Salman prefers Asin over Katrina

Ever since their coming together in the film LONDON DREAMS, Asin and Salman Khan's chemistry has been under the public scanner. Now, after their much talked about bonding during the shoot of the film, the latest buzz is that the equation between the two has progressed to the next level.

According to the reliable sources, "Salman and Asin have hit it big on the personal front. Both the actors have become thick friends post the shoot of LONDON DREAMS. Now, Salman seems to be taking more interest in Asin than Katrina and it seems the new friendship between the two is growing by the day."

Though, earlier it was reported that Ajay Devgan is Asin's good friend, but now it seems the actress has the backing of the muscular Khan as far as her personal life is concerned. Well, for the moment Katrina surely has a new competitor to deal with.

Wasim Akram to coach Akshay Kumar?

Former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram will reportedly make his acting debut in Nikhil Advani's next film, Patiala House. The film stars Akshay Kumar .

New man in Sonam Kapoor’s life?

Sonam Kapoor seems to have found her dream man.She is currently shooting for Karan Johar’s “I Hate Love Stories” which is being directed by debutant Punit Malhotra.

If stories from the sets are to be believed Sonam has apparently got quite close to Punit and the two are said to be dating each other.

Punit, who is designer Manish Malhotra’s nephew, was besotted by Sonam right from the time he met her to narrate the script. Luckily for him, Sonam too responded well.

The two have started spending a lot of time together. They often meet up after the shoot for coffee or dinner.

Sonam, who hasn’t been steady as far as her relationships are considered, is taking it all at a slow pace and keeping everything under the wraps as she does not want dad Anil Kapoor to know about it, at least not right now.

Katrina to do a cameo on Salman’s behest

Producer Ravi Chopra is all set to launch his two sons in his upcoming film “Kohinoor”. The movie marks the debut of his son Abhay as the director and Kapil as an actor.

Till now, the film wasn’t able to roll as there was no heroine.Ravi Chopra was dead sure that Priyanka Chopra would give her nod. After all she is his family friend Ashok Chopra’s daughter. But Priyanka wasn’t keen on doing the film and hence refused politely.

Post that Ravi got busy searching for a heroine. He then approached Genelia, who readily agreed to do the film.Buzz is that Salman has promised Ravi Chopra that he will make a significant appearance in the film. Not only his appearance, he has even assured Ravi of Katrina doing a cameo in the film, which will also be quite significant.

Salman still seems to rule Katrina’s moves!

A feast for Shahid Kapoor fans!

Shahid Kapoor took his shirt off for a fleeting moment in “Kaminey” and caused many to lust. Now, he’s revealing much more of his eight-packs in his upcoming movie “Chance Pe Dance”.

Fans can feast on Shahid’s body which is on show in these stills from his next movie, scheduled to release on January 12, 2010.

Directed by Ken Ghosh and a UTV Motion Pictures production, “Chance Pe Dance” is the story of a talented and passionate young struggling actor called Sameer Behl (Shahid). Positive and brimming with energy, Sameer juggles various jobs while working towards getting his big break in the industry. During his struggle he meets Sonia Sharma (Genelia D’Souza) who is a choreographer.

Just when Sameer is promised his big break, he is left without a house as he cannot pay his rent. Not one to lose heart Sam starts living in his rickety old car and starts teaching dance in a school to young kids who have never won any dance competition. He hates kids and the kids hate dancing.

The struggle in life continues as the director who was to launch Sameer now decides to choose his hero through a talent hunt. Sam is shattered but he diverts his focus towards the kids. Getting over his initial dislike of children, Sam not only emotionally bonds with them, but also helps them win a prestigious inter-school dance competition and gets their confidence back - aided by the spirited and beautiful Sonia.

Tina urges Sameer to enter the reality hunt, with the love and support from Sonia and the kids, Sameer emerges a winner and eventually becomes what he was destined to be, a superstar.

The reason why Kareena Kapoor's films flop

A year ago this question would never have made it to any Bollywood producer's thought process, but the time has come to think about it - just how bankable is Kareena Kapoor?

