Bollywood Gossip - Katrina skirts another controversy
Friday, May 30, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : Katrina Kaif has just returned from Egypt after shooting a song with her favourite co-star, Akshay Kumar, for the keenly awaited Singh Is Kinng.

And while Katrina is delighted with the way the song has shaped up, she is even more charmed by Egypt and its culture.

"It's among the most beautiful countries I have visited - the pyramids, the temples and the landscape are absolutely exotic. I even enjoyed the barbecue dinner on a boat on the Nile. We shot in a number of places and I've come back with fond memories of my trip."

Ask her about the song she shot, Jee Karda, she smiles, "Wait and watch. It should be on air later this month. We shot at 4am every day to capture the light and it was scorching. To keep cool we would stay in shades and sip fruit juice or mint tea."

But her recent tour to the African land almost got into trouble when local police reportedly arrived at the scene and objected to Katrina’s outfit that exposed her bare legs while she was shooting against the backdrop of the great pyramids along with Akki.

Egypt is predominantly a Muslim nation and revealing outfits are not accepted in public places.

According to reports director Anees Bazmee, who was determined to shoot at the pyramids, managed to get the matter resolved with the help of others. And another skirt controversy was successfully skirted.

Bollywood Gossip - "I'm not playing Mujibur Rahman" says Amitabh Bachchan
Monday, May 5, 2008
Amitabh Bachchan [ Click here for more pictures ]

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 - Multiplex say "NO" Tashan
Bollywood Photo Gallery > Tashan
Sizzling Kareena Kapoor in Tashan


Bollywood Gossips : Yash Raj Films' much-awaited action thriller Tashan has opened in a select few cinema halls.

Multiplexes are waging a battle on who gets the most the distributor or the producer.

PVR Cinemas and Inox in Mumbai are not screening the film. In Delhi too mulitplexes like Adlabs and PVR have said a straight no.

"We had asked Inox, Fame and Adlabs multiplexes to give 60 per cent of the revenue collected in the first week. Tashan is a film that will easily earn enough revenues for the multiplexes and us. I don't think the increase in revenue percentage is too high," said Sanjeev Kohli, CEO of Yash Raj Films.

Amitabh Vardhan, CEO, PVR Cinemas, said: "As of now we don't have the film. As far as the revenue sharing is concerned, I would not like to comment on that."

Arijit Dutta, a Kolkata-based exhibitor-distributor, is more forthright.

"I don't understand why we have to pay higher revenue when the business in Kolkata is 10 times less than other metros. This year revenue has been hiked by 12 percent here, whereas Mumbai and Delhi multiplexes were asked to pay only two per cent more," said Dutta.

Till Friday morning none of the parties had reached any agreement and the film has opened in only single screen theatres. Apart from them, the Waves and Spice multiplexes are having shows of the film.

The Krishna Acharya directed film starring Kareena, Saif, Akshay and Anil Kapoor is an edge of the seat thriller.

Bollywood Gossip - Kangana made Udita split ??
Bollywood Gossip : There is trouble in paradise, between Mohit Suri and Udita Goswami.

Both of them had heated arguments on the growing friendship between Mohit and Kangana, who is shooting with Mohit in his film 'Raaz - The Mystery Continues'.

Mohit and Kangana are spending a lot of time both on and off the sets and that has made Udita insecure. Udita rubbishes this by saying that these are just rumors, and added that Kangana should not be dragged into this just because she is working with Mohit.

Earlier, Udita had created a scene during the shoot of 'Woh Lamhe', and the reason was Kangana even then. Mohit and Udita have been in a serious relationship since 2005, when she starred in his movie, 'Zeher'.

Bollywood Gossip - Now this is Two much Aishwarya!!!
Sunday, April 13, 2008
Bollywood Gossips : Just when we thought Shankar's Robot was all set to go on floors came a bad news that Bollywood Actress Aishwarya Rai might eventually pull out of the ambitious project given the director's plans to shoot the film over a period of two years.

That apparently is not acceptable to Ash who cannot afford to give so much of time to a project.

