2009-07-16T22:36:00.003-07:00

Nisha Kothari's Kiss Mix !
You would assume that Nisha Kothari, that sexy chick from Ram Gopal Varma’s films, would not be easily shaken up when it comes to shooting for those oomphy numbers. The story goes that recently when she was shooting for RGV’s Agyaat(Adavi in Telugu) at Madh Island, the actress got thoroughly flustered. Why’s that you ask? Well, the song titled ‘Kiss Mix’ had lyrics that went ‘Kiss me all day and kiss me all night’, so whenever the music would be played out loud, the public would scream the song along with it. Naturally, Priyanka got intimidated and finally, Ramu had to wrap up the shoot there and shift to a studio to finish the song. Well, seems RGV’s songs can rattle anyone, remember Rann’s controversial song?

Tabu Joins Bikini Club In Next Movie?

She is known as the hefty beauty of the Indian cinema and though she has attitude written all over her, she is still the most sought after actress. She is none other than Tabu and this Hyderabad beauty is a hot cake in the Bollywood circuit as well.

Now, a shocker has arrived from Bollywood with the news that Tabu is all set to come up with a bikini act. Many are wondering how this is possible and that too at the age 38???!!! It is said that this is happening for a Hindi movie shortly.

Tabu’s power of lusty appeal and sexuality was seen in movies like ‘Idhee Sangathi’ and ‘Pandurangadu’. So if she arrives with a bikini on, this will no doubt be a treat for many say the industry experts. Given her height and voluptuous figure, this will be a ‘tall’ experience for many.

Non-Cooperation For 'Magadheera' From Producers Council

2009-07-16T22:35:00.001-07:00

Non-Cooperation For 'Magadheera' From Producers Council

It appears that the Producers Council has been coming up with rather revolutionary decisions and many say that this could involve a lot of consequences. Mainly, it is the stand that the council has been taking towards the TV channels when it comes to promoting the films and giving ads.

Sometime back, three big channels - MAA TV, ETV, Gemini TV were banned by the council and they were refrained from being given any film related ads. The council also went further by issuing no invites to these three channels for press meets and other film related events. The cause for this was said to be an expensive tariff quoted by these channels.

Now, even the ZEE Telugu has been joined into this league. Apparently, the channel is said to have mentioned that they were unable to come up with film teasers or ads during the primetime since the fees being given was not working out.

However, sources from the council say that the producers want to give a message that the TV depends on film industry but not vice versa.

Just when this tussle between the Producers Council and the TV channels has been getting hot, a move by film maker Allu Aravind seems to have rubbed salt on the wrong side. Apparently, Allu went ahead and gave the ‘Magadheera’ audio release event live to the MAA TV recently.

As per the industry sources, this has not gone well with the Producers Council and they have now said to have resolved that no support would be given to Allu Aravind in the event of any issue regarding this movie. It is also said that an anti-Allu Aravind group is coming together to come up with stern action due to this.

It is also heard that a motif was issued by the council demanding an explanation but no reply has been received from Aravind.

“Now, this has to be understood that if Allu Aravind faces any problem as producer either with exhibitors or any others, Producers’ Council will not stand for him”, says a birdie.

As it is, Allu has picked up friction in the political front in the PRP camp and now he seems to be picking up few more issues in his own film industry too.

Raviteja’s new venture with Bellamkonda

2009-07-16T22:34:00.002-07:00

Raviteja’s new venture with Bellamkonda

Producer Bellamkonda Suresh is all set to create a sensation with each successive project. His latest film ‘Ride’ was proved a hit. A few days ago, he had announced a film ‘Bhishma’ with Balakrishna as hero under the direction of Ramesh Varma.

Recently, he bagged the remake rights of a successful Tamil film ‘Nadodigal’ by paying a huge sum. The film with friendship in its backdrop with Sasikumar, Vizharu, Bharani, Anan and Neha in the lead roles was proved a hit and it was directed by Samutirakani.

According to reliable information, Raviteja is roped in as hero for this film, while another role in the film was reportedly offered to Allari Naresh. It may be mentioned here that the producer had already announced another film with Raviteja and Krishnavamsi. If, ‘Nadodigal’ remake goes to sets earlier, the film with Krishnavamsi might be delayed a little further. Chances are bright that the director of the original may wield the megaphone for the Telugu version also.

