состоится мировая премьера фильа. Амит играет пожилого актера, играющего шекспировские роли. Фильм основан на пьесе Утпала Датта Aajker Shahjahan. Арджун играет фильммейкера из Калькутты, у Прити же - абсолютно индийский имидж, которого раньше не видели. Также в фильме снимаются Дивья Датта и Шефали Шах. Фильм снят целиком на английском.

Soniya: wichy : Амит поедет в Торонто тоже - с Прити и Арджуном я кажется уже знаю, кто тоже поедет в Торонто

wichy: Soniya : кажется уже знаю, кто тоже поедет в Торонто Ты еще и в Торонто собралась.. Ну и жизня у тебя, Сония... Завидую белой завистью...

Soniya: wichy : Ты еще и в Торонто собралась.. вообще то не собиралась, но после этой новости, что-то потянуло. к тому же знаю, что Аленчика потянет тоже... еще и Арджун там

wichy: отсюда - про то, как Амит прикалывался над Гхошем и Прити на съемках фильма The Last Lear. The otherwise reserved Amitabh Bachchan had a metamorphosis of sorts on the sets of Rituparno Ghosh's The Last Lear. Bachchan, who plays a theatre artiste and swears by Shakespeare (in the film), often provided comic relief to the cast and crew while filming in Kolkata and Mussoorie. His first target was family friend and director Rituparno Ghosh. After taking endless digs at him for his I-want-perfect-shots streak and his then-shaven head, Bachchan rechristened him 'Hitler Ghosh'. The story goes that Bachchan almost threatened to wage a war against Ghosh for his disciplinarian ways. He even jokingly mentioned spearheading a movement and establishing a union that will address grievances of actors and technicians. Says producer Arindam Chaudhuri, "Mr Bachchan was in a great mood throughout. I have never seen him having so much fun. He would take digs at Rituparno but all in good humour. He had threatened to set up a union to monitor Rituparno's dictatorship on the sets." Preity Zinta was also at the receiving end. Her part demanded her to drape herself in cotton saris and Big B would always advise her to mind her step. He asked crew members to be alongside Zinta fearing that she might trip and fall. "Preity was extremely comfortable in saris but Mr Bachchan told everyone that she is yet to get accustomed to it." After giving his shot, Bachchan used to grab the microphone and call out for Rituparno and Preity who would be close by. Adds Chaudhuri, "Can you imagine Mr Bachchan screaming in that heavy baritone voice? He would do it just to shock everyone."

wichy: отсюда Amitabh Bachchan speaks to Subhash K Jha on proposed family World Concert, the third National Award & shooting Sarkar 2 with Abhishek & Ash There's a much talked-about proposed family concert next year. Who will be accompanying you, Abhishek and Aishwarya? Things are still being finalized. But it looks like Akshay Kumar, Bipasha, Lara, Riteish and Shiamak Davar. Finally the National award for Black after a year's delay. Delayed triumph tastes sweeter? The delay was due to certain legal unforeseen circumstances. But eventually the National Award Committee came through and the awards have been announced. I am deeply grateful to the Government and the Awards jury for considering me, but more importantly for having considered the film Black and for having given it a separate recognition as well. …. I cannot say about delayed triumph being sweeter. Any triumph is sweet and humbling and honourable. I am grateful and happy. You sound really pleased. I'm happy for the film, happy for Sanjay and sad that Rani did not get an award for her performance. She played the main protagonist. All the other performances were guided by her in the film. Our recognition came because of her and her incredible performance. She was responsible for our achievement. When she called to express her joy about my National award, her temperament was just the same and as intense as when we saw the first copy of the film together. But we must respect the decision of the Jury and acknowledge the person that did get the actress award namely Sarika. Did the controversies surrounding the award (including a jury member claiming they were being pressurized to give you the award!!!!) cause you embarrassment/discomfort? No it did not. They are the jury and they sit on judgement and they must have their reasons for their claims and decisions. I think what became awkward was that the deliberations of the jury became public because of the court procedure. The body of distinguished people chosen by State authorities to represent a Committee, are very able and accomplished individuals, working within their own creative and artistic capabilities, guided of course by a set rules and regulations. They know their job. We are no one to question them. If differences had arisen within them, as is wont in most bodies who pass judgement, it would have been prudent perhaps if it had remained within the closed doors of the Committee. Who are we to remark on it? It is for them and the State to deal with. Most of us feel Black is your finest ever. Where would you rate it at this point of time when you've been doing such varied work? Black rates very highly in my repertoire. I cannot say if it is the finest. I hope the finest is yet to come. As an artist I would cherish that. It's always a challenge perhaps to better what has been done before. Black has arguably been your most lauded film to date. Do you feel feel it has gone as far as it deserves. Isn't it strange it has been given a National award for best Hindi film when in fact much of the dialogue is in English? I am not conversant with the selection procedure of the National Awards so I shall not be able to comment on this. They must have their reasons for doing so. Lately you've been shooting with your poora parivar barring Jaya in Hyderabad. How's the experience? Its been wonderful !! This is the first time you've shot with Abhishek and Aishwarya after their marriage. Is it hard switching from a real life Pa to a complete professional at the flick of the camera? Not really. As actors we go through these exercises with others as well, close friends and colleagues whom you have to be thoroughly professional with. What changes do you notice in Abhishek after marriage? Nothing much really. Except the usage of the phrase " Meet my wife" by him, on social occasions ! How's Sarkar 2 shaping up? As intense as the first time ? I think it's shaping well and yes it is as intense as the first one. Sholay has undergone a complete change. . . new title and a new name for your character. Would you say it's still Sholay in spirit? Its RGV's take on the film. In that respect I believe there is a deep inspiration. Небольшое интервью с Амитом. Говорит, что окончательный состав группы для его мирового турне не утвержден, но вероятнее всего из сторонних будут Акшай, Бипаша, Лара, Ритеш и Шиамак Давар. Про получение Национальной премии за Black - говорит, что польщен, а еще больше рад за фильм. И ему очень жаль, что Рани не получила награды за свой перфоманс - она же главная героиня, вдохновляла всю съемочную группу и именно она причина успеха фильма. Про то, изменился ли Аби после свадьбы: практически нет, кроме фразы " Meet my wife" которую он использует на всяческих мероприятиях.

wichy: отсюда Plenty of drama unfolded on Wednesday afternoon at the famous Jalsa residence of the Bachchans. Ankur Singh, claiming to be a Bachchan fan, came there and demanded money from Big B to buy a car. When he was (obviously!) denied his wish, he attempted to take his own life by guzzling down phenyl. A source confirms, “I was passing by Big B’s bungalow when I noticed a young man creating a scene at the gate. He was demanding money to buy a car from Big B and after some time drank something from a bottle and tried committing suicide. He was taken away by the police in an unconscious state.” Ankur Singh, a 27-year-old man, travelled all the way from Kolkata to meet his idol Amitabh Bachchan. On August 25, he landed up at Big B’s bungalow and started arguing with the watchman. He said he was a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan and wanted to meet him. The watchman ignored his plea, thinking he was just another fan, but Ankur didn’t budge. The helpless watchman took the message across to Big B and he was asked to get the fan in, as informed by the Senior Inspector, Pradeep Shinde of Juhu Police Station. Big B met Ankur Singh that morning and interacted with him. Bachchan asked the man to return to his hometown and before he was sent off, told his watchman to hand over Rs. 5000 in cash to Ankur as he had travelled from far-off Kolkata. Ankur happily accepted the money and left Jalsa only to return soon after. Says Inspector Shinde, “On August 29, around 2 pm, Ankur returned to Jalsa claiming that he wanted to meet Mr Bachchan. The guards refused to let him in as Mr. Bachchan was not at home. He began to create a scene saying, ‘Agar iss janam mein Bachchan saab ka dost na ban paya toh agle janam mein hi sahi’ (If I can’t be Bachchansaab’s friend in this lifetime, I’ll try in the next) and drank half a bottle of phenyl outside his gate. He wanted a car as a gift from Mr. Bachchan which he was rightly refused.” Big B spoke to the cops immediately after the incident. When contacted Amitabh Bachchan, confirmed the news, saying, “I believe this incident took place at Jalsa but I was not in the house yesterday. The police in Juhu have taken charge of the case.” Abhishek who was to shoot at the ND Studios in Karjat reached late and was heard telling his associates, “There is a lot of tension back home. Some guy has tried committing suicide after drinking phenyl. I have been receiving calls from home and am worried.” Ankur Singh was immediately admitted to the Cooper Hospital by the Juhu Police. “We have charged him with the attempt to committing suicide. His condition is improving at Cooper Hospital and the moment his he gets better, we’ll arrest him,” declares Pradeep Shinde. В среду в резиденции Баччанов в Джалсе развернулась целая драма - Анкур Сингх, утверждающий, что он фанат Баччанов, пришел к резиденции и начал просить у Амита денег на покупку машины. Когда тот отказался, фанат решил прямо там покончить жизнь самоубийством, хряпнув из бутылки какой-то химии. 27-летний молодой человек приехал из Калькутты 25 августа, и добился встречи с Амитом, тот предолжил ему вернуться домой, даже сказал охраннику выдать тому 5000 рупий на обратную дорогу. Тот денег принял, но 29 августа вернулся и устроил сцену, а затем выпил полбутылки фенила прямо возле овро. Он хотел, чтобы Баччан подарил ему машину. Амита в это время дома не было. Молодого человека отвезли в госпиталь при полиции Джуху.

Amita: wichy : Тот денег принял, wichy : Он хотел, чтобы Баччан подарил ему машину Дайте водички попить ,а то так жрать охота,что переночевать негде . Не ,ну жуть ,какие-то беспредельные поклонники пошли ,то на свадьбе тетка резалась ,то этот придурок !

wichy: отсюда - свежее интерьвю с Амитом. You have quite a motley crew with you in Aag. Oh yes. There was a very wide canvas. There're several smaller characters who have been very nicely portrayed. I specially love Mohanlal. I love his craft. He's an exceptional artiste. With such simplicity he's able to display emotions that are so complex. Unfortunately, I didn't have much to do with Sushmita or not too many scenes with Ajay Devgan either. You've had the singular honour of being in both the versions of Sholay. Why just me? Sachin is also in both the versions. He plays my brother. There're these little-little things that have been incorporated into the original. Sholay was the first film that Ramu saw. So he has a nostalgic attachment to that film. But Ramu has developed his own vision based on his attachment to Sholay. To bring the whole theme and characters into the city is a very bold and brave thing to do. All the actors were in awe of you. So you say. I haven't seen it. Maybe they are such good actors they hide their awe. Then I need to be in awe of them for being such good actors. Why haven't you and Ramesh Sippy worked together lately? He hasn't asked me. He hasn't been directing films. Do you miss working with those directors? Of course! I'm damn fortunate to work with Ramesh Sippy. Just like I had the singular honour of working with Prakash Mehra, Manmohan Desai, Hrishikesh Mukherjee and now the new generation of filmmakers. Ramu's craft is totally different from Ramesh Sippy's. How can you forget your past? I don't. I love my past. Don't you? Not all of it. Well you gotta take the good with the bad. Ramu keeps threatening us with several projects featuring you and Abhishek Yeah, he wants to do Time Machine with me and Abhishek. It's a nice concept and beautiful story. I'm comfortable working with Ramu. So why not another film? I haven't done a sci-fi before. Sarkar 2 was a fantastic experience. I do hope it lives up to the expectations raised by the earlier film, though the canvas is much larger this time. Sarkar Raj is your first sequel. Oh yeah! The inter-relations haven't changed, though some new characters have been introduced. But the house, the ambience, the wife, sons and daughters-in-law and the working relations are all the same.

