Why Pooja Hegde signed up for Rohit Shetty’s ‘Cirkus’

She will also be seen in the Telugu film ‘Acharya’ starring Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan.

In conversation with an interview, the actress shares the major reason behind doing a Rohit Shetty film.

Pooja told in an interview: “I have to mention that in our house even though all of us love watching Rohit sir’s films because they are super entertaining, my father is the biggest fan of Rohit Shetty. My father is one of those movie buffs in the house who live with the character, behave like them for as long as one week post the watching of the movie.

“I mean, who put a tika on the forehead and a rudraksha bracelet and change his voice like Mr. Bachchan and talk to me and my brother like the way he was doing in the film ‘Sarkar’! My father did (laughed).”

While Pooja shared that ‘Singham’, ‘Golmaal 1’, ‘Simmba’ were some of her personal favorites, she shared another incident of how her father reacted to few of these films.

“After we watched the film ‘Singham’, my dad got a temporary ‘Singham’ tattoo and ‘Aata Majhi Satakli’ was his takiya kalam for a few days. My father is such a big fan that he also loved and laughed at the film ‘Bol Bachchan’. Yes, in our house, my father is the greatest entertainer and I have done Rohit sir’s film ‘Cirkus’ for my father. I hope, when the film releases we all get some extraordinarily entertaining response from papa,” Pooja signed off.

Video of sadhu going into a trance listening to his song moves Sid Sriram

Video clips of a sadhu enjoying a devotional song by singer Sid Sriram during a concert at the famous Kapaleeswarar temple and experiencing the presence of the divine have left the singer moved beyond words.

Taking to Instagram to post the clips of the sadhu in a state of delight, the ace singer wrote, “I love singing at the Kapaleeswar Temple. Last night, when singing there, I felt such a deep resonance.

“Normally after my concerts, I post some clips of the musicians and I performing on stage. Today, I got sent some video clips of a Siddha Purusha experiencing the concert and dancing.

“These two clips had a profound impact on me. The perspective switch from performing on stage to watching someone else immersed in the music with an abandon is special.

“Last night felt like a blessing and a personal reminder as to why I love doing this. Loved being on stage with Vidwans Sri S Varadarajan, Sri J Vaidhyanathan, and Sri Ghatam Karthick.”

It’s always a pleasure to work with Sameeksha and director Siddhant, it gives the vibes of happy-go-lucky when you work with like-minded people and it’s mostly doing work and having fun. As far as performing in the song is totally in the audience’s hands, I hope they like our chemistry and I shall look forward to working on more projects with Sameeksha.

On the other hand, Sameeksha adds about her working experience and says: “It was wonderful working with the entire Team and I can’t wait to collaborate with them again. They ensure that everything right from the audio track to the music video shapes up well.”

Ajay Devgn always wanted to be a director, says childhood pal Rohit Shetty

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty revealed on Monday that Bollywood star and his childhood friend Ajay Devgn’s first love was direction and that he always wanted to be a director.

He also praised Ajay for his sound knowledge of the technicalities of filmmaking.

Speaking on the sidelines of the trailer launch of ‘Runway 34’ which has been directed by Ajay, the ‘Golmaal’ director said, “This may come as a surprise, but since the time I have known Ajay, he has always wanted to be a director. His technical knowledge as a director is unparalleled and you will get to see that in ‘Runway 34’ where he has shot with 10-13 cameras in a cockpit. Shooting with heavy equipment in such a confined space is not an easy task.”

“In addition to acting and direction, Ajay is the producer of the film as well. And let me tell you, he is one producer, who goes all out if he believes in the script. He won’t hold back from spending on the film and I have personally seen that happening with ‘Raju Chacha’, that film was made on a budget of Rs 38 crore at a time when most Bollywood films were made for Rs 7-8 crore.”

While Ajay and Rohit have been frequent collaborators, the two have also been childhood friends with both their fathers working in the action vertical of Hindi mainstream cinema.

S.S. Rajamouli has cleared the air on the big debate on his upcoming movie with Mahesh Babu.

As it is being rumoured that Rajamouli’s movie with Mahesh will have another star hero, the ‘RRR’ director that there is no truth in the gossip.

There was gossip about another star actor joining the Mahesh Babu-Rajamouli venture, which was turned down by the director himself.

It is also reported that Rajamouli has planned to wrap up the shooting of this yet-to-begin movie in less than a year, despite its grandeur.

Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu, who awaits the release of his ‘Sarkaru Vaari Paata’, will wrap up a movie, which is to be directed by Trivikram Srinivas.
