Anil Kapoor pierces his ears twice for WELCOME

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,December 11 2007]

Talk about getting into the skin of the character! First Anil Kapoor turned designer for his role as a serio-comic don turned romantic in Welcome.

The latest on him is that the actor pierced both his ears not once but twice to be able to wear an ear-ring to go with his get-up in the first half.

Says a source, When Anil pierced his ears the first time the hole didn't sustain so he had to go through the pain of piercing them a second time. It was hurting him immensely but he didn't mind the pain!

Welcome also stars Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Paresh Rawal, Nana Patekar, Feroz Khan and Mallika Sherawat. Releasing on December 20, it is an Indian Films release through Studio 18.

Box office analysis

There are cheers all around when a film makes a loud announcement and turns out to be a success. Heavy gloom sets on when obituaries are written for a high profile film if it fails to take off on the first day itself. But isn't it worse when there is sheer indifference to the release of a film with hardly many being surprised/concerned/disappointed about a film's success or failure?
