CELEBRATE SUMMER
LOWER YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENTS. Uday Chopra is ready to get married but sources close to the actor say that his girlfriend Nargis Fakhri isn’t, even though she’s serious about him. According to an insider, Nargis told her 39-year-old beau that she wants to focus on her career and isn’t ready to get married so soon, which is why she’s doing backto-back films now. In fact, an informer also says that the reason Uday and Nargis’ marriage rumours have been doing the rounds of gossip dailies for a while now is because the actor is ready to settle down.

Not long ago, the two warring Khans surprised everybody by sharing a warm hug at Baba Siddiqui’s iftar party. And now we hear both the superstars are coming together for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kick but SRK has no role in film. Confused? Read the full story…. After the famous Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan hug, we were hoping the Karan Arjun co-stars would work together in a film soon. Well, the two actors will but indirectly.

franchise,” Rakesh Roshan told reporters here. The filmmaker, known for directing films such as ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’ and ‘Karan Arjun’, launched Hrithik with hit movie ‘Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai’ in 2000. “I will start working on the sequel soon. Due to public demand, we may include some sidekick characters as well,” said Rakesh Roshan.
Khan will be working on the visual effects of Salman starrer Kick. Interesting, no? Though SRK and Sallu aren’t sharing screen space, we are glad the two are at least warming up to each other for now. And who knows if their dostana blossoms, they might end doing a film together. Fingers crossed! As of now, the Dabangg Khan is busy with his brother Sohail Khan’s film Jai Ho. The Being Human star will start shooting for Sajid’s Kick only after he wraps up Jai Ho.

Actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan said that he is planning a ‘Krrish 3’ sequel but in the future will work with Hrithik on a fresh script outside the ‘Krrish’ franchise. “I’m currently not working on a film outside the ‘Krrish’ franchise with Hrithik, but I will do a film in the future.

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan was ‘stumped for words’ when he saw Hollywood stalwart Robert De Niro in attendance at the third edition of the annual festival ‘THiNK 2013’, held in Goa, where Big B was invited to express his ideas and thoughts. Taking to Twitter Bachchan Sr. wrote, “Just finished my conversation at THINK..exciting and exhilarating .. and in the audience Mr Robert DiNero !! (Stumped for words !) (sic).” He also took to his blog to recount his experience, writing, “It is the THINK Fest that brings me here (Goa) on invitation. An annual event which
Kajol likely to make a comeback in husband Ajay Devgn’s film
brings together many of the trusted and the learned, to share, to express their ideas and thoughts with those that travel from across the globe as audiences, including tonight at my discourse a certain Mr D’Niro of such universal fame that it was a moment of immense pride to find him seated before me ...” “A relaxed Robert D’Niro of so many distinguished films and characters that he played in his illustrious career, and still continues to do so, simple and down to earth, accommodating and friendly ... a joy and honor to meet him and spend some time with him privately ...,” he further added. From what we hear, Deepika Padukone’s trainer, Yasmin Karachiwala, is charging the producers of Happy New Year a whopping Rs.35,000 a day to train the actress during the Dubai schedule. Yes, like us, the producers are also reeling under the shock…
Kajol will soon be seen playing a lead in a project by her actor husband Ajay Devgn’s production company. According to reports, Ajay Devgn’s production company is working on a couple of projects that would feature 39-year-old Kajol. “We have locked on a script. I liked the idea and the concept but nothing is finalised yet. It is too early to talk about it,” she told reporters at an event. Kajol, known for her memorable performances in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Gupt, Dushman, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Fanaa, My Name Is Khan, among others, took a sabbatical from full-time acting in 2001 after her marriage to Devgn. She returned to films with 2006 romantic thriller Fanaa. After that she did many cameo appearances. Her last prominent role was in Karan Johar’s home production We Are Family (2010).

