"While the designers come out for Their bow and turn to walk backstage, from down the other end of the runway a guy rips off his clothes. (Not sure if it was breakaway suit or what.) Freeball Full. Says nothing anyone can understand and just kind of zig zags up the runway before the first security guard tries to cut him off.

The "fashion community" of menswear editors and buyers seem pretty blasé about the whole thing, getting up to leave Following the show as if nothing had happened.

My agenda is to prove I am versatile: Ranveer Singh

Ranveer Singh is not new to being baited. And so That When We tell him he is the only player Perhaps With The potential to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ranbir Kapoor, I have answers, poker faced, "It is not new ... I have been hearing this for a while now .. . "

The actor, dressed in cool whites, analyzes his mercurial Presence in the industry. "I made a strong start in Band Baaja Baarat. In Ladies V / S Ricky Bahl I positioned myself as a sex object. And now I have a good line-up - Lootera with Vikramaditya Motwane, who is a class apart, Ram Leela with Mr Bhansali, who is a living legend, Ali Abbas Zafar who is the brightest mainstream filmmaker, and then Shaad (Kill Dill), who is the most gifted conductor. So whatever is being said is only on the basis of potential. "

Ranveer pulls out more statistics, "Ranbir has had 10 releases, and I have had only two. I have a great amount of respect for him Because he has made many intelligent choices, taken brave decisions. I May have not loved all his films but I've always done well. To be Compared with him is a good feeling but at this stage ... maybe it's all a little too early. " Despite The fact That the player has so far been riding on big banner projects, I insists, it is the script That tips the scales for him and not the scale of production. "After I read the script, I try to figure if it is a powerful story or Evokes any emotions in me. I look at the character and ask myself if I am attempting something new. Is it going to keep me on my toes! Is it something I can sink my teeth into? "

Strangely enough, says his second film Ranveer May Have Done 'good things' to his image, but did not challenge him creatively. "It was just designed in a way to make me look nice, appear, desirable. But now I only want to do parts That challenge me as an actor and not just objectify me," I says wisely. With Lootera and Ram Leela, I says Ranveer wants his audiences to discover the depth of his emotions. Says he, "My schedule now is to prove That I am versatile." Going by the way Bhansali has been projecting Ranveer's rippling six packs it would be interesting to see how many of his female fans look beyond the bod.

On the other hand, in Ali Abbas's film co-starring Arjun Kapoor and Priyanka, Ranveer Reportedly gets to do what all Hindi film heroes are scripted to do - beat the living daylights out of Their adversaries. "Maneesh Sharma, my manager in Both my Earlier films, tells me that I am an action hero. He says, 'You are built for that genre, that's your home ground and it's strange That you were Launched in a rom com And This intense lover image has been created. ' Having shot for Ali's film, I can tell you, it's my favorite genre now. "

Given That the Actor is Known for his infectious and Often runaway energy on the sets, we are curious to know how I coped With The Demands of the very different setups while shooting for Lootera and Ram Leela. Explains Ranveer, "Vikramaditya has the Most Organised and supportive That unit works like clockwork. I can tell you 20 days before the shoot When and where you will have lunch. He knows what is to be shot, but I Also Gives you your space to improvise. Mr Bhansali is all about spontaneity. He is not bound by schedules or budgets or logistics. If It Takes 40 Takes, I will not move till I achieves magic, "I says.

Talking about how I missed Working with his 'adolescent crush' Kareena Kapoor twice (in Bhansali's and now Reportedly in Zoya's film), Ranveer says: "I would love to work with her ... I have always expresaron my admiration for her. She is a super actor and what I hear, it is lot of fun to work with her. But, I am hopeful That eleven o'clock the opportunity presents itself again, it will be a special film. "

No more nudity or lovemaking in Hollywood

Hollywood films are increasingly choosing not to show nudity or lovemaking. Here's why ...

