Star system has helped Bollywood flourish: Zoya Akhtar

Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar strongly believes in Bollywood’s star system and feels it has helped the industry build an identity within the map of global cinema.

“Star system is very important. In case you see worldwide, India, Hollywood and China — a lot of these three (film) industries have a celeb system. Remainder of( the film) industries like Europe and other countries don’t have stars and their (film) industries are dying,” Zoya told IANS in an interview.

Having directed film stars Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol and her younger brother Farhan Akhtar, Zoya said India has survived Hollywood because “we now have our language; we have our own style, so our audience would wish to peer a Shah Rukh Khan and never Tom Cruise”.

“Our star system has made our industry grow. So I definitely have numerous respect for that and that i understand that,” the 40-year-old said.

Then, who consistent with her is a movie star?

“They are called stars because it doesn't matter what the film is, they get a gap. Stars pull people. But having said that, stars need to cater to their audience by doing what has worked before. So that you can’t make too many films with them because they (stars) don’t wish to experiment. They would like that safety and that's the problem,” said Zoya.

“In this case, Aamir Khan is somewhat different,” she said, on her experience of working with him in “Talaash”, which released Nov 30.

Zoya co-wrote the film with director Reema Kagti, experimenting for the primary time with the suspense genre.

“My challenges were to maintain the tale engaging, give depth to the characters and in addition do something about their emotional chord. Our audience relate to emotional quotient. So, if you happen to don’t connect them emotionally, they won't watch (a film),” she said.

Zoya, the daughter of poet-lyricist Javed Akhtar and script writer Honey Irani, has written and directed “Luck By Chance” (2009) and “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” (2011).

Sajid Nadiadwala to shoot both Kick and Housefull 3 in London

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson met up with a couple of leading filmmakers of Bollywood including Sajid Naidadwala in Mumbai earlier this week to invite them to shoot more films within the UK. Sajid was very happy to just accept the London Mayor's invitation to shoot in London and has decided that 2 of his forthcoming biggies namely Kick and Housefull 3 could be shot in London.

The Mayor of London was ecstatic when Sajid agreed whole-heartedly. "I loved the truth that Sajid Nadiadwala shot two editions of his film Housefull in UK and is coming back to London to shoot the third film within the franchise. I'M also excited that he plans to shoot his maiden directorial venture Kick besides in London."

Excited about again shooting in London, Sajid Nadiadwala said, "I REALLY LIKE to shoot in London and the truth that I'M back to shoot my third and fourth film there's proof that where is superb and i've no complaints. I just wish that they reduce the pound rate compared to the rupee"

Kick and Housefull 3 can be shot at the cheap of around 35 million pounds within the UK that's over Rs 300 crores in Indian rupees. Sajid, who might be shooting his maiden directorial venture Kick starring Salman Khan in London, is developing the script in that manner along with his team of writers led by Chetan Bhagat. The filmmaker wants a far swankier search for the film and opted for the larger and plusher locales of London.