What to expect when celebs like Sharon Stone, Hilary Swank & Aishwarya Rai gather under one roof! An event like amfAR India Gala brought all these actresses together along with the other glamorous ladies. Let’s see who struck the right fashion chord on the red carpet. Aishwarya Rai, who supports the cause and amfAR, was the main attraction of the grand party. The actress chose an anarkali by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla for the event. The beige-coloured dress was a splendid piece, and looked perfect on Aishwarya, making her look slimmer. If Aishwarya kept it ethnic, other actresses like Sonal Chauhan, Nargis Fakhri, Sophie Choudry went for gowns. Sonal was indeed the stunning of all in a red Amit Aggarwal ensemble, flashing her legs and even back. For Nargis Fakhri it was a gold-and-black gown with mirror-work by AbuSandeep. The actress carried off the heavy dress quite well without accessorizing it much. Coming to the Hollywood beauties, both Sharon Stone and Hilary Swank didn’t go for flashy outfits and wore basic black gowns. Catch here the best dressed celebs at amfAR India Gala:

Actor Aamir Khan, who is very good friends with Salman Khan, said he was tired of asking Salman to get married and that he would like to see Katrina and Salman together in real life. “I have been telling him (Salman) for so long to get married but he is not listening to me. Maybe if someone else (looking at Katrina) requests him, he may agree to it. I want to see Katrina and Salman together in real life,” Aamir said at a press conference held to launch the title song of Dhoom 3. He asked Katrina: “Have you ever asked him?” Katrina was seen blushing. Aamir asked her again, and Katrina said: “I am speechless. I am sorry.” Salman and Katrina were reportedly dating each other during the beginning of Katrina’s career in Bollywood but they never made it official.
God knows from where the universal superstar Amitabh Bachchan must be finding time to get indulged in so many things and still find time to do justice to each. No doubt that he is one of the busiest stars today, the fact also remains that he is one of the most active people on the social networking platforms. His recent ‘achievement’ is that his twitter account has now crossed a whopping 7 million followers! Tweeting about which, the Big B said, “Thank you all. Its 7 million plus on twitter”.
Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is currently busy working on his upcoming film Happy New Year. After the huge success of Chennai Express, Shahrukh Khan did not get a break because he kept promoting the movie non-stop. Soon after that, he began with his next project. It looks like the actor is tired from the hectic schedules and therefore plans for a break after Happy New Year. However, before this far away break, we hear that the 48-year-old actor is all set to build a six-pack look for Happy New Year. The movie is directed by Farah Khan and it also features Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Vivan Shah and Boman Irani.

Actress Kareena Kapoor, a graduate, regrets not studying further. “Be it a village or a city, education is very important and it always comes into you,” said Kareena while on the sets of the seventh season of “Kaun Banega Crorepati”. “(Education) is one of the most important things and we should always encourage children to be educated, go to school, and go to college,” she further added. Kareena entered filmdom in 2000 with “Refugee” when she was 20 years old. After that she got so busy with her movie shoots that studies took a backseat. She studied law for some time but didn’t complete the course. “I think I couldn’t study as I have always
been interested in movies. But today I regret that. It is important to be well read, at least a little bit,” told the 33-year-old who has done movies like “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham”, “Jab We Met”, “Omkara” and “Golmaal 3”.
Salman Khan’s love life has always been a point of consternation for the media and his fans alike. According to recent reports, Salman Khan has not broken up with Romanian girlfriend and actress, Lulia Vantur. Apparently Lulia was recently seen visiting Salman’s house. Is Luila finally the one to make Salman settle down?
Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who is playing the five-time world-boxing champion Mary Kom in a forthcoming biopic, says she shares a slice of life with the legendary sportswoman. “Her story is same as that of mine. I too struggled when I came in the industry and cried alone. It is basically the story of every girl, who has a dream,” Chopra said. The film is about the trials and tribulations of Mary, who was born to landless farmer in Manipur and subsequently rose to make a mark for herself as a boxer. “What fascinates me about her is that I wanted to tell the story of real Mary,” the actress said, adding that the story about the female sportswoman has never been told through the medium of films in India. Although Mary is a boxer, she is a typical girl who wears nail paint beneath her boxing gloves, Chopra said. “She loves singing, watching movies and everything that a girl likes,” the actress added. The film on Mary Kom would be targeted at both the desi and international markets with the movie being made in both Hindi and English.

