Here's why Sonu Nigam's songs from 'Ishq Forever' were re-recorded

It seems the music company that banned Sonu Nigam last year still holds a grudge against him.

Two songs that Sonu Nigam had rendered in the upcoming Lisa Ray and Jaaved Jaaferi-starrer 'Ishq Forever' have had to be re-recorded. Reason? The singer is facing the consequences of his apparent spat with entertainment head honcho, Subhash Chandra Goel, last year.

Sources suggest the film's makers had roped in Sonu for the songs, unaware that the music rights lies with Goel's company, which has allegedly banned him. The two sparred at a bash hosted by politico Amar Singh last April - Goel apparently told the singer that his channel had created him and he must acknowledge the fact. Sonu then said he has never shied away from accepting that, but maybe, Goel had not heard him say so. Sources say the retort upset the media mogul.

Later that month, Sonu claimed that Goel's company had banned him for tweeting in support of Aam Aadmi Party leader and 'poet friend' Kumar Vishwas, who was embroiled in a controversy for alleged insensitivity over a farmer's suicide at a rally. He suggested that a news channel owned by Goel may have wrongly portrayed Vishwas. Says a source, "The makers of 'Ishq Forever' got other singers on board as soon as they realised that Sonu's numbers would not be included in the film." Nadeem (of Nadeem-Shravan) has scored the music for the film.

Sonu stuck to a "no comments" stance while Shabbir Boxwala, producer of the film, confirms the story and says, "Yes, we have re-done two of our songs with Javed Ali and another singer. When we recorded the songs with Sonu, we were unaware of the ban."

Abhishek Kapoor: Not expecting any trouble from censors on 'Fitoor'

Director Abhishek Kapoor says he doesn't expect any trouble from the censor board over the kissing scene in his upcoming film 'Fitoor'.

The pictures of lead pair Katrina Kaif and Aditya Kapoor locking lips on a bridge for a scene in "Fitoor", recently went viral.

When asked if the director expected censor troubles on the scene, Katrina interrupted saying, "Who said that? There is nothing like that."

While Abhishek said, "I am not expecting any kind of trouble. I have not done anything wrong. I am not going to anticipate something that I don't perceive should exist. Keep the negativity away."

Meanwhile, there were reports that Ajay Devgn would be doing a cameo in the film.

To which Abhishek said, "I don't want to comment." Asked to comment on a dialogue "Kashmir maangoge toh chir denge" mouthed by Aditya in the film, Abhishek just offered, "Don't want to talk about the dialogue more now."



When asked if the character of Tabu has any association with Pakistan, the director said, "Not really Pakistan. It is not a anti-Pakistan film. There are moments in the film when the character behaves in a certain way."

Starring Katrina, Aditya and Tabu, the film will release on February 12.

Farhan has high hopes from Shyam Benegal

Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar is hopeful that the new Shyam Benegal-headed committee will bring positive changes in the controversy-ridden censor board.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has been at the centre of flak for some time now, owing to its decision from cutting scenes in films like "NH 10" and "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" to shortening a kiss in "Spectre".

The 41-year-old "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" star feels a rating system should be adopted while certifying a film.

"Everything is work in progress. A new committee has been set up, headed by Mr Shyam Benegal. I would hope some result will come of it that benefits artists.

"In my personal opinion, there needs to be a rating system. We are stuck with the U, U/A and A system, which do not allow that much sensibility. You can't tell a person above a certain age that you are immature to watch a kiss. We don't need to be babysit," Farhan said in an interview here.

There were reports that an intimate scene between Farhan and actress Aditi Rao Hyadri in their upcoming film "Wazir" was chopped off by the board.

The "Rock On!" star denied the rumours but expressed his disappointment with the "inconsistency" in the CBFC's working.



"There has not been consistency in the way the censor board has behaved in the past that can tell you what will be removed. Every single time the people in the committee that come to watch your film, they are not the same people.

"Different members come, hence they have different sensibilities and aesthetics. You can't have a written rule and this is with every art form because context is everything.

Snipping has to be done away," he said.

Song writing, a big no for Vidhu

Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who has turned lyricist for the first time for a song in "Wazir", says he never thought what he'd write would become "final".

He has penned the words for "Tere Bin", a low tempo romantic track sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal, with music by Shantanu Moitra.

