aishwarya-abhishek-500x375

Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan and the crew of Raavana had a scary experience while shooting the film in the jungles of Kerala. On the film’s sets, a tusker went out of control and wreaked havoc.

According to reports, Ash and Abhi had a narrow escape, but the mahout was killed after the elephant pierced its tusk into him.

The elephant ran amok and damaged some props and equipment on the sets. Not just that, the animal blocked the road and the crew could not return to their hotel. To ensure the safety of the shooting unit including Ash and Abhi, the forest officials moved the crew to the relative safety of Vazhachal area in the vicinity.

Meanwhile, the tusker was tranquilized and brought under control.

The shooting of ‘Raavana’ has already been disrupted on various occasions in the past, be it due to director Mani Ratnam’s poor health or accidents on the sets. In fact some people in the industry feel that the film is jinxed.

What’s been brewing between them is a big question? It seems Shahid Kapur and Priyanka Chopra like to surprise the media. The reports about them avoiding each other and not promoting Kaminey together are recent. But to everyone’s shock, the duo turned up for a film promotional event. And not only did they have a gala time, but were seen pretty comfortable in each other’s company.

According to reports, Shahid and Priyanka along with director Vishal Bharadwaj came to the shoot around 11 pm that day. After Vishal shot for his portion and said whatever he had to, it was Shahid-Priyanka’s turn and the two had a field day on the sets, entertaining everyone.

If Priyanka was with her brother and some friends, Shahid was accompanied by his own set of chums. When everyone was so friendly on the sets cracking jokes and having fun, it was a bit problematic for the VJ who was following the script meant for the show, but alas couldn’t control the two stars who were at their humorous best.

Now that makes us wonder if Shasha and Pranks actually share cold-vibes?

It isn’t a game, though it may be a show being watched by millions. For Rakhi and for me it’s a matter of life and death.”

Bipasha’s Hollywood film plans to fizzle out?

bipasha-basu-wallpaper

Just few days back there were tabloid reports about Bipasha Basu’s first Hollywood project starring Titanic villain Billy Zane, going on floors. But now news has trickled in that the project is being scrapped. It was to begin shooting tomorrow on Saturday July 25th. It is learnt that Smita Thackeray who was to produce this film has now backed out with reasons being cited as personal and professional.

This yet untitled film was to be directed by David Silverman and was to feature Bipasha in Angelina Jolie’s Lara Croft avatar. This romantic thriller was going to be shot in Kodaikanal and had actor Rajvirr of Kaise Kahen (2007) fame playing Bipasha’s second love interest. The film was to have Bipasha doing some intense love making scenes with both Billy and Rajvirr. Rumor mills suggest- the Rajvirr’s choice as the male lead wasn’t being appreciated and Smita Thackeray was adamant about him playing the role.

However now that Smita has backed out from the film, it only means that for now Bipasha’s dream of going international has come to a standstill, at least for now. Though for a long time now both Bipasha and her boyfriend John Abraham have been trying to go international but the plans are simply not working out.

hrithik-roshan tatto

Everyone knows that Hrithik Roshan’s latest addition to his right wrist is a tattoo bearing wife Sussanne’s name. BT gives you the first look at the same. Hrithik wanted to surprise Sussanne, who is holidaying in London with her good friend Gauri Khan and a few others. So he waited for Sussanne and his sons, Hrehaan and Hridhan, to fly off to London and then called tattoo artist Sameer Patange home.

The perfectionist that he is, he discussed the tattoo in great detail. Patange says, “He chose an Elvish font that was made famous with the Lord Of The Rings franchise.” Hrithik, who didn’t wish to spoil the surprise for Sussanne, then made sure that none of the papers nor channels got to see the tattoo before his wife did.

But here’s a dekko of the tattoo. Hrithik’s expression clearly shows that he is exuberant about getting his wife’s name permanently inked on his wrist. And so what if it is to just make Sussane happy! Didn’t Saif Ali Khan do the same? And David Beckham? Then!

'A' For Aishwarya...'H' For Hrithik in english alphabets

dhoom-2_aishwarya-rai_hrithik-roshan_11343

They are among the most adored film stars in Bollywood, but who could have guessed that the names of Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan could be used to teach kids basic English alphabets.

