Zumba’s corporate slogan is
“Ditch the workout, join the
party.” At the Z-fest, no one is
going to count out the song’s
beat for you, or demonstrate
the choreography before the
song starts: You’re here to
party, my friend, not to take a
graduate seminar at the Dance
Notation Bureau
HENRY ALFORD
NYT SYNDICATE
HENEVER I read about people
who are in thrall to a dance
craze, my world suddenly
seems too small. Oh, to dance
the mazurka until my footmen
are forced to carry me home on a makeshift gurney at dawn; oh, to spurn a dinner invitation to
Scott and Zelda’s because I literally cannot stop
doing the Charleston.
More recent offerings like the achy-breaky
and the lambada held no appeal for me: One
brought to mind the phrase “ratty mullet”; the
other, “pelvic wallop.” For all I know, Macarena
is Portuguese for “a large room in which women
apply makeup.”
But I recently started doing Zumba, the dance
and fitness phenomenon that, in 125 countries,
has been whipping some 12 million people into
a lather for the last decade, including everyone
from Wyclef Jean to the writer Susan Orlean.
I can safely say that dance-wise it’s the closest
I have ever come to losing my mind. To wit:
When I went to an elegant stand-up cocktail
party in the San Remo building some weeks ago,
I was moved to enact for a fellow swiller of white
wine a bit of Zumba choreography that I think of
as the Disco Pony. Forming a fist with my right
hand and then raising it over my head, I rotated
it while standing on my left foot and rapidly pivoting 360 degrees. My Zumba origins are humble. I was initially drawn to the Z, as I like to call
it, because I wanted to be more limber and nimble. Yes, I was impressed that this combination
of Latin dance and cardio workout can cause you
to lose 500 to 1,000 calories per sweat-soaked,
hour-long session. But my stronger motivator
was a desire to remedy my somewhat
Frankensteinian corporeal stolidity. There are
parts of my body that have not moved since 1965.
I started, as many do, on the Zumba.com website. I learned there how, one day in the mid1990s, the Colombian fitness instructor Alberto
Perez, called Beto, forgot to take his aerobics music to a class he was teaching.
Using instead some salsa and merengue
tapes he had in his backpack, Perez started
improvising what would
eventually
become
Zumba.
Typing my ZIP code into the
website, I was told that 648 classes
were within eight kilometres. As the
Hollywood adage runs, you could die
from the encouragement.
I have now consorted with the Z for two
months. Most of my frantic gyrating and
quick quick-stepping has taken place at
New York University and at three
YMCAs in Manhattan. Though there
are specialty classes like Aqua
Zumba and Zumba Gold, the great
majority of Zumba classes are open
to people of all levels, and follow this
format: An instructor arrives wearing stretchy black clothing and a
facial expression

of militant excitement; she turns on some music (lots
of Ricky Martin and salsa, with a smattering of the
Latin-Caribbean hybrid known as reggaeton) and
wordlessly starts dancing. We 15 or 20 (primarily
female) students, all in workout clothes, erupt in a
Busby Berkeley-ish cavalcade of flailing choreo-mimicry.
Zumba’s corporate slogan is “Ditch the workout, join the
party.” At the Z-fest, no one is going to count out the song’s
beat for you, or demonstrate the choreography before the
song starts: You’re here to party, my friend, not to take a
graduate seminar at the Dance Notation Bureau. Indeed,
one of my Chinatown Y instructors told a group of us,
three of whom looked to be closing in on 70: “You need
to relax your face. You don’t go to a nightclub and look
all tense. Imagine there’s a great-looking guy or girl
at the club.”
This is the most physically exhausting
party you will ever attend. You may be
encouraged to, say, kick your legs as high as your
shoulder or to propel yourself across the floor. Your
body will ache. You’ll bend parts of your body previously unbent. You’ll get caught up in the excitement
and you’ll overdo, overextend. During the slow songs,
you’ll configure your face in a manner that is at once
tragic and urgent: You’ve been shot in the stomach
but are late for an appointment.
I operate at 50 or 60 percent mastery of the choreography, which is about average. Certain stuttering
Latin beats, and the fancy footwork they foster, elude
me. But my Achilles’ heel is my overly literal
approach: Any time an instructor telegraphs a coming
move midsong by, for instance, pointing to the right
or holding up three fingers to denote repetition, I am
sure to make these prescriptive actions the very centrepiece of my dancing. I’m the language student who
greets passersby with, “Lesson 1: Good morning!”
My favourite instructor so far is Yvonne Puckett.
