Rockstar music launch at Dargah

Director Imtiaz Ali often frequented the Nizamuddin Dargah during the shooting of his next, " Rockstar", that stars Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri. We had reported earlier that he had shot a qawwali sequence at the dargah.

And that's not the only connect the dargah has with the film – Ranbir's grandfather Raj Kapoor was a frequent visitor and would often bring his films' reels to the Sufi saint's shrine. Ranbir too, stayed there for a couple of days while shooting for the qawwali scene in the film. AR Rahman (the film's music director) has often expressed his reverence for the place, and Imtiaz is a regular.

During the Ganpati visarjan in Mumbai a few days ago, Imtiaz Ali had placed a copy of the film's music CD at the feet of the Ganesha idol at RK Studios in Chembur. Now, DT has learnt that the director has decided to release the music of "Rockstar" at Nizamuddin Dargah for an auspicious beginning.

The launch will probably be towards the end of this month, after the end of the Urs Mahotsav, and will be a night event. Imtiaz will be accompanied by Ranbir and a few members of the cast, and he is, apparently, also trying to convince Rahman to make a quick trip with them. At the launch, there will also be a qawwali session, where they will sing the qawwali that features in the film. Imtiaz was unavailable for comment, but dargah in-charge Syed Afsar Ali Nizami confirmed the news and said, "Imtiaz bhai has shot the qawwali at the dargah and even Rahman bhai has a very special place for it in his heart. The dargah features in the movie too, and we hope for the success of its music."

Nargis Fakhri bonds with Ranbir Kapoor's mom

From Deepika Padukone to Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra to Nargis Fakhri, actor Ranbir Kapoor has been linked with several pretty women in the Bollywood. Though it is difficult to say who among them is Ranbir's beloved, Headlines Today surely found his mommy Neetu Kapoor's favourite.

Nargis -- Ranbir's Rockstar female lead and rumoured girlfriend -- was spotted embracing his mum Neetu as the movie crew hosted a surprise birthday bash for the Kapoor lad.

However, what actually surprised the shutterbugs was Ranbir's guest list. While Nargis was busy scoring brownie points with Neetu, it was Ranbir's past flame Deepika who sent shockwaves amongst shutterbugs as she stepped in, looking gorgeous as ever.

It was interesting to note that Deepika arrived without her rumoured love interest Siddharth Mallya.

In fact, Deepika and Ranbir are reportedly trying to reignite their chemistry for an Ayan Mukherjee film. It was little wonder why Deepika too featured amongst friends like Priyanka and Nargis at the birthday boy's bash.

Truly a mamma's boy, Ranbir finally excited hurriedly with Nargis. Probably, it pays to be in the good books of your boyfriend's mother Nargis!

Rishi, Neetu Kapoor like Nargis Fakhri

Even before they knew she was part of Ranbir's film, his parents Rishi and Neetu Kapoor were captivated by Nargis Fakhri.

Nargis Fakhri has been constantly linked with Ranbir Kapoor ever since she was signed for the film Rockstar . But not many people know that even Ranbir's parents, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor have a liking for Nargis.

When she had just begun filming with Ranbir, Nargis found herself in a rather funny situation with her co-star's parents. The team had just commenced shooting in Delhi and Ranbir's parents – Rishi and Neetu Kapoor had come to visit the team on the sets. They were staying at the same hotel where Ranbir, Nargis and the other crew were put up.

Incidentally, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor were catching up with Imtiaz in the hotel lobby on arrival when they spotted a beautiful girl sitting across the hall, talking to someone. They were so captivated by her ethereal beauty and good looks that they immediately drew Imtiaz's attention towards the girl and exclaimed that such a pretty girl should consider making a career in Bollywood.

Imitiaz chuckled, telling Rishi and Neetu that she is indeed making her debut in Bollywood, and that too opposite their son Ranbir! That's when the Kapoor couple realized that the girl sitting in front of them was Nargis Fakhri! An amused Imitaz immediately called Nargis over and introduced her to the senior actors.

Later when the incident was narrated to Ranbir, they all shared a good laugh over it!

Nargis Fakhri proves she’s a true rockstar

Proving that she’s not just another pretty phoren face is Nargis Fakhri.

The recently released promos of Rockstar have established conclusively that Nargis shouldn’t be talked about solely for her alleged closeness to co-star Ranbir Kapoor or her marked resemblance to Katrina Kaif.

“Nargis has made the industry sit up and take notice of her at a time when not many felt she would be able to deliver on such a prominent stage. But the way Imtiaz (Ali) has given her so much of space in the promo proves the amount of trust he has in her ability,” said a filmmaker on condition of anonymity.

But there are still a few cynical voices. “A promo consists of the film’s best shots so obviously, Nargis is looking her best,” a trade analyst says.

“Her body language and dialogue delivery seem to be spot on. But will she sustain that throughout the film? For that, we need to wait and watch.”

