Shah Rukh Khan knows the art of balancing his personal and professional life. Being busy in his film and endorsement shoots SRK hardly used to get time for his family. But now he has found a way out. The actor has decided to shoot his endorsements from home so that he can spend more time with his family. A source informs that some portions of his building have been designed in such a way that product companies that he is endorsing can shoot their commercials there. Commercials for Dish TV and Airtel have already been shot at his home Mannat. The other building behind Mannat is his personal office which houses his gym and rooms for his staff. However the top two floors and the terrace have been given for the shooting of commercials. Well that has saved his traveling time and shooting time that he used to spend on the set. Through this smart move he can spend more time with his wife and two growing kids and at the same time he can concentrate on his work. Not just this, there is mo

Bollywood actor Anupam Kher's close friend Karambir Kang, general manager of the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel, lost his wife in the Mumbai terror strike. A very upset Anupam says he is "numbed" by the massacre of 183 people. "Karambir has lost his wife and two children. They were burnt to death. He's a close friend. How am I going to face him? I'm numbed by what has happened to Mumbai," Anupam told IANS. Anupam says that he never thought that the script of his latest film "A Wednesday" will turn into a reality. "So far we used to see such things only in movies. When I did a film on terrorism called 'A Wednesday', I had no clue there would be such a savage terrorist attack on Mumbai on a Wednesday. "'A Wednesday' was about a man (Naseeruddin Shah) who takes up the challenge of protecting a city under siege. In the film, a common man gives it back to terrorists. In real life, the common man is a hapless victim,&qu

Salman Khan has had a very bad 2008. His two big films God Tussi Great Ho and Yuvvraaj flopped miserably at the ticket window whereas; his special appearance starrers Heroes and Hello were just about moderate successes. But finally the handsome actor has got a reason to smile! His Rumi Jaffrey directed God Tussi Great Ho also starring Priyanka Chopra is a big hit in the home video circuit! The film was a poor show at the box office all throughout India when it released on August 15th alongside Yash Raj’s Ranbir Kapoor starrer, Bachna Ae Haseeno. It is now learnt that the film has very good DVD/VCD sales across the country since it was released by T-Series last month. Salman’s girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s Singh Is Kinng however leads on the Home Video market and the film is huge, probably one of the biggest success ever but it was expected from Singh Is Kinng as it was a huge hit and broke may records. The success of God Tussi Great Ho is a different case as it was rejected at the box of

Southern actress Asin, who has two big Bollywood movies in her kitty - Aamir Khan-starrer Ghajini and Vipul Shah’s London Dreams - says she can’t settle for substandard deals. “I’m very excited about both Ghajini and London Dreams. I’ve a long list of criteria for selecting a role, beginning with the director, banner and co-star and ending with the cinematographer. I want them all to be just right. Am I being greedy? Perhaps. I’m sorry. I can’t settle for anything but the best,” Asin said. In London Dreams, Asin plays a singer and gets to play the guitar and sing on stage along with Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan. “It’s something I’ve never played before. In fact, I think it’s a role never seen in Indian cinema. Beyond that I can’t talk about it,” she said. The makers of her Hindi films have forbidden her from talking to the media and Asin has no choice but to comply.

http://bollywood-newz.blogspot.com In our music review of the Aditya Chopra directed Shah Rukh Khan starrer, RAB NE BANA DI JODI, we had claimed that "Haule Haule" is one number that even SRK's adversaries will fall in love with. Check out our review! And it appears that we were absolutely on dot. The song has certainly hit the right chords and the Salim–Sulaiman composition is now a chartbuster. Shah Rukh Khan's cute dance steps (choreographed superbly by Vaibhavi Merchant) and its infectious rhythm, as well as its lovely lyrics (Jaideep Sahni) seem to be ruling the hearts as well as the charts. The proof of its popularity lies in the fact that it is reigning supreme on all countdowns be it the FM charts or the popular music television channels as well as printed publications. And for the skeptics who doubt these countdown charts and feel that they can be manipulated, here is a proof that cannot be denied. Yes, its marriage season in India and "Haule Haule&q

