Shahrukh khan to backup Always Kabhi Kabhi

Earlier we had it that Shah Rukh Khan has a production venture in his kitty. The movie is said to be titled ‘Always Kabhi Kabhi’ and will be a directorial debut of Roshan Abbas, who is an active theatre personality and radio guru.

‘Always Kabhi Kabhi’ will be a launch pad for four new faces and among them will be Zoa, daughter of Karim Morani. Zoa is said to have earlier assisted noted filmmakers Farah Khan and Rajkumar Santoshi and also had played a blink-and-miss role in ‘Om Shanti Om’. On the other hand the movie will be produced by SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Cineyug’s Morani brothers. While the other cast of the movie are still to be finalised, the likes of Archana Puran Singh and Satish Shah are said to be in this.

However the director rubbishes the rumours of the movie to be based on social networking sites. “The film is an adaptation of a play I had written and directed way back in 1999 called ‘Graffiti’ about life at high school. That play was set in ‘99 and this film is set in 2009 so it’s but obvious that I would be having some elements which the youth of today connect with one of them being social networking sites such as Facebook. However, beyond that there is no real connection. The film is set in a high school and will try to capture the various emotions such as love, jealousy, pride that one goes through during school days. I believe some of the best days of our life are the ones that we spend in high school and it is this period of one’s life that the film will portray,” stated Roshan.

The music of ‘Always Kabhi Kabhi’ will be handled by Pritam whereas the shooting will start next month.

Karan Johar debuts as designer

His glamorous collection targeted the young

As Bollywood star couple Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri sashayed down the ramp together for the grand finale of the HDIL India Couture Week, they stole hearts with their chemistry.

This was the first time the star couple walked together on the ramp for their friend and filmmaker Karan Johar who in collaboration with designer Varun Bahl presented his men's wear collection on Friday (Oct 16).

Apart from them, Bollywood's young brigade, Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, also strutted down the ramp.

Cheering for all of them were Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, Preity Zinta, Kajol, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, Yash Chopra, Jaya Bachchan, Anupam Kher and Uday Chopra.

"Oh, they looked wonderful together. It didn't look like Gauri was walking the ramp for the first time, as she was walking with confidence. It was a great show," Deepika told IANS.

Johar's collection was glamorous and targeted at today's young generation.

"The line is basically formal but has a rock star feel to it. But it is completely wearable," said Johar.

Black dominated the colour palette and the line had everything, from stylish shirts, sherwanis, coats to hot-pants, slim fit trousers and waistcoats.

The duo had also designed shoes and bags to go with the collection.

Is Aditya Chopra behind Rani’s TV debut?

Filmmaker shares good relationship with channel

Rani Mukerji was the last name announced by Sony TV to be the judge in the ongoing dance reality show, “Dance Premier League” (DPL).

Was it Aditya Chopra’s reference that got her the show?

Sony TV and Yash Raj Films (YRF) share a very good business relationship.

It seems that just two days before Sony made the announcement about Rani being part of the show, the channel signed an agreement with YRF for producing exclusive fiction and non-fiction content for the channel. So now, Aditya Chopra and his talented team at YRF will be working as producers to create exclusive content for Sony TV.

Incidentally the timing of both the agreements was quite interesting. YRF’s deal with Sony and Rani being part of DPL happened almost simultaneously.

We wonder whether Rani came as a packaged deal for Sony as part of the agreement with YRF?

Meanwhile, while shooting for the second episode of DPL, Rani communicated with one of the participants using sign language that she had learnt five years ago for her movie “Black”, in which she played a deaf and mute character.

One of the contestants on the show, Vishal, who was considered one of the best, was unfortunately deaf. After his performance, when it was the judges’ turn to comment, all of them spoke but Vishal could not understand a word.

That’s when Rani conversed with him in sign language and even congratulated him for being different. While everyone danced on the sound, Vishal had danced guided by his instincts and that’s what impressed Rani.

Karisma Kapoor is not a big fan of yoga

Pregnant actress prefers gym and walking

Her younger sister Kareena is known for her yoga obsession, but actress Karisma Kapoor, who is a mother of one and expecting a second, says she prefers the "gym and a walk" unlike her sibling.

