Kareena Kapoor in, Bipasha Basu out of 'Race 2'

Film will be bigger than ‘Race’, says Saif Ali Khan Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was so keen to revive the "Race" magic with Abbas-Mustan that he has convinced the producers to rope them in as directors. He reveals that girlfriend Kareena Kapoor will also feature in the movie. "They understand the pulse of the plot. 'Race' was a fast-paced action-adventure caper. Not too many filmmakers in Bollywood would've done such a wonderful job of it," Saif told IANS. "Yes, Kareena will be part of 'Race 2'. We're yet to flesh out the details. But 'Race 2' has to be bigger and larger than 'Race'. Otherwise no point in making it," he added. Bipasha Basu's character has been written out of the script to make way for Kareena. Produced by Tips Industries Ltd, "Race", which also had Akshaye Khanna, Anil Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, turned out to be one of the big hits of 2008. But for the sequel, Ramesh and Kumar Taurani we

Saif Ali Khan chooses girlfriend Kareena rather than Deepika Padukone for Salman Khan's Dus ka Dum

On Wednesday evening, Deepika Padukone, heroine of Saif Ali Khan's home production Love Aaj Kal, made an appearance on Salman Khan's 10 Ka Dum, to promote the film. Saif Ali Khan was to join her but begged off saying he was abroad and therefore unavailable. Later that evening, it came to light that the Chote Nawab was very much in the country. In fact, he was with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. Bebo was in Delhi shooting for 3 Idiots. They were seen together in the evening at the five-star hotel they were staying at. The couple was in London last week for the T20 series but Bebo flew back early to report on her set. Says a Source, "Saif was booked to appear on 10 Ka Dum to promote Love Aaj Kal with Deepika but he called up the producers Anita and Siddharth Basu a few days before the event and said he couldn't be there as he'd be out of the country." Saif says, "I was not in town and therefore unable to manage it. 10 Ka Dum is a great show and a good platf

Saif ali Khan, Akshay play double roles in forthcoming films

What is common between Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan ? The two are playing double roles, their characters belong to two different time zones in their forthcoming films, and the two have to spend hours preparing for their double makeover. For Vipul Shah's "Action Replay", Akshay spends at least an hour every morning getting into a 1970s' sporty look without the help of prosthetics. "It's the toughest role I've played. The preparation takes a lot of time. I've Paul Pattison - who did Mel Gibson's look in 'Braveheart' - doing my look. But the effort is worth it. When I look in the mirror after Paul is done, I can't recognise myself," Akshay told IANS. If Akshay promises to look unrecognisable in "Action Replay", Saif's look in his production venture "Love Aaj Kal" (pictured above) shocked his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. "She couldn't recognise me at first when she saw me as a Sardarji," said Saif

Love Aaj Kal New Photos - Movie Stills

Bollywood Kiss-viss pyaar vyaar

The latest promo of Love Aaj Kal has just hit the net. It looks refreshing, but what we couldn't stop but notice is how both Saif and Kareena have pecked their co-stars on the lips in their respective films. While Akshay plants one on Bebo in Kambakkht Ishq, Saif too isn't far behind. He's seen giving Deepika a peck on her lips in Love Aaj Kal. Is this a case of if-you-can-do-it-so-can-I syndrome?

Saif Ali Khan: I have a lot of love in my life

Saif Ali Khan is easily one of the most charming and intelligent actors of our times. He is also very polite as he patiently answers all the questions you put forth. We spoke to the good-looking and well-spoken producer and actor of the highly anticipated Love Aaj Kal, talks about his first baby, chemistry with co-star Deepika Padukone and the meaning of love, working with Imtiaz Ali, playing a sardar, among many other things. How difficult was the job of producing a film? It is difficult because you are never a 100% satisfied. You always want to make a few changes. If you want a glass of water, someone has to get it. That way, every detail has to be organized. I have had a fantastic team. My partner Dinesh Vijan has been amazing. I didn’t shoulder the responsibility of everything. Imtiaz Ali told me at the beginning of the film that he wanted me to be only an actor and not look into the nitty-gritties of production. I have been involved creatively, in terms of promos and posters as I

Saif ali Khan and Vivek land in legal trouble in New York

Saif Ali Khan and Vivek Oberoi ran into trouble with some policemen while shooting for Rensil D'Silva's film Qurbaan in New York. Both the actors were almost arrested while shooting for the film. A source said, "Vivek and Saif were shooting in a hilly region in New York. It was a scene where both the actors had to drive a car and the camera was placed quite far, as it was a long shot. The actors kept driving for a long time as they were required to give various takes, because the scene was being shot from several angles. However, the locals, who had no clue that a film shoot was on, started getting suspicious when they saw the two Indians driving around aimlessly. They wasted no time in calling the cops, who immediately came and started questioning Vivek and Saif.” Vivek and Saif told the policemen that they were actors from India and were shooting for a film. However, the cops refused to believe them. Much to the frustration of the two actors, the cops flatly refused to b

