Paresh Rawal can turn any character into gold. The iconic actor will be soon getting into the shoes of another legend – Sunil Dutt, in one of the 2018’s most awaited films, Sanju. The Sanjay Dutt biopic, starring Ranbir Kapoor in the titular role has been directed by Rajkumar Hirani and Rawal plays Dutt senior. While fans are raving about the perfect casting of the film, Rawal has a different story to tell about what unfolded when he was offered the much-anticipated role.
In an exclusive chat with indianexpres.com, Paresh Rawal tells us how it was no less than a divine intervention that he was approached to play Sunil Dutt’s part.
“On May 25, 2005, I was shooting for a movie and I called up home to say that I will be late today. And during the shooting, we got to know that Dutt Sahab (Sunil Dutt) has passed away, so I called up my wife and said I will come a bit late because Dutt Sahab has passed away and I am going to his house. She then told me that there is a letter for you from him (Sunil Dutt). I asked her what the letter was and she said it is for wishing you a happy birthday. I told her that my birthday is on May 30, which is five days away but she said the letter is for you and she even read it to me. I was so surprised. Why would Dutt Sahab send me a birthday letter five days before my birthday? And we have never exchanged any holiday greetings in the past – be it Diwali or Christmas – so why would he write to me?,” Rawal shared.
An equally surprised Paresh Rawal further added, “On January 3, 2017, I asked my wife to take out a couple of my documents as I was going to meet Rajkumar Hirani. I told her I will pick up those documents when I come back. When I was sitting with Rajkumar Hirani, my wife called me and said that along with the documents, that letter from Sunil Dutt Sahab was also there. She asked me what I wanted to do about it? And I was stunned as I was narrated the part of Sunil Dutt for the movie.”
Suggesting that it was nothing less than a ‘divine intervention’ of sorts, Rawal said, “See, usually you don’t keep birthday cards for 12 years, you discard them. You forget about them, but that letter was there with all my important documents and it was again found on the same day Rajkumar Hirani narrated the Sanju role to me. It is like a divine intervention. I showed that letter to Rajkumar Hirani later.”
Paresh Rawal and Sunil Dutt starred in Rajkumar Kohli’s Virodhi, though they did not share screen space.
Sanju also stars Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala and Boman Irani. It is set to release on June 29.
You might think he is irrelevant right now or that he didn’t work on the silver screen, but what you probably didn’t know, is that Uday Chopra was born with a silver spoon. The rich guy might not have had a successful spell in movies, but he works hard for his family-owned company. He set up a Yash Raj Films (YRF) unit in Hollywood and has been in the U.S. for a few years now.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have already set a benchmark of what a royal couple should look like. Super successful in their respective careers, speaking their mind on important issues and remaining private about matters they don’t want in the media glare, if one can learn how to mind one’s business from anyone, then this couple tops our list.
Happy B’day my love. The most positive and honest person I know. Love you ?ï¸?

The success of your ecommerce business will largely depend on how well your site looks and how smoothly it functions. If you are a serious business, then you must have professionals design and develop your ecommerce website.
The way we will approach your project is to first assign you one of our creative designers who will work with you to put together a design that reflects your vision for your website, looks elegant and professional and most importantly meets the expectations of the type of customers you are trying to attract. During this process we may go back and forth several times to get the design just right. Good design should establish brand identity, credibility, be in line with current trends and technologies, drive your call to action and give you a competitive advantage.
Once design is finalized, we will hand it over to our developer to integrate the design into the backend and incorporate all the necessary functionalities. We do it this way because you get better results by putting specialists on the job rather than letting one person do everything.
Do you currently have a team of Ecommerce Developers and Designers? If not, give us a call and let’s talk. We are based in Perth, Western Australia but support ecommerce websites worldwide.

Ecommerce Success – Happy Customers
When looking for Ecommerce Developers, check their website for a portfolio of their work or case studies of their previous work. This will give you a glimpse into their skills, talents and experience. Some may have worked on similar projects, others may not but maybe they are quite capable of doing so?
The next step is to decide which shopping cart you want to use. Choose carefully as this cart will be essential for the success of your online store. Options include Magento, Shopify, Bigcommerce, OpenCart, OSCommerce, X-Cart or a custom ecommerce solution. Make sure your developer is familiar with the shopping cart system you want.

