Stork to visit Maanyata in Goa?

1 Jun 2009, 0000 hrs IST, TNN

Maanyata Dutt is with hubby Sanjay in Goa where he is shooting for All The Best.

A source from the unit says, “Sanju looks relaxed with ‘Ma’ (that’s what he calls Maanyata) around.” The star wife had indicated that she is keen to start a family soon. Fardeen Khan has also asked wife Natasha to join him for the schedule, and if sources are to believed, this couple, too, would like to start a family. Ajay Devgan has confessed to a film magazine that he, too, would like to have another baby. Kajol flies every weekend to Goa to spend quality time with hubby Ajay. “The current mood on this outdoor is quite romantic,” says a unit hand. “If things go as per plan, there might just be a baby boom in Bollywood soon.”

Besucht der Storch bald Maanyata in Goa?
Eine Quelle vom Set meint: "Sanju sieht mit Ma - so nennt er Maanyata - ziemlich entspannt aus." Die Ehefrau des Stars hat angedeutet, dass sie ziemlich bald eine Familie gründen möchte.
Fardeen Khan hat ebenfalls seine Frau Natasha zu den Dreharbeiten mitgebracht. Wenn man den Gerüchten glauben schenken darf, plant dieses Paar ebenfalls Nachwuchs.
Und Ajay Devgan hat ja gegenüber einem Filmmagazin gestanden, dass er auch gern noch ein Baby hätte. Kajol fliegt jedes Wochenende nach Goa, um Zeit mit ihrem Mann zu verbringen.
"Die Stimmung bei diesem Dreh ist ziemlich romantisch", meint ein Mitarbeiter dazu. "Wenn die Dinge so laufen wie geplant, werden wir wohl bald einen Babyboom in Bollywood haben."

On Sunday night, Ajay Devgan finally got himself inked. But not just with his daughter's name on his chest but also an emblem of Lord Shiva to go with it.

Plans for a tattoo were on for a while, and Devgan's stylist Aalim's assistant was finally summoned to Goa for the job.

Says a source, "Ajay's an ardent bhakt of Lord Shiva. Earlier, he planned to only have his daughter Nysa's name inscribed on his chest. But then he thought, why not the one who created his daughter also? So now, it's Nysa's name and an image of Lord Shiva on his chest."

Devgan got the idea of getting a tattoo from his friend Sanjay Dutt who has four tattoos, one on his shoulder and back and two on each of his arms.

While Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and now Ajay Devgan have decided to flaunt their tattoos for the world to see, many of Bollywood's denizens believe tattoos are a nuisance. Bipasha Basu who's shooting in Goa along with Ajay Devgan was apparently offered a chance to get her own tattoo done.

The lady is not interested, "Never! It's painful. I will borrow John's line on the subject of getting a tattoo and say, 'You never paint or draw on the Taj Mahal.'

Mallika Sherawat was supposed to act in Rohit Shetty's All The Best but now, Tabu will be seen in the same role. The shooting was delayed due to Sanju's political campaigning. Meanwhile, the actress' dates were lost and she doesn't have more dates to accommodate the film.

With good friends

The role calls for a glamorous girl to star opposite Sanju. A source reveals, "Tabu has been approached and has shown an interest in the project. She is friendly with Ajay and it was his idea to cast her. Even though they haven't worked together for long, Ajay and Tabu are good friends." Tabu and Sanjay have worked together before, in Sarhad Paar (2006)

All the Best will mark Tabu's return to mainstream commercial cinema. "Tabu has been on a hiatus from spicy masala films for a long time. She has been busy doing south films, and has rejected several Bollywood scripts. She was quite impressed with this script and found it hilarious."

Der Mid-Day berichtet heute, Mallika Sherawat habe nun doch keine Zeit für All The Best. Ihre Rolle sei nun Tabu angeboten worden, und sie habe Interesse gezeigt.

We are here to witness an incredible casting revolution of sorts. The latest reports doing the rounds suggest that Tabu replaces reigning sex bomb Mallika Sherawat, who was roped in to romance Sanju Baba in Rohit Shetty's comic caper ALL THE BEST. Isn't it a splendid coincidence that some time back Madame M had stepped in Tabu's shoes (rather mojris) for Sanjay Chhel's MAAN GAYE MUGHAL-E-AZAM.