wichy: отсюда - новое интервью с Амитом. He turns 65 next month, but Amitabh Bachchan is far from slowing down. In fact, he’s never been busier. Or experimental. Here, he talks about trying out different characterisations, the year that was, Aishwarya Rai, and Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. You’re a month away from your 65th birthday. How do you look back on the year? Well, I think every year has its positives and negatives. It started with my son announcing his decision to get married.Then I got the Legion d’Honour from the French government. Then the marriage, and Aishwarya as the bahu in the house…. such wonderful things happening. We won’t discuss the bad things. Why not? They’re the flip side of the good and therefore essential. I don’t look at the lows as bad things. They’re a part of life. Yes, there has been political victimisation, court cases and so on. The farmland controversy just goes on. I’ve already announced my decision to relinquish the land, so I don’t know what they’re fighting for. Why do people go to court? When they’re in a dispute, right? But when I’m saying, ‘Take the land’ where’s the dispute? When you’re a high-profile person, they like to hit out at you as much as they can. What is it like to have a bahu in the house? It’s fantastic! I feel I’ve got back my daughter. Has Aishwarya taken Shweta’s place in your life? No one can take Shweta’s place in my life. She’s my daughter. But yes, my bahu is like another daughter in the house. It’s wonderful to have her around. We’re extremely happy and I hope she’s happy too. Did it feel different working with Ash in Sarkar Raj? Not at all. We were all playing roles when the camera was switched on. Once it was off we were a family again. Let’s talk about RGV’s Aag. Babban in Sholay is a very cartoonish villain… Well, let me assure you that this villain is more ruthless in look, and he isn’t humorous at all. He’s a full-on villain. Any fear of audiences recoiling from your villainous aspirations? I looked upon it as a challenge. As an actor, I’ve the liberty to try as many characterisations as possible. Earlier, the accusation against me was why I was only doing leading men’s roles. Now, when I’m doing something different, I’m being questioned for playing a villain. Do you think you are liberated of a specific image? Certainly. Because of my age I’m able to do character roles. But as an actor it’s very important for me to do something different. Anthony Hopkins, who’s one of my favourite actors, and who normally plays sympathetic roles, plays a sadistic killer in Hannibal. But we admire his craft. So the audience needs to be more tolerant of my need to experiment. At 65, these are the kind of roles I’m getting. If people want to see me doing such unexpected roles, I’m fine. Otherwise I’m out of a job. Was there a sense of nostalgia in re-visiting Sholay? No. That was Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay. This is Ram Gopal Varma’s film. I just did what he asked me to. Ramu’s craft is totally different from Ramesh Sippy’s. Did the thought of playing Gabbar daunt you? I don’t know why so much is being made out this. That someone decided to remake it is a great compliment to the original. When Vishal Bhardwaj makes Maqbool or Omkara, he’s praised for how well he has adapted Shakespeare. Then why not Ramu, for re-interpreting Sholay?

wichy: отсюда Why did Amitabh Bachchan leave the premiere of "Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag" midway? The superstar has refuted the rumour that he is unhappy with the "Sholay" remake and clarified that he went back to be with his ailing mother. Reacting to a report in a section of the press, Bachchan said: "Kya Karen (What can I do)? People will talk. I can't live my life in accordance with wagging tongues. "Yes, I did leave the 'Aag' premiere early. But not because I didn't like the film. My mother's health has taken a turn for the worse. And I'm trying to spend as much time with her as possible," Bachchan told over the phone. "Since I had already seen 'Aag' I left the premiere early. Even now as I talk to you I am at the hospital with my mother." The entire family is spending as much time as possible with Teji Bachchan. The Big B is dividing his time between shooting at Yashraj Films and rushing to the hospital. Амит говорит, что ушел рано с премьеры "Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag" не потому, что ему не понравился фильм, а потому, что должен был ехать в больницу к матери - а фильм он уже видел раньше. Вся семья старается проводить с Теджи Баччан как можно больше времени, и Амит тоже разрывается между съемками на Yashraj Films и больницей.

wichy: отсюда The Bachchans' ardent devotion for lord Ganesh is no secret. The family visits the Siddhivinayak temple at Prabhadevi to pay their respects often. Now, it is learnt that Amitabh Bachchan plans to gift a silver mouse to the temple. Uday Pratap Singh, a former trustee at the Siddhivinayak temple, confirms the news and says, “Yes, Bachchan sahib has plans of gifting the temple with a 3.5 kg silver mouse. He has organised a custommade silver statue from a jeweller in Amravati. He reportedly said, 'Main murti banakar dena chahta hoon'.” This is Amitabh Bachchan's first gift to the temple, apart from the regular cash that he always puts in the daan peti. So has he wished for something this time too? Uday Pratap Singh says, “Now he has a very special reason. Unhone jald se jald dadaji banneki ichcha vyakt ki hai (He has expressed the desire to become a dadaji soon).” Are Abhi-Ash listening? Adds, Singh, “In the past, many of his mannats have been fulfilled. He had prayed for Abhishek's wedding. When Amitabh Bachchan was unwell, Abhishek and Jaya Bachchan had come to pray for his good health. He had also come here with Amar Singh when he had land problems in Uttar Pradesh.” Says another source from the temple, “The Bachchan family regularly visits the Siddhivinayak temple. As a ritual, they always whisper their wishes into the ears of the two huge silver mouse statues which are placed inside the temple's entrance. Maybe a wish has been fulfilled and so the family has decided to gift this mouse to the temple.” “Apparently, the Bachchans have got a third party to organise the murti from a jeweller in Khamgao, Amravati. The estimated weight of the murti is said to be around 3.5 kgs and it will look like the two other mouse statues that are already present in the temple,” adds the source То, что Баччаны - почитатели бога Ганеши - ни для кого не секрет. Семья часто посещает храм Сиддхивинаяк в Прабхадеви, чтобы поклониться божеству. Говорят, теперь Амит хочет подарить храму серебняную мышь (навроде той, что на рисунке вверху) и даже уже заказал ее у ювелира в Амравати. Это первый подарок Амита храму кроме регулярных пожертвований, и в этот раз у него на то есть особая причина - он выразил желанием стать побыстрее дедушкой. Говорят, что каждый раз, приходя в храм, Баччаны шепчут свое желание богу на ушко одной из громадных серебряных мышей, которые стоят у входа в храм. Видимо, желания выполняются и семья решила подарить храму такую мышь. Приблизительный вес мыши будет 3,5 кг и она будет похожа на две другие статуи, которые уже есть в храме.

Akki: он выразил желанием стать побыстрее дедушкой. Говорят, что каждый раз, приходя в храм, Баччаны шепчут свое желание богу на ушко одной из громадных серебряных мышей, которые стоят у входа в храм. Видимо, желания выполняются и семья решила подарить храму такую мышь. чтобы стать дедушкой, не мышке на ушко шепнуть надо...

Remita: wichy : Видимо, желания выполняются и семья решила подарить храму такую мышь. Это в каком таком смысле выполняются? В смысле - можно уже ждать приплода?

Melody: Remita пишет: В смысле - можно уже ждать приплода или в смысле процесс пошел?!

wichy: отсюда Deepak Sawant gave the biggest hit of the Bhojpuri cinema last year, Ganga. He is now ready with its sequel, Gangotri in both Bhojpuri and the Hindi version. Earlier, there were reports that Sawant suddenly decided to dub the film in Hindi after looking at the final edit but the fact is that he actually shot the film in both Bhojpuri and Hindi from the very beginning with the same star cast and is planning to release both the versions on the same date. Sawant’s first film Ganga was a big hit in Bhojpuri. Looking at the success of the film Sawant decided to make the sequel Gangotri which takes the story of Ganga forward. “Gangotri starts where Ganga ends. The entire star cast is the same; it stars Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Manoj Tiwari, Bhumika Chawla, Aruna Irani and Kunal Singh. I started shooting both film at the same time.” An interesting fact about this sequel is that, Gangotri will have glimpses of Ganga before the start of the movie. “Recaps have been shown only in tele-serial but you will see a recap for the first time in a film. We will show a five minutes recap of Ganga before Gangotri starts so that those who haven’t seen Ganga will get a glimpse of the movie.” Being confident about his film, Sawant informs that Gangotri has shaped well. “I expect the film to do well just like my first film. This will surely click with the audiences. We have completed the shooting as well as the post production work of the film.” Sawant’s debut film received three awards and was highly appreciated by the Bhojpuri audiences. “I want all kinds of audiences to see my film not just Bhojpuri. I want my Gangotri to reach out to wide audiences so I am going to release both these films at the same time.” When asked about his future projects, Sawant replies, “I am working on a script. If Gangotri works, I would make one more film in both languages. But everything depends on this film.” Sawant plans to release Gangotri this October. Про предстоящий релиз Амита - фильм бходжпурского режиссера Дипака Саванта. в прошлом году Дипак выпустил самый крупный хит в прошлом году в бходжпурском кинематогрфе Ganga, теперь он готов выпустить его сиквел, Gangotri, и на бходжпури, и на хинди. В фимльме снова участвуют Амит, Хема Малини, Манодж Тивари, Бхумика Чавла, Аруна Ирани и Кунал Сингх. Фильм должен выйти на экраны в октябре.

