<p><strong>Amitji, correct me if I am wrong. But 'Jhund' gives you a rare opportunity to play a real-life character. How different is it for you to play an actual character as compared with the fictional ones?</strong><br />
<br />
All projects are difficult, as are all characters when they are portrayed on screen. Vijay Barse was no different, particularly because he is a living character. But in such cases, you go along with the director’s take on it.</p>

<br />
<strong>The real Vijay&nbsp;Barse is an inspiring figure. Did you get time to meet him? Mr Barse, by the way, is honoured and thrilled that the greatest star-actor of Indian cinema has played him.</strong><br />
<br />
Indeed Vijay Barse is an inspiring figure, and the honour is entirely mine to have got an opportunity to portray him. His realm of ‘the greatest start-actor of Indian Cinema’ is an unrecognised epithet, which I have never believed in nor pay service to.<br />
<br />
<strong>Directors who work with you for the first time -- and there is no dearth of them -- are in awe of you.

<br />
These are embarrassing impressions for me. I was in awe of his work before he came to me for the film 'Jhund'. And they that work with me are NOT in awe of me. It’s the other way round!<br />
<br />
<strong>Speaking of Vijay, from the Vijay that you iconized in 'Zanjeer' to the Vijay in 'Jhund', you remain the screen symbol of hope for the underdog. Do you agree?</strong><br />
<br />
It has and shall ever be an enchantment when an underdog succeeds.&nbsp;This is a fact of life! It responds to all. I am certainly NOT the screen symbol of the hope that stories spell out; it is the writer and the director’s vision that brings it to the fore, not the actor. The actor merely tries to do justice to the job at hand.<br />
<br />
<strong>The slum boys (and a few girls) are absolute naturals on screen. Sir,&nbsp;what was your interaction like with them? Please share the most memorable episodes of your shooting experience with these kids?</strong><br />
<br />
They were all handpicked for the job, by Nagaraj Ji and briefed for their respective roles. All of them are naturals, that came from the atmosphere you see in the film - the slums - and each of them has had the same kind of existence so succinctly portrayed. They spoke their own language, and what they felt the situation needed. Nothing was pre-determined, and that was the beauty of their performance. They lived their lives on screen as they lived in their real distraught circumstances.<br />
<br />
<strong>Did any one of their stories particularly catch your attention?</strong><br />
<br />
Each story of theirs was an eye-opener. Nagaraj Ji tried to bring it out in one scene, and that was riveting and so very emotional. Emotion was a rarity for them, they knew very little of how to be emotional. In a scene where they were asked to have tears in their eyes, one of them came up to me and said ‘How does one cry ?’ It was the most poignant moment for me. Consider the question, Subhash, and you will find several wonder responses to it, if at all you can. Either he has been through so much misery and pain that tears do not mean anything to him, or he has spent an entire early life with tears that he does not have any left. When you see suffering and pain in the young being reflected by a smile, it is the most unbearable emotion!<br />

This is best answered by the producers and the distributors and the industry in general. When you come across a wall you cannot climb or cross, you find alternatives.<br />

Interview: Amitabh Bachchan talks about playing real-life character in 'Jhund'

<p>While eventually, it finds its way out into the light, there is plenty that 'Jhund' gets wrong. The slum-soccer theme goes from dream to scheme with scarcely a &nbsp;scream. It all happens too abruptly: one minute we see Vijay Borade(real name Barse)scrutinizing the slum boys as reformative cases. The next thing we know the boys are rallying around their soccer messiah, their distrust and disdain magically alchemized into a deep commitment.</p>

<p>Soon after they are playing that decisive match: you know, the one where the underdogs will beat the football snobs on the field while the two coaches from the two sides speak of their teams with the protective ferocity of lions guarding cubs.</p>

<p>But the pre-intermission match just goes on and on, and on. And yet barring one, &nbsp;we barely get an opportunity to get to know the slum kids closely.

<p>Curiously, a Sardarji shows up in the slum team at the match although he was never shown to be part of the pre-match football sessions. In fact, the pre-intermission match should be cut by half.

