Only Anil was convinced that I can do comedy: Kangana

After a string of films where she portrayed a troubled woman, Kangana Ranaut is all set to change audience perception about her with a comedy film “No Problem” and she thanks Anil Kapoor, who is producing the comedy, for giving her the opportunity.

“I had decided whenever I do my first comedy it would have to be either with Anees Bazmee or David Dhawan. Everyone thought I was wrong for the part in ‘No Problem’. No one was convinced I could do comedy, not after playing all those traumatised roles. But Anilji convinced everyone that I could,” Kangana told IANS.

The film is being directed by Anees Bazmee and also stars Sushmita Sen.

“So far I’ve never had fun on the sets. All the characters I’ve played have been introverted and troubled. So I’ve been in my shell. During ‘Fashion’ Madhur Bhandarkar used to scold me for being in a shell all the time. But if I play insecure, paranoid characters, I can’t be laughing and playing around. But it was the nature of the characters.

“For Anees Bazmi’s film I’m changing completely. I’m going to organise parties on the sets, constantly crack Santa-Banta jokes and, most important of all, I will bond with Sushmita (Sen). Hopefully our bonding will last beyond one film,” she said.

After signing a film together, Sushmita has taken the lovely Kangana under her wings. Always known to be warm towards her co-stars, Sushmita has taken a special fancy to Kangana because of her facial resemblance to Sushmita’s daughter Renee.

“On the first day that we met, we struck a special chord in each other’s hearts. I was standing at a premiere and she came up to me. She held my face in her hands and said I’ve hair exactly like her daughter. And that whenever she saw me she was reminded of her daughter.

“From that moment onwards we bonded. Luckily, I play Sushmita’s sister in the film that we’re doing together. I love calling her didi,” said the actress who won best supporting actress Filmfare award for her performance in “Fashion”.

Kangana, who starred in films like “Woh Lamhe” and “Gangster - A Love Story”, is pleased to be finally doing comedy.

“I was really hurt when people said I was destined only to play tragic roles. I wanted to do comedy for the longest time. And that I’ve Sushmita playing my sister in the film is an added bonus. We’ll have a ball playing sisters,” she said.

SRK planning to sell of IPL team

Shah Rukh Khan is contemplating selling off his Indian Premier League team Knight Riders. This is what a famous business magazine is claiming. SRK had dropped “Kolkata’ from his team’s name just before the IPL season 2 began.

According to the magazine’s reports there are speculations that SRK is in talks with three big companies to take over his entire shareholding in the Knight Riders team. These names are said to be – Cell giant Nokia (SRK is their brand ambassador and they are also his team’s sponsors), Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group and Sahara group. It can be recalled that the King Khan had purchased the Kolkata franchise for a whopping Rs. 300 crore last year.

Now if he sells it he can at least make a cool profit of Rs. 100-150 crore. The magazine further claims that earlier SRK was just interested in selling a part of its stake but all those whom he approached also wanted management control which lead him to the three names mentioned above to sell his entire shareholding.

SRK has been quiet unlucky in the last season as well as the present on going one where his team is dipping right to the bottom of the chart. So may be it is that or may be he has realized owning a cricket team is not as easy as owning a production house. -Sampurn Media

Katrina Kaif still remains Akshay Kumar’s numero uno choice as co-star.

Of all the beautiful babes in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif still remains Akshay Kumar’s numero uno choice as co-star.

Though Katrina is in the top league of Bollywood actresses today, she is seldom credited for it. Often we hear rants about how Katrina struck fame by cashing in on the popularity of a crowd-puller like Akshay Kumar .

But, may be, it worked the other way round too. That Akshay while being the star to which Kat hitched her wagon also benefited from her as a co-star. How otherwise could one explain Akshay’s failed jodis with the likes of Deepika Padukone and Ayesha Takia in the last two of his releases – Chandni Chowk To China and 8x10 Tasveer respectively.

Of course, today we know that Katrina Kaif is the film’s heroine and has already shot one schedule of the film and is currently filming its second schedule in Singapore. But she may not have landed the role if Akshay hadn’t recommended her to Priyadarshan.

The director confirms that Katrina was signed for ‘De Dana Dan’ after Akshay’s recommendation. He says he’s happy to have made that choice because, in his words, Akshay and Katrina share a “terrific chemistry on screen”.

Well, we all know that.From:www.apunkachoice.com

Mallika Sherawat Up Coming Movie Hisss Wallpaper

Here is the first look poster of malaika shewrawat’s upcoming movie hisss which is directed by jennifer lynch.

do you think it is scary????

