“Shah Rukh is too old for the role in Kismat Konnection . The role is about the life of a 26-year-old and Shah Rukh is 40 plus. It doesn’t suit him,” said Aziz Mirza.
Too bad to see our Shahrukh getting old….finally
Right from being media savy to apologising to fellow stars, actor Aamir Khan is doing it all.
Now the actor has decided to bury the hatchet and is going all out to significantly, improve his relations with none other than Amitabh Bachchan himself. Apparently, Aamir has invited the Big B to watch his nephew Imraan’s soon-to-be released film ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’.
Reportedly, Aamir has also congratulated the Big B for ‘Sarkar Raj’. This definitely seems to portray a quite a different image of the actor from what has been witnessed in the recent past.
Sajid Khan has always been all praises for Vidya Balan, the lead actress of his debut film, ‘Heyy Babyy’. And the latest rumour has it that he has also signed her for his upcoming venture. During the shoot of ‘Heyy Babyy’, Sajid complemented his love interest, “Vidya is our hero. She is a buddy and one of us.”
Sajid Khan, known for his tongue-in-cheek humour and flamboyant parodies of super stars on TV show, has always supported Vidya. His ‘Heyy Babyy’ also turned out to be a runaway hit, making Vidya his lucky mascot..
Sajid Khan’s enthusiastic endorsement of Vidya has set the rumour mills rolling. Meanwhile, Shahid, being once bitten twice shy, is keeping all his cards close to his heart.
The connection between Shahid and Vidya, was said to be one of the causes for Shahid-Bebo break-up. The split occurred soon after the duo left for Canada to shoot for ‘Kismat Konnection’. But Shahid and Vidya are being discreet about what’s cooking between them.
Although Shahid shower praises on Vidya, but he always seems on guard. “Vidya is a talented and hardworking costar,” he said in a recent interview.
Well, with the additional ‘Sajid’ angle to their connection – here is a bit of advice for the lover boy of Bollywood – do not delay your ‘Kismat Konnection’ with your love interest, for there are chances of cross connection!
The only difference is, while Pa-in-law has his own blog and his take on things, Ash has only blogged in retaliation to a comment that apparently touched a nerve with her.
The comment was posted on ‘Sarkar Raj’ director Ram Gopal Verma’s blog site, and questions the character of Abhishek falling in love with someone from America who he has known only for a day.
To this, a cheeky RGV had replied saying “perhaps he has a weakness for worldly beauties.”
This was a harmless comment but one that led the Bachchan bahu to retaliate - albeit with all the political correctness expected from one of the Bachchan family.
Aishwarya has replied as a blogger, explaining that it was a deep connect arising out of confiding in a person that leads to the bond being formed so quickly between her character and Abhishek’s in the movie and that “the director chose to underplay the experience”.
Actress Shilpa Shetty has been going through a rough phase lately. It was a shock to see a frail looking Shilpa in a wheelchair at the airport when she arrived back home from her recent visit to Dubai. Behind this sorry state of Shilpa were a series of unfortunate events.
Things began going wrong for the actress after she shot a song for Sunny Deol’s The Man in which she was repeatedly drenched in artificial rain. While the song was shot completely, Shilpa ended up with fever and chest congestion.
To make matters worse, Shilpa was bitten by a dog of her friend whom she was visiting in Tirupati. Poor Shilpa, who was already on antibiotics, now had to take extra medicine.
But the misfortunes were far from over.
Shilpa flew to Dubai to celebrate her birthday last Saturday but her luggage got lost in the transit. The same day, before a special party to usher her birthday, Shilpa fell ill again and the party had to be cancelled.
And all the medicine she took had its side effects and led to a burning sensation in her food pipe and stomach.
The actress eventually got so weak that when she came back from Dubai she had to be carried in a wheelchair to her car at the airport.
Shilpa is presently recuperating and is likely to recover soon.
Kay Kay (Menon) and flirtatious? Find it hard to believe!
The actor who has been seen doing only serious characters on screen was seen indulging in some flirting on the sets of Venus Records and Tapes Pvt Ltd's Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam. And the object whom he was seen showering affection on was none other than hottie Mallika Sherawat.
