Mira Nair Gets First Priority: Amitabh

The Big B is all set to get back to work with a vengeance. Foremost on his list of must-do are Mira Nair's 'Shantaram' and Deepa Mehta's pseudo-historical 'Exclusion'.While in principle the Big B has said yes to both the international projects, there seems to be a date problem around the corner. Both Mehta and Nair, seen as fierce rivals, want to shoot their projects in winter. Script and date-wise, Nair has an edge. And the Bollywood icon says he will start shooting for Nair's film as he has already allocated her the dates.'I've already committed my dates to Mira whereas Deepa is yet to finish her script or lock in on the dates. So naturally Mira gets first priority,' Amitabh told IANS.Canada-based Mehta says her script will take some time.'After 'Water' I'm locked away right now working on the script. It's not something I can rush through because it requires historic detailing. 'Exclusion' would be my toughest film ever,' said Mehta.As far as casting goes Mehta has already zeroed in on Terence Stamp, John Abraham and of course, the Big B, who incidentally loved both Mehta's 'Water' and Nair's 'The Namesake' and would ideally not like to relinquish either project. 'I don't know why Mira and I are constantly being put in confrontational situations! I loved her 'The Namesake' and she liked my 'Water'. Now if we're both casting Mr. Bachchan, it shouldn't become a tug 'o' war between us,' Mehta said.

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. ...

Barfi! (2012) - Movie Review

Three young people learn that love can neither be defined nor contained by society's norms of normal and abnormal. Director: Anurag Basu Writer: Anurag Basu Stars: Priyanka Chopra, Ileana and Ranbir Kapoor  Genres: Drama | Mystery | Thriller Country: India Language: Hindi Release Date: 14 September 2012 (India) Movie Review Silences rarely talked so gracefully. It's been a while considering that we saw a movie that set design at a additional condition to material, put the characters' inner lifestyle before elaborate symptoms of self-identity in a globe controlled by benevolence and appeal. Barfi! is a very sensational movie. It's extremely without mirror. The tale of a deaf-and-mute man who could have started up viewing Chaplin and Raj Kapoor's movies, and an autistic lady who has definitely not seen Shah Rukh Khan in My Name Is Khan, is informed without the items of a noisy songs and other prompters to get audiences' engaged in t...
