A 19-year-old boy clung on to the rear of popular Bengali actor Subhashis Chattopadhyay's car and travelled for more than 40 km just to express his immense desire to become an actor!

The incident occurred late Sunday night under Taldanga police station area in West Bengal's Bankura district when Swarup Barik of Khichka village clung on to the exhaust pipe of the actor's car, local reports said.

Though Barik sustained burn injuries on the way, he never gave up with the hope of realising his dream of becoming an actor.

'I was surprised to find the youth had not fallen off the car,' said Subhashis, known for his slapstick comedy.

It was actress Locket Chatterjee who spotted the youth clinging on to the car and thought he must be a dacoit or a Maoist. She was travelling in another car.

Both actors were returning after performing at a yatra (a folk theatre) in Bankura.

'I suddenly saw a figure clinging on to Subhashis's car and thought he was trying to attack us. I tried to contact Subhashis but his mobile phone was switched off. I then asked my driver to overtake his car and asked for police help. I was scared,' Locket said.

When Subhashis's car stopped, the youth scampered out, claiming innocence.

'My ultimate dream is to become an actor. My favourite actor is Subhashisda. When he came to my village to perform in a yatra, I thought I would be able to express my deep desire to join films, but could not meet him. So I chose to travel this way,' Swarup said.

'The boy had done it out of sheer excitement. We have made him write a note, saying he would never take such a risk in future,' said Jitendra Nath Mukhopadhyay, inspector-in-charge of Bankura Sadar police station.

Farah's father Kamran Khan's chances of making it big as a filmmaker, and the family fell on trying times. SLB's father Navin, too, met with a similar fate in the tricky world of showbiz and took to alcohol, resulting in traumatic childhood memories for the Black director.

Bhansali and Farah went on to assist filmmakers Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Mansoor Khan on Parinda and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander respectively. Interestingly, Farah's career took an unintentional turn as a choreographer on the sets of JJWS, whereas Bhansali was appointed as the director of a song on Chopra's bleak story about two brothers and the mafia.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali entered the Bollywood landscape silently, with not-so-successful Khamoshi, but he really hit the marquee with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, which went on to become one of the most successful films in the year and put Bhansali at front of successful directors. Bhansali continued his success march with really-mega-budget Devdas, churning out enough money to justify the big budget, even resulting in the selection for India's official entry to best foreign-language film at Academy awards, only to be ousted too early just like most of Indian films. Strengthening Bhansali as one of looked upon figure of Bollywood, but surprising was yet to come. In 2005, Bhansali came up with "breakthrough cinema", "critically-acclaimed", "beautifully crafted" et al BLACK.
Coming to Saawariya, Saawariya is adaptation of Fryodor Dostoevsky's short story White Nights. Russian authors are known for their dark, depressing love stories about unrequited love, with most of the stories ending in agony, nervousness and depression. As a screenplay, the story is best.

On the other hand,Farah  won accolades for her dance directing skills with songs like Dhol bajne laga (Virasat), Chaiyyan Chaiyyan (Dil Se..) and Idhar chala (Koi… Mil Gaya). Her work in Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding and Vanity Fair and the Broadway musical, Bombay Dreams, gave her international exposure. The latter also earned her a nomination, along with Anthony Van Laast, at the prestigious Tony Awards in 2004.

Her dream of making films became a reality when buddy SRK decided to produce and star in her debut, Main Hoon Na. Not only did Farah successfully introduce the audience to a 'spoof', but she also went on to become the first ever lady director to be nominated for a Filmfare award in the Best Director category.

Om Shanti Om is Farah's second film as opposed to Saawariya , which is Bhansali's fifth film. Although both directors launch newcomers, model turned actress Deepika Padukone (OSO).Bhansali introduce to Rishi and Neetu Kapoor's son Ranbir and Anil Kapoor's daughter Sonam, who debut in Saawariya,

So, Let's see who will be the king of audience heart.

Raveena Tandon, who took a sabbatical after marriage and motherhood, is planning to face the camera again, tempted by some of the offers coming her way.

"One of them is a movie where I've the central role. So far, post-marriage the offers have been rather okay types. But this one is a woman-oriented film. See, if I do a film now it can't be the usual pony-tailed Jill-in-a-drill kind of thing. I'd be happy to do this one film, as long as they don't clash with my daughter's routine," Raveena told IANS.

The other offer, which "Mast" girl Raveena is tight-lipped about, is for a non-fiction programme on a news channel.

"Doing TV is even easier for me because I can synchronise my clock according to Rasha's schedules. In any case, she's the least problematic child. Not at all cranky like her mother," said Raveena, who has two kids.

The National Award winning actress would be the latest in a long queue of married actresses who have returned after motherhood.

The successful ones were Rakhee, who returned with "Kabhi Kabhie" and "Tapasya", Sharmila Tagore, who did her most successful films like "Aradhana", "Amar Prem" and "Mausam" after marriage, Dimple Kapadia had a fabulous innings post marriage and motherhood with "Sagar", "Rudaali" and "Lekin" and Hema Malini, who continues to be a queen way past marriage and grownup daughters.
