Katrina gets Punk'd

Posted by Mohan Desai On 6:53 PM 0 comments

Ajay Devgn strikes again. And this time the prankster's victim was co-star Katrina Kaif. Recently, on the sets of Prakash Jha's Rajneeti, Ajay took Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpayee into confidence and pulled a joke on his leading lady.

























The trio told the actress that it was Nana Patekar's birthday and they said that since he was in a bad mood, Katrina ought to wish him and present him with a gift box. Little did she know that the cake box actually contained some funny items.

A source from the unit reveals, "This prank was Ajay's brain child and he took everyone on the sets in confidence. The trio walked up to Katrina and told her it was Nana's birthday and that they were throwing a party for him. They told her that she had to dress modestly in Indian attire, as Nana was very particular about how women dressed."

Kat hurriedly dressed up in a salwar-kameez and walked up to Nana with a box given by Ajay. "When Nana opened the box he was shocked to find old underwear, a single chappal and a fake moustache as a gift. Kat was horrified."

A source close to Kat adds, "She was embarrassed and turned beet red. Everyone including Ajay, Arjun and Manoj started laughing hysterically. Nana finally told her it was a prank and that she should be more careful with Ajay from now on."

Aamir and Tabu in a film together

Posted by Mohan Desai On 6:51 PM 0 comments

A source tells us that Aamir has agreed to do the film as it is realistic and he wants to contribute to the cause of AIDS through this film, which is only 95 minutes long. Priyadarshan wanted to make this film last year, but he waited to see the reactions to his other realistic film, Kanchivaram. He got a positive response and now he is thrilled about his AIDS film. Aamir and Priyadarshan will team up for the first time if Aamir likes the script as much as the idea of the film.

Tabu hasn’t confirmed her presence in the film. She has previously worked with the director on Hera Pheri, Kaala Pani and Viraasat. She is presently busy with Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi’s The Legend of Kunal and romantic comedy Toh Baat Pakki.

Our source tells us that Priyadarshan will now start work on the script and he will take his time to finish it, because he wants the film to be as well-researched and sensitive as possible. He wants Aamir to be part of it because the audience knows that Aamir is very choosy about his scripts and only does quality films. Everybody goes to see an Aamir Khan film as he has one release a year. This could become another phenomenon like Taare Zameen Par.

Tabu and Aamir were part of Fanaa, but they didn't have any scenes with each other.

Kanchivaram won several awards internationally and the National Award in India. Let’s hope the AIDS film does equally well.

Karisma Kapoor is not a big fan of yoga

Posted by Mohan Desai On 6:42 PM 0 comments

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

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

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

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

Ranbir benefits from Shah Rukh being busy

Posted by Mohan Desai On 6:39 PM 0 comments




Aditya Chopra is reportedly all set to direct his next film after “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”. It will be a young love story written by him as well.

For the first time, close friend Shah Rukh Khan will not be starring in a movie directed by Adi. As SRK is busy with Farah Khan's film “Happy New Year” and Farhan Akhtar’s “Don 2”, Adi had to come up with a script that required another kind of leading man.

As the need was for a young hero, Ranbir Kapoor is said to be doing the film now.

Is Ranbir on his way to becoming the new Yash Raj Films’ favourite? Looks like he’s at least on his way. Adi’s film will be his third with YRF after “Bachna Ae Haseeno” and the upcoming “Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year”.

Aamir Khan hunting for a hot item girl?

Posted by Mohan Desai On 2:08 PM 0 comments


Rumours are rife in the industry circles that Aamir Khan wants to have an item song in his home production Delhi Belly and is on the look out for an A list actress to perform it.From what we have heard from industry sources, Aamir, the master planner wants to give his medium budget production, Delhi Belly starring nephew Imran Khan the big push by roping in a big starlet for an item song.The song is not a gimmick but a part of the film. Sources further reveal, “Apparently, Aamir first tried it out with his 3 Idiot’s co-star Kareena but since she is busy with shooting commitments she could not allot her dates. Roping of current flavour of the season Priyanka Chopra also crossed his mind but it seems it may be too much of an ego issue for him, since his request for a screen test for her during the casting of Ghajini had not gone down to well for her. Now it remains to be seen who shall be finally be the one who shall be chosen by Mr. Perfectionist.”Knowing his penchant for perfectionism perhaps a reality dance show hunt ala Shah Rukh Khan (he chose cheerleaders for his IPL team) might work? But then A list actress would certainly not participate in it.

