Anil Kapoor follows daughter on the catwalk

After daughter Sonam Kapoor, it was the turn of dad Anil Kapoor to walk the ramp, taking everyone by surprise on the concluding day of the Lakme Fashion Week.
Clad in grey military fatigues, Anil walked smartly down the ramp for young designer Kunal Rawal Friday (October 24) evening.
"When I saw myself in the monitor just before entering the ramp, I was surprised by the look that Kunal's costumes gave me. It showed me in a completely different style," Anil said. "I was very excited to walk the ramp with my new look, which has never been tried before."
"Young designers in India are doing a wonderful job and the whole world is looking up to them," said Anil. Kunal has designed costumes for Akshay Khanna and Arshad Warsi for Anil Kapoor's next production Shortcut, which also stars Amrita Rao.
About Kunal, the Bollywood actor said: "He is an upcoming designer who is extremely good. He has done very good work for my film and I think he is the future of the fashion industry. I am always there to encourage young designers like him."
Kunal's collection Expedition was in masculine colours - khaki, beige, brown, black, white with touches of leaf green and a bit of orange - along with some bold checks.
Kunal said: "Anil-ji has been associated with a strong masculine image which he has carried successfully over the years. So there cannot be anyone better than him to carry my outfits, which have been designed for the male who enjoys the outdoors."
Kunal used fabrics like cotton, linen and techno in his collection. He merged a few Indian embellishments, like the stylised Jodhpuri pants and jackets as well as the bandhgala style in his silhouette.
Embroidery and military motifs were noticeable on some of the shirts, trousers and jackets.

I hope my film captures dignity of slum dwellers: Danny Boyle

British director Danny Boyle says unlike City of Joy and Salaam Bombay, his film Slumdog Millionare does not portray people living in Indian slums as poor and desperate.
"The word slum in my film's title has not been used in quite the obvious way. Working in the so-called slum areas of Mumbai, I found it a fantastically organised place to go. The people were hugely generous," said Boyle.
"They are a huge community of very dignified and warm people. I hope my film has captured their dignity. They're not portrayed as poor and desperate people in my film. I think people in India should see the film before they judge it," he added.
Loosely based on Vikas Swarup's best-selling novel Q & A, the film was shot in Mumbai.
Other international crew may have a different story to tell. But Boyle, who made films like Trainspotting, The Beach and 28 Days Later, has gone back swearing by the city.
Asked if Mumbai was fully peaceful for him, he said: "I don't know whether 'peaceful' would be the right word. For me it was a very happy experience. I got so attached to the city, they had to stop me from filming and push me out of Mumbai. The only way to make a film based on Mumbai is to accept how extraordinarily complex and interesting the city is.
"If you go from the outside to make a film in Mumbai thinking you'd be fully in control of the situation and blah blah, the film would never get made. If you trust and respect the city, it delivers back to you ten-fold."
Boyle hopes US-based Indian filmmaker Mira Nair would be able to make her second film on Mumbai Shantaram.
"If Slumdog Millionaire works for a mainstream audience, international studios would be encouraged to make mainstream films. Slumdog Millionaire has got a big heart, so I don't see why it should not work for a global audience. There's a line in the film where a character says, 'India has become the centre of the world now'. People outside are now warming up to India," said Boyle.
He has now spoken to Anil Kapoor, who makes a guest appearance in Slumdog Millionaire, about making another film in Mumbai.
"Yes, I did speak to Anil Kapoor about making another film. And if all goes well, I'll be back to do another film. It's such an amazing city. He's a wonderful actor. But he never forgets his producers' hat. He's always surveying the situation, cutting deals. I might be coming back.
"I had a seriously amazing time. One reason why the film works is the city's vivacity that we've captured on screen. It's been a while since we saw Mumbai in this light."
When contacted about Boyle's next Mumbai film, Anil said: "I'll speak about this only after the London Film Festival."
