‘India’s Got Talent’ is going to be unlike any other talent hunt show

The producers of reality show ‘India’s Got Talent’, the Hindi adaptation of ‘America’s Got Talent’, are left in the lurch as neither Preity Zinta nor Aishwarya Rai have time to be part of the show.

Talent hunt reality shows are hugely popular with the Indian audience. And many stars have marked their small screen debut via these shows. Recently, Karisma Kapoor and Sonali Bendre added oomph to the small screen by being judges on such shows. Koena Mitra decided to be part of reality dance show ‘Jhalak Dikhla Ja’ to not only revive her sagging career but also improve her PR.

‘India’s Got Talent’ is going to be unlike any other talent hunt show. Here, like the American version, participants have to showcase their skills. It’s not only about singing and dancing, but stand-up comedy and various other talents will also be judged.

Now after Preity and Aishwarya’s no, the channel is on the lookout for a big star who can be the USP of the show.

Aishwarya Work With Vishal

Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan and Vishal Bhardwaj are finally getting together after many false starts .

The project will go into production at the end of the year.
Says Aishwarya, “Vishal and I have wanted to work together ever since he was the music composer on a project that got shelved. We had promised one another that I’d start in his film whenever he turned director. ”
Right after his directorial debut in the children’s film Makdee Vishal had offered Aishwarya a film called Timbuctoo . That got shelved.
Laughs Aishwarya, “I was very impressed by Vishal’s work. But he insisted that we’ll work together only when he finds the absolutely right project. That has finally happened. Vishal has bounced the script off me. And we both feel this is the right project for us to come together.”

Ash-Akshay in 'Benjamin Butler'

Oscar-nominated Brad Pitt’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button which sank without a trace, but you can expect the romantic Akshay-Ash starrer Action Replay to be a hit at the box office.

To start with, the film is one of Bollywood’s best kept secrets this year, especially because it brings Akki and Ash together again after their sensational pairing in Khakhi. Then, just as Brad Pitt does in Benjamin Button, Akshay goes through a reverse ageing process in Action Replay. The films starts with him at the age of 62 and goes on to show him becoming 26. From being a father, Akshay grows to be a fashionable young dude of the swinging 70s with bell bottoms and wide belts. The script of Action Replay was ready before Brad Pitt’s film released. The cinema world’s best make-up specialists, led by Paul Pattison (Braveheart and Mission Impossible 2), are being used to give shape to this ambitious film. Film-maker Vipul Shah begins shooting this month and is expected to release Action Replay around November or December when Shah Rukh Khan’s My Name is Khan and Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots are slated to hit the screens. "What we are attempting is very ambitious and it hasn’t happened in Indian cinema before" Vipul told BT.

"The film is an out-and-out romantic comedy but reversing time is the challenging element. We’re putting in a lot of effort to pull off this one. We have to keep improvising on our content and technical abilities all the time".
