Satish Kaushik is a man of varied interests. He is currently shooting for a film in Jharkhand and Allahabad. But he is also gearing up to return as a director. Satish who last directed Gang Of Ghosts in 2014 is all set to return to direction with a bio-pic on unusual man named Lal Bihari Mritak, a farmer from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh who was declared dead by the government. It took Lal Bihari 14 years to prove he was alive. Mritak, meaning the dead, was added to his name because of his official non-existent status. Satish says he has been fascinated by the subject for years. "Can you imagine the plight of a man who must fight to prove he is alive? Can you imagine his unbroken spirit that kept him going for 14 years through his relentless pursuit of his identity?" The filmmaker has been toying with the idea of a...

Mumbai, March 23: Southern actress Meera Chopra, who teamed up with a host of actors in her Bollywood debut "Gang Of Ghosts", says there is an advantage of working in a multi-starrer - the onus is on everyone if the movie doesn't work.
Released Friday, the comedy revolves around ghosts. It has been directed by Satish Kaushik who pulled off an impressive cast that includes Sharman Joshi, Parambrata Chatterjee, Mahie Gill, Anupam Kher, Saurabh Shukla, Rajpal Yadav and Jackie Shroff. It has got a lukewarm respone at the box office.
Meera said: "Before this film ('Gang of Ghosts'), I had signed Vikram Bhatt's film, which is a supernatural love story. So first, I signed that, but first this film released. So I feel it's an advantage.

For Satish Kaushik, who has been a part of countless comedies in his stint as an actor in 100 odd films, it was clear from the very onset that Gang Of Ghosts had to improvise a lot over the original Bengali film Bhooter Bhabishyat. For starters, he made sure that none of his actors underplayed their act and the film was much faster paced as well as vibrant.I loved Bhooter Bhabishyat. I think its core plotline is just fantastic. However, if you watch the whole film, it was on...

The coming Friday will once again witness multiple releases in the form of Sunny Leone's Ragini Mms 2, the Satish Kaushik directed Sharman Joshi starrer Gang Of Ghosts, the Rajat Kapoor venture Ankhon Dekhi and last but not the least Nagesh Kukunoor's Lakshmi. There is no doubt that the opening rounds will comprehensively belong to Ragini Mms 2 (thanks to the super hit music and horrex genre) but given the intrinsic merits Gang Of Ghosts will make a mark with audience as the days...

Film: "Gang Of Ghosts"; Cast: Sharman Joshi, Parambrata Chatterjee, Mahie Gill, Anupam Kher, Saurabh Shukla, Rajpal Yadav, Jackie Shroff, Meera Chopra; Director: Satish Kaushik; Rating: ***
Ghosts were never supposed to be funny...until Ivan Reitman made "Ghostbusters" in 1984. Satish Kaushik's funny-ghost story is most certainly not "Ghostbuster" re-'bhoot'-ed.
Rajesh Khattar as the avaricious builder with his thick Gujarati accent that cuts through the saturated soundtrack reminds us of the really comic films about land usurpation like Dibakar Bannerjee's "Khosla Ka Ghosla".
"Gang Of Ghosts" goes into convulsions.

Debutante Meera Chopra is in elite company. For her very first Bollywood film Gang Of Ghosts, she is being launched by Satish Kaushik.

There was a time in the 90s when filmmakers included parodies of various yesteryear chartbusters and brought them all together in one musical piece. The trend could well restart with Gang Of Ghosts, what with Satish Kaushik including a situation in his comic horror affair where his team of 'ghosts' comes together for a parody outing. The songs which are the chosen ones, come from Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Govinda starrers, amongst others. For Mahie Gill, who is anyway feat...

For 20000 odd audience at Mahalaxmi Race Course, it was one 'ghostly' sight that would be unforgettable for time to come. Thankfully, there was ample fun element in it as well that diluted the scare factor that is otherwise associated with ghostly sagas. "That happened yesterday when out of a sudden, a bunch of 'Ghost Riders' arrived out of nowhere," comments an observer, "As it turned out, these ghosts were the likes of Mahie Gill, Meera Chopra, Jacky Shroff, Chunky Pandey and Saurabh Shukla. Since each one of them plays a ghost from different eras in Gang of Ghosts, it was widely felt that their spooky appearance amidst much fanfare would not just bring in humor to all the clamor at the race course but also aid in bringing added eyeballs for the film." This is the reason why director Satish Kaushik and his producer partner Ratan Jain were thrilled when...
