Bollywood Gossips - The backstage of the53rd Annual Filmfare went on fire suddenly, when eavesdroppers heard the stunning Deepika Padukone softly declare “I Love You” to Ranbir Kapoor.

This bit of news was thousand times spicier than what was happening on stage. The eavesdroppers blessed their luck on witnessing the soft romance between the “oh so in love” couple. Looking deep in her eyes, Ranbir first confessed his love by saying, "I love you", and then Deepika responded shyly.

Reports say that after the romantic declaration, the lovey-dovey couple left for Farah Khan’s party, where they were seen holding hands and even kissing.

Earlier, Ranbir had refuted the entire romantic link-up between him and Deepika by stating that, "We have been friends. Then she was busy with her first film`s release and I was busy with mine. Recently we were shooting in Australia and became friendly again. She`s an amazing, caring girl. I enjoy spending time with her."

Sources say that cupid struck during the shoot for Siddharth Anand’s film in Australia. Since then, they’ve been pretty much together and have often been seen in public. The duo was recently seen in a highly entertaining advertisement, which also features SRK as Deepika’s brother.

It seems that our worthy cricketers (read Yuvraj and Dhoni) have been stumped in favour of “Saawariya” Ranbir. Never mind guys, better luck next time!

While the bollywood film industry is abuzz with bollywood rumours of VJ Bruna being cast opposite Bollywood Actor Hrithik Roshan in his next, the film's director Anurag Basu is only too amused. Not only does he deny the reports, he maintains that even Bollywood Actress Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone do not fit the bill.

When asked to clear the air, Anurag Basu said, "I am still searching for a girl. In fact, we have been auditioning really hard for a perfect girl. I don't understand how Bruna's name cropped up considering that I have definitely not signed her yet and she is not the only girl to have auditioned!" So what exactly is he looking for in his heroine? "The film requires a Spanish speaking girl who can dance well," said Anurag Basu. "That's the reason why we are having so much of difficulty in finding the right girl," he added. Then what about the reports that Anurag had also approached the current sweethearts of the industry - Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone?

Anurag rubbished the claims saying, "As I said I am looking for a girl who speaks Spanish, they immediately disqualify." Interestingly, amidst this entire hullabaloo, a source very close to Bruna still holds by the claim that she has actually been signed up and they are maintaining a low profile as of now.

"She has been signed, but probably has been asked not to talk about it as yet," said a source. Waits to be seen who will finally win the race to be Hrithik's arm candy in this one.

BANGALORE: Deepika Padukone never aspired to be a Bollywood actor and was always interested in modeling and the fashion industry, says her father.

The model-turned actress shot to spotlight with the success of her first film 'Om Shanti Om' (OSO), co-starring Shah Rukh Khan.

"She was always interested in modelling... in the fashion industry. We knew that her interest was towards that (modelling) and she had done a few ads when she was still in school... films were not anywhere on her mind initially," recalls Prakash Padukone, former badminton champion.

"She wanted to be a model. And it was only when she was modelling - she modelled for about two years - I think somewhere down the line... during that period, she decided she would try her hand in acting also," he said.

Asked whether he had any regrets on his daughter not taking up a sports career, Padukone said, "We, both me and my wife, believe in encouraging our children in whatever they are interested in not imposing our views. That way, they excel when you enjoy whatever you do".

"Because, these days, there are opportunities in any field. One does not have to be an engineer or doctor to make a good living. There is scope for an artist or a singer or a performer in the last five years or ten years."

"So, we were very sure that we would encourage them in whatever field. That's also been our experience in the past. You push somebody into something which you want them to be, then both will be disappointed, and they may not be inclined," he said.

Life has not been the same again for the 22-year-old actress after she struck it big in her maiden venture. But her dad wants her to remain humble, focused and not get carried away by the new-found celebrity status

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.

She is just 21 and doesn't want to get married and yet two of the biggest stars of Indian cricket team and her friends, Yuvraj singh and M S Dhoni are putting all their efforts to woo this doe-eyed beauty.

