Katrina stalked

Last week, Katrina Kaif had the scare of her life when she learnt she was being stalked.

To make matters worse, the stalker managed to hoodwink the security guards in her building and landed up at the actress’ house twice. Fortunately, he was handed over to the police last week.

A close friend of Katrina said, “The man had been constantly hanging out outside Katrina’s building but no one paid any attention to him. But, a week ago he went up to her house early in the morning and told the domestic help that Katrina had summoned him. It was 7.30am and as Katrina was asleep, the domestic help called up Katrina’s business manager, who asked the man to come back later in the evening.”

Preity lonesome in America

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Ask Preity Zinta, who chose an ideal outlet for the stress built-up over work and emotional trauma. She chose to spend time by herself on a 20-day trip to LA and New York.

A source said, “Preity has been stressed out for a while now. Ever since the IPL began, she has been on her toes. Though she is the owner of Kings XI Punjab, she chose to don the role of an active team member at the beck and call of her team members. As a result, she would wake up much earlier than everyone did and go to sleep only after her team members hit the sack. Her enthusiasm cost her health and very soon she was down with a sore throat and fever.

To add to her woes, her break-up with Ness Wadia, her long-time industrialist boyfriend, started doing the rounds at the same time. Already stressed because of her broken relationship, Preity was slowly getting bogged down by the media attention. She was waiting for the right opportunity to get away from the spotlight. Once the IPL was over, she came to Mumbai to complete some paper work and meet her mother. She eventually flew off for a 20-day vacation to LA and New York on Wednesday night.”

Confident that her impromptu holiday plans would nurse her wounds and her exhausted mind, Preity is also looking forward to letting her hair down. The source added, “She’s a mature person who doesn’t want to lie low and appear like a heartbroken lover. Preity wants to enjoy life and has already planned activities like catching up on movies and attending rock concerts. This well-deserved break is also a golden opportunity for her to catch up with old friends in LA and New York, whom she hasn’t met for years.”

The dimpled actress was so kicked about her holiday plans that she even backed out of performing at an awards function.

Though Preity was unavailable for comment, her spokesperson confirmed the news. She said, “Yes, Preity has taken off on a holiday to LA and New York for 20 days. She’s been working hard and needed a break very badly

Speaking on the choice for Macau as the host for IIFA Weekend 2009, Wizcrafts' Sabbas Joseph said, "We feel it's the Las Vegas of the East. In this the tenth year of IIFA's existence we wanted either the US or China to be our venue. We chose China because we feel it could be a gateway for Indian cinema to the West. We also hope to end the deadlock between India and China over the exchange of cinema. We haven't come away from one venue without opening up doors for the India film industry. We're confident this would be the case in China.

Salman mania hits runaway boys

Runaway teens reach Mumbai from Shimla to meet their idol, Salman Khan. Instead of the actor, who wasn't at home, the boys meet two more heroes in a city overrun by villains

Here's a story that will restore your faith in this city.

Two star-struck teens from Shimla hit Mumbai to meet their hero, Salman Khan. Like so many other stories, this one too could have ended up in tragedy, but for two unusual people the boys ran into a passenger on the train to Mumbai and a cop.

Thank you: The two boys from Shimla (faces blurred, as they are minors), with Rishu Jarat (hiding his face), who helped the boys, flanked by the Bhoiwada cops

There are few heroes who inspire as much love and craze as Salman Khan. Ask Rahul Kanojia (16) and Dinesh Gupta (14). The two teenagers from Shimla ran away from home and boarded a train to Mumbai only to meet their idol. Fortunately, the police managed to trace them before the minors fell in the wrong hands, thanks to a Good Samaritan.

In their police statement, the boys said that on Sunday, they took a bus from Shimla to Ambala, from where they bought tickets and boarded the Golden Temple Express to Mumbai. They had Rs 15,000 with them, which Dinesh had taken from his uncle's pocket, along with two debit cards.

In the train, they met one Rishu Jarat of Ludhiana, who took them to a relative's saloon in Parel when they arrived at Dadar station on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, their worried parents had registered a missing complaint at a Shimla police station. While Rahul is in Std IX at Shimla Model School, Dinesh studies in Std VII at Ahuja Education Centre.

