Yun Hota To Kya Hota?
After Yun Hota To Kya Hota? bombed at the box-office, Naseeruddin Shah it seems has sworn never to direct another film.
But he seems to have got over the despondency and is gearing up to direct another film. He is not in the least embarrassed to admit it.
He said that he has to admit that the failure of his first film as a director really bothers him. He wasn’t so much disturbed by its box-office fate but that he failed as a director.
Having lived with the guilt of a failed director for over two years, Naseer has now decided to give it one more try. He also added that his failure as a director is something he find hard to digest.
So whatever some critics may have thought of his directorial abilities, he is thinking of directing another film.
And that’s all that Naseer is willing to reveal at the moment. But having failed at an issue-based format, friends feel he would this time opt for a more mainstream approach to direction.
His Yun Hota… was based on the 9/11 tragedy that struck America.

Very Very unmarried at the moment
Amisha Patel was flashing in news some days ago for getting married to her boy friend Kanav Puri. Amisha did Thoda Pyaar Thoda magic with Kunal Kohli. When Kunal heard about the news of Amisha marrying Kanav, he said that Amisha married? She didn’t tell him about this. But still he wished her all the best.
One of her co stars all said that she is proper in her behavior and never unbecoming in her conduct.
All the rumors said many more things but Amisha smiled and thanked all for the congratulations. But she said that she is afraid that the rumors were not true. She is very very unmarried at the moment she said. She also promised that the wedding will happen very soon….

Karan Singh Grover of Dil Mill Gaye!!!
There are wedding bells ringing for Karan Singh Grover. Let me tell you one thing Karan Singh Grover is the one who is popularly known as Dr Arman Malik of the famous serial Dill Mill Gaye.
Karan was going on with his long time girlfriend Shraddha Nigam. Hence, Karan took five days leave from Dill Mill Gaye and got married in Goa yesterday. The function was on a small scale and not many people are aware about it. Only close friends and relatives attended his wedding.
It seems that the couple really does want to keep their wedding a secret. When asked Shraddha about this, she simply disconnected the call. She later messaged say that they were just out on a “family vacation”, and they weren’t getting married.
If the two are not married then why did Shraddha refer to them as a family? Maybe we can get an answer to this from Karan!!!

Akshay Shilpa together…..
It was expected that the Bigg Boss 2 finale that was held at Lonavala should be a magnificent event. But this event proved to be much more then what was expected. Presence of Shilpa Shetty at the finale was predictable but everyone was anxious when Akshay Kumar walked in.
Akshay Kumar was seen there for the promotion of his film – Jumbo. Both of them came face to face and interacted with each other after quite some time and everyone waited with holding their breathe to see what would follow.
After their formal chat regarding Jumbo movie Shilpa asked Akshay whether what stunt he was wishing to do that day. She also said that you known to do many stunts in your life like adventure and all. Will you perform any stunts today? Akshay turned back with an answer saying that, who else knows this better than you, i.e Shilpa. She knows the best about them.

Stay on Desh Drohi in Maharashtra!
As we all know, Desh Drohi movie has certainly grasped the eyeballs over the past couple of weeks. But still, it has not down too well with the Maharashtra State Government. It is known that Maharashtra State Government has put a stay on the release of this film for two months as the intelligence branch says that some portions of the film might lead to conflicts. Not showing in just Mumbai territory will cost the hero of the film Rs.10 crore. Surprisingly even the MNS and Shiv Sena are not having any problems but the government has gone ahead and banned it. They have asked the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Vilasrao Deshmukh to remove the ban from the movie, and he has promised to look into the matter. He says that his movie is about unity, about being an Indian first, about not falling into the hands of the dirty politics. He also asked that how will they respond if tomorrow a Marathi movie were to receive such a reaction in North India?
Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar has asked him to arrange a special screening for the movie. He is very much eager to see the movie and they shall arrange for the same. They have got a written request for the same. Raj Tackerey did not interact with the actor directly. But he had received a call from the actor’s legal cell. They wanted to see the movie, so they arranged a special screening for them. They felt that some scenes from the movie were a little too strong. The actor’s/producer’s intentions were quite clear and he was not against any party or any particular person. He wanted to make a good movie. Moreover, when the controversy started, his movie was already with the Censor Board for clearance.

Last movie of Subhash Ghai was Black and White. Though the story line of the movie was good it didn’t click because it seemed copied. It was said that Drona will be the movie of the year. But it didn’t click. Then there were news that Heroes might be the movie of the year as it had patriotic touch. But the movie failed to grab even more than 3 stars…..
Now it is said that Yuvvraaj movie of Subhash Ghai will be better than all the other movies. Lets wait and watch….

Akshay Kumar and Vipul Shah all set for their next film!
There were rumors of a spat between Akshay Kumar and Vipul Shah. But it is now learnt that all is well between the two.After the hit films like Namastey London and Singh is Kinng the duo are all set to make their next film. The rumors of a discrepancy had started doing the rounds when Akshay's close friend Vipul did not attend the actor's Diwali party as he was holidaying in Goa with his family.
Vipul said about the rumors that this was utter rubbish and he doesn't know whose imagination is at work there. He had not spent time with his family since the last three months as he had been busy with Singh is Kinng and then London Dreams. So, they had planned this vacation almost one-and-a-half months in advance. If he had the slightest suspicion that Akshay had planned to throw a Diwali party on October 28, he would have booked his tickets for October 29 instead of a few days earlier.
Vipul also commented that he and his family were holidaying with his childhood friends and not Ajay Devgan according to the rumors. His family needed that time with him. He also tried to come back to Mumbai for a few hours to attend Akshay's party but his children did not allow him to do so. He spoke to Akshay about the same and Akshay admitted that family comes first. The next day he read the story of a supposed argument between him and Akshay. He was upset, angry and disgusted at the same time. However, Akshay cooled him down and told him that these things happen and everyone will be quiet once they announce their upcoming film.
When questioned about their next film, Vipul said they have already spoken about the film and he had also narrated the script to Akshay. But, he was not able to divulge anything about the film at that time. He was also very happy to announce that Akshay and he are jointly producing the film. They are yet finalizing the entire team and will soon make an official announcement. They have been working on the film since the last eight months it seems.