Like Akshay Kumar, Kareena has doled out flop after flop from mid 2007 all the way to the end of 2009. Sample these films - Tashan, Golmaal Returns, Kambakkht Ishq, Mai aur Mrs Khanna, Kurbaan - they all bombed at the box office. Some might say Golmaal and KIshq made decent money, but what about the ROI? Making the money back doesn't mean the film is a hit, it simply means it flopped. What's more, the films where she 'guest appeared' in, 'Halla Bol', 'Luck by Chance' and 'Billu' all nosedived as well. To add to it, no one even watched 'Roadside Romeo', the animated film that she provided her voice for.

So what is going wrong? Are these bad films? To some extent, yes. 'Golmaal 2' and 'KIshq' were atrocious, one would have to be a lunatic to assume those would be hits with today's sophisticated junta. 'Mai aur Mrs Khanna' was terrible as well, with its flimsy script and half-baked premise. But what about the 'Saifeena' moniker? Bollywood promotes the Saif-Kareena jodi like its the best thing since sliced bread. Remember the vomitous 'Tashan'? That film was made to only cash in on the new buzz of the 'hot' Saif-Kareena jodi. 'Roadside Romeo' had the duo for the same reason. The same goes for the recent dud 'Kurbaan'.

And what happened? It turns out only a few people are interested in watching 'Saifeena' on screen, the rest need a decent entertainment product for the hundreds of Rupees they pay for at multiplexes. 'Tashan' was unwatchable, and 'Romeo' was underwhelming. 'Kurbaan' was not so bad, but it was shoddy and had too many plotholes to make for a serious drama pitched in as a film with a lot of attention to detail. Is marketing to blame here? Hell no! 'Saifeena' films are given humongous promotions. 'Tashan' posters were everywhere, and you can't possibly forget the bare-back poster from 'Kurbaan' which made its way to every nook and corner of the country. The MNS even helped with the film's promotion by creating a big fuss over the alleged 'nudity' in it. Remember the bikini scene in 'Tashan'? Did it help sell tickets? Not by a long shot.

End result? These films were just not good enough. 'Jab we met' was extremely entertaining, will '3 Idiots' follow suit? Or will it bomb due to the Kareena curse? In any case we can expect 'Saifeena' on Twitter anytime soon; Priyanka Chopra began Tweeting to promote 'Kaminey'; Shahid, Genelia and director Ken Ghosh recently became Tweet-happy (hint: Chance pe Dance).

When Shahrukh and Hrithik bonded

Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are known to always be in competition with each other but on Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra's wedding reception they were seen bonding.

At the wedding reception the Khans (Shahrukh, Gauri, Fardeen Khan and Zayed Khan) and the Roshans (Hrithik, Rakesh Roshan and Sussanne Roshan) came in one large group and it was time to bond.

Prior to the reception the Roshans and their family members went to Mannat for a get-together with Shahrukh and Gauri. They came to Grand Hyatt in a large group to wish the newly married couple.

Once they were done with Shilpa and Raj's reception they headed straight back to Mannat to continue with the party. Bollywood stars really are party animals.

Bhajji is my biggest fan: Viru

Sport is all about entertainment. And in cricket, no one entertains like Virender Sehwag with a bat. Not many fans move from their seat when he is at the crease. It is the same in the Indian dressing room too. "Among my teammates, Harbhajan Singh is my biggest fan. He tells me that he doesn't want to miss a ball when I am batting. When I get out and come into the dressing room, he tells me, now it's time to take a nap'," Sehwag revealed.

Launching pad
Rahul Dravid has a heart a big one. After a strenuous net session, he walked into the Cooch Behar Hall to grace the book release function of journalist Rajan Bala, who did not live to see the publication of the book, Days Well Spent. Dravid stayed away from the dais and was happy to be among the audience to listen to his former teammate Sanjay Manjrekar, who released the book. Manjrekar showed what a fine man he is too. When Bala was in his prime, he wrote a story on how Sanjay's father Vijay slapped a kid on an India schoolboys tour to England. The BCCI ensured Vijay did not get any managerial assignments after that.

Sanjay of course, held no grudges and when Bala requested him to release the book in Mumbai, he didn't say no. Pity, Bala is no more!

Zarine Khan is Copy Kat

The theatrical promos of Veer are out today and newbie Zarine Khan who is paired opposite Salman Khan comes off as a lookalike of Katrina Kaif, albeit a chubbier one!

