Aamir Khan: Shahrukh Khan is scared to work with me

Bollywood's top three Khans - Shah Rukh Khan , Aamir Khan and Salman Khan - are found everywhere these days. They are busy promoting themselves and their movies. While all these promotions are happening at the same time, the Khans can't seem to really help but take on each other. While Shah Rukh is basking in the success of his latest release Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi , Aamir is busy promoting his new film Ghajini and Salman is far behind trying to get a pre-release buzz going for his under production project Veer . When Shah Rukh saw the staff of a multiplex sporting the Ghajini , he said there is no bigger brand than ShahRukh Khan . "I think it is a good strategy. You take the biggest brand in the country that is SRK and then use that platform to publicise yourself. I think Aamir rocks. The problem is that I cannot use any another brand because there is no one bigger than me," says King Khan. This was almost under the belt but when asked Aamir why he and Kin

Aamir Khan on Oye! It's Friday

Oye! It's Friday 's multi-talented host Farhan Akhtar comes face-to-face with another multi-faceted personality – actor, director, producer and active blogger, Aamir Khan. Don't miss the episode, which also has performances by Tanushree Dutta , singer Benny Dayal and child prodigy Abhay Goel.

Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan meet, joke about media

Aamir and ShahRukh up on Wednesday late noon at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai. It so happened that, Aamir was doing a photo-shoot for the watch brand Titan with Ashutosh Gowariker 's brother, still photographer Avinash Gowariker in the Bandra Studio and Shah Rukh too was in the same studio doing the promotional video shoot of his home production, Billoo Barber . When Aamir came to know about SRK being around, he immediately went up to meet him. My source present on location reveals, "Aamir was telling SRK how it took him more than six months to build his eight pack abs and then how painful it was for him to let go of that well toned physique for Raju Hirani's 3 Idiots . SRK too told him that he too would have loved to maintain his six pack abs but to play Suri in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and for his home production he had to let go back to a leaner look. They even discussed their films Rab Ne , Billoo Barber and Ghajini and also had a hearty laugh about how a game of one

Bollywood spoofs itself!

Look at what Bollywood is stirring in its melting pot of story Idea A heady dish on itself, with a masala cast spicing up the ingredients in the form of Hrithik Roshan playing a ‘superstar’, Rishi Kapoor a ‘producer’ and Juhi Chawla his wife, Sanjay Kapoor a ‘director’, Dimple Kapadia a ‘diva’, Isha Sharwani a ‘star kid’, and Farhan Akhtar playing the ‘struggling actor’ and Konkona Sen Sharma the ‘starlet’. Stirring the fires and ladling out this pot-boiler for anticipating audiences is Zoya Akhtar in her debut as director. The film, Luck By Chance, is being produced by Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani who, you know, got lucky earlier with Rock On. But don’t expect Farhan to be singing. The music is eclectic with a mix of folk, bass and sufi songs , plus — naturally, item numbers in true Bollywood style. “I’ve worked with Farhan before and we share the same sensibilities. It’s comfortable and fun working with young filmmakers like Ritesh and him,” said Zoya. Farhan added, “The film’s wide

Salman Khan beats Shah Rukh Khan when it comes to health!

ShahRukh Khan may be known as the King of Bollywood but when it comes to health, Salman Khan rules. Salman Khan has been voted as the number-one role model of health in the entertainment category by the public of India, in a one-of-its-kind survey conducted by the ‘Complete Wellbeing magazine’. So in the ongoing war of the two Khans, India’s choice when it comes to health seems to be Salman Khan with 26 per cent votes. Shah Rukh got 24 per cent votes. That’s not bad given that John Abraham had to suffice with a meagre four per cent.

