WHO . . .

. . . SHE . . . ? ? ?

Sonakshi shocked about her bikini picture

 

‘Dabangg’ actress
Sonakshi Sinha is a shy actress
and she is not comfortable exposing herself. She has already informed her inhibition to the makers of the film, ‘Race 2’ that she would not expose at any cost and they accepted the same but she was shocked to hear about the report that next time she will be donning green and white striped bikini for Maxim cover.

A certain section of the media claimed that next time Sonakshi will be gracing the cover page of Maxim with a bikini. They also claim that Sonakshi’s bikini image was first decided for the cover page but when her actor's father Shatrughan Sinha expressed his dissatisfaction, they changed the cover page to black outfit.

Sonakshi expressed her shock about the wrong speculation and tweeted, “Quite shocked to see India Today carrying an article on me appearing on maxim in a bikini!! Yeah right. These guys generally have their facts n figures right! Got the fact that I'm on maxim right, but the figure (pun intended) completely wrong! Would have been smart if they checked out the magazine before writing whatever they felt like. It's not about me anymore but about their credibility.”

Sonakshi grabbed eyeballs for her gorgeous look on Maxim cover.

Arjun Rampal upsets his best buddy Shahrukh

A crack has been created at Arjun Rampal and Shahrukh Khan’s relationship. By signing Pritish Nandy’s film, Arjun Rampal has miffed his two best pals Shahrukh Khan and Karan Johar. For years, Shahrukh Khan’s camp and Pritish Nandy communications shared a sour relationship and they are not in talking terms.

Despite knowing the fact, Arjun Rampal signed Rongita Nandy’s next picture. It is believed that PNC has offered him a lucrative sum to play the role, When contacted, Rongita Nandy said, "Yes, we are doing a film with Arjun and it starts this month. However, we are not giving out any details at the moment and we will make an official announcement soon”.

While the actor refused to comment, a close friend of his said, "Arjun is not even aware of any problems between Karan, SRK and PNC. Arjun is sure that no one will hold grudges against him, especially because the so-called issue is over six years old. Arjun and SRK are still the best of friends, contrary to rumours about their fallout. Arjun loved the script of this film and is working in it. There are no two ways about it."

Let’s see whether it is an end of the relationship.

Kiran Rao shifts focus to small screen

Okay guys! Do Not go by the title… Kiran rao, the very talented wife of Aamir Khan, is planning to make a film on the world of Indian reality shows, that have made stars like Rakhi Sawant.

According to a source, Kiran was struck with this idea after the incident when a man from Jhansi committed suicide on being called impotent by Rakhi on her show Rakhi Ka Insaaf. Well, the fact that Rakhi owes her name, fame and career to reality shows, and there are many wannabe’s around the globe who are fascinated about participating in these reality shows so that they also have their share of fame on TV, cannot be changed.

The first-time director has already earned the name of being a sensitive, realistic filmmaker.

Mean while, Kiran’s Dhobi Ghat has finally come to an end and is all set to hit the theaters on February 11.

Bangla newspaper calls SRK, 'King of Vulgarity'

Shahrukh Khan charms Bangladeshi crowd with his act and the response was awesome. But a Bangladeshi newspaper miffed with him for varied reason and called him ‘King of Vulgarity’. Shahrukh Khan
enthralled 30000-strong crowd at Dhaka's Army Stadium on December 10 with his troupe comprising Rani Mukherjee, Dia Mirza, Arjun Rampal but some section of the people did not like his few actions.

They blamed him for smoking in public, for using slang Bangla, for indecent behavior, for not respecting the country and the people etc.

While Karim Morani who organized the show said, "We directed and scripted the show. We did not organise it. And no we are not aware of any negative reports. I have heard the response was phenomenal."

Who's this another hottie sharing 'Barfee' with Ranbir?

Anurag Basu is a filmmaker, who has an eye for new talents and he has done it again for his next venture Barfee, which stars big stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. They were looking for another girl to play the second heroine in the film.

Initially, the role was offered to Asin and then to Deepika Padukone. Asin did not accept because of money issue and Deepika had obvious reasons, for the male lead!

Anurag saw the pictures of South Indian actress Ileana D'Cruz, who debuted in 2006 Telugu film Devadasu. Basu then showed the pictures to Ranbir, who looked her immediately and said that Illeana had the kind of delicacy and grace like Deepika.