Ecommerce Platforms
It is actually better if you first hire a company, let them understand your business, your industry and competition and then together decide which ecommerce platform is best for you. That way everyone is on the same page. Just because your friend raves about Shopify or Magento does not mean you should have the same cart. They all have their strengths and let your developer and you figure out what will be best for your shop.
Work closely with your ecommerce developers during the design and the function phases and test. It is better that you discover the bugs rather than your customers.
There are three factors to consider before you hire a design/development team for your ecommerce website: quality, price and time. If you want quality work to be done in a timely manner, you need to be prepared to pay well. And consider keeping your developer on your payroll for some time to do periodic updates and make any necessary changes.
When it comes to developing an ecommerce website, you need a team that is focused and experienced in providing companies with professional web design and developing ecommerce solutions.
At Interloper Inc., our roots are in E-Commerce and it continues to be the strongest part of our business. We ensure that your site is SEO ready, analytics and site map plugins are installed, payment and shipping integration is in place, and it has all the components necessary to conduct ecommerce in a safe and efficient manner.
Later on, when your site is up and running, as a separate project, you may want us to build you customer follow up functionalities that build customer loyalty and generates additional revenues.
For future maintenance also, you don’t have to advertise and spend precious time going over resumes. You just let us know and we provide the right resource. Your job gets done economically, without hassle and on time while you focus on doing what you do best – running your business.
Later on, if you like, we can also create and upload product data feeds to Uploadmyproducts.com, Google Shopping, Rakuten, eBay, Amazon, Houzz.com, Shopzilla, Price Grabber, Shopping.com, Walmart.com and Sears.com. The more customer exposure you give your products, the better the chances of making a sale.

While most celebrities try to stay away from controversies, Salman Khan, on the other hand, seems to love being in the news for all the wrong reasons. Instead of trying to avoid saying and doing things that can potentially land him in trouble, the Bollywood star is doing just the opposite.
So, when you have the nerve to make callous comments, you also need to be ready for the following backlash as well. After all, what goes around comes around!
At times, he compares his exhaustion from a physically demanding shoot to that of a “raped woman” and then some other day you discover that he disregards a child’s consent. What person in their right mind fails to understand the meaning of rape or feels that it is okay to hug a child without his consent?
Kids usually love me, this boy was an exception.. at least I got my hug in the end 😜� #dancedeewane @beingsalmankhan @madhuridixitnene @anilskapoor
Yes, to all the Bhaijaan fans out there, I know the poor actor is always dragged into controversies. He is never at fault. He is as innocent as a kid. He is a 52-year-old man-child.

Maintaining his streak of imprudent actions, this time the multi-talented (when it comes to making a fool of himself) Salman Khan fat-shamed a 42-year-old woman on a dance reality show.
The actor publicly made fun of Meenal Dhapre’s weight not just once but multiple times. However, the contestant was so stunned to see her idol Madhuri Dixit Nene before her, that she was oblivious to Salman’s comments. But his harsh remarks did catch everyone else’s attention.

It all happened when Meenal requested a hug from Madhuri before her performance. Madhuri obliged and the excited contestant came running when Salman said: “araam araam se, kahin stage na toot jaaye” (Careful, the stage might just break). Besides the appalling comment, it was also shocking to see how all the other celebrities sitting there let this slide as a joke.
© Colors
And that wasn’t it. Looking at Madhuri and Meenal talking, Salman asked if they knew each other. To which the contestant replied that she comes from a ‘chhota shahar’ (small town). And since he is the representative of ‘Being Human’, he remarked how she could fit in there? Ironic isn’t it?

