No kidding

Sharman Joshi may play the lead in Ferrari Ki Sawaari but producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra is gaga over the kid Ritvik Sahore,who plays Sharmans son in the film. Vidhu says,The boy is one of the best performers in the movie. When he performed,I cautioned Sharman and Boman Irani that they had a natural performer amidst them and that they had to match up to him.

But finding this young talent was a Herculean task. Director Rajesh Mapuskar,recalls how they hunted all over India and auditioned 10,000 kids. Most of the kids would learn the dialogue and start performing,which is not what they wanted them to do. Finally,this boy was spotted by casting director Rohan Mapuskar at a suburban mall. The boys parents were not ready to come for the audition but Rohan convinced them.

Though Vidhu is fond of the kid,he has not shown the film to Ritvik. He says he wants to preserve his innocence. Even during the films shoot,Ritvik was not shown the shots because Then he would start thinking of himself as the hero. He doesnt know the fine work that he has done, says the impressed producer.

Performance anxiety

Akshay Kumar is doing an action film after a gap of almost seven years with Rowdy Rathore and as the release date approaches,in June,he is worried and stressed because of this. He said this during a promotional event of the film. The film which has Akshay playing a Rowdy ruffian with a clean heart,-has him lifting his heroine Sonakshi Sinha for a scene. The actor grinned saying,Lifting Sonakshi was not such a big stunt as he has lifted several heavy people including wrestler Undertaker.

Family holiday

The family which holidays together stays together! A family-oriented person,Raima Sen rarely holidays with her pals. Recalling the last time she went on a holiday with friends,was last year to Kathmandu. While shooting for films,the actress is always travelling but for a holiday,she prefers going away with family.

Raima is looking forward to spending some quality time with her folks in Goa where she and her sister Riya have bought two villas which have been furnished by their parents. The actress also adds that both the sisters always usher in the new year with their parents. That is the rule,which no one is allowed to break as the important thing is being together, says Raima.

Birthday greetings

Salman Khan,who has made good deeds popular with his Being Human initiative,is not called a large-hearted man for no reason. While he may have had his differences with producer-director Karan Johar in the past,it is all,well,history. For Johars impending 40th birthday bash,the brawny actor gave a video message for the birthday boy among a lot of other friends from Bollywood,which according to those who have seen it,is the most entertaining of the lot. Considering that we have not caught a glimpse of it yet,we will hold our judgement but meanwhile,lets raise a toast to a brand new friendship in B-town.
