Herry Tangri will be a part of Vivek Agnihotri’s next film!
Last seen in Bhag Milkha Bhag, the actor is rejuvenated to be the lead again. He will be seen as the lead actor in the movie Freedom.
In Bhag Milkha Bhag he had a very small role but, that was enough for the actor to attract the attention of the directors. He has been playing many small roles but, that doesn’t deter him for going for the big prize. He was publicly quoted saying that if he gets another movie as the lead, he would go for it.
According to the sources, director Atul Agnihotri saw him in Love Sex Aur Dhoka and was very appreciative of his acting prowess. He made up his mind to cast him in his next. The script of ‘Freedom’ was finalized and very soon, he signed him. Looking at the primitive backdrop of the movie with challenging aspects of the character, Herry readily agreed.
After LSD, the actor has turned down many directors as they were offering him with similar roles. Being an actor, he wants to keep on experimenting and pushing himself beyond limits. This movie gives him the chance to do so.
The movie also stars Salman Yusuf Khan of ABCD fame.

Actress Anisa’s Unique Valentine’s Day
Celebration
Actress Anisa who made a smashing Lead debut in Bollywood with ‘Baat Bann Gayi’, had some special and unique plans for Valentine’s Day this year. Instead of partying out or going out on a Romantic date, Anisa chose to celebrate her Valentine’s Day at an old age home in Mumbai.
When we contacted Anisa about the news, she confirmed to us by saying, “Yes! It is true, that I celebrated my Valentine’s Day in an old age home. I believe it is not necessary to celebrate your Valentine’s Day with that one person who is the Love of your Life. It can also be spent with people whom you respect, adore and matter the most.”
Recollecting the memories of her own Grandmother back home in London, Anisa said, “I stay away from my Granny and I miss her a lot. So, this Valentine’s Day I wanted to have a feel good feeling by spending the day with the people of her age.”
Well, that’s a really kind and good way to spend ones Valentine’s day and we all appreciate this kind of gesture from an Actress like Anisa herself. We wish her a happy and bright future ahead in the industry.

Rajat Kapoor has written to Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejiriwal to show them Ankhon Dekhi. Rajat Kapoor recently launched the trailer of his upcoming movie Ankhon Dekhi, which has got great response by the audience.
Rajat Kapoor who has directed the movie has been very keen and elated to show the movie to the people involved in the Aam Admi Party.
A very unusual storyline Akhon Dekhi is a story of a man who decided to believe in what he sees rather then what people ask him to believe. Rajat feels that the theme of the films and the Aam Admi party is same.
Like Aam Admi Party when some common people came together and now stand as a powerful group who have decided to bring a change themselves. Akhon Dekhi is also a change that has been bought by a man for himself.
The director has written a letter to the them and have invited them to come and watch this movie.
Directed by Rajat Kapoor, with an interesting cast including Sanjay Mishra, Seema Pahwa, Maya Sarao, etc, the film is set to release on 21st March.
Says Rajat Kapoor “we all talk about the ‘common man’ a lot- There are big discussions around this common man.But he has just become a symbolic being.
What does he really look like? Who really is he?What are his needs? His aspirations? His desires?Perhaps Bauji in Ankhon Dekhi embodies that common man.It would be interesting to see how somebody like Arvind Kejriwal, for example react to this common man..I think it would be an interesting encounter.”
