Celina Jaitly, a vocal advocate of women’s and children’s safety, is aghast at the abuse of two little girls in Badlapur. “The Legislation alone will not bring sufficient impact unless awareness and public attitudes are changed,” she said. “Unless there is a rapid change in our judicial system and a quick redress system in place, the perpetrators would have no fear of the law and will continue their shameful acts without remorse.

Although the feisty Neena Gupta worked with the best of directors in the early part of her career, she feels accepting small parts was a mistake. “I have worked with Mr. (Shyam) Benegal, Mr Kundan Shah, I have worked with many, many filmmakers, but at that time with them I got only smaller roles.

Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! was not all fun and games. At least not for Anupam Kher. The actor recalled, “It was during that pass-the -pillow. The shooting of that was about to start. It was the first day and I woke up to the twisted mouth I had no idea. The previous night Anil Kapoor’s wife Sunita during a dinner at their home, told me that you are not blinking from one eye. She told me to go to a doctor a neuro-specialist at that time in Bombay Hospital and when I went to doctor, he started medication and told me to stop all work-related activity for two months. Yes, that was the first day of this twenty-day schedule, the set was erected, all the cast was there and everything.” He continued, “After the doctor’s diagnosis, I came out sat in the car and I thought if I go home and rest for two months and don't shoot, that means a complete defeat.

Renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has once again shared his candid views on the unpredictable nature of the film industry. Using the contrasting examples of the blockbuster The Kerala Story and its subsequent, largely ignored sequel, Bastar: The Naxal Story, RGV spoke about the unpredictability of audience reception.
