Trouble smiling

Salman may be back in the city after a crucial nerve surgery and keeping up his crazy act for his films and TV shows but the actor needs to take a break after every shot to give respite to the pain near his jaw.

Talking about his nerve disorder, Salman says, “The root cause of the pain is me. Though the surgery was good, this is not one of those surgeries where you get healed instantly. For a speedy recovery one has to go by doctors instruction to the T.”

Salman further explains , “My problem is similar to what Jagjitji (Singh) is hospitalised for, if ignored. And that is something that I have been doing. I regret not having taken a break from work, for a month or so, post surgery. I know it’s a fatal disorder and am trying to keep up to the prescribed post recovery treatment. And that is exactly why Mom too has flown down to Dublin to keep a check on me.”

The actor, who came to Mumbai for just three days to shoot Bigg Boss 5, will be leaving for Dublin tomorrow. Shooting in the cold climate of Dublin has added to the actor’s woes.

“I had become much better after the eight-hour-long non-invasive surgery. In trigeminal neuralgia disorder, one is refrained from consuming anything cold or hot, or for that matter even sit in an air-conditoned ambience for long. But sadly Dublin’s cold climate has created problems in my recovery. I shoot with ear-plugs to avoid cold. I have to go back after three-four months for a test and if that gets cleared, I will be in much better shape,” said Salman. “If not, may be yet another surgery, but I don’t want to think about the negatives as of now,” said the actor.

Dookudu remake with Salman ..

When Diwali is around the corner it’s obvious to have Bollywood`s big projects waiting to hit the theatres. But one film from the South industry is already creating a buzz in India and abroad. Actor Mahesh Babu`s Telugu film ‘Dookudu’ has already been declared as a smash hit in its first week itself. Apparently looking at its success, the Salman Khan camp is already eyeing the idea of its remake in Hindi soon.

‘Dookudu’ has minted a whooping Rs. 30 crore so far. It has banked a tremendous sum of 82,000 dollars at a multiplex in Virginia, the only film to surpass its collections is Brad Pitt’s ‘Moneyball’.

Kona Venkat, who worked on ‘Ready’ in Telugu and Hindi, and is also associated with Anees Bazmee`s ‘No Entry’ sequel and Sohail Khan`s ‘Sher Khan’, confirms the same.

"Sreenu, the director of Dookudu who earlier directed ‘Ready’ in Telugu, is keen to remake Dookudu in Hindi with Salmanbhai. In fact, the lead character`s heroism suits Salman bhai perfectly. We won`t need to make alterations for the Hindi version," he said.

He added that their entire team was aware that the ‘Dabangg’ star would do the remake.

"Even Mahesh Babu said that Salman bhai would be the best actor for the Hindi version," he further revealed.

Though the Telugu version of ‘Dookudu’ cost filmmakers a total of 35 crores to make, the estimated budget for the hindi version of the film with the ‘Bodyguard’ star has been pegged at 60 crores.

However the problem is that the lead protagonist in the Telugu film is a cop and Salman is not keen on another cop role at the moment.

"Salman bhai isn`t keen on another policeman role before the Dabangg sequel," explained Venkat.

He said he is waiting for the actor, currently in Mumbai, to take a call after watching ‘Dookudu’. He further states that if the producer and director decide to wait till ‘Dabangg 2’ is ready, then there should be no reason for Salman to decline the movie.

Ever since Mahesh Babu`s film released, Bollywood producers and actors are vying for the remake rights, which is believed to be over Rs 3 crore. But till Salman makes up his mind, everything on the remake has been put on hold.

Big Bosses on hosting Season 5 of the reality show.

As Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan get ready to host the fifth season of Bigg Boss, they believe that it is their comradery and their life’s experiences that will add to the show’s popularity.

After the much-publicised alleged spat between actors Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt almost a month ago, the two now seem to have put the past behind.

Having signed to host the fifth season of Bigg Boss together, the two were at Mehboob Studios on Thursday to promote the show. Dutt was the first one to arrive and Khan soon followed. After greeting each other briefly and sharing a few personal jokes, they parted ways for the interviews. While Dutt preferred to talk to the journalists in his vanity van, Khan, in his trademark style, sat outside the van with sister Alvira Khan and manager Reshma Shetty in tow. He looked fit after his facial nerve surgery and exclaimed that he is happy to be back home.

Khan, a Bigg Boss veteran, having hosted the previous season of the reality show, said that it was the channel’s decision to get Dutt on board. “My duty was to convince him. Since we trust each other a lot, he instantly agreed,” said the maverick actor. Dutt confessed that he had many television offers in the past, but he stayed away from them because they did not excite him. “Salman kept forcing me to take up television when I met him during 10 Ka Dum. I asked him to tell me when he finds something exciting for me. So when he came up with the offer of co-hosting Bigg Boss alongside him, I was thrilled,” said Dutt.

According to Khan, their coming together means that the ups and downs from their lives will add to the humour quotient of the show. “Whatever we have gone through in life might come out as a joke when we are hosting it,” said Khan. Dutt was a little nervous. “I did a mock rehearsal to get a feel of hosting since I will be doing it for the first time,” he said. Khan, however, believed it would be a cakewalk for Dutt. “His sense of humour is super and he is a spontaneous talker,” said Khan. It will be the chemistry, friendship and brotherhood between the two that will shine the most, insisted the duo.

