Mimoh Chakraborty in JIMMY 08




It was the era of Mithun Chakraborty where the actor danced to various disco tracks and was very famously known as Jimmy and Disco Dancer. And to his fate he has his son Mimoh Chakraborty following his footsteps and had started off with many aspirations in Bollywood to be like his father.

The music was introduced in the market on 31st March 2008 at The Ultimate, Mumbai.

The music has some jazzy beats in it with Mimoh dancing to the rocky tunes. Mimoh, son of Mithun is all set to make his mark in Bollywood with a newcomer Vivana.

Everybody seems to enjoy the music of the film and to encourage Mimoh was present heartthrob Salman Khan who supported Mimoh with his presence. Mimoh couldn’t make it to the music launch as he is busy shooting for his further ventures. But to represent the lead pair was present debutant actress Vivana who seemed to be pretty excited and wished for some leniency for being a newcomer.

The amazing music is composed by music director Anand Raj Anand with guest composer Bappa lahiri. Bappi Lahiri was also present at the event with Anand Raj Anand and Shakti Kapoor playing a guest appearance in the film.

Well the excitement was on with the presence of Salman and of course the film is on everyone’s mind especially Mithun looked very proud for Mimoh taking his first step towards his dreams.



Ranbir Kapoor to Charlie Chaplin



If Ranbir Kapoor is being seen as the true inheritor of the Kapoor legacy, it is with reason. In his debut film Saawariya a major part of Ranbir's personality was patterned on Raj Kapoor. And now Raj Kumar Santoshi who sees a special spark in the Saawariya star is getting ready to take Ranbir's acting ancestry to another level.

In Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani Ranbir plays the melancholy lover-boy hopelessly in love with the idea of being in love. The character was immortalized by Raj Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker and before him, Chaplin in City Lights. Ranbir in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani plays 'Prem' a true inheritor of the two imperishable heroes from the past. Says Santoshi, "I decided Ranbir was the right actor for my film from the time I saw Saawariya. He plays Prem an innocent guy with a heart of gold. Yes there will be distinct elements of Charlie Chaplin and Raj Kapoor, though not too much of it. Raj Saab has already done it all in Sri 420 and it would look repetitive. Also, that level of political and sexual innocence would look odd in present times. Let's say Ranbir plays the Charlie Chaplin and Raj Kapoor of our times."

Santoshi fondly recalls the experience of working with Ranbir's father. "In my Damini Rishi Kapoor played a really difficult role…of a man caught between his duties towards his family and society. Though Rishi didn't have an author-backed role in Damini, what a beautiful job of he did." Ranbir on the other hand not only has the title role in Ajab Prem… his character also gets to go through a series of life-changing experiences. "Ranbir takes interest in every aspect of the film. He's a keen student if cinema. His enthusiasm for cinema goes much beyond his role. I know I'll enjoy my shooting with him. But beyond that I'm right now enjoying interacting with him," adds Santoshi. In the next two months, Santoshi will be doing a first-look photo session between Ranbir and Katrina Kaif. "We'll also be sitting on the costumes because the clothes are a very important part of the story. We start shooting the film only when Ranbir returns from his long foreign schedule of the Yashraj Film," informs Santoshi.

Being a full-on love story Pritam is doing the music score of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. "I've been watching Pritam's growth as a musician. And I can't think of anyone else for this project," says Santoshi who has earlier worked with the likes of A R Rahman.
