Soha’s love interest Kunal seems 

‘strange choice’ for Sharmila!

Even though Saif Ali Khan is frantically trying to uplift the sagging Box Office fortunes of his kid sister Soha Ali Khan’s beau Kunal Khemu by producing a film for him, mother Sharmila Tagore is completely oblivious of her darling daughter’s love life! 

Apparently, Sharmila didn’t even know about Soha’s relationship status until the latter spoke to her.Talking to a daily on how she disclosed her love life to Sharmila, Soha said, “Actually, amma didn`t really know who Kunal Khemu was! She hadn`t seen his work or his films. But she had once come to the sets of ‘99’ (in which Soha starred with Kunal). At that time, we were shooting a scene where Kunal was only in a pink-coloured bath robe. So, when I told her about me and Kunal, she asked `Who is Kunal Khemu?` Then I explained, `Amma, remember the guy in that pink bath robe that day? It`s him.` She said, `Umm... okay! Strange choice!`”

“So she didn`t really know him, but she`s got to know him and his work now, over the past one-and-a-half years, and the two get along really well now,” chipped in the actress.

When enquired her father’s reaction to her dating Kunal, Soha added, “Oh no no. He knows that I am a grown up and feels that it`s me who has to live with the person I marry, so as long as I am happy, he`s fine. Dad`s very supportive and loving, but he doesn`t really get involved in my personal life beyond a point. You know, you expect your mom to be the bridge between you and your dad. In college days, I remember, dad would talk to me about `How are money matters? Whether I was okay with the money I have or I want more? And also whether my studies are going well? With mom I used to discuss more personal matters.”

Talking of private life, both Soha and Saif have been honest about their relationships. “No, it`s just that we feel there`s nothing secretive about being in a relationship with someone. Even our parents were very open and vocal about their relationship. That too in an era when a Hindu and a Muslim being together was such a taboo. So I guess, we`ve learnt it from them,” finally said the actress before signing off.

Sreesanth to marry Riya Sen? 

Bowling V/s Acting

 

Young Indian fast bowler Sreesanth's parents have been constantly pressurizing the cricketer to tie the knot as early as possible and as a result, Sreesanth too has decided to fulfil his parents' wishes!

According to the latest buzz, Sreesanth has decided to marry Bollywood actress Riya Sen, whom he has been dating for a while now. Reportedly, Riya and Sreesanth came closer while doing a commercial for a jewellery brand.

However, Sreesanth has denied the rumour of his affair with Riya Sen. "I am not seeing Riya Sen. There is no romance between us. We have been hanging around together and I enjoy her company, but only as a friend," Sreesanth said. Riya also rubbished the rumours on her Twitter page, saying that Sreesanth is "just a good friend".

Notably, Riya, from the famous Sen family of Kolkatta, was spotted supporting Kochi Tuskers Kerala (KTK) at the DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai, on April 13, instead of supporting her home team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). It is said that the ‘Sreesanth factor’ had drawn her to support the Tuskers.

Riya Sen made a sensational entry in Kollywood with ace Bharathi Raja’s Taj Mahal and she has also acted in a few Malayalam films, including Santhosh Sivan’s Anandhabadram.

Not one but two young women in Salman Khan’s life now! Secret

Not one but two young women in 

Salman Khan’s life now! Secret

No matter how old he turns, Salman Khan will always continue to woo women with his charm. Considering he is already 40 something, the flamboyant star still looks as young as ever and has an envious v-shaped body to flaunt. 


The latest buzz that is doing rounds is not something incredible. But yes, the ‘Dabangg’ superstar attracts women, especially the younger lot like a magnet. If rumours are to be believed, junior shotgun aka Sonakshi Sinha and curly haired beauty Kangna Ranaut are apparently getting too close to Sallu mian.

And arguably the most desirable and eligible bachelor, Salman has swept these too women off their feet. So much so that the ‘Dabangg’ hottie has been relentlessly giving the magnanimous Khan company on the sets of his latest flick ‘Bodyguard’. Even Kangna leaves no stone unturned to ensure she makes most of the opportunities that come her way to be with the fearless actor.

Well…no matter whom this Khan eventually ends up choosing as his lady, we are sure his fans are desperately waiting to see Sallu tie the nuptial soon.

But will he?