Kareena Kapoor gets breathless for the 3 Idiots

2009-06-24T20:55:00.000-07:00

If you saw Kareena Kapoor getting breathless during her Ladakh schedule which ended on Monday this week, it wasn’t because of her excitement level.It was something far more immediate..and scary.The unit of Raj Kumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots shot at the Pangong Lake in Ladakh which is 13, 900 feet above sea level. Often tourists who go up there are known to complain of breathlessness due to the lack of oxygen.And so it was for Kareena, Aamir Khan, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi who scaled new heights of derringdo without any casualty, though many people are known to collapse for lack of oxygen at the place where Kareena, the only female member of the cast, shot.Says Kareena, “We had little oxygen, no electricity and no hot water. On top of that I was in a wedding ghagra-choli outfit in that freezing cold, can you imagine! The wind almost swept me off my feet.”To protect herself from the freezing cold Kareena wore thermal heating along with her outfit. “But that was of very little help. Finally the unbearable cold was all worth it for a wonderful film.

Katrina Kaif And John Abraham Do A Bed Scene

2009-06-24T20:54:00.000-07:00

Here's what majority have to say."The two stars get intimate in bed and even share a passionate kiss in a song in their film New York .

The music video of the song is already on the net and has become quite a sensation among Bollywood buffs because of the sizzling chemistry between John and Katrina in it."

We think that 1) Katrina Kaif is doing too much, on the contrary John is doing nothing. 2)

A few seconds of them touching each other's faces have no subtext nor seduction-hence the inappropriate "sizziling chemistry"comment. 3)I'm thinking twice to go watch.

New York. With that said- watch the clip below. And oh, Salman Khan should not bother getting worked up on this clip-it is as bad as the clip he shared with Katrina Kaif on Yuvraaj, where Kat tried to tie Salman Khan's hand on the bed.

Bipasha Basu, Asin And Shilpa Shetty in Clinic Advert

2009-06-24T20:53:00.000-07:00

You’ve seen the three different Filmfare covers of the sexy Bipasha Basu.Shilpa Shetty and Asin, and now we have their brand new advert for Clinic All Clear Anti-Dandruff shampoo!

It’s quite obvious that the Filmfare covers were inspired by the commercial, because each woman are clad in sleek black outfits and swinging about their long, black,

Impossibly shiny hair. And inside the covers of the Filmfare magazine, the ladies are doing the same in snapshots.

So check out the commercial below and let us know what you think about it by dropping your comments below! Which girl do you think did a better job in the commercial?

No fun for Asin - Bollywood Actress

2009-06-24T20:52:00.001-07:00

That too, abroad. World recession and the swine flu have spoiled Asin’s fun. She was to travel to Japan to shoot for Bharat Bala’s The 19th Step, but now the twin factors have worked against her trip. Instead, Japanese superstar Tadnobu Asano is expected to join Asin in Kerala where the entire film will be shot.

It’s not as if Papa Joseph preaches. Or that Asin was dying to be out of his influence so that she could do her own thing. But, yes, the Southie hottie had admitted that she was looking forward to going to Japan for fun and work. She visited China alone earlier for an awards event and, apparently, freaked out over her freedom. “I may seem to be a Papa’s girl but I like my independence,” Asin had said then.

Bollywood sources report that the height of freedom for Asin is to have a good time without raising comment. Not even shopping or trying her luck at the casinos is her idea of having a blast. Instead, she enjoys trying out new and different cuisines. That’s the actress’ definition of self-indulgence, for which she really does not need to go abroad. What’s Japan got in terms of food that India doesn’t

Will Freida Pinto work with Madhur Bhandarkar?

2009-06-24T20:51:00.000-07:00

When the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ girl Freida Pinto expressed her wish to work with Bollywood’s realistic moviemaker, Madhur Bhandarkar, the latter was so flattered with the lady’s desire that he said that he would “love to work with her”.

“I’m quite flattered to hear Freida wants to work with me. I think she is aware of my female-oriented cinema. She must have seen the performances that Tabu and Konkona Sen Sharma gave in Chandni Bar and Page 3. I’d love to work with Freida,” Bhandarkar said.

“Today, I’m at a stage where an actress of Freida’s international popularity singles me out. I guess I must’ve done something right in these 10 years as a director. Can you imagine the kind of potboilers I’d be making if my first film Trishakti had clicked?”

