Badmaash Company

Coldest day on the American schedule...!

2010-05-18T13:03:00.001+05:30

This was the coldest day on the American schedule of Badmaash Company. The weather changed drastically and it started raining heavily. However, in the film, it’s supposed to be summer so to make it comfortable for the actors, the production organized 6 big heaters to keep the balcony and the room warm. The director Parmeet made changes in the scene and so an exterior scene was shifted to an interior one. This is the scene where the 4 plan their final and biggest scam...;-)

Parmeet Sethi the Perfectionist..!

2010-05-17T21:25:00.003+05:30

This is one of the trickiest shots in the film, which is a point of view of a ball in the roulette table in the scene where Shahid is losing money. This sequence was shot throughout the night and this was the last shot taken at 6 am – the whole unit was sleepy but the director (Parmeet Sethi) wanted a feel of real time in the film, where he wanted Shahid to look tired and frustrated after loosing all night.

Gambling session....!!!

2010-05-17T14:31:00.005+05:30

Shahid & Anushka had never gambled in their life till the time they shot for this film. To make the scene look authentic director Parmeet Sethi gave them $100 each one night before the shoot and asked them to gamble, so that they experience the spirit of winning and loosing on the roulette table. This strategy was both advantageous and non-advantageous. While on one hand it helped the actors to give a brilliant shot in the film, on the other hand, Shahid lost a lot of money in these 'practice sessions!' ..;-)

Jet lagged...!!!

2010-05-16T21:09:00.007+05:30

This moment was the first shot being taken in the American schedule. In the film it is the intermission sequence for Karan, Bulbul, Zing and Chandu after arriving in America. The whole unit was jetlagged after a 24 hour flight from India. Chang and Vir were so sleepy that they went off to sleep in their cars! This turned into a hilarious situation because the Assistant Directors kept looking for them for more than an hour. You can see Sanjay Kapoor (the DOP) in a similar situation! ;-)

I enjoy the Genre very much - Parmeet Sethi

2010-05-10T16:33:00.004+05:30

Shahid Kapoor-starrer Badmaash Company, about four friends doing con jobs to become rich overnight, has got good reviews and viewers have enjoyed their capers but first time director Parmeet Sethi says he wrote the script of the film in frustration.

"The bell actually rang three years back when I was sure that I will direct a film. This is the second script that I have written," Parmeet said.

"Yash Raj Films (YRF) had approved my first script too, but we couldn't make it. I waited for one and a half years, but the film didn't take off and I was frustrated. I was in a dilemma whether to stick to my plans to direct a film or go back to acting. Then in frustration, I wrote this script," he added.

"I had five ideas with me out of which two were most compelling. I wanted to write another script before this but that required research work in Canada, which would have taken six months. I didn't have the money. I didn't have the time. So I chose this one because I enjoy the genre very much. I think no one has done a full-on con film intelligently," the actor-turned director said.

Set in the 1990s, Badmaash Company is about four young friends - Shahid, Anushka Sharma, Vir Das and Meiyang Chang - from middle-class Mumbai who get together to start a company. Their business is an instant hit because they find a way to beat the system by doing all the wrong things in a right way.

The critics have praised the film despite it being too long.

"First, I worked out the whole con thing in my head, then I put it down on paper as script and then wrote dialogues. There are four con jobs in the film and I had to come up with interesting ideas each time to make it as believable as possible," said Parmeet.

To get the right feel of the 1990s, he shot some scenes in Hyderabad.

"The cars, the houses and other locations that we shot in Mumbai, I was particular about everything because I wanted to bring the essence of the 1990s. I actually went to Hyderabad to shoot the airport scene. Mumbai airport of today is very, very modern. But the Hyderabad airport still looks like the old Mumbai airport," he said.

The director, who worked with freshers like Vir and Chang, says he signed Anushka Sharma on Aditya Chopra's recommendation.

"I wanted some very fresh faces and Vir and Chang were the perfect choice. I didn't want to have predictable faces. Anushka was Adi's recommendation. I didn't know her personally. I was a little doubtful, but Adi assured me that I'll like her once we meet," he said.

Parmeet, who featured in Aditya's directorial debut Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), says he was skeptical while approaching YRF to produce the film.