It’s no longer ‘A’ for Apple or ‘H’ for house. It’s ‘A’ for Aishwarya and ‘H’ for Hrithik in several books by private publishers. This was brought to attention by a BJP member in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Indian parliament.

Kalraj Mishra, the BJP member, wanted the government to enforce strict regulation to control “confusing publications” brought out by private publishers for children.

Mr. Mishra added that schools use private publishers’ books on the pretext of shortage of NCERT books.

The point raised by Mr. Mishra is quite pertinent, because if not halted now, this could spin off into a dangerous trend where B stands for Bollywood, C stands for Celina, and K stands for Kaminey.

Saif, Deepika with The Hidden Cameras

Deepika Pdukone as item girl [click here for the pictures]

The entire unit of Love Aaj Kal took a collective risk when they failed to get the permission to shoot a few important sequences of the film at London’s Leadenhall Market. Since the scenes were integral to the plot, director Imtiaz Ali and producer-actor Saif Ali Khan decided to take the risk and shoot them covertly at the same market.

So how did they do it?

The cameras were placed inside vans that were parked in the market. The film’s crew and cast " that also comprises Deepika Padukone " sauntered casually to the shooting spot. But since they could not keep secret the fact that they were shooting, the unit pretended that they had the requisite permission.

Funnily, the cops on duty bought it. They not just let the cast and crew shoot but even helped in the shooting. When a woman with a horse passed by and Imtiaz failed to catch her on camera, the co-operative cops called the woman back and let her walk again with the horse so that Imtiaz could shoot her.

Luckily, no one caught the film unit’s bluff.

Now, you can catch these scenes when the film releases on July 31.

Perhaps Imtiaz should send free tickets to those cops.

Akshay All Set For 'Pyaar Ke Side Effects'

 

akshay-kumar-1 It’s a sequel, not a remake. Producer Pritish Nandy is finally ready to start the Pyaar Ke Side Effects sequel, that too without the charming Rahul Bose whose portrayal of a casual, confused, commitment-phobic lover boy trying to win her ladylove back, made PKSE such an enduring rom-com of recent times. But, Akshay Kumar was the first and the only choice of Nandy for the sequel.

And here is another jolt for the readers; the movie won’t star Mallika Sherawat . She reportedly said no to the project. So it’s a PKSE sequel, minus Bose and Sherawat. Rather Sonam Kapoor is being considered for the female lead.

Director Saket Choudhary and Pritish Nandy have met Akshay with the script and the actor has liked the final copy. Akshay is quoted as saying in a media report, “The script is funny and interesting. Saket is a talented director and I am always looking for fresh talented directors to work with.”

So it will be Akki who will take forward the character of Sid. And Sonam will expectedly play Trisha. The actress has not yet been approached. Pritish will approach her once Akshay makes his dates available.

But the makers haven’t clarified if the movie will narrate a new story or will take forward the Sid-Trisha tale. We just hope they don’t spoil the sequel by glossing it over with big stars but no substance.

The junior crew members of the Love Aaj Kal team had a pleasant experience shooting with the leading lady Deepika Padukone. One of the crew members says that they grew fond of Deepika while shooting with her and on the other hand she also became friendly with them. They would often be a part of some prank and gossip on the walkie-talkie.

A unit source revealed, “Deepika would borrow the walkie from one of the assistant directors and pass comments, amusing and communicating to a select few who would know and leave the rest baffled as to who the mysterious voice was. The crew members in the beginning were unaware that it was Deepika and gossiped with her openly. Someone suddenly realized that she was playing a prank with them and soon the whole unit realized that Deepika was the mysterious person. But Deepika sincerely enjoyed the banter and took all the gossip very sportingly.”

Shahrukh Holidays In London

srk When he works, he forgets his injuries and pain. But when he relaxes, he enjoys like a king. Shahrukh Khan has been shooting for Karan Johar’s film My Name Is Khan for many weeks in the US despite his painful shoulder, which still hasn’t fully recovered from the surgery earlier this year.