Simon Cowell’s NBC show “America’s Got Talent” is finally making its way to India but has yet not found an appropriate host.The channel launching it in India wants a glamorous face to host this show.Preity was supposed to do the show and both the parties had almost worked out the agreement but as she was to get busy with IPL, Preity did not take up the project.Later, Aishwarya was approached with the same project and was offered five crore rupees but she too refused stating date problems.We wonder whether it is really the lack of time or these ladies are just scared to host a talent show on TV.

Dev Patel & Freida Pinto caught kissing!

Posted by Mohan Desai On 12:38 PM 0 comments


Slumdog Milliionaire on screen couple Dev Patel and Freida Pinto could not keep their real romance under wraps for long as they were spotted kissing during a dinner date in Israel.
Patel reportedly jetted to Tel Aviv, Israel to visit Pinto on the set of her new movie Miral, and the pair was later caught sharing a kiss during a romantic dinner, contactmusic.com reported.
The couple who played childhood sweethearts in the Oscar-winning movie, have frequently dismissed rumours they are dating for real, even after their co-star Anil Kapoor hinted they were romantically involved.
Kapoor had previously said, "When I meet them I feel there is something happening. (I think) this is the beginning of something exciting happening. They definitely make a great pair. Both of them look very good together."
And thereafter came a reaction from 24-year-old actress who insisted "We're not dating," while 18-year-old Patel added, "No, we're not seeing each other."

Salman to give discount in recession

Posted by Mohan Desai On 2:17 PM 0 comments


Industry sources say that Salman Khan (controversy’s favourite child) is on paper, the highest paid Bollywood actor.“Salman has reportedly been signed for London Dreams for Rs 30 crores,’’ says our source. We messaged Vipul Shah but he remained unavailable for comment. The source however maintains that Salman may re-negotiate his price; and actually offer the makers a discount because of the global meltdown.The interesting thing in this whole narrative is not what Salman will ultimately charge for London Dreams; but the fact that the actor has allegedly charged Boney Kapoor only Rs seven crores for the film Wanted Dead Or Alive.Our source maintains that, “Salman knew Boney was in a spot and he decided to bail him out; hence he has been so reasonable with his pricing for Boney’s film.”Know-alls also insist that Salman may get a share in the profits made from Wanted...; however that is not priority for the actor, who has done Boney’s film only to help him tide over a financial crunch.Subhash Ghai who worked with Salman in Yuvvraaj says, “I don’t know what Salman is charging other producers. All I can say is that he is a boy with a golden heart. If he finds his producer is in a spot, then he will definitely reduce his fee or even waive it off. But he must be convinced about a situation. This guy thinks with his heart.’’Incidentally it is being said that the A-list actors have started to take cuts in their remuneration. Sanjay Dutt is said to have been paid Rs15 crores upfront for a two-hero project that is nearing completion. “Yet today Sanjay has negotiated a film for Rs 4 crores,” says a trade analyst.Akshay Kumar, who had joked saying “My wife Tina knows that the only thing that turns me on is the smell of money”’ has also apparently offered his friend Ratan Jain a discount in pricing for his film De Dhana Dhan. It is learnt that Akshay was to charge Rs 44 crores originally for the film; but the price he will now take is nowhere close to that amount.Amod Mehra says, “There is a character actor who still refuses to do a film for less than a crore (his market price) and there are a few others too who are adamant about pricing; but most of the sensible guys have understood the crisis situation.”A film corporation that has recently shut its feature film division; and is just completing work on their pending projects is rumoured to have paid Sunny Deol Rs 3.75 crores. And, Arjun Rampal post Rock On has pushed up his price to Rs 2.5 crores.“However most actors have realised that their producers can no longer sell their films for the monies that they did a year ago; and have re-negotiated their contracts,’’ says film-maker Sanjay Gupta. Double digits may now be hard to come by even in a superstar’s pay packet; at least till the market condition improves.

Ranbir-Deepika, only good for films

Posted by Mohan Desai On 1:16 PM 0 comments


The speculation about the state Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s relationship continues.Days after Ranbir Kaboor reportedly criticised Deepika’s dress sense in public and mother Neetu Singh passed her off as just a friend, it’s now the hero’s sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, who refuses to acknowledge the couple.“Ranbir and Deepika are young, talented people and are quite poised and charming,” says Riddhima. When questioned about whether she accepts the two as more than friends, Riddhima says, “They make a good on-screen pair and their chemistry is fine.” But what about their off-screen romance? “I’ve never seen them together in that sense, so I don’t go by the media reports. Moreover, I stay in Delhi and don’t want to comment on this.”

