Ghajini collects 4 million USD
Apart from these regions the film will also open in Myanma, Uganda, Malaysia and Morocco in the next coming weeks. Right now Ghajini has made its opening in UK, Ireland, Norway, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa, New Zealand, Fiji, Mauritius, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. In all these regions Ghajini has broken all the previous records!!!
It seems that crowd in overseas are actually looking for quality action films from India. But this is happening very rarely in India nowdays. Instead of focusing on such quality movies most of the producers are going for the TRP films….Nowadays producers are very much interested in making comedy movies that can make money…..
Talking about Ghajini, Ghajini is a Tamil film and had the same title in Tamil also. There are very lots of good reviews for this film and all of them review saying that each and everyone should watch this movie at least once.

Sushmita Sen soon to wed Mudassar Aziz
It is also known that Mudassar was
During the visit, Mudassar got along like a family member to Sush’s family. Actually Sush took Mudassar to her house in Kolkata to enjoy her father’s birthday on Friday. Reportedly, on Saturday they both visited Kalighat to get Kali Mata’s blessings.
Both resided at Sushmita’s house in Kolkata for around three days before Mudassar left for Bangkok.
Speaking about his visit to Sushmita’s house in Kolkata, Mudassar said that first time he had come to her dad’s house and they had gone to pray and take blessings from Kali Mata at the Kali temple. Then he also said that Sushmita went back to Mumbai and he is in Bangkok for some work.
It is known that Mudassar has always been particularly friendly and affectionate person. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that he has a bonded so well with Sushmita’s dad. It seems that wedding bells of Mudassar and Sushmita will ring soon…….. Let’s bless them…

Finally Katrina and John have called off their vibes…
There are many such reasons for the dislikes between the two. In a British poll Katrina got maximum votes than Bipasha as the Sexiest Asian Woman. Reportedly, it is known that initially John and Katrina were distinctly uncomfortable while shooting for New York. They only spoke about their work and other than that they avoided talking to each other. They didn’t even bother to say Hi – Bye to each other. The entire unit knew that this not talking is going to cause a big problem so every one tried to make them understand that they should call off their vibes and should star talking to each other. Surprisingly both of them understood that and after some days they were seen talking to each other without keeping any thing from the past in their mind….

Every Dog has his day!!!
Before they could react the big scary Rottweiler was in front of them. They just froze. And Boman was so scared that he hid behind Sandhya and Arshad.
But he had his sense of humor unbroken even at that time! He suddenly cried out saying, Maree gayu, ye kutta toh gadheda chhe.
Arshad was at his dramatic best; addressing the dog he said that - Arrey apna screen play band kar aur hame jaane de!!!!!!!!!

Darsheel of Taare Zameen Par learned a lesson!
It happened so that the film's shooting was stopped for three hours just because Darsheel was wearing a certain brand' T-shirt. One would think that there is nothing unusual if a child is wearing a certain brand's t-shirt. But that wasn't the case. Darsheel is the brand ambassador of another children's wear brand. And the brand managers created a commotion when they saw Darsheel wearing a different brand's T-shirt.
Needless to say, the managers of the brand felt that Darsheel should only wear their clothes and not their competitor's clothes as Darsheel has an exclusive contract with them. They told the producer in no uncertain terms that they can't go ahead with the shoot until they make changes in the scenes which were already shot earlier in the day.
The representative of the children's wear brand is always around Darsheel wherever he is shooting. During the shoot, the representative was sitting outside but when he saw the scenes later he immediately put his foot down.
Darsheel was puzzled. Actually, he was shocked. The poor boy didn't know where to look or what was happening,
The issue was only resolved when Percept promised the representative that they will not have Darsheel wear the competitor's T-Shirt in the film. The producers had to shoot the four scenes all over again.

Sachin impressed by Aamir’s Ghajini physique!!
Currently Aamir Khan is in Hyderabad and so he has offered Sachin to meet him and clear all his doubts if he is still not ready to accept that he was really worked out for the build. Sachin has accepted this and has assured him to meet as soon as possible to make it clear. Not only this, but Sachin has also asked Aamir to give him some body building tips. But Aamir says that already Sachin has got a nice physique so he doesn’t require any of the body building tips. He is also planning to arrange a special screening for Sachin Tendulkar to prove himself!!!

