London Dreams might be revived soon…

/photo.cms?msid=2745135 Rajkumar Santoshi is infamous for announcing big projects and then shelving them. But this time however, things seem to be flowing in the reverse order since Santoshi is planning to revive a shelved project of his. The film in question is the ambitious musical London Dreams that Santoshi had launched a couple of years back starring Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan in lead roles.

However, soon after a few scenes were shot on Salman Khan in the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the film was shelved due to some financial problems between the producer and the director.

Sources inform that Eros International had acquired the film for a record price of Rs 40 crores. On learning this Santoshi, who was signed as a director for a fee of Rs 3.5 crores, raised his remuneration to Rs 8 crores. But reportedly producer Param Jeet Singh met with a financial crisis and couldn’t match Santoshi’s price. So the film got shelved.

Now sources inform that Singh is keen to revive the project. Reportedly the producer even met lead actor Salman Khan at his Panvel farmhouse and expressed his desire to revive London Dreams . He also informed Salman that he had to sell his two bungalows to repay his financers. Salman who is known for his kind nature, immediately called Rajkumar Santoshi to revive the project. Now it is believed that Salman is willing to fund for London Dreams as the producer is going through financial problems.

Meanwhile Santoshi who was supposed to make Ashoka with Ajay Devgan and Bipasha Basu seems to be facing problems with respect to that project since his deal with PVR Pictures has apparently fallen through. Now Santoshi is looking out for a new producer to back him. He recently shelved one more film.

Since there is no film in Santoshi’s hand presently, sources claims that he may revive London Dreams soon and might start shooting sometime this year. While Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan are still the choice for the lead roles, there might be changes in the remaining star cast as the makers have to check with the availability of the stars.

London Dreams is about a rock band in England. Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan were supposed to play childhood friends in the movie who are musicians. The film is supposedly loosely inspired from the Hollywood musical Amadeus . Just last year Suneel Darshan too remade Amadeus as Shakalaka Boom Boom starring Bobby Deol and Upen Patel as contending musicians.

Vivek Oberoi: I am a Tamilian

  Vivek Oberoi:-  I am a Tamilian Vivek Oberoi has said he has great affinity for Tamil Nadu Movies and that he makes sure that he visits his grand-parents in Chennai regularly. Vivek Oberoi in an interview to Tamil media earlier had said ‘Naanum Thamizhkarandhan’ (means ‘ I am also a Tamilian ’). Vivek Oberoi earned the good will of Tamil Nadu people when he adopted a Tamil Nadu village devastated by the killer Tsunami in 2004. Vivek’s next two big films have a solid Tamil connection. The immediate ‘ Prince ’ is being dubbed and released in Tamil on April 9. The following ‘ Raktha Charithra ’ by Ram Gopal Varma in which Suriya is also playing an important role is a multi lingual and that too will be released as a direct Tamil version. The most highlighting factor about these films is that Vivek Oberoi will speak Tamil himself for the dubbing. When Suriya and Vikram are learning Hindi for their Bollywood debuts, Vivek Oberoi comes to Kollywood already knowing Tamil. For More

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.

This film is directed by David Dhawan and John Abraham playes a cricketer who resides in the chawl. In a song John and Genelia D’Souza dance to a tapori-ish number with the typical tapori dance steps.
