Why nobody wants to work with Vivek

VIVEK OBEROI is in a very precarious situation right now. It seems none of the top line actresses want to work with him and most filmmakers have become wary of signing him for fear of not finding male and female co-stars to work with him.

No actress is ready to star opposite him for the fear of upsetting Salman Khan and the Bachchans for obvious reasons. The film in question is KS Adhyaman’s Hindi remake of his Tamil film Thoondil. Bipasha Basu was the only actress who had shown some interest in working with him, since Salman Khan in any case doesn’t get along with boyfriend John Abarham. Remember the tiff they had? Probably she thought what’s wrong in working with the enemy’s enemy. But she has also walked out of the film now, for reasons best known to her. Buzz is that Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra were approached for the role first and they were fine till they got to know the name of their co-star. Priyanka has just patched up with Salman and wouldn’t want to upset him again. While Vidya Balan too feels that working with Vivek could spoil her relations with several people in the industry.

Salman Khan’s clout in the industry is so strong that no one wants to get into his bad books. Besides Salman is a good friend to most except a few people here and there (read Shahid Kapur and John Abraham). And though Salman and the Bachchans including Abhishek have maintained cordial relations, they don’t want anything to do with Vivek. Vivek’s image in the industry has also got spoiled since he has come to be known for interfering in other people’s work and life. He also has a reputation of interfering with the directors and cinematographers giving them un-called for advice on how to make films.

Incidentally it’s the only film Vivek has in hand, apart from good friend Apurva Lakhia’s Mission Istanbul. Even in that film Lakhia has got a fresh actress to star opposite him. Shweta Bharadwaj is the new actress who’s making her debut with the actor.

Negative reports and bad publicity have been affecting Vivek’s career for some time now. Vivek is expecting to sign some plum projects this year but none have happened so far. He has been visiting several holy places to pray for a lift in his career and personal life.

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...
