Auszug:

Two years after Fanah, Kajol lights up the screen once more in U Me Aur Hum. Entertainment Editor, CNN-IBN Rajeev Masand caught up with the actress.
...
Rajeev Masand: We are going to see you in U Me Aur Hum that your husband Ajay Devgan has directed. Did he talk to you about this project when he was developing it just as a project that he wanted to direct and that you come on board later, how did he put it into play?
Kajol: We were just talking about it and I thought that the script sounded really exciting. I asked him what the basic idea was and it was superb. And that was what really got the ball rolling. It just evolved after that.
Actually speaking the script that we heard and what we eventually made came out to be totally different.

Qayamat

Harry Baweja's desi version of Sean Connery-Nicholas Cage flick, The Rock turned out to be nothing like his previous kerchief capers like Dilwale and Imtihan.

Instead, the Ajay Devgan-Suniel Shetty-Neha Dhupia-Riya Sen starring hostage drama, in Hollywood tradition, delivered a high dose of slick action, peachy camera work and gadget-friendly moments.

Like it's original, the copy, too, met with a swell response at the ticket counters.

Actor Kajol is the favourite of many. So as she returns to the silver screen with hubby's U, Me Aur Hum, her fans look forward to it all. But who is her fave actress and who does she think should make a comeback on the n big screen? "It would have to be Sridevi," says Kads. Well, with husband Ajay Devgan having turned director-producer, we're sure the Devgans themselves can make this possible. And the title could well be U, Me Aur Sri!

Ajay Devgan once touted to be the next Big B or rather the guy who was capable of portraying emotions through his eyes has seen plenty of flops when it comes to romance.

Ishq was quite forgettable, Ajay. Stick to hard hitting films like Gangajal or Apaharan.. you are the best..

Tusshar is extra-kicked about reprising his role as the mute and deaf in Golmaal Returns. This time it's his old pal Kareena with whom Tusshar gets to share screen space. "And we're playing siblings. That's right. Kareena plays my sister in Golmaal Returns! Isn't that cool?" Well, not quite cool because audiences will now expect Kareena to be Tusshar's onscreen Ekta.

Tusshar laughs off the insinuations. "Nothing of the sort. Have you forgotten that Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya played siblings in Josh? They were soon after accepted as an intense couple in Mohabbatein. And what about Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala? They played father-daughter and husband-wife in two films that were released during the same year (Khamoshi and Agni Sakshi). Earlier Sanjeevji and Jayaji were a married couple in Gulzar Saab's Koshish and father-daughter in Parichay during same year.

Considering these films came decades ago, surely today's generation would have no problem knowing Bebo and I are only acting as brother and sister. I'd love to do an intense love story with her immediately after this." Tusshar incidentally, feels very comforted by 'sister' Kareena's presence in Golmaal Returns.

"Earlier when we did Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai together, she was moody and into her own shell most of the time. Today she has mellowed down so much. And she's looking stunning these days," Tusshar ends appreciatively.

10 years ago Ajay Devgan and Kajol teamed up in a sugary romance called Pyar To Hona Hi Tha. 3 years later they again joined hands for Raju Chacha. And now the real life pati and patni are sharing screen space again in Ajay’s directorial debut U Me Aur Hum! The film’s promos first came out with Halla Bol, and ever since then they’ve been generating a lot of interest, for many different reasons. For starters, everyone’s wondering if Ajay’s directorial skills can match Aamir Khan’s. Apart from that, Kajol’s fans are already gearing up to see the actress back in action. Well, the film is scheduled to hit cinemas on the 11th of April, so keep an eye out for it! Right now, here’s a sneak peek!

Ajay Devgan is unbeaten in comedies. As the genre weaves magic in the box office, it makes the actor ponder on its success mantra. "There is so much stress in our lives and comedies help them unwind," says Devgan, whose last release Sunday, again a comedy, opened to poor box office reception.

"But as an actor, I hope genres to work as well, though I enjoy working in comedies as well," he adds. The actor has his directorial debut U, Me Aur Hum coming up next.

If all goes on well, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will act together in a new film titled London Dreams. It is said that filmmaker Vipul Shah has decided not to cast his favourite actor Akshay Kumar for this film. The news is doing the rounds that he will produce as well direct Rajkumar Santoshi's shelved film London Dreams with Salman and Katrina in the lead.

Sources said that Bobby Deol also has been signed to play Salman's friend in the film. Ajay Devgan was supposed to play Bobby Deol's role in Rajkumar Santoshi's film. However, Vipul Shah refused to reveal the cast of the film. He said that nobody has been finalised for the film. He added that he would announce the cast in a week's time.

It was also reported that Vipul needs special permission from Rajkumar Santoshi, as he has rights to the script. However, Vipul said that he has re-written the script, based on his take on Santoshi's script.

As Devgan’s directorial U, Me aur Hum, gears up for release, readers give their views on whether the jodi will dig gold at the box-office once more

YOU SAY
But of course! An actor like Kajol always gives her best, no matter what role she portrays or who she is paired up with. More than anything else, I am looking forward to Kajol and Ajay (after Ishq and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha) on the big screen.
Sachin Rathod, gym instructor

Ajay and Kajol have chemistry that I wouldn’t say is the best, but definitely something that you would be interested in. Also, with age, I think Kajol looks all the more charming.
Arun Nair, BPO employee

I am looking forward to seeing Kajol back on screen. Ajay never really left films but now that he is making a directorial debut, it will be very interesting to see what magic both of them can create once again.
Sunita Lalwani, homemaker

Ajay and Kajol have always shared a great professional rapport and that’s something, which comes across easily. I still remember their chemistry in Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha. It made me fall in love with the two.
Shweta Gulati, student

I am really looking forward to the movie—not for anything else but for Kajol. She has always proved herself to be a fine actor and with time has matured immensely. And it’s especially exciting to watch her with hubby Ajay!
Sonam Kalra, photographer

WE SAY
Nothing that Ajay Devgan attempts can be dismissed as trivial. Moreover, he is making his directorial debut with U, Me aur Hum, and has even cast his wife and actor Kajol opposite him. So you can bet that a lot of planning and involvement has gone in the project. While Ajay’s intensity and Kajol’s spontaneity has constituted the cornerstone of their chemistry, it’s to be watched whether marriage has kept this fire still fuelled!

Kajol-Ajay is always considered to be an idle pair as very little can be heard about any mis-understanding between them. But recently, problems started brewing between this happily married couple. Report is that Kajol is miffed with Ajay because he had discussed some of their personal matter with an outsider.

Ajay talked with director and a good friend of his Kumar Mangat regarding the SMS that Kajol had sent to Shahrukh. Rajkumar Hirani had approached both Kajol and Shahrukh to act in his film and regarding that issue she had sent a message to SRK. When Kajol came to know that the message licked in the outer world, she turned furious.

On being asked, Ajay said that it was just a misunderstanding and it was not a major issue. He clarified everything to her and now the whole thing has been sorted out. Kumar Mangat too intervened on the issue and explained everything to her. Kajol’s anger has now cooled down and she is feeling fine. Now, it’s all well between Kajol and Ajay and again they started leading a blissful life.