"Kareena is the yoga endorser (of our family). She gets after us to do yoga. But I am not so much into yoga as she is. She has really taken to it and it's a great form of exercise but I prefer the gym," Karisma told IANS.

"I live a healthy lifestyle. I eat well, but I exercise and do everything in moderation. I go to the gym or for a walk and that's it for me," she added.

Asked about her comments on Kareena's much-hyped size-zero figure, the 35-year-old asserted: "I don't think there's any size zero. I genuinely feel that Kareena just lost all her baby fat. She made herself fit and got the cuts that her body has. She just worked at getting that and has been able to bring that out."

Case of fraud registered against Amitabh, Amar Singh

The two friends accused of Rs.500 crore scam

Amitabh Bachchan and Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh have been accused of involvement in a Rs.500 crore money laundering scam, according to a complaint lodged with Kanpur police.

Lodged by local businessman Shivkant Tripathi late on Thursday (Oct 15), the first information report has charged the two well-known faces, who are close friends, of being involved in a major fraud through money laundering.

"The complainant has accused Amar Singh of floating half a dozen companies in which 43 companies were amalgamated allegedly with the intent of siphoning off tonnes of black money," Uttar Pradesh's additional director general of police Brij Lal told reporters in Lucknow on Friday (Oct 16).

"Amitabh Bachchan figures among the key stake holders in most of the companies, while Amar Singh's wife Pankaja Singh is shown as a partner," he said.

According to Lal, "The companies, mostly registered in Kolkata, were identified as Eastern India Chemicals Pvt Ltd, Sarvottam Pvt Ltd, Pankaja Art and Credit Pvt Ltd, EDCL Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, EDCL Powers Ltd and Energy Development Company."

Cases were registered under the Money Laundering Act as well as Prevention of Corruption Act.

"The provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act could be invoked in view of Amar Singh's then appointment as chairman of the UP Development Council," the official said.

While complainant Tripathi could not be contacted, cops were not sure how they would proceed with the case.

"A case of fraud has been registered with the Babupurwa police station and only after preliminary investigations are done will we be in a position to affirmatively comment on the actual extent of the alleged fraud," he pointed out.

Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav termed the FIR filed against party general secretary Amar Singh and Amitabh Bachchan as a "conspiracy", and said he sensed that Chief Minister Mayawati had a "hand in it".

"Such a frivolous case against such prominent people could not have been lodged without the connivance of the government and I have reason to believe that the chief minister too has a hand in it," Mulayam told a press conference in Lucknow on Oct 16.

Terming the FIR registered under the provisions of the Money Laundering Act and the Prevention of Corruption Act, as a "conspiracy", he said: "There can be no doubt that the whole thing is politically motivated."

"Earlier also Mayawati has played dirty against persons associated with the Samajwadi Party, but eventually she failed in her design."

And virtually throwing the gauntlet at the Uttar Pradesh chief minister, the Samajwadi Party chief said: "I challenge these petty conspirators to try whatever they can, but they will not be able to cause the least harm to Amitabh Bachchan or to Amar Singh, whose stature is far too tall to get affected by such acts."

Mulayam Singh also sought to urge the prime minister to intervene and initiate "appropriate punitive action against all those responsible for hatching this conspiracy."

Recalling how the BSP leadership had earlier tried to hound him, he said: "Mayawati got as many as 149 cases lodged against me in one of her earlier stints as chief minister, but not one could pass the judicial scrutiny, which clearly reflects the political motivations behind such moves."

Meanwhile, sticking to his guns, Shivkant Tripathi, the man who filed the police complaint against Amar Singh and Amitabh Bachchan for allegedly laundering illegal money, ruled out any political hand behind the move.

"I am a social activist and chose to take up this issue because it involves a major fraud by people who are icons and political bigwigs," he told mediapersons in Lucknow.

He said: "If I have lodged the case, it was not without supporting evidence which runs into more than 1,700 pages of documents, that also depict the stakes Amitabh Bachchan has in the whole affair."

Maintaining that Amar Singh had juggled with balance sheets to siphon away lots of black money, Tripathi said: "If Amar Singh's political mentors were so confident that no fraud had been committed, then why were they so opposed to an open investigation?"

