Bollywood Gossip - Priyanka is sexy girl next door
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Tarun Mansukhani is mighty pleased with the kind of response he is getting for the bodies that Bollywood Actors
John Abraham and
Priyanka Chopra have acquired for Bollywood Movie
DOSTANA. Accolodes have been coming in from all quarters as both John and Priyanka ignite the heat in their pursuit for acquiring best bodies in the town.
"While John has worked hard on his
physique and made sure that heads (belonging to both women and men) turn around him wherever he goes, I am not surprised since he seems to have been born with a six pack abs.
What amazes me though is the strange body that Priyanka Chopra has", says Tarun Mansukhani, debutant director who is beginning his innings with this Karan Johar production.
How exactly?
"Well, she eats so much and doesn't even work out much. Still, she manages to hold her figure. I guess it's her metabolism that allows her to be this way. With DOSTANA, she could well be termed as a sexy girl next door", smiles Tarun.
Abhishek seems to be just the same though as in all his films, isn't it?
"In fact Abhi too has gone through some transformation as he was still working on DRONA when
DOSTANA began. He was in fact the fittest since even when John would be tired, he would push him to get back on his feet and face the camera", reveals Tarun.
But he doesn't seem to be flaunting his body the way John is in the film. Why is that case?
Defends Tarun, "See the film and you would know for yourself. The kind of body type that he is carrying is something like is required for the character. It is truly in conjunction with the film. In any case, Abhi is a completely changed person for DOSTANA and is looking really fantastic." - Joginder Tuteja

Bollywood News - Abhi, John Sizzle Together
Bollywood News : Bollywood Actors
Abhishek Bachchan and
John Abraham's jodi may soon give the
Bipasha Basu and John jodi competition. Watching the promos, one can feel the chemistry that's brewing between these two guys.
In fact, in Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana, there is a sequence where Kiron Kher's character dreams that the two are a gay couple. There is even a song to go along with that Maa Da Laadla. In fact, Kiron's character even supposedly imagine them getting married to each other, with John as the groom and
Abhishek as the bride. But jokes apart, the two actors share a terrific rapport on screen and it is just a reflection of the comfort level that they share personally. Obviously, the shooting schedule in Miami, gave them enough time to bond with each other. Also, stylistically speaking, they seem to complement each other Abhi with his laid back style and Bollywood Actor John with his pumped up look. So quite the perfect couple one would say. Incidentally, the song, Maa da Laadla has a remixed version as well which will appear in the end.

Shah Rukh Khan's Fantasy is finally coming true
Monday, November 10, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : It's been
Shah Rukh Khan's ardent wish to do at one big FX-driven film that his son can embrace as the desi Spiderman.
Well, now Aryan has reason to rejoice.
Work is on to start India's most spectacular F-X film to be directed by Anubhav (Dus) Sinha.
Though Anubhav refuses to comment on the progress of this epic project it's reliably learnt that the film is to be titled Ra.One. And the title was suggested by
Shah Rukh Khan himself.
"In fact Shah Rukh is taking very very keen interest in the scripting of Ra.One. And the director Anubhav Sinha would like
Shah Rukh to be credited as a screenwriter for the project, if and when SRK's production house Red Chillies actually sets down to make this ambitious sci-fi thriller, " informs a source.
In the meanwhile reports that Shah Rukh would be starring in another F-X-driven fantasy directed by Santosh Sivan has Sivan puzzled.
"Right now I'm still scripting the fantasy film. And the screenplay is a long way from being completed. So how can I be thinking of casting? And I'm not doing a film with Shah Rukh at all."
As things stand Ra.One will be Shah Rukh's first and only fantasy-driven film.
Though when it would take off would depend on when he completes his current projects Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Banayi Jodi to be followed by Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan."
Says a source. "In fact these two projects are Shah Rukh's immediate and complete priority right now. He was supposed to start Karan's film earlier this year. But Karan allowed Adi to take his hero's dates and cameraman (Ravi Chandran).
Now Shah Rukh will complete Karan's film. Only then will he think of the FX film with Anubhav. That in any case, requires tremendous preparation."

Bollywood Gossip - Himesh all set for a Break
Monday, October 27, 2008
Bollywood Gossip - Himesh Reshammiya is all set to take a break and go on a holiday with his family. After the release of Karzzzz, the actor singer composer feels that it is high time he gave himself a break. So it's off to Europe for him with his family.
Himesh says that he has been working non stop for the last five years with hardly a break. He probably feels that it is the right time for him to go on a break as he has already managed to climb quite a few mountains in his career. First, it was just as a composer and a nasal voiced singer, and now he is also playing the leading man. He has had two releases and there are quite a few other films which will be seeing the light of day soon. One of them is Pooja Bhatt's Kajraare, then there is Mudd ke Na Dekh Mudd Mudd Ke, A New Love Ishtorey and Hhey Gujju. Even though he is everyone's favourite flogging horse, the guy is swamped with work. Himesh isn't really going anywhere. He is definitely here to stay for a while.

Bollywood News - Tusshar Turns Stylist for Makeover Guru Aalim
Bollywood News : Tusshar Kapoor, who plays the character of a mute hair dresser in his upcoming film 'Golmaal Returns' directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. was recently seen in Hakim's Aalim styling celebrity hair stylist Aalim's hair in role reversal of sorts!!!
Aalim took over Tusshar's hair giving it a funky and stylized look after which Tusshar then took over and went snipping Aalim's hair for which Aalim willingly obliged! Tusshar even handed out a few tips on the techniques used by hair dressers!
Tusshar had prepared for the role by observing Aalim at work. He noticed the way Aalim held the scissors and the cape and set about doing everything.
Says Aalim, "There is a lot of character and style in a hair dresser which Tusshar has successfully incorporated into his character. A successful hair dresser has a sense of humour and personality which Tusshar has essayed very well. Im glad there is someone who is finally playing a hair dresser's role in Bollywood. It's Bollywood's answer to Zohan!!!"
Tusshar who happily snipped away Aalim's hair, admired the way how poised and chilled out Aalim was with his customers and tried to bring out the very same in his role. Always fascinated by the way Aalim constantly changes his own style, Tusshar incorporated the same in the film too for which he sports a different look in the song, and he keeps changing his hair style every couple of scenes.
Says Tusshar, "Im practically playing Aalim in the film. I've copied his style, his look and even have a tattoo of a bird on my arm like Aalim!!! I think Aalim is a great hair stylist and he's a great human being also, and of course he's the best for the stars! "

Bollywood Gossip - Golmaal series to continue
Thursday, October 16, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Director Rohit Shetty waits with bated breath for the response to GOLMAAL RETURNS. "It's bigger, it's better, it's much more entertaining than GOLMAAL," he says of his new film.
Not many are aware, the sequel to GOLMAAL happened by chance. "I was working on an altogether different story; it was meant to take off from where the first part ended. But I realized that it was getting boring. I wasn't enjoying writing it. Around that time Yunus Sajawal bounced off an entirely new story of four guys and four girls. When I read the script, I realized that it could easily pass off as the sequel to GOLMAAL. And when I narrated the plotline to Rajbhai Mehta [of Ashtavinayak] and also Ajay [Devgan], they jumped at it. That gave me the impetus to go ahead with the sequel," Rohit recalls.
Rohit is confident that he'll continue with the GOLMAAL series. But before making the next instalment of this laughathon, Rohit is working on an altogether different project -- this time with Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi. "I haven't signed either Baba [Sanju] or Arshad. Nor have I made them listen to the script. It was a casual conversation with Sanju and the next thing you know, the media has already made the announcement. There's nothing official about this project yet," he clarifies.

Bollywood Gossip - Salman Khan bowls over Priety Zinta
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Turban is in. Turban is king! This seems to be the trend this season in Bollywood. After Akshay 'King' Kumar made it look ube
r-cool, every actor is apparently vying to wear it as it were the new crown!
No wonder then,
Salman Khan has hopped on to the pagdi bandwagon as well, and his co-star
Preity Zinta just can't stop raving about his Sikh look in their forthcoming release Heroes.
"We have worked together earlier, but I had never complimented him before. But Salman's Sikh look swept me off my feet," said Preity. "This is the first time that my male co-star's looks made me go completely in awe of him. Salman plays a Punjabi in the film and every time I saw him in his get-up, I'd go - 'Wow! You look so good, Salman!" added the actress.
In the past, Salman Khan and Preity Zinta have worked together in films like Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke and Jaan-e-mann but most of them bombed at the box office.
Besides Salman, Saif is also donning the turban look in his yet to be titled home production directed by Imtiaz Ali. The film pairs Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone for the first time.

As long as I am offered challenging roles, I would like to take them and experiment with acting always."Amitabh was here with his team of The Last Lear including actors Arjun Rampal, Shefali Shah and Divya Dutta, director Rituparno Ghosh and producer Arindam Chaudhuri to promote the film last week.Though Preity Zinta plays a pivotal role in the film, she gave the event a miss, as she was busy shooting for a film abroad.

Bollywood Gossip - Ranbir chooses Bipasha over Deepika
Bollywood Gossip : If you thought love makes a man blind, think again. Neither his fondness for
Deepika Padukone nor her place atop Maxim magazine's Hot 100 list can convince Ranbir Kapoor that she is Bollywood's most explosive bombshell. That singular honour, he feels, belongs to
Bipasha Basu.
"I think Bipasha is the sexiest actress in the film industry and for me she will remain the sexiest for another 50 years to come. After working with her in Bachna Ae Haseeno, I realise why she's often described as Bollywood's ultimate sex symbol. I can't think of any other girl who deserves the title more than her," he says.
Ranbir is not deterred by the thought of offending his two Bachna Ae Haseeno co-stars Deepika and Minissha Lamba. Though the dashing young actor insists he enjoyed working with all three leading ladies and stole their hearts, he has no intention of reconsidering his choice. "Even when I compare the three of them, Bipasha is still the sexiest," he says.
According to Ranbir: "Bachna Ae Haseeno is an excellent film and I enjoyed the company of all three girls. We were comfortable working with each other and I hope that the film will really do well at the box office."
Although his debut film failed to set the cash registers ringing, Ranbir hopes for better luck this time. "I remember my nervousness when Saawariya was released. I have the same feeling once again. I guess it happens with most actors. And since I am a newcomer in the industry, I feel even more pressure at the time of a film's release," he admits.