KJo gets Ranbir, Kareena together
Karan Johar has managed the casting coup that Zoya Akhtar couldn’t. The filmmaker turned chat show host has roped in the Kapoor cousins, Ranbir and Kareena, for the third season of his popular chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’. Karan didn’t have to do a lot of
12
convincing as they both are very fond of him. According to a host, “This season Karan is focusing on creating never-seenbefore pairings on the show, stars who have never made an appearance together. Though Ranbir and Kareena have been individual guests, they have not sat on the couch together.” Zoya had earlier tried to cast the star siblings in her next film but after the two turned it down, the roles eventually went to Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh. Meanwhile Karan took to Twitter to tell his followers that he is shooting with Ranbir and Kareena for the second episode of the season. Buzz is that Karan is trying to woo Salman Khan for the opening episode.

It’s easy to be carried away by the glamour of the film industry but Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor says she and her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan, are very much in touch with reality “Saif is still in touch with his professors and teachers. These days people party with the same industry people and want to be with them but we don’t attend many parties. It’s important
Whatever the ‘Dabangg’ Salman Khan does, he does with style! If latest reports are to be believed, his upcoming ‘Jai Ho’ is to be the most expensive remake of a South film.
‘Jai Ho’, earlier titled ‘Mental’, will be remade from the original script of ‘Stalin’, which was purchased by Sohail and team for a whopping Rs 4.3 crore. Naturally, Sohail remained tight-lipped about the deal, but sources close to the project confirm that this is the highest amount that has ever been paid for remake rights of a South Indian film.

that we should meet normal people too,” Kareena said. “We don’t like to only be in touch with the industry people. We work, but we are in touch with our college friends too. So we are in touch with reality, or else in this industry and in this glamour world, one can easily get carried away,” she said. The actress, who comes from Bollywood’s famous Kapoor family, says she has never chased success in her life.
“I am very dedicated to my work but at the same time I have also lived my life. Each actor gets so lost in the competition and the glamour of this industry that they are always chasing success. I don’t think I have ever chased success. “I have lived my life along with my career. My parallel life is always there with me. I don’t go away from reality,” added Kareena, who made her Bollywood debut in 2000.
The director of the original film ‘Stalin’, A R Murugadoss (of ‘Ghajini’ fame), had wanted to remake his own film in Hindi. However, he was caught up with other projects, so Sohail snapped up the opportunity. In the initial stages, there was even talk of A R Murugadoss coming on board for Salman’s Bollywood version of the film. But since the director was busy with ‘Thuppakki’, he decided to part with the remake rights. Will ‘Jai Ho’ be the next feather in Salman Khan’s remake cap, post the blockbuster successes of his previous South remakes ‘Wanted’, ‘Ready’ and ‘Bodyguard’? WAIT AND WATCH!

2, expressed that she is looking forward to watching the highlyanticipated film “It’s a franchise that all of us have enjoyed. It looks like it’s going to be fun and I am definitely looking forward to Dhoom 3.” Written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, Dhoom 3 is expected to make a whopping Rs 300 crore at the box-office! The action flick is also being dubbed into Telgu and Tamil. With a stellar star cast, the film aims to set a new benchmark amongst action films in Indian cinema. Aamir, plays Sahir--the clown thief, and Katrina essays Aaliya--the acrobat diva in the film. Uday Chopra will reprises his role as Ali Akbar. Dhoom 3 has a new plot and story line even if some the characters are the same. The action thriller follows the story of police inspector Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and his lovable sidekick, Ali (Uday Chopra), in their characteristic fight against crime. This time they come up against the charismatic and versatile, Aamir Khan, who will take up the mantle of the anti-hero. The movie will attract different moviegoers, but most certainly male audiences seeking a great action film. “I am totally excited. It’s like a boy’s thing...what we grown up wanting to do, that is, play

