Agneepath’s Mary Becomes Kaali in the Remake
We all know that Karan Johar is remaking his dad’s first production- Agneepath. Agneepath, though was not a commercial success, won Amitabh his first Filmfare award for his portrayal of the character Vijay Dinanath Chavan.
Well, Hrithik has been finalised to step into Vijay Chavan’s shoes while Priyanka will play the female lead. The female lead in the original was done by Madhavi who plays the role of nurse Mary.
In the remake, the name of Priyanka’s character changes to Kaali and the profession changes to prostitution. This is the first time in her career that Priyanka will be portraying an on-screen prostitute.
Well, Karan Johar definitely knows how to spice up things, does he not?
Kareena’s Coldest Night With Saif
Kareena Kapoor experienced the coldest night with her beau Saif Ali Khan while shooting in Philadelphia. The couple is otherwise quite cosy together but Kareena needed a whole lot of winter wear including jackets, shawls, boots and pullovers to keep warm while shooting for Karan Johar’s flick with Saif.
She said, “It was the coldest night of my life… You’ve no idea what it was like in that heavy snowfall with a unit of 80 people. But it looked like heaven.”
No points for guessing who made it ‘heavenly’ in such freezing cold for Kareena. The couple decided to keep shooting in such an extreme climate because they want to take a break from Christmas to New Year for Saif’s annual family bash at his ancestral home.
Sexual Orientation Gossip Bothers Karan Johar
Much has been said (and spoofed) about Karan Johar’s happy and ‘gay’ mannerisms. The fact that K.Jo is successful yet still single (no wife, no girlfriend) really gave people a chance to gossip about his sexual orientation.
The man has been subtly trying to get homosexuality a bit of social acceptance in a conservative country like India (read: Kantaben sequences in Kal Ho Naa Ho and now the entire movie Dostana) but obviously disguising it as light hearted humor and pun.
People have been assuming that Karan Johar is a gay and perhaps that is why he keeps getting the topic of homosexuality in his films. But K.Jo seems to be unfazed or rather irritated with the gossip, he says,
“I don’t care about what people’s perceptions are. People have questioned me about my orientation often. I feel it’s nobody’s problem. There are two words, private and personal, which I haven’t put in this English language, but I know they mean something, that’s why they are attached to the word ‘life’, private life and personal life. It’s my prerogative to say “it’s not your problem; it’s none of your concern”.
He’s added, “People don’t know any thing about me actually and I don’t want them to share whether I have a marriage hidden somewhere or I have a relationship that no one knows about or I don’t have anything and I am a monk in my head and I have taken an oath of celibacy.”
Well Karan… obviously no one cares… we are just CURIOUS

