Kajol reals Mom in Toonpur Ka Superhero

According to the reports Tanuja is all set to play Kajol`s reel life mom in the film ‘Toonpur Ka Superhero’ directed by Kireet Khurana. Real life mother - daughter duo on reel is a rare norm in Bollywood, and when it involves two top notch stalwarts of the industry like Tanuja and Kajol it becomes even more interesting. Buzz has it that for the first time Kajol and her mother Tanuja are going to act together.

Talking about the casting coup, director Kireet said, “It`s just the way we had planned and visualised it at the script level. After Ajay`s instantaneous `yes` after reading the script, we wanted Kajol to act alongside him. I was told that Kajol is discerning about choosing the scripts which was perfectly understandable for an actor of her caliber.”

It is believed that Tanuja has a small role in the film but a significant one. The director managed to rope in literally the complete family with Ajay Devgn playing male lead.

Finally when Kajol agreed to do the film, the makers decided to complete the `family` in reel life as well and approached Tanuja for a cameo role. The director said he wanted to mirror the respective real life of Ajay-Kajol and Tanuja in the film.

About the camaraderie between the mother and daughter on sets, director Kireet added, “Tanuja and Kajol share a great mom-daughter rapport. I remember they would always be chatty on the sets and happy to be together like long-lost friends."

Ranbir have potential to follow "Big B"

Director Siddharth Anand feels the young actor has the potential to follow in the footsteps of megastar Amitabh Bachchan as the "complete Hindi film hero".

"The day Ranbir does an action film and does it well, he has the potential to fill the void that Bachchan created," said Anand who teamed up with Ranbir for the second time for his new romantic comedy ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ releasing Sep 24.

"Ranbir is the perfect guy to play Anthony (a character played by Big B in `Amar Akbar Anthony`), he can play coolie, he can play the characters Bachchan played in his prime. There is no one else but him," Anand told reporters.

"In `Anjaana Anjaani` there is a sequence where they are stranded in the middle of an ocean. It was the Pacific Ocean and he had to dive into the freezing waters. He did it even though he has aquaphobia," said the director.

Talking about the film that co-stars Priyanka Chopra, he said: " `Anjaana Anjaani` is the story of two strangers who meet in strange circumstances and then part as strangers. So it`s a very unique concept for a Hindi film, but it`s deep-rooted as a Hindi commercial film. It has songs, stories, beautiful locations and fabulous performances."

Siddharth says more than the actresses, he bonds well with actors.

"I am a hero`s director. I bond with my heroes more than I bond with my heroines. Once we become friends, I like to work with them repeatedly if they are okay with it. I have been fortunate enough to work with two superstars," said Anand.