Reportedly, Miss Pinto had expressed this heartfelt desire of hers in an interview to the international press where she said that she would do a Bollywood film only if it was a Bhandarkar film.

Wheres Kangana in Kites?

2009-06-24T20:50:00.001-07:00

The question is obvious when the film is being promoted on the names of Hrithik Roshan and international star Barbara Mori. It seems makers of Kites have completely forgotten Kangana Ranaut.

It is believed that Kangana’s not happy with the promos of the film as she has not been given much footage.

Being a Mexican actress Barbara has received a great exposure in Bollywood because of her sizzling chemistry with Hrithik.

The Kangana, who worked hard on herself to play her character and also learnt salsa for her role in Kites has been completely sidelined in the promos.

We hear that the makers of Kites want Barbara to promote the film in India before the release. Thus the actress will be back in India before the release. We wonder if our desi girl Kangana gets lucky too.

Kat shows John claws

2009-06-23T23:30:00.001-07:00

We got to know that John Abraham and Katrina Kaif were involved in some tu-tu-main-main while shooting the climax of their forthcoming film.

A unit member said, “It was a very difficult scene to co-ordinate. What irritated Katrina further were John’s remarks on the set.

They got into a major argument. That put her off! Katrina just stormed off the set.” Thankfully, the shoot had to be called off that day.

Kabir Khan had to cancel the shoot because of bad weather, but that really helped,” said our source. Kat had cooled off the next day and the shoot resumed again.

Katrina’s boyfriend Salman Khan would be more than happy to hear this. Sometime back rumors were rife that Salman keeps a tab on Katrina’s life and phone bills. He was quite upset with the reports about Katrina bonding with her New York co-star John Abraham.

If rumors are to be believed, Salman actually threw Katrina’s stuff out of his home because he didn’t like the idea of Katrina being friendly with his foe, John.

Bipasha though was not surprised with the rumors and termed it as bizarre.

2009-06-23T23:29:00.003-07:00

Actress Katrina Kaif, who has made a mark in Bollywood with her stunning good looks, says that she will never do a film for money.

The 24-year-old actress, whose earnings support her family of seven sisters, said there are times when she feels that she needs the money being offered to do a particular film. “I am in a panic situation. But, If I succumb to such pressures, I know the audience will not respect me,” said Katrina.

Katrina, who made her debut in Bollywood with box-office disaster Boom has not looked back since finding success with Akshay Kumar starrer Namaste London. Looking back at her career Katrina says that she considers her journey so far in the industry as a learning experience.

Katrina Kaif

You won’t believe us if we say that the 24-year-old actress Katrina Kaif is fan of cartoon characters. If you visit her house you will know it. Recently when a famous newspaper went to her house for a photo shoot found that a big flat TV screen was running Cartoon Network, a table holding a fat Spiderman pop-up book, she was sporting a T-shirt with Olive Oyl admiring Popeye’s muscles and shoes with tiny cartoon characters on it.

Deepika Padukone: 'It's not an item song in Telugu'

2009-06-23T23:28:00.001-07:00

After her item song with SRK in Billu, Deepika Padukone is preparing for another item song in a South film. Titled Love 4ever, the Telugu film is directed by Jayant.

The song will appear with the opening credits.

Deepika explains why she agreed to do the song, "I heard the song and really liked the concept. The film doesn't have big stars but two newcomers, and I agreed to be a part of the film for their sake.

Not so long ago, I was in the same position a newcomer getting ready to face my audience. And if I can add to this film in some way, then why not?"

The song is being choreographed by Ahmed Khan and will be shot at a Hyderabad studio. Deepika adds, "I have worked with Ahmed for Bachna Ae Haseeno's Khuda Jaane track, where he did a brilliant job. This will be the second time we are coming together." But she still hasn't figured out the look for the song."

She takes pain to stress that her appearance should not be treated like an 'item song', "It's a situational song and takes the story ahead. The film opens with it. So obviously, it leads to the plot starting where the song ends. I am a South Indian and I think this is a great opportunity for me to connect to my fanbase there," concludes the Bangalore girl.

Raveena Round two

2009-06-23T23:26:00.001-07:00

Raveena will now be seen cackling on Chhote Miyan Chapter two. This is for the second time she is dealing with kids on the reality show. She gets candid with media and shares the thrill of being on the children’s Reality show.

What excited you about the show?