The Bigg Boss house, known for fights among contestants and abusive language, was in some sort of trouble last season, when the Information and Broadcasting Ministry asked them to can the show if they did not adhere to the ministry’s rules. But Khan dismisses the fear of any such problems this time. He said, “The language is beeped and about the fights, don’t we see our mom and dad fighting at home. So what’s the big deal?”

Indian television, known for its gruelling work hours, has always made Bollywood actors a little apprehensive about taking up shows that require a lot of time. “Once you are on the set, then you are shooting continuously for five hours, unlike films, where we take a break after each shot. But then, once you are committed to a job, you have to give your everything,” said Khan. Dutt, however, insists that the schedule of Bigg Boss will not be as tough. “This is pretty easy. It is only one Saturday,” he said.

However, Khan wanted to send the journalists inside the house because he felt they ask him too many questions. He himself wouldn’t mind staying in the house. “As long as you are fine with your own being, you shouldn’t have a problem staying anywhere. Sanjay and I have been to places similar to Bigg Boss,” smiled Khan. Dutt, on the contrary, wouldn’t stay inside the house, because his three years in jail have sort of made him detest confinement. “But I would love to send David Dhawan in and starve him,” he laughed.

Deepika in bikini for Desi Boyz

If we go by the promo of the ‘Desi Boyz’ then we will find that style quotient is the major USP of the movie. As Akshay Kumar and John Abraham went by their dare bare look, the leading ladies of the movie, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh are also assumed to get into the two piece. Deepika has don bikini in her previous film and she has not any reservations.

However a source close to the film confirms, "There are thousand ways of resorting to escapism but director Rohit Dhawan feels that nudity should be last one to look at," the source says, "Everyone's prerogative and perspective is different. If you are making a 'Boogie Nights' then nudity is unavoidable but a film like DESI BOYZ doesn't require that."

When contacted, Rohit didn't deny any such possibility of his girls getting into bikinis. He says, "There aren't any beaches in the film so no one is going to start swimming. Also no one is playing a lifeguard either. I may put someone in a bikini if a scene genuinely demanded it, but sorry to say, DESI BOYZ doesn't have any room for that."

Well, the hot girls and the desi boys are surely going to soar the temperature.

Veena Malik's Bollywood debut

Veena Malik has just made her Bollywood debut in a sizzling item number.

The 27-year-old Pakistani actor, who shot to fame with reality TV show Bigg Boss, will be seen in the song Main To Teri Fan Ho Gayi, in Riteish Deshmukh- Genelia D’Souza starrer Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya.

“Honestly, I had a few offers for item numbers. But I wanted to pick the best one. This song is extremely spicy, so it goes perfectly with my personality ... at least I feel that way. When Kumarji (producer Kumar Taurani) made me hear the song, I said yes instantly. I hope it’s the right decision,” says Malik.

Veena hopes that her home industry takes a cue from Bollywood and opens doors for better opportunities. “There’s no concept of item numbers in Pakistan. And, there’re hardly any films being made there at the moment. Hope that changes soon,” she said.

The film, directed by debutant Mandeep Kumar, will hit theatres next year.

Prateik's celibacy

Bollywood actors have their ways of making sure that their films set cash registers ringing at the box office.

While some go to temples or shrines, others keep vows as in the case of Prateik, who has promised celibacy, before the release of his " My Friend Pinto".

The 24-year-old actor has decided to practice celibacy for 14 days before his film releases Oct 14.

"This is my first solo film and people do so many things before the release of their films. Some visit religious places to seek blessings, some take a vow of giving up certain things. I have decided to go celibate. I'm just 24, it's my test and I will pass," said Prateik.

"My Friend Pinto", directed by Raghav Dar has been produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and also stars Kalki Koechlin in a pivotal role.

No Crash Diets: Zarine Khan

Actress Zarine Khan, who once weighed 100 kg, shed her weight to make a mark in the entertainment industry but the Character Dheela girl doesn't believe in crash diets and prefers balanced eating habits.

"I am blessed with very beautiful parents. Thanks to them that genetically I have got such a clear and nourished skin," said the one-film-old actress.

"But no doubt pollution and excessive exposure to heat and make-up affect the skin and makes it dull. So, it is important to take care of it - like body treatments, even skin care is important.

"I always endorse balanced diet. I don't believe in crash diets. One should eat healthy and in the right proportion," she added.

Replacement Killer for the sequel of Jannat

Prachi Desai might have opted out of Jannat 2 citing her discomfort with the sexual content in the film, but if sources are to be believed, producers Vishesh Films have found a great replacement for her.

Sources claim that Mahesh Bhatt has signed on Bengali bombshell Paoli Dam.

Dam is known to be an uninhibited actress from Kolkata, who recently agreed to go topless for an Italian film, Italo Spinelli's Choli Ke Peeche.

We believe the Bhatts, brothers Mahesh and Mukesh, are set to get a highly sexually uninhibited performance, one more provocative than even Bipasha Basu's and Mallika Sherawat's characters in Jism and Murder respectively.

Although director Kunal Deshmukh is unwilling to confirm if they have signed on Dam, Deshmukh is willing to admit that Desai quit the film after a kissing scene was added to the script.