Nana’s police taste opens India Gate for Shagird’s shoot

Nana’s police taste opens India Gate for Shagird’s shoot

B-town Irresistible Nana – the proud Maharashtrian actor recently gave the unit of his forthcoming ‘Shagird’ a reason to pat his back while the Delhi police clapped.

The story is Nana Patekar's rapport with police made it possible for the maker of 'Shahgird' Tigmanshu Dhullia to receive blanket permission to shoot at delhi’s hot spot locations for important portions of the film which includes India Gate. Because of the good relations Nana Patekar shared with the police, he got blanket permission to shoot at these locations. The long procedures of paper work and permissions were saved, not on this the Delhi Police force extended great help and security towards the veteran actor.

Tigmanshu Dhulia says, “ While shooting for the film I usually found Police to be very warm to Nana Patekar. I thought for a long time it was because they love him as an actor. However later I realised that he had a very special bond and thus permissions never were an hassle for us.

Not many know the fact that Nana Patekar has studied Figurative Art from J J School of Arts. He has always been very fond of art since childhood and was planning to pursue a career in the same field. Although destiny had something else in store for him and he found himself doing good theatre.

Nana Patekar continued with his sketching in a very productive manner. He started to help the police force and worked closely with them during the Mumbai Riots which was of great help to them. Even post the Mumbai Riots, Nana offered help to the police as and when required. He worked as an undercover cop for the Mumbai Police.

In his upcoming film Shagird, Nana plays the character of ACP Hanumant Singh based in Delhi.

'Shagird', directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, will showcase Nana at his best and is set to release on the 13th May, 2011

Darsheel Safary : Rs. 80 lakh to Rs. 1 crore!

Darsheel Safary : Rs. 80 lakh to Rs. 1 crore!

If trade figures are anything to go by, 14-year-old Darsheel Safary is currently the highest paid child star in Bollywood.

According to reliable sources, the young actor, who is just three films old, including his upcoming Zokkomon, draws from anything between R 80 lakh to R 1 crore for each film assignment he signs. Not just that, he even endorses half-a-dozen products and charges approximately R 50 lakh for each.

But all this money talk isn't something that interests him. "I don't know about the money. My parents deal with it. I'm too young to handle all that. I just concentrate on my studies and my passion for acting. As for what I'd like to do with the money, I'll think about it when I'm a little older and wiser. By then, I'll also have made up my mind about the career I eventually plan to pursue and the kind of investment that goes into it."

Unlike most children his age, Darsheel surprisingly doesn't believe in the concept of pocket money. "I don't need it," he retorts. "My parents provide me with everything. Whenever I wish to eat in my school canteen, they give me the money I ask for. They've never stopped me from doing anything I like."

The actor, who made his debut with Taare Zameen Par (2007), which was also Aamir Khan's directorial debut, has just passed his class eight examination. And till school doesn't reopen, he has no plans to think about the subjects he'll be introduced to in class nine. "I've opted for a specialisation in commerce," he says. "But right now, vacations are on. I skate and play cricket and football. I'm also busy promoting Zokkomon, which involves a lot of travelling. I'm planning a screening for my school friends; they're very kicked about it."

Even though Darsheel started really young, he seems to have got all his basics right. Like most adult actors in Bollywood, he too is known to seek actor-producer-director Aamir Khan's blessings before signing a project. "My parents and I speak to Aamir uncle for suggestions all the time," he says, adding, "I idolise him because he's so sharp and intelligent. He knows everything like the back of his hand. When I finish my exams, I give him a call and we chat. I think he also adores me as much as I adore him."

Make Ajay Devgn 'manly' without injections & steroids : Body Competition

MAKE AJAY DEVGN 'MANLY' WITHOUT INJECTIONS & STEROIDS : BODY COMPETITION :

That was the brief Rohit Shetty gave to help achieve Devgn's tough-as-nails look in 'Singham'
To achieve his beefy look in Rohit Shetty's Singham, Ajay Devgn worked on looking "manly". Says the director, "We've tried to achieve for AJ the physique of a man who could bash up 20 people, if he so wished. It's not a six-pack look. Anybody can achieve that with injections and steroids.

The manliness has to come through as he plays a tough cop who is from a village on the Maharashtra-Goa border. It is a raw action film filled with hand-to-hand combat scenes, something one rarely gets to see in movies in this day and age of high-tech gadgetry. Ajay's trainer Prashant Sawant is putting him through the paces."