Madhur Bhandarkar in Fashion controversy
Madhur Bhandarkar has come in a controversial situation because of his Fashion movie.
Censor Board Chief Sharmila Tagore has received a letter regarding the movie Fashion from Delhi Commission for Women known as DCW. Barkha Singh, DCW’s chairperson has signed this appealing letter that they want to see the Fashion before October 29th as it releases in the theatres on the date.
Fashion movie stars Kangana Ranaut and is co-produced by Madhur Bhandarkar. It is suspected that Kangana Ranaut’s role in Fashion is somewhat based on Geetanjali Nagpal, a former supermodel who was later found begging on the streets of Delhi. She was then brought up by the DCW.
The letter DCW is concerned about emulating Geetanjali’s character for earning money or mileage out of her life’s tragedy. Geetanajli has been well taken care of by the DCW she was been cured by the immense efforts of the DCW. Now the DCW is highly frightened that Fashion movie may unluckily affect Geetanjali’s present and future life.
The letter firmly recommends Sharmila Tagore to show the movie to DCW’s chairperson, Barkha Singh first and also some of its members prior to its release date. Further they also said that if the film makers deny to this then the film will banned immediately.
It seems someone had called Barkha Singh to report that the movie focuses on Geetanjali’s life tragedy which will be done by Kangana in the film. She also said that she has learnt this from many articles on internet too. Important thing is that Kangana herself has told this in an interview that she is playing Geetanjali in Fashion. Kangana had a strong desire to work with Madhur Bhandarkar and when Madhur came up with Fashion’s script she got very much emotionally involved in the character of Geetanjali and joined for the role quickly. But Madhur says this in a different manner. He denies that Kangana plays Geetanjali in Fashion. He also said that might be this must have assumed from the promo because there is a scene in Fashion where Kangana actually sits on the street in a thoughtful mood. Barkha Singh says that there is no reply from Madhur Bhandarkar’s side and so they will have to take an action against the film.

Eesha Koppikar – Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi
As we know Eesha Koppikar has changed her name’s spelling from Isha to Eesha according to the numerology. She is playing a superb role in Rajshri production’s Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi movie. Even though her role in the movie is a bit typecast she says that she is not at all frightened because she is habitual of experimenting on herself. While speaking about her film career Eesha also admitted that she agrees that she has done many roles. Of which few roles she could have avoided. But she was not at all keen on talking about those movies. She said that she has learnt from her mistakes.
In reality Eesha possesses a ‘live and let live’ attitude. She prefers to stay away from the showbiz after work and she feels that doing films is just like a 9 to 5 job for her. Only the difference here is the timings differ. Nowadays she does not believe in skin shows anymore. She also said that she was the first actress who has done an item song in a film. But today, every girl in the industry wants to do it as a trend… But Eesha has moved on since.
Many actresses don’t like to speak about their love lives openly. But this is true with Eesha. Eesha seemed to have no problems talking about her boy friend, Timmy Narang. She openly admits her love relation with Timmy Narang.

Amitabh Bachchan recovering….
It is known that Amitabh Bachchan is recovering now and it is clear that within a couple of days he will be normal. But he has preferred to stay in the hospital for some days to take absolute rest. Instead of him it is his family who prefer that Amitabh stays in hospital for some more days because they feel that the flow of visitors is apparently less at the hospital. Second reason to keep in the hospital is that as soon as he comes back to his house he will get back to his work and will not at all think of taking rest.
One of his friends also confirmed this and said that when he met Amitabh Bachchan last he spoke quite excitedly about the projects coming his way.
The legend of Kunal, Aladdin, Teen Patti, Pa and there are few more that are under discussion that are yet to be finalized. In The legend of Kunal he is happy to work with Tabu. Aladdin is releasing next year. Then Teen Patti is a movie of Leena Yadav. Pa is of Balkis. And there is one more film by Pritish Nandy and Rakyesh Mehra.
Of course he is a bit upset because of his son’s defeat from Drona!!!

Heroes movie story….
At times it takes only an instant to get about a huge alteration. One incident can change you ceaselessly. One trip can set you on a course that you will follow rest of the life. Heroes is the tale of one such trip. A trip supplemented with seconds and experiences that alters the viewpoint of two young boys.
In this movie Sammy and Ali are childhood friends. They took combined decisions in life, true from preferring a school to taking up a career. Even though their thinking doesn’t match, they are with each other as they depend heavily on each other. They are two bodies, one soul. Sammy is a peculiar boy, high determined and has a weird capability of judging humor in the weirdest of situations. He’s bighearted, sympathetic however spontaneous. He is like a kid who needs to fall to find out how to walk. Ali on the supplementary hand is quieter and more full-grown.