"I never thought the lyrics will be the final lyrics. If you notice, it's very interesting in the 'antara'... it's the same... the way that I turned it... Because I thought later something would be made (of it)," Chopra, who has co-produced "Wazir" with Rajkumar Hirani, said here.

The 63-year-old filmmaker, who has helmed movies like "Broken Horses","Mission Kashmir" and "1942: A Love Story", added that he never had thought of writing a song.

"I didn't think that I'll write a song...Shantanu (Moitra) was there, and he was composing, so I just started filling in the words. We thought it will get written afterwards. But everyone loved it and nobody wanted to re-write it," Chopra said.



The song is picturised on the lead pair actors Farhan Akhtar and Aditi Rao Hydari.

As for his plans post "Wazir", Chopra said: "I never plan. I want to do a 'Munna Bhai', clearly we are writing 'Munna Bhai'... (But) There is a film called 'Marco' that I have finished writing. My sister would be directing that."

Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, "Wazir", which is also stars actors Neil Notin Mukesh and John Abraham in pivotal roles, is releasing on Friday.

Amitabh Bachchan: 'Wazir' not a physically limiting role

He may be playing a wheelchair bound character in his upcoming film 'Wazir', but megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he never felt that his role was physically limiting in the movie as he was too excited to tackle it in the first place.

The Bejoy Nambiar-directed thriller is about the unusual friendship between a paralysed chess grandmaster named Pandit Omkarnath Dhar, played by the 73-year-old actor and Farhan Akhtar's Danish, who is an ATS officer.

Bachchan depended on Nambiar and says his approach to the role in the movie was assisted by the director.

"I do not think it was limiting... It was exciting to be doing a role that I had not done before... The approach to the character was dictated by the director," Bachchan told PTI in an email interview.

The actor feels "Wazir" has the potential to be a great thriller, thanks to its unique storyline, which will keep the audience hooked to their seats.

"Its story is unique and the way it has been presented is also intense and intriguing. It is a thriller with drama and emotion."

"Wazir", which will hit theatres this Friday, has been produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who had initially planned to make the film in Hollywood.

Bachchan, who made his Hollywood debut in 2013 with a special appearance in Baz Luhrmann's 'The Great Gatsby', said he would love to do the Hollywood version of 'Wazir' if approached.

Besides being busy with the promotions of 'Wazir', the actor is also shooting Sujoy Ghosh-produced 'Te3n' in Kolkata, which is again a thriller.

But Bachchan attributed the back-to-back thrillers as a mere co-incidence and not a conscious choice.



"I have not found a liking for thrillers .. Thrillers have found a liking for me," he joked.

In a career spanning more than four decades, Bachchan has done myriad roles- be it playing the angry young man in the '70s in films, the action star or the powerful supporting characters later in the 2000s.

In the past decade, the actor has donned challenging characters in films like 'Black', 'Sarkar', 'Cheeni Kum', 'Paa' and 'Piku'.

"Each generation and period in the profession of filmmaking shall go through changes and I am just happy that I have had the good fortune to be involved in the process for so many years," he said.

Bachchan, except for the five year gap due to his ill-health, has never taken a break from work. When asked how important is continuity in an actor's life, he said, "With each working day is a lesson in learning .. I wish to learn each day."

Living with people I don't like: Suyyash's 'Bigg Boss' learning

Actor Suyyash Rai says that his experience in the "Bigg Boss Nau" house taught him how to live with people he doesn't like.

His journey on the show ended on Sunday, after 83 days of stay.

Suyyash, who started his journey in television in 2009, said he is a short-tempered person, but the reality TV show taught him tolerance and the value of people.

"I am short tempered, but I have learnt to be a little calm; learnt to live with people I do not like. In life, if one doesn't like a certain person, we have the option of walking out, but in the show, one had to see that person everyday all the time. You have to talk to the person as well," Suyyash told IANS while sharing his experience.

"I have also learnt to do daily chores of a house... Things that I never did, I did all that. Learnt how to wash clothes, learnt to value so many people and things we tend to take for granted, like parents, sister and the food cooked at home. I missed that the most," he added.

Talking about the effect of the show and its various tasks on his real life relationship with girlfriend Kishwer Merchant, Suyyash shared that "Bigg Boss Nau" took nothing away from him. Kishwer is still a contestant on the show.

