Bollywood Nawab Saif Ali Khan is known as a very natural actor and is now constantly experimenting with his roles, it will be quite exiting to watch how well Saif will carry off the character of a terrorist. Karan Johar is the producer of the film to be directed by Rensil D’Silva who was the writer of the blockbuster ‘Rang De Basanti’. This film will be Rensil’s debut vehicle in directing.
 
The hot couple of Saif and Kareena once again team up and gets a second chance to take revenge at all those people and critics who mocked at their so called zero screen chemistry in ‘Tashan’, through this untitled film.

The film is being planned as a showpiece which will be very close to real life and has the lead character coming to a city for a mission of a lifetime. Post the success of ‘Race’ Saif is choosing his roles with much care. Rensil D’Silva will be giving his best shot in his first try as an director and Saif Ali Khan will be trying to give out one of his best performances in the variety role.

Much hyped futuristic film ‘LoveStory 2050′ is everyone’s point of discussion these days. Harman Baweja has made it known that he is a little bit nervous before the release of the film and he said the same even while rehearsing for his stage performance with his lady love and co-star Priyanka Chopra for this year’s IIFA at Bangkok.

Harman is currently battling the media comparison of himself with the established actor and heartthrob Hrithik Roshan which is based on the resemblance of his face with that of Hrithik. With just a single dance performance, it is yet to decide whether Harman is also a good dancer like Hrithik. “Harman is a very dedicated dancer and has committed himself 100% to build up the dancing skills and achieve this kind of excellence”. Sanjay Yadav is the man who said this and if you ask who this unfamiliar guy in the news is, the answer is- he is the man who was responsible and who is still in charge of teaching the new kid on block to shake his leg like a professional. Harman is not the only star who was under the tutelage of dance master Sanjay.

Vivek Oberoi and Ranbir Kapoor had attended his classes before they gave the try to make it big in Bollywood.
He did not become what he is now with ease. After coming to Mumbai from Nagpur, the guy had to struggle a lot before he got a chance to assist choreographer and singer Ganesh Hegde. Sanjay assisted Ganesh for more than two years and then ventured out of his own by staring a dance school called Neo Dance Class at Oshiwara in suburban Mumbai. Harman came to know about Sanjay through some of his friends and then decided to try out to polish his dancing skills under his guidance and now it has been more than two years since Sanjay started teaching dance to Harman.
“He has always been a good dancer, but now he is exceptional”. Harman can remember these words said by his master Sanjay to get strength if he ever feels low on confidence and gets nervous before a grand performance. Source

Bollywood’s most awaited and expected release of the year, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (RNBDJ), which marks the return to direction of the scion of the Chopra family, Aditya Chopra, is progressing briskly. As we had broken the news, earlier this month, the latest addition to the film’s cast is Vinay Pathak, and he has confirmed the news officially.

Unlike the popular perception, the reason as to why it took eight years for Aditya Chopra to return to direction is very simple. The Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Mohabbatein director was busy in production work and had assigned the job of direction to different directors, several of them new. He also completed the setting up of the formidable state-of-the-art Yash Raj Studio.

Coming to the Shahrukh Khan-Anushka Sharma starrer, RNBDJ, unlike Aditya’s previous directorial ventures, as mentioned above, this one is going to be a quickie and if things go according to plans, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi will release before the year 2008 ends. Source

We are talking about the lifestyle magazine Verve’s latest issue that has profiled the top female achievers of this year.

The best part of this list is that there are no rankings or ratings for the achievers. They are simply profiled. And true to the saying that there is no bigger business than showbiz, it is indeed Kareena Kapoor, the reigning queen of Bollywood, who features on the magazine cover. Showing no signs of slowing down when it comes to posing for covers, one surely must’ve lost the count of the number of magazines that she has posed for this year. Well, Kareena is one chic, for whom ‘over-exposure’ just does not hold any water.

The other achievers from the film industry include Aishwarya Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Katrina Kaif, Ekta Kapoor, Farah Khan, and Mira Nair. Overall, this is a collector’s issue and one should preserve it…till the new list comes in! Source

We dont know how will the film Kismat Konnection be treated at the box office but Vidya Balan’s Kismat might favour her. She has had a couple of good films like Parineeta, Lage Raho Munnabhai which all were released during the monsoon. Can this time she again be lucky.

You may not look that much satisfied with the reasoning though, but you have to think and believe that Guru was a hit and among few of her screen presences in Guru, Vidya had a drenched-in-rain scene which was obviously the reason behind Guru flaunting a hit.

Unfortunately, people spent time talking about Abhi-Aish and others in the flick. Thus, though the film was not released in monsoon, the film had a monsoon scene to boost Vidya kismet.

I know you must be thinking about the other side of the coin. Thus I have the list of her other films like Salaam-E-Ishq, Bhalo Theko (Bengali) and Halla Bol which domed at the box office for a simple and single reason of not releasing at the monsoon.

