Kartik Aryan, the lead actor of Kaanchi, shares his experince of working with the superstar Mithun Chakraborty.

"My first scene was with Mithun Chakraborty Sir. I was speechless and I couldn’t say even say the dialogue! Just then Mithun Da sensed my nervousness and settled me down. He said, ‘Beta tu aisa kar, aisa kar’ and he explained the scene to me. I gained confidence and as able to give a good shot."

Subhash Ghai shooting a mammoth dance number with Rishi Kapoor after 32 years

Subhash Ghai and Rishi Kapoor are coming together for a dance number after 32 years on the sets of his upcoming film Kaanchi. Their last film Karz had super hit songs that are remembered for their evergreen melody and the signature Karz tune. Subhash Ghai’s brilliant ideas involving the revolving stage in ‘Meri umar ke nau jawaanon’ and the shadow play seen in ‘Ek haseena thi’ have stood the test of time and proved their mettle with the audience time and again.

Now, 32 years later, Subhash Ghai and Rishi Kapoor are presently shooting in Film City in a mammoth set for a song in the latest Ghai film, Kaanchi. The choreographer for the song is Ganesh Acharya . A huge, grand set has been erected in the Film City premises only for this song. The cast and crew are really excited considering the previous history of this creative endeavour between Subhash Ghai and Rishi Kapoor. The stage is set for another chartbuster from Subhash Ghai.

Chemistry between the lead actors of Subhash Ghai movies

Subhash Ghai's movies are known for the great chemistry between the actors. Right from  Shatrughan Sinha and Reena Roy in Kalicharan, Rishi Kapoor and Tina in Karz to Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in Yuuvraaj. Following are some of the most memorable pairs from Subhash Ghai movies:
 

Shatrughan Sinha and Reena Roy

Kalicharan was a breakthrough role for both Shatrughan Sinha and Reena Roy. Kalicharan was Subhash Ghai's debut film and it made Reena and Shatrughan the most sought after lead jodi. Even today people talk of their chemistry in the film.


Rishi Kapoor and Tina Munim

Rishi's chemistry with co-star Tina Munim and the incredible dance sequences in Om Shanti Om and Paisa Yeh Paisa created a big furore when Karz released in 1980. The movie was remade in 2008 by director Satish Kaushik.

Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit

This was also one of many movies in which Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit were paired opposite each other. Their pairing together in the 90s is legendary and they are considered one of the most successful pairs in Bollywood.

Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai

 

 Taal was a breakthrough film for Aishwarya Rai and the pairing of her with Akshaye Khanna was a hit in Bollywood. The film's beautiful music added to their on screen charm.

Will Mishti and Kartik repeate the legacy? 

 Stay tuned!

Kartik Aryan, "I am a romantic person at heart"

When recently asked the lead actor of Subhash Ghai’s movie Kaanchi, Kartik Aryan, about his fond memories of this beautiful and romantic season, this is what he had to say, 

“Firstly I love Monsoon, watching it from the window of my home is the best feeling ever. I still remember the first rain of the season; me and my friend just went out wandering the streets and got totally drenched. 
When it comes to shooting, yes, it does affect the shooting schedule. But I think everyone should enjoy this beautiful season to the fullest maaza aata hai bohot baarish mein and it’s a romantic season plus, I am a romantic person at heart so… (Grinning)”

Well, Kartik we are sure your female fans will be very glad to read this. While the Monsoon continues to disrupt the shooting schedule of many movies Kartik feels everyone should enjoy this beautiful season.

Kaanchi is directed by Subhash Ghai starring newcomer Mishti, Kartik Aryan, Rishi Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty, and is slated to release on 30th August, 2013.

Yesterday Once More

After a five-year hiatus, the Showman is back with a new film, Kaanchi, which also launches a new face, Mishti. 

Mirror lensman Sachin Haralkar was present at Film City, Goregaon, where a fresh schedule of the movie was being shot by Subhash Ghai. 

Seen in the photograph are Mithun Chakraborty and Rishi Kapoor hugging each other and looking rather animated as if having a fun conversation. 

An eyewitness said: "The two of them get busy talking to each other in between shots. Ghai too joins them and sometimes, gets nostalgic, taking a trip down memory lane. However, once it is time to shoot, they all become rather focussed and concentrate on what they are supposed to do." 

According to the eyewitness, as Ghai has worked with Rishi and Mithun previously, the trio share a great equation and the atmosphere on the sets is always charged. Apparently, at some point during the shoot, Ghai even remarked: "Magic is created by two things, the characters written in the script and the characters played by the actors. And I only work with people I have a rapport with."

Kartik Tiwari, "Subhash Ghai is going to make it big with Kaanchi"

Subhash Ghai returns to direction after a hiatus of five years with this ambitious project. Ghai had last directed the Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Yuvvraaj.