wichy: отсюда - интервью с Амитом. "I felt comfortable doing Cheeni Kum, I felt uncomfortable doing Nishabd," said Amitabh Bachchan in a freewheeling confessional interview with Editor-in-Chief of Times Now Arnab Goswami in his weekly show Frankly Speaking. For once Big B gave a comprehensive answer to the repeated barbs of Naseeruddin Shah who has said at many an occasion of Mr Bachchan's minimal contribution to experimental or parallel cinema. "The kind of experimental cinema that Naseer talks of was perhaps a little limited as far as its box office content was concerned, therefore you tended to shy away from it," he said. In one of the most comprehensive interviews with the doyen of Indian cinema, IndiaFM brings you the first part of this absorbing conversation that you can watch on Times Now this Sunday (9th September). Beet gayee so baat gayee….Hmmmm….Time to get hooked on to the magic…. Arnab: So much is happening actually, when one looks back since we last met, the last eight months since we last met on the sets of this show, new films, a lot of events in your personal life, Abhi-Ash wedding… Amitabh: that's right. Arnab: And professionally you are doing newer things. How do you look back? What's been for you the happiest moment, if there's not a…. Amitabh: Well… if you are gonna push me to the wall then I'll say obviously the wedding of the son…but you know this is life, everyday there is something happening and … and when you are in a, in a, profession which is high profile….then something or the other keeps happening this is life.. Arnab: are you working harder today than you worked earlier? Amitabh: I… don't know.. Arnab: Like pushing yourself? Amitabh: I don't know, I …have never considered using any yardstick to measure whether I'm working harder or less, but let's say that I'm occupied with whatever I'm doing, my day is full and I like it that way, it's something to look forward to every morning. I don't know anything else so I'm happy that I have a few films. And I enjoy going to the studio and attempting new things or whatever is offered to me, it's nice… Arnab: You know, it was said…This comment had been once made by Naseeruddin Shah & he'd said that why has experimental movies, why have they not happened? And he had been quoted as saying that the one person who'd ruled the film industry-Amitabh Bachchan-in the 70'-80's even after that…didn't make an attempt to do it. But now the kind of movies you're doing are both experiments and they are unconventional. Are you doing it consciously Mr. Bachchan? Amitabh: Firstly I'm happy, you know… that somebody is noticing that there is a change in our format and in our attempt to do something different, but yes, Naseer is right that in the early years there was this accusation that was leveled not just to me but to all the actors in the mainstream commercial, escapist cinema who had a following, who had a certain profile with the audience and they were often said look, you know you have the strength of the audience and the box-office to be able to make better cinema and therefore why aren't you attempting it? There were several factors I think that go into this…I think when you initially start off work as an artist the main desire is to get some work, to get the work, you want to succeed to get some more work and you realise that what succeeds is what does well at the box office. The kind of experimental cinema that Naseer talks of was perhaps a little limited as far as its box office content was concerned, therefore you tended to shy away from it, but yes after having achieved a certain degree of recognition this should have been encouraged again but I think, by that time there are several other factors that are working let us say a artist like…a prominent star whose stayed number one for several in the box office he agrees to do something experimental in nature, Will the people who are connected with him and in its business treat it in the same tense or with the same attitude that the actors going to that is really the question? I think not because, a lot of commerce writes ahead of and behind this object of 'Great Box Office success' and sometimes it can be very misleading to one. And sometimes it can be very misleading to work. I could be the number one seller at the box office but when I make an experimental film I could be making several considerations for the execution of that project. not necessarily not in the mind s of people who are exploiting it or selling it and that is the danger we feel .cause we never know what the distributor is paying for it and how is he recovering that money and how is he is further selling it and what the exhibitors are paying it and what are the expectations just because there is a cerebral star in it. He may think that this is another movie with lots of song and drama, the usual box office drama content in it, but may end up not finding none of it is there and therefore loose. but he may decide or configure his commercials of that project through that thinking that sort of pre-rights a commercial actor and therefore sometimes there are unfortunate happenings there can be huge losses just because he has bought a part of it thinking this is going to be a commercial film but in fact it is something middle of the road or even less.. Arnab: But when you are pushing the boundaries because you're recent films the themes themselves Mr. Bachchan, Nishabd and Cheeni Kum they are so unconventional, doesn't the fear of – that I will not be accepted by the masses or by the audiences not in Mumbai or in Delhi but in Gorakhpur in this role, doesn't that worry you? Amitabh: See….when you are playing the leading man then you carry the onus of the birth not the success or failure of that film as well. That's the time to worry and perhaps that's the period of my career where this could have been legitimately argued. But I think that now that I'm 65 and I play character roles and the onus of the box-office doesn't entirely restrict me then I think it makes it much more easier to take these decisions. Also the fact because I'm 65 I obviously can't do something young therefore there are really no options and if there are enterprising people in Cheeni Kum, Nishabd or the villain in AAG, Ram Gopal Verma's Aag or several others that are being considered then its very fortunate for me as an actor cause I'm being tested and I'm being examined all over again and the enthusiasm levels to do something or attempt something becomes different all the more potent. Arnab: Can you pick for our viewers the two most, as you say the actor has to be tested from these two films Nishabd and Cheeni Kum, two moments where you felt you were being tested? Amitabh: Yeah…I think both of them in their own way were great challenges, I felt Nishabd was more challenging, I felt comfortable doing Cheeni Kum, I felt uncomfortable doing Nishabd, not uncomfortable morally or ethically or according to social standards. Not because of moral or social angle behind the film. It was a tougher role it was pushing me into areas where I had not been before and therefore trying to think more and wonder and that's what being in a film is all about. if I can have a sleepless night before going on to the sets next morning and I have got butterflies in my stomach next morning then it is worth going to work next morning then it is the test of the examination that going to follow. For an artist I believe that's very important, you need to keep evolving you need to keep going into areas which you haven't been before otherwise it becomes very routine and that would be a very sad state of affairs Arnab: Even more important than box-office success? Amitabh: I think somewhere you need to have mental balance. You need the box-office success to continuously be at work but if you are going to be doing work which is routine then as an artist you are going to be dishonest and may be cheating your profession. Ideally of course I would like to be working in really creative films, testing my creativity everyday and seeing that the box office is also sent across outside the pavilion…hitting the numbers are concerned, but that does not always happen, I think you take some of the good with the bad and some of the bad with the good. Arnab: If you look at it Mr. Bachchan you have always been criticized. Is it because of your stature? Is it because of the things that you do? Amitabh: I actually should be asking this question. It is usually the media that asks. Two things come to my mind when you put a question like that… one is… is there some kind of dissatisfaction you have towards me as a human being as an individual as an artist as a person… a misfit… whatever… the frills that come with being a celebrity or is it that you need to say this because it is going to make good copy because I think this is where the differentiation will come in and you will have to decide it you want the copy or you will be able to say the truth which is which could well be… that ya … we live in a society where there are just very few limited number of people who are celebrities worthy of being talked about and written about and therefore lets keep writing or attacking them because that's making good copy for us. Arnab: Well I remember a quote of yours that you gave in an interview in 1999 where you said 'I am never a confident about my career at any stage' and you went on to say that 'everyday I think it is the end of the world and my career is over'. Why would Amitabh Bachchan say something like that? Amitabh: That's because you have attached a certain renowned to the name Amitabh Bachchan. It's just another name, and it's just another individual, and just another human being who is in the profession and in a medium which is perhaps a little larger than life. All the things that we do are bigger than life and larger in perspective and more heroic and a lot more worthy of adulation and therefore some of that or a very large quantity of that comes on to us. Arnab: Do you think that Amitabh Bachchan who it is said was rejected by the All India Radio. Does you mind go back to that Amitabh Bachchan? Can you just tell us a little bit more from where you started from because everyone knows, everyone knows your story of coming to Mumbai… Amitabh: Somebody like Arnab: What pushes you? Amitabh: What somebody like you reminds me of the incident then I will think of it. I don't think about it everyday. I think it will be ridiculous to think about it. I think what happened in the past should be treated like that and move on. It would be terrible I think to dwell in what's happened in the past because it's not gonna get you anywhere. It's happened, it's happened you move on. Beet gayee so baat gayee… famous line of my father's verse. But what pushes you is my work. And the fact that I get to play somebody different every morning. I hopefully try to convince other people of that capability of mine and come home hopefully spent the energy that I may have spent putting across this character. Hopefully to have created something new and different. Hopefully to have people some of more discerning people to be able to appreciate that and live again for tomorrow. Arnab: Did AAG present you this opportunity? Amitabh: AAG is… Aag is… Arnab: Did it give you butterflies in your stomach? Amitabh: Yes everyday and it still does… in the throes of its release. It is a negative role entirely negative role these are some of the fears and dangers that we have if people identify you a great noble, dignified, heroic human being who has done all kinds of nice things in all his movies and now suddenly playing a terrible villain I look upon it as a test. The audience sometimes looks upon it as- How could he do it?

wichy: отсюда - интервью с Амитом по поводу нового фильма The Last Lear и актрис, с которыми Амит снимался Another new director, Rituparno Ghosh. I believe the last stint in Mussourie was loads of fun. Do share. Ritu is new to me as a director but not to the film world. He is a sensitive accomplished and acclaimed director. Intelligent and forthright. The entire making of 'Lear' was exciting and fun- filled. Which really is such a clichéd remark. Everyone says the same for all their films. Mussoorie was a five- day schedule, completed in just two dates. It is a rarity, but when it happens, it can only be fun. You even wrote the Hindi dialogues for a scene. Have you lately become more participative? I would like to believe that I have always been participative in all my films. I wrote the scene because Ritu's Hindi is somewhat rusty. And it wasn't as though I did something historic. All I was asked to do was to translate from English to Hindi. Anyone can do that. People compared your character in Cheeni Kum with Nishabd because they saw you paired with a younger woman in both. The only similarity is the age difference between the two main characters. Nishabd was a serious introspective look at an odd situation and its repercussions,. Cheeni.. was situationally light- hearted and hopefully funny, with tongue firmly in cheek. I think the director Balki deliberately kept himself, the screenplay and the performances, away from the norm, even though situations may have warranted it. It was just another love story, except the boy is 64, the girl is 32 and her father 58 !! Audiences specially women absolutely rejected the generation-challenged relationship in Nishabd. Was the vehemence of the rejection a shock to you? Do you feel audiences aren't ready for radical shifts in the depiction of romantic relaitonships? Audiences are always right. If they rejected something we must respect that. No the vehemence of the rejection was not a shock, because there were a whole lot of very welcome and congratulatory reactions. I stored them on my phone. They serve me whenever I need an adrenaline rush. I don't know if audiences are ready or not for such films. From the box office results perhaps not, but for me as an artist it gave me tremendous creative satisfaction, on a par with what I experienced in Black. How different is the experience of working with a younger actress opposite you like Rani in Black, Jiah in Nishabd and Tabu... No difference at all. Should there be any ?? We all play our parts as directed. We all mingle and enjoy the experience of working together. We share our creativity and look forward to enjoying its results. Tabu, I feel, is one of our outstanding actors. I couldn't agree with you more. She is simply exemplary. She works from within. Nothing that comes out from her as a performance is without conviction. She brings the emotions from the bottom of her heart. A keen observer can actually see the emotion building up within, welling up in the eyes, before it pours out from her face and mouth. Simply extraordinary! How were your screen dynamics with her? My screen dynamics with her are an embarrassment to me. Because you simply continue to admire her wide- mouthed, often forgetting that you are in the frame as well. In fact her personal demeanour is no different either. It's such a delight to be in her company.

Amita: Амитабх -это наше ВСЁ!! Сегодня ему исполнилось 65 лет ! Дай Бог ему здоровья ,энергии ,новых потрясающих ролей ,душевной гармонии ,и внукофф ,красивых и талантливых

Succub: С юбилеем! Долгих лет жизни!

wichy: Отсюда The 65th birthday would rank as the Big B's quietest yet. His son was shooting in Namibia for Goldie Behl's Drona and his daughter-in-law was wrapping up the Pink Panther in Boston while wife Jaya was down with a bout of flu. Added to these problems was the constant worry of having a severely ill mother on his hands. Says a close friend of Mr Bachchan, "He wrapped up his shooting by evening on the eve of his birthday and headed straight for the hospital to be with his mom. That's where he brought in his birthday. Being with his mother gave him an inner strength and tranquility that only a devoted son knows about. And sons, let me tell, don't come any more devoted than this one." Mr Bachchan himself, bogged down by family, media and legal pressures politely refused to do interviews this birthday. "What's there to say? A birthday is like any other day for me. Yes, friends, fans and supporters make it a very special day for me. I accept their good wishes with tremendous humility and gratitude." Пишут, что свой день варенья Амит-джи решил провести очень тихо - сын на съемках в Намибии, невестка на съемках в Бостоне, жена приболела - простыла, чтоль... Поэтому накануне дня рождения Амит закончил съемки и поехал в больницу к матери. В этом году он даже отказался давать интервью по этому поводу, сказал, что это для него обычный день, хотя друзья, поклонники делают его особенным, и он с благодарностью принимает все их добрые пожелания.

Soniya: Amita : Сегодня ему исполнилось 65 лет ! оно канеш праздник, но прочла это и так грустно стало... повеяло артритом и виагрой скажите шо-нить жЫзнерадостное

4837464: Soniya : скажите шо-нить жЫзнерадостное сегодня ДР моего племянника - первый!

(некоторые) ну и старость можно... любить. я так чувствую. много там и хорошего.

Soniya: 4837464 назначаю тебя главным оптимистом если философски, то да. у погоды нет плохой природы... ну вы поняли. а если практицки - то страшно. хотя когда мы видели АБ в последний раз он был вполне себе живчик. мне бы так в 65.

Soniya: и ЗЫ - осень это не старость... это зрелость. старость это зима. а кто у нас любит зиму?

Lo: Soniya : старость это зима. а кто у нас любит зиму? Встречала многих - кто любит! И в снежки, и на санках, и на коньках! зы: кончай депремировать...

