Aamir, SRK meet, joke about media

2008-12-20T00:31:00.000-08:00

Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan met up on Wednesday late noon at Meh**** Studios in Bandra, Mumbai. It so happened that, Aamir was doing a photo-shoot for the watch brand Titan with Ashutosh Gowariker's brother, still photographer Avinash Gowariker in the Bandra Studio and Shah Rukh too was in the same studio doing the promotional video shoot of his home production, Billoo Barber. When Aamir came to know about SRK being around, he immediately went up to meet him.

My source present on location reveals, "Aamir was telling SRK how it took him more than six months to build his eight pack abs and then how painful it was for him to let go of that well toned physique for Raju Hirani's 3 Idiots. SRK too told him that he too would have loved to maintain his six pack abs but to play Suri in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and for his home production he had to let go back to a leaner look. They even discussed their films Rab Ne, Billoo Barber and Ghajini and also had a hearty laugh about how a game of one-upmanship amongst them is all a creation of the media."

My source further adds, Aamir left the studio earlier than SRK as he had to attend a promotional event for Ghaijini at far away Powai in Hotel Renaissance.
Well, the media is not exactly a fool dear Khans and where there is smoke there is fire. And what about all the remarks you make about each other? Surely, that is not 'created' by the media is it?

Amisha Patel To Live Together With Boyfriend Without Marriage

2008-12-20T00:16:00.000-08:00

For the last couple of months, Amisha Patel has been dating businessman Kanav Puri. Though wedding bells are far for ring for them, the couple has decided to move to the same apartment. With Kanav’s help, Amisha has purchased a cozy home in Mumbai. It is decided that whenever Kanav will visit India, he will stay with his ladylove in her home.

Kanav is a London based businessman and very often visits India in connection to work and to meet Amisha darling. The couple has been spotted holding hands in many parties and restaurants.
Amisha started dating Kanav after dumping producer Vikram Bhatt. She was dating Vikram for a long time but separated from him after some severe argument.

Amisha’s filmy career is almost on the verge of ending. After doing a dance number in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, she almost vanished from Bollywood. With nothing else to do, we suggest Amisha to get married and engaged in family life

Pics:The girl who did Aishwarya rai's Stunts in Dhoom 2

2008-12-12T14:04:00.000-08:00

If you were under the impression that all the stunts that our bollywood ladies perform are done by some skiny stuntman wearing a wig and dressing like a woman, well you are mistaken cause bollywood has its very own dare girl and surprise surprise, she is only 20, and in a very short career span, she has already performed some death defying stunt sequences that will even put the experience stunt men to shame.She was the one who did all the stunts for aishwarya rai in dhoom 2 and has also doubled for priety zinta, bipasha basu, katrina kaif, and many more.

Political parties have Failed: Aamir Khan

2008-12-04T00:03:00.000-08:00

Actor Aamir Khan on his blog blasted the political parties for not not being able to tackle terrorism and in fact fueling it by using the crisis to their advantage.

"As I had expected, various politicians have tried to use this traumatic and tragic attack to their advantage...quite clearly both the major political parties have failed to tackle terrorism...while what happened in Mumbai recently clearly exposes the incompetence of the Congress, the hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight 814 during the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule shows them in even worse light," Aamir posted on his blog www.aamirkhan.com/blog Tuesday.

"They actually negotiated with the terrorists and released three dreaded terrorists from Indian jails. All the five hijackers and the three terrorists released from India by the then BJP government were allowed to escape to attack us another day," he added.

The actor slammed the political and regional parties across the country for being "responsible in one way or the other, for fueling terrorism".

Aamir further criticised bargaining with the terrorists.

"No matter what, the next time round, and let's not fool ourselves, we must be alert and prepared for more attacks, we must not negotiate. All potential terrorists must get a very clear message that India does not negotiate with terrorists," he wrote.

"The other important thing we need to remind ourselves in this time of anger and hurt is to stay calm and take sensible steps, and not give in to thoughtless knee jerk reactions," he wrote.

Bollywood upset with RGV and Riteish

2008-12-03T01:20:00.000-08:00

Ram Gopal Verma and Riteish Deshmukh made a visit to see how Hotel Taj had been destructed by the terror attack along with CM Vilasrao Deshmukh on Sunday.

We asked Bollywood celebs for their reaction to RGV and Riteish’s tour of Taj.

Farhan Akhtar - It’s an unbelievable act done by CM and Ram Gopal Verma! I really don’t know what to comment on this whole act.

Harry Baweja- It was an unnecessary visit and I’m completely disturbed with what is happening to our city. I was completely shocked when I saw Ram Gopal Verma on every news channel.

Pooja Bedi- In Bollywood there are so many films which are made on real life stories like Shootout At Lokhandwala, Black Friday but why Ram Gopal Verma went with Vilasrao Deshmukh I cannot understand. He should have gone at some other time as every common man is curious to know what exactly happened but I don’t know what happened to Vilasrao Deshmukh that he took Ramu to the site!

Arjan Bajwa- This is not the correct time to discuss as why Ram Gopal Verma went with Mr. Deshmukh to see Hotel Taj. The main focus right now is to increase our security. Let me give you a recent example - I had to take flight to Hyderabad and now also security personals were not in keen in checking the things properly. There was a pair of my scissors in my bag and they didn’t check it also. He should not have visited the site immediately as now everyone is focusing on whether he is planning to make a film or not but that should be a secondary concern. The main concern is to increase security everywhere.”

Rohan Sippy - I don’t want to comment on any personal matter but according to me it was not necessary to visit the ruined Hotel Taj.

Samir Karnik - Ofcourse it’s ridiculous how Vilasrao Deshmukh allowed Ram Gopal Verma and his sons to accompany him. He should have kept it a political visit instead of family visit. This shows the man’s caliber. I just hope that after such attack the common man will become vigilant.

Imran Khan's brave style statement

2008-11-28T00:54:00.001-08:00

At the grand premiere of the controversial and opinionated
flick on former U.S president, George Bush a strange sight was
seen by all in attendance.

Another A-Lister to make his presence felt quite literally was
Aamir’s nephew, Imran Khan. Imran is a bold character, playing
a negative role in Kidnap at such an early stage of his career.
However in a strange and odd twist of fate he stunned all at
the President is Coming Premiere.

Sushmita Sen to do a Benazir Bhutto

2008-11-08T23:52:00.001-08:00

According to sources, Sushmita Sen will set aside Rani Laxmibai for a while, to play a more contemporary character from history.

The offer comes from Zaid Aziz and Henna Rai. Two companies, namely Vox Vision and Sum Films will produce the film jointly. The film will be made as a bilingual in English and Urdu, the lavish biopic is to be shot on location in Pakistan and England.

Though not willing to talk about the project, Sushmita has been working on her Urdu diction and also reading up extensively and watching footage on Benazir.

Says the diva, "I love playing historical characters." Lately, Sushmita has made peace with her close circle of associates, who had been less than honest in their dealings with her. Some of them are, in fact, back in her office. "I've made peace with all the people who wronged me. As for those who I might've wrong-ed, I say sorry to God. Some-times, you end up hurting the person you love the most by telling the truth. That person may not speak to me for years. But in the end, he'll get over the bitterness. In my heart, there's no bitterness. Only love."

Sushmita had a ball doing TV. "It requires little time. And the money is good. It wasn't about the big screen or small screen for me. I just wanted to do this show. If I don't do what I want to do now, when will I do it?"

When Salman made fun of Katrina Kaif on TV

2008-11-08T23:46:00.000-08:00

Filmstars making an appearance on reality shows to promote their films is something that has become a trend of late.

However, this time it was not just any film star but superstar Salman Khan and the gorgeous Katrina Kaif who made an appearance on the sets of Zee TV's 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009'.

