Shahid Kapoor will do some unique dancing in Mausam Milenge Milenge Movie Stills New Photos

If it's a Shahid Kapoor film, there must be some heavy duty dancing. Or so it seems, going by the way the music in his father's directorial debut Mausam has been moulded to accommodate Shahid's dancing shoes.
According to a source very close to the project, the film's aesthetically-inclined director Pankaj Kapoor had initially planned an exclusive heavily melody-based music score based only ragas.
In fact, Pritam Chakraborty who's doing the music score in Mausam has just recorded a raga-based love melody in the voice of Rashid Khan.
Says Pritam, "It was meant to be only a small music piece. But when Pankaj-ji heard the tune he wanted it as a full-fledged song."
Pritam admits the music in Mausam would be heavily melodious in the tradition of the great love stories down the ages fromBobby to Love Story to Ek Duje Ke Liye to Saawariya.
But now just days after Pritam recorded the raga-based number comes the news that a specially-designed dance track will be put together for Mausam.
A source close to the project who doesn't want to be named says, "There was closed-door meeting between the producers, the director and Shahid Kapoor. It was unanimously decided that there would be a very unique song-and-dance. It was felt that Mausam was too expensive a project to make it seem even slightly experimental in flavour."
Says the film's producer Sheetal Talwar, "We don't want to disappoint Shahid's target audience, the young fans. So yes, Shahid will dance after all."
Shahid's buddy Ahmed Khan is now busy trying to accommodate the dance into his crammed diary. He has no choice. Shahid has to dance.

Shahid Kapoor miss playing cricket on the road
Though stardom has given the actor the much needed spotlight and quite a fan following among girls, he does think that there are certain things he misses in his life, terribly that is. "I miss just taking a walk or playing cricket on the road. I also miss having panipuri at public places. But I don't complain," he adds.
Though doing an ad for a fairness cream has invited criticism from many quarters, he has his own stance on it. "The ad is about how men should take care of their persona and groom themselves. And Indian men have this perception that they should never groom themselves since they are men," he says.
He has been very protective about his younger brother Ishaan. Does he want him to follow in his footsteps? "I don't want to talk about him as it's not apt for him to see things being written about him or his pictures in newspapers. He should grow up like a normal boy,"
Since the time he has made his debut in Hindi films, there have been countless occasions when it has been said that he looks very young and doesn't fit in many characters. How does he take such comments? "It's all to do with success and failures. Look at Zac Effron abroad he is such a big star and he is merely 22. It's all about doing your work diligently and with passion," Shahid says.
From his lover boy image, he went through a sea change as an actor with Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey. What does he plan to do next? "I want to do a fun film next. Be it Kaminey or Paathshala, I have done serious stuff of late. I want to do a young film now," he replies.
What about Mausam, his father Pankaj Kapur's directorial debut? "I am very excited since I will be working with my father at the helm of affairs," he ends.

Shahid Kapoor Mausam clouded by ash
By Subhash K. Jha
Mumbai, May 21 (IANS) The ash clouds, which are hovering over Europe, are playing havoc with Pankaj Kapoor's directorial debut "Mausam" that stars his son Shahid in the main lead.
The film was meant to start with a brief schedule last month in Scotland but ash-clouds enveloped the European skies and the schedule had to be cancelled in the hope that the "Mausam" team will make up for lost time in the next schedule.
However, Shahid and his father's proposed travel plans to Scotland this week had to be cancelled again because of the ash clouds.
The "Mausam" crew was booked to travel to Edinburgh May 16. For the second time their trip was cancelled. Shahid and his father are now scheduled to fly to Scotland Saturday.
Meanwhile, Shahid is just chilling. "I'm just chilling with family and friends. There's no point worrying about things that are out of one's control," he said.

Anupam Kher joins Shahid Kapoor in Mausam
By Subhash K Jha
Mumbai, May 19 (IANS) Anupam Kher has agreed to feature in Shahid Kapoor starrer "Mausam" and says the fact that his good friend Pankaj Kapoor is directing the film was a good enough reason for him to give his nod for the project.
"I'm yet to get a clear indication of my role. But the fact that Pankaj is directing is enough incentive for me," said Anupam, 55, who will join the "Mausam" team in Edinburgh, Britain.
"I'm very fond of him (Pankaj) as an actor and as a human being. And I also like his son Shahid a lot. In fact, in his brief career I've played Shahid's father thrice (in 'Vivah', 'Dil Bole Hadippa' and 'Badmaash Company')."
This time, though, Anupam isn't playing Shahid's father. It is apparently the role that Pankaj had earmarked for himself. Now with direction proving a full-time occupation, Pankaj would rather concentrate on direction and let others do the acting.
However, the dates for "Mausam" are still being worked out.
Meanwhile, Anupam flies out to the Lake District in England for a walk-on talkathon on the BBC's prestigious business talk show "Peschardt's People". The internationally known host Michael Peschardt is known for grilling entertainers, academician and others on his show. From India, N. Narayana Murthy, Vijay Mallya and Amitabh Bachchan have appeared on his show.
"I like representing our country on international platforms. Specially on a non-film platform. I think I've moved ahead of being just an actor," Anupam said.

Shahid Kapoor BADMAASH COMPANY has alcoholic Meiyang Chang!
Shahid Kapur’s upcoming flick ‘Badmaash Company’, which has Indian Idol winner Meiyang Chang as one of the four friends(other three being Shahid Kapur, Anushka Sharma and Vir Das), will show him as Chang who is habitual of alcohol and eventually turns against the other three friends of the company, causing heartburn and downfall of the friends.
Meiyang Chang, who can not take alcohol in real life due to some medical problem, had to depend for the shooting on his past college experience when he would drink with friends on social occasions. In consonant with his Sikkim origin, Meiyang Chang will be seen in the film as a character coming from the North Eastern part of India who can speak fluent Hindi.
Meiyang’s stints with Indian Idol, and later his association with the hosting of Indian Premier League (IPL) matches, certainly helped him here. Parmeet Sethi, the director who is making his debut with this Yashraj production, wanted someone fresh- faced but with good command over Hindi and Meiyang fully fitted the bill.
The film has Shahid Kapur in the main lead, who is from a middle class background but achieves prominence after grouping with his other three friends. Anushka Sharma plays the love interest of Shahid Kapur.
‘Badmaash Company’ is all set to be released on May 7 and also expected to rescue Yashraj Films out of doldrums and negativity which has been plaguing it due to a series of flops like ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’( starring Shahid Kapur and Rani Mukerji). This is also second film of Anushka Sharma with the banner after making her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’.
Even Shahid Kapur needs a big hit to salvage his reputation at the box office after the debacle of ‘Chance Pe Dance’ and ‘Hadippa’.

Shahid Kapoor salvages reputation with Badmaash Company
The film marks a reversal of fortunes for Shahid who has featured in a string of box office failures with Dil Bole Hadippa!, Chance Pe Dance and Paathshala.
The film also marks a welcome respite for Yash Raj Films, the production company that seems to have lost its magic touch.
Badmaash Company will succeed at the Box Office not because it is a brilliant film, but because it was made with realistic expectations and a reasonable budget of Rs 26 crore.
The film grossed Rs 13.5 crore over its first weekend according to figures released by Box office India. Most multiplex theatres reported occupancy of 60-70%. It held ground on Monday with collections dropping by 55% over Sunday.
The film is expected to gross over 20 crore in its first week.
With the next big release, Kites, scheduled to hit theatres on May 21, Badmaash Company is expected to overtake the Rs 30 crore mark, thanks to Shahid Kapoor's draw and a youthful theme.