Intially it was MSD who invited her to a T20 cricket match against Australia but on this Wednesday when Yuvi hosted a birthday bash at the JW Marriott hotel Deepika Padukone was invited the special guest of the evening.

Cricket buddies Zaheer Khan and Ashish Mehra showed up while others kept away. M S Dhoni probably didn’t show up to save Deepika and Yuvraj the embarrassment of being in the same room as him.

As Yuvi cut a cake, the duo danced to Bollywood numbers and had a blast.

The on-lookers claim that Padukone, who is also being touted to be Krrish's next leading lady, played the perfect host at the event. She mingled with the guests as if she belongs to Yuvi's family. The duo looked more than just friends if their body language was any indication.

Though Yuvi's ex-flame Kim was also invited but she delibratly gave the event a skip.

“I didn’t remember it was Yuvraj’s birthday. If it was, I hope it was a great party. I’ve heard Deepika was part of the celebrations and if she was, good for her,” exults Kim.

Let's hope there is no tension in the Indian team owing to the Yuvraj-Deepika-Dhoni triangle.

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.

Eros International, the leading integrated company within the Indian media & entertainment sector announces an unprecedented opening of Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om, produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and directed by Farah Khan. The film opened to rave reviews and advance bookings on the 9th November and has since grossed over US$19 million worldwide in its first week making it the most successful opening in Indian cinema history.

Om Shanti Om released across 1,400 plus screens globally, and for the first time saw screenings as early as 7.45 a.m. in certain multiplexes in India, making it one of the most anticipated films in recent times. Om Shanti Om’s staggering first week gross collections of US$13.5 million in India make it the best ever opening there. The figures overseas are no less remarkable with the film grossing $1.5 million at the UK box office and over $2million in North America in its first week.

With the film opening in cinemas in India to a fantastic 95-100 percent capacity audiences and maintaining a steady 80-90 percent from Monday, Om Shanti Om promises to be the biggest film of SRK’s career.

Om Shanti Om stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in pivotal roles. The film's score and soundtrack has been composed by the musical duo, Vishal Shekhar with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Cinematography for the movie is by V. Manikandan whilst editing is handled by Shirish Kunder.

Om Shanti Om is a story of love, dreams, betrayal and destiny revolving around a film actor ‘Om’ (Shah Rukh Khan) and his love interest ‘Shanti’ (Deepika Padukone). Om was a junior artist and Shanti a superstar in the 1970’s. He was her biggest fan. She was his biggest inspiration.


The film has over 30 of Bollywood's hottest stars including Salman Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Kajol, Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra, Preity Zinta, Saif Ali Khan and many more putting in a guest appearance.

Eros has previously distributed Main Hoon Na as well as Paheli, which are both Red Chillies Productions.

With Om Shanti Om, Eros International continues its successful line up of global releases including hits like Omkara, Salaam-E-Ishq, Eklavya, Provoked, Namastey London, Cheeni Kum, Partner, Gandhi My Father, Heyy Babyy etc.

New Delhi: Om Shanti Om's Shanti was in the Capital for the second time in the same week to endorse yet another clothing line.

Deepika Padukone is riding high on the post OSO euphoria and currently is the ad world's favourite.

According to experts the model turned actress now commands a brand valuation of over Rs 80 lakh – more than five times what she used to get before her debut film.



“The Movie has done very well. I have to do a lot of hard work and enjoy the years to come,” said Deepika.

And she says she owes it all to co-actor Shah Rukh Khan and director Farah Khan.

“I feel like I have a family in Bollywood. I can call them up anytime and they are there for me,” said Deepika.

But talking about real family, do we see Deepika teaming up with her legendary father Prakash Padukone for any brand endorsements in the future?

“I know what to go to dad for and what to not,” said Deepika adding, she would surely do an ad with him.