Nargis Fakhri breaks her silence

Kapoor scion’s co-star from Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar finally gives first press interview to fashion glossy months before her Bollywood debut, confesses acting’s been tough Half-Czech, half-Pakistani Nargis Fakhri is Bollywood’s best-kept secret. Ever since the New York-based model signed on for Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar, opposite Ranbir Kapoor, she has been barred from making public appearances or giving interviews.
Now breaking the silence in her first-ever interview to fashion glossy Vogue India, the debutante admits that entering the glamour industry was a natural choice for her. “I was 16 when I started modelling. It wasn’t planned, but nothing in my life has or ever will be planned,” she says to the magazine, adding, “I’ve never been a movie buff. If I did go to a theatre to watch a film, half the time, I would fall asleep. As a child, I did watch some Hindi movies at home with dad, but I didn’t know who anyone was. I wasn’t interested, honestly.”

Nargis admits that unlike other struggling starlets, she was pursued to play the female lead in Rockstar, which is scheduled to release on November 11 this year. Recalling her first tryst with director Ali, she says, “I wasn’t very keen to meet him, but because the appointment was fixed in Prague, my mother’s birthplace, I thought, ‘Why not?’ I would learn more about my mum’s culture, enjoy a good holiday and see where this meeting would take me,” she reveals.

Signing the film was easy for the young actor, as was learning a new language. “It took me just three months to pick up Hindi. I guess I’m a fast learner when it comes to languages,” she boasts. But the real challenge was acting in front of so many people on a set for the first time: “It was really tough. I was lucky Imtiaz took me under his wing.”

Despite the preparation, the debutante did have a few breakdowns on the film sets. She admits, “I remember one dance sequence we were doing. I’m a good dancer, but dancing in front of so many people, coupled with the yelling and everyone trying to match steps… It really got to me, and I started crying.” Nargis calls co-star Ranbir, to whom she has been romantically linked, “caring and supportive”, adding, “I was a bit apprehensive about working with him at first. I was afraid he would make me feel like I’m not good enough.” But she denies any real life romance, saying, “We are just friends. I’ve always been a tomboy. I prefer hanging out with the dudes as they’re always doing fun things!”

Does that mean she’s single? She responds in the affirmative, adding that family is very important to her since she comes from a broken home. “One day, I’ll have many kids — maybe even adopt, if I don’t get married.”

Nargis Fakhri says Ranbir Kapoor is just a good old buddy

Nargis Fakhri has diligently kept away from the media and avoided answering questions about her relationship status. But, she has finally decided to speak up. A lot of guess work has been going on about her equation with Ranbir Kapoor, but, she never came forward to clarify her stand.

"I don't really care what people think- no matter what you say or do, they will think what they want to," she said in an interview to Vogue magazine. She will grace the cover of the coveted magazine in a forthcoming issue.

Fakhri denies being in a relationship at the moment, but candidly admits that she would love to be date someone. A good sense of humour, intelligence and spirituality are the three basic qualities she seeks in her companion.

The actress, who hails from New York has a Pakistani father and a Czech mother, and will be seen in Imtiaz Ali's much awaited film Rockstar, opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

When asked about Ranbir Kapoor she describes him as "a very caring and supportive coactor"." I was a bit apprehensive about working with him at first. I was afraid he would make me feel like I'm not good enough."

When asked about the comfort level she shares with him, she laughed it off and said: "Yes, we are just friends. Nothing more. You know, I've always been a tomboy, since childhood. I prefer hanging out with the dudes as they're always doing fun things," she adds as an afterthought.

Until she came to Mumbai, she did not even know Hindi."I can speak German, Spanish and even a bit of Greek.It took me just three months to pick up Hindi," she beemed.

Nargis is a big boon to our film: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor can't stop praising his co-star and debutante Nargis Fakhri - he says her presence is a boon to his forthcoming movie Rockstar and hopes that the audiences would be "kind to her" when they see her on screen.

"Nargis is an amazing actor. She is a big boon to our film. We are lucky to have her on board our film," Ranbir, who was looking like a rockstar in a pair of jeans, green kurta and a jacket, told reporters here on Tuesday.

"I pray that audiences accept Nargis as this is her first film. I request everyone to be kind to her. It feels really nice to know that people are liking our chemistry on screen."

Rockstar, slated for a November 11 release, is about a young successful musician and his tryst with love. While Ranbir plays the protagonist, Nargis, who is a half Czech-half Pakistani model, plays his love interest.

The actor visited the Centrestage mall here to unveil the poster of his film Rockstar and, as expected, the shopping arena swarmed with people cheering and hooting for the Kapoor scion.

Ranbir, who visited the Hazrat Nizamuddin dargah on Monday with director Imtiaz Ali, described it as a spiritual experience. "It was a very spiritual experience. I think we are lucky enough that Nizamuddin dargah gave us the opportunity to sing with the qawwals and sing the song with them at the dargah itself," said Ranbir.