Buzz is that Zarine was selected after a busy Kat had no time for Sallu's dream film. Salman luuves to take lookalikes of his girls.

Remember Aishwarya's copy Sneha Ullal in Lucky No Time For Love? Hopefully, Zarine's career will not go the Sneha way.

Here's why Mehr misses her man

They won't be able to celebrate their birthdays together this year

Arjun Rampal is a very disappointed dad. His wife Mehr with their daughters Mahikaa and Myra were to travel to Australia -- where Arjun is shooting for Karan Johar's Stepmom -- for his 38th birthday but had to cancel their plans.

Says a source close to the couple, "They were looking forward to being together as Arjun has been out of India for more than two weeks and they are a close-knit family. But Myra's school admissions have come up now and Mahikaa has to go to school as she hasn't got leave; Mehr had to stay behind. She is miserable about it as they have always spent their birthdays together."

Plans cancelled
The source adds, "Mehr's birthday falls on November 30 and the couple had planned to celebrate that together as well, while in Australia. Last year, Mehr was to bring in her 40th birthday with a bang at their Bandra home but because of the 26/11 terror attacks they had to cancel it as that time as no one was in a frame of mind to celebrate."

Mehr says, "I am disappointed that I couldn't go to Australia. Myra has interviews for her school admissions while Mahikaa has to go to school. Fortunately, there's some good news. The Stepmom schedule is going on as per schedule and might even wrap up a few days ahead. If that happens, Arjun will be back by December 10."

Ranbir Kapoor has another change of heart

Having delivered two of the 2009’s few hits, Ranbir Kapoor is now focused more on his career, while redefining relationships in his personal life.

First, he broke up with girlfriend Deepika Padukone, whose possessiveness is said to have been stifling Ranbir’s ambition to become the biggest star.

Now, after giving very friendly vibes with Imran Khan right through this year following them co-hosting Filmfare Awards in February (pictured above), he’s suddenly had a change of heart about their closeness.

“Imran and I are friends but not the best of friends. Where is the time for friendship? I don’t even have time for my parents,” he has said.

Ranbir has also ruled out the possibility of him and Imran working together, even though he had been open to the idea till quite recently.

“We have been offered a whole lot of stuff but the offers never went beyond the preliminary stage. I don’t think Imran and I will be working together in any capacity in the near future,” he has told a daily.

“By God’s grace, I am in a position to do solo-hero films with terrific actresses and directors for the best banners. I am a selfish actor. I would rather have a film to myself than share it with another actor.”

Did we hear ‘selfish’?

I am the biggest idiot: Aamir Khan

It seems like the 'pucca idiot' effect. Actor Aamir Khan appears to be in no mood to stir up the Khan war again, especially with Shah Rukh Khan, as his next movie 3 Idiots gears up to open this Christmas Day."I am not the emperor. Instead, I am a joker, I am the biggest idiot," he said when asked for a reaction on being called 'the emperor of Bollywood' - that clearly puts him above the 'King' Khan SRK - by his 3 Idiots' co-star Kareena Kapoor.

Last year, besides taking a jibe at Shah Rukh's No. 1 status in Bollywood, he had also termed Salman and SRK as the industry's idiots along with himself.But now, he clearly doesn't want a clash or war of words."Did I really call them idiots? I don't remember," he said while jokingly checking with other journalists if he had really said it. "I feel a person's opinion keeps changing with times. At different points, distinct people appear idiots to you," he said.

Aamir's latest reaction is in sharp contrast to his last year's diatribe. Maybe, all of that had to with the fact that his last year's hit - Ghajini - released in the same month as SRK's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. But this time round, he has no competition. Coming to Salman, Aamir firmly clarified that his blog shouldn't be viewed as a publicity vehicle for his films. "My blog is not meant to promote films," he stated when asked about Sallu's newly- launched blog for his new film, Veer. However, Aamir was all praise for Kareena. The actor, in fact, found her "too pretty" to be called the fourth idiot. "Kareena has worked hard in this film. As a creative girl, she has come across as very clear and evolved," he added.

