By now all of you must hv seen the strikingly 'original', 'Mummy-esque' promos of tht horribly miscast, botch-up-of-a-movie 'Drona', which hs AB's baby playing an (utterly overweight) superhero in a ridiculously golden fantasy world...I happened to chance upon an interview of the director of the movie, who's fatso's childhood frnd and apparently thts his only claim to fame, othr than his trophy wife, the ravishing Sonali Bendre! (oh yes...he made tht long-forgotten flick 'Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hain' 5-6 yrs back, but i wudnt call tht a claim to 'fame'!)...The interview is a study in how some people love to dig their own grave...much in advance...its as if they are relishing thr own impending death... :)
Here's the article along with some 'vishesh tippani' :D
Bollywood Hungama reports:
Bollywood director Goldie Behl said his decision to make a sequel of his forthcoming film Drona will not depend on its box office performance. Behl, who had announced a sequel of his movie Drona even before its release, said "I will be making a sequel of it anyway. I hope that the film is well received, but even if it is not, I will go with its sequel".
BRAVO! You sure have guts!
"When I wrote this film, I had written so much that it cannot be incorporated in a single film. The end of the film leaves a question mark. So there is already a story before and after the film. It has a prequel and sequel written in the story form. I am sure people would like to know what happened before and after this," Behl said.
Really?! How can you be so sure of wat the ppl like and wat they dont? And if u hv perfected tht particular art, why dint u use it to design better promos thn the tacky ones currently on air?
The director said it now depends on Eros, Rose movies and Abhishek Bachchan to come up together as he is ready to start the sequel immediately after its release. Behl said Abhishek would be part of the sequel but as far as other actors are concerned he has not decided yet.
What about casting Aishwarya Rai? "Aishwarya is my 'bhabhi' and if she likes the subject and role, it would be privilege and honour for me to work with her."

Stop licking AB's feet, you jackass!And cut the 'bhabhi' crap....
Goldie Behl, who is the son of veteran director producer late Ramesh Behl, debuted as a director with Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai which starred Abhishek Bachchan along with Rani Mukherjee and Sushmita Sen. Behls and Bachchans are family friends as Ramesh Behl had produced and directed various films with Big B which included hits like Kasme Vaade and Pukar.
Pukar??A hit?? It had the ignominy of being cald Tukaar rathr thn by its real name in the era bygone...
"Abhishek is my younger brother and I want him in every film unless he has no problem with it." So is there any chance for other actors in Goldie's film? "It will all depend on the script. I go with the casting according to the script and if there is any chance for any other actor I along with Abhishek will decide on whom to cast in the film."
Just observe how he contradicts himself!Abhi wil b in all his films....and yet the casting depends on the script whn it comes to othr actors!!! Or does this Goldie guy thnk AB can suit any role?! jus lik his over-exposed dadda! :P
About his future plans, Behl said after Drona his production company Rose Movies are planning for three movies, one of which will be directed by him.
"Film production has been our family business and we are now trying to come up with it in a big way," Behl added.
There have been speculations in the media that Drona which was supposed to be released sometimes in August was postponed to give Yashraj's Bachna Ae Haseeno a fair run in theatres. What does Goldie have to say on it?
"There is no truth in it at all. The release date was postponed as I needed more time to work on my special effects which is an integral part of it."
He said half of his film's look has been created in computer graphics.
"This is a super natural film where many things are fictional which need to be created in a computer and which takes a lot of time. So the time taken for it will be worth watching, that I can assure."

Beat this! The fictional 'things' need to be 'created' "IN" a computer!!! Which colg did u go to dude?
About the story of the film, he said though it is a supernatural story everyone will be able to relate to it. It is a film which children as well as grown ups can enjoy.
Now hows tht for originality!Never heard any director say tht abt his upcoming movie!
"It's an adventure fantasy which belongs to the category of Harry Potter or Indiana Jones. It is inspired by comic books, graphic novels and Indian mythology and it is truly Indian in approach."
Dude wait for the film to find its own destiny...M darn sure you will hv ur foot in ur mouth in 2 weeks frm now...And plz oh plz...Potter and Indiana Jones r legend franchises...ur moronic attempt at an Indianized version of Mummy-meets-paunch may not even come close to Hollywood crap like 'Journey to the centre of the earth' or even 'Mummy III'
It is the story of Aditya, a descendent of a royal family, played by Abhishek who realises the purpose of his existence and how he lives up to it.
Has Abhishek realised the purpose of HIS existence yet??
Aditya, who is also called Drona, fights with a powerful evil magician Ritz played by Kay Kay Menon in order to save the world from his evil intentions.
Ritz??Isnt tht the name of a French hotel?And dint this Goldie dude just say its an Indianized version?! He must b getting all old and senile...He wud rathr change his name to Oldie...
And hv u seen the TinTin-hairdo tht Kay Kay Menon sports as Ritz-the evil magician!Was tht a result of one of his evil magic tricks?! And why do all superheroes always hv to save the whole wide world??
The producers have spent a huge amount of money -- Rs.220 million -- for the look of Ritz, his den and troops and the special effects.
"We wanted to show Ritz as extremely powerful so we have created the atmosphere which builds up an extra-powerful image of the villain."
"The more powerful the villain, greater the conflict and more the excitement," quipped the director.

Oh crap! 220 million for tht fit-for-an-asylum-inmate hairdo and those tacky sandstorms???
However, Behl said the USP of his film is Jaya Bachchan. He said: "Jaya aunty is playing the reel life mother of Abhishek for the first time which is the USP of my film."
"She has a very important role in the movie which needs to be watched out for," Behl added.

You can guess how good a film is gonna b whn its USP is a real life mom-son pair debuting as an on-screen mom-son pair! This despite the Gold-jerk harping endlessly abt how the special effects cost so much of thr money and time!
The film, slated to hit the theatres Oct 2, also stars Priyanka Chopra as Abhishek's body guard.
The telling blow is dealt with a finality in ths last stmt which showcases tht the cry-bABy still needs someone to guard him...even aftr getting an ice-cold wifey! :P
Afterthought: Is Drona wearing a golden costume bcoz the name of the movie's director is Goldie? :P