When I read on the Zumba website that this 73-yearold showbiz veteran had danced with Fred Astaire
and with Marge and Gower Champion and had been
in two Elvis Presley movies, I hied myself to Chelsea
Piers to take her class.
In the soaring, bustling hangar that is the Chelsea
Piers Sports Centre, I pegged Puckett at first sight: a
warm pixieish Carol Burnett type in boysenberry
cargo pants and black-sequinned sneakers. I gushily
introduced myself, and asked, “Do you think Fred
Astaire would have embraced Zumba?” She said, “Oh,
definitely, as all dancers would.”
I told her, “I’m trying to get some of the Astaire
buoyancy and lightness into my Zumba work.” She
smiled at me indulgently, as if I had told her that
there were tiny people living inside my mailbox.
Unlike some of my other instructors, who use war
and combat metaphors to fire up a class, Puckett
proved to be all unicorns and rainbows; she trilled,
“Bee-you-tea-full” to us no less than five times during
the hour. I wafted home on a cloud of lavender
Tofutti.
I’ve hurt myself only once. Hoping to up my game,
I took a class one Sunday morning at Alvin Ailey,
where I had heard the crowd was younger, the choreography fiercer. At the registration desk, thinking of
the Ailey company’s spectacularly athletic production, “Revelations,” I asked the bubbly 20-something
registrar, “Is this going to be ‘Revelations’ Zumba?”
she said, “No.” I thanked her and then God.
Fifteen minutes later, my instructor, Ben Byrd, a
puckish redhead in his 20s wearing a navy do-rag,
was complimenting my speed walking in place during
one song, which led me to think, I’m in.
But some five minutes later, my cloddishness about
touching the floor with my hands while crouched in a
frog stance caused him to yell at me, “Get lower!” I
did, whereupon he smiled, a sign of encouragement.
The dancing ramped up in fiery intensity, which
was thrilling. I overexerted, I overdid. At hour’s end,
Ben led us through 15 additional minutes: jumping
jacks, push-ups, and situps, of which I completed
one-fifth. The next day my body was a lake of fire. I
swore off the Z for almost a week.
When, post-Ailey, I returned to the relative oasis of
the Chinatown Y, it was with some of the hauteur of
the Broadway veteran who has been asked to perform
Chekhov monologues at a Cracker Barrel. Suddenly I
was Juilliard. “You should stand at the back of the
class if you’re going to embellish the choreography,” I
told one hot dog who was doing something unnecessarily tendril-like and octopoid with her fingers; when
I started to slide in a puddle in the locker room, I
thought, “Where is this facility’s toe chalk?”
But subsequently, my ego has cooled and I have
returned to a modest attempt to improve my 50 to 60
percent mastery. Am I, in the end, more limber, more
nimble? I would say, to be determined. Part of me
thinks that an effort to be lighter on my feet may, given
that I’m gay, be an impossibility. I have noticed, however, that when I bend at the waist, I can touch my toes
now, an improvement of a centimetre or so. I’ve also
noticed that the Zumba workouts exhaust and debilitate me much less, and sometimes even energise me.
And then there’s this: Two or three mornings a week,
when I awake, my head is occupied by faint Latin
music, and I envision the footwork I should be doing.
If that’s not crazed, I don’t know what is.

A quick cookie recipe: hazelnut
olive oil and a dash of lemon
FAITH DURAND
GUARDIAN NEWS SERVICES
T’S always nice to have
an ultra-quick, ultraeasy cookie recipe on
hand to offer lastminute guests. Here’s
my latest favourite: A
shortbread that consists of
hazelnuts, olive oil and a
touch of lemon — and very little else. You can mix these
cookies up in less than 5 minutes, and they bake off in a
flash. They taste delicious,
too: sweet, nutty, savoury
from the oil, and salty on the
finish.
I really like baking with olive
oil; the flavour can add something special to baked goods
where you might not expect
it. I even made an olive oil
cake for my wedding! But I
had never tried a shortbread
with olive oil, and given that
butter is such an important
element of traditional shortbread, I was unsure whether
it would work.
Lucky for me, these cookies
turned out amazingly well.
They aren’t much to look at —
crumbly and brown — but
they have warm, nutty
flavour, and a deliciously
crisp, sturdy and toasty texture. I drizzled a little lemon
glaze over top, too, which
I
complemented that toasted
nut flavour beautifully. Two
of these, and a cup of tea, and
afternoon snack time is perfectly arranged.
