SEXY TEASERS

After hand-painting the poster of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Rowdy Rathore, the street painters hired by the filmmakers have now created a portrait of the film’s lead cast Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha.

According to an insider from the film set, the actors had to spent almost four hours standing still in the same position, so the artists could create the piece flawlessly.

“Four painters were hired for the job and they all worked simultaneously and presented four versions, all of which will be unveiled in due course of time,” said an insider.

The long-delayed Saif Ali Khan production venture Agent Vinod has been completed and the film will release on March 23, says director Sriram Raghavan.

Raghavan revealed that the celebrity couple - Saif and Kareena - shot for the last day of Agent Vinod on December 24.

"My shooting with Saif and Kareena is over. We are all done. Saif and Kareena did their last shooting for my film on December 24 and left for their holiday. We are now in post-production work. The release date is March 23," said the director known for making thrillers like Ek Hasina Thi and Johnny Gaddaar.

The Kareena-Saif wedding would follow in the last week of March or the first week of April.

The next schedule of Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine has been advanced from the end of February to the middle of February to accommodate the promotion and release of Agent Vinod into Kareena's clogged schedule, followed by the wedding and honeymoon.

"After the release of Agent Vinod, the wedding will happen immediately. Kareena and Saif don't want to delay it any more," reported the source.

Just one film old and Sonakshi Sinha has shot for one item number already. What's more is the fact that the pretty lass seems to be aware of all the tricks which take a sizzling song to the top position. No wonder, for a raunchy number in her upcoming film Joker, the actress is aping the dance steps of Katrina Kaif in Chikni Chameli, which has already created waves all over.

'Dance Karle English Mein' is the title of the song which showcases Sonakshi in a village girl attire, something she carries off with no inhibitions. Wearing a fire colour chaniya choli and dancing away to glory with men around, Ms. Sinha surely reminds one of Chikni Chameli.

It will be interesting to wait and watch whether Dance Karle…too becomes a huge rage like Chikni…or falls flat just as a replica.

Leave the moving and grooving to Katrina Kaif for she knows her job best.

After a sizzling Sheila, bindass Bodyguard and Chikni Chameli, Katrina's only gotten better at it. But fame, as always, comes at a price.

Sources from Bollywood recently revealed that the shooting schedule for Katrina's Chikni Chameli song for Agneepath was rather demanding and stretched over long hours. So much so, that while shooting for the song, Katrina got blisters and her feet started bleeding. Worried about her condition, her staff asked the choreographer to stop the shoot.

Packing up for the day would have meant sending Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt home, too. But Katrina proved to be a thorough professional and insisted that the actors needn't worry about her.

Katrina resumed her dance in no time, and completed the shoot as planned. Looks like this Chameli gave it her 100 per cent, no aadha, pahua here!

The buzz is that Trisha will be playing Jiiva's heroine in his next film with director Ahmed of Vaamanan fame.

Touted as a light and frothy love story with music by Harris Jeyaraj, this yet to be titled film is scheduled to go on the floors in February.

Trisha is all set to make a strong comeback to Tamil films as she will be seen in Samaran opposite Vishal. Jiiva is currently one of the hottest stars in the South and the general opinion is that they will make a sizzling couple onscreen.

Four other heroines are also running for the heroines role but Ahmed's choice is Trisha and he is keeping his fingers crossed hoping that all goes well with this project.

The National Media Network has selected Vidya Balan as the best actress and will honor her with an award on January 21st in a grand event.

Vidya’s performance in The Dirty Picture has won her accolades from all quarters as she excelled in her role in the film.

This has fetched the actress the award for best acting. Further, the film, The Dirty Picture has also been adjudged as the best film. These awards will be distributed at the function on January 21st.

Richa’s Hindi debut is uncertain for now. The actress was signed up for Shortcut Romeo, to be directed by Susi Ganesan.

Shortcut Romeo is a remake of the Jeevan-Sonia Agarwal starrer Thiruttupayale.

Susi Ganesan, the director of the film is yet to begin the shooting and Richa is said to have declined the offer to star opposite Vijay in Thuppaki as she was set on making her Bollywood debut.

Shortcut Romeo, the Bollywood project of director Susi Ganesan that was to launch Richa is now likely to be shelved, say sources in the tinsel town. It is worth mentioning here that Richa would also be making her debut in the Bengali remake of Vikramarkudu.

Vadivelu may just make a re-entry with Mareesan, actor Dhanush’s next with director Simbu Devan.

The comedian was last seen in the Prashanth starrer Mambattiyan, that started rolling before the 2011 state assembly polls. However it may be recalled that the results of the poll gave no chance to the actor on signing up new projects.

The buzz now is that Vadivelu has been signed up for Mareesan, a Dhanush starrer that is to be directed by Simbu Devan. The director has given a hit film Imsai Arasan 23aam Pulikesi in which Vadivelu not only played the lead role but also appeared in dual roles.

Looks like Simbu Devan might give Vadivelu the much needed break at this time of his career with Dhanush having given his nod of consent already.

Kamal Haasan is very passionate about his new film Vishwaroopam, an upcoming bilingial spy thriller which he says is currently the biggest project in Tamil cinema.

"I was not getting any younger to just stand by and let the director waste anyone's time besides wasting his own," said Kamal Haasan on his decision to direct the film. It can be recalled that Selvaraghavan was supposed to direct this film before Kamal Haasan was forced to take over the responsibilities.

Kamal Haasan also mentioned of actress Sonakshi Sinha whose dates were also wasted being the original choice for the heroine's role that is now being played by Pooja Kumar. The actor conveyed his apologies to Sonakshi and parted ways hoping to work together in the future.

About the kind of films being made in India today, Kamal said that he appreciates the kind of films that Aamir Khan does and it is such films that keeps his interest in Bollywood movies going.

Katrina is now among the list of most searched celebrities on the internet.

Thanks to the reigning Bollywood Queen that her search results also brings up other public figures making them famous more or less.

Katrina Halili is a Filipina actress, commercial model and music producer who had not gained any popularity despite covering leading magazines such as FHM and Maxim. She made her onscreen debut through Starstruck and even her 2009 sex tape with Dr. Hayden Kho did not help her.

Did you wonder why you're even reading about her ?

It is no surprise if you're read this assuming it to be Katrina Kaif because Ms. Halili is also one of the most searched celebrities after the immense popularity of the Bollywood icon.

There has been talk about a Bollywood remake of A.R Murugadoss's film 'Ramana' with Vijaykanth for quite some time now.

After all the speculation, it seems that something concrete is finally happening. Sanjay Leela Bhansali loved the film and had purchased the remake rights for it.

Bhansali then approached Shah Rukh Khan for the role and word is that SRK loved the role. A.R Murugadoss has been asked to wield the directorial baton again and apparently he has agreed since he is keen to work with SRK.

Dhoom 3 is already one of the most awaited movies of 2012. And spurring the curiosity levels of the audiences is Katrina Kaif’s latest revelation.

Katrina Kaif also said that Dhoom 3 is a prestigious film for her, Yash Chopra and the entire Dhoom team. She confessed that she is really looking forward to working in the film opposite Aamir Khan.

Though, this is the first time Kat will be seen opposite Aamir Khan, Katrina is already praises for him! She said that she is sure it’ll be a learning experience for her to work with Aamir Khan.

And since, besides Dhoom 3, Katrina will also be seen in two other Yash Raj flicks (Ek Tha Tiger and another romantic movie where she will be paired opposite Shahrukh Khan), buzz suggests that she is the latest hot favourite of the Yash Raj camp. Katrina Kaif retorted by saying that she only competes with herself and focuses on her work; everything else is insignificant to her.