I am more excited about this show because I have been following the last season and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kids are not complicated, they are innocent, brutally frank and they only speak the truth. In fact they do not have any hidden agenda to create controversy and gain TRPs, as we have been seeing in other shows.

You have judged reality shows with children as well as with grown-ups in the past, how different it is to deal with children?

While you are judging children you have to be a parent figure first. We make sure that we are only encouraging these kids and also see to it that our verdicts help them in getting better and better. We do take care that the child is not disheartened by whatever we say. As it will be the lasting impression for their life time we have to be very calm with them.

What kind of verdict will be coming from you?

I will say whatever will come right from my heart at that very moment. I never give prepared speeches.

Last two shows that you have judged were based on dancing and singing. What according to you is more difficult?

I believe making others laugh is tougher than dancing and singing. As an entertainer you have to make your audience forget their sorrows and laugh with you. It is challenging for seasoned artiste as well. If an artiste can do this successfully it is reward in itself. I would say I am honoured to be given a privilege to judge these talented kids.

Is it easy to make you laugh?

It is difficult to make me laugh because I laugh more on my own self than on others.

But Raveena here you are paid to laugh…

Best part of the reality show is that we get to wear the best clothes…best jewelry…great looks…and get paid to criticize someone else.

Would you like to try stand up comedy?

No because I have worked with the king of comedy Govinda and nobody on this earth can beat him.

How is the tuning with co-judges on the show?

Sachinji is veteran in this industry, he will be always above us and Rahul is like younger brother. I keep pulling his leg all the time. I’m sure it’s going to be fun.

How do you plan your comeback in films?

I have recently signed a film. I want to take my work slow and easy as my kids are still small. I am also choosy about my work because at this stage of my career I don’t need to be in news for the heck of it.

What is the secret of your well maintained physique?

I am very hands-on parents I like to bring up my children on my own. If you run behind two kids’ day in day out you tend to loose weight.

You said once that Kareena reminds you of your time; tell us precisely about the connection?

I have seen Kareena growing. She is very self-willed person; she does what she wants and does not bend to people’s expectations. She has electrifying screen presence. I think it is very good to be in the industry without loosing yourself.

Chennai: Following the footsteps of Tamil actor Ajit, southern actress Shriya Saran too has decided not to endorse any soft drink brands.

“I did a soft drink ad some time back. Later, a mother came to me and said that her child started consuming more of that drink after seeing my ad. It made me measure my actions,” said Shriya, who teamed up with Tamil superstar Rajnikant in Sivaji: The Boss.

A soft drink ad fetches the actresses Rs.5-6 million and one just has to shoot for four-five days for the commercial, while for a movie one has to slog for months and the remuneration is not as good.

Apart from Tamil films, Shriya also featured in Hindi movies Awarapan and Mission Istaanbul.

At 23, she is used to stardom of sorts having performed live with her own music band and sung for a number of films. But it’s Soham Shah’s Luck that she’s setting her hopes on.

Her romantic lead is Imran Khan, who Shruti has known since childhood. “He actually considers me his little sister, but that didn’t make it difficult for me to romance him on screen!” she laughed. But the film is not all romance. She’s done death-defying stunts “crossing all boundaries that might have ever existed while filming action scenes” and wounded herself too in the bargain. “But I’m proud of those bruises,” said Shruti.

She’s happy, however, that her superstar father didn’t drop on the sets. “I wouldn’t be able to act in front of him so I told him to stay away and watch the final product,” she smiled. Doing a bikini scene, too, would be difficult with Kamal around, she admitted. “I’m okay with wearing a bikini onscreen or showing a little skin. I don’t know why a great deal is made out of the bikini! All those who have worn it till date, have looked good, and if you have a great body — then why not,” she said, “but... my dad shouldn’t be in the same film!”

Her debut film apart, Shruti’s busy composing the music for her home production, a remake of A Wednesday in Telugu and Tamil with Kamal playing the lead. “You can imagine how nervous I am as both the films will release within a gap of a few days. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Composing music was a different experience altogether and it was challenging working with dad,” she said.
Bikini fine if Dad not around: Shruti

Bipasha is in the Race

2009-06-04T04:47:00.001-07:00

Despite reports to the contrary, Bipasha Basu is definitely still Madhur Bhandarkar’s first preference. In recent times, one heard rumours of how the director was looking at other actresses to play the lad in his sequel to Corporate.