"Prachi was very clear that she wouldn't be part of the film if the sexual content was revved up. After some changes were made in the script, she stood by her decision, and I respect that," said Deshmukh.

When asked, Desai said, "There were some changes made in the script. It (quitting) was a collective decision taken by Vishesh Films, Deshmukh and me."

Sanjay Dutt in RGV's Bhhoooo

After Milan Luthria, who roped in Akshay Kumar for Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2, now we hear that Ram Gopal Varma is planning to make a sequel to Bhoot titled Bhhoooo with Sanjay Dutt.

A source revealed, "When Ramuji narrated the idea to Sanju, he was blown away. He immediately evinced his interest in playing a pivotal part in the movie."

Apparently, Dutt and Ramu have been bonding quite a bit on the sets of their forthcoming film Department.

Probed further about Sanjay's part in the horror flick, our source explained, "There's this character in the movie on whom the needle of suspicion falls. And the way Ramuji is conceptualising it, this character surfaces at every twist in the tale. He's almost like the main character in the movie because without him the story could neither begin nor end."

Interestingly, the actor is so fascinated by the director's concept for Bhhoooo that he has even offered to produce it for the filmmaker.

"This is not the first time Sanjay has expressed an interest to produce Ramuji's movie. He offered to back Department also, but then RGV struck a good deal with Viacom 18 Motion Pictures," the source said.

On his part, RGV reverted by text message saying, "We're doing another film and I'm producing along. But it's not a sequel to Bhoot."

When pursued for more information, the filmmaker conceded that he'd be in a better position to talk once the details are finalised.

Clooney dismisses Canalis' text claims

Hollywood star George Clooney has slammed reports that says his ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis sent him a series of angry texts after learning of his reported new romance.

Clooney, 50, split from Canalis in June and is now rumoured to be dating former WWE wrestler Stacy Keibler.

"I never comment on my personal life unless it affects others... and this lie affects others. Since I would be the only actual witness, I ask you to correct your story immediately, but that would assume you cared at all about telling the truth," said Clooney.

A report on a magazine this week suggested that Canalis was unhappy to learn about Clooney's new girl, and sent text messages to his cell phone expressing her dismay.

Moore - Kutcher: Marriage in trouble

Actor Demi Moore's forlorn tweets and a picture posted by her have set off fresh speculation on the fate of her marriage with fellow actor Ashton Kutcher.

Last weekend, the 48-year-old actor apparently spent her wedding anniversary alone.

She tweeted: "When we are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself & study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger. -Epictetus"

It was the same weekend, when husband of six years, Ashton Kutcher reportedly had a fling with a woman identified by some celebrity websites as Sara Leal, 21/23 years old.

On September 27th, Demi Moore tweeted:

The pic drew a barrage of comments from her fans, offering support and hope.

In earlier tweets this month, she said she was 'trying to find the light I lost.'

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have been married since 2005.

Just last year, allegations of a fling with 21-year old Brittney Jones hit their marriage.

But the actor slammed that report. "I think Star magazine calling me a 'cheater' qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees," he tweeted. "STAR magazine - you don't get to stand behind 'freedom of the press when you are writing fiction," he posted.

Ashton Kutcher recently made his big debut on the hit TV sitcom, Two and a Half Men, replacing fired actor Charlie Sheen.

Demi Moore, meanwhile has been busy with social causes.

Kareena's wardrobe for Heroine

Kareena Kapoor will surely be dressed to kill in the title role of Heroine to be directed by Madhur Bhandarkar.

Reportedly Madhur has earmarked a whopping budget of around Rs 1.3 crore solely for Kareena's costumes in the film. The actress will play a top Bollywood star in Heroine and will get a wardrobe of around 150 costumes, styled by her favourite designer Manish Malhotra. Malhotra was also the wardrobe designer for Fashion.

"Madhur's earliest films used to have a total budget of around a crore. In Heroine, Kareena's costumes alone will cost Madhur and his co-producers UTV over a crore.

This film is Madhur's most ambitious project till date and has a budget of nearly Rs 20 crore, so he is in no mood to take chances.

"Besides, the subject has a Bollywood superstar as its central character and will need lots of glitz and glamour as far as look and treatment," a source said.

Keeping with the image of the superstar Kareena portrays in Heroine, most sequences in the film will see her don two to three sets of dresses.

"Bollywood stars are never seen wearing the same dress on two occasions. Many a time, if an event is a longdrawn affair, they even go for multiple changes of wardrobe," reasons our source.

The film is slated to release in 2012 and Madhur went on floors with shooting last week.

Kareena is scheduled to have a final fitting session with Madhur and designer Manish Malhotra by next fortnight.

Kareena gave her nod for Heroine amid much controversy after Madhur had to replace Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

In May, Madhur and Ash launched the film with a grand announcement and photo-ops at the Cannes film festival. Ash had even shot for the film for about nine days on returning from Cannes, but the schedule was thrown in disarray when she announced her pregnancy.

Madhur had no option but to start his project from scratch with a new actress.

In fact, Madhur had originally approached Kareena for the role earlier this year but the actress had then shown reluctance to do the role.

Rumours suggest that Kareena wasn't happy about certain scenes that she would have to do in the film. It was then that Madhur had approached Ash.

For a while Priyanka Chopra was rumoured to have bagged the lead role in the film. She had earlier won a National Award for her role in Fashion.