4837464: Soniya : осень это не старость... это зрелость. старость это зима. при теперешней продолжительности жизни... 65 это не старость, это зрелость. 84 - это старость и то еще не конец куплета. кончай пугаться и нас запугивать заодно :) моя рОдная бабушка в 65 еще с нами купалась и на лыжах ходила. да.

wichy: Soniya : а кто у нас любит зиму? Я, я люблю!!! И осень, и зиму люблю. Терпеть ненавижу весну и не особо люблю лето :) А вообще - да, главное - отношение к жизни. Вон вчера на фламенке - руководитель выплясывал. По слухам, дядьке за 70. Знаете, что он там вытворял? Хрен кто из молодых повторит. И супруга его - ну королева, любой молодой фору даст, любо-дорого на тетеньку посмотреть, выложу фотки. Так что не депрессуйте раньше времени - старость наступает, когда пропадает интерес к жизни. С некоторыми это случается с 25, а с некоторыми - никогда :)

queen79: wichy : старость наступает, когда пропадает интерес к жизни. С некоторыми это случается с 25, а с некоторыми - никогда :) Золотые слова... Думаю, что имениннику сегодняшнему это уже точно не грозит, по крайней мере не так скоро.. 65 лет! фигня какая!! Жизнь бьет ключом у него,лишь бы не по голове...

wichy: отсюда Over the years, Amitabh Bachchan has made his characters immortal. And never mind his age and experience, the actor is still experimenting. He is playing different kinds of roles and also appearing in interesting ‘get ups’ that fit his character to the T. Bachchan played a royal guard in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Eklavya - The Royal Guard. In his more recent Nishabd , he dared to romance a 16-year old. Similarly in Cheeni Kum he played a 64-year-old chef who is elder than his prospective father-in-law. He sportingly sported a pony tail, and wore those funky glasses that made quite a style statement. Also, in RGV Ke Aag he played a dreaded gangster Babban – the very filthy, nose-digging, negative character. After playing such varied roles, Amitabh now is all set to play gambler in Leena Yadav’s forthcoming film titled Teen Patti . Leena, who directed Sunjay Dutt and Aishawarya Rai in Shabd , is happy to have an actor like Amitabh Bachchan in her second film. Produced by Ambika A Hinduja, who also produced Being Cyrus , Teen Patti will have Bachchan in a completely different avatar. When contacted, Leena confirms, “Yes I will be doing a film called Teen Patti with Amitabh Bachchan. I can’t talk about the film as it’s in its initial stages and it’s too early to say anything.” It is believed that the film will commence some time next year. Now, let’s wait and watch how Amitabh experiments with his character and look this time round. Will he gel his hair behind in ekdum casino gambler style, or what? Let your imagination take over… Амит выступит вновь в абсолютно новом имидже в фильме Лины Ядав - режиссера Shabd. Фильм называется Teen Patti, и Амит будет играть профессионального игрока. Продюсирует фильм тот же продюсер, который продюсировал Being Cyrus. Фильм должны снять в следующем году.

wichy: отсюда Now this is official news coming to you live from London's Odeon cinema in Leicester Square. Yesterday, (21st October, Sunday) at the Times BFI 51st London Film Festival, Rituparno Ghosh's The Last Lear was screened to packed audiences including the media, and it was none other than super star, Amitabh Bachchan who graced the occasion along with his producer. Rituparno Ghosh, the director of The Last Lear could not attend the screening because his father was not keeping well in India. Firstly, Big B answered the questions asked by the media and then saw his first English film from start to finish only coming on the stage for the one last time to reveal an answer of a question asked by one of the members sitting in the audience. In front of hundreds of people Amitabh Bachchan said that he will be a part of Vishal Bhardwaj's trilogy of Shakespearean inspired film and this time the maverick director is to cast Big B in the lead role from an adaptation of William Shakespeare's King Lear. He also added that the film will be out in 2008 and the script is currently being worked on and will get over by the end of this year. Read this space tomorrow to know more on what Amitabh Bachchan had to say about his role in The Last Lear at the Times BFI's 51st London Film Festival В Лондонском кинотеатре Odeon вчера прошел показ фильма Ритупарно Гхоша The Last Lear - в рамках Times BFI 51st London Film Festival. На показе присутствовал Амитабх, который играет в фильме главную роль. Отвечая на вопросы прессы и зрителей, амитабх подтвердил, что он участвует в проекте Вишала Бхарадваджа - последнем фильме из трилогии, вдохновленной Шекспиром. На этот раз это будет фильм-адаптация по пьесе "Король Лир". Фильм выйдет в 2008, работа над сценарием будет закончена к концу этого года. Потрясная новость!!!

4837464: wichy : вчера прошел показ фильма wichy : Фильм выйдет в 2008, работа над сценарием будет закончена к концу этого года. я что-то совсем запуталась. фильм готов или не готов? или будет еще один Лир?

wichy: 4837464 : я что-то совсем запуталась. фильм готов или не готов? The Last Lear Ритупарногхошевский готов - но это не про шекспировского короля, это про актера, этого короля играющего... А Бхарадвадж задумал адаптацию самой пьесы, и Амит в его адаптации короля лира и будет играть.

ЯНА: wichy : На этот раз это будет фильм-адаптация по пьесе "Король Лир". Фильм выйдет в 2008, работа над сценарием будет закончена к концу этого года. ...ну вот... и на Шекспира замахнулись...wichy : Амит в его адаптации короля лира и будет играть. млин..только о себе и думает.А как потом Шах его будет играть через несколько лет а ?

wichy: ЯНА : ...ну вот... и на Шекспира замахнулись.. Ну дык не первый раз... третий ужо. Руку-то Бхарадвадж набил.. :) ЯНА : как потом Шах его будет играть через несколько лет а ? Ведь опять скажут - ремейк... ну не виноват же Шах, что Амит все хорошие роли переиграл и его не дождался...

ЯНА: wichy : Ведь опять скажут - ремейк конечно скажут...а Шах опять выкрутится и скажет,что дескать с детства любил Шекспира и Баччана...и наконец то мечта сбылась!!Бедный Амит-столько поколений кормит,а благодарность-сомнительная.

Remita: wichy : амитабх подтвердил, что он участвует в проекте Вишала Бхарадваджа - последнем фильме из трилогии, вдохновленной Шекспиром. На этот раз это будет фильм-адаптация по пьесе "Король Лир". Шикарно!!!!!

wichy: отсюда - интервью с Амитом There was no red carpet, a few media people and hardly any one around in the busiest place in Central London's Leicester Square where the screening of The Last Lear was about to take place as a part of the 51st London Film Festival. But it took less than a minute for the area outside Odeon cinema to be mobbed by his fans screaming for his one look. The dull and dreary afternoon suddenly turned out to be an exciting one as the one and only, Bollywood's biggest super-star Amitabh Bachchan graced the occasion. Wearing his suede black over coat with a pink shirt and a tie, he came... (in Odeon cinema)...he saw (the film)... and he conquered (the hearts of his innumerable fans). I spoke to the living legend for a brief five minutes before the curtains lifted. What fresh new outlook has The Last Lear brought in your film career as of now? The fact that it gave me an opportunity to work in English, an opportunity to recite Shakespeare on screen, something that we all have grown up with during our education process, the fact that this is more artistic cinema and not the commercial escapist cinema that I've been associated with since last forty years and the fact that I'm working with an extremely talented, sensitive and an aesthetic director, Rituparno Ghosh. I'm very happy with this association and happy with this product and I hope we do many more films together. Do you see a bright future for yourself by doing English films? I don't see or predict my future. You, the media and my audiences are the ones who make and break our future. An actor's work is to simply work and your work is to simply appreciate or criticize our work. If you think that my work is good and is worth an applause then you will yourself make my future bright. But how satisfied are you today by attending the screening of your first English Film? An actor should never be satisfied. The day I am satisfied, I will stop working. I think every actor should strive to work to achieve perfection rather than achieve satisfaction. How different was it to recite your lines in English compared to your usual Hindi dialogues? I think the medium is the same. Cinema is a universal language. But yes, it's a new experience for all of us. It has been challenging, different but exciting. We are seeing you a lot more in the UK now-a-days. Any plans of settling down here? No not at all. It's just that work brings me here. I was here a few months ago for the IIFA's and now for the screening of my film The Last Lear at the London Film Festival. Hopefully there will be many more occasions. We hear that in one of the scenes from the film where you are shown drunk, you talk like a Shakespearean actor. Are you so inspired by Shakespeare? I had to; I had to get inspired from William Shakespeare. My role demanded it. But this is the aspect of us Indians. When an Indian talks to a Britisher, his accent changes like that of a Britisher, when he talks to an American, he brings in the American twang and when he is with an Italian, he tries to speak in Italian accent. That's the quality an Indian possesses. But when he is drunk, he is back to his Bengali, Gujarati or Punjabi. That's what I brought in The Last Lear. Did you get inspired from any veteran stage actor in Indian cinema to portray your role of Harry in The Last Lear? No, this is purely my own instinct. I thought that maybe because Harry, that's me, has worked on the stage and Shakespeare, he would always want to be slightly over the top when he spoke to anyone. Thus, he behaves like a stage artist who speaks Shakespearean language. With so many films you're doing, isn't it right in saying that the angry young man is getting younger day by day? No I'm not. In fact the angry young man is getting older. I've just moved into sixty six. (laughs)

wichy: отсюда The Big B returned to India earlier this week from the London Film festival where he was greeted to a standing ovation. He's now shooting for two back-to-back films Bhootnath and Alladdin where he plays a ghost and djinn. Says the Big B, “I am shooting for Bhootnath now, which completes by the middle of November. I start with Sujoy Ghosh's Alladdin soon after, as also Shoojit Sarkar's tentatively titled Shoebite, a working title just yet, and Leena Das's Teen Patti. All these will be on till December." Big B then starts work on his first full-fledged international project. "From January 2008 I'll be working with Mira Nair, Warner Bros and Johnny Depp on Shantaram.” For some time now, the rumour mills have been insisting that the Big B is going bald for Mira Nair's film. The Big B richly rubbishes the rumours. "This is completely untrue! I've no knowledge of any such requirement for Mira's film, nor have I spoken to anyone about it. When I heard about this I spoke to Mira, and she rubbished it. She told me she hasn't even envisaged me as bald for Shantaram let alone share it with the media which is so busy imagining me bald through morphed pictures on the net, etc. But sorry I'm not obliging." After Shantaram the Big B has Pocket Maar with Ravi Chopra. "Ram Gopal Varma, Balki, Prasoon Pandey, Deepa Mehta and a few others are under consideration," he concludes. Баччан в начале недели возвратился с Лондонского кинофестиваля. Теперь он снимется друг за другом в двух фильмах - Bhootnath и Alladdin, где играет соответственно призрака и джинна. Съемки Bhootnath завершатся в середине ноября, и сразу после этого он начнет сниматься в Alladdin а затем - в фильме Shoebite, и в фильме Лины Дас Teen Patti. Все это продлится до середины Декабря. Затем Амит начнет работать над своим первым настоящим международным проектом - с января 2008 г. он будет сниматься в фильме Миры Наир, Уорнер Бразерс и Джонни Депа - Shantaram. Бриться налысо, вопреки слухам, Баччан не будет. Затем будет Pocket Maar - фильм Рави Чопры. Проекты РГВ, Балки, Прасуна Пандея, Дипы Мехты и несколько других пока обговариваются.