Hazelnut and Olive Oil
Shortbread
Makes 18 to 24 small cookie
slices
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup
hazelnut meal
A shortbread that
consists of hazelnuts,
olive oil and a touch of
lemon — and very little else.
You can mix these cookies up
in less than 5 minutes,
and they bake off in a
flash
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar, plus
1/4 cup for glaze
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup extra-virgin light
olive oil
Method: Heat the oven to
375 F. Whisk together the
hazelnut meal, flour, brown
sugar, 1/4 cup powdered
sugar, salt and lemon zest.
Whisk in the vanilla and olive
oil. The dough will be sandy
and quite crumbly.
Press the dough firmly into
a 8- by 8-inch (or 9- by 9inch) dish. Bake for 20 minutes or until just lightly
browned around the edges.
Immediately cut the shortbread into diamonds or
squares. Let cool completely
before lifting them out of the
pan, however.
Meanwhile, whisk together
1 tablespoon of the lemon
juice and the remaining 1/4
cup powdered sugar and drizzle over the warm cookies.

A Brazilian beauty,
F
refined but untouched
SHIVANI VORA
NYT SYNDICATE
Located in the
southern state of Santa
Catarina, Praia do Rosa is known
for the more than 40 beaches that
have become a mainstay for the
international jet set
The Lagoa Salgada, a lagoon,
behind the hotel Qunita do
Bucanero in Praia Do Rosa.
ROM the balcony of
Quinta do Bucanero, a
pousada in the centre
of Praia do Rosa, the
appeal of the Brazilian
seaside town is obvious. Perched on top of a cliff, the
10-room hotel is surrounded by a
tropical jungle and forested mountains, with views of a long, sweeping stretch of golden sand and two
lagoons. Surfers dot the waves, and
orchids scent the air.
It’s this natural beauty that first
attracted Jacqueline Biazus, who
owns Bucanero along with her
husband, nearly four decades ago,
when she was an 18-year-old hippie – and to return 15 years later to
build the hotel. “Back then, there
was nothing here in Rosa,” she
said as she sat at a balcony table
overlooking the scenery. “It’s not
like it is today.”
Located in the southern state of
Santa Catarina, Praia do Rosa is
about one hour by car south of
Florianopolis, the popular state
capital, known for the more than 40
beaches that have become a mainstay for the international jet set.
Despite its lovely setting, Rosa
has been slower to attract travellers or a tourism infrastructure.
Even today, it has only two paved
streets; the rest are simply dirt
tracks. But a stream of new residents who have settled here in
recent years to open pousadas,
restaurants is turning this formerly undeveloped spot into a chic
beachside destination that may
begin to draw some of
Florianopolis’s regular visitors.
For now, it offers delightful natural beauty and a curious combination of sophistication and a barefoot, laid-back atmosphere.
During the antipodal summer,
night life usually begins at sunset,
when groups of board-carrying
surfers head back from the beach,
and couples start filling the tables
of the elegant boites, some of
which overlook the ocean and
lagoons.
Praia do Rosa literally means
“rosy beach.” The name comes not
from the colour of its sand but
from Dorvino Manoel da Rosa,
one of the first fishermen to occupy a house by the beach in the
1970s. Back then, there wasn’t
much activity here; the main road
leading to the town, BR 101, which
connects Rosa with Florianopolis,
didn’t yet exist, and access was difficult. Rosa was merely a simple
fishing village.
A few years later, groups of
Brazilians in their late teens and
early 20s discovered the area.
Many of them, including Biazus,
came from Porto Alegre, a large
coastal city about 5 1/2 hours
south. “The beaches down by us
were ugly so we headed up north
to find better ones and stumbled
onto Rosa,” said Biazus, who first
visited in 1978. Why Rosa? There
simply weren’t options closer to
home that had the same remoteness or such perfect waves for
surfing, she said.
Since there were no hotels, she
and her friends rented homes from
fishermen living by the beach and
spent their days taking advantage
of the waves. Evenings were spent
around bonfires, playing guitar and
listening to bossa nova. They were
unfazed by the lack of electricity,
which locals say didn’t arrive until
sometime in the early ‘80s.
Today, these same hippies are at
the root of the new wave of activity in Rosa. Well-educated entrepreneurs like Biazus, who trained
as a lawyer, have opened restaurants, hotels and boutiques.
Others have followed, and in
recent years more than three
dozen businesses have opened.
Judging by the number of buildings under construction, there is
more growth to come.
The population is still small –
there are about 20,000 people living in Ibiraquera, the area that
includes Rosa, compared with
400,000 in Florianopolis –
though things are beginning to
change.
