Amitabh and Emraan starrer mystery thriller to commence shooting

<p lang="en"><font size="2">Director of 'Luka Chuppi', Laxman Utekar, has worked as director of photography in several big films and says he has learnt a lot in his journey - learning decency from Shah Rukh Khan to admiring megastar Amitabh Bachchan's maturity. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">Laxman has been behind the camera for films like '102 Not Out' , 'Dear Zindagi', 'English Vinglish' and 'Hindi Medium' among others. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">"I've learnt from all the people I've worked with. There is so much to learn from them. When you work with Shah Rukh Khan, you learn decency. He is a thorough gentleman. He knows how to talk to people, how to handle them," Laxman told PTI. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">"Bachchan sahab's maturity and experience reflects when you work with him. I feel lucky that I've got to work with such talented people," he added. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">Laxman has previously helmed Marathi films like 'Tapaal' and 'Lalbaugchi Rani'. 'Luka Chuppi' marks his Hindi directorial debut, along with his writer collaborator Rohan Shankar.</font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">The film, produced by Dinesh Vijan, features Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">The filmmaker said he was extremely impressed with his film's leads and realised they are more than just glamorous faces. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">"I hadn't seen much of their films but when we started our reading session, I got to know their sensibilities because the kind of questions they used to ask, the way they used to discuss nuances, it made me happy."</font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">"I realised that Kartik and Kriti are not just glamorous stars. They are also very talented and intelligent performers. There are very few like them. In our industry, you'll find people who are good looking but may not be that good as performers and vice versa."</font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">The romcom, set in Mathura, chronicles the story of a couple in a live-in relationship and how family dynamics come into play. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">Recently, filmmakers in Bollywood have trained their lens towards the hinterland and Laxman says the trend is in vogue because for a long time the audience was used to seeing romances set in abroad where the most of India that was shown was only Punjab. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">"Across the world, the audience changes its choice after every three years. Right now our audience wants to see Indian culture and colour, which was absent from the big screen until Aanand L Rai's 'Raanjhanaa'," she said. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">"Every after 100km we have a different dialect and culture. People want to see all that today. They are loving it. This trend will go on for three years more, and then the trend might change again," he added. </font></p>

<p lang="en"><font size="2">'Luka Chuppi' is scheduled to release Friday.</font></p>

Director of 'Luka Chuppi', Laxman Utekar, has worked as director of photography in several big films and says he has learnt a lot in his journey - learning decency from Shah Rukh Khan to admiring megastar Amitabh Bachchan's maturity. Laxman has been behind the camera for films like '102 Not Out' , 'Dear Zindagi', 'English Vinglish' and 'Hindi Medium' among others. "I've learnt from all the people I've worked with. There is so much to learn from them. When you work with Shah Rukh Khan, you learn decency. He is a thorough gentleman. He knows how to talk to people, how to handle them," Laxman told PTI. "Bachchan sahab's maturity and experience reflects when you work with him. I feel lucky that I've got to work with such talented people," he added. Laxman has previously helmed Marathi films like 'Tapaal' and 'Lalbaugchi Rani'. 'Luka Chuppi' marks his Hindi directorial debut, along with his writer collaborator Rohan Shankar. The film, produced by Dinesh Vijan, features Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon. The filmmaker said he was extremely impressed with his film's leads and realised they are more than just glamorous faces. "I hadn't seen much of their films but when we started our reading session, I got to know their sensibilities because the kind of questions they used to ask, the way they used to discuss nuances, it made me happy." "I realised that Kartik and Kriti are not just glamorous stars. They are also very talented and intelligent performers. There are very few like them. In our industry, you'll find people who are good looking but may not be that good as performers and vice versa." The romcom, set in Mathura, chronicles the story of a couple in a live-in relationship and how family dynamics come into play. Recently, filmmakers in Bollywood have trained their lens towards the hinterland and Laxman says the trend is in vogue because for a long time the audience was used to seeing romances set in abroad where the most of India that was shown was only Punjab. "Across the world, the audience changes its choice after every three years. Right now our audience wants to see Indian culture and colour, which was absent from the big screen until Aanand L Rai's 'Raanjhanaa'," she said. "Every after 100km we have a different dialect and culture. People want to see all that today. They are loving it. This trend will go on for three years more, and then the trend might change again," he added. 'Luka Chuppi' is scheduled to release Friday.

Hold still, Aishwarya Rai Bacchan shares her first outfit for Cannes 2017

<p>Can you imagine Kaun Banega Crorepati without Amitabh Bachchan? We are sure you are thinking of the time when Shah Rukh Khan hosted it. Just for a while keep that aside and think! Now can you imagine anyone else asking you questions in that baritone? No right? But it seems the makers of the show have already contemplated that possibility and they have replacements in sight too. According to Mumbai Mirror, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit are in contention for the seat! (Also read: Is the big fuss over Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being at Cannes justified?)</p>

<p>Yes, you read absolutely right. A source from the channel told the daily, &ldquo;Mr. Bachchan&rsquo;s daughter-in-law Aishwarya is among those who has been approached to take over as quiz master for season nine. The channel is in talks with both Madhuri and Aishwarya.&rdquo; Apparently, given the fact that no female celebrity has ever hosted the show might have prompted the channel to think on the same lines to add novelty to the format. We agree it&rsquo;s a very interesting idea to have an actress-host the show which has never happened before. We hardly see actresses hosting shows on TV and thus it could be a welcoming change.</p>

<p>But we don&rsquo;t know how effectual it will be. We are used to hearing Bachchan&rsquo;s booming voice asking everyone to play fastest fingers first so that the luck one can take the hot seat and win money. It has almost become usual for us and now to adjust to a new celebrity, that too a woman would take some time. But it definitely is an idea worth giving a shot. Maybe then channels will realise even a woman can host game shows of such nature.</p>

<p>As of now, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is busy with her Cannes activities. We will keep you updated on that as well.</p>

According to Mumbai Mirror, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit are in contention for the seat! (Also read: Is the big fuss over Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being at Cannes justified?) Yes, you read absolutely right. A source from the channel told the daily, “Mr. Bachchan’s daughter-in-law Aishwarya is among those who has been approached to take over as quiz master for season nine. The channel is in talks with both Madhuri and Aishwarya.” Apparently, given the fact that no female celebrity has ever hosted the show might have prompted the channel to think on the same lines to add novelty to the format. We agree it’s a very interesting idea to have an actress-host the show which has never happened before. We hardly see actresses hosting shows on TV and thus it could be a welcoming change. But we don’t know how effectual it will be. We are used to hearing Bachchan’s booming voice asking everyone to play fastest fingers first so that the luck one can take the hot seat and win money. It has almost become usual for us and now to adjust to a new celebrity, that too a woman would take some time. But it definitely is an idea worth giving a shot. Maybe then channels will realise even a woman can host game shows of such nature. As of now, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is busy with her Cannes activities. We will keep you updated on that as well.