Bollywood Gossip - SRK to give up smoking?
Bollywood Gossip : Health Minister A Ramadoss may finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Shah Rukh Khan has decided to give up smoking.
"I am planning to quit smoking for the sake of my children, who hate to see me smoke,"
Shah Rukh Khan said, in an interview to the Malayalam daily, Malayalam Manorma. "It is a blessing in disguise and I will quit smoking in the next two months," he added.
SRK's smoking had become a kind of war between him and the Health Minister.
Ramadoss had often stated that
Shah Rukh's habit of smoking publically set up a bad precedent for youngsters. But the actor did not stop.
"I am sure Mr Ramadoss will be very happy to hear this news,"
Shah Rukh Khan told the Malayalam newspaper.
The interview was conducted at Pollachi in Tamil Nadu where
SRK is shooting for Billo Barber, directed by Priyadarshan. The film's Tamil version, Kuselan and Telugu version Kathanayakudu -- both starring Rajnikanth -- released last week.
"I started smoking when I was 22. For the last 20 years, I have been a smoker,"
SRK said.
"The idea of quitting propped up during a 17-hour flight," SRK explained. The actor could not smoke on the flight, and did not even feel the urge. "So if I can do without smoking in flight, I am sure I can do without it on land too," he said.
But this is not the first time
Shah Rukh Khan has promised to quit smoking

Bollywood Gossip : Sikh priests to examine Singh is Kinng
Monday, August 4, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : The Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) Monday formed a three-member committee to screen Akshay
Kumar starrer
Singh is Kinng to see if there Sikhs have been portrayed negatively in the film.
We have formed a three-member committee of experts that will see the movie and based on their feedback further action will be taken, DSGMC president Paramjit Singh Sarna told agencies. The film is slated for release next Friday.
The DSGMC had sought a ban on the movie last Friday for allegedly ridiculing the Sikh community and wrote a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit asking her to ban the film in the national capital, despite the announcement by the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), the apex religious body of the Sikhs, that it was up to the audiences to decide if they wanted to watch the film.
The DSGMC committee has two granthis (priests) Harnam Singh and Surinder Singh and Khalsa college professor Harmeet Singh, an expert on Sikh history.
Various Sikh organisations have voiced their concerns over the film, which is slated for release next Friday.
Sarna said: "The film's promos showed a Sikh character wearing a turban, while sporting a French cut. This is not a positive Sikh image. The screening should not be allowed until its makers make changes in the portrayal of Sikh character."

Darsheel Safary offered Rs. 75 lakhs?
Friday, July 25, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Ever since Darsheel Safary became the youngest
star of Bollywood to get nominated for the best actor award, there has been much speculation about which film he would do next. What's more, his going price is apparently Rs.75 lakhs (7.5 million)!
After the release of 'Taare Zameen Par', the young actor's parents were very sure that the boy would now concentrate on his studies and go back to his normal life. But then the offers got more and more lucrative.
And one tempting offer came to work with Sanjay Dutt. To be produced by Suniel Shetty's Popcorn Entertainment, the film proposes to bring Sanjay and Darsheel together in the film titled 'Dedh' (one-and-a-half). The comedy is to be directed by Aswani Dheer, who made 'One Two Three'.
"Sanjay is final for the project. We need to work out the dates. As for the boy, yes we do want Darsheel and are trying for him. Let's see," Dheer told us.
Said an inside source: "See, the Sanjay Dutt film with another kid is just one more film. But Sanjay and Darsheel - that rocks!"

"Jaane Tu..." rakes in Rs.150 mn first week!
Saturday, July 19, 2008
Bollywood News Mumbai, July 18 (IANS) : Romantic flick "
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" has broken the dry spell at the box-office, grossing nearly Rs.150 million in the first week of its release.
This revenue figure could be because of the high-ticket prices in the multiplexes but it is nonetheless a windfall for a movie starring mostly newcomers.
A joint venture of Aamir Khan Productions and PVR Cinema, the film is Aamir's nephew Imran's debut vehicle.
Even for Genelia D'Souza, who earlier appeared in three Hindi movies, "Jaane Tu..." is her first Bollywood hit in a leading role.
The movie's whopping success has firmly consolidated her position in the industry, shadowing her rising career down South.
Incidentally, the box-office dominance of "Jaane Tu..." has created worries for producers whose movies are due for release.
Last week, producer Jagdish Sharma's "Good Luck" and director Mani Shankar's "Mukhbiir" could not be released in many of the multiplexes as the management suddenly increased the additional screens available there for "Jaane Tu..." keeping public demand for the movie

Bollywood Gossip - Akshay Kumar jumps off Bangkok’s tallest building
Friday, June 27, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Could there ever be a better host for the Indian version of 'Fear Factor' than Akshay Kumar, the Bollywood synonym for daredevilry?
Akki flew to Bangkok, the city that taught him a few lessons in Oriental Cuisine, to show Thailand what he had learnt in Bollywood. He jumped off the tallest skyscraper of the city, and skated all the way down through thin air!
This Khiladi stunt was caught on camera and will be part of the promotional film on the Indian version of ‘Fear Factor’, to be aired on COLORS TV, premiering in July 2008. Shot on the lines of a Bollywood movie trailer, the promo flick gives a foretaste of what is to hit the small screen as ‘Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi’.
Says Akshay: “With something as crazy and exciting like ‘Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi’ you have got to start at Bangkok. I truly enjoyed being on skate board, straddled between two of the tallest buildings in Thailand - just to give a preview of the show to my viewers. It sounds easy on paper, just take a look for yourself and enjoy the ride with me. You don’t have to be a daredevil to enjoy this show - it’s packed with me of course, but also with love, friendships, deadly stunts and a lot of fun.”
Rameet Arora, Marketing Head, COLORS, says, “This film for ‘Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi’ represents drama that will be unmistakably different. Setting the tone for a ‘never seen before’ campaign, you can look forward to a unique synergy between Bollywood and television. And that too, with India’s favourite action hero & television entertainment. It’s an un-missable start.”
‘Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi’ takes the game show to the highest level of physical and mental challenge, making it more gritty and edgy than ever before. Another attraction of ‘FEAR FACTOR - Khatron ke Khiladi’ is going to be the 13 Bollywood beauties, who’ll compete with each other, to be the last-lass-standing: Yaana Gupta, Aditi Govtrikar, Pooja Bedi, Sonali Kulkarni, Anita Hasnandani, Meghna Naidu, Tapur Chatterjee, Tupur Chatterjee, Nethra Raghuraman, Anjana Sukhani, Dipannita Sharma, Vidya Malvade and Urvashi Sharma. The show will be shot entirely in South Africa, over a period of one month and is being produced by Endemol India, one of India’s finest production houses.

Bollywood Gossip - Kajol's yes to Shah Rukh Khan
Tuesday, June 17, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Bollywood Actress
Kajol has finally agreed to do Karan Johar's next titled 'My Name Is Khan' and feature as Shah Rukh Khan's wife in the film about an Indian couple living in
the US.
The two were last seen as couple in Karan's 2001 family saga 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'.
When the media reported the news of her being considered for the role in 'My Name Is Khan' early last month, the straightforward actress had retorted by saying that without reading the script she would not give consent to work in a movie even made by her husband, leave alone Karan Johar or anybody else.
According to a source close to the production house, soon after that she went on a holiday with her family and there was a lull on 'My Name Is Khan' front. Now it is learnt that she has given the green signal to the movie to be directed by Karan.
Though the movie is scheduled to be launched in December, a buzz has already started that Karan has a winner in his. Not only because it has a hit pair heading the cast, but also because the composer trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, has scored some "outstanding" tunes for the movie.
Those who have heard some of the tunes composed with dummy lyrics say that one of the highlights of 'My Name Is Khan' will certainly be its music, as it always is in a Karan Johar production.
The launch of 'My Name is Khan' has been deferred till December because at present Karan is busy with Dharma Productions' other movies, including Bollywood Actors
Abhishek Bachchan,
Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham starrer 'Dostana'. The film is due for release later this year.
Karan is also planning to launch his erstwhile assistant Ayaan as a full-fledged director. Incidentally, Ayaan is Kajol's first cousin.

Bollywood Gossip - When Abhishek talked about sex
Monday, May 26, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Abhishek Bachchan has an amzing sense of humour.
On the sets of Sarkar Raj, when Ramu told little B to speak to villagers convincingly about any subject, while the actual dialogue would be dubbed later in the recording studio, he chose to talk about sex.
As soon as the director called ‘action’, Abhi began to give some sex education to the villagers. He spoke about the process of reproduction, the safety measures and also different positions of making out.
All was well until the villagers, who were instructed to look serious, started laughing aloud when they finally understood what Abhishek was telling them. They all tried hard not to laugh.
Ramu, who was at a distance, didn't know what was going on and why everybody was suddenly laughing when they were not supposed to. He immediately called 'Cut' and walked up to them.
That’s when Ramu realized that Abhishek is in his jocular mood again.

Bollywood Gossip - Meri aunty ke hoth gulabi hain
Bollywood Gossip : Log kahte hain ki meri aunty ke gaal chamakdaar hain...Lekin main kahta hoon ki meri aunty ki muskaan mazedaar hai...
Log kahte hain, ki meri aunty badi cool hain.. Lekin main
kahta hoon, ki meri aunty toh gulaab ka phool hain...
Inki baaten itni meethi jaisa sandesh hai...Yeh dil se hain bholi...lekin dimag se Paanchvi Paas se tez hain"
Amazed at Shah Rukh's poetry, she begins the game of answering questions from the first to the fifth grade. How far does she go in winning the prize money of Rs 5 crores?
It's time for another contestant and once again, it's a lady from Kolkatta. Thirty-three-year-old Rumana Saif is an administration executive. As she takes the challenge to face the simple yet tricky questions from first to fifth grade, Shah Rukh comments that the buzz is around 'Kareena Saif', but Rumana Saif is something which he had never heard before.
Shah Rukh is at his humorous best and makes Rumana feel really special and flirts with her. Rumana, an ardent fan of Shah Rukh, can't believe that she is standing so close to her dream man. She bends forward to touch him to believe if its indeed reality or a dream.
Rumana reveals her story of having been through an unsuccessful marriage and her hardships being a single parent.
Rumana wishes to buy her son all the luxuries in life with the prize money she earns. The episode gets emotional as she completely breaks down as she narrates her life's story in front of
Shah Rukh.
But its minutes before
Shah Rukh entertains her and makes her forget her pain as she takes the test. He plays the chirpy track 'Pretty Woman' which lights up Rumana's face with joy!

