When 'Star Wars' Daisy Ridley had coffee with Harrison Ford!!

Rising star Daisy Ridley is who all set to create a name for herself with JJ Abrams much awaited Star Wars The Force Awakens releasing on 25th December, fondly recollects the first time she met Han Solo aka Harrison Ford and had coffee!!

When asked about her first time meeting with the veteran superstar Daisy said, “When I first met Harrison, we just sat down for a coffee together. He was talking about his experience in the whole thing, not just Han Solo, but the “Star Wars” saga. Then we all had dinner together, which was great”

The actress further showers effusive praise on Director JJ Abrams, who helped her immensely despite the pressures of an ensemble cast and ‘Star Wars’ expectations

“J.J. is amazing. I’ve never really been on a film set before, and everyone adores him. He's very kind, very generous. He was so great at the beginning because I was so nervous. He’s so patient, which is really important for me because I spent a lot of time going, I can’t do this. He made sure everyone on set was feeling great. There’s no one not worthy of a hello and a thank you. There have been so many moments when he’s gotten on the mic and told everyone that the work they’re doing is incredible, which it is. They’re getting that warmth from him that is needed. In such a big film personal relationships can be lost. But, because he is who he is, they’re not at all. Everyone feels praise. Everyone feels loved. Everyone feels appreciated. That is so important. He’s created this incredible world, and in the real world he’s this incredible man as well.” 

Daisy plays Rey , one of the leads of Star Wars: The Force Awakens releasing on 25th December 2015

JP Dutta glad with Ranveer Singh-Arjun Kapoor’s ‘Border Dubsmash’

Arjun Kapoor’s recent Dubsmash on the 1997 hit number ‘Sandese aate hain’ from JP Dutta’s Border has impressed the veteran filmmaker and his daughter Nidhi Dutta.

JP Dutta is glad the younger generation of actors like Arjun still remembers and cherishes movies which the filmmaker used to make and also the songs from the movies of the 90s.

Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor’s regular tweets and Dubsmashes dedicated to each other are known to all. Ranveer recently teamed up with Ayushmann Khurrana to dedicate a Dubsmash to Arjun. They lip-synced to ‘Pardesi pardesi jaana nahi’ to Arjun complaining about how Arjun has no time for him anymore and calling him back to the country.

In response to Ranveer’s complain, Arjun made a Dubsmash on ‘Sandese aate hain’ from Border by smartly picking up the line ‘Main vaapis aaunga’ from the song.

JP Dutta says, “It’s nice to see the young brigade of Bollywood reliving the songs of the 90s and making Dubsmash videos of the same which is also a testimony of the fact that the evergreen songs are still loved by all generations.”

Very soon the veteran filmmaker will be launching his daughter Nidhi Dutta with his home production, Jee Bhar Ke Jee Le, directed by Binoy Gandhi.