While shooting for a tough and dangerous action sequence for the movie Kites, Latino sensation Barbara Mori made her co-star Hrithik Roshan shed his inhibitions to express love in one of its natural manifestations, the kiss.Hrithik confirmed this with matter-of-fact directness and said, “We were both supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so director Anurag Basu suggested that I kiss Barbara since we were doing something death-defying and dangerous.I kissed her on her cheek at which she turned around to ask, ‘Given the same situation with your wife Suzanne, would you kiss her on the cheek?’ I was floored by her logic. The scene was re-shot and I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation.” An amused Hrithik added, “Is kissing such a big deal? Hasn’t our cinema grown up? There are kissing scenes in Kites but nothing to make me squirm. I’d be more than happy watching those scenes with my wife, son and parents.” Emphasising the need to

Fitness is about staying healthy in the body, with the muscles, bones and the super-structure strong, the endocrine systems secreting the right amount of fluids, the blood coursing through in exactly the right quantity and basically remaining in a high state of energy throughout the day. Health is also about awareness of the changes that are happening in the body and the environmental surroundings. This awareness works like a perfect disaster warning system, which will alert you to take the necessary precautions to avert a crisis and even handle it better. Fitness is a wholesome process that involves not just one individual, but the whole lot of people around every one of us - the family, the work environment, society, country and nations as a whole. It is a collective energy. Individual fitness practices can at best work like a micro-climate under a tree. Despite the pounding heat from the sun, it feels really cool to stand in the shade of a tree and breathe some fresh air that wafts

Bollywood action thriller Dhoom 2 is reportedly being remade downsouth under the name ‘Dubai Babu’. The movie in Kannada has the south superstar Upendra playing a cop on the trail of a clever and elusive thief, played by Aryan Vaid . In a recent media report, Aryan confirmed that his character is styled on the lines of Hrithik Roshan in ‘D2’. “My character is as flamboyant as Hrithik’s, but much meaner and far more cold-blooded. Even my get-ups in the film are almost like Hrithik’s,” Aryan is quoted as saying. The actor said he was chosen for the part after the makers of the Kannada film saw him in the controversial movie ‘Deshdrohi’. The Kannada movie has Nikita playing Aishwarya Rai ’s character while Kumar Govind enacts Uday Chopra ’s role. Naganna is the director. It is still unclear if the producers have taken permission to remake the film from Yashraj Films , the makers of ‘Dhoom 2’.

Zayed Khan locked lips on screen for the first time in director Subhash Ghai's newly released film Yuvvraaj and says he was embarrassed to watch the scene with his wife and other family members. "Firstly, I've never done intimate scenes like these on screen. I'm a family man with a wife and a son. And to watch the scenes with my parents at the premiere gave me the shivers. What would they think? On top of it all, it was our marriage anniversary. What a gift for my wife," said Zayed. Fortunately, Zayed's wife Malaika was quite 'cool' about the intimate scene with Amrit Maghera. The film, also starring Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, was released on November 21 but didn't get an encouraging response at the box office. According to a source, it took all of Ghai's persuasive powers to convince Zayed that a lip-to-lip was very much the order of the day. "It isn't just a kiss in Yuvvraaj . It was a huge smooching spree between

They throw parties to be one up on the other, he has one party in almost five years and all the industry wallahs make a beeline for his house. They wax loud their fat remunerations, he has already stashed his booty away for a rainy day. Yes, Akshay Kumar has beaten all the Khans in their own game of acting, panache and smart business moves. Like Shah Rukh, Akshay is smart and has a business acumen that can be rivaled by few. His fee includes distribution deals that far surmount the fees of an actor. And he is the favoured one right now. Ask Neo sports or Percept Picture Company. He doesn’t restrict himself to just acting in his films, he actively participates in the promotion of his films. He believes that it plays a crucial part in the success of a film and just like SRK, Akki has promoted his last few releases like Bhool Bhullaiyya, Welcome and Singh Is Kinng in a big way that has got

The aged actor was deeply humiliated for that derogatory scene of beating and reacted strongly about it. Though Farah and Shahrukh apologizes the actor for their wrong, Manoj Kumar did not rest in peace. The makers tried to convince him in many ways but failed to do so and ultimately Manoj Kumar dragged the trio to the court.

