Govinda, Suniel Shetty and Mimoh in Loot

It is heard that the three lead actors of Loot, Govinda, Sunil Shetty and Mimoh have become absolute health conscious. The three actors work out together whenever they are free. Although Sunil and Mimoh are known to be quite particular about being fit, the surprise element here is Govinda, who is known to be quite lazy. It seems like Sunil and Mimoh have managed to convince Govinda about the virtues of good health.
Govinda shoots from 7 am to 10 pm every day but he works out whenever he gets the time.
They say tha their shooting schedule for Loot at Pattaya is almost like a health trip. The only thing that the three of them talk and think about is fitness. There are strict instructions from Govinda's favourite director David Dhawan, who has asked the actor to lose at least 20 kgs before starting their next film. Govinda will start David's film after he finishes shooting for Loot.

Ghajini Remake

It is heard that Aamir Khan has asked the filmmakers to change the script of his yet untitled remake of Tamil film, Ghajini. Aamir insisted on changing the climax of remake of Ghajini, as he was not happy with the last 30 minutes of the original version. After getting a new look for Ghajini’s remake, Aamir has started the new schedule of the remake with different changes in the film’s pre-climax and climax portions. The Tamil version’s entire climax takes place in a medical college where the hero (role played by actor Surya) takes on the villain played by Aamir’s Lagaan co-star Pradeep Singh Rawat, who is also involved in human trafficking. There is actually a double role of the villain and the hero fights both of them in a face-to-face war. But before the fight happens, the villain and his Gangster gang comes running after the second heroine (actress Nayanthara) to her college after which they undress and kill a medical student. The attackers then announce that they shall continue to kill students until the hero comes from where he has hidden. Aamir knows that his biggest admirer base is the family audience. Now, after the respect that he has earned post Taare Zameen Par and his mounting fame with children, Aamir wouldn’t like the remake to have any content, which he doesn’t believe in. That’s why he has got the entire climax rewritten. Apart from the changes in the last 30 minutes of the film, the Hindi version remains true to the original.

Deepika to work with Ranbir and Rishi Kapoor!!!

Ranbir Kapoor’s girlfriend Deepika Padukone will be sharing screen space with Rishi Kapoor in Saif Ali Khan’s first production, which will be directed by Imtiaz Ali of Jab We Met fame. Deepika did the reading with her Rishi uncle for the film, and she was simply surprised. She said that she is lucky enough to work with both Ranbir and Rishi Kapoor. Now, all she needs is a film with Neetu aunty to complete the picture.
The actress, who debuted with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om, has also signed a film with Saif Ali Khan to play the leading lady in his untitled film. She said that she is definitely looking forward to work with Saif. According to her, he is one of the best actors we’ve ever had,” she said. But, before that, Deepika is currently shooting for Nikhil Advani’s action flick Chandni Chowk To China with Akshay Kumar. “I’ve trained in martial arts for the film and I enjoyed myself thoroughly because I’m athletic. People see me as very ladylike and proper. But, there’s another, very tomboyish side of me that you’ll see in Chandni Chowk To China ,” she said.
However, her first release after Om Shanti Om would be Yash Raj Films’ Bachna Ae Haseenon . In the film, Deepika has to share her boyfriend Ranbir with two other leading ladies. “Yes, but that’s only for the screen, no?” she quipped. “It is Ranbir’s film all the way. In my very first narration, I was sure I wanted to do it...Siddharth Anand was honest enough to tell me there were three other girls with Ranbir in the film — now, of course, there’re only two other girls!”

Tabu rejected Shahrukh’s Billoo Barber!!!

It is known recently that Amisha Patel has signed Shah Rukh Khan’s Billoo Barber, where SRK is playing the role of Krishna and Irrfan Khan is playing the role of Sudama. We heard that SRK had offered this role to Tabu first, but Tabu rejected it. Reason for her rejection was certainly that the role did not offer much for her. But there’s another reason too. And that’s the presence of Irfan Khan in the starring list. It’s a fact that Tabu and Irfan Khan have crackling chemistry on screen and a bitter relationship outside. The main draw of The Namesake was the draw of Tabu and Irfan for each other in Maqbool; they were red hot with each other. But it’s also true that for the most part they didn’t talk to each other all through the making of The Namesake.
The dislike is not really mutual. It’s more on Tabu’s part than Irfan’s. Her annoyance with Irfan comes from the fact that he likes to let on as if they are truly drawn to each other off-screen as well. A close friend of Tabu said that Tabu does not like Irfan showing the world that there is more to their relationship than actually is. For instance, with other people around, he talks to her more personally on the phone than he would otherwise. It annoys Tabu. The dislike became visible when the media once asked Tabu about the party that Uma Thurman had thrown for the cast of The Namesake. She replied that it was not a big deal, what can she say? She also said them to ask Irfan about that, as he likes to talk about those things.

Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost

Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China will have a '70s hit song `Bambai se aaya mera dost' from Vinod Khanna-Rekha starrer Aap Ki Khatir movie. The song will be picturised on Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Shorey.
Bappi Lahiri himself composed the original song. Bappida is obviously attempting to restructure the same magic with the song in its modern version.
It was a combined conclusion by Rohan Sippy and Nikhil Advani to use the same song in Chandni Chowk To China. Rohan had earlier used ‘Sabse bada rupaiya’ from the ‘70s hit of the same name in his film Bluff Master. So, he wanted to repeat the exercise with Chandni Chowk To China. They both got the rights of the song that will be picturised in China, featuring Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Ranvir Shorey. The shooting will start in the first week of April.

Race

It was heard recently that irritated Kareena Kapoor left Saif Ali Khan sleeping in his hotel room and took a flight from Delhi to Mumbai on Saturday, the day of Holi. Kareena, who had made confidential plans of spending the weekend in the capital, changed her mind when she failed to wake Saif up from a deep snooze.
Kareena arrived in the capital on Friday afternoon to be with Saif, who was attending the premiere of his latest film, Race. The couple desired to expend the weekend together in Delhi, as they were tired of hanging out at the hot spots in Mumbai. Kareena Kapoor kept waiting for Saif in his hotel room, instead of associating him to the film premiere, as she didn't want to draw any media attention. Unluckily, Saif got delayed at the screening and by the time he came back to the hotel, Kareena was fast asleep. Afterwards Saif had some wine and went off to sleep late in the night.
The next morning, Kareena was trying to wake him up but all her efforts were in vain. Saif refused to get out of bed and wanted to sleep till afternoon. That’s when she lost her temper and left straight away to Mumbai.

Jannat movie is coming soon. Emraan Hashmi demanded Rs 1 crore to sing a promotional song for this upcoming film, Jannat. The actor, who is known for his professionalism, asked music brand Sony BMG to pay him Rs 1 crore if they want him to sing the song. Sony BMG has the rights of Jannat's music and wanted to shoot a promotional song for which they got in touch with Emraan. However, they were extremely surprised when Emraan demanded an extra Rs 1 crore just to sing one song. Right now they are wondering whether they should go ahead with the song or not.

Boeing Business Jet 2 at SRK's service!!

Recently it was heard that Mukesh Ambani had a high-capacity gathering at the Reliance Petro Township, in Jamnagar. Some of the high profile personalities attended this gathering. One of them was Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh Khan is featuring in Bhoothnath movie with Juhi Chawla and Amitabh Bachchan. On Friday he attended this gathering by reaching there at 5 pm.

Sonam Kapoor paired with Shahrukh Khan!!

Sonam Kapoor will feature opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. There was a lot of guesswork about casting for this role. Widespread talent chases were structured by Yashraj Films to explore just for the exact girl with the genuine Punjabi look who will be play a 16-year-old girl’s role in the film. Hundreds of genuine Punjabi kudis contributed in the interviews apprehended in Punjab. Aditya Chopra himself went through the list to shortlist but could not find any. Back home in Mumbai, Yashraj received dozen of bio-data every wee.
Nevertheless, it turns out to be that the girl they needed was right under their nose all the time. They realized that it was their very own Sonam Kapoor who featured in Sanjay Bhansali's Saawariya movie.
It seems that Aditya Chopra was very keen to have a tall, fair Punjabi girl for the role opposite Shah Rukh Khan. He himself wrote the script and knows exactly what he required in his actress. The film contracts with a love story of a 40-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl. He was also very choosy about signing the right girl because he was making his comeback in Bollywood to direction after a gap of eight years and wanted to make it well.
After all his ability chase directed to a dead end, he spoke to Anil Kapoor, who was more than glad to have Sonam get into the Yashraj camp, that too directed by none other that Aditya Chopra himself.

Salman’s banner has signed Mahek for its next film production Main Aur Mrs. Khanna. Main Aur Mrs Khanna was earlier titled as Mr and Mrs Khanna.

Saif’s friendliness to the horses!!!

Though, Kal Ho Naa Ho actor Saif Ali Khan had previous knowledge of riding horses and he escaped uninjured when his horse went out of control throughout the shoot some day. Director pair of Race, Abbas-Mastan narrates that the scene required Saif to mount the horse and to get down after riding on it for a while. As soon as the clapper boy clapped for the scene, the sound of the clap really frightened the horse it responded very violently by lifting both his legs in mid-air and going out of control. But luckily, Saif had some know-how about riding and he escaped unhurt.
Slowly, the farm owner wheedled Saif to spend a few days in taking care of destructive and husky racehorses. The actor's dawn ablutions included nourishing the horses with carrots and associating them on short walks.
The owner of the farm came to their rescue and said that if their actor wants to ride these horses he will first have to get friendly with them or else he'll never get the act right.
As Saif had many sequences with the horses, he had to spend more than ten days in befriending them by spending time with them, feeding them and then going for short walks with them until the horses got accustomed with Saif.