Additional Superintendent of Police (Shimla) Anand Kumar Dhiman told MiD DAY, "On Wednesday, the boys contacted their parents from an unknown mobile number saying they were at Delhi railway station and that they were safe. The boys also made their parents speak to a stranger who identified himself as Rishu Jarat. However, the mobile tower showed the location of the mobile phone somewhere in Maharashtra. Rishu had also provided a landline number to their parents, which was traced to a saloon in Parel."

Abduction

At first Dhiman thought it was a case of abduction. He contacted the Mumbai Zonal DCP Sanjay Bhaviskar, who directed the Bhoiwada police station to trace the boys, who were found at the same saloon. "The timely act of the young boy Rishu has prevented the boys from falling into the wrong hands," said Bhaviskar.

When the boys told Bhaviskar about their desire to meet Salman, he was moved. So, yesterday, the cops took the boys to Galaxy Apartments on Bandstand, Bandra, where Salman lives. Unfortunately, the actor was not at home, but the cops took them to Bandra Fort and St Andrews High School, where an ad shoot was on. "Even though they couldn't meet Salman, the kids were happy that they got a chance to see the shooting," said senior PI Prakash George of Bandra police station.

The excited young boys told MiD DAY, "We enjoyed the film shoot and are happy we came to Mumbai. We promise not to run away from home again." The boys are currently with Bhoiwada police and will be handed over to their parents who are expected to reach Mumbai today. While Dinesh's father is an agent in a vegetable market, Rahul's father runs a garment shop.

(Names of the minors have been changed to protect their identities)

Shilpa to join R&B artist Akon at IPL finale

Johannesburg, May 21, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty will join American R&B sensation Akon as he sings his Grammy award winning “Smack That” at the closing ceremony of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wanderers here Sunday night.

Organisers also said here Wednesday that Katrina Kaif will join a troupe of Indian and South African dancers led by award-winning choreographer Shiamak Davar to perform the Oscar-winning A.R. Rahman song “Jai Ho” from “Slumdog Millionaire”.

The two actors will be the only ones performing at the finale, ending widespread speculation here that a bevy of Bollywood beauties would feature at the closing ceremony.

Caribbean music legend Eddy Grant will perform the ever popular “Walking on Sunshine” and his anti-apartheid hit “Gimme Hope Jo’anna”, which became an anthem in the days when the white minority government of South Africa strictly regulated everything from music and song to social gatherings.

The five-week IPL will end on a high note for Shilpa performance-wise, but this will be clouded by the fact that her Rajasthan Royals team have no hope of retaining their champion status from the inaugural series last year.

Other highlights on the night will include a perfectly synchronised piece featuring renowned percussionist Shivamani and a group of Indian and South African drummers.

Apart from the various musical acts, the crowd will also be introduced to the Miss Bollywood IPL South Africa finalists, culminating with the crowning of the winner of the beauty competition, who will get a guided tour through Bollywood as one of her prizes.

This apart, 1,500 flying lanterns will be lit and released while a thrilling pyrotechnics show using several thousand rounds of fireworks will light up the Johannesburg skyline as final awards signal the end of an unprecedented cricket event which was keenly taken up by locals, who also opened their hearts to the thousands of Indians who came to watch the series.

1989 Aamir Khan Starrer Raakh Revamped for a 2009 Release

A film’s fate is left to audience; be it a typical Bollywood masala or an off beat one. But here, Aamir Khan is testing audience taste, if it had changed over 20 years’ time. If you didn’t get what I am saying, then here it is! Aamir Khan’s off beat movie Raakh that was released almost 20 years back and bombed at the box office without clues is releasing with digitalization of visual and sound effects.

Raakh is all set to release once again on June 12. The film was released during its first attempt in 1989 with few prints in barely 3 cities. The lead cast include Aamir Khan, Supriya Pathak (remember this girl who must have charmed our dads?), Pankaj Kapoor, Naina Balsawer.