The case of Race was also cited, where Kareena Kapoor has replaced Bipasha in the sequel. But that had probably more to do with the makers wanting to cash in on the chemistry of the Saif Kareena jodi. It will be remembered that one of the highlights of Race was the sizzling scenes between Saif and Bipasha. But all is not lost. Corporate, which is all set to have a sequel very soon, may just feature Bipasha in the cast. Bhandarkar is believed to be quite keen to cast her in the sequel which he is planning to make next. The director has just finished the shooting of his film, Jail, which stars Neil Nitin Mukesh and Manoj Bajpai. Corporate 2, which is believed to be in the scripting stage, is being produced by Percept Picture Company. The sequel is expected to have a fresh new plot. This time round, Bhandarkar is likely to have a more generous budget to play around with. The sequel’s budget is being pegged at Rs 20 crore. With an increase in the budget, the makers are looking to rope in bigger and more saleable stars. Corporate’s star cast consisted of Kay Kay Menon, Rajat Kapoor, Raj Babbar and Bipasha. It is likely that most of the earlier cast will not feature in the sequel, except for Bipasha, that is. She is a leading contender for the leading lady’s role, as far as Bhandarkar is concerned.

Clint Eastwood inspired Saif to turn

2009-06-04T04:47:00.000-07:00

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, who is ready with his debut production venture Love Aaj Kal, was inspired by Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood to get into the business of making movies.

He was shooting outdoors and in the middle of the night he called up Dinesh Vijan and told him about the whole idea of launching a production house. Saif had worked with Dinesh during his movie Being Cyrus,” said a source close to the actor.

Love Aaj Kal is directed by Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali and stars Saif and Deepika Padukone in the lead.

Genelia IN and Jiah OUT in the new film

2009-06-04T04:30:00.000-07:00

Bollywood director Ken Ghosh insists that Jiah Khan’s ouster from his upcoming film had nothing to do with her acting capabilities. He says he roped in Genelia as the heroine’s character changed over time. Ken rubbishes rumours that he made the change overnight as he didn’t like the rushes of whatever had been shot of Jiah so far.

“Jiah performs really well. She being replaced has nothing to do with her capabilities as an actress,” Ken said. So how did Genelia come into the picture? “Honestly speaking, it was the sea change in the female protagonist’s character that caused me to make the change. Earlier, the character was a lot hotter and Jiah fit the bill. Now she’s turned much cuter and Genelia turned out to be the perfect choice,” Ken explained.

“At the end of the day, Jiah and Genelia are quite different, whether in terms of looks or attitude. There is a different kind of energy expected from the newlywritten character and I’m getting that from Genelia,” he added.

The film also stars Shahid Kapur. The director said they were yet to zero in on a good title, but added that it would not be called Yahoo as reported earlier.

Talking about John she says,“John was a sweetheart, we enjoyed each other’s company. There are some friendships that are carried on even after the film is completed. But John and I never became that kind of friends. The SMSes were old ones, not new. All this is rubbish

You heard this here first. Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan Will be dancing at the 10th IIFA awards to be held in Macau from June 11.
Sonam Kapoor is all set to make her stage debut at IIFA this year. Aishwarya Rai too has been confirmed and so has Kareena Kapoor.
The show will be hosted by Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta and Boman Irani.
But one of the highlights each year, the movie premier, has been done away with.
Explains IIFA director Sabbas Joseph, “It can’t be helped. The movie premiere had to be cancelled this year because of the ongoing strike of new releases in Bollywood. two big films were ready to be premiered at IIFA this year. I shall refrain from mentioning their names. But the imbroglio did away with the premiere.”
As a substitute IIFA this year has the world-famous Cirque de Soleil performing for the audience. “We believe audiences won’t get a chance to miss the world premiere once they see the Cirque de Soleil performing.”
Why Macau?
Says Sabbas,“Because we feel it’s the Las Vegas of the East. In this the tenth year of IIFA’s existence we wanted either the US or China to be our venue. We chose China because we feel it could be a gateway for Bollywood to the West. We also hope to end the deadlock between India and China over the exchange of cinema. We haven’t come away from one venue without opening up doors for Bollywood. We’re confident this would be the case in China.”

