John Abraham's clothes to go international

Model-turned-actor John Abraham's sartorial aspirations seem to have captured the business pulse. His label that hit the stores last year is all set to go international.

Revealing his apparel expansion plans, John said, "Last year we put out exclusive clothes with my brand name into selected outlets in seven cities of India. We gradually created an artificial scarcity for brand. It seems to have worked."

Apparently, fans can't get enough of the Garam Masala star's sartorial line-up, John Abraham apparel, for men and women.

"They're very aspirational clothes and priced likewise. We targeted them for people between the age of 16 and 24. But the core group of buyers for my clothes is between 16 and 40 years," John told IANS.

"In 2008, we're taking my clothes to countries like the US and the UK. The exclusivity factor remains foremost. Even if someone goes to buy John Abraham apparel in the biggest department store in New York, he or she will have a problem getting it. It is not easy reaching out to me. I never want any aspect of my life to be taken for granted. And that goes for my career as well," said the actor, who has only two films lined up in 2008. Sriram Raghavan's untitled venture produced by Rohan Sippy and Karan Johar's film to be directed by Tarun Mansukhani.

"Coincidentally, I will work with Aishwarya Rai in the first and Abhishek in the second. And both are untitled films so far. Maybe we can call them the John Abraham specials," he joked.

John also goes seriously international in 2008 with Deepa Mehta's Luna.

"I already have the name for it - for foreigners, John Abraham is far less difficult to pronounce than Bipasha Basu," he laughed.

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. ...

Shahid Kapoor: I'm waiting for someone special

Bollywood’s man with lightening in his feet, Shahid Kapoor seems pretty chilled out and unfazed by controversies in real life. In town to shoot for an untitled film opposite Anushka Sharma, Shahid seems very comfortable in his skin. While he’s reluctant to discuss about his private life or his rumoured amours with Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Sania Mirza, the teen heartthrob says he’s “learnt to take all the rumours with a pinch of salt” and claims he’s just a “regular” young guy after pack-up. Excerpts from an exclusive interview: Kaminey and Dil Bole Hadippa... are set to hit the screens. Yeah. Their release dates are pretty close to each other. Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...

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...