With the spoof on the historic saga Mughal-E-Azam, apparently the producers were unwilling to pay the price Tabu asked for, when Mallika was literally crowned the 'queen' for this Mughal takeoff. But with ALL THE BEST, the fact that Mallika was charging a bomb was unlooked. Reportedly there was a delay in the shooting with Sanju's political campaigning, so the actress' dates were lost with no possibility to accommodate the film. So now Tabu has been approached, who has shown an interest in the project.

It is heard that it was producer Ajay Devgan's idea to cast Tabu, his good friend with their renowned onscreen chemistry in films like HAQEEQAT, VIJAYPATH & TAKSHAK. After playing a sikhni militant in MAACHIS, murderer in MAQBOOL and a taciturn housewife in NAMESAKE, ALL THE BEST will mark this two time national award winner's retreat to mainstream cinema after a much awaited hiatus. We wish the Ruk-Ruk girl 'All the Best!' for this glam doll role.

A Times of India report of September 2, 2001, based on inter-caste marriage killings in Bihar and which said, ‘Falling in love is a sacrilege in Alinagar, barely 200 km from
Delhi,’ apparently made a lasting impression on Bollywood’s comedy king Priyadarshan.

“The memory of that report stayed with me for eight years,” says Priyadarshan who, after working on a script for six months, is now starting a film based on the killings that had shaken the core of India. The film, to be produced by Kumar Mangat, will go on the floors in August and it will feature Ajay Devgan and Akshaye Khanna as CBI officers — one on deputation to the village, the other a local officer.

The female lead is being kept a secret, but there is indication that Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Asin are in talks with the producer. Mangat, refusing to comment on his choice of heroine, says, “Omkara brought a lot of critical acclaim to my banner. It was widely appreciated in the US and at international film festivals. I’m sure this film will also make a huge cinematic statement.”

For Priyadarshan, who has to his credit a mixed bag of films like Viraasat, Saza-e-Kala Paani, Kanjeevaram... and some brain-dead comedies like Mere Baap Pehle Aap and Garam Masala, this untitled venture is a break from his comic reign. “At least I will break away from the remake rut,” he admits candidly.

This Ajay-Akshaye film is a thriller. Priyan points out that even in this current age the barbaric caste killings continue to dominate Alinagar because here any attempt to plead the cause of love and marriage of inter-caste relationships is seen as an intrusion into their affairs.

Kein Remake von Priyadarshan
Ein Bericht in der Times of India am 2. September 2001 beschäftigte sich mit einem Massaker in Bihar, das wegen einer Beziehung über Kastengrenzen hinweg stattfand. Er war überschrieben mit "In Alinagar - nur 200 Kilometer von Delhi entfernt - ist es eine Schande, sich zu verlieben" und hinterließ anscheinend einen bleibenden Eindruck beim Komödienkönig Bollywoods, bei Priyadarshan.
"Acht Jahre lang ist mir dieser Bericht im Gedächtnis geblieben", sagt Priyadarshan, der sechs Monate am Drehbuch gearbeitet hat und jetzt mit dem Film über die Morde anfängt, die Indien im Herzen erschüttert haben. Die Dreharbeiten für den von Kumar Mangat produzierten Film werden im August beginnen. Die männlichen Hauptrollen werden Ajay Devgan and Akshaye Khanna als CBI Offiziere spielen — einer als Polizist im Dorf, der andere als Vorgesetzter aus der Region.
Über die weibliche Hauptrolle herrscht noch Rätselraten, aber es gibt Anzeichen dafür, dass der Produzent mit Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone und Asin Gespräche führt. Mangat möchte das nicht kommentieren und sagt dazu: "OMKARA hat unserer Firma viel Anerkennung eingebracht. Der Film wurde sowohl in den Staaten als auch auf internationalen Filmfestivals hoch geschätzt. Und ich bin sicher, auch dieser Film wird unter cineastischen Gesichtspunkten beachtenswert sein."
Für Priyadarshan, der schon ziemlich unterschiedliche Filme wie VIRAASAT, SAZA-E-KALA PAANI, KANJEEVARAM und ein paar hirnlose Komödien wie MBPA und GARAM MASALA gedreht hat, bedeutet dieser Streifen eine Unterbrechung des Komödienreigens: "Zumindest werde ich aus der Remake-Schiene herauskommen", bekennt er aufrichtig.
Der Ajay-Akshaye-Film ist ein Thriller. Priyan hebt hervor, dass gegenwärtig die barbarischen Fememorde in Alinagar weitergehen und dort jeder Versuch, Liebe und Heirat zwischen verschiedenen Kasten möglich zu machen, als Einmischung in private Angelegenheiten betrachtet wird.