Aamir was in town on Wednesday to release a new song of 3 Idiots. Though the event was initially slated to kick off at Sri Ram College of Commerce, it was shifted at the last minute to a five-star hotel due to security concerns."I worked very hard for my physique in 3 Idiots after bulking up for Ghajini. I lost all the weight in six- seven months to look like a college boy," said Aamir, who was accompanied by " the other two idiots - R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi." It's not surprising that Aamir took the centrestage even as Madhavan and Sharman looked on.

Unlike Aamir, the two actors could "easily identify with" their roles.Aamir conversely felt he "never experienced college in real life." "I started working right after my school days as an assistant director in films. So, I could never really experience the thrill of college life. But my school life was fun since I was into sports and would always get less marks," he stated.

Low marks notwithstanding, he has a personal take on the education system. "It should help build complete personalities instead of just focusing on results. I think the current HRD minister is taking the right steps," he said.

Mumbai terror strikes left me numb: Sachin

It was the Chennai Test win over England that brought some smiles on the face of a grief-struck nation following the Mumbai terror attacks on November 26.

As a year has gone by since those horrific terror strikes. Sachin Tendulkar about the impact that the incident had on him.

Here are the excerpts of the exclusive interview
I want to take you back to the attacks one year back. Where were you? How did you first come to hear about it?

Sachin: We were playing against England in Cuttack. We switched on the TV in our dressing room and we could not believe our eyes as to what was happening in Mumbai. And it was hard to believe. I thought are they showing a movie or something. None of us had seen something like this earlier.

And it was an utter shock?

Sachin: Yeah and we could not stop talking about it. We thought it would stop now and we reached back to the hotel. But it went for a long time and we went numb after sometime.

How did it affect you being a Mumbaikar?

Sachin: It's hard to express how I feel as a Mumbaikar. Places like Taj, Oberoi and CST, this is where there are so many people. Growing as a child I used to travel by train. I was very much a part of that. And you see those places being attacked. It's tough to express what I felt because there are so many people I know who have lost they loved ones. Even my children, their friends from school have lost their loved ones. It's very close to my family. It is very difficult to believe that those people are not there between us.

After the England tour was called off it was uncertain if the English team would come back. But they came back and carried on.

Sachin: A big thanks to the England team. If they hadn't come, people would have found it difficult. For a fraction of a second, the Test match sought of diverted out minds. You cannot compare Test victory with the minds of people and sacrifice their lives for us. That loss is forever and all I feel as a part of cricket team we were able to bring smiles and divert their minds.

Absolutely. I think it is important psychologically. You can't compare a cricket match with what happened.

Sachin: If you see the emotions it is the only time when all the grounds men and grounds women came up to congratulate us. That itself speaks for it.

Was it the first time it happened?

Sachin: Yes.

And also about the century. You said it will have a special place in your life.

Sachin: That particular match I will not hesitate to say that it was the most important match of my life.

And the century?

Sachin: It is not about the century but the match and the victory. It meant so much for the entire nation.

Aamir Khan was sad to lose his eight packs

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan who spent a year buffing up for Ghajini was left heartbroken when he had to lose his famed eight pack abs for his role in 3 Idiots.

The 44-year-old actor spent six months losing weight for the film where he plays Rancho, an IIT student, with a normal physique.

"I had to lose weight for the role because I am playing a normal student and a buffed up look would not have worked. But it was heartbreaking to lose the entire year's hard work that had gone into building my body for Ghajini," said Aamir who was in the city to unveil a song from the film, called Sunshine.

The actor said that he was "scared" about playing a young college student in the film and therefore worked hard on his look in the film.

"I had to play a 22-year-old college student and the very idea was scary because I am 44-years old. I wanted to look as small in the film as possible, so I lost all the weight and also walked with a bit of a hunch," said Aamir.

The film by Rajkumar Hirani marks the reunion of Aamir, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan who had earlier worked together in the superhit Rang De Basanti.

The three actors said that their looks in the film were created keeping in mind their characters and not vice-versa.

Lara Dutta's bikini show goes on

For all those people who loved Lara Dutta’s bikini stint in Blue, here’s some good news. She will be getting into a bikini once again for Sajid Khan’s Housefull.

