The 2023 Oscars are right around the corner. Before that, the nominations are an important milestone. The nominations for the 2023 Oscars are out and three of India’s projects were nominated. ‘Naatu Naatu’ from RRR for Best Original Song, The Elephant Whisperers for Best Documentary Short Film and Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes for Best Documentary Feature Film.

Oscars 2023: Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes scores a nomination for India in Documentary Feature Film category

All That Breathes follows the story of two brothers Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad. In one of the world’s most populated cities, two brothers — Nadeem and Saud — devote their lives to the quixotic effort of protecting the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to the ecosystem of New Delhi that has been falling from the sky at alarming rates. Amid environmental toxicity and social unrest, the ‘kite brothers’ spend day and night caring for the creatures in their makeshift avian basement hospital.

Director Shaunak Sen explores the connection between the kites and the Muslim brothers who help them return to the skies, offering a mesmerizing chronicle of inter-species coexistence.

On the nomination day, many team members met each other in New Delhi to watch the Oscars 2023 nominations while others including Shaunak Sen who is currently in Los Angeles joined via zoom call. Producer Aman Mann told News18, “It is very hard to describe what we all felt at the moment the nominations came through, the entire journey that film has had is extremely dream-like and we are just happy, relieved and grateful for how well the film has been accepted and appreciated. On behalf of the entire team, I can clearly say that it feels good to think that hopefully, this means that we were able to do justice to the story of our characters.”

The 95th Oscars ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will take place on March 12.

Kamlesh Sawant recently rocked the show as Gaitonde in Drishyam 2 (2022). However, many might not be aware that he began his career in Bollywood with Khakee (2004). As Constable Kamlesh Sawant, he made his presence felt and in the pre-climax, he moved viewers with his death scene.

19 Years of Khakee EXCLUSIVE: Kamlesh Sawant narrates the HILARIOUS incident of how Akshay Kumar pulled Tusshar Kapoor’s leg on the sets: “Akshay ji convinced Tusshar that ‘a newborn baby should be fed lassi, and not mother’s milk’ is mentioned on a poster in the hospital scene”

As Khakee completed 19 years on January 23, Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Kamlesh Sawant about his experience and a lot more.

How did you bag Khakee?
My guru is Vijay Khanwilkar. In 1996, DD Sahyadri had passed our serial called Shraddha. This was a time when I assisted and also faced the camera for the first time. I played a villain. Then, I did a few more Marathi serials. We had a theatre group called Addict Mumbai. Its members today are prominent actors and directors. An actor, Sushant Shelar, was a part of it. He’s our senior and I had worked with him. We became friends. Sushant was at that time assisting director Mukul Abhyankar on a TV serial named ‘Gubbare’. One day, Sushant called me and asked me if I’d be interested to do a role of railway police. He informed me that I just have two dialogues. I told him, ‘Ghar pe hi baitha hoon. Tu bolta hai toh aa jaata hoon main’! I did the rehearsals. I remember I shared the screen with Dilip Prabhawalkar ji and Deven Verma ji. I did the scene and Mukul was happy with my shot. Sushant told me to talk to Mukul Abhyankar and tell him that he should offer me a longer role next time. I told him ‘Apne khoon mein aise maangne ki aadat hai hi nahin’ (laughs)!

However, Mukul Abhyankar came forward and said that I have told Sushant several times not to call Marathi theatre artists for such small roles. He then told me, ‘Aapne accha kaam kiya. Agli baar aapko bada role karna padega’. He cast me in ‘Thriller At 10’, in which I played the sub-inspector. I also worked with him in the horror serial ‘Achanak 37 Saal Baad’. Even in this TV show, I played a cop. Shridhar Raghavan had written the show and he liked my work. He also wrote Khakee. He called me one day to Rajkumar Santoshi’s office. He said that he has written a role keeping me in mind. I met Raj ji and he gave me the narration. Woh bahut accha narrate karte hai. Mujhe aisa laga ki main hi hero hoon! I got selected for the part and this is how Khakee became my debut Hindi film. It was my good luck that my first 3 Hindi films all starred Amitabh Bachchan – Khakee, Deewaar – Lets Bring Our Heroes Home (2004) and Family - Ties Of Blood (2006). It was a fun experience. Raj ji and his whole team were quite warm and hard-working.

19 Years of Khakee EXCLUSIVE: Kamlesh Sawant narrates the HILARIOUS incident of how Akshay Kumar pulled Tusshar Kapoor’s leg on the sets: “Akshay ji convinced Tusshar that ‘a newborn baby should be fed lassi, and not mother’s milk’ is mentioned on a poster in the hospital scene”

Could you tell us about the experience in detail?
After my meeting with Raj ji, I met the associate director and I made it clear to them that I don’t know how to ride a two-wheeler, four-wheeler or a horse and neither do I know swimming. He confirmed with Shridhar Raghavan, who assured him that I don’t have any scene where I have to drive. But during the shoot, I was told that I need to ride a van! Action director Tinnu Verma was in full form. He installed a jimmy jib and crane. He excitedly came to me and said, ‘Kamlesh, chalo yeh scene karte hai. Tujhe gaadi chalani hai’. I told him that I do not know driving. He was shocked and said, ‘Kya baat kar raha haiMarwaayega tu mujhe’! He got so stumped. Then he put a gypsy in front of the van. The gypsy pulled the van forward and I simply pretended to drive (laughs)!