Hippies singing around campfires on the beach have been mostly replaced by sun-tanning women
in bikinis and men in board shorts,
like Fernanda Pereira, 29, and her
husband, Ricardo, 30. The couple,
who live in the Brazilian city of
Curitiba, an inland city in the state
of Parana, started vacationing
here annually a few years ago and
said the increasing number of hot
spots, combined with the attractive setting, keeps them coming
back. “There is a cosmopolitan
vibe to Rosa that didn’t exist
before,” said Fernanda Pereira,
who works in advertising, “but it’s
just as unspoiled.”
Restaurants, drawing from the
plentiful seafood coming in from
the ocean, are also a draw. The
most notable is Lua Marinha,
opened in 2001, which serves
unfussy but refined seafood dishes
using only local ingredients. From
a wooden deck that overlooks a
lagoon, diners can see fishermen
setting out to catch offerings for
the next night’s dinner. A recent
meal started with an octopus
ceviche that got its heat from a
sprinkling of finely minced
jalapenos, followed by a main dish
for two of small and exceptionally
sweet shrimp, accompanied by a
thick sauce of mixed herbs.
For most of these proprietors,
setting up shop in Rosa is less
about getting rich and more about
soaking up the riches around
them. Menu-Maruque said he
used to run watering holes in Ibiza
and Buenos Aires – where he
earned more than he ever has at
Beleza Pura. “There are better
places to do business than Rosa so
you’re not necessarily going to
come here for a financial windfall,”
he said. “But no other place in the
world is as beautiful.”
Indeed, stunning vistas are
available almost anywhere in
town, and walks through the surrounding mountains lead to
beaches accessible only by foot
and completely empty. You might
even spot whales breaching, most
commonly
July
through
November. During those walks,
keep an eye out for colourful flora,
including red and yellow bromeliad plants, ruby coloured acucena
flowers, orchids and jackfruit trees
laden with football-size fruit.
As travellers have taken notice,
rooms at pousadas are getting
harder to come by during the peak
season and are also fuller during
the off-peak months. Biazus said
that Bucanero is almost completely booked three months in advance
starting in December and is now
also busy during the typically
slower spring. The Morada da
Praia do Rosa is a year-old pousada that’s fully booked on weekends
even during the off-season according to its owner, Demian Alaimo,
another Buenos Aires transplant.
But while those who come here
might think of Rosa as the next
must-visit destination on the
Brazilian coast, residents aren’t
interested in it being the next anything. “Of course we need travellers
to come support us, but we don’t
want everyone to discover Rosa and
for it to have a reputation as a party
town,” Biazus said. “Coming here is
really about enjoying the beauty
and peacefulness, and with too
many people, it’s hard to do that.”
WHERE TO STAY
Quinta do Bucanero- carved into
the side of a cliff, this luxurious 10room pousada has a small spa and
beautiful gardens. Rates from 450
reais, or $255 at 1.76 reais to the
dollar.
Morada da Praia do Rosa. Rates
from 240 reais.
WHERE TO EAT
Beleza Pura- A meal for two,
without drinks, is about 60 reais.
Lua Marinha- Dinner for two,
without drinks, is about 150 reais.
Sapore di Pasta- Dinner for two
is about 180 reais.
WHAT TO DO
Arrange tailor-made trips to
Rosa through the Latin-American
travel specialist Dehouche based in
Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires.

HOLLYWOOD
SOCCER star David Beckham’s kids are not looking forward to daddy’s
‘dare to bare act’ for an underwear commercial. The 36-year-old has featured in a 30-second commercial for new range of underwears of a high
street store H&M, but it has embarrassed his sons, reports contactmusic.com. “The boys are pretty embarrassed about it. They’re kids, so they
said ‘Oh my God daddy, not again. That’s really good, but everyone’s
going to see you in your pants (underwear)’,” Beckham told Britain’s
Daily Mirror. “I can’t walk around the house naked any more now
that we have a daughter. I’m still OK in underwear, but not
naked. With the boys it wasn’t a problem as they’re naked all
of the time. But now with a daughter, the naked days are
over,” he added.
SINGER Beyonce Knowles is being offered a $500 million
five-year deal to join the television music competition The X
Factor as a judge. According to showbiz.com, music mogul
Simon Cowell is keen to make his show as interesting as possible, so he is offering the whopping amount to the singer,
who recently gave birth to her first child with husband Jay-Z.