Back in the '80s and '90s, when, judging by Bollywood, flowers got way more action than humans in India did, and a hero and heroine running around trees was Largely Understood by the Indian audience as code for 'they're doing it 'Hollywood was a lot less subtle acerca shoving lovemaking or woman-stripping-down-to-underwear scenes into every film - Whether it was a romcom or a film acerca Tom Cruise saving the world or even one acerca That was a bunch of people drowning on a ship. The script Demanded it, the audience Demanded it, and - judging by host Seth MacFarlane's 'boob song' at this year's Oscars, That detailed how a row of Oscar winning actresses bared Their chest in movies They won Their Oscar for - the critics Demanded it too!

Bizarrely, 2012-13 has seen a role reversal of sorts Between the two industries. While sex scenes are turning out to be major crowd pullers in desi theaters (Bhatt sahab Besides keeping still in business), a recent market report commissioned by Warner Bros have revealed That more and more U.S. studios, on the other hand, are choosing not to Their Protagonists have strip / consummate on screen Because, apparently, sex does not sell anymore. Your reaction to this May be 'whaaat?', And Rightly so, Because ACCORDING to the report, "one of the last big steamy moments to heat up cinema screens and score big box-office figures was the intimate in-car moment Between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in 1997's Titanic. " That was sixteen years ago! So, what happened?

Sex does sell, superheroes do
Judging by the summer's biggest blockbusters, the world needs lesser sex scenes, and more of the Avengers superheroes and Those space-alien-robots from the Transformers series. And more animated / CGI characters Certainly would not hurt. Just sample 2012's biggest Hollywood hits worldwide:
The Avengers - $ 1,511,757,910
Skyfall - $ 1,108,561,013
The Dark Knight Rises - $ 1,084,439,099
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - $ 1,017,003,568
Ice Age: Continental Drift - $ 877 244 782
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 - $ 829,224,737
The Amazing Spider-Man - $ 752 216 557
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted - $ 742 110 251
The Hunger Games - $ 691 247 768
Men in Black 3 - $ 624 026 776

As Vincent Bruzzese film research expert said in a recent interview, "Sex scenes used to be written, no matter the plot, to spice up a trailer. But today all that does is get to film an Adults-only rating and lose to younger audience . Today, Such scenes are written out by producers even before They are shot. They ask: do we really need the sex? Can we fill the Space with dazzling special effects instead and keep the family rating? "

As per some stats provided by The Sun, a decade ago, 120 films Given an 'R' (restricted) rating broke into the U.S. box office top 10. Last year, there were only 80. And the report says Most of These movies were certified 'R' Because of violence, and not sex. In fact, only one out of the 25 highest-grossing movies - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 - had any getting-it-on sequence worth talking about.

Adrian Lyne, director of the mega-erotic films Fatal Attraction, Indecent Proposal and Unfaithful too Told Entertainment Weekly, "Fatal Attraction Would get made at a studio today? Not in a thousand years. I can not think of the last relationship That piece was a success - I'm not sure the studios even make them anymore. Which is apparently why I have not done something for quite a while now. "

Also, offending women is no longer such a good idea to
According To the report, it is women who form a major part of the movie-going audience, and "they find gratuitous sex scenes That Do not fit the plot a major turn-off". Recently, Alice Eve randomly and unnecessarily stripping to her underwear in Star Trek Into Darkness was so offensive Deemed its writer Damon Lindelof That actually took to Twitter to apologize to his fans, saying, "We Should Have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress. " Director JJ Abrams too ADMITTED in an interview, "Some people see it as exploiting her (Eve), and while she is lovely, I can also see Their point of view."

The critics aren't a big fan of sex anymore
There was a time When Besides Holocaust movies, graphic nudity container containing films were Considered a soft spot for Academy voters. Halle Berry's sex scene in Monster's Ball was as much Talked about as her acting, same goes for Kate Winslet's derriere in The Reader. While hosting the Oscars in 2011, Anne Hathaway acerca had joked how she did not receive a nomination for her movie Love And Other Drugs DESPITE getting naked in it, while the kind of PR the lesbian scene in Black Swan Natalie Portman Could generated for only have Helped her bid to win the gold statuette.But this time around, Jennifer Lawrence, who won an Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook, did not have a single sex scene THROUGHOUT the movie - And This, DESPITE playing the role of a sex addict in it!

