Bollywood’s gettin’ younger!

Everyone in the world gets their 15 minutes of fame, and now Bollywood’s got new blood, raring to have a go at the box office with their dancing and acting histrionics.


Our present lot of badshahs and queen bees (if there are any) will agree that they can no longer play college-going roles because actors in college are there to essay those roles.

Quoting their fave line “We need to get into the skin of the character,” then for sure, neither can the 40-plus actors nor the 30-plus actresses get into the ‘skin’ of a 20-year-old collegian, barring a hot Shah Rukh Khan in Main Hoon Na. But that doesn’t mean we won’t have college as the standard setting in movies anymore. Remember showman Raj Kapoor’s famous words, “The show must go on”?

And to carry on the show, a young brigade of 20 somethings have invaded the industry. They are busy honing their skills and signing deals with big banners. And the production houses too are more than willing to go that extra mile to take them under their wings.

The most hyped of them all is the RK scion, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor’s son Ranbir and Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam. The two can be called the luckiest to have got their first break in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Saawariya .

And then there’s also badminton champ Prakash Padukone’s lissome daughter, Deepika, who’s riding the popularity wave with none other than SRK in her debut film, Om Shanti Om .

She has walked straight from the ramp into the hearts of many including our Indian cricket team M S Dhoni’s dil! Also in the pedigree league is legendary singer Mukesh’s grandson Neil Nitin Mukesh, whose role in Johnny Gaddar , also starring Dharmendra was well received by critics and audiences alike.

The strikingly tall and handsome Shaad Randhawa, nephew of the beauteous yesteryear Mumtaz, too has made a splash with Woh Lamhe and Awarapan .

Businessman Sunil and actress Maya Alagh’s daughter Anjori is fiercely determined to work in the biz till she’s worked with greats like SRK and Hrithik Roshan, despite the dismal innings on her launch vehicle with Vikram Bhatt.

Then there’s another star in the making — Shahrukh Mirza’s son, the handsome hunk Rehan Khan who’s out there to prove that there’s more to him than just good looks. Recently seen in Awarapan, Rehan has four more big releases next year.

And there is Anjana Sukhani of Salaam-E-Ishq fame, who’s starring in Golmaal Returns and whose film Sunday with Ajay Devgan is almost complete. Ruslaan Mumtaz and Hansikaa have shown their skills and are now waiting to exhale in their future projects.

Though Govinda might have made a comeback of sorts into films with the hit Partner , his daughter Narmada is gearing up for her big launch soon, as is producer Vashu Bhagnani’s son, Jacky.
The industry is abuzz and how, with a starcast like that, any director will be ready to say lights, camera, action! And as far as the audience goes, we just need to wait and watch...

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...