wichy: отсюда - эксклюзивное интервью с Амитом с indiafm. He is known as the Big B of the Indian Cinema. If he was born before the invention of the alphabets ABCD, we are sure that the alphabets would have started with BACD…such is his impact not only on the Indian cinema, but also on the international scene. Bachchan was on BBC Radio recently, where has was interviewed and he spoke not just Bollywood, but, much beyond that! Presented here are the transcripts of this exiting in depth interview with none other than the Big B of Bollywood! Over to you Sir…. When will you be acting with Dharmendra again? You have some good movies together like Ram Balram and Chupke Chupke. That is an interesting question; we were neighbors, Dharamji and myself. And we are very close friends but we haven't had an opportunity for a very long time. And I would like to believe that this request goes out to many producers out in India, hopefully they would do something. I will be delighted to come back with him. Your eyes sort of reacted at the idea of you'll to come back together again. Ya, it's always good to know even at this age, we have few fans who want to see us together. And it's wonderful to work with friend and a great human being. When you look back specifically, at the time of Sholay, would it have achieved what it did if you hadn't been in it, after all it took some convincing for the Sippies to give you the role? Ya, it did, Sholay would have succeeded even without me or any of the others. Story itself was so strong, the way it was made. It was just superb so I say that all the time even for films like Deewaar and some of the other successful films, it's the script and the writing, the way it's made that matters. I think the actors just only fulfill their duty and I don't think they all have the power to alter the fate of the film, purely because who they are and their presences in the film. It's the strength of the film that really matters and I would like to believe that Sholay would have succeeded without the actors that they did have. What about the Aag, is it true that you won't happy with the Aag? Well, Aag, I think its not gone down very well and there are several reason for this and it is pointless discussing them now because the film is over and done with, but I had a good time playing the film. I was very keen to do Gabbar's role, when it was first narrated to me; I wasn't allowed to do that then and now I was and now it was not accepted by the people so u just go along with what the people want to see. It was interesting to play villain and try do all kinds of nasty thing on the screen, and played and been a goody throughout my career. Do you think, remake of Sholay should never have been considered. Well, now when you look back at it the answer would be 'No', but when we were are working on it we said 'why not'. We got our response from the audience and therefore that's where chapter ends. When you look back to your career, which genre do you feel changed your life and was it the angry man and what impact did that on India cinema? I really do not know, I was very keen to get a job, and I didn't know that I was creating some kind of cult figure. But this is a question that would be very adequately answered by the writers of that time. Salim Javed who wrote Zanjeer, Deewar and several other films, were of the opinion that Zanjeer came at the time when there was a lot of turmoil within the country. There was the feeling that the system perhaps was not working correctly and therefore you need one single individual to stand up and face the system and fight it. And any and everyone who did that, at that point of time became a hero. This was their reading of the situation this was not my reading. I was merely playing a role, I just happened to be around when they narrated the script. I'm happy that they thought like this, I'm happy that the film did well, I'm happy that people thought I was the impersonation of this sole character that is going to rectify the entire nation. I'm doing nothing of the sort, I merely playing a role. Similarly I think when the issue of the system and the angry young man tie-up went out of the scene and there was progress and there was economic liberalization in the country and every one was happy and had lots of money to spend so on. People wanted to see some thing light, happy, and colorful, full of romance and joy and in come this new brigade of youngsters who brought all that whether it is Shahrukh, Aamir, or Salman they continue to do that. The atmosphere in the country is now very up beat and I doubt very much if the angry young man and angry old man would be as successful. I think it is a lot to do with the temperament of the country and how wonderful that there are writers that can gauge that, push it to actor like us, and give us an opportunity to portray that. I was very keen to do Gabbar's role, when it was first narrated to me; I wasn't allowed to do that then and now I was and now it was not accepted by the people Picking from that, where you do see Indian cinema going now because lots of ambitious projects are being made these days, new technology are used, lots of tribute subjects being tackled as well and you have been in some of these projects. Having a different feel to them do you cherish this is as an actor and do you think this is right way to Indian film industry to be moving. I think any kind of challenge for any actor is always welcome; it is also very interesting to see different kinds of subjects being attempted now. We have never ever dreamt doing things like this 10-15 years ago. So it really reflects what is happening in the country and the country wants to make progress, the country wants to reject some of the old formatted kind of cinema that they are used to seeing. They where very keen to see something different as we were just saying, if the film is good irrespective of who is acting in it , it is doing well because people wanting to look at something good and different. I think the future for Indian cinema is fantastic. I think future for entire entertainment industry; there is a projection that within the next 15-20 years the entertainment and two other entities are going to be the foremost economic factors in the country. This is enormous for a cinema that was almost above 50-60 years ago. Children from good homes were not allowed to associate with cinema; I myself was not allowed to see a movie. And now you have diploma courses, you have management degrees and you have chapters in IIMs of India where they introduce you to the economic of entertainment and how to produce a film and how to manage the production company. So it has become very professional, and largely due the fact that this is indeed a replication of what is happening in the west and how the corporates of the west have developed the entertainment industry that is what we are imbibing now and that's wonderful. What do you think about the Indian cinema gaining a crossover appeal now, with you coming to the London Film Festival to launch your film and got a whole program dedicated to the Indian cinema? Do you think that things have moved on, say in last, 10- 15 years? I would have never ever dreamt that we would be welcomed in London, there would be a premiere, there would be a festival, our films would be invited, and we would be called to the BBC for the interview to talk about our films and about the characters we play. This is all very progressive. We never hoped something like this would happen but this is happening. And it shows even though people were cynical in west about the content of our cinema, because of being so escapist in nature. There has been now, within the past few years the kind of acceptance to this kind of cinema. I'm very happy that the Indian commercial cinema hasn't changed at all. It hasn't its changed its format. There are the songs and dances and I think that's what is making it even more attractive to the western audiences who were perhaps, for at least, over several year were cynical and critical of this kind of format. But, now it has become almost now acceptable form and we are really happy about it. Which is your best role till date, considering the fact that you have quite recently you have taken adventurous roles like Nishbad and Cheeni Kum, there is lot of criticism on that? All the criticisms are always fair because they come from an audience that has paid money and have gone and seen the film. It's for us to really to take up what we want to do in the film. For me, at the age of 60, you can imagine what kind of role I'm going to get! I can't romance with young girl even though I did in Nishabd which I feel was an unusual freaky situation. I think what went wrong with Nishabd was the fact the people looked at it social and moral issue rather than challenge for an actor and for a director to make the film on a subject which could be as sensitive as this film. And that's what went wrong in the film as they seem to idolize their leading men and heroes. And they want all heroes to do right things in life which is good. But we are also actors and sometimes, we do want challenge in different situation. I took Nishabd as a challenge. I personally believe that RGV made an excellent film. You always talk about you wanting to takes up films that challenge you. What is the next stage of your challenge? I don't know as I don't plan. These things just happen. The other day, Mira Nair came across to me and said she wanted me to do her film and asked me to read the enormous book. It was not a deliberately planned step. Why did you never embrace Hollywood sooner? Because, such a thing never came my way. I think that socially, it would be difficult for Hollywood to accept an Indian in the scenario of American films, but, as they say, time is the best healer. What's your take on your daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai, and her Hollywood progress? She has worked in lot of films and her celebrity status started from something that's international. She has already had her presence felt and it seems only obvious for people in western world to look at her and give an opportunity to work with them as she decided to work. Which era do you think, would best define as pinnacle of Indian cinema? I hope that there is no any such era because, as I said earlier that it's very stifle and not progressive at all. I hope every era makes some addition and some progress, which adds something to the industry, and in that way any industry would grow. The other thing is people connected with a particular era always consider that it be best time of their life. I hope this continues because this depicts progress. I'm sure that Abhishek would say that this period, that this decade is best because he started working and he is associated with it. I would have said these years before, but I'm a little different because I happened to have completed 3 decades already. So, it's tough for me to say which decade is best for me, and I like to associate with present generation and would like to continue that.

Lo: wichy : он участвует в проекте Вишала Бхарадваджа - последнем фильме из трилогии, вдохновленной Шекспиром. На этот раз это будет фильм-адаптация по пьесе "Король Лир". Мне сразу же "Ран" Куросавы вспомнился... То же адаптация "Короля Лира", но на японской почве.. Мне фильм очень понравился, помницца.. Это один из лучших вариантов "Короля Лира", ну , а теперь уже и просто классика мирового кино. Интересно, что у индийцев выйдет.

wichy: отсюда Sanjay Dutt's loss is Amitabh Bachchan's gain. He has sung the title song of his forthcoming film Aladdin which was originally to be sung by Sanjay Dutt. According to our source, since Sanjay was busy with his court proceedings the makers had no option but to go ahead and get Big B to croon instead. Says a source from the production unit, "The title song of Aladdin is sung by Big B which was actually supposed to be sung by Sanjay Dutt. But since Sanjay was occupied with his court and jail visits, we got Big B to sing the song. The director couldn't postpone the project any further." The shooting of Aladdin has begun with Reitesh Deshmukh who reportedly plays Aladdin. Miss Sri Lanka, Jacqueline Fernandes, has been roped in to play the character of Jasmine. Initially the role was to be played by Ayesha Takia. The shooting of the film has been going on in full swing at a location in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Says our source, "A special team of graphic designers are flown in form Hollywood to work on the special effects and graphics of this mega-budget film. Big B, who plays the genie in the film, will join the sets very soon. Амит исполнит заглавную песню в фильме Аладдин. Предполагалось, что ее будет петь Санджай Датт, но он слишком занят своими судебными делами, создатели фильма пригласили Амита, поскольку дальше откладывать фильм уже нельзя. Съемки Аладдина уже начались, Ритеш Дешмук играет главного героя, Мисс Шри Ланка Жаклин Фернандес - принцессу Жасмин (сначала предполагалось, что ее будет играть Аеша Такиа), съемки идут в Джодхпуре, Раджастан. Приглашена специальная команда дизайнеров из Голливуда, которые будут делать спецэффекты и графику для мегабюджетного фильма. Баччан играет джинна и скоро тоже присоединится к съемкам

wichy: отсюда Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has donated a fabulous selection of clothes from his personal wardrobe to Oxfam, an international aid agency, to celebrate Diwali. The clothes will be sold in an online auction on Dec 1. And in a move designed to involve more of Britain's estimated three million Asians in charity work -- especially during festive times -- the Big B is calling on them to follow his lead. The Bollywood legend was inspired to donate around 50 items of clothing, including embroidered shirts, suits and jackets to the aid agency after visiting an Oxfam shop in London earlier this year. Oxfam is hoping to raise money from the sale of his items in order to fund the development work that the organisation does worldwide. "I urge everyone to come forward and contribute very generously to this noble cause," Bachchan said. "Diwali is traditionally a time for thinking of those in need -- and of getting rid of old clothes and buying new ones and we are hoping Mr. Bachchan's donation will inspire many Hindus, Jains and Sikhs to donate their clothes to their local Oxfam shops and buy fun Diwali gifts from its Unwrapped catalogue," Oxfam said. Oxfam Unwrapped offers gifts that have been identified by the people that Oxfam works with around the world. They have told Oxfam what gifts they need to make the biggest difference in working themselves out of poverty. Gifts include items such as fertiliser (£38), seeds (£10), goats (£25), and toilets (£50). More than 1.2 million gifts have been bought since the Oxfam Unwrapped was launched in 2004, supporting people in 49 countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan. "It is a huge honour for Oxfam to have been given these donations by Amitabh Bachchan, and this generosity underlines why he has maintained such enormous popularity for more than 30 years. By donating his clothes Big B is helping Oxfam to make a huge difference in tackling poverty, suffering and injustice around the world," said Pushpanath Krishnamurthy of Oxfam. "We can all do the same at Diwali and by buying Diwali gifts from Oxfam Unwrapped too, we can bring the light of hope to even more people," he said. Big B's clothes will be exhibited in Oxfam shops so the public has a chance to see first-hand the items the Bollywood legend has donated. Амит пожертвовал часть своего гардероба в пользу Oxfam - международного агентства помощи. Одежда будет продана на он-лайн аукционе 1 декабря. Так что если кто-то хочет обзавестись чем-то "с барского плеча" - не провороньте

wichy: отсюда Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Diwali will most probably be a quiet affair for the Bachchan family with the condition of Teji Bachchan, mother of megastar Amitabh Bachchan, continuing to remain "critical but stable". The 92-year-old Teji is in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Lilavati Hospital, Bandra, where she was shifted Wednesday. T eji has been in the hospital for the past 10 months for treatment of age-related health problems. Owing to her poor health, she could not attend the wedding of grandson Abhishek with Aishwarya on April 20. The couple had gone to the hospital to seek her blessing soon after the wedding ceremony. Since Wednesday, a host of VVIPs, family friends, politicians and Bollywood personalities have been streaming in to visit Teji. Apart from Amitabh, his brother Ajitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya, and Tina Anil Amabani came to visit Teji. In 2004 and 2006, Teji had spent long spells in the hospital. She has been kept there to ensure round-the-clock expert health care Состояние мамы Амита Теджи Баччан по-прежнему остается "критическим, но стабильным". 92-летняя Теджи была переведена в палату интенсивной терапии больницы Лилавати в эту среду.