<p>The wall, that Amitabh Bachchan so passionately speaks about in his climactic monologue(no recent film of his is complete without one of those) is crucial to 'Jhund'. In one of my favourite shots of the film, as the slum footballers take off to play in Georgia, &nbsp;we see a sign on the wall saying no one is allowed to go beyond it.</p>

<p>Sadly the film builds its own wall dividing the audience from the slum kids that the film so obviously cares about. There are too many of them to create any empathy let alone a back story for each. The only underdog who makes an impression, a deep one at that, &nbsp;is Ankush Gedam. As a small-time dada who finds a goal (pun intended) he should have remained central to the drama, as he is in many ways.</p>

<p>Ankush's rapport with the reformative professor will remind you of &nbsp;Anil Kapoor and Dilip Kumar in Yash Chopra's 'Mashaal', except that Ankush’s performance is far more lived-in than &nbsp;Kapoor’s. Ankush’s penultimate sequence at the airport as he nearly misses his flight to freedom will have you holding your breath and holding back your tears.</p>

<p>Elsewhere a subplot about a rural female football player Monika(Rinku Rajguru, the heroine of director Nagraj Manjule’s classic &nbsp;'Sairath') trying to get&nbsp;a passport to play in Georgia, is moving in its own right. Rinku’s tanned skin colouring is a puzzle, though. &nbsp;Unless dark is the chosen colour of under-privilege.</p>

<p>'Jhund', true to its title, crowds the plot with too many characters including a divorced Muslim girl with three child who wants to play football. Admittedly there should have been a stricter quantity control. But the quality of integrity, the sincerity of this film’s purpose never wavers. In &nbsp;spite of its zigzagging progression and its tendency to be fidgety rather than &nbsp;focused 'Jhund' keeps you &nbsp;invested in the lives of these underdogs till the end. In short, it’s a privilege to share the lives &nbsp;of these underprivileged.</p>


While eventually, it finds its way out into the light, there is plenty that 'Jhund' gets wrong. The slum-soccer theme goes from dream to scheme with scarcely a scream.

While eventually, it finds its way out into the light, there is plenty that 'Jhund' gets wrong. The slum-soccer theme goes from dream to scheme with scarcely a scream. It all happens too abruptly: one minute we see Vijay Borade(real name Barse)scrutinizing the slum boys as reformative cases. The next thing we know the boys are rallying around their soccer messiah, their distrust and disdain magically alchemized into a deep commitment.

Watch: Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Jhund' releases its trailer

<p>In an old interview- during his prime- Bappi Lahiri was asked to dissect his style of music. Lahiri, dressed in his flashy gold chains and sunglasses had said that a song becomes a hit if the tempo is fast and upbeat. "Melody is also important, but the beats should be good should be fast." He remained true to his words throughout his career. The man who passed away on February 15 can be credited for bringing western tunes to India.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Through his songs, he played the perfect bridge between the East and the West. While he brought western tunes to India, his hit songs were also played or included in western songs, and Hollywood films.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Born as Alokesh Lahiri to Aparesh and Bansuri Lahiri in Jalpaiguri, West Bengal in November 1952, music was in his DNA since his parents were both classical singers. Having learnt music from a young age, Bappi Lahiri could play the Tabla from the age of 3.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/bappi-lahiri-lesser-known-facts-about-the-man-who-shined-as-bright-as-his-gold-chains-453709" hreflang="en">Bappi Lahiri: Lesser-known facts about the man who shined as bright as his gold chains</a></strong><br />
<br />
At 11, he was already composing tunes on his own and had mastered the art of playing multiple instruments.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
His first break in films came at the age of 21 when he composed music for a Hindi film called 'Naha Shikari' which was released in 1973. The following year he made his debut as a composer for a Bengali film called 'Daadu'(1974). By then he had already moved to Mumbai to make a career in music with the help of his maternal uncle, legendary singer Kishore Kumar.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-remembering-bappi-lahiri-and-his-love-for-gold-453645" hreflang="en">Remembering Bappi Lahiri and his love for gold</a></strong></p>

