Hollywood veteran Michael Douglas was in an expansive mood while delivering a masterclass at the recently concluded International Film Festival of India (Iffi), Goa, where he also accepted a lifetime achievement award.
Douglas was in conversation with producer Shailendra Singh, with whom he explored a sequel to “Romancing the Stone” called “Chasing the Monsoon” 17 years ago. The pair are now looking at another film. “We have a project that we are working on, it’s an outline now. We need to talk a little bit more about the characterizations and storylines, but I hope so, I would be really excited,” Douglas said.
The two-time Oscar winner’s comfort level with Singh, who was instrumental in bringing him to India this year, with the seeds sown at the Cannes India pavilion earlier this year, was evident. Douglas was candid about the emotional struggle he went through while his son Cameron battled drug addiction.

2019 has taken the remake trend of 2018 and pushed the dial to 11. We’ve seen straight rips of some classic old songs and some very good bits of reworking and modernising efforts from the new generation of music directors. We can look at how Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga not only reminded us of Anil Kapoor bouncing around on his bed and in his old car but also brought the reality of Sonam Kapoor’s role in the new film into focus. At the other end of the scale there’s been a lot of reworking done for Punjabi pop performers, with several being invited to redo their songs with some of Bollywood’s best.
In all cases what any remake does do well is to give listeners both new and old a chance to either reminisce or get to know a song that may be from a previous...

With several actors making their acting debut this year, yet another name who has joined the league is Sunny Kaushal. Shailendra Singh is all geared to bring in yet another talent in the form of Sunny Kaushal in his directorial debut. A source revealed, Sunny who usually keeps his second name at bay when he goes for auditions, shared huge monologs with Shailendra and instantly bagged the role only later revealing that he's Shyam Kaushal's son.
Not only that but it being his debut, Shailendra narrated the film several times to Sunny but did not share the script with him, since he wanted to give him freedom for improvisation and not letting him have a one mind track for the scenes. The film, Sunshine Music Tours and Travels has extensively been shot in exotic locations highlighting the beauty of Kashmir to Goa showing the real essence of India. The...

In a rather unique move, Sunny Leone and Ram Kapoor have been paired opposite each other for the first time in the upcoming comedy entertainer Kuch Kuch Locha Hain. And now we hear that the film is all set to recreate one of the most popular Rd Burman classics. In 1984, we saw Rishi Kapoor and the saree clad Dimple Kapadia dancing sensuously to the romantic track 'Jaane Do Na' sung by Shailendra Singh and evergreen Asha Bhosle. And now we will see yet another version of the song in Kuch Kuch Locha Hai and it will be picturized on Sunny Leone. Composer Arko Pravo Mukherjee, who has previously rendered the new version of Dayavan track 'Aaj Phir Tum Pe' for Hate Story 2, will be doing the same with 'Jaane Do Na'. Excited about this, Arko stated that this track won't be a remix. It will have elements of hip-hop and will be groovier,...

Maverick producer and marketing magnate Shailendra Singh's directorial debut Gupta Clinic will feature Saurabh Shukla in a role inspired by Singh himself. Says Singh with a chuckle, "I am not going to deny the fact that I do like to be known as someone who helps out friends. But my film is only about advice on physical relationship. A recent survey has revealed that 47 percent of the young couples in the country prefer to spend time watching television or surfing the net instead of being with their partners. This is a disturbing trend. We need to examine why this is so. I'd like to think Surabh's character shares my concern for the decline in the intensity level among young urban couples." Quirky comedies can get no quirkier than this. Long-standing producer Shailendra Singh is all set to turn director with a film on physical relationship. However the film entitled...

"I think the entire country unites in Goa for 'Sunburn'. You know this is that magical time between Christmas and New.

Madhur Bhandarkar has slammed rumours making the rounds that he is going ahead and making a film on the life of Indian Premier League (Ipl) Commissioner Lalit Modi. Though these rumours had started close to six months back (around the release of Jail), they had died their natural death with the filmmaker coming up with an instant denial. However, now with more spice added to the entire affair courtesy the current situation that Modi and ex-Minister Shashi Tharoor have found themselves in, there was a buzz in the industry (yet again) that Bhandarkar may well begin work on the script and revive the film shortly. Says a well placed industry source who has been closely following the progress of the entire episode surrounding the film (which supposedly also carries the title The Commissioner), "At one point in time, this film was a definite possibility since Lalit Modi was already in...

Click above for more movie stills The past few animation films may've failed to attract eyeballs and footfalls, but that hasn't deterred Shailendra Singh of Percept Picture Company to promote his new animation film Jumbo aggressively. With voiceovers by Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Dimple Kapadia, Gulshan Grover, Rajpal Yadav and Asrani, Jumbo is not only targeted at kids, but also kids at heart. "We aren't targeting the kids only. We're looking at adults as well. I genuinely feel that there's a kid in all of us. Jumbo is akin to a Manmohan Desai film with full-on masala for the Indian audiences," Shailendra informs me. No wonder, Percept has put up massive hoardings across the city to herald its arrival this Christmas. Will Jumbo prove as successful as Hanuman? "That's too early to say, but it has the germs to emerge a success. I'd be glad if this animation film works.
