It’s been five years since your debut, Shabd. I knew producer Ambika Hinduja a little before Shabd released. I wanted her to wait and watch the kind of work I did, before making professional associations. Luckily, neither of us is in a hurry to make films. We’d rather invest time and bring a fabulous product to the table. We were working on another script, but we weren’t too pleased with the outcome. Then, Teen Patti came up and we started working on it.What do you feel Shabd lacked? I don’t think the film failed. The collections weren’t appetising, but I ...

Finding locations that could resemble gambling dens, bombarding them with dirt and grime, painting gruesome graffiti...'Teen Patti' production designer Ayesha Punvani says creating setups for the film was a crazy experience.'It was the craziest idea to create gambling dens in 'Teen Patti' since the gambling addas (dens) that exist in real are very hard to approach, gambling being illegal in India. You will never be allowed to just walk in casually. You will have to go through some contact and with all of us being women, it was tougher,' Punvani told Ians in an interview.Punvani, with her team, created gambling dens in places like abandoned train yards, dockyards, abandoned factories, mills that have been shut down and an ice factory, since 'all these locations give an amazing backdrop'.Directed by Leena Yadav, 'Teen Patti', slated to release Feb 26, revolves around a mathematician,...

After winning accolades in Paa, Amitabh Bachchan will now be seen in two diverse films [Rann, Teen Patti], enacting equally diverse roles. While Bachchan enacts the role of a media moghul whose word is considered gospel truth in Rann, he enacts an equally challenging role in Teen Patti. It's a known fact that Sir Ben Kingsley also plays a crucial part in Teen Patti, but there are murmurs that Hollywood heavyweights such as Pierce Brosnan and Richard Gere also appear in cameos. "That's completely true. There's no reason why we would keep them under wraps if they were part of Teen Patti. But the fact is, they aren't," Teen Patti producer Ambika Hinduja tells me. Another news doing the rounds is that the film has gone over-budget, from Rs. 12 cr. to Rs. 20 cr. "Not true again. I'd like to clarify that the budget of the film was never Rs. 12 crores. Also, the film...

Picture this... 3 Idiots on 25th December. Kites on 15th January. Veer on 29th January. My Name Is Khan on 12th February. Four biggies, starring Aamir, Hrithik, Salman and Srk, respectively, will arrive within a span of two months. The question is, will low cost and medium-budget films get the right exposure at cineplexes? Or will they get sidelined due to these colossal ventures? Incidentally, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Karthik Calling Karthik was confirmed for 12th February, provided My Name Is Khan doesn't arrive on that date. "When Karan [Johar] confirmed that My Name Is Khan is indeed arriving on 12th February, I immediately took a call to shift Karthik Calling Karthik to a latter date. My film will now arrive on 26th February," Ritesh informs me. However, one more biggie is slated for 12th February release - Ambika Hinduja's Teen Patti. Will it stick to that date or arrive later,...
