Live shows scare Arshad!

He is a powerhouse of energy when it comes to performing on stage or hosting shows, but doing anything live gives goosebumps to actor Arshad Warsi.

“I have hosted shows before, but I always get the gitters (sic) when I have to do anything live… Nervous energy I guess,” he posted on Twitter.

Masala films are tougher: Ashutosh Gowariker

Acclaimed filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, best known for making period dramas like “Lagaan” and “Jodhaa Akbar”, says it is challenging to make a typical Bollywood potboiler that excites the audience.

“I would love to make a glamourous movie sometime. But those movies seem easy to make, yet it is very difficult to make them. I don’t know if I would ever make a completely mainstream film…but I don’t mind making a murder mystery or a horror film,” said Gowariker.

He did try his hand at commercial cinema with “What’s Your Rashee?”, but it failed miserably at the box office. He returned to his trademark style with “Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey”, and is now ready to work on “Buddha”.
