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!"

Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Bollywood News : Walt Disney Studios has acquired the home-video rights for Tare Zameen Par for the US market, reports Our Bureau from New Delhi.

The US entertainment major is looking at a mainstream DVD launch of the movie rather than just concentrating on NRI pockets.

According to Aamir Khan Production (AKPL) and PVR Pictures, this the first time that an American major has picked up home-video rights for an Indian movie for a mainstream launch.

When contacted, an AKPL official said: "The film has done well on the overseas box office, especially in the US. Now that Disney is planning a mainstream launch for the movie in the US, we hope it does well in the home-video space too."

He added that the movie was picked up by Disney as it caters to children's issues.

Bollywood Gossip : Looks like Bollywood Actress Sonam Kapoor has found her new love in Kunal Kapoor. This Bollywood Kapoor Jodi is nowadays often scene roaming around coffee shops, malls, etc with hand in hand.

Looking at the recent happenings in both the stars life they really could heal each others broken heart. Where Ranbir Kapoor dumped Sonam for hottie Deepika Padukone, Kunal Kapoor too had a break up with gorgeous Dia Mirza.

So the couple could surely understand each other’s situation and try to bring happiness on their respective lives. Especially, Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam was so depressed after her break up with Ranbir that she went for a 2 months hideout.

But we would like to warn this emotional girl about Mr Kunal who has not only ditched Diya Mirza but also has an flirtatious history of dumping Raima Sen.

Being an emotional girl we would recommend Sonam to think twice before moving ahead in her relationship with this flirt natured guy.

Bollywood Gossip - Kajol's yes to Shah Rukh Khan
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 - Sizzling Amisha Patel in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic
Sunday, June 15, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Amisha Patel has dared to bare in the latest offering from the Yash Raj Studios.

In new promo shots for Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, the actress is seen baring plenty of skin and displaying her lush assets to the oomphiest level.

Can anyone find the Censor Board frowning?????

But we are certainly not complaining about this because she has toned up pretty well and looks sizzling sensational in her glamorous and sexy new avatar in the song “Lazy Lamhe“, the sensuous steamy number where Bollywood Actress Amisha seduces Saif Ali Khan.

It isn’t just Amisha''s career that’s doing well, but her personal life as well. Miss Amisha who kept a low-profile since her break-up with long time beau Vikram Bhatt recently stepped out with a new boyfriend (Delhi-based-businessman Kanav Puri).

Looks like Kanav is not only boosting her ego; but his presence is boosting her career as well! We say he’s a keeper!


Good Luck Amisha!!

Bollywood Gossip - Rani slips and falls in her new dream house
Thursday, June 12, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : It hasn't been an easy time for Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee. Getting her new dream house constructed proved to be a big challenge to her.

"It was like three films by Mr Yash Chopra, Sanjay Bhansali and Karan Johar all being made simultaneously, I was going mad, " Rani told a friend.

She had set a deadline for the dream home to be completed. "It had to be done before her next film (for Yashraj Films) started. And she had to meet the deadline somehow, " a friend recalls.

To compound her construction woes, Rani recently fell on the steps of her new home and hurt herself.

"Her thumb was badly hurt. For weeks she had to undergo physiotherapy. But before it could heal completely she plunged into cricket practice for her new film with Yashraj where she plays a cricketer.

So the thumb hasn't had a chance to heal properly. She has been going through a series of misadventures and that's why she has been keeping out of the limelight.

Earlier Rani got her office ready a year and a half ago. Now her home is finally ready."

After months and months of living with the heat and dust Rani Mukherjee's dream house has been opened to close friends like Karan Johar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

"In fact the Mukherjee family moved into Rani's dream house even while the construction was on. So Rani has been living with the heat dust and hurt thumb for months."

On Saturday the latch of workers and designers packed their gears and left.

Rani finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Says a source close to Rani, "She's so relieved. It has been an ordeal for Rani because she couldn't do anything else until the house was ready. But now when she sees how happy the house has made her family she feels all the effort has been worth it."

Rani starts shooting with Shahid Kapoor for her new Yashraj Films on June 18.

Kareena Kapoor [ Click here for photos ]

Plus I've all these stage shows that require rehearsals. I can't seem to find the time to do anything properly," she laments from Melbourne where she's shooting for Salman Khan's Main Aur Mrs Khanna.

