Salman has a surprise visitor!!
Salman Khan had a surprise visitor at Mehboob Studios on Saturday. Even though it was pouring heavily, Karisma Kapoor, his co-star of films like Jeet, Judwaa and Dulhan Hum Le Jaayenge, dropped in to meet him.
The actress came specially to wish the ailing star a speedy recovery as well as success for Bodyguard. Lolo also reminisced about their on-screen pairing and chemistry.
Paichan Kaun???
Can you guess the name of the actress who SRK is hugging???
Aamir Khan, the Anna Hazare in Bollywood???
Anna Hazare and his message of anti-corruption has managed to plant ideas into the minds of Bollywood producers.
Buzz has it that while director Prakash Jha has already planned to make a movie with Amitabh Bachchan playing Hazare, well-known producer Madhu Mantena (who produced Ghajini) has purchased the rights of an old Telugu film that revolves around the anti-corruption theme.
Titled Tagore, the film starred Chiranjeevi as an anti-corruption crusader who starts a vigilante organisation called Anti-Corruption Force.
When contacted, Mantena said he is in the process of acquiring the rights for the film. “I love the title and I love the message of the film. I think it’s far more relevant today than it was when it was made seven years ago.”
Interestingly, Tagore itself is the remake of a 2002 Tamil film called Ramanna. AR Murugadoss, who directed Ghajini for Mantena, had also written Tagore.
According to sources, Mantena wants to cast Aamir Khan in the role of the anti-corruption crusader. While not denying this bit of news, Mantena refused to talk about the subject. He said, “I can’t talk about the casting. It’s too early.”
Mallika’s item number,’Shalu’ is a complete copy…
Choreographer Ganesh Acharya has ripped off Farah Khan’s patented dance steps from Sheila ki jawaani in Tees Maar Khan, and Munni badnaam hui in Dabangg for Mallika Sherawat’s new item number Shalu ke thumke. The song features in the forthcoming Bin Bulaye Baraati.
His justification for ‘being inspired’ by the two songs that had everyone on the dance floor on New Year’s Eve in 2010, is a line from the new song: Munni bhi maani aur Sheila bhi maani, Shalu ke thumke ki duniya deewani.
Sources however, say Acharya was compelled by the film’s team, who believed that incorporating Katrina Kaif’s and Malaika Arora’s dance steps would add to Sherawat’s oomph quotient.
“It was felt that since Munni and Sheila have been mentioned in the lyrics, the trademark dance steps from the two songs should reflect in Mallika’s moves. Ganesh’s objections were quickly shouted down,” said a source.
Of course, Kaif and Arora are far from amused. “What was Mallika thinking when she launched into the Munni and Sheila steps? It’s not done. You can’t borrow steps just because the lyrics make a reference.
Choreography is patented just like tunes are,” fumed another source.
Prakash Jaju, the film’s producer however, confirmed, “It was Anand Raj Anand’s idea, and we liked it,” he said. Jaju said Sherawat had no objection. “We offered her a choice of two item songs and she chose this one. We offered the other one to Shweta Tiwari.”
Farah Khan who has lately been embroiled in an extended tu tu main main with choreographer Ganesh Hegde, steered clear of controversy surrounding Acharya’s song. “I haven’t seen it. Maybe they are just spoofing the Sheila and Munni steps,” she said. When informed that Sherawat was dead serious in her item song, Khan, said, “In that case, I’m flattered.” Kaif and Arora are not.
Aishwarya Rai issues legal notice to ‘Heroine’ makers!
Just a few days back, we had reported that Aishwarya Rai had returned the cheque she had taken as a signing amount for Heroine. Now the latest we hear is that the actress has sent a legal notice to UTV and Madhur Bhandarkar, warning the producers against leaking her photo-shoot to promote Heroine.
The actress has sent a letter through her lawyers that she will seek damages if the pictures that she has shot for the film earlier, gets leaked out.
“Ash is fed up of the whole thing. She’s been ethical and professional about the matter. But, considering the way things ended on a sour note with Bhandarkar, she does not want him to use any of the stills or scenes that she had already shot at any point in the future,” the source is quoted as saying by a daily.