She has defended her move saying that she doesn’t get into a bikini just because she likes to. She couldn’t have done underwater scenes in a burqa in Blue and Housefull has a water sequence for which bikini is required again. She has worked hard on her physique for the bikini sequences and is glad that people have appreciated it.

When told that her films were all sinking at the box office, she states that she ended up taking decisions not by thinking about them logically but based on whim. She is now looking forward to Housefull, which she enjoyed working for with her favorite actors Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Boman Irani.

Amrita Rao’s date with designer

Amrita Rao is hoping to dabble in business and pleasure on her date with acclaimed international designer Roberto Cavalli’s son, Tomasso.Renowned international Italian designer Roberto Cavalli's eldest son, Tomasso, will be attending an event in Mumbai very soon. Amrita is major fan of Roberto’s clothing and accessory line, and is over the moon about meeting Tomasso.

Apart from spending a quiet evening with Tomasso, Amrita hopes to make this association commercially viable as well. When we contacted her about this, she messaged ‘I am very excited to meet the international fashion guru's son, as I have always been a fan of his high-fashion designs. I am hopeful of making a long-term association with the Cavalli brand.’

A designer who worked with her in the past and who refused to be named, spoke rather crudely on the issue saying, “It's probably a good thing, considering Amrita’s fashion sense needs a major upgrade. They could put some really good designs on her, but the part of her wanting to become associated with their brand is a little too far-fetched, I must say. However, I do feel that an actress such as Kareena Kapoor, who flaunts a lot of Cavalli, and that too in a good way, would be perfect as the Indian brand ambassador for them. Cavalli has finally made its way into the middle class section, and Kareena’s popularity could help bring more awareness of the brand in India.”

The designer added, "There was a time when Ameesha Patel preened all over Bollywood that she was going to sign an exclusive contract with Louis Vuitton, since one of the executives from the fashion house met her on an international flight where she was flaunting her LV accessories and was impressed with her. Nothing came of it. Similarly, nothing much will come of Amrita's meeting with the fashion expert. Have you ever seen her wearing anything worthy and memorable of a red carpet appearance?"

Apart from her date with Tomasso, Amrita is going international in other ways by contributing to a fund-raiser hosted by Prince Michael of Kent that will be held in London, as a tribute to the 26/11 terror attack victims. Michael had personally invited her to perform at his event. But she couldn't make it because of shooting assignments. Whether or not Rao makes it big in the international scene - that only time will tell!

She has completed shooting for Hook Ya Crook, which will release in early 2010.

John Abraham dumps Riteish's babe

Aladin girl Jacqueline Fernandez was signed on by John Abraham's good friend for an untitled film.

But now it seems director Sabal Shekhawat is having second thoughts. Sabal, a good friend of John's is still in the scripting process. John too agreed upon Jacqueline. But now both are saying they need a mature face.

Jacqueline was considered initially because the script demanded a sporty-looking glamourous face.

Now with the latest development Juicy Mausi is forced to wonder if she is paying the price of Aladin's disastrous box-office results.

Katrina and AIshwarya Connected through mythology

Two of the most beautiful actresses are connected by an uncanny coincidence. The forthcoming films of both the stunners are based on the religious Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, starring Aishwarya Rai as Sita, is based on Ramayana. It has south star Vikram playing Ash’s hubby and Abhishek Bachchan playing the villain who kidnaps Ash and takes her into a forest. Govinda’s character, based on Lord Hanuman, is that of a forest guard who helps trace Ash.

Prakash Jha’s film Rajneeti, on the other hand, is based on Mahabharata. The film, a political thriller, borrows a great deal from the politics of Mahabharata. Ranbir Kapoor plays an Arjun-like character who, with the help of his mentor, takes on his rivals. Katrina too plays a politico in the movie that stars a host of actors including Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai and Nana Patekar.

Both ‘Raavan’ and ‘Rajneeti’ have Ash and Katrina in non-glam roles; the stunners are dressed demurely in sarees. Another coincidence is that both the films are set to release in May next year. Though it’s unlikely that the films would clash at the marquee, they would, at best, release with a gap of two weeks in between.

Who will emerge victorious in this battle of supremacy at the box office, we’ll know next year.