Asin Thottumkal, the new face of Tata Sky

Direct-to-Home operator TataSky on Friday announced the appointment of South Indian actor Asin as its brand ambassador, who is yet to make a Bollywood debut in Aamir Khan's forthcoming film Ghajini. Now, Asin who is set to conquer Bollywood with her much awaited release 'Ghajini' opposite Aamir Khan will feature across all Tata Sky brand and product communication including advertisements on TV, print, radio and other mediums, said the company in a press release. TataSky, a joint venture between Tata and media major Star has already signed Aamir Khan earlier July this year. Speaking on it Chief Marketing Officer, Tata Sky Vikram Mehra said Asin would be very influential for the brand of the company. "Tata Sky and Asin have a lot in common. Both are young, energetic, achievers, and both enjoy a high degree of credibility with consumers. As our new face, she will be influential in reinforcing the attributes of the Tata Sky brand and reiterate our positioning,"

Kajol Devgan is missing Ajay Devgan

Be it her portrayal of Simran in Dilwale Dulhania... or of Anjali in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai...or now when she plays herself in television commercials, the one thing that comes across when Kajol is on screen is her spontaneity. And the ace actress is no different in person either. A straight talker who doesn’t mince her words, Kajol had some really nice things to say about the Pink City on her recent visit here. It was business as usual for the lady who was here to promote the products of a telecom company. But if Kajol had the option of mixing business with pleasure, she would have really done so in Jaipur. And here’s why. “Jaipur is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I am really missing Ajay at this moment,” was her candid confession. That her family is her topmost priority is something that Kajol has reiterated again and again, so when a journalist asked her, “Are you lucky for SRK or is he lucky for you?” she stepped back from her candid self and said, “Lets talk about the pr

'SRK and I are the same' – Akshay Kumar

Shahrukh Khan's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' spinning up with high-profits in box office and Akshay-Aamir gearing up with excitements for their yet-to-release flicks. Meanwhile Akshay Kumar utters his similarities with Shah Rukh Khan in Bollywood. According to Akshay Kumar, "Both of us have worked hard with cheerfulness in peaking for success. Of course we had no God Fathers paving ways for us here in Bollywood and yet we made it happen big". Well, ask him who's most adept among the two? Akshay Kumar says, "Everyone's got their unique panache of entertaining audiences. Of course, everyone's best according to me". Fine! What would have been the reply of Shahrukh Khan if a same question was figured on him? SRK says, "We are all busy treading for the best spell from each of our flicks. And I don't have any conflict with Aamir, Akshay Kumar or anyone else. We admire each other's works and best efforts".

Akshay Kumar's Chandni Chowk... to have global release

Warner Bros., which has come together with R S Entertainment and Orion Pictures to make Chandni Chowk To China is planning to make the film’s release a global one as well as the biggest ever in U.S when it comes to a Bollywood film . This of course, apart from the wide release across 1400 screens in India. Confirming the news, Blaise Fernandes, Country Manager-India, Warner Bros., said, “For us, Chandni Chowk To China is not a film which would be restricted to the Indian shores. We are treating it as any other international film and will be taking it across the globe. In US alone, we are making sure that it is the biggest ever Bollywood release. The scale at which we will be unleashing the flick there, while beginning with a premiere at none less than Los Angeles, will be unprecedented.” The film is being readied for release across Japan, Germany and Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Norway. Also, efforts are being made to premiere the film in New York,

I`m going to conquer Bollywood: Karunya

Karunya is not over confident. In fact, he knows that breaking into Bollywood is going to be an arduous task. But he is hopeful that someday his hard work will pay off and he will have his name in neon lights. And as a first step to putting himself ‘out there’, he came as a special guest on Indian Idol ’s Rubaroo . He not only got a chance to meet and jam with the contestants, but it was also an opportunity for him to walk down memory lane. We caught up with him just as he stepped off the lane and into 2008. How does it feel to come back to Indian Idol ? I wasn’t able to make it to Indian Idol last year because of my commitments and all the travelling I was doing abroad. So it’s been two years since I’ve come on Idol . But it was great to be on the Rubaroo episode and to interact with all the contestants. Did it bring back memories? Yes and no. The studio and the sets per se did not bring back memories because we did not shoot here. We shot at a mill on the other side of town. But

