Mahie Gill's comfortable giving bold shots

Mahie Gill not comfortable giving bold shots Jaspreet Mahie Gill may have become one of the boldest actresses of our times with her latest, " Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster" but the actress says that doesn't mean she is comfortable giving bold shots. 

"I do feel uncomfortable shooting for bold scenes for a film. But then we are modern day actresses and we must abide by what the script demands," she says. Not that Mahie had chosen such roles consciously in the industry, but " Dev D" set her mark as a bold actress and Mahie simply followed the path.

"It was after the response I received for "Dev D" that I realised doing bold scenes isn't such a bad thing after all," she laughs. However, Mahie says such roles are also a reflection of the modern day women and their changing roles, temperaments and priorities. "I believe in doing realistic cinema. Hence, if women in real life are becoming aggressive about their desires and are more comfortable expressing their sexualities, I don't have a problem essaying such real life roles," she adds.

Scene with Mahie is not pornographic: Randeep Hooda

Actors Mahie Gill and Randeep Hooda, who gave some up, close and personal shots including a kiss for 'Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster', feel there's no big deal about intimate scenes. 

"People were talking about it (the kiss) earlier. But after watching the film, nobody talked about it, which is a good thing. My family saw the film but they didn't even mention it or ask me about it," Mahie said here.

Randeep, who earlier shot steamy scenes for his long delayed film 'Rang Rasiya', too justified the scenes. 

"It is a part of the film... It is not pornographic. It is actually a very emotional scene in which two lovers indulge in physical intimacy which is very natural. So when you see the film, you won't find it sleazy, you will feel the emotions," he said. 

The movie, which released Sep 30, is directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and features Jimmy Shergill. It talks about betrayal, and is said to have been inspired by the principal characters of Guru Dutt's 1962 classic "Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam".

Sequel of Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster's starts soon

After cashing in on the success of Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster for the past week, since its release on September 30, the film's makers have already chalked out plans for the sequel. And we hear that the sequel will go on floors on Thursday, at Kino Cottage in Andheri.

A source informed Mumbai Mirror that the film will feature the original film's cast, which includes Randeep Hooda, Mahie Gill and Jimmy Sheirgill.

When contacted, producer Sunil Bohra said, "We never expected this kind of appreciation for Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster. We've decided to launch a sequel right away. Why wait? At the moment, the excitement is fresh for both the crew and the audience."

When asked how the script for the sequel has already been finalised, Bohra explained, "Director Tigmanshu Dhulia had an idea for the sequel before the release of Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster. He just needed to develop that idea. And now, we have the sequel."

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster review: Heady mix of passion, power and politics

A wonderfully gripping trip into the hinterland where life is cheap, death is free and sex comes at a premium. Be ready to cheer and whistle as this one comes with punchlines galore

The best thing about director Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster (SBG) is the fact that it is placed in a milieu that he is well-versed with; the language, the look and the characters, all rarely seen on the big screen, make this film a treat to watch. Shot aesthetically, the content is aimed at a fairly mature audience. SBG is one of the few Hindi films that has done justice to the acting prowess of Jimmy Shergill, who does look like a king; a lot has been spent on his styling in the movie and it certainly is worth it.

The telling of the story is as simple as the title of the film – it is about a king (Jimmy Shergill) whose coffers are empty, his wife (Mahie Gill) whom he doesn’t love and a rookie gangster (Randeep Hooda) who lands up in the madhouse that was once a sprawling palace. The king is going through an all-time low and has to somehow manage to live up to his royal stature, for which he uses his power and doubles up as a gangster.

Like all self-respecting kings, he also has a courtesan who knows exactly which buttons to push to ensure that he eats out of her hands.

The king is left with very few loyal subjects and has to compete with a local gangster Genda Singh (Vipin Sharma) to reclaim respect and power. The world created by the director is dark and almost everyone in it seems to be comfortable with a twisted way of life. The only character with a spine is the king’s driver, who ends up becoming a helpless witness to an ending that is a rare spectacle in Bollywood.

SBG is in the zone of filmmaker E Nivas’ Shool or Anurag Basu’s Murder and the twain meet in such a poetic way that it makes for a great watch. Stunning visuals, bravura performances, shock value, skin show and the mandatory item number – this movie is a glowing tribute to the warring-Rajput-clan genre. Though the director has only shot at about three locations, the way the film has been edited avoids any hint of repetitiveness.

The refined camerawork and catchy music add to the darkly pulpy concoction and it was a surprise to see actor Deepal Shaw almost pull off a Basanti a la Hema Malini. As the tagline of the film goes, “this weekend do spare time for this royal threesome”.

Mahie Gill got drunk...

Actress Mahie Gill, who plays an alcoholic in " Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster", gulped a few pints of vodka to get into her character, but she got so high she couldn't get down to shoot. 

"One day Mahie came on the set and said, 'I am going to do scenes very nicely.' We had to shoot a song where there was a dance sequence along with a lot of drama," director Tigmanshu Dhulia told IANS. "She asked whether she can have the vodka and I said have it. By the time lights were set, she drank one. But the camera setting was taking time, so she drank more," said the director, adding that after a few drinks "she couldn't even perform simple steps and somehow I wrapped up the shooting".

"Later, she came to know that I am angry with her. She felt so bad that she went back from Gujarat, where we were shooting, to Mumbai. She had to be convinced into believing that everything is fine," said Dhulia. Releasing Sep 30, the film is set in a small town and the story is packed with intrigue, betrayal and ambition between a beautiful begum, her nawab husband and an ambitious gangster. Apart from Mahie, the film has Jimmy Shergill and Randeep Hooda in prominent roles.