But after completing the shoot, the superstar flew off to London with his wife Gauri and two kids to enjoy for a few days before flying back to Mumbai.

Reports say SRK and his family stayed at a spacious house the superstar bought earlier this year in Park Lane, Central London. It’s one of the most posh localities in London and houses there are priced in a range of 2mn pounds to 8mn.

Every year in the month of June, SRK usually flies to London with his family. He’s said more than once that London is his favourite place to relax.

Apart from ‘My Name Is Khan’, SRK has a couple of more projects in the pipeline, including Farah Khan’s Happy New Year, but the actor is taking it slow to let his shoulder heal properly.

Deepika Too Thin To Be An Item Gal In South

deepika padukone sexy bollywood actress pictures210709 Yet, Deepika Padukone was chosen for the item song in Telugu film ‘Love 4ever’ because director Jayant believed she fitted the bill perfectly. Deepika, who herself isn’t fond of the ‘item girl’ tag, said she did the number because it was intrinsic to the script and not just a glamourous add-on in the flick.

But the first look of the song would have many jaws dropped with disappointment.

Firstly, Deepika looks too thin to pass for a siren down south, where only voluptuous and curvy bombshells like Namitha are deemed hot by the audiences.

On top of it, Deepika’s styling appears below par. In one still, the Om Shanti Om girl has her hair open and ruffled. In another, her hair, apparently oiled, is knotted in a plait.

Shot at a Hyderabad studio, the song shows Deepika dancing with a bunch of minimally dressed foreign beauties. The song was choreographed by Ahmed Khan.

Gauging the initial response on the Internet by movie buffs, not many people find Deepika hot in the item song.

One of the most sought after Bollywood actress, Priyanka Chopra turned 27 this Saturday but there not no birthday bash for this girl who has always had a quiet birthday with friends and family since the age of 12.

“It’s always been a home celebration. My family brings in surprises for me and I like it that way because I really get worried when it comes to organizing parties,” she laughs.

“I’m not a big party person and I don’t like throwing parties at all. So this time a lot of my family members have decided to fly down to be with me. It’s likely to be a day spent doing nothing in particular - just hanging out with the people who love me and want to be around me to make my day special. That’s all,” she added.

Talking about her birthday resolutions, Piggy Chops said, “I don’t have any specific plan, but hope for peace of mind and well being. This year has been extremely good for me, and I would like to thank God for it.”

With many awaited films at present, viz., Vishal Bharadwaj’s “Kaminey” with Shahid Kapoor, Ashutosh Gowariker’s “What’s Your Rashee?”, and Yash Raj Films’ “Pyaar Impossible” along with Uday Chopra and Dino Morea, Priynaka Chopra says that she does not believe much in setting goals.

“I’ve never set any goals for myself. I’ve always been destiny’s child and destiny has always looked after me. I think someone up there always manages my life and does what’s best for me. So I just leave it up to Him. I just work hard at what he sends my way,” she said.

Priyanka Dating With Shahid?

priyanka-chopra dating with shahid

Today is Priyanka Chopra’s birthday. And the gorgeous actress isn’t throwing any party. But if reports are to be believed, the lady is taking a two-day off. Interestingly, Shahid too is taking a break for two days.

Priyanka has kept 18th and 19th July free from any kind of appointments, promotion events or shooting. And so has Shahid. Too much of a coincidence! Don’t you think?

Perhaps the duo plans a getaway to a secret destination to celebrate the special day. Otherwise why would they take the trouble of taking off on the same days despite their extremely busy schedules?

Priyanka had made it clear from the start that she’s not keen on throwing a bash as her last experience was bad when she couldn’t enjoy her own party (where Bollywood big wigs and Hollywood’s Gerard Butler came) because she was too tied up being a perfect host.

Day before yesterday it was Katrina’s birthday, today it’s Priyanka’s and both the actresses planned to celebrate it privately. After all, private space is much fun for these celebs nowadays. But trust some paparazzi bloke to sneak in and come out with a picture.