Madhur however returned to Kareena with a reworked script that met her demands. Soon, the buzz suggested Kareena would be getting a whopping Rs 8 crore for the film, making her Bollywood's costliest actress.

However, subsequent reports said that she was being paid around Rs 5 crore. She is also supposed to get a share from the film's profits.

Heroine takes a look at the turbulent life of a superstar Bollywood actress named Mahie Khanna at her peak, and will attempt to lay bare the grimy grind beneath the glamour.

Kareena apart, the cast of the film features Arjun Rampal, Arunodaya Singh and Shahana Goswami.

Bollywood's Favorite Bad Girl

Fifteen years after suicide, the sultry actress known as Silk Smitha is making a posthumous comeback.

Director Milan Luthria's 'The Dirty Picture' stars award-winning actress Vidya Balan as Silk with veteran film star Naseeruddin Shah along with Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi in lead roles.

The film is scheduled to be released nationwide on December 2, 2011 on the birth anniversary of Silk Smitha.

Through the 1980s, South Indian film star Silk Smitha was shorthand for sex. Her fans just couldn't get enough of either her inviting eyes nor her heaving bosom or any part of her body that you could think of. But the fact is that she never made it big in Bollywood despite her racy roles.

As reported earlier on various magazines "The Dirty Picture will not focus on the sleaze but the tragedy behind the mask of the sex symbol who provided titillation to thousands of viewers but died a lonely and tragic death." This would be a non-explicit account of the life of the doomed sex symbol and has been generating a lot of heat, months ahead of its release.

The film's first trailer, which was released this month, has found a huge audience (over 800,000 hits on YouTube) making promises to push the boundaries of what is sexually acceptable in Bollywood.

The Top spot

The actor made her Telugu debut with Gautham Menon’s hit bilingual, Ye Maya Chesave, post which she has been doing a lot of glamorous roles.

Dookudu hit the screens last Friday, had a bumper initial. Samantha stresses that her role is very important in the film, unlike other superstar flicks.

Samantha is eyeing the top spot in Telugu industry with Dookudu as the likes of Anushka and Ileana seem to be a step below at the moment, though Kajal Aggarwal, who has the all-time blockbuster Magadheera to her credit, seems to be a bit ahead in the race.

Samantha is hoping that Dookudu will keep up its initial momentum and turn out to be a mega hit, which would propel her to the top heroine status in Kollywood.

Samantha also has an interesting line-up of films, including a trilingual directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon titled Nithya in Telugu, alongside Nani. In the Tamil version, she is paired with Jiiva.

Dookudu - The Biggest Hit

The most popular movies at the multiplex this past weekend included some familiar titles: "The Lion King," "Moneyball," "Drive" and "Dookudu: Daring & Dashing."

"Dookudu," an Indian cinema that blends action, comedy, romance and dance sequences, scored three of the seven most lucrative engagements around the United States.

At a multiplex in Fairfax County, VA - the movie took in a whopping $82,000 over the weekend.

Already a hit in India, the film pairs the very popular Mahesh Babu with the gorgeous Samantha in true Indian cinema fashion at a lightning quick 3 hours and 10 minutes.

So what made "Dookudu" so popular?

"Obviously, the most important is the star of the film, Mahesh Babu; then the film is directed by Srinu Vytla, who has earned a name for making mass entertainers Ready, King etc.. The presence of popular comedians Brahmanandam and M.S. Narayana in the film is also an asset, and ‘Dookudu’ has a beautiful heroine Samantha Ruth Prabhu, sharing screen space with Mahesh for the first time."

Lara flaunts it yet again

A pregnant Lara Dutta stepped out with hubby Mahesh Bhupathi to attend the grand bash hosted by Akshay Kumar to celebrate the release of his production Speedy Singhs.

Lara didn't shy away, instead she flaunted her baby bump in a blue-coloured, figure-hugging Hervé Léger skirt. The white top and a snazzy clutch gave the expectant mom a chic look.

Apart from Lara, Aishwarya Rai is also expecting a baby presently. She was recently seen visiting the Siddhivinayak Temple to offer prayers.

Sonam Vs Katrina - Who is hottt ???

The month of September had many sensuous and bold cover looks, and obviously our Bollywood babes were the hot favourite covergirls. So, we chose the two best-looking covers from the month - one was of Sonam Kapoor, and another had Katrina Kaif, for our photo poll.

If Sonam Kapoor was wild and daring on Harper’s Bazaar, wearing a Shane and Peacock’s edgy yet revealing dress, the oh-so-beautiful Katrina Kaif let her eyes do the talking, oozing oomph in an off-shoulder sequined dress for the cover of Elle. Yes, both the ladies looked gorgeous and stunning, but we let our readers rate the covers

We asked its readers, “Who would you rate as the sensuous cover girl for the month?” To which 52 percent readers voted for Sonam, while the rest 48 percent went for Katrina. The total vote count was 1116.

Indeed, the result was very close to a tie between Sonam and Kat. But what makes Sonam Kapoor’s coverpage look more striking than Katrina’s is its glamorous tone. And obviously Sonam, who is a picture-perfect girl, can carry off any kind of make-up and dress quite well.

Katrina suffers wardrobe malfunction

Actress Katrina Kaif recently suffered a big oops moment on the sets of Ek Tha Tiger in Dublin.

