Director David Dhawan , who collaborated with Salman Khan for the first time in 1997 film "Judwaa", said the actor is still as 'natkhat' (naughty) as he was while working on the twin drama.

Director Srijit Mukherjee said he always tries to avoid using computer graphics in his films and prefers to shoot in real locations.
	The filmmaker's upcoming film "Yeti Obhijaan" has been shot at an altitude of 12,000 feet on the Alps.

	The director said usually in landscape scenes with snowy hills, many directors use computer generated images but the real effect gets lost.
	"To my knowledge 'Yeti Obhijaan' is the first such film by an Indian production team and probably one of the firsts in world cinema where the shooting took place on a peak of the Alps at an altitude of 12,000 feet.
	"Some of the climax shots were taken in a dome-shaped structure which was built by our production team at a village and flown in a helicopter to the top of the peak," he said.

Director Kabir Khan says superstars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan don't bother about how much money each other's films have made at the box office.
	Kabir's last directorial venture "Tubelight" reportedly did a business of Rs 119 crore and the director says people in Bollywood are not bothered about numbers and it is all created by the media.

The FCAT has ordered the censor board to grant a U/A certificate to "An Insignificant Man", a documentary on the making of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
	The directors, Khushboo Ranka and Vinay Shukla decided to move to the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) after facing issues at the examining and revising committees of the board.
	The directors were apparently asked to bring NoCs (No Objection Certificates) from political leaders mentioned in the story.
	"This is a bittersweet victory for us. While we have got the judgement in our favour, it has taken a long time, lot of efforts and resources. I think Mr (Pahlaj) Nihalani's tenure was controversial due to the kind of decisions he made," Ranka told PTI.
	The filmmakers wanted the film to release in February this year, something that could not be possible due to certification issues with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Aamir Khan said it is unfair to only take the names of the Khans when talking about stardom as there are other actors, who are popular and doing extremely well in Bollywood.
	The 52-year-old actor cited the example of Akshay Kymar, whose latest film "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" has set the cash registers ringing.
	"I think it isn't fair when you take the three names (Shah Rukh, Salman, Aamir) while talking about stars. There are several talented stars in our film industry, who are extremely popular. Akshay's film 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' is doing good and people are liking it," Aamir told reporters.
	Shah Rukh and Salman's last releases - "Jab Harry Met Sejal" and "Tubelight" - respectively, failed to create box office magic.
	When asked if the audiences are now gravitating more towards content-oriented cinema and not star vehicles, Aamir said, "I think every creative person goes through ups and downs. We all try to do good work, which will be liked by people.