The duo was there to promote their latest film Yuvvraaj (which releases on Nov 21st) and when you have Bollywood's hottest couple together, there is bound to be some magic.

Even after years of being in this industry, there are very few like Salman whose presence alone can make a show magical. Together Salman and Katrina made for a picture perfect couple and set the pulse racing.

Salman was his usual flamboyant self and Katrina as demure as ever. Amidst casual conversations, moments of mirth and camaraderie, they appeased everyone on the sets.

From doing a salsa jig with one of the contestants, Pratibha, to playing cupid between her and Soumen to making Himesh Reshammiya the butt of all jokes, Sallu did it all with élan and gave all the participants some wonderful moments to cherish. What's more? He even made fun of Katrina for her poor Hindi, all in good spirit of course.

Amidst all the fun, the 4 mentors, Himesh Reshammiya, Aadesh Shrivastav, Pritam and Shankar Mahadevan each dedicated a song to him.

However, the moment of the day came when Salman waltzed with Katrina as Pritam began singing 'Teri Ore' from Singh is Kinng.

Abhishek bachchan takes a dig at Salman khan

2008-11-08T23:36:00.000-08:00

Actor Abhishek Bachchan is on a promotion spree for KJo’s upcoming flick ‘Dostana’, along with John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra, who happen to be the hot-bods of the much awaited flick. The trio recently featured on the small screen, where they indulged in a candid chat with Karan Johar (supposedly as a part of the film’s promotion campaign), but ended up laughing as Aby Baby took potshots at his ‘newly declared’ good friend Salman Khan.

While John was at ease and Priyanka looked simply adorable, Abhishek could be seen clutching a blue cushion throughout the show over his stomach. As they were chatting and laughing and got indulged in a light-hearted discussion about the film on the show, Karan began his rapid fire round, and that is when Abhishek went bitchy from witty and started taking a dig at Salman.

Arshad Warsi to bare it all in Kaminey

2008-11-08T09:41:00.000-08:00

It's learnt that Arshad Warsi will be stripping down to the barest minimum for the Vishal Bhardwaj-produced Kaminey being shot in Wai right now.
"What you've heard is absolutely right. I'll be showing more of myself in a scene for Kaminey than I've ever shown, or I ever will. It's a bathing scene. Since I play a grass-root level guy, I am shown bathing under a municipal tap in my bare essentials."

So how much skin has Arshad shown? The actor clears his throat. "Let's put it this way. If I show any more, I'd be booked for indecency. But it's a film for which I'd do anything. I've rarely been happier working so hard." Not just the stripping, the role requires a lot more of Arshad than that. Since he plays a guy off the streets, he has to look suitably dark. Every morning, hours are spent painting Arshad Warsi's torso black.
"I've to be four shades less fair-skinned than I am. The make-up takes four hours everyday.

Rab ne bana di jodi Story Revealed

2008-11-08T09:35:00.000-08:00

Aditya Chopra's films are shrouded in secrecy and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is no different. From the leading lady of the film to the story, it's all closely guarded.
There have been rumours that the story was kept hidden even from the crew of the film. No one had even seen the script, besides the three lead characters — Shah Rukh, Anushka Sharma and Vinay Pathak.
Nach, anyone?
But the thing with secrets is that they always get out. Just as it did with the story of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. A source from the industry tells all: "It was a very earthy romantic film about SRK who is married to Anushka Sharma. There is a big age difference between them and they are not what you'd call a perfect couple. They are merely stretching their marriage with no real romance in between them. They are two very different people. There's a reality dance show called Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi — which is the main backdrop of the movie. The show is on the lines of popular television show, Nach Baliye."
Dance divide
The source continues, "Anushka wants to take part in the dance competition but she can't because her husband is a old and not hip and happening. She fears that if she dances with him, she will lose the show and become the laughing stock among all her friends, who are taking part in the same. Shah Rukh over hears his wife's problem and decides to go in for a makeover. He then watches some movies and changes his image completely and comes back to the show and woos Anushka off her feet. All the way through the dance competition, she keeps on falling in love with this new and improved Shah Rukh, without once realising that the man she is dancing with, is her real husband."
The spokesperson for Yash Raj Films simply says, "No comment!"

Ayesha Takia is getting Married?

2008-10-15T23:40:00.000-07:00

Cute and bubbly actress, Ayesha Takia is going to get married soon to her businessman boyfriend Farhan Azmi.

Farhan Azmi reveals, “My own wedding, I will start working on soon after. I want to tell the world about my commitment to Ayesha. I love her and marriage is the next step.”

Meanwhile Ayesha who is busy shooting for three films, Paatshala, Tasveer and Wanted Dead or Alive has already informed her movie bosses about her unavailability after marriage.

When Farhan was asked about Ayesha’s career after marriage, he said, “I have left the decision to work after marriage to Ayesha. She has always done sweet and enjoyable flicks. Never anything in bad taste. So I’m fine with whatever she chooses.”

Well we wish this cute couple a very happy married life ahead.

Katrina Kaif is Worth Rs.3.5 Crore !

2008-10-15T23:39:00.000-07:00

After the success of Singh is Kinng, Katrina Kaif is on cloud nine and so his price per film. Her popularity has also increased where the masses have voted her the sexiest woman in India. So with all that Katrina has hiked her price to a whooping 3.5 crore.

What more the beauty has bagged to very prestigious films from big banners entirely on her terms. The first film is said to be by Race directors Abbas Mustan while the other is said to be a Indo-Hollywood project.

Beauty, Brains and Money… Ah Perfect combination!

Katrina goes to Hollywood

2008-10-15T01:21:00.000-07:00

Looking at her comfort level in her English lines, Katrina Kaif has been offered an English film by a Hollywood major.

This clearly means that Katrina who is currently on the top in Bollywood, has indeed grown as an actor as Hollywood studios are not too keen to pick on actresses who cannot perform from India.

While the focus is to get more Indian bums perch on their seats in their Hollywood films, studios up in Hollywood are not the types who will sign on a sub-standard actor.

Katrina's acting till recently has not been accepted by Indian audiences, but after a string of hits with Akshay Kumar and others, Katrina is back in the reckoning in Bollywood and now Hollywood's luring her there too.

Interestingly Aishwarya Rai too was offered many Hollywood projects, but again that was at a time when the relationship with under duress.

The same is the case again with Katrina. History repeating itself with another Salman heroine?

Soha ali khan and Kunal khemu are Item

2008-10-15T01:09:00.000-07:00

Post her break-up with Rang De Basanti actor Siddharth

She is now seeing Kunal Khemu. According to an onlooker, the young couple looked happy together during the screening of The Journey to the Center of the Earth held in Mumbai recently.

An eyewitness said, “An official tried to click pictures of Soha and Kunal together, but they made a hasty retreat before they could be caught hanging out together. They both became good friends during the making of Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge, in which they star together. They continued to remain in touch even after the film’s shooting was complete. They were even spotted walking hand-in-hand for the special show of the Brendan Fraser starrer The Journey to the Center of the Earth,” added the source.

Incidentally, Kunal had sent a special invitation to Soha for the preview of his film, Superstar. Soha was present throughout the screening of the film.

Due to problems in her personal life, Soha was going through a low phase while shooting for Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge. She then got close to Kunal who unlike Siddharth is very attentive and considerate. The source said, “Soha found an anchor in Kunal. The two turned good friends. However, the friendship has turned into a serious relationship as they have been paired together once again for a film titled 99. Soha and Kunal looked absolutely comfortable together during the launch bash of the new film.”

