Well, it seems that a new pair of love birds are creating buzz in the tinsel town and the two happen to be ‘Bheja Fry 2’ starlet Minissha Lama and the producer of the same, Mukul Deora. Mukul happens to be the politician Murli Deora’s musician son.
In fact, when Minissha had some differences with the director of the film, Sagar Bellary, it was Mukul who came to her rescue. Both were spotted spending time with each other at the Bheja Fry 2 success party. Mukul had also taken in Miss Lamba in his next project, Hum Tum Shabana. Well, even if the flicks could not do well at the box office, it did do something good to their personal lives!!
Bollywood actress Minissha Lamba recently visited Kolkata to promote the new entertainment channel from UTV group called UTV STARS. Our correspondent caught up with her after the event for an informal chat.
How do you feel about UTV stars?
I think it's going to be great. I think we are going to come a lot closer to the people. Our lives are not really that extraordinary so half the things we tell to the press are made up. I think people are going to know about our really boring lives. I believe they will get to know us better.
Do you think there will be privacy issues?
Well our media still has a lot of respect for privacy and there is a great ethic code still present. Compared to the west we have a lot more privacy. So I don't think there'll be any such problem.
Recently you are part of BHEJA FRY 2 and the film didn't do so well in the box office. Why do you think that it was so?
Why do you say that? The film made money and the producer is malamal right now. He's yet to take me out to dinner as a treat.
Still what was the problem with the movie? It didn't attract a cult following like BHEJA FRY.
I guess we are used to a lot of cult movies right now and when BHEJA FRY came out it was a comedy and everybody was amazed by how it was shot in one room. Today for a film to become a cult film you need for it to be more than a comedy. It has to be a film that addresses society. It has to be a film that dealt about very serious things but the way that its shot has to be a cult film. It is very difficult for comedies to become cult films.
Tell us about your upcoming films.
There is a film coming called HUM TUM SHABANA. It's also comedy directed by Mr. Sagar Ballary. There is another film called JOKER and then there is ZILLA GHAZIABAD. HUM TUM SHABANA will release in September and the other two will release next year.
Tell us about your experience at Cannes film Festival. How was it?
It was beautiful and I think in the West they have really got the red carpet thing packed and they know how to do it beautifully out there. So to experience the original place of Cannes, which is the largest festival in the world, was great. But I would like to add that we in India also do the red carpet premieres very well. The only difference is that our journalists don't wear tuxedos behind the line which is the uniform there.