Remita: Aamir should see his own work: Amitabh Bachchan Subhash K Jha Catches The Big B In An Uncharacteristically Outspoken Mood. Last week you saw Sanjay Bhansali's Saawariya. What did you think of your Black director's efforts this time? Saawariya was poetry on celluloid. An exquisitely presented Broadway-styled musical set within Indian sentiments. It boldly defied the routine format of escapist commercial fare …. a malaise that all our films have come to be so doggedly accused of. It's daring and original and with such a high quotient of aesthetics, beauty and form! Why do you think it was panned by a section of critics? It quite unwittingly got caught in media hyperbole – the strength, might and penetrative influence of which formed viewers' opinion before they had barely stepped out to see the film. But the two young stars were a breath of fresh air. Ranbir is spontaneous, original and so free of given encumbrances. For my Black director and the conductor of this exquisite symphony, I shall repeat what I wrote to him after seeing the film. He's a genius, will always remain a genius. Ever brilliant. Often misunderstood. You were a part a small part of the other Diwali release Om Shanti Om. What did you think of the film's efforts to satirize the Hindi mainstream cinema of the 1970s, an era that largely belonged to you? Shah Rukh called me to Om Shanti Om's trial a few days before the release. It was great fun. A tongue -in –cheek satire constructed around the film industry, adrenaline- pumping, young, a Magic- Mountain joy- ride. I told Shah Rukh I was apprehensive about the audience catching on to the subtle digs on the film fraternity and its happenings. But post- release, it has worked and washed away all apprehensions. And Deepika Padukone? Deepika was statuesque regal and endearing. Shah Rukh was competent as always. But I keep telling him, he was best in Swades and in portions of Kabhi Alvidaa Na Kehna. The depiction of the 70's was carefully researched and the ambience played to the galleries u The sarcasm and humour very 2007. That's how this generation communicates, it was bound to catch their fancy. As for the 1970s belonging to me, eras never belong to any actor or star. Cinema does. Aamir Khan has made some harsh comments on Black, saying the film is insensitive and manipulative. Aamir is a free individual in a free society. He has the freedom to express his opinions. I cannot understand why he finds the film 'insensitive and manipulative'. All story- telling, at times, tends to touch areas which are 'sensitive'. They could have been done to achieve dramatic impact, emotional expression or effective endings. Remember, we as film makers, dwell almost unabashedly on that unwritten mantra of bringing poetic justice in our stories. That has been the most remarkable quality inhabiting the reason behind the popularity of Indian Cinema. Indeed any popular cinema. It becomes imperative therefore for certain aberrations in justice and human sensitivities to occur, before a resolution can be introduced to end the proceedings. Please continue. You see,we need to finish the film at some point of time, hopefully within 3 hours and to demonstrate at the end of it, that poetic justice was indeed delivered. Else we would be waiting for a lifetime, or several lifetimes for it to occur.It's required therefore, to put in the insensivity to restore sensitivity. We've to put in the violence to show its presence and then to overcome it to show its futility. Would the Ramayan be the same without Ravan? We repeatedly, year after year, burn the effigy of Ravan during Ramlila to stress the victory of good over evil. It would not happen if there was no evil in the world. I believe it was the insensivity of certain portions of the film Black which were necessary in making it such a sensitive film. What about Aamir's opinion that Black was manipulative? 'Manipulative' …hmmm… the clever and sometimes devious means of controlling or influencing people, is also an accepted ingredient in a film. We need the attention of the audience towards the product. We need to sufficiently influence them in order for them to remain attracted to the product till the last. If not for a lifetime, at least for the duration of the film. So in a sense, every film is manipulative. If you know within the first few minutes of a film the villainous nature of a character, why wait till the climax, a few hours away, to straighten him out? But a screenplay is built to envelope a beginning, a middle and an end, in order to have a respectable story. It is an existing form, acknowledged the world over through centuries of exhaustive writing. Aamir seems unhappy with this traditional way of establishing character and narrative mood. If Aamir is unhappy with this, let him demonstrate otherwise. I would be keen and anxious to educate myself on any prospective change that he might introduce to cinema. With due respect, all the films that he features in and that I have had the great pleasure in watching, have all adhered to the very qualities that he dislikes in Black. From using the distinct handicap, or to be politically correct, challenged condition, of a crippled human in his cricket team in Lagaan, to the 'sensitivities' of a blind girl in Fanaa. Has Aamir expressed his misgivings about Black to you? In a private meeting after the release of Black Aamir had told me of his reservations on the film. He had not liked it. He had issues, he said. He told me the film did not work for him because he disagreed with the voice over of Rani as soon as the film started. The argument being, if the girl is deaf, dumb and blind how can she have a voice-over ! I have to date not been able to understand that remark. Maybe you can. He has also called the performances in Black "over-the-top". I'd presume that includes your towering performance. I cannot comment whether my performance was towering or not, but Aamir may be right on the other – maybe the performances did go 'over the top' of his head ! http://www.santabanta.com/cinema.asp?pid=17928

Lo: Да.. Быстрый ответ Амитабха.. Не успела я то интервью Амира прочесть... Я еще долго прикалывалась про себя, что Амир (которого я очень уважаю), посмел заикнуться про Блэк, после того как снялся в таком фильме, как Фанаа.

Lo: Хотела спросить у знатоков творческого и жизненного пути Амитабха... А каким образом он разорился тогда, в 80-90 х годах (не знаю точной даты), в общем, когда кредиторы осаждали его дом?

Soniya: Lo : каким образом с помощью своей компании ABCL. подробностей финансовых отчетов не знаю, но вроде как прогорели они, всем задолжали, ну и... как это бывает в мире бизнеса... обанкротились кароч. а если бы не, то может АБ мы бы на экране и не увидали уже

Lo: Soniya : с помощью своей компании ABCL а чем занималась его компания?

Soniya: Lo : а чем занималась его компания? продюссерством вродь. может чем-то еще. совершенно точно была связана с телеканалом TV Asia, кажется организовывала зарубежные шоу. больше не знаю

Remita: Земельные разборки Как известно, некоторое время тому назад Амитабх Баччан оказался замешанным в скандальной истории, связанной с документами на право собственности на землю. "Это дело состряпано по политическим мотивам, потому что я поддерживаю оппозиционную Samajwadi party, - сказал Баччан в одном из интервью. - Если я виноват, то сажайте меня в тюрьму". В своё время семья Баччана купила возле Пуны (в Лонавала, округ Павна Бандх) 8 га (24 акра) земли для организации сельскохозяйственной фермы. В штате Махараштра по закону владельцем обрабатываемого земельного участка может быть только крестьянин. В связи с чем Баччан заявил, что его можно считать крестьянином, так как у него уже есть один обрабатываемый земельный участок размером 2,5 бигха возле Баранбаки в деревне Даулатпур (штат Уттар Прадеш). Однако, как выяснилось, документы на право владения тем участком были оформлены поздним числом и по блату, благодаря знакомству с бывшим главным министром этого штата и таким образом, могут быть оспорены в судебном порядке. Недавно Баччан решил подарить эту землю крестьянам, чтобы избежать судебного разбирательства. 10 декабря филиал в Лакнау Высшего суда в Аллахабаде рассмотрел все обстоятельства судебного дела, связанного с приобретением земельного участка в этом штате, и принял решение закрыть это дело, тем более что Баччан добровольно отказался от всех прав собственности на эту землю.

Даже если и имела место так называемая "холодная война" между этими звездами, то сейчас она закончилась. Шахрукх зашел, чтобы узнать о здоровье АБ (недавно он повредил запястье во время съемок песни).

If there ever really was a so-called ‘cold war’ between the two topmost superstars of Bollywood, it seems to have ended now. SRK and Big B have recently been spotted enjoying each other’s company. SRK recently dropped by to meet Big B on the sets of Sujoy Ghosh’s film ‘Aladdin’ in which Bachchan plays the genie. The visit was apparently to ask the well-being of Mr. Bachchan who had recently torn a ligament in his wrist while shooting a song. Reportedly, SRK greeted Big B and inquired about his health. Thereafter, the two sat down to have a conversation. The camaraderie between the two stars was also visible on the sets of Bhootnath . Shah Rukh and Big B often played cards in between shots and shared many jokes. http://www.apunkachoice.com/scoop/bollywood/20071213-3.html

Wolf: Teji Bachchan passes away By IANS, 21 December, 2007 Mother of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Teji, on Friday died in a hospital in suburban Mumbai after prolonged illness. She was 93. Wife of Hindi literary great Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Teji was in the Lilavati Hospital for almost the whole of this year and was shifted to the ICU last month after her condition became worse. Details of the cause of her demise were not immediately available. Earlier, members of the Bachchan family, including sons Amitabh and Ajitabh, grandson Abhishek and his wife Aishwarya, arrived at the hospital after learning that her condition deteriorated. Teji's body was later taken to `Prateeksha', the Bachchans' residence in the suburbs of Mumbai. Among those, who went with the body, were actor Amitabh, brother Ajitabh, Abhishek, his wife Aishwarya and industrialist Anil Ambani. Others present at the hospital included family friends Samajwadi party leader Amar Singh and Anil Ambani, actors Danny Denzongpa, Sonali Bendre and industrialist Subroto Roy Sahara. Her last rites will be performed on Thursday. The second wife of Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Teji was an amatuer actor as well as a singer. Harivansh Rai, himself a renowned Hindi poet, died in 2003 at the age of 96. Born as Teji Suri to Punjabi parents, she married Bachchan in 1941 after the death of his first wife. She was also close to the Nehru-Gandhi family while the Bachchan family was living in Delhi in the late 1950s. Teji's illness had resulted in the Bachchan family curtailing celebrations at their Juhu residence for the past few years on occasions like Holi and Diwali.

wichy: отсюда Two production houses are at loggerheads over making the film Johnny Walker for which Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu were finalized. The project originally belongs to Percept Picture Company (PPC) that had roped in director Shoojit Sircar to direct the film. However, things began to go awry after creative differences cropped between Sircar and Shailendra Singh of PPC. Reportedly, Sircar has opted out of the PPC project, has worked on a new story on a similar subject, given it a new title, and approached UTV to produce the film. Not just the subject, Sircar even wants the same cast – Big B, Tabu and Arjun Rampal in the UTV film. This has irked Shailendra Singh who claims to own the rights to the movie. Shailendra has approached directors Nagesh Kukunoor and Madhur Bhandarkar to direct the film. A copy of the script has also been sent to Anil Kapoor with an offer for the main lead in the film. Shailendra Singh wants to start the film early next year and he is adamant that he won’t let any other production house make ‘Johnny Walker’. Officials at UTV refuse to say anything about the star cast or the story of Sircar’s film or whether it has any resemblance to PPC’s ‘Johnny Walker’ Амит и Табу снова возможно снимутся в одном фильме - Johnny Walker. Сначала проект принадлежал Percept Picture Company (PPC), которая подписала на него режиссера Шоджита Сиркара, однако между режиссером и продюсерами возникли творческие разногласия, и режиссер вышел из проекта, слепил по-бырому новый сценарий на ту же тему и предложил UTV продюсировать фильм. А заодно захотел прихватить и тот же состав - Амита, Табу и Арджуна Рампала. Предыдущий продюсер заявил права на фильм, но и режиссер не хочет сдавать своих позиций. UTV хранят молчание о проекте, как о главных актерах, так и о том, действитлеьно ли он имеет схожесть с ‘Johnny Walker’. PPC же, в свою очередь, предлагали режиссировать фильм Мадхуру Бхандаркару и Нагешу Кукунуру.