Sunday movie
Ayesha Takia: Ayesha Takia is Seher, She can imitate a thousand different cartoon characters and that’s what makes her such a wanted dubbing artiste. Then she finds herself ‘wanted’ in a different sense altogether- by gangsters, by taxi drivers and by the cops – as a murder suspect.
Ajay Devgan: Ajay Devgan is ACP Rajvir Randhva. He is the brave, bad cop, who loves his ice cream cones as much as he loves chasing criminals. But what he loves most is letting them off for a hefty bribe! Then suddenly Rajvir finds himself embroiled in a murder mystery where the prime suspect is none other than his fiancée Seher!
Irfan Khan: Irfan Khan is Kumar, Ballu’s bum chum and budding actor. He can play lawyer, Ravan, Dracula, don at the drop of a hat, but when he meets a girl who claims she’s dead woman, he drops all his acts and scoots like hell.
Arshad Warsi: Arshad Warsi is Ballu. His red Ambassador taxi is just like him – bright, optimistic, and full of beans. He has no hassles about stuffing too many tourists into his taxi or giving a lift to a strange, giggling girl in the middle of the night. What does bug him is when the girl disappears without paying him his fare.
Synopsis of Sunday:
A dead body found floating in a lake…. Unexplained scratch marks on her neck….
Supari killers out to kill her…. A taxi driver yells ‘bhoot bhoot’ every time he sees her…
Seher is at first amused, then mystified and then terrified when she realizes she has a connection with all these totally unconnected incidents. But she cannot remember anything. Her fiancé ACP Rajvir Randhava is convinced that Seher is innocent, but he is also equally sure that she is linked to everything. But she cannot remember a thing. Then another dead body is found. And the bracelet found near the corpse belongs to Seher.
The evidence is mounting and all fingers point at Seher. And still Seher does not remember anything.
Is Seher really as innocent as she claims to be?
A dubbing artiste by day, is she also a serial killer by night?
Is her bubbly charm but a mask that hides her darker, menacing self?
As Seher desperately fights the fog that clouds her treacherous memory, ACP Rajvir has to fight the fact that the woman he wants to marry may well be a murderer and worse…
What if one day went missing from your life?

War still continues between Manoj Kumar and SRK
If we remember, Manoj Kumar was very much disappointed by Farah Khan and SRK. Scene was that in the movie Om Shanti Om there is a scene which Manojji felt were insulting. He had at that time only raised the issue and asked to chop the scene from the movie. For the same purpose Shahrukh and Farah personally confessed in front of Manoj Kumar and assured him that the scene will soon be chopped off.
But later on it was noticed that the scene was still shown in the movie. Manoj Kumar was very much depressed by this and now it is heard that once again he has filed a case against them. He has approached the Session court for the issue.

Drona - A fantasy action Film
A fantasy action film titled Drona, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra is releasing on 2nd October 2008. The film was scheduled to release around the end of the year 2007, but since there are action sequences in this movie with special effects, this movie is delayed.
Trailers of the movie are out now. First Promo that was seen of Goldie Behl’s this movie reminded of The Mummy movie of Hollywood. But the scene was that director Goldie Behl released a trailer that did not show Priyanka Chopra at all. This was quit disappointing for the lady. Though Shrishti Arya denied this fact but still someone from the team reveled.
Priyanka Chopra took a training of Martial Arts just for the role in this movie. She does a crucial role in Drona movie that is of a body guard of Abhishek Bachchan!!!

Shahid was true!!!
Long back ago Shahid Kapoor, on the sets of Koffee with Karan said that Kareena Kapoor will never be paired with John Abraham. This prediction of Shahid is believed now, as Kareena and John Abraham were set to work together in an upcoming comedy movie of Rumi Jaffery. But now it is heard that John has backed out from this film for reasons better known by Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision.
Earlier rumors expose the fact that Kareena Kapoor never got along with Bipasha Basu on the sets of Ajnabee film. It was known that they used to have regular spats on the sets. Kareena also commented in Koffee with Karan that John is an expressionless actor. John, to answer Kareena stated that he would choose Rani Mukherjee over Kareena.
So moral of the story, John has backed out from the film because he is been paired with Kareena in the film!!!

Shamita Shetty shoes maniac
Recently it is known that Shamita Shetty hates sharing her shoes. Actually the actress has a huge collection of shoes, but she is very possessive about them. Shamita assets her shoes and maintains them very well. She cares for them like a child taking care of her new toy. Most of her shoes are designer crafted ones that she has bought from famous shops abroad. Shoes are also the reason for Shamita’s unhappiness. Shamita perpetually lands up sharing everything with sister Shilpa.
Shamita doesn’t minds sharing them because the two sisters are habitual of sharing things with each other. But some times possessive Shamita does have problems leaving her things. Especially when it comes to her shoes, Shilpa cannot even think of stepping into.

A television show inspired by Sarkar
A Television show inspired by Sarkar is coming up. It is known that a family drama is set against the background of the underworld. It tells the story of a true waaris for the position created by some senior don.
It is the story of Rudra Pratap Singh whose role is played by Ashish Vidyarthi, an aging mafia don. This Rudra is married to Yashodhara played by Indira Krishnan who has two sons, Shankar (Iqbal Khan) and Shaurya (Yuvraj Malhotra). Gayatri (Shilpa Shinde) is Shankar's wife and Rucha Gujrathi plays Shaurya’s girlfriend.
Iqbal Khan disagrees this that the promos look similar to Sarkar
He said that Waaris is the story of a family that does not deal with drugs or contract killings. It is the family that fights for the right cause.
Iqbal Khan is doing the role of Shankar in this show where he is the eldest son. He is obedient and loyal to his father. But he is also stubborn with an out of control temper. He will react 500 times more strongly than original Iqbal would. He would probably kill a person in a fit of anger.
He also said further that he is a competent actor and the character too is not that complex. He is aware that he is not a very good actor but he knows his job. They don’t get sufficient time to do any research since it's a daily soap.
It is a very nice experience working with the production house, Ugraya. Smriti is a person, who gets creatively involved in her projects. As for Ashish, he is a fantastic actor and before each scene, they discuss it and give our best shot. Choona Hai Aasmaan was not promoted right. It changed track and did not stick to the Air Force background. He had told everyone when he joined the show that he would quit if the track lost focus and so he moved out of the show.
Iqbal says that reality shows are good to watch. He keeps on getting offers but he is not comfortable doing them. Someday, he would love to host a show.

