Features

By Staff
"Samsara",
meaning
world,
is
a
film
based
on
beggars
who
stay
in
Laddakk
and
follow
Buddism.
The
film
has
been
honored
with
thirty
International
awards.
Pan
Nalin,
the
director
of
the
film,
though
has
mixed
reactions;
he
is
happy
because
the
whole
world
has
acknowledged
the
film,
but
sad
because
the
universally
praised
film
has
very
little
recognition
in
India.
After
two
years
of
its
release,
Pan
is
now
trying
to
reach
the
Indian
audience
with
the
DVD
version
of
"Samsara".
The
gorgeous
Sushmita
Sen
was
present
during
the
DVD
release
of
"Samsara".
Here
is
the
lady
talking
about
the
film,
and
also
on
her
forthcoming
projects.
Sushmita
Sen
feels
honored
to
be
a
part
of
the
DVD
launch
function
of
the
film
'Samsara'.
An
ardent
fan
of
the
film,
the
actress
says,
"I
watched
it
as
soon
as
it
was
released
two
years
back.
I
liked
the
film
very
much,
and
my
affection
for
the
film
is
more
because
the
maker
of
the
film
is
an
Indian."
Talking
about
the
standard
of
Indian
films
when
compared
to
International
ones,
Sush
opines,
"I
am
really
proud
that
the
film
(Samsara)
was
made
in
India.
We
must
know
that
every
year
Indian
filmmakers
create
many
films
that
can
easily
be
compared
with
International
movies
from
the
point
of
view
of
either
quality
or
budget.
Despite
all
that,
our
films
are
recognized
only
as
musical
films
in
the
World
cine
market.
It's
a
blessing
for
us
to
have
"Samsara" made
in
India
and
we
should
be
proud
of
Pan
as
the
Indian
director
is
priceless."
After
Ram
Gopal
Verma
Ki
Aag,
the
talented
lanky
actress
is
not
seen
much
in
films
now.
But
her
fans
and
viewers
are
surely
awaiting
the
release
of
her
forthcoming
films,
'Jhansi
Ki
Rani
Lakshmibai' and
'Dulha
Mil
Gaya'.
When
asked
about
her
film,
'Jhansi
Ki
Rani
Lakshmibai',
a
tight-lipped
Sush
has
this
diplomatic
answer
to
give,
"We
are
here
for
the
film
"Samsara"
and
I
would
like
to
talk
about
films
by
Pan
only.
But
believe
me,
when
we
will
meet
for
my
film,
I
will
talk
about
films
by
me
only".
Moving
on
to
her
next
awaited
release,
'Dulha
Mil
Gaya',
Sush
cracks
a
joke,
as
she
says,
"Even
I
am
waiting
for
my
groom
for
long.
Well,
I
am
also
waiting
for
"Dulha
Mil
Gaya" to
be
complete.
It's
one
of
those
films
which
I
enjoyed
working
in.
I
hope
Shahrukh
can
arrange
his
date
for
the
film
soon
so
that
we
can
complete
the
shooting."
Talking
about
Mudassar
Aziz,
the
debutante
director
of
"Dulha
Mil
Gaya",
Sushmita
says,
"As
"Samsara"
is
Pan's
first
film,
"Dulha
Mil
Gaya"
is
the
first
film
by
Mudassar
Azziz.
It's
very
interesting
for
me
that
I
worked
all
the
way
in
my
career
with
first-time
directors
only.
I
have
never
seen
such
a
confident
director
than
Mudassar.
He
knows
well
about
not
only
what
he
has
to
do,
but
also
what
he
requires
for
the
script."
Before
taking
leave
from
Sush,
we
were
forced
to
ponder
over
the
fact
that
Pan
has
approached
Aishwariya
Rai
Bachchan,
for
the
character
of
Yashodhara
for
his
forthcoming
film,
"Life
of
Buddha",
but
not
Sushmita
who
is
an
ardent
fan
of
the
film
maker.
What
made
him
choose
Ash
over
Sush?
Well,
we
went
to
Pan
to
get
the
answer
to
this,
but
Sushmita
who
was
standing
near
pan
replied
saying,
"As
Pan
didn't
offer
me
the
role
of
Yashodhara,
I
also
didn't
think
about
Pan
while
making
"Jhansi
Ki
Rani".
Well,
that
was
a
very
smart
answer
coming
from
a
very
smart
Sushmita
Sen!