End of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi
This long serial lasted for seven years. This show generated aspirant saas-bahu tales and rotated implausible plots around human emotions. Also topics like fright, rebirth, and offers adieu after losing a court battle to Star Plus. The warped story of the traditional Virani family kept audiences across India and abroad glued to their television sets Monday-Thursday since its launch in October 3, 2000. It is true that people used to sit and watch this serial though the serial used to create almost non sense twists. There were many cases that took place because of the serial. Ladies of the houses watched the serials and started treating their in laws in the same manner. Costumes worn by the actors and the actresses in the serial were copied blindly by the public. Not only costumes but also the style of putting sindoors and bindis was imitated!!! Central character of Kyunki…., Smriti Irani aka Tulsi became a household name all over India and abroad too. The show went through a five generation leap through the years.

Salman Khan in Vijay Galani’s Veer
It is said that Salman wanted a warrior look for this film and he had to wait for 15 years to make this film. When the film was finalized he read the script and worked on the script of this film. After much thinking Salman decided that he will have long hair and a spectacular looks.
When he went to London, he followed a strict diet and exercise regime. He complete completely gave up rice. He used to eat boiled chicken and proteins only. He gave up oily and fried stuff. The results are there for everyone to see now.
Vijay Galani who is the producer of this film said that when he had signed Salman, they had not decided on the script or the director. He just signed him since he wanted to work with him and Salman gave him the idea of making this film. He knew that the film had a huge canvas that needed a lot of pre-production work. Then Anil Sharma came on board and they did research and decided on their shooting locations.
The film is set between 1860 and 1900 and they traveled all over the country to look for a story. Then they decided to make a film on the Pindari tribe from Rajasthan which did not give in to the British rule. Salman plays a member of that tribe. After much discussion they also decided on this look with long hair. Salman has worked very hard on his body and his look. They are all set to shoot the film now. The film will be completed by April or May next year and will be shot in various parts of India with a major schedule in London.

Shilpa Shetty’s sizzling item song in Dostana
She lost everything, right from all her basic requisites to creams, shampoos, conditioners, and of course her clothes. She had to buy each and everything from cosmetics to clothes within a day as she had absolutely nothing left with her and still had to carry on with her professional commitments. Fortunately, she wasn't carrying her Dostana costumes designed by Manish Malhotra.
Shilpa will now be seen in a sizzling item song in Karan Johar's production Dostana , which is being directed by Tarun Mansukhani. In the song, Shilpa will be seen on Miami's scenic beaches and emphasize of the number is a scene in which Shilpa is on a bike. Once the song ends, Shilpa starts describing the film's subject by introducing the film's two lead actors, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham.
But, Shilpa has taken the unpleasant incident with a pinch of salt. She laughed and added that it was quite a scene at the airport as all the passengers were stranded without luggage. She didn't know if she would ever see her belongings again. Only when she was done with the shooting schedule in Miami she came to know that they had traced her luggage. :)

Heroes movie releasing on 24th October
Samir Karnik is the director of this film. This movie is an effort to convey out the new age implication of nationalism. It is not needed to be soldier to love the country. The Army environment is just representative about the persons, but the film has no spotlight on war like Border movie or LoC Kargil movie.

Black and White movie
Genre: Drama
Star Cast:
Anil Kapoor - Professor Rajan Mathur
Shefali Chhaya - Roma Mathur
Anurag Sinha - Numer Qazi
Aditi Sharma
Habib Tanvir
Director(s): Subhash Ghai
Producer(s): Subhash Ghai
Music Director(s): Sukhwinder Singh
What does Black and White mean? Two Colors? Two Extremes? Two polarities? Obviously about contrasts, Black and White epitomizes the Black and White psyche- a psyche that refuses to see shades beyond the two. A mind that is literally ‘color-blind’ Imagine when the colors of rainbow confront a man whose mind has always been conditioned to see only Black and White. It is nothing short of an earth shaking experience. Same can be said of my experience while making such a realistic film which confronted my psyche with new never- before nuances- be it the story, the characters, the conflict, the drama or the final revolution. It has left me emotionally elevated- a different kind of elation from mainstream cinema.
Black and White is an emotional Drama that entertains for sure but leaves the audience with a lofty message for all humanity- in search of harmony amidst diversity. In that sense, ‘Black and White’ is an idea whose time has come. Just what the world needs, perhaps.
And when a thought-provoking theme such as this one comes straight from the heart, it holds a special place in my mind-scape as it has filled my world with so many colours!
Black and White Story - Professor Rajan Mathur, resides in Delhi with his activist wife Roma. He comes across a young boy Numair Qazi who introduces himself as a victim of communal riots in Gujarat. Feeling pity, Rajan offers him shelter in his house and soon becomes close to him. Little does Rajan know that Numair is actually a suicide bomber commissioned by a Muslim fundamentalist group to blow up the Red Fort in Delhi on 15th August during the Independence Day celebrations?

