Parineeti on Big B: My journey in cinema would have been incomplete without him

Actress Parineeti Chopra, who will be seen working with Amitabh Bachchan in the upcoming film ‘Uunchai’ directed by stalwart filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya, feels over the moon to be working with megastar and says that her journey would have been incomplete if she didn’t get to work with him.

Parineeti says, “It is just amazing that I am getting to work with Mr. Bachchan this year, which happens to be his milestone 80th birth year. Even after he has accomplished possibly everything, it was amazing to see him approach every day on the sets like it was the first day of his career.”

“The dedication, the drive, and the passion he has for cinema is incomparable and that’s what sets him apart. He is an institution and I have ticked off working with him from my bucket list, thanks to Uunchai! My journey in cinema would have been incomplete if I didn’t get to work with Bachchan sir.”

She adds, “The time I got to spend with him on the sets of Uunchai is one of the most precious moments of my career.”

“He taught me the true meaning of being humble in spite of being the megastar that he is and that is what my biggest learning was from him. What I connected with him the most is that he is so inquisitive and is always enthusiastic to learn! He is a beautiful person and it was a treat to work with him on the same film.”

In Barjatya’s ‘Uunchai’, Parineeti will be seen with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan and brilliant acting icons like Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Danny Denzongpa, Sarika, and Neena Gupta. The film is releasing on November 11 in the theatres.

‘KBC 14’ contestant tells Big B how a train journey changed his life

A 35-year-old scriptwriter Vikram Khurrana told megastar and host Amitabh Bachchan during ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 14’ how traveling in a local train changed his perspective towards life and inspired him to be a scriptwriter.

Vikram, who hails from Mumbai, started his career in finance at an early age because of his father’s deteriorating health but while he was traveling in a local train, a moment changed him completely and he decided to change his profession.

He said: “I used to catch the train that would leave from Kandivali station at 9.02 a.m. If I missed that train, I would get an earful from my boss. Thus I would always strive to catch that train, even if there was no space inside, and I would always find myself standing at the door. At 9.02 a.m. as I was traveling to the office, I was not happy at all, there was an inner voice saying, ‘I need change'”.

He added how he realized that if he was not going to change his profession he will keep traveling on local trains only.

“There was a 14-year-old standing in front of me at the door. Behind him was an 18-year-old boy and behind him, I was there, and then behind me was a 45-year-old man. At that moment, at the doorway of a train coach, I found my whole life panned out. At 24 I was here, at 18 I traveled by the same train to college, and then at 14 to I was there. I did not want to be 45 and standing in the same place. That was the time I decided I wanted to get off the train.”

This is how Vikram decided to do something different and bigger in life. His intelligent answers and interesting story impressed Big B.

‘KBC 14’ airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

People fell at Subodh Bhave’s feet whenever he walked in as Shivaji Maharaj

Actor Subodh Bhave, who will be seen playing the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the upcoming film Har Har Mahadev, revealed that the films unit members used to fall at his feet with respect every time he walked in on the set in the outfit of his character of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

The actor said that ultimately the audience decides the fate of a film but for actors, it’s important that they preserve the sanctity of their role. He shared, “Whether you are a good actor or not, the audience decides after watching the film. But before that, the most important thing when you play a character is that you have to preserve the sanctity of the role. Acting comes later.”

He spoke about the treatment he used to receive on the film’s set, “Whenever I used to come on the set dressed as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, our director Abhijit Deshpande would come first and fall at my feet. My producers would also fall at my feet whenever they were present on the set. But they fell at the feet of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and not of Subodh Bhave.”

He added, “You should learn to respect the character you are going to play and the costume that the character wears. When you respect that outfit, you also respect the person wearing it and their thoughts”.

Har Har Mahadev’ narrates the inspirational story of a real battle that was led by Bajiprabhu, where only 300 soldiers fought off a 12000-strong enemy army and won.

Touted to be Marathi cinema’s first multilingual film, Har Har Mahadev’ has been produced by ZEE Studios and directed by Abhijeet Deshpande. The film also stars Sharad Kelkar, Amruta Khanvilkar, and Sayli Sanjeev and is set to hit the theatres on October 25, 2022.