When asked on her opinion of veteran actor Manoj Kumar's grouse with Om Shanti Om spoofing him, the debutant said, “We didn’t intend to make fun of anyone. We didn’t intend to copy anyone and I don’t want to comment on anyone in particular".

Although 'Om Shanti Om' is an out-and-out Shah Rukh Khan film, newcomer Deepika Padukone shines through. Be it her grace, poise, dignity and class as a '70s diva or as the spunky contemporary girl in the latter half, the actress plays both roles with commendable finesse and elan.


The film, released Friday, had a phenomenal opening, thanks to the pre-release publicity.


The lovely Deepika, former world badminton champion Prakash Padukone's daughter, literally lights up the screen whenever she comes on. She holds her own in every frame, even when pitted against the larger-than-life superstar Shah Rukh. The newcomer has a beautiful smile and expressive eyes, which she uses to mirror the character's feelings.


"Deepika's performance is so good that you forget she is a newcomer. She is very fresh and her body language exudes oodles of confidence," says Anuradha, who saw the film on Diwali day.


"Shah Rukh's energetic performance is not able to overshadow Deepika. Her emoting is faultless. She carries off the '70s look as well as micro minis equally well," said Geetika Sahai.


While Shah Rukh's fans have lapped up the film, critics too have given favourable reviews. But most seem to have skipped commenting on the film's flaws. They have deliberately brushed its weaknesses under the carpet. But, never mind, the film on the whole is entertaining.


While in "Chak De! India", Shah Rukh slipped under the skin of his character and wowed with his stupendous performance, he disappoints in 'Om Shanti Om'. The superstar is repetitive and does overact at times in the first half. He needs to curtail his unwarranted superstar mannerisms even in a total masala film like 'Om Shanti Om'.


Apart from Deepika, another actor who makes an impact is Arjun Rampal. Farah Khan has done justice to the model-turned-actor by giving him a negative role in which he has proved his mettle. Arjun is able to bring the same kind of unscrupulous cold-blooded feel to his character just like villains of the early '70s.


He plots to kill Deepika, a successful actress who is secretly married to him, because she is pregnant and it poses a threat to his ambitions and career, and succeeds.


Talented Shreyas Talpade, as Shah Rukh's chum, is equally impressive.


'Om Shanti Om' is entertaining, but script-wise weak. Director Farah Khan could have worked on the script a little more to make the takeoff on the '70s golden era funnier. The imitation and spoofs are enjoyable, though at times weak. The finer details of that era are missing.


The film doesn't look like an ode to the golden era of Bollywood, as Farah claims it to be; rather it looks like a satire.

If you see Dhol and the other all-boys' comedies, you would agree dumbing -down is the order of the Friday.

Nevertheless Javed Akhtar's rhyming scheme in the track Dard-e-disco in Om Shanti Om comes as a bit of a shocker.

The lyric goes, " Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco…. Phirta hoon main New York, Paris, LA, San Francisco…Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco…Wohchhod gaya mujhe peechle mahiney ke 26 taarikh ko…Dil Mein mere hai dard-e-disco …

Er…. . It's the time to disco for Javed Saab. After Gulzar's dime-store prattle in Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom it's the the other bard's turn to get verse.

Laughs Javed Saab, "You must understand every song in a film has to go with the given situation and character. The dumbing-down, as you call it, in Dard-e-disco comes from the fact that the guy who sings it, a is a bit of silly goose, not exactly intellectually equipped to sprout poetry.

In the film-within-a-film in Om Shanti Om it's shown that the hero (played by Shah Rukh) insists that an absurd song be composed for him to sing and dance on stage.

While writing lines I had to constantly keep reminding myself that the song wasn't for Shah Rukh but the character that the Star plays in a film within the film. We had to constantly keep checking my poetry to make sure it didn't sound intelligent. Every time I'd come up with a poetic image I'd be shouted down. "

We've had instances of lyricists trying to sound more poetic than they are capable of being. This is the first occasion when a poet actually had to scale down his skills to accommodate the character's intellect.