Bollywood Gossip - Punishment SMS from Shah Rukh Khan
Friday, May 23, 2008
New Delhi, May 21: The Kolkata Knight Riders owner, Shah Rukh Khan, may not attend the team’s next (and last) match at home, against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday, too. He was not present at the Eden last night either.
Shah Rukh has, among other things, conveyed that to the team via an emotional, highly motivational and lengthy SMS this afternoon. He also dismissed talk of differences between him and captain Sourav Ganguly and coach John Buchanan.
The team is in the capital for tomorrow’s Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against the Delhi DareDevils.
The following is the SMS, forwarded to The Telegraph by a member of the Knight Riders squad:
“Story time boys... I told you if you keep losing you have to bear with my long, boring msgs.... This is your punishment.... Many times I have made movies which don’t do well.... When I’m doing them, of course, I don’t know they won’t do well.... The story is written by somebody else and I just do my bit as an actor. But I have a way of dealing with flop stories..., I try my best to keep my character in the film at a level that it makes a failed story also special for me....
“I enjoy the work.... I make jokes about the failure.... And, of course, feel awful about it too.... So, right now, all of us have become part of a failed script... A bad IPL script.... Let’s try and keep our characters worthy of still looking back at this story and remembering it as a special story becos we all worked very hard at this....
“So, chin up and don’t spoil yr character in the next two games.... Let’s go out with a bang and not a whimper.... In films, we say u r only as good as yr last film.... So let’s make the whole world know how good we r in the last (maybe not) two games...
“Also, do ignore all this bit about Dada, me and John having issues.... It’s a normal thing in the world.... People like to hit you when u r down.... So, we will be hit.... No stress.... It will make us stronger.... The only way to avoid this is to win.... That’s one of the reasons why everybody likes to be a winner....
“On the other hand, the beauty of failure is that it brings people together.... So, let’s stick this out together.... You know me well enuff to know I am not the kind of owner who has issues with the team ’cos of losses... I am too much of a sport myself to get beaten by defeats.... Like you guys are.... Like Dada and John....
“I am still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of me at the matches of the IPL.... ICC... Etc.... After I understand it, I will decide whether to accept it or not.... Till such time, I will be with you guys at the hotel... in the meetings etc., but won’t come for the matches.... So, please don’t ever feel it is anything to do with us as a team....
“I am as dedicated to my Knights as I am to my kids.... Only, I won’t be coming to the class room till the headmaster’s rules are understood by me.... I am a bit anti-Establishment kind of a guy, so I apologise for this quirk to u all.... So, head’s up.... Have a good match and let’s make 200 runs tomorrow.... This 150 seems to not work any more....
“We have nothing to lose now, except our character.... Let’s not lose that.... Lov... SRK.”

Bollywood Gossip - "I'm not playing Mujibur Rahman" says Amitabh Bachchan
Monday, May 5, 2008
Exclusive Bollywood Gossip : A report in a section of the press stating that Bollywood Actor
Amitabh Bachchan would be playing the role of Bangladesh's founding father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has the mega-star completely stumped, puzzled, and amused.
"I've no idea what all this is about. Lots of media persons have been calling since yesterday. I can't say where and how this report originated from. But it is not true," said the Big B from London on Saturday morning just before he boarded his flight back to Mumbai. Not only does the report state with absolute authority that the Big B plays Mujbir Rahman, it also quotes the film's producer as saying that the rest of the Bachchan clan,
Abhishek and
Aishwarya, will also feature in this bio-pic.
Continues the Big B, "I've no clue about this. There's nothing to it. At least not as far as I'm concerned. I'm hearing all this talk about this film for the first time." This isn't the first time that producers have made premature or unfounded announcements about the Big B's presence in a project. But it would have been interesting to watch him play a historical character. In all these years of superstardom, the Big B has never played a biographic figure. The closest he came to it was in Ram Gopal Varma's
Sarkar where his role had shades of Bal Thackeray.

Bollywood Gossip - Ranbir to perform on Bachna Ae Haseeno
Bollywood Gossip : By now its common knowledge that Ranbir Kapoor's next release
Bachna Ae Haseeno directed by Siddharth Raj Anand borrows its title from his father Rishi Kapoor's evergreen number from
Hum Kisise Kum Nahin. But now the latest heartthrob will even move his feet to a song called
Bachna Ae Haseeno for the film.
Choreographer Ahmed Khan who would be choreographing the Saawariya lad in this film says, “Yes, we are having a song called '
Bachna Ae Haseeno' and it will feature Ranbir along with the 3 girls- Bipasha, Deepika and Minissha. It will be mainly used as promotional number for the film. Since Rishi-ji's number is still a cult hit, they decided to have Ranbir also perform to a song which has similar lyrics. Vishal and Shekhar have composed the music for the song,” he adds.
So how has been the experience shooting with tinsel-town's latest pin-up boy, “It has been great. I shot a song with him in Mumbai at Yashraj studios. It's a commercial Indian song which we did. He is a brilliant dancer. In
Saawariya, baring a number or two, he didn't really get much of a chance to showcase his dancing skills but he has got that rhythm in his genes. His father and uncle Shammi-ji have all been brilliant dancers and even Ranbir has his own style. I would be going to Switzerland and Venice now to finish 3 songs for the film and after we return we would shoot the '
Bachna Ae Haseeno' number,” says the choreographer-turned-director.
We also asked Ahmed on the status of his next film
Paathshala, “The post-production is currently on. We would start the dubbing of the film sometime next month. We are planning a Children's Day release (Nov 14th) so we have ample amount of time on our hands”, he smiles.
Meanwhile Ahmed's wife Shaira Khan who turns producer with
Paathshala is already planning her next project, “Yes, her next film is about what goes on in a girl's heart. It is essentially a journey through a girl's heart and what do girls want from guys and all that stuff etc. The film is a light, fun film on the lines of Drew Barrymore, Meg Ryan, Adam Sandler's kind of flicks. The film would star one girl and three guys. We would be finalizing the names within a fortnight or so,” reveals Ahmed.
With choreographing, direction and now production, Ahmed surely has his hands full.

Bollywood Gossip - Abhi-Ash to celebrate wedding anniversary in Miami
Monday, April 14, 2008
Bollywood News : Bollywood Actors
Abhishek Bachchan and
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be in Miami for their first wedding anniversary next week. Not that they planned so. 'It just happened,' says Amitabh Bachchan.
'Abhishek is shooting in Miami for 'Dostana' on their marriage anniversary. And
Aishwarya is
going to be with him,' said Amitabh Bachchan.
'We'll get them by a new technology called skyscape to speak from Miami to mediapersons in Mumbai at the launch of
Sarkar Raj - which happens to be on the same evening as their wedding anniversary,' he said.
'Sarkar Raj' director Ram Gopal Verma says it was just a coincidence that the unveiling of his film will take place the same day.
'I didn't even remember it was
Abhishek and Aishwarya's wedding anniversary on April 20. We decided to do the First Look party of
Sarkar Raj on this day because it was six weeks before the release,' said Ram Gopal Verma
'It's just a coincidence. I don't keep track of anyone's birthdays and anniversaries, not even mine.'
Ramu is excited about something else too. 'This is the first time the actors of an Indian film will be connected to the media via satellite. We're doing it through a technology known as skyscape. I think it's very exciting to reach out by modern technology in this way. Aishwarya and
Abhishek will be live from Miami in Mumbai.'
However, Big B will be present at the Mumbai event.
Tell Ramu that the
Sarkar Raj event will be eclipsed by the excitement over its lead pair's wedding anniversary, and he shrugs.
'It doesn't matter. We cannot separate
Abhishek and
Aishwarya's life from
Sarkar Raj. Very soon after the First-Look event we'll have the music release. T-Series is releasing the music soundtrack.'

Bollywood Gossip - My conscience is clear says Rakesh Roshan
Sunday, April 13, 2008
Bollywood Gossips : Krazzy 4 producer Rakesh Roshan says that his conscience is clear on the allegation of plagiarism levelled by jingle composer Ram Sampath on a song from the movie. He said he has paid Rs 20 million to Sampath to include the song in the film that released Friday.
Roshan says that it was only towards the end of March that he learnt that the tune for which he was dragged to court belongs to Sampath and not Sony-Ericsson.
"We took a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sony-Ericsson and they gave me a letter of consent. I went about this the right way.
"My conscience is clear. Towards the end of March I was told the tune belongs to Ram Sampath and not Sony-Ericsson. Not in my wildest dreams could I doubt the company's intentions," Roshan told IANS.
He said. "I was misinformed. I was in a crisis situation and had no choice but to pay up the Rs 2 crores (Rs.20 million) that was asked of me."
"I'd like to ask Ram Sampath one thing. If his tune was the same as the one in
Krazzy 4 wouldn't it have been an equally big hit when it was played as part of the cell phone ad campaign? That too had
Hrithik dancing in it... Yes, the main hook line is the same," he added.
"And if Ram Sampath sensed an irregularity why did he wait until my film's release was around the corner? He could have come to me when the film's music released at the end of February and made his claim. Why wait for the last minute when the film was about to be released?
"I suspect they were preparing their case for very long. On Monday, I was suddenly faced with this crisis. What could I do but pay up?"
Rakesh clears his brother composer Rajesh Roshan's name. "Let me state my brother Rajesh Roshan had no hand in this. I told Rajesh to use that portion of the song. He asked me to take a NOC, which I did."
"We don't have to stoop as low as to cheat anyone. If the prints of the film hadn't been sent off, I could've cut the song. But I cannot betray my distributors and audiences. I've a massive responsibility towards them. I could do nothing but go for a settlement. I had to pay Rs.2 crores (Rs.20 million)."
"What to do? I'm not angry or upset. It just hurts me that I was subjected to this for no fault of mine. One thing is for sure. The doors have opened now to anyone who wants make a claim over anyone's work. Fortunately
Krazzy 4 has opened very well," said Roshan.