Movie Review : All the Best 2009 Hindi Movie

Sometimes, we laugh at movies. At times, we laugh in movies. Thankfully, ALL THE BEST, helmed by Rohit Shetty, belongs to the latter type.

ALL THE BEST makes no claims of catering to the intelligentsia or the elite. Instead, it's aimed at those who want to spend two hours of their precious life flexing their facial muscles. ALL THE BEST is for those who expect fun and laughter unlimited in those two hours. This one makes you smile, laugh, even break into a guffaw at times.

The jokes and the goings-on may appear silly, but who cares! As long as one feels positive and wears a smile on the face even after the show has ended, nothing else matters.

Comedy is serious business and Rohit Shetty is a pro at this genre now. This time, the talented director seeks inspiration from RIGHT BED, WRONG HUSBAND and what works to the advantage are two factors - the written material and the right casting. Both are just right!

From time to time, it has been noticed that some films are made with the motive of keeping you entertained. ALL THE BEST is one of those films. Go, have a blast this Diwali!

Veer [Fardeen Khan], a singer by profession, is greedy of extracting extra pocket money from his brother Dharam [Sanjay Dutt], a business-honcho. Veer lies to Dharam that he has got married and his friend Prem [Ajay Devgn], a concept car expert, lends a helping hand in cooking up this alibi.

Veer is in love with Vidya [Mugdha Godse], but has qualified in the hate list of her father. Prem is happily married to Jhanvi [Bipasha Basu], who takes care of his ancestor's outdated gymnasium. Veer and Prem land up in debts as they had opted for a short-cut to earn easy money.

The two get into a bigger soup when Dharam pays a sudden visit to their place. Time does not give a chance and unavoidable circumstances arouse such situations that Prem's wife Jhanvi is mistaken for Veer's and Veer's girlfriend for Prem's.

Like his previous films, director Rohit Shetty rests the story on multiple characters, with a dozen odd actors in supporting roles. With so many characters in the film, it generally tends to get confusing, but ALL THE BEST has an easy-to-comprehend story and a trouble-free and uncomplicated screenplay [Robin Bhatt and Yunus Sajawal].

Ten minutes into the film and you know that ALL THE BEST is all about mistaken identities. But the proceedings actually take off when Sanju enters the scene. That's when you get drawn into this madcap world completely.

A number of sequences are howlarious. Note Johny Lever's intro. Ditto for Sanjay Mishra's track. Also, when Johny Lever regains his voice - towards the climax - it's sooooo funny. On the flip side, the pace drops in the middle of the second hour. Also Pritam's musical score is uninspiring and the songs act as speed breakers.

Rohit Shetty is in top form and his team of writers, Robin and Yunus, contribute enormously in making this film watchable. Dudley's cinematography is perfect. Farhad - Sajid and Bunty Rathore's dialogue are very much in sync with the mood of the film. In fact, a few one-liners are extremely witty.

Sanju portrays his part well. His sequences with Ajay are truly fantastic. But the show-stopper is undoubtedly Ajay, whose comic timing is only getting better. He plays to the gallery completely and delivers a sparkling performance. Fardeen needs to loosen up, though he makes a sincere attempt. Bipasha is sweet, while Mugdha doesn't get much scope. Amongst supporting actors, Johny Lever and Sanjay Mishra are in terrific form. Mukesh Tiwari, Vijay Patkar, Ashwini Kalsekar and Atul Parchure lend credible report.

On the whole, ALL THE BEST is fun and laughter unlimited. At the box-office, the festive period coupled with the solid track record of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty and also the strong merits will ensure ample footfalls at cineplexes, making its investors laugh all the way to the bank. Recommended!

Movie Review : Blue 2009

BLUE, the most awaited movie of the year, with its canvas as huge as the ocean, comes live on the Hindi screen this Friday. Like every biggie, this one also comes with the baggage of monumental expectations. With tremendous hype surrounding it, the inescapable question that crosses your mind is, will BLUE live up to those colossal expectations?

Let me keep it concise and to the point. You haven't watched something like this on the Hindi screen before. Never ever!

