The Wait Is Over - Ek Thi Daayan Trailer

Konkona SenSharma's new movie after a long time "Ek Thi Dayaan" trailer is just out. Konkona is looking awesome as always, plus looks scary. The film would be released on April 18, 2013, where she is speculated to be playing the Daayan (Witch). "Ek Thi Dayaan" is directed by Kannan Iyer, produced by Ekta Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj, co-starring Emraan Hashmi, Kalki Koechlin and Huma Qureshi. The story was based on the writing by Konkona's father Mukul Sharma, which is about the real cult, witchcraft in Bengal.

Shunyo Awnko trailer

We've now got the glimpse of the upcoming Shunyo Awnko, Konkona SenSharma's come-back film after a long break. Here is the trailer:
 


Beautiful images, music and looking great! I'm pleased at the thought of Konkona working in a Bengali film again, this time with another master Goutam Ghose.

And please don't forget, the trailer of Konkona's another film 'Ek Thi Dayan' would be released on this coming Friday. Year 2013 should be a good one for Konkona films.

Two more films with Konkona?

This news report comes from a very reliable source, and we all have to wait until the start of post-production. According to this Times of India article, Konkona SenSharma would play a journalist in Gautam Ghose's film which is inspired by two lines from the director's two favorite authors.

"Yes, I'll be casting Kakon (Konkona) in the role of a journalist. Priyanshu [Chatterjee] will be playing a corporate guy. However, none of them have signed on the project as yet. I have been inspired by two lines from two favorite authors of mine. One is Ernest Hemingway's Old Man And The Sea. The line is "A man can be destroyed but not defeated". Another line is from Alexander Pushkin's poem: "Everything is a sacrifice to your memory". The film is in between these two lines. The film has a sense of adventure in it. We plan to begin shooting in Manali." __ (Gautam Ghose)

However, this is too interesting not to share, Gautam Ghose who is is one of the most acclaimed film directors of Indian Cinema (so far I've watch only 'Paar') having a project with Konkona. There is also a rumor that Konkona would be in Vishal Bhardwaj’s "Dayan" together with Kalki Koechlin and Emraan Hashmi, which be produced by Ekta Kapoor.

So, Konkona is back to work and more and more interesting projects are in line. Hoping the second half of 2012 should be a good one for Konkona films.

Updates!

Since I neglected this site for so long, according to Konkona SenSharma's prolonged maternity leave. I miss it. I still admire Konkona as much as ever, and I am keep touch with her doings by following her on Twitter. But now her leave is over.


Great news is that Konkona is set to portray as Tagore heroine in Suman Mukherjee's adaptation of "Shesher Kabita" opposite her regular co-star Rahul Bose. I haven't read the novel yet although I've bought the recent translation by Radha Chakravarty. Must have to pick it up soon. Konkona will play as Labannya.

Next, Konkona also stars in Ananth Narayan Mahadevan's "Gaur Hari Dastaan", which also stars her husband Ranvir Shorey. But she would be seen opposite Vinay Pathak plays Indian freedom fighter Gauri Hari Das,as his wife.

Great news, isn't it ? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her new projects. In the meantime, I hope some more good news and pictures will seen and I would report back here.

The First Look of Konkona SenSharma starrer "MIRCH"

20, 30, 40?

It's a breaking news! The two talented ladies of Indian cinema, Tabu and Konkona SenSharma are to be seen sharing screen space in a film named "20, 30, 40".

The article states that, the film is produced by Nazim Rizvi and he has approached both actresses ,who have agreed to work in the film.

This storyline is about three women belonging to three different age groups of 20, 30 and 40. Tabu will play a women belonging to the 40 age group while Konkona has been chosen for the 30 year character. The search for the actress portraying the 20 age group is still on and no one has been finalized.

However, both ladies are too talented at their respective films and this will be great ( for the audience ) the ladies to meet and fight it out on screen.
For me I am too excited for both ladies and it will definitely be interesting to see who wins, na ?

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge : First Look

It's a funny first look. Enjoy !

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge : First Look

Here the first look of Konkona's next year release "Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge" : a comedy film co-starring "Ajay Devgan" and "Paresh Rawal" .

The film is about an unwanted guest enters the household of a married couple lives for a long duration by continuously extending his stay. So much so, that the couple is exasperated and starts praying for his exit. The movie is scheduled to release on February 26, next year.

First Look at "Iti Mrinalini"

Among a few Konkona's upcoming films, the most awaited one for me is "Iti Mrinalini" , a film by "Aparna Sen", life of an actress whose career spans two decades, starting from the 1950s. The Time of India has an articel about the film,where Konkona plays the younger version of the actress.

