Sashehs past returns to haunt her

Sasheh AghaSasheh Agha may be happy singing and gyrating to the tune of 'Barbaadiyaan' in her debut flickAurangzeb. However, in real life her past is returning to haunt her in a big way. Her ex-lover Ruslaan Mumtaz, against whom she had apparently levied a few heavy duty charges, is now bringing his own comeback film on the same date as Aurangzeb. Not just that as the core theme of his film is uncanny similar to the real life trouble that had brewed between the couple when they were supposedly seeing each other.

"Ruslaan's film is called I Don't Luv U and it has an MMS scandal at the core of it. The film's plot is centered on a young couple whose MMS video is shot without their knowledge when they are in a compromising state. Now that is pretty much similar to the real life tale of Ruslaan and Sasheh. A MMS video had started floating that had Sasha kissing another guy. When she got to know about it, she accused Ruslaan of uploading the video, something that the youngster denied," informs a source.

While the upset mom and daughter promptly called for a press conference to clear the air by claiming that the clips featured someone else, Ruslaan broke off with Sasheh and went his own way. However, not many had even the briefest inkling of Ruslaan actually featuring in a film that had an uncannily similar theme and plot.

"While he consented to play a lead in the film, it is obvious that the story would be told from his point of view. As per Ruslaan, he wants to tell the world that how those who are in the video are more of victims than perpetuators of anything naughty or objectionable," the source adds.

What does appear to be pretty apparent (and naughty) is the fact that he chose to bring his film on the same day (17th May) when Sasha is all set for her big moment with Aurangzeb.

The makers of I Don't Luv U are maintaining an official stand that the film has nothing to do with the Ruslaan-Sasheh story. "It is instead based on the infamous 2004 MMS scandal that involved two school-going children from Delhi Public school, New Delhi", a source states.

Sasha- Ruslaan to clash at box office

Mumbai: After a bitter separation, ex-flames Sasha Agha and Ruslaan Mumtaz will now be clashing at the box office as well! Salma Agha’s daughter’s big screen debut Aurangzeb releases on May 17 -- the same date on which Ruslaan’s film ironically titled I Don’t Luv You releases.

The two youngsters were involved in a lot of acrimony when apparently an MMS of Sasha was leaked, where she was seen kissing a guy. Ruslaan immediately cut off all his ties with Sasha while she blamed Ruslaan for the controversy and leaking the MMS to the media for publicity.

Says a source, “Though both of them prefer not to talk about the past, the clash of the release dates is yet again bringing to the limelight their past.”

Adds the source, “It could be a ploy to garner publicity or maybe it was coincidental. But for Sasha who makes her first Bollywood outing in the Arjun Kapoor starrer, it is yet again a time to have her ex guy’s name being dragged with hers!”

Ruslaan finds Indian system hypocritical

Ruslaan Mumtaz, best remembered as the schoolboy from MP3, is back this time playing a college boy caught in an MMS scandal in I Don’t Luv U.

The actor, whose name cropped up in an MMS scandal in the past admits the subject still makes him uncomfortable. “I had initially rejected the film when I got a call from the director Amit Kasaria. He insisted that I listen to the script and by the end of it I had made my decision of acting in the movie,” he smiles.
Bollywood saw a film on MMS scandals, Ragini MMS, last year but the actor insists that his film is different. “That one was a horror film while ours is a love story. It’s based on the true incident where an MMS of two college kids was leaked and we show the turmoil that they had to go through”
While the actor is all gung ho about the movie there is one issue that has troubled him. The lyrics of the song Ishq Ki Maa Ki was changed to Ishq Ki Na Ki due to the censor board’s intervention. An upset Ruslaan says, “The promo of Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani has Ranbir Kapoor mouthing similar lines but that was passed by the censor board. I’m sure if my movie was produced by Karan Johar, no one would have a problem with the lyrics. What upsets me is that India as a system is so hypocritical.”
Baby-faced Ruslaan is being offered roles where he plays a school or college student and he has no problems. “There are not many actors who can play younger roles. Its fun playing such characters and it helps me relive my past.”
As the actor gets ready for his next movie Romeo Idiot Jattni Juliet he reveals that he has found his Juliet in real life too. “I am dating someone but I don’t want to talk about it, as I feel speaking about it is like a jinx.”

