Q. You return with ‘Golmaal’ again. Are you looking forward to it?

Of course I am, because the first part was really appreciated and still people come up to me and say that they’ve formed ‘Golmaal Returns’ groups which is on the net also. When we started ‘Golmaal Returns’, we were very hesitant as it had to be funnier than or at least as funny as the first part. So there were many scripts we looked at but eventually we found one and we all thought that it was funnier than the first one.

Q. Did Sharman Joshi’s absence make you feel vulnerable?

A special promotional song costing Rs. 6 crore was shot by director Rohit Shetty for Golmaal Returns at the Filmistan Studios in Goregaon, Mumbai. The song, titled, Tha Karke, features the entire cast and crew of the film that included, Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Amrita Arora, Anjana Sukhani and Celina Jaitley. One can recollect, Shetty had shot a similar style number with the entire cast of his last film, Sunday and it featured in the film’s opening titles.

Audiences were awestruck as sultry Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley walked the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) ramp for fashion designer Varun Bahl. “Varun is very talented, in fact the right word for him is ‘creator’. I have landed in Delhi from London this morning just for his show, to support him,” Celina said Saturday.

The show “Unpredictable - A Tribute by Bahl for Essenza Di Wills” was conceptualized to reflect the designers’ happy state of mind.

“My collection has loads of bright colours and is very young,” Bahl told IANS after the show.