It requires courage, willpower, fortitude, vision and of course, the financial backing to accomplish a project of this magnitude. And debutante director Anthony D'Souza puts his skills and the financial resources to best use. BLUE is not merely a stunning looking film, it's also a well structured film. Most importantly, it's a solid entertainer that packs in so much in those 1.58 hours.





just excerpts from taran adarsh's blue review - read it completely there... We have provided you with what its exactly is here... plus a few wallpapers to entertain you at the edge.

Lara Dutta has never looked so good before. Though the story revolves around the guys, you can't overlook Lara's small but significant contribution to the film. Katrina Kaif [sp. app.] looks gorgeous and performs exceedingly well. The feminine charm [at the start specifically] would send the youth in a frenzy. Rahul Dev is first-rate. Kabir Bedi is hardly there.

On the whole, BLUE has style as well as substance. The film has everything going in its favour, right from its incredible star cast to the superb action scenes to the hitherto unseen marine life to the tremendous hype and hoopla. At the box-office, BLUE will strike like a hurricane in the festive week. It should set new benchmarks in days to come. In short, the business will be humungous.

If you want to check out - here is the Blue Movie 2009 Official Website - kinds foxy but slow loading.

I will sure go with my friends to watch this but after the festive weekend. Good Luck and Happy Diwali to all our readers and their families !

Amitabh gets 1,207 SMSes on birthday

He thanks fans who waited outside his residence

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan received 1,207 SMSes on his 67th birthday from fans, family and relatives. He says that the deluge of messages jammed his cellphone.

"I feel blessed to have so much love and affection from others. It is the greatest debt that I shall carry to my grave and one that I shall never be able to pay back... Family and friends called me and 1207 SMSes jammed the mobile," Amitabh posted on his blog on Sunday (Oct 11) night.

Big B, as he is fondly called, also had hordes of fans waiting outside his residence to greet him on the occasion.

"It was rough from the early hours of the morning - meeting and receiving the love and affection of the hundreds that were at the gates. Moving out and driving in to our own houses was a mini riot. But the faces that slammed against the walls of the car (windows) were happy ones, excited ones and ones that merely wanted to express love," he posted.

Amitabh also apologised to those "who came with wishes; that came with a desire to meet and greet, that had through great pain and perseverance kept vigil and then lost out on an opportunity to wish me."

"To the hundreds that thronged the three locations Prateeksha, Jalsa and Janak and bore the pushing and shoving of the police and the security, to them I give my gratitude and thanks for taking the trouble to show their affection and love," he added.

Bollywood stars relentlessly clapped for her

The moment she stepped on the ramp, the main show area was filled with cheers as the audience couldn't stop looking at Bollywood actress Sridevi.

She looked stunning in a black gown (pictured left) as she walked the ramp for jewellery designer Queenie Dhody at the inaugural jewellery show of HDIL India Couture Week in Mumbai late Monday (Oct 12).

"She is looking so stunning. Just look at her, she is so beautiful," said a mesmerised member of the audience.

As soon as she started walking the ramp, someone from the audience shouted: "Come on Sridevi, you are the best."

It was not just the audience, even Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan, Dimple Kapadia, Twinkle Khanna, Sanjay Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Dia Mirza, Zayed Khan, Karan Johar and her husband Boney Kapoor clapped relentlessly till she left the ramp.

"She looked like a diva. Just look at her, it seems that she is getting younger day by day. The way she has maintained herself is amazing," Raveena Tandon told IANS after the show.

This is the first time that HDIL-ICW had a high-end jewellery show that featured four jewellery designers - Devaunshi Mehta, Farah Khan, Queenie Dhody and Maheep Kapoor - who came out with their dazzling collections.

Talking about her jewellery line Dhody said that high-end jewellery had become very popular among people.

"People now want to own a piece of jewellery that is exclusive. This exquisite line of hand-made jewellery has both precious and semi-precious stones with fine craftsmanship that makes it very exclusive and everyone should at least own one piece," she said.

Aamir and Shah Rukh were the first choice for ‘London Dreams’

Mumbai: Remember the last time Aamir and Shah Rukh shared screen space? No need to strain your mind if you don’t, as the entire team of ‘3 Idiots’ was left dumbfounded when Aamir asked them the same. Not many know but the two actors had come together for brief moment in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s ‘Pehla Nasha’ in 1993 for one historical shot.

