Amy Jackson all set to make for Bollywood

Amy Louise Jackson is a British model and now Indian film actress as well. Before starting her acting career, Amy Jackson won the Miss Teen World competition in 2008 and went on to win Miss Liverpool in 2010.

Amy Jackson was spotted on the Miss England website by director AL Vijay, and a month later, Amy Jackson was shooting in Hyderabad and Chennai for her first Tamil film, "Madrasapattinam"! In an interview at that time, Amy Jackson had said, "I couldn't believe it. I'd never acted in my life, I didn't even know I could act."

Amy Jackson very first Tamil film, a period drama in which she played the female lead opposite Arya, earned her kudos from the audience and the industry wallas alike, and Amy left the cold of London behind to settle down in the humid climes of Chennai. Amy soon 'Indianised' herself by saying things like, "I've always wanted to travel to India. Acting is one of my passions and this film appeared to be the perfect opportunity. When I went for the casting, I wasn't sure if I'd do the movie. But once I heard the storyline and met the director, I was sure I wanted to be part of it."


Now, Amy Louise Jackson's all set to make her Bollywood debut, what with having been signed by Gautham Menon to play a Malayali Christian in "Ek Deewana Tha". Will the audience fall for Amy's firang charms? If rumors are to be believed, her Bollywood co-actor Prateik is already deewana about her, rumors that Amy's brushed off with a predictable 'he's just a friend'. But we'll have to wait for the verdict on this one.

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.

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.