Priyanka’s soap story!!!

Some days before we heard that Cricketer Shreesanth called up former Miss World, Priyanka Chopra to express his feelings about her. This created quite disturbance in the media. News Channels were flashing the story as ‘Breaking News and also played the audiotape of their conversation. Both Shreesanth and Priyanka denied this saying the tapes were forged and called the press to clear the controversy.
As the press rushed there for the same, to know the truth, they were kept waiting for around two hours after which instead of Shree and Priyanaka there were some dancers who took the stage and tried to entertain these people. Soon TV actor Aamir Ali accompanied by Shreesanth appeared on stage and started voicing his love for Priyanka in front of the press. It was seen there that the two men were desperate to seek Priyanka’s attention. After the drama of around two hours, Priyanka came up on the stage declaring her dusky skin was because of the soap. Usage of that soap made her so tempting. It was an ad of Lux soap.
This was all done to show that whatever the press heard was all about this ad and nothing personal.

Subhash Ghai’s Black & White released!!!

Subhash Ghai, the director, best known for multicolored, vociferous 70mm entertainment, has attempted in Black & White to make quieter, more cherished cinema.
The story of Black & White revolves around Numer, a terrorist who comes from Afghanistan to India, to blow himself up at the Red Fort on 15 August. But the fortnight he spends in Chandni Chowk changes his vision. He realizes that the world is far too compound and crooked for unsophisticated divisions of wickedness and good. What works for Black and White is the truthfulness of objective. The showman is tackling here with big concerns like religion, terrorism, what is the reason behind terrorism and terrorists and what is the solution to decades of extreme dislike, political exploitation, violence and disaster. He attempts to tell all sides of the story and creates some legitimately affecting moments between The Killer and his adopted family.
There is a wonderfully written and enacted aging poet, who when nagged by his wife, remarks that when there isn’t any peace in the house, how can there be peace in the nation. Debutant actor Anurag Sinha has the complicated task of impelling the sequence of events but he has a satisfactorily rumbling concentration and the gravities to pull it off. What lets Ghai down is his screenplay. Ghai is a master of broad stroke cinema but a subject this complex requires suggestion and more gradation writing. In Black and White, the plotting is much too simplistic. There are dodges in logic and needless deviations like a love angle and songs, which only loosen the swiftness. The characterization is also rough—some characters are engraved out but most are too generic to be effectual. Eventually then, Black and White works intermittently. It is a well-meaning but faulty film.

Publicity for Race movie that is releasing on 21st March!!!

As we all know that Race movie is releasing on 21st of March, lately it is being heard that some hard disk crashed and all the dubbed scenes evaporated from the PC. Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan had to redo those scenes. Also Akshaye Khanna’s major scenes were deleted from that. So now even that is to be redone.
This film is releasing on 21st March and the filmmakers were in for a shock as most of the actors are busy in their schedule. Getting them back to the theatre was a task, but was done successfully.
Now what I feel is, firstly it was Saif and Kareena who kept on coming in Gossips and now such scenes are happening keeping Race movie in common gossips. So is this done for mere publicity for the upcoming film Race????

Anurag Basu’s next film featuring Hrithik Roshan and…

Recently we heard that Anurag Basu is coming with a love triangle movie featuring Hrithik Roshan in it. But the search for two actresses for the movie was a task. Finally some days earlier we got to know that it is Penelope Cruz is supposed to feature in this movie opposite Hrithik Roshan.
Latest we got to know that it was Barbara Mori who was thought of casting in this movie. And now recently it is heard that it is Kangana Ranaut who is featuring in this movie. Though the news are not on papers yet but will be confirmed within couple of days. Penelope Cruz was rejected, as she looked older to her co-star Hrithik.
Kangana Ranaut has signed for the film, but Barbara Mori has not yet signed for the role in the movie. Lets see what more changes occur to the cast of this movie

Subhash Ghai’s Black & White!!!

It might be felt that like BOMBAY TO BANGKOK, KHANNA & IYER and GOOD BOY BAD BOY, some of the recent productions of Subhash Ghai, even BLACK & WHITE would be supported by limited publicity.
Conversely, the truth is that Subhash Ghai is leaving no stones unturned to make sure that his film is known to all of them as it is releasing on 7th March. Whether it is print, Internet or television media, Ghai is going all out to have his Anil Kapoor and newcomer Anurag Sinha starrer to enjoy the glare of publicity.
Even though the film deals with the topic of terrorism and how one character (who is all 'black') getting in contact with another (who is all 'white') changes their lives, BLACK & WHITE, as per the makers, is as commercial as it gets.
Anil Kapoor has declared that the film boasts of trademark Ghai stamp while the film maker too is promising that BLACK & WHITE would not just inform but also amuse. With the film being only four days away, we would have an answer soon!