His life story has enough of drama, action, and is filled with adventures, innumerable incidents of his famed survival instincts, high profile kidnappings and the aura of fear about himself that he was able to instill in the minds of the people is a fertile ground for a film maker to get inspired. Even when the notorious person was alive, Ram Gopal Varma's wish to make a film on his life has been know.
When Ram Gopal Varma's film 'Jungle' was released a couple of years ago, everyone thought that it is a film about Veerapan.
There started the saga of a film about Veerapan and still it has not become a reality.
After a long period of time, with the success of 'Sarkar Raj' Ram Gopal Varma has reinstated his position in Bollywood and now is the right time to think again about his long cherished wish of making the film on Veerapan.
People in large numbers gathered side by side on the green carpet and gave a grand reception to their favorite stars. It is an occasion where opponent stars and families happen to meet under the same roof, an occasion to show the world the prowess of Bollywood. It is a noble occasion where the best work of the individuals gets acclaimed. Some received kudos for their excellent work while some failed to hold the trophy. The contenders who failed to shine at this great event stepped out with a hope for a better performance next year. Farah Khan walked away with five awards for Om Shanti Om and Chak De India took away nine awards. Here’s the list of excellence:
Best Actor
Shahrukh Khan - Chak De India
Best Actress
Kareena Kapoor - Jab We Met
"Sylvester Stallone will be portraying himself in the movie. For the first time in the history of Indian cinema, the shooting will take place at the Universal Studio (one of Hollywood's biggest and most well-known studios)", he added.
They celebrated the release by pouring milk on his cut-outs and posters and performing 'aarthi'.
As per Ayesha she has already worked in most genres and now wants to prove herself as an action star. She adds that action movies are all set to make a comeback.
Well dear Ayesha, here is a suggestion, why not try some stunts/action in your Salman Khan starrer Wanted Dead and Alive!
Mumbai : The going has been tough for Rani Mukerji. Getting her new house constructed proved to be the biggest challenge for the talented actress.
"It was like working simultaneously in Yash Chopra, Sanjay Bhansali and Karan Johar films. I was going mad," Rani, who is gearing up for her next release "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic", told a friend.
She had set a deadline for the home to be completed. "It had to be done before her next film for Yash Raj Films started. And she had to meet the deadline somehow," the friend told IANS.
She starts shooting with Shahid Kapur for her new Yash Raj film from June 18.
To compound her construction woes, Rani recently fell on the steps of her new home and hurt herself.
The friend explained: "Her thumb was badly hurt. For weeks she had to undergo physiotherapy. But before it could heal completely, she plunged into cricket practice for her new film with Yash Raj where she plays a cricketer.
"So the thumb hasn't had a chance to heal properly. She has been going through a series of misadventures and that's why she has been keeping out of the limelight. Earlier, Rani got her office ready a year and a half ago. Now her home is finally ready."
"In fact, Rani and her family moved into the dream house while the construction was on. So Rani has been living with the heat, dust and hurt thumb for months."
The house has been opened to close friends like Karan Johar and Bhansali. On Saturday, the workers and designers packed their gear and left and Rani finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Says a source close to Rani: "She's so relieved. It has been an ordeal for Rani because she couldn't do anything else until the house was ready. But now when she sees how happy the house has made her family, she feels all the effort has been worth it."
Salman Khan is going all out to attract audiences to his game show 10 Ka Dum on Sony. The actor is leaving no stone unturned to make it a big hit. Recently he started blogging, following in the footsteps of Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan whose blogs are the talk of the town. Now Salman has gone one step ahead and invited all his friends in the film industry to participate on his show. Very soon viewers will see Sanjay Dutt, Govinda and Aamir Khan on the show. Insiders reveal that the episodes have turned out to be so interesting but nothing could to beat the episodes with cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh.
“When Salman was shooting the episode with the cricketers, he asked them who their favourite heroine was and Yuvraj said Katrina Kaif and Harbhajan said he liked Lara Dutta. And then, after a pause added that he liked Katrina more. Salman was surprised with their reply and just blushed since they were after all talking about his girlfriend,” claims a source. Salman’s catch phrases like Chaap Do and Desh Ki Awaam have caught on with people and even his ponytail may just become a hair trend for all his ardent fans.
