Deepika Padukone Joins Imran Khan After Spilt From Ranbir Kapoor
Deepika in Break Ke Baad after split from Ranbir

Right after Deepika Padukone's breakup with Ranbir Kapoor, the actress is coincidentally doing a film titled Break Ke Baad with Imran Khan.

That's what Kunal Kohli has chosen to call the first film that he is producing and not directing.

Says Kunal: "I and director Danish Aslam always wanted to call his film Break Ke Baad because it's about a couple played by Imran and Deepika who breakup and want to come back together. But since we didn't have the rights to the title, we didn't want to announce it officially."

Kunal and his team couldn't locate the legal owners of the title anywhere in Mumbai. "We finally tracked it down to Bangalore to a 60-year-old gentleman who deals in electrical goods. He owns a company called Seva Films. 'Break Ke Baad' is one of the titles he had registered."

"He loved our idea and gladly parted with the title. Just like Break Ke Baad, while writing Hum Tum I wanted my film to be called only that. Milind Soman had that title. I called him for it and finally he sold it to us for Rs.1.5 lakh," he added.

However, he said, getting permission to shoot in Delhi was far more difficult. "So many recent films have been shot in Delhi. Now the rules for shooting in the Capital have changed. I could write a thesis on what I've gone through to get permission to shoot in Delhi."

Kunal's problems as a producer don't end there. He has been denied permission to shoot in Australia's Gold Coast. "So we'll have to shoot in Cape Town and fudge the Gold Coast."

Break Ke Baad is set in Delhi and Australia.

Movie Review: Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year


Director: Shimit Amin
Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Gauhar Khan, Manish Chaudhary,Shahzahn Padamsee
Rating: ****

Rocket Singh is quite relatable in recent times. Half the day one gets uncalled-for calls from salesmen wanting to sell us products from the world. And in the other half almost every employee in any organization dreams of starting his own company like his workplace. Rocket Singh combines these common-man conflicts to come up with a compelling narrative.

Harpreet Singh Bedi (Ranbir Kapoor) has always been a below average student and post graduation he desires to be a salesman. He joins as a trainee in a company that sells computers but goofs up in an early deal that invites him abuse by bosses and ridicule by colleagues. Relegated to his desk, Harpreet is restricted from going on field and realizes that his ideologies are not in sync with the so-called professionals of today. Soon he thinks of a way to get even with his boss Puri (Manish Chaudhary) and starts his own secret sales and service agency while continuing to work in his existing company.

Though not designed likewise, Rocket Singh kinda starts where Wake Up Sid ends. The protagonist has just completed his graduation, has gained a sense of responsibility and is all raring to go in life. Ranbir Kapoor graduates both in terms of his character and as an actor.

When the film is in the hands of a smart writer and skilful director, it can never go wrong. Rocket Singh has the correct combo of writer Jaideep Sahni and director Shimit Amin who team again to come up with another winner after Chak De India. Jaideep Sahni works towards sketching every character to real-life precision. And though these characters are extremely ambitious in pulling off clandestine commerce right under the eye of their boss, Sahni doesn’t make the screenplay look larger-than-life at any point.

The trademark elements of Sahni’s scripting style can be sensed in the writing of Rocket Singh as well. On the lines of the team-building of Chak De India, Harpreet puts together a team for his undercover company. And like the ethical conning in Khosla Ka Ghosla, this team also tricks its competitor company, where interestingly they are employed. The detailing towards establishing the protagonist’s changing conflicts comes out convincingly in the screenplay. The dialogues are wonderfully effective with a witty punch in every line and a non-preachy management mantra in another.

While any sales person or an average office executive can effortlessly identify with the setting of the film, director Shimit Amin doesn’t restrict the audience till them. He works more towards the human angle giving the film a universal appeal, while retaining its office authenticity. Harpreet’s field induction scene is smart and sassy. The pre-interval scene where boss Puri mocks and degrades Harpreet for his mess up is poignant. Like in Chak De India, Shimit thankfully refrains from the regular Bollywood tendency to liberally work out a parallel romance track. There is a love story which is kept short-n-sweet and is briskly defined through a transition song.

Salim-Sulaiman limit the soundtrack to a couple of tracks which are either employed as transition songs or played in background, thereby not interrupting the flow of the film. Vikash Anshum’s cinematography and Arindam Ghatak’s editing are just perfect. Niharika Khan dresses Ranbir Kapoor in formal pastel clothing and colourful turbans making him look like the coolest Sardar ever on Indian screen.

