It can be watched with parents without being embarrassed", says Sada who made waves 3 years back when APARICHIT, dubbed version of her blockbuster ANNIYAN, had hit the screens across the country. Ever since then, she was actively involving herself in the Bollywood scheme of things and landed up with KHALLBALLI, CLICK and LOVE KHICHDI, all of which are now lined up for release. 

"As for KHALLBALLI, it has a very Tom & Jerry kind of humor. I have traditionally enjoyed watching these characters whenever they are on at Cartoon Network and I am sure that even today, after years of re–runs, people across all age groups watch the show. KHALLBALLI belongs to the similar genre where you can expect people to watch the film again and again", smiles Sada.

Dhawan determined on sequel after 'Partner' success

Mumbai,  (IANS) Now that "Partner" has been declared a hit, David Dhawan is more determined than ever to do a sequel and says that it will be called either "Tom & Jerry" or "Carry On, Partner".

The director is an expert in making laugh riots and the recent examples of his command over comedy are "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya" and "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi". His latest movie has got an overwhelming response.

"I had decided on a sequel even before the 'Partner' release. Now, of course, audiences will kill us if we don't oblige. It's too early to say what kind of a sequel it will be. But Govinda and Salman will be back together," David told IANS.

Salman recently said it may be called "Tom & Jerry".

"Why not? We could very well call it 'Tom & Jerry'. Or we could call it 'Carry On, Partner'," David said.

The director is delighted by the response to "Partner". "It's an unqualified success across from Kanyakumari to Bihar. And second-day collections are even better than the first.

"I knew people would love Salman-Govinda jodi. But to this extent! People are going crazy over the honeymoon climax... Actually, it's a bonus climax after the other wedding climax in the film."

Tom and Jerry Movie Cast Crew Releasing Date Story Review

Tom and Jerry Cast Crew:


Directed by: David Dhawan
Produced by: Sohail Khan
Starring: Salman Khan and Govinda
Releasing date: Still not Decided
Language: Hindi
Genre: Comedy

Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn's Tom & Jerry game in Rascals

Oops, David did it again. Partner 2 has been hijacked by Rascals. Govinda's Partner 2 with Salman Khan will not happen any more, and for a very good reason. The theme of two sparring buddy-dushmans is already being done with Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt by David Dhawan in Rascals. And to have the same theme return in another avatar with Govinda and Salman seems not only repetitive but also self-defeating.

In fact the buddies-on-the-warpath theme has haunted David Dhawan's cinema forever. 

Now it can be told. David Dhawan has modelled Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn's characters in Rascals on his favourite cartoon characters Tom & Jerry. 

Apparently, the 3Ds... David, Dutt and Devgan are big Tom & Jerry fans. Says a source, "When Sanjay Dutt turned producer for the first time he was keen on David as director because David specializes in turning Tom & Jerry cartoons into desi movie experiences. Sanjay Dutt first asked David to write a screen-and-shout version of Tom & Jerry with Dutt and Ranbir Kapoor as the two warring parties. When that didn't work out, David was asked to write the two most famous cartoon combatants with Dutt and Devgn in mind. That's how Rascals was born." 

When asked David Dhawan admits the source of inspiration is Tom & Jerry. "If you look at my films, they are all inspired by the same spirit of one-upmanship...Govinda and Chunky Pandey in Aankhen, Anil Kapoor and Govinda in Deewana Mastana, Amitji and Govinda in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Govinda and Sanju (Dutt) in Haseena Maan Jayegi, Salman and Akshay Kumar in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Salman and Sohail inMaine Pyar Kyun Kiya...Sanju and Ajay in Rascals follow the same route." 

David feels Salman is best suited to such tu-tu-main-main films. Now that Partner 2 is not working out, David plans another film with Salman. "We will do something together very soon. If not Partner then something else."

Govinda and Salman get back together again

It is a known fact that Salman Khan almost single handedly lifted Govinda's down in the dumps career and brought him back in action. 

But now Salman is also making sure that Govinda is a part of almost each of his home productions. The latest development in this regards being brother Sohail Khan's co-production with UTV, Main Aur Mrs Khanna. Salman has roped in Govinda for an important cameo role in this film also starring Kareena Kapoor, Preity Zinta and Sohail Khan.

Govinda confirming this news to us said, "Yes I am now a part of Main Aur Mrs Khanna. I am confident everyone will enjoy my jodi with Salman as much as it was enjoyed in Partner. Just wait and watch!

But Govinda refused to divulge further details about his role in the film.

Our source further informs, "The entire unit will be leaving shortly for a shooting schedule in Dubai for fifteen days. Later on, director of the film, Prem Soni has also got plans to shoot a lavish song with Salman, Kareena along with Preity Zinta and Govinda in another fifteen day shooting schedule in Mumbai." 

Sohail Khan who plays an Australian NRI who has an unrequited love for Kareena Kapoor in the film had earlier told us, "It is simple and breezy film with a good blend of romance and comedy."

The film is scheduled for a February 13th, 2009 release date. Another film getting Salman and Govinda together is Salman's home production Tom and Jerry to be directed by David Dhawan.