As we all know, the first promo of Goldie Behl’s Drona initiated airing from Sunday. It seems that because of this the promo the filmmaker got a good feedback, but the leading lady of the film, Priyanka Chopra is completely stunned and displeased, according to her close friends. The entire promo lasts for a minute, but it does not have even the briefest glance of Priyanka Chopra in it. All the way it’s only Abhishek Bachchan.
There are rumours that the first teaser promo of Drona is out and amazingly Priyanka is nowhere in it. It might be the approach of the producers to start with the promotion of Abhishek Bachchan since he plays Drona, but Priyanka as we all know is one of the top stars in the industry currently and is not awfully happy about being completely ignored. Apparently, she moped and brood the whole day when she saw the promo.
Shrishti Arya, producer of Drona, said that it is not true that Priyanka is saddened. Priyanka is a very close friend and she has loved the promo. If Priyanka was upset she would have known about it, since she has already met her twice after she saw the promo. She gave her no indication. It is all part of the promotions and she will also feature in the promo later, that’s been decided already. Somebody also said that Priyanka is not the kind of person to get affected by all this. She knows the marketing strategy of producers.
Meanwhile, the relationship between Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra, Harman Baweja is somewhat splintered. Abhishek and Aishwarya are a little allergic to Priyanka’s boyfriend Harman, and this probably rubs off on her as well. Lately, the Bachchans even enquired if Harman’s publicist had spread the story of Aishwarya being tipsy and giggly during the IIFA awards. Speculated if this has anything to do with Priyanka being left out, or is it purely a marketing strategy again

Konkona Sen Sharma and Ranvir Shorey engaged
From past many days rumours are common that Konkona Sen Sharma and Ranvir Shorey are living in together. The murmur is that they are finally going to make their association official and announce their engagement soon. The actress, who was staying with Ranvir in a rented apartment in Andheri, Mumbai, has recently bought a four-bedroom flat in Goregaon, which she’s busy designing. They’re a very ice-cold out pair and regularly host get-togethers for friends. It’s good fun spending time with them. Soon, they will be shifting into their new apartment in Goregaon. They’re quite serious about each other and plan to get engaged very soon.
However, there are others who insist that the pair actually have gotten engaged. What is confirmed, however, is that they have done Mira Nair’s movie How Can It Be? in concert. The movie, according to Ranvir, is a short film that was shot in New York. He has said that working with Konkona was fun, but has called her a “friend”. The pair has also featured in Mixed Doubles. On the engagement, the actor has been cagey at best, saying that it’s a personal choice not to talk about the subject.
Recently, however, at the ongoing Cinefan film festival in Delhi, when someone walked up to director Aparna Sen that is Konkona’s mom, and congratulated her on Koko’s engagement to Ranvir, she simply smiled and replied, “Thank you.” She, Koko and Ranvir went about together, quite like family, but none of the three spoke on the subject of the young couple’s relationship.

Kabir Bedi will be seen in Showman next
Kabir Bedi, who was last seen in Akbar Khan's Taj Mahal in 2005, is all set to return to the big screen after a gap of nearly three years. He is slated to play a con artiste in Tigmanshu Dhulia's upcoming film Showman, which stars Govinda and Celina Jaitley in the lead roles.
It seems that they’ll start shooting in London from the July 23.
Right from the time when the film was in its scripting stages, Kabir was Tigmanshu’s in mind to essay the role of the conman. He was apprehensive since he rarely does films now. However, once narrated the script to him, he was ready, and excited about the film.
Dhulia said that the con artiste's character in the film is urbane, stylish and has a powerful aura around him. It makes it easy for a con artiste to dupe his victims when he has such a personality.
He is an extremely handsome person who travels in expensive cars, like the Mercedes. For this role, someone older was expected and they weren't looking for actors from the younger lot. Kabir fits the bill perfectly and he is glad that he has agreed to act in Showman.
Tigmanhsu Dhulia is also working on a film based on a soldier, Pan Singh Tomar, which will star Irrfan Khan.

Ritesh miss a shoot of Do Knot Disturb
Recently Ritesh Deshmukh remained absent on the sets of David Dhawan's upcoming movie Do Knot Disturb because of which his co-stars Govinda and Lara Dutta had to leave early. The shoot was scheduled to be from 9 am to 9 pm at Juhu. However, director David Dhawan had to pack up the shoot by 1.30 pm. Govinda and Lara arrived on time and just sat waiting for Ritesh to turn up. When the crewmembers tried to contact him, he was inaccessible. Finally, at around noon, Ritesh informed the crew that he could not make it to the shoot.
In the meantime, Govinda and Lara shot a few scenes, which did not require Ritesh and were then told that they were free to leave. David Dhawan had no choice but to call 'Pack up' because most of the scenes that had to be shot required Ritesh.
It was rather unfortunate that Govinda and Lara had nothing to do and were waiting for Ritesh who said that he was busy and did not come for the shoot. When contacted, Vashu Bhagnani who is the producer of Do Knot Disturb denied this story and said that Ritesh wasn't supposed to shoot with them. He is busy with his rehearsals for The Unforgettable tour. They didn't call for a pack-up; there was no shoot that day. However, Govinda confirmed that the shooting had to be called off. He confirmed that they only shot till 2 pm after which they went home.

Imitation a best form of flattery between Jiah and Kangana
It seems that Kangana Ranaut is flattered when she learnt that Jiah Khan is hell-bent on mimicking her. Now the Kangana Ranaut-Jiah Khan face-off, which was learnt to have started a few months ago, has taken an ugly turn. It is known that Jiah has now started coping Kangana. Jiah and Kangana have a common fashion designer, Rick Roy. Some days ago, Jiah asked Rick Roy about Kangana’s outfits. She wanted to wear exactly the same outfits, which Rick designs for Kangana. At times, she even wears the outfit that Kangana has returned after wearing once. Jiah even keeps tabs on Kangana’s vital statistics, as she wants to have a figure like Kangana. Jiah’s insecurity became well known when recently her manager accused Rick of being partial to Kangana just because Kangana is Rick’s good friend. Jiah’s manager even told Rick in no uncertain terms that he should go all out to ensure that she looks extremely good always. Rick was bewildered about why Jiah’s team doubted his priorities. A few days ago, Kangana wore a gold outfit at a public function and after the function was over, Jiah asked for the same dress.
Both Jiah and Kangana took gold outfits from Rick recently, but they didn’t have an identical design. It’s just that the fabric used for both the outfits was the same.
Reportedly, the Kangana-Jiah cold war started when the former had been almost finalized for Aamir Khan’s Ghajini but was later replaced by Jiah Khan for reasons best known to the film’s unit.

Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic fared badly
It is known that yet another big-budget film of Yash Raj Films has come a cropper. It seems that Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic has registered poor collections. The result, apparently, was a huge showdown between Aditya Chopra and Kunal Kohli on Sunday.
It appears that the two traded blame heatedly. Aditya blamed Kunal for the poor product while Kunal blamed Aditya for poor business insight. He reportedly told Aditya in no vague terms that had they sold the film to a corporate oversize, they would at least have made some table profit. Kunal also complained that Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic was not publicised well.
It was also known that the corporate giant had offered Kunal Kohli and Yash Raj Films a huge sum for this Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji starrer. Kunal, who’s a co-producer, was very keen to sell the film, but Yash Raj Films was not interested.
The showdown was big enough. Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic has fared very badly. The opening collections in the UK are worse than that of Tashan. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said that Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic registered very good collections only on Saturday. From Monday, it started dipping. The collections must have created havoc in Yash Raj Films. Overseas, the film has done worse than Tashan. It’s a huge disappointment. Nobody expected the film to flop so badly and there were a couple of corporate companies interested in the film. If they had sold the film, the distributors would have suffered and the co-producers would have been sitting pretty.

Vidya Balan realised her attraction for devilry
Lately during the shoot of Kismet Konnection, Vidya Balan realised her attraction for ‘devilry’. It appears that, the entire unit would go carousing after pack-up everyday while in Toronto. A friend of Vidya’s cousin who stays in the city recommended a place called ‘Devil’s Martini’ as a must-go.
From there started a real filmy tale that will stay with the unit members forever. She said that it is one such incident that will stay with her for long. It may sound silly but it did freak all of them. She had the exact address with her and the entire crew, including she couldn’t wait to reach there and have a ball. But some how, when they reached the area, there was just no sign of ‘Devil’s Martini’.”
She added that she even went ahead and asked the locals for direction who kept pointing a few blocks away but after hunting down the entire area, the nightclub was just nowhere in sight.
A couple of days later, they once again tried finding Devil’s Martini, but it could not be traced. The crew tried hunting it out on five different occasions during the entire shooting schedule, but it was nowhere to be found. In fact, the entire crew was so spooked by this, before eventually realizing that it is just not in their ‘kismat’! But like they say, when it rains, it pours. On-set dress designer Shabeena Khan decided to take on the task of throwing parties regularly back in her hotel room which she shared with Rahila Mirza, the director’s daughter and writer of Kismet Konnection. And while the unit partied away to glory, they soon got so famous that it ended up in Shabina’s room getting turn out!
Shabina’s parties were really extravagant and they had the time of their lives. Unfortunately, some not-so-lucky beings got wind of their fun and one day when they returned from the sets, the entire room was ransacked, including even the peanut butter sachets and loose pennies.

Aditya Pancholi heart broken by Kangana Ranaut
Lately it is known that Aditya Pancholi has decided to call off his five-year-old relationship with actress Kangana Ranaut. He said that he’s got over Kangana. Now, all that he wanted was she returns the huge amount of money that she owes him. They have stopped seeing one another for a while now. Some time back she called Aditya to say that she wanted money, about Rs 1 crore, to buy a house. This was after she had complained against him to the police. He called up a banker-friend and stood as her guarantor and got her a loan of Rs 50 lakh.
Then, he gave her Rs 55 lakh cash from his pocket. Of this, she has returned Rs 25 lakh. She still owes him Rs 30 lakh. He has also spent Rs 10 lakh on her sister's plastic surgery, after the acid attack. But he says that he is not asking for that back. He paid all the bills. When Mukesh Bhatt asked back for her signing amount of Rs 50,000, he paid that for her too. He has written all that off. But he would like to have the money that he lent her for her house.
The bitterness has now made way for a calmer acceptance of the situation. He said that they were as good as husband and wife. He was actually building a house for both of them on Yari Road. They lived together for three years at a friends' place. He used to show her a lot of movies. He further continues that Kangana didn't have a penny when he met her. He saw her the first time on the road. She was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It was June 27, 2004. She was wet, and sitting on a bike with a guy from the Asha Chandra Acting Institute. Aditya was supervising the construction of a building.
It was pouring. Suddenly She came up and said a warm 'hi' to Aditya. When she said she was 'Kangana', he remembered a mutual friend had asked him to help her when she reached Mumbai. After that Kangana started calling him up persistently until he agreed to meet her. Initially she was a sweet small town girl. Aditya fell in love with her. He was building a home for the two of them. Even the phone she was using was his. Then one day she told him about this guy who was troubling her. When he asked for an itemized bill his world crashed on his head. The same guy's number recurred repeatedly in the bill. She spoke to this guy for 5,000 minutes in a month.
Why was she calling a guy she claimed was troubling her? He should have been warned. But he was completely taken in by her. Things came to such a head that one of her mooh-bola brothers went to Dubai and got a job in a hotel on his recommendation without his knowledge. He said that she has used him.
When Kangana went to South Africa to shoot for Shaka Laka Boom Boom, things got worse, according to Aditya. After she returned, he read her sent messages to another actor, while she was asleep. Her messages were certainly not innocent. And he remembered that she also used the words she used for this actor when she had called him from South Africa. That was the first time he hit her. We fought and made up.
Then Kangana's sister had acid thrown on her. He bent backwards to get the guy nabbed. His wife warned him that he was dealing with an acid-throwing maniac who could harm our family. But, instead of being indebted she called him up one evening and began to abuse him and compared him with the guy who threw acid on her sister. He lost his cool and went to her house. He saw her trying to escape in an auto rickshaw. He intercepted her and tried to talk with her but she ran away. Obviously, Aditya's outburst is a result of the rumours of Kangana's involvement with Adhyayan Suman. He said that earlier she claimed that he was like a father. Now she claims Adhyayan is like her brother. What can be said about Kangana Ranaut? A few days before Adhyayan's premiere she called him up and whispered sweet-nothings about how she wanted to be proud of him, etc, etc.
At the premiere of his debut film last week she behaved like the bahu in Shekhar Suman's family. He very politely went up to Adhyayan and said, 'Welcome to the circus. I hope you're having a good time.' The minute she saw him she fled. The next morning he sent her an SMS saying he wanted his money back.
Now Aditya is back with his wife. He says that Zarina has been his support and strength. In spite of all the pain that he has caused her she says that she wants to be his wife for seven more lives. All Kangana had to do was tell him that she was seeing this boy. Why was she cooing into her ears just a few days before she walked the red carpet with Adhyayan's family? Aditya had innumerable affairs. He never spoke about any of his women.
He also added that he never gave so much. And never felt so cheated. He risked his marriage. He gave her five years of his life. He became her manager. All he wanted was for her to come clean. All she needed to do was to tell him about the boy. He’d have truly became like a father figure in her life and seen to it that the boy kept her happy.

