Produced by Nadiadwala Grandsons Entertainment, the film is being directed by Siddharth Anand and features Ranbir Kapoor as lead opposite Priyanka.

People I trusted in Bollywood misguided me: Sneha Ullal

People I trusted in Bollywood misguided me: Sneha UllalSneha Ullal was known as the Aishwarya Rai-lookalike when she entered the film world but the actress is now keen to carve a niche for herself.
After featuring in spooky thriller ‘Click’, she feels it’s time she proved her calibre to people who misguided her when she first came to Bollywood.
I need a film like ‘Lucky’ (her debut vehicle) to make a comeback; then I can show what I can do,’ Sneha told IANS.
‘Now it’s time I prove myself because there are a lot of people who misguided me in Bollywood whom I trusted. I never knew.
Bollywood is like that, you know,’ she said. The young actress has already signed two Hindi movies, including one opposite Akshay Kumar.
‘I am doing a film with Ashok Tyagi where Akshay Kapoor is my co-star and there is another film with Shubir Mukherjee.
The film is being launched by Joy Mukherjee’s son Sujoy. One of them is a thriller, the other is a love story and both are expected to release later this year,’ said Sneha. Sneha made her debut in 2005 opposite Salman Khan and her second release was ‘Aryan: Unbreakable’ (2006) with Sohail Khan. After that she moved down south and featured in Telugu films like ‘Nenu Meeku Telusa…?’ and ‘Ullasanga Utsahanga’ . ‘I have done three films in the south and the fourth is releasing in April. In the south, people are very genuine. They will tell you the right things. I had rejected one film because I was not comfortable kissing on screen.‘Two months later, I got another film and I called the same director, whose film I had rejected, for some guidelines and he guided me properly. It’s unlike Bollywood. Here people will misguide you and take you in the wrong direction. That’s what happened with me,’ said Sneha. The 22-year-old feels she owes a lot to southern cinema. ‘I won’t stop doing films in the south ever. It teaches you how to be an actor…how to be a lady. I don’t know about Bollywood as I haven’t done much work here.’

Bipasha is special for bollywood male actors!

She is a friend in need and is a good listener who lends him constant support. Bipasha Basu is just a call away whenever Ranbir Kapoor needs to bare his heart.

ranbir kapoor,bipasha basu

But their friendship is not new; it started during the days of Bachna Ae Haseeno and has grown stronger ever since. A source tells a daily that whenever Ranbir wants to unwind or is looking for a quiet dine-out with a friend, he just calls up Bipasha.

 

The sexy lady of Bollywood is also a good friend of Ajay Devgan and together they get along like a house on fire. So what makes Bips so special as a friend, especially for male actors? Is it something that John Abraham needs to worry about?

 

Certainly not! John knows about it and has no problems, claim sources. Bips likes Ranbir and thinks he will be ‘No. 1’ someday.

Good friends never let you down!

Shahid, Kareena interacted each other at Shah Rukh’s party.

One time lovers Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor are known for ignoring each other ar award functions and other parties, however at a recent party hosted by SRK, both ex-lovers exchanged pleasantries thanks to director Karan Johar.

kareena-shahid

 

A source present at the party says, “Shahid and Kareena came face to face and everyone thought they would simply ignore each other like they have done on many occasions in the past. But this time, Karan happened to be present right there and instead of marching past each other, they slowed down for a bit. And the rest, as they say, is history.”

 

Kareena and Shahid kept talking for a long time and were later joined by Saif Ali Khan who also acknowledged and shared pleasantries with Shahid.

The source adds, “Shahid and Kareena have finally decided to leave their acrimonious past behind them. This was very evident in the manner all three of them – Shahid, Kareena and Saif – interacted with each other at Shah Rukh’s party.”

 

Kareena’s official representative did not confirm the news, but said, “Kareena has no problem with anybody, including Shahid.” ]

Shahrukh message box is choked with 1500 messages.