Sachin Tendulkar playing cameo role for film on Siddhivinayak
Rajiv Sanghvi, the producer of the movie titled Vighnaharta Shri Siddhivinayak said that there are many Bollywood stars that are devotees of Siddhivinayak. So when they decided to make the movie, they thought of taking in all the people who are devotees of the deity.
He also clarified that the Sachin is not acting in the movie. Sachin and his wife Anjali will be shown performing an aarti in the Siddhivinayak temple
Of course Sachin was their main focus in the movie as he is a famous cricketer and an inspiration for the country’s young people. Just before Sachin left for the Sri Lanka tour, they exposed the idea of making the movie with him. He readily agreed. It seems that they have started shooting from this week. The shoot should be over by September 5. They haven’t scheduled the movie for release during Ganesh Chaturthi as they feel that many people won’t have the time to watch the movie then. So they have decided to release the movie during Diwali. The leading actors are Parmeet Sethi and Divya Dutta, and they are also planning to rope in other prominent actors like Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar. Rajiv Johri has written the lyrics and the music has been composed by Anil Mohile. The soundtrack will feature Udit Narayan and Shankar Mahadevan. Ganesh Acharya has agreed to do the choreography of the film. Most important thing of all is that all the actors are doing the project free of cost.
To add to the star factor, Amitabh Bachchan is doing the narration, says director Yashwant Ingavale. It is certainly not going to be a regular Bollywood film. It’s not a devotional film either, but will convey a strong message to the audience. It’s about the miraculous experience of the devotees. He also said that Madhur Bhandarkar’s Page 3 who gave him the idea for the film. This is his debut Hindi movie. Earlier he has assisted Madhur Bhandarkar, and when he asked him to make this movie, he couldn’t help being enthusiastic.
Trustees from the Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai say that the idea for a film on the deity has been floating about for a while now. Subhash Mayekar, chairman of the Siddhivinayak Temple Trust said that there were many devotees who actually suggested that there should be a movie made on Lord Ganesha. It was then that one of their regular visitors, Rajiv Sanghvi, decided to make a film, which would feature Sachin in a cameo. As Sachin is also one of the regular visitors to the temple, he couldn’t say no and readily agreed. They have taken permission from the temple authorities and will shoot some part of the movie in the temple premises.

A television show inspired by Sarkar
It is the story of Rudra Pratap Singh whose role is played by Ashish Vidyarthi, an aging mafia don. This Rudra is married to Yashodhara played by Indira Krishnan who has two sons, Shankar (Iqbal Khan) and Shaurya (Yuvraj Malhotra). Gayatri (Shilpa Shinde) is Shankar's wife and Rucha Gujrathi plays Shaurya’s girlfriend.
Iqbal Khan disagrees this that the promos look similar to Sarkar
He said that Waaris is the story of a family that does not deal with drugs or contract killings. It is the family that fights for the right cause.
Iqbal Khan is doing the role of Shankar in this show where he is the eldest son. He is obedient and loyal to his father. But he is also stubborn with an out of control temper. He will react 500 times more strongly than original Iqbal would. He would probably kill a person in a fit of anger.
He also said further that he is a competent actor and the character too is not that complex. He is aware that he is not a very good actor but he knows his job. They don’t get sufficient time to do any research since it's a daily soap.
It is a very nice experience working with the production house, Ugraya. Smriti is a person, who gets creatively involved in her projects. As for Ashish, he is a fantastic actor and before each scene, they discuss it and give our best shot. Choona Hai Aasmaan was not promoted right. It changed track and did not stick to the Air Force background. He had told everyone when he joined the show that he would quit if the track lost focus and so he moved out of the show.
Iqbal says that reality shows are good to watch. He keeps on getting offers but he is not comfortable doing them. Someday, he would love to host a show.