<p>Lahiri's career took a turn for the better the following year - in 1975 when the film 'Zakhmee' was released. The music by Lahiri struck a chord with one and all and almost all the songs from the film became super hits. Songs like 'Jalta Hai Jiya Mera', 'Phir Janam Lengey Hum' were instant hits. The film also had a rare duet of Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi - the two stalwarts of Indian playback.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The following year, he composed music for the film 'Chalte Chalte' and its title track is still considered one of the most iconic songs of Hindi films.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wzYGh5-2sc4" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Lahiri's songs in the 1980s in films like 'Disco Dancer', 'Dance Dance', 'Guru' and 'Pratigya' were instrumental in making actor Mithun Chakraborty a star. Mithun was a fresh face, having won a National Award for Mrinal Sen's artsy 'Mrigya'. It was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JdEZoffm-Q">'Disco Dancer'</a> and subsequent films that led to his image makeover - that of an actor who would dance well-of course all to Lahiri's catchy numbers. The '80s decade also saw a Lahiri- Amitabh Bachchan partnership in Bollywood where the musician created super hit numbers for Bachchan's films like '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVhIPVDxsPQ">Namak Halaal</a>', Sharaabi' and 'Giraftar'.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NB0QzikhCg8" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<br />
While the current generation remembers Lahiri's Disco numbers - and rightfully so- the composer also created some souldful Ghazal that became hits. Most prominent being 'Kisi Nazar Ko Tera Intezaar Aaj Bhi Hai' and 'Aawaz Di Hai' for the 1985 film 'Aitbaar'. &nbsp;Beat and tempo were integral parts of his music compositions but slow, romantic numbers like 'Pyaar Kabhi Kam Nahi Karna' were equally successful for their melodious tunes.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j8qtywZ6L70" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br />
Lahiri continued to compose music till the late 1990s but was rediscovered by the newer generation of composers as a playback singer in the 2000s. He sang hits like 'Bambai Nagaria' for Vishal Shekhar in 'Taxi No 9211' in 2006, the smash hit 'Oo La La' in 'The Dirty Picture' for Vishal Shekhar in 2011, 'Tune Maari Entriyaan' for Sohail Sen in 'Gunday' in 2013. &nbsp;Some of his popular hits like 'Tamma Tamma Loge' and 'Bankaz' were remixed to suit the palate of Gen Z and were smash hits.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<br />
Lahiri's songs appealed to the world. During his prime, he was accussed of lifting tunes from western songs but no one could deny that the way he adapted them to Indian sensibilities was worthy of praise. Portions of his hit song 'Thoda Resham Lagta Hai' was included in the song 'Addictive' by American R&amp;B singer Truth Hurts. The song was an instant hit and later Copyright holders Saregama India, Ltd. sued Interscope Records and its parent company, Universal Music Group for more than $500 million. A Los Angeles federal judge subsequently barred further sales of the CD unless and until Lahiri was listed on the song's credits which he was eventually. Songs like 'Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja' and 'Come Closer' were included in Hollywood films 'Don't Mess With The Zohan' and 'Lion'.&nbsp;<br />
He was ahead of his times, be it for his music, or for his unique fashion style- flamboyant and over the top, Lahiri's sense of fashion was widely discussed and emulated in later years. Had he been born a few decades later, he would be an icon- an influencer for Gen Z on social media.&nbsp;</p>

Lahiri will be laid to rest on Thursday after his son Bappa arrives back in Mumbai from Los Angeles. One song that will perhaps give the musician a fitting farewell is '<em>Chalte Chalte, Mere Ye Geet, Yaad Rakhna, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna'. </em>(<em>Remember my song while moving on and never say a goodbye</em>)</p>

<p>We won't ever say an <em>Alvida</em> to you or your songs, Bappi Da.&nbsp;</p>

Amitabh Bachchan sells Delhi family home for this whopping price

<p>After Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya, the third generation of actors from the Bachchan clan are beginning their ascent into stardom. Having been signed on by Zoya Akhtar to play the male lead in her indigenous adaptation of the Archie comics universe opposite Sridevi’s younger daughter Khushi Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, son of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan’s daughter Shweta and industrialist Nikhil Nanda, is being fully tutored into the art of facing the camera.</p>

<p>Luckily Agastya is a fast learner.</p>

<p>Says a &nbsp;source close to the &nbsp;Bachchan family, &nbsp;“Neither of Agastya‘s parents are&nbsp;actors. So he is leaning on his grandparents and his Maamu(Uncle) Abhishek Bachchan for guidance. &nbsp;Agastya has always been a big fan of his grandfather and of the Archie comics. So he has the advantage of being a part of the cinematic universe that he will soon occupy officially, even before facing the camera.”</p>

<p>One hears Agastya is already getting several offers from the biggest banners. But he wants to wait until Zoya’s film crystalizes before thinking of another project.</p>

<p>Zoya Akhtar's Archies adaptation is not the only film designed to carry forward Bollywood's distinguished dynastic tradition. From what one hears Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s second-born Ibrahim(eldest born Sara is already an actor) is all set for his screen debut which is likely to happen in 2022(pandemic permitting).</p>

<p>Apparently, Saif wants Ibrahim to continue with his studies. But Ibrahim is keen to get into his parents’ and sisters’ profession. This is why we now see the otherwise-shy Ibrahim at so many film parties and why he is suddenly so active on social media. One hears of Karan Johar being especially keen to launch Ibrahim’s career. But father Saif would rather have his son find his own way into the movies.</p>

<p>In an interview with me some time ago, Saif had spoken about Ibrahim, “Yes, he seems prepared. &nbsp;But I think he should wait a little longer. He’s looking good. And he’s a very gentle soul. He’s secure in his space and has a sense of humour.”</p>

<p>Ibrahim’s sister while speaking to me on her brother’s career plan had once said, “He does plan to be an actor. But as I’ve discovered, it’s an easy dream to have but a very difficult dream to achieve. But I feel Ibrahim has the talent. Once he enacted a monologue for my mother and me. I was holding the sheet of paper on which his lines were written. I &nbsp;couldn’t look at the sheet, I was busy looking at his eyes. They were so &nbsp;emotive.”</p>