Guess what! Vidya’s Kismat Konnection is getting released during monsoon and thus leaving no room to think of its failure at the box office. What else, Vidya has nothing but to wish re-releasing Halla Bol and Salaam-E-Ishq during this monsoon to click hit. Ha Ha. Now that was a joke. Source

Bollywood hottie bengali babe  Koena Mitra went for face lift followed by surgeries on her nose and lips in order to enhance her beauty. But all this has worked in a negative way for this Saaki Re girl.

Instead of enhancing her beauty these surgeries have had a horryfying effect on her once attractive face. That maybe the reason that this bindaas babe can’t manage a single film and is left with very little money.

Looks like Koena would have to again go for different surgeries to regain her past look. But beware Koena till the date you finish with your surgeries it isn’t too late for you.

We wish you good luck and hope that your comeback doesen’t takes much time because, this is bollywood where names shine and also get vanished. Source

The latest crush of all the female fans, Harman Baweja is fed up because of his resemblence to Bollywood Superstar Hrithik Roshan. Though his resemblance to Hrithik may have helped him strike a cord with movie buffs even before his maiden appearance on tinsel screen, but Harman Baweja is not happy with the comparison.

“My looks are not something that I have manufactured. It is what I have born with. There might be some similarity with Hrithik, but I completely disagree that we look the same or I am following his dancing or acting style,” Harman said. Harman who is all set to debut with his futuristic flick Love Story 2050 , said, there are several actors in the industry whose resemble each other. “The tradition of seeking similarity among the actors is not a new trend. When Shahrukh Khan began in the industry, he was compared to Dilip Kumar and similarly Dia Mirza looks like Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra is being matched with Madhuri Dixit ,” Harman said. Harman, who is being launched by his filmmaker father Harry Baweja in the mega-budget science fiction film ‘Love Story 2050,’ has in the movie performed several dance sequences that resembles that of Hrithik too.

Harman, who has already bagged offers from heavyweight directors like Ashutosh Gowarikar , Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Anees Bazmee , however felt he was far away from stardom.

“At this time, I am concentrating on my work and am just waiting for people to watch my movie and give their verdict whether they find me worthwhile or not”. He said. But hey Harman you can’t run away from the fact that the original is original. Source 

Preity Zinta says she invested in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in spite of warnings from a friend astrologer .

‘In spite of the warning from my astrologer friend, I went for the deal as I had a gut feeling that it is the future. I told my friend that if it doesn’t work for me then I would become the 50th wife of the Sultan of Brunei,’ Preity, who co-owns the IPL Mohali team,says. The star of hits like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’, Preity said it was only in a developing country like India that one could think of buying a sports team.
‘The scenario is going to change after 10 years. One can never dream of buying a team like Manchester United or Arsenal today in a country like England.’ Preity bought Kings XI Punjab in partnership with her boyfriend Ness Wadia and Karan Paul of Apeejay Surrendra Group and Mohit Burman of Dabur. They paid $76 million for the franchise.
She said: ‘My team performed well and I am happy with all the team members and will continue my support for the team.’ As far as her balance sheet was concerned, she said this had not been a profitable year but was optimistic they would do better next time. Source

In any award functions, film promotions or press conferences, the gorgeous Bachchan bahu is evidently quite happy whenever seen with family. Recently, Ash’s usual over the top behaviour became a cause for embarrassment for hubby Abhishek. The couple lately had a heated argument, on their way to attend the IIFA ceremony, when the actress was getting a little too loud and Abhi wanted her to just be soft in her expression.

As the couple was proceeding to attend the award function, with actor Kunal Kapoor, Ash got too loud and vocal, while Abhishek subtly asked her to keep her voice low. Understanding the need of the situation, Kunal promptly left the place in order to stay out of their marital spat.

However, reports reveal that the actress in spite of being warned by hubby couldn’t maintain a low profile. Abhishek then took wife to the hotel lobby, made her sit peacefully and had a word with her to make himself clearly understood.

According to sources, things did not work out for them and Ash continued auguring at the top of her voice, and which is when Abhi completely lost his temper and ended up telling his personal security guards to escort his wife to her room.  Now, does that imply that the couple has finally outgrown the so very ‘happy-happy’ beat of their marriage? We definitely hope not and wish that the misunderstandings, if any, be cleared. Source

The hosts of this year IIFA awards Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh tickled all the heads around during the show. But exceptions are always there. Guess what! Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh made the IIFA 2008 night all the more interesting with their good sense of humour. The funny guys who made fun of almost everything and everyone under the sun became the reason for celebrities grumbling under their breath. They performed a gag in which they showed their own versions of the best film nominations like Partner, Jab We Met etc was really funny and had the entire audience in splits.

But there were few who didn’t seem so happy with these guys making fun of their films and amongst them was Katrina Kaif!  The sweet charmy was gloomy all the while the males were cracking on the IIFA stage. Seemingly, Kat was carrying a Sallu affected image. More