India's Bollywood film industry ground to a halt Thursday as violence stemming from terror attacks in Mumbai kept workers at home, The Hollywood Reporter said. More than 140 people were killed and more than 300 injured in the terrorist incidents, which began Wednesday and continued Friday. Much of the violence took place at the posh Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, a hot spot where many celebrities stay and film business is conducted. The Hollywood Reporter said Australian television star Brooke Satchwell, who was working in Mumbai for three weeks, was in a meeting Wednesday inside the hotel when armed assailants burst into the building firing their weapons. "We felt a little bit like sitting ducks," Satchwell told Australia's 3AW radio station. She went on to say she and others hid in a bathroom stall until hotel security came and escorted them out of the building, past corpses and into the street.

Mumbai, India's financial capital and the heart of Bollywood, the world's largest film industry by number of annual productions, was reeling Thursday from 16 coordinated terrorist attacks that killed 101 people and wounded 287 overnight. Business was at a standstill by midday Thursday with many citizens in the city of 19 million choosing to stay home as a standoff between Indian army troops and terrorists continued at the five-star Taj Mahal Palace Hotel -- an institution that is to Bollywood what the Carlton is to Cannes or The Beverly Hills Hotel was to Hollywood of a bygone era. The Taj was aflame most of Wednesday night after young gunmen stormed the place shooting guests and demanding the identity of U.S., U.K. and other Western passport holders. Six foreign nationals are reported among the dead. Australian TV star Brooke Satchwell, who is in Mumbai on a three-week shoot, was in a production meeting inside the Taj on Wednesday evening when gunmen stormed the hotel firin

Amitabh Bachchan, hero of Bollywood action blockbusters such as “Sholay” and “Zanjeer” slept with a revolver under his pillow after terrorists attacked hotels, railway station and an apartment killing 121 people. “I am ashamed to say this. As the events of the terror attack unfolded in front of me I did something for the first time and one that I had hoped never ever to be in a situation to do,” Bachchan wrote on his blog. “I pulled out my licensed .32 revolver, loaded it and put it under my pillow.” Bachchan, 66, who often filmed stunt scenes himself, and was badly injured while shooting a fight scene for “Coolie,” said he spend the entire day watching local television channels reporting on the terrorist attacks with “anguish and anger.” “My pain has been the sight and plight of my innocent and vulnerable and completely insecure countrymen, facing the wrath of this terror attack,” Bachchan wrote. “And my anger has been at the ineptitude of the auth

Subhash Ghai's Yuvvraaj is a colossal flop, and it ain't doing any good for the leading lady Katrina Kaif. This is her first major flop, and it's hard to bite the dust after consecutive hits. A bitchy actress called in to say that Katrina Kaif is one blue funk now, "After six hits, she has now a colossal failure with Yuvvraaj. Guess her jodi with Salman just isn't working." Remember their bit part in Hello? Anyhoo we are not liking her new anorersic look either. She looked pale in Yuuvraaj and is oh-so-thanda on the Vogue cover!" Maybe it's time for Akshay Kumar to save the damsel in distress again? Despite all that the beautiful Katrina graces the cover of Vogue the second time. This time in a purple creation, Kaif oozes confidence. You decide whether she rocks the cover or not!

It is said that there was a scene that both Hrithik and Barbara Mori had to jump from a great height and the scene included a kiss on the cheek which Hrithik gives Barbara before the deadly jump.