<p>Chunky Pandey’s nephew Ahaan Pandey is also expected to be launched in &nbsp;2022 by family-friend Karan Johar. Chunky’s daughter Ananya has already been launched in 2019. Govinda’s son Yashvardhan Ahuja is also being groomed for stardom by producer Sajid Nadiadwala who launched Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan in 2021’s Tadap.</p>

After Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya, the third generation of actors from the Bachchan clan are beginning their ascent into stardom. Having been signed on by Zoya Akhtar to play the male lead in her indigenous adaptation of the Archie comics universe opposite Sridevi’s younger daughter Khushi Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, son of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan’s daughter Shweta and industrialist Nikhil Nanda, is being fully tutored into the art of facing the camera.

After Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya, the third generation of actors from the Bachchan clan are beginning their ascent into stardom. Having been signed on by Zoya Akhtar to play the male lead in her indigenous adaptation of the Archie comics universe opposite Sridevi’s younger daughter Khushi Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, son of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan’s daughter Shweta and industrialist Nikhil Nanda, is being fully tutored into the art of facing the camera. Luckily Agastya is a fast learner. Says a source close to the Bachchan family, “Neither of Agastya‘s parents are actors. So he is leaning on his grandparents and his Maamu(Uncle) Abhishek Bachchan for guidance. Agastya has always been a big fan of his grandfather and of the Archie comics. So he has the advantage of being a part of the cinematic universe that he will soon occupy officially, even before facing the camera.” One hears Agastya is already getting several offers from the biggest banners. But he wants to wait until Zoya’s film crystalizes before thinking of another project. Zoya Akhtar's Archies adaptation is not the only film designed to carry forward Bollywood's distinguished dynastic tradition. From what one hears Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s second-born Ibrahim(eldest born Sara is already an actor) is all set for his screen debut which is likely to happen in 2022(pandemic permitting). Apparently, Saif wants Ibrahim to continue with his studies. But Ibrahim is keen to get into his parents’ and sisters’ profession. This is why we now see the otherwise-shy Ibrahim at so many film parties and why he is suddenly so active on social media. One hears of Karan Johar being especially keen to launch Ibrahim’s career. But father Saif would rather have his son find his own way into the movies. In an interview with me some time ago, Saif had spoken about Ibrahim, “Yes, he seems prepared. But I think he should wait a little longer. He’s looking good. And he’s a very gentle soul. He’s secure in his space and has a sense of humour.” Ibrahim’s sister while speaking to me on her brother’s career plan had once said, “He does plan to be an actor. But as I’ve discovered, it’s an easy dream to have but a very difficult dream to achieve. But I feel Ibrahim has the talent. Once he enacted a monologue for my mother and me. I was holding the sheet of paper on which his lines were written. I couldn’t look at the sheet, I was busy looking at his eyes. They were so emotive.” Chunky Pandey’s nephew Ahaan Pandey is also expected to be launched in 2022 by family-friend Karan Johar. Chunky’s daughter Ananya has already been launched in 2019. Govinda’s son Yashvardhan Ahuja is also being groomed for stardom by producer Sajid Nadiadwala who launched Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan in 2021’s Tadap. Both Govinda’s daughter Tina and Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya have unsuccessfully launched as actors some years ago. Sometimes one can gag on one’s golden spoon. Interestingly, Akshay Kumar’s son Aarav has no interest in acting. He wants to be a chef. Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira and son Junaid are interested in filmmaking rather than acting. Shah Rukh’s son Aryan too wants to be a film director. The boy has made a short film. Those close to Shah Rukh who have seen it feel Aryan has potential. But for now, Shah Rukh has decided to keep his son away from the entertainment industry. Shah Rukh Khan feels star kids are too envied to be deemed enviable. And he may be right.

<p>Ayan Mukerji's labour of love 'Brahmastra' has been in the making for a very long time. The ambitious sci-fi, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead, is finally ready for the audience. The makers shared the first motion poster of the film at a grand event in New Delhi on Wednesday evening.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The motion poster gives a glimpse of the exciting ride ahead and shows Ranbir Kapoor, perhaps for the first time on screen, in a beefed-up avatar holding a VFX enhanced <em>trishul</em> (trident) in hand.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The motion poster shared on social media by producer Karan Johar opens with Ranbir's voice claiming that there is something happening on earth that is beyond the comprehension of human beings. The video then gives a glimpse of Ranbir's mystical powers and then focuses on Ranbir Kapoor standing on top of a hill with Lord Shiva's image in the background.</p>

That 'storm’ brewing within you, playing with your emotions, tearing you up, that turbulent ride that makes you ask - is this a nightmare? Or is this real?
