Azim looks up to Salman, SRK and Aamir Khan
To make his character in "Qasam Se Qasam Se" appear realistic, Azim frequented call centre offices to absorb the finer nuances of the people working there. "It was quite a relevation for me as an actor.
I witnessed not only people's mannerisms but also the activities they indulge in during the break hour. Looking into the mirror, some guys would be busy ruffling their hair and taking care of their looks, while some would busy binging.
And there would others catching up with family and friends over their cell phones. This has helped shaped my character in the film.
" Azim feels that all our veteran actors were keen observers and would translate that on screen. "Whether it were the legendary actors like Dilip Kumar or the late Raj Kapoor or Dev Anand , they were schools in themselves.
I am a great fan of Salman Khan , Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan and look at them as a student who looks upon his guru. I am mastering the art of acting watching their films," he smiles

(less)I never thought I'd be a desirable woman: Sameera Reddy
"My name in the list means a lot to me. As as a young girl, I never thought even in my wildest dreams that I would become a desirable woman.
I yearned for a perfect body as I was ugly duckling in school. But now that I have entered films, I believe that beauty is hidden in the imperfections of people and it all depends on how you use them.
That's my definition of desirable and I am glad to have made it to the list," says Sameera. The actor is basking in the success of her last Tamil release opposite Madhavan and has Padma Shri Priyadarshan's Tezz to look forward to.

Sherlyn is also happy that she has gone from being just a pin-up girl to an entrepreneur.
Says she, "The rapid metamorphosis in my case would not have been possible had the mindsets of the majority of the people in the Hindi film industry continued to be goverened by prejudices. I look upto entrepreneurs who command respect and attention for daring to think out of the box and act accordingly.
They do not have a herd mentality. What they have is unadulterated creativity which is set on fire by courage.
" Naming films like " The Dirty Picture ", " Erin Brokovich ", " No One Killed Jessica "," The Black Swan " as cinema that has changed the way we think, Sherlyn says, "Unconventionality is no longer a taboo. It is being applauded and celebrated by both the classes and the masses.
The pulse of the youth is racing towards liberalisation. And I'm truly loving it.
" Asked why she decided to give us photographs that resembled those of the " Jism 2 " campaign, the actor quips, "I have pushed the envelope by choosing to cover my nakedness with nothing but pure consciousness."

She was high on energy and the audience was extremely excited about it. The stage was grand and Gaga was in her spirits," said a teenager, who saw Gaga perform at a special 20,000 sq ft construction at the Jaypee Greens Golf and Spa Resort in Greater Noida.
The party was hosted by Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal and restaurateur AD Singh's lounge-bar LAP here Sunday night (October 30, 2011). Gaga had said at a press conference that her performance would have some Indian influence.
And she kept her promise. Dressed in a white, knee-length dress with open, blonde locks, Gaga collaborated with a sitar player to offer some fusion music to the guests.
She also sang some of her popular hits as well as new songs from her latest album Born This Way , according to a party insider. She ended her performance with a warm and cheerful Namaste India , said a source.

