Anil Kapoor: Not without my daughter

http://news.starboxoffice.com/UserFiles/image/July2009/27-07anil-sonam-kapoor.jpg
Anil Kapoor who didn’t believe in endorsement deals and has never done an ad till date finally agreed to do so because his daughter Sonam was a part of it.

The father-daughter duo will be seen together in a luxury pen endorsement ad for the first time together and inside sources say it is definitely something to watch out for. Anil who received many offers earlier always maintained that it was his acting that would do the talking and not his endorsement deals.

But the actor has finally made an exception for his daughter’s sake and will do anything to keep her in the limelight. Especially when her sunken film career and notorious attitude (read Aishwarya bashing) have been the very reasons for her diminishing star power. The two have been paid a whopping amount for the deal and considering the amount she’s being paid for the Ad, Sonam wouldn’t have to worry even if her next two films were a flop.

Sources added to the press, ‘The brand endorsed by this father-daughter duo, will definitely have an added advantage of targeting different generation and age groups. So no doubt the brand, endorsed by them, will definitely stand to benefit.’

Its hard to imagine how much a Pen is going to determine age groups and target audience, but what the heck! Anil finally did manage to make his advertisement debut that too after a cool 50 years, for him that’s an achievement alright.

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. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