And if Raj Kumar Santoshi had his way, he would have achieved the impossible with ‘London Dreams’ that he had initially planned with the ace Khans.

According to the latest buzz, Santoshi had designed the film keeping Shah Rukh and Aamir in mind. And the talented filmmaker had even got Bollywood`s two most magnetic stars together for a joint narration for three nights.

Confirming the news, a source told a news daily, “In principle both actors loved the script, said they wanted to go home and sleep over it before they started principal photography. But for months on end, Raj Santoshi chased both actors independently and neither of them reverted.’’

Not left with any choice, Santoshi’s ‘London Dreams’ was then made into a Vipul Shah franchise with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn taking the lead.

As for the last time the two Khans came together was in Gowarikar’s film. And this piece of information was shared by Aamir himself. It so happened that Aamir asked his ‘3 Idiots’ co-star to guess as to when was the last time he was in the same frame as SRK?

With no one able to guess, Aamir said, “You guys have missed a moment in film history. Shah Rukh and I were together in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s ‘Pehla Nasha’ way back in 1993 where we gave one shot in the same frame.’’

Amitabh Bachchan will be celebrating his 68th birthday on 11th October - Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to Amitabh Bacchan.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to the megastar of bollywood films Amitabh Bacchan. He had been the most popular actor of the entire millennium.

In the 70s his films like Zanjeer, Sholay, Deewar created a new age of action films. His angry young man image created a revolution during an age when corruption became rampant in India. If Zanjeer was related to the obstacles faced by an honest police officer to safely perform his duties, Deewar was based on the contradiction of two brothers of whom one was a police officer, while the other was compelled to be a smuggler due to social compulsions. Sholay was based on the story of domination of the Chambal region of India by dacoits. The Thakur (played by Sanjeev Kumar) of the village employed two brave criminals namely Big B and Dharmender to face the dacoits.

Big B was a very powerful actor and became the choice of all the leading directors of the 70s and 80s. His films included Abhimaan directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Sholay directed by Ramesh Sippy, Zanjeer directed by Prakash Mehra, Deewar directed by Yash Chopra, Barsaat Ki Ek Raat directed by Shakti Samanta, to name a few. The other factor which singled out Big B with the other actors in terms of his versatility was his baritone voice which he modulated to perfection.

His comedy films like Namakhalal, Chupke Chupke, Amar Akbar Anthony, created new dimensions in Indian film history. His notable films during the 80s included Shakti, Akhree Rasta, Inquilab, etc. Even in the 90s his films like Akela and Indrajeet carried his strong personality forward.

Big B had played a huge innings as a character actor and his films like Black, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, etc., showed the viewers, that after Dilip Kumar and Sanjeev Kumar, Big B was an actor with whom the directors could do any experiment. His performance in his son Abhishek Bacchan’s films like Bunty Aur Babli had also been notable. The viewers expect him to continue the great work that he started 40 years back.

And now Amitabh Bachchan will be celebrating his 68th birthday on 11th October. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to wish him on his birthday. Write it in comment section.

Vidya Balan smooches Arshan Warsi

Bollywood Gossip : Bollywood Actress Vidya Balan is back in a de-glam role with Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’. Going by the trailers, she is playing a simple village belle but has tried some ‘bold’ scenes too. She is featured to be doing steamy scenes with Arshad Warsi and also rumoured to play darker shades. Her ‘desi-giri’ includes swearing in pure Hindi, conning Arshad and Naseeruddin Shah by batting those pretty eye lashes like a true ‘gaon ki gori’ and then even not minding rendering a hot smooch onscreen!

Vidya’s kissing spree continues after the Bollywood Movie ‘Guru’. She had no qualms locking lips with R Madhavan in the film. Recently, she did a very long and intimate scene with Arshad Warsi and kissed him very comfortably in ‘Ishqiya’. The scene in question has a hot kiss, and is very essential to set the tempo. “Why wouldn’t I do that scene when the bound script which was given to me before the film went on the floors? I had no issues doing the kissing scene,” Vidya Balan said.

