Bollywood Gossip : At the unveiling party of Ram Gopal Varma's new film Sarkar Raj, the director showered his film's leading lady Aishwarya Rai Bachchan ( who was in Miami with hubby Abhishek Bachchan celebrating their first wedding anniversary) with compliments galore.

He announced:"When we firs approached Aishwarya Rai, I wasn't conscious of the fact that she is a good actor because her beauty overwhelms her brilliant performances. So I had a certain arrogance in me, I thought I would make her perform. But I was surprised."

Ramu further recalled:"There is a particular shot in Sarkar Raj where Amitji is explaining something to her. Due to some complex camera movements, we had to shoot nine takes. What is amaising is that in all the nine takes, she looked as if she was listening to Amitabh for the first time. Only a director can recognise this as an amazing quality in an actor. I became a big fan of her acting after that."

1. Two brothers separated in childhood will always grow up on different sides of the law. The law-breaker, however, will suddenly turn over a new leaf before the end, bash up the villain (who is the *real* bad guy), and be pardoned for all his sins before the last-scene family reunion. (This is possible only if he has a heroine - see rule 2 below).

2. If the number of heroes is not equal to the number of heroines, the excess heroes/heroines will a) die b) join the Red Cross and take off to Switzerland before the end of the movie.

3. If there are 2 heroes in a movie, they will fight each other savagely for at least 5 minutes (10 if they are brothers).

4. Any court scene will have the dialogue "Objection milord". If it is said by the hero, or his lawyer, it will be overruled. Else, it will be sustained.

5. The hero's sister will usually marry the hero's best friend (i.e. the second hero). Else, she will be raped by the villain within the 1st 30 minutes, and commit suicide.

6. In a chase, the hero will always overtake the villain, even on a bullock-cart, or on foot.

7. When the hero fires at the villain(s), he will never
a) miss
b) run out of bullets. When the villain fires at the hero, he will always miss (unless the hero is required to die, as in rule 2).

8. Any fight sequence shall take place in the vicinity of a stack of a) pots b) barrels c) glass bottles, which will be smashed to pieces.

9. Any movie involving lost and found brothers will have a song sung by
a) the brothers
b) their blind mother (but of course, she has to be blind in order to regain her sight in the climax)
c) the family dog/cat.

10. Police inspectors (when not played by the hero) come in two categories:
a) Scrupulously honest, probably the hero's father - killedby the villain before the titles.
b) Honest, but always chasing the anti-hero (as in Rule 1), saying "Tum kanoon se bach nahin sakte", only to pat him in the back in reel 23. Usually, this inspector's daughter is in love with the anti-hero.
c) The corrupt inspector, (usually the real villain's sidekick) unceremoniously knocked about by the hero(s) in the climax.

Bollywood News : Imran Khan has been feeling pangs of nervousness before his first promo of Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, which hits the marquee on this Sunday. He called Aamir Khan to share his nervousness, during the conversation Aamir Khan realized that his nephew was nervous and asked him to take the next flight to Hyderabad on Tuesday.


Aamir Khan is going through the most grueling schedule of Ghajini in Hyderabad. Even with a 14-hour day shift, he took time out to spend most of his time with his nephew Imran Khan between the shots. People, who know Aamir, would know how unusual this is, as when he is shooting he likes to be completely involved in his shooting and not meet lot of people. In fact, director AR Murgadoss was also seen talking and chatting with Imran Khan.

During the conversation, Imran admitted to Aamir that he was worried and a bit nervous about his first photo shoot. So promptly, he called Avi (Avinash Gowarikar) to Hyderabad to have the photo shoot done in Hyderabad next day, where he could be around to give moral support.

Source close to Aamir Khan says, "It was reminiscent of Aamir Khan's launch himself, during the days of QSQT…he would be going through nervous phases and both Naseer Sahib and Mansoor Khan would sit with him and talk to him. Aamir has been through the earlier days of first promo going on air and knows how it feels."

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 : 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 : Chak De girl Shilpa Shukla is all set to enter the international cinema with a film titled Extrospection which will be directed, written and produced by Manan Singh Kotohora. It is said that the film is based on Satyajit Ray's Charulata but set in contemporary times.

The film will be shot in New York with Shilpa playing the lead role of Charu. With all praises for Shilpa Shukla, Kotohora said that he was taken aback by the actress' performance in Khamosh Pani and Chak De India. Hence, she was his natural choice for the film.

