"We wanted to make a sequel from quite some time. But now I have a story, which I would be comfortable turning into a sequel.

I think 'Jhankaar Beats' was made 10 years back and in past 10 years I have gained some experience. I have seen enough life and now I can share it with you all," Ghosh told IANS.

"I am ready with the story. Once I am done with 'Kahaani', I will focus on the sequel of 'Jhankaar Beats'," added the director who is busy promoting Vidya Balan starrer "Kahaani", which is coming out March 9.

"Jhankaar Beats", a small budget film, boasted of a wonderful cast - Juhi Chawla , Sanjay Suri , Rahul Bose , Rinke Khanna , Riya Sen and Shayan Munshi - and their good performance complemented Ghosh's storytelling technique and made it a good watch. Ghosh plans to repeat the same cast for the sequel.

"It has to be the same star cast for the sequel. However, for the sequel I want to stick to more of life and less music.

You can't escape life," he said. In the original, the focus was on music as it was a tribute to legendary composer Rahul Dev Burman (less)

So I won't be available for any other movies during that period of August, September and October," said Bose on the sidelines of a programme here. Bose is also excited about his next Bengali film with national award-wining director Suman Mukhopadhyay.

The film is based on Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore's Shesher Kabita . "I will start my shooting for my next venture Shesher Kabita with Konkona Sen Sharma.

The film will be directed by Suman Mukhopadhyay," said the 44-year-old, who is one of the most popular faces of Bengali cinema. He has acted in award-winning Bengali movies like Antaheen, Kaalpurush and Anuranan .

Co-starring Parveen Babi, this film failed to leave a mark on anybody's heart. But it did have the charm and the style that was quintessentially Dev.

Captured by ace lensman Shyam Aurangabadkar, the picture taken on the sets of the film reminds one of what we call the Dev Anand magic. In the picture, Dev Anand is seen holding a pair of aviator shades.

The sunglasses, created originally for pilots to protect their eyes in 1936 achieved a cult status and were made popular by the most fashionable Bollywood hero of the 70s. Interestingly, the film brought together Parveen Babi and Kabir Bedi .

Now, Parveen had almost given up her Bollywood career once for Kabir, her boyfriend by following him across the seas, when he got a role in an Italian television series, Sandokan. This film also marked the debut of Jyothi Bakshi Gill - an actress, who at the time was hailed as one of the most glamourous women in Hindi cinema.

Unfortunately, the glamour fizzled out in her later years. Reportedly, her semi-decomposed body was found at her residence years later.

Some even believe, that shunned by the film industry, the actress did not have enough money to support herself. A similar fate, minus the monetary issues awaited the film's female lead Parveen as well.

She, who was once pitted against Zeenat Aman , was found dead in her Juhu flat (less)

The actor bumped into Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia, who were present at the hotel for an event, and bonded with the couple. He asked Riteish to speak to a friend in Marathi over the phone.

He said, "His Maharana of Mewar Foundation's chosen me for their annual award for National Integration." Incidentally, the past awardees of the Maharana of Mewar Foundation award for National Integration include names as the Dalai Lama , Shashi Tharoor , Shabana Azmi , Javed Akhtar.

Rahul added, "Other awardees of the (MMFC) award for National Integration have been Teesta Setalvad , Sunil Dutt . Privileged to be in this company.

" The actor is also thankful to Suchismita Bose and Divya Mansukhani for being the "best directors an NGO dedicated to the removal of discrimination can hope for". He continues, "Directors Suchismita Bose and Divya Mansukhani will accompany me to Udaipur for the 26feb ceremony.

It's theirs. It's ours.

Night Shyamalan's movie The Last Airbender horrendous and admits he prefers working as part of an ensemble in smaller movies, reports contactmusic.com.

"Working on something that big and trying to get heard as an actor is tricky. You feel so diluted and worthless," he told Empire magazine.

"I would happily shape my career doing great low-budget indies like that. I'm not that hero-type dude, so I'm never going to be playing the handsome lead character," he added.

So he took to his microblogging page to vent. "Total lack of initiative at Jet Airways , Delhi.

Arrived on Jet from Srinagar with 15minutes to board the Delhi-Mumbai jet. Was told not possible - too little time," he wrote.

Rahul, though, found that strange, adding later that he has seen passengers boarding flights with just a minute to spare before take off. "Passengers connecting on Jet, with bags checked through and holding a boarding pass for the next leg, have boarded till the last minute.

Ask me," he tweeted. But what really seemed to irk him was the airline's insensitivity towards passengers.

"Airlines really don't care about sensitivity towards passengers. We're fools-we know this, yet we hope," he wrote (less)

"I like being able to ask Dev, 'What do you think of this?' He's very honest. He's not, 'You were wonderful darling.

' He'll be like, 'Hmmm. The film's not really about you but be happy that you made it," Pinto said.

The actress also wishes directors would see past her beauty and offer her more challenging movie roles. "I wish people would think outside the box when it comes to casting me.

There's this ultimate satisfaction an actor gets from the effort invested in a part where the transformation takes you as far from yourself as it's possible to go. I hope that sort of work comes my way because I feel I can do it," she added.