Bollywood: Aamir Khan on his eight-pack abs

Aamir Khan is looking stunning these days, while other Khans are sporting six-pack abs, Aamir Khan has gone two pack ahead with his physique. Aamir Khan reveals the secret behind his ripped Ghajini look. Read below to know more: Talking about his physique Aamir Khan says, “I needed this kind of physique because the kind of action you see me doing, you will believe I am capable of only because of my body.” “It took three hours of workout every day. I began on March 15, 2007, one day after my birthday, and it went on till April 21, 2008, I learnt a lot about fitness in this period. And how far I can push myself.” “All credit goes to my physical trainer Satyajit Chaurasia and diet by Dr. Vinod Durandhar. The workout was a cycle of three days…” “Mondays I did chest and back, Tuesdays I worked on the arms, and Wednesdays I exercised my shoulders and legs. Then I would repeat the cycle. This included cardio every day of between half-hour to an hour.” “I did abs to work the core mus

Salman Khan proposes to Asin in Paris

Bollywood hottie Salman Khan recently shot the most crucial scene of his upcoming flick London Dreams in Paris, where he proposes his heroine Asin underneath the beautiful Eiffel Tower. Apparently Salman Khan had convinced director Vipul Shah to shoot the scene at the romantic place. When the director-actor duo went to check out Eiffel Tower on Champ de Mar they were in for a surprise as they tower was lit up in blue and gold as France was celebrating their presidency of European Union. In the scene Salman Khan bends on his knees to propose Asin. Salman looks great in the above picture. Don’t you feel the same folks?

Shilpa Shetty’s Nose In the Air Results in Foot Injury

Shilpa Shetty has now learnt the importance of staying grounded thanks to her foot injury. She injured her foot in an accident because of her big sunglasses. She wrote on her blog - “I hurt my foot bad enough to get 15 stitches? don’t ask me how. In a freak accident, thanks to my big sunglasses and nose in the air, I overlooked a sharp metal piece that slit my foot, thankfully not below but over the foot.” “It is nothing that local anesthesia, a tetanus injection and antibiotics couldn’t solve. There’s nothing to worry about other than my dates that have gone for a toss, disabling me from taking Odissi lessons for my new film ‘Desire’,” she wrote. She ended her blog writing, ” “Look before you leap and stay grounded.”

Kareena Kapoor’s Coldest Night With Saif ali Khan

Kareena Kapoor experienced the coldest night with her beau Saif while shooting in Philadelphia. The couple is otherwise quite cosy together but Kareena Kapoor needed a whole lot of winter wear including jackets, shawls, boots and pullovers to keep warm while shooting for Karan Johar’s flick with Saif ali Khan. She said, “It was the coldest night of my life… You’ve no idea what it was like in that heavy snowfall with a unit of 80 people. But it looked like heaven.” No points for guessing who made it ‘heavenly’ in such freezing cold for Kareena. The couple decided to keep shooting in such an extreme climate because they want to take a break from Christmas to New Year for Saif’s annual family bash at his ancestral home.

John Abraham voted sexiest Asian man

His sculpted beefcake, well-chiseled face and his dimpled smile make John Abraham an object of fantasy for girls (and even guys). No wonder, he’s voted world’s sexiest Asian in a poll. In the annual round conducted by Eastern Eye, a leading British Asian weekly, Abraham emerged the top in a shortlist of 10 sexiest Asian men in the world in 2008. The weekly sent judges a shortlist of 10 names. The judges then ranked the names according to their individual preferences and the newspaper then compiled the results to produce a final list. "John Abraham made up for a quiet year with a sensational look in Dostana , with one of the greatest physiques ever seen on the big screen. His body helped to make the film a hit with Asian women," Hamant Verma, editor of Eastern Eye, said. The judges included Brianna Ragel, editor of Asian Woman Magazine, Che Kurrien, editor of GQ India and the former editor of FHM India, Farhad Dadyburjor. John has replaced last year’s winner Shahrukh Khan wh

Wanna get Aamir Khan's 8-packs secret?