Bollywood Gossips - Roshans in Trouble!!
Saturday, April 12, 2008
Bollywood Gossips : The worst has struck Roshans. Music composer Ram Sampath, who moved court asking for Rs 2 crore as damages from the Krazzy 4 producers for copying his tune to compose four tracks, has won the legal battle today.
Giving its verdict on an appeal filed by 32-year-old ad jingle music composer, the Mumbai High Court has ordered the Roshans to remove the title track ‘Krazzy 4’, before it hits cinema theatres tomorrow.
Sampath, had stated in his appeal that the Roshans copied his 60-second music titled ‘The Thump’. The young composer had created the title for a mobile phone television advertisement last year and the Roshans had used the same tone in the title track of their upcoming flick ‘Krazzy 4’ without his consent.
Apparantly Roshans know that the stakes are too hish and their desperation was evident in court. Within hours of offering Rs 2 lakh per month to Sampath as ad-interim relief, the offer was raised to Rs 25 lakh and then “any amount that the court thinks appropriate”.
In the meanwhile the court instructed the Roshans to delete two songs if they want to release the film tomorrow.
"To my untrained ear, the music appeared to be similar", Justice Karnik, who listened to both Sampath's work for a Sony Ericsson cellphone advertisement, and the two songs composed by Rajesh Roshan for the film, said.
This means that Hrithik and SRK's Break Free item numbers will have to be removed from the film, which seems like a daunting task as the film prints have already been dispatchedfor the overseas release, as well as territories outside Mumbai.
Though Roshans’ lawyer Arif Bookwala pleaded the court not to stay the release of the film on Friday, Sampath’s lawyer Virendra Tulzapurkar said that mere monetary compensation would not suffice. “The SMS-s sent by
Hrithik establish that they knew the music was not created by them. They have done this knowingly and deliberately.”
He added that his client was a “small time artiste” and needed to be protected when his work was plagiarised by such “big people”.
He also presented the opinion of Shiv Mathur, an independent expert, who confirmed Sampath’s allegation of plagiarism. Tulzapurkar added that the defendants were earning Rs 7 crore per month simply from ringtone downloads and Rs 2.5 crore per month from the sale of the music.
But Roshans' woes don't end here. We hear that their Krazzy 4 is a straight copy of the Hollywood film The Dream Team.
The posters of the two movies are similar and both the films are about four mentally unstable men and how they get out of a mental asylum to figure out that the outer world is as crazy as them.
In his defense, director of the film Jaideep Sen said that the similarity in the films is “sheer coincidence.”

Bollywood Gossip - Vivek gets slapped after trying to kiss a girl
Monday, April 7, 2008
Bollywood Gossips : Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi got the slap of his life when a female guest decided to teach the flirt a lesson in respect.
Says an eyewitness present, “Last week, Vivek and his Mission Istanbul director Apoorva Lakhia were at a common friend’s party in Bandra. They’d been shooting continuously for 10 days at Madhusudhan Mills and this was a welcome break. After a few drinks, Vivek started flirting with the host’s girlfriend, a foreigner. At first, she politely ignored his overtures but then, he kissed her. She replied with a resounding slap.”
Apoorva then tried to intervene but was unable to stop a scuffle from happening. After a lengthy and heated few minutes, Apoorva dragged Vivek out of the place and drove him home.
The morning after, Vivek showed no repentance. The source says, “Everyone thought Vivek would apologise for his boorish behaviour. Surprisingly, four days have passed and Vivek still behaves as if the incident wasn’t his fault. Apu has sworn not to go with Vivek to any party again.”

Bollywood actress
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has declined to co star with Hollywood wonder boy Will Smith in his forthcoming flick 'Tonight He Comes', a super hero flick now renamed 'John Hancock'.

Aishwarya "has this powerful energy and doesn’t have to say anything, or do anything, she can just stand there. Anything she’s making, I’ll be there."
According to
Aishwarya, she turned down the offer because of her tight schedule, while reports suggest that she declined the film to celebrate Karwa Chauth in Mumbai.

Karzzzz in South Africa can't stop praising his two stars. "They're such professionals and so clued in to the technicalities of cinema. I was amazed by Himesh's ability to deliver long dialogues with the right pauses for breath and punctuation. This rhythm in the speech patterns is generally lacking in our film actors. The last time I saw an actor convey the same rhythm in speech was that other singer-actor Kishore Kumar."
As for Urmila, "The last time I worked with her was when I was assisting Shekhar Kapoor for
Masoom. She was just a child then. In-between we were supposed to do a full-on masala film called
Bus Conductor. But she opted out. Now for
Karzzzz, she's so passionately involved."

Bollywood Gossip - Has Katrina Kaif dumped Salman?
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Bollywood Gossips - Bollywood Actress
Katrina Kaif finally seems to be getting away from
Salman's shadow. The year 2007 was indeed special for Katrina as she is the only actress to achieve four back-to-back successes in the year in Namastey London, Apne, Partner and Welcome.
Today she has become the highest paid item girl in the industry paid a whopping 1.5 crore to shimmy in Shree Ashtavinayak’s next film Blue.
The film stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta in lead roles.
We hear, when the production house asked her to do an item number,
Kaif initially refused, as she doesn’t want the label of an item girl.
But when the makers agreed to pay her a 1.5 crore fee and offered a few more scenes, the actress accepted.
However, Balaji people were not that lucky. When they approached
Katrina to do an item number for their next, C Company, the actress flatly turned it down. Money, of course, was the bone of contention. Balaji was not willing to shell out that kind of money.
But being an item with a fat pay cheque is not what she all wants, she wants to share space with someone like Hrithik.
“I don’t know if I would get an opportunity to work with him so early in my career, but he is one actor I would love to work with, no questions asked," she tells.
"The way he put his heart and soul into the character of Akbar left me speechless. I'm looking forward to working with
Hrithik sometime soon.”
Of course, she is also in for an image makeover, so it is bye bye girl next doot and hello sexy siren phase for Katrina.
But this change is not just confined to her professional life. She is also delibrately distancing herself from
Salman.
So when someone from media asked her
Salman Khan and his ongoing flings with Brazilian supermodel Bruna Abdalah and Mahek Chahal Kat just pounced on the poor guy saying," You know, you guys need to learn that when someone is standing before you, you have to treat that person with respect."
"It's a ridiculous question, ridiculous. You guys need to learn to draw the line," she added before walking away in a huff.

First Look: SRK's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'
Monday, March 24, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : The first look of Aditya Chopra -
Shahrukh Khan blockbuster combo 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' is a studio still since the movie is yet to start. As is apparent it is mint fresh and oozing with youthful buoyancy. The king spins the world on his finger while that dimpled smile raises indescribable emotions in millions of hearts. Don't be surprised if new box office records are created this year once it is released on December 12.
The wait is over. Eight years after he last directed a film, Aditya Chopra is back helming a Yash Raj Films production. Even as his directorial debut ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ continues its record breaking run in its 13th year, Aditya is ready to direct his third film.
After directing his second film, ‘Mohabbatein’, back in 2000, Aditya had taken a conscious break from direction to set up and develop India's first studio model making Yash Raj Films a name to reckon with. In the years that followed, YRF, under the keen eye of Aditya, produced such blockbusters as ‘Dhoom’, ‘Dhoom 2’, ‘Hum Tum’, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, ‘Salaam Namaste’, ‘Fanaa’ and ‘Chak De India’. While Aditya was the creative producer in all these films, he also kept up with his creative juices by writing his father Yash Chopra's directorial venture ‘Veer-Zaara’ in 2004, and the stories of other films.
Aditya’s third directorial venture would be titled ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ that would star the formidable Shah Rukh Khan... indeed the jodi of Adi and
SRK would once again be a treat for film audiences the world over.
Aditya would introduce a new girl opposite King Khan in the film. The hunt for a new girl is on.
The film, to be produced by Yash Chopra, would be written and directed by Aditya Chopra.

Bollywood Gossip - Abhishek's pranks entertain Divya Dutta
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Contrary to talk about how much
Abhishek Bachchan has mellowed down, he was still the prankster on the sets of Dilli 6 in Jaipur.
He has been up to his pranks in Jaipur and the schedule has turned out to be a family affair.
"Has
Abhishek really changed?"
Divya Dutta wonders. "If this is the mellow Abhishek, I'd like to know what the bratty Abhishek is like. In fact, prior to his marriage, when we worked together in Umrao Jaan, he was far quieter." He makes
Divya Dutta stand next to him.
"He's used to short women in his life (mom Jaya, favourite co-star Rani Mukerji). And now he has his tallest co-star Sonam Kapoor in the same film. So there's no dearth of variety on the sets," said
Divya Dutta.
In Jaipur, Abhishek apparently gets food for everyone on the sets.
"He gets us kachauris and all kinds of goodies, but refuses to tuck in himself. He's scared of putting on weight. I don't mind, since I've lost so much weight. The entire atmosphere on the sets is very friendly.
"We're constantly laughing and joking, quite like the people from Chandni Chowk in Delhi, whom we're playing. I even get to feed squirrels with my own hands in Jaipur. Something I've never done before."
Divya Dutta got a chance to bond with two of her childhood idols.
"I play Waheedaji (Waheeda Rehman) all her old songs on my I-Pod. She's so amazed to hear her songs that she had long forgotten. As for Rishi Kapoor, he's so chilled out. I can't believe I'm sitting and chatting with my first crush. And Om Puriji is so much fun."
Divya Dutta gets sentimental.
"The Dilli 6 unit has become one big family for all of us. It will be really heartbreaking when we've to move on. I've been lucky. Working with Yash Raj Films in Veer-Zaara and Aaja Nachle, Subhash Ghai in Joggers' Park and Hello Darling and now Rakeysh Mehra in Dilli 6, not for a second do I feel I'm not at home. Now, I need to get lucky in love."