"My relationship with Kishwer has strengthened. 'Bigg Boss' has given me (more), not taken anything from me," he said, adding that the show's host Salman Khan's taunts on Kishwer being the dominating one didn't pinch him at all.

He said it is natural that "if you love someone, you listen to that person and sometimes you just cannot say no. So, such things do not matter".

A former "Splitsvilla" contestant, Suyyash, who has earlier featured in shows like "Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani" and "Phir Bhi Na Maane...Badtameez Dil", said he entered "Bigg Boss Nau" without a strategy. And he's glad because the show's "creative team and Bigg Boss make sure that it does not work".

Alongwith Suyyash, Moroccan model Nora Fatehi was also evicted from the show on Saturday.

Other contestants still locked inside the house include Prince Narula, Mandana Karimi, Rochelle Rao, Priya Malik and Keith Sequeira.

"Bigg Boss Nau", which airs on Colors, features celebrity contestants locked inside an isoltaed house under 24*7 camera surveillance.

Amitabh Bachchan: There's no barometer of success

He may have achieved immense stardom, but megastar Amitabh Bachchan says for him there is no barometer of success and he doesn't believe in it.

When asked what is the barometer of success for him, Bachchan said, "There is no barometer of success... I don't believe in it. I believe in doing good work."

Recently actor Ranveer Singh had revealed that he got a letter from Bachchan applauding his performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Bajirao Mastani" which is like a barometer of success for him.

Whenever Bachchan sees a heart-warming good performance on screen, he sends a letter of appreciation to respective actors.

In the past, he has sent letters to Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and others.

"I like their work and I appreciate. They all are exceptional artists. All this new generation of actors are really good. I cannot resist myself and tell them how good they are...I enjoy watching them. I have admired lot of artists," he said.

"This whole thing of writing a letter, sending messages for a great performance these days... Happens a lot. I am happy they express themselves the way they do," he said.

In his times, celebrities used to either meet and appreciate someone's performance or send a bouquet of flowers.

"There were people who used to meet and appreciate your work. There were times when we used to exchange flowers but I feel and like to write letters. I have always been a great admirer of Dilip Kumar Sahab, I have received a letter from him that I have treasured," he said.

"I feel nostalgic. It's been 45 years in the industry, you are bound to think about so many things," he said.

For the 73-year-old actor, every role that he does today is demanding.



"Every role that comes to us is demanding. It is not correct to say which role is less demanding atleast for me as an actor. We put in effort in equal amount to portray a character on every film," he said. Bachchan is happy that he is getting a variety of roles to play on screen even today at this age. "At my age these are the kind of different characters that you get to play unlike in my earlier years when we were leading actors. At the best you fought the villain, get the girl, that was our life in every film," he said.

"But today we get shades of characters...a man on wheelchair, 13-year-old child, mad guy character in 'Shamitabh'. You get to play wonderful roles that are character-oriented and not leading man. This is how it should be like," he added.

Bachchan will be seen next in "Wazir" alongside Farhan Akhtar, Aditi Rao Hydari and others.

Prefer cartoon to remake of 'Andaaz Apna Apna': Raveena

Actress Raveena Tandon says she would prefer if classic comedy "Andaaz Apna Apna" is made into a cartoon film rather than a remake.

"I think I would be happy if 'Andaaz Apna Apna' could be made as a cartoon film rather than a Bollywood remake or sequel. I believe once a film is considered a classic, it is not a great idea to remake a film," she said at the media interaction on Mighty Mom Awards and press screening of Chota Bheem Himalayan adventure.

"The chemistry between Aamir and Salman or Lolo (Karisma Kapoor) and me was a different magic altogether. It was a great experience," the 41-year-old actress said.

Raveena, who was part of many commercial successes like "Dilwale", "Mohra", "Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi" and "Ziddi" during the 1990s, said she would like to work with new actors but everything depends on the character.

She said she has worked with newcomer Amit Bashisht in "Shabd", which is directed by Onir.

Asked which of her films she likes to watch over and over again, she said "Mohra" and "Andaaz Apna Apna".

Tandon made a comeback in Bollywood in Anurag Kashayp's "Bombay Velvet", playing a sultry jazz singer.