There’s one opposite Fardeen Khan, It’s My Life opposite Hurman Baweja, Hook Ya Crook with John Abraham and Yahoo with Shahid Kapoor. Isn’t that a lot?”

But, yes, she agrees, that you come into your own in Bollywood only when you act with the Khans. And that kind of film is eluding her currently. “Like every young girl, I too would like to work with the Khans, but each film has a script and only a suitable actor can play that role,” she admits.

Kareena Kapoor will be part of ‘Race 2′: Saif Ali Khan

saif_ali_khan_kareena_311

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was so keen to revive the “Race” magic with Abbas-Mustan that he has convinced the producers to rope them in as directors. He reveals that girlfriend Kareena Kapoor will also feature in the movie.

“They understand the pulse of the plot. ‘Race’ was a fast-paced action-adventure caper. Not too many filmmakers in Bollywood would’ve done such a wonderful job of it,” Saif told IANS.

“Yes, Kareena will be part of ‘Race 2′. We’re yet to flesh out the details. But ‘Race 2′ has to be bigger and larger than ‘Race’. Otherwise no point in making it,” he added.

Bipasha Basu’s character has been written out of the script to make way for Kareena.

Produced by Tips Industries Ltd, “Race”, which also had Akshaye Khanna, Anil Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, turned out to be one of the big hits of 2008. But for the sequel, Ramesh and Kumar Taurani were not keen to have Abbas-Mustan on board as directors.

But Saif has convinced the producers to launch part two with the director duo.

Apparently “Race 2″ will be more gadget and gizmo-friendly, as upwardly-scaled as “Dhoom 2″ was, compared to “Dhoom”.

Is Rakhi Sawant Ka Swayamwar a sham?

Rakhi_Sawant1

On last Saturday a popular news channel, News 24 did a sting operation on NDTV Imagine’s reality show Rakhi Ka Swayamwar. With hidden cameras they met two booted out contestants from the show who candidly revealed all the embarrassing facts regarding the show. One contestant from Kashmir who is a Police constable by profession even revealed that the makers knew he was married and had three kids yet they made him participate on the show.

But if our sources are to be trusted then there are more shocking facts lined up ahead. Our source claims, “Rakhi Sawant is not going to get married to any of the contestants. The whole thing is a sham. Rakhi is no fool to get married to a reality show contestant. One can recollect her ex-boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi has been a reality show contestant as well. He was a product of Zee’s Cinestars Ki Khoj. She has time and again spoken about her bad experience about getting in a relationship with a nobody like him who used her for financial benefits.”

He further reveals, “When the show reaches its grand finale time and Rakhi finally gets down to making her final choice amongst the last remaining contestants, the makers of the show will be giving the contestants an option of either choosing big money or Rakhi. The guys will opt for the money bag over Rakhi.”

“This will be revealed to Rakhi and the drama queen that she is will throw a fit and express her disappointment and disqualify them. So finally that’s how she will still remain unmarried on the show. If the TRPs go on to increase till the show finale, then a season 2 cannot be ruled out.” concludes our source.

Another source reveals, “Such a show was originally being planned with Bobby Darling but that was for another TV Channel. The makers however chickened out at the last minute to go ahead getting worried about the backlash.”

We then wonder why all this tamasha of getting in celebrities on each episode and making the contestants perform silly tasks. Then you also have special time dedicated to Rakhi venting out all her vent up frustrations about her personal life. Sorry boss it is not entertainment. But well like a senior actor reveals, “In TV nowadays there is only one mantra – ‘TRPs ke liye kuch bhi karega and after all Rakhi too is benefiting from the show by not just the means of good money but also so much screen time dedicated to her dressed in the best of the costumes.”

Akshay Kumar - Next King of Bollywood

akshay kumar king of bollywood

With 'Kambakkht Ishq' grossing Rs 100 crore already, you'd think that Akshay Kumar would be one of the cockiest actors in Bollywood.

The star has been rising despite some flukes and despite bad press for 'Kambakkht Ishq', but from the numbers, Akshay Kumar appears to be the new King of Bollywood.