We contacted Soha, who laughed and said, “Yes, we did go to see a film a few weeks ago with a few friends. We worked together in Dhoondte... and are working together once again in 99. Of course, we are friends! I am lucky to be working with Kunal, he’s the most talented young actor in the film industry.” And Kunal said, “Yes, Soha and I are great friends and we do go out together. We share an excellent rapport. What’s the harm in that? People are going to talk about two stars doing two films together. I don’t want to say anything beyond that.”

Ten bad girls of bollywood

2008-10-15T01:04:00.000-07:00

We've had our share of bad girls. The Femme Fatale in Indian cinema is as old as betrayal itself, and our leading men have often been stabbed in the back by their women.

With Karzzzz coming up, here's a look at some memorable characters -- characters who lie, cheat and steal. And look good while doing it.

10. Urmila in Karzzzz

One of Hindi cinema's ultimate vamps, Kamini was a role made famous by Simi Garewal in Subhash Ghai's 1980 smash hit, Karz.

The Himesh Reshammiya version, all set to be unleashed upon us this Friday, features a few more Zs and an ounce or two more oomph with Urmila -- though can any woman really match up to the creepiness of Simi? We bet Urmi'll through in some hardcore shrieking, though.

9. Katrina/Bipasha in Race Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif play characters so wholly immoral in Abbas-Mastan's Race that it's hard to keep up with who is cheating with who as they each take turns to side with -- and betray -- the film's leading men, Akshaye Khanna and Saif Ali Khan.

Kaif does manage to make formalwear look pretty darned hot, though -- where would movies be without the sexy secretary?

8. Rani Mukerji in Kabhi Alvidaa Naa Kehnaa Clearly, the lady was a masochist.

There had to be some sort of bondage connection about falling in love with Shah Rukh Khan, cast against type as the most unlovable feller in the world, a surly grouch who routinely bawled out his young son for playing a violin.

Frustration was rife in the air, but somehow these two losers connected, figuring out where the party actually was, even as their spouses innocuously asked the same question.

7. Priyanka Chopra in Aitraaz Still considered one of her landmark roles, Ms Chopra bounced to prominence with her raunchy take on the Demi Moore character from Disclosure in yet another Abbas-Mastan film.

Priyanka threw herself into the role -- and onto co-star Akshay Kumar -- with such impassioned gusto that nobody who was watching really had much to complain about.

6. Kareena in Fida This Ken Ghosh film saw then-lovers Kareena and Shahid Kapoor cast as an on-screen pair, and with audiences naturally lulled into thinking all was hunky-dory, a shocker had to be sprung: Kareena made the Bollywoodesque decision that Khan trumps Kapoor, and decided to ditch Shahid for Fardeen.

5. Kajol in Gupt Rajiv Rai's blockbuster Gupt was a rarity in desi parts, a pretty authentic whodunnit.

Woven around a killer melodramatically offing people testifying against Bobby Deol, the man who all the circumstantial evidence was pointing towards, it's not all that hard to see the twist coming -- the killer is indeed the aforementioned actress, murdering because of a crush -- but Kajol's performance managed to elevate the film's climax and take it to a popcorn-friendly crescendo.

4. Rimii Sen in Johnny Gaddaar Marriage to the technicolor-shirt wearing Shardul (played by Zaakir Hussain) had to take its toll on a young jigsaw-puzzle lover, and so Sen hitched her wagon to the blue-eyed and fresh faced Neil Nitin Mukesh, playing one of Shardul's 'business associates.'

Not content with merely cheating on her uncouth hubby, Sen also incited young Neil to larceny. Nice.

3. Mallika Sherawat in Murder Really, this one we all know about.

In the film, Mallika is married to Ashmit Patel -- making infidelity quite the plausible option by default -- and in walks Emraan Hashmi, ensuring that Bollywood steaminess would never be about intertwined flowers and trains-through-tunnels anymore.

2. Rekha in Silsila This Yash Chopra classic saw Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha falling deeply in love, but soon ending up in different, utterly unwanted marriages.

When they run into each other again, the flames are well rekindled and much hotel-room action is had.

Their infidelity finds bhang-driven celebration in the iconic Rang Barse, a song where they unashamedly make a run for each other while spouses Jaya Bachchan and Sanjeev Kumar look despairingly on.

1. Tabu in Maqbool One of the finest of our on-screen femme fatales, Tabu plays the Lady Macbeth routine with such delicious sensuality that it's hard not to be on her side.

Vishal Bhardwaj's Maqbool sees the ever-stunning actress seduce the morally ambiguous Irrfan Khan in the titular role even as she's wed to the Godfatheresque Pankaj Kapoor.

That line where she tells Khan about the various moles on her body still gives us, um, goose-pimples.

Deepika and Ranbir in Sarkar Raj 3

2008-10-14T02:17:00.000-07:00

Recently RGV has signed young lovebirds Deepika and Ranbir for 'Sarkar Raj 3' Ranbir will play the role of Chickoo, and Deepika will play Chickoo’s wife. The film will also have Amitabh Bachchan, Supriya Pathak and Aishwarya Rai.At a recent product launch, Bollywood's latest diva Deepika Padukone remarked that, its very important for an actress to look beautiful and fresh round the clock, so one should not compromise on the beauty products they use for their skin.
According to recent report, RGV has allegedly signed young lovebirds Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone for the prequel of Sarkar Raj.

A source reveals, “Even though Sarkar Raj bombed, Ramu is quite adamant on continuing with the series. Apparently, Ranbir will play the role of Chickoo (Kay Kay Menon’s son from the original Sarkar) who will now be all grown up. A scene in regards to this put in the final few minutes of Sarkar Raj. Deepika Padukone will play Chickoo’s wife.”

Apart from Ranbir and Deepika, the film will also have Amitabh Bachchan, Supriya Pathak and Aishwarya Rai.

Sophie Chowdhery's Item Number Costume!!

2008-10-14T02:05:00.000-07:00

Sophie’s costume drama!

Sophie Choudry’s item song with Sanjay Dutt in Sanjay Gadhvi’s Kidnap is pretty loaded.

Of course the song has its sensual moments no doubt! But few know that the actress’ costume weighed over 15 kgs. Wearing a heavy outfit and doing intrinsic steps was a tough task. However that did not bother Sophie. He costume designer Shilpa Bhatia says, “Sophie has worn two costumes in the song. While one with mirror weighed over five kgs, the other one, made out of crystals, weighed around 15 kgs. The funniest part was when Sophie would change into her usual get up and tell everybody around that she felt so much lighter and talk about weight loss. It was just that removing the heavy costumes that made her feel lighter.”

Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherji to romance each other!

2008-10-14T02:03:00.001-07:00

It seems all the bong babes of Bollywood aspire to romance guys half their age. After Bipasha Basu wooed Ranbir Kapoor in Bachcna Ae Haseeno it’s the turn of Rani Mukherjee.

The ageing beauty who’s had a spate of flops at the Box Office including Laage Chunari Mein Daag and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic will be seen with chocolatey boy Shahid Kapoor.

Although Rani and Shahid have never appeared together on screen their jodi seem to have caught the imagination of the directors. Believe it or not the two stars will be romance each other in two back to back movies.

The first will be made by Rani’s on and off beau Aditya Chopra who seems to be obsessed with his lady love under the Yash Raj banner. The second will be directed by Priyadarshan.

If reports are to be believed Rani and Shahid will feature in a very bold scene in the Aditya Chopra flick. It will be interesting to see the chemistry between Rani and her sworn enemy Kareena’s ex beau. The movie will give Rani a chance to hide her ageing signs starring opposite a much younger hero!

Kangana get cosy with her boyfriend

2008-10-13T01:59:00.001-07:00

From the beginning of her career Kangana Ranaut has seemed to be comfortable with exposing, steamy scenes and playing troubled characters.

In all her films from ‘Gangster’, ‘Woh Lamhe’, ‘Shaka Laka Boom Boom’ to ‘Life in a Metro’ (and the upcoming ‘Fashion’), she’s repeatedly done things of that kind!

