"I'm not really a lesbian in The President Is Coming" - Konkona Sen Sharma

By Subhash K. Jha, January 9, 2009 - 11:26 IST

So far we thought that Konkona Sen-Sharma was following in Shabana Azmi's foot steps to play a lesbian in her new film The President Is Coming. Konkona's next two releases The President Is Coming and Luck By Chance have her pretty agog. "They aren't the usual kind of films. The President Is Coming is a very funny mock-documentary I cracked up when I was doing it." The film is Konkona's own Dostana. Her character pretends to be a lesbian to get her own way.

Konkona says, "It's a marketing strategy for the film, and I don't mind. The film's release got postponed because of 26/11. I was in Rajasthan when it happened, and was really very worried when I saw the news on TV. So, though I was lucky not to be harmed, I was shocked and disgusted…The film didn't matter at that moment. But my other film Dil Kabbaddi got released, soon after the 26/11 incident. Some people liked the film, but not too many, I admit."

Konkona was working throughout 2008, though she didn't have that many releases. "Rituparno Ghosh's Sunglass and The President Is Coming got delayed. Now I've Zoya Akhtar's Luck By Chance. Zoya had written the script so long ago. She knew what she wanted. I play a starlet. It's quite funny. My character is the lead in B-graders and is also the 'hero ki behen'. I had to keep dressing in different costumes. While one day I was a junior artiste of the 1930's, the very next day I was a nurse! Like Farhan's character, I too play a struggler in my own right."

Konkona has Luck By Chance coming out in January. "And then I go straight to Wake Up Sid in June. Both have me playing the formal female lead. But, to me the impact of the role has nothing to do with its size. Sometimes you do a film just because of the director."

"Ranbir Kapoor is a very big star" - Konkona Sen Sharma

Konkona wonders how people are going to react to her pairing with Ranbir Kapoor in Wake Up, Sid.

"I'm getting to know Ranbir a bit only now after shooting for so many months. He's warm and sweet but we both keep in our own space. He's a very big star. And also a good actor. But most impressive is the fact that he knows everything about cinema, and not just acting. In front of him, I feel like a novice. Ranbir knows about camera angles and all. In fact they even took his suggestions on camera angles. People want to see how we look together. We come from different genres of cinema."

Konkona says she has no aptitude for the technical side. "I'm an actor, and quite comfortable in that role. I don't think I've any plans of directing a film."

She's all praise for her other co-star Farhan Akhtar too. "I've known him for a while. It's hard to say Luck By Chance is his third film as an actor. He's a natural."

Tabu was supposed to do Konkona's role in Luck By Chance, just like Konkona was supposed to be the lead instead of Tabu in Mira Nair's The Namesake. Is this her way of getting even? "You're investing too much power into the actors. I had heard Tabu was to do Luck By Chance. Even Page 3 was offered to other people. I was just happy to get both. Luck By Chance is such an intricately written script. The film has a lot of soul."

Although she doesn't like talking about it, her new home done up by Pavitra Rajaram occupies much of her creative space these days. More so since she was down with a viral attack which kept her confined to home. "I got this viral flu on the sets of Ayaan Mukherjee's Wake Up Sid. We were shooting in a closed air-conditioned set. And when one person got the fever, so did everyone else. We had to take a few days off. But I'm fine now. It's basically a coming-of-age story between me and Ranbir. No point in shooting when we're not there. When you're feeling sick you look sick on camera."

Early December in 2008 Konkona moved into her new house. "I was dying to move in. It's just fifteen minutes away from where I stayed earlier. It's much more spacious and far more organized. Funny as it may sound, in my head I am still living in cottages and bastis. Even my earlier place just had stuff cluttered all over. Now I was like bowled over because I've a real dining table."

Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and UTV Motion Pictures today announced that they are all set to release its film Wake Up Sid on Oct 2, 2009. Wake Up Sid is produced by Karan Johar and distributed worldwide by UTV Motion Pictures.

Gauhar Khan-Rocket Singh- Salesman of the year

Gauhar passed the audition and has bagged a role in the Yashraj project. The project has been titled "Rocket Singh- Salesman of the year".

After Jhalak Dikla Jaa everyone has been wondering where Gauhar Khan has disappeared. But little do people know that during Jhalak, Gauhar got a call from Yashraj and she was asked to come for an audition.

The movie is a multi-starrer and also stars Ranbir Kapoor. Gauhar has been shooting continuously for the movie ever since Jhalak got over. Well that should explain her disappearance.

The girl does not let anything come in the way of her shoot. Recently Gauhar was infected with an eye infection and she had sore eyes. The doctor asked her to rest but she didn't take a break and went ahead with the shoot, though she did take precaution in the form of eye drops and dark glasses - Sampurn