In this way, the 23-year-old South Indian star Illeana got her first Bollywood break. Anurag met the actress and her mother and things got finalized in few days.

He elaborated them about Illeana's role in Barfee and also made it clear that Priyanka Chopra will be playing the other leading lady. Illeana, who has already grabbed the lead role in Tamil remake of 3 idiots, will have to get her Hindi diction right before she faces camera for Barfee.

So, we can expect another South Indian actress making her way to Bollywood after Asin and Genelia. Hope she becomes as successful as them!

Now everyone wants to work with Sonakshi Sinha!

Sonakshi Sinha or the Rajjo of 'Dabangg' has shot to instant fame due to her village belle act in the block buster with Salman Khan as the male lead where the two shared an amazing on screen chemistry. Such was the impact of the movie that it made Salman Khan immediately say yes to the next project with Sonakshi which is titled Kick.

Right after that the amazing beauty has also bagged a role opposite the favorite action man of B town Akshay Kumar in a project titled Joker, which is touted to be in 3D.

Both the new movies are to be Shirish Kunder's films and with these two big movies in her kitty, Sonakshi was being seen as one of the most promising new comers who were on top of the charts even before anyone realized it.

Recent reports doing the rounds suggest that Sonakshi Sinha is being considered to be cast in many top big banners and even top actors like Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan who have their own production houses are said to be keen on taking her as the female lead in their future projects.

Sonakshi Sinha has indeed been quite a lucky gal not only for herself but also for the film in which she is starring, taking the case of Dabangg and perhaps it is due to this that she is also being offered an astounding one crore for her forth coming projects.

What Sonakshi Sinha has achieved is something which is quite praiseworthy, as reports suggest that even stars like Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor and he like did not get such astronomical fees right after their debut films.

Well with Salman Khan's golden touch and her lovely looks Sonakshi is surely hopping up the ladder to success with aplomb!

Irrfan Khan to play villain in the next Spiderman movie

Irrfan Khan is one Indian actor in recent times, who has been doing quite good in Hollywood. The 48-year-old Indian actor started his Hollywood journey in 2007 with Michael Winterbottom directed film 'A Mighty Heart'.

Since then, we have seen Khan in many other Hollywood films like 'The Namesake', 'The Darjeeling Limited', 'Slumdog Millionaire', 'New York', 'I Love You', 'Hisss' and 'In Treatment'. He has just finished shooting for 'In Treatment' and now he has got his dream role in the 'Spiderman' franchise. Khan has been offered to play the role of a villain in the next Spiderman movie.

Speaking about this latest Hollywood venture, Irrfan said that it is like a dream come true for being cast in this movie. However, he did not elaborate much about his role and said that he will play the new villain Proto Goblin. The latest film will also have a new director in the form of Marc Webb.

As per the international sources, Irrfan's character Van Atter will get transformed into Proto Goblin in the film. Actress Annie Parisse is likely to play the role of his wife.

Khan says that these movies keep on adding new elements to the franchise and that's what excites him. Khan claims to have watched all the Spiderman movies and read the comics too. He adds that each new film puts new angle and new challenges thus exploiting the characters while maintaining the credibility.

Irrfan is feeling proud to be a part of such a renowned franchise and that is justified considering the popularity of Spiderman series.

Big B refuses to work with Mallika Sherawat

Amitabh Bachchan has refused to share screen space with the sexy lady, Mallika Sherawat. Director Kushan Nandy has approached Big B to work in a film with the Murder actress but he said no. Big B is not keen to work with the actress who is well-known for her sexy image rather than her films.

Jaya Bachchan also holds the same view about Mallika and she has also suggested her hubby not to work with the actress who is more popular for her sexy avatar than her performance in films. Mallika has once delivered an embarrassing statement about the megastar. She said that she would like to see Mr. Bachchan running in slow motion as she feels that he would look really sexy in this action. The statement of Mallika embarrassed the actor.

Mallika already told the director that if he could get Amitabh Bachchan to act alongside her then only she would sign the project. Kushan Nandy is now looking for another actress to pair opposite Amitabh.

Priyanka takes up a new social cause

Priyanka Chopra has attached herself to a new social cause. Priyanka Chopra has taken on an initiative titled Wave that will sponsor the education of a group of girls and also help build a school.

