Farah’s Three’s Company

The logo of Three’s Company, Shrish Kunder and Bollywood ace filmmaker Farah Khan’s banner, has three little angels in outline. They are actually Farah Khan’s kids — Czar, Diva and Anya — and the images have been taken from the sonography footage Shrish Kunder shot when his wife was pregnant with the triplets.


Farah’s hubby stated that, there’s a frame in which they are close to each other. The first few seconds of the logo will show the trio before their birth in the film’s credits. Her husband animated the images and gave them wings because they both believe that their babies are angels who have changed their lives totally. Shrish have shown it to the kids too and they’re jealous of these other babies who they think he have adopted. Incidentally, the banner was earlier called Shrish Kunder Film Company. But in 2008, when the three babies entered Shrish’s life, the name was changed to “Three’s Company”.

It flags off on December 25 with it’s first production, ‘Tees Maar Khan’, that already has high expectations.. Anyhow, the Tees Maar Khan sequel will flag off in January 2012. Before that Shrish Kunder will direct two movies, Joker with Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, and Kick with Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha again. Both flicks have already generated enough excitement.

Farah Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Cold War Ends

Director Farah Khan and Sanjy Leela Bhansali who had turned from friends to foes have took a U turn and become friends again.The cold war between the two started when Om Shanti Om which was Farah's project and Saawariya which was Sanjay's film were released at the same time and though Saawariya flopped and Om Shanti Om was a hit at the Box Office,Sanjay had no qualms about it.Then what sparked the fire?

Apparently Farah had used some harsh words for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's mother.This got him mad and the both stopped talking to each other.

Its been almost two years now and the the tension between the two has smoothed out.Farah made efforts to sort all the mess out by making Sanjay favourite dish Biryani and sending the same to his placeon his 46th birthday.Sanjay who was clouded with tensions because the magician he had hired for Guzaarish to train Hrithik Roshan was facing Visa problems,breathed a sigh of relief when he found the Biryani delivered to him and saw that all the matters troubling him were sorted out.

Bhansali will now visit Farah and her triplets soon.

I miss Shahrukh: Farah Khan

Have you ever watched a movie and said," OMG thats my life !" Well...You are not the only one.Farah Khan who is a film maker herself has her life penned down in a script long before anything had actually happened to her..Confused??


Farah Khan had signed a movie titled "Jane Kahan Se Aayi Hai" long time ago and it turns out that the story of the movie replicates the incident when Farah signed Akshay for Tees Maar Khan since Shahrukh was not available at the time.She was quite sure that she would not work with anybody but SRK but eventually Tees Maar Khan happened.

It is rather surprising to know that Farah had already filmed for Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai wherein she plays herself,long before she became aware of the fact it resembles her current situation with Shahrukh.

Milap Zaveri who is the director of the flick talks about the film and says that Farah is playing herself and is making a movie after Om Shanti Om without Shahrukh in it.Instead an upcoming actor Desh(Ruslaan Mumtaz) is chosen as the lead who throws starry tantrums in the film which makes her miss SRK.She through out the movie thinks of SRK and expresses desire to work with the Superstar again.

When inquired whether the tiff between Farah and Sharukh is for real,Milap Zaveri replies saying that they had started filming for the movie a year ago and the fact that Akshay is now working with Farah is a complete coincidence.He emphasized that Farah and SRK are good friends and the audience will be happy to see them working together again.

Women Bollywood Directors

We are bringing to you some of the well-known Women directors of B-town.

Farah Khan



Farah made a modest beginning with an assitanta and then an independent choreographer in Bollywood and over the years has made the biggest of stars dance to her command (literally). However, even as she was choreographing hits such as Chaiyya Chaiyya, Dhol Bajne Laga, Woh Ladki Hai Kahan and several other numbers, there was always a filmmaker hidden inside of her. The choreographer has been an ardent movie-buff. At 21,she decided that she would one day direct a film. She fulfilled this long-time desire with the smash-hit Main Hoon Naa starring good friend Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. The two paired up once again to deliver one of the biggest hits ever - Om Shanti Om - and since then Farah has been a name to deem with. Considering she is the mother of triplets when one sees her manage it all with a smile on her face, it indeed makes us salute the lady.

