| Ash King wins Stardust Bollywood Award - Bollywood Spice Posted: 11 Feb 2012 02:11 PM PST
On accepting the award, Ash said: "THANK YOU…WHAT A YEAR! BOLLYWOOD HAS SHOWN ME SO MUCH LOVE. I'm TOUCHED! Here's to more songs, more magic. THANK YOU STARDUST. Thank you to the fans! It has been a great year for my songs, especially 'Te Amo' and 'I Love You', big thanks to Pritam for that. A R Rahman introduced me to the industry and I am ever grateful. It is an honour to be part of this industry." Ash rounded off with an acapella of 'I Love You' and woo'd the all-star crowd, before Kareena Kapoor dazzled the stage with her medley of dance numbers from her latest movie Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu - including Ash King's current Bollywood hit 'Aunty Ji'. The London boy from Southall is rocking Bollywood and is dubbed the one to watch this year. Upon walking the red carpet and leaving the ceremony, King was met with a fan frenzy. Ever the entertainer he sang 'Te Amo' for his fans, in what became a media rush to catch the live impromptu medley of Ash King songs, with award in hand. Ash continues his stay in India this month to record more material, having already sung on no less than 6 major Bollywood soundtracks, including work with Oscar-winning AR Rahman and much loved Bollywood maestro Pritam. His hits have included 'Dil Gira Dafatan' (Dehli 6), 'Te Amo' (Dum Maaro Dum) and 'I Love You' (Bodyguard).  |
| CAA Signs Its First Bollywood Star - Hollywood Reporter Posted: 11 Feb 2012 01:25 PM PST  NEW DELHI — A former Miss World and one of Bollywood's leading actresses, Priyanka Chopra has been signed to CAA. Chopra, 29, is the first mainstream Bollywood star to be signed by the agency, whose Indian talent roster also includes Golden Globe-nominated director Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth). The actress, who starred in the 2012 hit Agneepath, is an aspiring singer as well. She was recently signed to Universal Music Group and Desi Hits! Inc. (an entertainment entity connecting international and Indian artists), where her manager is Troy Carter (also Lady Gaga's manager), CEO of Atom Music. Co-founded by L.A.-based Anjula Acharia-Bath, Desi Hits! played an instrumental role in Chopra's CAA signing. "I have had a long-standing relationship with David Taghioff at CAA because he has been working on India-USA cross-border deals for many years and we have been connected through this for some time," Acharia-Bath tells The Hollywood Reporter. "I approached David and CAA with Priyanka's manager, Troy Carter, and my partner on this, signing [Interscope Records chairman] Jimmy Iovine to assemble an 'A team' that would both understand the enormity of the industry she is coming from and how best to navigate her through the immense opportunities that lie ahead." "This is a great follow-up [after the Universal Music Group/Desi Hits! signing], and there should be some fun stuff coming up. Basically, I am an actor so it did make sense to have representation in terms of movies or entertainment in any way," Chopra tells THR. "Everybody on my team thought that it made sense to be covered on the movie front as well. CAA was excited to come on board so we went with them." After an early modeling career and winning the 2000 Miss World title, Chopra debuted in Bollywood with 2003's The Hero: Love Story of a Spy. The actress followed that in 2004 with her breakout role in suspense drama Aitraaz for which she received the Filmfare best villain award. In 2008, Chopra's turn as a troubled model in Fashion won her the Indian government's National Award for best actress. Last year, she found success with a critically acclaimed performance in 7 Khoon Maaf (Susanna's Seven Husbands), playing a femme fatale, from youth to old age. The project was co-written by Hollywood screenwriter Matthew Robbins (The Sugarland Express). Alhough there are wider international opportunities for Chopra to explore, obvious challenges also remain, as Acharia-Bath explains. "It is no secret that business is handled differently in India and there is often a disconnect given talent in India handles much of their own business and rely less on agents and management to navigate opportunities for them," she says. "This is in stark contrast to how things are handled in the USA. Also, stylistically, Bollywood is a very different form of cinema so finding talent that can cross over is challenging as there are cultural sensibilities that are very different." But Chopra's background could give her a different positioning since "she began her career on an international platform [as Miss World] and moved into Bollywood almost as an outsider but managed to rise to the top," adds Acharia-Bath. "She is unique because as much as she is Indian, she has an incredibly international focus and understands the protocols and approach to the entertainment business globally." The profile of Indian actors gradually is increasing internationally, with talent agencies such as ICM repping Anil Kapoor (Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol) and Brillstein Entertainment Partners repping Irrfan Khan (this summer's The Amazing Spider-Man).  |
| Ramesh Taurani files complaint against Deepika - NDTV Posted: 11 Feb 2012 12:38 PM PST Bollywood producer Ramesh Taurani has filed a complaint against actress Deepika Padukone with cine-associations for quitting Tips Films' Race 2 at the eleventh hour. Deepika is said to have made an exit from the project following a Hollywood offer, and that too after having shot for a week. The decision didn't go down too well with Taurani, who filed a complaint with the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) and Association of Motion Pictures & TV Programme Producer of India (AMPTPP). Deepika has been informed by CINTAA about the complaint. As per procedural norms, if an artist fails to respond to a complaint or grievance, the case then passes on to the FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees).If still not addressed, the artist is then liable to face a Non-Cooperation Directive. Explains senior producer Pahlaj Nihalani: "If Taurani has filed a complaint against Deepika, she will have to honour the dates which she had allotted to him. If she has given the same dates to any other producer, she cannot shoot for the other project." An upset Taurani had said that he has been a part of the Hindi cinema industry for 25 years, but never faced such a situation before. "Our directors and the other actors are extremely annoyed with her. Tips as a company in its last 25 years has never had a dispute with anyone in this industry, there is no single case in the association which involves us," he said. Produced by Tips, the action thriller Race 2 is scheduled for a November release.  |