Fans miss Bollywood at IPL opening

Posted by Mohan Desai On 1:09 PM 0 comments


Where was the Bollywood entertainment or "taste of India" that the Indian Premier League had promised repeatedly in the run-up to the official opening of the tournament in Cape Town on Saturday (April 18) night?That was the question on the lips of many Bollywood fans at the colourful ceremony at a packed Sahara Newlands Stadium here, as a host of artists entertained the crowd with items as diverse as traditional drums from both countries and circus acts from Europe entertained them.But the closest sign of anything Bollywood or Indian on the field, besides the teams, was a tabla being played by a South African artist accompanying the traditional African dancers on their drums.Even the music featured in all the entertainment items did not have any Bollywood music in it.Fans did get repeated glimpses of Bollywood stars and team owners Shah Rukh Khan and Shilpa Shetty on the big screens during the two matches, including the disappointment on Shilpa's face as she watched, together with her mother and sister from the suites, how the chances of her Rajasthani Royals team defending its title slipped away from the Bangalore Royal Challengers.Shah Rukh was shown with his wife Gauri and their two children, at times Shah Rukh doting over his son as the latter made comments about the game.But that was the closest that the fans got to see of Bollywood.Off the field, there were very short interviews on television with the first two winners in the search to find the next new face of Bollywood from among South African girls.The young women, identified by the interviewer only as Raeesa and Tasneem, both from Cape Town, just gave monosyllabic answers to the questions posed by him as they admitted to being Shah Rukh Khan fans and being "nervous" or "wow" about the possibility of starring in a movie with him.A total of 50 winners will be chosen from the crowds at every one of the eight venues around the country that are to host IPL matches.One finalist from each venue will be chosen, leaving eight winners to be hosted and feted at The Wanderers in Johannesburg at the final of the IPL 2009 tournament on May 24. The ultimate winner will be announced during the final.IPL fans worldwide will also be able to cast their votes for the winner via the IPL website.

In a sting operation conducted by the website it said that in a bid to escape poverty and life in the slum Rafiq Qureshi had put Rubina up for adoption demanding a whopping 200000 pounds from an Arabian family.Rafiq however denied the claim and said that he had gone to the hotel to meet an Arabian sheikh to discuss about an ad film and had no plans to sell off his daughter. The website had claimed that Rafiq had offered his daughter to the undercover journalists who were posing as the sheikh. Rafiq had said that he was doing this to have a better life for himself his family and Rubina. The website alleged that Rafiq also blamed Hollywood for pushing him into this deal and said his daughter was no ordinary kid now and deserved a Special life. Rubina’s biological mother, Kushi, however accused Qureshi of selling their child for money. She demanded that her daughter be sent to a boarding school for a better life. Well all we can say is that Rubina's life is not as ordinary as that of slum kid anymore.

Salman Khan rescues Ajay Devgan!

Posted by Mohan Desai On 10:42 AM 0 comments
Mumbai: Ajay Devgan is known to be the most chilled-out person on the sets, but he too apparently lost his cool on the sets of London Dreams when he found out that the outfits he needed to wear for some crucial scenes in the movie were not fitting him.
Salman Khan lends his clothes and becomes Ajay Devgan's stylist for the shoot. The situation was saved by Salman Khan's timely intervention who gave Ajay outfits from his personal collection which was luckily similar to those that Kajol's hubby was supposed to flaunt.
A source close to the development informs, "Ana Singh is the costume designer for the film and she has worked with Ajay for many years now. She had made all the outfits for the actor but the goof up happened when Vipul Shah (the director) while strolling in London suddenly loved something from Zara, picked it up for Ajay and did not check with Ana thinking that since the size was the same, it would fit Ajay well."
The insider adds, "On the day of the shoot, to everybody's shock Ajay's wardrobe was found to be ill-fitting. Nothing could be done about it and it was upsetting, but thankfully Salman came to the rescue and became Ajay's stylist for those shots by giving his personal clothes. He saved the day."
Confirming this, Vipul says, "Ajay is always cool as a cucumber and so we did not have any problems from his end as he was willing to go ahead with the shoot if alterations made things better. The problem was with an overcoat which we thought would fit Ajay fine but after Ajay wore it, the coat was hanging on him. We were upset as without it the look that we wanted to stick to for the film was getting ruined. At that moment Salman rescued our film's scenes as he gave Ajay something that he was carrying and it was quite similar to what we wanted. He became Ajay's stylist for all the shots. Ajay too returned the favour. He gave his own clothes to Salman during shooting."
