It is said that catfights are inevitable when two actresses work together in a film, but Bipasha Basu and Sonam Kapoor proved it wrong by bonding well on the sets of their forthcoming action thriller “Players”. Both shared a “talkative” equation while shooting.

“Something very similar between us is that we can’t keep our mouths shut. We just talk about ourselves. We are one of those girls who just want to talk about ourselves,” Sonam told reporters here Thursday.

Came Bipasha’s quick admission. “Abhishek (Bachchan) gets tired because we talk to each other and keep talking about ourselves.”

The actresses denied any catfights. “As you see we are not having any catfights, Abhishek told us we are not making enough news because we are not fighting!” said Bipasha.

Often referred to as “talkathon” by her friends, Bipasha is quick to admit Sonam takes the cake when it comes to yapping. More

Thanks to Sheila Ki Jawani and Chikni Chameli, we have no doubt about the fact that Katrina Kaif must have received countless offers to perform at a hotel or a party on the 31st of December. And while most stars cash in on their popularity and dance on the eve of New Year, Katrina Kaif has declined all the offers.

Katrina Kaif said that it’s only during New Years and Christmas that her whole family comes together; and that is a really special occasion for Kat! She also said that she would never let go these special family moments just coz she has to perform at a hotel!

Not only this, Katrina Kaif also said that she would only perform on New Years if she is given a mammoth amount of money! She said that the amount should be so huge that it compensates the amount of working in two movies or so that she can buy another house for herself in London; and she says she has not received any such luring offer yet!

Actress Priyanka Chopra has been very busy of late, first promoting Don 2 and now Agneepath, but she still manages to look fresh. The actress asserts that she doesn’t stress easily.

“Not really. It’s easy to make me upset but not to stress me out,” said the 29-year-old.

Next year is expected to be equally hectic for Priyanka who is working in Barfee, Teri Meri Kahaani and Krrish 2. Source

Farhan Akhtar  is dying to take a break from work. With DON 2 out of his way and taking a very good opening that would ensure that at least a hit status is round the corner, Farhan is managing to breathe easy. As a producer his TALAASH is six months away which means he can now afford to take a break, something that he hasn’t done since he faced the camera for ROCK ON.

Informs a friend of the filmmaker/actor, “Farhan hadn’t imagined in his wildest of dreams that he would become mighty busy as a filmmaker as well as an actor when he first acted in ROCK ON. It seemed like just a solitary film that he wanted to experiment with and then return to making movies as a producer and director. However that was not the case to be and resultantly, he had to multitask with his various assignments.”

This meant that immediately after ROCK ON, he completed LUCK BY CHANCE as well, his second film as an actor. In fact acting bug bit him to such an extent that he went on to score a hat trick of acting assignments with KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK. More

Taking time out from his busy schedule, Karan Johar today announced his year 2011 favourites on Twitter.

Earlier today, Karan started an award ceremony of his own on the micro-blogging site by naming, who’s been the ‘Best of Bollywood’ according to him.

KJo started with song of the year and wrote, “Chamak challo is my favourite song of 2011 and ooh la la is a close second!!! Take a bow vishal and shekhar!!!”

Johar declared Vidya Balan and Ranbir Kapoor as the performers of the year, for doing complete justice to their characters in ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Rockstar’ respectively. “Ranbir and vidya are undoubtedly the performances of the year for rockstar and dirty picture respectively!!!” he posted.

Moving on to the next category, film of the year, Karan gave credit to both the Rs. 150 crore venture ‘RA.One’ and ‘Don 2′. More

Before the release of The Dirty Picture, it was Vidya Balan who was showering praises on Naseeruddin Shah. And now, it is Naseer Sahib himself who can’t help commending Vidya Balan!

At the music launch of his film Chaalis Chauraasi, Naseeruddin Shah told reporters: “She is a marvelous actress. She has been very brave, not just worked very hard but she is courageous in her choice of work… It is a testimony to her courage that she is in a position that most of our leading ladies would envy her today.”

Come 26th January 2012 and audiences will be in for a double treat. As the big day will not only see the release of the keenly anticipated film AGNEEPATH starring Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra in pivotal roles but also the first look of Akshay Kumar’s ROWDY RATHORE.

Buzz is that Karan Johar’s AGNEEPATH will carry the first theatrical trailer of Prabhu Deva directed ROWDY RATHORE. So the makers of ROWDY RATHORE are getting the trailer readied to attach with hi-octane action-packed film AGNEEPATH.

So this Republic Day get ready to experience a heavy dose of action in the form of Hrithik’s AGNEEPATH and Akshay’s ROWDY RATHORE! Source

Contrary to popular misconception, it was neither Hrithik Roshan nor Sanjay Dutt who was the most difficult to be cast in AGNEEPATH. Instead, it was Rishi Kapoor who kept Karan Johar waiting for over 100 days before consenting to do the film where he would be seen in an out and out negative role.

“Rishiji plays ‘Rauf Lala’ in the film and those who have seen Amitabh Bachchan’s version of AGNEEPATH would remember that there was no such character in the original. When director Karan Malhotra approached Rishiji with this character, he was simply shocked. Though he has played a villain in KAL KISSNE DEKHA and BOL RADHA BOL, it still wasn’t as menacing as AGNEEPATH. He flatly refused because he was unsure if he would be able to do justice to the film,” says a close associate of Karan.

Though he was sure about his capabilities, he wondered whether audience would be willing to accept him as a villain. More

While many are looking forward to see Sanjay Dutt’s performance in AGNEEPATH, the actor has got more news to keep all excitedly waiting for his new projects as well. Yes, Sanju Baba has recently signed two new films for T P Aggarwal’s banner Star Entertainment Worldwide Pvt Ltd.

One among the two movies is an action thriller in which Dutt plays the role of a cop. South director K S Ravikumar, who is presently directing RANA with Rajnikant in the lead, will be directing the film. The actor will also be seen in a comic role in the other movie which will be directed by Sangeeth Sivan. Arshad Warsi and Rahul Aggarwal will also sharing the screen space with Dutt. Few more eminent artists are likely to be signed shortly for both the films.

Shooting of the films will commence from April, 2012. Dharam Oberoi will be the co-producer for both the projects. Source
