He has cut an album and a music video has been made for one of the songs. It is a good platform for me as I am seen in Indian costumes.

Jackie Shroff has worked in nearly 150 films and played variety of roles, but this one is different. This time Jackie plays a spiritual leader Sai Baba in his forthcoming movie ‘Malik Ek’ to be directed by Deepak Balraj Vij slated for October release. And so much is Jackie enthralled by this project that he has even quit smoking and drinking and turned into a complete vegetarian to get into the skin of the character.
‘I have quit smoking and drinking for the last one-and-a-half years and plan to continue with it in the future too. I did not have the habit of eating non-vegetarian food much, but I have stopped it completely now.’ Jackie said.
Intitially Jackie was apprehensive about the role but Deepak was adamant about casting him. ‘Initially, when he had approached me with the project, I did not agree as I thought playing Sai Baba would not be possible for me. But the constant persuasion from the director made me say yes and then I never looked back,’ ponders Jackie.
Jackie, who is also an ardent follower of the spiritual guru, said: ‘Now I feel as if Baba is guiding me in the film and I am only following his instructions.’
Jackie is also working in Sohail Khan Productions’ ‘Kisaan’, where he will be seen as a Sikh farmer.

After sex and SRK, there is something else which sells in Bollywood. Yes, it is Darsheel Safari, the youngest superstar of Bollywood, who got nominated with Shah Rukh Khan for the best-actor award in the popular awards.
After the release of ‘Taare Zameen Par’, Darsheel’s parents decided that there would be no more movies for Safari and the boy would now concentrate on his studies. This only made Darsheel hotter and more sought after and now the going price for Darsheel is apparently 75 lakh rupees.
The latest offer for Darsheel is from Suniel Shetty’s Popcorn Entertainment titled ‘Dedh’ (1 ½ ), the comedy to be helmed by the 123 director Ashwani Dheer. Going by the fact that Darsheel would pair with Sanjay Dutt in the film, the project sounds just too rocking.
Says Ashwin, “Sanjay Dutt is final for the project. We need to work out the dates. As for the boy, yes we do want Darsheel and are trying for him. Let’s see.”
Meghna Gulzar has planned a unique project for Madhuri Dixit. The film, tentatively and aptly titled ’36-24-36’ will be a unique Bollywood comedy about acquiring the perfect feminine figure, obesity and weight loss.
When Meghna narrated the script to Madhuri she was very interested and laughed a lot at the funny sequences. The problem lies in the fact that for Madhuri, her family, her kids and her husband, are first priority and she can’t leave them in the US and come to Mumbai to shoot a film. So, we have it that the production house Pritish Nandy Communications, is prepared to shoot the entire film in the US and that too at the time suited to Madhuri.
However Madhuri, who is now busy with ‘The Unforgettables’ tour in the US, will be able to give her final nod only after the tour.
Deepika Padukone who started his journey of Bollywood starring opposite Shahrukh Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’ is now acting with another big bollywood star Akshay Kumar in ‘Chandni Chowk to China’.

Mugdha Godse is not a new name in the scene of ramps, but the debut movie of this hot model is yet to hit the screens. Talking about sexy Mugdha Godse, the gal is making a debut with Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Fashion’ and even before the movie hits the screens, Mugdha bags in a three-film deal with Percept Pictures Company.
The best part of this deal is that Mugdha is free to work outside the deal. Giving in more details about the contract, Godse said, “The films that I am doing with PPC would have me in a lead-lead kind of a role. Also, since the production house has 10-15 films in the pipeline, the role that I would eventually end up doing would be by mutual consent between me and the director. I should like the film and the director should also find me suitable enough for the part.”
Where other newcomers make their presence felt in Bollywood with their romances and controversies, not much has been said about Mugdha in the gossip columns. Explaining the reason, Mugdha says, “Don’t be surprised because that’s the way I function. That’s not my style. For some it may be a way to keep making headlines but I would rather have everything firmly in place before I let people know about it.”
So, here we have one lady who prefers to let her work speak for her. Hope her debut reveals the best of her hidden talents!!
Snoop Dog is too famous a name in the world of international music not to create a stir when he appears on the silver screen of Bollywood. So, now Vipul Shah has made this singer of world famous tracks like ‘Ego Tripping’, ‘Neva Have To Worry’, ‘Sensual Seduction’, ‘Sexual Eruption’, ‘Boss Life’, ‘The Blue Carpet Treatment’ and many others sing and dance with Khiladi Kumar in Chicago.