"I spoke over phone and asked for an appointment with Adi and I got it. That's all I did. In the last 15 years I hardly met Adi as he hardly socialises...everyone knows that. I was hoping he hadn't forgotten me. But he not only gave me the appointment but gave me respect and was pleasantly surprised by my script," he said.

Parmeet now wants to be behind the camera and make more films but doesn't rule out the possibility of getting back to acting.

"I haven't said good bye to anything. I don't want to be cocky about life. But as of now it's only direction for me. I think this is my main career now."

2010-05-05T12:29:00.000+05:30

When it comes to direct interaction with the fans ,We cant stop but think of only one actor and thats Shahid Kapoor.

As many know, the industry’s first (and only) Zoom TV has launched a new show called Ring-A-Star where A star takes calls on TV, even as callers can connect directly with him and speak via phones and SMS call-ins.

Tonight it's Our Badmaash Karan aka Shahid Kapoor who is gonna take calls from his fans from all over the world,some of who will stay awake at odd hours across the world to chat with their Badmaash Company hero.

When we told Shahid that today he would be talking to all his Badmaash fans all over the world he couldn’t stop smirking and be glad to connect with his fans directly.

“I am overwhelmed and humbled,” “It’s a different feeling altogether to speak directly with your fans. They say such wonderful things that just make your day. And even their mild criticisms are so well-meaning. Nothing beats the power of fans. And nothing beats the power of direct connect. I thank ZOOM for this opportunity via this exciting new show Ring-A-Star.

So do call me tonight?” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Catch all the direct action of Shahid on Ring-A-Star where the fans will get to be in the company of the badmaash Shahid, with ZOOM hottie Supreet, only on Zoom — today May 5, at 8.30 pm. Callers can dial in at 58888901 (toll free) from anywhere in India.

When the Fans get Real Badmaash..;)

2010-04-23T16:16:00.000+05:30

There is something about Shahid Kapoor which makes him a great female magnet. Apparently after the release of Badmaash Companay promos Shahid Kapoor was flooded with messages,letters,calls from his female fans all over the world. Surprisingly this time they weren’t compliments, but they were warnings by the discontended fans asking shahid to stay away from intimate scenes. It is believed that the outpouring of emails started when the followers got a glimpse of Badmaash Company promo where Shahid is seen making love to Anushka Sharma.

In the midst of all those grouchy mails was a phone call from a female fan who actually managed to get shahid's number just to express her heartfelt disapproval.

This isnt the first time that female fans went crazy about Shahid's onscreen romance ,Even while shooting for the same film at a Beach in Bangkok, Shahid had to face an embarrassing situation when a group of blondes tried to pull his leg by openly asking him to bare his chest so that they could have a good look at him.

Looks like Shahid Kapoor has go to do some thinking...hmmm:)

Everyone has a little child inside :)

2010-04-21T11:31:00.000+05:30

The entire cast of Badmaash Company is indulging in some great activities these days, Recently Anushka Sharma with Shahid Kapoor, Vir Das and Chang joined Radio Mirchi on their eighth Anniversary to help collect toys from listners for underprivileged kids. Mirchi Toy Factory – Toy Do, Joy Lo is an initiative by the popular radio station RADIO MIRCHI which appeals to listeners to donate toys for less fortunate children, all the toys collected are sent to the NGO Children Toy Foundation which organises play hours for children at construction sites, slums, municipal schools and hospitals.

Karan, Bulbul, Zing and Chandu travelled in the bright Red van of the NGO looking notorious like kids themselves. Their adorable chemistry surly promises Badmaash Company to be a mind blowing experience ... :)

Going bonkers in Bangkok..;)

2010-04-19T17:05:00.000+05:30

A major portion of the film Badmaash Company was shot in Bangkok. The film unit often got confused with the people from Bangkok and their key cast member, Chang who often blended into the crowd.. !

Around the world $ Beyond !!!

2010-04-16T13:03:00.000+05:30

Badmaash Company has been shot on an elaborate scale. The unit travelled across to the US and Bangkok apart from the Mumbai schedule. The film surely has some great locations to watch out for !