Saif whisks Kareena off for a Special Holiday

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, are presently in New york, shooting for Rensil D' Silva's film. They will finish the schedule in the next few days and the Chote Nawab plans to whisk away his beloved for a 10-day luxurious holiday in Italy's exclusive resort the 16th century Villa D'Este, on the shores of Lake Como in Cernobbio.

The villa has housed celebrities like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Greta Garbo, Gregory Peck, Clark Gable, Eddie Murphy, Liza Minelli, Sylvester Stallone and Bing Crosby amongst others. Alfred Hitchcock shot his first movie The Pleasure Garden here.

Says a source close to the couple, "Kareena has not been keeping well so Saif decided it was time for her to take a break. He called their business manager Zahid and cancelled all her work commitments for the next two weeks. Except for a brief Swiss holiday in Christmas, the actress has been busy with her films, shows and endorsements for a major part of the year. Kareena has also some big releases coming this year including Karan Johar's home productions directed by Rensil D'Silva and the one with Kajol and Raj Kumar Hirani's 3 Idiots."

The source adds that Saif is making all the travel arrangements. It will be their first time in Florence. He zeroed in on Florence as he loves it's old world charm and magnificent architecture of its chapels and churches. Seeing Michelangelo's paintings in Florence is also a part of the itenary.

The Prince of Pataudi is quite excited about their stay at the Villa d'Este. The source adds, "Although it is super-expensive, that was not an issue. Saif feels it's a well-deserved break and wants to make the trip special. Last time, he had booked an entire chalet in the Swiss Alps. Saif has made Bebo understand the importance of balancing her private and professional life. She won't be taking any phone calls during the holiday. It's all about fun."

Kareena says, "Yes, it's true Saif and I are shortly leaving for our Italian holiday soon but it's private and I wouldn't like to divulge the details of our stay."

Salman Khan brings Awareness for Hot and Run in Ad

Salman khan’s drink and driving scandal is still fresh in people’s memory when he drove rashly and ran over some poor people and ran away from the spot ironically the same salman khan is doing a ad to bring awareness for hit and run cases.

in this ad he tells people not to leave the victims on roads to be dead. stay there and try to help them out. he conveys the message not to drive when you are drunk.

A source says, “The ad talks about how people just ignore those who are in distress on roads when hit by someone. It shows a man hit by a vehicle who is left to die.”

Nikhil Saini who directs the ad says, Yes, Salman has done a 90-second ad with us. After the story unfolds, Salman comes to give a public service message. He is wearing ‘Being human’ shirt and he says, “Apni zimmidari se mat bhagiye. Responsible aur zimmedar logo ki zaroorat hai is desh ko.” The ad also has Vipin Sharma, (Darsheel Safary’s father in Tare Zameen Par) and Shailendra Gaur, in it. We are quite hopeful of driving home the point.”

well lets see if people take him seriously.

Shahrukh stepping Into Aamir's Shoes

As fate has it, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan are in the news again. The superstars are not at each other especially after bonding big time over the Cinema multiplex-producers crisis but it seems Shahrukh has been tempted to step into Aamir's shoes.

The news is doing the rounds that Shahrukh is going to replace Aamir in a new film by Reema Kagtis. It is said that Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani had a fall-out with Aamir over terms of the film, as Aamir demanded a whopping fee and certain percentage of the profit. The fall-out happened on the sets of 3 Idiots where Ritesh had come to finalise the deal. He left the sets disappointed, as he couldn't buy the terms and conditions laid down by the actor.

It may be recalled that Farhan, Ritesh and Aamir were like family and their film Dil Chahta Hai was a huge hit. Now, it looks like their relationship will be affected by this turn out. Ritesh Sidhwani confirmed that they were supposed to work with Aamir but had fallen out over his unacceptable demands. However, he refused to confirm if Shahrukh is replacing Aamir. He said that they would announce very soon if Shahrukh is in the film.

On the other hand, sources close to Aamir claimed that the actor never works for money or friends. It added that he turned down the offer as he didn't like the script.

Well, nobody can hide the truth. Keep a watch on this space!

I don’t want to be just Arm Candy: Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor is all for getting into the commercial groove after doing off-beat films and says she won’t mind playing Lara Dutta’s role in “No Entry” or Priyanka Chopra’s character in “Dostana”. But she is clear that she doesn’t want to be seen as just “arm candy” in song and dance sequences.

“I’m all game for doing movies that are set in commercial parlance,” said Sonam, who is choosing her projects carefully.

“It’s a misconception that after films like ‘Saawariya’ and ‘Delhi-6′, I’m only looking at films with serious overtones. All I look for is meat in my role.”