This time it’s being said that her lovemaking scene in ‘Raaz 2′ gets steamier than ever.

That’s quite natural. The guy with whom she’s filmed it is none other than Adhyayan Suman, her real-life boyfriend.

Yes, Kangana has been seeing him after she walked out of her long term relationship with Aditya Panscholi and was ‘done using him’ (as accused by the jilted Panscholi)!

Reportedly Kangana and Adhyayan play a madly-in-love couple in the Vishesh Films’ movie. Since the two are shown to be a live-in couple in the film, director Mohit Suri thought of shoot a lovemaking scene between them. The scene required the two actors to get cozy and even share a passionate kiss.

As expected the real life lovers were game for it. The buzz is that everything was very spontaneous and they didn’t even rehearse before shooting the scene.

With an expert like Kangana around, it must have been very simple indeed!

Shahrukh Khan To Retire from Bollywood Within 3 Years

2008-10-13T01:57:00.000-07:00

Superstar Shahrukh Khan is ready to retire from the film industry within the time period of 3 years. We reported a few weeks ago that Shahrukh Khan was thinking about moving to Dubai… well his wife Gauri Khan has already started making plans for building Mannat over there.

The source says, “Shahrukh knows that his time in Bollywood as an actor is limited. An actor can only go on for so long and with the kind of roles he plays as young romantic, then he will not be able to do that for any longer. He is already getting old. Shahrukh hopes to retire from movies with the next 3 years after which he will concentrate on production business. Shahrukh will not make a complete exit from acting but intends to star in at least one movie per year, but this will be for his own banner and the role will be of a supporting actor”.

Source continues, “Shahrukh has already started looking - and it has just been announced - for land in Dubai where he intends to build housing and shopping complexes. It is on this patch of land that Shahrukh will build his much famous abode Mannat. He has already told his wife Gauri to make the plans and get the ideal design created. It has to be identical to Mannat in Mumbai. The Khans are much fond of this house”.

Well there you have it… Shahrukh Khan is moving away to Dubai. We wish him all the best King Khan!

John bares it almost............

2008-10-12T21:19:00.000-07:00

John Abraham has shows off his bod in his forthcoming flick, Karan Johar's Dostana, directed by Tarun Mansukhani. Here he talks about doing a bare dare…

Let's talk about the yellow trunks...
Well, I think that they fit well. Karan and I sat down and discussed the exact trunk that I'd be wearing. We looked at some black-coloured ones but decided to go with the yellow one. The fact that we shot in Miami has something to do with the colour. It's a vibrant, fun place and my styling was done keeping that in mind.

Were you hesitant at all to strip?
There was no such hesitation at my end. For me, it was the brief that mattered. Karan told me exactly the way I was supposed to look in the film and that helped me work towards achieving the same. It was important for me to follow that vision and deliver.

How comfortable are you in your skin?
I am extremely comfortable. I think it's very important when it comes to playing a role like I did for Dostana. I think it also has something to do with my modelling background. I have always been very much at ease with the way I look and feel. For me, it's more the personality that matters than the looks.

Would you show it all if a role required it?
Yes, definitely. Why not? In fact, I have always chosen films and roles that have asked me to do something different. I am extremely comfortable getting into the skin of my character and bringing it alive on screen. However, it doesn't have to be perverse. Also different characters demand you to adapt to what the script demands. Maybe you are shown nude in a torture scene, it doesn't necessary have to be sexual.

Did you do extra workouts for the scene?
Yes, I had trainer Mike Ryan fly down from LA to Miami to work on my body. Back home, I worked with Aalimbhai at Gold's Gym. The point wasn't just to have abs, or a great chest or looked bulked up, I had to work on the entire look, especially my legs. I believe whatever is attainable is also desirable. I also had to keep in mind my diet and focus on eating the right stuff.

What have been the reactions to your Dostana look?
The reactions have been overwhelming and amusing. I am happy that people are looking at my body and appreciating the look. In fact, at times, I even feel like a meat shop!

You are now a gay icon. Comment.
I know a lot of my fans belong to the gay community. All power to them. I have always maintained that respect for this section of my fan base. I have friends who are gay. Tarun (Mansukhani) deserves a lot of credit for not making us look like caricatures and bringing so much life and fun to our roles.

How did you prepare for the part?
As far as preparations go, Karan told me, 'you've forgotten the sensuous side of you'. He told me that I appealed to both genders and that I shouldn't forget that. The preparation didn't just include getting a Baywatch body but went much beyond all that.

Any possibility of backlash from the gay community for the part?
I don't think there will be one. Both of us have taken extreme care to not come out as loud, or OTT anywhere. It's a very non-offensive, laid-back easy- going fun film. Something everyone will enjoy.

This is your second film with Abhishek after Dhoom 2…
I think after Dostana, everyone will call us the next Shah Rukh-Kajol. He isn't just a co-star or a friend but it goes much beyond that. He's a great human being and fun to work with. Of course, not to forget Priyanka who compliments us both.

Biggest Controversies In History Of Bollywood

2008-10-12T12:05:00.000-07:00

Bollywood has always had its share of controversies with film posters and other events showing our dear celebs in bad light, whether it was appearing nude on magazine covers or doing naughty ad campaigns. Indiatimes Movies looks back at a few moments in the past where actors took things too far...

Pooja Bedi in Kamasutra Ad

Speaking about sex and condoms was a strict no no in India during the 80’s and 90’s. And it was to Pooja Bedi and Marc Robinson’s credit that the Kamasutra ad for coloured condoms brought about an awareness that was lacking in India then, though it shocked the nation and created all the possible controversies and troubles. The campaign that the two came together saw an intensely intimate sequence taking place between two of the hottest models around the circuit at that point of time. Marc Robinson was already a supermodel beginning to make waves internationally too and Pooja Bedi (daughter of Kabir Bedi and Protima Bedi) was looking to succeed and make a mark for herself. Gauging by the excitement the condom ad created, Pooja surely left an indelible mark.

Mamta Kulkarni on the cover of Stardust:

She was the reigning sex symbol of the 1990’s who became the talk of the town and gained popularity when she appeared on the cover of Stardust film magazine with her arms across her breasts in the September issue of 1993. While the film magazine was lapped up like hot cakes, the actress had to face legal action from the Indian court of law apart from the pressure that was put by various moral police groups.

But Mamta wasn’t one who was going to take anything lying down. She gave as good as she got and called everyone concerned a hypocrite. Finally Mamta Kulkarni had to shell out Rs 15000 after she was convicted in July 2000. Till today her picture on the covers has been treated as one of the most sensational things to have happened in the Indian film industry.

Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre in Tuff ad campaign:

This was the first time that model Madhu Sapre posed nude but it wasn’t something new for supermodel Milind Soman who had taken off his clothes in front of the camera a few times before the Tuff shoe ad campaign in July 1995. With only a thick skinned python separating their bare bodies, Milind and Madhu who happened to be dating during that period had no issues getting close for comfort.

It didn’t take long for the ad to fall into deep trouble and with the Shiv Sena protesting loud and hard the court was forced to ban the ad campaign on the whole. The posters and hoardings of the ad too were not spared and were all taken down. It certainly wasn’t a happy ending for Milind and Madhu Sapre.

Pooja Bhatt’s body painting:

Demi Moore was the original diva from Hollywood who painted herself nude to appear on a magazine cover. And then our very own Pooja Bhatt got inspired by Moore and compromised herself and her body to allow herself to be spray-painted for a similar look and get-up for an Indian magazine. The only glaring difference being that unlike Demi Moore, Pooja Bhatt wasn’t nine months pregnant. The whole act was possible after Pooja sat through four hours of spray painting but hopefully she feels it worth the effort.

