“Get a good Hindi dialogue writer” is what Shahid Kapoor advised director Linguswamy when the Tamil-to-Hindi remake of his Tamil hit “Vettai” was not working out. Now everything is sorted out and the movie is set to go on floors in June.

Shahid Kapoor joined the project on condition that a reliable and sound Hindi dialogue writer be brought into the project. So Prasoon Joshi will likely pen the dialogues for the movie that will go on floors in June.

Barely able to communicate in English, Linguswamy said: “I cannot communicate in Hindi. And the dialogues were not being translated properly. That was the main problem. Now my producer UTV is hiring a dialogue writer of their choice. That writer will be getting together with the Tamil dialogue writer of ‘Vettai’ to get the essence of the dialogues.”

Linguswamy admits the words were getting in the way.

“We’ve sorted out that problem and now we’re getting ready to start shooting. You must understand I’ve never done a Hindi film. And it’s an all-new experience for me. The Hindi version of Vettai has to be totally different from the Tamil. It’s a different culture for the national market. And I’m trying to understand the market,” he said. More

Salman Khan is Arjun Kapoor’s mentor, but the superstar praises Parineeti Chopra more than Arjun after seeing the trailers of Ishaqzaade. While talking to a channel, the new kid on the block reveals that Salman Khan finds the trailers of Ishaqzaade “good”.

Arjun Kapoor idolizes Salman Khan, the actor whom Arjun looks up to, aspires to be and seeks inspiration from. When Arjun showed the trailers of Ishaqzaade to Salman Khan, the actor liked it and said “good”. Arjun says that it means a lot to him. If Salman Khan isn’t criticizing or being negative about something that means he has liked it. The ‘Ishaqzaade’ boy also reveals that if Salman is close to somebody then he minces no words.

When Arjun Kapoor was a chubby fella not aspiring to be an actor, Salman Khan could see a star in him and pushed him to hit the gym, shed the extra kilos and be toned. Though he gave Arjun reasons to be an actor, after seeing the trailers of Arjun’s debut Ishaqzaade, he liked Parineeti more. More

Since the birth of her second child Kajol has been on a break. The actress feels that a break every now and then makes life all the more interesting. Here’s are a few excerpts from an interview with the actress.

Question: You’re said to be the strict parent. Apparently, Ajay doesn’t like you scolding your children when he’s at home.

Kajol: I have to be strict because I’m more of an ‘at home’ parent. When Ajay is around, it’s playtime. Our children are used to me in his absence.

Question: Seeing them grow up, what do you recall of your own childhood?

Kajol: I feel very bad for my mother, granny, aunts and uncles. I was much more of a brat than my children are. Of course, I was an angel when my mom was around; then I was a monster, a cute lovable monster. More

This news might just be what the fans of Aishwarya Rai have been longing to read from months! The hazel-eyed actress may well make a comeback with Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar 3!

Sarkar 3 will also feature Amitabh Bachchan, of course. If the buzz is to be believed, the movie will go on the floors this October as the script of the film is almost ready! And sadly, as we all remember, in Sarkar Raj, the character played by Abhishek Bachchan dies! Thus, the chances of him featuring in the movie are zero (unless there is some reincarnation; which we seriously hope is not the case)!

Earlier, it was said that Aishwarya Rai will make her comeback with either John Abraham in Happy Birthday or Shahrukh Khan in Bajirao Mastani! More
