BOLLYWOOD: NO ACTORS NEEDED; ONLY BODY BUILDERS
BOLLYWOOD: NO ACTORS NEEDED; ONLY BODY BUILDERS
The Himbos are here... Move over bimbos, it's the men who are taking the ' shirt ' cut to instant super stardom these days.
A review by Meena Iyer of TOI
If you are an actor in Bollywood currently, then seize the moment. Bollywood is in as much of a mood to celebratge the himbo as it does the bimbo. It isn't Katrina Kaif's Sheila Ki Jawani midriff that's the only object of desire for the cinema-goer. A hot male body is just as desirable and saleable in the times that we live in, and this fact hasn't escaped the notice of directors. From Dostana to Student of the Year, the men in the films have as many clothing items to shed as the heroines, may be more!
"People are in the mood to celebrate John Abraham's six packs and tight butt just like Priyanka Chopra's curves" says film maker Tarun Mansukhani. No wonder then that an audition room for actors these days - as shown in Zoya Akhtar's 2009 film Luck by Chance - resembles a gym locker room, with beefed up muscles and toned stomachs more on display that facial expressions and emotions.
"We seem to be breeding a generation of stuntmen rather than actors. Soon, there will be little acting talent left and more testosterone babas floating around" - Randhir Kapoor
"I wanted the men to appear as hunks, who could be put on both heterosexual and homosexual pedestals for women and men to whistle at" - Tarun Mansukhani , on Dostana.
Everybody in Bollywood in this line : Ajay Devgun, Emraan Hashmi, Ranveer Singh, Salman Khan, John Abraham, Siddharth Malhotra are some names.
