Akshay Kumar, Nargis in Shaukeen remake

LINK

Shaukeen, the 1980 Basu Chatterjee comic film about three old men lusting after a girl next-door, is all set to be remade by Rumi Jaffery. Interestingly, Akshay Kumar has been roped in to play the character of Mithun Chakraborty. While the female lead originally played by Rati Agnihotri will be essayed by Nargis Fakhri.

Though in the original, Mithun’s part was a small role, the remake will apparently change the part to fit in Akshay. Further reports suggest that Akshay has not charged his usual fee for this film as it is not a full length role, but he will have a stake in the film.

Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan will be seen in a film adaption of William Shakespear’s “Hamlet”. The upcoming film will be by Tigmanshu Dhulia who has credits like “Paan Singh Tomar” and “Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns” to his credit.

Hrithik has reportedly met director Dhulia a couple of times to discuss about the Shakespearean classic. “Tigmanshu Dhulia and Hrithik have been holding meetings for a while now. Hrithik has loved the way Tigmanshu adapted Shakespeare’s Hamlet to fit into rural India. The filmmaker specialises in having the hinterlands as the backdrop for his films,” Mid-Day reported a source as saying.

Ray Harryhausen passes away..

LINK



Ray Harryhausen, the animator and special-effects wizard who found ways to breathe cinematic life into the gargantuan, the mythical and the extinct, died on Tuesday in London. He was and lived in London.

His family announced his death.

Often working alone or with a small crew, Mr. Harryhausen created and photographed many of the most memorable fantasy-adventure sequences in movie history: the atomically awakened dinosaur that lays waste to Coney Island in “The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms”; the sword fight between Greek heroes and skeleton warriors in “Jason and the Argonauts”; the swooping pterodactyl that carries off Raquel Welch in “One Million Years B.C.”

It was meant to be a grand reunion of the Rowdy Rathore club. Akshay Kumar, producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his partner Shabina Khan, and director Prabhu Dheva for the Hindi remake of the 2002 Tamil blockbuster Ramana.

Sadly Prabhudheva had to opt out due to prior commitment leaving the Rowdy team with no choice but to get another director.
