Never used my father's name to enter film industry : Javed Jaffrey

Noted actor Javed Jaffrey says he has never used his father Jagdeep`s influence to get work.

Javed, son of veteran actor-comedian Jagdeep, is known for donning various hats - that of an actor, dancer, singer, choreographer, VJ, ad filmmaker, among others.

He made his acting debut with `Meri Jung` in 1985 where he made a huge impact in a negative role. He has been part of many hit films like `100 Days`, `Fire`, `Earth`, `Salaam Namaste`, `Singh is Kingg` and `3 Idiots` and others.

"Being the son or daughter of a legendary film personality you get more respect. But I have never used that (my father`s name) as an influence to enter industry. It is not that I got work because of him. My father did not do a film for me or launched me, he wanted us to do things on our own," Javed said.

"Rather I never thought I will enter the film industry, it happened all by chance. Destiny played a part and brought me here in this industry," he said.

Javed has played a variety of roles, from negative to positive, but he has a penchant for comedy.

"I like to play all kind of roles. You can`t do same stuff every time as it becomes boring. Comedy is my soft spot. But I love doing action, thriller, drama and negative (roles). I am not comfortable with sexuality, intimate scenes," he said.

The actor will be seen next in debutante director Faraz Haider`s `War Chhod Na Yaar`.

"I am playing captain Qureshi from the Punjab region of Pakistan. So my tone (language) in the film is Punjabi-Urdu. The film establishes relationship in an interesting way. I had great fun doing this film," he said.

Javed will also be seen alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor in `Besharam`. The actor has a few scenes with Ranbir and a climax scene with Neetu and Rishi Kapoor.

"We did interact on sets. I am a big fan of Rishiji, he is the best actor. Neetuji is fantastic. Ranbir is a fine actor and he is very focused about his work. They are humble and nice people," he said.

Javed will also be seen in Hrithik Roshan starrer `Bang Bang` and `Jo Bhi Karva Lo` with Arshad Warsi.

Hrithik Roshan Goes 'Bang Bang' Again

The 39-year-old actor underwent a brain surgery on July 7 to remove a blood clot. Hrithik had an head injury while performing a stunt for the movie.

Hrithik Roshan will resume shooting for Siddharth Anand's Bang Bang by mid November.

The third schedule of the film was supposed to go on the floors from July 10 but the project got delayed due to his brain surgery last month.

"I am doubly charged and looking forward to resuming my amazing journey with the team ofBang Bang from mid November. We promise to give our best to making the film one of the finest ever," Hrithik said in a statement.

The actor teams up with Katrina Kaif again after Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara in 2011.

Siddharth said he opted for November shoot because Hrithik would get busy with the promotions of "Krrish 3".

"Hrithik is raring to go and his enthusiasm is infectious. But his home production Krrish 3's release on November 4 is around the same time and he will be fully involved with its promotions. So we decided to start the third schedule of Bang Bang in mid-November," the director said.

The release date of the film has also been shifted from May next year to October 2, 2014.

"Given Hrithik's revised schedule, we are now resuming our shoot in mid-November and have decided to lock the four-day Dusshera weekend of 2014. So we will come all guns blazing on October 2, and the date will coincide with the country's festive season," said Vijay Singh, CEO of Fox Star Studios, producers of the film.

Hrithik Roshan writes poem on his injury!

Actor Hrithik Roshan, who recently underwent brain surgery for removal of a two-month-old clot, has been penning poetry.

The 39-year-old actor is currently recovering at home and has been using his time to write poems.

He even posted two of them on his Facebook page in which he detailed his surgery and struggle to recover soon.

"Eyes on the stars... Feet on the ground... I am homebound... If the clot recurs... a bigger price I pay... So I'm bound to the bed... 4 weeks they say... (A test of my will in every way)," the actor posted on his Facebook page.

After reading his poems on the social networking site, many of his friends have requested him to come out with an "inspirational book."

Katrina Kaif's Journey In B-Town

The babe turns 29 and we hope she has a wonderful, rocking birthday with her special ones.

Born on July 16, 1984, Katrina Kaif started her career with Boom, which unfortunately was doomed at the BO. The babe’s stint in Bollywood has been quite an interesting one since. From leaving a bad taste in our mouths with Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya to surprising us with a bohemian role in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, KK has done it all. She has acted (wait…did we say ‘acted’?) in a Yash Chopra film (Jab Tak Hai Jaan) and got away with not showing a single trace of emotion. But again we overlook all of that, as we loved the sweet and edgy character she played in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan…That’s Kat for you – she can irritate you with her expressionless face and then suddenly, out of the blue, she will pull a rabbit out of her well-preserved style coffers, appear in an out and out stylish avatar and give us something really cool to remember (cases in point: Raajneeti, Chikni Chameli item song).

Style: The babe usually keeps it simple. She goes all high street every once in awhile, but you never see her going edgy and neon-ish. When the young (and the not so young) Bollywood chicks are playing around with those bright scarlet shades, shocking pink shoes and avant-garde creations, Kaif is still very laidback (or should we say ‘old-school’?) in terms of style. She likes her makeup nude – a gown or a saree for a glam occasion… and viola! Kaif is ready with her hassle free statement. We would love to see her in cropped tops, flowing palazzos, jumpsuits – there’s so much out there to choose from; the Chikni Chameli just needs to have some hardcore style fun.

Love life: Kaif left the beefy hunk Salman Khan or the young and peppy Ranbir Kapoor. And looks like the two are going pretty strong (as strong as KK’s love for robotic expressions, perhaps?). The two were in Ibiza recently, having a gala time at a concert. KK’s b’day has definitely started on a romantic note…we hope a certain Tiger doesn’t spread raita over her lovey-dovey plans with Ranbir.

Movies: We really want to see her act (c’mon, it’s been more than ten years already!). Give us a performance that blows us away and we won’t ever point fingers at your thespian skills again, KK. She will be seen in Dhoom:3 and Bang Bang next year. And we hope the action scenes are spicy and the romantic ones are full of emotion, or else we can already see your future Kat – in the Go Goa Gone sequel as one of those spooky, blood sucking zombies.

Hrithik Roshan Raring To Get Back In Action

Post his brain surgery last week, Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan is back home and hopes to return to work as soon as possible.

Hrithik has been advised four-weeks of rest and after that the actor promises to be back in action.

"I can't afford to take a sick leave. This throws a lot of lives, lives of people very dear to me, completely out of whack. But I cannot worry, that solves nothing. I have to focus on what can be," Hrithik said in a statement.

"All I have to do is take a decision... I decide that I have the power to turn a curse into a boon, as I have done in the past. I will make up for this in the most wonderful way imaginable for all the people concerned," he said.

Hrithik's much awaited super-hero film 'Krrish 3' directed by his father Rakesh Roshan, will release on November 4. The shooting schedule of his upcoming film 'Bang Bang' has been postponed till he recuperates.