Praise for 'Badmaash Company'

2010-04-15T14:28:00.000+05:30

Hollywood flick "The Gamer" starring Gerard Butler has been shot in the same casino and on the same table as "Badmaash Company".
The Casino authorities praised Badmaash Company crew for being more organized and professional than Hollywood crew at the end of the shooting.

Parmeet Sethi goes Shopping for the Badmaash's !!!

2010-04-13T13:36:00.000+05:30

The most popular song from Badmaash Company “Ayaashi” has Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Meiyang Chang and Vir Das in an extremely glamorous look which surly is mind blowing. When the director of the film, Parmeet Sethi saw the clothes that had been selected for the song, he immediately rejected them. He wanted the look to be just perfect, so he actually went out to genuine designer stores and shopped for the cast in New York. The boys turned out looking classy and Anushka couldn’t be more elegant and hot.

Work Hard , Party Harder !!!!

2010-04-10T13:43:00.000+05:30

One of the scenes in the movie had to be shot at a Beach showing the Badmaash Gang having a mid-night party.The cast and crew enjoyed doing that scene so much, that even after the shoot was over, the party continued! So much so, that alcohol and food was called in for, and the party carried on with people having late night swims in the sea and having a cheerful time..:)

Friends will be Friends after all...:)

2010-04-09T16:42:00.000+05:30

Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma,Vir Das and Meiyang Chang have come together for the first time in Badmaash Company. Although they all were really excited to work together, the real friendship was seen only after the first schedule which started in USA. That was the place where the fabulous foursome got along like a house on fire. This very friendship is the result of their bonding onscreen performances for sure, by the time the second schedule started in Bangkok they were having an extremely enjoyable time... :)

Mey hun Bulbul singh :) !!!!

2010-04-01T12:47:00.000+05:30

Anushka Sharma the silent looking cute girl from ''Rab de bana di jodi'' has hit it big with her new dashing look. "Mujhe ek top model banna hai" Bulbul singh (Anushka) undoubtedly comes off as a complete surprise package. Her dream to be the topmost model in the industry is what drives her to be a part of this crazy gang. Her sense of style is going to blow your minds off!!!

Check out the trailer...http://bit.ly/bFuJlu

Chandu is Funduu !!!!

2010-03-31T14:15:00.000+05:30

Vir das (Chandu) one of the most successful stand up Comedians in the world will be playing the role of 'Badmaash' along with Karan, Bulbul and Zing. Chandu seems to be a guy with desire to make films, which comes out in the scene where he suggests Karan to make a film, casting Madhuri Dixit along with him. The provoking part about Vir Das is that, you can expect a lot from this international comedian who is performing a brilliant role sharing great chemistry with his co-stars. Chandu's role will be very promising and highly entertaining .

Karan saves Bulbul....!!

2010-03-31T11:07:00.000+05:30

Shahid and Anushka were shooting for a music video under the supervision of Ahmed Khan on sunday evening, when a huge chandelier which was hanging by the ceiling suddenly came crashing down to the ground .The chandelier would have fallen straight on Anushka Sharma if it wasn't for Shahid's quick reflexes. A fraction of second before the chandelier hit the ground Shahid pushed the stunned Anushka out of the situation causing no injury to her. Ahmed Khan felt it was his mistake that the instructions went a little away.

Shahid Kapoor was very humble to comment “This is the sort of thing anyone would do, given the situation"

Karan :Ek na ek din mein Duniya ka Sabse bada admi banunga !!!!

2010-03-30T15:57:00.000+05:30

"Karan" is this cool ambitious guy who has big dreams to make truck loads of money in a short period of time, he is highly ambitious and certainly knows how to talk to his clients and do great business with them.Karan also seems to be the driving force behind all his three friends as they keep approaching him with their ideas.

Karan's character in the movie definitely has many more interesting aspects to look out for...

Shahid Kapoor and Anushka having a Ball !

2010-03-29T16:31:00.000+05:30

The good-looking lead pair had a fantastic time shooting for the film on the sets of “Badmaash Company”. There were a few sequences in the movie where the cast needed to shoot some water sports and games. Shahid and Anushka were seen taking this sportsmanship very seriously and carried on playing games like badminton and beach volleyball even after the pack up, which was quite surprising. Moreover it was Anushka who beat Shahid most of the times..

Keep watching this space to know more about what happens on and off sets..:))