Bollywood Gossip - Nadiadwala takes Akshay Kumar to Hollywood
Saturday, March 15, 2008
Bollywood Gossip - After doing back-to-back comedies last year, it looks like Bollywood's star Akshay Kumar is hell bent on making 2008 his year of actioners.
Nadiadwala takes Akshay Kumar to Hollywood
In producer Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Kambakth Ishq', he plays a Hollywood stuntman and it will be shot in Universal Studios.
"This would be the first Indian film to be shot within Universal Studios. We've got the permission not only to shoot within the studio but also to use their logo. Akshay plays a stuntman from Universal Studios. We also had amazing superstars from Hollywood. We're working out the legal aspects," Nadiadwala said.
Apart from that, Akshay would be seen in Nikhil Advani's full on action flick 'Chandni Chowk to China'.
'Kambakth Ishq' is to be shot in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and the producer has roped in a new director Sabir Khan to helm the film.
"It'll also star 12-15 leading actors from Hollywood in various parts. It's a candyfloss, 'safe' film. We had to bring in an extra gloss in the backdrop. That's why Hollywood.
"When I produced 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', it was the first beach film in Bollywood. After that we had dozens of beach films in Hindi. Likewise my 'Jaan-e-Mann' was the first romantic comedy with visual effects. While making full-on commercial films we need to change the backdrop."
Nadiadwala agrees shooting 'Kambakth Ishq' in Hollywood won't be an easy task.
"It will be expensive, yes. We'll have 40-50 crewmembers flying to LA. We're thinking of chartering a flight from Mumbai. It'll be more economical. Or maybe we should just buy a jet," he joked.
This is Nadiadwala's most ambitious film to date with a budget of Rs.600 million. Kareena Kapoor plays a brand model.
Why a new director for such a lavish film?
"Sabir Khan has grown up in front of me. He assisted in my production 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'. He is very hardworking and if you're suggesting that I should've first let Sabir make a smaller film then let me say I don't make small films. I've dreamt 70mm dreams from before that format was invented."
Recently, the producer has been signing a lot of new directors.

Bollywood Gossip - I may flaunt but I'm just a Desi girl
Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Bollywood Actress
Celina Jaitley is all set to stage her grand come back with Ganesh Acharaya directed film, 'Money Hai To Honey Hai', after having disappeared from the scene for some time with her International project 'Love Has No Language'.
When I meet her for this interview at her spacious, but well decorated house in the suburbs,
Celina talks in length about the film, and says that it is a story of six friends, who are strugglers in their own respective fields.
"I play a fashion designer, Shruti Pandey who has graduated from NIFT and yet struggles while trying to sell a pattern of her own to export houses", Celina quips at the outset.
The film "Money Hai To Honey Hai",
Celina Jaitley states, sets out to drive home the subtle message that today's education system really sucks and how.
"It is a comical representation of today's education system and stars besides me, stars like Govinda, Aftab Shivdasani, Upen Patel, Manoj Bajpai, Ravi Kishen and Hansika Motwani. Each of us has a different background as a struggler in the film".
Yet another film with which
Celina is quite excited is Subhash Ghai's 'Hello Darling' in which she plays a young catholic girl called Candy Fernandes. "Candy is a little dumb when people try to talk in double language to her.
The film dwells at length about how it is wrong on the part of people in society today to judge a woman on the basis of what she is wearing. It is a chic film and I enjoyed working with Isha Koppikar and Gul Panag", says Celina.
The actress then hastens to clarify, "Just because there are three women in Hello Darling like there were in Charlie's Angels, it does not mean that you should jump to the conclusion that Hello Darling is a rehash of Charlie's Angels".
Celina states that she can identify herself with the role in Hello Darling completely.
"People feel that I am anglicized and cannot talk in Hindi when the fact is that I am from a Hindi medium school background and very good in Sanskrit and Hindi.
I may flaunt blood costumes on the screen, but am conservative at heart and a very simple and down to earth girl who is rooted to the family".
Celina is happy that she gets to play a comic role in Golmaal Returns. "I am a young well educated girl who is doing her graduation in Microbiology.
Just as
Kareena Kapoor's character is named Ekta Kapoor, my character is named Mira Nair, though it has got nothing to do with filmmaker Mira Nair. I have been teamed opposite Shreyas Talpade in the film.
The best thing about Shreyas and me is that we have very good timing to carry off the comedy scenes. I have been a great fan of Sridevi as far as comedy roles are concerned", states Celina.
Celina confesses that she realized that she had a comic streak to her as an actress when she acted in 'No Entry' in which she had a zany comic role.
"After No Entry, I have done a spate of comedy films like Apna Sapna Money Money, Tom Dick & Harry, Money Hai To Honey Hai and now Golmaal Returns"
After Apna Sapna Money Money and Hello Darling, Celina has been repeated in Paying Guest by Mukta Arts. "I am lucky to have been singled out by Ghaisaab for a third film in his production company.
I play a cry baby architect in 'Paying Guest' which by the way is being directed by Paritosh Painter. I have been a fan of Paritosh who comes up with excellent plays.
Besides the Mukta Arts, I have also been signed for a three- film contract by Kumar Mangat, Ashtavinayak and Suneel Darshan"
Celina is quite excited about her recent foray to the West with a film called 'Love Has No Language' directed by Ken Khan.
"I play an Indian Bengali girl brought up in New Zealand. My parents played by Kiran Kumar and Rati Agnihotri are very orthodox and want me to marry an Indian boy of their choice, whereas I am in love with a Kiwi boy.
I am kiwi by nature and hence am stuck between my family and the boy played by Ben Mitchell. with whom I am in love with. It is a modern story"
It is interesting to note that Celina was slated to act in yet another English film called 'Quest of Shehzada'. "However because of the writer's Strike abroad, the film has been kept on hold and the shooting is yet to start.
Though the director is yet to be finalized, Orlando Bloom is being considered as an actor", she states as she concludes. Jyothi Venkatesh

Lara Dutta sheds her inhibitions
Bollywood Gossip - Model turned Actress Lara Dutta is on a fast track now. There's a new determination in her to overcome her inhibitions, whatever they might be worth.
While she prepares to do her first ever avant-garde film Devdas with Sudhir Mishra where she intends to change her entire image and get-up to play a modern-day Paro, in a new sporty film entitled Blue Lara has
gone several steps further.
She has actually managed to overcome her fear of the underwater to do some serious scuba-diving with the ever-sporty Akshay.
For years now Lara has been petried of taking the plunge. Akshay urged her to not only accept a film that needed her to go against her ingrained fears, but also helped her out of the dive-despair.
Laughing throatily Lara admits she has gotten over a lifelong fear. "But I can't speak about what it is. Yes, Akshay's natural sporty spirit is highly contagious. And it did help me to take the plunge."
She reminisces fondly about Akshay. "He was my first co-star in Andaaz and very very helpful. Then we did Bhagam Bhaag when he was fully into comedy.
I didn't know I had a comic streak in me until then. Now that he's returning to action, I'm also moving on from comedy to action big time."
Man's world is show -world. Even a free-spirited actress like Lara Dutta has to follow in the leading man's footsteps.

Bollywood News - Govinda is eager to work with David Dhawan
Thursday, March 6, 2008
Bollywood actor Govinda is very excited about getting together with David Dhawan and producer Vashu Bhagnani again and says he will create something thoroughly entertaining.
'We've created quite a sensation in the past with 'Hero No. 1' and 'Coolie No. 1'. We'll definitely create full entertainment again. Yes, it'll be a comedy. I'll try my level best that we come back with a film that will do justice to all three of us,' says Govinda.
Bollywood Star
Govinda says he owes his comeback to David Dhawan.
'It's something I learnt from
Mr (Amitabh) Bachchan. When he needed to make a comeback, he called Yash Chopra for 'Mohabbatein'. Similarly, when I needed to come back I rang up David and he gave me 'Partner'.'
Govinda has no qualms in admitting he was influenced by the Big B.
'Yeah, I copied Mr. Bachchan. I'm not anything like
Mr Bachchan, but why shouldn't I copy a man as great as him? If he can reach out to a filmmaker, why can't I? David is such a big man. Today, if he asks me to do another film with him, I don't even need to think about it - I will do it blindly.'
Bollywood actor Govinda has never been more charged about his career.
'I don't really care what people say about me. All I know is I'm doing my work with sincerity. And I've become very punctual. I reach my sets on time. I'm not here to create any problems for anyone. If I'm doing my work quietly, why are some people troubled by it? But I'm not going to get rattled.'
Govinda, who joined politics and earned a lot of flak from colleagues in the party, has no regrets.
'I don't regret anything, not even my entry into politics. I respect politicians because they are doing their jobs very efficiently. But the fame and fortune I've got has come through Mata Saraswati, my art (movies). No one has the right to eye my career and try to ruin it.'
Kumar Mangat, producer of
Govinda's 'Money Hai To Honey Hai', added: 'A miracle happened during the shooting. We finished Govindaji's work in 60 days when we had reserved 85 days for him. In Mauritius, where we shot most of the film, Govinda was the first of the cast to wake up.
'In fact, he'd wake me up and we'd have our morning tea together. I remember we had to shoot at a discotheque in Mauritius. We had to reach at 8 a.m. and all we saw were the janitors at work. That's how punctual Govinda has become.'
In fact, Mangat is planning another film with
Govinda this year.
'He's a pleasure to work with,' the producer said

Bollywood News - Now SRK wants to take terrorism head-on
Saturday, March 1, 2008
Filmmaker Karan Johar is breaking away from larger-than-life family soaps and fairytale romances. For a change, he will make a reality movie about terrorism called Khan without songs. The movie will star
Shah Rukh Khan and
Kajol.
Terrorism is too grim a subject to be associated with a Karan Johar movie. But, this time around, the filmmaker has opted for the real world.
Though Johar refused to divulge the details of the script, the buzz doing the rounds in Bollywood says that the movie will be essentially about Islamic terrorism post-9/11.
'Terrorism is a reality of our time. We cannot afford to shut our eyes to it. I am taking this film as a challenge,' Johar told the media.
Shah Rukh will play the role of a peace activist who, after being kidnapped by the terrorists, has a chance to see their 'causes' from their point of view.
Industry sources said the movie is a dream-come-true for Bollywood Actor
Shah Rukh. For this is one role he always wanted to play and he would often tell journalists that he had played all other kinds of roles in movies, but would like to play a terrorist if somebody offered him such a role, a source said.
Bollywoood Actor
Shah Rukh had once said he had personally experienced that if one had a Muslim surname abroad, one was looked upon as a terrorist. 'In London's Heathrow airport people recognise me, but when they see my second name, they run an extra check,' he had said in a recent interview.
The movie had earlier been titled My Name Is Khan.

