Actress Vidya Balan, who will next be seen in detective movie ‘Bobby Jasoos’, said that she is unfazed about the horde of detective movies like ‘Jagga Jasoos’ and ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshi’ being made currently.

The actress said that her movie ‘Bobby Jasoos’ is more than just a detective movie.

“It's a female detective film but it's not just a detective film, it's a human story. I am not thinking of how different we are going to be because I don't think of other films. I am sure each film will be unique,” said Vidya Balan while promoting her upcoming movie ‘Shaadi Ke Side Effects’ on a radio station.

“I am looking forward to what they do but most importantly I am looking forward to how people receive ‘Bobby Jasoos’," she added.

Actor Ranveer Singh, who played lead role in Vikramaditya Motwane's period drama ‘Lootera’, is disappointed that the critically acclaimed movie failed to get nominations at most of the awards functions.

Ranveer, who was appreciated for his performance in the film, is unhappy and disappointed that it failed to get nominated for this year's movie awards.

“I don't think ‘Lootera’ is a failure. The producers earned money and it is a great film. If Lootera was the best reviewed film of the year, then where is the recognition. It is a technically superior film of all the films released last year. I think Vikramaditya Motwane deserved nomination for direction," Ranveer Singh said to PTI.

The actor feels the film should have at least been nominated in categories like - best director, best film, cinematography and best production design.

"Such a technically superior film missing from nominations is very surprising. So, yes it is disappointing. I am disappointed for the team," he said.

Actress Alia Bhatt, who plays the female lead in the movie adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘2 States’, said that she read and admired the book even before the movie adaptation was announced.

“I had read ‘2 States’ even before the book was getting made into a film. It's a beautiful book,” said Alia Bhatt to IANS.

‘Two States’ is a love story of a Punjabi boy who falls in love with a Tamil girl and the film revolves around the cultural clash they and their families encounter.

Arjun Kapoor plays the Punjabi boy while Alia Bhatt portrays a Tamilian Brahmin.

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor, who will share screen space with Priyanka Chopra for the first time in ‘Gunday’ movie, said that Priyanka Chopra was an inspiration to work with.

“Rather than being intimidating, she is inspiring as her body of work speaks for itself. In other films, actors might be intimidated by her but looking at the kind of work she has done, you would become her fan,” said Arjun Kapoor to PTI.

“She gives one respect and she never makes you feel like you have done one-two-four number of films. If you combine mine and Ranveer's quota of work with Ali's, that is her yearly quota of work. She does not let that come in her way and that's the nicest part about her," he added.

The actor said that he prepared for the running sequences in the film by practicing on the treadmill.

Actress Alia Bhatt, who will next be seen in Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Highway’ sans makeup, said that appearing in the movie without any makeup was a blessing.

“I didn't really have any problem shooting without make-up. In fact, there was no stress about touch-up, the more crumpled the clothes, the better it was,” said 20 year old Alia Bhatt to IANS.

“So the dirtier I looked in appearance, the better it was. So I didn't have to think much and that was actually very comfortable," she added.

The actress, who made her debut in Karan Johar’s ‘Student of the Year’, said that there were moments in the movie where she surprised herself.

Actress turned filmmaker Pooja Bhatt is irked with the title of Akshay Kumar’s upcoming movie ‘Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', as she too released a film titled ‘Holiday’ in 2006.

The actress said that she had refused to share the title with producer Vipul Shah.

"Vipul Shah approached me for 'Holiday' and I refused. He approached (the) Guild (Film and Television Producers Guild Of India) - Rejected. Next stop? IMPPA (Indian Motion Pictures' Producers Association) where he registered 'Holiday' with a tag line," Pooja posted on Twitter on Wednesday.

Pooja Bhatt said that this wasn’t the first time that an Akshay Kumar movie has used a title of her movie.

The actress also was not happy with Akshay Kumar’s movie ‘Thank You’. Pooja Bhatt said that she had registered the title for a remake of her father Mahesh Bhatt's film ‘Arth’. However, it was used by Anees Bazmee.

Actor Ranveer Singh, who shares screen space with Priyanka Chopra in upcoming movie ‘Gunday’, lauds Priyanka Chopra for being professional and efficient on the set.

“What I love about Priyanka is that she makes everyone's job easy," Ranveer told reporters during the promotion of the film at a college.

"She is actor-friendly, director-friendly, and producer-friendly. She makes everyone's task easier by tapping-in her experience. She is a one-take artist," he added.

The actor, who previously worked with Priyanka Chopra’s cousin Parineeti Chopra in ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’, said that the main difference between the cousins was their experience.

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has rubbished the reports suggesting that she was looking to ‘lease out’ her flat in Khar locality to pay her debts.

“Where did this come from? I am amazed at how off-the-mark the report is. It is a thousand percent untrue," said the actress turned businesswoman to IANS.

“By the grace of god, I`m most comfortably able to look after myself financially. It is not only untrue it`s extremely irritating to read such fabrications about oneself," added the actress.

Actress, who co-owns the IPL team Kings XI Punjab, said doesn`t know whether to be amused or annoyed by the reports.

Soumik Sen’s upcoming directorial debut movie ‘Gulaab Gang’ will see talented actresses Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla share the screen space for the very first time.

Though both the actresses were at their peak in the 90’s they never came together for a movie.

Earlier Juhi Chawla has said that the reason she never worked with Madhuri Dixit before was due to the fierce competition that existed between them.

But Madhuri Dixit said that she never thought of Juhi as a competitor and it was finally inspiring to work with her in the film, releasing on March 7.

“I never thought of her as my competitor. I never had any qualms about working with anyone. This is my thinking that we are actors not horses running towards one finish line. It is a creative field and we like certain roles and work with people we like. It is not that I have not worked in two-heroine projects earlier. I worked with Preity Zinta (Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke), Aishwarya Rai (Devdas) and Karisma Kapur (Dil Toh Pagal Hai)," Madhuri Dixit told PTI in an interview.

Madhuri Dixit said that it was inspiring to work alongside Juhi Chawla in ‘Gulaab Gang’.

“It is wonderful that we did a film together finally. She is a good actress. It is inspiring to see another good actress work with you. I think our scenes are very tight and I would definitely love to work with her again,” she said.

Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap said that he has always lived under the shadows of his elder brother and acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. But added that since ‘Dabangg’ people have started to recognize him and not just as Anurag Kashyap’s younger brother.

“I have always been compared to him and I have always lived under his shadow. But with ‘Dabangg’ I was able to come out of it," Abhinav Kashyap told IANS.

The filmmaker said that he was very fortunate to have an extremely gifted brother like Anurag Kashyap.

“We both make different kinds of films and we have both created a name for ourselves. I have learnt my work from him; so his shadow is a good one,” he said.

Asked if the brothers take advice from each other, the 39-year-old said, "We don't discuss before accepting a project, but we do discuss after that. We value each other's opinion. I give him a mass entertaining opinion and he gives me a very cinema-literate opinion."
