I am very excited. I will direct it myself since I know the graph of the film.

With due respect to all other directors, I can proudly say that no one can make a better Tarzan than me. It was released in 1985.

And it is a new challenge for me to present it in this period and generation." About Muzammil Ibrahim being the new age Tarzan in his venture, the filmmaker said, "I am talking to him but give me a few weeks to confirm the casting.

Tarzan is a heroic character and everyone loves him for his innocence. We love the kind of person Tarzan is.

Muzammil fits the bill. We are working out possibilities of him playing the lead.

" When contacted, the actor, who was last seen in Will You Marry Me? confirmed that he has indeed met B Subhash. "He wants me to play Tarzan to be shot in 3D.

However, the entire project is in a very nascent stage. I can't say anything else.

I haven't seen the old Tarzan yet." The film will go on floors in within the next couple of months.

He is a hero we can all love and laugh at. And with De Dana Dan, life has come full circle for this ?adorable buffoon?.

Like all Priyan films it?s a maze, perhaps the biggest of them all. Two broke pals, their rich girlfriends desperate to marry them, the girls? respective fathers desperate to marry them off elsewhere, a bankrupt businessman who?s getting his useless son engaged to every heiress in town to pay off his debts , assorted characters like a Chinese don, a hired assassin, a rich bitch, an police officer, a club dancer, an ambassador, his young frustrated wife, a letch, a drunken waiter, a dead body nobody wants and above all.

..

Moolchandji - the most pampered dog in the world. Throw in a kidnapping or dognapping to be precise, mistaken identities and mistaken room numbers; an assassin on the prowl, a wedding, a couple of item songs and you get a perfect masala for a typical Priyan film where everyone is running amok in the end.

A heart patient, he has a nurse attending to him 24/7, as he is mostly bedridden. In the past, he has also been hospitalised.

During the puja week, he suffered from a cold and flu. As a result, the family could not take any chances.

Says Raaja, "He was still extremely keen to visit the pandal. We did take him for a very short while on one of the days.

"The Mukerjis attended the celebrations of the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Committee at Santa Cruz. Every year the family including Rani serves food during the bhog.

"This has been the family custom for years," says Rajaa who is in the midst of the production of his first Hindi film Life Isse Gala Laga Le, a youthcentric film about the various pressures in life. Written and directed by Yogesh Pagare, it features Adhyayan Suman, Divya Dutta, Rahul Dev, Anita Hasanandani, Aushima Sawhney, Himani Shivpuri and newbie Vaibhavi Upadhyay.

Rani's brother had earlier directed the Bengali film, Bidhata Lekha. Taking Rani's example who lost oodles of weight through yoga, Raaja Mukerji too has shed the kilos.

"The difference is noticeable as people are noticing it.I must have knocked off at least 10 kilos.

I have been doing yoga besides controlled eating. I have also turned vegetarian.

As my wife Jyoti is also a vegetarian I, too, decided for health reasons." (less)

Raghunathan Iyer (Rishi Rehan) is a project manager at a multinational company. Being very with his job profile, his boss (Raj Babbar) wants to send him to New York but due to some emergency at a project in Chandigarh he has forget about New York and move for Chandigarh.

Raghu meets Pinky (Avantika) in Chandigarh and despite having no faith in love he falls for Pinky (just like all the logically foolish love stories). The representative of modernism in Chandigarh, Pinky slips straight to Raghu?s bed at their third meeting and after two months she returns only to say that she is pregnant with Raghu?s child.

She asks Raghu to meet her parents once so that she can later on easily tell them the reality about the child. Raghu marries Pinky immediately after meeting her parents.

But they keep their marriage a secret. When Pinky?s parents come to know about their marriage, they, like typical Punjabi, come to Raghu?s office to kill him.

Being the only daughter in the family, Pinky easily wins the heart of her five brothers. But her father, subadar Arminder Singh (Prem Chopra) forsakes the relationship with her.

Afterwards, the story witnesses a lot of turns and twists and reaches the happy ending (as it?s very usual). If films are always prone to have one or the other fault, Khusboo is the uncrowned king among flawed entertainers.

It?s really sad that despite having keen eyes to find a better moment, the film doesn?t offer anything praiseworthy. Including direction and first appearance of Rishi and Avantika, all are very weak (less)

Lucy Liu has been quietly shooting in Mumbai for her film Meena over the last few days. The Hollywood star's directorial venture -- about forced prostitution and sex trafficking -- has an Indian setting.

It is part of the series Half The Sky: The Six Stories, that are being directed by American actresses to highlight various women's issues in the developing world. Best known for her work in movies like Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill, Kung Fu Panda and the TV series Ally McBeal, Lucy has been shunning media attention in Mumbai.

Along with her crew, she has been staying at a distant suburban hotel --far from the usual starry hotspots.The unit has been shooting at bungalows in Andheri and surrounding areas.

Meena stars Tannishta Chatterjee, Himani Shivpuri and??Vikas Shrivastava. Lucy's film has a Bihar setting and is being filmed in Hindi spoken with a Bihari accent.