If we look at Bollywood though, Vidya Balan's ooh-la-la act in The Dirty Picture had critics throwing awards at her feet.

Also ...
The no-nudity clause is really, really expensive
Did you know Halle Berry was paid an additional $ 500,000 to flash her breasts briefly in Swordfish? The Telegraph points out, "Buying a Hollywood actress out of her no-nudity clause is an expensive business (a single bared breast will cost more than a cyber winged fireball-spewing dragon, voiced by Harrison Ford, and get fewer hits on YouTube) .

Besides ... People Have ready access to porn
"You can not just put gratuitous T & A into movies anymore, like a steamy shower-sex scene out of nowhere. Those scenes are never rated highly by test audiences Unless it's part of the plot. Moviegoers will say, 'Why am I going to Pay to See That When I can google it? ', "says Bruzzese adds. Oddly, sex scenes are making quite a comeback graphic on U.S. television, on shows like Girls, Game Of Thrones and Homeland, que are a favorite with audiences and critics alike.

I was called an Indian princess at Cannes: Vidya Balan

Our girl in pink, Vidya Balan, on why Spielberg is like an uncle and how she's dying to be back in Kolkata with Kahaani 2

Flashing skin and looking OTT, she had shocked and awed at the press meet of The Dirty Picture. Only she Could have pulled off the pregnant belly During The Kahaani current promotions. But Thursday was different. In a polka-dotted top and Minnie Mouse hairdo for the Ghanchakkar promotions in Kolkata, she was a hint of sugar with a fair dose of spice. Obviously, Vidya Balan did not disappoint - but does she ever? Excerpts:

Between your last visit and now, so much has changed in Kolkata. Rituparno Ghosh is no more ...
It's shocking. Rituda had spoken to me about different films. It had Become a joke between us. Every year, I would call eleven o'clock to say, 'Ebar kortei hobe'. And I would say, 'Yes, Rituda, This year it's the end'. I heard almost seven-eight scripts over seven years. I remember him calling me on June 30, 2005. I had just finished the post-release promotions for Parineeta and was going to Tirupati with my family. I could not believe my ears! I had watched Asukh at MAMI and loved the film. Since then, we kept in touch. Whether it's a film called Rahgeer, revolving around a movie director and his muse, Debi Chowdhurani - we discussed This a lot. Then, there was another film That had short stories on divorce and marriage ...

Cannes How was the experience? You said you were treated like a princess, while the review back home differed Largely ...
Frankly, I do not read anything. I do not watch TV. There, I did not have email access. That's because i chose to concentrate on my jury duty. When you go for a movie, you are not allowed to take your mobile phone inside. I was disconnected from the rest of the world. I would only speak to (husband) Siddharth (Roy Kapur) and my family eleven to day. I did not know what was happening. There, everyone complimented me left, right and center. I was called an Indian princess and of course, the jury was treated like royalty. When I came back, I heard there has been some amount of criticism. Some people had really liked what I wore and some did not.

Is not looking good all the time too much of pressure?
I used to feel pressured till 2007. Not anymore. Even after That, I had Told myself I would not let pressure build. But It Takes a lot of time. Today, I do not read anything. I just look at the mirror, if I'm happy, I walk out. I can keep one person happy. But if I try to make the whole world happy, then chances are not only will they be unhappy, the person in the mirror will Also be miserable.