Mom worried I'll get serial kisser tag: Ruslaan Mumtaz

He has kissed three different heroines in three films. No wonder actor Ruslaan Mumtaz's actress mother Anjana was worried that afterEmraan Hashmi her son will get the "serial kisser" tag in Bollywood.

"My mother is worried, and she keeps telling me that 'no girl will marry you'. She feels I will create an image, a perception and will be called the next serial kisser. In three films, I have kissed three heroines already," Ruslaan told IANS. 

In his debut film MP3 - Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar (2007), he locked lips with Hazel Crowney, while in Teree Sang (2009), he was seen getting intimate with Sheena Shahabadi. If that wasn't enough already, in his third film I Don't Luv U, he once again gets up close and personal with his co-star. 

Releasing on May 17, the film will see him romancing debutant Chetna Pande. The story revolves around an MMS scandal, and how if affects the relationship of two youngsters. 

Ruslaan says he pacifies his mother with the fact that "you can't choose your films based on whether or not it has a kissing scene". 

"If I like a story, and it requires a kiss, it's okay. But I won't work with people who want to add a kiss to the story just like that," he said. 

Moreover, the 29-year-old believes the Indian audience doesn't need theatres and films to watch explicit scenes. 

"They have so many avenues where they can watch it all for free. There's internet, the phone...why would the audience pay Rs.300 for a ticket to watch intimacy in a film," said the actor. 

Nevertheless, he is quite comfortable kissing in front of the camera. 

"There's nothing personal about kissing for a film. There's no reaction to it. But when we were shooting for I Don't Luv U, Chetna was nervous. I told her, 'Just don't worry, and do it in one take'. That's the best way to do it. It gets uncomfortable when you have to do retakes and do it over and over again," said Ruslaan. 

I Don't Luv U, directed by Amit Kasaria and presented by Amrapali Media Vision, is produced byAnil Kumar Sharma in association with Pallavi Mishra. The movie is said to be inspired by the 2004 MMS scandal involving two school going students. 

Back in 2011, Ruslaan was himself embroiled in an MMS scandal, featuring the daughter of a veteran actress. He said he was "never involved" in it. 

"My only connection with it was that a close friend of mine featured in it, and it is only a coincidence that I am featuring in a film around an MMS scandal," he said.

Ishq Ki Maa Ki censored, lyrics changed to Ishq Ki Naa ki

The lyrics of Mika's newest Bollywood offering Ishq ki maa ki from the upcoming film I Don't Luv U had to be changed after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) raised objections to the lyrics. The song, which features in the movie's trailer, will now be called Ishq ki naa ki.

"We had to replace the word Maa ki with Naa ki in Mika's song in order to honour the Censor's verdict," Pallavi Mishra, the film's associate producer, told IANS.

I Don't Luv U, starring Ruslaan Mumtaz and debutante Chetna Pande, releases May 17. It is a movie on the modern youth and how casually they tackle relationships, with the backdrop of an MMS scandal.

Mishra said the term Maa ki was not used in a bad sense.

"It was used only to add some fun element and show the frustration of youth against love. It is another way of saying to hell with love, and nothing serious," she added.

The film, which is otherwise said to have been given a U/A certificate, is written and directed by Amit Kasaria. Presented by Amrapali Media Vision, it is produced by Anil Kumar Sharma in association with Pallavi Mishra.

Ruslaan Mumtaz is back with 'I Don't Luv U'

IndiaGlitz [Saturday, April 13, 2013]

After 'MP3 - Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar' and 'Teree Sang', the handsome Ruslaan Mumtaz returns to play the lead in Amrapali Media Vision's 'I Don't Luv U'.

Co-produced by Dr Anil Kumar Sharma and Dr Pallavi Mishra, the film is written and directed by Amit Kasaria. The film launches newbie Chetna Pandey while Murli Sharma, Ravi Khemu and Ragesh Asthana feature in key roles. Incidentally, Ruslaan was last seen in Karisma Kapoor starrer ' Dangerous Ishhq'.