Rocket Singh offers Ranbir Kapoor immense range, as the character takes lead over the actor. He is perfectly poised in one of his best performances so far. The character-driven story doesn’t let Ranbir overshadow the supporting cast, each of who gets good scope. D Santosh is hilarious as the hardware service agent and gets the best repartees. Mukesh Bhatt as the office clerk is funny. Navin Kaushik as Nitin, the senior sales manager reminds of Raghu from Roadies for his cheekiness and is brilliant. Manish Chaudhary in a confident-personified act comes across as one of the most efficient negative leads in recent times. The one item-number-old Gauhar Khan surprises with an amazing natural performance and is a talent to look forward to. Shazahn Padamsee is charming but remains almost parallel to the plot and doesn’t get much scope.

A line from the film states, “Risk toh Spiderman ko bhi lena padta hai, main toh phir bhi Salesman hoon” (Even Spiderman has to take risk, I am just a Salesman). The makers have taken as much risk to sell a not-so-regular story to the audiences. And it has paid off pretty well.

Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year is one of the most rocking films of the year.

Shahzahn Padamsee Talks About Her Debute In Rocket Singh Salseman Of The Year

Shahzahn Padamsee : ‘I was in shock’

Shahzahn Padamsee talks about her debut in Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year

Q: Are you dating Ranbir Kapoor?

A: I have no idea where this sprung up from.  

How does it feel debuting in a Yash Raj film opposite Ranbir Kapoor?

It feels very nice and exciting but, at the same time, it isn’t easy. One has to go through various auditions; knock on a hundred doors and hope that at least one of them opens. So it isn’t a cakewalk. But it definitely feels great now, since I’ve finally done a film.

What was your first line of thought when the movie was offered to you?

I was extremely excited but it took time to sink in. I was in shock actually (giggles); it was quite a big thing happening to me. And you’re constantly in doubt since you never know whether or not you will get the job or will be dropped at the last minute. Luckily it didn’t happen to me. I think once I started shooting, I realised that I’m indeed a part of this movie. 

What is your character in the film? Is this your dream role to debut with?

I am not permitted as yet to say anything about the character or the part I’m playing in the film. But definitely this is a dream role to start with.

How nervous or excited were you when you gave your first shot?

I wasn’t very nervous at the shooting as I have done a lot of ads before. The camera wasn’t something new to me. And then of course it helped that everyone is very professional; Ranbir and Shimit Amin were extremely professional. It really helped me as they both are very meticulous people and they would go through each thing a couple of times.

Any preparations before starting the film?

I didn’t exactly prepare for this film but I was getting myself ready to be in the industry. I worked on my Hindi diction and also joined dance classes to improve my dance. I have also done theatre for two years and I guess that’s the best training ever.

Did you recognise Ranbir with his beard? How helpful was he as a co-star?

Honestly that was the only Ranbir I knew. I was more scandalised when I saw him without the beard! That’s the time when I didn’t really recognise him. The Ranbir I knew had a beard and was in a Sardar get-up.  As a co-star he was very helpful and I really admire him for achieving so much at such a young age. And he works really, really hard, which is very inspiring for me as well as everyone else on the sets.

Are you dating Ranbir Kapoor?

I have no idea where this sprung up from; I have never given any quote about this and I don’t want people to drag it up any more.

Did Gauhar Khan and you have a major fight about who is the lead actress?

I don’t know how these things come up. I have just shot for a day with her so I don’t really know her. So there is no question of a cat fight or anything else.

Is it true that you just have very few scenes in the film?

It’s not about the screen time you have, it’s just the impact you make in the film. Meryl Streep had just a couple of scenes in Kramer Vs Kramer and she got an Academy Award for that. People who judge the actors by their screen time in a movie are very narrow minded. It’s about the character you play and how well do you portray it, whether you have three scenes or forty.

Ranbir Kapoor In Mani Ratnam's Next

Ranbir Kapoor In Mani Ratnam's Next Project

The swaggering success of flicks like ‘Wake Up Sid’ and ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ has given Kapoor scion, Ranbir Kapoor, top-notch status in Bollywood. Now, acclaimed director Mani Ratnam wants to cast Ranbir in his next flick. Currently involved with Aishwarya-Abhishek starrer ‘Raavan’, the director is making elaborate plans to make his next film with Ranbir. Mani’s next project is a pro-Muslim film, ‘Azaan.’ And even though he is still busy in the scripting process, he wants to cast the Kapoor boy in the lead role. After the release of ‘Raavan’ in May 2010, he will start working for ‘Azaan, says Mani.

Unlike the films releasing in Bollywood of late, which focuses on either Jihad or Islam, this is a pro-Muslim film, which will portray Muslims in a positive light. The title of the film is the name of the lead character, as he will be born during Azaan. After seeing Ranbir’s progress as an actor, Mani is keen on having him in the lead role in the movie. This could be a breakthrough performance for Ranbir has not played such a role till date, feels the director.