“See, I have never looked down upon hardcore commercial cinema. It’s just that I never wish to be an arm candy who does four songs, a couple of scenes and then vanishes away from screen. Those are not at all the kind of roles that excite me,” added Sonam, who will be seen in her father Anil Kapoor’s home production titled “Ayesha”.

The 23-year-old may have suffered two box office failures in the “Delhi-6″ and “Saawariya”, but that hasn’t hampered her passion for movies.

“Give me a meaningful role and I will do it even if it is hardcore commercial. Who says Bollywood masala movies do not have good roles for heroines? Look at what Lara Dutta did in ‘No Entry’. Now that’s a kind of role that I certainly don’t mind doing,” she said.

Any other reference points?

“Priyanka Chopra’s role in ‘Dostana’,” she said promptly. “She was so good in the movie and the character was extremely well-written as well.”

Incidentally, Lara had played Anil’s wife in “No Entry” while Sonam’s “Delhi-6″ co-star Abhishek Bachchan was seen with Priyanka in “Dostana”.

Mumbai, April 30 (IANS)

Preity and Neil to feature in a timepiece ad

It is not only films where young actors are being paired opposite older actresses. After working in films with Rimii Sen and Bipasha Basu, Neil is now teaming up with an actress older than him for an ad film.

He is endorsing an Italian luxury watch with Preity Zinta. The actress shot for the ad two days before leaving for the IPL in South Africa.

Says a source from the brand, "Neil was the only option for this ad because of his international looks.

His stubble gives him a rugged look, which is what the client was looking for. And Priety was selected for her strong presence in the international market and for her sophistication."

SRK chosen over Akki to perform at big fat Indian Wedding

Shah Rukh Khan has arrived back in India from South Africa and he has lot of things on his agenda. Most importantly he is back just in time for the voting day in Mumbai which falls on April 30th.

He is also planning to host a big bash for Hollywood star Gerald Butler of the film 300 fame but that apart he is here to perform at a big fat Indian wedding ceremony taking place in Mumbai at the Kamla Mills Compound on Thursday April 30th evening. It is learnt that it was Akshay Kumar whom the organisers had approached first but when the Khiladi Kumar quoted an astronomical price, the organisers roped in the King Khan who came cheaper. This wedding is of famous builder Kanti Govani’s nephew. SRK’s performance has been termed as The King Khan Nite. The next day that is on May 1st it will be music director Pritam Nite followed by Hollywood stuntmen performances including a huge explosion. The actual wedding shall take place on Sunday May 3rd morning.

Sources reveal, “SRK has been dancing at weddings and earning big moolah for years now and he has non apologetic about it. His price is reportedly around Rs 3-4 crore for such performances. This time, he shall be performing with three of Bollywood’s top heroines. Though the names haven’t been confirmed, there is strong buzz that Rani Mukherjee, Bipasha Basu and Celina Jaitley are scheduled to perform along side SRK. Akki had earlier danced for the wedding of Kanti Govani’s son and had made a entry that time on a horse back. Salman Khan too had performed that time and was reportedly gifted a sports car for his act.”

Well it seems the stars have various options forever ready to kill the recession blues. -Sampurn Media

Mallika Sherawat get “Arts Award” in New York

fter becoming the first Bollywood celebrity to have a milkshake named after her at the hotspot ‘Millions of Milkshakes’ in Hollywood city, Mallika Sherawat has now become the latest recipient of the prestigious “Arts Award” in New York.

The sexy actress was honoured recently for her unparalleled contributions to and influence with the Indian diaspora.

The event was organised by Honorable Jerramiah Healy, the Mayor of Jersey City and the New Jersey co-chair of President Barack Obama's primary campaign to honor the Indian community and its contributions to the United States.

Out of America's 100 largest cities, Jersey City has one of the largest percentages of South Asians. Area politicians, business persons, and members of the press attended the event.

As a congressional honoree, U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone (father of the India Caucus in the U.S. Congress), among others, also graced the event with his presence. The host of the event was JCHA Commissioner Raj Mukherji (the youngest commissioner in city history to serve the Housing Authority).From:www.indiaglitz.com

Mallika Sherawat was born Reema Lamba on October 24, 1981, in Haryana, India. Raised by conservative parents, Reema spent her childhood harboring secret dreams of someday making a living as a model and actress.

Amitabh refused to work with Abhishek!

The Amitabh-Abhishek combination has always worked very well on screen (Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, KANK), then why did Sr. Bachchan refuse to work with Jr. Bachchan in Sujoy Ghosh’s ‘Aladin’? Apparently it was Amitabh who requested Sujoy not to cast his son Abhishek along with him in the film!

Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh (of ‘Jhankaar Beats’ fame) revealed, “One afternoon when I was narrating the first draft of ‘Aladin’ to Mr. Bachchan, the initial script caught his attention but he was also quick to state; “Sounds interesting... but let’s not consider Abhishek for Aladin’s role. We are already doing a few films together... so let’s take a fresh face this time”. That’s how we thought of casting Riteish. Riteish is a very close friend of Abhishek and thus bonded very well with Amitabh.

We hope the new 'Aladin – Genie' combination will create magic at the box-office too.

Amitabh Bachchan Turns Stylist

Amitabh Bachchan has always been a trend-setter, but this time he goes a step further by adding a personal touch to his character.

While planning a shoot for a special number for his forthcoming film ‘Aladin’, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, Mr. Bachchan suggested doing his own styling for the song’s picturisation.

Apparently Mr. Bachchan was extremely excited about the groovy track picturised on himself and Riteish Deshmukh and while planning the shoot for the peppy number, expressed his desire to contribute to the song in his very own way: by choosing his own outfit for it!

Of course, the director willingly agreed and Mr. Bachchan went on to chose a deep red velvet jacket which added that extra touch of grandeur to his already larger-than-life persona in the film.

Now that’s what we call flaunting your style with panache!

Mayawati is India's Most Stylish Neta

Mumbai: They are India's topmost politicians, but do they make the cut when it comes to fashion? MiD DAY fashion editor Shweta Shiware analyses the sartorial sense of our netas

Sonia Gandhi, Congress
She is the most dignified leader in the country when it comes to dressing. Almost complimenting her personal outlook to politics, her wardrobe isn't drenched in superficial sulk. Sonia understands the importance of subtle perfection: her hair is simply done, but never out of place, the understated handloom saris or Tassar churidar-kurtas are never without an absence of colour, and her shoes are classic peep-toe wedges.
Tip: It would be interesting to see her in something younger; maybe well-cut pencil pants worn under a knee-length tunic.


J Jayalalithaa, AIADMK
The one-time glam girl of south Indian cinema now shrouds herself in saris, sometimes shielded with a bullet-proof cape from the same fabric. The owner of 10,000 sarees and 750 pairs of shoes, as one raid at her residence revealed, tends to resort to dark monotones, which is smart considering her girth.
Tip: The occasional floral prints she sports needs to be put aside. When in doubt, wear black. Especially when you are 61 and overweight.



Narendra Modi, BJP
The man with a mission to corporatise brand India isn't averse to brands. Bulgari rimless glasses, Mont Blanc pens and designer flat-dial watches are constant companions, even when he's launching a verbal blitzkrieg against Sonia Gandhi's Italian lineage. In Gujarat, he has single-handedly rechristened his trademark half-sleeve cotton bush shirt as the Modi Kurta and his double-strapped flat, brown chappals as Modi Chappals.
Tip: His charisma overshadows the style glitches, but maybe Modi without the facial hair would be a surprise.

Omar Abdullah, National Conference
He's got age on his side, not to mention taste. So whether Omar dresses in a crisp blue shirt worn under a knit cardigan, a pinstripe shirt with a blazing red tie, a dressy sherwani or a well-fitted jacket, he looks dapper. It will be interesting to see him opt for the jeans-Polo shirt-Ray Ban Aviators avatar.
Tip: Can we get a hairstylist to rid him of that peak of hair that juts out like a peninsula into an ocean of baldness?


Raj Thackeray, MNS
The man who caused havoc for North Indians is surprisingly diminutive in stature. We love the spin he gives to a drab shirt when he contrasts it with a sleeveless sweater bearing a flash of colour and designer sunglasses.
Tip: While he needs the kurta to connect with the Marathi manoos, nothing stops him from adding an edge to draw in the youth by slipping on a pair of rugged denims underneath.

Priya Dutt, Congress
Priya's non-committal approach to everything conventional, including the outdated whites and sarees, asserts itself muscularly to make her a woman who isn't afraid of wearing pants to Parliament or sporting a chunky wrist watch at a political rally. She combines the traditional with modern when she teams a hand-block printed kurti in vivacious blue with denim and girly, floral slip-ons.
Tip: How about adding some designer jazz to ordinary kurtis, perhaps a Monisha Jaising kurti in glamorous chamois?


P Chidambaram, Congress
The comforting waft of filter kapi wafts into our living rooms whenever the home minister appears on TV. Whether he's presenting the budget or visiting heads of state abroad, he never ditches the mundu (lungi). His ethnicity has made him an unconventional style icon, even for lifestyle magazine editors like N Radhakrishnan, who revealed his desire to feature him on the cover of Man's World.
Tip: The saucer spectacles must go. A sleeker frame was in order a decade ago, Chidu.