Who collected how many followers?
It seems that Shahid Kapoor is Mr Popularity and Vidya Balan is Ms likeability. Both of them tried to find this out on the sets of Kismet Konnection. Every day, the two actors would try to see who could gather a larger following, after shoot. The shooting was done in Canada for three months. After the shoot every day, Shahid and Vidya would intentionally head in different directions.
Fitness freak Shahid would hit the gym, while Vidya would set off on a long, wandering walk. The idea was to see who collected how many followers. Vidya won hands down every time.
The entire cast and crew chose to walk with her, rather than sweat it out with Shahid.

Hrithik all set for Kites
After learning perfect Urdu for his character as the Mughal Emperor Akbar in Jodhaa Akbar, Hrithik is now set to speak in a heavy American twang in Anurag Basu’s Kites. Hrithik is known for always doing something different in each of his films for which he takes prior training. Hrithik plays an interesting role opposite Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut for which he needs to speak in a heavy American accent.
Moreover, it’s a bilingual film for the foreign audience so Hrithik wanted to make sure that he adopted an authentic American accent to sound influential. After discussing the script, director Anurag Basu decided that Hrithik would need a tutor who will teach him how to speak in the correct accent. He immediately got a tutor on board to train Hrithik, before they could start shooting for the film.
Since the past few days, the tutor goes to Hrithik's home at Juhu every day and trains him for over an hour. It’s a tedious process, as Hrithik has to continuously repeat, recite and vocally rehearse long paragraphs continuously.
The Roshans have planned to make Kites an international project and are making sure that every aspect of the film is at par with international standards including the way the hero of the film speaks in English. Hrithik has still not met his Latin heroine Barbara Mori. He will be joining her next month in America where they will shoot for three months.
As Barbara hasn’t met Hrithik she has been given the DVDs of Hrithik’s film like Krrish and Dhoom 2 to get acquainted with his working style. It is also learnt that Hrithik’s wife Susanne and his two sons will also be accompanying the actor on the outdoor schedule of the film.

Writer turned director Amole Gupta
Amusingly, Amole will play a crook in this film. Amole plays a very important role in the film. His addition in the cast makes the film very interesting. Bharadwaj has finalized Amole to play the main villain in the film.
But how did Vishal think of Amole? Vishal and Amole have known each other for a long time. Moreover, the film has a Maharashtrian environment and Amole being a Maharashtrian, will do full justice to the villain’s role. Vishal is a perfectionist for perfection.
For the film, Priyanka is taking Marathi tuitions from Marathi TV actor Aarti Ketkar. Amole, of course, does not need any Marathi tutor.
Not so long ago, Amole had parted ways with Aamir Khan who had taken the directorial wheels of Taare Zameen Par from Amole and stepped into his shoes.
It is also known that Amole is writing a lot these days.

Watch online Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

Vijay thinks otherwise and on their first anniversary, he enforces the contract. Megha leaves his house. In the midst of all, Megha realises that she is pregnant. She acknowledges Vijay as the father of her child, but not as her husband any more.
Shooting relocated from London to Delhi
The grass is greener on the other side. This maxim cannot be more true to life as producer Vashu Bhagnani’s unit experienced it firsthand.
Vashu’s film Do Not Disturb’s shooting has been relocated from London to Delhi, owing to its scenic requirement. Vashu said that they required large stretches of green land and an idyllic farmhouse to shoot the film.After scouting around for a long time, they still could not find a place that was spacious enough in London to shoot. Both David Dhawan and he then decided to completely change the venue rather than compromise on the film. Vashu is currently in Johannesburg, wherein his son’s film Kal Kissne Dekha, which starts filming from today.
On deciding the change of location, art director Samir Chanda was summoned for an emergency meeting to erect sets on a vast expanse of land. Vashu informed that he contacted his friend in Delhi to lend his land, which is a vast expanse of greens. Samir has done a great job in a short span of time by building the most fabulous farmhouse there.
It’s exactly what David and he need. They are ready to start rolling from June 19. The number 19 is very lucky for him and it also happened to be his birth date. So has this huge geographical shift in the shooting of the film affected the schedule? "Not at all!" denies Vashu. They were in fact supposed to start shooting in London from the 21st. Now they will start two days earlier. Also, they were going to portray the London scenes as the ones shot in Delhi, but now there is no need for the pretence. The film Do Not Disturb stars Govinda, Lara Dutta, Sushmita Sen and Riteish Deshmukh.