How was it meeting jury members Nicole Kidman and Steven Spielberg?
Nicole Kidman is as tall as the Qutub Minar. I have not met a woman in my life workshop and she was fantastic. She is very soft-spoken. Even When She laughs loudly, it's like laughing softly by our standards. They are all very gracious. Spielberg, Considering That he is The most successful filmmaker in the world, is extremely humble. I felt I was sitting with my own uncle. I Reminded me of a relative. He spoke to me like my uncle. At the end of the day, we got to share our passion for cinema and it was great being in That space. It gave me an opportunity to learn so much. Not just about cinema, I had a great realization - Either The most humble people Become really great or the greatest are the humblest.

Back to your film, how's Neetu, the homemaker in Ghanchakkar different from Vidya, the homemaker?
Very, very different. Neetu cooks all the time. And she dresses up all the time. She wears western clothes means only modern western thinking. So, she goes through fashion magazines, cuts out pictures of models. She can not afford designer wear, so she picks up Kapda from the wholesale market and Gives it to her tailor and says, 'This is the photo. Make it this way. ' She has her own way of dressing up, que is disastrous. Also, she is a full-bodied woman. After The Dirty Picture, Rajkumar Gupta told me, 'Do not lose weight. I want you to be like this'. During The Dirty Picture, I did exercise and barring the last part, I did not look flabby. Began When the abuse towards the end of the film, she was oozing all over. For Ghanchakkar, I did not exercise. Neetu is a normal person. The clothes she wears make her look bigger. Subarna Roychowdhury has done a wonderful job. She would pick up amazing stuff from Linking Road but then, Rajkumar said, 'You are dressing Neetu, not Vidya'. That Brought back perspective. And she came up with some outlandish stuff. I have some chappals That have bananas on top. Neetu is a bit mad and kinky as well.

Considering That Siddharth is the producer of Ghanchakkar, is it always work at home?
When Rajkumar came to me with the film, Siddharth and I were not married. We were seeing each other and by then, everyone Knew. Told apparently Siddharth Rajkumar, 'If you have to approach Vidya, do so by all means, but I'll have nothing to do with it. If she says yes or no, I'm out of the scene '. So Rajkumar came to me, but it took me eight months to say yes because i was busy in between with The Dirty Picture and Kahaani promotions. Finally, I said yes and when to I brought it up with Siddharth, I said, 'Do not tell me anything about the script. Just go and convey it to them '. And on everything, Whether it's money, contract, dates, we did not discuss anything. Not even our first impressions of the script. I did not even tell me after I saw Ghanchakkar. I really think he is ghanchakkar. I told him, 'Do not forget that I'm your wife now and You have to tell me'. I said, 'No, I do not want to discuss that'. This helps us retain the sanctity of our marriage. Yes, we talk acerca films. We watch a lot of films, TV shows together. With him, I've started going out a lot to the theaters. But we do not discuss work or people from work at all.

Emraan've Said That I can not talk about the kissing scene in the film, since your husband is the producer ...
Yes, there's a kissing scene. The film is acerca a couple who is married for five years. There's intimacy. I'm okay with it. Emraan likes to joke about it and keep the suspense up. But that's not the only element of suspense in the film.

Are you coming back to Kolkata with Kahaani 2?
I would love to. Please tell Sujoy (Ghosh) to write Kahaani 2 quickly. But I think he's a bit busy. He'll be involved in. completing Rituda's film and the script Might take a bit longer to finish. But I'm really looking forward to it.

Nothing has changed about 'Scary Woman's' style sense! And gawd Those fringes ... less said the better! Now she is scaring away people in Vegas. Why would one wear a tight waist-coat When One have disproportionately huge rack??? Defies logic. BTW the lady next to scary anorexic woman is a mother of two.

Gawd ... how can one be dressed so hideously??? Somebody please gift Anjalee Kapoor a full-length mirror. Here is what she wore for a luncheon at Blliis By Ravissant do, hosted by Charoo Anand and Tanisha Mohan Chawla.

Those sunglasses ... they are scary. And that body-wrap maxi dress, well it's definitely not meant for woman with tummy-rolls! I was secretly wishing That Anjalee Kapoor hideous would change her dressing sense in 2013 but hey its Become worse.