Not only did Pooja create a stir with her bare body painting, she also shocked one and all when she smooched her father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt for a magazine cover. Pooja Bhatt rewrote the relationship between a father and a daughter in that one moment between the two of them.

Mallika Sherawat in Kis Kis Ki Kismat:

Controversy has forever dogged Mallika Sherawat wherever she went. Be it for her acts in films (kissing Himanshu Malik 17 times in Khwahish or getting cozy with Emraan Hashmi in Murder ) or for her publicity stunts that she so effectively executes during the release of her films. Kis Kis Ki Kismat was no different except that it was a photograph that caused such uproar in Bollywood.

Wearing a bright red dress that hits you right in the eye Mallika was so engrossed during the photo-shoot that the actress did not notice that her white coloured panties were being filmed at the same time. Whether it was something that happened by chance or whether Mallika had strategically done it to garner publicity for the film, we’ll never know but she surely did a good job of it.

Neha Dhupia goes backless in Julie

the photograph itself seems to be suggesting that Neha Dhupia wasn’t entirely comfortable posing for the movie poster. But she had no choice as Neha had already signed a contract with director of Julie, Deepak Shivdasani and producer Bablu Pachisia which stated that Neha would in no way have any kind of objection to posing in skimpy shootings for the promotion and the shooting of the movie. The director-producer duo took this step after they witnessed Shashilal K Nair’s film Ek Chotisi Love Story falling into trouble after lead actress Manisha Koirala accused Nair of using a body double for a few nude shots in the film.

But Neha Dhupia seemed to have no problems signing on the dotted line for Julie and to give this exotic shot as well.

Neha Dhupia’s poster in film Utthan:

Neha Dhupia has done bold films and bolder scenes in those films as well but Neha may never have prepared herself for what befell her while filming the now unknown movie Utthan which was to be produced by acclaimed playback singer Kumar Sanu. The film had Neha Dhupia and her Julie co-star Priyanshu Chatterjee in lead roles but what was disturbing were the posters of the film which saw Neha exposing much more flesh than what was necessary.

Neha later distanced herself from the film and its publicity that was more than understandable. The film today has been lost in pages of Bollywood and the controversy surrounding Neha Dhupia has been long forgotten.

Portrait of Angelina Jolie breastfeeding, taken by Brad Pitt

2008-10-09T23:56:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie has famously lived her life as an open book - and now in a revealing new portrait taken by partner Brad Pitt, she shares an astonishingly private moment with the public.

The Hollywood star sits with brunette locks tumbling over her shoulders, with the top of her blouse pulled down to expose her breast - which is somewhat covered by the tiny fingers which just reveal the presence of one of her suckling twins.

Jiah khan gatecrashes Gauri khan's party-pics

2008-10-09T23:45:00.000-07:00

Jiah Khan has always been known to be something of a wild child — never really caring for conventions or propriety. But her latest indiscretion took the cake. She showed up uninvited to Gauri Khan's birthday party and earned yet another unflattering tag — that of a hanger-on.
The Nishabd girl arrived on Tuesday night at the Khan residence, Mannat, on the arm of Aditya Khanna, a close friend of Gauri's.
Hanger-on
Says a source present at the party, "Gauri is very particular about who she welcomes into her home. The party was for a small and close-knit group. Gauri was irritated with the presence of this 'outsider' on her list of invitees. Worse, Jiah behaved like she belonged there, much to the surprise of the select group of Mrs Khan's friends. Here was this girl who had coolly walked in as her uninvited guest. Gauri is too classy to snub a guest in her home but it was obvious with her interaction with the Khan girl. However, Jiah just looked on unconcerned and instead of walking out as any self-respecting person would've done, she hung around."

My family does not harbour any ill will towards anyone. I love Karan [Johar] and Farah [Khan] and they are such people with whom I can make an emotional investment.”

When quizzed whether he wished Salman a happy Eid, he said, “I wish everyone happy Eid. Wishes are not for an individual but for everyone. “

This movie is directed by Pooja bhatt and stars Himesh reshmiya opposite a Pakistani girl Mona laiza

Himesh reshamiya's Kajraare is remake of Sadak

2008-10-06T20:13:00.000-07:00

Pooja Bhatt is quite excited about her upcoming directorial film, Kajaare. However, the story has a striking resemblance to one of her own films Sadak, in which she had acted years ago. Incidentally, the track of Kajaare is similar to that of Sadak.
Pooja Bhatt's Sadak was opposite Sanjay Dutt while in Kajaare, Himesh Reshammiya romances Pakistani girl Mona Lisa.
An insider said, "Interestingly, Amrita Singh's role in Kajraare is similar to that of Sadashiv Amarapurkar in Sadak. Amrita's character is also as vicious as Sadashiv's was."
When contacted, head honcho of T Series (who is producing Kajraare), Bhushan Kumar, said, "It's too early to talk about this. Right now, we are busy with the release of Karzzzz."
However, Himesh Reshammiya who
stars in Kajraare said, "I would not like to say that both the films are similar Let me put it this way. Kajrare is the latest version of Sadak."
It would be interesting to know if Pooja's father Mahesh Bhatt and uncle Mukesh Bhatt who produced Sadak are aware of the similarities.

Monica bedi to be back in Big boss's house

2008-10-06T20:10:00.000-07:00

The wild card entry results for Bigg Boss Season 2 are out and as speculated it will be Monica Bedi who will reenter the house today. She is all set to play the game all over again but this time, she is much-relieved. Excerpts from the interview:

• How does it feel going back to the Bigg Boss house?
I am excited and happy that so many people have voted for me. It means a lot as I have got all this love from the very people who hated me. It is a feeling of being finally wanted after all that I have gone through in my life. People didn’t like me and I know they were not wrong.

• What will be the change in strategy as now you have seen many episodes on television and you understand the game?
To be very frank, I didn’t know anything about the show as during the first season, I was in jail. My only intention, when I heard the format of the show, was that everyone will get to see the real me. And it would help me change my image. Now that I have got an opportunity through the wild card entry, I will get enough time to do what I had planned. I am not here to win or lose. I am here to correct some things in my life. But, I was eliminated. This time I will use all the time to clean my image further.

• Payal Rohatgi was your close friend inside the house but she nominated you for being eliminated. Were you hurt?
I was surprised more than hurt. I guess she was jealous of me because of Rahul (Mahajan). But I was even more amazed that she also nominated Rakhi (Vijan) who considered Rahul her brother. I guess Payal does not get along with any girl.

• Do you plan to settle scores with her?
No. I can’t do that. I am not that kind of a person.

• After your eviction, the housemates blamed Rahul Mahajan as he didn’t let you interact with anyone else. Will you now interact with everyone in the house?
Of course I will. I am a shy girl and I take some time before getting friendly. Rahul and Rakhi were very forthcoming and I was comfortable with them. I don’t think it is right to blame anyone.

• Rahul has openly said that he misses you and that’s why he is using your bed sheet…
Rahul is a kid. I don’t take Rahul seriously at all. It was Rakhi who wanted us to be together as she wanted me to be happy. On hindsight, I think Rahul and Payal make a good pair.

• That’s means you are aware of their relationship…
I think everyone is aware. I don’t know why they were behaving as strangers earlier and I still don’t understand why they were hiding it in the first place.

• Who among the housemates do you consider nice…
I think it has to be Debojit. He is a no nonsense guy. Diana (Hayden) is also intelligent but I don’t know her at all and am looking forward to meeting her.

• Are you in touch with your parents now?
Yes I am in touch with them regularly. They can see that I am at ease now.

• Are you worried that the cops have asked for your Bigg Boss tapes?
I have no problem with that. In fact, I am happy about it. Whatever doubt they have, they are free to clear it. They are just doing their job. I guess they might be thinking that I have hidden things from them might have said something in the Bigg Boss house that might interest them. I don’t have to worry as my case is almost over now and I have told them everything I had to.