Yippee! Finally, it's a high-season for young lads to get in for shaping their body with 8-packs. Of course, who wouldn't hanker to gear up with such physiques after glimpsing on Aamir's stunning sleek looks? And now, we have our Mr. Perfectionist revealing his Good 'n' bad times while working on his body shapes. Aamir Khan who has a general physique took nearly a year to get the shape and he had to sacrifice whole lot of his favorite food stuffs. Initially, Aamir Khan had buzzed up Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan for aiding him for this process. Well, both of them were so helpful while Saif Ali Khan jumped for a greater extent introducing Aamir to his personal trainer and dietician. His physical trainer Satyajit Chaurasia and dietician Dr. Vinod Durandhar planned up for his working schedule. Aamir had to work with the formula 'Cycle of Three Days'. Mondays, he did exercises for his chest and back while it's for arms on Tuesdays. On Wednesdays, he exer

Kareena Kapoor, no longer size zero!

Her size zero frame brought Kareena Kapoor much fame not very long ago. But in her next release, Kambakht Ishq where she plays a surgeon who moonlights as a supermodel, she has put on a few pounds. She's said, "I weigh 54 kg now, which for a girl of my height is quite fine. People used to wonder what 'size zero' is and I'd joke, 'Just look at me.' I don't want that any more. I want to look like a normal healthy girl. My forthcoming releases required me to get back to a fuller shape." Apparently, in Kambakht Ishq, she didn't want to play the character of a surgeon looking like an international model. She will have a fuller frame in Mr. & Mrs. Khanna too, where she plays Salman Khan's wife. So that means that Kareena won't be flaunting and talking only about her size zero frame anymore! Well, we must say that would be good for a change!

'See, I'm better than Shahrukh Khan': Vinay Pathak

It goes to say without a doubt that Vinay Pathak is one of the finest and the most talented actors we have in our film industry today. After having fried our bheja's with Bheja Fry , the mad man is back styling people's hair in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi . The comic genius plays the role of Bobby, a hair salon owner and a dear friend of Shahrukh Khan in the film who helps Shahrukh Khan dress up in hip and happening colourful t-shirts, boots and a gelled look to impress his love interest played by debutant Anushka Sharma rather than cut people's hair. Now as soon as the film got over in a special screening at the YRF Studios last Friday, the first person we called up to inform the best jodi of the film was apna Vinay babu . The extraordinary jodi of Vinay and SRK rocks in the film. Yes, it does remind you of yesteryear actor Deven Varma helping out Amol Palekar in Golmaal but this one's way too funny and yet high on emotions. Vinay is seen in a completely unbelievable get up

Shahrukh Khan – My Name is Khan

Shahrukh Khan is amongst many who felt the shock of the Mumbai attack very deeply – not least because he is a Muslim man with a Hindu wife. In Karan Johar's new movie, My Name is Khan , he hopes to dispel many of the myths about Islam that pervade society. However, audiences shouldn't run away with the idea that this is going to be a preachy or heavy film. With the Karan Johar stamp it's certain to be a three-hour flight of fantasy. The film also sees SRK re-united with his on-screen jodi Kajol. It's currently filming in the US. It also looks as though SRK has rescued the Yash Raj camp with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi . After a cautious start, the film has been given the thumbs up by audiences and critics alike. It's the first SRK-Aditya Chopra collaboration in eight years. Although it doesn't really break any new ground, it's fun to see SRK in a double-role, injecting twice as much energy than he usually does in a movie if that were possible - and especially fun to

Shahid Kapoor is not money minded

Unlike his ex-girlfriend Shahid Kapoor is in no hurry to make moolah as he is carefully treading his career and making a slow move. The cute hunk recently refused Ashutosh Gowariker’s What’s Your Rashee and Rajkumar Santoshi’s Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani which ultimately went to new hunk Ranbir Kapoor . Shahid who was seen in ads like Pepsi, Clinic All Clear and few others is not lured by the big bucks the endorsement deals are offering him. A source reveals, “There are a host of corporates approaching him to be their brand ambassador, but Shahid is just not giving in. He’s made of different stuff, you know, and isn’t like the other actors who are endorsing anything and everything under the sun!” Folks do you get bored when you see the same actor/actress endorsing a soap then creams etc.?