This is for anyone who is wondering why Shah Rukh Khan, who usually replies promptly to text messages, seems not to be responding these days. No, he hasn’t forgotten his manners - his phone is giving him a lot of trouble. Apparently, his handset is acting up and remains inoperable for hours at a stretch.

shahrukh khan

A source close to him said, “Shah Rukh is known to reply to each and every message he gets barring those from press people he doesn’t want to interact with. But his phone has almost conked off for the last few days. He is busy promoting his film My Name Is Khan and very tied up, but he will get it repaired in a day or two.”

 

The source reveals, “He has been getting feedback about the film from distributors, exhibitors, people from the media and his friends in the industry. His message box is choked with over 1500 messages.

 

This is also one of the reasons his phone has hung. He is also missing out on the collection readings the distributors are sending him. He has to constantly use a staff member’s phone to call Karan Johar to find out the box office progress of the film.”

 

Aishwarya Rai’s pregnant pause!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been trying to become a mother for some time now. The fact that she has so far not gotten pregnant is actually a cause for concern for the entire Bachchan parivar.

Aishwarya-Rai


According to a close family friend, though outwardly the family may have taken the when-it-happens-it-will-happen stand, but within, there’s a very ardent desire to have an heir for the family as soon as possible.

Mr Bachchan is especially sold on a grandson, but when asked about it he says, as usual, “When it happens, it will happen.”

But the question that is really bothers the family and their close friends is - when? After all, it’s no secret that Aishwarya is 37, and she isn’t getting any younger.

But it now comes to light that the reason for her inability to bear a child at the moment is because she has been suffering from stomach tuberculosis for a while. Says a source, “The medication Aishwarya is taking for her stomach ailment is hampering her from getting pregnant. Until the tuberculosis is fully cured, she is unlikely to risk a pregnancy.”

On his blog, an anguished Amitabh Bachchan has written about ‘the rich man’s TB’, dispelling the myth that the disease only afflicts the less privileged. Now that the supposed reason for the delay in her pregnancy is clearer, we can only hope and pray that the Bachchan bahu speedily recovers from the ailment and fulfills her ardent desire to become a mother.

 

Hrithik,Barbara intimate scenes edited in Hindi version

We might belong to the land of the Kama Sutra but Rakesh Roshan wants to take no chances with his home production Kites.

hrithik-roshan_barbara-mori___155082

After approaching Raju Hirani and finally getting Brett Ratner to edit the film, Roshan has decided to considerably do away with the intimate scenes between Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori in the Hindi version on the instance of Ratner who is editing the film’s English version.

A source from the production unit reveals, “The film has an English as well as a Hindi version. As the intimate scenes between Hrithik and Barbara are way too bold for the Indian audience, Brett asked Rakesh Roshan to either completely delete or at least water down the passionate scenes in the Hindi version.”

“Brett Ratner was especially called to re-edit Kites. He was got in to cater to the international audience. Being an expert, Ratner gave his suggestion as he understands the mindset of the Indian audience very well. Also, the intimate scenes between Hrithik and Barbara should not become the talk of the town especially after rumours of their alleged affair. Rakesh Roshan is now making the necessary changes” adds the source. Says Rakesh Roshan, “My films are made for a family audience. There are no intimate or lovemaking scenes in Kites.”

Kareena refuses to share with Shahid

Since the time Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor parted ways, Boney Kapoor’s project ‘Milenge Milenge’ has been suffering setbacks. First, the film has been out rightly delayed. Next, Boney Kapoor’s plans for shooting a promotional video for the film with Shahid and Kareena went berseck as Kareena went on her size-zero spree and the promoters of the film had to give up the idea. The promotional song had already been recorded with Himesh Reshammiya and as per the sources, now this song will be shot on Shahid and a new girl.

 

kareena,shahid

The latest headache for the producer has been the fact that Kareena has refused to come together and share the stage with Shahid Kapoor for the promotion of the film. She is ready to promote the film but sans Shahid.

The producers of the film are in a fix with Kareena’s unprofessional attitude. Dear Kareena, linkups or breakups, professional commitments should always come before personal preferences!

 

Deepika keen to work with Ranbir

Ex lovers in Bollywood are never known to show a spark of their former chemistry on the silver screen after splitting up. The likes of Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and other couples who were once an item have often spoken of the possibility of working together again, but the possibility hasn’t materialized yet.

deepika_ranbir

However, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor toe a different line, it seems. In a latest interview, Deepika has made it clear that she has no problem working with Ranbir again after Bachna Ae Haseeno, provided there is a script interesting and challenging enough.

