Chopra planning to repeat 'Parineeta' team
The "Parineeta" team of Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan and director Pradeep Sarkar could come together again in a Vidhu Vinod Chopra film.
The "Parineeta" team of Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan and director Pradeep Sarkar could come together again in a Vidhu Vinod Chopra film.
"I am not in a position to confirm the news yet but talks are definitely on for another project with the same team," Sam Fernandes of Vinod Chopra Productions was quoted as saying by Bollywood Trade.
After the extraordinary response it received at the IIFA Awards, "Parineeta" seems to be on a winning spree at the box-office too, especially at some of the multiplexes in Mumbai, Pune and Kolkata.
The distributors, UTV, are said to have introduced nine additional prints of the film this week, in keeping with its encouraging response.
The voice that enthralled Ramu!
The latest to praise Ram Gopal Varma is singer Mohana Sarkar, who got the big break of her career in his production "D" and is now going places.
Mohana whose voice has a striking resemblance to that of Asha Bhonsle was called by music director Nitin Raikar and initially signed to render the "Khudko maar dala" number in the film.
However, Varma was so impressed with her voice that he decided to use it for two more songs, the "Dhokebaaz" number and its re-mix, reports Bollywood Trade.
"It was incredible. I couldn't believe that things were happening so fast in my career, Ramu-ji approving my voice first and then asking me to sing more numbers in the film. It is a privilege to have a mentor like him," says Mohana, who is still trying to come to terms with the overnight success in her career.