Asin Tho doesn’t mind being overshadowed by Aamir Khan

Asin is all set to make a big mark in Bollywood by starring opposite Aamir Khan in the most awaited movie of the year Ghajini. However Asin thottumkal knows her place and is aware that Aamir Khan is going to hog all the attention, she says, “I obviously know that Aamir will outshine me. The film is about Sanjay Singhania; Aamir is the central part… I am just glad that I have a small role in this big project.” When quizzed about playing a small role, she says, “How can that even be an issue? Aamir Khan is such a fabulous actor, that anyone would give an arm and a leg to share the frame with him. I shouldn’t and don’t have ego hassles, and instead am thanking my stars that I got to be part of such a project.” Well it’s good that she is well aware of Aamir Khan’s charm at the box-office before the release of the flick

Bollywood: Salman Khan mixes up with the girls

Salman Khan might have a steady girlfriend in the form of Katrina Kaif but the shirtless wonder is still busy mingling with other girls. There were lots of talks about him taking out Katrina dummy Zarine Khan to many gatherings in the place of his girlfriend. The latest is that he’s mingling a lot with Miss Universe UK 2008 Lisa Lazarus . This lass is acting in his next project ‘Veer’ alongside Zarine. Salman Khan has been helping this English lass a lot and this includes holding her by the hips and showing her how to dance A source says, “Lisa Lazarus could not get the dance steps right for a song which she was shooting with Salman. During one of her attempts, she fell flat on her face. Before she could get up, Salman rushed by her side and gave her a helping hand.” It adds, “Lisa was shooting for a number which required her to perform a few typical Bollywood dance steps . Since Lisa is not used to dancing to Hindi numbers, she was struggling quite a bit to follow the instructio

Aamir Khan is so hot: Asin

17 films old already down South, this Southern siren is now ready to hit it big in Bollywood, come December 25, with her first Hindi film ‘Ghajini’ opposite Aamir Khan. Asin must now be added to the growing list of South Indian actresses who've risen to Bollywood prominence. For a long time, though, it really looked like she wouldn't make it. But is there more to Asin than the all-south Indian image she has created on-screen? Until recently, the actress was virtually unknown in the all-important Indian movie industry. Now she's one of its biggest stars or is she? It's hoped the movie will do for Asin what ‘Namastey London’ did for Katrina Kaif. But like Kats, Asin is remaining resolutely down to earth about becoming Bollywood's latest leading lady. In this exclusive the beauty gets ready to talk to our London correspondent and Harrow Observer columnist Devansh Patel about why being a part of ‘Ghajini’ was a piece of cake, why she would love to treat Aamir with some

Miss India Parvathy is Miss World 2008 first runner up

Parvathy Omanakuttan finally broke the series of bad records of Indian participants in the Miss World contest from the past few years by bagging the first runner up title at the exclusive event held in Africa. The Miss World 2008 title was bagged by Russian beauty Sukhinova. Parvathy was excited and said, “In India and South Africa people are warm and warm-hearted. I felt at home in Johannesburg. Presence of two great leaders Mahatma Gandhi (India) and Nelson Mandela (South Africa) have influenced millions of people in both the countries.” “It’s been a great journey for me.” Well you have surely made us proud Parvathy!! Go girl.

Secret behind Deepika Padukone’s cheeni eyes

Deepika Padukone is looking all Chinki in her upcoming flick Chandni Chowk to China which also starrs Akshay Kumar. According to rumors the leggy lass is playing a double role in the movie and she confirms the news and says it’s not a publicity gimmick. She says, “It’s actually a double role and no publicity gimmick. I play two different characters in Chandni Chowk To China , one is an Indian called Sukhi, and the other is a Chinese girl, Meow Meow. The Chinese character is a pro at martial arts for which I had to undergo four months of rigorous training before the film started.” There were rumors that Deepika had used tapes to make her wide eyes look like Chinese eyes, however Deepika says, “We had thought of that initially but it wasn’t a good idea to use tapes, they’re bad for the skin. My makeup artist came up with a simpler solution and used the eyeliner in such a way that it gave my eyes the Chinese tweak.” So do you think Deepika does justice to her Chinese role?