It will have English subtitles for the Western world. Everyone associated with the project is bound by secrecy and is tightlipped about Lucy's instructions.

Says a source, "Lucy does not want any attention till she wraps up the film. The shoot happens between 7 am to 7 pm and everyone has to report an hour earlier for make-up and costumes.

No visitors are allowed on the sets."The source adds, "Lucy is warm and caring on the sets.

She throws no airs about being a Hollywood star. She is committed to women's issues, which is why she took on the project.

However, in Bollywood, he is known most for his comic outings. On the other hand Johnny Lever is Bollywood's longest surviving comedian, especially in the times when leading men have started enacting comical and villainous characters.

A veteran of over 200 movies, he has literally seen it and done all. However, in spite of both Priyadarshan and Johnny Lever being a part of the industry for more than 25 years, they never crossed path.

Even though Priyadarshan films usually boast of at least half a dozen comic characters, there was never a place for Johnny Lever. There were regulars like Paresh Rawal, Asrani, Rajpal Yadav, Manoj Joshi and Shakti Kapoor in most of his outings but Johnny Lever was always conspicuous by his absence.

This is why it makes for an event of sorts when Priyadarshan and Johnny Lever join hands for De Dana Dan , the first film ever that sees the two together. Though the film has more than two dozen characters, hence being the makers biggest ever comedy, there is promise of a well etched out role for Johnny Lever who would finally be making a debut in a Priyadarshan setup.

"Johnny has a very funny role in De Dana Dan . He plays a professional killer who has never been caught", informs Priyadarshan when asked about the comedian's part in the film, "He dumps people with chloroform.

The situation in the film is such that he has been assigned the responsibility of killing somebody but he gets a wrong identity. He starts hunting down someone whom he is not really supposed to kill.

All his attempts prove to be futile and how he keeps failing all the time, brings in a lot of humour in the film." One can't help but ask the film maker though as to what took him so long to rope in Johnny Lever? After all there would have been countless other opportunities where he could have fit in? "Johnny is a superb actor and both of us coming together should have been something special", says Priyadarshan, "I wanted to give him a role which should disappoint neither him nor me.

It should have been worthy enough. Finally, in De Dana Dan , I got a very interesting role for him.

When you watch the film, you would see for yourself that how he actually enhances the original Hera Pheri team of Akshay, Suniel and Paresh." Well, one really hopes so.

After all the man can be trusted to stand tall in a massive crowd that comprises of Archana Puran Singh, Asrani, Chunky Pandey, Manoj Joshi, Rajpal Yadav, Tinu Anand, Sharat Saxena and Himani Shivpuri other than the principal star cast (less)

It is termed as a legend in the history of Doordarshan. The new show has the same soul and spirit as that of Hum Log with real locations and real characterizations," Doctor told IANS.

"It's not a completely entertainment serial, we are giving you information as well as entertaining you," she added. While Hum Log was about a single family's ups and downs, travails and triumphs, Hum is on a "wider canvas", according to writer-director Sanjay Tripathy.

" Hum Log was a very honest effort, had good artists and good characterization, it was slice-of-life kind of show of one single family. In the new show, we have grown from a family to a new-age village," Tripathy said.

"While in Hum Log the issues were of a family, Hum is on a bigger canvas and talks about today's villages and their problems," he said. It is a story about five village women and how, due to socio-economic and political circumstances, they end up meeting at one point.

How they bring about a total change in the village is what the show is all about. It deals with women's rights.

"After Manohar Shyam Joshi, who wrote Hum Log , I didn't find anyone who could bring a good story but when I met Sanjay I found it was an exclusive and explosive talent, which I don't find in today's era," said Doctor. "It is time that we go away from havelis of Rajasthan, go away from palatial backgrounds.

And I have great faith that the younger generation is more receptive of information. It was very inspiring to work in actual locations and with actual people," she added.

The entire show has been shot at locations in the native village of co-producer Kavi Kumar. Village Malipur Pakdi is in Sitamarhi district, near Indo-Nepal border, 130 km from Patna.

Shooting in the remotest part of the state of Bihar was not an "easy task", admits Kavi Kumar. "From the finances point of view, it made a lot of sense for me to go outside and create a set of a village.

..

We went around but didn't find the flavour. So we decided to shoot in a real village and in real locations," he said.

"Initially, it was difficult in terms of accommodation and sanitation but everybody cooperated," he added. How different is Hum from Hum Log in terms of storytelling? "It is a fast moving story almost like a film and ends at a point where there is a natural curiosity to see what happens ahead," said Tripathy.

While thespian Ashok Kumar was the sutradhaar in Hum Log , his place will now be taken by veteran actress Sushma Seth, who also starred in Hum Log . The cast of Hum includes Sadiya Siddiqui, Mona Wasu, Vineet Kumar, Suhasini Mulay, Anjan Srivastva, Himani Shivpuri and Harsh Chhaya.

The biweekly show will be aired Friday-Saturday on Doordarshan. Tweet (less)