She has in fact agreed to perform at IIFA in June and is rehearsing as she has never done. "I'm performing a medley of my songs from Jab We Met and Tashan. Gone are the days when I'd go on stage with just a little practice. Now I want to be my best in every stage performance."

But where's the time! "Here, at Melbourne I'm rehearsing for IIFA at nights and shooting in the day time. Am I over-worked? I'm exhausted. But what choice do I have? I've decided to take my live performances as seriously as my movies and endorsement,"she says.

She's currently Melbourne and will next move to Los Angeles for a long 40-day spell of shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambhakt Ishq

"I'll be away from home for more than three months at a stretch. I miss home. I miss my family. I've never been so much out of Mumbai. I'll finish shooting here, then head to perform at the IIFA.

In fact I'm working so hard I hardly get sleep. I'm shooting in the day time and I'm rehearsing during the night.I feel like a I haven't slept for ages."

She'll join Saif in London for a week in London from June 20. Saif will be shooting in the city for his first home production to be directed by Imtiaz Ali. Yup, the same film that Deepika Padukone is doing instead of Kareena.

And Deepika Padukone is seeing Kareena's star-cousin Ranbir. "I'm so happy for them. I hope they'll be happy together. It feels so nice to have another Kapoor from my generation doing so well.

He was fantastic in Saawariya. He's here's to stay. I feel a sense of pride and belonging for him.The Kapoors and Khans are rocking the industry."

No hard feelings about not being in Saif's first home production?

"None at all," Bebo laughs. "I joked at the Stardust awards about not being in Saif's first production and everyone took it seriously.

Honestly I enjoy meeting him outside Mumbai. At least we can have some privacy. At home me and Saif can't even go out for dinner without people staring at us, constantly judging our behaviour..."

Bollywood Gossip - When Abhishek talked about sex
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 - Amitabh seems to be happy with Ash
Monday, May 19, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Following the footsteps of his darling bahu, Big B has also made it to Cannes.

On visiting Cannes, Amitabh Bachchan has said the family was there to be with daughter-in-law Aishwarya, who is a brand ambassador of L'Oreal, and to spend quality time with one another.

"We went to the opening with her (Aishwarya) and a few films together, but mostly it is to be with family because we've all been away from each other for a long time in different parts of the world. It's lovely to just be together and catch up, before we drift away to our respective schedules," Amitabh said.

On being asked if he is in Cannes, the actor replied, "Yes I am in Cannes and with the family. This is a private visit and there are no films I am representing. I believe there was an article criticising us for not visiting the India pavilion. Well, firstly, this is a private visit and moreover, no one has invited us. And secondly, I am a little wary of government invitations. They invite you to be chief guest at a function and when you arrive there, tell you you are not invited."

"We are here to be with Aishwarya, who is here in an official capacity as brand ambassador for L'Oreal. We went to the opening with her and a few films together, but mostly it is to be with family because we've all been away from each other for a long time in different parts of the world. It's lovely to just be together and catch up before we drift away to our respective schedules," he added.

Bollywood Gossip - Sonia Gandhi approves film on her life
Bollywood Gossip : Congress president Sonia Gandhi has approved a proposed film on her life that will include
details of her romance with her late husband Rajiv Gandhi during their student days in the UK, its director Jagmohan Mundhra said.

"I have already shared with Sonia ji all the research that I have done on her. She has given me the go-ahead but asked me to hold on until the the next general elections are out of the way," Mundhra said.

The film is scheduled to roll in 2009, he said.

Mundhra's plans to film the real life story about how the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Maino first met in England as students were stalled last year amid protests by a section of the Congress party.

"All that has now been sorted out," said the filmmaker, who is in the Cannes Film Market this year with "Shoot on Sight", yet another film inspired by actual events.

Mundhra was on the verge of making film soon after completing Provoked, which had Aishwarya Rai playing a real-life battered woman who ended up killing her abusive husband.

'Shoot on Sight', starring Naseeruddin Shah, Greta Scacchi and Om Puri, narrates the story of a Muslim commander of the Scotland Yard, Tariq Ali, who must stand up for his values and beliefs in a London shaken by the 7/7 terror strike in a tube station.

The protagonist of the film is modelled on Tariq Gafoor, the Pakistan-born officer who became Scotland Yard's most visible face on television in the aftermath of the underground blasts.