Zoya Akhtar



Coming from a filmy family, films were a natural progression for Zoya Akhtar (daughter of veteran lyricist and writer Javed Akhtar and his ex-wife Honey Irani). So it came as no surprise that the young and talented girl decided to make films, her profession. She had been tending dreams of turning director since the age of 18 and her role-models include a diverse range of filmmakers from Mani Ratnam to Martin Scorcese and Satyajit Ray to Farah Khan. Zoya made an impressive debut with Luck By Chance this year.

The film gave an inside view of the happenings in the film industry and Zoya`s debut venture was praised by one and all. Indeed, if her debut flick is any indication of things to come, Zoya Akhtar certainly is one lady to watch out for in the future.

Meghna Gulzar



Meghna Gulzar is yet another woman who has made a name for herself in Bollywood. Daughter of veteran lyricist Gulzar, Meghna aka Bosky, made her directorial debut with the sensitive tale of surrogate motherhood - Filhaal. The movie won her critical acclaim but didn`t set the cash registers ringing. For her next venture, she chose a light romantic entertainer Just Married which had some wonderful performances from its lead cast of Fardeen Khan and Esha Deol. Meghna`s most recent flick was Dus Kahaniyaan where she directed one of the short stories.

Kalpana Lajmi



Kalpana Lajmi debuted as a costume director with Shyam Benegal`s Bhumika starring Smita Patil. She made her directorial debut with the Shabana Azmi- Naseeruddin Shah starrer Ek Pal. After a hiatus, Kalpana made a comeback with Rudaali which fetched its lead actress Dimple Kapadia the National Award for Best Actress. Few years later, history repeated itself again when Raveena Tandon also bagged the National Award for Best Actress for Kalpana`s socially relevant film Daman. This talented director certainly has a penchant for giving her leading ladies award winning roles.

Pooja Bhatt



Pooja Bhatt made an impressive debut as a teenager in father Mahesh Bhatt`s flick Daddy. After impressing one and all with her acting prowess in films like Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, Sadak, Sir, Tamanna and Zakhm, Pooja took everyone by surprise when she decided to take an indefinite break from acting. However, just as Pooja the actor called it a day, Pooja the filmmaker was unleashed.

She first started out producing films like Dushman, Jism etc. and then took the giant leap to direct with the John Abraham- Udita Goswami starrer Paap. Her first two directorial ventures Paap and Holiday didn’t exactly set the box office on fire but her third venture Dhokha did fetch a lot of critical acclaim.

Now Pooja is busy directing the Himesh Reshammiya starrer Kajraa Re.

Reema Kagti



Reema Kagti decided to fulfill her ambitions of becoming a director through the conventional way. She first assisted Farhan Akhtar on Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya. Her work paid off when Farhan`s company Excel Entertainment offered her a chance to direct her first film Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. The story of six couples on a honeymoon to Goa struck a chord with the masses and the critics and Reema shot to fame. If the buzz is to be believed, Reema`s next will be a thriller. We can`t wait to watch it!

Nandita Das



The dusky beauty Nandita Das created a niche for herself in the world of parallel cinema through sensitive performances in films such as Fire, 1947: Earth, Bawandar, and Ramchand Pakistani. In fact Nandita is only the second Indian celebrity to be invited (after Aishwarya Rai in 2003) to be a part of the jury at the world famous Cannes International Film Festival in 2005. Having achieved a fair amount of acclaim for her acting prowess, Nandita decided to don the director`s hat with Firaaq - a story set one month after the ghastly Gujarat riots. While the film is yet to release in India, it has made the rounds at several prestigious international film festivals. In fact, those who have seen the film are convinced that Nandita is a promising director.

Besides the above mentioned names, there are a couple of more female directors who are slowly but surely creating a niche for themselves
namely, Shona Urvashi (Chupke Se, Saas Bahu Aur Sensex), Leena Yadav (Shabd, Teen Patti) and Madhureeta Anand ( Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye).

Here`s saluting these lovely ladies who have managed to hold their own in this male dominated industry.
