Ramu has started blogging about his new film Agyaat on facebook. The film is released by UTV. You can check out the link here or scroll down to read the story/synopsis of Agyaat.  

AgyaatThe story is about how a film unit on a shoot, in a far away land in a certain situation gets trapped deep in a forest and one by one the members start getting killed.

It is an unknown entity which starts killing them one by one and this is really the premise of the film. The real exciting part is the human drama of how people shed their inhibitions, egos and forget hierarchies when faced with death. It’s about the emotional complexities that extreme fear unleashes in people.

I always believed that a location should be treated like a character. I have personally seen quite a few jungles in India and also in Thailand, Indonesia and Brazil. But when I set my eyes on the Sigiriya jungle in Sri Lanka, it took my breath away with its sheer character. One might say a jungle is a jungle but then you have not seen the Sigiriya forest. It’s both enchanting and terrifying at the same time. Every tree of it looks like it’s hiding something beneath it, which is just waiting to pounce on you. That jungle alone is worth making this film.

For the subject matter of “Agyaat” which is about a set of people trapped in a certain situation in a jungle and something in there, killing them one after one I couldn’t even have dreamed of finding a location anywhere as effective as Sigiriya, especially since I have no intention of showing the entity which is creating the terror and killing them all. It is imperative that the look of the jungle substitutes for that lack so the jungle creates the trap. The entity which is killing them one by one creates the deadline and these two together create a race to nowhere as the group just does not know where to run, where to hide and whom or what to kill.

And now the SPOILER ALERT!

The killer in the film is nothing but a man eating p-y-t-h-o-n! And according to gossipmongers Ramu got the idea of making Agyaat after he saw Cloverfield.

KrrishAfter Koi Mil Gaya, he wants them back! But not as the friendly Jadoo this time. He wants them to be big menace, powerful villains. The superhero played by Hrithik Roshan will get to beat them and save the world.

Also, the threat will be much bigger in the third part of the series. Tentatively titled Krrish2, the story will move beyond the family issue or anything to do with india. Post-Kites, Hrithik wants to go international, and on the lines of Hollywood superheroes, the aliens will be on the mission to destro the world. 

But there is a problem! According to gossipmongers, the writers developing the script of Krrish2 are not too excited with Hrithik’s idea of aliens. They feel alien villains will be too alien for desi junta. The script is still in development and has not been locked yet.

Papa Roshan also wants a fresh pair in the film. Ofcourse beta Roshan cant be replaced and so he is thinking about a new actress opposite him. Among the many other names, Deepika Padukone is a strong contender for the role. Once Kites is released, Rakesh Roshan will focus all his attention on Krrish2.

love-aaj-kal new posterLove Aaj Kal – as the name suggests, its about the changing philosophy of love. What was it yesterday and how is it today ?

With fast food joints, coffee shops, quick delivery pizzas and nachos, has the love quotient also changed or is it still the same ? Bollywood’s new love guru Imtiaz Ali ponders over it.

The conclusion – well, we all know. Its a happy ending. The style has changed but the experience remains the same. Here is some exclusive info about the film’s synopsis.

Love Aaj Kal is the story of Jai ( Saif Ali Khan) and Meera (Deepika Padukone). It starts at a cafe in London which is run by Vir Singh ( Rishi Kapoor). The duo meet, jump into bed first and then they fall in love. With Jai-Meera’s love story, there is parallel track of Vir Singh, his love story with Harleen, which happens in flashback and is set in Delhi. One is today’s love story and the other is of yesteryears. Saif Ali also plays the younger Vir Singh (Rishi Kapoor). And who is Harleen ? Deepika ? We got no clue. Rahul Khanna also has a cameo in the film.

Mid-day has published the plot details of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next Guzaarish. It stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai. Here is more about the story of the film from the report.

The film bears similarities to John Badham’s Whose Life Is It Anyway? and will see Hrithik in a wheelchair for most of the scenes.

Hrithik plays Ethan, a radio show host. Aishwarya plays a married nurse who is also Hrithik’s caregiver. The film also deals with the controversial subject of mercy killing/euthanasia. Ash’s character is interesting because she plays a married woman who gets attracted to Hrithik as the second half progresses. The film has dark tones throughout.

Paraplegia is an impairment in motor and/or sensory function of the lower extremities. It is usually the result of spinal cord injury or a congenital condition such as spina bifida.

And according to our sources Hrithik plays a magician whose trick geoes wrong during one of the performances and thats how he becomes paraplegic. Looks like Bhansali is In the mood for “Black” again!

santosh sivanYes, the news is indeed true. Cinematographer Santosh Sivan is back with Mani Ratnam. Earlier Manikandan was shooting Ratnam’s film Raavan, which is almost 60 percent complete. But because of Ratnam’s heart attack, the film’s schedule went haywire. And Manikandan had committed his dates for Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan’s new film.

Without any options, Ratnam called up his old favourite Santosh Sivan. According to gossipmongers, there is more to this story. It wasnt all well between Ratnam and Manikandan. Because of professional reasons ofcourse. And it was good excuse to part aways.

Mumbaimirror has got more specific details about the film’s plot…

Raavan is a modern-day Ramayana, in which an encounter specialist shifts to a small town in northern India after his marriage to a classical dancer Raagini (Aishwarya Rai). The town is run by a tribal goon Beera (played by hubby Abhishek Bachchan). Beera who to avenge the inspector, kidnaps Raagini and  eventually falls for her. So what would Raagini do ? Go back or staywith her kidnapper ?  

Indiafm.com has published the story details of Amitabh Bachchan & Ben Kingsley starrer Teen Patti. The film is directed by Leena Yadav ( Shabd). If you have missed it, here it is…the basic story of Teen Patti….

Ben Kingsley & Amitabh BachchanPerci Trachtenberg (Ben Kingsley), widely regarded as the world’s greatest living mathematician, meets Venkat Subramaniam (Amitabh Bachchan), a reclusive math genius from India, who has cracked a theory that could redefine the principles of probability and randomness.

Aware that he is on the precipice of an extraordinary discovery, one that could find applications across various sciences, Venkat is encouraged to test his theory in the real world. But what starts out as an experiment between a charismatic young professor and an eccentric older one soon descends into a game neither of them can control.

 Convinced that Venkat’s discovery has the originality and significance to change the narrative arc of mathematics, Perci understands that Venkat’s theory, in essence, questions the idea of what is random and what is fated.

A surprising and deeply moving redemption, initiated by Perci, closes this stupendously modern film that is as much about the private equations of honour and chance, as it is about knowledge that can change the world.

Its too much of philosophy for us! Can someone please dissect it for us in simple and straight words. But ya, it sounds interesting for sure! We will be looking forward to it.