L K Advani, BJP
The PM aspirant comes across as rigid as far as his wardrobe goes. He rarely deviates from the kurta-pyjama-Nehru jacket combo; the only change is the colour of the jacket beige, black or slate.
Tip: A quick way to alter his look would be to invest in a new pair of spectacle frames. The current ones are way too large. A slim, rimless pair would be classier.



Lalu Prasad Yadav, RJD
He loves his khadi kurta-pyjama that he jazzes up with a Nehru jacket or a snug cardigan that accentuates his belly. On special occasions, he might want to try chic raw silk kurtas, Javed Akhtar style.
Tip: A trip to a salon, not the local hajaam, is in order. The excess and unruly hair on the head and ears needs to be taken care of. A crop that's styled with stronghold gel, swept to the side rather than falling in a tapeli-cut, should do the trick.


Varun Gandhi, BJP
While the Chinese-collared kurtas might be his way to blend with the experienced, he's alienating GenY.
Tip: Who sports a centre parting unless you are still reeling under the Tere Naam craze? A sleeker, buzzed haircut will make his face look less chubby.



Mayawati, BSP
The good thing is no matter how gawky she is, she's unique. The full-sleeved nylon salwar kameez, with a dupatta slung around her neck and heavy gold bangles rarely leave her. If she would only up the quality of the fabric (try Tassar silk or a handwoven cotton-silk blend) and ditch the bangles for a subtle, matte gold bracelet, or a pair of solitaires, she wouldn't look like she's trying too hard.
Tip: We're glad she cut the ponytail, but she needs to style her hair. The current top-heavy crop adds weight to her face.



Rahul Gandhi, Congress
Rahul's quiet charm provokes a flurry of naughty thoughts. His signature starched white kurta-pyjama is teamed with footwear that best suits the task at hand sneakers for the Olympian pace at rallies, loafers for Parliament, and platform sandals worn with jeans when he permits himself to socialise.
Tip: We've heard that a tediously worked-out six-pack lies beneath the kurta. Perhaps a linen shirt over worn-out denims will help us get closer to veracity.

Lindsay Lohan Thinks She Looks Good In a Bikini

After going on Ellen last week and explaining how she was going to get her career back on track now that she's single, Lindsay Lohan got her resume together, hired a new agent and began seriously checking out the job market, looking for small independent films where she can re-establish her credibility.


Nah, I'm just kidding. She went to Maui and laid around in a bikini. The worst part was, she kept bending over and stretching for the camera, like she thought we would enjoy it.


We don't, Lindsay, we don't.

Minissha Lamba has no love for Vivek

After replacing Tara Sharma in Rensil D'silva's Jehaad, now Minissha Lamba is also out. As reported in HiTLIST, Feburary 17, 'Tara"s pregnant, replaced by Minissha", now it comes to light that the actress is out because of her reluctance to shoot intimate scenes with co-star Vivek Oberoi.

A source reveals, "Minissha was very happy to have bagged a role in Jehaad, courtesy. Although it was only had a ten minute role, but couldn't stop bragging about it, since she was shooting for a film which was backed by Karan Johar's production house. But now, she is no longer part of the film.

The source continues, "The role demanded intimate scenes between her and Vivek. She was open to that but refused to do a kissing scene with the actor.

This didn't go down well with the director and he spoke to the production house to have her replaced. Minissha, who wasn't in favour of this kiss refused to reconsider, ensuring an exit as the only option."

Jehaad is a romantic thriller set against the backdrop of global terrorism. The movie stars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead. The supporting cast also includes Kirron Kher, Om Puri and some talented new faces.

Minissha and Jehaad director Rensil both remained unavailable for comment.

Tara Sharma adds, "Rensil had given me a briefing but we hadn't spoken about the intimate or kissing scene at length.

He knew I wouldn't be comfortable, and he did talk about working around it out minus the kissing scene as the script really didn't demand it."

K3G - Karan, Kajol, Kareena Gang

Karan Johar has done it again. After casting Kajol and Kareena Kapoor for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, way back in 2001, he’s got the two talented actresses again for his forthcoming venture. The film will be directed by debutante Siddharth Malhotra, who is production house Cinevistaa’s chairman Prem Kishen’s son and the grandson of the late Prem Nath. Siddharth was the creative producer of the hit TV serial Sanjivani and was responsible for conceptualising and shaping it.

