For Satish Kaushik, who has been a part of countless comedies in his stint as an actor in 100 odd films, it was clear from the very onset that Gang Of Ghosts had to improvise a lot over the original Bengali film Bhooter Bhabishyat. For starters, he made sure that none of his actors underplayed their act and the film was much faster paced as well as vibrant.I loved Bhooter Bhabishyat. I think its core plotline is just fantastic. However, if you watch the whole film, it was on...

Mumbai, March 14: Actress Mahie Gill says after watching her forthcoming film "Gang of Ghosts", the audience will fall in love with spirits.

"Gang of Ghosts", directed by Satish Kaushik, is a remake of Bengali blockbuster "Bhooter Bhabishyat". It is slated to release March 21.

"...I am sure after watching the film, the audience will surely fall in love with the ghosts," she told reporters in an interview.

The actress admits that she is scared of ghosts but has learned to overcome her fear.

"I'm very scared of ghosts. I keep all the lights on, wherever I stay, be it at my home or in a hotel," she said.

The film also features Sharman Joshi, Rajpal Yadav, Anupam Kher, Chunkey Pandey, Saurabh Shukla and.

New Delhi, Feb. 27(Ani): Sharman Joshi, Mahi Gill and Satish Kaushik launched the music of their upcoming movie, 'Gang of Ghosts' in Mumbai.

Speaking about the film, the '3 idiots' star said, "This film is a remake of a Bengali film 'Bhooter Bhabishyat' (future of a ghost) and that film was a well-made film and when we went for the shoot of the film, we all knew that we were working on a great script and the director of the film, Satish Kaushik, is also a fine actor so when we were performing his brilliance as an actor helped to bring out the character and all in all it was a great shoot."

The 'Dev D' actress said, "I was behind Kaushik all the time that since you are directing the film you should act in at least one scene.

For 20000 odd audience at Mahalaxmi Race Course, it was one 'ghostly' sight that would be unforgettable for time to come. Thankfully, there was ample fun element in it as well that diluted the scare factor that is otherwise associated with ghostly sagas. "That happened yesterday when out of a sudden, a bunch of 'Ghost Riders' arrived out of nowhere," comments an observer, "As it turned out, these ghosts were the likes of Mahie Gill, Meera Chopra, Jacky Shroff, Chunky Pandey and Saurabh Shukla. Since each one of them plays a ghost from different eras in Gang of Ghosts, it was widely felt that their spooky appearance amidst much fanfare would not just bring in humor to all the clamor at the race course but also aid in bringing added eyeballs for the film." This is the reason why director Satish Kaushik and his producer partner Ratan Jain were thrilled when...

It had seemed that clash of ghosts had been averted, what with Amitabh Bachchan's Bhoothnath Returns getting a solo arrival once Satish Kaushik's Gang of Ghosts decided to arrive a week earlier. However, it is back to ghosts meeting each other in theatres, what with Gang of Ghosts being further advanced by a week and now all set for a face/off with Ragini Mms 2. "Yes, Ratan Jain and Satish Kaushik's Gang of Ghosts would now arrive on March 21. This is the same day that Ekta Kapoor had fixed for her sequel of Ragini Mms. There are indeed a lot of ghosts in the air," quips our source. Incidentally, despite ghosts in there, genre of both films is quite distinct. "Balaji's Ragini Mms 2 is being marketed as a 'horrex' affair, and has ample elements of horror and erotica in there. On the other hand, Gang...

Not many Bengali films make it out of Calcutta and pierce the international film consciousness, however, one very recent film got close. Anik Dutta's Bhooter Bhabishyat was one of the best received Bengali mainstream films in recent memory, and thanks to a fully subtitled, good looking print on YouTube, a lot of people who normally wouldn't care got to see it. Genuinely funny and nearly deserving of its two hour runtime, Bhooter Bhabishyat was a neat ghost comedy that resonated with audiences across India.Anik Dutta is back, and he's bringing the big guns this time. Ashchorjyo Prodeep is a contemporary Aladdin story about a struggling man who gets a much needed push from a modern genie. However, just like with any story like this, you...
