What’s Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Raashee

http://images.taragana.com/2009/05/18/1525213858.jpg
Ashutosh Gowarikar has been in the news for everything other than his latest release What’s your Rashee?

The director is known for his outbursts at public events, the most recent being the one in which he told his leading lady Priyanka Chopra that she didn’t deserve the Best Actress Award. Priyanka was very upset but it seems that the cold war has ended, she said, “I’m very happy to have worked with Ashu Sir, a director of such calibre. I haven’t been in this biz for that long but I’m thankful that I have had the opportunity to work with him.”

Ashutosh Gowarikar is hoping that his latest flick that also stars forgotten actor Harman Baweja will have the same fate as his last blockbuster Jodhaa Akbar. “This is the first time I’ve ventured into the romantic comedy genre. I didn’t want to limit myself into the same genre and I wanted to experiment and do something light for a chance. I hope it has the same success as my earlier films, even if the audience smiles during the film, I’ll be happy,” he said.

The film which is based on the adaptation of a novel is about a young Gujarati man in pursuit of his dream girl with the catch to find her within 10 days in order to save his family from an unforeseen ordeal. Priyanka has 12 different avatars in the film and on being quizzed why Ashu didn’t choose different actresses he said, “I could have used 12 different characters but I used Priyanka because she is a fabulous actress and she’s just so versatile in order to fit into all 12 characters with ease. She has worked very hard and I’m very happy with the results.”

Nice to know both have kissed and made up but we feels that Ashutosh shouldn’t keep his hopes up for the film. The music can put anybody to sleep, Harman is unnoticeable and the length on the film could put you in a never-ending slumber. That all even before the release of the film, go figure!

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...