Salman honestly, what the hell is wrong with you and your so-called comic sense?
After hugging Madhuri, Meenal promptly lost her balance and fell. We all probably would as well, if we ever saw our idols right before us.
Later on, Meenal gave an entertaining performance on Mera Piya Ghar Aaya from ‘Yaarana’. All the while, Salman stood close to the stage and when she concluded her performance he said, “main wahan isliye khada tha ki aap kahin phir se tappa khaaker gir gaye toh?”
He straight away compared her to a ball. How ignorant were the celebrities and the audience, who did not feel the need to call out Salman for his insolent and disrespectful behaviour?
If not for anything, just respect the fact that she can dance and you suck at that job literally. You might have found this funny, but your sense of humour is as low as your IQ.
Dear Bhaijaan, I know you can get away with anything, but how about showing some responsibility, as millions of people look up to you? Or let me guess, you don’t really know what fat-shaming actually means. If that is the case, then don’t worry, there are ways to enlighten people like you.
As per the Cambridge dictionary, here is the definition of fat-shaming (along with an example):
In case you feel Cambridge is not that reliable a source, then here’s another one from Oxford:
But we are all ears to understand the meaning of ‘fat-shaming’ from Salman Khan’s dictionary (because that seems to be the best reference book on how to get away with a crime).
Of course, Twitter lost it as well and trolled the ‘Race 3’ actor.
Sooooo. On this dance reality show, a fat woman said, she’s from a very “small” place and Salman Khan made a joke about “how did she fit there?” and that’s only of the reasons why I hate him so much.

U do not have any right to fat shame a lady!

She is a good dancer (better than u certainly) and u shud have stuck to ur reason of being called on the show- promoting ur film!

P.S. Don’t ask your dad to do that on your behalf because it’s time the man-child grows up.
There are very few actors in Bollywood, who put their heart and soul into playing a character and nailing the role with near perfection. Paresh Rawal is one such name who can turn any role into an exceptional one with his Midas touch. While his portrayal of the eccentric yet lovable Baburao Ganpatrao Apte from ‘Hera Pheri’ will always be our favourite, it is his performance in an upcoming film that is creating quite a buzz at the moment.
Rawal will be seen playing the legendary Sunil Dutt in ‘Sanju’. Being called as one of the most awaited films of the year, Sanjay Dutt’s biopic is a story that millions are waiting to watch with bated breath.
The trailer has already left everyone impressed with Ranbir Kapoor’s brilliant portrayal of Sanjay Dutt. Keeping the vibe alive, Rawal recently, shared a story related to the movie that has left an imprint on our minds.
Well, maybe destiny did have plans for Rawal or maybe Dutt Sahab always wanted him to play his character, if such a moment ever came. Talking about what happened when he was offered the role, he said it was no less than a divine intervention. Playing Dutt Sahab’s role is no walk in the park. The Bollywood great has a left a legacy behind and Rawal has huge shoes to fill.

Talking about the important moment, Rawal told a leading daily, “On May 25, 2005, I was shooting for a movie and I called up home to say that I will be late. And during the shooting, we got to know that Dutt Sahab (Sunil Dutt) has passed away, so I called up my wife and said I will come a bit late because Dutt Sahab has passed away and I am going to his house. She then told me that there is a letter for you from him (Sunil Dutt). I asked her what the letter was and she said it is for wishing you a happy birthday. I told her that my birthday is on May 30, which is five days away but she said the letter is for you and she even read it to me. I was so surprised. Why would Dutt Sahab send me a birthday letter five days before my birthday? And we have never exchanged any holiday greetings in the past – be it Diwali or Christmas – so why would he write to me?”

Stunned? So are we! But Sahab always had a way of amazing people. Rawal, who was also surprised at the time, further shared, “On January 3, 2017, I asked my wife to take out a couple of my documents as I was going to meet Rajkumar Hirani. I told her I will pick up those documents when I come back. When I was sitting with Rajkumar Hirani, my wife called me and said that along with the documents, that letter from Sunil Dutt Sahab was also there. She asked me what I wanted to do about it. And I was stunned as I was narrated the part of Sunil Dutt for the movie.”

Some things and some moments are precious to us and we often preserve them in whatever way possible. Rawal did something similar. “See, usually you don’t keep birthday cards for 12 years, you discard them. You forget about them, but that letter was there with all my important documents and it was again found on the same day Rajkumar Hirani narrated the ‘Sanju’ role to me. It is like a divine intervention. I showed that letter to Rajkumar Hirani later,” he added.
(c) Fox Star India
Not many know this but Rawal and Sunil Dutt have worked together in Rajkumar Kohli’s ‘Virodhi’, even though they never shared any screen time together.
After hearing this story, it feels like Rawal was meant to play this role and honestly, after getting a glimpse of his performance in the trailer, we couldn’t agree more.

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani the movie also stars Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala and Boman Irani and will hit the screens on June 29, 2018.
