Team 'Emergency' wishes Mahima Chaudhry on her birthday

13 Sep 2022

Mahima Chaudhry turned a year older today, team 'Emergency'- Kangana Ranaut and Anupam Kher - extended their wishes on social media.Actor-director Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram and dropped a picture of Mahima along with a caption.She wrote, "Happy birthday to this gorgeous girl @mahimachahudhry1...I wish lots of love and magic for you."Veteran actor Anupam Kher also "Happy Birthday Dearest," with a cute picture of them.Mahima is best known for her roles in films 'Pardes', 'Daag', 'Dhadkan', 'Dil Hai Tumhaara' and 'Lajja' among others.Mahima Chaudhry plays Mrs Gandhi's confidante Pupul Jayakar in the movie.'Emergency' marks Kangana's first solo directorial film in which she will be also seen portraying the role of former Indian Prime minister Indira Gandhi.Talking about Mahima's role Kangana Ranaut said, "Pupul Jayakar was an author, a very close friend of Mrs Gandhi and has also written her autobiography. Mrs Gandhi confided in her about everything. If there is one thread that runs through the film and connects the audiences to the inner world of Mrs Gandhi, then it's the character of Pupul Jayakar. Even though the film is a first-person account, it is not a film where somebody is the narrator. Mrs Gandhi's interactions with Pupul are the most soulful. They shed light on how she confided her deepest darkest secrets to Pupul Jayakar. This makes her character an important person in the film called Emergency."Mahima shared her experience of working with Kangana as a director and said, "Working with Kangana is an experience because she wears so many hats with such great ease. She is playing such an important political character, Mrs Indira Gandhi. She is directing it herself and producing it. I get a lot of strength looking at her and the way she functions. Pupul Jayakar was Mrs Indira Gandhi's childhood friend so my scenes are the ones where you get to see the non-political side of this great statesman and controversial political leader during the time of Emergency. They are very open and honest with each other.You see a very different side of Mrs Gandhi. It's very interesting to play this character and it's been a wonderful experience working on this."Apart from them, the film also casts Anupam Kher and Shreyas Talpade in prominent roles.The official release date of the film is still awaited.Mahima will be soon making her Bollywood comeback with the upcoming film 'The Signature' alongside actor Anupam Kher.

SRK's 'Pardes' clocks 25 years, Subhash Ghai recalls directing the evergeen film

8 Aug 2022

Shah Rukh KhanMahima Chaudhry and late Amrish Puri's stellar performances.Recalling helming the film, Subhash Ghai said, "'Pardes' is a very dear film to me. I would like to congratulate the entire cast and crew and especially the audience for continuing to shower their love even after 25 years. My team tells me that people keep on showering their love, keep recalling the iconic scenes in the digital arena even today."Apart from the plot, credit also goes to songs such as 'Yeh Dil Deewana' and 'Meri Mehbooba' for making 'Pardes' one of the evergreen films of Bollywood.The music launch of the film was graced by late politician Atal Bihari Vajpayee.Sharing details on the same, Ghai added, "Pardes celebrated the rich culture of our country. I approached Late Arun Jaitley ji to invite Vajpayee ji to our music launch. Also, the song, 'I love my India' was released ahead of India's 50th Independence Day. It was a big coincidence. My heart goes out to India, I can go on and on describing the grandeur of this glorious nation. It is another coincidence that today I am writing and composing a song for a video 'Ghar Ghar Tiranga' to celebrate the 75th year of our independence.""I still remember people clapping and humming 'I Love my India" while it was being played on the screen. What's more memorable is their reaction to my cameo wherein I can be seen singing 'I Love my India' on screen, it embarrassed me, but it is a moment that I shall always cherish," he said.Ghai also spoke about his experience working with King Khan."I kept reminding him in every scene and song that he has to avoid his compelling, romantic side to justify Arjun's character. It was challenging for him but he nailed it! I am overjoyed over the fact that my baby is celebrating its silver jubilee and continues to receive unwavering adulation from the audience even after 25 years. I pour my heart and soul into every film of mine. Filmmaking is indeed a business but a business of the heart wherein you pour out all that you have for the audience to rejoice and relish," Ghai said.'Pardes' also featured Apurva Agnihotri, Alok Nath and Himani Shivpuri in pivotal roles. The film revolved around the idea of values in Indian and Western culture. Shah Rukh played the lead role in the blockbuster hit and Mahima played his love interest. Khan played the role of Arjun, a man who is settled in a foreign land but still believes in the cultural values of his country.

Katrina Kaifs first film was with John Abraham but she was chucked out of the film

16 Jun 2017

We remember seeing them together as an on screen couple in New York (2009) but Katrina Kaif and John Abraham would have shared screen space long ago before the film released and that would have been in 2003. During the start of his career, John Abraham did a film titled Saaya which co-starred him with Tara Sharma and Mahima Chaudhry. In a recent interview reportedly, Katrina Kaif revealed that she was initially signed for the Anurag Kashyap directorial Saaya in which she was supposed to play the role of a ghost. Readers may recall that the film had Tara Sharma playing the role of Johns pregnant wife who later turns into a spirit after she dies in an accident. Further, Kaif went on state how she was thrown out of the film after shooting for two days. Talking about the same, Katrina mentioned that she was called one night for a shoot in which she was supposed to play a ghost which was a passing shot. But the sudden exit from the film had left her heartbroken and while she was crying over the same, she came across Salman Khan.When the superstar Khan spotted her, Katrina stated that the actor had actually had a hearty laugh and his reaction obviously left her miffed. After some time, the actor approached Katrina and even calmed her down by saying that he knows where she will be going from here and that these things happen in the industry although he honestly replied that he doesnt know the reason behind this but they are pretty common. His words of reassurance definitely boosted the spirits of Katrina Kaif and she is currently one of the most sought after actress. Besides reviving the Tiger franchise with Salman Khan in Tiger Zinda Hai , Katrina Kaif will also be seen with Aamir Khan in Thugs of Hindostan and Shah Rukh Khan in Aanand L. Rais next.