There are also news doing rounds about Deepika Padukone's inclusion into this sci-fi Rajni starrer.

Shankar and Rajnikant are very fond of Ash, who made her acting debut in Shankar’s film ‘Jeans’. Since then, the director has approached Ash for every single film he has made except ‘Boys’, but every time Ash has turned him down for one reason or another.

It remains to be seen if she has turned him down again for ‘Robot’.


Aishwarya Rai Bachchan


We hear, the actress has already asked Rohan Sippy to start his film Happy Birthday which stars John Abraham besides her due to delays in Robot.

However some insiders maintain that Robot is getting delayed due to security reasons and not Aishwarya refusal.

The major hurdle in rolling the project, which will be shot at different locales in India and overseas, is that the areas have to be scanned from the security point of view. Both Rajnikanth and Ash come under a high protection security network.

Post wedding, Ash’s security has beenoverhauled. All her shoot locales are now thoroughly scanned by the producers and rest of the crew.

Reportedly, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was promised Rs 4 crore for Robot which is slated to be a bilingual venture - both in Hindi and Tamil.

Bollywood Gossip - My conscience is clear says Rakesh Roshan
Hrithik Roshan

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 Gossip - Celina 'abused' by Pak cricketers
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Bollywood Gossip - This certainly isn't cricket. Actress Celina Jaitley has alleged that cricketers from across the border abused her after she performed at an Indian Cricket League (ICL) match.

Bollywood Actress Celina Jaitley had finished her performance and was taking what she calls a "glory round" with her security personnel around the stadium, when she heard loud abuses in Hindi coming out of the players' enclosure.

"At first I couldn't believe where it was coming from. I still want to give them the benefit of doubt because it's so hard to believe they could behave this way," she said with a shudder, recalling that she wanted to rush back to her car and drive away from the nightmare.

"But I couldn't because the security guys wouldn't let me pass. So I was stuck listening to myself being described in the most colourful language," Celina Jaitley, who was seen in films like "No Entry" and "Shakalaka Boom Boom" said.

The ex-Miss India refuses to lay the blame on anyone for the abusive incident, but she does admit that she recognises the Pakistani players because she had participated in a TV interview with them for a sports channel.

She said, "But what hurts and offends me more is the fact that people from our own country have chosen to speak on behalf of those who abused me. As they say, I am 'just another Bollywood actress'. Fine. Does that mean I don't command even the respect that other woman get?"

All in all it hasn't been a very pleasant Easter and Holi weekend for Celina.

"I attended my producer Kumar Mangatji's Holi bash Saturday and then having ensured that I wasn't required for shooting Sunday, I left for Delhi for the ICL, tired and irritable. I had no clue what was waiting for me. And to top it all, I had observed Lent this Easter and was very weak and depleted. This wasn't what I expected," Celina said.

Celina is a child of a mixed marriage. Her father is a Punjabi and her mother is an Afghan.

Bollywood Gossip - Bollywood actors Abhishek - Aishwarya refused to represent LG as brand ambassadors.
Saturday, March 8, 2008
Bollywood's hottest couple Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai refused to represent LG as brand ambassadors for all their products across-the-board.

The company had made them an eye-popping offer.

Reason? He didn't want to be even remotely unfaithful to another cell-phone manufacturing company.

A source close to the Bachchans said: "LG was very keen to have Bollywood Actors Abhishek and Aishwarya to endorse their entire range of products across the line. It was a tempting and lucrative offer.

"LG's range of products included cell-phones and Abhishek is already endorsing Motorala cell phones. So he had to decline the offer. But he has received a letter from the company saying they would love to have him and his wife as brand ambassadors any time they so wish."

The Abhishek-Aishwarya pair won't be seen in any advertisement at the moment, but they are coming together in Mani Ratnam's next venture that goes to the floor as soon as Abhishek returns from Miami after filming Karan Johar's home production, Dostana.

The film is being directed by Tarun Mansukhani and also stars Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham.

At the moment Abhishek is working 20 hours a day to wrap up Rakeysh Mehra's Delhi 6, which completed a two-month schedule in Jaipur and is now being shot in Mumbai.
