Ayesha Takia jittery on a catapult

July 23rd, 2008

Ayesha Takia was nervous as hell while shooting a scene for her movie De Taali .

The cute and yummy-yummy actress was a bundle of nerves when E Niwas, the director of the film, told her to sit in a catapult with co-stars Ritesh Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani while shooting in Auckland, New Zealand.

The catapult was set to elevate to dizzy heights and then come down at great speed.

Since Ayesha is afraid of heights, she refused to do the scene. However, Ritesh and Aftab – the pranksters that they are – tricked Ayesha into sitting on the coaster after assuring her that the shot won’t be taken. But after Ayesha strapped herself in the seat, the catapult began and the camera rolled.

When John Abraham behaved like an adolescent!

July 21st, 2008

John Abraham shot a very unusual and unique scene for Anurag Kashyap’s movie No Smoking .

The movie has John playing a chain smoker trying to kick the habit. There is a flashback scene in the film in which both John and his friend Ranvir Shorey are shown smoking their first cigarettes as adolescents.

While any other filmmaker would have used child artistes or visual effects to shoot the scene, Anurag Kashyap , known for his experimental streak, decided to shoot the scene on John and Ranvir only.

Instead of making the scene realistic, Kashyap apparently wanted it to give a farcical look.

Ayesha Takia: No Taali!

July 20th, 2008

Ayesha Takia is getting better with each new film. In ‘De Taali’, she just happens to be in the wrong company. The flick is no scale to measure her talent and maturity as an actress.

De Taali

It starts off quite well and the bonding between the three friends viz. Paglu [Riteish], Amu [Ayesha] and Abhi [Aftab] is well established in the initial portions. Things perk up the moment Rimi Sen’s character enters the scene and shows her true colors. Everything’s fine till she’s kidnapped — the interval point. Things only go downhill in the second hour. The entire kidnap drama, special mention to the Saurabh Shukla track [it can’t get weirder than this], is so ludicrous that by the time it reaches the finale, the viewer loses all interest in the enterprise.