So, we have it that Akshay and Snoop Dogg have shot for a video together for Vipul Shah’s ‘Singh is Kinng’ in Chicago. The video is an amalgamation of western Hip-hop with a ‘tadka’ of desi Bhangara!
To add to it, Snoop will also sport a pagdi along with Akshay. In fact, Akshay expressed his admiration for Dogg by giftin him a turban which he managed to get in Chicago with the help of a local friend. Where Akshay went ga-ga working with Snoop, Dogg on the other hand liked and simply adored Akshay’s dancing skills. So, this again adds to the mutual admiration club!!

Rakhi Sawant gets Aamir Khan and Vidya Balan on her show!
She is a small town girl carving her way in this big, bad world of Bollywood. She has a large number of fans who love her and an equally large number of people who cant get enough of criticizing her.
Love her or hate her! This is Rakhi Sawant who is already making stirs this time with her talk show. Rakhi has managed big shots Aamir Khan and Vidya Balan for her opening episodes and guess what! Vidya just can’t stop praising this item girl.
“I really like Rakhi for the way she has made a place for herself. No one else is quite like her. She has marketed herself as an extremely unique entity. I think it’s truly admirable. She conducted the interview straight and simple. There was none of the flamboyance associated with her. And that really surprised me,” said Vidya.
Talking about the show Vidya said, “Rakhi recorded with me and Aamir. I finished my episode with her and then Aamir came in. I think he will be her guest on her first episode. And I’m on her second episode.”
Though Aamir, Vidya and Rakhi may seem poles apart, but hats off to Rakhi Sawant’s show that brought these opposite poles together!
Govinda and Sushmita Sen break the ice
They made a excellent screen chemistry in ‘Kyunki Main Jhoot Nahin Bolta’, but a misunderstanding between the two, Govinda and Sushmita Sen, kept them apart for a long time. The rift mounted to such a level that Sush even walked out of director Dharmesh Darshan’s film when she came to know that Govinda was her co-star in it.
Now, it is David Dhawan who has finally managed to bring the two together in his comedy ‘Do Knot Disturb’, which is currently on the floors.
The cold vibes between the two actors was apparent for the first few days of shooting. Eventually, mature and professioanls as they are, the two decided to break the ice and discuss the issue over which they had fallen apart. They sat and talked about the matter. Finally, all the misunderstandings have been cleared and the two are on talking terms again.
It would sure be a treat to see two talented actors tickling our ribs with their comic performances.
Size-zero race: Rimi Sen runs in the opposite direction
Yes, this true…. When everyone else is in a race to attain size-zero, glamorous Rimi Sen chooses to do just the opposite. She is all set to play an extremely obese woman in an upcoming comedy by director Tigmanshu Dhulia. The movie to be shot in London would feature Govinda as a conman and Rimi as a fat, flabby girl who has a crush on him.
The good news for the admirers of Rimi’s perfect curves is that the gorgeous lady would not be really putting on any weight for the role. It will be the magic of prosthetics, bodysuits, and layers of make-up which will make her look fat.
Tigmanshu was earlier apprehensive if Rimi would like to go in for such a makeover given the sexy image she has on screen. However, while shooting his film Shagird – in which Rimi plays a journalist – Tigmanshu tossed the idea to Rimi and the actress was game for it.
“She was very sporting and instantly said yes,” Dhulia says.

The perfect Bong beauty - Bipasha Basu
Rituporno Ghosh is one Bengali director who has worked with many leading Bollywood actresses and there is no doubt to it that he has brought out the best from each of them- be it Aishwarya Rai (Chokher Bali, Raincoat), Raima Sen (Chokher Bali, Dosar etc.) Soha Ali Khan (Antar Mahal) and even Preity Zinta (The Last Lear). Now, it is the turn of sizzling bong beauty Bipasha Basu to get moulded in a totally de-glam and bengali avatar in his forthcoming project ‘Shob Charitro Kalponik’.
The movie has Bipasha playing Manisha, a simple housewife whose ideologies clash with that of her poet husband. The frustration and tension in their marital life makes her fall for her husband’s friend in due course of time. A twist in the tale makes her view her husband in different light. Bipasha shares screen space with noted Bengali actor Prosenjit who plays her husband in the film.
Her last output ‘Race’ was a big hit at the box-office. Beside her debut in this Bengali film, Bips also has in row YRF’s ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ with Ranbir Kapoor and White Feather Art House Films’ ‘Pankh’ later in the year.