“He wants a big name female star on the panel. Mariah Carey
is good, but she’s not that hot today,” a source told mediatakeout.com. “He wants Beyonce because that would immediately give him the bounce needed to beat American Idol.”

Vanity Fair picks
Tinseltown’s leading ladies
The 11 stars picked
alongside Mara (The Girl
with the Dragon Tattoo)
and Chastain (The Help) for
the prestigious 3-page
cover include last year’s
best actress Oscar
nominee Jennifer Lawrence
and Albert Nobbs actress
Mia Wasikowska

ANITY Fair unveiled the
cover
of
its
annual
Hollywood issue on recently, featuring “fresh stars of
2012” who were chosen for
the impact they made through movies,
including Oscar nominees Rooney Mara
and Jessica Chastain.
“We’re looking for actresses who are
doing great work on the screen. And if
they’re young and beautiful, well that
doesn’t hurt either,” wrote Vanity Fair
features editor Jane Sarkin in an email to
Reuters. Most are in their 20s. The eldest
is Paula Patton at age 36.
The 11 stars picked alongside Mara
(The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and
Chastain (The Help) for the prestigious 3page cover include last year’s best actress
Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence and
Albert Nobbs actress Mia Wasikowska.
They are joined on the cover insert by
Martha Marcy May Marlene actress
Elizabeth Olsen, The Descendants
breakout star Shailene Woodley,
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
action lady Patton, Abduction star
Lily Collins, Pariah actress
Adepero Oduye, Chicago native
writer-actor Brit Marling and
Like Crazy actress Felicity
Jones.
“This group has solid acting
cred. Some have already
taken on
great
roles,
and I
think
that
V
Rooney Mara
all of these girls are on the go-to list for
every film currently being cast,”
explained Sarkin.
The art-deco style shoot, which sees the
ladies wearing pastel coloured dresses
with feathers and furs inspired by the
Jazz age of the 1920s and ‘30s, was conducted by famed photographer Mario
Testino.
The annual cover of the March issue,
which has featured stars such as Anne
Hathaway, James Franco, Carey Mulligan
and Amy Adams in recent years, was
described by Sarkin as a “casting
couch” that helped raise actor’s profiles.
The issue has often been criticised in
the past for its lack of racial diversity
among the stars and despite featuring
two African American women on this
year’s cover, the magazine drew critical
fire again.
Dodai Stewart, editor of feminist website Jezebel, noted that the two black
actresses, Patton and Oduye, in the 3page cover were excluded from the left
“power panel” and put on the insert, saying “it’s pretty obvious that Hollywood
has a serious problem with diversity.”
Film website Cinemablend.com also
lamented the exclusion of this year’s
Oscar nominees Viola Davis and
Octavia Spencer, stars of The Help,
and questioned the inclusion of
Collins.
“We’re very pleased with our cover
and the talented women who adorn all
three panels,” Sarkin said in response
to the critics.
The March issue of Vanity Fair will
be available on newsstands from
February 2.
Elvis... Through his Daughter’s
Eyes exhibit opens
REUTERS
LVIS Presley’s
daughter, Lisa
Marie Presley,
gave visitors to
Graceland an
inside look at her life with the
King of Rock ‘n’ Roll at his
Memphis estate recently as she celebrated her 44th birthday with the opening of a new exhibit.
The exhibit is called “Elvis... Through His
Daughter’s Eyes,” and displays artifacts
including Lisa Marie’s baby footprints, tricycle, a record player and her crib, said
Kevin Kern, director of public relations for
Elvis Presley Enterprises.
“This exhibit is something she has been
very excited about,” Kern said, adding that
it also includes family photos and home
movies featuring Lisa Marie’s childhood
and her relationship with her father before
E
Lisa Marie Presley
he died in 1977.
On an appearance on ABC’s Good
Morning America on Wednesday, Lisa
Marie Presley showed off a scarf on which
Elvis had written the words “I love my Lisa,
Daddy” from 1972.
She told the show that she remembered
her father singing Can’t Help Falling in
Love to her. She said the new exhibit
includes some of her dad’s “most amazing
clothes ever” and a small chest containing
personal items he took with him on tour,
including a photo of his father and his driver’s license.
Twenty-five people were chosen from
more than 2,000 entries for the first day of
the exhibit, and each was allowed to bring
a guest.
Among the visitors was Tom Termeer,
39, who with his wife Kristen, 35, made the
15-hour drive from Ontario, Canada.