Katrina Kaif's bonding with Salman's foe, John Abraham

2009-05-30T09:54:00.000-07:00

When they shot for New York, Katrina Kaif and John Abraham kept their distance from each other because of her beau Salman Khan's dushmani with her co-star. But when the recently-separated-from-Sallu Kat shot with Johnny Boy for a music video a few weeks back, the pair bonded.

B-Town is abuzz with rumours of this new dosti between Sallu's ex and his foe.

Sceptics might question the timing of these rumours as the film is ready for release and pass it off as nothing more than a publicity gimmick. But Salman Khan's camp insists that the actor has proof that his arch enemy and his ex are in touch with each other. Khan is known to keep tabs on his ex-girlfriends.

And he is doing the same with Kat. Reveals a source close to the actor, "Salmanbhai got hold of Kat's mobile bill and saw many calls and SMSes made and received between John and her." One explanation could be that the pair is in touch as the film is ready for release but you can't argue with a jealous boyfriend (ex or otherwise).

Salman is said to be furious at Kat's alliance with the man he considers an enemy. Katrina is now running scared. Even though she is no longer with him, she needs Sallu professionally. Although she has been telling people that she is no longer his girlfriend, she cannot afford to rub him the wrong way and expect to survive in the film industry.

The source continues, "Everyone in the industry is talking about this changed equation between Kat and John. There will surely be repercussions to this new development." Salman is known to be territorial about his gals, years after they've gone of his life. So the big question is: What happens next?

While Katrina and John remained unavailable for comment, a friend of Abraham rubbishes these rumours, "There is nothing going on between him and Katrina. He is just being targeted by someone. The truth will come out soon."

Luckily, for Ranbir... his word was enough
It is believed that when the rumours of Katrina and Ranbir first appeared, Salman called up the Saawariya boy and asked him if he and Kat had something going on. Kapoor assured him that he was serious about Deepika and that he wouldn't dream of cosying up to Salman's girl. Luckily for him, Khan chose to believe him.

Kambakht Bikini Of Sexy Kareena Kapoor

2009-05-30T09:45:00.000-07:00

If “Slum Dog Millionaire’ made by a Britisher who has little idea about Mumbai get so much attention, why can’t every Tom, Dick and Harry try too?

Now Sajid Nadiadwala has always seemed like a producer with money but with much less creativity.

But he could rope in some Hollywood stars for his movie like Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Superman Brandon Routh alongside the lead pair of Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor as well as Amrita Arora And now he’s planning to take the movie to Cannes as well. The movie will be dubbed in English for the event.

This year’s festival which like other years will have producers and distributors from all over the world meeting up to discuss projects and to strike deal takes place from the 14-25 May and the President of the Jury will be French actress Isabelle Huppert.

Kareena Kapoor appears in a bikini again after the super flop “Tashan’ last year (hope it doesn’t meet with the same fate!)

She’s said: “It’s a film which is full of glamour, ” she says, “It has all the elements of a commercial film. You have exciting moments, lot of glitz and glamour and a whole lot of stunning locations to enjoy. I am quite excited about this film because I have an entirely new look in it.”

The hype is there in the country too. A 2-crores promotional video is also being made with Akshay and Sylvester and a Bihar entrepreneur is offering 1 crore alone for the distribution rights in that region.

Let’s wait and watch to see if it’s an all hype -no show thing or much more.

Katrina-John not a hot item, says Bips

2009-05-30T09:28:00.000-07:00

The grapevine is abuzz with rumors that Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif, who reportedly broke up with Bollywood hunk Salman Khan earlier this week, is the new love interest of John Abraham (of Dhoom fame).However, John's current girlfriend Bipasha Basu has cleared the air, saying "No Way!"

In the past, John has been romantically linked up with Mallika Sherawat (when the two did a world tour), Lara Dutta (Elaan) and Vidya Balan (Salaam-e-Ishq) but the ravishing Bips has dismissed the John-Katrina link-up as figment of the media's imagination.

"John and I have gone through enough of such gossip. I don't want to give any credibility to this by even commenting on it. It is malicious and absolutely the most bizarre story involving us. Just for the knowledge of people who actually love us together, we are very happy being with each other, and we're responsible and protective about our relationship," the Bong bombshell told The Times of India.

According to a Bollywood source, John and Katrina have being romantically linked up due to their close proximity during the promotion of their movie New York and they were spotted exchanges SMSs. Besides John and Salman are known for sharing cold vibes for quite some time.

