“Annu Kapoor is a studious actor and a perfectionist. After spending years in the industry he still studies his role very minutely. When I offered him the role of a Mauritian cop, he requested if he can travel with us few days prior to the shoot normally actors don’t travel with the technical crew but he travelled. The 5 days he had on his hand earlier, he use to regularly visit the police station to understand how a Mauritian police handles a crime scene. For the role he learnt French and by – hearted few lines to bring authenticity to the role,” says writer & director Mukul Abhyankar.

Based on the theme ‘Nothing is what it seems’ MISSING will surely take you on an unfathomable roller coaster ride.

Actor Varun Dhawan, who made his Bollywood debut with an out-and-out commercial film STUDENT OF THE YEAR and has experimented with a serious avatar in BADLAPUR and in the upcoming OCTOBER, says he is not open to the idea of being typecast.

"I do not want to be typecast," Varun told IANS.

"Whether it's going to be a Hindi film, a commercial film, an art film, or whatever… Whatever role I do should entertain people and that's what I set out to do. As a person, I cannot stay on one movie for very long and if I do a very serious film, I need to do a comedy film.

"So I get into another film which is like OCTOBER, offering a different tone and talking about different kind of love," the 30-year-old added in an email interview.

The actor is currently in the national capital to shoot his new film SUI DHAAGA. On Wednesday, he took time out of his current shooting schedule to launch "Tab bhi tu" for OCTOBER, which is directed by Shoojit Sircar and also stars newcomer Banita Sandhu.

Co-produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, OCTOBER, releasing on April 13, celebrates love, nature and the autumn season.

Varun's last few films, including JUDWAA 2 and BADRINATH KI DULHANIA did good business at the box office. How does he maintain his calm when a film either becomes a hit or a flop.

"Once the film releases, I am the happiest. I am the happiest while shooting the films and even during the marketing of the film. When the film releases, people talk about it and put you on a high and you enjoy that phase, but it's not only about that.

"It is not about receiving a place. I mean I obviously want people to like it and enjoy the film and I hope that the filmmaker's dream and his vision and message can reach people," said Varun, who is the youngest Bollywood celebrity to have a wax figure at Hong Kong's Madame Tussauds.

Choreographer-director Ahmed Khan says multi-talented actor Tiger Shroff's screen presence is so strong that projecting him as an ordinary man does not seem feasible.

"Tiger has all the good things rolled in one. He is a great looking guy with flawless dancing ability and a great physique that girls go gaga over. His smile, his eyes and his screen presence is so strong that one cannot shoot any regular scene with Tiger Shroff. As a director, it was challenging for me," Khan told IANS in an interview.

As a choreographer, Khan has worked with Tiger earlier for songs like "Zindagi aa raha hoon main" and "Chal wahan jaate hain".

"In those videos, I explored the dancer and actor side of Tiger. And in 'Baaghi 2', I explored the action hero in him. I choreographed all the action sequences. The best part of working with Tiger is that he amplifies my ideas with his performance, and that takes it to the next level.

"Perhaps that is why he managed to achieve the high scale in BAAGHI 2, matching up to international standards," Khan said.

Starting his career at the age of 15 as a technician, Khan choreographed the song "Rangeela" for Urmila Matondkar in 1994. He then choreographed for Bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Akshaye Khanna, Salman Khan, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.

His work reflects in songs like "Dil cheez tujhe dedi", "Afghan jalebi", "O Khuda" and "Mai tera boyfriend" to name a few.

Asked about the challenge he faced as a choreographer while working with superstars, Khan said things have changed with time.

"Choreography in a film depends on the filmmaker as well as the aura of a star. I had choreographed the piece 'Beat of Passion', the opening dance featuring Aishwarya in 'Taal'. That was out-and-out dance where I worked on the song as a dancer. I also choreographed 'Jumme ki raat' for Salman bhai.

"But in the latter, Bhai's aura worked so much that I had to control the dancer inside me."

He explained: "As a choreographer I can say that the signature step was not out-and-out dance, but it is a superhit because of Salman Khan. Only Salman bhai can make that happen. So yes, while working with superstars, I have to keep in mind what their fans want to watch.

"Having said that, youngsters like Tiger and Varun Dhawan tend to dance more. And they are ready to do anything to get their moves right."

BAAGHI 2 is releasing on Friday.

Actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna, who is married to actor Akshay Kumar and is a mother of two children, says that the current generation of Bollywood is more equipped to handle the glare of the spotlight thanks to social media.

"It has become increasingly more difficult to keep our children shielded within our fishbowl existence but I also console myself with the fact that this generation growing up with social media at the forefront is probably more equipped to handle the glare of the spotlight than we were," Twinkle told IANS when asked how she maintains her kids privacy keeping in mind that so much of scrutiny nowadays is related to star kids.

Akshay and Twinkle tied the knot in 2001 and together they have son Aarav and daughter Nitara.

She is also a producer and her last venture was PAD MAN that starred Akshay along with Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte.

The film was based on a short story from Twinkle's book The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad. The book has already sold 100,000 copies.

Is Twinkle open to writing an autobiography in the near future?

"I think when you write a book about your own life it's very difficult to be completely honest even with yourself. Fiction will paradoxically always have more honesty than a memoir," she said.