Adds Prashant, "We trained for three months. Ajay plays a very tough cop. He needed to look the part by losing weight, developing more cuts on his body and appear more lean and muscular.

After training daily for a hour and a half, I oversaw his diet and made sure he maintained a high-protein low-carb diet every three hours. I then had him do a rigorous combination of weights and circuit super sets that incorporated all techniques including pushups and pull-ups."

Ask the trainer if it took time for Ajay to build this physique and pat comes the reply, "It didn't take him much time, Ajay has a great body and he has always been a fitness freak. It's not difficult for him to maintain it."

No more 'Welcome To The Jungle' for Hrithik & Zayed : We are Family

No more 'Welcome To The Jungle' for

Hrithik & Zayed : We are Family

Hrithik Roshan starrer Welcome To The Jungle has been shelved. Announced close to a couple of years back, the film was supposed to feature Hrithik in the role of a wildlife explorer. However the film is now no more happening and the reason cited for that is change in market dynamics over a period of time which has impacted the feasibility of bringing it on floors.

"The film was special as it was a family reunion of sorts for Hrithik as well as Zayed Khan and Sanjay Khan (as the producer)", informs a source attached to the film, "Even though Hrithik hadn't signed on the dotted line, his personal relationship with Khans meant that there was no doubt around him featuring in the film."

In fact there was quite some noise made in 2009 around the film and Zayed was also supposed to act alongside Hrithik in this adventure tale. Also, Hrithik was taking personal interest in shaping his body differently for the film since due to its jungle setting; he was supposed to be seen mainly in shorts instead of designer clothes.

However, as things stand today, everyone connected with the project has moved on and picked up different assignments. Faruk Kabir, who was supposed to direct the film, made his debut with critically acclaimed Allah Ke Banday last year and is already working on another script. On the other hand, Zayed and Sanjay are working on an altogether different sports based subject. As for Hrithik, he is busy with his Agneepath remake.

"That's right, we have kept Welcome To The Jungle on a backburner", confirms Zayed, "It was a very big budgeted film and we had announced it in the time when 100 crores budget was a norm for any film. Guess what, sometimes even this sum looked small (chuckles). Today when the market is barely managing to revive itself, it made sense to keep things on hold for a whole before proceeding with such a budget." 

Glad to see someone being honest out there!

Bipasha v/s Sonam - The truth on 'The Italian Job' remake revealed

Bipasha v/s Sonam - The truth on 'The Italian Job' remake revealed

When 'Players', the Hindi remake of Hollywood hit 'The Italian Job' was announced, it was being looked at with keen interest that which Bollywood actress would be roped in to play the part of Charlize Theron. Reason being the heist action thriller had an all-men cast with Charlize being the sole leading lady. While Abhishek Bachchan and Neil Nitin Mukesh were finalized for the key parts, Sonam Kapoor being announced as the chosen one led to a conclusion that hunt for a leading lady was finally over.

"There was more to it though with Bipasha Basu coming into picture as well", says a source, "Suddenly the film became a two heroine film. Since Abbas-Mustan had clarified that Bipasha was not in the film for a cameo but instead a full fledged role, tongues started wagging around whether it would be her or Sonam who would be re-enacting the all-important part of Charlize."

As it has been revealed now, it is an all new part which has been written for Bipasha as the makers wanted to make the film much more glamorized. So while Sonam continues to fill Charlize's shoes, Bipasha too joins hands with all the boys and gets into an action mode.

Bipasha is taking it light though and says that she would have always opted for the part that she is currently doing rather than that of Sonam.

"See, 'The Italian Job' has been taken to an altogether different level by Abbas-Mustan for 'Players'", says Bipasha who has also worked with the director duo in her debut film 'Ajnabee' as well as her last big hit 'Race', "Every character is pretty much pivotal to the film. In any case, I love this role more than anything else. It is like a hero's role and I get to kick butt. Even boys in our film say that they would have loved to step in.

Wonder what does Sonam have to say about this?

John and Akshay sweat it out : Ready to Laughing

John and Akshay sweat it out

: Ready to Laughing :

We hear that Akshay Kumar and John Abraham bonded big time on the sets of their forthcoming film DESI BOYZ while shooting in London recently.

The common factor that keeps this chemistry kicking is their obsession with body sculpting. Both John Abraham and Akshay Kumar are known for their fitness regimes. So, according to sources, when Akshay and John were shooting together they would often work out together and take tips from each other regarding their fitness regimes.


