Read between the lines when the actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha conveys his (not-so) simple thoughts to media. Making a comeback in films with ‘Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai’, Shotgun Sinha will be seen romancing Big B’s once-upon-a-time love interest Rekha. They last worked together in the film ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’ twenty years ago.
Not-so-happening director Ramesh Talwar is directing their mature love story. When asked why he chose to do his comeback with an average director he answers, “If ‘Nishabd’ did not do well at the box office it does not mean Amitabh Bachchan is not a good actor. Hits and flops are not the parameter to judge the ability of a personâ€.
Shatru, as we see never misses a chance to have a dig at his favourite Shatru and keeps reminding the world of Big B’s fiasco Nishabd.
Amitabh and Shatrughan renewed their enmity during the time when authenticity of a certain awards function was in question. They may have fallen apart long ago but the liberty to speak your mind without minding your language on blogs have bridge the gap. As Amitabh is an ambassador of IIFA, anything related to IIFA said and done became the subject of their blog-o-spat.
Now we all know IIFA awards had rolled out a green carpet on day one to send out the eco-friendly signals.
And when we asked Shatru for his opinion on global warming; he didn’t mince words, “I am not versed with the subject but people who talk about it have been commuting in AC cars. Aise bade bade log ghadiyaali aansoo bahate haiâ€.
Umm… we wonder is this ‘bade log’ a tall, dark and handsome ‘angry’ old man?
