Ranbir Kapoor Filmfare Award for Best Actor and His Career Style

Ranbir Kapoor Received His First Filmfare Award For Best Actor For His Performance-

 

Rockstar and other works-

Ranbir adds wonderful layers to this seemingly simple fellow, and once again proves why he is his only competition." The film opened to critical acclaim, and was a major commercial success, earning INR175 crore (US$31.85 million) worldwide. The film was screened at the Busan International Film Festival, Marrakech International Film Festival and was chosen as India’s official entry to the Oscars for the 85th Academy Awards.

Ranbir Kapoor (born 28 September 1982) is an Indian actor who appears in Bollywood films. Born to actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, Kapoor began his career by assisting director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and later made his acting debut with the director's 2007 film Saawariya for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. Kapoor later earned critical praise for his performances in Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, and Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year in 2009. These performances earned him the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor, and he was later recognized for his role as an aspiring politician in the political thriller Raajneeti (2010).



 In 2012, Kapoor received his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his performance in the Imtiaz Ali-directed drama Rockstar, and his second award for his portrayal of a deaf-mute man in Barfi! (2012), which emerged as his biggest commercial success till date. 

 Having done so, Kapoor has established himself as one of the leading contemporary actors of Hindi cinema.

 In 2012, Kapoor appeared in Anurag Basu's romantic comedy Barfi! alongside Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz. Cast as Murphy "Barfi" Johnson, a deaf-mute boy, Kapoor received rave reviews for his performance, earning him his second Filmfare Award for Best Actor. 

Taran Adarsh notes that "Ranbir's facial expressions and body language is the hallmark of the enterprise. The critical complement I can award to Ranbir's act is that it is truly convincing, heartrending and intelligent, all rolled into one dazzling result."

As of September 2012 Kapoor is scheduled to appear in Ayan Mukerji's Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani alongside Deepika Padukone, Abhinav Kashyap's Besharam alongside Pallavi Sharda, and Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet opposite Anushka Sharma.

While some of our actresses are busy making friends this season (read Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra), looks like the boys are better off sulking! We heard that at a recent awards event, Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor made it clear that they weren’t exactly the best of friends.

Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani and Anurag Basu's Barfi struck big at the Filmfare Awards this year. Barfi was adjudged best film and got Ranbir Kapoor the 'best actor (male)' award while Vidya Balan bagged the 'best actor (female)' title for Kahaani that also won Sujoy Ghosh the best director prize.



The Filmfare Awards held on Sunday were a star-studded experience. 

 Amongst those attending the awards ceremony were Madhuri Dixit, Ranbir Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Sidharth Roy Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra, Boney Kapoor, Sridevi, Sonali Bendre, Goldie Behl, Deepika Padukone and Rekha.

Dashing and refined actor Ranbir Kapoor has once again repeated the history after winning the Best Actor award for his acclaimed film Barfi! 

at the 58th Idea Filmfare Awards, held in Mumbai.

The actor had previously won the 57th Idea Filmfare Awards in the same category for Rockstar movie. 
 
Not only Ranbir but actress Vidya Balan has also repeated her success just like the previous Filmfare Awards after winning the Best Actress category for Kahaani this time.

Keanu Reeves Spoke of His English Ancestry



Keanu Reeves Will Star In The Live-Action Film Adaptation of The Anime Series-


Keanu Reeves

Born Keanu Charles Reeves
September 2, 1964 (age 47)
Beirut, Lebanon
Nationality Canadian
Occupation Actor
Years active 1985–present

Keanu Charles Reeves ( born September 2, 1964) is a Canadian actor. Reeves is perhaps best known for his roles in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Speed, Point Break and the science fiction-action trilogy The Matrix

He has worked under major directors, such as Stephen Frears (in the 1988 period drama Dangerous Liaisons); Gus Van Sant (in the 1991 independent film My Own Private Idaho, also written by Van Sant); and Bernardo Bertolucci (in the 1993 film Little Buddha). Referencing his 1991 film releases, The New York Times critic Janet Maslin praised Reeves' versatility, saying that he "displays considerable discipline and range. He moves easily between the buttoned-down demeanour that suits a police procedural story and the loose-jointed manner of his comic roles."

In addition to his film roles, Reeves has also performed in theatre. His performance in the title role in a Manitoba Theatre Centre production of Hamlet was praised by Roger Lewis, the Sunday Times, who declared Reeves "...one of the top three Hamlets I have seen, for a simple reason: he is Hamlet." On January 31, 2005, Reeves received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A 2006 ET online survey placed him in the "Top Ten of America's Favorite Stars".



In January 2011, on the BBC program 'The One Show', he spoke of his English ancestry, via his mother, mentioning his happy watching of 'The Two Ronnies' comedy show amongst others when younger, and how his mother imparted English manners that he still has today.

In January 2009, it was revealed that Reeves will star in the live-action film adaptation of the anime series Cowboy Bebop, slated for release in 2011. 

Other upcoming projects include the samurai film 47 Ronin, Chef – story by Reeves and written by Steven Knight, and a modern retelling of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, scripted by Justin Haythe and titled Jekyll. Nicolas Winding Refn is in negotiations to direct and was later replaced by Dennis Iliadis and produced by Universal Pictures.

In April 2011 Reeves confirmed that a third installment of the Bill & Ted movie series was underway.

In 2010, photos of a sad-looking Keanu Reeves eating a sandwich while alone led to the spread of the "Keanu is Sad/Sad Keanu" Internet meme and the declaration of June 15 as "Unofficial Cheer-up Keanu Day" by a Facebook fanpage.



It is one of the most iconic scenes in modern cinema history. 

But Keanu Reeves and Chloe Moretz have stunningly recreated the hotel room sequence from the Oscar nominated 1976 film Taxi Driver.

The shot is part of a Harper's Bazaar pictorial in honour of the film's director Martin Scorsese to celebrate his latest release and take a look back over some of his most famous movie moments. 

Music-

Reeves played bass guitar in the grunge band Dogstar during the 1990s. In the 2000s, he performed with the band Becky.


 

Filmography-

Year                 Film                                         Role                                                                   Notes

2009                 The Private Lives of Pippa Lee      Chris Nadeau
2010 Passengers Jim Preston
Cartagena Character Unknown
Henry's Crime Henry
2011 Jekyll Dr. Jekyll
Cowboy Bebop Spike Spiegel
Hanuman Ram
2012 47 Ronin Kai                                              Filming

The actor was left reeling when his girlfriend Jennifer Syme died in a car accident in 2001.

She had given birth to their daughter Ava Archer who was stillborn.
Reeves has recently wrapped filming in Budapest on his upcoming movie 47 Ronin, which is a remake of the 1994 Japanese film.



The epic period tale is now continuing production in England.
The film is a story of 'honor, revenge and impossible love' which is famous in Japan and is based on a true story.

Keanu Reeves has never married and seems to lead a sad and lonely existence if internet postings are to be believed.

But it appears the 46-year-old actor may finally have something to be happy about after he was pictured with a mystery woman in London yesterday.

The actor managed to raise a smile as he left Nobu Berkley restaurant with the pretty brunette.

With is long hair and unshaven face, the Matrix star was his usual camera shy self but seemed to be happy being in the lady's company.

He carried a cycle helmet in his hand and was dressed down in jeans, T-shirt and green jacket.

His date looked slender in a grey top, short denim skirt and had a large scarf wrapped around her neck.