Saif ali Khan the producer inspired by Clint

Saif ali Khan started his Illuminati Films, after hearing the story of how Clint Eastwood started his production company Not many people know that Saif Ali Khan is a huge fan of Clint Eastwood and has even styled his production company Illuminati Films after the Hollywood actor's production house Malpaso Productions. Says a source close to Saif, "Clint is Saif's favorite actor and he has grown up watching Clint's films. He also has a vast DVD collection of all of his films and has adorned his Bandra office with his posters." According to the source, "Saif ali Khan was toying with the idea of launching his own production house but was wary of taking the first step. Then one day Saif saw Clint's interview in which he narrated how he started his production house. When Clint mentioned to a friend that he wanted to produce films, his friend replied 'malpaso', which means a bad step in Spanish. But instead of deterring Clint, it spurred him to make movi

Kareena Kapoor, Saif ali Khan enjoy NY break, courtesy Vivek!

Vivek Oberoi is suddenly back in business,and how! Whether it’s for a film that he is doing with Ram Gopal Varma or for a film that he isn’t doing with Satish Kaushik (featuring Abhishek Bachchan)... Oberoi seems to be in the news constantly. Currently in New York shooting for Rensil d’Silva’s untitled film (not called Jehad) Vivek has endeared himself to the film’s other principal leads Saif and Kareena, and not just because they share camera space so comfortably, but because he was directly instrumental in getting them an impromptu holiday in New York, ahead of the holiday that they have planned after the schedule in New York. It so happened that Vivek had plenty of solo scenes which apparently Oberoi suggested to the director be shot all in a bunch so that Saif ali Khan and Kareena could take time off. Resultantly Saif and Kareena ended up with two full empty days in New York. Laughs Kareena from New York, “Yeah, Saif ali Khan and I got a two-day break in the middle of our hectic sc

Saif ali Khan first home production sans Bebo

Poor Saif Ali Khan. His first home production, Love Aaj Kal , is almost ready for release. And instead of asking him what it feels like to join the ranks of Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan as actor-producer in Bollywood, people want to know why he took Deepika Padukone in the film instead of, well, Kareena Kapoor — naturally! Not that Deepika and he don’t look good together. “We do, in fact we suit each other well on screen, and I was happy working with her,” Saif said defensively. “But, yes, on a personal level I missed Kareena... it would have been great to have her in my first film, she knows how I feel about this because we have talked about it.” The story goes that he was shooting Tashan with Kareena and just getting to know her when Imtiaz Ali came to discuss Love Aaj Kal with Saif. Kareena had done Jab We Met with the director and encouraged Saif to work with him. “For various reasons in the script, a love story sounded good for my first film, but Bebo and I were just seeing each

Saif ali Khan & Kareena Kapoor red hot in 'Agent Vinod'

Now that Kareena Kapoor is finally going to be part of Saif Ali Khan’s production plans no stone is being left unturned to ensure her presence is justified in the Khan-produced venture. Apparently in the beginning the leading lady’s role in Agent Vinod was relatively less substantial than Saif’s. Says a source, “In fact Kareena wasn’t sure she wanted to do Agent Vinod because the title clearly indicated whom the film belonged to. But Saif convinced Kareena that her role would be on a par with his. Then he convinced Sriram with whom Saif has a deep rapport since they did Ek Hasina Thi together to make sure Kareena’s presence in the film is justified.” Quiz Kareena about this, and she laughs, “Do you think I’d agree to be part of the film if my role was not as exciting as Saif? I mean, can you imagine what would happen? Saif and I will be smouldering-hot in Agent Vinod. Even the posters will be designed to highlight us as the coolest hot pair.” Clearly, after Rensil d’Silva’s terrori

Ranbir Kapoor overtakes Saif and Kareena Kapoor by 18 crores

Two-film-old Ranbir Kapoor should be feeling quite proud of himself. The young actor’s latest film has a budget which exceeds Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor ’s next film by 18 crores. Ranbir’s Wake Up Sid as well as Saif and Kareena Kapoor ’s Jehaad are both being produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. WAKE Up Sid is a romance set in Mumbai revolving around a good looking young man (Ranbir Kapoor) who falls for an older, simple woman (Konkona Sen Sharma), who is a writer from Kolkata. A source from the production team says, “The film’s budget was initially 80 crores but due to the recent market condition, it was reduced to 60 crores. Hopefully, the film will release in October this year.” As for Renzil D'Silva’s Jehaad, starring Saif and Kareena, a source says that it has an estimated budget of 42 crores. The source adds, “The film, based on terrorism, revolves around an Indian woman (Kareena Kapoor) who marries and moves to the US. Later, she finds out that her husband i