with guns, do stunts on bikes and romance hot women. And that’s exactly what Dhoom 3 is ... all Dhoom is. I am sure it’s going to be an amazing experience and fun.” Uday Chopra says. The biggest trump card is Aamir Khan, who makes this Bollywood blockbuster a must-watch. “Aditya Chopra is confident about Dhoom 3, and even I am very happy with this film,” said Aamir Khan, who plays the character of Sahir, a performer in a contemporary circus and a thief on the sly. The perfectionist actor who has played many fantastic characters, has surpassed himself in his villainous role in Dhoom 3. “Aamir Khan has pushed the envelope...he has gone beyond. I think this will be his most brilliant and memorable role,” Abhishek Bachchan said. Katrina Kaif said she had her doubts about working with the perfectionist of Bollywood. “Initially, I was skeptical to work with Aamir Khan because of his planned and meticulous nature...so I was nervous. But when we started working I found him amazing. He is a genius actor and treats his co-stars well,” Katrina said. On the other hand, Aamir made it no secret that his hopes and expectations about Dhoom 3 are pinned on to his co-star. “If Katrina is there in a film then it has to be a super hit. When I was signing
Dhoom 3, I was told about this,” he said. First it was Esha Deol’s bikini avatar that was talk of the town in Dhoom. Then Aishwarya Rai Bachchan managed to make the nation go crazy with her sexy and sultry style in Dhoom 2. Now, Katrina Kaif sets the silver screen on fire with her hot look in Dhoom 3. The sexy diva, who has many feathers to her cap, is excited about the film. Kaif bagged the role in spite of a tough competition from other actresses. “I am extremely blessed with the way my career is shaping up. I feel I got much more than I had thought. Competition is a good thing as it helps you to better your performance. Any competition is good,” said Katrina Kaif Composer of Dhoom 1 and 2, Pritam returns to Dhoom 3. The music is racy and pulsating. After the Dhoom 3 songs were released, Karan Johar tweeted, “The Dhoom 3 music video is OUTSTANDING! It’s a master class of dance, styling and glamour!!!” Packed with chase sequences and cool songs, big name celebrities and fanfare, Dhoom 3 is bigger than Christmas. Book your date with Aamir, Katrina and Abhishek this holiday season. Come watch Dhoom 3 at Albion Cinemas, York Cinemas & Woodside Cinemas starting Dec 20th, 2013!

Actor Rajinikanth’s next film, ‘Kochadaiiyaan,’ is slated for theatrical release on January 10. The audio of the much-awaited movie is set for a December 12 release, coinciding with the actor’s birthday. There has been huge speculation over the film’s release. The filmmakers have said already that its prolonged state of being ‘in production’ is because of the latest techniques such as ‘performance capture’ being employed for the film. Rajinikanth and Deepika Padukone play the lead roles in the movie. Apart from them, the star cast includes Sarath Kumar, Nasser, Jackie Shroff and Shobana. Veteran actor Nagesh, who died in 2009, will make a screen appearance as a ‘synthespian’ brought back to life using computer animation techniques. The film’s music has been scored by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, and the single ‘Enge Pogudho Vaanam,’ sung by veteran playback singer S.P. Balasubramanian with national award winner Vairamuthu’s lyrics, has already been a big hit on radio stations and sales charts. The makers of ‘Kochadaiiyaan’ released a teaser in September. The film is expected to release in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi initially. There are also plans to release it in English and Japanese later.

Why did Ankita Lokhande LOOSE ‘Happy New Year’ to Deepika Ms Lokhande who shot to fame with popular daily soap Pavitra Rishta was the original choice for Farah Khan’s Happy New Year. But then why did she lose the plum project to Dippy? Read on to find out… It would have been a dream Bollywood debut for Ankita Lokhande had she bagged Farah Khan’s Happy New Year which stars Shahrukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Boman Irani. But things didn’t work out for Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend courtesy of her short temper and rude behavior. We hear Farah wanted the leading lady for her film to be Maharashtrian and hence thought Ankita was the perfect choice for her film. But our khufiya khabroo tells us that when the Tees Maar Khan director learned about Ms Lokhande’s highhanded behavior, she decided to cast someone else. That’s how Deepika Padukone bagged the film. Well, Sushant’s ladylove can’t blame anyone but herself for the loss, right? We think Ankita should learn how to stay grounded from her beau or else her Bollywood career may never take off!