Your death scene on the railway track is very memorable. How was it shot?
We shot it at Apta railway station. One express mail passes from there in the morning and one in the evening. As per the scene, I get shot by Ajay Devgn and I fall down on the track. Just before we shot the scene, an express train passed from the station. We had taken our train on the track next to it to let it pass. Ab mail jaane ke baad aapko pata hai track pe kya kya gir jaata hai. So during the take, I fell down and just next to my nose, there was poop. I was lucky I didn’t fall on it. I was hoping that Raj ji says ‘Cut’ soon as I was not able to bear the stench!

Just a day before this shot, I had malaria and was hospitalized. I had a 104-degree fever. I still went for the shoot as the producer had paid Rs. 2 lakhs for the train. He should not suffer a loss because of me.

19 Years of Khakee EXCLUSIVE: Kamlesh Sawant narrates the HILARIOUS incident of how Akshay Kumar pulled Tusshar Kapoor’s leg on the sets: “Akshay ji convinced Tusshar that ‘a newborn baby should be fed lassi, and not mother’s milk’ is mentioned on a poster in the hospital scene”

How was it working with Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar? Both are known to be punctual…
Oh yes. With Amitabh sir, if the call time is at 7:00 am, he’d come at 6:30 am and he’d be ready at 7 am sharp with his make-up and costumes. I remember during Deewaar – Lets Bring Our Heroes Home, the production team went into a tizzy because his vanity van had not arrived. The van operator was late and on the other hand, Amitabh sir arrived at the location. The production members used to comment, ‘Yeh aadmi itna punctual kaise hai. Thoda 5-10 minute toh late ho jaaye kabhi toh’!

Even Akshay ji comes on time. With him, I have worked in 2 films – Khakee and Family - Ties Of Blood. He would get a ball with him and whenever there was a break, he would start playing. He would always be making fun and cracking jokes. There was D Santosh in our film. Once Akshay called me and told me, ‘Kamlesh, tune aadmi mein kala colour dekha hai, gora colour dekha hai. Tune baingan colour dekha hai?’ I was amused and said ‘Nahin’. He took me to D Santosh and said, ‘Toh isko dekh’!

He also pulled Tusshar’s leg. We were shooting a scene of the hospital. In the film, it was shown as a government hospital and hence, posters in Marathi were put up. One poster read that ‘a newborn baby should only be fed mother’s milk’. It was written in Marathi. Tusshar doesn’t know the language. He looked at the poster and was struggling to read it. Tusshar asked Akshay Kumar ji what was written on the poster. Akshay said the poster mentions that ‘a newborn baby should be fed lassi, and not mother’s milk’. Tusshar felt Akshay is joking. I happened to pass by. I had heard the whole conversation but Tusshar didn’t know about it. He asked me to read. I said that the poster mentions that ‘a newborn should be fed lassi, and not mother’s milk, and that too from Kailash Lassi at Dadar East’! Believe it or not, Tusshar thought Akshay ji and I are telling the truth. He’s very simple. Seedha aadmi hai woh.

Akshay Kumar ji, Tusshar, Atul Kulkarni sir and I used to play memory games on the sets. Like we’d be told to list the names of fruits and so on. I used to be the first one to lose followed by Atul Kulkarni ji. But Akshay and Tusshar would go on till 30-40 rounds. Once, Akshay lost while Tusshar, I remember, lost when both were listing the names of countries. I used to make it only till 10-12 rounds.

Do you have any memories of working with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan?
We didn’t have many scenes together. There was just one scene where she was supposed to sit in the police van. It was her close shot. I was sitting inside as well. I told her, ‘Madam, thoda sambhal ke baithiye’. She said, ‘Aadhi film mein yeh van haiYeh kaisi van mili hai. Aap bhi sambhal ke baithiye’. I told her, ’15 din se mein iss van mein shoot kar raha hoon. Iss gaadi ke purze-purze se main vaakif hoon’. In reply, she said something in English. And I don’t understand the language. I understood that I need to leave. Kyunki unka angrezi thoda alag hai, accent ke saath! So, I said ‘Excuse me’ to her. ‘Excuse me’ is one of the few English terms I know. I stepped out of the van and asked the associate director if my shot is there. I was told that I am not required to. I didn’t go back to the van again (laughs)!