Producers want the copyright period raised to 100 years
A few days ago, Yash Chopra, Amita Sarkar (from FICCI), Suparn Sen (Secretary, Film Federation of India) and Ravi Vallapa (United Producers Forum) met the officials from the Human Resources Development Ministry in Delhi to put in an appeal. After huge arguments and counter-arguments, the HRD Ministry and the Guild members arrived at a consensus that the present 60 year-period should be increased to 100 years.
When contacted, Suparn Sen she said that they did have a meeting with HRD Ministry officials. They have requested them to increase the period by 40 years. But they haven't heard from them yet. It is unfair that classics like Awara, Shree 420 and other films should go into the public domain. According to Pahlaj Nihalani, A film should always remain the sole property of its maker. And same assumes producer Ratan Jain.

Birthday party of Katrina Kaif
Aamir Khan had no hint that a personal party was going on at Salman’s house to bring in Katrina’s birthday. It was a private ceremony and only Salman’s family members had got together for a little celebration at Salman’s residence in Galaxy Apartment at Band Stand. Arbaaz Khan as well as Salman’s sister Alvira had brought a cake. Apart from them, Sohail Khan, Atul Agnihotri and designer Rocky S were also there at the dinner party. Salman called Aamir at around 1.30 am and asked him to come over. Aamir immediately gratified. When he reached Salman’s house he was surprised to see that a party was on in full swing.
Aamir wished Katrina and spent some time with all of them. Salman then showed him some of his recent paintings, and Aamir loved them. In fact, only Salman and Aamir went to the rooms and had a long chat. Aamir was impressed with Salman’s creativity. Sallu immediately took a pen and paper and made a sketch of Aamir in his Ghajini look. Aamir was present there for about four hours and was seen leaving the Khan residence at 5.30 am on Wednesday morning.”
The Salman -Aamir friendship certainly seems to be going from strength to strength.

Mallika Sherawat a brand with a tremendous value
Trademarks are basically distinct symbols, pictures, or words that sellers fix to distinguish and identify the origin or the identity of their products. It seems Mallika's lawyer, Sumit Agrawal confirmed the news saying that it was a long overdue and the formal procedure is currently on. They have laid claim upon the name. It is a common practice in the west and many celebrities in the west have their own trademark. Now no one can use her name or photograph to sell their product. This way she can have her own signature label, perfumes, and designer label. In India there is no particular law to restrain the misuse of your name. Yet it is unfair. She is a successful actress and model and people often use her pictures and name freely.
He further said that Mallika is a brand and a brand with tremendous value. She is now exercising her right to protect her private life, commercial value and commercial interest. It's high time that everyone here does that.

Zeenat Aman will be seen in a reality show on TV
But every time she’d run into Ekta's mom - and that is once a year - she'd tell her to please let them know when she is ready for television.
The former beauty queen, who has starred in many memorable Bollywood hits, has been offered a number of soaps in the past, which she declined to do. TV does take a lot of time. Very honestly, she wasn't willing to invest the amount of time it required. And her priority has always been her family. But this time she was approached with such an enthusiasm that she just couldn't say no. She admitted that Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket requires a more pronounced level of commitment than the average reality show. This is a reality show about discovering new talent and needs to be treated with special care. She is willing to go that extra mile for it. To be able to find fresh talent for the industry is wonderful. And Ekta has gone into it with such passion just like in everything she does. She is very much delighted to be on board with her. There was no plan, thought or conscious strategy to do or to be anything. She just did what she wanted to. At the moment both of Zeenat's sons, who were studying away from home, are back with her. And to her, having her children around is the most important thing in life. She leads a very contented and private life. She has her sons, dog and lots of greenery surrounding her. Honestly, she is treating this project as a one-off thing. She is not looking ahead at what she would be doing or not doing. At the moment she is just happy to be focusing on 'Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket'. As for soaps, maybe yes. She has never said no to anything. Basically it'd take up no more than a week. She hopes to enjoy it. It provides a platform for young people. The winners will be given a chance to work in a film produced by Ekta. Today there're such platforms for hopefuls. When she had entered, the opportunities for newcomers were so limited said the actress who was seen in such memorable hits like "Yaadon Ki Baraat", "Don", "Qurbani" and "Satyam Shivam Sundaram". Zeenat is looking forward to meeting up with her old colleague Shabana Azmi on the show. She's a colleague and they did a film together: 'Ashanti' - Shabana, Parveen Babi and she - it was loads of fun. On veteran actor Dev Anand's autobiography, which has pointed references to his friendship with her, Zeenat answers with consummate clarity. Dev saab is a senior person, and someone she respects very much. Due to him she had her first success 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna'. And subsequently she shared a long and fruitful association with his banner Navketan. However, two different individuals have differing perspectives of the same situation. She leaves it at that.

Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar
Misunderstanding between Harman and Kareena solved
He added that he would never speak like that about anyone, least of all someone who is a senior (colleague) and was gracious enough to work with him when he was just starting out. That she finally opted out of 'Love Story 2050' doesn't take away from the fact that they got along really well. Harman's distress ended while he was in Delhi for an event. On an urge he sent an SMS to Kareena, telling her how dreadful the words attributed to him about her made him feel.
Kareena, who is known to be in the US shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala's ‘Kambhakt Ishq’, reportedly replied back in a long sincere message, saying that she has been a part of the film industry long enough to know how such things work.
She is also said to have ended her message by assuring Harman she had no hard feelings towards him and was looking forward to see his film that releases Friday.
Harman is relieved and overjoyed that the matter has been sorted out.

Katrina Kaif bought a spacious bungalow in London
Katrina’s very spacious bungalow is located in the Hampstead area of London. From roles that were only an adjunct to the heroes, she has progressed as an actress in the top bracket. But, she is not the type to spend her money unwisely. She decided to invest wisely by buying a house for her family. Her mother and sisters originally lived in a small apartment, which was not too comfortable for such a large family. So Katrina wanted to buy a bigger house for them.

Opinions for Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi of Sooraj Bharjatia
As a producer, he should know if the film has touched people’s soul or not. What could be a better way of finding this out? He tells his crew honestly that he wants to hear their opinion, and they give him an honest feedback. If he will not consider his crew’s opinions after asking them for it, then all he will get will be sugarcoated lies. They are all together to make a good film and his crew understands that. Speaking about the changes done so far in Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi, he said that a technician pointed out one editing error and that has been now corrected. As a result of another technician’s observation, one scene has more background score now. There will be many more changes by the time the film finally releases around October-November. Barjatya goes a step further. According to him the families of the cast and crew will also get to watch film so that they can estimate how much the film will appeal to the entire family, or to their female audiences. Barjatya’s assistant Kaushik Ghatak directs Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi. This movie stars Sonu Sood and Ishaa Koppikar.

Chamki Chameli is the greatest failure of his life. There are about 40 versions of the opera and he is trying to create one of his own. He wishes they had the resources to create a new star for Chamki Chameli.

Vivek Oberoi and Apoorva Lakhia not getting along
Supposedly, Vivek Oberoi is not too happy with his role in Apoorva Lakhia's upcoming movie titled Mission Istanbul. It is heard that lately, Oberoi and Lakhia have spaced out absolutely. Now, Vivek is not on talking terms with Lakhia, who gave him a new lease of life with Shootout At Lokhandwala at a time he most needed. But still, Vivek has not stopped shooting with Lakhia and is completing the film in all respects. Vivek being professional is going through the remaining work on the film quite smoothly. Talking about the equation between Lakhia and Vivek reaching the lowest point, it was known that the problem started sometime ago when Vivek suddenly started feeling that Zayed Khan has been given more value in the movie and its publicity, and thus, a cold war ensued.
Lakhia and Vivek did not come together much at an awards event held in Bangkok in the first week of June. The two also had a disagreement recently. It was also known that Vivek called up Sunil Shetty who is the co-producer of Mission Istanbul to complain and that was the last straw. He complained that he deserved more prominence in the publicity, as he is a bigger star than Zayed Khan. Currently Vivek is shooting for his solo song that is a follow up on Ae Ganpat song on Apu’s set at the Film City and they are having a blast. It appears that wanting to safeguard his film, Lakhia was only slightly forthcoming. He said that Mission Istanbul has two lead actors, and they are publicising it accordingly. Oberoi has not spoken about his discomfort to him yet. Mission Istanbul is being co-produced by Popcorn Productions and Balaji Telefilms.

