My character is a goody two shoes in 'Badlapur Boys' - Nishan

Well known Malayalam heartthrob actor Nishan Nanaiah is all set to pave his way through to the hearts of Bollywood with film Badlapur Boys. He has played the role of a villager youth named Vijay in the movie. 

Talking about this Kabaddi based film Badlapur Boys, Nishan says, "The film seems realistic in just a single glance because all the characters are simple and true. It is a story about some boys in a village who know nothing else but Kabaddi and who do nothing else but play Kabaddi. They keep losing to other villages and are a laughing stock for the people but they are too lost in the game to stop playing. And right with this madness for the game, these boys do something that changes the history of their village." 

Nishan, who debuted in Malayalam film Ritu in the year 2009, was a Tennis player in his University days and has now played the role of a Kabaddi player. So, how was the experience of playing Kabaddi in Badlapur Boys?  

He says, "It was great fun, but with its own share of bruises and injuries. We were trained by a professional Kabaddi coach. I'm very hopeful that the audience will enjoy Badlapur Boys' Kabaddi." 

Having acted in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu movies, Nishan's character in Badlapur Boys is that of a goody two shoes, simple guy and in real life, too, he seems shy and reserved. Is it the influence of his character or is he like that in real life? His answer to this question is just a sincere smile. 

Nishan completed his acting training from Pune Film Institute and acted in his debut film Ritu, which was critically acclaimed and won Nishan the award for best debut for the year 2009. His second film Apoorvaragam (2010) was in theaters for 100 days. 

Made by Karrm Movies, Badlapur Boys has been produced by Satish Pillangwad and directed by Shailesh Verma. It releases on 12th December. 

Is Saranya lucky for Kabaddi?

 Versatile South Indian actress Saranya Mohan is making her debut in Bollywood
with Karrm Movies' film Badlapur Boys.

Badlapur Boys is a story about the sports of Kabaddi. It's purely coincidental that Saranya starred in Tamil film Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu in 2009, as well as in Telugu film Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu in 2010, as the female lead. Both these films, as their names suggest, are based on Kabaddi and were instant hits. And now in 2014 again, Saranya Mohan is the leading lady of Badlapur Boys, yet another film based on Kabaddi.

It is safe to say that Saranya Mohan is the lucky charm of Kabaddi when it comes to movies. Will she prove to be lucky for the third time with Badlapur Boys? Badlapur Boys has been produced by Karrm Movies and directed by Shailesh Verma. It is releasing on 12th December.

Where there's a will, there's a way... - Kishori Shahane

Well known Marathi and Hindi film actress Kishori Shahane needs no prelude. The veteran has acted in 65 Marathi films and various Bollywood films, as well as serials. Nowadays, she's being talked about because of her new show Everest that airs on Star Plus, in which she plays the role of a mother.

Here are some excerpts from an interview conducted with Kishori Shahane, about her upcoming film-

Tell us about Badlapur Boys.

Badlapur Boys is based on the game of Kabaddi. It's an age old game in our country but we're all waking up only just now. Tournaments are being conducted and films are being made on it. The film has been made under Karrm Movies and its director is Shailesh Verma. I share the screen with talented actors Nishan, Saranya Mohan, Puja Gupta, Annu Kapoor, Boloram Das, Nitin Jadhav, Shashank Udaypurkar, Mazhar Khan, Ankit Sharma and Vineet. 

What is your role in the film?

I'm playing the role of the mother of the protagonist, played by Nishan. My character is an extremely strong one, who sing brings up her son all by herself, after her husband's death and shows him the right path. I'm playing such a character after ages in a Hindi film. 

Do you think the audience will like the film?

Yes, I do think so, because statistically speaking, movies made on sports in the recent times have been highly appreciated, whether it be Bhaag Milkha Bhaag or Mary Kom. Besides, Kabaddi is a game that everyone has played at least once in their life. I'm hopeful that the audience will enjoy and appreciate the film. 

The audience has welcomed your show Everest with open arms...

It feels great when the audience likes your work. Ashutosh Gowariker has done a great job on the show. 

You had taken part in the Mrs. Gladrags Beauty Pageant?

Yes, I had taken part in the pageant in 2003 and was crowned runner up. I was also crowned with Miss Mithibai Beauty award in my college days. 

You're an actor, balancing between films, theater and television shows. Not to mention, you're also a graceful dancer. How do you manage?

Where there's a will, there's a way. It all falls into place.