(less)I decided to nurture Kamal Haasan, the actor: Kamal
If my dates are being wasted, the project becomes mine," he said in an interview. Earlier, Selva Raghavan was supposed to wield the megaphone for the film.
The 57-year-old, who has spent 50 years in front of the camera, said: "People advised, scolded and counselled me about my career. So one day I woke up and decided to nurture Kamal Haasan, the actor.
" Excerpts from the interview: Q: Viswaroopam is a project whose direction you had to take over? A: It was my project and my story. Then time was running out.
Sonakshi Sinha's dates were gone. My dates were also running out.
I do one project at a time. If the director doesn't respect my time, I will have to.
If my dates are being wasted, the project becomes mine. I've limited time, what with me celebrating a birthday every year.
I wish I could celebrate my birthday like the government, every five years. Q: Viswaroopam is said to be inspired by the Anthony Hopkins starrer Hannibal ? A: After I read that, I was really inspired to think about a film based on Hannibal .
I may do that in the future. Not this time.
Viswaroopam , I am keeping the theme close to my chest. Here in Tamil Nadu, the press has a tendency to jump the gun, draw conclusions and create trouble.
For example, if I make a spiritual film, they'll say since it's Kamal Haasan, it has to be subversive, so they'll ban it even before it's ready. Q: Where is Viswaroopam set? A: The US, India, Britain, Jordan.
..
Q: It's being shot simultaneously in two languages..
. A: That's right.
In Hindi and Tamil. My first bi-lingual since Hey Ram .
Dasavathaaram got dubbed into Hindi, but the vocabulary was twisted. Unless it's a really funny film like Appu Raja , the dubbing doesn't work.
The culture-specifications come in the way. How do I say jaise karni vaise bharni in Tamil? That's why we're doing a double version of Viswaroopam and needed a leading lady who had no fear of languages.
Om Puri saab has that fear. He refuses to do a Tamil film.
Some people fear the unknown too much. I embrace it.
Q: Viswaroopam was supposed to co-star Sonakshi Sinha. What happened? A: There were dates issue.
We tried to work it out but there were legal contracts and any delay would have had repercussions. So we had to regretfully move on.
But there was no ugliness, no bitterness or ego hassles. Q: Wasn't she really young for you? A: That was the way it was written.
I was playing my age. She was playing hers.
Q: Your leading lady in Viswaroopam ? A: She's Pooja Kumar, a Broadway actress from New York. Punjabi girl of Indian origin.
It's a big break for her. Viswaroopam is probably the biggest film being made in Tamil Nadu right now.
Q: You completed 57 years in November. Out of these 50 years in front of the camera.
Aren't you exhausted? A: The day I start looking at acting as work, I would be. Working for money or fame saps you.
I stopped doing that 25 years back. The only time I am really happy is when I am in front of the camera.
When I am not, I start ruminating, retrospecting and brooding. I equate acting to building card-houses, which I used to do as a child.
..
My mother used to shout at me, 'Are you building the Taj Mahal?' For me it was building the Taj Mahal. Today, I feel like Shah Jahan trying to build something taller than me (my career).
My work is my card-house. I truly admire what they do on the beaches of Orissa.
They create true work of art on the beaches and then watch the wind and the waters sweep it away. Q: How do you manage to get so excited about your films even today? A: Because the first 100 films that I got were market-driven.
They were films which everyone presumed were going by the market demand. Actually there was so much I wanted to do.
People advised, scolded and counselled me about my career. So one day I woke up and decided to nurture Kamal Haasan, the actor.

No. But since then the track record has been pretty good actually - apart from one - but the first one was really awful," he added.

(less)I decided to nurture Kamal Haasan, the actor: Kamal
If my dates are being wasted, the project becomes mine," he said in an interview. Earlier, Selva Raghavan was supposed to wield the megaphone for the film.
The 57-year-old, who has spent 50 years in front of the camera, said: "People advised, scolded and counselled me about my career. So one day I woke up and decided to nurture Kamal Haasan, the actor.
" Excerpts from the interview: Q: Viswaroopam is a project whose direction you had to take over? A: It was my project and my story. Then time was running out.
Sonakshi Sinha's dates were gone. My dates were also running out.
I do one project at a time. If the director doesn't respect my time, I will have to.
If my dates are being wasted, the project becomes mine. I've limited time, what with me celebrating a birthday every year.
I wish I could celebrate my birthday like the government, every five years. Q: Viswaroopam is said to be inspired by the Anthony Hopkins starrer Hannibal ? A: After I read that, I was really inspired to think about a film based on Hannibal .
I may do that in the future. Not this time.
Viswaroopam , I am keeping the theme close to my chest. Here in Tamil Nadu, the press has a tendency to jump the gun, draw conclusions and create trouble.
For example, if I make a spiritual film, they'll say since it's Kamal Haasan, it has to be subversive, so they'll ban it even before it's ready. Q: Where is Viswaroopam set? A: The US, India, Britain, Jordan.
..
Q: It's being shot simultaneously in two languages..
. A: That's right.
In Hindi and Tamil. My first bi-lingual since Hey Ram .
Dasavathaaram got dubbed into Hindi, but the vocabulary was twisted. Unless it's a really funny film like Appu Raja , the dubbing doesn't work.
The culture-specifications come in the way. How do I say jaise karni vaise bharni in Tamil? That's why we're doing a double version of Viswaroopam and needed a leading lady who had no fear of languages.
Om Puri saab has that fear. He refuses to do a Tamil film.
Some people fear the unknown too much. I embrace it.
Q: Viswaroopam was supposed to co-star Sonakshi Sinha. What happened? A: There were dates issue.
We tried to work it out but there were legal contracts and any delay would have had repercussions. So we had to regretfully move on.
But there was no ugliness, no bitterness or ego hassles. Q: Wasn't she really young for you? A: That was the way it was written.
I was playing my age. She was playing hers.
Q: Your leading lady in Viswaroopam ? A: She's Pooja Kumar, a Broadway actress from New York. Punjabi girl of Indian origin.
It's a big break for her. Viswaroopam is probably the biggest film being made in Tamil Nadu right now.
Q: You completed 57 years in November. Out of these 50 years in front of the camera.
Aren't you exhausted? A: The day I start looking at acting as work, I would be. Working for money or fame saps you.
I stopped doing that 25 years back. The only time I am really happy is when I am in front of the camera.
When I am not, I start ruminating, retrospecting and brooding. I equate acting to building card-houses, which I used to do as a child.
..
My mother used to shout at me, 'Are you building the Taj Mahal?' For me it was building the Taj Mahal. Today, I feel like Shah Jahan trying to build something taller than me (my career).
My work is my card-house. I truly admire what they do on the beaches of Orissa.
They create true work of art on the beaches and then watch the wind and the waters sweep it away. Q: How do you manage to get so excited about your films even today? A: Because the first 100 films that I got were market-driven.
They were films which everyone presumed were going by the market demand. Actually there was so much I wanted to do.
People advised, scolded and counselled me about my career. So one day I woke up and decided to nurture Kamal Haasan, the actor.

