Leaving behind his father's successful business of restaurant chains, 23 year old actor Saqib Saleem, who makes his debut in Yash Raj Films' upcoming movie 'Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge', came to the city of dreams Mumbai.
Saqib hails from Delhi, where his father runs a successful restaurant business called 'Saleem's' with around 10 outlets. He assisted his father for almost six months and he got tired of it.
"During my college days, I used to help my father in his business. Also, I was modeling at the same time. I helped my dad for about six months but I was not enjoying it. I told him I want to go to Mumbai and do modelling, initially he was reluctant. He said if I do not get a job then I will have to come back and do MBA," Saqib told PTI in an interview.
When he landed in Mumbai, he did a few modelling assignments and few advertisements like 'Pepsi' ad with actor Ranbir Kapoor, 'Tata Docomo', 'KFC', 'Sprite', 'Bar One' and others.
"When I started shooting for ads, I liked being in front of camera and that built my interest for acting. I used to meet a lot of people, give auditions. But nothing fruitful happened. One of my friends got to know that Yash Raj Films
was looking for new faces. I gave auditions. It took 8-9 months, I was getting impatient, luckily I got confirmation," Saqib said.
'Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge', is a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of social networking site, directed by debutante Nupur Asthana.
"I liked the script and I did it. I feel, the youth will relate and connect with it. I think, the movie will put me in a different light and open lot of doors for me," he said.
The film, which comes from Y-Film's, the youth division of YRF, has four debut actors, Saqib Saleem, Nishant Dahiya, Saba Azad and Tara D'Souza. It will release on October 14.
The young actor has all praises for Yash Raj Films producer Aditya Chopra.
"I thank God, Aditya Chopra and YRF. When I was told I will have to meet him (Aditya), I was like I will have to behave well and be well dressed, polite and all. He is very nice and warm person...he helped us all. He gave us inputs", Saqib said.

Check Out the Unique Making of “Dheaon Dheaon” – Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge
( By BollySpice Editors)
Y-Films’ Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge is taking its being ‘India’s first Facebook love story’ very seriously and has now tapped into a host of internet biggies to promote its film in an innovative way. Kickstarting the action is one of India’s coolest online influencers, VJ & DJ, Nikhil Chinapa – to host a very twisted version of a ‘Making of’. Versus the regular questions about characters, etc. Chinapa quizzes the gang on their weirdest online habits, social media cock-ups and more.
First off the block is a hilarious take on the song ‘Dheaon Dheaon’ – a mad koothu-hip-hop fusion track from the film. ‘Dheaon Dheaon’ has been scored by Raghu Dixit, one of the country’s most talented indie musicians, and sung by Vishal Dadlani and Aditi Singh Sharma, featuring rap by Machas with Attitude.
So, if you’re liking the lip lockings and grooving to the hip-hoppings, check out how this track was made.

After Sandalwood, Raghu Dixit heads to Bollywood
 | |
Raghu Dixit |
Raghu Dixit, the musician who is often seen in a colourful panche and kurta teamed with ghungroos is on a new high after signing his first Bollywood project with none other than Y-films. The singer and composer who gave a new meaning to pop with his song 'Hey Bhagwan' that created a stir among the audience is all set to re-create the magic in his upcoming Hindi flick.
What’s more? The musician has also been awarded the Best Newcomer at the 2011 Songlines Music Awards, organised by a UK-based magazine Songlines. Currently working on his UK musical, he will be seen collaborating with English folk-band Bellowhead and Kathak dancer Gauri Sharma for the same.
“All the three of us performed together once, and seemed to have connected instantly. We decided on a staging a musical for which the production has already begun. Currently, we are in the process of finalising the story. Initially, we thought we could work on folk tales from the Panchatantra, but now we are browsing materials on Indian mythology. Nevertheless, there will be a strong folk element in our musical,” he reveals.
After a string of performances in the UK, the band will be seen performing at upcoming festivals like Glastonbury, Belladrum, Rhythms of the World, Latitude amongst others. Says Raghu, “The kind of response we get in places like the UK is amazing. Initially, it was difficult to break through, but there is a sense of curiosity for them to see men clad in weird costumes performing with western instruments. After the initial hiccup, they get comfortable.”
With work for his second album already in the pipeline, the composer seems to be having a rather busy year. “There will be about 10 songs in different languages like Tamil, Bengali, and Punjabi amongst others, unlike my previous album. I am looking at a November release,” he signs off.

Yash Raj Films' new banner to launch seven actors in 3 movies
Yash Raj Films' new youth films studio - Y-Films - will launch seven new faces in three movies in 2011.
Keeping with its vision of being a platform for new talent, Y-Films also showcased the fresh crop of directors and stars of the three films.
Yash Raj Films vice chairman Aditya Chopra said, "The youngest country in the world. Housing the largest movie going audience in the world. Youth! Its a segment that's not just too big - but too important - to ignore. Y-Films continues YRF's trend of breaking new genres. With a laser-sharp focus on youth, we hope to create a brand of cinema that will capture the hearts & imaginations of this elusive bunch and rock their world. Here's to a new revolution - that begins with 2 fingers!"

Patil adds, "Y-Films promise to deliver kick ass films of the youth, by the youth, for the youth.

The second film is a rom-com against the backdrop of social networking is interestingly titled Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge.

It may be recalled that Businessofcinema.com was the first to report that this movie will be directed by Nupur Asthana.

The movie will also mark the debut of Bollywood desi folk-rocker Raghu Dixit as composer.

YRF launches new youth film studio Y-Films
Yash Raj Films Thursday launched a new youth film studio Y-Films, which would showcase a fresh crop of directors and stars.
"Y-Films promises to deliver kick ass films of the youth, by the youth, for the youth and be the platform for new talent, both on screen and behind the scenes, who will challenge, change, break and set new rules of story telling," Ashish Patil, head of Y-Films said at the launch.
Y-Films is ready with three films - " Luv Ka The End" and " Virus Diwan" directed by Bumpy and "Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge" directed by Nupur Asthana".
Y-Films would come up with unconventional marketing strategies to promote their films.
"There are very aggressive digital strategies where lots of digital partners would come to play to help us. That's a challenge to the marketing process that was happening in the past. There was a template. By design Y-Films would burn those templates. All the things that we are going to do around marketing films would be pretty fresh," said Patil.
Creatively it would be completely independent of Yash Raj Films, claimed Patil.
"The only thing that we are tapping into as far the mother ship Yash Raj Films is concerned is production and distribution. Creatively its a completely new world. That's what is wonderful working with Adi ( Aditya Chopra) and Yashji," said Patil.
The first film "Luv ka The End" is slated to release May 6.