Katrina's outfit was obviously not the most practical one for a scene that involved riding a bike.

As Ms Kaif stumbled off the bike, her dashing ex beau and co-star Salman Khan reached out in the nick of time before the shot could get even more disastrous!

Kissing scenes are awkward: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood hearthrob Ranbir Kapoor has locked lips with almost all his co-stars and says that filming a kissing scene is like filming an action sequence.

"I do love stories most of the time. Naturally kissing scenes do come up. I don't say 'daalo' (put in) kissing scenes. Moreover, it's too awkward to kiss a girl in front of hundred people on the sets and in front of camera and lights," Ranbir, who had kissing scenes in "Bachna Aae Haseeno", said on India TV's show Aapki Adalat.

"It's too mechanical. For me, a kissing scene is just like an action sequence.

Normally, I finish off the kissing scene in a single take," added the actor who locked lips with Priyanka Chopra in "Anjaana Anjaani".

The actor, who is busy in promoting his upcoming film "Rockstar", however, got conscious when asked about his broken relationship with actress Deepika Padukone.

"I had a relationship with Deepika. She still continues to be my good friend. But the issue on which our relationship broke is a personal matter. It will be very unfair to the girl if I speak about that, because Deepika is single and may marry someone in future," he said.

Meanwhile, the two actors are set to romance on big screen again in Karan Johar's new production "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani".

Pia's wardrobe malfunction

You could've seen her on the ramp, on a music channel or in a season of Khatron Ke Khiladi. Now, you will see model-turned-veejay Pia Trivedi in this week's release Hum Tum Shabana.

Directed by Bheja Fry director Sagar Ballary, the film also stars Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor and Minissha Lamba.

When interviewed, Pia talked about her big screen debut, her hot item number and much more including her first ever wardrobe malfunction that happened in the sets of 'Hum Tum Shabana' for the hot item number 'Thank you Mr DJ' that is creating a lot of buzz.

Speaking of the wardrove malfunction, Pia said "We were shooting for a song and I was wearing a swimsuit for almost 17 hours. I was a little sceptical about the swimsuit and had tied the knot firmly. After about 15 hours, the knot gave away. While the shot was being taken, I was on a net and people were tossing me in the air. When I was mid-air, I realised that the knot had given way. As soon as I landed, I ran into my vanity van. People thought I had hurt my back. It was my first wardrobe malfunction and would you believe it that it happened on the sets of a film and not on the ramp (smiles).

'Thank you Mr DJ' is Pia Trivedi's 3rd item number in Bollywood. Her earlier performanced was with her lucky mascot Abhishek Bachchan with one for Bluffmaster and another after that for Mission Istanbul.

Kangana was snubbed..

It was supposed to be a meeting that might have been a reconciliation of sorts for Bollywood actor Kangna Ranaut with international society swan Paris Hilton, after the confusion over claims of being the face of Paris’ brand. But Paris didn’t have much to say to Kangna except for a cursory handshake at the party hosted to welcome her in Mumbai.

There was considerable confusion when Kangna made claims that her staff had been contacted by an agency to endorse Paris’s brand of accessories. The fashionista denied it and on her arrival to Mumbai, clarified that she is the face of her own brand.

The party that ensued on Paris' touchdown to Mumbai saw an eclectic guest list, which surprisingly also included Kangna and one of her staff members.

“Kangna made several attempts to speak to Paris Hilton at the party, but she got mobbed as soon as she entered the venue. The host of the party Queenie graciously introduced Kangna to Paris, but she just flitted past her even before Kangna could say a ‘hi’ to her,” reveals a source present at the party.

Kangna made another attempt to get close to Paris, but the latter was busy posing with others and enjoying herself so she couldn’t apparently find the time to talk to the actor. “Just before Kangna decided to leave (post 2am), her companion went towards Paris to try and get a word with the hotel heiress. Paris continued pouting and posing for her fans. After a point, Kangna signalled her staff member to leave and both of them walked out of the party in a huff,” adds the source.

Mahie doesn't mind being tagged 'BOLD'

Mahie Gill is no longer the girl next door. She has moved further away from being that by choosing bold roles in a few films. Be it the role she played in 'Not a Love Story' or the one in 'Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster' - Mahie is now one of the sex symbols of Bollywood tagged 'BOLD' and more and more glamorous roles are just going her way.

Mahie however attributes her success to the directors who make her feel comfortable in filming bold scenes aesthetically.

"I am okay and I'd be happy with any tag as long as people make comment only after watching the movie," said Mahie Gill. Even before 'Not a Love Story' was released, everybody talked about the kissing sequence with her co-star Deepak Dobriyal. However, after watching the film, nobody was bothered about the kissing scene as the content was so strong. So, she doesn’t mind the 'bold actress tag', she says.

Incidentally, she along with other cast of ‘Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster’ was in the Capital to promote their film. You may be aware that the film is based in a small town in the Northern India and stars Jimmy Shergill and Randeep Hooda besides Mahie Gill. ‘Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster is a story packed with intrigue, betrayal and ambition between a beautiful Begum, her Nawab husband and an ambitious young boy! Jimmy Shergill essays the role of a Nawab who lives in an ancestral royal house trying to maintain the status. To cope up with his lifestyle and political ambition, he even takes up contract killing assignments.