Bollywood Gossip - Sanjay Dutt cancels his wedding with Manyata
Friday, February 29, 2008
In a bizarre turn of events, Bollywood star
Sanjay Dutt and wife Manyata have revoked their marriage in Goa.
The couple applied to the Goa Marriage Registrar
seeking to revoke their marriage Thursday and the Goa marriage registrar has accepted the application permitting them to withdraw the marriage. The wedding now stands cancelled.
The couple in their application said they did not desire to honour their marriage under the Portuguese Civil Code.
Sources said the couple decided to cancel their marriage to avoid the legal tangle arising out of the alleged fake residential certificate that the registrar had accused Manyata of submitting at the time of the wedding.
The duo apparently wanted to register their marriage under the Special Marriages Act but was not informed at the time of marriage that the Act was not applicable in Goa.
Independent sources in Goa confirmed this when contacted by IANS over phone Thursday afternoon.
The development comes barely three weeks after the couple entered into wedlock in Goa and followed it up with a Hindu marriage ceremony in Mumbai.
Circles close to Dutt described the development an indication of how Dutt and Manyata are 'frustrated with the continuing legal complications hampering their wedlock'.
A close friend of Dutt, filmmaker Nitin Manmohan, told IANS Thursday that Sanjay and Manyata just want to lead 'a normal, peaceful married life, but the legalities rocking their marriage has left a bad taste'.
Manmohan said though he had not yet spoken to Dutt about the matter, he sympathised with the couple.
The marriage led to several controversies. First, the Goa marriage registrar's office slapped a notice on the couple and then Manyata's ex-husband Meraj-Ur-Rehman claimed that he was still married to Dutt's wife.
A fortnight after the marriage was registered in Goa, the Marriage Registrar there served Manyata with a show cause notice questioning her on the fake residential certificate that she had submitted.
An official of the Goa government was suspended allegedly on ground of accepting invalid documents and registering the marriage in the tiny tourist paradise.

Bollywood Gossip - Sherlyn Chopra to do a hot Kannada item no.?
Monday, February 18, 2008
Bollywood bombshell and Outrageous bikini babe Sherlyn Chopra is going to set the Kannada and southern film industry on fire. Other established southern sirens had
better watch out, for Sherlyn is determined to leave no stone unturned to give them a run for their money.
"When I do something I give it my hundred per cent. I will do what ever it takes to be the best and make an impression in Tollywood," says a fiery Sherlyn when asked how she would compete with the existing lot. Sherlyn is known for her uncanny ability to look sexy in anything she wears, whether it's a skirt or jeans or her trade mark G-strings.
According to reliable sources, Sherlyn Chopra will be seen gyrating to a steaming hot item number in the Kannada movie titled MADEHSHA starring Shivraj Kumar, son of Dr Raj Kumar. The lead heroine is not yet finalized, but sources said that Sherlyn was the most likely choice for the lead.
MADESHSHA is directed by Ravi Srivatsa and is produced by Govardhan Murthy. Sherlyn is expected to shoot the sizzling hot item number in Bangalore during the second or third week of March this year. The item song will be choreographed by Imran Sardhariya and is expected to be one of the most expensive productions ever made in the Kannada film industry.
Many other Bollywood actresses including Malaika Arora Khan and Sameera Reddy were approached for this item number, but Sherlyn Chopra won hands down for her Outrageous and wild, devil-may-dare image, curvaceous body and great dancing feet.
Sherlyn when contacted refused to deny or confirm the news. "My manager is talking to them, we are discussing certain issues, you can ask him if it's confirmed or not," was all that the sex bomb would say.
Insiders say that Sherlyn Chopra is being paid Rs 35 lakh for doing the item song. Apparently, the producer-director duo were so keen on having Sherlyn do the item number that they agreed to pay her the outrageous sum, even though other well-known girls in the industry were quoting only half of Sherlyn's price.
Her music video and album Outrageous was showcased to a standing ovation in Barcelona, Spain at the Global Mobile World Awards. Sherlyn Chopra is slated to be working on a couple of Hollywood projects as well.

Bollywood Gossip - Every day with Abhishek is Valentine's Day: Aishwarya
Mumbai, Feb 18 (IANS) : Valentine's Day didn't turn out the way Bollywood stars Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan had hoped for, but they are not complaining. For the couple, every day is full of romance.
'What a wonderful Valentine's Day gift (the
premiere of '
Jodhaa Akbar'). Everyone who has seen 'Jodhaa Akbar' feels it is the perfect love story. And it doesn't really matter if Abhishek couldn't make it. For us, every day is Valentine's Day. Every time we're together, it's Valentine's Day,' Aishwarya told IANS.
Eyebrows were raised and whispers began when Aishwarya showed up with her in-laws Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan for the premiere of Ashutosh Gowariker's epic romance Thursday. There was no Abhishek. He arrived at the end of the event because of a delayed flight.
Aishwarya admits that spending quality time with her husband is a problem.
'His schedules are gruelling and so are mine. We're trying to spend as much time together as possible. Whenever I've some time off I join him wherever he is shooting. I've been to Jaipur where he has been shooting for the past few months,' the actress said.
'We make time. We find time for one another. We need to be happy with whatever is available. Just how happy or unhappy we make the situation is entirely in our hands,' she added.
Abhishek compensated for his absence on Valentine's Day at the Delhi premiere of 'Jodhaa Akbar' Friday. He was by his wife's side before flying back to Jaipur to join Rakeysh Ompraksah Mehra's 'Dilli 6' unit.
In Delhi, Abhishek, Aishwarya and Hrithik Roshan were an inseparable threesome, laughing joking and basking in the success of the movie.

Bollywood Gossip - Sanjay, Manyata marriage put on hold
Sunday, February 17, 2008
Bollywood Gossips - Goa authorities have kept the marriage proceedings of Bollywood Actor Sanjay Dutt and Manyata on hold after Margao division administrative officer suspended the residence certificate issued to Manyata.
"All the marriage registration proceedings are kept in abeyance pending further orders," said Sub Registrar, Chandrakant Pissurlekar, who had accepted the declaration of marriage.
Pissurlekar said that they will not allow the final signature on the marriage, which has to be done within 90 days, till the Mamlatdar (senior administrative officer in district collectorate), clears off the suspension of the residence certificate.
Manyata had attached a residence certificate of a local
panchayat, recommended by a talathi (revenue officer) in South Goa Collectorate.
The district administration has already suspended the talathi for recommending the issuance of the residence certificate without verifying whether Manyata really stayed in the area for last six months.
Sanjay and Manyata's declaration of marriage was submitted in the sub registrar's office on February 7.
Authorities state that if second signature is not executed within 90 days, the marriage would be "null and void".
There is no legal validity for the marriage until second signature is done on the declaration, they said.
The sub registrar also stated that Manyata will have to
submit her decree of divorce before doing the second signature on the declaration.
"The decree has to be submitted before final declaration of marriage and till now she is yet to submit it," Pissurlekar said.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Shantaram Naik has asked the Goa government to enact a legislation to regulate the procedure of issuing resident certificates in the coastal state.
The issue of resident certificate came into focus after the state government raised questions on the certificate issued to Manyata.
The certificate is mandatory to register a marriage in the coastal state, according to the provisions of the
Portugese Uniform Civil Code prevalent here.
The Portuguese law requires attested xerox copies of
Birth Certificate, Ration Card and School Leaving Certificate or any other document as proof of residence, the MP said, adding that the genuineness of the document produced by the actress needs to be examined properly.
The Rajya Sabha member from Goa, said the recent incident in where Manyata allegedly obtained a resident certificate on grounds that she was residing for more than six months in a house in Margao and subsequently, made a declaration before the Sub-registrar for getting the marriage registered, should be an eye opener to the state government, when, in fact, the actress has never lived in the town for the said period.

Bollywood Gossips - Neha Dhupia undermines her beauty!
Sunday, February 10, 2008
Having won the 'Fa' Femina Miss India title long back in 2002,
Bollywood Actress Neha Dhupia is indeed a beautiful lass and one among the pretty ladies in Bollywood today. Although
Neha Dhupia has failed to leave an impact on Bollywood, she has left the imprint of being a sexy lady among the audience. Her beauty and sex appeal is not only a topic of discussion among her directors, but also the
audience! But here is the anti-climax; Neha does not consider herself to be beautiful at all!!
Believe it or not,
Neha Dhupia does not consider her to be beautiful, but says that she is average-looking.
Neha says, "I don't consider myself to be beautiful and my appearance is like the other girls in general. According to me, Lisa Ray and
Aishwarya Rai are beautiful women." Recalling an incident of her childhood days,
Neha says, "I was so fatty during my school days that no boy used to talk with me. Neither did anyone present me any gift. A reason for this could be that my father, who was in the Army, and my elder brother always protected me like bodyguards."
All these notwithstanding, winning the Miss India title, Neha has proved to the world that she is not only beautiful, but also intelligent. Anyways, it seems that the boys at Neha's school must be repenting now. Had they presented Neha Dhupia with gifts then, it might be possible that they could win her heart then!
Well, after learning about Neha's story, we have begun wondering if the fantasy stories being shown on Indian television these days are inspired from her life. Many of these soaps storyline revolves around beautiful girls who either resemble superstars or are maids waiting for the prince charming to come and propose their hands. Don't you too think in a similar manner?

