Irrfan Khan’s next, Hindi Medium, directed by Saket Chaudhary, will show him in an unusual avatar. The actor will be seen playing a rich Punjabi businessman and clothes store owner from Chandni Chowk who is married to Saba Qamar.
A source revealed that,”The film was shot on real locations like Chandni Chowk, Anand Lok, Karol Bagh and Sangam Vihar to keep things authentic. Irrfan met with and recorded clips of shopkeepers and salesmen while they went about their daily business to prepare for his role.”
“The idea was to capture the essence of affluent Chandni Chowk residents who are known to favour flashy things, so the actor will be seen sporting leather jackets and jhatak clothes; the look is bright and colorful.” added the source.
Interestingly, the people that are shown working in Irrfan’s store were selected from real shops.

Bollywood churns out on average 120 plus films a year, with 2014 reaching 142. So to think all of them will go down in history as being successful is rather naive. But what about the ones we thought would work wonders but came up short? The ones that left us thinking, “Why was this allowed past the editing board”? Even ones that somehow managed to cha-ching the money registers sky high. 2014 had its fair share of films that fit all these categories. BollySpice brings you the biggest disappointments of 2014.

From comedy, drama, to action, to the hero romancing the girl, or full on characters and everything in between, Saif Ali Khan has played them all in his 25 years in the Hindi film industry. He is considered one of the best and with each new performance he brings something special and unique to the big screen. For his latest film, Happy Ending, Saif is starring in what he calls a rom-com for guys. Happy Ending was directed by the cool duo of Krishna Dk and Raj Nidimoru (Go Goa Gone), who bring a new sensibility to the movies with their unique stories and take on what a Hindi film can be. The off-the-wall comedy film, which hits theaters on the 21st, also stars Govinda, Ranvir Shorey, Kalki Koechlin and Ileana D’Cruz.

After the success of Pyaar Ke Side Effects, writer-director Saket Chaudhary dives further into relationships by examining the “side effects” of marriage in Shaadi Ke Side Effects. The film stars Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan, both of whom have been on quite a roll lately. They say they hadn’t even met, let alone become friends, before the film, but their easy-going chemistry leapt out immediately in the trailers.
In summary, Sid and Trisha Roy have grown up into different actors from Pyaar Ke Side Effects and gotten married. Beyond that, there really isn’t much of a plot here. Sid and Trisha have a baby. Sid is not happy, Trisha pretends to be. Sid starts lying to his wife to be happy. It inevitably blows up in his face. They reconcile without actually fixing anything.
Unfortunately, that pretty much is the story. What starts off as a wonderful concept...

Film: "Shaadi Ke Side Effects"; Cast: Vidya Balan, Farhan Akhtar, Vir Das and Purab Kohli; Director: Saket Chaudhary; Rating: ****
"When I do something wrong, I say sorry to my wife. When my wife does something wrong.... I say sorry to my wife."
One of the gems that flows out of Farhan Akhtar's mouth while addressing the oldest question on the gender equation: what does a woman really want in a marriage? Could it be the same things as a man? Maybe the route taken by the two individuals is different?Director Saket Chaudhary raises some pertinent questions on the fake road-signs that could lead to an aborted marriage. Not all of the winking homilies work. But the film holds together primarily because of the intelligent writing.

Set to release on February 28th, is the highly anticipated jodi of Farhan Akhtar & Vidya Balan in Shaadi Ke Side Effects directed by Saket Chaudhary. We have some special treats just for you!
First the Synopsis of Shaadi Ke Side Effects
Side effects are funny, sometimes they are a wonderful surprise… and sometimes they are a mixed bag.
One can only imagine that marriage would come with side effects….
Pleasure being replaced by companionship..
Lovers becoming friends..
But not Sid (Farhan Akhtar) and Trisha ( Vidya Balan).
Theirs is a shaadi where they are living out each other’s fantasies, turning them into reality peppered with love, lust & longing.
Shaadi Ke Side Effects is a witty, sexy comedy that re-defines happily ever after – if there really is one!!
Next the trailer with English subtitles

Saket Chaudhary is a happy man. When he had conceptualized Shaadi Ke Side Effects, Farhan Akhtar had just delivered a super-hit in the form of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Still, he didn't have a massive solo hero success to his name. However, Saket as well as producers Ekta Kapoor and Pitish Nandy were convinced that Farhan would be the man for the job.Circa 2014 and Farhan today boasts of a 100 crore success in the form of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Obviously, he is on the top of the...

New Delhi, Jan 20: You've heard of a special appearance in a film but Vir Das's name is likely to be slotted under a "senseless appearance" when the credits roll down for "Shaadi Ke Side Effects".
The stand-up comedian is said to be in talks with the makers of the film to officially carry that in the credits instead of 'special appearance' as it fits the tone of the film.
"It was one of those roles where (director) Saket Chaudhary came over after his whole draft was done and said, 'I want you in this film'. I made a deal with him saying that I would do it if he would let me be totally ridiculous, completely misbehave, and called it a 'senseless appearance'," Vir said in a statement.
Thus started the process.