They gave it a chase to have a dekho of their favourite star. he Khiladi was trapped inside and it was only after the security guards came to his rescue that he managed to get away.

Shriya Saran never ceases to surprise you at regular intervals. What if her film with Kollywood stars like Ajit and Dhanush did not happen?

Deepika Padukone is a fast learner indeed the actress seems to have perfected the twisty diplomatic ways of B-town quite fast. The long legged lass, who gained an easy access to Bollywood’s A-list directors and actors courtesy her dream debut flick OSO opposite SRK, has now switched sides and is swearing by loyalties to ‘Kinng’ Akshay Kumar . The actress who will be seen in an all-new avatar in her upcoming flick opposite Akshay appears to be hell bent upon impressing Akshay. Even if she needs to ditch her godfather SRK, Dips seems to have no second thoughts about it. In a desperate attempt to allure Akki, the dusky beauty said, " I want to be the female Akshay Kumar". The yet to be established actress, who until now had been an active member of the SRK camp, is much too smitten by Akshay’s irresistible macho charms. Speaking or rather gloating about how the ‘khiladi’ inspires her, Dips said, " It’s a once in a life time opportu

Bollywood filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar enjoys a huge fan following, but he hero-worships Hollywood star Robert De Niro and says meeting him was like a dream come true. Farhan met his childhood idol at the launch of Atlantis Hotel in Dubai on November 20. "I can't even begin to tell you what it meant to me. I mean, everyone who loves cinema loves De Niro, right? But with me it's a little more," Farhan said. "When I heard he was going to be there at the Dubai event, I had to be there too. Yes, De Niro was my primary incentive for attending. I had hoped for a handshake with De Niro at the most. I got a hug. I don't know whether he felt my respect for him. But to see him so up close and personal was an awesome experience. "De Niro turned out to be a thorough gentleman. Everyone there at the Dubai event wanted to meet him. What an ordeal it must have been for him to smile and talk to everyone. But he was so in control," Farhan said. Though De Niro

Salman Khan may look tough on the exterior but he has a weakness and Katrina Kaif knows well about it. Often we hear of people who have worked with Salman praising him to heights. But none (presumably) knows the actor better than the gorgeous Katrina Kaif. She knows not just the actor’s strengths but also his weaknesses. Speaking to a tabloid, Katrina revealed her beau’s biggest weakness. "He (Salman) likes to act tough but it is so easy to win him over. Anyone who wants to get close to him only has to act defenceless, play the underdog and say, ' I have no friends and no one loves me ’. Bas, Salman will adopt that person," Katrina is quoted as saying. Can’t say whether this is weakness or strength. But going by Salman’s close friends, Katrina is spot on in her revelation. Just a few days back, Subhash Ghai sang Salman’s praises and called him a man with “a heart of gold”. Ghai revealed that he was dejected after the failure of his last few releases when Salman told h

By  Subhash K Jha The nation stared in disbelief as Abhishek Bachchan caught hold  of John Abraham and smooched him smack on the lips. Well, at least it looked like a kiss. It wasn’t really. This is the second time in a month we’ve had two men kissing on  screen. The last time it happened in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion where Samir Soni  really kissed his screen lover. Being gay is not really a new thing. We saw Anupam Kher do it years ago in Rahul Rawail in Mast Kalandar and then again in David Dhawan’s Dulhan Hum LeJayenge. In both Anupam played his character effeminate. Sanjay Suri and Purav Kohli played gay straight  with not a trace selfconsciusness in My Brother Nikhil.

The reason that propelled him to do the daring act was just a burning desire to see his favourite actor Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan and also participate in a TV reality singing contest. Saying that he will come back in the evening, he had left his house on the morning of Auguest 14. Only after he landed up in the Jail, he called his parents to inform them of his condition. Soon Ansar Burney, a human rights activist of Pakistan came to India to seek the release of the teenager who got into a quagmire due to his obsession with the Indian film star and not because he committed any unforgivable offence.
