Alankrita - The third angle in Gul & Purab love triangle?

All through the making of Turning 30!!! , one suspected that there was something special brewing between Gul Panag and Purab Kohli. The speculation reached its peak when the story started making rounds about how a passionate kiss between the duo just went on endlessly even as director Alankrita called 'cut'. Well seems Alankrita's call for 'cut' wasn't restricted to the antics in front of camera but also off it with reasons that were more personal rather than professional. Says a source from the unit of this Prakash Jha production, "While Gul is being labelled as a home breaker here, the fact is that she has nothing to do with the trouble that Purab and his wife Yamini are facing in their marital life. On the other hand, there are all the indications that it is Alankrita and Purab who actually have eyes only for each other." Now this piece of news comes as a shocker because young Alankrita never came across as a woman who could poss

"Destiny and hard work has landed me in my first film with Aamir Khan" - Monica Dogra

Monica Dogra comes across as one of those women who I usually bumped into London's Tube station while I used to travel to work. She is confident, street smart, versatile, quite mature and yet sensitive… I missed self-confident and a bit funny. And believe me; such a mix is usually rare to find. But Dogra is much more than all this. A singer and composer by profession, Monica has yet another feather in her cap - actor. People who've seen her performance in  Dhobi Ghat  at the London Film Festival went out of control. All in a good way though. With her dark hair, exotic looks and a touch of unconventionality, Monica has nailed it. And even though she is still excited to let everyone know about her front cover on the Time Out Mumbai, because of which she got the role in  Dhobi Ghat , she doesn't have a clue how her mobile will be buzzing in days to come after her debut film releases.  Dhobi Ghat  doesn't just bring Monica Dogra into limelight; it's also the biggest cha

"I owe Pakhi an apology" - Abbas Tyrewala

2010 was a year of much learning and sobering for writer-turned-director Abbas Tyrewala. After the debacle of Jhootha Hi Sahi , he has decided to never, yes NEVER, make a romantic film again. Says the disenchanted director, "Everyone has romance within himself. So do I. But everyone has a sense of humour too. It doesn't mean you should make a comedy. After Jhootha Hi Sahi , I never want to return to the rom-com. It's just not my scene." Abbas' next will be a dark noire thriller occupying a more cerebral head-space and using actors from a different generation. "I'm writing a dark espionage thriller which would take me as far away from the romantic genre as creatively possible. The rom-com limits your choice of actors. I want to do a film with Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Shah, Paresh Rawal…those wonderful actors bring in their own wisdom, maturity and wit with them. I don't want to be doing films that restrict me to the youth market."
