On one hand, where choreographer turned director Farah Khan said that acting in Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi was quite a stressful experience for her, acclaimed director Tigmanshu Dhulia, who made his acting debut with Gangs Of Wasseypur, claimed that he did not find acting difficult at all.
Dhulia, who is presently working on Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster sequel, was quoted saying that though he had initially considered himself to be too shy to be an actor, he discovered that after interacting with so many actors throughout his career, he did not find acting a difficult task at all.
Tigmanshu was seen playing the role of power hungry politician Ramadhir Singh in Anurag Kashyap's gangland epics Gangs Of Wasseypur and Gangs Of Wasseypur II and his acting skills were appreciated by one and all. Tigmanshu will also direct Milan Talkies, which stars Imran Khan and is said to be a love story set in a rural set up.
After giving a stellar performance as the power-hungry Ramadhir Singh in the two Gangs Of Wasseypur movies, it seems that director Tigmanshu Dhulia, who made his acting debut with the Anurag Kashyap gangland flick, has developed a taste for acting.
Sources claim that Dhulia will once again face the camera for director Hansal Mehta's upcoming flick Shahid, a film based on the life of activist lawyer Shahid Azmi, who was assasinated in his office at suburban Kurla a few years back.
A source was quoted saying that like Anurag Kashyap, Hansal Mehta too is a good friend of Dhulia and as such, the latter could not refuse when Mehta approached him for the role in the movie, Dhulia will be seen playing the role of a senior lawyer, who mentors Shahid, played by actor Rajkumar Yadav, who was last seen playing the role of the sly Shamshad in Gangs Of Wasseypur II.
Gangs Of Wasseypur and Gangs Of Wasseypur II' star Huma Qureshi is planning to celebrate Eid with her family in Delhi'. At an Iftaari party for the Gangs Of Wasseypur II team, Huma said, "I am going to Delhi for Eid, my family is there. All I ask for is our hard work should be paid off the result should be good and positive. For Eid three basic things are we eat well, wear good clothes and get Eidi. No matter wherever we are we see to it that for Eid we all come together."
The actress, who played a huge fan of Madhuri Dixit in the recently released Gangs Of Wasseypur II also said, "I don't believe in comparisons. But if people are comparing me to Madhuri what more can I ask for. She is the icon for everyone."
Zeeshan Qadri, who made his Bollywood debut as a writer with Gangs Of Wasseypur and also played the role of 'Definite' in Gangs Of Wasseypur II is not one to rest on his laurels, it seems. A mere few weeks after the two movies released, Qadri revealed that he is ready with three more stories!
Sources claim that Qadri has three scripts that are ready and awaiting final touches. It is being said that two of these projects are real life incidents- one being a crime-love story based in Bihar and a gangster story set in Meerut, whereas the third script is a fictional love story.
In Gangs Of Wasseypur II, Zeeshan was seen playing the role of Sardar Khan's son from a different wife, who grows up idolizing movie stars and has a hidden agenda to achieve supremacy over the Dhanbad underworld.
Acclaimed director Anurag Kashyap's gangland epic Gangs Of Wasseypur might have impressed everyone in movie-halls, but it seems that Kashyap is planning to repeat the magic on stage too.
Sources claim that following wife Kalki Koechlin's suggestions, Anurag is planning to come up with a Broadway style musical based on the two parts of Gangs Of Wasseypur. It seems that Kalki, who is quite active in theatre, felt that the storyline of the two films would be perfect for a musical and the Shaitan actress might not only help with the creatives, but also work in the musical.
The second part of Gangs Of Wasseypur, which deals with the rise to power of Faisal Khan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is slated to release on August 8 this year.
