Bhool Bhulaiyaa - Amisha Patel ko ‘Bhool’gaya

After ‘Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd’, Amisha Patel will next be seen in the film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’. Unfortunately Amisha, who plays the lead role opposite Akshay Kumar, is almost absent from the promos and even the posters of the film. This has made Amisha extremely upset with director Priyadarshan and even the producers T. Series. Infact the posters show Vidya Balan by Akshay’s side while Amisha has been shown with the character actors Asrani, Manoj Joshi, Paresh Raal, etc. Since the music CDs of the film too have the same picture, Amisha has supposedly decided not to attend the music launch of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’. Director Priyadarshan apologetically says, “No I am not aware that she is upset. I have though seen the posters and CD’s and if Amisha is hurt and feels let down then she has every right to be.” However the director also maintained that he was unable to see and approve the posters and CDs earlier as he was not in town. source

Who will be the chosen one - Bebo or Deepika?

Saif Ali Khan’s home production ‘ Vinod Agent ’ is juggling between two choices for the female lead: Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone . This movie is supposed to be India’s answer to James Bond. Where Kareena Kapoor has a favour from Saif Ali Khan( which is but natural given her growing friendship with Chhote Nawab), the only hitch though is that Bebo is not too keen to wear a swim suit which apparently is a perquisite to be a ‘Bond girl’. On the other hand, director Sriram is keen on Deepika, who has already made it clear that she has no qualms about appearing in a bikini. Initially, the thought was to sign an Indian and an International actress for the movie but, now there seems to be a change in plans as it’s likely that both the actresses could be Indian. While you ponder over the question, which is the better choice, keep watching the space to know which lady finally wins the role. source

Fast track to Bollywood dancing

Pakuranga dancer, choreographer and Bollywood dance teacher, Viraf Todywalla knows how to shake his booty and he’d love to see more people doing the same. Viraf has just this week released a new DVD, V4U Dhoom3 Nite, a 90-minute overview of the Dhoom3 concert held earlier this year. The July concert followed hugely successful earlier concerts in 2005 and 2006, which helped raise the profile of Bollywood dancing in Auckland. “Bollywood dancing attracts a wide range of students who love its verve and funky attitude,” Viraf says. “You don’t have to be a dancer to learn and for many people it’s a chance to try something quite new. However, it also appeals to young people with Indian heritage who want to retain their cultural ties but prefer this modern twist on tradition.” Viraf teaches Bollywood dancing at his Pakuranga studio every Saturday and Sunday and also operates a classical Indian dance class at Elm Park Primary School on Wednesdays. A dancer since his teens, he came to New Zealan

Bollywood re-enters Russian homes

MOSCOW: After remaining out of the silver screens for years, the Bollywood has now re-entered into the Russian homes since the launch of India TV channel. The paid cable TV channel, devoted to Bollywood, has seen its viewership surge dramatically since its launch last year by the Red Media group, Russia's largest producer of theme channels, and it now broadcasts 24 hours a day. "Its audience is currently estimated at 5.5 million viewers, but has the potential to grow tenfold to 50 million," India TV channel's editor-in-chief Yuri Podstolnikov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti news agency. According to Podstolnikov the only factor holding back the growth is that so far only 15 per cent of the country's households have the equipment to receive cable television. The channel is especially popular with the older generation, which is still nostalgic about Bollywood in the Hindi-Roosi Bhai-Bhai days. During Soviet era, Bollywood movies like Awara, Bobb