Urvashi Sharma not willing to Strip in front of Camera

A Bollywood actress who’s yet to make her mark in the industry despite two releases gets a plum offer to act in a British film. Remember, post the success of Slumdog Millionaire, any sensible struggler in Bollywood would want to emulate the incredible success Freida Pinto has witnessed.

So actress Urvashi Sharma was obviously excited when she was offered the lead role in ‘The Bounty Hunter’ to be made under the banner of Endboard Films and funded by UK Film Council. It was a super opportunity for the pretty babe (seen in Naqaab and Baabarr) to springboard to international stardom.

But many a slip between the cup and lip.

Then, to her utter dismay, Urvashi was told of a nude scene which she had to do for the film. The actress, however, was simply not willing to strip in front of camera even though she was assured that her nudity would be filmed aesthetically.

Urvashi says she didn’t mind exposing a bit of skin, but to go totally nude for a film is unthinkable for her.

So the actress took the tough decision and walked out of the movie even though the flick could have been her ticket to Hollywood.

Priyanka loses her make-up for Vishal Bhardwaj's next

In her next, a female-centric flick with Vishal Bhardwaj, Priyanka Chopra will be greasepaint-free. The film is based on a short story written by Ruskin Bond.

A source reveals that Priyanka plays an Anglo-Indian woman who will have seven husbands and eventually end up killing them all. Reveals a source, "It's Priyanka's toughest role to date. Her character is extremely volatile. It being an out-and-out thriller, PC's look will also be different. It was Vishal's idea to make her totally make-up free. Her plain-Jane look worked in Kaminey, and he wants to recreate that again."

This will be Vishal's first woman-oriented film. "The protagonist is a girl and the story is told from her perspective. Also, apart from PC there is no other major known face in the film. The seven husbands will be played by relative newcomers or by supporting characters."

Ruskin and Vishal have been working on the screenplay together. The movie goes on floors early next year.

Murder kiya re!
According to the script, PC will come up with ingenious ways of killing her husbands. According to sources, an overdose of Viagra will bump one of her old husbands off.

When Hirani turned down Aamir Khan

Had things gone a different way, we might have seen Aamir Khan playing a man hallucinating about Mahatma Gandhi instead of Munnabhai taking gyan from the father of the nation in Lagey Raho Munnabhai.

“He (Aamir) said he was keen to work with me after Munnabhai MBBS and inquired whether I was working on any script. I replied in affirmative saying I was working on one and would take a couple of months before narrating it to him,” director Rajkumar Hirani tells a news agency.

“I was working on a script about a man hallucinating about Gandhiji. He had met Gandhiji in the 40s and then went into coma. This was the idea that I was developing. The story was becoming serious and then I realised what if Munnabhai met Gandhiji, the story would be light hearted,” Hirani added.

Thus, ‘Lagey Raho Munnabhai’ took shape and Sanjay Dutt was roped in instead of Aamir Khan.

But Aamir’s wish to work with Hirani came true in the director’s third film 3 Idiots. The perfectionist Khan suited the lead role but Hirani still felt embarrassed while approaching Aamir for it because he had turned down the actor previously.

“When we met again for '3 Idiots' he recalled that I had refused to work with him. I was embarrassed as I was honest with him that time,” Hirani recalled.

In ‘3 Idiots’ Aamir plays a 22-year-old college student along with Madhavan and Sharman Joshi. Though the movie is inspired from Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘Five Point Someone’, Hirani says the script has been altered so much that very little of the book now remains in the film.

Crime time for Shahrukh Khan’s wife

If Bollywood Badshah wants to leave his indelible mark on the small screen, his better half is no different. Shahrukh Khan’s wife Gauri Khan is all set to produce a show based on crime.

The wifey-turned-producer, according to reports, has set her eyes on hit TV show CID and wants to produce a similar show. Gauri’s production house is working on short crime stories that will be shot as part of the serial.

In fact, SRK also plans to produce a couple of shows for small screen, and, as anticipated, will soon start a show like America’s ‘Next Top Model’ hosted by hot supermodel Tyra Banks. He is also in talks with Bipasha Basu to host the show which will be tentatively titled ‘Female Model Hunt’.

After producing hit films together, the powerful husband-wife duo seem ready to rule the television world.
