Even as Lamhaa was inching towards the finishing mark, film maker Rahul Dholakia had begun work on his next film Society. Now that Lamhaa has come and gone, Rahul has further brought changes to his satire. Instead of Society, the film would now be called Society Kaam Se Gayi and the reason behind this change is none other than Madhur Bhandarkar. Rahul gives out a hearty laugh here, "You know whenever I spoke about Society, people used to ask me if this was a serious film. I can...

After Lamhaa and the almost-completed social satire Society, Rahul Dholakia is all set to direct a film for Ravi Chopra, again based on a "burning" issue. But this time the issue that Dholakia who made films on the Gujarat communal riots (Parzania) and Kashmir, is not political. It's about the loopholes in the legal system. Ironically, the Chopras got themselves into a legal budge over the copyright of their latest film Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai which was an adaptation of the Hollywood film My Cousin Vinny. Apparently, Dholakia's film is inspired by the Chopras' encounter with legal issues. Says Dholakia, "Right now it's slightly early to talk about the project. But yes it tackles legal issues. I can't comment on whether Mr. Bachchan is in the film. It is every director's dream to direct him." Rahul Dholakia's telescopic look at the militancy and Kashmir in Lamhaa has earned him...

Bipasha Basu is attempting to ditch her Bengali accent during the dubbing of upcoming film Lamhaa, to more accurately portray her character.
The actress has reportedly been secretly practicing her diction for months in an effort to get her performance perfect. Though Bengali is Bipasha’s first language, Lamhaa – a socio-political drama tackling the issue of militancy in Kashmir – calls on Bips to speak fluent Urdu as a Kashmiri Muslim.
"It is tough, really tough because I don't really understand Urdu. But I'm never one to shun the urge to learn. I find it great fun. And my director Rahul Dholakia is very patient and chilled out," Bipasha said of the challenge.
Director Rahul Dholakia has reportedly enlisted sound recordist Manoj Sikka to help monitor Bipasha’s diction to ensure its accuracy.

At this very moment, Bipasha Basu is going through the biggest challenge of her career. She has to drop her anglicized-Bengali accent and diction completely to sound like the Kashmiri Muslim girl she plays in Rahul Dholakia's Lamhaa. Which is easier said than done. Even when Bipasha had done a Bengali film, Rituparno Ghosh's Shob Charitra Kalpunik, she had been forbidden by the director from dubbing her own lines although Bengali is her mother tongue. This time, though, Bipasha was determined to not allow her voice-performance to suffer on the grounds of her accent. For months, the actress has been secretly practicing her lines. And now when the dubbing is finally on, Bipasha with the help of the sound recordist Manoj Sikka is giving the Urdu her best shot. According to her director Rahul Dholakia, who's constantly supervising Bipasha dubbing, the actress has made the strongest effort possible...