Ghai has been a wonderful mentor to Kartik, who plays the male lead in Kaanchi. Talking about his shooting experience, the actors says, "We shot in Nainital for 15-20 days and it felt like a picnic. The place was beautiful and we'd end up partying every day. But we also worked very hard".

Elaborating on the showman of Bollywood, he adds, "Subhash sir is very clear with what he wants. He saw to it that we completed our daily schedule on time. I don't know how he managed that. This was my first experience with him and he's happy with the entire cast. He has so much passion and energy, I can't imagine myself in his shoes and doing what he does. The amount of effort he's put into Kaanchi, he's going to make it big with this film"

Karitk is ready to do anything on screen!

As a new comer in the Hindi film industry, Kartik is willing to do anything as long as the role demands it, as the actor puts it.

"It depends on the need of the story, script and character. If I feel fully connected to the character, then why not? I think like a real person and what he would do in that given situation. As an actor, you have to be free and can't afford to be shy. You have to be besharam. I take my profession very seriously so I don't have any doubts regarding characters I play".

Kaanchi also stars Mithun Chakraborty, Mishti and Rishi Kapoor and is slated for an August release.

Are you guys excited to watch him on the Big Screen in Kaanchi?

Subhash Ghai: "Kaanchi is a promising film"

Mumbai, May 13 (IANS) Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who is currently busy with his directorial venture "Kaanchi", calls it a promising film that has been made with great energy and passion.

"'Kaanchi' is a very promising film. I have made it with great energy and passion and I hope that you (audience) will feel that energy and passion in the theatre," Ghai told reporters here Sunday during the celebration of 100 years of Indian cinema at his institute Whistling Woods International.
"Kaanchi" features Kartik Tiwari and newcomer Mishti in the lead roles. The film also features Rishi Kapoor and Mithoon Chakraborty.

In his more than three-decade-long career so far, Ghai not only discovered talents like Manisha Koirala (with "Saudagar") and Mahima Chaudhry (with "Pardes") but has also worked with big and established stars like Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and Shah Rukh Khan, among others.

And now in his latest directorial "Kaanchi", he is working with new faces but for Ghai, it is the story which is important.

According to him, everyone who can pull out the character in his film, is a star for him.
"For me, only that person is star who is in front of the camera at that moment, whether he is a newcomer, or a star," Ghai said.

"For me, my subject, my story (that I am telling) is important. For me, all the actors with whom I am working are superstars and vice-versa. Even a superstar is always an actor for me, who is playing a character," he added.

"Kaanchi" is a love story of a young, beautiful girl from northern mountains, who fights against power.

It is slated to release Aug 30.

Subhash Ghai, "I am working with fine actors"

The shooting of Kaanchi was supposed to be done in Madh island (Mumbai) before it shifted to Nainital, and I love the fact that we chose the new location :)

On the sets, Subhash Ghai encourages the entire unit! Especially me and Kartik Tiwari

I was glad when Subhash Ghai said this,
"I am working with fine actors, Mithun and Chintoo (Rishi Ji) are my friends and Mishti & Kartik are very talented. After pack-up it's party time for everyone on the sets and we enjoy a lot. Shooting in Nainital is fun and the weather is super here!"

Oh no!

While shooting for a particular scene with Rishi Kapoor, I had to sprinkle water on his face. But, knowing that Rishi ji is such a Big Star I was nervous to do so.

We had to do a couple of retakes but Rishi Ji took it sportingly and smiled and made me comfortable. It was a relief and a pleasure to work with him!

Every Woman is Beautiful and it just grows with time

The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
With passing years only grows!

Going where I belong...

From pop star to villain

Subash ji shared his feeling that he found it difficult but fresh to change Rishi ji from a pop star to a villain.

There is still strong impression in Subhash ji's mind of Rishi ji's character in Karz as a  pop star, hence, he took sometime to leave that picture of Rishi ji behind and portray him as a villain, which was a success without a doubt.

Hope you will like Rishi ji's villain character in Kaanchi just the way you liked his pop star character in Karz

Always in style!

Subhash Ghai and Rishi Kapoor met after 32 years on the sets of a movie for the shoot of Kaanchi, after the legendary hit movie KARZ

Everyone was thrilled to see Rishi ji on the sets in his new and never before look! I couldn't describe in words how it felt to have him on the sets. But what happened later was something no one would have expected. When the scene was about to start and Subhash ji said "Action" Rishi ji started playing the famous tune from KARZ and took everyone by great surprise.

It was a pleasant thing to happen on the sets and I am so glad I was present to witness this.

Will continue to share such exciting news and behind the scenes from the sets :)
