Personal agenda | Upen Patel

Born and brought up in London, Upen Patel was studying computer science when he decided to become a model. After winning Zee TV’s supermodel hunt in 2002, Upen modelled for several leading brands and designers. Next, he did music videos, after which he finally made his Bollywood debut in the murder mystery, 36 China Town. His second film, Namastey London, did well but the next few films, including One Two Three and Money Hai to Honey Hai didn’t. However, not willing to be written off so easily, Upen recently surprised everyone with his special appearance in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and his much improved Hindi.

Howdee doo hoo my plum cakes! What’s happening in your duniya? Plenty in mine I must say.. a friend wants me to cheer him up while he zips, zaps, zooms his newest racing car in Hong Kong for the next Formula 1 event. I love speed too much to be a mere spectator. I’d rather wait for Vyjjy to get me my own Ferrari and then I’ll go zip, zap, zoom too. Till then, here are some spicy nuggets from tinsel town.Imran-avantika

‘Hum Aap Aur Pyaar’ is going to be the next major release of Upen Patel where he would be seen as a central protagonist.

As the title of the film conveys, ‘Hum Aap Aur Pyaar’ is a musical romantic entertainer with dollops of comedy thrown in, something that makes Upen quite hopeful about the film’s prospects.
“I have always maintained that I love commercial Hindi cinema. This is the reason why I am here and these are the kind of projects I want to do”, says Upen who started his career with a thriller [36 China Town], followed it up with two dramatic films [Namaste London, Shakalaka Boom Boom] and continued with two back to back comedies [One Two Three, Money Hai To Honey Hai].

“Meanwhile, I was also itching for that one romantic musical to come my way. I love dancing and singing around the trees and on the streets for the camera. I have a filmy taste bud and was in the lookout of that perfect script that would convince me to don the role of a romantic protagonist”, says Upen who was first noticed for his hunky physique before being seen on the big screen.

Though there were offers of all kinds, including romantic films as well, Upen wanted to have a thorough look at a script before giving his consent to a role.

“There are temptations, especially when you are just starting off in your career. However, this is the time period when the risks are also higher. One wrong move and it becomes difficult for you to stand up”, says Upen with a word of caution. Continue reading ‘Upen Patel on his role in ‘Hum Aap Aur Pyaar’’

How do we know? Well, because we do mornings, too, dahlings!

This London bred model-turned-actor (please don’t ask us his filmography!) was at the gym in the wee hours… For an early morning shot, he was up even before the local doodhwala arrived, and made his way to the gym! Post his workout, he reported to Rajkumar Santoshi’s sets at sharp 7 am, much before the unit members. Continue reading ‘Upen Patel does mornings!’