It was Aamir Khan’s sister Nuzhat Khan who had scripted the film along with dialogues. Ah! Yes! Nuzhat Khan is Imran Khan’s momma. The film is released as joint enterprise of Audacity International and Storm Enterprises. Raakh’s director Aditya Bhatacharya and co-producer Asif Noor are asking for a stake in the movie. Revamped Raakh is expected to be a box office blitzkrieg, just like any Aamir Khan movie as of now.

If Raakh becomes a success it will open up revamp series in Bollywood for sure. But I am wondering as to how it might feel to see Aamir as young 25 + year old on a digital format! We will update the preview with trailer when it is available, keep watching here.

Akshay-Twinkle arrested for unbuttoning act at Lakme Fashion Week

After combating and defending his ‘obscene unbuttoning act’ at the Lakme Fashion Week, bashed by the moral brigade of the country, fulfilled his moral obligation by appearing at the Vakola Police Station for his awaiting arrest.

The actor who frowned many with his abashed unbuttoning act at the Lakme Fashion Week with wife Twinkle in tow, is busy paying the price for the naughty act done in zest and haste.

Trying to brush aside the obscenity complaint filed with the Vakola police by a citizen, the daredevil actor said, “It was nothing. Last year, too, a girl opened one button on my jeans as part of an endorsement because the campaign signified freedom. This time it was my wife. It was not a last-minute improvisation on the ramp. It was all part of the act. In a country hit by poverty and economic recession, someone makes an issue about my wife unbuttoning my jeans! They should appreciate the fact that I asked Twinkle rather than a stranger.”

And it’s not just Akshay who is in the line of fire; his better half Twinkle gives him company here too.

The publicity stunt seems to have stirred such a controversy that a joint complaint against the couple was filed.

Twinkle had been arrested earlier and released on bail but Akshay’s arrest was awaited as he was busy in shooting. The actor was soon released on bail.

Ram Gopal Varma did it all for publicity….

Ram Gopal Varma’s permisiion to air his song Jana Gana Mana Rann Hai in his forthcoming film Rann that is reportedly based on the national anthem has been denied by The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). This has made him highly disappointed.

While addressing the media, Vijaya Chawak, secretary to CBFC chairperson Vinayak Azad said that the song violates guidelines 219 of Section 5B2 of the Cinematography Act and the lines Jana Gana Mana are a violation of the National Honour Act of 1971.

Apparently, Rann co-producer Sheetal Talwar (with Madhu Mantena) is unaware of the order by CBFC is waiting for Azad’s return on Wednesday, who is still traveling.

But the controversial director is very upset. . “The Rann song is not the national anthem. It’s just inspired by what the national anthem stands for. The national anthem has a completely different meaning. But, yes, the Rann song stands exactly for what the national anthem does today… and in consideration of what we are going through”.

People saying that RGV knew the song would meet these consequences and did it all for the publicity makes him feel angry. Responding to such statements RGV says, “Of course, I have done it for publicity. Any material that goes out of a filmmaker’s office by way of interviews, audio-visuals, music pieces or anything else is to garner publicity for his film. I have made a film and I want as many people out there as possible to know that it will soon come to their theatres. I also want them to know what the film is going to be all about. I ask you, if I had known that this was going to happen, would I deliberately turn people off my film?”

He says that in no manner did he attempt to ridicule or demean or show the national anthem in a bad or comic light. It only seeks to draw attention of all concerned to the problems that the country has.

Preity zinta refuses Deepa Mehta

Preity Zinta was all praise for her “Heaven on Earth” director Deepa Mehta when the film was up for release. But after the movie’s failure at the box-office, Preity is not too certain about working with her again.

Deepa is currently finalising the cast of her new film. While Akshay Kumar has been decided as the male lead she wanted Lisa Ray to play the female lead. But Lisa refused as she is signed up for a US TV show.

After Lisa said no, Deepa offered the role to Preity.

Preity knew that she was Deepa’s second choice and hence refused to be a part of the film. However, she was diplomatic while saying no. She said she has taken up a TV show and hence would not be able to give dates for Deepa’s film.