It includes the first still I've seen from the film, in which Konkona with her c0-star Shaheb Bhattacharjee (who plays Mrinalini collage love interest), uploaded above. There is still no release date, hopefully for a fall next year release.

Cannot wait to "Wake Up" !!!

(First couple photo featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona SenSharma from "Wake Up Sid")

Now, we've got a glimpse of the upcoming "Wake Up Sid'', Konkona SenSharma's second film of the year. Despite of it's promising trailer , I hope the film itself make the own distinguished history ( may be critically or commercial) . I ( actually we all ) love Konkona's looks in glamor ways and the unusual pair (Ranbir & Konkona) can share the great on-screen chemistry.

Here is the Konkona's character outline (by Sid's point of view) -

"God, there's so much to say about Aisha... She's new to Mumbai, and completely infatuated with the city. She left everyone and everything she knew in Kolkata to go after her dream of becoming a writer for this cool urban magazine called Mumbai Beat. She's creative, ambitious, focused, driven, brave... phew, basically everything I'm not!"

Her character is obviously serious ,smart , intelligent and thinking middle-age woman , and story line on how she fall in love with such lazy , fun and doing-nothing guy will be really interesting. And the way how they will menage their relationships , may be the best part of movie.

Overall I hope she has a big juicy role, and I can't wait to see the film.

Theatrical Trailer of "Wake Up Sid"

Aisha Bannerjee's first looks!

The official website of "Wake Up Sid" is lunched ! Here check out . The official trailer will out at 10th of August at the site and here is the small picture of Konkona's character and Sid's point of view on her . Check it . By the way Konkona looks so beautiful in this small picture .

Pressure to be Skinny !

It would be safe to say Konkona SenSharma's talent is possibly the best thing since hot coffee on a rainy night and it's clear no one can have enough. But is there a certain kind of pressure to be skinny since she stepped into the shoes of typical Hindi film heroine?

She is currently working in Karan Johar's next "Wake up Sid" and his decision to star Konkona as the leading lady is surprised by many. Karan Johar loves to present his leading ladies as glamor dolls although this movie revolves around a good looking guy (Ranbir) who falls for an older, simple woman (Konkona). So, Karan lived up to his vision by not just hiring fashion designer Manish Malhotra to give Konkona a new look, but he also made her lose weight for the role.

But in few months old article, the creators of "Wake up Sid" didn't satisfied with their heroine looks and they politely requested her to re-shoot some scenes, but Konkona refused to re-shoot them. She proudly declares that they will get her just the way she is. I am, personally, glad that she stood her own ground.

But in Time of India article, after all the shooting is finished, Konkona went back to her original weight and a day’s patch work is needed. So Karan Johar, ask her to take her weight loss program again. He is of the opinion that since it is patch work, the difference in Konkona’s physical appearance will clearly be seen and he does not want that. This shooting is scheduled for the end of August and Konkona remained unavailable for comment.

News roundup

There had been a long silence , for this blog. This doesn’t mean I lost interest in Konkona , and I still pay attention on her news and films. Thanks for reading, and I'm looking forward to getting back in touch with all of you, since now.

Here are a few interesting news items to get started:

• Konkona-Ranbir starred “Wake up Sid” will be released on 2^nd October this year. Official website is already lunched (unfortunately there is no first look for Konkona’s character) and the first promo will released on 14^th of August with Vishal Bharadwaj’s “Kaminey”. Konkona’s character in the film named, Ayesha Banerjee, who has just finished her Master's, has come to Mumbai to become a writer and then she meets a complete opposite person (Ranbir Kapoor).

• Konkona will play do double role for the first time in "Mirch", being directed by Vinay Shukla, also starring Raima Sen and Shahana Goswami. Konkona will play as a Rajasthani queen and a today’s contemporary woman.

Will Konkona star in Kannada Film ?

There is a rumour that Konkona SenSharma will star in new Kannada movie "Shikari " directed by Abhay Sumha, opposite Mammootty.

Konkona was offered for the leading role and still she hasn't comfirmed yet. The movie plot is based on the pre- and post Independence era and hopefully heroine will get great role.

Konkona is likely to accept and may be this will be her first South Indian Film, although her Southern looks are already on screen since "Mr. and Mrs. Iyer" .

Hopefully this will work out and we will see her in more solid-layered characters.

Moreover, I haven't watched her "Luck by Chance": which got the critically acclaimed but seen to be box office failure :(  . Anyway Konkona was highly praised and I am so pleased for just for this.
