European Project
WHENEVER I travel around the globe these days I am asked how is it that Greece, a tiny economy, can have such a huge impact on Europe as a whole? It is the lack of public confidence in the European project itself that is the problem. Citizens and markets have suddenly discovered ...

Buying a film´s rights is like paying tribute: Ajay Devgn
IF one is inspired by a movie, its rights should be bought to make one´s own version, actor Ajay Devgn suggests, adding this is akin to paying a tribute to that work. Hrishikesh Mukherjee´s Gol Maal inspires his forthcoming film Bol Bachchan, which he has co-produced with Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd.

Directed by Rohit Shetty, Bol Bachchan is an action comedy. While Amol Palekar, Bindiya Goswami and Utpal Dutt featured in the 1979 hit film, the modern version will see Ajay along with Abhishek Bachchan and Asin Thottumkal tickling the funny...

It´s not being dubbed." There is a constant ...
Bollywood is hard for outsiders: Prachi Desai
PRACHI Desai is one of the few outsiders who have managed to make it big in filmdom. But the actress, who hopes to do 25 films in future, says it is not easy for outsiders to get a break in Bollywood. "I feel that the industry can be unfair sometimes. When you are an outsider, people don´t take you seriously. I personally think you need an extreme push for people to promote you and bring you to a certain level," the 23-year-old said. The young actress, who started her career as the lead in TV show Kasamh Se, made her Bollywood debut opposite Farhan Akhtar in Rock On!!. She was then seen in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, in which she was paired with Emraan Hashmi, and also was in the cast of recently released Teri Meri Kahaani...