Though there are stories that Arshad doesn’t get along with costars, it’s certainly not true when it comes to his ‘Ishqiya’ costar Vidya Balan. Arshad Warsi tells us that he fondly calls Vidya Balan Giggles. “There’s a story behind this name. Vidya laughs a lot and can’t control herself. She just goes on laughing like crazy. She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke. Sometimes she used to start laughing in the middle of the shot and then Naseeruddin Shah and I used to wait till she finished her riot,” revealed Arshad Warsi in an exclusive Bollywood Interview.

This Diwali 2009, all the bets are on “Blue” movie

Multiplexes are looking to find their pot of gold this Diwali with the Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt starrer “Blue” which is itself about a treasure hunt. Other films competing for their place in the viewers mindspace are “Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna” and “All The Best”.

“Diwali is mostly for big-budget movies with huge star casts and that is what actually brings in footfalls. Considering the buzz around ‘Blue’, we are trying to keep the maximum number of shows for it – 16 per day. We have opened advance bookings on Thursday for the film,” Amit Awasthi, manager (programming and operations) of Spice Cinemas at Noida, told IANS.

Tusshar Dhingra, COO of Big Cinemas said: “Diwali is a big movie season. Even the audiences expect big releases during this time and are very liberal when it comes to spending during Diwali. We have opened the advance bookings for ‘Blue’ as of now and will open it for the other two also in a day or two.”

Anthony D’Souza’s directorial debut “Blue” is not only the country’s first underwater film but the most expensive too. According to an industry source, producer Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd has splurged Rs.80 crore on its making.

It also stars Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan and Katrina Kaif along with Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue in a cameo.

“We are expecting the movie (’Blue’) to stay at number one on the festive weekend with a terrific initial. While ‘Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna’ and ‘All The Best’ will be at the second and the third spot respectively as per our calculations. We are keeping around 13 shows per day for the other two,” said Amit Awasthi.

Added a source from PVR Cinemas: “It is being distributed by PVR Pictures in North India and we opened the advance bookings for the film from Oct 4 onwards on the Internet and the response so far has been very encouraging.”

“Main Aurr Mrs.Khanna” is a co-production of Sohail Khan Productions and Ronnie Screwvala and is being distributed by UTV Motion Pictures. Made at a budget of around Rs.40 Crore (Rs.400 million), it is releasing with around 1,200 prints worldwide.

Starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead, this romantic drama is also made by a first time director, Prem Soni.

Director Rohit Shetty’s “All The Best – Fun Begins”, on the other hand, is a comedy starring Ajay Devgan, Bipasha Basu, Fardeen Khan, and Mugdha Godse. Made at a budget of Rs.40 crore, the film is produced by Ajay.

“We are also going to open advance bookings for all three Oct 9 onwards. Considering the audience queries and the hype, ‘Blue’ is going to take a very good advance booking as well as initial. We haven’t received the censors (censored prints) yet but as soon as we do, we will try to keep a mix bag of all the three as far as shows are concerned though ‘Blue’ will be on the maximum scale,” said Amit Shah, chief manager (programming) of DLF DT cinemas.

Despite an unprecedented buzz for “Blue” and the same day of release as his film, director Soni is unperturbed at the competition.

“I have no apprehensions. It takes a lot of energy for every filmmaker to make a movie. So there are no hard feelings for anyone. May the best win because they are all of different genres and have their own set of audiences,” he had told IANS.

Salman, Kareena romance on 125th floor of a hotel!

Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor romanced on the 125th floor of a hotel in Melbourne for their forthcoming romantic movie “Main Aurr Mrs Khanna”.

“Usually the Australian government doesn’t allow such film shootings to take place in the Realto hotel, that too on the 125th floor. But when they found out that it was none other than Salman and Kareena who were going to shoot there, they readily agreed,” said a source.

“The view from the 125th floor was breathtaking and overlooked nearly the whole of Melbourne. Most of the romantic scenes between Salman and Kareena have been shot here since the location was important to the scene,” added the source.

Releasing Oct 16, “Main Aurr Mrs Khanna” is directed by first-time director Prem Soni.

I didn’t refuse Farah Khan’s offer: Asin

Southern beauty Asin Thottumkal has slammed rumours suggesting that she refused a role in Farah Khan’s next directorial venture “Happy New Year” saying she can never say no to the choreographer-turned-director.

