Saif to endorse Image eyewear?

Saif Ali Khan is someone who spells Class with a capital C. Having the illustrious (late) Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi for a father and the eternally gorgeous Sharmila Tagore for a mother, Saif has indeed inherited elegance, style, elan and how.

All of this indeed makes this Khan dude a red hot property, not just in Bollywood, but also in the ad world! After having endorsed almost all the possible products under the sun, right from paints, tea, shampoos, potato chips, cell phones etc. reliable sources say that Saif Ali Khan has been now signed up as brand ambassador for Image eyewear.
Saif Ali Khan got Bullet Raja because of his sister Soha

For the first time Saif Ali Khan and Sonakshi Sinha will be seen together in director Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Bullet Raja! The two actors are in Kolkata to shoot for few important parts of the film.

However, what many do not know is that Saif’s sister, Soha Ali Khan was pivotal in him being chosen for the film. While Soha was working with Tigmanshu in Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, the filmmaker told her about a script in which he wants to cast Saif in it. He asked her if she could arrange a meeting. Soha then spoke to Saif and told him about her conversation with Tigmanshu and asked him to meet the director once!

“Soha and Dhulia had become friends while doing the film. Dhulia asked her if she could talk to Saif about his script. Saif, too, had asked Soha to tell him about some good directors, because he wants to work with talented directors in his production company,” says a source.

“The filmmaker narrated the script to Saif and the actor agreed to do the film,” adds the source.

Considering the previous success of director Tigmanshu, Bullet Raja is being highly anticipated. Let us wait and watch whether the movie is going to reach expectations.
Saif to launch Kareena's cousin Armaan

Saif Ali Khan will be launching Kareena Kapoor's cousin Armaan Jain, son of Randhir Kapoor's sister Reema Jain, in Bollywood.

Armaan will be launched in a film that will be produced by Saif's production house, Illuminati Films. While the film itself is said to be a love story, it will be directed by Imtiaz Ali's brother Arif. However, the female lead for the said film is yet to be finalized as are the other members of the cast.
Sonakshi Sinha and Saif Ali Khan start shooting for Bullet Raja

Its always interesting to know about new pairings in the industry. Because if they work, they work wonders! And now, for the first time Saif Ali Khan and Sonakshi Sinha will be seen together in director Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Bullet Raja! The two actors are in Kolkata to shoot for few important parts of the film.

Director Tigmanshu Dhulia said about Saif’s character in the film, “He is gone completely under the character. He will surprise everyone with his look.” Bullet Raja is a UP based gangwar movie and Saif Ali Khan will be seen as a hardcore UPwala. The transformation is something we need to look out for.

Sonakshi hasn’t been part of any of the bits that have been shot till now. However, she has now joined the crew and shooting is going in with full vigour! Before the shoot started, Sonakshi had mentioned that she was excited to be working the Saif Ali Khan.

“It’s a very fresh pairing and I am looking forward to work with Saif Ali Khan. I actually wanted to work with him for quite some time, and luckily got an opportunity with ‘Bullet Raja’. I am extremely excited to work with Saif,” said Sonakshi Sinha.

Saif dismissed any consideration of similarities between Bullet Raja and Saif’s earlier movie Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara. He said that even though both the movies were similar in setting, they were completely different.

Tigmanshu Dhulia’s recent venture, Paan Singh Tomar, was a critical and comemrcial success and owing to that, Bullet Raja is garnering huge expectation.
Race 2 Movie Review

After the critically-panned Players (2012), director duo Abbas-Mastan have returned with Race 2, the sequel to the hit 2008 release Race. The only two actors to return for the second installment are Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor. The rest of the cast are fresh, and include big names like John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ameesha Patel. Though Race was not an outstanding film, it was certainly more thrilling to watch compared to Race 2, which is lacklustre and unmemorable. Read on to find out why.

Race 2 sees Ranveer Singh (Saif Ali Khan) setting out to get revenge for the murder of his girlfriend Sonia (played by Bipasha Basu, who makes a brief cameo appearance in this film after having played a greater role in Race). As he is setting out to do this, Ranveer engages in illicit deals, gambling and crime with Armaan Malik (John Abraham). He is also seen romancing Armaan’s half-sister Elena (Deepika Padukone) and flirting with his girlfriend Omisha (Jacqueline Fernandez). Ranveer is also reunited with his good friend RD (Anil Kapoor) and his new assistant Cherry (Ameesha Patel). The film has various twists and turns which results in Ranveer and Armaan becoming enemies by the second half. They then battle it out to see who will go onto win the ‘race’ to the finish line.

The film has been shot in exotic and beautiful locations like Istanbul, Antalya and Cyprus and also contains all the wealth and glamour you can imagine. Yet the script is not as exciting and creative as the first installment. Hence this makes Race 2 both boring and mind-boggling to watch. A number of the action sequences were enjoyable to see, but some of them were not as nicely done, especially the shots which you see during the climax. Abbas-Mastan have invested so much money in beautifying a film like Race 2, and this is visible when you watch it from start to finish. Yet you are left feeling that the entertainment factor was not really there. Some scenes were pleasant, but when you set out to watch an action-oriented film, you expect nothing but three things: entertainment, entertainment and entertainment! Sorry to disappoint you guys, but Race 2 is a film that is lacking in entertainment, which is unusual since the first instalment was more adrenaline-fuelled and contained better twists and action sequences.

Both Saif Ali Khan and John Abraham largely carry the weight of this film on their shoulders. They did a very good job in essentially keeping the film alive for everyone. However, you cannot say this about Deepika Padukone, who was honestly tedious to watch. After having delivered an amazing performance in Cocktail (2012), Deepika is reduced to playing a character who is just there to look sexy and glamorous. There was no real depth to her character and hence, her performance in Race 2 is arguably one of the worst she has delivered so far in her career. Both Jacqueline Fernandez and Ameesha Patel give decent performances, though their presence in the film was not as great as it could have been. Anil Kapoor was endearing to watch as the fruit-obsessed RD and some of the scenes he partakes in do make you laugh. Yet none of these performances are memorable in the long term. This is mainly due to the script, which required more spice in order to make the characters more intriguing to watch.

The soundtrack by Pritam is satisfactory, but not as flavoursome compared to the first installment. Songs like ‘Be Intehaan,’ ‘Party on my Mind’ and ‘Lat Lag Gaye’ are catchy, but they are not really that remarkable and the picturizations to them are also weak. Pritam only shows a tad of his talents with this one and thus, this makes the soundtrack to Race 2 quite average overall.