Passion is the force that drives romance. And the fantastical world of Bollywood cannot think of enough larger-than-life ways to personify its allure. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a slave to opulence. Whether it’s production aesthetics or emotional heft, simplicity doesn’t work for the man behind Devdas and Saawariya. The leading pair of his hit movie, Ram Leela -- Deepika
Padukone and Ranveer Singh, has attracted a huge amount of attention for their unrestrained, wild and restless intimacy in the movie and promos. While the Gujarat-inhabiting Romeo and Juliet can barely keep their hands off each other, they’re not the first ones to depict this excitable category. Here are some of the most notable highstrung, reckless romances to precede it.
Shuddh Desi Romance Frothy chemistry of Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra notwithstanding, the obvious lust factor between them following an instantaneous live-in arrangement is nothing short of bold. Nor are the nonconformist conclusions of this refreshing study in the evolution of contemporary relationships.
Rockstar Ranbir Kapoor’s careerbest delivery has him play a man who takes to the path of self-destruction following a broken heart. His devil-may-care pursuit of the woman he loved, lost and lured again even as their torrid affair defied all social norms, wasn’t meant to end on a pleasant note. Love stories like his seldom do.
Raanjhanaa Hate it, love it but you cannot ignore Dhanush’s fervour to woo Sonam Kapoor even after 15 crackling slaps across his cheek. Eventually, of course, his obsession and her manipulation lead to a catastrophe in romance at its darkest. Ishaqzaade There’s much aggression (and regression) in yet another retelling of Romeo and Juliet set against two small towns of North India in Ishaqzaade. Family foes turned feverish lovers engage in extreme expressions of affection, betrayal, redemption and eternal union.

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam There’s instant sexual chemistry between Salman Khan’s Sameer and Aishwarya Rai’s Nandini in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. These intense, flirtatious encounters set the scene for Nandini’s willingness to defy social ties and seek Sameer in a foreign land. It’s like her lovesick alter ego dramatically declares to her concerned mother, ‘Usne meri aatma ko chua hai, Ma.’ Dil In our movies, college romances are either cute or headstrong. And that’s pretty much the equation between Aamir Khan’s Raja and Madhuri Dixit’s Madhu in Indra Kumar’s blockbuster, Dil. First they humiliate each other employing the most brutal schemes, then they follow in love and become physically inseparable leading to bleeding wrists, broken bones, rebellious elopements and truckloads of tamasha.
Silsila Yash Chopra achieved the most memorable casting coup of all time by roping in Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha to play a smitten pair in a love triangle featuring wife Jaya as the reason why they need to go separate ways. But here’s the real bombshell, Big B and Rekha’s reel avatars continue their clandestine, scorching affair even after marriage with the audacious argument, ‘Dil kehta hai duniya ke har ek rasm utha dein. Deewar jo hum dono mein hai, aaj gira dein. Kyon dil mein sulaghte rahein, logon ko bataa dein: Haan humko mohabbat hai, mohabbat hai, mohabbat.
Dil Se.. It’s love at first sight for a radio journalist. Only the object of his fanatical fascination is a gorgeous, dangerous suicide bomber. This deadly technicality, however, doesn’t come in the way of the strange couple who believes ‘Mere jeena junoon. Mera marna junoon.’

