Salman, Shah Rukh and now Saif! Its Abs-salute madness

18 February 2008 (Sawf News) – Salman Khan started the trend years ago. Shah Rukh Khan jumped on the bandwagon with Om Shanti Om and now Saif Ali Khan is in the Race claiming I 'Khan' too.

So what are we talking about? Abs…six pack! That is what Bollywood stars wear these days on the screen, not shirts.

They don't play roles any more, they fit into them helped by designers and trainers.

The leading ladies still keep their chests covered. Well, most of them. So they name drop their designers while the men talk about their trainers.

So if it's Neeta Lulla for Aishwarya Rai it is Prashant Sawant for Shah Rukh.

’Race’ film stills

In between their shots the actors don't practice their dialogs. Why would they need to - the dialogs are 'sadak chaap'. Instead they do pushups and crunches so that their muscles ripple when the camera rolls again.

Even Aamir Khan is now ready to be counted amidst the 'Kool Khan Klan.'

For his role in the yet-untitled Ghajini remake he has already worked up six-pack-abs. Before he faces the camera he will not only shave his chest but also his head!

Nothing like a shaven head to go with a shaven chest and six packs! That could well be the new trend.

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.

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.

Bollywood: John Abraham’s Slum Connection

Bollywood New Movie Slumdog Millionaire has definitely made the slums of Mumbai a little popular. Perhaps this is why they are so welcoming to every director who wants to make a film on their lifestyle. John Abraham’s fortcoming film Hook Ya Crook is also one of those films shot in the Chikalwadi Chawl of Mumbai. 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. The residents of the slum were delighted to see the stars around and cheered for the unit as they worked. John Abraham added to their delight by giving them autographs and taking pictures with them.