(less)I am not a Rockstar: Ranbir Kapoor
I nterestingly, to get into the character - Janardhan Jordan, Ranbir also learnt to play guitar on one song from the film which took him about a year, but the actor who has his feet firmly planted on the ground, repeatedly says, "I am not a rockstar , I am an actor and just expressing myself. My voice in the film, Mohit Chauhan and other acclaimed musicians associated with the film are the real rockstars.
" Ranbir, who is undoubtedly getting ready to claim his legacy, is leaving no stone unturned in taking the film to the audience as it is surely going to make a huge difference to his career. Rockstar is a solo hero film besides being a prestigious banner and talented director Imtiaz Ali (with two big hits) wielding the baton.
And as the actor recently said in an interview that he wants to be the India's biggest star. And o ne of the significant moves is that the actor will be giving his first live performance for the Rockstar concert where the Bollywood heart-throb will perform live in front of thousands of people in Mumbai on November 1.
This is perhaps the most awaited moment for Ranbir's fans. This will end all the speculations about his stage performances.
And obviously, the aim of having this concert is to take the film's music to the audience in a big way. What is more, in another rare move, music maestro and genius A R Rahman will be performing live in concert.
Rahman has specially flown down his talented band to be a part of this concert and is rehearsing with the team currently. Joining Rahman and Ranbir in this concert will be Rahman's long term associate music arranger Ranjit Barot and percussion guru Sivamani.
S adda Haq , the song that has become a rage with the youth will be the highlight of the concert. Jo Bhi Main, Kun Faaya Kun (with the original qawwali singers), Katiyan Karun, Nadaan Parinde and Tum Ho will also be performed at the concert

Since the pop star has sung the Chammak Challo song, he could perform it at the party and help promote the film." "But alas! SRK's plan to kill two birds with one stone didn't work, as Akon didn't accept his offer.
Reason? The singer wasn't apparently pleased with the money offered, which was half his market price. It was only later that Arjun's team apparently decided to approach the pop diva Lady Gaga.

Not known to indulge stars with over-fattened pay cheques, the Bhatts have yet to come to a mutually agreeable fee with Sunny. Sunny says, "I really liked meeting Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja.
But whether I am doing their movie or not, I am not sure yet. It depends on a lot of factors including how my adult-content business in the US reacts to my Bollywood aspirations.
" However, the actress says that she loved the part that was narrated to her. "It was deep and enigmatic.
And it was for the main lead. That's the kind of start I'd like in Bollywood.
And if things go well I'd like to take up a career in Bollywood." In fact, the actress even says that if this industry clicks for her, she will even let go of acting in adult-content films.
In this film where Sunny will play a honeytrap, apparently Arunoday Singh is being cast as one of the two male leads. Though Mahesh Bhatt denied it, Arunoday said, "I am not sure about Jism 2 .
Nothing formal has been discussed." Buzz is he being pencilled in to play a very macho character.