Jimmy on an interview said, ‘Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster’ is a modern day interpretation of Guru Dutt’s classic film ‘Saheb Bibi Aur Ghulam’. Randeep Hooda plays the gangster who falls in love with Nawab’s wife. The Unique Selling Point of the film is the entertainment package. Significantly, the film sees Mahie Gill in another bold portrayal in the movie.

Earlier, Mahie played a bold role in Ram Gopal Verma’s ‘Not a Love Story’ by essaying the real life character of actress Maria Susairaj, who was recently sentenced by a court to three years imprisonment in connection with the murder of TV producer Neeraj Grover. Her role in ‘Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster’ is of a complicated woman. Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, best known for his film ‘Haasil’, ‘Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster’ is set to release on Sep 30, 2011.

Sadhurangam revived

If reports are to be believed, Sadhurangam - a film starring Srikanth and Sonia Agarwal is believed to be revived and released in the first week of October after languishing in the cans for the longest time.

The film is said to be released on demand of all those who were blown away on seeing the film.

When inquired about the reason why such a good film had not released earlier, Producer Durairaj said that it was a combination of financial difficulties and other problems that had prevented Sadhurangam from releasing until now.

"It would be released this october as promised," he said.

Director Karu Palaniappan who made the delightful Parthiban Kanavu has made this film and word is that it is very good with music by Vidyasagar which you may recall from 2004.

Lets await the film's release to review its fate at the box-office.

Its all rumors: Jiiva

It was earlier reported that Gautham Menon had signed up Jiiva, Ram and Adithya Roy Kapoor for Nee Thaane En Pon Vasantham’s Tamil, Telugu and Hindi version respectively but Ram had moved out of the Telugu version of the film and the director is looking for another suitable replacement.

Following the reports that Ram had walked out of the film, it was said that Jiiva had bagged the offer. But, Jiiva has now confirmed that he is not doing the Telugu version.

The star said that the Tamil version is being filmed at the moment and he is very busy with it.

Jiiva, however, refused to disclose who would be doing the Telugu version of Gowtham Menon's Nee Thaane En Pon Vasantham.

Genelia's mature wish

Actress Genelia D'Souza, who is known for playing the bubbly, vivacious college girl in most of her films, says she seems to own that spot in Bollywood.

According to her, she is being offered such roles more than other actresses.

"I seem to own the spot of the college girl in Bollywood. Down south, I have been given strong issue based roles. But here I don't get one", said Genelia.

The actress added that she will be playing a mature role in her upcoming film Force opposite John Abraham this time.

Katrina to sizzle in bikini in Dhoom III

The suspense is over. Katrina Kaif has finally agreed to star in Yash Raj Films' Dhoom 3 opposite Aamir Khan and the big question that this confirmation throws up is,

Will Katrina go ahead with the legacy and sizzle wearing a bikini for this film?

For those who came in late, Katrina was always the first choice for the role. However, a precondition for doing the role was that Katrina would have to wear a two-piece in a couple of scenes in the film that the superstar actress was reluctant despite being eager to work in the film.

While confirming Katrina's acceptance of the role, the makers of Dhoom 3 did not, however, mention whether she will wear a two- piece in the film.

Earlier, when Katrina was hesitating to do the role, the makers tried scouting for a fresh face.

"We were unable to find the perfect debutante to play the lead role after almost a year of searching. Briefly, we also tried roping in an international actress but were still unable to find someone who would stand out," Vijay Krishna Acharya AKA Victor, director of the film, said . "Both (YRF head honcho) Aditya Chopra and I really wanted to be sure that the actress we chose is perfect for the role. As reported earlier, Katrina was an obvious choice for all of us. She is someone who we all know will bring tremendous enthusiasm and commitment to the film. This is also the first time Aamir and Katrina will unite on the screen. That certainly adds value to the project," Vijay said. Barring her debut film Boom , Katrina has refrained from wearing a bikini in her career so far.

In fact in her eight-year career, she has largely avoided excessive skin show. The actress, regarded as the most saleable female star by many, has been following the norm of avoiding bold scenes ever since she started dating Salman Khan.

Katrina was recently seen kissing Hrithik Roshan in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara , but that scene was filmed during the phase when she and Salman had briefly broken up.

The buzz on Dhoom 3 suggests Katrina would not only have to sport a bikini, she may also have to share a passionate smooch with Aamir. The Dhoom films have always had scenes that require the heroines to expose in beachwear and also do intimate scenes.

In the first film, Esha Deol got a hot makeover and was seen flaunting a toned body in a bikini. In Dhoom 2, Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan sported two-piece beachwear and also shared a kissing scene with Hrithik Roshan.

Decision to go with Katrina for Dhoom 3 was taken after a lot of discussion and several meetings between Aditya Chopra and Vijay Krishna Acharya.

Meanwhile it seems that Katrina has become YRF's new muse.

Her latest YRF production, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan , is already a big hit. The film has grossed Rs 50 crore in less than two weeks. She has two other YRF productions lined up - Ek Tha Tiger opposite Salman and Yash Chopra's comeback directorial feature opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Lady Gaga's Indian debut

As India makes her debut on the Formula 1 circuit, pop icon Lady Gaga will be leading the celebrations. Actor-producer Arjun Rampal, part owner of hip Delhi nightclub Lap, which will play host to the F1 after-parties, has scored the coup, managing to get the super-busy musician to headline the event. He says, “Since there are going to be so many international celebrities coming down for the races, we knew we had to push the parties to the next level.”

