Housefull will be Akshay's biggest opening film ever

First theatrical promo of Housefull is out and undoubtedly, it has got to an all around positive response. While the makers have done well by amalgamating class with mass in the First Look, they have also smartly integrated a shot from the film which features the three leading ladies - Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta and Jiah Khan - in a two piece bikini.

While the film does appear to be a good family entertainer in the offering, director Sajid and Co. have also proudly declared that Housefull will be Akshay Kumar's biggest opening film ever. Still, one can't help but pop a question - Was the bikini scene really crucial to the film? Also, was that integrated in the film so that recovering money becomes faster for its makers?'

"Housefull is certainly not dependant on the bikini factor to help it recover money", comes an outright denial from Sajid, "Yes, all my leading ladies are seen in bikinis as part of the song, but on a beach resort you don't expect them to come out of the ocean wearing salwaar-kameez. Also the way it has been shot is aesthetic and not vulgar by any means. Moreover, it has been choreographed by Farah who is known for her class treatment."

But still, there is a definite sex element that comes in! One wonders what made Sajid opt for it when during Heyy Babyy, he had clearly stated that he would never resort to any gimmicks or sex angle?

"You have to differentiate between something looking sexy v/s some one used as a sex object from the selling perspective", Sajid explains his point of view here, "In fact throughout it's narrative, Housefull doesn't have a single second of vulgarity in it."

Going back in the past, Sajid adds, "Same was the case with Heyy Babyy even though the film did have its share of hotness. It was required because the plot was set in Sydney and revolved around three bachelor friends for whom the only time pass was sleeping around. Still, family audiences went to watch the film and so would be the case with Housefull as well."

Well, one looks forward to that happening, with or without the bikini scene. With Housefull being the biggest entertainer in the offering soon after the conclusion of IPL, one can well expect Bollywood starved audience to hop into theaters and watch this Sajid Nadiadwala production that stars Akshay Kumar in lead along with Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal, Boman Irani, Chunky Pandey and Randhir Kapoor. With music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Housefull releases all over on 30th April.

"I'm scared of receiving a call from myself" - Deepika Padukone

I recall the day when Deepika Padukone walked the red carpet for the first time. It was ice cold outside the Empire Leicester Square. Om Shanti Om had its world premiere in London. Padukone was ready to paint the town red, and she did when she arrived in her beautiful red dress. Uff...that ada of hers I tell you! Anyway...to the current day. She is growing taller with every film of hers. Commercially speaking, you can't even get through her now-a-days.

She is keeping so busy that not even the paparazzi can trace her. I mean, we got to give it to the lady...she is fast.Wearing that nine-acre smile all day long and still to not look fake is quite something. So we decided to call her the original babe of Bollywood as she embodies all the elements of originality. We had a quick word or two with the tinsel town's tallest beauty Deepika Padukone on her first thriller, new energies, the Kajra Re step, Farhan Akhtar and why after all the success, she still feels unsatisfied.

How spooky can a thriller like Karthik Calling Karthik get?
Well, the film is a thriller and it can get very spooky, all the more so, because I've never been a part of any thriller so far.

What sort of energy and newness do new comers like you and Farhan bring to the screen?
We both have complimented each other and have learnt from each other so much during the making of Karthik Calling Karthik. We both draw something from each others performances. And that was the same with all my co-stars, whether it was Shah Rukh or Ranbir.

Was your Kajra Re step and the many others you've done impromptu?
Absolutely yes. The steps that I do in the song 'Uff Teri Ada' were completely impromptu. My director Vijay Lalwani said that it does look like a fun song and doesn't look choreographed. He thought that we were having a ball of a time.

Every young actress entering Bollywood wants to become the next Deepika Padukone. You're being touted as the next big thing in the industry.
(Laughs) Yes, it took me just two years to come this far but there was a struggle of almost ten years into it I guess. I'm extremely happy but I am also not completely satisfied with my achievements. I still think I have a lot left to achieve and prove. My hard work has paid off to some extent and I have reached the level that I wanted to and hopefully will continue doing the same kind of work to reach higher levels.

Have you ever received any call from yourself?
Nope! I am quite scared of these things and I hope it doesn't. So sorry. No call from Deepika Padukone will be answered (laughs).

Producers and directors have targeted you as a completely commercial entity because you give hit films.
You know, I don't know about me being a commercial entity. I'm not really planning the kind of films that I want to do. For me, as long as it excites me, I do it. Then when I do it, it becomes a hit at the box office followed by critical acclaim. As long as that is working for me and I am enjoying the kind of roles I'm being offered, I'm not complaining.

What does the media not know about Farhan Akhtar?
That he has a great sense of humour. But I'm sure everyone knows that. So I don't know how well or not well the media knows him. He is meticulous and very proper. Everything has to be in order for Farhan or else he gets upset.
