A Book on Sanjay Dutt



Sanjay Gupta, filmmaker, is paying his friend Sanjay Dutt the ultimate tribute. He’s commissioned a 3-volume biography on the superstar to be written by journalist-author Neelesh Mishra.
Explaining about the book, Sanjay Gupta told the reporters that he didn’t think that Sanju’s life could be encapsulated in one book. His life was not only exceptionally eventful, but also very inspiring. Therefore they had decided to divide Sanju’s story into three volumes. The first Volume would take you into his story until he went into rehabilitation for drug cure. The second volume would go through his marriage with Richa Sharma., the divorce, and her tragic death.
In the final volume you will get to read about his court procedures, his probation, and other details.
To help in writing the book, Sanjay Dutt would be personally sitting with the writer over several sessions sharing his darkest fears and thoughts. According to Gupta, this would be a “no-holds-barred” story. “Sanjay Dutt’s life”, according to Neelesh Mishra, who is a lyricist, “is an amazing story. It mirrors the sunshine and the darkness of Bollywood itself. I see it as a very challenging international project, far more difficult than the three books I’ve written so far. Hope I do justice to it.”

Rajnikant- New Superstar of Kollywood/Tollywood?

Well, looks like our bollywood superstar Big B is in to face tough competition for the "superstardom" status! What with first ShahRukh Khan close on his heels for the much coveted status, now its the turn of Kollywood or Tollywood (whatever its called) superstar Rajnikant, who has been having a huge fan following down south is all set to give stiff competition to the Bachchans!
Rajnikant is known as the king of punch.His latest Movie "Sivaji" is proving to be a big blockbuster with his fans going berserk in order to watch the film! Not only in India but abroad as well!
This week at the box office, it is a clash of the titans, literally, as the Big B's 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' and superstar Rajnikant's 100th film 'Sivaji' are set to release simultaneously.
He has been getting similar response abroad too. Fans poured milk on Rajnikanth’s cut-outs, offered prayers and pledged their lives as the much anticipated movie ‘Sivaji- The Boss’ opened to more-than-full houses in more than two thousand theatres across the country and abroad on Friday.
Not only that, Bollywood star prices seem a laugh as you travel down South where, without fuss and headlines, Tamil star Rajnikanth has become India's highest paid actor.
He is paid more than the Khans or even the Big B. With each new film Rajnikanth breaks his own record as India's highest paid acter.One of the reasons for Rajni's skyrocketing rates is that he is Tamil cinema's lone superstar after MGR, while four to five big heroes rule Bollywood. Realities that even his co-actors accept.