It seems as if Bollywood is finally growing up. From romancing 21-year olds to mentoring them, Bollywood A-listers finally seem to be imbuing their age with dignity. And Akshay Kumar seems to lead the bright pack. After the underproduction, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in which Akshay does not have a romantic lead, one has now come to know that he has no leading lady in the C Sankaran Nair bio-pic either.

Kartik Aaryan is known to be a fan of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. As Kartik gears up for Shehzada, the actor reached the sets of Rajat Sharma’s show Aap Ki Adalat where Kartik Aaryan talked about coming to Mumbai for the first time and visiting the superstars’ houses.

Kartik Aaryan recalls visiting Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat and Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments for the first time: ‘I almost ran from there escaping the lathi charge’

On the new episode of Aap Ki Adalat, Rajat Sharma asked him about his early days and how he would click selfies outside Shah Rukh Khan’s residence Mannat. Kartik replied, “It was actually my first day when I came to Mumbai. It was a Sunday. I have always been a fan of Shah Rukh sir. I get inspired by his story that he created his own niche and received love from the audience. So I reached Bandstand the first day thinking I'll see him wave. What happened actually was when he left, he was in his car. While leaving, he waved looking at everyone. Mujhe actually laga ki unhone mujhe dekha (I thought he looked at me).”

“Toh bas main pura time khush tha ki, ‘Shah Rukh sir ne mujhe dekh liya. Toh mera din ban gaya, mera Mumbai aana safal hogaya uss time’ (So I was happy the entire time thinking, 'Shah Rukh sir saw me. My day has been made, coming to Mumbai was worth it)'. I went a little ahead and there was Galaxy Apartments. I stood outside Salman Khan sir's house too. But it was different there since a massive crowd gathered leading to a lathi charge. Toh main almost bhaga waha se lathiyo se bachta hua (I almost ran from there escaping the sticks). Both incidents took place on the same day. It was a weird but memorable day for me," Kartik continued.

Nothing compares to a stunning white saree! A stunning white ensemble is a head-turner and actress Janhvi Kapoor is unquestionable evidence that we need a white saree to make the proper fashion choices. The actress has always been a fashionista, whether it's through her comprehensive holiday wardrobe choices or her go-to everyday looks. This time around, she's lighting up the internet in a dazzling white saree. The celebrity did the same last evening after sharing images from a recent shoot in which she appeared nothing less than an apsara.

The image on the post has Janhvi striking sexy stances for the camera while standing in water while wearing the conventional white and gold saree. The saree worn by Janhvi Kapoor is white and has wide gold borders. The actress wore the six yards as is customary, letting the pleated drape fall over her shoulders to show off her sexy figure. The outfit was finished by a similar white-gold blouse with a fitted bust, puffed half-length sleeves, short midriff-baring hem, and a plunging V neckline emphasising her décolletage.

Janhvi glammed up the seductive photo shoot by choosing makeup that made a statement, such as dramatic kohl-lined eyes, subtle eye shadow, thick mascara on the lashes, darker brows, a neutral lip colour, reddened cheeks, a light foundation, and softly contoured face. Finally, Janhvi decided on a beaded necklace, delicate earrings, and centre-parted open wavy hair to complete the look.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Janhvi is currently busy prepping for Mr and Mrs Mahi. She will be seen with Rajkummar Rao. She also has Bawaal with Varun Dhawan. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film is slated to hit theatres in April this year.

Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol were a formidable director-actor pair in the 1990s with films like Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak gaining the status of iconic films. Following this, the two did try coming together again but things never fell in place. But now, after around 27 years, the two have joined hands for a film titled Lahore: 1947.

Santoshi shared the news during a conversation with PinkVilla. He also revealed that the film will go on floors soon and it will be “bigger” than his earlier films with Sunny. “Yes, my immediate next film is called Lahore: 1947. It’s set against the backdrop of partition with Sunny Deol in lead. Sunny and I were trying to make a film for a long time but nothing worked out. But now, I am confident that this film will be bigger than Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak,” said the filmmaker.

Sharing more details about the shoot, Santoshi added, “If everything goes as planned, we will take the film on floors from March 1 in Mumbai. We will be creating Lahore city in a studio. The set is a part of the story and a large chunk of film will be shot on this set. It’s a very ambitious film. This is my dream. I have been planning to make it for the last 10 years and things have finally fallen into place. I plan to wrap up Lahore: 1947 by May and then proceed to its post-production.”

Years ago, it was believed that there was a rift between Santoshi and Sunny, which reportedly escalated further when both of them released a film each on the revolutionary Bhagat Singh on the same day in 2002 titled The Legend Of Bhagat Singh and 23rd March 1931: Shaheed respectively.

Lahore: 1947 will be Sunny's second movie on partition after the all-time blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001). Interestingly, the sequel to the film, titled Gadar 2, is currently in the making.