However, Akshay Kumar said something a little different about his rise in Bollywood. He said "Really, ever since the time it became loud and clear that 'Kambakkht Ishq' had succeeded amongst the audiences, I'm being asked if I'm marching towards the top again.

My reply to them is that I'm happy living and dying being where I am and that's anywhere but on top...See, I'm a clown and not a king. Once a clown, always a clown! I belong in the ring, not on the podium."

In his recent interview, he was the first to admit that he's more interested in clowning around rather than taking the throne.

Katrina's 25th birthday a family affair in London

Katrina kaif sexy bollywood actress pictures 160709

Katrina Kaif has many reasons to smile. First her recent release 'New York' became a huge success and now comes her birthday, which the British-born actress will celebrate with her entire family in London Thursday.

'I'm celebrating my birthday this year with my entire family, all my sisters who have flown down from all over, my mom who's flown down from Chennai and my brother who's a professional rock climber,' Katrina, who will turn 25, told IANS through SMS.

'I was supposed to spend a long holiday with them last year during Christmas and New Year in London, but I had to cut my trip short because of my work schedule.

So this year I'm specially taking time out for them and we are going to Italy for a family get together. I haven't had a break in almost two years, so I'm looking forward to this,' added the actress.

Last year her birthday bash turned ugly when beau Salman Khan picked a fight with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. So this year Katrina is celebrating her birthday away from tinsel town.  She is just six years old in the industry, but has found a firm foothold.

Subhash Ghai's 'Yuvvraaj' disrupted it, but only for a brief period, as Katrina bounced back with the commercial and critical success of Kabir Khan's 'New York', a film about 9/11.  According to film critics, with big banners, huge fan-base and several brand endorsements, Katrina is currently one of the most sought after actresses in the Hindi film industry. Katrina has evolved immensely as an actress. In Bollywood, actors are mostly known for the number of hits they deliver. Katrina has won hands down in that respect. She can undoubtedly be called a lucky mascot for her producers,' said popular film critic Taran Adarsh.

Mumbai-based film critic Anupama Chopra says there are high expectations from Katrina even this year. 'Katrina has had a fortunate choice of films' even though she 'had a rather unfortunate start with 'Boom'. She is a stunning looking actress and so far she is doing well with her glam doll image. We did see glimpses of an actor in her performance-oriented roles in 'Namastey London',' said Chopra.

Her basket is full of good roles - she will be seen in films like 'Blue' starring Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt, Rajkumar Santoshi's 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' and Priyadarshan's 'De Dana Dan' yet again starring Akshay. She is also doing the female lead in Prakash Jha's political drama 'Rajneeti'.

Katrina is one of eight siblings. Her mother is British and her father is from Jammu and Kashmir who has since acquired British citizenship.  The actress spent her formative years in Hawaii but later moved to London.

From Shruti Haasan to Mithun for Impossible Stunts

Shruti-Hasan

It took a spirited 20-year old Shruti Haasan to get a 50-plus Mithun Chakraborty on top of a hurling train in Thailand for an intricate stunt sequence in Soham Shah’s Luck.

And what’s more, Soham Shah was also asked to get on top of that train by his cast

Recalling those anxious days in Thailand, and earlier in South Africa where the earlier part of the same train-top stunt was shot, Soham says, “Our fight director Allan Amin had taken every precaution. But still as the director, I had my heart in the mouth when I saw my entire cast from Sanjay Dutt and Imran Khan; to Ravi Kissan and Shruti Haasan getting on top of that hurling burning train.”

The trickiest thing was to get Mithun Chakraborty in the action mode. “He hadn’t done stunts for decades. But when Shruti whom we didn’t want to put on the train-top and for whom we had got a body-double, insisted on doing her own stunt, Mithun da was right up there along with the rest of the cast.”

It so happened that when some locals got to know that Amitabh Bachchan was shooting there, a huge crowd accumulated but after a long wait they returned frustrated and dejected cursing the unit for spreading false rumors.

Balki confirmed the news saying, “Yes, it’s true. Fans of Amitabh came rushing when they heard he was shooting in a school nearby. The fans stayed for two hours, loitered, went around him and went away complaining that there was no Amitabh. They just couldn’t recognize him.”