The races are scheduled to take place from October 28- 30 at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida. Rampal admits the negotiations weren’t a cakewalk, saying, “It wasn’t easy getting her down, since she is the biggest superstar in the world. But I have to say her management was cooperative, and the guys from Desihits.com (a music portal that has remixed Gaga’s music with Indian artistes in the past) were also a huge help.”

Ask Rampal whether the headline-grabbing singer had to clear her schedule to make time for his event, and he says, “Lady Gaga was going to be in the region to promote her new album, so that’s something that fell into place. Also, she’s very passionate about India and wanted to explore the market here.”

Unlike her Grammy-winning colleagues, like Jennifer Lopez who is known to demand an all-white room filled with vanilla candles and white roses wherever she goes, Gaga hasn’t made any unreasonable requests in terms of food or décor yet. “The requirements she’s conveyed to us so far are really reasonable,” Rampal reveals, adding, “Everything has been done professionally. So far, it’s been a delight to work with her.”

And while the actor refuses to reveal any details of her potential playlist, he does offer some hope to those who can’t afford the Rs 40,000 ticket to watch Gaga perform. “We’re in conversation with a few broadcast partners to be able to televise the show,” he says.

Vodka to shed clothes: Mahie

Mahie Gill is the talk of the town for having done a steamy lovemaking scene with co-star Randeep Hooda in this Friday’s release Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster.

While promoting the film in Chandigarh on Sunday, the actress opened up about the lovemaking scene and how she shed her inhibition before shooting it.

“Bold scenes that I am doing in the movie are an indispensable and inseparable part of it. But I think those scenes are only hot, and not vulgar,” Mahie Gill, who originally hails from Punjab, told reporters at a press meet.

Apparently, the scenes in the movie required Mahie to also shed her clothes.

“I shed my clothes as the movie demanded so and not to hit the headlines,” she said in a matter of fact way.

But was she comfortable doing the hot scene?

“I was not able to do it. But Vodka is just awesome. One peg of Vodka worked for me and finally I did it. Thrilled by the Vodka-effect, I loaded myself with another 3-4 pegs.” Mahie revealed on a lighter note.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster is directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and also stars Jimmy Shergill. Jimmy plays Mahie’s husband in the film and Randeep plays her gangster lover.

Ranbir admits cheating in a relationship

He stays away from commenting on the matters of heart. But for the first time Ranbir Kapoor admits he has cheated in a relationship. His on-off dalliances with a host of beauties have caused enough trouble for him.

Once a friend of his, who is also a popular actor, said on a chat show that he wishes to gift Ranbir Kapoor a ‘Ways to be Faithful’ book. Now the proverbial Casanova of Bollywood dares to wear his attitude on his sleeve and talks to the film magazine Stardust. In his frank talk, Ranbir confesses to cheating on his partner (who is she?) and denies dating Angela Jonnson, Nargis Fakhri and recently Prerna Goel - the three women with whom he has been linked.

While talking to the magazine, Ranbir also has something to say on Deepika Padukone’s famous ‘condom’ comment made on a chat show. He says: “the next time someone gifts me condoms, I will say thank you for making me aware of safe sex.”

And what he has to say about Sonam Kapoor, who believes he is not sexy? “If Sonam says I am not sexy. She really means it. She is not saying for the effect. If someone feels I am not sexy, my parents should feel sad, not me,” says Ranbir Kapoor.

Ranbir gets things straight, right!

Mayakkam Enna: The slick trailer

The trailer of the film was launched during the Airtel Super Singers Live show that was aired on Vijay TV and it has naturally caught the attention of the viewers raising the expectation levels several notches up.

The television show 'Airtel Super Singers' enjoys immense popularity and it was indeed a good move to launch the trailer.

Mayakkam Enna is a directorial venture by Selvaraghavan and it has Dhanush and Richa Gangopadhyay playing the lead roles.

The songs have been set to tune by G V Prakash and they have already turned out to be chartbusters and interestingly, Dhanush has turned a lyricist in Mayakkam Enna.

The film is scheduled to release this diwali racing along with the Vijay starrer Velayutham and Suriya starrer 7aum Arivu.

There were a lot of expectations that Mayakkam Enna would be released in September in order to avoid the Diwali rush, but the post production work seems to have delayed its release.

7aam Arivu: The Pinnacle in Career

Film director A R Murugadoss had earlier said that neither Suriya nor he could make a film like 7aam Arivu for the next five years.

Elaborating on it, the director said that there was so much of hard work involved in the making of 7aam Arivu and they cannot think of working so hard at least for another five years.

A R Murugadoss had three scripts ready for Suriya and it was the star that chose the 7aam Arivu script because he wanted to reach the pinnacle with his acting.

7aam Arivu is expected to further up actor Suriya’s already soaring star status when it is released this Diwali.

Katrina to raise oomph in Dhoom 3

The hunt for a leading lady for Dhoom 3 is over!

Katrina Kaif will sizzle in the third instalment of the action-adventure series, which features Aamir Khan as the anti-hero.

