Bollywood Actress Kangana Ranaut Images 2011 – she don't rely on friendships for work

As per Kangana Ranaut Interviews, she said that, “I don’t worry about people trying to pull me down all the time. I’d like to believe that it’s only because there must be something that I’m doing right. Success here earns enemies.”

She had consecutive hits this year.

“I know where this malicious gossip comes from. But I also know that it’s not uncommon in the industry for an outsider to be treated like this.There’s so much insecurity in the industry... I know how hard it is for some to accept that an outsider with absolutely no filmi connections is catching up with them. But it’s a compliment if my peers percieve me as a threat.”

“No one may want to admit to it but the fact is that for those with film connections - whether born into it or having star boyfriends - it’s almost like they have a right to do films, but outsiders like us have to earn it and fight for it every way. So I let my work do the fighting... The rest can sit tight and do all the talking... they can snigger at me all they like.”

“Salman Khan has been extremely supportive as a friend. I don’t understand why my friendship with him would make anyone insecure.”

Bollywood News: Kangana Ranaut to play Madhubala for Anurag Basu’s next?

Hot News: Gossip columns had been abuzz with the rumours that Anurag Basu was considering Katrina Kaif to essay the role of Madhubala for his next project which happens to be a biographical film on the legendry Kishore Kumar.

While the critics totally approved that Kats was an apt choice, there does seem to be some other candidates for the role. Rumors are making rounds that Kangana Ranaut has created impressions with her beauty and performance in ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ and she is being considered for the role too.

It may be mentioned here that it was Basu who had launched Kangana in the tinsel town with ‘Gangster’. However, Kangana Ranaut and Anurag Basu had fallen out with each other when Ranaut had accused Basu in the media for slashing her role in ‘Kites’ but both seem to have made up with each other now.

While we feel that Katrina stands way ahead than Kangana in being the right choice to play Madhubala, who finally grabs the role, only time can tell………..

Kangana Ranaut shies away from wearing bikini

Kangana Ranaut was game to don a bikini for a scene in director David Dhawan’s comedy film Rascals, but backed out at the last minute. The shoot was being done in Thailand last week and the male co-stars Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan were ready for the scene in which Kangana was to emerge from the sea in nothing more than a sexybikini. Reportedly, Dhawan had discussed the scene with Kangana before and she had not just given her nod but also shopped for the bikini.

But when the time came for Kangs to slip into a two-piece she had second thoughts and refused to do the scene. Several reasons are being cited for her flip-flop. One is that she backed out after learning that in the scene Sanjay and Ajay were supposed to ogle at her. Another is that she was not comfortable in slipping into the two-piece because she has gained weight recently and did not want her flab to be seen.

Whatever the reason, we hear the shoot was stalled for hours after Kangana refused to wear the bikini despite persuasion by the director and co-stars. Not just that, she later left the Thailand shoot mid-way and flew down to Mumbai to promote her film Tanu Weds Manu.

Thankfully, the issue has now been sorted out and we hear that Kangana has at last agreed to wear the bikini.

R Madhvan Said Kiss Kangana Ranaut In Movie Tanu Weds Manu

After his smooch with Vidya Balan in Mani Ratnam’s Guru, Madhavan had said that he would not kiss on-screen again.

But in Tanu Weds Manu, the actor seems to have gone back on his words. He has done a liplock with co-star Kangna Ranaut.

In the film, he plays Manu, a guy from London who comes to India in search of a bride and falls in love with a small-town girl Tanu essayed by Kangna.

Explains director Aanand L Rai, “The sweetness of the scene required to be justified with a kiss. It’s a funny romantic situation, where Manu falls for Tanu and wants to marry her.”

However Maddy maintains, “I have not kissed in the movie!”

Apparently, the unassuming Maddy was apprehensive while shooting. He was uncomfortable puckering up his lips. Kangna, being an understanding co-star gauged his hesitation and made him comfortable.

The scene has Madhavan come to see Kangna before marriage. But she doesn’t want to marry him and turns up drunk to put him off. Yet he falls in love with her at first sight and indulges in a liplock!

Kangana reprises traumatised woman’s role in ‘Raaz’

Film: “Raaz: The Mystery Begins”;

Cast: Kangana Ranaut, Emran Hashmi, Adhyayan Suman; Director: Mohit Suri; Rating:

**A new kind of cinematic heroine was born with Kangana Ranaut in the underrated “Gangster”. Since then, she has played the dark traumatized woman baring her soul for the camera so many times that you fear her forte would burst open at the seams.


Make no mistake…”Raaz” belongs to her. As a woman possessed, she carries on this past year’s horror tradition propagated by Vikram Bhatt’s “1920″ and Ram Gopal Varma’s “Phoonk”.

Admittedly, the horror-fest in “Raaz” is created with more finesse than the other fear flicks that have invaded the large-screen in recent years. But you wonder if this kind of blind faith is not blinding filmmakers to the larger picture regarding the raison d’etre of cinema - to enlighten and educate while entertaining.

Sorry to say but “Raaz” is neither entertaining nor enlightening. And educational? Well to say that spirits exist, and not just in champagne glasses, in this day and age is going a bit too far.

“Raaz” parades a posse of perverse horrors. Often it goes brazenly overboard with faces made-up like over-boiled potatoes and ghouls attacking the horrified heroine in a thick jungle where she, and the director, have no business being.

If in “Gangster”, “Woh Lamhe” and “Fashion”, Kangana was possessed by demons from within, here the demons appear to have invaded her body from the outside, jumping at her from bathtubs and mirrors.
On the whole, the narrative relies too heavily on false scares…hands reaching out and grabbing Kangana that turn out to be known comforting ones, door knobs being wrenched from the outside with banshee-like music to create a frenzy of suspense, satanic rites and occultist acts being performed in the dead of the night.
When it comes to expressing the wages of sin, Kangana remains unsurpassable. She pulls out all stops to deliver yet another fearless performance that’s a treatise on trauma. Unlike her last act in “Fashion”, in “Raaz” she suffers from an ambiguously-written character although she occupies more space than her two leading men. Till the end, we don’t know what her actual involvement with the macabre goings-on is.
We suspect, neither does the screenwriter.
Emran Hashmi, as the sullen painter who paints harrowing scenes from Kangana’s life before they happen, brings a kind of austere urgency to his part. Looking anguished comes naturally to him. Adhyayan Suman as the reality-television anchor, who carries his penchant for staged realism too far, communicates a certain earnestness in his performance. But he has a long way to go.
Alas, “Raaz” isn’t the vehicle to take its actors too far. It’s all about making the audience jump out of its seat in horror rather than with aesthetic delight. Its cumbersome heebie-jeebies punctuated by special effects, which can at best be described as slightly scary, do nothing for the horror genre or for the actors who struggle in ill-written parts.
Director Mohit Suri has done better for himself in “Kalyug” and “Woh Lamhe”, where he addressed himself to the trauma of a woman forced into a life of reluctant disrepute. Perhaps a woman coerced is more Suri’s domain than a woman possessed.
This sequel to “Raaz” is finally worth watching for Kangana’s portrait of traumatized womanhood. An act she has mastered. But it’s time now to move on.