Riya demands more for promotion of Hum Phirr Milien Na Milien
It seems that Riya Sen has been giving a tough time to Hum Phirr Milien Na Milien’s director Rakesh Gupta and producer Sunil Sodha. The promotion of the film is about to begin as it releases on July 25. But, Riya is nowhere to be found when the makers of the film are looking for her in order to promote the film. Riya, who has a cameo role in the film, is not cooperating with the makers of the film as she feels that they only want to cash in on her name and popularity to promote the film. She is demanding close to Rs 3 lakh just to promote the film, which is essentially the launch vehicle of Tabassum's granddaughter Khushi and newcomer Sarwar Ahuja.
She thinks that if the producer wants to use her name and face only for the film’s promotion then she should be paid extra for it. The producer obviously cannot pay Riya according to her demands as an extremely tight budget has been worked out for the film’s promotion, as it is a small-budget project. Sunil Sodha, CEO of Shimla Film Entertainment, confirmed ad said that they had paid Riya a hefty amount for the cameo role in the film. When he tried to contact her to inform her about the promotional activities, she asked them to get in touch with her secretary. When they spoke to the secretary, she quoted a hefty sum if they want Riya to be part of the film’s promotion.
They had already paid her for being part of the film. Now how can they pay her again just for being a part of the promotional activities?

Amisha gets extra kudos from Aditya Chopra
Although Rani Mukherji is the lead actress in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, it is Amisha Patel, who plays the second lead in the film. It is heard that Amisha Patel has taken away all the kudos from producer Aditya Chopra even before the release of the film.
She has managed to impress Adi so much that he has offered her two more films under the YRF banner. And no, this new development has not gone down too well with Adi's favourite heroine, Rani.
Apparently Amisha will star in the film to be directed by Shaad Ali, for which Ranbir Kapoor has already been signed on in the lead role. A trial of the film was held a couple of days ago and Aditya Chopra professed great satisfaction with Amisha's performance - although Amisha does not play the lead role. Rani Mukherji plays the lead role of the film.
Aditya was so impressed by Amisha's performance that he complimented her heartily and told her that she would also be part of two more Yash Raj films. Naturally, Amisha is elated. But Rani is not very happy about this. Of late, Rani has been behaving like the boss of the YRF Studios. Naturally she is upset and feeling a trifle insecure. Rani is also unhappy that in spite of her being the leading lady, there is more focus in the media on Amisha - set off by rumours of a link-up between director Kunal Kohli and Amisha.

A film on Guru Dutt
Ad filmmaker Shivindra Singh Dungarpur, who is best known for the Titan advertisements with Aamir Khan, is all set to make a film on Guru Dutt. Dungarpur has approached Aamir for the title role but Aamir being his usual self has asked them to come back with a complete script. The film’s script, which is written by Anuraag Kashyap, is based on the life and experiences of Guru Dutt.
Shivindra is a big fan of Guru Dutt and has already registered the title of his film as Guru Dutt. Currently, he is busy doing research on the late filmmaker. Dungarpur is making the film along with UTV Motion Pictures. They met Aamir Khan for the title role but Aamir in his prototypical style asked them to get back only when the entire script was ready. Aamir loved the idea of a film on Guru Dutt but will say a final ‘Yes’ only after taking a look at the script. However, everything is kept under wraps for now.
When contacted, Dungarpur confirmed the news but refused to give any details on the film. He said that it is true that he makes a film on Guru Dutt but it is very early to disclose anything. He is working on the film with Anuraag Kashyap and Karan Bali who are both helping him with the research. But, nothing is finalized as yet. When asked about Aamir being a part of the film, Dungarpur denied having approached anybody and said that casting would begin only after the script was ready.

Kambakkht Ishq of Sajid Nadiadwala will star Sylvester Stallone
Sounds to be perhaps a biggest casting revolution in Bollywood!!! It is heard that Sajid Nadiadwala for his film Kambakkht Ishq starring our own action king Akshay Kumar and the sexy Kareena Kapoor have signed Rambo and Rocky legend Sylvester Stallone.
For the first time in Indian cinema, a Bollywood film will be shot almost entirely inside Hollywood’s grand Universal Studios. Akshay plays a Hollywood stuntman and Stallone plays himself. Sajid got Susan Paley Abranson and Justine Hempe, the casting directors of Entourage, the hit US reality show, to get him Hollywood stars for Kambakkth Ishq.
Sly, who is impressed with Sajid’s earlier films, signed the contract after going through the usual formalities.
Sajid confirmed the news that he has signed Sylvester Stallone. Since Kambakkth Ishq is based in Hollywood, it made sense to cast mainstream American stars in it. This film is one of his most ambitious ventures and he didn’t want to leave any stone unturned. The filmmaker who has given back-to-back mega hits, the latest being Heyy Babyy, starts pre-production work on the 90 crore film next week. Prashant Shah, the line producer of the film in LA said that Deepa Mehta, Meera Nair and Gurinder Chadha, all Indians of international origin, have made a splash in Hollywood. But this is the first time a mainstream Indian producer is making such an international film. They are looking at other Hollywood names to join the cast.
For debutant director Sabir Khan, this is a dream come true. It seems to be an exciting merger of Hollywood and Indian cinema. He couldn’t ask for more. Kambakkht Ishq will truly be India’s first international film. Sajid’s production house rolls next with an animated version of the Salman Khan hit Judwaa. Followed by a film with Siddharth Anand that reportedly will star Saif Ali Khan and Ranbir Kapoor and a film starring Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Riteish Deshmukh and three most top actors titled Houseful.

