Bollywood Wish List For 2010

Bollywood Wish List For 2010
What celebs look forward to in 2010

Quite a few interesting films are lined up for release early 2010. Be it director Sajid Khan, Sirish Kunder or Ken Ghosh, they are all looking forward to their creations in the New year. While 'My Name Is Khan' and 'Kites' are the hottest contenders when it comes to the most awaited films, there are quite a few others like 'Rann' and 'Teen Patti' that may be exciting.

Producer-writer Shirish Kunder has another choice. 'In 2010, I am waiting most for 'Tees Maar Khan'. With Farah Khan at the helm of affairs and Akshay Kumar leading the case, it's going to be the peak of commercial cinema,' he told IANS. The film also stars Akshaye Khanna, hence bringing the two namesake actors together for the first time.

It may not be on the wish list of many but 'Run Bhola Run' is what excites Tusshar Kapoor most. 'For obvious reasons I am waiting for this film the most,' said the actor who will be seen with Govinda again after 'Life Partner'.

Minissha Lamba is waiting for her 'Well Done Abba'. This Shyam Benegal-directed film has been making waves in the festival circuits and is now being lined up for theatrical release. 'I am looking forward to 'Well Done Abba'. However, there are also films like 'Raavan', 'Veer', 'My Name Is Khan', 'Kites' and 'Dostana 2' on my wish list,' she said.

Ken Ghosh had a hit 'Ishq Vishk' and a miss 'Fida' with Shahid Kapoor over the years gone by. However, he is confident of 'Chance Pe Dance' hitting the bull's eye. 'Other than my own film, I am also waiting for 'Kites'', he says.

Newbie Urvashi Sharma, who began as a leading lady with 'Naqaab' and played a small role in 'Baabarr', is excited about turning over a new page in her professional career in 2010. 'I am really looking forward to two of my own films - 'Khatta Meetha' and 'Nishaad' - both with Priyadarshan. Apart from these two films, I also want to see Ambika Hinduja's 'Teen Patti' which has Mr. (Amitabh) Bachchan in it.'

Rituparna Sengupta, who was seen in 'Do Knot Disturb', has a lot to look forward to in 2010. 'For me, the most awaited films in the New Year are my own like 'Mittal vs Mittal', 'S.R.K', 'Paroksh' and 'Bum Bum Boley'.'

For filmmaker Jagmohan Mundhra, who is working on multiple films, it is 'Apartment' all the way. 'The film is ready and it should release very soon,' he said. Though she has a pivotal role in 'Apartment', it's 'Rann' that excites Neetu Chandra the most. 'It is going to be my first release of 2010 and I am counting days for the January 29 release of the film.'

Sajid Khan, who will release his 'Housefull' in May, said: 'It's obvious that 'Housefull' would be my as well as audiences' choice of 2010.' For Kareena Kapoor, the choice is obvious - 'Ra 1'. Though she is not saying it yet, the buzz is that she has more or less signed on the dotted line for this Shah Rukh Khan starrer sci-fi super hero film which is being directed by Anubhav Sinha of 'Dus' fame.

Bollywood remembers 26/11 Part 2

B-Town folk on where they were last year on this date, and what they will do today

Bipasha Basu

I was shooting for Aa Dekhen Zara at Goregaon on 26/11. While I was on the way back I saw the Vile Parle blast and was stranded in the crazy chaos. We somehow drove through the melee to reach home that night. This year, on 26/11, I'd be rehearsing for a show. I want terrorism to be wiped off the face of the earth. Is that asking for too much?

Hema Malini

I was in Mumbai. Some-one told me to watch television. I couldn't believe what I saw. November 26 used to be associated with so many wonderful things. It is a meat-less day and a friend's wedding anniversary. Now the joy of that day is gone forever. Now 26/11 is a day of terror forever. I'll be in Turkey shooting this year. I will remember the day with a heavy heart. My love to all those who lost dear ones on that day.

Neil Nitin Mukesh

I remember I was shooting in at Film City on 26/11 last year. I wish we could change that day in Mumbai. I wish people who lost their loved ones would get back their happiness. This 26/11 I'll pray for the soul of the dead and hope that their families' wounds would heal.

Tusshar Kapoor

I was in Cape Town shooting when 26/11 happened. Ideally I'd never want such a horror to revisit Mumbai. But life is not about ideal situations.

Imtiaz Ali

I remember I came home from a late-night film. I got messages to switch on the TV. What I was watching, horrified me for the next 70 hours. When we relive that horror this year we have to be sensitive and not remind the families of 26/11 victims just to create media content. On the other hand, this year, media should ascertain from the authorities and tell the common man what he must do if a similar situation were to arise again.

Farhan Akhtar

It was my first episode of Oye! It's Friday and I had just finished shooting it with Hrithik. When we came out, it was all over TV and we had heard about Cafe Leopold. We were asked to rush home immediately as chaos was expected on the roads. For a few days, we remained glued to our TV sets as we couldn't venture out for safety reasons.

Arshad Warsi

I was shooting in Wai. I drove into Mumbai and out on 26/11 last year. I'm going to a charity dinner hosted by Prince Michael in memory of people who lost their lives on 26/11.

Neha Dhupia

On 26/11 last year, I was at a movie premiere. Everyone started to leave. That was very unusual. Little did we know what was happening outside. Wish it had never happened."

Rahul Khanna

Last year on 26/11, I was travelling out of the country and was glued to the live TV coverage feeling helpless watching home hometown under attack. I hope all the brave innocent souls we lost are at peace and in a better place.

Abbas Tyrewala

I was in Chennai working on my music on this day last year. There was a cyclone that day, almost as if the elements were reflecting the darkness and turmoil in Mumbai. This 26th I am tempted to be at the Taj for dinner. But maybe that's just being stubbornly sentimental. Maybe I'll just say a prayer for those who were murdered by pathetic, desperate imbeciles, misled by enemies of God and humanity.

Pooja Bedi

I was at home on 26/11 watching the horror unfold on TV. This  year I'm hosting a 26/11 memorial function by the DVK Foundation in London at the Kensington Palace. It is to support victims of terror attacks and to provide financial assistance to families.
