It's not just that, even the audience is accepting such films and wants to watch unconventional heroes and heroines. Probably, they were not ready before, but now people are curious and they want to watch such films. Maybe after a few years, that may change, who knows.” After a successful stint as a child actor, it is never too easy to make a comeback as an adult. But Fatima did it in spades with Dangal (2016) which saw charting some extraordinary box office numbers.

Krushna Abhishek EXCLUSIVE Nowadays, the meaning of comedy is changed: Krushna Abhishek Krushna Abhishek is known for his comic roles in the films and TV. He has worked with many hit movies like , Entertainment and etc. Currently his character is very popular in 'The Show.' In an exclusive interview with Yogesh Mishra, he spoke about his character in latest released Hindi movie 'O Pushpa I Hate Tears', his own definition of comedy, 's input in his career, Nalasopara connect in and more…

16 • BOLLYWOOD TOWN • March 2020 www.bollywoodtown.in There is a trend of not to invent What character are you playing in 'O Pushpa I Hate Tears'? something new in the film industry. It's a comic thriller. My excitement When things are going well, then was more because there is a thriller element in comedy in this film and we should not change the track. movie is released after a long time. I am playing a negative character in this film. There is a film inside this film. I am hired to murder a girl. Her husband gives me money to kill her and he goes out but when he comes back, he sees that things are changed. Now the 'living Pushpa is more beneficial for him than dead Pushpa'. My character has lots of shades. I have good dialogues and dance scenes in this film. My character name is Shyam so, whenever I appear on screen, I used to say repetitively that Dholak aur tabla toh koi bhi bajaa sakta hai lekin bansuri tab khush hoti hai jab usse Shyam bajata hai. It's a different kind of character. The title of the movie is very unique. This is a popular dialogue of ji. How it all happened? After the narration of the story director Dinkar ji suggested me this title (Pushpa I Hate tears). I was excited to know this title so much that I suggested my director and producer to go and take the registration of this title immediately. Title should be catchy and everybody know that this is a very famous dialogue of Rajesh Khanna ji. I knew that, if we will get this title then we can create a title track on this. Luckily, I sang this title song. We dedicated this song to Rajesh Khanna ji. You might have seen that I have used the style of Kaka (Rajesh Khanna) in this song. I am happy with the title. What kind of comedy inputs you have given in 'O Pushpa I Hate Tears'? When the situations were given to me, then lines were already written but the important was how to deliver it. I used to improvise it from my end. Dinkar ji (director) had given me enough freedom to act the way I wanted. People on set www.bollywoodtown.in 17 • BOLLYWOOD TOWN • March 2020 are like your regular audience so, when I performed, people used to laugh and Dinkar ji used to take those as a final take. How much is the comedy angle in this film? Its not a major comedy but my character is very much entertaining. I used to lie and create fake stories and you will come to know the fact in the climax why he (my character) was doing so. I created comedy as much as possible within the limit of my character in the film. Any expectations from this film (O Pushpa I Hate tears)? This is more of a single theatre film. This is like the movies of 90s where audience used to cheer in cinema hall. Yeh stall walon ki film hai. I don't have any major expectation from this film but since there are lots of hard work and money is involved in making this film so I appeal people to come and watch this film. You are mainly known for your comic roles in the industry. Are you trying to explore some other genre also? There is a trend of not to invent something new in the film industry. When things are going well, then we should not change the track. People like me is in comedy since long time. I have done many hit comedy movies like Bol Bachchan, Entertainment, Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 etc. Recently I did a web series with , even that was a comedy genre. Even, I have produced one comedy movie 'Marne Bhi Do Yaaron'. So, I thought of not changing the track, but I want to do a serious horror movie. I like horror movies. I watch a horror movie every day before I sleep (laughs). I want to do a film like Vicky Kaushal's Bhoot. What is 'comedy' according to you? Comedy I believe is a 'instant reaction'. Although things are scripted but actor's own input is more important. How do you react on others naturally is more important. Nowadays, the meaning of comedy is changed. For the comedy, I am big fan of saab and Kishor Kumar ji. But today's comedy is more a one liner comedy than a situational comedy. People don't have time

30 • BOLLYWOOD TOWN • March 2020 www.bollywoodtown.in 7 Men's Fashion Trends That Will Rule 2020 We couldn't possibly talk about big fashion trends without talking about men's fashion trends. 1. Cross-Body Bags: First, I'd like to never, ever, ever, ever hear the word “murse” ever again. It's just a purse. Or a handbag. And if you happen to identify as a man and prefer to carry your belongings in a bag (rather than letting them just jingle jangle around in your pockets), then cool! Here's a trend for you! Fanny packs worn across your torso will still be happening in 2020, but legit cross-body bags will be happening, too. The trick is wearing them high up on your waist, as opposed to just flopping about again your hip bone. 2. Monochromatic Suits: Stop, I'm not talking about an all-black suit. There are many more colors that the human eye can see, and I'm talking about literally any of them. Wearing a suit that's made up of only one shade is a sleek way to spice up the classic silhouette. (Because, honestly, aren't you tired of a black suit with a white dress shirt?) 3. Sheer Tops: I just know that Harry Styles, somewhere, is squealing with excitement. Show off those abs, those tattoos, or whatever you got goin' on under there with a sheer top. Pair it with a relaxed suit for a fun night out, or don a loose, sheer shirt in the summer. Not only does it offer up major style points, it also offers major ventilation. 4. Shirtless & Suits: Probably the easiest and effortless trend to follow on this list: Just ditch the shirt next time you don a suit, and revel in how hot you look. 5. Vests: Vests are here—with or without the suit. And before you start unearthing your fedora to go with it—just don't. It's just the vest. Fedoras are still lame. 6. Non-Motorcycle Leather Jackets: Moto jackets are still in, don't get me wrong. (Will they ever be Margo Cooper, Miss World Bulgaria 2019 out?) But those long, sleek leather jackets are making a comeback now—so, good on Adam Sandler. Ensure that it's a 2020 trend by adding a street style twist to it. Don't just pair the jacket with visits Rescue foundation centre jeans. Wear it with your favorite off-duty look, like the runway shot above.

It's lovely," says the actor who was last seen in Mariam Khan Reporting Live. As the story proceeds, the show talks about the clash of ideologies between his character and that of a Devguru. While the multi-talented actor thoroughly loves his character, he did ensure that his preparation was on point. "For me, the preparation was pretty much psychological because my belief has to completely counter attack his belief. Also for preparation I think, I needed to develop a feeling of warmth, love and affection for the character Devguru because at any point of time it should not look like as if I am trying to outdo him but it should look like I am kind of concerned for him and I want to bring him back to normal lifestyle. So, more than physical it is psychological and is pretty much like understanding the psyche of the character, going deep into it and creating magic out of it," he shares. The show also stars Rahil Azam and Shruti Seth and two wonderful kids. The Concept creation is done by and Gurudev Bhalla productions.
