Story behind 'Singh is Kinng' title

In the same breath, Kumar adds, "Despite the title, the film is not about any specific community. Through the Sikh character I play in the film (Happy Singh) we're trying to convey that anyone with a positive attitude in life can be a king. It's all about attitude, spirit and self-esteem!" But how did the 'King' become 'Kinng'? Laughs the man behind Aankhen, Waqt and Namastey London, Vipul Shah, "As a Producer I have my film's interest to caretake. We need success at any cost. My view has always been that whatever can be done to better the vibes of the film or add to the 'luck' factor should be done. So very simply, the extra N is only to bring it numerologically to an auspicious number." Commenting on Bollywood's belief in numerology, he adds, "As Indians, don't we do this all the time? Whether it's while buying a car, striking a deal or Grihapravesh, we always look for auspicious dates or lucky charms, don't we? So as a Producer I'm looking for auspicious signs for my film!" Singh Is Kinng is out worldwide on August 8 with previews in select locations on August 7. It is an Indian Films-Studio 18 release.

Genelia D'Souza, the next Bollywood bee

Born in Mumbai, she moved with her family from Goa to England. But as she bore the dream of becoming an actress, she later shifted back to India to turn her dream into a reality. Yes….we are talking about the south beauty Genelia D’Souza, who has marked her presence in the Bollywood with her recent movie Mere Baap Pehle Aap and is looking forward to secure her position with her coming film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na in which she is staring opposite to Aamir’s nephew Imran Khan.

The actress has been quite popular in the Tollywood where she has given many hit movies like Happy and Bommarillu. So much so, that her debut movie in Kannada, Satya In Love grossed 4 crores in opening week, thus setting a new record in the Kannada film industry. The film went on to become a huge blockbuster.

Genelia also starred in the big budget Boys directed by Shankar. The film proved to be a box-office hit and launched her career.

The actress has large dark eyes with killing smile. She has an uncommon look which parts her from others. She doesn’t have airy looks like Kangna Ranawat or Celina Jetly nor is she glamorous like Bipasha or Kareena. She can aptly be called the ‘girl-next-door’ who is ready to take on to your nerves as she opens her mouth. Her unique speaking quality and bubbly expressions do not fail to sweep you off the grounds. She has got a fresh momento in her acts.

Recently, she won the Filmfare Award for the Best Actress for her performance in the blockbuster movie Bommarillu. She is yet to rock the Bollywood with her vibrant colours with her coming movies: It’s My Life in which she paired with Harman Baweja and a multistarrer movie Life Partner.

Aishwarya gets into corporate power games

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been experimenting with her looks and makeup in every film of late. The actress started working on her look in Dhoom II where she sported not only a lean and sexy look, but also a golden tan. In Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar, Aishwarya wore black lenses keeping in mind the complete Indian princess look.

Now, with Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar Raj, Aishwarya will be sporting a complete corporate look since she plays the head honcho of a power plant. She wears a cool hair bun, teamed with dazzling solitaires and serious business suits. A unit source says, “Since this was the first film that Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya were going to appear together in after their marriage, it was obvious she wanted to look her best. And she wanted to work on all aspects of her look whether it was make up, hair or dress.”

It was also rumoured that Aishwarya’s role is based on the character of glamour girl Rebecca Mark the vice-chairman of Enron. Aishwarya plays the contemporary businesswoman in the film and hence RGV has modeled her role on Rebecca. “I am representing a company in the film but my role is original. Moreover, I can’t have a Dhoom kind of body for every role. It was not a hitting-the-gym kind of role. No special effort was made in terms of looks. It was different and I enjoyed the character,” says Aishwarya. More importantly, Aishwarya had seen Sarkar and knew that Ramu liked understated power. So she wanted her look to be very subtle, but at the same time, powerful. Aishwarya is the new addition to the cast of Sarkar Raj as she was not a part of the original Sarkar.