Иранчик: Амриш об Амитабхе.... выдержки из книги Амриш Пури: «Закон жизни» .... Я признаю, что ранее я был вероятно опьянен кинематографом и жаден до получения ролей, потому что я хотел Все и сразу. Но со временем я стал более разумен в выборе ролей, поскольку стал более компетентен в профессии. Это заставило меня размышлять больше над выбором сценариев, ролей, я говорил себе, «Амриш, это - коммерческое кино». Мы по этому поводу часто беседовали с Амитабхом, поскольку мы оба много размышляли над этим и наши мысли сходились. Так что я сказал ему однажды: «Yaar, какие дурацкие вещи мы иногда делаем». Он всегда советовал мне исполнять ту или иную роль или отказаться, иногда спрашивал и моего совета. Эти советы Амитабха укрепляли мою уверенность в выборе, и тогда я полностью погружался в сценарий. «Bhapaji karde raho, aye commercial cinema hai»,, это ни должно приводить тебя в отчаяние говорил он мне» Амитабх говорит на Punjabi весьма плавно. Аналогично, Амитабх как актер проделывает колоссальную интенсивную работу даже будучи дома а ни на съемочной площадке и, я знаю, сколько требуется сомнений и решений, чтобы достигнуть того совершенствования в своей профессии. Он – очень методичен при подготовке своих сцен даже в ограниченном времени и очень внимателен к малейшим деталям. Он придает огромное значение построению своей речи, сценарных диалогов и делает он это образцово. Это - одна из первых причин его последовательного успеха. Он – единственный актер, который должен быть живым примером многим новичкам, и это неукоснительно и искренне нужно принять. Хотя Амитабх – приблизительно на десять лет, моложе меня, мы приступили к фильмам в одно и то же время. И наши совместные работы приблизительно в одиннадцати фильмах принесли огромные дивиденды, поскольку фильмы становились хитами. Это действительно было огромное удовольствие, работать против него; он настолько динамичен и приятен. Между нами царило полное взаимопонимание и на съемочной площадке и в жизни. Некоторые люди из киноиндустрии дошли вплоть до дурацкого высказывания, о том что, когда Амитабх почувствовал угрозу внушительного присутствия Амджада Кхана, он помог мне добиться получения отрицательных ролей. Я конечно не предполагаю, что актер его калибра смог бы обратиться к этой мелкой тактике. И почему люди забывают, о том что ключ к роли актера - твердо зажат в кулаке режиссера? Если он так не желает, как роль антигероя может затмить роль героя? Когда люди видят меня на улице они удивляются что мой рост немного ниже чем они представляли себе, что человек, кто противостоял Амитабху на экране, на четыре дюйма короче чем он. Я говорил в таких случаях, что нужно учиться, чтобы казаться высоким. Амитабх как актер вырос на моих глазах и теперь, когда он стал суперзвездой, я также наблюдаю за ним с позиций зрителя кроме того являющийся исполнителем компании. Есть высказывание, что актер работает на себя, и это настолько очевидно, что он работал на себя, пока он не отточил свой талант до полного совершенства. Его голос, его походка, его стиль, его внешность - он не мог достигнуть этого уровня громадного достижения без такой преданности делу, поскольку его действие в фильмах становились все лучше и лучше и он не сидел, сложив руки, чтобы наслаждаться своей популярностью. Он был очень удачлив в смысле, что он получал хорошие сценарии в то время. Получал ли он их или выбирал их, на это ответить ни легко. На мой взгляд, я нахожу его наиболее трудолюбивым и прогрессивным актером в промышленности. В конечном счете, действие использует ваш интеллект, и талант и вы набираете опыт каждый раз. Вы играете различные характеры, следуя своему воображению и замыслу режиссера, но в итоге зритель видит именно Вас. И достигать четкого качества трудно. Актер, который постоянно в поиске, постоянно обучается показывает и постоянное усовершенствование его таланта, делает его образы популярными. Амитабх очень чувствителен, но только в немногих фильмах вы видите эту чувствительность Каждому актеру дается этот шанс показать чувствительность, но ни всем удается. И если моменты выполнены хорошо, даже две сцены – достаточно, чтобы зритель понял и проникся образом с экрана. Амитабх никогда не пропускал этот шанс, никогда не оставил это желание. Никакие костюмы и никакой технический прогресс ни может заменить подлинные чувства. Это должно прибывать изнутри и если бы это сделан правильный аккорд, аудитория падет е в вашим ногам. Это - реальное испытание одобрения и славы - если зрители любят фильм или актера и ни забудут его имя после фильма, это показывает, что актер работает над своим талантом, лелеет его. В нашем первом совместном фильме, Reshma aur Shera, не было сценарной связи между нами. Это взаимодействие случилось, только тогда когда я играл отрицательные роли против него. Это было десятилетием позже в 1980, когда мы снимались «Dostana», и после всякий раз, когда мы соединились в схватке друг против друга, и режиссеры стали стремится все чаще и чаще сталкивать нас на экране в конфронтационных сценах. Мы снимались в «Shahenshah» в середине 1980-ых, и здесь прямая конфронтация действовала непосредственно. И было ещё множество сцен и фильмов где мы были противопоставлены друг другу. Естественно, с актером его положения с его образом героя, люди были на его стороне, но они с нетерпением ждали именно меня в том противостоянии, ждали чтобы только я мог ответить ему. Зрители любили видеть наш конфронтационный тандем. И я, должно быть, преуспел, потому что фильм преуспел. Мы отдавали с Амитабхом все свои силы, после съемок просто валились с ног. Я использовал свои способности для исполнения роли Джекки, и он использовал свои методы, и результат был замечателен. Наиболее захватывающей сценой в фильме является диалог Амитабха. Амитабх - бесспорно фантастический актер, но он также имеет уникальное качество, редко показываемое другими актерами - он очень компетентный профессионал. Поскольку он верит в то, что он делает, он убеждает аудиторию в этом. Он замечателен в его игре все же кажется настолько легким, что иногда Вы задаетесь вопросом, действует ли он, или он живет ролью. Он настолько изящен, и он доказал это изящество явным примером. Даже после 60-ти лет, именно его врожденная способность убедительности его харизма очень сильно действует на зрителя. Фактически, на Западе, иногда актеры достигают таких вершин в этом возрасте. Шон Коннери продолжал создавать лучшие роли в своей жизни даже после пересечения шестидесятилетнего барьера. Амитабх никогда не обманывает надежд режиссера, но и он испытывал взлеты и падения в своей карьере он всегда надеялся, что поток повернет в лучшую сторону он никогда не показывал вспышек разочарования на своем лице, или ощущения поражения. Эта похвальная секретность осталась последовательной особенностью в его индивидуальности, хотя он никогда открыто не показывает, это но в душе очень раним, но он продолжает работать с тем же самым неподдельным интересом, который приносит ему успех. Его поведение – образец для подражания, испытывая в жизни ups и downs он никогда ни терял баланса, оптимизма и самообладания. Когда вещи идут против Вас, остается одна попытка держать уровень работы это устойчивость. Если вы не сумеете удержать подобного баланса, результаты будут плачевны. Даже когда Амитабх был внизу вершины славы, я был уверен что он вернется на тот уровень популярности которого он достоин. Так подсказывала мне моя интуиция, однажды, когда он с Джаей был у меня дома на званом обеде, я сказал ему: «Амитабх тебе остается только ждать и наблюдать, Вы должны быть столь же успешны как прежде, даже превзойти свой пик популяррности. И это случалось с выходом «Kaun Banega Crorepati» по телевидению. Такой феноменальный успех суперзвезды по телевидению никогда не случался и никогда не должен случаться снова. Он с толком обработал KBC и имел такие теплые отношения с участниками этой викторины, что внимание зрителя было просто приковано к экрану и Амитабху. Другие каналы пробовали создавать подобные показы со многими другими актерами, но они терпели неудачу. Между актерами и участниками никогда не было того контакта какой был у Амитабха с участниками викторины. Полагают, что его возрождение было результатом всех тех хороших пожеланий и молитв со всех континентов. К сегодняшнему моменту, Амитабх благодарен и обязан своим поклонникам. Ни один из актеров в Mumbai не может привлечь сотни людей, всегда ожидающих его darshan перед бунгало Амитабха. И именно поэтому я имею самое большое восхищение им как актером. Я нашел такие выдающиеся качества в нем как актер, которые что я хотел бы иметь в себе непосредственно. Если Вы имеете ту же самую интенсивность в вашем действии, не имеет значения, каким путем Вы её достигните. Я вижу, что Амитабх делает это очень эффективно. Это - лезвие. Я делаю усилия, чтобы искать подобные результаты своим собственным способом. Но мои усилия все же отличаются даже при том, что интенсивность та же самая. Каждый актер имеет свою собственную марку проецирования в умах зрителей. Амитабх - естественный и интуитивный актер, в то время как Раджеш Кханна был стилизованный актер. Многое об этом было написано в трактате великого российского режиссера Константина Станиславского, которого я рассматриваю как великого учителя, кто в 19-ом столетии. Его метод действия преподается во всем мире. Когда ему было больше 40-ка лет, он создал свою систему, в центре деятельности которой психологический и эмоциональный аспект действия актеров на сцене. перевод мой.