Gayatri Mantra on the sets of ‘Fear Factor’
Yes, what you see in the pics below is Khiladi Kumar chanting ‘Gayatri Mantra’ with Yana Gupta and Anjana Sukhani, the beautiful contestants of ‘fear Factor’. Akshay Kumar recited the prayer to encourage the participants, increase their inner self- belief and make them fearless before performing death-defying stunts in South Africa.
Talking about the greatness of this mantra, Akshay said,
“Whenever I do my stunts I say the ‘Gayatri Mantra’ in my mind. I strongly believe that our body is animated by life energy and according to India’s science of sound healing; you can gather and direct that healing life force through the power of sacred sound. Hence to help the girls overcome their fear, I thoughts its best to start their stunts with this ultimate chant.”
With Akshay by their side and ‘Gayatri Mantra’ to give them inner strength, we have no doubts that the tender ladies would successfully perform all the daring stunts overcoming all their fears.
Big B takes a turn to spirituality and devotion
His voice is perhaps the most valuable asset in his personality and what better use could Big B make of this voice than record the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ Hindu religious chant and get geared up for a new musical interpretation of his father’s version of the Bhagavad Gita.
Yes, Big B has recorded this divine and heavenly chant in his voice and the trailers of this will be relesed in September. But Amitabh Bachchan is already excited and sure of this work of his. He says,
‘Wherever I’ve played the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ so far people have found it to be a divine experience - hair-raising, goose bumpy, that’s how the endeavour has been described so far. I guess it’s more to do with the nature of the project than the singing. There’s a deep connect with the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ in perhaps every Hindu home. We’ve all grown up reciting it. It still plays an important part in our lives.’
But Big B’s turn to spirituality and devotion doesn’t end here. He has also soemthing for his father, late poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. ‘Aadesh and I will now be collaborating over a new interpretation of the ‘Bhagavad Gita’. It’s one of my father’s unknown and unacknowledged masterpieces, of immense literary and religious value. We’ll be doing a musical version of my father’s ‘Bhagavad Gita’ that he had translated into the language and meter of the Ramayan. In this, the centenary year of my father’s existence I can think of no better tribute,’ said the proud son.
After doing playbacks for ‘Mr. Natwarlal’, ‘Silsila’ to ‘Nishabd’ and ‘Baabul’ and ‘Bhootnath’, this sure is a welcome step from this Bollywood superstar.

Mallika Sherawat to pay for her starry tantrums!
So, here comes a blow for the attitude queen, Mallika Sherawat. IMPPA (Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA), industry’s oldest body of producers has made the self-crowned actress fall with a thud as early this week, the association asked her to return Rs.2.5 million Studio 18 had paid her early this year as signing amount for the movie ‘Masquerade’.
Studio 18 had lodged the complaint against Mallika’s starry airs and unreasonable demands. Mallika had allegedly asked the production house to replace the movie’s director, Kundan Shah.
When Studio 18 refused to oblige, she demanded the cinematographer be replaced with one of her choice, Madhu Ambat. This again was not accepted by the production house. This hurt her ego so much that she left the project midway causing much loss to the producers.
IMPPA has now ordered her to return the signing amount of Rs. 2.5 million within one month or else face the consequences, the sources said. Hope this serves as a lesson for many others too!
For all those who are dying to see Ranbir Kapoor share screen space with his dad, there is a bad news! Rishi won’t be seen with his son even doing a cameo here! Instead it is Kunal Kapoor who will make a special appearance! “Kunal Kapoor will be seen in the film along with Ranbir in a special appearance”, confirmed a member close to the film. Seems we will just have to wait some more till we see the Kapoor father-son duo come together.
Talking about the music of the film Vishal said, “Yes, the song ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ is special as it has the voice of Kishore and Sumit Kumar in it. It was director Siddharth Anand’s idea of having the two sing together. We had initially approached Amit Kumar but later it was Amit who gave us Sumit’s number and asked us to try him instead. Amit had already sung for us in Jhankaar Beats and that was also a tribute to RD Burman and this time around we thought of making Sumit sing instead”.
After the IPL Preity Zinta now appears to be one of the top contenders to play the role of one of the most powerful political figure of our times; Italian born Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
If sources are to be believed, the gutsy beauty is amongst the few short listed to play the role of Sonia Gandhi in a film based on her life to be directed by Jagmohan Mundhra. The director is reportedly also looking out for an Italian actress and has even finalised the sizzling Italian hotie Monica Balluchi to play Sonia’s older part, but is still unable to zero upon an actress who can essay the role of the young Mrs Gandhi.
