Sonu Sood regrets not being part of Dabangg 2
Producer Arbaaz Khan announced that the sequel's script did not allow him to cast Sood
Actor Sonu Sood, who gave an award-winning performance as villain Chhedi Singh in Dabangg, regrets not being a part of the sequel.
In 2011, producer Arbaaz Khan announced that the sequel's script did not allow him to cast Sood in the villain's role, and they roped in southern star Prakash Raj instead.
"It was a creative call of the director and the script needed someone else but I am still part of the family. I wish I could have been part of Dabangg 2, but the script demanded someone else," Sood said.
"My next film will be with Naseeruddin Shah. It is titled Maximum. I am playing a cop in the film. The film is based in Mumbai," he said.
In awe of opposites
Filmmaker Karan Johar is all praises for veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who has portrayed two completely opposite characters in two of his productions — Agneepath and Student of The Year.
"When you watch Agneepath and then when you watch Student of The Year, you will see the versatility of Rishi Kapoor. You will be surprised to see that he can do two extremely different parts in the same year," the 39-year-old producer-director said.
While Agneepath hit theatres on Thursday, Johar's directorial Student of The Year is expected to release in the middle of this year.
Prateik Babbar: Brand ‘Bachchan' is irreplaceable
Any remake of an Amitabh Bachchan film cannot affect "Brand Bachchan", says actor Prateik Babbar, who believes the megastar is irreplaceable.
"I don't think anyone can replace the brand "Bachchan". You can call him a brand. But for me, he defines Indian cinema when it comes to actors," the 25-year-old said.
Babbar and Big B shared screen space in Prakash Jha's Aarakshan. He is busy promoting his new film Ek Deewana Tha, which has British model Amy Jackson as the female lead.