Bollywood Gossip-Kangana Ranaut's ‘wardrobe malfunction’
Saturday, February 9, 2008
Curiosity around the sets of Madhur Bhandarkar’s much hyped, eagerly waited Fashion grows as breaches in security leak information and generate rumours.
The director is concerned that someone else could beat him to the story. Going by Bhandarkar’s thematic preoccupations – taking digs at the media in Page 3, business houses in Corporate, and organized begging in Human Traffic –it isn’t so hard to predict that Fashion is going to be a critique of the burgeoning fashion industry in India. He has the entire crew sworn to secrecy. When the new kid on the block, Neil Mathur, visited the director on the sets, speculations were rife about his involvement in Fashion. Later, the actor confirmed that it was just a casual chat.
Fashion is constantly in the news for all the tense secrecy shrouding it, where any piece of information leaked to the press (like a shot detail) turns up in print. The director is also worried that all this hype and unwanted attention could kill the film’s chances at the box office, or worse, have a rival movie on the fashion industry come out before his.
Kangana Ranaut’s now famous ‘wardrobe malfunction’ (the actress’ slip falls down) as she walks down the ramp in a scene from Fashion, has already generated huge talk. Ms. Ranaut’s boldness – basically, consenting to do this herself rather than a body double – is being seen by some people as brazen. However, Bhandarkar is determined to push ahead with filming, hoping for a grand, overwhelming reception unsullied by hype.

Bollywood Gossips-Salman's too expensive
Wednesday, February 6, 2008
A buzz was doing the round that Salman Khan had charged
producer Vivek Galani a whooping sum of Rs 35 crore for
Veer! Well, to give you a background,
Veer is director Anil Sharma's (of
Apne fame) next venture and will be written by none other than Sallu boy himself.
Now considering he is acting as well as writing, the sum isn't unthinkable. And the same bee that buzzed about Salman's amount buzzed noisily that Anil himself has charged Rs 7 crore. This would mean that the producers would be spending 42 crore on just Salman and Sharma!
But on asking, Sharma gets defensive, "Not at all. Our scripting has just been finished. Salman and I have worked day and night in getting it perfect. But it's way too early to discuss the final figures yet," he said. Yet, it's tough to believe that. Salman being Salman would not write an entire script without
Salman Khan [ Photo Gallery ]
having the figures known, if not cleared. We probed more. "See Salman has become very attached to the story and is personally involved in everything about the film. He would not possibly charge such a massive amount. He can't be so impractical," he retorted.
Anil gushed further saying, " The way he has visualised the story is brilliant. His seniority and experience shines through. I am very confident that the film will do well!" Well, we wish so too. Amen.

King Khan learning French kissing
Sunday, February 3, 2008
Being a versatile actor Shah Rukh Khan has played a variety of characters, but has been most popular in romantic roles. Everyone, including the directors and the audience are aware of this and they know how effectively King Khan can express
love through his telling eyes. What is, however, significant is that despite acting in numerous romantic films, Shah Rukh has never done a kissing scene!
It is not that King Khan was never offered a kissing scene, but the fact remains that our Bollywood icon cannot endure witnessing him kissing on screen. However, it seems that it is time that Shah Rukh will break the legacy as he has himself confessed recently that he is so influenced by French kiss, that he cannot express it in words. Believe it or not, Shah Rukh says that during his childhood days he used to secretly watch French films just to see those exciting and intimate French kisses! In those days itself, our Bollywood icon had decided to learn the art of French kissing some day or the other.
King Khan humbly says that while he has managed to master the art of acting to a certain extent, he is yet to learn the art of French kissing. Although it's entirely a personal affair to know on whom he has practiced the art of French kissing, we presume it must be his better half Gauri.
Shah Rukh is keen to experiment new roles each time and so, we are of the opinion that there is nothing to be surprised if someday we see him plant a French kiss on screen on any of his heroines. Now who can have any objection if King Khan breaks the rules he has set for himself? Now the question is whether King Khan will plant the French kiss on his heroine with the same passion that he expresses his love through his eyes for his leading ladies on screen.

I don't like being told what to do - Shah Rukh Khan
Friday, February 1, 2008
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has taken another dig at Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss for the latter's quit-smoking-on-screen appeal to him, saying he does not like anyone telling him what to do and what not to.
Shah Rukh Khan on smoking
"I do not endorse smoking and I do not like anyone telling me personally what to do and what not to do," Khan said in an interview to a news channel.
"You cannot tell me how to earn a packet, you cannot tell me what to eat and what to wear, what not to say to my wife, these are personal things. So, I guard that very jealously," he said.
Ramadoss had, earlier this week, said Khan should not have smoked in the stands while watching a cricket match in Mumbai and that he and Amitabh Bachchan can learn a thing or two from superstar Rajnikanth regarding smoking on screen.
But Khan had this piece of advice for everyone. "I tell children all the time, please do not smoke because it is the worst. If I do not smoke, I would be a big movie star for many, many years to come or maybe I won't be because I smoke that is such a bad thing to do. Do not do it," he pleaded.
Khan (42) has earned the ire of anti-smoking groups on different occasions for lighting up in public in violation of a 2004 ban.
In October, the National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication slapped a legal notice on him asking him to explain his actions after he was spotted smoking at a cricket match and at a media conference.
On rumours of his entry into politics, Khan said despite
having a good relationship with the young scions of the Gandhi family, there is no question of joining politics.
"Half of the people think that I am very close to the Congress and am going to join politics. I am very close to Priyanka, Robert and Rahul. I tell everyone, I say this whenever I meet them. Why don't you ask them, are you going to join films," the actor said in the interview to be telecast on Saturday.
"I have another friend who is a software engineer. That does not mean I can design softwares like Azim Premji. So, these are my friends but what they do as a job is incidental to my relationship with them."
Khan, who set a new trend of sporting six-pack abs which he adorned in his last film "Om Shanti Om" said his son prompted him to go for the new look.
"My son told me Papa, you're fat... Though I wasn't, I didn't think I was fat. And I told him that, listen dude, I am not fat, I am okay.
"But he said no, you are fat papa... So I said okay give me some time and as this film required it..."
On his plans this year ahead, Khan said, "This year I would like to dedicate myself to make movies for kids, not childish movies but movie for kids, take technology of Indian cinema further. So I set parameters for myself and I try to work towards that."

Aamir's charm at Jaipur Literary Fest
Monday, January 28, 2008
This was surely a festival of 'thinking men'. Aamir Khan was the flavour of the day at the Jaipur
Literary Festival on Saturday. The
Taare Zameen Par star spoke about his films , the creative process and how he is willing to take risks and deliver with perfection.
"People all over the world will acknowledge India as a cinematic destination. We have the potential to entertain the whole world. We can be the numero uno but I do not want others to be left behind", he said to the crowd.
"Through
Taare Zameen Par, I have tried to say that when we imbue children with a competitive feeling, then they tend to lose sensitivity. Being ahead in the rat race at all costs makes them apathetic towards those who are less privileged", he added.
Speaking mostly in Hindi, he also said that he would like to share his experiences of learning the art of film-making as a teacher, in the future.

Fardeen gets a breather in the Cocaine case
Saturday, January 26, 2008
Fardeen Khan surely must have felt relieved after judge P.N.Deshmukh of a special sessions court said that the actor would be facing charges only for attempting to buy 1 gm of cocaine, which comes under the category of ‘small quantity’. So, even if he is found guilty he stands to spend only a
maximum of six months in jail.
The case dates back to the year 2001 when the actor was caught with 9gms of cocaine in Mumbai’s suburb Juhu. Fardeen was then booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and sent to custody. He however, was granted bail later and the case has been awaiting trial in the sessions court ever since.
In the recent chain of events, it appears that the actor has appealed that he was merely attempting to buy 1 gm of cocaine and hence be discharged from criminal prosecution. His plea for complete discharge has been rejected and the actor will still have to stand trial for whatever ‘small’ charge on the next session scheduled for Feb 8. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) doesn’t seem too pleased with this concession given to the actor and said that it will appeal against the sessions court order in the High Court.

The 'Saif'est way to tattoo 'Kareena'
Monday, January 21, 2008
"Ink to paper is thoughtful,
Ink to flesh, hard-core.
If Shakespeare were a tattooist
We'd appreciate body art more".
Well, this is what the significance of a tattoo is in today's times; hard-core and thoughtful. But, in today's Bollywood, a tattoo means more than just a body-art. It means yet another way to show your beloved how much he/she means to you and that how much you care!
Well, that is exactly the case with the Saif-Kareena romance. That Saif is committed is stating the obvious. But Saif has gone one step ahead. He has now tattooed his hand with the letters 'Kareena' in Devanagri script!
Saif's much-talked about tattoo was for full display at the recently held rock show where Saif jammed with the popular rock band Parikrama. Dressed in a black tee and blue jeans with a bandanna on, Saif's tattoo just behaved like a jewel on the rock-star's crown!
What more can we say except for 'If you don't fail now and again, it's a sign you're playing it 'Saif'.

