It's been years now that veteran actor Anupam Kher has been embroiled in a battle with director Samir Karnik after the latter's cheques bounced. Now a while back, Kher took to twitter expressing his dissatisfaction about the matter saying, "Producer Sameer Karnik hasn't cleared my dues even after 2yrs. Made police complaint about bounced cheques 1yr back. Nothing has Happened." Later Kher added, "Goodness towards somebody who plays a victim, can be termed as your foolishness. Have been waiting for my dues for long. #SameerKarnik". However when contacted Samir Karnik refrained from saying much, "The matter is in court. We are awaiting the verdict. After all, the court rules are court rules. We will abide by that." But when we got in touch with Anupam Kher for further details on court proceeding regarding the case he added, "Sameer owes me more than Rs. 20 lakhs. I have given him more than 2 years for the same.

Tusshar Kapoor would surely like to forget the bad memories associated with his film Chaar Din Ki Chandni directed by Samir Karnik. Even though Tusshar did an earnest job in the film, the experience of working with Samir is something the actor wouldn't want to repeat again.

It may be recalled that Tusshar had earlier filed a case against Samir Karnik for non-payment of Rs. 1.75 crore which he had given him as a loan to promote the film. Now it seems the actor finds himself in another mess as a cheque of Rs. 36 lakhs given to him by as part payment of his remuneration has also bounced.

The actor is left with no option but to once again take legal action against Samir Karnik. He has even lodged a complaint against the filmmaker at the Cine Artistes Association.

With close to 50 crores in its kitty, Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum is now seeing an end of its theatrical run. With a 'hit' tag firmly place on it, this has turned out to be yet another good money spinner for Ekta Kapoor. Meanwhile leading man Tusshar Kapoor is happy with the kind of distance that Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum has managed to cover for itself. In the process it has also managed to wipe away the disappointment of Chaar Din Ki Chandni, his solo release of the year, which didn...

Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardar has generated much curiosity, and no wonder press and electronic media are abuzz with the latest happenings about this star studded film. Directed by Ashwini Dheer, the film stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Mukul Dev, Juhi Chawla, Sonakshi Sinha and Vindoo Singh. The film will be another back-to-back comedy outing for Mukul Dev, who was much appreciated for his wacky comedy in the just released Chaar Din Ki Chandni. In fact it was Mukul who had informe...

It seems that actor Tusshar Kapoor, whose last film Chaar Din Ki Chandni failed miserably at the box office, seems to have learnt to shoulder the blame for the poor performance of his films. Talking about his film career Tusshar says, "I never blamed my audience for not liking my films. I made bad choices and finally I had to pull up my socks. At the same time, the best part is that the year 2011 was a good year; I enjoyed critical success with Shor In The City and then of cou...

The media had a candid round of questionaire with the director-producer Samir Karnik, the ravishing Kulraj Randhawa and Vice President of Verve Motion Plus - Prashant Mishra who also the film.s distributor in Hong Kong.There were talks mainly about the lavish red carpet premiere the film has in Hong Kong on March 10th which has been organized by Kkings Entertainment Limited in association with Verve Motion Plus Private Limited.It is the first time ever that a Red Carpet grand scale premiere is being held for a Bollywood movie in Hong Kong. Also it.s the very first time that a Hindi feature film has been released in multiplexes with digital format in Hong Kong and this entire initiative has been taken up Verve Motion Plus and Kkings Entertainment Limited.

It seems Vidya Balan.s success with challenging roles like in The Dirty Picture and Kahaani has tempted other actresses to pick out-of-the-box roles. Kulraj Randhawa happens to be one such example.Kulraj, whose latest film Chaar Din Ki Chandni hit theatres this Holi, says she wants to concentrate on taking up challenging roles..If an actor gets challenging roles then there is nothing better than that. So, of course Vidya Balan has done great work in Kahaani and The Dirty Picture. There is a lot of space for good actors and good talent. So, I look forward to do some good performance-oriented roles,. she said.For now, the 28-year-old is excited about the premiere of Chaar Din Ki Chandni in Hong Kong Saturday evening. She says it is perhaps the first-ever Bollywood film to be premiered there..It.s a very good feeling that our film will be premiered in Hong Kong.

I was extremely wary of watching this movie. Except for a couple of trailers and songs, the only little information I had was that it’s Tusshar Kapoor’s solo-hero project. That limited knowledge did not warrant for a theatre watch. The makers had not succumbed to marketing gimmicks, the films promotional appearances were far and few. Samir Karnik’s whose last flick Yamla Pagala Deewana was a moderately successful yet ludicrous outing; banking on Deol strength, returns with a similar feel sticking to the familiar recipe.