“I am extremely upset with this rumour that has obviously been floated by vested interests. I don’t understand how such rumours crop up.

“Farah Khan is a close friend of mine there is no way I can refuse her. There was never any discussion over the movie. This news is utter rubbish,” Asin clarified in a statement.

Farah, who has earlier made blockbuster films like “Main Hoon Na” and “Om Shanti Om”, supported Asin and said: “The rumour is a complete fabrication. I have not even written the script as yet.”

Asin will next be seen in her forthcoming release Vipul Shah’s “London Dreams”, also starring Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan.

Preity Zinta not an ‘item girl’ in my film: Director

She is making a special appearance in a song in his directorial debut “Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna”, but filmmaker Prem R. Soni says it will be “derogatory to call Preity Zinta an item girl”.

“I have nothing against item girls or item songs. After all, they have time and again managed to spice up the proceedings in so many films. However, in the context of ‘Main Aurr Mrs Khanna’, it would be really derogatory to call Preity Zinta an item girl,” Soni told IANS.

The actress features in the song, “Happening”.

The 34-year-old director always wanted Preity in his first film even though he got a dream pair in Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor.

“While I had signed other actors for the film, I always wanted Preity to be a part of it. Actually, I didn’t even think about any other options and was dead sure that Preity had to be cast. I told her the same and was adamant that she had to be in it,” said Soni.

Preeti plays Haseen Jagmagiya in the film and, thankfully for Soni, she said ‘yes’ without much ado.

“Of course, she did have her initial reservations since she hadn’t played a part like this before. But then she also said, ‘What the heck, let me do it’. She laughed and agreed to be there.

“Believe me, my day was made. I had got all the actors whom I wanted for the film and was raring to bring the film on the floors,” he said.

Preity’s presence enhances the entertainment quotient of the film, says Soni.

“But then she is not randomly walking in and walking out of the frames. As Haseena Jagmagiya, she is quite funny and comes at the point in the film when Salman and Kareena are on the verge of making or breaking their relationship as a married couple.”

How about the other angle in the film, Sohail Khan? Does he bring in an extramarital angle?

“Oh, this question has been asked so many times and I am glad that good curiosity is being built around the film, courtesy a smart promotional campaign. However, let me tell you that the film doesn’t have an extramarital relationship or cheating angle.

“It just tells the story from the point of view of an outsider. Sohail is someone who looks at Mrs. Khanna (Kareena) and sees the kind of issues that she is facing.

“In fact, whether it is Sohail or even Salman for that matter, both of them have an element of ‘main’ in them. They see Mrs. Khanna in different ways and this is what forms the crux of the film,” said the director for whom 16 is a lucky number.

Soni has been dreaming of making a film for the past 16 years now.

“Call it destiny, luck, fortune or sheer coincidence, but now my film is releasing on Oct 16. There is someone up in the sky who is certainly smiling at me. He wanted that the number 16 sticks with me. God has himself written ‘Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna’ for me,” exclaims the filmmaker.

Also starring Yash Tonk in an important role, the film is a co-production of Ronnie Screwala and Sohail. It is releasing on the same day as “Blue” and “All The Best”.

Rakhi Sawant’s mom Jaya evicted from “Bigg Boss”

New Delhi, Item girl Rakhi Sawant’s mother Jaya Friday became the first to be evicted from the “Bigg Boss” house. And her exit from the reality show was as dramatic as her entry.

When Jaya’s name was announced as the evicted participant of this week, she shed silent tears and seemed extremely disappointed. She nevertheless hugged some of the contestants and even blessed comedian Raju Srivastav when he touched her feet.

Jaya had shocked all and sundry when she was welcomed by host, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, as one of the 13 contestants of the show Sunday.

Apart from being the most unexpected participant, she also revealed her motive of going into the show – making peace with her daughter Rakhi. But alas, she didn’t get much time in the “Bigg Boss” house.

Her age and non-celebrity background became a major drawback for her in the five days that she was on the show. While she was the oldest participant, Jaya was also laughed at for her lifestyle and her failed attempts at singing and dancing.