"This is bizarre. John was shocked to read stories of his 'latest flame.' He is absolutely happy with Bips and they both had a good laugh over the latest rumor," the source said. Perhaps true. But can the media be blamed since all the Bollywood hotties find John so attractive?

Bollywood Gossip Many media channels do precisely look to pull-on something more interesting from celebrities by shooting polemical questions. Here’s a stark exemplification and Priyanka was smart enough on reverting with a sassy answer. Priyanka Chopra was questioned what’s her take on Kareena saying that she and Shahid are unremittingly using her name for their film’s (Kaminey) publicity? Ah! Priyanka was so cool in responding, “Kaminey is made by one of the best filmmakers (Vishal Bharadwaj) of tinsel town and churned by a great banner. Shahid Kapoor does dual role and me as a Maharastrian woman. I think the film doesn’t need much more publicity than this.” Kareena, are you listening to this? Preferably, these two filles should be waiting for the box office warfare as their films ‘Kambhakth Ishq’ and ‘Kaminey’ hits the screens on alternative weeks in August. Possibly, the producers-multiplex owners tiff may get the releases postponed furthermore. Source

After Dhoom 2 and the absolutely aesthetic kiss with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Hrithik will be seen doing a number of lip-locks with Barbara Mori in his next release, the much-anticipated Kites.

But nothing to make me squirm. In fact I’d be more than happy and completely comfortable watching those kissing scenes with my wife, son and parents when the film is released.” “We were both supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so our director Anurag Basu suggested I kiss Barbara since we were doing something dead-defying and dangerous and potentially lethal. I reached out and kissed her on the cheeks. Barbara turned around to ask why I had kissed her on the cheek. ‘Given the same situation with your real-life wife Sussanne would you kiss her on the cheeek?’ I was floored by her logic.” The take was repeated. “And this time I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation. On the lips,” says Hrithik with matter-of-fact directness.

Shahid Kapoor on his Relationship with Priyanka Chopra

2009-05-15T11:35:00.001-07:00

Ever since Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra began filming 'Kaminey' and started hanging out together, the media, fans and gossip magazines have gone wild with rumors of a hook up. Whether it's true or not is something entirely different. It's no secret that Bollywood gossip watchers love to romantically pair up any two actors that are working together, single or taken (this can't be good for married people). Take Shahid Kapoor for example. He has been linked to past co-stars Amrita Rao and Vidya Balan when in both instances there was nothing there. In fact, the only co-star he's actually admitted to dating is Kareena Kapoor. In the case of Priyanka Chopra though, something does seem a bit different. The two have been hanging out quite a bit and have been spotted at a bunch of different occasions, but have always stayed away from each other when paparazzi was around (except of course when DH! cameras caught them leaving a party together!). Then there's Priyanka Chopra's hospital stay where Shahid Kapoor spent the whole day with her, plus his parents even stopped by for a visit! But alas, neither Priyanka nor Shahid have said anything about their relationship, until now! Shahid Kapoor was quoted as saying this in a newpaper, "Priyanka and I are good friends. However, people have been jumping the gun. If we take our relationship further, I may talk about it; but people are in a rush to link us together." Could this be love in the air (or just pollen)? But it sounds like there could already be something brewing and Shahid Kapoor is trying to work his magic by reeling in Priyanka Chopra (Or he's just trying to shut the tabloids up)! Let the boy work his charm and magic on Priyanka Chopra before the press starts linking them together. Hey, at least he's saying there's a possibility of taking their relationship further! So what do you guys think about Shahid Kapoor's quote? Drop us a comment with your thoughts!

Karan Johar Fights Back

2009-05-15T11:33:00.000-07:00

After being sued for not paying local workers and actors, Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar wants to fight back by suing his production partner Swish Films. Karan Johar is reportedly irritated with the $150,000 lawsuit slapped against his production house in the US for non-payment to local workers. He has now decided to sue Swish Films, which he had hired to supervise the production of the Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor starrer. "Dharma Production is suing Swish Films. Karan's legal department is on the job. Meanwhile, Dharma has decided to clear all the payments of the Philadelphia crew, although the money had already been passed on to Swish for payment," a Dharma Production source said. "But Karan would rather deal with the default allegation first and then take on Swish to get back his money." According to the Philadelphia Daily News, the lawsuit by the film crew cites a violation of a contract by Dharma Productions and its partner Swish Films of Australia for the production of its thriller which may be titled 'Jihaad' or 'KP-15'. It is seeking in excess of $150,000 for unpaid services and expenses for 25 of the vendors hired for the film. The lawsuit also requested a restraining order that would prevent representatives of Dharma which changed its name to Karma Films while it continued to shoot the film in New York last month from leaving the US with its assets, primarily the footage already shot. The dispute began when a Swish producer sent out checks in late December, warning actors, vendors and crewmembers to wait until after January 9 to cash them. The checks bounced anyway, leaving more than $500,000 in unpaid bills. So tell us what you think. Do you believe Karan Johar is doing the right thing by suing his media partner?

