The National Media Council ordered that the movie, released in India and here on Friday, not be screened in the UAE after receiving scores of complaints from viewers.

The movie also stars Priyanka Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan, and is considered a remake of the 2003 Hollywood production Bruce Almighty starring Jim Carrey.

In the film, Bachchan plays the role of god as he meets Salman's character Arun Prajapati who blames god for all his problems.

"Those who saw the movie told the authorities they were shocked to find that Bachchan played the role of 'god'," reports said.

Bollywood Gossip - Sherlyn's 30 carat 'Dard'
Monday, April 7, 2008
After stunning the audience with an 'outrageous' performance, the spunky lass Sherlyn is now doing a Naomi Campbell in an itsy bitsy golden and diamond draped outfit for her latest video 'Dard'.

She'll be seen wearing a 30-carat, diamond encrusted outfit made out of real gold thread spun specially for the purpose, which costs a cool Rs 25 lakh. According to the choreographer of Sherlyn's video Remo D'souza - the outfit has been specially made by craftsmen from Rajasthan and Udaipur.

Sherlyn got her track specially remade to give it a high-voltage club remix feel. The music is re arranged and remixed by DJ Akbar Sami who spent considerable time and effort on the project.

'Dard' will be shot in exotic locations and will feature complex choreography, sets, lighting and sound effects. A group of technicians and laser light experts have been working on the computerized effects that will compare with the best in the world. Sherlyn said that she didn't want to divulge any details at this stage. "You can see me in action when the shooting begins". I will definitely invite all of you guys...

We hope Sherlyn extends this invitation to her fans as well.

Bollywood Gossip - I was never meant to get pregnant in 'Fashion' says Priyanka
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Denying rumours that she forced Madhur Bhandarkar to change the climax in Fashion, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who has been shooting nights for the movie, says her character getting pregnant was not a part of the script.

Priyanka Chopra says 'That was never a part of the script. The ending was decided at the scripting stage. The girl was never meant to get pregnant.

Priyanka Chopra


'Why would I shy away from doing something unconventional? I started with Aitraaz, which was as unconventional as they come. I'm so amused by all the speculation about Fashion. It just shows how much interest the film is generating. In spite of the constant attention, we've shot a majority of the film. We're all working really hard on it.'

'I don't know where these stories come from. Apparently, I asked Madhur to change the climax of the plot so that my character doesn't get pregnant. Now where did that come from? Madhur is a very competent director. Do you think he'd allow any actor to tamper with the script?

'Yes, the two of us sat down on the script and threshed it out over six-seven months. Once that was done, we went by the script completely. I'd be the last person to ask for changes once I begin shooting.'

As for the film being inspired by the lives of real-life ramp-walkers, Priyanka clears the air.

'The film is a work of fiction. It's not meant to be the true story about the modelling world. Basically, it's the story of this one girl's biographical journey, just like Tabu in Madhur's Chandni Bar or Bipasha in Corporate.

'The fashion world is my character's backdrop. My character could very well have been a part of any other profession.'

Priyanka, who will be seen in Drona and Love Story 2050, admits that she has never been more nervous about any of her films.

'It's a very nerve-wracking character and I hope I'm able to live up to people's expectations.'

Priyanka has to cram in as much of the shooting as possible for Fashion before she rushes off in March to Miami for Karan Johar's 'Dostana' directed by Tarun Mansukhani.

'That would be a welcome sunny seaside change after shooting the intense scenes indoors on a set for Fashion. It's a young peppy frothy film. Totally different from Fashion.'

Guess who is finding solace in the company of this pretty damsel? Well, our source informs that it is none other than cricketer Sreesanth. The actress and the cricketer have become phone pals.
Imagine, she isn’t even doing a Preity Zinta - like IPL number. Neither does she have a fleeting fancy a la Deepika Padukone for Yuvi or Dhoni.
Okay guys, we're told that Priyanka and Sree will be doing an ad together and it’s for Lux toilet soap. Huh? Will he be dunked in a tub of rose petals? Or will Priyanka just soap his face with bubbles?
Recently, there was news of Sreesanth calling up Priyanka to express his feelings. The news created quite a furor in the media. There was also an audio tape of their conversation. Both Sree and Priyanka have denied any such happening.

