Bollywood News: Knight rider: Neil Nitin Mukesh

Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mugdha Godse were in for an unpleasant experience on the first day when they were shooting for Madhur Bhandarkar's Jail. Yesterday, Neil and Mugdha were harassed and chased by a group of youngsters while they were shooting for an intimate scene at Bandra East. Consequently, the shooting was stalled for nearly one-and-half hour. An eyewitness said, “Mugdha Godse and Neil were shooting an intimate scene while sitting in a stationary car. Since it was a long shot, Madhur and other unit members were standing quite far away from the car in which Neil and Mugdha Godse were sitting. For the scene, Mugdha had put her head on Neil's chest. When the youngsters saw this, they surrounded the car and started whistling and singing songs of Fashion. Mugdha was petrified.” Before Madhur Bhandarkar's crew could rescue Neil and Mugdha Godse, Neil had to take immediate action. “Neil drove away when he saw the youngsters coming too close to the car,” the witness added.

The other side of the gate: John Abraham

Be it Om Shanti Om, or the recent Luck By Chance, the lives of those involved in Bollywood continue to fascinate the audience. But more than the audience, it’s the bunch of people living outside the studio gates that gets to see the real Bollywood. And John Abraham is one actor who the bunch will definitely get to see. For John plays himself in UTV’s Film City. The film, to be directed by UTV biggie Deven Khote, will see a host of newcomers too. Says Deven, “Film City is about the lives of those people who stay outside the film studios and how their lives are influenced by people from inside the industry. It will be a fun film; one of the protagonists plays a spot boy while the other plays a camera assistant. Film City is my experiences in the film industry for the last two decades.” Won’t this be similar to Luck by Chance, we ask Deven. He is quick to say, “See, John does play himself, but we have deliberately refrained from roping in other actors, like in Luck by Chance. We didn’t

The most powerful man in Bollywood - Aamir Khan

Actor Aamir Khan has been anointed the most powerful man in Bollywood by a film magazine poll. But he has claimed that he is not interested in power. He adds, “Power is how one uses it. I can be very powerful but if I can't use it for any good or can't contribute to the industry then I am actually powerless. I would like to use my power by working with new directors, giving new actors to the industry and making experimental films.” Aamir Khan is also flexing his muscles in another direction. He has retaliated to SRK’s recent comments against him in the media. “I remember him (Shah Rukh) saying that he was joking about calling himself No 1. I find it very funny as I have never seen anyone proclaiming themselves as No 1. Not Sachin Tendulkar, Not Lata Mangeshkar, not Vishwanathan Anand. I am saying all this in a light vein too. But Shah Rukh’s sense of humour suddenly disappears when it comes to me.” Aamir also mentioned that the recent spate of bad luck at the box office seems t

Bollywood Rock Star Salman Khan’s Veer in trouble again

An FIR has been lodged against the Veer crew for cutting down trees in Bikaner without permission. To add to their woes, the trees belong to the Khejri species which is the state tree of Rajasthan and is worshiped by the Bishnoi tribe. The Gajner Police station in Bikaner confirmed the FIR and said, "Yes, there is an FIR lodged under section 41 and 42 of the Rajasthan Forest Act under which transporting Khejri tree is an offence." On the other hand Vijay Galani, producer of the film, denied any wrong doing. He said, "At the moment I am near Jodhpur and I am shooting for my film Veer. To my knowledge, neither have we cut down any tress illegally nor is there any FIR lodged anywhere in the state. People are saying all these things without any basis. Till now, we haven't received any communication from any police station about the FIR or any complain against the film crew." Just a few days ago, Veer was mired in controversy when the Rajasthan High Court stayed the

Priyanka Chopra's two-in-one mantra – shoot and meet family

Bollywood Actress Priyanka Chopra, who recently shot for Ashutosh Gowariker's What's Your Raashee, said she did more masti than work on the sets of the film in Chicago as many of her family living in the US came to meet her and hang out with her. "It was more masti than work. We chose this time to shoot in Chicago because the script needed snow. And we got it in plenty. I love the snow. And since I've a lot of family in America I called them over to Chicago. It was more fun than work really." "I love going to America. I've my family there. Earlier during Dostana in Philadelphia I had a ball. Now in Chicago many people, including my naani, my aunts and cousins would be on the sets to visit me. And luckily there was very little work for me. It was Harman's character which is from Chicago." Priyanka was glad to have this chance to unwind. "I let Harman do all the slogging... but What's Your Raashee is a very taxing film for me. This kind of

Miss India Neha Dhupia: 'I don't consider anyone my competition'

Former Miss India Neha Dhupia, who has as many as five films lined up this year, says that winning a beauty pageant is no guarantee for striking gold in Bollywood and that it's only hard work that finally counts. "It's not easy to create a place for yourself in Bollywood even if you have a pageant behind you. No one in the industry was laying out special carpets for me because I had won the Miss India contest. You have to work hard if you want to prove something. It's taken me a long time to carve a niche for myself, but I'm glad that finally I have done it," Neha said on phone from Goa. Neha’s releases for 2009 include Paying Guest with Mukta Arts, Pappu Can't Dance Saala and Raat Gayi Baat Gayi by actor-director Saurabh Shukla, Raftaar co-starring Emraan Hashmi and Priyadarshan's De Dhana Dan. In Pappu Can't Dance Saala, her first release this year, Neha is acting along with funny man Vinay Pathak. "In this comedy I'm doing with Vinay Pa