Termeer had been scheduled for a meeting with his doctor on the day in prepara-
tion for brain surgery to help relieve pain
from cluster headaches. But once he discovered that he had won the lottery to meet
Lisa Marie Presley, “I had to blow that
appointment off to come here,” he said.
“One of the biggest reasons I did that is
my surgery at the end of the month.
Everybody said ‘Be Positive,’ and I am, but
there is a slight chance it may not work and
a slight chance I may die,” Termeer said.
“This is filling the bucket list.”
He said that when Lisa Marie Presley
learned how far he had travelled and what
he is facing she spent extra time with him
and his wife.
“It was overwhelming. It was hard to
control my composure,” Termeer said,
adding, “I couldn’t help but bawl my eyes

Emraan a fabulous co-star, says Bipasha
It’s my birth right to speak Hindi: Sunny
BIPASHA Basu has teamed up with Emraan Hashmi for Raaz 3 and
describes her co-star as fabulous and accommodating. “Emraan is a
fab actor and accommodating co-star! Every action has an effective
reaction! Very happy with our work,” the 33-year-old tweeted. Raaz
3, which also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, is being produced by
Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt’s banner Vishesh Films. Her last film with
the banner was Jism (2003). Bipasha’s next release is Jodi Breakers,
in which she will be seen with R Madhavan - and she finds it enjoyable working on two different genres. “From a happy romantic fun
space of Jodi Breakers to a dark unknown supernatural space of Raaz
3! Enjoying every bit of both,” she wrote.
INDO-CANADIAN adult-movie star Sunny Leone, who will be
seen playing the lead role in Jism 2, is working on her Hindi diction and says that it’s her birth right to speak the language. “The
people around me probably think I’m crazy. Repeating what I
hear out loud in Hindi... Haha whatever! Anything for Jism 2
(sic),” the 30-year-old posted on micro-bloggings site Twitter. “I
believe this is my birth right to speak Hindi and Punjabi... it’s
who I am. Indian and proud and Jism 2 is giving me my big
break in movies, so thankful,” she further posted. Sunny became
a known name in India after her stint on controversial reality
show Bigg Boss 5.

Ranbir Kapoor’s loss,
Prateik Babbar’s gain
TRUBUNE NEWS NETWORK
VERYONE is talking about the sizzling
chemistry between Liverpool lass Amy
Jackson and Mumbai ka chokra Prateik
Babbar.
Unlike other fake ‘encounter specialists’ which
emerge everytime a new pair is introduced in a
love story, the Amy-Prateik chemistry in Ek
Deewana Tha is for real.
The entire unit vouches for the twosome being
absolutely smitten with one another. Says director Gautham Menon, “Our film is getting a positive vibe. People are saying the lead pair is looking good together.”
And to think it could have been Ranbir Kapoor
romancing Amy in Ek Deewana Tha. Gautham
Menon is one of Tamil cinema’s leading lights of
filmmaking. But in Mumbai Ranbir Kapoor
doesn’t know him, nor wish to work with him.
Apparently when Menon wished to approach
Ranbir for his new Hindi film, the star refused to
meet him.
Embarrassed to talk about his failure to connect with the Kapoor star the hurt and angry
Menon, who has worked with the likes of Kamal
Haasan, Madhavan and Suriya in the South,
finally admits, “Ranbir was my first choice for Ek
Deewana Tha. I tried to get in touch with him.
Forget about meeting Ranbir. I couldn’t even
meet his secretary. Yes, even the secretary
refused to meet me.”
This is when Gautham turned away, his pride
and dignity seriously challenged, to sign Prateik
for the film.
Says Menon, “One reason why I’ve taken 11
years to make my second Hindi film is because I
am comfortable working with the stars in the
South, as they are with me. In Mumbai, I feel like
a stranger. In fact I’ve had a number of offers to
direct Hindi films. Vipul Shah wanted me to do
“Our film is getting a
positive vibe. People
are saying the lead
pair is looking good
together. And
to think, it could have
been Ranbir Kapoor
romancing Amy in
Ek Deewana Tha”

the Hindi adaptation of my film Kaakha
Kaakha. I declined the offer.”
Now after his bitter experience with Ranbir,
Menon has become even more wary of Mumbai
and its stars.
Increasingly a number of directors are complaining about how inaccessible Ranbir has
become.
Sudhir Mishra wanted to cast Ranbir in
Driver. He’s been waiting for months for a meeting. Raj Kumar Santoshi wanted to do a sequel
to Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with Ranbir.
Katrina Kaif was willing. Ranbir was not.

Riteish and Genelia first met while shooting for their