Indian films get positive response in Cannes

With "Slumdog Millionaire" having made waves on the global scene, Indian movie themes and filmmakers are beginning to reap the benefits in the international sales and co-productions arena at the ongoing Cannes Film Market.

"'Slumdog' has opened a door for Indian cinema," says Hollywood producer Ashok Amritraj. "We have to put our foot in and capitalise on the opportunity."


The happy augury is that several Indian films have been picked up for global distribution by frontline sales agents and the going could only get better from here on if filmmakers from this part of the world, as Amritraj points out, can learn the rules of the game.

The Indian Film Company (TIFC) has made history by selling its "Road, Movie", written and directed by Dev Benegal, to Fortissimo Films, which is one of the world's leading sales agents with offices in Amsterdam, London, Paris, New York and Hong Kong.

"'Road, Movie' is an important milestone in our company's endeavour to support India's growth on the cinematic world stage," said Sandeep Bhargava, CEO of the advisory board of TIFC.

TIFC has also got leading British distribution company HanWay Films on board to handle Gurinder Chadha's "It's a Wonderful Afterlife", starring Golden Globe winner Sally Hawkins, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Jimi Mistry and Shabana Azmi.

Endeavour Independent has bought the distribution rights of Venus Records and Tapes' "Hisss", a Hindi-English film directed by Jennifer Lynch and starring Irrfan Khan and Mallika Sherawat.

Also playing for big global stakes is Ambika Hinduja's Serendipity Films. It is pitching the Leena Yadav-directed "Teen Patti" for widespread global sales in the Cannes Film Market. The film features Amitabh Bachchan, Ben Kingsley, R. Madhavan and Saira Mohan.

"We want to make cinema that will appeal to audiences in both India and around the world," Hinduja, whose previous production was Homi Adjania's wickedly quirky "Being Cyrus", told Variety in Cannes.

India's biggest entertainment sector player, Reliance Big Pictures, has brought a slew of arthouse films, besides Anurag Basu's Hrithik Roshan-Barbara Mori starrer "Kites", to the Cannes market. The response, company representatives say, has been hugely encouraging.

Big Pictures' offbeat regional line-up includes Buddhadeb Dasgupta's "Janala" (Bengali), Shaji N. Karun's "Kutty Srank" (Malayalam), Amol Palekar's "Samantar" (Marathi), M.S. Sathyu's "Ijjudu" (Kannada), and Rituparno Ghosh's "Abohomaan" and "Shob Charitra Kalponik" (both Bengali).

"We will be unveiling these films in various major festivals in the coming months," says Reliance Entertainment chairman Amit Khanna.

IPL prevents Shilpa from voting

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has flown to India from South Africa to cast his vote in the 2009 general elections. Actress Shilpa Shetty regrets that she won't be able to exercise her franchise this time because of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

"I just regret the fact that I won't be in India to cast my vote; I really wanted to this time. Elections have to be taken seriously if you are a responsible citizen. Unfortunately with the unexpected turn of events and the IPL being shifted to SA it's become difficult. I would not miss voting for anything otherwise," the actress posted on her blog.

"But to all those Indian citizens who want the best for our country, now is the time to make the decision, don't waste your democratic right to choose. Vote!" she added.

Shilpa is the co-owner of the Rajasthan Royals team of the IPL.

Did Preity Zinta upset some fans in SA

Our dimpled darlin’ rarely upsets her fans (though sometimes she does get into a brawl with mediafellas), and owing to her eternal bubbly image on screen, she has a huge kiddie fan following too.

So ZOOM was really surprised when recently a fan wrote to us ranting about her ‘once favourite’ star – PZ. Apparently, Preity Zinta was doing a promotional event for the media with her team on the beaches of South Africa; and was so heavily into doing the drill that she was inadvertently brusque with a female fan. The girl fan simply requested her to pose for a picture and, “she bluntly refused,” said the disappointed fan.

She also added in an email to us, “Preity, in her enthusiasm may have forgotten that the time on the beach was for crowd interaction with the players and for giving youngsters an opportunity to mingle with the sporting stars. So I was hurt when I was ignored.” Okay gal, we understand your grouse, but honestly, PZ is hardly like that. And stars do get busy and involved. Also, when it comes to work, everything else is secondary for Ms Zinta. And being a glam-gal in the sporting biz is no mean task.