Our source revealed, “Kajol and Kareena have been finalised for Karan Johar’s forthcoming film, which will start once the actors are free from their on-going films.”

The film, which is yet untitled is based on the Hollywood film, Stepmom (1998), starring Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts. The shooting of the film will begin as soon as Kajol wraps up the shoot of Karan’s My Name Is Khan, opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Karan Johar
So how did the casting come about? “Karan, who is directing Kajol in My Name Is Khan is very happy with her work. The same holds true for Kareena, who is working opposite Saif Ali Khan in a project directed by Rensil D’Silva,” said the source.

When queried about Kareena’s presence in Karan’s film, Kareena’s secretary maintained a diplomatic stand and said, “Kareena would never say no to Karan.”

Abhay Deol Kisses Mystery girl in New York

Abhay Deol, who is currently in New York, was spotted playing tonsil hockey with a young Indian girl at JFK airport last week.An eye-witness present at the airport reveals that Abhay was at the airport to see off the girl who was on her way back to Mumbai.

Abhay and his mystery gal entered the airport together holding hands. The actor was wearing a hat, his trademark Dev D glares, a casual shirt with blue jeans and high boot. The source describes that the two exchanged "a lover's kiss that says I will miss you, come back soon" Deol looked reluctant to let her go.

Since it was New York, both Abhay and the girl were carefree and didn't attempt to refrain from PDA. But when a few Indian fans approached him for autographs, he distanced himself from the girl. And when he posed for some photographs with them, he made sure his girl was nowhere in the frame.

The source adds, "Abhay carried her hand bag while she checked in. He lifted her up in his arms before she left and kissed her on the lips before she went for her security check, and then he watched her till he lost sight of her."

Our source who was on the same flight informs that at Mumbai airport, she was greeted by her mom and her sister at the airport and were later seen driving off in a red car.

Mailicious, Aamir idiot-ic!

Nitin Desai is appalled that a mail, supposedly sent by him blasting Aamir Khan, is being circulated in
Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan More Pics
the media

Art director, Nitin Desai is in a state of shock. A mail is being circulated with his name in which he questions Aamir Khan’s knowledge of the on-going distributors’ and exhibitors’ conflict. The mail is a link to the blog which, apparently, Nitin Desai has written criticising Aamir for his lack of knowledge and his mannerisms.

The content of the mail makes acerbic remarks at Aamir’s genius clearly indicating that contrary to perception, Aamir is not the intelligent actor that people make him out to be.

It also accuses Aamir of asking for larger share from the profits of Ghajini. It makes fun of Vashu Bhagnani, who was moved by Aamir’s “offer to clean toilets in single screens so that the release of his son Jackky’s debut movie is not impacted”.

A stunned Nitin Desai said, “I have absolutely no clue about what you are saying. Who is that Nitin Desai? I have worked with Aamir and have high regard for him. Who am I to point out Aamir’s mistakes? I am too small to take any panga with Aamir. There has to be some mistake or some mischief. I have got nothing to do with it and I have no clue about who is using my name to spread such things.”

Desai added, “I am too busy with my work, making my sets and creating new ideas for the same. I definitely have no clue whatsoever and have no time to write blogs and blame Aamir Khan for anything.”

Excerpts from the letter

...Mr Vashu Bhagnani is choking with emotion with Aamir’s magnanimous offer to clean toilets in single screens so that the release of his son Jackky’s movie is not impacted.

Sorry to spoil this moment for you Mr Bhagnani but do you not realise that Aamir has nothing to lose if Jackky’s movie flops because it could not be released in multiplexes?? Aamir’s skiing away in pretentious Montana while you are losing money and perhaps your son’s careeer to an unjustified cause.

His movie Three Idiots does not release until December so obviously he can sit back and have the last laugh on the snow laden slopes of the mountains while everyone else bows down to his ‘idiotic’ whims and fancies.

The Americans cannot get enough of our Mallika Sherawat

And no, we don’t mean the cold beverage made with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and topped with chocolate sauce and whipped cream that’s named after the hot Bollywood actress and is available at ‘Millions of Milkshakes’ in west Hollywood.

Though, foodies who have greedily gulped it down, say wickedly that the Mallika Milkshake is as sinful as they imagine the real item to be! Not even Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton, who share the dubious distinction of having milkshakes named after them at this Hollywood hotspot, have got such rave reviews.

But never mind milkshakes in America, tattlers are buzzing about recognition and honour coming Mallika’s way just like that in the US.

On Friday, she was presented a prestigious Arts Awards by the Mayor of Jersey City for her “unparalleled contributions to and influence on the Indian diaspora”. The event was organised to honour the Indian community and its contributions to the United States.