Mahesh Bhatt not moving ahead with movie Suicide Bomber
Consequently, Mahesh has shelved Suicide Bomber, which was supposed to be the debut film of his son Rahul. Confirming that Rahul’s debut film will not be Suicide Bomber, Mahesh said that Vishesh Films would launch him in a very big way now. They are not going ahead with Suicide Bomber. The failure of Awarapan and Dhoka has taught him that people don't want to see films that tell you why Muslim fundamentalists are what they are.
The story line of Suicide Bomber was very much on those lines. In the film, Rahul played the son of a Pakistani father and an Indian mother. He resides in London and later turns into a Muslim fundamentalist due to the events, which occur, in his life post 9/11.
In fluffy times films, which help you to escape into a fantasize world, work at the box-office, whereas realistic films don’t. Subhash Ghai’s recent film, Black & White didn’t do well despite being a decent film. However, they might make Suicide Bomber later but only for the Western audience. Mahesh’s brother, Mukesh, too confirmed and said that they are not making Suicide Bomber.
Buzz is that Anurag Basu backing out of the project is one more reason why Bhatts are not making Suicide Bomber. When asked about this, Mukesh said that Anurag Basu was supposed to direct it, but later, he developed cold feet due to some reason. Then, he got busy with Rakesh Roshan’s film, Kites. They could have gone ahead with some other director, but then, they decided to put the project on the back burner.

Gulzar back with his films
Gulzar who is forty-seven years ago veteran lyricist and poet had penned his first script but he had shelved it. Sanjay Gupta, who was busy preparing Gulzar’s biography, stumbled upon it and wanted to make the movie. Sanjay is assumed to direct the film under his banner, White Feather Films. The film is expected to be made on a budget of over Rs 100 crore.
When contacted, Sanjay Gupta confirmed the news and said that he was busy preparing Gulzar’s biography when he happened to mention this script to him. He read the two-line story description of the film and was really excited! It was brilliant, of course. He rang him up immediately, woke him up from his sleep, and told him that they are definitely making this film! Gupta further said that this would be the biggest film of her life, he told him. He is all charged up about making the film, and is surprised that Gulzar didn’t make the film earlier. He doesn’t want to reveal anything about the film, as the pre-production will take a long time. All he could say was that it is a period film about the partition. Titled Pathan, it is based on the Northwest frontier province. He is currently in Hyderabad working on his film Acid Factory, after which he will complete Alibaug, and then begin working on Pathan.
The pre-production work, though, has already begun.

Mahesh Bhatt and Mahima impersonated on Facebook
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt was in a shock when his dentist, Dr Chetan Pradhan, walked up to him during a party, a few days ago and said, ‘It was nice to see you on Facebook.' Dr Pradhan was stumped when Bhatt told him that he has not registered himself on Facebook. That’s when Dr Pradhan realised that he had been chatting online with a complete stranger. When contacted, Dr Pradhan confirmed the news and said that this happened recently. Somebody is posing as filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt on Facebook and talking to the world. It’s extremely dangerous.
On retrospection, Dr Pradhan admitted that he did sense that he was not talking to Mahesh Bhatt, but he chose to ignore it. He explained that he started talking to the man who claimed that he is Mahesh Bhatt on Facebook over the last 10 days. However, this man did not seem to know much about him, which he found funny. But, he did not probe any further for the simple reason that the account had Bhatt saab’s face and he thought it would not be right to push the questions too far.
Dr Pradhan says that he had a similar experience with Mahima Chaudhary on Facebook. Mahima is also his patient and that’s how he understood that somebody was only claiming to be Mahima on the site. Mahesh Bhatt said that this so-called technology of today’s world is hazardous. It creates illusions. It can simply undo all the good work they have done by sending out wrong information and messages. It’s a wake-up call for celebrities.