• Finally what are the offers that you have been getting and have you signed anything?
I have many offers from both the film and TV industry. I also have a couple of concrete offers from reality shows but everything is on a hold right now due to Bigg Boss. I will sign new projects after I am out of the Bigg Boss house.

Himesh Reshamiya:I'm the worst Monty

2008-10-05T19:54:00.000-07:00

Himesh Reshammiya gets candid about why stepping into Rishi Kapoor’s shoes was a huge task, what will he do if Karzzzz fails, and his equation with Salman Khan
What made you remake a classic film like Karz?
I loved Karz and I am a huge fan of the film as well as Rishi Kapoorji and Ghaisaab (Subhash). When Bhushanji of T Series signed me for three films, I gave them the idea to remake Karz. I was very excited when Ghaisaab agreed to give us the rights. I already had thought of the music, which would go very well with the remake. Things fell in place and that’s how we made Karzzzz.

• Didn’t you ever think that remaking Karz would be difficult considering Rishi Kapoor was perfect for the role of Monty as he not only had the looks but also the dancing abilities?
I agree that Rishiji is the best looking Monty while I am the worst. But I have given it a shot and thankfully the music of the film is a hit. This is also the first time I am playing a character and not Himesh like I did in Aap Ka Surroor. There are people who are ready to rip me apart. I am neither an actor nor a good dancer. But all I can say is that I have worked very hard and there are millions of people because of whose prayers, I will sail through.

• Your film’s music is a hit and there are high expectations…
Yes, Reliance which bought the film from T Series is releasing the film in a big way. They are going to release the film with 1100 prints and might add more prints later. I am anxious to see how the audience reacts to my role in the film. The big question on everyone’s mind is whether I will deliver or not.

• What if Karzzzz flops?
If Karzzzz flops, the pressure will shift to my next film Kajraare. A lot is at stake as I am doing five films with top banners. All these films cost above Rs 25 crore. It is a huge task but God willing everything will work out.

• You have lost lot of weight for Karzzzz?
Yes, I lost around 11 kgs for the role. The funny part is that I was eating so much boiled food and tandoori food that I made the song ‘Tandoori nights’ as that was the state of my mind! (Laughs)

• There are reports that you and Salman Khan are no longer friends.
Salman Khan is my godfather. Period.

• Are you in touch with him?
Of course I am. I just met him before the music release of Karzzzz. There never was any fall out and there never will be one. I owe my career to Salmanbhai and not only him, his family has always been there for me and vice versa.

• What is the problem between you and Sonu Niigaam?
Sonu is the best singer in India. I truly believe that he is a wonderful human being and a wonderful singer. If I ever come face-to-face with him, I will be the first one to say hello to him. He has sung some incredible songs and I really respect him. I love his voice.

• Last year you went to Ajmer Sharif wearing a burqua just before the release of Aap Ka Surroor. Will you also go this year?
Yes of course I will but definitely without a burqua.

• Is your son Swayam your worst critic?
Yes. Thankfully, he has loved the music and promos of Karzzzz. He is very eager to see the film. I will show it to him soon. His judgment has been absolutely right in the last one year and I am waiting for his feedback on Karzzzz.

• There are reports that you charge as much as the top actors in Bollywood do.
I ask for what I think I deserve. I took an X amount from Bhushan Kumar for Karzzzz and as you all know, he has already made profits. I will always look at things from the producer’s point of view and then charge accordingly.

As a wife I tend to get partial towards Abhishek: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

2008-10-05T00:20:00.001-07:00

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai says that "Drona", in which hubby Abhishek Bachchan plays the title role, reminds her of her childhood days.

"'Drona' is a film that is rarely made in Bollywood. Not only will kids enjoy the film, elders too will revisit their childhood fantasies while watching the movie.

Even I was reminded of my childhood days - when my world used to revolve around fairy tales like the stories of 'Amar Chitra Katha' and the horses, angels, knights and magic in it, " Aishwarya told reporters here Friday.

Aishwarya, the brand ambassadress of Longines, was here for the press conference of Longines Sports Watch collection.

Commenting on Abhishek's performance in "Drona", she said: "If you are asking a wife to rate her husband, then I will tend to get partial. But if you are asking an actor to comment on another, then I will say that Abhishek is a dedicated actor and knows his job well."

Directed by Goldie Behl, "Drona" is a fantasy thriller. It was released Thursday.

Aishwarya also walked the ramp showcasing the new collection of HydroConquest watches for the first time in Kolkata.

"This is the first time that I have walked the ramp in Kolkata. The city has always been special for my family (the Bachchans) and for me.

And since it's the auspicious time of Durga Puja, I requested Longines to launch their collection in Kolkata first. The next destination is Delhi. We will go there Saturday, " the actress said.

On her experience of walking the ramp after so many years, Aishwarya said it felt like "the old days are back".

Aishwarya has just finished shooting for Shankar's "Robot" that stars Rajnikant in the male lead. She is to soon start shooting for Mani Ratnam's "Ravana" with Abhishek.

Wasim Akram not interested in Bollywood

2008-10-04T12:19:00.000-07:00

Known as one of the most fearsome and the strikingly handsome Pakistani fast bowlers in the history of cricket, Wasim Akram made his own niche when it came to sports and other forms of entertainment. Speaking about his stint in Bollywood, he said that acting is not his cup of tea and added that there were many cricketers who came in and went out. However, he said that he is happy to do any entertaining programme if there is no acting involved in it.

"Sohail is the wittiest of the three Khans" - Katrina Kaif

2008-10-04T12:17:00.001-07:00

'Goddess of Luck', 'Woman with a golden touch', 'Lucky Charm' - Quite a few titles have been bestowed upon Katrina Kaif ever since she has delivered a string of successful films. A true 'superstar' today, it was imperative that she appears on 'Sajid Superstars'. Here is what she had to share on the show:

- The world waits with a bated breath to know whether she is single or indeed seeing someone (read Salman Khan). She was asked the obvious question on the show and she confessed - (hold your breath) - that she is still single. Well, before jumping from your seats, there is more to come. She tactically replied that as per her, a person is bound to be single until he/she is unmarried! Got the logic!

- In her career so far, she has delivered maximum number of hits with Akshay Kumar. As a 'jodi' they have been terrific and come with almost cent percent success rate. Katrina speaks about Akshay, his professionalism and his dedication in front of the camera. She also speaks about Vipul Shah, the man who gave her a challenging role in Namastey London and the biggest success of her career - Singh Is Kinng.

- No wonder, her scene from Namastey London (where she meets Riteish Deshmukh) is the chosen one for her best scene ever. The worst came from Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. Any guesses for the chosen one here.

- Her Hindi has always been under the scanner ever since she set her sight on Bollywood. Malaika Arora asked her in Hindi that when she would begin conversing with people in Hindi. Katrina's reply to that? - "I talk in Hindi only with my staff; however I didn't know even you could talk in Hindi"! Ahem ahem!

- Sajid Khan didn't stop though from smiling away in a corner. He gifted Katrina a book on rapid course for Hindi speaking!

- When Katrina is around, a question around Salman is inevitable. This time around three Khans came into picture - Sohail, Arbaaz and of course Salman. On being asked about the wittiest of the three Khans, Sohail stood at the top of the heap. Reason? As per Katrina, Sohail is genuinely funny and has everyone around him in splits. Arbaaz came second due to his dry sense of humor. As for Salman, well, find it out on the show!

- Getting nostalgic about her initial years in the world of cinema, Katrina spoke about her film down south, 'Malliswari', the film she had done post the debacle of Boom and before the success of Sarkar. She talks about her good working experience with Venkatesh in the film and how she wasn't really worried about the film's language (Telugu) and mainly wanted to gain from the experience!