Bachchan all set to save all his cars
As we all know nonstop rains and water logging that happens in Mumbai every year doesn’t spare anybody. And one of the worst hit localities is Juhu, which is a low-lying area. Though residents are doing their best to take control of the situation before they face problems in case of heavy shower, Amitabh Bachchan, whose bungalow Jalsa and office Janak are also at Juhu, is determined to take all safety measures this monsoon. He soon will be shifting all his cars including Lexus, BMW, Bentley, and Mercedes to hotel J W Marriott’s car parking area till the monsoons get over this year. The actor clearly doesn’t want to take chances after all his luxury cars were damaged during the 26 July’s deluges in 2005. As the situation didn’t get any better after that, the actor has decided to take this defensive step. A source close to the Bachchans said that most of Amitabh Bachchan’s high-end cars have a Global Positioning System, which was severely damaged during the monsoons in the last two years. When he realised that his cars may get damaged again this year, he decided to take charge of the situation. Bachchan also had to take this step as the car park area in Jalsa is in the basement, which gets flooded easily. He is making sure that he doesn’t have to go through the trouble of maintaining his cars during and after the monsoons. He will be shifting all his cars to J W Marriott’s car parking area, as it is a safer option. Amitabh Bachchan confirmed and said that they are shifting their cars to the Marriott or any other higher level.
The security guards at Jalsa have already been informed about the cars being shifted to the Marriott over the next four or five days. Well, Bachchan had the resources to take the precautionary measures, but it is hoped that the BMC will get its act together so that Mumbaiites don’t have to go through the mess every monsoon.

Madhur hitting through the upper limit
Madhur Bhandarkar's budgets for films are hitting through the upper limit. While his Chandni Bar was made for Rs 1.5 crore, he spent close to Rs 4 crore for Traffic Signal. However Fashion, budgeted at Rs 20 crore, is Madhur's most glamorous and expensive film so far. Madhur said that Fashion is a big financial leap. Because of the kind of opulence the film requires, they needed a big star. Priyanka Chopra is a glamorous star and Fashion couldn't have been made without her. And now he is looking forward to shoot the climax with her in Paris.
There is some change of plans regarding the climax of Fashion. Earlier, the director had planned to shoot the Paris Fashion Week live in July, but now he'll be recreating the Fashion Week in Paris during the event. Madhur informed that they were working on a deal with the French Government. They will show Priyanka walking the ramp but they won't shoot the Fashion Week. A set in Paris needs to be put up for about five days. They want to capture Priyanka framed against the Eiffel Tower and also show her walking the ramp in Paris as a super-model. They will also have some footage from the real Fashion Week.
Madhur's next project Jail, a hard-hitting film on a criminal who escapes from prison, was supposed to be shot in a real jail. However, it will now be filmed on a set because of the practical problems associated with the film's shoot. Madhur has cast Neil Nitin Mukesh in the film. When he saw Neil in Johnny Gaddar, he knew that he was perfect. He doesn't think a prison story like Jail has been done so far in Hindi films. He always wanted to go into genres that were new for him and for the audience. Jail will be a two-hour-long thriller produced jointly by Madhur Bhandarkar and Percept Pictures.
Apart from being kicked about all his forthcoming films, Madhur is on cloud nine about winning his third National Award for Traffic Signal. In fact Madhur was caught in the traffic in the pouring rains when he heard of him winning the National Award. Since the National Awards are running a year late, he wasn't even aware that Traffic Signal was up for consideration. He was stuck in the torrential rains when a news channel from Delhi called to inform him. He thought it was a joke.
But later, when he received congratulatory calls he knew that he had really won… On hindsight, Traffic Signal was a very difficult movie to make. There were 60 characters and half of them were non-actors, straight from the streets. And they did no workshops. Though Madhur has won National Awards for both Chandni Bar and Page 3, this is his first National award as a director. And it is also for the first time that two films, Traffic Signal and Corporate, by the same director were competing with each other.

Kismat Konnection of Aziz Mirza
Aziz Mirza of Chalte Chalte was questioned whether what kept him away after Chalte Chalte. He said that he lost his wife a few days after the release of Chalte Chalte. It was very difficult for him to cope with that. They had been together since their school days. He guesses that was the reason why he is romantic and it shows in his films. Slowly, his kids started coaxing him to make a film, but he wasn't sure about that for a long time. Speaking about Kismat Konnection he said that he had begun considering making a film on death and love after going through the pain of losing his wife. But around that time, his daughter Raila came up with an idea, which he loved. After that whoever he discussed the idea with, loved it. He also spoke about Shahid that Shahid is a very good actor. If your actor is good, the effort rubs off on you as a director. In many areas, he has surpassed his expectations. In fact, both Shahid and Vidya have done more justice to their characters than the way he had conceived it. These kids have put in extra effort, so he pushed them even more. He enjoys working with actors who want to excel. He said that one just couldn’t push some actors because you know they have limitations.
About Shahid and Vidya’s buzz he said that he is not someone who can think of all those commercial aspects. You can't think of all that when you make a film. At least he doenn't think about all that. Even when he wanted to cast Shah Rukh, people told hem 'look at his hair, why do you want to cast him?' But he was convinced that he is a good actor. Similarly, when he signed Shahid, neither Vivah nor Jab We Met had released, but he knew instinctively that Shahid is a good actor. Besides, he suited the role.
Shahid is a great dancer and Vidya is a very hardworking actress. They both have done a good job in the video. Also, he is all right with dance numbers as long as they are not vulgar. A good dance song is something everybody loves today. In any case, he leaves all the promotion work up to the kids — Raila, Shahid and Vidya, and Ramesh Taurani, who is the producer of the film. He says that he had kept Lucky Charm as the working title, but it was Sanjay Chhel’s idea to call it Kismat Konnection.
