Malaika Arora Khan In her first full length role



Malaika Arora Khan

Malaika Arora Khan is set to sizzle on-screen again, but this time not in an item number but a full-fledged role and that too with her husband Arbaaz Khan. Produced by Ashok Kheny and directed by famous south director Indrajith, the film is tentatively tilted ‘Shaadi Ke After Effects’ and will also star Johnny Lever, Tara Sharma and Madhuri Bhattacharya.

Ashok Kheny claims that the basic theme of the film is marriage and infidelity.

“It’s a common occurrence that many married couples are attracted to their neighbour’s spouse after a period of time. After some years of marriage, they start thinking that the neighbour’s wife is more beautiful than their own and start neglecting their own. But here, the woman decides to teach her erring husband a lesson,” the newly turned producer adds.

Indrajith, meanwhile, is confident that the film will do well on the basis of the script and style. “It is a full length comedy film high on entertainment,” he says. “This film exploits Arbaaz Khan’s potential and after seeing him in this film, I’m confident that he will be in demand.

Sizzling Gauri Khan is Vogue’s cover girl



Gauri Khan

While hubby superstar Shah Rukh Khan is breaking box office records, wife Gauri Khan is too breaking new ground.

Stepping into the domain of the super models, Gauri features as the cover girl of Vogue’s next Indian edition.

According to a report the pictures were shot against the background of Mannat, the Khan family mansion.

Priya Tanna, editor Vogue India, describes Gauri as “as a ‘true Voguette’, who offers delightful peeks into her life, her wardrobe and her man,” said the report.

“It is her first solo cover and a coup of sorts for Vogue. That she is stylish, enigmatic and poised is known, but at the shoot we saw another side of her, that of a cover girl. Even in the frames she shares with Shah Rukh, she holds her own impressively,” Tanna said.

Gauri is quoted as saying she “hates tight and revealing clothes”, but that does not stop her from appearing on the cover in a red strapless low-cut dress, which ends about a foot above her knees.

John Abraham opposite Rachel Weisz in Deepa Mehta film



Deepa Mehta was all praise about John Abraham and his performance in ‘Water’, but we never really thought that she would be the one who would give him an international platform. Right now John is in her two ambitious international projects. One of which is with Amitab Bachchan and another film ‘Luna’ starring Rachel Weisz.

Rachel Weisz

Rachel Weisz is popular Hollywood actress with films like The Mummy, Constantine and Constant Gardner to her credit. She won the 2006 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Constant Gardner. The film is scripted by two time Oscar winner David Ward.

johnabraham

John’s film ‘Exclusion’ with Amitab will be shot later this year. Deepa Mehta announced ‘Luna’ in Cannes. Although Rachel Weisz would be the main protagonist, playing the title character Luna, John will also have a full-fledged role, says Deepa Mehta.

‘Luna’ is based on a real life story of an American activist and environmentalist Julia Butterfly Hill, who protested against the felling of trees in the Red Wood forests in the US by climbing a 180-foot Redwood tree. The lady climbed down only 738 days later- from 1997 to 1999. The tree was named Luna. The protest had a huge impact and a resolution was formed in 1999 to protect all trees in the 3-acre buffer zone of the Redwood forest.

John is also playing an environmentalist in ‘Luna’, but his cultural origin is not specified He is neither an Indian, nor an American in the film. This makes him Bollywood’s first actor to do a Hollywood film without playing an NRI or some snake charmer.

John was not only her choice says Deepa, “The true-life inspiration for the film, Julia Hill, just loved John. Her approval was very important. She thought he looked like Antonio Banderas!”


Shahid and Kareena together in ''Milenge Milenge''.



Shahid and Kareena

Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor may not be an item any longer but next Valentine's Day (Feb 14) they're Milenge Milenge.

That's the title of their long-delayed romance directed by Satish Kaushik, which producer Boney Kapoor has decided to release on the day. Somewhat ironical considering Shahid and Kareena have gone their separate ways!

