Ash's performance is mind-blowing By Manissha Despaande, Bollywood Trade News Bureau glamsham.com
Send Aishwarya Rai EcardsDirector Jagmohan Mundhra has clarified that Raju Kher's WOW, has no similarity whatsoever to his forthcoming Aishwarya starrer, PROVOKED, based on Kiranjitsingh Alhuwalia's life. "It is ridiculous that people are drawing parallels between the two films without knowing their stories. The fact is that PROVOKED is a story on marital abuse based on Kiranjit Alhuwalia's A CIRCLE OF LIGHTS, of which we acquired the exclusive rights. On the other hand, from what I know of WOW, the film tells the story of three girls who go to London to pursue their dream of starting their own music band. Anupam Kher helps them fulfill their dream and offers them shelter at his home. The similarity is only to the extent that one of the three girls in WOW has a story of marital discord. I am surprised that no one has bothered to check out the facts either with me or Kher's office before writing about it," Mundhra reveals. Mundhra recently wrapped up the shooting of the film and is now in Chennai with A. R. Rahman, who is doing the background score for the Download Aishwarya Rai Wallpapersfilm. In fact, according to Mundhra, Rahman was among the first few people besides Aishwarya Rai's father, who saw the film and were totally impressed with her performance in it. "She has given a truly exemplary performance. There's no trace of the Miss World and not even an iota of self-consciousness in her effortless performance. Music director Rahman was all admiration for her performance but the biggest compliment for Aishwarya was from her father, who was so engrossed in the film that he almost forgot that it was his daughter who was performing on screen," Mundhra recalled. PROVOKED is being lined up for a mid-November release, according to Mundhra. "We are looking at a huge international release for the film in conjunction with the distributors," he says. "We neglect our cities at our peril. For, in neglecting them, we neglect the nation." -John F. Kennedy ------------------------ Yahoo!
