Aditya Chopra Changes Plans for Dhoom-3:




Aditya has been constantly changing decisions on the cast and the crew of his upcoming trilogy (if it can be called so) Dhoom 3. But one thing was fixed that after Sanjay Gadhvi deciding to part ways with Yash Raj Films, Aditya himself will be directing the movie but now even that remains under thought.

Ranbir Upsets Deepika:



Deepika is not quite happy with Ranbir these days. After she was successful in keeping her boyfriend away from his debut film’s beauty, Sonam Kapoor, the possesive Deepika has another girl to bother. And this time it’s Ranbir’s ex-girlfriend Avantika Malik. Ranbir Kapoor and model Avantika Malik were said to be dating before Ranbir made it to films. However, things didn’t turnout well and they broke up. But even now, when Avantika is dating Aamir’s nephew Imraan, she and Ranbir are still in contact. This isn’t quite approved by Deepika, and made her upset.
Now, will Deepika’s possessive nature hold on Ranbir for long??
Bips Out of Unforgettable:




Bipasha who is emerging as the new most replaced actress of the bollywood, has now opted out of Bachchan’s much talked about tour, “The Unforgettable”. Reports say that the actress had signed an agreement agreeing to work with the Bachchans before her latest flick till date, Race. But then, as the movie blasted the records at the box office, the lady immediately demanded for a hike in her fee. The Wizcraft said this was highly unprofessional, and was not expected out of her. She thus has been dropped out of the list of the actors accompanying Bachchans on their world tour.
Come on girl, to stay in industry, you gotta be highly professional!!!
Khiladi Get's a New Look:



The actor with the maximum of success rate right now, is all geared up with his new look for his new show called “Khatron Ke Khiladi”. The actor has his typical military hair style, but is donning handsome boots, great jackets with hood, and also the scarves. The look has made the hunk of the bollywood look a little like a typical handsome cowboy. The show will see the celeb ladies like Aditi Govtrikar, Yana Gupta, Meghna Naidu, Sonali Kulkarni etc. With an anchor like him, looks like the ladies are in for a huge treat.
Ajay Determined to Quit Smoking:




After Saif Ali Khan, here’s another smoker who is determined to quit his old habit of smoking. Actor Ajay Devgan, who is a chain smoker and exhales not less than a steam engine, has finally made his mind to quit his smoking. As of now, everything is under control, and the actor seems to be successfully able to conquer his desire to smoke. Wifey Kajol, can’t help but thank God for giving somne senses to her hubby dearest. Kajol’s dad had a heart attack, which had made her really concerned for Ajay, especially with him not even trying to give up smoking.
Is health minister, Mr. Ramadoss listening??

Aamir Khan Floored By The Item Queen





Rakhi Sawant, who has found herself a place in the television world as a host, has left the bollywood ace Aamir Khan highly impressed. The lady had recently sent Aamir a hand written invitation, inviting him to her talk show. The actor agreed and was flattered when the item queen told him that she beleived his prescence on her show would make her show a hit, as his presence in any movie makes the movies go hit!!! Aamir was surely left impressed with the girl’s personality and praises.
Well, who could do it better than Rakhi??

Shahid:Aziz Mirza's new SRK.




After being loyal for quite a while, to his favourite star, SRK, Aziz Mirza has now changed his taste. The man now has a new fav: Shahid Kapoor. Aziz Mirza has shot many movies with the badshah of which Raju Ban Gaya Gentle Man, Chalte Chalte, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani…etc are some of the commendable ones. But his latest film “Kismet Konnection” involves the new chocolate boy, Shahid Kapoor.

“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

From Adelaide, 'Love Story 2050' to Mumbai:



As India-Australia film links foster, Bollywood's first commercial futuristic science-fiction feature film "Love Story 2050", showcasing South Australia's capital, Adelaide, is set to premier in the City of Churches July 4.

This Bollywood romance crossing time and space, switches between present-day Adelaide and futuristic Mumbai. It is the debut vehicle of Harman Baweja and also stars former Miss World Priyanka Chopra.

South Australia's Premier Mike Rann, who had a cameo role in the movie, says the filming of "Love Story 2050" on his home turf was a dream come true.

"We think it is good for the film industry. It's great to have people spending money here for 55 days, using South Australia as a location, but it is also giving us worldwide publicity that money can't buy", Premier Rann said.

Indian films shot in Australia have had spin offs in other industries like tourism, education and the local economy and employment.

For the year ending June 2007, South Australia attracted 3,300 Indian visitors and India is the state's second-highest source of overseas students with 2,692 students enrolled across all levels from primary to university.

Producer-director Harry Baweja, who chose Adelaide over other locations in Italy and scotland, said South Australia proved to be the "perfect choice". The stars and crew spent five weeks shooting scenes across the state.

Besides the state capital Adelaide, the film showcases some of Australia's most famous tourist destinations and diverse landscapes - the Kangaroo Island, the Flinders Ranges and Lake Eyre and the technological expertise and facilities available in South Australia.

"This production is just the latest in a series of mutually beneficial marketing tie ups we have been able to structure between Bollywood and the Australian State Governments. Other successes include 'Heyy Babyy' and more recently, the cricketing film starring Brett Lee, 'Victory'," said Anupam Sharma managing director of Sydney-based Films and Casting TEMPLE.

Sharma was the Australian Line producer for "Love Story 2050"

Aadesh ties up with Motorola to promote song:

To be released under the Sony-BMG label, "Bollywood Meets Hollywood" is set to hit the Indian stores some time in July.

" 'Bollywood Meets Hollywood' is already a craze abroad. The Youtube website is filled with the song. We've big plans for the song in India. I hope, it would be like a singing launch for Abhishek."

The composer churned out chartbusters like "Say shava shava" in "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" and "Chali chali phir chali chali" in "Baghban".

Aadesh now plans to tie up with other international artistes like Justin Timberlake.

"I missed the chance recently because I was busy judging a reality show
in India. Never mind. Justin's company is very keen to tie up with us."