Kotohora's another project titled When Kiran Met Karen, which is based on the issue of lesbianism, is in under post production. Extrospection is expected to go on the floors this year.

Right from the times of the patriarch Raj Kapoor, the Kapoor khandaan has always had a stronghold on the Filmfare awards ceremony. This time it was no different.

This year the Best Actress Award, Filmfare 2008 went to Kareena Kapoor; the Best Debutant's Award to Ranbir Kapoor and the Lifetime Achievement Award to Rishi Kapoor. Quite evidently, it was a complete Kapoor sweep once again.

Similar to the Kapoor Khandaan, another khandaan's hoping to make a sweep. Not at the Filmfare, but at IIFA - the rival awards show that has Amitabh Bachchan as the brand Ambassador.

The Abhishek-Aishwarya starrer Guru is nominated here in almost every category. The other award staples include Yash Raj and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

These families represent Bollywood's traditional film families that have ruled the award ceremonies for years.

From Amitabh to Abhishek, Yash Johar to Karan Johar and Rishi to Ranbir, the stars may have changed, the filmmakers may have changed but the awards keep coming.

Critics of the system say, if you're part of the family, the trophy's yours. If not better luck next time.

According to Madhur Bhandarkar: ''I have got national Award for Chandi Bar and Page Three. But I was a little disappointed in the popular awards here. After getting a national award, Page 3 was sidelined when it came to the popular awards. I didn't know why.''

As Madhur Bhandarkar puts it, the lines are clearly drawn - between who's in which camp and who's on who's side.

So if you're a Shah Rukh Khan, you host Filmfare but don't attend IIFA. And if you're a Bachchan that's the one award you don't miss.

All your friends and those you work with walk the red carpet with you, even hand out and receive awards. And sometimes even if you've got a great film lineage, you may at best get the critics award.

''The cliquism and the incestuousness stops talent. It's again quite the Arjun-Eklavya story, thousands of years after the Mahabharata. Only Arjun can'', says Sudhir Mishra.

According to film producer, Vipul Shah, ''Why is not a film actor or film producer allowed to promote his own family? Because that happens in every business. So why should an actor or director be restricted or be criticised for doing so. Because when a businessman hands over his multicrore empire to a son over a much more learned CEO, nobody makes an issue out of that.''

But of course there are exceptions to the rule. Powerful performers like Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan, who came from the outside and built their own families - giving hope to the majority of this industry that has no family backing them.

''See people tell me that you are from Shah Rukh Khan camp, you are from this camp...we all belong to one camp. That is cinema. I am groomed in Mahesh Bhatt's so-called camp. Then I joined Shah Rukh Khan. And I have worked with Shah Rukh Khan for almost 12 years. He is like my local guardian. During these last 12 years I never felt I belong to Shah Rukh Khan's camp. I am friendly with everybody'', says Vivek Sharma, director of Bhoothnath.

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 Gossips : Well, first it was Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who is believed to have done a really sizzling hot number in Dharma Productions' Dostana being directed by Tarun Mansukhani. And now it's Bollywood actor John Abraham's turn.

No, John is not doing an item number. But he will be flaunting his six packs in Dostana. This is something which will cheer the hearts of his female fans. Apparently the actor will go bare chested for a sequence in the film.

Of course, this is not the first time that he has done so. Even in films like Jism and the more recent No Smoking, the brawny actor was seen bare chested. It seems that producer Karan Johar is not leaving anything to chance in his home production. He has left no stone unturned to ensure that the film grabs attention.

Besides boasting of a cast consisting of Bollywood a John, Priyanka Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan, he went ahead and roped in Shilpa Shetty for an item number. And that's not all. He is also believed to have roped in actor Bobby Deol to do a special number. He sure does believe in the more the merrier.

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 : Katrina Kaif's sizzling number "Sexy lady" in 'Race' and now an impending item song in the sporty film 'Blue' have given her a sensuous image, but she's surprisingly uncomfortable with it.

Katrina Kaif says she is not hot!

"I want to retain the image of the girl next door. I don't want the hot image. Even in 'Sexy lady' I'm fully clothed. I'm still the girl next door. It's not the conventionally sexy kind of song," Katrina told us.

'Race', where she's pitched for the sensuous sweepstakes against Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy, has Katrina pulling out all the stops to erase the homely image.

But she says: "I don't think so. Everything in 'Race' looks larger-than-life, very fulsome, urgent and exaggerated. The actors are styled accordingly. I haven't
