Ayesha Takia News and gossips

A movie still from Wanted Dead and Alive
Like Shah Rukh Khan in Bollywood, Prabhu Deva is the superstar in South India. He is lovingly titled as ‘rubber man’ by his fans due to his flexible dancing skills. Prabhu has acted in couple of Bollywood films but for the first time he is directing a Hindi film. The film named ‘Wanted Dead and Alive’, stars Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia-Azmi in lead and is produced by Boney Kapoor. It’s a Hindi version of Prabhu’s Tamil hit Pokkiri.

The South Indian films are not less in anything compared to Bollywood. So did Prabhu find any difference between the two? “Since I worked with the same technicians, I couldn’t feel any difference. Besides, I’ve been working in Bollywood for years now, albeit not as a director. There’s a little more tension in Bollywood as it caters to a larger audience,” says Prabhu Deva.

The film took long time to complete and rumors were that Salman delayed it to complete his another upcoming film ‘Veer’. But Prabhu replied, “It took us a year-and-a-half to make it, and that’s normal.”

So why did he take so long to enter into Bollywood? “The opportunity came to me now. I have known Boney Kapoor for the last 15 years. But he approached me after watching Pokkiri,” answers the actor-director.

Speaking about the film, Prabhu said, “It’s a city-based film. There are small changes in the Hindi version. It’s shorter than the Tamil version. There have been some changes in the comedy scenes and the songs.”

Prabhu also had praises for his lead cast Salman and Ayesha. “He doesn’t treat me like a director, but more like a brother. I’ve met his family. In fact, the first meeting happened at his home. He’s a very sweet, chilled out guy.”

“Ayesha (Takia Azmi) too was very professional and didn’t give any trouble.”

He will make a cameo appearance in a dance number in the film. So has he choreographed songs of Wanted? “My son was critically ill at that point. So, Vaibhavi Merchant and my brother Raju Sundaram stepped in. It was a difficult time for me. I’m slowly coming out of it. The Wanted team was very supportive,” he said. Prabhu’s 12-year old son died last December due to cancer.

The much awaited wedding of Ayesha Takia with her boyfriend Farhan Azmi is going to take place on March 1. Farhan is a restaurateur. Actually Ayesha-Farhan were supposed to wed earlier, but the Mumbai terror attacks made them to change their plan.

It will be a private Nikaah ceremony at a mosque. However there will be a huge reception at the CCI club on the next day. Several personalities from the film fraternity are invited for the reception.

Confirming the news, Ayesha’s mother Faridah said, “I can not conceal my excitement. I am very happy.”

She later added, “We have shopped for everything from Mumbai.”

After the reception the couple will go off to some foreign location for their honeymoon. However the place is not yet decided.

A friend close to Ayesha said, “Ayesha and Farhan are still discussing options. They have yet not zeroed in on any place yet.”

We had previously informed you that actress Ayesha Takia is planning to wed her business boyfriend Farhan Azmi early this year. But the couple now has decided to take a break as far as their wedding is concerned.

A friend of a couple said, “Ideally, they should have officially announced their marriage at the beginning of this year, but now they have decided to take some more time.”

Hope so everything is fine between the couple. Well don’t know how the families of the couple will react, but the producers of Ayesha are for sure gone be happy.
