The night of celebrations seems to continue for the team of ISHQIYA. The film remains in the limelight in yet another award function. The 58th National Awards announced yesterday, presented ISHQIYA awards in the following four categories:
Best Singer (female) - Rekha Bharadwaj
Best Music Director - Vishal Bharadwaj (for song Badi dheere jali.)
Best Location Sound Recordist (for Sync Sound Films Only)- Kaamod Kharade
Best Re-Recordist of the Final Mixed Tracks - Debajit Changmai

Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn being seen in diapers for RASCALS may have raised a chuckle or two. However in the film they are much more than playing grown up kids. If sources are to be believed, when the film was being written the mandate was to create scenes that bring back the memories of Amitabh Bachchan-Vinod Khanna combination.

"When it came to the pairing of these superstars, it was like bringing together fire and ice", says a source attached to the film, "Sanjay Dutt is known for his action hero image and Ajay Devgn has now excelled in being goofy and loveable. David Dhawan, the film's director, wanted to present Sanju baba and Ajay in a similar manner as Manmohan Desai did with Big B and Vinod Khanna."

Mumbai, April 26 (IANS) Music composer Anu Malik alleges that Pritam Chakraborty has lifted the entire tune of his 'Mohabaat naam hai kiska' from 'Ajnabee' and used it in the song 'Character dhila hai'.

The song features in director Anees Bazmee forthcoming movie 'Ready' and is picturised on Salman Khan and Zarine Khan.

New Delhi, April 27 (IANS) It may have surprised some that a superstitious person like Ekta Kapoor chose to release her next production 'Ragini MMS' on a day that happens to be Friday the 13th! But she has her remedy ready.

'I wanted to release 'Ragini MMS' on May 12 and I first took that date from the astrologer. But when I checked the day, I saw it was a Thursday. And Friday was Friday the 13th! So ... to get over my superstition, I am releasing the film in one theatre on the 12th for luck,' Kapoor told IANS.

While RA.ONE is in its first leg of promotion, in parallel there is extensive work being done on the film's post production. This means that director Anubhav Sinha is neck deep into supervising finer details for the film which are being added shot-by-shot at various studios all across the globe. Meanwhile VFX department of Red Chillies (Shahrukh Khan's production house) is driving the entire show to ensure a view in totality.

"Red Chillies VFX team is the best in our country. Period", exclaims Anubhav whose earlier films like DUS and CASH have boasted of heavy duty VFX as well, "Jeff Kleiser is the best VFX supervisor that I could have got while people like Harry Hingorani and Ketan Yadav from Red Chillies are just superb. I could be convinced by a particular shot in the film but they find it difficult to convince themselves. Since they are at the helm of making the biggest Indian film ever, they know that the stakes are high, reputations are at stake and hence they are in no mood to compromise."
