Saif Ali Khan: Horror comedy genre in danger of getting over exposed
 
												His one-liners set the audience rolling on the floor laughing with his performance as ‘Boris’ in ‘Go Goa Gone’ and he is now all set to tickle the funny bone once again with his performance in ‘Bhoot Police’, a horror comedy, a genre which actor Saif Ali Khan feels is in danger of getting over exposed.
A slew of horror comedies such as ‘Phone Bhoot’ and ‘Atithi Bhooto Bhava’ are set to release after ‘Bhoot Police’.
Talking to IANS, Saif spoke about the sudden spotlight on the genre.
“I think it is in danger of getting over exposed and you have to find a way to make it different. Also I think a lot of the situations tend to be similar and we have to put our minds to it now and come up with a different looking and feeling ghost,” Saif, who is the son of veteran actress Sharmila Tagore and late star cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, said.
The 51-year-old star finds horror comedy an exciting genre.
“But one film has started to look a little bit like another because I think the ghost is looking the same. That is a great cause of concern and I think we all need to wake up to that. I think we made an effort in our film to be different in that sense,” he said.
Saif agrees that the genre is popular among all age groups.
“I think there is something nice about being scared and not so scared and mixing that up with a good laugh. That extreme of emotion is something that people enjoy. Sometimes opposites become quite interesting,” he said.
‘Bhoot Police’, which also stars Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Yami Gautam, Jaaved Jaafri, and Jamie Lever, will release on September 10 on Disney+ Hotstar.
Saif is not very excited about an OTT release because he feels happy with the work he has done in the movie.
“Well, this is why I don’t like to make plans in my career because everything was going really quite well after ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’, ‘Jawani Jaaneman’ and ‘Bunty Babli’. This was supposed to be a nice cinematic event that would translate to a step up in life in terms of career and work…So, it is a little disappointing,” he said.
“Ideally you make a horror comedy because you want people to watch it in a communal atmosphere in a theatre but having said that we are very lucky as actors that we have another medium to display our work,” Saif, who is married to actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, added.
The actor feels grateful and happy that people are going to see their work.
He says it is “one of my better performances”.
Saif concluded: “I think it is a good movie. In a way, I am disappointed that it is not coming to theatres and we are in the middle of a pandemic and everybody’s disappointed about that…is another way of me saying I am very proud of the movie. It would have been nice in theatres.”

Bollywood actor Mukesh Rishi watches J&K Assembly proceedings from Speaker’s Gallery

Srinagar, Oct 29: Bollywood actor Mukesh Rishi on Wednesday watched the proceedings of J&K Assembly from the Speaker’s Gallery as members cutting across party lines welcomed his presence.
The Assembly warmly welcomed Rishi, who was present in the Speaker’s Gallery during the ongoing session.
Members across party lines greeted the actor with applause as Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather announced his presence in the House.
Rishi belongs to J&K and was born on April 19, 1956, in a Gujjar Chaudhary family in Kathua district.
Growing up in Jammu, graduating from Government College, Sector 11, Chandigarh, and working for two years in Mumbai, Rishi moved to Fiji for work, where he met his future wife, who is of Indo-Fijian ancestry. Her family ran a traditional departmental store. He has a lucrative investment portfolio, including warehouse investments.
He later worked as a model in New Zealand before beginning his acting career in India.
An actor known for playing villainous and supporting roles and a film producer, he has worked in Hindi, Telugu, and other films. Among his better-known Bollywood movies are “Gunda” (1998), “Sarfarosh” (1999), and “Koi… Mil Gaya” (2003).
The Autumn Session of the J&K Assembly will end on October 31. With its conclusion, all the top offices of government, including those of the Chief Minister, his cabinet colleagues, the Chief Secretary, administrative secretaries and the Director General of Police (DGP) will move to the winter capital Jammu.
The move is called the “Dabar Move” and will see the offices functioning for six months from the winter capital, Jammu.
The over one and a half century old practice of shuttling offices between Srinagar and Jammu was stopped by the Lt Governor in 2021, but has been restored by the elected government headed by Omar Abdullah.

Rohit Roy calls son Agasthya ‘the best looking Bose Roy’ as he turns 18

Mumbai Oct 25: Actor Rohit Bose Roy penned a lovely birthday wish for his son, Agasthya Bose Roy, as he turned 18 years old on Saturday.
The ‘Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand’ actor took to his official Instagram handle and posted a cute father-son photo of the two making goofy expressions. Both Rohit and Agasthya were seen twinning in pink.
Calling his son the ‘best looking Bose Roy’, Rohit penned on the photo-sharing app, “Happy birthday to my one and only… To the best looking Bose Roy…May all your dreams come true and much more!!! Can’t believe you are 18 already! (sic)”
“For me, you will forever remain a chotu (red heart emoji) Love you Agu,” he added.
Actor Sanjay Kapoor also wished Agasthya in the comment section, saying, “Happy birthday”, along with a red heart emoji.
Back in August this year, Rohit came up with a special video for his better half, Manasi Joshi Roy, suggesting that couples should always “rekindle romance”.
Dropping a beautifully traditional video of his wife on social media, Rohit penned the caption, “Whenever asked for tips on lasting relationships, my one constant has been- Try and rekindle the romance every opportunity you get. Romance gets stale and practicality seeps into every relationship after a few years and it’s your job to go back and realize why you fell in love with her in the first place. Manasi irritates the f@&k out of me on a daily basis (no strike that, on an hourly basis) and I return the favour with equal fervor ! (sic).”
He further wrote, “But both of us are also very quick to get back and find that happy space coz we have no idea what the argument was about..No marriage is without its own set of unique challenges.. but if you treat everyday as a new day and every year as your first anniversary, more often than not, the happy will outweigh the ugly… These are not words from any book on relationships, this is what we have lived through and I still feel happy when I create a reel for her that makes her smile… So keep doing these little things for each other. Giving up is the easy way out, but for me, marriages are forever. They might be made in heaven but they have to survive on earth, so do your best.”