Kajol yet to sign Karan Johar’s ‘I am Khan’
Kajol revealed, “I have been approached for this movie by Karan, but I haven’t signed it yet. The script is not ready as yet and I am waiting for a narration. Only then can I decide.”
Come on Kajol go ahead with the project, all your fans are waiting anxiously to see you with SRK once again.
SRK and Kajol in Karan Johar’s next flick
Karan Johar is repeating his favorite and lucky couple SRK and Kajol in his upcoming movie. The movie is about Indian couple, and how their life changes after the 9/11 disaster. The movie was initially titled, as My Name is Khan, which was changed to Khan.
Karan Johar who had struck gold with his first movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which has SRK and Kajol in lead, repeated the couple in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and emerged as a winner again. Karan’s next flick will not be his regular family dramas and romantic type, as he is venturing in a different territory altogether.
Here’s hoping luck to Karan, and waiting eagerly to see SRK and Kajol burning the screen again.
Shahrukh, Deepika Padukone, Farah Khan on Koffee With Karan
Are you thinking that Karan has exhausted the list of guest and the rare combinations in Koffee with Karan?
Well in that case I have good news for you. Karan has got some real combinations left for the show this season. The first dhamakedaar combination is Shah Rukh Khan- Deepika Padukone- Farah Khan on Sunday, August 26th at 9 p.m. on Star One and Star World. And needless to say the episode is a fun roller coaster ride.
Excerpts from the fun episode:
Karan: Welcome back to Koffee with Karan, How does it feel? It is your third appearance?
Farah: Fourth, if you are not counting when I was a judge in the last season.
Karan: Oh right, you judged the finale episode.
Farah: Ya. I have been here almost as much as you.
Karan: A big event that has transformed your life is your wedding. That happened two years ago?
Farah: Ya, two years.
Karan: I thought it would change you. Tell me, has it changed you?
Farah: ahhhhhh… has it?
Karan: I am asking you. Has it made you softer, calmer?
Farah: I don’t think it has made me calmer for sure. But yes, it has given me a perspective in life. And I do enjoy staying at home a lot more now.
Karan: Yes, you have someone to come home to.
Farah: Ya. I like being around the house, doing homely things… not just being on set so much. But I still enjoyed making my second movie a little more than I enjoyed making my first one… when I wasn’t married then.
Karan: So cool you look — new hair do, muscles, six pack I heard…
SRK: Four
Farah: Four have come, two to go!
SRK: I am still working on the last two.
Karan: What made you make this change?
SRK: My son feels I am fat.
Karan: He thinks you are fat?
SRK: He thinks I am fat. He beat up a girl because, first she called me an a******, then she said I look very ugly on KBC… sorry Star. He didn’t react, he controlled himself. Finally, when she said, your father is fat, he kicked her. So I got angry with him, and he said, ‘Papa, you know what? It is not her fault, it’s you. Why are you fat? Because she said, ugly, I didn’t mind. You looked handsome on KBC. You are not an a****** I know. You are a cool guy. But you are fat Papa.’
Karan: He thinks you are fat.
SRK: Just imagine. What he thinks about you and Farah, lets not get into that.
Farah: Thanks!
Karan: Are you nervous at all?
Deepika: I am very nervous.
Karan: Was it the same kind of nervousness when you were offered this film? You had to work with Shah Rukh, with Farah… were you completely like all nerves the first day?
Deepika: It was the same kind of nervousness; especially on the first day. Although Farah went all out to make me feel comfortable, she introduced me to Shah Rukh well in advance…
Karan: And everyone tells that he is a terrific co-star…
Deepika: He is fantastic to work with.
Karan: It feels special that you are a part of such a monstrous project? .
Deepika: Yes and we have almost come to the end of it.
SRK: I thought Karan was saying you are part of such a monster (pointing to Farah).
Deepika: No, she was wonderful.
So don’t miss it!

Madhuri: Like… you know you have a whole bound script…
Karan: And that didn’t happen during your time?
Madhuri: Oh no, it didn’t…sometimes we used to go on the sets, we didn’t even know what we were going to say in the scene…we used to get the dialogues right then…
Karan: Last minute
Madhuri: Ya…last minute…learn them and just say them and the whole economics was different at that time of film making…and I think because of the corporate kind of culture that has come in now, it’s great, because everything is so organised now
Karan: Everything is streamlined…
Madhuri: Everything is disciplined …you know it is worked out before hand…what the scene is going to be and what you are going to wear…what you’re look is going to be…everything is set for you …it is so easy for the actors.

Madhuri: That has shocked me
Karan: Like what
Madhuri: I was invited for this opening and I saw this barrage of cameramen and the press was like falling all over each other…and I was like what is happening …
Karan: And that wasn’t the case earlier
Madhuri: No, it wasn’t… I mean there were a few photographers…same familiar faces who used to be there everywhere to cover… but now it’s like you know new people, new faces and I went to this Siddhivinayak temple…
Karan: Oh ya… they have the tendency to follow people at that particular temple
Madhuri: Ya, you know…I came out and it was like… oh my God, and I thought my kids are going to be scared and I was holding on to them… but you should have seen my little one…

Karan: Really?
Madhuri: Ya, really
Karan: You must see her in Black…she is fantastic
Madhuri: Ya, I should
Karan: What about your male co-stars, have you met them all, after you came back?
Madhuri: No, not all of them, because everybody is busy… but, I have met Shah Rukh and I think he is the only co-star I have met.