 

“I would love to work with Ranbir,” Deepika is quoted to have said. Deepika added that she and Ranbir are too professional to let their personal equations affect their profession.

 

It may be recalled that after the split a few months back, Ranbir too had expressed his wish to be with Deepika again.

 

However, the duo has mutually decided to work only if the script “inspires” them. Hopefully, someone in B-Town would come up with such a script soon.

Katrina’s Sis Isabel Kaif MMS Scandal

Isabel Kaif MMS Video Scandal-Isabel Kaif sister of Katrina Kaif, is the latest victim of MMS Scandal. A 10 minute clip of a girl who resembles Isabel Kaif is doing the rounds on the Internet.

 A sexy MMS clip featuring a girl with facial resemblance to Katrina Kaifs younger sister Isabelle has reportedly become a hot searched item in the UK and India. Katrina Sister Isabel Kaif Sex Video Leaked  10-katrina-kaifs-sister-Isabel-Kaif-sex-video-mms-clip-leaked-emailbookmarking.blogspot.com

 

Of course, the clip could be a fake and even possibly the following comment from a source apparently close to the Kaifs:

“Truthfully, it was quite shocking to digest the fact that it was indeed Isabel in the video. She was being groomed by both Salman and Katrina for her debut.

And Kat had even begun to take her sister along to several events in the city to familiarise her with the industry. Katrina had even enrolled Isabel in the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York – an institute that has produced numerous acting talents in Hollywood.”

Aamir Khan beats Shahrukh Khan

It was not expected but the late release of My Name Is Khan in Maharashtra, Mumbai particularly, caused the movie a loss of approximately Rs 2.75 to 3 crore. And thus the movie failed to beat last year’s super hit 3 Idiots, starring Aamir Khan.

 aamir-srk-3

As reported, the first weekend business of the Shahrukh Khan-starrer is estimated to be Rs 29.50 crore approx in India while the movie collected Rs 25 crore from the overseas market resulting in the grand total of Rs 54.50 crore. Whereas the overall first weekend collection of ‘3 Idiots’ was about Rs 56 crore. It grossed around Rs 37.50 crore approx in India and Rs 18.50 crore from overseas.

The mammoth figures establish the two movies as top runners in the box office race. Though ‘My Name Is Khan’ is creating ripples at overseas BO, on the home front the audience response is not as overwhelming as it was during the time of ‘3 Idiots’. In fact, the collection of ‘My Name Is Khan’ has started showing a drip on single screens.

Coming to Striker, the movie has managed to collect approx Rs 1.25 crore over the week, a flop. Ishqiya proved its mettle and did an average business in its second week. The film’s total collection is approx Rs 21 crore, including second week’s collection. However, the movie’s business would suffer because of ‘My Name Is Khan’.

This week’s major release is the Tabu-starrer comedy Toh Baat Pakki.

Kangana Ranaut, Dino Morea caught kissing?

 
Call it the Valentine effect or just the bonhomie between two colleagues. Kangana Ranaut and Dino Morea got along like a house on fire at the second wedding anniversary of actor Sanjay Dutt and his wife Manyata on Friday.

A tabloid has splashed images of Dino and Kangana getting intimate with each other. In the snaps, the duo is shown kissing each other, but whether it was a full-blown smooch or just a peck on the cheek isn’t visibly clear. However, what’s apparent is that even if it was just a peck, it must have been a smacker.

The report says Dino and Kangana bonded well during the party which was attended by many other celebs including Shilpa Shetty, Sunil Shetty and Fardeen Khan. The twosome chatted animatedly throughout the course of the party and shared many a laugh.

And when it was time to leave, Dino hugged Kangana and planted a kiss. Going by the reaction of Kangana in the snap, there’s more to the kiss than just a goodbye peck. 

Deepika looking stunning on the Maxim cover page

Post her break-up, her critics were writing her off for looking too thin. Now all those need a reality check as here is Deepika Padukone, looking fuller and curvaceous than before, and stunning as usual on the cover page of Maxim February issue.

