Actor Darsheel Safary returns to the big screen with Bumm Bumm Bole

After getting kudos from critics and audiences for his portrayal of a dyslexic child in Aamir Khan`s `Taare Zameen Par`, child actor Darsheel Safary returns to the big screen with `Bumm Bumm Bole`, which releases Friday.

A remake of Majid Majidi`s Iranian film `Children of Heaven`, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, "Bumm Bumm Bole" has been re-modelled as per Indian standards.

Produced by Percept Picture Company and directed by Priyadarshan, it also stars Atul Kulkarni, Rituparna Sengupta and newcomer Ziyah Vastani.

"The pivotal essence of `Bumm Bumm Bole` is a unique brother-sister relationship. It depicts an innocent and poignant story of two siblings and the dilemmas they face in life and how they fight their way to overcome it," Priyadarshan said.

The story revolves around Khogiram (Atul), his wife (Rituparna) and their children Pinu (Darsheel) and Rimzim (Zia) who live in a terror-affected region. The couple work on a tea plantation and it`s a hand-to-mouth existence for them.

With their meagre income, they can barely manage to arrange for their basic needs, but Khogiram sends his children to a respectable school because it is his ambition to educate them. But their financial crunch makes it difficult for them to match the standards of the school.

A time comes when they don`t have enough money to buy school uniform and shoes and things become worse when Pinu misplaces Rimzim`s only pair of shoes in a vegetable shop.

Rimzim can`t go to school without her shoes and the brother-sister work out a scheme where both of them can share the same shoes. Pinu, however, always gets into trouble at school while waiting for Rimzim to give him the shoes.

Then Pinu comes to know about an inter-school marathon where one of the prizes is a pair of shoes and he plans to participate in it and win the shoes for his kid sister.

Though the protagonists are children, Priyadarshan insists "Bumm Bumm Bole" is not a children`s film.

"It`s not a children`s film. It has got terrorism and politics as a backdrop. The problems of a family are also shown. So you can`t say it is a children`s film. But it`s a film that children will enjoy a lot as it`s a clean family entertainer," he said.

The title "Bumm Bumm Bole" is based on one of the songs from Darsheel`s debut movie "Taare Zameen Par".

After striking an emotional chord with his first film, it won`t be a surprise if the 13-year-old wins more hearts with this one too.

Shahid Kapoor’s much-anticipated Mausam look has been finalised

After experimenting with a series of appearances for his father’s directorial venture Mausam, Shahid Kapoor’s look for the much-anticipated film has been finalised. And believe it or not, the dishy actor will be seen sporting four different looks in the film.

Wonder why? As the buzz suggests, Shahid’s appearances in the film will change as per the four seasons of the year. Each look will represent a season; hence the actor will have four major makeovers.

Confirming the news a source said, “Mausam, as the title suggests, is a romance spread over the four seasons - summer, winter, spring and autumn. Pankaj has finalised Shahid’s four looks. The bearded look, which Shahid currently sports, is actually the last, winter look for the film.”

And that’s not all; Shahid’s co-star Sonam Kapoor too will have different looks for the film. However, the stunning lass is yet to go through the looks test.

As per the sources, the actor’s looks in ‘Mausam’ have been decided by his father. The exact look for each of the four seasons has been kept under wraps.

“Shahid’s character’s physical appearance will go from the abundant joy of spring to the melancholy heartbreak of winter, all in the course of his love for Sonam,” adds the source.

“All I can say is, it is the most intensely romantic film I’ve ever done, or am likely to do,” said Shahid.

Can you imagine the lovely Katrina Kaif as a NASA scientist

Can you imagine the lovely Katrina Kaif as a NASA scientist? Well, the recent ‘Queen of Bollywood’ dreamt of going to NASA at one point of time in her life. Talking about her weird dreams, the actress revealed to a news daily, "I always used to make a world in my head and live in that. I always wanted to be something unusual. Some of the dreams I remember, they may sound stupid - I wanted to be a firefighter, I wanted to be a stunt woman, I wanted to go to NASA. Acting was something to fancy."

The gorgeous Katrina Kaif turned philosophical while reminiscing on her successful career. Talking about destiny and success, the actress said, “"It`s (success) destiny, no one can plan it. There are many people who are connected with the industry because of their father, mother or other family members; still they are not able to achieve what is termed as success in the industry.”

“You can come here, make two or three films, your co-stars could be your friends - all this you can plan but you can`t plan which film would be successful. The miracle that happened with my life has been the success of my films. Because, had those films not been successful, no one would have done anything for me," Katrina added.

Katrina became a household name after Salman re-launched her in the 2005 romantic comedy ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’. After that she gave a string of hits, including ‘Namastey London’, ‘Partner’, ‘Welcome’, ‘Singh Is Kinng’ and critically acclaimed ‘New York’.

Talking about Salman, Kats said, “Salman had been always there, more than anything to guide because I didn`t know anything about the industry. What would remain special in my mind is that from the very beginning Salman told me that I will achieve this success in the industry. And at that point it was too far off."

She is now eager to take more responsibilities and do more diverse roles like the one she is doing in Prakash Jha`s "Raajneeti`, where she plays a politician.

"Till now I have done a genre of films. People have accepted me, loved me and have given me so much support. I never imagined getting so much. But I feel that there are other types of films to do. See other contemporary actors, they have done much more diverse roles.”

"People can say that the success ratio of my films has been very, very good, but I still feel people should see me on other kinds of films too...”

"May be something like a remake of `Sita Aur Gita`...In `Raajneeti`, I have more responsibility. But you will have to remember that there I am with six very important guys, all have very important roles," said Katrina.