Added the source, “Ash has already returned her acting fees, so there’s nothing that makes her liable to her director or producer. She is still upset with the way Madhur wrote a huge blog against her which basically called her a liar. She always wanted to come back and complete the movie, but the way things turned out, has left a bad taste in her mouth.”
However, a source from the production house says, “Madhur was not planning to use those stills, but we guess Ash didn’t trust us. The photo-shoots that we have done with her for the promotions are really great pictures. We are sorry that these pictures won’t be revealed ever to the world. Aishwarya is looking just awesome in the pictures. We are putting it in our safety vaults where it won’t come out ever.”
Kareena is born to act…
Kareena Kapoor has not stopped smiling ever since she was publicly appreciated by Shah Rukh Khan on Twitter.
Impressed with her level of commitment towards the film Ra. One, Shah Rukh Khan recently praised Kareena on the micro blogging site. SRK tweeted: “Finished the last few bits of Ra. One with Kareena. Want to thank her for working so hard and fast she was such a sport.”
“Kareena was born to act. She is a natural; she has no craft, grammar or process attached to her acting. She is gifted with a great sense of cinema that I have seen only in Kajol other than her. Move her from the sets of Golmaal to a Jab We Met to a Chameli on the same day, and Bebo will fit into them all,” says director Karan Johar.
Sigh! Preity and Kareena are friends, finally…
Preity Zinta and Kareena Kapoor have finally decided to let bygones be bygones. One side, the bubbly Zinta went all out to praise Kareena Kapoor, the other side saw Kareena complimenting Preity on her sweetness.
Preity tweeted: Just saw BODYGUARD! Salman U n Kareena Rock! Its FAB & the action is AMAZING ! All da best This one is full Paisa Vasool 
“
On the other hand, Kareena said, “I am really flattered with Preity’s compliment. She is really sweet and very genuine as a person. She always speaks her mind so I know whatever she wrote was heartfelt.”
Now this gestures made by both the actresses towards each other comes as a real surprise. Their rivalry goes back to the year 2008 when at a party hosted by Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta snubbed Kareena Kapoor in public. The fight got worsen when Kareena was replaced by Preity in Karan Johar’s ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’.
But leaving past behind, we are guessing the two actresses have made up and are now friends.
‘Kick’ will see a lot more of Sonakshi Sinha…
This year and the next, will have us see a lot of Sonakshi Sinha. Her flicks include, Kick with Salman Khan, Rowdy Rathod with Akshay Kumar and Vishwaroopam with Kamal Haasan.
Ever since Dabangg happened, the the recently turned 24 years young actree has not looked back.
Sonakshi is currently shooting her second film, Shirish Kunder’s Joker, with co-star Akshay Kumar. She also features in Sajid Nadiadwala production’s currently filming Housefull 2, which has an ensemble cast of 18 leading actors so we assume Sonakshi will get limited screen time.
Of her three new films, Sonakshi is excited about Shirish Kunder’s Kick because she has a more substantive role in it than she had in Dabangg.
“Kick is a remake of South Indian film. The girl has lots more to do. It’s a very good role. I’m very kicked about Kick. Yeah, there’s definitely much more scope for me in Kick than Dabangg. And I am going to make the best of it,” Sonakshi told a popular tabloid.
Later this month, she will begin filming for her first regional, Vishwaroopam, with Kamal Haasan. Her look in the film will be both Indian as well western and you can expect to see her flaunting her curves in a lot of stylish saris.
“I love to see myself in saris. I hope I get to wear lots.”
Rowdy Rathod is a remake of S.S. Rajamouli’s Telugu 2006 film, Vikramarkudu. The Sanjay Leela produced film directed by Prabhu Deva is an intense action thriller in which Sonakshi will get to romance a small-time thief and crook (Akshay Kumar) who is crazy about acts of dare-devilry.
Akshay’s character takes on the notorious Chambal dacoits to revenge the death of his look-alike cop, Vikram Rathod.
There is more! Talks are on for her to pair up with Ranveer Singh, which could mean she may do a YRF film since Ranveer has a three film deal with them. He is currently filming for the second YRF film, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl.
“It’d be a good combination,” Sonakshi assures.