Genelia D’souza, the star in south yet a newcomer in Bollywood, has just said hello to Hindi audience through Priyan’s latest Mere Baap Pehle Aap. As a matter of fact, the information is well known to most of the movie-buffs. But the other side of the currency is still under gloom. The beautiful, yet lacking in dialogue delivery and proper Hindi-ism, Genelia has a secret dream of acting like our own Madhuri Dixit and Kajol. Albeit Mere Baap Pehle Aap shows Shovna as Genelia’s teacher but in real life Genelia assumes Kajol teaching her the nitty-gritty of posing on screen. Interestingly, both Kajol and Genelia share the same date of birth which is on 5th of August.
Genelia believes she would have a perfect boost in her career if she can even avail half the acting prowess from Kajol. But the questions remains, how would it be possible with all that poor dialogue delivery and rigid reactions! Well, we may only ask her to learn the proper dialogue delivery first, which can cut the problem down to half. And later on Madhuri and Kajol may not have to take much burden in teaching Genelia.
MaheshBabu to play in multi-starrer:
Maheshbabu, who was unhappy with his recent films (Sainikudu and Atithi), is looking for another major hit and has become very selective in accepting the subjects. His next film would be directed by Trivikram Srinivas. According to Film Nagar sources, Maheshbabu gave his nod to play in a multi-starrer next year.
To be directed by VV Vinayak the film would be produced by Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, son of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy. In this film Maheshbabu is going to co-star with popular Tamil star Surya of ‘Gajini’-fame. The film would be simultaneously produced in Tamil and Telugu languages. The film is most likely to go to sets in 2009.
I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a fan of the show, but I'll admit I've enjoyed reruns of Sex And The City every time I've caught one by accident. Of course what I think of the show doesn't matter here. The truth is, ladies everywhere have been waiting for this, and now it's finally here.
To be entirely honest, the Sex And The City movie doesn't actually feel like a cohesive feature at all. At two hours and twenty-five odd minutes, it feels more like a string of episodes slapped back-to-back, if you ask me. The girls are back for their big screen outing, but I'm disappointed to report, the fun's missing from this adventure.
Here’s the complete article in his own words:
Last night I watched the IPL final and what an exciting match it was. I don’t think we could have asked for a better finale to a most entertaining tournament. Rajasthan after beginning as the least likely to win at the start of the tournament went on to win the cup. My congratulations to the Rajasthan team and supporters. Chennai, hard luck but very well fought.
Mumbai Indians is the team I’m supporting for obvious reasons, and I was disappointed that we weren’t in the finals, but next time. In fact I think all teams gave it their best but there can only be one winner, and jo jeeta wohi sikander. My guess is that in a very short time we should have the best side on an international level, what with all the young talent being thrown up.
The match last night was certainly exciting but what made it a unique experience for me was that I had Sachin next to me. You will find this hard to believe but Sachin was able to predict every ball before it was bowled.
“He is going to bowl a bouncer next”, “This one is going to be a slower one”, “Full tilt outside the off stump”, “Next one will be a yorker”, “Short of length”. It was uncanny. HE GOT IT RIGHT EACH TIME!!! No wonder its so difficult to bowl to him. He has an amazing instinct. And he told me his logic for each prediction which I wont share with you as I don’t want to reveal how his mind works.
But all of us were dumbfounded with his instinct and his acumen. So at the end of it I told him next time we watch a film together I’m going to tell him whats going to happen next!
My apologies for disappearing for a bit. My friend Paul Blackthorn was visiting Bombay and I spent the week with him reliving Lagaan. In fact we had a bit of a reunion for him and it was really great to meet everyone.
And my apologies for the delay in the DVD release of Taare Zameen Par. The final work is almost over. Any day now. But I assure you I have tried my very best to make the wait worth it. Very soon I will tell y’all the exact release date, which is any day now.
I see that some of you have remembered my son Junaid’s birthday. Thanks so much for your wishes. We just returned from a dinner to celebrate it. He is 15 already! How time passes.
Incidentally, tomorrow I resume work on the action sequences of Ghajini. I think my hamstring has recovered, but I’ll get to know tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Love.