- She did confess though that Race continues to have a special place in her heart since it made a difference to her career. The twists and turns in the narrative made it an exciting ride for her.

- Getting naughty, Arjun Rampal asked Katrina about the writer(s) of Trishul, Deewar and Sholay. We all know that Salim-Javed have written these films. But did Katrina know this?

To see all of this and lot more, tune in to 'Sajid Superstars' at 2000 hrs IST, Saturday on the newly launched channel Colors!

Ajay Devgan, Salman Khan & Asin on the sets of London Dreams

2008-10-04T03:00:00.001-07:00

After basking in the success of his last film Singh is Kinng for a while, Vipul Amrutlal Shah is back to business. The producer-director is busy filming his next directorial venture London Dreams in and around the British capital.

The film stars Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan in lead roles while South sensation Asin is the female lead. Its is after almost a decade that Ajay and Salman are acting together and fans would be eagerly looking forward to see if they can recreate the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam magic all over again. As for Asin, she surely seems to be making all the right moves in Bollywood; after having worked with Aamir Khan in the forthcoming film Ghajini, she will now be seen opposite Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan in London Dreams.

Salman was not invited by Bachchans

2008-10-04T02:51:00.000-07:00

The battle lines are clearly drawn. When it comes to the Bachchans, Shah Rukh Khan clearly has an edge, Salman Khan and his family were not invited to the Drona premiere at all.
You could argue that it was deliberate that Salman is away in London and wouldn't have made it anyway. But the snub isn't missed. The invite was not even extended to his family.
Says a source, "That's true. Salman was not invited. As far as the film's makers (the Behls) were concerned no one who insults their family, gets invited to a big day in their life. The Bachchans are more than family to Goldie and Shrishti Behl."
Reasons for the miss
During the Khan Vs Khan squabble, the Sallu camp went out of their way to spread stories that SRK had made an inappropriate comment about the Bachchan bahu. But when Amitabh personally called SRK to invite him to the premiere, he made it apparent that the family didn't buy the rumours. The source continues, "Also, he isn't exactly a chum of Drona heroine, Priyanka Chopra either," says a source close to the Bachchans.
Everyone from the gregarious Karan Johar to the ultra-reclusive Sanjay Leela Bhansali showed up for this release. The Bachchans personally invited all their guests. Aishwarya, who's just back in town after shooting in Peru and France, rang up her friends from the industry and asked them to come. Sadly, her parents couldn't come because of her father's frail condition.
First appearance
Goldie Behl and his wife Sonali were seen with their little son, Ranvir. "This is his first public appearance. I wouldn't let him miss this for the world," said Goldie emotionally.
Taking a break from her sari-clad avatar, Aishwarya stood next to a tuxedo-sporting husband in a chic blue-green gown. "Good to be unpredictable, no?" she laughed and played hostess to the hilt. Laughed Abhishek, "I thought I was dressed to kill. But my wife beat me to it hollow."
While the cast, crew and family members associated with the film proceeded to the Marriott for dinner after the premiere, Shah Rukh threw an impromptu Eid party and was heard inviting all his friends at the premiere for a get-together in his home. Fatigued and tired and suffering from a bad cold on the morning after the premiere Priyanka said, "Shah Rukh did ask me to come home after the premiere. But the Drona team headed for gupshup and dinner. So naturally, I was with them."

Sajid Nadiadwala signs Brandon Routh of Superman fame for Kambakht Ishq

2008-10-03T20:04:00.000-07:00

Looks like Sajid Nadiadwala is leaving no stone unturned to make his film, Kambakht Ishq, exclusive and a treat to watch. After roping in Hollywood biggies like Slyvester Stallone and Denise Richards to play a part in his film, he has now cast Brandon Routh of Superman fame. Some very vital action scenes were picturised between Brandon and Akshay Kumar in LA, last month.
Our source from the unit said, “Brandon and Akshay had to do a stunt together, and both the actors insisted on doing the stunt themselves instead of having a body-double. Akshay plays the part of a stunt man who plays body-double to many top stars from Hollywood. In fact Brandon was surprised to note that even Bollywood stars do their own stunts.”
When contacted, Sajid spoke to us from Venice. He said, “We roped in Sylvester as we needed a Hollywood star from the generation of Rocky and Rambo, but since we needed another Hollywood star from today's generation, we thought of Brandon. We were told that he is very fastidious and does not sign any film easily. Fortunately for us, he agreed to do the film. Though it took about two months to get him on board, the wait was well worth it. We shot with him in July for about five days in LA.”
When we asked Sajid if he had paid him a huge amount, as reported, he said, “Today everybody is expensive. Forget the stars, even the film tickets are costly. I want to give my audience their money's worth. Brandon plays himself in the film and the best part was both Brandon and Akshay got along like a house on fire. It was nice to see them talking and behaving like best buddies.”

Rahul mahajan is faking it

2008-10-03T06:35:00.001-07:00

Rahul Mahajan's ex-wife Shweta Mahajan has finally broken her silence on the wannabe politico son of former BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, junking his stint in the Bigg Boss home as a piece of fine acting.
"Do you really think Rahul is the kind of a person who'd be interested in doing any household work? Most of them just pretend. Everyone seems to be very good at acting," Shweta, a pilot with a domestic airlines who divorced Rahul a couple of months ago following reports of domestic abuse, said.
"It's surprising to see that he has changed so soon. It may be because of the cameras around him all the time. As I said, everybody is there with some kind of an image. Everybody is acting and trying to clear up their mess," she said
Rahul Mahajan is currently the strongest contender on reality show Bigg Boss. He has been doing everything right from day one - from playing up to the cameras to flirting with Monica Bedi. His close bond with Payal Rohatgi was exposed when he kissed her in one of the recent episodes. Rahul knows how to grab attention - lounging in a piece of lingerie or his obsession for face creams, massage cravings, and his love-hate relationship with Raja Chaudhary.
Is this the real Rahul? The only person who knows this best is his childhood friend and ex-wife Shweta. They knew each other for 13 years when they decided to get married; but separated two months later; reports of Rahul's abusive and violent nature followed. In the latest issue of Showtime, Shweta Singh breaks her silence. She hasn't spoken about Rahul since the divorce at all; it is believed that it was a condition laid down by Rahul while granting her the divorce. In a candid interview the ex-Mrs Mahajan says, "The participants know they are under the watchful eyes of the cameras and they cannot be what they actually are. Every participant here has come with a purpose. You can only come to know a person when he or she will come out of the show."
The real Rahul
If asked if the Rahul on the show was the real deal, she answers, "He is a nice person but a little impulsive by nature. It's surprising to see that he has changed so soon. It may be because of the cameras around him all the time. As I said, everybody is there with some kind of an image. Everybody is acting and trying to clear up their mess."
We've seen Rahul and others excitedly cleaning bathrooms, washing utensils and sweeping the floor in the Bigg Boss house. Shweta believes it's all for effect. "Whether they do the same kind of work in their homes is something they only know. Everyone watching the show can easily make out that these tasks are about garnering public votes and surviving. Do you really think Rahul is the kind of a person who'd be interested in doing any household work? Most of them just pretend."
On Rahul's intimacy with Payal Rohatgi, she says, "There were media reports even during our divorce that he was going around with girls. Payal herself has said that she is in a relationship with him for the last six years, which I am completely unaware of. I have no clue whether he is going to marry Payal or not. That is their decision, which needs to be taken by them. All I can say is that right now, Rahul is completely different from what he used to be 10 years ago."

Aishwarya rai and Salman to do a movie again?

2008-10-03T06:29:00.000-07:00

Priyadarshan is planning his next project and wants Aishwarya Rai in it. Sources reveal the director plans to meet the actress next week for story narration.