Jersey City has a large population of South Asians. Apparently politicians, business persons, and members of the press attended the event to get a closer glimpse of Mallika.

Bollywood's actress Priyanka Chopra's actual love interest continues.

Mumbai (IANS): She has been linked with three actors - Hurman S. Baweja, Shahid Kapur and Hollywood star Gerard Butler of "300" fame - all within a span of one year, but the mystery behind Bollywood's svelte actress Priyanka Chopra's actual love interest continues.

The rumour mills started working overtime after Butler, whom she met at the launch of the Atlantis hotel in Dubai last year, was quoted as saying in a leading daily: "I don't mind getting married to an Indian girl. Too bad Priyanka already has a boyfriend".

Now, who that boyfriend is, remains to be known.

Though rumours of a romantic liaison between Shahid and Priyanka have been in the grapevine lately after their joint appearance at filmmaker Tarun Mansukhani's birthday party in Mumbai last week, neither has confirmed the development.

The two will be seen together in Vishal Bharadwaj's "Kaminay".

"Priyanka has always maintained silence on her private affairs. Till date, she has never gone public about her personal life and she will continue to do so," a source close to the actress told IANS.

Even when news of her affair with her "Love Story 2050" co-star Hurman was doing the rounds, Priyanka remained politically correct. While Hurman was very vocal about their relationship as well as their break-up, the supermodel-turned-actress chose not to speak about it.

Now, the news about the friendship between Priyanka and Butler, who is currently in Jaipur, is raising eyebrows.

But the source clarifies: "He (Butler) is in Jaipur with four of his friends as part of an India tour.

"He came to Jaipur and knew that Priyanka was shooting and staying at Shiv Vilas for her film 'What's Your Rashee?'. So he came to the sets to meet her as they are good friends and to see what an Indian film shoot looks like. He also met all important people on the sets and was also introduced to Ashutosh (Gowariker) and Hurman. Priyanka and him are just friends only," the source said.

Butler, who played the role of King Spartan in "300", has also been linked to former "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston, which he has denied.

Amir Khan scored a patient half-century

Amir Khan scored a patient half-century to lead the Yannick Ottley XI to a 21-run victory over the Nicholas Alexis XI in the BGTT Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board Quadrangular Under-19 Tournament at the National Cricket Centre, Balmain, Couva yesterday.

Khan scored 50 as Ottley's XI were dismissed for 195, which was enough to ensure the win.

Qadir Shah gave the Alexis XI a good start, removing opener Aaron Alfred for four in the second over with the score on 13, but skipper Yannick Ottley and Amir Khan steadied the ship, taking the total past the 100-run mark.

The pair faced 26 overs to post a partnership worth 93 runs, with Khan bringing up his 50 after 99 balls and 118 minutes at the crease.

It included four fours and a six and after getting to the milestone, Khan was bowled by Terrence Ramsaroop to open the flood gates.

Three overs later, with the score on 115, Ottley, who faced 98 balls for his 41, sent a catch to Vashisht Maraj off the bowling of Rampersad.

With the batsmen trying to score quickly, Derone Davis came into the attack to remove wicket-keeper Clayton Wallace, bowled for a duck, and Javed Boodram, brilliantly caught and bowled, after a few juggles, for six with the score on 191. Akeil Hosein, who had compiled 29 runs from 46 balls, was then bowled by Shah in the last over, followed by Aneil Harrypersad in similar fashion off the penultimate ball of the innings.

When the Alexis XI batted, Savion Lara top-scored with 40 but that was not enough as Harrypersad took three for 29 to finish the job for the Ottley XI.

In yesterday's other match at Greig Street Recreation Ground, Marcelle Jones and Darron Beekah, along with their skipper Yannic Cariah, almost bowed their team to victory after they posted a low total of 99.

Jones took four for 33, while the skipper had two for 21 as the Akiel Cooper XI barely reached their target with three wickets in hand.

The chase was made even more difficult with Beekah bowling economically, taking one for five off eight overs, but it was not enough to stave off defeat.

Vanessa Hudgens Just Got Out Of Bed

Vanessa Hudgens went shopping yesterday on Melrose Avenue in California. It's a good thing too, from the looks of these pictures, she doesn't have a thing to wear except for boyfriend Zac Efron's shirt.


It's a pity all of the stores suddenly closed and she was forced to walk around like that all day. On the other hand, when you have legs that look like that, who really needs pants?

John Abraham gear up to play cricket

Cricket Fever has caught on big time thanks to the on-going IPL frenzy and hence it comes as no surprise to see some Bollywood filmmakers cashing in on the popularity of the sport which is almost a religion in India.




