Who shaped Sonakshi Sinha?

This is what grooming does to you. No raw edges, no slip of tongue, no nervous moments - just a confident conversation which is not business like but doesn't come anywhere close to being frivolous. Sonkashi Sinha, the latest entrant in Bollywood, pretty much appears familiar with the rules of the game. The grooming that she has received from her parents - Poonam and Shatrughan Sinha - is very much on display in the way she handles a barrage of questions coming her way. "Well, that confidence comes from my father. As for the grooming, it has been totally my mom's effort. Having said that, you need to bring in your hard work and determination. After all I had to match up with Salman's calibre here", laughs Sonakshi whern questioned around her grooming when it comes to tackling difficult situations.
It wasn't much difficult for her though when she started shooting for DABANGG. Remembering her first day on the sets, Sonakshi says, "There was no sense of butterflies in the stomach kind of thing at all. It was all very normal and I felt that I have done this all before."
Her confidence can be sensed from what she goes on to add, "Let me be honest but the fact is that camera doesn't make me conscious at all. The good thing is that the first shot was relatively easier too. It was a scene in a hospital where I was just supposed to walk. Frankly, I wasn't unnerved at all. No, I am not trying to sound over-confident but this is really how I felt."
Well Sonakshi, we do look forward to your effort in the entire film now!

Summary of Paathshaala Movie

Teaching is a noble profession. But does it hold true today? Hasn't education succumbed to modernization as everything else, which is ruled by commercialization and consumerism in this age of rat race? We read in the newspapers about students being bogged down under study pressures, parents burdened with fees hikes, teachers punishing students inhumanly, some students even dying in such cases or some committing suicides… what state of affairs have we brought our education system to? Paathshala tries to answer many such questions related to the sanctity of today's education system. It sheds light on the shortcomings and wrong doings in today's schools where the high morals and basic ethics associated with the teaching profession seem to have taken a back seat. It's shameful that even schooling has fallen prey to the pressures of competition and the vices of money making mantra. Paathshala attempts to challenge such notions that threaten our children's future and thus our society. The story begins with a new English Teacher Rahul Prakash Udyavar (Shahid Kapoor) joining Swaraswati Vidya Mandir school, situated in the outskirts of Mumbai Suburbs. Though he strikes instant rapport with students and teachers alike, he realizes that there is something amiss in the school. Slowly his doubts prove true as the School Manager Sharma (Saurbh Shukla) makes many monetary obligations compulsory on the parents in the name of extracurricular activities. He goes to the extent of punishing the students inhumanly when the new unjustified demands of the school are not fulfilled by the parents. When Rahul Udyawar unifies the teachers (Ayesha Takia, Sushant Singh, Kurush Deboo) against the atrocities of school management, the Principal Aditya Sahay (Nana Patekar) defends the management decision. This comes as a shocker to the teachers as Mr. Sahay is known for his dedication as an educationist for last 32 years which has built the school's high reputation. The situation becomes graver as school management becomes overambitious with its growth and involves media planners in the extracurricular activities. This demands the involvement of students in TV reality shows and many other media PR activities used for building up the school image in public which starts reflecting on the students' stress levels. The pressure on young minds increases incredibly leading to unexpected and grim consequences. Caught in the web of commercialization and internal rebellion, the school's situation becomes so explosive that it finally becomes a national issue. Paathshala challenges the increasing immoralities and unethical practices in our education system. It analyses intricately the relationship between students, teachers and the education system with sensitivity and sensibility… It reflects the true spirit of an education system. PAATHSHALA An Urgent and Desperate eye opening Mission for our Education System today.

3D Sequel Of Mr. India

During the eighties, when one of the biggest blockbuster Mr. India was released, the advent of SFX was much away to even make a thought of. Mr. India had tickled almost everyone. Starting from Sridevi’s romance to the thriller magic of the invisible man, Anil Kapoor as Mr. India was all a huge success. Since then a new generation of movie watchers has been created.

Now Boney Kapoor is toying the sequel. He is readying to produce the movie in 3D simultaneously incorporating SFX technology. Boney reveals, “I want to take this film to the highest level. 3D will be a terrific experience with this kind of subject”.

The lead roles will be played again by the never forgotten couple Sridevi and Anil Kapoor, whose magic of romance is still alive in all Indian hearts. And the biggest twist is over deciding the Villain, which would cast the never expected love Guru Salman Khan. Imagine Salman as Bogambo (saying “Bogambo Khus Hua … “) and running his fingers across the white globe ! But Boney is confident of his choice ! The budget of the movie has been estimated nearly about Rs.100 crore.