'So be it. Perhaps it was destined that the most romantic film featuring Shahid and Kareena would come only after their relationship is over,' Boney told IANS.
Shahid and Kareena
Thanks to the surprise success of Jab We Met, the long-dormant Shahid-Kareena starrer is being brought alive even as rumours surface that the lead pair is not interested in dubbing for the film.

'They haven't given me any indication that they've any problem with dubbing for the film,' says Boney,

Boney has even got the film pass the censor board. 'We've got the scratch-print censored. And all we need now is for Shahid and Kareena to dub.'

Director Satish Kaushik too is gung-ho about the release. 'Milenge Milenge is not at all dated. And why should Shahid and Kareena have any problems dubbing it?'

'In fact Shahid lives in my building. I've asked him about the dubbing and he's fine by it. And Kareena I've known since she came into the industry. I gave her first big hit Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai. Unlike that film, Milenge Milenge isn't a southern remake. I've entered a new phase of making films based on original scripts. My next release Tere Sang, about teen pregnancy, is also an original,' says Satish.

Satish was planning to release his film Tere Sang on Valentine's Day. 'But now that 'Milenge Milenge' is being planned for the same date I'll obviously hold back Tere Sang.'

The only person from the team who won't be part of the revived Milenge Milenge is Himesh Reshammiya.

Says Boney, 'Himesh has done the songs. Now we have got late Salil Chowdhary's son Sanjay to do the background score. The promos are also ready. It's a very young and fresh film. We're now looking at a Valentine's release Feb 14.'


Ranbir Kapoor to Make three different looks in his next Upcoming



Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir Kapoor has to get into three different looks for his next film for Yashraj films to be directed by Siddharth Anand. In the film, Ranbir has to play three phases of his character’s love life from age 17 to age 28 and finally to age 38.

To get an older look, Ranbir cut his tresses by Aalim to an austere executive styled haircut. Ranbir also plans to sport stubble to look 35. Bipasha Basu is one of the leads opposite Ranbir and the duo actually took a day off for photo-session to check out their on-screen compatibility.

For the younger role of the hero at the age of 17 Ranbir intends to sport long hair and a beatnik cool-dude attitude,with clothes and accessories to match.

Says Ranbir, “I’ve to look compatible with my leading ladies, and yes, this is my first of the three looks for my new film. Working with Siddarth is a very give-and-take thing. We’ve been friends from the time both of us were kids.

The film actually goes on the floors on 24 November, but the test shoots are on.


Deepika Padukone - I'm not engaged to Yuvraj



Deepika Padukone

Bollywood Gossip - First, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and now his teammate Yuvraj Singh. Budding actress Deepika Padukone is quite fed up and says reports about her engagement with Yuvraj Singh are not true at all.

'Please...this is the strangest thing I have heard, so far,' said a visibly disturbed Deepika.

The actress was Thursday evening declared the new brand ambassador of Swiss watch brand Tissot.

Asked how endorsements work for actors, she said: 'It works both ways. I mean celebrities connect the brand to the audience and the label connects them to the viewers, making them more popular.'

Deepika, who is the daughter of former world badminton champion Prakash Padukone, said sports works to de-stress her: 'I am very closely associated with sports. I have played games like badminton, basketball, tennis, throwball and baseball.'

'My favourite sport is swimming however, any type of sport de-stresses me. It takes my mind off work and makes me feel relaxed,' Padukone told IANS.

The newcomer struck fame with her debut film Om Shanti Om opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

However, she denies being bogged down by any kind of pressure of meeting expectations while picking up projects or in her upcoming movies.

'No there is no such pressure on me! Dad taught me to enjoy my work and till the time I do so I will face the camera merrily.

'I always wanted to do an action flick and I am luckily doing Made In China. Nikhil Advani is directing the film and I will share screen space with Akshay Kumar.'

Apart from Deepika, viewers will soon see Priyanka Chopra doing heavy-duty action in Love Story 2050 and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan swinging the sword in Jodhaa-Akbar.

