There is news that Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha are in rivalry once again. This time the reason looks like little more personal. We have heard recently that Bachchan has taken his job as a blogger very seriously has posted a sharp comment on his website. The renowned actor has reacted to a comment made by Shatrughan Sinha over the nominations of a forthcoming award ceremony, which Bachchan supports. Sinha had allegedly stated that the award does not really have any reliability and it was all right that Taare Zameen Par was not nominated.
Bachchan wrote that he read a comment from his colleague and friend and neighbor, Shatrughan Sinha. It reportedly quoted his reactions to the nomination list of the awards, wherein he has purportedly stated that 'Sab kissika beta hai, ya kissiki bahu, ya kissiki biwi’, and the media adding their explanation to it by stating that Sinha's comment was directed to a particular family of The Guru fame. Bachchan added that he believes what is being suggested is that there is favoritism or some 'fixing' in the choice of the nominations carried by the awards committee. And as the report concluded, the indication was towards one family, not difficult to guess which one. He also said that he was surprised at this observation, especially since, during the time of the National Award selection for Best Actress in one of the past years, when the award went to Raveena Tandon, it was alleged that Mr Shatrughan Sinha's wife, the lovely and graceful Poonam, a great friend of Raveena's mother had recommended the appointment of MacMohan, the brother of Raveena's mother, on the board of the Jury (Structured by the Government in power - in this case the BJP, of which Mr Sinha was a Minister of State ) in order that he may cast his vote in favour of Raveena Tandon. If this alleged story is true then he values Mr Shatrughan Sinha's alleged statement of "Sab kissika beta, kissiki beti, kissiki biwi"
Getting a little more personal with Sinha, Bachchan also wrote that he has seen some very encouraging reports of the film, where his son is being introduced in the great Industry. May he prosper and succeed even more than his illustrious father and may he never have to face a slighted accusation of 'fixing', when his name comes up for an award in the future!! Not to be left behind, Shatrughan Sinha reacted to Amitabh Bachchan's allegation and said that anger seems to have taken over the maturity of an actor like Amitabh Bachchan and that is probably the reason he has overreacted to his statement with regards to Taare Zameen Par. He recalled his statement and said that he has not taken any names and there are a number of film families in this industry. He really doesn't know why he thinks it is his family Sinha is talking about.
When told that Bachchan has stated that Raveena Tandon got the award only because Sinha's wife is a good friend of the actress, Sinha said that is exactly the point he is trying to drive home. But having said that there is one point he really would want to make there and that was that he agreed his hand was there in the award, but it was not like Mulayam's feet, which was there in every award the Uttar Pradesh government has bestowed only on one family. And one can easily guess which family he was talking about.

Mallika Sherawat and Rahul Bose in Mughal-E-Azam!!!
It is very difficult task to shoot with a sexy distress signal on the streets. And things only get more difficult if the actress happens to be as hot as Mallika Sherawat. Ask producer Ratan Jain.
It almost became impossible to shoot the scenes with Mallika who was being mobbed by all her fans. No matter what the film's unit did to keep the crowd away, Mallika's fans just refused to let her shoot as they wanted to take a close look at her.
Finally, producer Ratan Jain ended up hiring almost 100 security guards to protect Mallika and keep the crowd away. Raan Jain confirmed and said, "Yes, it was a pretty critical situation as we were responsible for Mallika's safety. We did hire 100 security guards from a local agency to protect her."

Bipasha Basu’s Unforgettable Tour!!!
Wizcraft International Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, directors of the Bachchan’s The Unforgettable Tour, is planning to take a legal action against Bipasha Basu for drawing out of the tour at the last minute. Wizcraft on condition of ambiguity said that what Bipasha did was completely unprofessional and bad. It's not just unscrupulous but illegal too. How could she back out from the tour after signing the contract? Bipasha was to accompany the Bachchans, Lara Dutta and Ritesh Deshmukh. It was quite shocking when Bipasha, who had attended The Unforgettable’s press conference, held in Yorkshire last year to promote the event along with Big B, Ash, Abhishek, Lara, Ritesh and Shaimak Dawar, suddenly hiked her fee three days after the release of her film Race.
When they refused to pay her that astronomical figure, she backed out. Not just us, even Mr. Bachchan tried compelling her but she didn't nudge. They had no option but to sign bigger actors instead. Though they were too caught up with the tour, they can't take it lying down. She can't take them for a ride, now they’ve decided to sue her.
The latest update on Unforgettable's is that Madhuri Dixit, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta have joined the bandwagon. When contacted about the plans of suing Bipasha for a breach of contract, Sabbas Joseph, Director, Wizcraft International Entertainment didn't deny the fact but said that she has no comments to make, she is too busy with our tour which has just got bigger. When we have names like Preity Zinta and Akshay Kumar who has the time and the inclination to talk about something petty. We have bigger and better things to do than to waste our time over non-productive and non-constructive people.

Shahrukh Khan’s helping hand!!!
It is heard that Shah Rukh is helping his friend Salman Khan with his upcoming TV show, Dus Ka Dum. Shahrukh is known to be the television's most popular host in recent times. It is known that Shahrukh has just started working for his forthcoming film, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. He has heard the script of the sugary love story, written by his close friend and filmmaker Aditya Chopra and accordingly have started working on the character. Usually he gets working in the car and does his references. Developing the walk of my character is very fundamental. If you have been watching his films, each and every character has a distinct walk and run. He has just recorded a hip-hop song along with Bappi Lahiri. He points out his different gaits in Kabhi Alvida Naa kehna, Chak De, Don etc.
The generous actor has also made a string of guest appearances in his friends' films - Krazzy 4 and Bhootnath. In circles where it really matters, the buzz is that Shah Rukh's item song in Krazzy 4 is pulling crowds to the theatres. But he has not seen his own song yet. He said that when he is doing a guest appearance he doesn't ask any questions. He likes to be treated like a guest on the sets and gives his best wishes to the makers of the film. He is not attached to it.
The actor doesn't take any fee for such friendly appearances, but Rakesh Roshan forced him to take his remuneration for the song. Shah Rukh elaborated and said that Rakeshji was very sweet. He said that if he said no, he would never speak with him again. Even Duggu (Hrithik) made him swear that he would not say 'no' to the money.
He moves on to produce his next film, Billo Barber. Director Priyadarshan and the actor had problems getting an actress to play the barber's wife in the film. After Vidya Balan and Amisha Patel begged out of it, Lara will play the part now. He personally spoke to both Vidya and Amisha. They were not too keen on playing a mother on screen. But he felt that today's young breed of actors shouldn't have these issues. If it's a good role, you should take it up.
