Chennai: Vikram feels that the actor within him would've still been dormant but for director Bala. "I didn't know that the real actor within me was sleeping until I worked with Bala. After having worked with him in 'Sethu' (1999), I realised my potential as an actor. Had it not been for him, I'm sure I wouldn't have ever found the actor in me", Vikram told reporters here Sunday. He...

Cast: Aftab Shivdasani, Tia Bajpai, Vidya Malvade, Sharad Kelkar Director: Bhushan Patel Evil returned and left a trail of some genuinely scary moments and some laughable sequences. A mixture of good vfx, picturesque landscapes, melodious songs, lethargic acting and uselessly over-powering background score couldn’t rise up to the expectations that producer Vikram Bhatt and his team had promised after ‘1920’. Though ‘1920: Evil Returns’ is not a sequel to ‘1920’...

Trust Trivikram Srinivas to go for the right heroine. Be it in choosing Shriya Saran for 'Nuvve Nuvve', Trisha for 'Athadu', Illeana for 'Jalsa', Anushka for 'Khaleja' and Illeana for 'Julayi', he has never missed the target. Illeana's characterization (as a dull and unfashionable lady in 'Julayi') might not have worked well, but Tri's heroines are usually very entertaining. The good news is that his next heroine is Samantha, a...

Mumbai: Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, who is back with another horror flick '1920: Evil Returns', says it has nothing to do with his 2008 movie '1920'. "We have seen that when we make sequels, the story should be different, actors should be different. Nothing should be similar except the name. Since we make such films here, we have continued with that trend. '1920: Evil Returns' has nothing to do with the...

New York: The incredible shrinking bank may have to shrink more. In the hours after surprise announcement that Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit was stepping down, speculation was rife, and facts scant, about what lay ahead for the nation's third-largest bank. Pandit left after a series of embarrassments and missteps that apparently unsettled Citigroup's board, including a "no" vote from shareholders on his pay package and a ruling from the Federal...

New York: Citigroup Inc Chief Executive Vikram Pandit resigned abruptly on Tuesday, effective immediately, a shock change at the top of the No 3 US bank just one day after a surprisingly strong quarterly earnings report. Analysts and investors quickly raised red flags about the timing, saying it did not appear to be a natural transition and rather suggested some sort of dispute at the bank. But Citigroup shares rose...