Kareena my true love-Saif
Chhote Nawab has finally come out in open and accepted that he is 'extremely and completely committed' to Kareena Kapoor and would like to spend the rest of his life with her.
Saif, who has just wound up filming for Kunal Kohli's next in Bangkok, is very confident about his relationship with Kareena.
"I'm extremely and completely committed. I've found true love and I'd like people to respect that as much as I do," he said.
Kareena is known to be volatile and both she and Khan come with a baggage of failed past relationships, but Saif dismissed concerns that could impact his current relationship with Kareena.
"A lot of people say a lot of things. She's the most wonderful person I know," he says.
Kareena started dating Shahid Kapoor in 2004. The two are believed to have split in August while Shahid was away in Toronto filming for Aziz Mirza's next.
Kareena and Saif acknowledged being an item in October at the grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week.
Saif married actress Amrita Singh in October 1991 but the couple divorced after 13 years of marriage and two children in 2004.
Following his divorce Saif dated Italian Rosa Catalino but the two broke up in 2007.
The 37-year-old Saif is now all set to take his relationship with 27-year-old Kareena to the next level and commit to a life together.
Kareena and Khan co-star in Yash Raj Films' forthcoming Tashan and became close during its filming earlier this year.
When tabloids first reported their romantic linkup Kareena, who was still in a publicly acknowledged relationship with Shahid Kapoor, denied the reports contending Saif was just a friends.
Later, when she broke up with Shahid it appeared she had dumped him for Saif.
Saif implicitly acknowledged the problem.
"We do live our lives in the public glare. We're open to people passing judgment on us. I've no problem with that," he says.
Saif completed filming for Kunal Kholi's next in Bangkok five days ahead of schedule and he is taking advantage of that by holidaying in Hong Kong, accompanied by daughter Sarah, son Ebrahim and new found love Kareena.

Bollywood News : "I had to protect girls" says Govinda
Friday, January 18, 2008
On Wednesday afternoon, actor-turned-Member of Parliament Govinda is said to have slapped an onlooker who allegedly teased him.
The incident took place at Filmistan Studios on the stes of film Money Hai Toh Honey Hain when a young boy tried pushing a chair between Govinda's legs. Justifying his action, Govinda told Mumbai Mirror that the miscreant was trying to misbehave with the female dancers on the sets.
He says, “Yes, I slapped him. The guy was trying to get too close to the girls. I felt that I had to take a stand. I had to protect them.”
No police complaint has been lodged. "I am not aware of the incident," said Congress spokesperson Sanjay Nirupam.
The actor suspects that the guy was sent from an opposition political party. He says, “Opposition parties are harassing me.”
Maharashtra Minorities Front, a local organisation, has put up around 1000 banners bearing the actor-turned- politician's photograph in all parts of his constituency. The banners urge the people to inform the Front about Govinda's whereabouts. The person who gives any information about Govinda will get a prize-money of Rs 1 crore.
In 2004, Govinda made his political debut by joining the Congress party. He was thereafter elected as MP from the Virar constituency on Mumbai’s northern fringe, where he spent his childhood.
He unseated four-time MP Ram Naik in the Lok Sabha elections but since then has kept a low political profile, preferring to focus on his Bollywood career.

Bollywood Special - Salman Khan meets his Wax Replica
Wednesday, January 16, 2008
"The hair is thicker, no eye bags, no double chin, arms are bigger and the nose is sharper". Those were the exact words of Salman Khan when he came face to face with his wax replica at the world famous Madame Tussauds Museum in London. Well, who else could have understood his look-alike better than the actor himself?
He further added, “I always wanted some competition and now I have it" setting the crowd into laughter, like he always does. Sallu bhai is well known for his taunting comments, wacky answers and shocking replies to his critics, fans and media. So when asked why his family didn't travel with him, he tactfully replied, “The whole family back home is really excited but since London was so cold, they wouldn't travel."
Salman came to the venue in a white Bentley. Accompanying him was his younger sister Arpita, Bobby Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Khan himself wore a long brown leather over-coat with his famous torn jeans (he was the one who started the trend of torn jeans in the Hindi Film Industry) and white glittery t-shirt. In short, he was looking dapper in this outfit with his light brown hair and clean-shaven look.
Salman circled his wax figure by looking at it from top to bottom, when suddenly one of the
journalists asked him whether his wax replica was the exact depiction of him in every department. The reply that came from Salman shocked everyone. “I still haven't looked properly. I mean inside his jeans." He was just himself today – ‘bindaas’. Salman Khan revealed that apart from his lucky bracelet and favorite Harley Davidson jacket, there wasn't anything else he donated to the wax figure.
However, that wasn't enough for the 42 year old film Bollywood actor. He said, “Even though I came in slightly later than Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan, I still think they all are following me. After today, I don't think there is any Bollywood actor who is worthy enough to be standing next to me in Madame Tussauds." Don't worry guys! Our Sallu bhai was just kidding; after all, we are well versed with his sense of humor. He then added, “I think on a more serious note, Aamir Khan should have been the first one to be standing in Madame Tussauds."
One thing is for certain, January 15, 2008 will be best remembered as Salman Khan's day. Unfortunately, the weather was so bad that he could not even take off his T-shirt. Jokes apart, this will indeed be a proud day for all the Bollywood fans across the globe and the Indian Film Industry.

Hrithik to refrain from action scenes
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Indian superhero Hrithik Roshan, who has just recovered from a serious knee injury, says he will avoid doing stunts for some time.
"I need to be very careful for a while. No serious stunts and action scenes for a while. My body has served its warning rather effectively. I had no choice but to obey the warning signals. It would be some time before I get back into full-on action scenes," Hrithik, who turned 34 last week, told us.
"I pretend it's not a special day. But it never turns out that way," laughed Hrithik.
Apparently, Hrithik gets the maximum birthday greetings in Bollywood.
"I wouldn't know. But, yes, the quantity of love that I receive on this day is overwhelming," laughed Hrithik shyly.
He was up and about from early in the morning.
"I wanted to make sure I answered each one of the greetings personally before Hrehaan gets up."
Alas, Hrithik proposes, Hrehaan disposes. The scion of the Roshan family was up and about claiming Papa's attentions. And Hrithik was happy to give it all.
"The last year I've really had no time for the family. The injury has given me a chance to be at home and spend time with my wife and son."
And how was the birthday celebrated this year?
"Every year I like to do something associated with my work on my birthday. As luck would have it, on the evening before my birthday, it was the launch of my 'Jodhaa-Akbar' music. I loved that.
"It was one of the most well-organised music functions of my career. After that it was friend Ambika Hinduja's engagement party. So we went for that. Then we were home for the rest of the evening."
So where was the cake and the rest of the birthday trappings?
"Oh! All that happened. Suzanne always makes sure my birthdays are special."

Bollywood Gossip - Rani to play angel
After playing the prostitute with a heart of gold, Rani Mukerji is set for a U-turn. In Kunal Kohli's new film, she plays an angel who descends down to look after business-executive Saif Ali Khan's children.
Quite a leap of fate for an actress who has always taken grave risks with her career!
How does it feel to be playing an angel?
"Right now I'm not allowed to talk about Kunal's film. But, yes, any opportunity to surprise yourself and the audience is welcome," Rani told.
Some of the critics have sniggered at Rani's back-to-back roles as a prostitute in
Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and
Saawariya. Rani is unfazed.
"What's the big deal? An actor's job is to play a variety of challenging roles. And I don't think anyone has the right to question any actor for his choice of parts. I can't be happy doing just good-woman or bad-woman roles. Luckily for me I got to play three different kinds of prostitutes in

Saif Ali Khan jumps from a 22 storied building
Friday, January 4, 2008
Saif Ali Khan has turned action king for his forthcoming Tips film RACE. It is a known fact that actors have been using body doubles for doing complicated and dangerous stunts but Saif refused to do so.
RACE is an action film directed by the duo Abbas-Mustan. According to Abbas-Mustan "RACE being an action film has many dangerous stunts in it and all the stunts had to be shot in such a way that it looked dangerous as well as real." In one of the scenes Saif had to jump down from a 22 storied building and Saif refused to use a body double for the scene. He wanted to do the scene himself.
Though Saif was tied to a harness it was very dangerous as it was not a child's play to jump down from a 22 storied building. Says producer Ramesh Taurani, "We are thankful to Saif for doing this stunt. He did this not just once but thrice just to okay the shot. Everybody on the sets would get frightened and our hearts would stop beating as soon as he jumped down."
All the necessary precautions were taken while shooting the scenes. A doctor and an ambulance were kept ready on the sets as a part of precautionary measures. Hats off to Saif for being such courageous person and doing such difficult stunts.

Deepika Padukone charges One Crore
Having got her big break opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’, Deepika Padukone will now be seen with Sharman Joshi in Rakesh Roshan’s unititled next celluloid venture.
Incidentally, the success of ‘Om
Shanti Om’ has sky-rocketed Deepika’s demand among the Bollywood crop of directors and now we learn that the lass is demanding a whopping Rs one crore fee for each film that she is signing!
If both the news makes you raise your eye-brows, we have more for you. We are told that when Rakesh Roshan decided to take up the new venture, he had thought of casting a more popular face as the film’s hero.
However, as it is basically a heroine-oriented film, no actor worth his name or value was willing to oblige the senior Roshan. Hence, he had to settle on Sharman Joshi.
Meanwhile, industry sources say that despite being a heroine-oriented film, the venture may prove to be detrimental for Deepika at this nascent stage of her career.
They argue that heroine-oriented films are neither given much importance by the Bollywood crowd, nor are they great crowd pullers at the box office.
Interestingly, these days even the women in the audience are not too fond of heroine-oriented films.
Now what remains to be seen is how the new celluloid pair fares at the box office.
The audience as well as those in the industry not only has great expectations from Rakesh Roshan, whose all previous films have been super-duper hits, but also on Deepika.
We earnestly hope and pray that this film also proves to be a boon for Deepika, for Bollywood has the unique reputation of elevating a non-entity on Cloud 9 in one movie and then tumbling them to obscurity in another.
We sincerely hope that this does not happen to Deepika.

Salman Khan to unveil statue at Tussauds
Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who has bee
n sentenced to five years in jail for poaching, has been given permission by the Jodhpur High Court to travel to London for the unveiling of his statue at Madam Tussauds Wax Museum, his lawyer said.
Dipesh Mehta, the actor's lawyer, confirmed that he would fly to London January 14.
"He will unveil the statue the same day and return the next day," Mehta said.
Salman's wax statue will join the statues of other Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai.
The actor, currently out on bail, was found guilty of poaching a chinkara, an endangered species of deer, near Jodhpur in September 1998 while filming for the movie
Hum Saath Saath Hain.
A lower court convicted Salman for the offence on February 17, 2007.
The Bishnoi community of Rajasthan, traditional custodians of the natural environment, had taken up the matter against Salman.
