  • Masti sequel to release in summer next year

    Masti sequel to release in summer next year

    MUMBAI: Eight years after Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Desmukh and Aftab Shivdasani went chasing Lara Dutta in the pursuit of extra-marital fun in Ashok Thakeria‘s Masti, the makers are back with a sequel Grand Masti (GM) produced by Maruti International.

    However, the sequel will have the three leading men having girlfriends of their own.

    When asked about the eight-year gap, director Indra Kumar says, “We have filmmakers making sequels after 20 years. Considering that, we‘re coming out with our sequel at the right time.” Calling the 2004 hit Bollywood‘s Hangover, the filmmaker adds, “While Masti has nothing to do with that Hollywood film, it surprised, shocked and entertained the audience.”

    Producer Ashok Thakeria also feels the same. “Masti was the first film where the lead characters boldly sought extra-marital fun. In GM, the story gets bolder,” he says. Not surprisingly, the sequel has a lot more double entendres. “It‘s an adult comedy no doubt, but it‘s going to be more entertaining than the first,” says Kumar.

    It is said that the producer-director, who churned out hits like Dhamaal and its sequel Double Dhamaal discarded a few drafts before zeroing in on the final one.

    “We didn‘t want to make a sequel just for the sake of it. The idea is to come out with something that‘s better than the first, ” says Indra Kumar.

    Having already shot for 15 days, the filmmakers plan to wrap up the schedule by November and release the film in the summer of next year.

  • Javed Jafferi take to documentary making

    Javed Jafferi take to documentary making

    MUMBAI: With the formation of his new company Indian Documentary Foundation, noted comedian Javed Jaaferi has taken a plunge into documentary making.

    “Indian Documentary Foundation is a non-profit organisation that will help raise funds for financing and marketing documentary films, create awareness and raise the bar for Indian documentaries,” Javed said.

    Earlier, he was the co-producer of Inshallah, Football, a documentary on the game of soccer. Now, Jaaferi hopes to create a market for such movies that act as an eye-opener and share hard-hitting information.

    The 48-year-old Jaaferi blames the ‘escapist’ attitude of people for the dwindling state of documentary filmmaking.

    “Documentaries act as an eye-opener and say a lot about society, whether it`s Malegaon Ka Superhero or Final Solution. These films provide some amazing and hard-hitting information in a condensed form. There are so many different areas that they touch upon, which people are not actually aware of,” he observed.

    Jafferi, son of veteran comedian Jagdeep, has been the mainstay of films like Double Dhamaal, Hello Darling, Lafangey Parindey, 3 Idiots, Daddy Cool: Join the Fun and Kambakkht Ishq, among others.