Mumbai: Political commitments of actor Sanjay Dutt might be keeping him busy as 'Baba' is constantly heading to the Indian capital and various other cities to attend his party's (Samajwadi Party) meetings, but he is not letting politics become a priority over his first love - cinema.

The Bollywood star, who has become closely associated with Ajay Devgan who's producing/acting in All The Best, we hear is creatively involved with his good friend's project. He is also helping him take major decisions regarding the project and has been holding many meetings with key people in the industry along with Ajay.

DNA has learnt that as soon as he realised that his association with politics would see him travel out of the city frequently, he gifted Ajay with a Blackberry so that they could stay in touch constantly and hold telephonic conference calls as well as chat with him.

A source says, "Sanjay is actively into politics and has been travelling a lot for this but he's made sure that whenever Ajay needs him, he's going to be there. For this, he has gifted him the phone. Ajay previously had an iPhone."

The source adds, "Ajay and Sanjay discuss everything about the project and are constantly in touch with each other. They conduct business meetings, sharing important data related to the film and even cheer each other up when they are stressed out with all the work. The gift is proving to be beneficial for their bond which is only growing.

Fardeen Khan who is also acting in the film is also in touch with Baba over the phone."
Confirming the news, director Rohit Shetty told us, "Yes, it is true (that they are always over the phone to discuss about key issues regarding the project). Both are gadget freaks and now they have become Blackberry buddies!"

Sanju hat Ajay ein Blackberry geschenkt, damit die beiden ständig in Kontakt bleiben können, auch wenn Sanju gerade nicht am Set oder z.B. in Sachen Politik unterwegs ist. Seitdem nutzen es beide ausgiebig für Telefonkonferenzen und Chats, auch in Sachen All The Best, wo Sanju offensichtlich auch in den kreativen Prozess involviert ist und Ajay bei wichtigen Entscheidungen berät. Die Freundschaft zwischen den beiden ist durch dieses Geschenk wohl noch tiefer geworden. Rohit Shetty bestätigt, dass beide ganz verrückt nach dem Teil sind und "Blackberry Buddies" geworden sind.

Ajay Devgan has had Mugdha Godse 'stoned'. The model-turned-actress is currently shooting in Goa for his film All The Best. Nursing a road accident injury that causes pain in the back and neck, Mugdha has started wearing a stone amulet on her arm like Devgan.

It is learnt that the actor-producer suggested B-Town's stone specialist Dr Dilip Kumar to the newbie.
Says a unit source, "The doctor has been spotted on the sets in Goa. He's been advising her not only about the right stones to wear but has also been providing her acupressure treatment. The Fashion actress began wearing the amulet some days ago."

For relief from pain

Mugdha met with an accident on the Mumbai-Pune expressway on May 5. She says, "Due to the impact, I still experience pain and discomfort. I was told to consult Dr Dilip Kumar for relief from pain. Initially, I did acupressure therapy and now I have begun wearing the amulet."

She adds, "Whenever I wear it, there is relief. In fact, as soon as I remove it, there is a distinct discomfort. Stone therapy is a science, several people wear rings with different stones, so why not an amulet made of stones?"

In fact, director Rohit Shetty has included the amulet as part of her All The Best character's accessories. "So that I don't have to remove it. My persona is quite colourful in the film and it gels with it. Only if the scene demands, I remove it and keep it my pocket for those moments."

Mugdha, who also features in Madhur Bhandarkar's Jail, feels that as the amulet looks trendy, it goes well with whatever she wears.

Rohit Shetty gives new meaning to the phrase “got it for a song”.