Focused on the youth of today, 'I Don't Luv U' lays emphasis on the potential role of media in a common man's life. It elucidates that if misuse of media can jeopardizes commoner's life, at the same time, if used judiciously, it can act as savior.

The new generation's view of fast-track time-pass relationship has been portrayed in this film and it is scheduled for Indian theatrical release on 17th May 2013. The music label of the film is AMV Music.

About the film's story - Yuvaan (Ruslaan Mumtaz), a young handsome boy and Aayra (Chetna Pandeya) a beautiful NRI girl are just like any other teenager of this generation, who want to experience their life by getting together in a relationship.

Without realizing what they are doing in the heat of adolescence and the curiosity of discovering each other closely, they end up into an uncontrollably ugly situation, which shatters their life completely. Will Yuvaan fight back with circumstances to get his love and life back on track?

MMS scandal now on screen

By Subhash K. Jha, Apr 13, 2013 - 11:24 IST

Ruslaan Mumtaz, who in 2011, was embroiled in an MMS scandal with Salma Agha's daughter Sara, has now shot and completed a film entitled I Don't Luv Ubased on the infamous 2004 MMS scandal that involved two school-going children from New Delhi.

Says Ruslaan, "It's a college love story with an MMS as the conflict point. It is inspired by the 2004 MMS scandal, where a video of two school goers having sex was leaked on Internet." Model-turned-actress Chetna Pandey plays Ruslaan's co-star in film, and the movie, we hear, will leave little to imagination. 

Says Ruslaan, "It isn't a scandalous film. We shot the MMS-clip sequence carefully. You see, the boy had shot the clip without showing his face. We shot it exactly the same way. My face won't be visible on screen. But we will be caught in the act." 

The original was used by the director as reference-point for Ruslaan and Chetna's on-screen activity. "The original clip is easily available on the Internet. The story will be told from the point of view of the youngsters, who will be portrayed as victims. The boy's phone is shown to get misplaced, and the MMS is leaked all over the net. It's not about the scandal. It's about the trauma," reveals Ruslaan. 

What about the trauma that Ruslaan went through when he was accused of leaking an MMS clip of Salma Agha's daughter? "That wasn't me in the clip. But yes, I am no stranger to MMS scandals," he replies. 

Interestingly Ruslaan admits he lost control while shooting the MMS-sex sequence. "Basically in the heat of the moment I opened the zip on Chetna's dress and it almost fell off. It was a tough scene to shoot." 

Apparently, Ruslaan was at one time dating the girl whom he seduces into an MMS compromise in the film. "Well, yes we were very close long before we shot together for the film. I don't know if that made the love-making sequence easier or more difficult. But it was a tough scene to do."

Ruslaan Mumtaz is preparing to release his upcoming film I Don't Love U.

The movie, which has the tagline 'Love will never be the same again', revolves around the consequences of a leaked MMS clip.

"I Don't Love U is a college love story that goes wrong. An MMS leak causes the lovers to drift apart. It's a film about love, redemption and commitment. Women will love it and guys will identify," Mumtaz told Digital Spy.

The Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar and Teree Sang actor spoke about his absence from the big screen since last appearing in Karisma Kapoor's comeback vehicle Dangerous Ishq.

"There are not many actors who get offered solo films and it's way tougher to be cast in a solo film than a multi-starrer. Apart from that, I have been choosy regarding the characters I accept," he said. 

"MP3 and Teree Sang had really lovable characters to play.

"Just like them, the character of Yuvaan in I Don't Love U is really interesting and layered. I'm sure whoever watches the film will identify with him and fall in love with him. I guess it takes time to get roles that suit you and that's why the long wait."

A teaser for the film's first track, the Mika song 'Ishq Ki Maa Ki', has just released.

"'Ishq Ki Maa Ki' is a superb song sung by the super hit singer Mika. It's a total club song. it has the most entertaining lyrics ever," Mumtaz said.