The story set in Rajasthan, of Maharaja CV Singh (Anupam Kher) who when not being pompous of his ‘royal’ heritage, threatens to shoot anyone who crosses him. Adding to the royal tomfoolery are CV’s four sons each characterized by idiosyncrasies – lecherous ‘choli’ leering pervert (Mukul Dev), hot-tempered with a passion for arms (Sushant Singh), alcoholic (Chandrachur Singh) and Harish.

Anand died.In 2005, Nitin Manmohan, the producer of Dus, released another version of Dus in which Sanjay and Shilpa from the original cast were roped in and it was directed by Anubhav Sinha.

This week witnesses an interesting clash between Sujoy Ghosh's Vidya Balan starrer, Kahaani, and the Sameer Karnik directed Tusshar and Kulraj starrer, Chaar Din Ki Chandni. As things stand, Kahaani is likely to score with the elite metro audience, more so in Mumbai, Delhi, Madras and Kolkata while Chaar Din Ki Chandni with its colourful and sparkling promos may well be preferred by the younger audience. If one has to choose the front runner it is going to be Kahaani due to multip...

Mumbai, March 4: Actor Tusshar Kapoor, who has turned co-producer with "Chaar Din Ki Chandni", has paid his maiden visit to Amritsar's Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest shrine.

"Just visited the Golden Temple for the first time in my life!! What an experience," the 35-year-old tweeted Sunday.

Tusshar, who is still struggling to make a mark in Bollywood, will be next seen playing lead role in the movie directed by Samir Karnik. Releasing Friday, the film also stars Kulraj Randhawa as his love interest.

It's final. The Dirty Picture jodi of Vidya Balan and Tusshar Kapoor would be clashing with each other next weekend. With Kahaani and Chaar Din Ki Chandni's arrival on the same day becoming inevitable, the next obvious question was whether both films will aim at arriving a day earlier on Thursday and take advantage of the festive occasion of 'Holi'. As has turned out though, only Chaar Din Ki Chandni is doing that while Kahaani makers are sure that it would be a regular Friday release for them.

"Yes, there were always talks to bring Chaar Din Ki Chandni a day earlier. This way it would be able to benefit from a 'chaar din ka' long weekend since in almost all parts of the country, Thursday is a holiday and people are expected to stay home on Friday as well", comments a source attached to the film.

Tusshar Kapoor who plays the character of a Sardar in his forthcoming movie Chaar Din Ki Chandni decided to sport the look of the Sardar at the promotional event of the movie recently and ended up being pushed and shoved by the bouncers of his co-star Kulraj Randhawa..

Tusshar and Kulraj were to unveil the hoarding of their movie in Andheri, when he turned up in his get up of Pappi Sardar.

Tusshar confirmed the story and blamed the organisers.

Ajay Devgn, who rarely does any special appearances or any voice overs, will be doing the voice over for the second time in Samir Karnik’s Tusshar Kapoor starrer Chaar Din Ki Chandni. Incidentally, the first time he did, was also for Karnik’s Yamla Pagla Deewana.

Karnik says, “Ajay Devgn did the voice over for our last film Yamla Pagla Deewana and it turned out to be a hit. I have high regards for him. Ajay has a fabulous voice. He comes in the opening sequence of the film and introduces the characters and setting.”

After the success of Yamla Pagla Deewana, Samir Karnik is now ready with his next directorial venture Chaar Din Ki Chandni for release on 8th March 2012. The film stars Tusshar Kapoor, Kulraj Randhawa, Anupam Kher, Om Puri, Johny Lever, Mukul Dev, Anita Raj, Sushant Singh and Chandrachur Singh and others.

Jaipur, Feb 27: Actress Kulraj Randhawa made good use of her free time while shooting "Chaar Din Ki Chandni" in Rajasthan - she caught up on Hollywood classics available in the library of their hotel.

"The library was amazing and had a really good collection of classic Hollywood films. I got to see many films like 'Godfather', 'Gone With the Wind', 'Wuthering Heights' and 'It's A Wonderful Life' all over again after my shoots," said Kulraj who started her career on the small screen with the comedy show "Kareena Kareena".

Her first big screen project was "Yamla Pagla Deewana". In "Chaar Din Ki Chandni", she will be seen.

Kulraj Randhawa has claimed that her character in Chaar Din Ki Chandni is not based on any other actress. The star will be taking on the title role in the ensemble comedy opposite Tusshar Kapoor. Randhawa told The Times of India: "Chandni had to be loveable yet not irritating. She is innocent yet funny, witty and sharp. So while I had to strike the right balance, I didn't want to overact either. "Also, I didn't ape any actress who has played a similar role in (more)...

Mumbai, Feb 22: Tusshar Kapoor, who is still struggling to make a mark in Bollywood, is now following sister Ekta Kapoor's footsteps - he has turned co-producer with "Chaar Din Ki Chandni" and says it's all for money.