Rab Ne Bana De Jodi sweeps the nation

Yash Raj Films reeling under the impact of a series of setbacks in 2007-2008 is all set to make a grand comeback with the latest big-time release Rab Ne Bana De Jodi . In spite of the terror attacks two weeks ago and the downward curve in Yash Raj's recent image, the film had a massive opening which is expected to get better over the weekend and past it. Roshan Singh a leading exhibitor of Bihar sums up the unexpected euphoria surrounding the latest Shah Rukh Khan starrer. "It's opened to full houses, the best opening I've had for a Yash Raj Film in the last two years. I should know, because my theatre screens all the Yash Raj films in Patna. People love the film. Nobody expected Rab Ne... to be such a sweet love story. Shah Rukh as an ordinary small- town guy proves he is truly the king. And the new girl Anushka is a revelation." What's working for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is the working-class ambience.The film delineates the dreams and aspirations of ordinary pe

Michael Jackson came across Hrithik Roshan

It rarely happens that Hollywood stars are excited to meet Bollywood stars but recently Bollywood handsome actor Hrithik Roshan remained stunned when world famous pop star Michael Jackson walked in to his make up room while he was in Los Angeles shooting for Anurag Basu’s forthcoming film ‘Kites’. It is said that Hrithik Roshan was busy preparing for a shot and suddenly Jackson came at the set. The delightful moment was that Michael Jackson introduced himself to the actor. According to a source, “Michael introduced himself to Hrithik Roshan . It was a funny scene to see someone like him who the whole world knows introducing himself. The two spoke for a short time and then Micheal left.” Michael was in the same area for his filming commitments and decided to meet Hrithik when he heard that he was nearby. According to a source, “Hrithik Roshan was in his make up room when Michael’s two bodyguards entered. He was taken aback to see these burly men enter the room. On questioning the

Shahrukh Khan and his new muse, Anushka Sharma!

Shah Rukh Khan is known for never uttering a bad word about anyone. In fact, he is always full of praise and gratitude to God, his family, co-stars, friends and of course, his loyal fan base. The same is for his new muse, the nineteen year old Anushka Sharma . In a recent interview, he was all praise for the debutant. "To be really honest, when I met Anushka I felt that she's got an amazing amount of confidence...she's a very pretty girl," he said. In his only major flick that is releasing this year, Shah Rukh plays a simpleton by the name of Suri who believes in hard work and plain living. After working in the industry for over a decade now, Shah Rukh believes that working with the fresh new talent helps him improve his acting skills too. "I think I am from a different generation and maybe I am getting a little old fangled, maybe I am getting what people call stylized and mannerised in my acting," he explained. While his fans would gasp at this statement,

Nandana’s Topless Scene Approved By Censor Board

Nandana Sen is all set to make history as her controversial topless scene in her forthcoming film Rang Rasiya has been approved by the Indian censor board. The film Rang Rasiya is the story of the legendary painter Raja Ravi Verma played by Randeep Hooda and his muse Sugandha played by Nandana. Sugandha used to pose nude for Verma. The film required scenes of frontal nudity and Nandana’s nude scenes are very crucial to the film’s narrative. Nandana’s nude scenes form “the very core of the film” probably thats why it narrowly escaped the Censor’s scissors. Nandana confirms the news and says, “I’m not surprised by the decision at all. That scene forms the very core of the film. Rang Rasiya is itself about censorship of art. The political message as well as the emotional drama in our film revolves entirely around that particular scene, making it absolutely essential to the narrative.” “Everyone who has seen the film has commented to us about how the scene complements the film, so

