SAMEERA REDDY IN A NEW MOVIE "TEZZ"

While insiders are claiming that TEZZ is turning hotter as it approaches its release time period, one can well trust this statement to be indeed true. Reason being that Ajay Devgn would be seen in a stylish-n-cool avatar for this action flick which is said to be a remake of Japanese film THE BULLET TRAIN. Also with others like Zayed Khan and Sameera Reddy indulging in some dare devil action sequences as well there is some young blood which is adding on to the excitement.

No wonder, for Sameera it's case of a new world being explored since she could turn into a biker girl here, something that she was longing for ever since she turned an actress.

"My entire bike riding experience was simply crazy. I trained for 4-5 months on the bike and in fact Ratanji was worried that I may just injure myself since for first two weeks I was just falling off every now and then," laughs Sameera, "However after some more training, I took to bike riding like I was born to do it. This movie has taught me a lot of things that I had never done before; like for example holding my breath under water."

Sharing her experience around this adventure of hers, Sameera says, "There was this sequence where I was supposed to be trapped in this water rapid. It was so cold and I was specifically told that I had to hold a particular rock so that I am not swayed by water. However I was in my own masti and by mistake started floating away from the camera. It was really crazy but then let me admit that TEZZ has been one of the most physically challenging roles that I have ever done."

Also starring Kangna Ranaut, Boman Irani and Mohanlal, TEZZ releases all over on 26th January next year.

ZAYED KHAN IN A SPORTS BASED FILM

Zayed Khan may have dropped plans to make his much talked about "Welcome to the Jungle" with Hrithik Roshan. However he would now be making an altogether different film which has a contemporary setting to it and, in his own words, is a 'coming of age' story. The film would have sports as its theme and would go on floors later this year.

"This film would be a whole new ballgame for us. No pun intended", chuckles Zayed who is currently making another film for his production house - "Love, Break Ups, Zindagi", "It would be a sports based film and something which would be totally new. It is wonderful to interact with my dad on this film because despite the generation gap, he is so clued into today's times. He knows what we are talking about and in fact gives suggestions to make the film even more progressive."

The film would also mark the return of Sanjay Khan as a producer after a quarter of a century. His last production was "Kala Dhandha Gorey Log" which had released way back in 1986. Faruk Kabir (of "Allah Ke Banday" fame) would be at the helm of direction.

"Faruk being from the same age group as mine is pretty refreshing actually since his thinking his so out of the box," gushes Zayed, "I like his vision around presenting stories differently. Look at "Allah Ke Banday"; he refrained from treating it as just another gangster film since that genre has been done to death. Faruk is someone fresh, new and hungry for his work to be seen. He has got it in him to do the job right."

While Zayed is not willing to reveal the title of the film yet, he does mention that a formal announcement would be made soon that would reveal the rest of the cast including the leading ladies. "Rest assured, this is one sports based story that you have never heard before", he says.
