Unforgettable Bollywood goes global

http://www.planetbollywood.com/Pictures/Actors/AMITABHBACHCHAN6P.jpg

India's top film Bollywood stars have hit Hollywood as part of an epic global set of shows.

Bollywood icon Mr. Amitabh Bachchan heads up The ''Unforgettable Tour'', which is set to play at the O2 Arena next month. The cast will be joined in the London leg by Shilpa Shetty.

Speaking at a press conference in LA, Amitabh's son Abhishek joked that so far on the tour "the airlines have been forgettable" after apparently losing half the cast's bags.

Actress Preity Zinta promised that by the time the show reaches England, fans should be in for a treat. "I think London is very lucky because by the time we come there we'll have done at least 10 shows so we're gonna be with it, there's gonna be no goof ups!" she said.

Ritiesh Deshmukh joked he was not quite ready to find out how big the audience will be at the London venue, saying: "I have no idea what the O2 looks like, so when I enter there I'll let my nerves take over then."

Madhuri Dixit, guest starring on the US shows only, said Shilpa's guest appearance in the UK should be exciting: "She's such a sweet person, I've known her for some time and she's wonderful, she's marvellous and she just knows what to do."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said the tour shows a much wider audience is embracing Indian cinema.

"The Western audiences are already very aware of our films and that's really a reflection of society as it is today, the world is smaller and the audience is a lot more international," she said.

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...