I am Popular Because of My Fans: Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is the Most Search Bollywood Celebrity on Google and Katrina gives all the credit to her fans who have made her so popular. Reacting to this news Katrina said, “I think I need to learn more about computers, get more familiar with the Internet. I think its really sweet of the fans. It is the basic want of the human nature to be loved. In our industry, it is really important for us, we are only as successful as the fans who love us. We are who we are because of our fans.” Katrina’s so popular with netizens that even former Miss World and Salman Khan ’s ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai comes second to Katrina on Google India Zeitgeist list. “But Katrina says, “I don’t think one needs to get too much into these things. Aishwarya Rai is an icon of Indian cinema. But beyond that, one shouldn’t pick apart this whole thing too much. It is something you can smile about and feel nice about it. Because there will be a time when I won’t be the winner, and when one is, one shoul

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Movie Review

With Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi director Aditya Chopra returned to the silver screen as director after 8 long years since his last movie Mohabbatein released. It hadn’t been a great year for Yash Raj Films and there were one too many reasons why YRF desperately wanted Rab Ne to be a hit. Shahrukh Khan’s movies very obviously arouse a lot of interest and this movie did the same job but with a difference - that being Shahrukh’s ordinary looks in the film. Shahrukh plays an ordinary guy named Surinder Sahni working for Punjab Powers. He is quite nerdish - bole toh a simple lovable guy many people can relate to. He attends the wedding of his Professor’s daughter where he falls in love with the bride Taani (Anushka Sharma), she is beautiful, bright and bubbly (ala Preity Zinta) but things take a favorable turn when the news of the groom’s death in an accident reach the wedding party. In such a time apna hero comes forward to help the girl in distress and her family. And being his profes

Asin Thottumkal Strong In Bollywood

South Indian actress Asin is going really strong even before her debut Hindi film Ghajini has hit the theatres. The 23 yr old has impressed everyone from Aamir to Salman and even Vipul Shah. She has a meaty Tanishq endorsement and a Fanta advertisement in her kitty that has got her noticed. Now she has also bagged Tata Sky’s telly ad replacing former Miss India Gul Panag as Aamir’s better half. Asin confirms, “Yes, you’re right. I have signed a deal with Tata Sky for their next television commercial opposite Aamir Khan which goes on air on the 25th December. I haven’t shot for the advert. It should be anytime soon.” It is said to be a promotional sort for Ghajini after its release. Wonder what Gul Panag has to say as Asin steals her screen hubby. Asin’s next Bollywood film is Vipul Shah’s London Dreams opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan. This girl is surely going hot.

Hema Malini and Jeetendra To Judge Reality Show

Its raining reality shows and yet another show is Dancing Queen to be launched on the channel Colors. The promos show that they are going to choose who makes the best Item girl. I was rather surprised to see Hema Malini and Jeetendra appointed as judges. Okay, Hema is a trained classical dancer but for dance of this type I expected to see Helen or Bindu on the judges seat. Wonder what Jeetendra is going to judge there. He looks out of place there just like Chunkey Pandey who judged a reality show. Anyway, there are some interesting participants which include some infamous names from Tellywood and flop actresses of Bollywood starting from Barkha Bisht, Mink, Sambhavana Seth, Meghna Naidu, Anita Hassanandani, Shweta Menon, Sanober Kabir, Ishitta Arun, Bruna Abdullah and Deepshikha. Lets see if cabarets, item performances and skin show can get them good TRPs. (Dont forget to notice Jeetendra’s jet black hair.)

Katrina finds working with new directors risky

Katrina Kaif from start of her career has worked with established directors like David Dhawan, Anees Bazmee and Subhash Ghai amongst many others. However the beautiful actress doesn’t want to risk her hit career by working with new directors. She says, “The first thing that I see before choosing a film is definitely the director. If a new person comes to me with a script and says ‘let’s go for it’, I should be really willing to take risks to agree but I guess that will also happen sometime. Working with new directors is risky.” Katrina also stresses on the right man behind the camera, “If a director who can’t pull off a good script comes up to me with a fantastic script and I love it, it is still a meaningless and futile exercise to go ahead with the film. For me, who directs the film is of utmost importance,” says Katrina. Well all new Bollywood directors who were keen to cast Katrina must be sobbing on reading this news.
