RE: May 2009 - News - 3

Even though her neck injury is yet to heal completely, Mugdha Godse hasn't stopped shooting for her two films All The Best and Jail. Her role in Madhur Bhandarkar's Jail doesn't require much physical stress but All The Best, being a Rohit Shetty film, needs her to everything that a quintessential Bollywood heroine is expected to do.

"Which means lot of music and dance", laughs Mugdha who is getting used to Bollywood scheme of things with her first full on 'masala' fare in the form of All The Best that has her paired opposite Fardeen Khan. Just having returned from her Goa stint for All The Best, she is currently shooting in Mumbai for Jail which is expected to wrap up by month end.

So how has the experience been in Goa? "It was great fun though I had to be extra careful during the song shoot", says Mugdha who didn't quite get to show her dancing skills in her debut flick Fashion, "I continue to wear neck band when I am off the sets. It is quite comfortable and the healing process has been faster too. In any case, I can't afford to take much risk, what with shooting of both Jail and All The Best happening in parallel."

She still did risk her neck though as she danced non-stop for a racy number in All The Best. "In fact director Rohit Shetty and the choreographer were quite considerate and suggested that I pick up lighter dance steps. But then that would have been unfair on my part, especially because everyone else who participated in the dance shoot were working so hard."

"In any case, I myself didn't want to miss out on the opportunity of giving my best for All The Best. I have seen Rohit getting such fabulously choreographed numbers like 'Tha Karke' and 'No Vacancy' in his last release Golmaal Returns. Why should I have settled for anything lesser", questions Mugdha who ensured that she took adequate precautions to save her neck injury from further getting aggravated.

The song that she features in is extra special for Mugdha as it was shot on outdoor location of Goa and boasted of the entire star cast comprising of Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Bipasha Basu, Fardeen Khan and herself.

"Watch out for the song. It's going to make waves on its arrival", declares Mugdha before signing off.

übersetzt von Diwali:
Mugdha Godse pendelt derzeit zwischen ihren beiden Filmsets für Jail und All The Best hin und her. Wegen ihrer noch nicht ganz auskurierten Nackenverletzung muss sie dabei sehr vorsichtig sein. Allerdings hällt sie die ATB-Komödie "mit ihren vielen Songs und Tänzen" (!!) für physisch anspruchsvoller als Jail.

After much deliberation, Ajay Devgan has decided to take the plunge and get his daughter Nysa's name tattooed on his back.

Always on my mind... and back! Ajay Devgan with daughter Nysa

Says a source close to the actor, "Ajay's very keen on getting a tattoo. He's seen Rohit Shetty and Sanjay

Always on my mind... and back! Ajay Devgan with daughter Nysa
Dutt's tattoos and
was quite impressed by them. This time, when Aalim (who styles Ajay's hair and owns a tattoo parlour) came to Goa for Rohit's All The Best, Ajay expressed his desire to have one too."

Keeping it simple

Devgan has been in talks with Aalim the last couple of months about the size and style of tattoo he wants. The only thing he is sure of is: that he wants it to be simple and unassuming like the man himself. The source adds, "He adores Nysa and wants to have her name tattooed (most probably) on his back.

Ajay hasn't gone for a tattoo earlier as he didn't want to be part of a crowd. He decided on his daughter's name as she's most precious to him and he will carry her with him wherever he travels." Akshay Kumar too has his son Aarav's name inked on his back.

It's personal

Aalim says, "Ajay's loves fast and expensive cars, designer watches, spacious homes he's the quintessential Marlboro guy so yes, getting a tattoo was something he always wanted. We have been in discussion for months."

Apparently, Ajay asked him to draw some designs and show them to him when he came to Goa to do Sanju's tattoos. "Ajay doesn't want to flaunt tattoos out of shauq but do something meaningful and personal. He's also very shy and might change his mind at the last moment."

Nysa's name will be tattooed in either English or Devanagari with an Arabic touch. The design will be simple yet with little touches that Devgan will approve of when Aalim flies down to meet Dutt and Devgan next month in Goa.

Offenbar macht Ajay jetzt ernst mit seinem Wunsch nach einem Tattoo. Als Aalim Hakim zum ATB-Set nach Goa kam, hat er wohl längere Gespräche mit ihm geführt und sich Entwürfe anfertigen lassen. Angeblich will er sich den Namen seiner Tochter auf den Rücken tätowieren lassen, ähnlich wie Akshay, der dort den Namen seines Sohnes trägt.

Relax, guys before you visualize the tall dark handsome actor getting his pants unbuttoned (like counterpart Akshay), we are referring to the affectionate act, for a change. It elates us to reveal that after action king Akshay geared up to get his son Aarav's name inked on his back, now Ajay Devgan too has decided to take the plunge and get his darling daughter Nysa's name tattooed on his back too.

It is heard that, after having seen director Rohit Shetty and Sanjay Dutt's much talked about tattoos on location at Goa during the making of ALL THE BEST; Ajay has been very keen on sporting a tattoo. So this time, when acclaimed B-town hairstylist Aalim arrived in Goa, Ajay expressed his desire to get inked too. They have been in talks, ever since, about the size and style of tattoo he wants.