Even though it isn't clear if she will agree to do the film, what's confirmed that her ex-boyfriend Salman Khan will be making a cameo in it. It is learnt that Priyan met Salman and after he heard the script, he agreed to make a friendly appearance in the film.

After getting a green signal from Salman, Priyan is now keener to get Ash to sign on the dotted line. "It's a romantic drama and the lead opposite Ash is still to be finalised. Priyan has written the role with her in mind. Even though Salman's cameo is short, the director feels it will be a highlight of the film."

It is learnt that Priyan will be upfront about Sallu's cameo to Ash, "If she agrees to do this film, then it will be the first time after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam that the ex-lovers will be seen together." Priyadarshan is travelling for the Dubai festival and will meet Ash once he returns. The project is yet untitled and the director plans to make an announcement in the coming weeks.

When contacted if he will be working with Ash, the director said, "Not to my knowledge."

Abhishek doesn't mind being overshadowed by Aishwarya

2008-10-01T21:32:00.000-07:00

Abhishek Bachchan, who is all geared up for the release of 'Drona' this week, says he doesn't mind being overshadowed by his wife Aishwarya Rai.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival attended by him and his wife, Abhishek was repeatedly asked how it felt to be overshadowed by his wife.

'Although the intention behind such questions is obviously not honourable, I don't get rattled at all. It's a pleasure to be overshadowed by the most beautiful woman in the world. I had a ball doing the 'Unforgettable' concerts with Aishwarya,' Abhishek told IANS.

After Guru, the actor is teaming up with his wife once again for Mani Ratnam's next film.

'I know I'll have a great time shooting Mani Ratnam's film with her. Right now I'm looking forward to her return from Brazil,' he said.

Aishwayra was in Brazil shooting for Shankar's Robot. Abhishek said he was looking forward to Aishwarya's presence at the premiere of 'Drona'.

'It sounds very romantic to say my wife is flying down especially to be at my film's premiere. But sadly, it is not true. Her schedule for Shankar's Robot was supposed to wrap up a week before the premiere, and it did. So she was going to be in Mumbai for the 'Drona' premiere anyway.

'Having said this, let me add, she'd have come back to Mumbai for the occasion from any part of the world even if she was shooting.'

Aishwarya was recently in Paris to shoot the latest L'Oreal ad. Both her in-laws, Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan, were also there, but they couldn't meet her.

'Yes they were there. Unfortunately ma and pa left a day before Aishwarya arrived in Paris. Pa had to be back to shoot a television programme to promote the 'Unforgettable' concerts in India.'

'Yes, the 'Unforgettable' concerts are now going to be staged in India, beginning with Mumbai.

'We're in the process of working out the venues and dates. There'll be more time for all this once Drona is released,'said Abhishek.

Directed by Goldie Behl, Drona also stars Priyanka Chopra and Kay Kay Menon.

What does these babes have in common

2008-10-01T21:24:00.000-07:00

What is common between Katrina, Dia, lisa ray, Celina jaitley and Ayesha takia

These babes would probably hate each other, but they all have something in common, apart from being super hot and sexy they are quite a special lot.

Born out of mixed parentage, these Bollywood stars get the best of both worlds. Be it half-Anglo Indian and Burmese Helen or part-Irish, part-Bengali Amla Akkineni or Mrs Nagarjuna.
Katrina Kaif

Born in Hong Kong to a British mom and Kashmiri dad, Katrina Kaif was raised in Hawaii before she came to London and dabbled with modelling.

Eventually, the Welcome beauty found her true calling in the make-believe world of Bollywood.

Celina Jaitley

The green-eyed sex symbol of Bollywood, Celina is part of the 'mixed' bandwagon as well.

While her Punjabi father served in the Indian army, Celina's mom, a child psychologist, is of Afghani descent.

Ayesha Takia

Her parentage makes for an curious cocktail. While Ayesha Takia's daddy is 100 percent Gujarati, her mom is half British and half Maharashtrian.

Despite so many languages to choose from, the Dor star prefers to converse in the Queen's tongue at home.

Lisa Ray

Her peaches 'n' cream complexion and light eyes tell stories of her European roots. But her surname 'Ray' is clearly Indian in origin. The Toronto-bred Lisa Ray is indeed half-Polish, from her mother's side, while her dad is a Bengali.

Though her work in the Oscar-nominated Water was widely appreciated, the low-profile Ray is happy doing a handful of films at a time.

Dia Mirza

There's more to Dia Mirza than her Hyderabad roots. When the former Miss Asia Pacific was six years old, her Bengali mother and German father, Frank Handrich, filed for divorce.

After the latter's demise, Dia's mom remarried and the petite actress adopted her step-dad's surname, Mirza.

Aamir Khan's Blockbuster Press Conference

2008-09-24T15:40:00.000-07:00

Aamir Khan's directorial debut 'Taare Zameen Par' has been nominated as India's official entry to the Oscars this year. Khan who was shooting for Raju Hirani's '3 Idiots' in Laddakh flew into Mumbai especially for this very special press conference. In this neatly compiled video we bring you Aamir's immediate plans for the Oscar campaign. But the juicy part of the video is Aamir's subtle potshot at Shahrukh Khan. Also, what's his take on Saif-Kareena's alleged marriage and what's his opinion on nephew Imran Khan's second film 'Kidnap' that's releasing shortly. As we said in the title, its a Blockbuster video that you wouldn't wish to miss for anything.

Bollywood wishes best of luck to Taare Zameen par

2008-09-24T11:01:00.000-07:00

Aamir Khan's acclaimed directorial debut "Taare Zameen Par" is India's official entry to the Oscars this year and many in Bollywood, including Naseeruddin Shah and Amitabh Bachchan, have sent their best wishes that it may be up there with the best in world cinema.

A snapshot of views from leading lights of the film industry:

Amitabh Bachchan: The film's prospects depend on the decision of the Oscars' jury. We can only hope for the best.

Naseeruddin Shah: I don't know about its prospects at the Oscars. But Aamir will definitely attend the ceremonies.

Shekhar Kapur: Its chances at winning the Oscar depend on what the other nominations are like. And also on the kind of support Aamir musters in Hollywood. I wish him luck and hope the film wins.

Dino Morea-Lara Dutta: We definitely think it stands a good chance. It's a good representation of contemporary Indian cinema. I hope it makes the cut.

Kunal Kapoor: It's an absolutely wonderful film and deserves to go. It's beautifully written, enacted and directed. Whether it finally wins or not would depend on the competition. I'm sure there will be wonderful films from all over the world.

Deepa Mehta: I haven't seen the film. But I've heard wonderful things about it. Aamir's dedication is indisputable. I realised what cinema means to him when we worked together in "1947 Earth". Though he was dissatisfied with his performance, I was immensely happy with what Aamir did. I wish him all the best.

Farhan Akhtar: "Taare Zameen Par" is a good film and I'm happy for Aamir. It's the culmination of his belief in good cinema. I can't predict whether it will win because I don't know what competition it's up against. But I wish Aamir luck and success.

Pritish Nandy: "I think it's a fine film and deserves to do well at the Oscars. However it's a Bollywood film and has its own unique grammar which makes it that much more difficult for an international audience to relate to.

Arshad Warsi: I don't know what its chances are. But I'm so proud of Aamir. Because of him the world is beginning to recognise Indian cinema. There's so much talent in our cinema. Aamir made the world aware of us with "Lagaan" and now "Taare Zameen Par".

Vikram Bhatt: It's a very good film and has a cause at its heart, so I think it stands a really good chance. Having said that, there's plenty of lobbying to be done to get there. And Aamir knows it.

Kay Kay Menon: It is a wonderful film and worthy of being at the Oscars.
