Premiere of Woodstock Villa

New 'Woodstock Villa' Trailer

What is it with some Bollywood movies trying so hard to be cool and slick? Take for example the trailer for ‘Woodstock Villa.’

You’ve got your hero (Sikandar Kher) fighting a guy in the rain and then the token ‘hot girl’ shows up in a dance sequence with men ripping her clothes off. And through all of that we still have no idea what the movie itself is about!

Are they trying too hard with this one? Check out the trailer and let us know what you think!

Sikandar's entry costs a bomb

Sikandar Kher’s introductory scene in Woodstock Villa cost the makers a cool 1.5 crore

For Sikandar Kher’s silver screen debut with Woodstock Villa, producer Hansal Mehta filmed a introductory sequence with the newcomer, which cost them a cool Rs 1.5 crore.

A glimpse of the same can also been seen in the teaser promos currently on air. Sikandar is seen riding a Yamaha MT01 bike with smoke in the background.

Hansal Mehta is hesitant to talk about the amount he spent on the scene, “We have spent freely and the scene looks amazing. I wanted to give Sikandar an entry like no newcomer has got.

Something like Tom Cruise did in one of his early movies, Days of Thunder. It took us three days to finish this shoot.”

About the film Hansal says, “It’s a film with unexpected twists and turns at regular intervals.

It is a racy thriller and will keep the audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish.”

Mehta calls Sikandar “a house of talent”. He says, “I always knew he was someone to look forward to, given the body of work of his parents.

Besides, he oozes confidence and is a delight to work with. Even Neha is going to be a surprise package of the film and she has done a commendable job.”

Fighting over Sikandar

Both the producers of Sikandar Kher’s ‘debut’ films want their project to be his first release
Sikandar Kher who has been trying to make his silver screen debut for over two years now has two films that are ready for release. It is believed that the newcomer wants Adlabs’ Summer of 2007 (which was unveiled at a special event last night at The Club, Andheri) to be his first release in stead of Sanjay Gupta’s Woodstock Villa.

An industry source reveals, “Although it was Sanjay who was instrumental in kick-starting Sikandar’s career, the actor has lost interest because it’s been in the making for over a year. Sikandar signed for Summer after he finished shooting for Woodstock Villa. Now Sikandar is keen to promote Summer, and wants it to be his first."

The source adds, “Gupta has started to promote Woodstock extensively. He has started to place ads in trade magazines and is pushing for the release before Summer.”

The director of Woodstock and the COO of Gupta’s banner White Feather Films, Hansal Mehta says, “If Sikander is unveiling Summer of 2007, what does that have to do with my film? He has acted in that movie and I wish him all the very best for it. My movie is going to hit cinemas in May.”

Says Sikandar, “Adlabs is putting in money to promote Summer of 2007; the best person to ask why Woodstock is not being promoted is Sanjay Gupta, the producer.” When quizzed about which film he wants out first, he says, “Whichever one is ready for release. As far as I am concerned, I want both films to come together.”

Sikander Kher's SUMMER 2007 unveiled

Rote Hue Aatey Hain Sab...
Hasta Hua Jo Jaayega...
Woh Mukadar Ka Sikander... Kehlaayega...

Hey guys, before you put your grey cells to work let us inform you that we are not in a singing mood. But yes, being inspired by what is said, we are talking of someone who is actually a Sikander. Though he is yet to prove his capabilities, come summer and you will see Anupam ka Sikander, we mean Anupam Kher's son Sikander Kher making his Bollywood debut.

Well, first things first, Sikander has 2 major films to be released in the near future. Sikander's launch vehicle was supposed to be White Feather Films' WOODSTOCK VILLA opposite Neha Uberoi, but there seems to be a change in the 'plan' and summer of 2008 may see the release of Sikander starrer SUMMER 2007 as his first release.

As per media reports SUMMER 2007 may release before WOODSTOCK WILLA and may mark Sikander Kher's debut in Bollywood records. The presenters also showcased the first look of the movie to the media at the recently held event and close family friend Aishwarya Rai Bachchan graced the occasion by unveiling the same.

Well, whichever movie may release first, hope its Sikander ka 'mukaddar', which shines bright.