What better than to inscribe his adorable daughter Nysa's name, who is most precious to him. To be engraved in either English or 'Devanagari' with an Arabic touch, the design will apparently be simple yet with little touches that Devgan will approve of when Aalim flies down to meet Dutt and Devgan next month in Goa. Indeed, it's all about loving your family!

“Rohit is extremely considerate” - Mugdha talks about her ‘All The Best’ director
May 28th, 2009 - 9:59 am ICT by sampurn
By Joginder Tuteja

Mugdha Godse is smiling away day in and night out in spite of her injury. Reason? Due to her physical condition which requires her to take ample care of her neck on a 24X7 basis, she is being pampered silly on the sets of ‘All The Best’. So whether it is director Rohit Shetty or her co-star Ajay Devgan or the other members from cast or crew, Mugdha is being treated with utmost care on the sets of the film for which shooting is currently in progress at Goa.

“Rohit is extremely considerate about my physical state and is making sure that I don’t have any issues during shooting for ‘All The Best’. Not that I have any reason to complain in any case but still Rohit keeps asking me if I am comfortable shooting for the film”, remembers Mugdha who is now back in Mumbai to shoot for Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Jail’ which is currently nearing completion.

She can’t get the glee off her face as she recollects the royal treatment that is being meted upon her.

“I guess the injury is a blessing in disguise”, winks Mugdha, “Everyone is being so sweet and nice to me. Ajay (Devgan) especially arranged for a doctor for me while the choreographer too asks me twice if I would be comfortable doing a particular step. I am enjoying all the attention though on a serious note, I sometimes feel bad that because of me, everyone is so worried. I would just want things to be normal.”

Tell her that on the sets of ‘Jail’ she is more of ‘ghar hi heroine’ (as she has worked with her mentor Madhur Bhandarkar before in ‘Fashion’) while for Rohit Shetty’s ‘All The Best’ she is a ‘mehmaan’ due to which is getting that special attention and she chooses to merely smile away without making a comment.

While she is still recovering from the injury that she got due to a road accident that she met with a few weeks back, Mugdha has been advised to wear some precious stones around her arm. Apparently, these stones are medically proven to aid in faster healing process and in general are good for one’s physical being.

“Even Ajay and Kajol wear these stones”, tells Mugdha, “I took their advise and started wearing them myself. My other medication is in progress in any case and I should be able to get 100% well soon.”

Incidentally, Mugdha is already staring at a double whammy ahead since both ‘Jail’ as well as ‘All The Best’ are slated to arrive during the same time period. While ‘All The Best’ has already pencilled in 16th October as it’s release date, Madhur Bhandarkar too has gone on record to state that ‘Jail’ would most likely arrive in either September or October.

Now it has to be seen if Mugdha would enjoy similar pampering at the box office in case ‘Jail’ ends up clashing with ‘All The Best’.

The 9/11 attack ensured that Britain imposed some very strict rules - one among them being the Central London declared as the No-Fly zone. However, Bollywood director Vipul Shah has obtained permission to fly over the Central London after undergoing a lot of trouble. Apparently, Vipul wanted to shoot a sequence which required Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan to fly over the Central London for London Dreams. Though this shot is likely to appear just 20 seconds in the film London Dreams, it was considered as an important one.

Vipul finally managed to get the permission after requesting the Film Council, the Mayor of London and the Home Ministry to allow them to shoot.

Ganz interessant: Das Team von LD hat bisher als einziges trotz der Sicherheitsbestimmungen eine Hubschrauberüberfluggenehmigung (tolles Wort! ) für die Londoner Innenstadt bekommen. Letzten Endes wird es davon im Film nur 20 Sekunden zu sehen geben, aber die sollen laut Vipul Shah sehr wichtig sein.

None less than that reigning sexbomb of Bollywood, Mallika Sherawat , has been roped in to romance Sanjay Dutt in the comedy film All The Best .

Ajay Devgan ’s home production ‘All The Best’ will have Sanjay Dutt showing, once again, his comic side along with the sexy and saucy Mallika, who will play his love interest. Mallika shared an amazing on-screen chemistry with Anil and Nana in the movie Welcome , and showed her comic streak in her last two releases Ugly Aur Pagli and Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam .

Now, the actress has reportedly said yes to ‘All The Best’, but is learnt to be charging a bomb. But that’s expected.

Sanjay, who was a bit tied up with political campaigning recently, is now back to his original love and profession. The actor has two other movies lined up, one is Soham Shah’s Luck and another is Anthony D’Souza’s Blue . Surprisingly in both the movies, which are action thrillers, Sanjay isn’t paired with any female actress.

‘All The Best’, directed by Rohit Shetty of Golmaal Returns , also stars Ajay Devgan, Fardeen Khan , Bipasha Basu and Mugdha Godse . Rohit has handled multi-starrer films successfully in the past and is doing it again with utter ease. The shooting of the movie has been going on in Goa.