On more than one occasion, she was also seen praying to Jesus to help her get Rakhi back. But none of it convinced her co-participants Shamita Shetty, Vindu Dara Singh, Raju Srivastav, Tanaaz Currim, Claudia Ciesla, Aditi Gowitrikar, Bhaktiyaar Irani and Rohit Verma from nominating her for eviction.

They felt she was “out of place”, “less lively” and “uncomfortable” in the presence of a much younger crowd.

The final decision, however, depended on viewer’s votes.

Before leaving, Jaya was asked to nominate one person who she felt spent most of the time in dressing up each day. And she chose fashion designer Rohit Verma. As a result, he will now have to dress up simply for the next week.

“Bigg Boss 3″, the third season of the Indian version of popular international show “Big Brother”, has various celebrity participants locked inside a specially designed house for 84 days. They give up a life of luxury to be under 24X7 camera surveillance for the show.

Amrita Rao will don bikini after permission from papa

It’s not easy for an actor to break away from the onscreen image cemented in the minds of viewers. Amrita Rao, who’s done the salwar-kameez clad, girl-next-door roles by dozen, has been trying to be the new hot chick on the B-block for quite some time.

Her slipping into swimsuits for Shortkut did not prevent the film from biting the box office dust, but it did bring forth a new, naughty side of Amrita, the girl who was willing to bare her skin on camera.

Now, the lissome belle looks uber cool dressed in an eye-pleasing white on the cover of the October edition of Maxim magazine.

Inside the mag, Amrita gets candid about various topics including wearing a bikini.

“My dad used to tell me that a woman should wear a bikini the day she has a body to flaunt it. So I'm guessing the day my dad gives me the green signal, I will,” Amrita said.

To our surprise, the otherwise coy and reserved actress seemed pretty clear about the reason for donning the bikini.

“A bikini is just a two-piece suit that one wears to the beach. It's not a bait to get more publicity and fans,” the 28-year-old actress asserted.

Right! Try telling that to the likes of Sherlyn Chopra.

Shiney Ahuja offers prayers at Siddhivinayak temple

Ahead of his trial in a rape case, actor Shiney Ahuja offered prayers early today at the Siddhivinayak temple after arriving from New Delhi.

The 36-year-old actor drove straight from the airport to the temple, a little past midnight. He was accompanied by his wife Anupam and filmmaker Ashok Pandit.

Ahuja, accused of raping his domestic servant, was granted bail on Saturday. He flew to Delhi in keeping with the court order which has asked him to stay outside Mumbai till the trial begins.

The Bombay High Court had yesterday stayed his trial for a week as the prosecution sought time to reply to the actor's petition seeking medical and forensic reports.

Ahuja's lawyers have claimed that his DNA doesn't match with that of the victim. Ahuja will appear before the trial court today.

SID WAKES UP the box office!

Bollywood Trade News Network:

WAKE UP SID, produced by Dharma Productions and distributed worldwide by UTV Motion Pictures, has grossed over Rs. 21.5 cr at the worldwide box office in the first weekend of its release.

In just 3 days, the gross box office collections of the film in India have crossed Rs. 17 cr on 420 screens. Overseas, WAKE UP SID witnessed an astounding opening weekend collection of more than Rs. 4 cr, on less than 200 screens. It has opened very well across the key overseas markets of the US, UK, Gulf and Australia. In UK specifically, considering that it is a traditional market that favours conventional Bollywood romances, the movie has done excellent business of USD 165,934, while in the US, the collections stand at USD 355,532. In the Gulf, the per print average of USD 9,575, is a whopping number.

Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO, UTV Motion Pictures - ''WAKE UP SID is a movie that has cut across generations, and has surpassed all our expectations with the sort of business and critical acclaim it has notched up globally. For a primarily urban centric, coming of age romantic drama, its extraordinary box office performance reflects that themes and subjects which were considered 'niche' in the past have now completely broken into mainstream cinema - not just in India, but also in traditional markets, like the UK. The excellent word of mouth the film has generated will ensure a long and successful run.''

WAKE UP SID is the story of a quintessential Mumbai rich kid who is wealthy, lazy, and completely lacking in focus. An unexpected meeting with a girl from Calcutta; a driven, bold, and ambitious writer who has moved to the city to realize her dreams, results in a summer of discoveries, realizations, and a 'coming of age' for Sid.