UTV Motion Pictures' forthcoming film Hook Ya Crook is one such film that has cricket as the backdrop. The film, directed by the David Dhawan, has John Abraham, Genelia D'souza, Kay Kay Menon and Shreyas Talpade in lead roles. The film is set in a prison and revolves around a cricket match played among the inmates.


With David at the helm of things, this one promises to be a complete entertainer. Also it would be interesting to see the fresh pairing of John and Genelia for the first time on the big screen. Majority of the film has been shot at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. The supporting cast includes talented actors like Pavan Malhotra, Murli Sharma, Krishna and Sharad Kapoor (who would be seen making a comeback of sorts after a really long time).

John who impressed one and all with his football skills in Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal will showcase his cricket skills this time in Hook Ya Crook. If the buzz is to be believed, then John's good friend and captain of the Indian Cricket Team M.S. Dhoni is also slated to make a guest appearance in this film. With such an impressive star cast and an interesting premise, Hook Ya Crook is certainly among the most awaited films of this year.

Shooting of Total Ten film on Mumbai Terror Attacks Underway

On location shooting of forthcoming Bollywood film ‘Total Ten’ is underway in Mumbai.

The film would star Rajan Verma, who essays the role of Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist caught alive during the Mumbai terror attack in November 2008.

Produced by Hari Om Sharam, Anand Pandrey and Kumar, Total Ten is budgeted at a meagre Rs. 3 crore and shows the journey of Kasab from Pakistan to the trial court in Mumbai.

The other actors performing the movie are Sudesh Berry, who plays Vijay Salaskar (former Senior Police officer and encounter specialist), Homi Wadia, who plays Hemant Karkare (former Chief of Mumbai anti-terrorist squad), Ashok Kulkarni, who plays Ashok Kamte (former Additional Commissioner of Mumbai police) and Ashish Vidyarthi, who plays Tukaram Ombale (former assistant sub-inspector of Mumbai Police).

All these brave men were killed while fighting the terrorists in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Describing the theme of his movie, Surendar Suri said that Total Ten was a tribute to these Mumbai police officers who paid the ultimate price while fighting for their countrymen.

“The title of the film ‘Total Ten’ if you read then you will come to know that there were only ten Mumbai police officers who got Ashok Chakra (bravery awards) and only those people get Ashok Chakra who have performed some heroic deeds. So this film is my tribute to their bravery,” said Suri.

Rajan Verma said he believes that the movie will give a message to those youngsters who have gone off track but not to trod the path of terrorism.

“This is not a mere film but it’s a message from those terrorists who are churned out of so called terror factories. We don’t have to finish one terrorist but we have to close those terror factories. And these terror factories will stop when the raw material (the youngsters) supplied to them is stopped. Through this film I have to give a message to those youngsters who have gone astray not to become terrorists,” said Verma.

Kasab was one of 10 gunmen who arrived in Mumbai last November via sea route from Pakistan to terrorise the city, killing 166 people. (ANI)

Bollywood's young heart throbs couple is going

t seems the relationship between Bollywood's young heart throbs couple is going through tough times. But being good actors, they are not making it visible on their cute faces. We are talking about Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

A close pal of the couple reveals, "Last week Deepika was to join Ranbir for going to Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani's birthday party at late night. Since she got stuck due to her work commitments (shooting of Excel Entertainment's Kartik Calling Kartik), Ranbir told her he would go alone to the party. But despite telling her so, he didn't go their. Instead he chose to attend another party that had his debut film Saawariya heroine Sonam Kapoor and her good friend Kunal Kapoor.

“He didn't tell this to Deepika who was well under the impression for days that he was at Tarun's party. The birthday party saw new love birds Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra making an entry and exit together publicly for the first time. John Abraham and Bipasha Basu too came in for the bash. When Deepika came to know about Ranbir's lie, it is learnt that she lambasted him over the phone while he kept giving her excuses such as how it was all a last minute change in his plan etc."

Now when we encountered Deepika at the latest Filmfare magazine issue launch and asked her about any strains in relationship happening between her and Ranbir, she questioned us back with a smile, "Do I appear hassled to you?"

Well certainly not Deepika but it is also true that you are a very fine actress. Just days back, Ranbir's sister Riddhima told to a news channel journo on TV that she doesn't think Deepika is Ranbir's girlfriend and that she knows Deepika only as one of his good friends. With news of Ranbir striking great rapport on and off the sets with his Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani co-star Katrina Kaif, we won't be left wondering when Deepika also starts losing sleep just like Salman Khan is over his partner.