Don’t know what’s the secret? May be the actress has taken all the comments in a positive stride and has worked on her body. Whatever the reason, the outcome is a sensuous mag cover. Though black makes one look slimmer but that’s not the case here. For the cover, focus is on Deepika’s close-up and the black dress which she is wearing highlights her natural curves.

And since some like it hot, Maxim doesn’t want to disappoint its fans. Deepika’s oomph factor lies in her wavy tresses and natural make-up which adds to the glamour of the cover.

My Name is Khan Sets New Box Office Record

Shahrukh Khan silent on Pune blast

Terrorism doesn't usually concern Bollywood but the recent bomb blast at the German Bakery in Pune couldn't have come at a worst time for the Maharashtra Government and Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan.

Rani and Vidya scare away 'Jessica'

Now that's weird. There is not a single established actress in Bollywood who wants to play the role of Jessica in Aamir director Raj Kumar Gupta's next, No One Killed Jessica. But they have a valid reason. The pivotal roles in the movie are divided between Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan and the character Jessica gets killed in the beginning of the movie. So, whoever opts for that role will have very little to show – talent, I mean.

Rani and Vidya scare away 'Jessica'

I have list of names of actresses in my mind who are sitting idle at home and should take up this role. But why would I reveal any? I'm not the casting director. And so, Raj Kumar Gupta has decided to cast a fresh face for the role of Jessica. Good, now the old generation of actresses will have some competition!

Kaakha Kaakha goes to Hindi

Kollywood's master filmmaker Gautam Menon's super hit police story Kaakha Kaakha (2003), which was remade in Telugu as Gharshana with Venkatesh and Asin in the lead roles, will be remake in Hindi with John Abraham as the hero.

john-abraham

Making his directorial debut with Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, Gautam Menon earlier approached Sunny Deol and Fardeen Khan for the lead role, before John gave his nod for the Hindi version which will be produced by Vipul Shah.

"The film was announced in 2007, but after things didn’t materialise between Gautam and Sunny, it was put on hold. Later, Feroze Khan bought the rights of the film and wanted to cast his son Fardeen in the lead role. After he expired, the film was shelved indefinitely before John came to the rescue. The film will hit the floors later this year,” a source was quoted as saying.

Shahrukh Khan's ‘nude scans’ don't exist

On the BBC chat show, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan made a comment that has spiralled into a mini controversy. Talking to the host about the tight security measures at Heathrow Airport, Shahrukh said he was embarrassed by the body-scanning machines which scan the outline of a person’s body and he even claimed that he signed the printouts of his scans for the female staff at the airport.

 shahrukh khan nude scans

“I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans...I was a little scared. Something happens (inside the scans), and I came out. Then I saw these girls - they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said 'give them to me' - and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them,” SRK had said.

Khan’s revelation raised many a brow as the scans are not made public nor printed out.

According to the BAA (formerly referred to as British Airports Authority) spokeswoman, SRK’s claims “simply could not be true” and are “completely incorrect” because the body scanning machines do not have the facility of printouts, and that the body scans are neither stored digitally nor distributed to anyone in any form.

Perhaps SRK’s comment about the printouts of his scans was just made in jest.

Bipasha Basu wants to play a junkie!

After much deliberation, Rohan Sippy has zeroed down on the actress he wants to play a junkie in the film ‘Dum Maro Dum’. Contrary to the rumours, it’s not Kangana Ranaut but Bipasha Basu.

bipasha basu sexy bollywood actress pictures120210

 

According to Rohan, Bipasha has the pizzazz and oomph to carry off the role of a junkie in Goa. And though the movie’s title reminds one of the song ‘Dum Maro Dum’ from Dev Anand’s movie ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’, Sippy says the similarities end there only. He also clarifies that Bipasha’s character is not modelled on that of Zeenat Aman who played a junkie in the 1971 film.

Set to hit the floors in two weeks, ‘Dum Maro Dum’ will have Bipasha pairing with Telugu star Rana Daggubati. Abhishek Bachchan plays the lead role and the supporting cast comprises of Pratik and Aditya Pancholi.

