EXCLUSIVE: Milap Zaveri REVEALS that Warner Bros was UNJUST to his debut directorial, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai: "I was most heartbroken that Warner NEVER released Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai on VCD or DVD.; Warner wasn’t very gung-ho on marketing it well"

Image
Milap Zaveri, who completed 20 years this year in the industry, started his career as a writer. In 2010, his directorial debut,  Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai  (2010), starring Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez, was released. The film bombed and in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama , Milap Zaveri explains why he feels that Warner Bros, which backed Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai , meted out unfair treatment to his first directorial venture. Milap Zaveri told  Bollywood Hungama , “A lot of people over the years have told me that  Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai  is a very sweet and cute film. But in those days, Riteish was a very big comic star.  Apna Sapna Money Money  (2006),  Masti ,  Kya Kool Hain Hum  (2005),  Heyy Babyy  (2007) etc were hits. So, I feel the experiment to do a sweet romcom with him didn’t really get viewers excited.” He added, “Secondly, Warner Bros’ was the producer and  Chandni Chowk   To China  (2009) had not done well for them. So, Warner wasn’t very gung-ho

Sharad Kelkar : “A big loss for us. We’ve lost one of our greatest actors. He was the superstar of Marathi cinema. He was, and will remain an inspiration for all of us actor who came after him. He was like an acting school and watching him was like attending classes.” Sameer Sanjay Vidwans (director of the Marathi hits Double Seat  and Anandi Gopal ): “The work that Vikram Gokhale has done is exemplary. We’ve seen him in some Hindi films. But it’s Marathi cinema and theatre where his contribution is unmatched. He was a university of acting. Any aspiring actor can look at his performances for guidance. I shared a close relationship with him. The first Marathi screenplay that I ever wrote  Aaghat was directed by Vikram Kaka. What to say? In my opinion, the Hindi film industry could not avail of his acting skills as much as the Marathi film industry. In Hindi, we remember him in  Agneepath  and Hum…Dil De Chuke Sanam,  that’s it. The magic of his performances was not tapped sufficie

EXCLUSIVE: “Age is just a number,” says Giorgia Andriani on the age gap between her and Arbaaz Khan

Image
Giorgia Andriani and Arbaaz Khan are a happy couple. But, in the age of social media, they often get targeted for the over 20-year age gap between them. When Bollywood Hungama asked Giorgia her reaction on this matter in an exclusive conversation, she gave a sorted answer. “I've never felt like he’s so much… like, I am so much younger than him,” she said. “Age is never something that I really take seriously because I look at somebody’s energy. Like I don't look at their age.” She elaborated, “If for me, if the person is like 100 years old, I will still talk to them if they are like fun, I would still talk to them. Or if the person is younger than me for that matter. It’s not that I'm like, no, you’re younger than me, so I won’t talk to you. Age for me is really just a number.” Georgia is currently trying to make a major impact in Bollywood. Arbaaz, on the other hand, was last seen in the recently-released web-series on Sony LIV titled Tanaav. Also Read: Giorgia Andri