The Bollywood director who spent Rs 6 crore on the song Tha Kar Ke featuring Kareena Kapoor and Ajay Devgan in Golmaal Returns, has upped the ante on another number in his next film — Ajay Devgan’s All The Best.
“Ajay is bindaas! The song is shot on all the actors — Ajay, Bipasha Basu, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan and Mughda Godse, it cost Rs 6.5 crore and is definitely bigger than Tha Kar Ke,” said Rohit.



The number was shot over six days on a beach in South Goa. “When Sanju saw the song he said, ‘Bahut bada hai, yaar’. I took around 1,700 people from Mumbai and around 300 locals from Goa for it. It was difficult to manage the crowd but we pulled it off pretty well,” said Rohit who “didn’t break his record intentionally”.

Mit 6,5 cr ist dieser Song, in dem neben den drei Herren auch noch Bipasha und Mughda mitwirken, noch teurer als "Tha Kar Ke" in Golmaal Returns, und auch bei den Dimensionen hat sich Rohit Shetty noch einmal selbst überboten - wenn man der TOI glauben darf, waren 1700 Menschen aus Mumbai und 300 aus Goa daran beteiligt.

Fardeen Khan was in no position to face the camera yesterday. The actor, who is shooting in Goa for All The Best, did not can a single scene as he was extremely disturbed by the loss of his pet.

Tiger, the 15-year-old dog, passed away on Monday. He was very attached to the pooch, who had been an integral part of their household. Though they have other pets, Tiger, had a special place in their lives.

It is learnt that Fardeen had bought home Tiger, a wounded stray, whom he then took to the vet for treatment. The pooch never left his side since.

Says a source, "Though Fardeen reported for the shoot, he just could not give it his best. Producer Ajay Devgan, though admittedly not a dog lover, understood Fardeen's grief and gave him the day off.

The dog had not been keeping well of late, and Fardeen had recently made a trip to Mumbai from the lengthy outdoor schedule to check on Tiger's failing health.

Adds the source, "On hearing about Tiger's demise, Fardeen sent his wife Natasha (who is accompanying him on the shoot) to give him a decent funeral."

Double sorrow

The source continues, "His sorrow has doubled. First Fardeen lost his dad, and now Tiger. He is still grieving for his dad. His pet's loss is another big blow to him."

The schedule ends at the end of the month, and Fardeen is dreading returning home without Tiger at the doorstep to greet him.

Rohit Shetty is one director who sure believes in pushing the envelope every single time!

While working on the super hit GOLMAAL RETURNS, the filmmaker made headlines for shooting the most expensive Bollywood song 'Tha Kar Ke' for the film. And now he has created history once again by breaking his own record in his next laugh riot 'All The Best'!!!

Earlier the director had created a highly stylish & flamboyant track with lavish sets, costumes, artists and action sequences in GOLMAAL RETURNS starring Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead.

With a budget of approx 6 crore, 'Tha Kar Ke' became the costliest song in Hindi cinema!

And now Rohit goes one step further by creating another larger-than-life song for his next venture ALL THE BEST for which he is currently shooting in Goa. Choreographed by the talented duo Bosco - Ceasar to music from Pritam, Rohit has left no stone unturned to create a musical extravaganza!!! He especially flew down 1000 dancers from Mumbai and arranged for 1000 more locals from Goa for the song; which is more than double the number of artists used in 'Tha Karke'!!!

Spread over 6 days of shooting, the song has been picturised on Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu and Mugdha Godse on a beautiful virgin beach of Goa with elaborate sets made by Narendra Rahurikar. If the sparks generated by the dynamic starcast wasn't enough, the song will also have a plethora of fighters, expensive cars and bikes. Though, unlike in GOLMAAL RETURNS, there won't be any cars being blown up!!

And what has the captain of the ship, Rohit got to say to this? ''Since the producer is Ajay Devgan, he has given me complete creative liberty and hasn't yet presented me with the bill!!!!'' he joked!

This Diwali bonanza produced by Ajay Devgan Films is all set to hit the theatres on 16th Oct '09 and is Co-produced by Kumar Mangat while the Executive Producer is Vikrant Sharma.