 Kangana Ranaut apparently did not sign the film because she didn’t want to work with her ex boyfriend Aditya Pancholi.

Shahid found his suitable heroine

Finally, Pankaj Kapur can heave a sigh of relief. For if the latest buzz is to go by, his long search for finding a suitable heroine opposite beta Shahid Kapoor in his directorial debut Mausam has ended.

The girl who has finally bagged the role is - Sonam Kapoor.

shahid_kapoor_007

 

Earlier Kapur had announced that he was looking for a fresh female face for the film, which is based on an out-and-out romantic story. Many girls, including Govinda’s gorgeous daughter Narmada, Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter Sonakshi Sinha and even the ‘Rocket Singh’ girl Shazahn Padamsee were auditioned. But none seemed to have impressed the Kapur senior.

Himself a terrific actor, Pankaj reportedly wanted a girl who not just had good looks but could also act well. The search eventually ended at Sonam, who has already done two films (Saawariya and Delhi 6).

Though an official confirmation is still awaited, it’s believed that everyone in the film’s unit, from producers to creative team, approved of Sonam as Shahid’s heroine in the film.

Aishwarya Rai's humane touch

Aishwarya Rai's humane touchOn Monday, a shoot involving Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan was supposed to take at a suburban mall. The entire mall was to be cordoned off for the entire day.
That would have brought business to a standstill and resulted in a huge loss for the shop owners. But Aishwarya stepped in and saved the day for the shop owners.
She asked her producer to cordon off only the area where the shoot was taking place and let business run in the other sections of the mall.
Aishwarya was shooting for Vipul Shah’s Action Replay and she was doing the portions in which she had to sport an old lady’s get-up.
Vipul was extra cautious about not revealing her look. So his production team told him to book the mall for the entire day.A source says, “On Ash’s insistence, the makers cordoned off only a certain portion of the mall. But when word spread that Ash was in the mall, people in huge numbers wanted to get a glimpse of her.Vipul and Ash pleaded to the people to let them shoot. Ash promised the people that she would catch up with them post the shoot and she did it by posing for around 250 pictures with fans. In between shots, Ash herself took the onus of covering her face fully thereby not revealing her look.”Vipul says, “We wanted to hide her look and that’s why we were discreet. It’s a big-budget film. To protect the look I will have to take adequate precautions so that it doesn’t get photographed and is leaked out. Ash was very warm with the people after pack up and she clicked many photographs with them.”

Vidya Balan fascinated by Naseeruddin

Vidya Balan is fascinated with the poetic wooing style of old-timer Naseeruddin Shah rather than wickedly funny guy Arshad Warsi in Vishal Bhardwaj’s protégé Abhishek Chaubey’s directorial debut ‘Ishqiya’. Talking about the difference in the approach of both her lovers in the movie, Vidya informs, “Arshad’s character is a typical guy for whom love is the way to get sex and Naseer saab’s character is more old school.”

Vidya Balan fascinated by Naseeruddin

She continues, “Krishna is not apologetic about her needs. She gets attracted to Arshad’s character and there is a certain culmination to it. With Naseer saab she enjoys that attention. He woos her in a classical way.” No wonder Vidya falls for Naseeruddin Shah when he woos her with ‘Dil toh bachcha hai ji’.
Ask her how she would like to be wooed in real life she admits, “Fortunately or unfortunately I love the Naseer saab kind of romance, someone who woos with beautiful words and poetry. It’s old school filmy style. I don’t mind when a man opens a door for me or pulls out the chair for me. That chivalry is there in his character though in a different way because it’s a rural setting.”

An eyewitness reveals, "Dressed in jeans and a tee, Katrina was accompanied by her manager and bodyguards. She had come to catch Ishqiya. After the show, at around 10.30 pm, she came out and was trying to call her driver to get the car. Being a weekend there was a lot of traffic."

The source continues, "Even after trying several times, Katrina was unable to get through to the driver. Apparently he had parked her SUV in the basement and there was a problem with the network connectivity. By this time, people recognised her and a crowd started gathering. Thinking quickly, Katrina made her way to the road and hailed a rickshaw. She got into one with her manager while her bodyguards got into another and followed her."