A source reveals, “Priyanka is particularly interested in the education, especially that of the girl child. When the opportunity came by, she immediately decided to give her support to the initiative. Despite her commitments, PC has taken personal interest in meeting the group of girls who will benefit from the cause.”

The motto for the Wave initiative is ‘Adoption for Education’ and Chopra will also put together a performance for a concert to raise money to support the charity.

The source adds, “Muskaan and Nanhi Kali are the two NGOs that will work closely with Wave to help garner funds to build a school for the girls.”

PC confirms, “When I was asked to be part of this event, I didn’t need to think twice.
I wanted to be a part of what is an awesome idea: celebrating everything about women, recognising their immensetalent and drive. I’m honoured to be part of this wonderful initiative.”

Katrina ‘World’s Sexiest Woman’ for the third time in a row

 

Angelic beauty Katrina Kaif has been named the Sexiest Woman in the World for the third consecutive year, beating all the other hotties to thje title. Even after so many years, Katrina mania is still in full flow.

This damsel has topped London-based newspaper Eastern Eye’s list of the hottest women in the world. Yes, she has been voted the sexiest woman in the world.

When asked what she had to say about it, Kats quipped,

“I’m very happy that I have made it to the top of Eastern Eye’s list again. England is of course a very special place to me and I think it’s very sweet to be voted the sexiest by them. I just want to thank everyone for the support,”

Eastern Eye, a South Asian publication in the UK, conducted the poll. The list was calculated on the basis of the most photographed women in the world and the most in-demand with film producers and fans. Bollywood heroines dominated the top 10. The list also included beauty pageant winners, top actors from around the world, pop stars and TV personalities.

Priyanka Chopra narrowly missed out on the top spot by finishing second for the second year in a row. Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat came eighth, a spot behind Kareena Kapoor who came seventh.

Bipasha Basu occupied the third spot and Freida Pinto, India’s most popular export to Hollywood, only managed a fourth position, while Lara Dutta rounded off the top five.

Deepika Padukone And Saif Ali Khan Are Back!

In a collaborative coup, the producer of Illuminati Films, Dinesh Vijan, has brought together a powerhouse of talent to make the company's next film that will start shooting in April 2011, the film will be shoot in.

The untitled project has been scripted by well-known filmmaker Imtiaz Ali (Love Aaj Kal, Jab We Met), will be directed by Homi Adajania (Being Cyrus) and will be starring Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan. The film will be shot in London, Spain and Delhi

When bringing up any parallels between this and Love Aaj Kal, Homi Adajania embraces the fact that “it's a similar space from where Love Aaj Kal left off and then it roller-coasters from there… Imtiaz has given us a hysterical and open-minded celebration of relationships that explore the various choices that life may offer… and what people are willing to surrender for love or sacrifice for friendship.”

Saif admits, “I was waiting for a script as contemporary and relevant as this to come my way and it has been worth the wait. I'm very excited about this story, it is romantic, funny and has a great balance of drama and entertainment.

I've wanted to do a love story with a modern sensibility and treatment and I know that Homi will give us exactly that. I'm also looking forward to my pairing with Deepika again.... She has a fantastic role in this and I think she has grown impressively since LAK and will handle it very well.

Says Deepika--for me to do a romantic film it has to be very exciting, and yet different, and to find a script like this, which is edgy and quirky, had an instant connect for me, it has a bit of everything, and I have seen Homi's Being Cyrus, and absolutely love his work, I have great respect for him, and I'm confident he is the perfect choice to direct this film.

I haven't played shades of a character like this before. This film also marks the reunion of the Love Aaj Kal team, with Saif, Dinoo and me. I'm very excited to be working with Saif again, he is one of my favourite co-stars and I hope we can recreate the magic of Love Aaj Kal once again on screen.

Producer Dinesh Vijan is happy that they have taken their time and chosen their projects wisely. “ At Illuminati Saif and I have always wanted to develop projects of diverse genres and stories that we believe in… we want to take our time and create content that today's well-exposed audience might like. Imtiaz has given us a beautiful story, audience loved Saif and Deepika in LAK and I am happy that we could bring this pair together again” Vijan adds.