Bollywood comes to Cannes with stars galore and budgets for the credit crunch

2009-05-13T19:40:00.001-07:00

With its A-list stars, air kisses and endless red carpets, the Cannes Film Festival is not famous for thrift. That could change today as a host of Bollywood producers descend on the Riviera, hoping to woo global audiences with cheap Indian movies spiced with dashes of Western talent.

Among the titles looking for distributors is Teen Patti, a thriller featuring Sir Ben Kingsley, the British actor perhaps best known for playing Gandhi, and Amitabh Bachchan, the Bollywood star, as mathematics professors.
The film, which is set in the world of high-stakes gambling, has been made for $7.5 million (£5 million), a pittance in Hollywood terms. It was shot in Mumbai, London and Cambridge by the producer Ambika Hinduja, a member of India’s wealthy Hinduja family. She says that the project is “globalised cinema” a genre epitomised by the darling of last year’s festivals, Slumdog Millionaire, made for £15 million, but which went on to take £225 million at the box office.
Like Slumdog, Teen Patti has dialogue in English and Hindi and an austere budget. “Teen Patti has been made for a world audience,” Ms Hinduja said. “Producing it in India lowered costs, which helped us assemble an array of global talents.”
As well as Sir Ben, who is thought to be the first Oscar-winner to act in a Bollywood film, Western contributors include Hughes Winborne, who won an Academy Award for editing the Hollywood blockbuster Crash.
Other modestly budgeted Bollywood films have equally lofty ambitions of broaching cultural barriers. The romance Kites pairs Hrithik Roshan, one of India’s most bankable leading men, with Barbara Mori, an actress who has a massive following in Latin America after appearing in Mexican soap operas.
With dialogue in Hindi, Spanish and English, it is hoped that the film, which was shot in New Mexico and cost about $30 million to make, will draw audiences in South America as well as South Asia. The budget was kept in check by doing all the post-production work in India, a route increasingly being taken by Hollywood to slash costs.
The film will be released in two versions: a full-blown Bollywood rendering with song-and-dance numbers for India, and a much shorter international edition without the dancing, to appeal to overseas sensibilities. Several other East-West collaborations are likely to be discussed at Cannes, including Kambakkht Ishq, a rom-com starring Akshay Kumar, India’s favourite action hero, and the actress Kareena Kapoor.
It marks the Bollywood debut of Sylvester Stallone, who appears along with Brandon Routh, who played the last cinematic incarnation of Superman, and Denise Richards, a former Bond girl. “For us to have Rocky, Superman and a Bond girl in one film — it must be destiny,” said the producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
Hits Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) Budget: $11m; US box office: $178m. Stars were offered a cut of the profits as payment. The movie became the second-highest grossing film Halloween (1978) Budget: $325,000; US box office: $47m. This teen horror flick starred Jamie Lee Curtis, then unknown.
Blair Witch Project (1999) Budget: $35,000; US box office: $460m. Shot entirely on a handheld camera in the woods of Maryland using unknown actors, the horror film was marketed primarily on the internet And misses . . . Waterworld (1995) Estimated budget $175m; US box office gross: $88m.
An infamous flop, the tale set after the melting of the polar ice cap only clawed back production costs with video sales Cutthroat Island (1995) Budget: $92m; US box office: $10m. The pirate movie listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest US box office flop. It bankrupted Carolco, the production company behind Terminator 2.

Now, that Sonam Kapoor is the brand ambassador of L’Oreal representing the younger generation, she doesn’t mind taking a pinch at Aishwarya Rai who is again associated with this brand, but for a generation older than Sonam. So, where Sonam is endorsing products that are meant for young people, Aishwarya is endorsing anti-wrinkle and anti-aging products obviously for older ladies.
