Arshad turns gambler for Amitabh Bachchan

Arshad Warsi has turned into an incorrigible gambler. And it's all because of Big B. "I 'm doing a film with him called Teen Patti with my career's first female director, Leena Yadav. And there I learnt to play cards because I play a gambler. But it was neither a female director nor the cards that lured me into Teen Patti. Of course, I love the idea of working with Leena . She's so talented and so sure of herself.” But Leena's lure will have to wait. "The main reason I grabbed Teen Patti is Mr Bachchan. I so badly wanted to work with him. Believe it or not, the only film I've done so far with him is the unreleased Zamaanat which was the second film I had signed in my career. Since then, Mr Bachchan has evolved so much. Man, what a rock star! To share screen space with him would be just the challenge I would welcome at this point in my career." And that challenge is around the corner. Also, the challenge of working with a female director. Chuckles Arshad, "Forget working with a female director, I hardly get to do films with females. I think the first fully romantic film I'll do would be a remake of Brokeback Mountain. At least I'm not being taken for granted any more. Producers now listen to me. I'm dying to direct a film."

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. ...

Aamir Khan: I love Sachin Tendulkar's intensity

What is amazing about Sachin Tendulkar is that for 20 years he has been able to maintain a level. There has been no dip in his abilities, his application or his passion for the game. I would say very few people could last this long. I've played cricket and believe me, you can't get out of bed for one week after one gruelling match. I saw him for the first time in 1988 when I was shooting at the Brabourne Stadium and he wasn't playing for the Indian team yet. The team was practising at the nets and I was chatting with Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and a few others. At a distance I could see this kid batting. I was surprised to see that he was middling the ball; he looked so small, and so young. I was zapped. I wondered who this little boy was, who was being allowed to practise at the nets with the Indian cricket team. So I asked Kapil and Vengsarkar, “Who's he? How come I don't know?” They told me he was a new guy called Sachin Tendulkar, who was being seriously consi...