Tusshar told to Ians: "I have turned co-producer just for the greed for money as I am not being paid too much for the film. It's a solo and it's a huge discount for me as an actor. I agreed because I got to work with a hit director and actor. It makes the two ends meet, so I had to compensate."

Directed by Samir Karnik, "Chaar Din Ki Chandni" stars Tusshar and Kulraj Randhawa in the lead roles and it is scheduled to release March 8. Unlike investing money through his sister Ekta's banner Balaji Telefilms, Tusshar.

She hails from a musical dynasty family and says that she feels she was always meant to be a singer. Her first big break was at age 12 when she sang for the Ost of Mohabbatein and from then on she has worked with some of the best music directors both in the Hindi and South film industries. Not only recording for the films as a playback singer, she is also the lead singer on Ar Rahman’s world tour. We are talking about the fabulous Shweta Pandit. She has been the voice on some hit tunes and most recently you have heard her wonderful vocals on the Mere Brother Ki Dulhan soundtrack on both ‘Madhubala’ and ‘Do Dhaari Talwaar’ and ‘Thug Le’ from Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. Stacey got the exciting opportunity to quiz her on many different aspects about being a singer in the film industry and boy did...

After the blockbuster success of Yamla Pagla Deewana, director Samir Karnik has once again called upon the internationally acclaimed urban music band Rdb along with the band’s latest music sensation Parichay to repeat their musical hit-pair success story for his forthcoming film Chaar Din Ki Chandni starring Tusshar Kapoor and Kulraj Randhawa, releasing 9th March 2012.

Rdb, who have previously composed tracks for hit Bollywood films such as Namastey London, Singh is Kinng, Kambakkht Ishq, Yamla Pagla Deewana and Speedy Singhs, have produced the track ‘Chandni Oh Meri Chandni’ – a new version of the 1990’s chartbuster Chandni – for Chaar Din Ki Chandni. The lead vocals of the new version are by the multi-talented international music artist Parichay of Yamla Pagla Deewana fame, and Sunidhi Chauhan. The remixed version of the track is sung by Parichay and Bollywood songstress Nindy Kaur, famed for her edgy urban-bhangra infused songs and her collaborations...

A new uninhibited Sridevi has suddenly emerged from the self imposed exilic cocoon. And the new Sridevi is spilling out on the streets. On Tuesday evening, Sridevi brought all traffic to a screeching halt in Juhu when she jumped out of her car carrying her enormous entourage -and that included her husband and decided to beat the traffic by hotfooting it to the venue of the music release of Chaar Din Ki Chandni where her old co-star Rishi Kapoor was patiently waiting for his Chandni to show up. Says a source, "It was a shocker to all of us to see the Goddess marching towards us, the waiting expectant devotees of the devastating deity, with Boney huffing and puffing after her." Explains the source, "Sridevi and Boney were stuck in traffic. Rishi Kapoor had reached well in time at the venue, the Novotel hotel. In fact he was one of...

One of the highlights of Samir Karnik's forthcoming film Chaar Din Ki Chandni about love, courtship, ched-chaad, shaadi naach-gana and band-baaja-baraat is a remixed version of the title song from Yash Chopra's 1989 romantic blockbuster Chandni. 'Chandni O Meri Chandni ' was sung by Sridevi and Jolly Mukherjee, and filmed on 'Chandni' Sridevi and her screen-suitor Rishi Kapoor. It went on to become a runaway hit. Now, in what appears to be a master-stroke of nostalgic homage, director Karnik has managed to get the original Chandni pair Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor to release the music of Chaar Din Ki Chandni at a suburban hotel in Mumbai on Wednesday evening. Rishi and Sridevi who were paired in the blockbusters Nagina and Chandni have not come together since they were paired last in the flop Kaun Sacha Kaun Jhootha in 1997. Rishi and Sridevi are expected to do a...

When Tusshar Kapoor was roped in for Chaar Din Ki Chandni, its director Samir Karnik had one basic requirement - he wanted him to look, talk, act and behave as a 'hero' in the film. Since this is also one of the rare solo starrers for Tusshar, there was no padding available from any other actor which means the actor had to take the mantle and lead from the front."Tusshar's name adds good weight when it comes to multi-starrer films, case in point being Golmaal series or other s...

Playing a Sardar in a Bollywood film is definitely the 'in' thing. Akshay Kumar started it all, Saif Ali Khan joined in as well, Salman Khan played one in Heroes and Ranbir Kapoor in Rocket Singh. Going by the current fad, Ajay Devgn is all set to play a sardar in his upcoming film Son Of Sardar. Not only Devgn, but the most unsuspecting Tusshar Kapoor is also happy to wear a pagdi in his next release - Chaar Din Ki Chandni.