Tanuja Chandra coming up with a movie having an unpublished story
This is the first time that her mother is writing a film for her and there’s no particular reason why she hasn’t written for any of her earlier films. When she wrote Prem Rog and Chandni, Tanuja was too young to make films. Even when she wrote 1942 A Love Story for her brother-in-law Vidhu Vinod Chopra, she wasn’t ready to take the thrust. However, her mother had saved this story for her so that she could utilize it whenever she wanted to. It is quite a precious gift from her mother.
Was it the critical acclaim of Aamir that made Tanuja to sign on Rajeev Khandelwal as the film’s lead man? Tanuja begs to differ. She said that long before Rajeev made his big screen debut in Aamir, he stood out among the multitude of television actors. She remembers she had seen him in some soap while surfing and had asked who he was. Now of course, in Aamir, he has shown how effortlessly he can blend into the character. But besides that point, he’s just the actor that she requires in her film.
While Rajeev is hugely kicked with Tanuja’s passion for her work, he has requested her to move the story’s time frame from the 1970s-80s to the current times. Rajeev confirmed the news saying that he has requested Tanuja to counterpoise the story, so as to make the film accessible to a wider section of audience from the current generation. It’s a story with unending universal relevance. The film will be shot in a sleepy scenic town like Ujjain or Bhopal.

Vivek and Abhishek will now share screen space
It is heard that Vivek Oberoi and Abhishek Bachchan are now easy enough with each other to be able to share screen space. They seem to have forgiven, and are ready to forget too. The two have agreed to dance together for an item number in Apoorva Lakhia's upcoming film, Mission Istanbul. Zayed Khan will also be part of the song.
It may be recalled that Vivek was involved with Aishwarya Rai before she got married to Abhishek. Vivek and Abhishek had passionately refused to shoot in the same frame in Lakhia's last film Shoot Out at Lokhandwala.
So, the stage is set for the dushman-turned-dost to rock. The item number will be shot in Mumbai in the next few days.

Anurag Kashyap seeing Kalki Koechlin
Anurag separated from his wife two years ago. Kalki is the parallel lead in Anurag’s Dev D in which she plays Chandra. Anurag and Kalki got close during the shoot of Dev D. Confirming the news, a close friend of Kashyap said that Anurag had gone through a tough phase on his personal and professional fronts for long. But life is smiling on him again and he’s a much happier man today. His relationship with Kalki has brought a spark in his life.
Anurag is a completely dedicated lover who waits for Kalki at Prithvi Theater (Juhu) where her play Hair, is being staged. He then picks her up everyday and the two often spend time together at suburban hangouts.
Kalki, originally from Bangalore, is a theatre actor born in India to French parents. She has graduated from London School of Drama.
Not only the couple but also their families are happy with their relationship. Kalki’s family knows that she and Anurag are more than just friends, whereas Kashyap’s wife and family members are unaware of the same. In fact, Anurag’s wife is happy that Kashyap has finally moved on after their separation and is happy for the two of them. Anurag is ready to take their relationship to another level, if all goes well. In fact, on Thursday late evening he made no bones about appearing with her in a public function.
He picked up Kalki from Prithvi Theatre and the two drove in together for the premiere of The Happening in a suburban multiplex, where he so sweetly carried her purse.
When contacted, Kashyap confirmed the news saying that it is true that he is seeing Kalki, but he does not wish to say anything more about it.

Singh is King starring Akshay Kumar

New Trend in Filmmaking
Shailendra Singh said that Raftaar is a film worth Rs 25 crore and belongs to a totally different genre from PPC’s earlier films. In Maldives, we will take care of the look of the film and it’s a great chance for everyone to get to know each other before we actually start shooting.
Johnny Depp stayed in a village for four months before starting work for Pirates of the Caribbean. Even our cricketers, before an important tour, have a 10 or 12-day camp in Bangalore for practice. Similarly, he is having a camp in Maldives, where they will start the actual shoot in September, after Emraan completes Raaz 2. Raftaar is a fast-paced film based on the media. Emraan of course is the lead actor. When quizzed about the expensive nature of the trial shoot, Shailendra said that it sure is an expensive process, but he prefers having an idea and visualize what’s in store for them when they actually shoot in September.
Talking about Percept Picture Company, Emraan Hashmi said that Shamim Desai is one of the most respected names in the advertising industry and he is glad that he is bringing in such an innovative idea to filmmaking. PPC is one of the most prolific production houses and since Shamim’s ideas are in sync with PPC, he is looking forward to the trip.
