‘Glad to be a part of Bhatt camp’
Intense subjects intertwined with erotic elements are often at the core of movies from the Bhatt camp. Vidya Balan, who features in their forthcoming production Hamari Adhuri Kahani, says she never thought she would do a film under the banner. “I never thought I would work with Vishesh Films because their films are very different. I was thrilled when I got the part,” Vidya said.
It is an intense love story which is inspired by the life of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's parents. Vidya is happy to do a romantic film after a long time. “I have not done a love story after Parineeta but this is an intense love story. I am glad that I am a part. It is very special for me in many ways. One of the reason is Mahesh Bhatt saab. He gave up direction before I became an actor,” said Vidya.

Actress and social activist Shabana Azmi spent a lot of time rummaging through Mumbai's street markets for her forthcoming project Chalk n Duster. The veteran, who plays the role of a teacher in the film, went on a shopping spree to fulfil her character's requirements. Shabana bought bindis and bangles while out shopping on the streets of Andheri, Bandra and Churchgate. She also picked up footwear and saris for her personal collection. Chalk n Duster is about teachers, the education system and the commercialisation of the system. Written by Ranjeev Varma, the film is being directed by Jayant Gilatar.
Emma, Andrew together againIJ
Actress Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield have reportedly put their “long and forced separation” behind them after recently rekindling their relationship. The 26-year-old actress and the 31-year-old actor, who rekindled their relationship following their split, have picked up where they left off because “nothing major happened” to cause them to break up.
“Emma and Andrew are a great couple who have been apart for work. They are still seeing each other. Nothing major happened between them while he was away other than a long and forced separation. Andrew has been incredibly busy and so has Emma. But the sparks are still there,” a source said. Another insider said the actor has been staying at Stone's home for past few days.