Bollywood Gossip - Are Aditya Chopra, Rani Mukherjee engaged?
Wednesday, March 5, 2008
Is producer-director Aditya Chopra tying the knot with Bollywood star Rani Mukherjee The grapevine is abuzz with rumours ever since the former has filed a petition seeking divorce from his first wife at the Bandra Family Court in northwest Mumbai.

Aditya's father, movie moghul Yash Chopra, is not too happy with this alliance and therefore Aditya has moved out his family home and is now staying in a five-star hotel in suburban Mumbai.

In fact, Aditya's parents have already made it known publicly that they are against their son divorcing his wife whom they adore. Which, indirectly, means that if Aditya's marries Rani, he will have to do so against his parents' wishes.

It is speculated that Aditya's shift from his father's home is a prelude to his impending marriage with Bollywood star Rani, with whom he has been having an affair for a long time, according to sources.

A rumour has been also doing the rounds since Sunday that Aditya had, in fact, given the actress an engagement ring a day earlier when both met secretly at the hotel where he has been staying.

Though none close to the Chopras would confirm the rumour, but the fact that Aditya's petition seeking divorce from his first wife, Payal, was granted after the mandatory grace period of six months last week, lent teeth to the speculation.

"I am afraid, I will not be able to comment on the private life of my client. Moreover, I have no inkling of the exchange of engagement rings between Aditya and Rani Mukherjee. My client does not keep me informed about his private affairs," Gopal Pandey, long-time publicist of Yash Raj Films, told us.

As a matter of fact, in deference to the reputation of Yash Raj Films, especially the position filmmaker Yash Chopra holds in Bollywood, none came forward to comment one way or the other on the "impending" Aditya-Rani marriage, which, without confirmation, has remained a rumour.

Over the last few years, Rani has been seen in quite a few films made by Yash Raj Films, being handled by Aditya. She featured in 'Hum Tum', 'Veer-Zaara', 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' and 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag'.

Bollywood Gossip - Adi is divorcing his wife to marry Rani Mukherjee
Sunday, February 24, 2008
Exclusive Bollywood Gossips - The moment has arrived for Aditya Chopra and Bollywood Actresss Rani Mukherjee.

The Yash Raj scion, who was staying at a suburban five-star hotel for a long time due to differences with his parents is back in his parent's home but on one condition that they don't interfere in his personal life read Rani Mukerjee.

The entire problem started with Yash and Pamela Chopra's disapproval for Rani as they didn't want their son to break-up with his wife Payal but the DDLJ director didn't gave in to their demands... and still dating the queen bee.

He apparently wanted Payal to move out of the house before he returned home. Though Pam still does not like Rani much, but has had to bend because she could not stay away from her son.

But what about poor Payal? She gets a settlement, worth more than Rs 20 crore we hear, besides a plush spacious in Juhu, close to Sanjana Kapoor's Prithvi theatre.

With everything else falling in place, Adi is finally filing for a divorce. His married life of five-odd years is headed nowhere, they have told the family court in Bandra. The mandatory six-month cooling-off period required after filing a mutual consent divorce petition will get over this May for the producer.

It took three joint meetings with their lawyer for the two to set their divorce process in motion.

Their lawyer advised them and they agreed not to mention the terms of settlement in the court documents, opting instead for an out-of-court arrangement.

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 - Harman wants Deepika's attention
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Deepika Padukone

Men can't get enough of Deepika Padukone. The ethereal beauty, who has ace cricketer and India's heartthrob Mahendra Singh Dhoni at her feet, recently irked Priyanka Chopra when beau Harman Baweja made a beeline for Deepika at an Om Shanti Om bash.

Harman pulled Deepika onto the dance floor even though he had arrived at the party with his ex-Miss World girlfriend. And while he scorched the dance floor with Deepika, Priyanka fumed in a corner.

Understandably so, since Deepika was getting attention from almost every man at the party. Things haven't been going all that great for Priyanka and Harman anyway. This just might be the final nail in the coffin of their relationship.

Meanwhile, even as Dhoni is trying hard to impress Deepika, it might be Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar who will romance the actress. Before Dhoni brings his bat out to hit Shoaib, let us tell him it's only for the Pakistani cricketer's Bollywood debut. Deepika's driving men batty.