Shahid Kapoor replaced Saif Ali Khan

A lot has been said about Shahid Kapoor’s double role in Kaminey, his mean streak, dark shades, et al. But sorry to break your heart dearies, little do you know that at very the onset this role wasn’t even meant for Shahid at all. Yep, our sources revealed that Vishal Bharadwaj had initially discussed the role with none than Saif Ali Khan. And our dude was raring to go all over again, but after much thought Vishal zeroed in on the younger SK. Well, Vishal is very fond of Kareena Kapoor, and he thinks highly of Saif as an actor, so one would assume that the Khan man would be his first choice, right? Nah, for while all of Vishal’s friendships, favourites and films may have their own place; he’s very particular about his scripts and casting. Firstly he realised a younger actor would fit the role better; secondly, Shahid came with a chocolate-boy-look, and that was exactly the challenge Vishal was looking for. To turn around a sweet Shahid into a shrewd Shahid, just like he transformed the

Kareena Kapoor: Am I crazy to get married now

Kareena Kapoor, who has received as many as four awards in just one month, says plans of her marriage to Saif Ali Khan may not happen for at least two years as her career is going great guns. "It won't happen for the next two years for sure. Am I crazy to get married now when so many wonderful things are happening to my career? Saif himself is ultra-busy trying to set up his production house. Marriage can wait. I'm just happy to have him by my side. I've got the best guy any girl can ever have. "Right now I'm so busy I don't have time to sleep properly. I haven't even had time to move into my new house," Kareena told IANS in an interview. Overwhelmed after receiving four awards, she said: "Who doesn't like attention, recognition and awards? I've got four awards in a month beginning with the environment award I got from Erin Brockovich, then two youth icon awards from Rotary International and Stardust. And now on Tuesday I was honoured

Kareena's 'choli ke peeche' publicity stunt

Golden couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor stepped up on the red carpet at the 54th Idea Filmfare Awards only to heat things up! First, Kareena’s hand groped her back and then she motioned to boyfriend Saif who took position behind her and chivalrously strapped up the blouse of her saree. The cool couple then carried on like it was all in a day’s work! So, what do you think? When Kareena’s hand groped her back, did she spy a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen or did she simply undo the straps... playing up the opportunity to make headlines at the hottest event of the year?

Bollywood Actress Kareena Kapoor in Race Sequel!

Bollywood movie Race was a huge success and the producers are in the process of deciding on a sequel for the film. The last film saw the execution of Akshaye Khanna and Katrina Kaif as the villains while Saif Ali Khan and Bipasha Basu run free with all the moolah. A source reports, “The directors of this film Abbas-Mastan and the lead heroes are all very eager to come out with its sequel. And if reports are right then the film will be called ‘Race 2′. The first version produced by Tips will be producing the sequel too. But it is also being reported that there will be a slight change in the choice of heroines for the film. While ‘Race’ had Katrina Kaif and Bips playing the lead ladies, only one heroine has been fixed so far for the sequel, and it will not feature both the ladies featuring in the first version. Reports suggest that Kareena will be playing Saif’s love interest in celluloid too. It has not been disclosed as to who will get to play the other lady.”

Saif ali Khan irks Bebo

At a recent shoot for Rensil D’ Silva’s untitled flick in Delhi, Kareena Kapoor got irritated when her real life beau and co-actor Saif Ali Khan delayed the shoot by sticking inside his vanity van for a long time. Kareena Kapoor finally made her way to his van to ask him to start shooting, the crowd got too excited but Kareena Kapoor was much angry even to acknowledge them, but when Saif came out he smiled and waved at the crowd. When both of them sat in the car, Kareena Kapoor was talking to Saif with a very angry expression on her face.

Kareena Kapoor's Valentineday plans

The first part was quite obvious – a day after she landed in Delhi for a promotional do, her ‘tall, dark and handsome’ joined her and they shot together on Sunday morning in the heart of Delhi (see box). As for the second, Kareena makes it clear that she’s working on Valentineday. “I knew that I’d be asked what I was going to do on Valentine’s. I’m working on Valentineday, and as it is, I don’t believe in all this. My tall, dark and handsome is always with me!” she says. They’ve been making appearances together too – for the marathon in Delhi, cheering for the Mumbai IPL team last year ... “The only thing I understand is Bollywood,” says Bebo, about whether she’s going to be seen in the second season as well. “IPL, business and all this stuff I don’t understand. But I will try and take out time to watch some matches.” However, the one thing she usually finds time for is her yoga – and 100 surya namaskars on some days. “There are many ways of staying mentally and physically fit, but I m
