SCOOP!! & NEWS Bollywood should evolve: Lord Puttnam11th Mar 2005 17.30 IST By AKC Bureau with inputs from IANS Renowned British film producer Lord David Puttnam has stressed the need for the mainstream Bollywood to evolve and refine. Lord Puttnam is in Mumbai and he visited Mukta Arts' upcoming state-of-the-art film and television institute, Whistling Woods International, at Film City.
The 64-year-old has a deep love and concern for Indian culture. He has even adopted an Indian girl. In an interview to IANS, Puttnam said: “There are two kinds of Bollywood - the Bollywood that people like me know is represented by films like Monsoon Wedding and Lagaan and the other Bollywood is the mainstream Bollywood that's very popular in India.” “Unless India refines and develops mainstream Bollywood, this other Bollywood known in the West will remain a passing fad,” Lord Puttnam warned. “Take essential features of Bollywood like the use of music, high energy levels and attitude and hybridize them with global cinema. The real challenge is to translate the style, the flair and energy of Bollywood into global idiom” he added. Lord Puttnam has produced films like ‘The Mission’, the Oscar winning ‘Chariots of Fire’ and ‘The Killing Fields’ among others. He is the chancellor of the University of Sunderland in Britain. He is also one of the patrons of Whistling Woods International. | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ Aishwarya Rai and her fond Cannes memories ~ The Bachchans dazzle at Cannes Film Fest ~ Shah Rukh Khan smiles at Aamir's jibe ~ Sonal Chauhan said 'no' to wearing bikini ~ Emraan Hashmi bowled over by Pakistani girls ~ Irrfan Khan learns the art of cutting hair ~ Sonam Kapoor denies being offered role opposite Shah Rukh Khan ~ When consciousness of Aishwarya and Abhishek were used by Varma ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ Madhuri Dixit turns 41 ~ Amitabh Bachchan goes down memory lane ( more in happenings ) AKC HOT INDEX ECARDS > New Year, Diwali, Birthday, Valentines, Love, Christmas MOVIES Bhoothnath, Jimmy, Anamika, Mr. White Mr. Black, Tashan, U Me Aur Hum, Race, Jodhaa Akbar, Taare Zameen Par, Krazzy 4, Sarkar Raj , Jannat , Woodstock Villa , Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic MUSIC Tashan , U Me Aur Hum celebs» the celeb A-Z who's in » Katrina Kaif | Rani Mukherjee | Aishwarya Rai | Gayatri Joshi | Mallika Sherawat | Bipasha Basu | Preity Zinta | Priyanka Chopra | Kajol | Neha Dhupia | Kareena Kapoor | Shahrukh Khan | Salman Khan | Aamir Khan | Hrithik Roshan | Akshay Kumar | Vivek Oberoi | Sameera Reddy | Juhi Chawla | Sneha Ullal | John Abraham | Karisma Kapoor | Zayed Khan | Saif Ali Khan | Madhuri Dixit | Zeenat Aman | Payal Rohatgi | Abhishek Bachchan | Lisa Ray | Dimple Kapadia | Ayesha Takia | Dia Mirza | Sushmita Sen | Amisha Patel | Esha Deol | Amitabh Bachchan | Meghna Naidu | Amrita Rao | Arjun Rampal | Mahima Chaudhary | Amrita Arora | Vidya Balan | Raima Sen | Riya Sen | Rekha | Rakhi Sawant | Rimi Sen | Bhumika Chawla | Nigar Khan | Tanushree Dutta | Yana Gupta | Deepal Shaw | Shilpa Shetty | Celina Jaitley | Deepika Padukone | Ranbir Kapoor | Sonam Kapoor | more... |