After breaking many box office records, “Chennai Express” hit the small screens with a bang. Zee TV recently threw a grand party for the cast and crew of the film, following the overwhelming response from the audience when it was premiered on television. The Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer reportedly earned the highest top rating point on television, pushing the channel to the top position by garnering a total viewership of 19.5 million when it was premiered. Deepika was quoted saying “We all have worked very hard. This film has been special for all of us and I guess when you make a film that comes straight from the heart with lot of honesty and love, I guess this is the result. I’m happy that I am getting to meet Rohit and Shah Rukh and everyone who has been associated with “Chennai Express”. As I was out when the film got released and I was not present even during the success party, I think this is my moment to meet everyone again,”
Bollywood actor-turned-producer John Abraham says he prefers to produce quality movies rather than aiming at the Rs 100 crore club. John, 40, produced films like ‘Vicky Donor’ and self-starrer ‘Madras Cafe’. Both the films were received well by the audience. “To me quality of a movie matters and not Rs 100 crore club,” Abraham said. The ‘Dostana’ star is now shooting his next home production ‘Banana’. Refusing to divulge much about the story line of the movie, he said the film is being directed by debutant Sajid Ali and would attract audiences of all age groups. Abraham, who is also starring in the film, said it is expected to hit theatres in December next year.
“Om Shanti Om” Actress caught in Prostitution Tamil Actress Aish Ansari who has appeared in the ‘’Boom Boom’’ album four years back and in popular Bollywood movies Chalte Chalte, Om Shanti Om was allegedly arrested for prostitution. Police arrested four people including Aish for running a high-profile prostitution racket and escort service which was being operated from internet.

Won’t make 3D film until I get it right: Rakesh Roshan Actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, who is basking in the success of ‘Krrish 3’, said that he will make a 3D film only when he is confident of not doing a sloppy job with the technology Hrithik Roshan-starrer ‘Krrish 3’ was supposed to be released in 3D but the idea was dropped eventually. “We wanted to release ‘Krrish 3’ in 3D format but we didn’t have the time for it.

I will only make a 3D film when I’m certain that the output will be good,” Rakesh said. “I don’t want to make a film in 3D just because people want to watch. Only when I know I will get it right, will I try using the format,” he added.

“The ideal scenario would be to get married six times…” While I may not be thinking of marriage right now, I’ve been planning my wedding since I can remember! The ideal scenario would be getting married six times (to the same man, of course). I’ve even decided the locations and ceremonies… The first wedding would be at my Dadaji’s house in Ambala. This would be my ‘Big, Fat, Indian Wedding’, which I’d celebrate with my ultra large family, all rituals included. The second would be an underwater wedding at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The third would be at a church in Las Vegas! Ducking tradition, I’d wear a short black dress with the priest dressed as Elvis Presley. The fourth would be an intimate ceremony at a small, beautiful church in Locarno, Switzerland. It’s on top of a hill that overlooks parts of Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Only family and close friends would be present. “The curtains, the stolen glances… and finally Kabool hai!” The fifth would be a nikah. I believe it’s a beautiful, romantic ceremony – the curtains, the stolen glances, the words and finally the acceptance... Kabool hai! The sixth would be of the groom’s choice! If my future groom survives all that, then we’ll survive anything! “I’d turn into a Bridezilla” I have different designs in mind for all the various weddings listed above. But knowing me, I’ll end up changing it all at the last minute. Also, I’m all for destination weddings. And one of my dream weddings needs a great destination to host it. With all the preparations, I’d 100 per cent turn into a Bridezilla. That’s what my friends, family and team keep telling me. Since I am such a perfectionist and stickler for the smallest details, all hell will break loose when I’m planning my wedding. “I’ll have a huge contingent of bridesmaids” I have a huge family that lives in various parts of the world. I would want to have every single one of them present for my big day. I’ll have a huge contingent of bridesmaids consisting of my two best friends and all my favourite cousins! “I promise to have the biggest Punjabi wedding ever” I’d value the advice of my parents as far as marriage is concerned. They’ve had such a wonderful marriage that started off with an interesting wedding. Their advice would be real and coming from genuine experiences. All said, I absolutely love the big fat Indian wedding. There is so much drama, laughter, tears, dancing, eating and madness that I wouldn’t want it any other way. I promise to have the biggest, fattest Punjabi wedding ever!