Akshay and John have done the same earlier too when they worked together in GARAM MASALA. Now, DESI BOYZ has given them another chance to work together and bond over discussions over fitness routines and exchange tips from each other.

DESI BOYZ, will mark the directorial debut of Rohit Dhawan, the son of noted filmmaker David Dhawan. DESI BOYZ is produced by Akshay Kumar and also features Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh in the lead.

Sonam opens up on Deepika, Anushka, Sonakshi :

Sonam opens up on Deepika, Anushka, Sonakshi

In the world of Sonam Kapoor, all is well. Though from her generation there are other leading ladies like Deepika Padukone,Anushka Sharma and Sonakshi Sinha doing good for themselves, Sonam is unwilling to treat them as competition. As per her, all leading ladies in Bollywood can find their own place under the sun and it is irrelevant to pit them against each other. 

'We all have been there for some time now and trying to do our best. Why create a sense of war amongst any of us? I don't look at any kind of rivalry here. There is no point in comparing one with other here as eventually it is destiny that will help us move ahead', says Sonam who had debuted along with Deepika Padukone on the same day when her SAAWARIYA clashed with OM SHANTI OM. 

Vidya's 'Dum Maaro Dum' surprise

We reveal the part she's playing in it : Vidya  Balan

'Dum Maaro Dum' has been in the news for allegedly damaging Goa's reputation, that controversial item number by Deepika Padukone, and reports that Dev Anand and Zeenat Aman are upset because of the movie. But what's really new in the 'DMD' saga is that Vidya Balan is in the movie!

Reportedly, Vidya plays Abhishek Bachchan's wife in the film. The actors were paired together earlier in 'Paa', and that was a huge hit.
But Vids wasn't the original choice for the role in 'Dum Maaro Dum'. Apparently, the 'DMD' director and producers initially wanted Abhi's real-life better half Aishwarya Rai for the part.
So why did Ash say no? Apparently, Mr and Mrs Bachchan are being very particular about the movies they do together, post the not-so-great box office performance of 'Raavan'.  

THE SECRET OF A KHILADI :

THE SECRET OF A KHILADI : AKSHAY KUMAR

Of the many things that our B-town actors/actresses are following in the footsteps of their Hollywood counterparts, one of them is their pay packets. From meager amounts to the astronomical, there has been BIG changes in the going rates for our favourite heroes. Of course there are free flowing statements of well known or movie background actors getting more than their fare share but thus is the movie business.

But question who is getting the biggest slice of the income cake and you won't hear a Khan. In fact for quite some time now it has been none other than Khiladi Kumar, Akshay Kumar that has been earning the big bucks in B-town. But try to pry the amount that is reportedly at the 23 crores mark and he hides like the best kept secret most actors make it out to be. "I don’t even discuss my fee with my wife, Twinkle." said the actor when interviewed by Zoom recently. Whatever it may be, we know Akki delivers the goods. And more!

Latest update from ‘Murder 2’ side is that Bipasha as been replaced by Czech-Indian sizzler Yana Gupta. Basu said to had demanded a hefty price for featuring in the item song for the movie.

The below expectations performance of her last venture TEES MAAR KHAN not withstanding, Farah Khan has moved on and has finished the script of her new film which she will direct. This is certainly good news for all the fans of Farah Khan films who were very disappointed with lack of good script in her last outing, TEES MAAR KHAN, which had screenplay and dialogues by Shirish Kunder and his brother Ashmith.The director of super hit movies like MAIN HOON NA and OM SHANTI OM (which had scripts written by Farah Khan herself), confirmed that she has indeed finished work on the script of her new film and would be penning the dialogues soon, after which the pre-production of her new project starts. 

Farah also disclosed that since she is very busy (she is handling the choreography and production) with two of her husband's film, JOKER and the upcoming KICK, being produced under her own banner, so she would be unable to take out time for her own project and start the shooting of her fourth film only in 2012 and release it the same year. 

Indeed it's good news and we now await to hear the official announcement about the lead cast soon.

Mallika's next Hollywood release stuck:Bed luck

Mallika's next Hollywood release stuck:

Bed luck

Looks like Hollywood is not treating actress Mallika Sherawat well. First, it was her film Hisss that bombed at the Box - Office and now it is her next Hollywood project, Love, Barrack/Politics of Love, which is struggling to find distributors.