Partner sequel has no takers

                                       

Even before the release of Partner, Salman Khan had revealed the team's plans to make a sequel, also with Govinda, called Tom and Jerry. It was hoped the two actors could turn it into a franchise with a series of Partner movies.

Although work on the scripting has begun, producer Sohail Khan is now finding it tough to get financial backing.

Producer woes
According to a source, Sohail had approached UTV with Main aur Mrs Khanna and Tom and Jerry, both for total sum of Rs 100 crore.

But then he tried to renegotiate with an additional project Kisaan�Tom and Jerry is not likely to start before September 2008, maybe even later.

Directed by Puneet Sira, Kisaan is a patriotic movie featuring Sohail and Arbaaz Khan. After weighing the pros and cons, UTV declined to take on Kisaan. So the deal fell through.

Back out
After things didn't work out with UTV , Sohail went to Studio 18. The deal was locked in with Tom and Jerry and Main aur Mrs Khanna.

But once Kisaan became a part of the package, the corporate backed out too. Now, Sohail Khan is said to be in talks with Reliance Entertainment. Meanwhile, negotiations have been re-opened with UTV .

Sohail Khan did not returns calls and text messages. Siddharth Roy Kapoor of UTV said, "We are in talks with Sohail Khan for various projects. We'll talk once everything is finalised."

Bollywood News : Partner sequel has no takers

Ajay, Sanjay are like Tom & Jerry in 'Rascals': David Dhawan

Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt have been close friends for over a decade now and 'Rascals' director David Dhawan says their chemistry helps bring out the best in the Tom & Jerry-like scenes in the upcoming comedy.

“The fact that Ajay and Sanju are such good friends is the best part of 'Rascals'. When two actors have great rapport between them, it always shows on screen. The entire give and take between Ajay and Sanju is what brings maximum laughter in the film.

“For the audience it would be fun to watch the two of them in sequences which would be akin to 'Tom & Jerry' chase. I really enjoyed working with the two of them," Dhawan said.

This isn't the first time that the duo has shared screen space. They have starred in films like 'All The Best', 'Mehbooba' and 'Tango Charlie'. Sanjay even did a voiceover for Ajay's 'Toonpur Ka Superrhero'. Moreover, they had worked with Dhawan earlier in 'Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin'.

For someone who has worked in maximum number of films with the likes of Govinda, Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor in a career spanning over two decades, Dhawan promises his audience vintage stuff with 'Rascals'.

“With Sanju and Ajay around, I got the kind of actors that my script demanded and together both of them have improvised further on the scenes. This is the kind of value that senior actors bring to your film. As a director you just need to explain the scenes to them and then they just take them to a different level altogether,” said Dhawan. Both Sanjay and Ajay established themselves as action heroes in Bollywood. Though the former has tried his hand at comedy off and on, Ajay discovered his funny bone only in the past few years.

'PARTNER' LEADS TO 'TOM AND JERRY'

The success of the recently released Salman Khan and Govinda starrer 'Partner' has convinced its producers to make its sequel sooner than late. According to sources close to David Dhawan and Sohail Khan ( producers of 'Partner'), they have already got a title registered for it. The reports indicate that the title will be 'Tom And Jerry'. Dhawan is convinced that his former actor colleague Govinda still possesses the same old charm. Though Govinda didn't fare too well in 'Bhagam Bhag' but Dhawan blames the filmmaker for it who failed to utilize Govinda's talent in his movie.
Regarding the theme of the sequel of 'Partner', Dhawan reveals that it will be based on the famous cartoon series of 'Tom And Jerry'. In this movie, love guru Salman Khan and his disciple Govinda will have a sort of love-hate relationship. Dhawan says that the script is already getting readied and the movie would be on floor before the end of this year. Incidentally, Salman has also confirmed the news that a sequel of 'Partner' would be on floor just like 'Tom And Jerry' series. Thus, David Dhawan and Salman might help Govinda reach his former status in the industry.

Salman forgives Kangana!

Friends and enemies in Bollywood are just like the Tom and Jerry tales, the new friends added in this tale are Salman Khan andKangna Ranaut. The duo have been in news from quiet a long for their on and off friendship saga.

The latest in this friend’s tale is that Salman Khan, who was very much angry with Kangna, have finally forgiven her and is giving the actress tips for marketing her latest film “Tanu Weds Manu”. The “Dabangg” hero was upset for his cameo being edited out of the film; he blamed not only director but also Kangy for this. But after all this he is helping Kangna in making marketing strategies for the film.

According to the info provided by our Khabri, both Sallu and Kangy are shooting in Bangkok for their respective films. When the two confronted each other, Kangy could not stop herself and the lady jumped upon talking with Salmaan, asking for some marketing tips.

But sweat at heart Sallu Miya went a step ahead and called few channels to garner support for Kangy dear. He asked Ashwini Yardi of Colors and Manisha of Sony to help the girl in her film’s marketing.

Well it’s definitely not wrong to say that Salmaan is the right choice for taking tips as everyone knows that his last yet latest film “Dabangg” was brilliantly marketed. We wish that the newly patched up friends do not get any kind of cold shoulders from each other, as we know that being a ‘NO’ friend to Sallu can be a loss…