With this film, Bipasha is happy to do a comedy as it is a refreshing change for her; Mugdha, too, is excited about her first comedy film. And lest Mallika’s fans be disappointed, the lady will shoot two sizzling numbers with Sanjay in June in South Africa.

Here’s a classic case of Nysa bringing up her daddy instead of the other way
round.

Ajay Devgan known for his nocturnal adventures till a few years ago, now actually hits the bed by 10pm every night. Even when he is shooting outdoors, like he is currently for his home production All The Best - Fun Unlimited in Goa, unit hands staying in the same hotel as him insist that the actor-producer has dinner by 9pm and heads for his bed exactly an hour later.

Of course, this whole story sounded completely unbelievable because Ajay is in Goa alone while his wife Kajol and six-year-old daughter Nysa have flown to Germany for one of Kajol’s close friend’s marriage. To know that despite being a bachelor for the time being Ajay stuck to a 10pm bed routine came as a bit of a shock.

When Mumbai Mirror asked Ajay whether it was true that he hit the sack as early as 10pm when his contemporaries in Mumbai step out for a party, the actor said, “Yeah, I’m in bed at 10pm sharp every single night irrespective of whether I’m in Mumbai or even on an outdoor shoot.”

Ajay explained that at home he is the one who puts his daughter Nysa to bed every night.

“I have two drinks and then I spend some time playing with Nysa and see her off to bed. Once Nysa is asleep, I have my third drink, eat dinner, watch some television and then go to bed,” said Ajay.

However, off late his sixyear-old angel has been insisting that he should have dinner with her and sleep immediately. “Many times I just skip the third drink,” added Ajay. “In recent months I have started eating my dinner at 9pm after which I read for an hour to Nysa. She just loves reading and recently she called me from overseas to say she has bought a whole load of new books that she wants me to read to her as soon as she returns to India.”

“After reading to Nysa for an hour, I automatically fall asleep with her. Even when she is not around, I start yawning at 9pm and I just tell whoever I am with to please excuse me because I can’t stay up post-10pm,” said Ajay.

The adoring father says he is currently only a weekend dad because Nysa has school in Mumbai and can visit him in Goa only during weekends.

Ajay is indeed a reformed man.

Nysas 10. Gebot
Hier ein klassisches Beispiel dafür, wie Nysa ihren Papa erzieht anstatt umgekehrt: Ajay Devgan war bis vor ein paar Jahren für seine nächtlichen Umtriebe bekannt. Jetzt sinkt er jede Nacht um 22 Uhr in die Kissen. Sogar während der Außendreharbeiten wie gerade bei seiner Eigenproduktion ATB in Goa. Mitarbeiter, die im selben Hotel wohnen, berichten, dass der Schauspieler und Produzent um 21 Uhr zu Abend isst und genau eine Stunde später Richtung Bett verschwindet.
Die ganze Geschichte klingt natürlich ziemlich unglaubwürdig, da Ajay ja allein in Goa ist. Seine Frau Kajol und die sechsjährige Tochter sind unterdessen nach Deutschland zur Hochzeit einer Freundin geflogen. Es ist schon ein bisschen schockierend, dass Ajay Strohwitwer ist und trotzdem beim Zapfenstreich um 22 Uhr bleibt.
Als der MM Ajay fragte, ob das wirklich wahr sei, dass er zu einer Zeit die Äuglein zuklappt, wenn seine Kumpels in Mumbai gerade das Haus verlassen, um auf Partys zu gehen, sagte der Schauspieler: "Klar, ich bin jede Nacht Punkt zehn im Bett - egal, ob in Mumbai oder bei einem Außendreh."
Ajay erklärte, dass er zuhause normalerweise Tochter Nysa ins Bett bringen würde: "Ich trinke zwei Gläschen, dann spiele ich ein bisschen mit Nysa und bringe sie ins Bett. Sobald Nysa schläft, genehmige ich mir noch einen, esse zu Abend, schau ein bisschen fern und gehe dann ins Bett."
Trotzdem hatte in letzter Zeit sein sechsjähriges Engelchen darauf bestanden, dass er mit ihm essen und dann auch sofort ins Bett gehen sollte. "So manchesmal habe ich einfach das dritte Glas weggelassen", fügte Ajay hinzu. "Und in den letzten Monaten habe ich sogar angefangen, schon um neun zu Abend zu essen und danach Nysa noch eine Stunde vorzulesen. Sie liebt das, und kürzlich hat sie mich aus Europa angerufen, nur um mir zu sagen, dass sie eine Menge neuer Bücher gekauft hätte. Die müsse ich ihr alle vorlesen, sobald sie wieder in Indien sei. Und wenn ich Nysa eine Stunde vorgelesen habe, schlafe ich automatisch mit ihr ein. Sogar wenn sie nicht da ist, fange ich inzwischen um neun an zu gähnen. Dann entschuldige ich mich bei meiner Begleitung und erkläre, dass ich mich einfach nicht länger als bis zehn wachhalten kann."
Der hingebungsvolle Vater sagt, er sei im Moment nur ein Wochenend-Papa, weil Nysa ja in Mumbai zur Schule gehen und nicht die ganze Zeit in Goa bleiben könne.
