One of Karan Johar’s most awaited films Khan is said to go on floors in October this year. But even before the first scene is canned we have the plot for you. A source involved with the film tells us that Khan has turned out to be Johar’s biggest Bollywood risk till date.

New Delhi, (IANS) Bollywood writer-director Muzaffar Ali, whose period film “Umrao Jaan” still stirs the souls of viewers, says nowadays no Indian director has the sensibility to make a historical epic.

“Poetry, painting, designing, writing all comes into a film, isn’t it? But it is not easy to make a film,” he said.

“Today nobody has the sensibility to make a historical epic. They lose out on the passion. To make a masterpiece, a filmmaker has to be charged with passion,” Ali told IANS in an interview.

Ali refrained from directly commenting on Ashutosh Gowariker’s period drama “Jodhaa Akbar”, which was released this month and has invited controversy over alleged distortion of facts.

But he said filmmakers should take extra care while dealing with history to avoid hurting sentiments.

“The broader objective of films is to unite human beings. It is a way of understanding humanity and its ethos. If you are not sensitive to it, it (film) is the wrong medium for you and you might end up hurting someone’s sentiments,” he said. (Read the article)

Apparently, Karisma Kapoor is quite inspired with sister Kareena’s great run at the box office and is currently reviewing scripts.

Although the actress has maintained quite a low profile since her wedding to Delhi based Sanjay Kapoor, we hear the actress might just take a plunge back into Bollywood and her comeback film might see her share screen space with her Zubeidaa co-star Rekha.

“She is seeing some scripts. As soon as she showed even a little inclination she had a lot of directors knocking at her door. But she is taking things very slowly. She wants to do a film that will actually allow her to act and not just do a film for the sake of acting. In fact she herself is not completely convinced of making a comeback,” says a close friend of the actress. (Read the article)
