STARBUZZ: Solo flight
When small fries like Laila start taunting Sana about how she got her solo-heroine break in Yeh Dil Aapka Huwa, it at least shows that the actress has made it big. This girl is perhaps the only ‘solo’ example in the entire film industry who has never complained about her fellow heroines, not even about those who, allegedly, made it big by hook or by crook. She has always maintained a steady “no-comments” or “all of them are good in their own right” stance. No wonder, today, she is reaping the fruits of her perseverance and hard work.
Of course, it took her a good few years to get a film like Yeh Dil, but the fact is that the directors swear by Sana’s sincerity to her work. She is one actress who didn’t hike her price overnight after the film’s success, with the result that today, she has got as many as 11 films on the studio floors, with another possible blockbuster-in-the-making, Sassi Punno, in which she has the title role. Sana also seems to have secured a place for herself on television.—-Abdur Rauf

We have seen him beating the heck out of villains on the big screen, but this time it is TV artists who are facing the wrath of Shan. In a recent interview, he used strong language against those TV artists who looked down on the Lollywood film industry. He is particularly critical of the fact that this year, three movies have been released which had directors with TV backgrounds, but all bombed and failed to leave an impression on the silver screen.Shan feels that TV people don’t know how to produce good quality movies, yet they always criticize the film industry. The brawny actor was also critical of the fact that most TV artists give statements saying they don’t want to work in the movies, but the fact of the matter, he feels, is they don’t get offers from tinseltown and these statements are merely a ploy to gain cheap publicity.
Well, one can only say that Shan has let the cat out of the bag, but what would he say about himself? The actor took refuge with the TV industry when he was booted from films in 1993 doing the serial Kachey Dhagey, which was written by Asif Ali Pota. Fortunately (or unfortunately) he totally flopped on the small screen and later was re-introduced in films by Syed Noor who cast him in his romantic movie Sangam and then Ghoongat.—M.J