The film has been directed by William Dear and has a backdrop of the 2008 Presidential Election. Mallika in the film plays the role of Aretha Gupta who is an Obama-worshipping Democrat. The film has been stuck for the last few months as it fails to find a distributor for itself.

Reportedly, if the theatrical release doesn't take place, the film Love, Barrack/Politics of Love might go direct-to-DVD. This kind of issue is very common in the west. Even big Hollywood stars have faced these consequences.

A source reveals to Mid Day, “It's not easy to get distribution for a film that has an African-American hero unless you are Will Smith or Denzel Washington. Also the distribution market is still grappling with post-recession woes, especially smaller studios. Politics of Love was planned to release last year to cash in on the Obama craze, but now it seems too late. No one is interested in buying the film now."

Mallika suggests kiss scene with Munnabhai

'Mallika' suggests kiss scene with 

Munnabhai.

She is certainly one of the boldest and sexiest actresses in Bollywood. She has acted in a few Hollywood films too. She has no qualms exposing and has kissed her co-stars many a time on screen. And this actress apparently suggested a kissing scene with Sanjay Dutt for their latest film. Well, we are talking about the hot and happening Mallika Sherawat.

It is said that Mallika suggested a steamy kissing scene with Munnabhai for their upcoming film Double Dhamaal by Inder Kumar. She said on the sets of the film in Mumbai, leaving the actor red-faced. 

Sources said that Munnabhai was at first taken aback by Mallika's proposition but later told her that it couldn't happen since he was not the right person to change the script of the film.

Tusshar and Riteish confirmed for Kya Kool Hai Hum 2 : Adult Comedy

Tusshar and Riteish confirmed for 

"Kya Kool Hai Hum 2" : Adult Comedy

          After years of dilly-dallying, sequel of Kya Kool Hai Hum is finally happening. Also, the film's lead pair of Tusshar Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh would be reuniting again for this adult comedy which was the surprise success of 2005.

"Ever since Kya Kool Hai Hum turned into a success, producer Ekta Kapoor and her brother Tusshar Kapoor were keen to bring the sequel on floor", informs a trade source, "However they were unable to crack the right idea. The original director Sangeeth Sivan did try to work around a few subjects but eventually all concerned people could never get on the same page. No one ever contemplated dropping the idea though, as sequels are turning out to be huge business now in Bollywood too. Kya Kool Hai Hum 2 had to happen, come what may." 

This is where the film's writer Sachin Yardi came up with a cracker of an idea that was mutually agreeable to Ekta as well as Tusshar. So impressed was the duo with what Sachin had written that he was immediately entrusted with the responsibility of directing the film as well. Though his debut directorial outing C Kkompany for Ekta and Tusshar was a flop show at the box office, the makers hadn't lost faith in him. 

Confirms Tusshar, "Yes, Sachin would be directing the sequel for us. We have been in regular touch for long and the idea that he has come up for the sequel is going to take Kya Kool Hai Hum franchise many notches up. We would be beginning the film's shoot this year itself." 

With Riteish already confirmed for the sequel, this would be the actor's third franchise where he is working on a sequel. While he has already wrapped up a major portion of Double Dhamaal, he would be seen in Housefull 2 as well. As for Tusshar, Golmaal series happens to be his crowning glory. Though Neha Dhupia and Eesha Koppikhar had starred in the original Kya Kool Hai Hum, they would be replaced by newer faces for the sequel.

Who’s got hotter body - Salman Khan or John Abraham!

Salman and John pump iron for their next films - but who’s brawnier?

Salman Khan and John Abraham, two of the most dashing hunks of tinsel town, have been busy pumping iron and developing those enviable brawns for their film roles. Salman’s rippling biceps have inspired a lot of younger actors to hit the gym with vengeance, though his detractors claim the superstar has grown into an overweight slob lately. To remove such misgivings, the superstar has begun working out for his next film Bodyguard, which is currently on the floors. On the other hand, John Abraham has always had a body for anyone to drool over. That famous shot from Dostana when he pulls his trunks down can still evoke effusive oohs! and aahs! from his female fans. Now, John has still toned his hot bod further for director Nishikanth Kamath’s next film Force in which he plays a cop. Two hunks with incredible bodies. We ask you -- who looks hotter? John or Salman?
