Her 'what's that?' act did get her all the attention in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. However, with a blockbuster to her name, Manjari Phadnis is now moving on and looking forward to her upcoming assignments. The first of them, which would be unveiled for audiences any time, now is a music video for which she shot some time back.
"This is a beautiful 'sufi' number sung by Krishna (of Maula Mere - Chak De India and Main Jahaan Rahoon - Namastey London) fame. He has cut an album and a music video has been made for one of the songs. It is a good platform for me as I
am seen in Indian costumes. Also, since the video revolves around the character I enact, it does give me good visibility", says Manjari who made her debut as a school girl in 2004's Rok Sako To Rok Lo.
"It seems like such a long time. However, from here on I believe the journey should get into a fast track mode", adds Manjari whose next film release would be I Am 24 where she acts alongside Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia and
Vijay Raaz. "It is a breezy entertainer and the comedy there is first of its kind as well. It was a riot shooting for the film."
Talking about her newfound success, Manjari goes on to exclaim, "I missed all the euphoria created by Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na on its release. I was stationed in Bangkok and the moment I landed in Mumbai, I could sense people looking at me strangely. Soon a young girl passed by me and said 'hi Meghna' with a sweet smile. This is when I realised that the film and my character (Meghna) had caught on with people. Congratulatory calls have been coming in ever since then which by it's sheer quantum, to be honest, is a first as I didn't experience anything like that with Rok Sako To Rok Lo or Mumbai Salsa."
How about her now-famous 'what's that' act? One hears that it is getting popular as well in the campus circuit. "And also the Pappu Dance. So what if I couldn't be a part of the dance sequence, I still had a riot watching it over and over again. I am proud of the film and happy that youngsters have absorbed the flavour of the film so well.

Both releases of this week have received extremely negative reports for its content. Mission Istanbul followed a very outdated storyline and treatment in the guise of a film based on terrorism, while it actually ended up being a brainless action potboiler.
Despite a multi-starrer cast (Govinda, Aftab Shivdasani, Celina Jaitley, Upen Patel, Hansika Motwani, Manoj Bajpai, Ravi Kishen), Money Hai To Honey Hai was a non-starter from its first show and ridiculed for its inanity. While Mission Istanbul can maximum stretch itself to a couple of weeks, Money Hai To Honey Hai has flop written all over it.
Meanwhile, in absence of strong contenders, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na continues to do good business. A new song (title song in Sukhwinder Singh’s voice) was added to the prints for only one week to work as an added attraction and impart some novelty factor to this universal hit. Kismet connection, too, continues to work with the family and NRI audiences.
Next week’s release Ugly Aur Pagli holds a lot of promise for its interesting casting (Mallika Sherawat – Ranvir Shorey), unique storyline (dominating girl, submissive guy) and the youthful charm and witty humour quotient reminiscent of PNC’s previous attempt Pyaar Ke Side Effects.