Yash Raj Films (YRF) had been on the lookout for a fresh face for the role, which was essayed by Esha Deol and Aishwarya Rai, in Dhoom and Dhoom 2, respectively.

"After almost a year of searching for a new face for Dhoom 3, we were still unable to find the perfect debutante to play the lead role. We even reached out to international talent but were still unable to find someone who stood out," said director Vijay Krishna Acharya aka Victor.

The choice was made jointly by Victor and producer Aditya Chopra.

"Once we decided to go with a known face and not pursue the newcomer route, Katrina was the obvious choice for all of us," Victor said in a YRF press statement last Friday.

Katrina has been riding high on the success of films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and another YRF venture Mere Brother Ki Dulhan earlier this year.

"She is someone whom we all know will bring tremendous enthusiasm and commitment to the film. The first time pairing of Aamir with Katrina will also certainly add value," he added.

Mausam crossed its hurdles

The troubles for Shahid Kapur and Sonam Kapoor's Mausam have ended and the movie has seen the light of the day.

So, as Shahid and dad Pankaj Kapur hosted a grand premiere to mark the release of their film, everyone seemed excited to watch the epic love story that marks the directorial debut of the latter.

Those in attendance included Hrithik Roshan, Riteish Deshmukh, Rani Mukherjee, Bipasha Basu, Sonakshi Sinha and Rakesh Mehra.

The father-son duo looked relieved that they'd finally get to catch up on some good night's sleep after all the hiccups Mausam had faced.

Shahid and Sonam looked extremely cute together, especially the latter, who was an instant hit in her retro look, but Bollywood's other fashionistas didn't dissapoint!

Hrithik with wife Suzan were amongst the first ones to enter, while Bipasha and Genelia D'souza came in straight from Ahmedabad.

Sonam's "good friend" Punnet Malhotra was also spotted making a quite entry and exit, clearly avoiding any questions related to Sonam.

Shahid, along with Rani, paraded quite a few times on the red carpet. While Genelia-Riteish and a few others just came by to say "hi" while most of them stayed back and watched the entire film.

Most of them gave a big thumbs up to the movie.

When Mrinalini slapped Rajeev

Yet to become a household name, Mrinalini Sharma has all her hopes pinned on her upcoming release Soundtrack, in which she stars alongside television's favourite lover-boy Rajeev Khandelwal.

While Mrinalini's excitement regarding the film is literally palpable, her blooper-moments from the shoot still leave her red in the face.

One such instance is a scene in the film, which required her to slap Rajeev's character.

Mrinalini was quite uncomfortable with the idea and was unsure if she would be able to convincingly fake a slap. So Rajeev being a sport asked her to ditch her apprehension and actually slap him.

" I literally slapped Rajeev hard and (luckily) we got the shot right," an embarrassed Mrinalini said. The true professional that Rajeev is, even took it in his stride.

Tiger Pataudi's demise

“Legend”, “great captain”, “style icon”, “gentleman” — that’s how the Bollywood brigade remembered former Indian cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi on receiving news of the 70-year-old’s demise.

Pataudi, 70, was admitted to New Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on 29 August 2011 with an acute lung infection. The infection was caused by chronic interstitial lung disease which prevented his lungs from exchanging oxygen properly. He died of respiratory failure on 22 September 2011 at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.

The former Indian captain, 70, is survived by his wife, actress Sharmila Tagore, and three children:

Saif Ali Khan, a Bollywood actor;
Soha Ali Khan, a Bollywood actress;
Saba Ali Khan a jewellery designer.

Journo was easy: Minisha Lamba

After her last release Bheja Fry 2, Bollywood babe Minissha Lamba is all excited for her next flick Hum Tum Shabana that is to release shortly.

Minissha has earlier shot down reports that she had walked the ramp in a bikini playing a contestant to a beauty queen pageant, saying there was such a scene in the script but she had refused to do it.

Ask her about the film and she says,"Hum Tum Shabana is a comedy film revolving around two model co-ordinators played by Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade and a beauty pageant contestant that I play in this film." The film is about the duo's attempt to train her and their battle to woo her that soon turns into a factor to lose her. So, it's one of the rarest of the romantic comedies where the story revolves around a female character.

Though Minissha is quite excited about Hum Tum Shabana..., she also has Farah Khan's Joker and Anand Kumar's next Zilla Ghaziabad in queue.

Ask her about them and she says, "Well, in Joker I am playing the role of a journalist and must say it was very easy as I have been in constant touch with so many journalists and also speak to them very often that I had the background to work on. In Zilla Ghaziabad, I will be seen playing Arshad Warsi's mistress. It's a hardcore political crime thriller set in the area of Ghaziabad."

Mahie Gill's intimate video with Randeep Hooda leaked online

The cast and crew of Saheb Biwi aur Gangster was in for a rude shock when they saw some clippings of intimate scenes between Mahie Gill and Randeep Hooda being leaked on few websites.

When someone from production saw the clipping, they immediately took action and have blocked the video from the internet portals. Says a source, "The video was from the shoot and not from the film's footage. Some member from the crew might have shot the sequence in his or her mobile and decided to play mischief. The production team thankfully got to know about it and the video has been blocked now".

Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia also stars Jimmy Shergeill and is slated for release on September 30th.

The film is set in a small town and it is about a beautiful woman, her husband and an ambitious gangster.