Commenting on the trend of more heroines taking up action roles she said: 'This itself shows that with the evolution of the Hindi film industry women are getting to do more in films.'

Deepika also has Siddharth Anand's next in her kitty where she is paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

Mallika Sherawat Vs Malaika Arora Khan



Mallika Sherawat

Mallika Sherawat, who features in the upcoming Welcome, has an item number in the film. So, why does she feel threatened by Malaika Arora Khan?

Fills in a source, “Mallika has been growling over Malaika’s item with Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar. She’s furious that the director has used another item girl despite her presence. In fact, Malaika doesn’t even have much of a role. Mallika believes she is a major star. She probably wants to ensure that her role doesn’t lose impact.”

Mallika Arora - Item GirlSo, can it be assumed that the two women are at war?

“First tell me who’s Mallika Sherawat to decide which song to retain and which to delete!” fumes the film’s director Anees Bazmee. Malaika Arora Khan

A moment’s pause and he adds, “Mallika hasn’t told me directly that she has a problem with Malaika. In fact, before Mallika was signed, she had told me that she’s working in the film only because I’m the director.”

Earlier, it had been reported that Sherawat was throwing tantrums during the dubbing of Welcome. She’d constantly chat on the phone, much to the annoyance of the technicians in charge of the dubbing work.


Kim Sharma suffers a sun stroke



Kim Sharma

Recently, Kim Sharma was in Mauritius shooting for Ganesh Acharya’s ‘Money Hai To Honey Hai’. However, during her shoot on the beach with co-star Aftab Shivdasani she had a major sunstroke and collapsed on the sets. Acharya Immediately called for a doctor and she was given medication.

Relates Kim, “We were constantly shooting in the sun for a few days. The sun was so harsh on the open beach that I finally could not take it anymore and I just collapsed. I was badly sunburnt as well. A doctor was immediately summoned and I was made to rest. Thankfully, the unit took good care of me, especially since we were shooting in a foreign country.”

Nonetheless, after reaching Mumbai the actress performed at the Navy Ball in that condition as she had already committed for it and she felt it would be very unprofessional to back out at the last minute. Good going, Kim!


Original Face of Rani Mukerji



Rani Mukerji

Well, this is how Rani looks without make-up.

All these looks are thanks to the L’Oreal effect. Rani is said to have a soul touching smile though and most of them agree on this point.

Why do actors take so much of pain to look good, Why cant they be just as they are ?

It is because it is human tendency to get attracted to something attractive. That’s why our actors take so much of pain and go under the surgical knife a million times.

It is to gain public approval.

But is this pain worth it?

Beauty fades away and this phase in their lives to passes away too.

Well this concept depends on each one’s perspective.It is individual choice. After all it is their body.

Sameera Reddy See's Difficulties



Sameera Reddy
Sameera Reddy is extremely miffed with Abbas Mustan, the director of her upcoming film Race. We hear that she was treated badly throughout the shooting of the film. Frustrated with the state of affairs, she went and spoke to producer Ramesh Taurani, who promised to take care of things.

However, there was no noticeable improvement on the sets. Our source from the unit of Race tells us, “The makers of Race were more attentive towards Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif while Sameera was side-lined. No wonder she reacted the way she did.”

So, what kind of preferential treatment was given to Bips and Kat? Our source says, “To begin with, Sameera was promised a longer role. However, later she found out that Bipasha and Katrina had a better role than her while she was sandwiched between the two in some combination scenes. The focus was entirely on Bipasha and Katrina.”

“Worse still, Sameera’s name was not included in the media-meet held at Delhi recently. The press was informed that every actor from Race will interact with the media but Sameera was completely excluded. Sameera, who had worked very hard for the project could not take it any longer,” our source adds.

Sameera remained unavailable for comment. When contacted, producer Ramesh Taurani says, “Sameera was well aware of her role. We did not force her to take it on. It was her choice.”

When asked whether her role was indeed very short, Taurani said, “How does the length of a role matter? Every role has its own value.”