Only Priyanka can salvage Hrithik's career after 2 flops

Bollywood is currently under the spell of sequels and trilogies. The current trend of moviemaking in the Hindi film industry will reveal that almost every film which was popular at the box office is being brought back as a sequel for the audience.

Therefore the Roshan family too is not to be left behind in the race. After tasting bitter failure with their earlier release 'Kites', the father – son duo of Rakesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan will be back on the Bollywood screen with a sequel to their 2006 release 'Krrish'.

According to reports circulating in the media, apart from Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra has also been roped to reprise her role of the journalist in the sequel to the 2006 superhit film.

Contrary to earlier reports where it was said that leggy lass Piggy Chops will not be a part of the upcoming movie because of her supposed fallout with the Roshans, a source close to the Roshan family has said in a statement to the media that Priyanka Chopra was the first and only choice for the sequel to Krrish.

The plot of the sequel has not been revealed as of yet, but reports suggest that the sequel will begin from where the prequel saw its end.

Therefore we can expect that while Hrithik Roshan as Krrish will still be the superhero, Priyanka Chopra will be his journalist girlfriend. Rakesh Roshan however will have to search for a new negative character for his upcoming project.

Jhalak Dikhla Ja 4 contestants, Jhalak Dikhlaja judges, JDJ dance show 2010

JhalakDikhhlaJaa is an Indian version of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

Sony Entertainment Television brings Jalak Dikla Ja with new celebrities and well known faces to perform with professional dance partners on a highly competitive stage. The show is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions in India.

The dances are typically more exuberant than on its sister programmes around the world, owing to India’s unique Bollywood traditions. Also because of the strong Bollywood approach, India is the only country to not have live music with an in-house Big Band. The show is also pre-recorded unlike the UK’s Strictly Come Dancing and other spin-offs. All the ballroom and latin dances are danced as bollywood themed showdances (US: freestyles) rather than with strict ‘syllabus’ ballroom or latin technique.

The fourth season of the show premiered on December 12, 2010 on Sony Entertainment Television.

Shahana Goswami goes from Bold To Bolder!

Shahana Goswami, who shot to fame with her demure and girl next door acts in Firaaq and Rock On!, is no more happy playing the coy girl on screen.

Armed with a sensuous dusky look, it was but natural that Bollywood make use of the actress’ face for bold and sexy characters. According to reports in the media, bold and sexy is exactly where Shahana Goswami is going with subsequent performances in Bollywood.

The young Bengali actress who had vowed to herself that she will become an actress in Bollywood in spite of the fact that she has no godfather in the industry, has slowly and steadily carved a niche for herself in the minds of producers and directors in Mumbai.

Shahana Goswami has received all the accolades for her demure acts on screen and she is now grabbing a large number of eyeballs by shedding all her inhibitions for the cameras.

Shahana Goswami’s future projects are Mirch and Game. While Game portrays the actress as a seductive journalist, Mirch is an out and out erotic film with women’s sexuality as its main subject.

According to reports circulating in the media, Shahana Goswami is working hard to project herself as the next sex symbol of Bollywood.

While healthy food is part of her everyday diet, the actress is taking time out from the projects at hand to participate in various activities like water sports and has also chalked out a workout regimen to get the perfect toned body required to play the seductive in her future films.

Salman Khan supports the Deols

At the music launch of the film Yamla Pagla Deewana, Salman Khan turned out in support of the Deols – Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby. The event took place in Mumbai on December 9.

Salman Khan gels very well with the Deols. Salman, 43, arrived solo at the event amidst a flash frenzy, looking hunky in a plaid shirt, destroyed jeans and black dress shoes. He was late because he got mired in traffic between Bandra and Juhu but was warmly welcomed on arrival by the hosts.

Following the event, Salman rallied his fans in support of the film with the tweet.

“Jst came bak frm the deol music function y p d . Felt so good to meet em , yeh picture toh dekna banta hai bosss .”

He then urged his fans to go down memory lane and tweet their favorite Deol dialogs.

“Which is dharamji. Sunnydeol and bobby deols fav dialogue bataoooo winner ka nam mein tweet karoonga”

An hour later his verdict was:

“Everybody has lost as no one has said the best dialogue. Arre mausiji ke saath kaun shaddi karega”

The dialog from Sholay was penned by Salman’s dad Salim Khan.