C’mon gal, be a sport, next time around we promise ya that PZ will pose for pics first, and then go back to the field. We at ZOOM will ensure that and capture it on camera too. And we can see Preity flashing those ‘dees’ already!

Is Kareena Raju's new Munniben

He may be the man who created a ‘short-circuit’ in the world of cinema with his Munnabhai– Circuit jodi, but when it comes to any talk about the gorgeous Kareena Kapoor, director RajKumar Hirani finds himself getting a wee bit short-circuited.

Hey, hey, and before Saif sets his sight on this director, let us add that this Raju is one gentleman.

In fact, his appreciation was purely based on an amazing shot she delivered for his 3 Idiots. Apparently, Ms K delivered such a power-packed performance in an emotional scene, in just one take; that it left Hirani flabbergasted. He couldn’t believe it! Simply because he was prepared for several takes as it was a difficult scene.

But voila... Kareena gave a perfect shot. Raju and the unit broke into a thunderous applause. And he’s been a ‘fan’ ever since. But we wish he’d stay on the Munnabhai track and not get swayed by heroine-antics. A Munniben series honestly, doesn’t sound that appetising.

Aishwarya Rai says 'No' to Vivek and Salman

Rumours were rife about Aishwarya being cast alongside ex-flames Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan for Tansen. However, Satish Kaushik puts them all to rest by saying that he hasn’t approached any of the three for the project.

The director has only considered Abhishek Bachchan for the role so far, and the production house is nothing less than irritated with the rumours.

Little B has agreed to sit through the narration, while the scripting is yet to be completed.

Preity has a Hollywood look-alike

Recently, in South Africa, while Bollywood’s bubbly actress Preity Zinta was cheering for her IPL team, she was mistaken for Monica Bellucci!

Since the actress turns up for the matches with bare minimal to no make-up, the westerners have been thinking they are getting a glimpse of the Italian hottie. We wonder if Preity is aware of this yet.

SRK's Blog: "We have been hit and hit hard"

Keep the Faith

You must have heard a thousand times that the way to victory does not lie in how hard you can hit; but how hard you can take the hit. And I am not telling you anything new. Every teacher says that to his student, every coach says that to his team and I am sure John has said this to you guys enough times already, just as a father says that to his son.

When they all say this, in their hearts they also wish and hope that their team does not get hit; it doesn't have to learn to win that way. A father feels, let my son win without ever getting hit; but you still say this to them because you know this world is a hard place. Games are a hard battlefield…your opponent wants to win as much as you do…so there is always going to be a chance that you will get hit. The best of us get hit…Mohammad Ali got hit…Carl Lewis got hit…John Buchanan must have been hit…Sourav Ganguly here has been hit several times.

So let's start from the fact that yes we have been hit already. So this is a good thing. A very good thing! We have been hit and hit hard, so the difficult part is over now. We all should accept that, we do lie at this point very nearly on the floor. So now comes the part, which is more important. The part that we need to show everyone around us, that we can take a hit; we can fall down; but we also know how to scrape ourselves from the floor and continue to fight. We still can take a few hits more and still fight back. Lots of people are saying lots of things about us, but none of them are right. The only right thing is that the owners have faith in this team, the coach has faith in this team; as a matter of fact the team has faith in this team. So there is no problem here at all. Just go out and play to have a great time…enjoy yourselves because pressure only builds more pressure. There is no need to prove anything amongst us. We all trust we are a great bunch of people and cricketers.

One lakh people out there have only one prayer in their hearts, god give our kids strength and a bit of luck to beat the shit out of their opponents. God will listen and deliver today, but just to make sure run faster, hit harder and go out destroy the opponent.

Lets play this like our first game ever as if we have to prove it to the world that we are good and can hit, then lets play this game like the last game of our lives, because we need to prove it to ourselves…that we can take being hit and get up from the floor.

I say a prayer my father taught me; whatever your faith, lets get together and say it… "Nasrun minal lahe wah fatahun kareeb …"