Remita: Помните, Амитабх открыл школу, названную именем Айшварьи? Так вот - ни одно доброе дело не останется безнаказанным... Радж Тхакре, главарь партии Maharastra Navnirman Sena обвинил Амитабха Баччана в отсутствии патриотизма по отношению к штату Махараштра. Он утверждает, что Баччан больше любит свой родной штат Уттар Прадеш нежели чем Махараштру и поэтому там строит школу. Деятели Болливуда горой встали на защиту Баччана. Ом Пури: Печально и смешно в демократической Индии задавать Амитабху Баччану вопрос об источниках его дохода и куда он собирается вложить деньги. Это делается в популистских целях для того, чтобы получить голоса избирателей маратхов. Прити Зинта: Амитабх принадлежит всей стране. Я ведь тоже не коренная мумбаитка. Я приехала из Симлы, но никогда не чувствовала здесь себя чужой. Что из того, что Амитабх строит школу в Уттар Прадеше. Нам нужно много таких школ. Дайте нам землю, и мы построим в Мумбаи. Фархан Акхтар: Согласно статистическим данным, уровень грамотности в Махараштре 67,51%, а в Уттар Прадеше 42,98%. Надо благодарить господина Баччана, что он думает о прогрессе в этой стране. Говинда: Амитджи - национальная икона страны. Если разговоры о строительстве школы носят политический характер, то мы должны это решить в рамках дискуссии. Хема Малини: Так как Амитдж родом из Уттар Прадеша, то нет ничего плохого в том, что он привязан к этому штату .Почему эти люди не могут оставить его в покое и не посягать на его демократическое право жить и делать то, что он хочет. Суджой Гхош: Это абсолютно не прогрессивная позиция. Никто не может мне навязывать свою волю. Я не скрываю своей любви к Колкате и что в этом плохого. Но это не означает, что я не люблю Мумбаи.

nelke: угу-угу дальше, больше: Big B home was not attacked Two motor-cycle borne youths threw glass bottles at actor Amitabh Bachchan’s residence in the wee hours on Monday in the wake of Maharashtra Navanirman Sena (MNS) attacking the superstar for alleged negligence of Maharashtra. While police denied any such incident, mediamen deployed outside Bachchan’s bungalow anticipating trouble in the wake of clashes between the MNS and Samajwadi Party (SP) supporters on Sunday said they heard verbal abuses being hurled by the duo and also saw a bottle being thrown by them. вся статья на apunkabollywood

Remita: nelke : угу-угу дальше, больше: Big B home was not attacked Я просто в шоке от такой дикости А мы ещё думаем, что у нас в России порядка нет... Индия - это вообще беспредел какой-то Очень Амитабха жалко, с какой стати он должен перед кем-то оправдываться (за своё же благое дело), подвергаться нападкам и прямой угрозе, прерывать съёмки из-за этих придурков... Кошмар и анархия.

nelke: Remita : Кошмар и анархия ага тут он у них легенда, а тут мальчик для битья. Такой чуши, признаться, тоже не ожидала

Amita: Remita : Очень Амитабха жалко, с какой стати он должен перед кем-то оправдываться (за своё же благое дело Помните, Амитабх открыл школу, названную именем Айшварьи? Строй этим придуркам школы... лучше б сразу исправительно -трудовую колонию имени Абхишека !

Remita: Amita : Строй этим придуркам школы... лучше б сразу исправительно -трудовую колонию имени Абхишека ! В точку!

07_Nikasha: Amita : лучше б сразу исправительно -трудовую колонию имени Абхишека ! А КОГО директором? ...и туда срочно угодит пол-страны

wichy: отсюда - свежее интервью с Амитом. Doting father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan feels 'bahurani' Aishwarya Rai, a celebrity in her own right, fits perfectly in Bollywood's most glamorous household. 'In Uttar Pradesh, the daughter-in-law is addressed as 'bahurani'. In our house, that is how we address Aishwarya Rai. It is a most endearing expression and completely fulfilling in describing her presence in our home,' the Big B told in an interview. The aging superstar cannot stop raving about his daughter-in-law's performance in Ashutosh Gowariker's period romance 'Jodhaa-Akbar'. 'I have often used the word 'ethereal' in some of my interviews earlier to describe a special moment or a person. For Aishwarya in J-A, I'd want to use that again for I lack the knowledge of finding an adequate substitute.' The star of the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties derived his strength from his family, especially his parents. 'Yes, our parents have been our life and strength. They shall remain with us... I think of them and remember them every step of my day,' the actor said. Q: What did you think of Aishwarya in 'Jodhaa-Akbar', and of the film? A:I have often used the word 'ethereal' in some of my interviews earlier, not in this context, but to describe a special moment or a person. For Aishwarya in 'Jodhaa-Akbar', I'd want to use that again for I lack the knowledge of finding an adequate substitute. This great emperor, this ruler of the land, one with the common man, is succumbing to that unknown force, which no human has ever been able to decipher. Ahh...! I get goose bumps. I have not felt like that since that historic moment in the movie '2001- Space Odessey' when the ape-man in prehistoric times discovers a bone and accidentally finds its use as a weapon to destroy another and in the excitement of his discovery flings it in the air. The bone is caught in slow motion as it moves in the atmosphere and... cut to... a futuristic space station, moving equally, in high speed, to the strains of Johann Strauss's 'Blue Danube'. Brilliant !! Q: Aishwarya has blended beautifully into the Bachchan portrait. What are your thoughts about your 'bahu' a year after the wedding? A: In Uttar Pradesh, the daughter-in-law in the house is addressed as 'bahurani'. In our house, that is how we address Aishwarya. It is a most endearing expression and completely fulfilling in describing her presence in our home. What other thoughts do you expect me to have after what I have told you. All other niceties remain in the private and personal domain. I do not see any necessity for it to be announced publicly. Q: A school named after Aishwarya is going to be built in Uttar Pradesh? How would you contribute to this noble endeavour? A: A promise to the people of the region was made a year ago. We kept our promise and have laid the foundation stone for the school. It will now be built and become operational. I will be involved in funding the construction and will be part of the administration through a trust. Q: Amitji, you've always been very family-oriented. May I ask in what ways would you like to honour your mother's memory? A: These are too personal to be discussed publicly. Our parents are our life, our existence and our strength. They shall remain with us. No matter what we do to honour them, we shall never be able to even go near or match the love and guidance they give us so selflessly and so unstintingly throughout their lives. I think of them and remember them at every step. This is all that they would probably have expected from their progeny, nothing more. Q: You've decided to sponsor two adandoned girls in Patna. How did you come to know about them? Among all the causes that besiege our society, does the plight of the girl child trouble you in special way? A: I came to know their plight through the electronic media and volunteered to help. I had helped girls earlier too like treating a young girl, who needed surgical intervention and her parents were too poor to afford the cost. For the two cute little girls from Patna, it was the lost and frightened look on their faces that moved me. We managed to find their mother, who we discovered was a hapless victim of a sad and ugly incident and gave her money to care for the education of the little girls till as long as they wanted to study. There is a proposal that when the school in Barabanki comes up, we will give the mother a job there. The plight of the girl child is a universal issue and quite predominant in our part of the world. As an ambassador for the United Nations and having worked for the eradication of polio and other diseases in our country, this activity will be an extension of what the UN and the UNICEF are charting out for me. Q: Finally, the family prepares for the world concert this year. What are your thoughts on the impending world tour and the prospect of dancing with your son and 'bahu'? A: Yes, the tour preparations are on... We go in July-August to Europe and then to US. I have often danced with my son and 'bahu'. It's being together on a common platform that is more important. Q: Lately, you've been pretty much doing your own thing, unfazed by the swirling circle of speculation and controversies. Was that a conscious decision? A: 'Deep end'? That sounds disparaging! 'Swirling circle of speculation and controversies' are built by the media. I do not see any reason to react to them or allow them to influence my decisions. Q; How affected were you and your family by the charge that you have done more for Uttar Pradesh than for Mumbai? A: This is a free country and every man enjoys the liberty of free speech. The law of the land and its Constitution is supreme. Every Indian should be affected by it. Random charges are random. They do not deserve the kind of attention you want me to give to them. Q: How were your schedules affected by the personal tragedy, the loss of your mom? Did you have to make up for lost time? A: My schedules were not affected. My producers have all been extremely understanding and accommodating. There has been no loss of time. Будет возможность - вечером переведу

wichy: Содержание интервью вкратце: Амит рассказывает, что в Уттар-Прадеш невесток называют "бахурани" (я так понимаю, что-то вроде "невестка-королева" ) И в их доме все именно так обращаются к Айшварье - они считают, что это наиболее ласковое обращение и лучшее описание ее роли в их доме. Амит не устает нахваливать ее игру в фильме Джодха-Акбар. Рассказывает про школу, названную в честь Айшварьи - говорит, что они обещали открыть ее жителям региона еще год назад, сейчас школа уже строится. Амит участвует финансово в строительстве и будет участвовать в управлении через фонд. Также Амит говорит, что всегда черпал силы в семье, особенно от родителей, говорит, что до сих пор чувствует их рядом и вспоминает о них постоянно. Рассказывает о благотворительной деятельности, о подготовке к мировому турне - что в июле-августе тур начнется в Европе, затем поедут в США.

Remita: wichy : "невестка-королева" ) И в их доме все именно так обращаются к Айшварье - они считают, что это наиболее ласковое обращение и лучшее описание ее роли в их доме Господи, до сих пор не могу нарадоваться, что Ашка теперь любимая бахурани Баччанов - я бы сказала - брильянт в короне Баччанов Такая идиллия, аж слеза наворачиваецца Как я их всех люблю!...

wichy: Remita : Такая идиллия, аж слеза наворачиваецца Сплюнь. А то как че-нить произойдет ищщо - капец идиллии... Ой, мне всегда так подозрительно, когда Амит так Ашку нахваливает.. Особливо когда говорит "остальные приятности оставим для внутрисемейного пользования"

Remita: wichy : Сплюнь. А то как че-нить произойдет ищщо - капец идиллии... И то правда Тьфу три раза wichy : Ой, мне всегда так подозрительно, когда Амит так Ашку нахваливает.. Особливо когда говорит "остальные приятности оставим для внутрисемейного пользования" А чё ж тут подозрительного? Наоборот, очень даже... хорошо сказал, правдивый наш

Lo: Remita : хорошо сказал, правдивый наш Деффки, вы тут дочирикаетесь! Не забывайте, на каком форуме сидите! Волшебном!

Amita: Пускай здесь будет ,Джае сегодня 60 лет С чем ее и поздравляем Jaya Bachchan-the girl next door of Guddi turns 60 today. At the milestone, Jaya Bachchan maintains her firm hold on family, politics and the affection of numerous fans. Juggling many roles and responsibilities, Jaya has taken a break from her work and flown to Miami to be with her son Abhishek on her birthday, which will be a quiet affair restricted to her immediate family. Amitabh Bachchan and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai have also gone with her to Miami where Abhishek is shooting for Karan Johar's Dostana. The actress, who went through many difficult phases in life, says that real happiness comes from "positive thinking and one should be always positive in life". Firm and forthright Jaya is more active in politics as a Samajwadi Party MP, than films. Recently, she criticised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati for attacking her husband. Although she has not acted in as many films as the Big B, she leaves an indelible mark whenever she appears on screen. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, "Kal Ho Naa Ho" and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag are some recent examples of her acting acumen. Jaya was born to Indira and Taroon Coomar Bhaduri who was a writer, journalist and stage artiste. After completing her schooling from St. Joseph's Convent in Bhopal, she got an opportunity to play a small role in Satyajit Ray's Bengali film Mahanagar at the young age of 15. She later joined the Film and Television Institute of India in Pune. She made a remarkable Bollywood debut in 1971 with "Guddi" after which there was no looking back for this talented actress. She starred in hit after hit - Koshish, Parichay, Bawarchi, Abhimaan, Mili and Chupke Chupke, to name a few. In 1973, Jaya married her co-star Amitabh Bachchan with whom she paired up in films like Zanzeer, Abhimaan and Sholay. After marriage she took an 18-year break from acting to concentrate on her family. Jaya has received seven Filmfare awards besides the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award. While staying away from the silver screen, she produced the popular television serial "Dekh Bhai Dekh". Jaya made a grand comeback to movies in the critically acclaimed Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa in 1998. In 2000, she played mother to Karisma Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan in Fiza and received the Filmfare award for best supporting actress. Her fans will see her next in journalist-poet-author Jayabrato Chatterjee's Love Songs - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow. "It is a nice film, watch it," she said. The film was premiered at Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image's International Film Festival in March. click here