Though nothing has been finalised just as yet as Mundra still has his thinking cap on amid reports suggesting that Zinta is on board and the official announcement will soon follow. The story that goes to depict Sonia Gandhi life from age 18 to 58 years follows the destiny of a young girl in love, who comes to India, faces intense criticism for her foreign lineage but sets out to rule the hearts of billions across the globe.
Shah Rukh Khan is the one actor on whom anyone can rely on. The moment the superstar learnt that Aziz Mirza wanted him to do the voiceover for Tips Films Kismat Konnection, Khan, who had just returned from the UK, not only did he instantly met the director but also completed the dubbing in a matter of few hours.
“Shah Rukh is amazingly energetic,” said Aziz Mirza. He added, “He had just returned from London. Any actor in his place would have made an excuse of jetlag and said ‘I want to go home’, but not Shah Rukh! His car took the road that led to the dubbing studio. That too at 1.30 in the night. He saw to it that he completes the voice over for my film that very night.”
Interestingly it was Juhi who was to do the voice over initially. Aziz Mirza said, “Juhi plays a crystal ball reader in my film and since her character talks about life and relationships I thought she was apt to do the voiceover for the film. But Juhi felt that the content of my film was too strong and female’s voice in the background would not be able to do justice to it.”
Aziz Mirza said with Shah Rukh now having lent his voice to the film, the circle was complete. “I am glad that Shah Rukh is a part of my film. I can always depend on him. When I told him about the voice over he immediately agreed. Shah Rukh did not question me even once about it.”
When everyone has tried their luck in different genre roles like Hrithik in Krrish, Harman in Love Story 2050, how could Sanjay Dutt be left behind. Sanju Baba has lined himself a role as the Indian James Bond in a film aptly titled Bond.
If sources are to be believed, Sanjay came up with the idea and put it to Anthony D’Souza. Anthony is currently directing him in Ashtavinayak’s Blue. Says an insider, “Initial talks on Bond have already begun. It will be a big budget project loaded with adrenaline-pumping action. Sanjay Dutt will have a special look for the film. There will also be two other actors. Anthony D’Souza, better known as Tony, is just back from the Bahamas and is already in talks with Ashtavinayak. ”
Dhilin Mehta, managing director, Ashtavinayak confirms, “We are working on a project called Bond along with Sanjay Dutt Productions but it is in the initial storyboard stages. It’s early to spell out more details but Sanjay Dutt will act in it. As Anthony is busy with Blue, things on the Bond front will roll only after he wraps up the film. The Blue unit will also have another schedule in Bangkok.”
Mallika Sherawat is so attractive that animals also can’t stop themselves. Mallika was chased by a bull while riding a scooter for a scene in the movie Ugly Aur Pagli.
Her co-star Ranvir Shorey was a co-victim. Mallika, who was riding the scooter, froze when she realised that a bull was chasing them. What’s worse is that it was her first time on a scooter.
Even Ranvir, who was riding pillion, didn’t know what to do. Remembering the incident, Ranvir laughs, “While riding the scooter, Mallika was required to hoot loudly.
When she started hooting, a bull on the streets got petrified, turned around and started chasing us. Mallika was so scared she threw her hands up in the air, saying ‘I don’t know what to do! I don’t know what to do!’
That’s when I grabbed the handle of the bike and managed to save ourselves. Thankfully, the bull gave up and stopped following us. Neither of us were wearing red, but the bike was red.”
Well one thing ought to make Mallika Happy, that she is universally hot. Source
Vidya Balan, in an exclusive interview talked about her journey so far, her upcoming flick ‘Kismat Konnection’, her connection with Shahid and more.
Q: You come from a non-filmi background. How have you achieved so much success in such a short period?
Vidya: Yes, I do come from a non films background. But my parents always knew about my Bollywood dreams. I always had the passion in me to make it big on the silver screen and I have been fortunate to have a very supportive family.
Q: You say you have passion. What is the difference between passion and desperation in the Hindi film industry for an actress?
Vidya: Passion is a must for all those who want to succeed in our industry. But desperation comes to people, who have no goals in their lives. I would say that I was always ready to work and work hard, but not at any cost.
Q: Filmi background means protection. So what’s the kind of struggle that one goes through when the backing is not there?
Vidya: I have always had the luxury of choice. I have done films and ad films that I have wanted too. There was a time when though I was not a great hit. I had turned down interesting offers as my studies were taking a backseat. I always had the option of saying no. It was not like I was working empty stomach or anything.
Q: Your transition from TV to films is somewhat similar to that of Shah Rukh Khan. Do you consider yourself as the female SRK?
Vidya: No, not at all. Shah Rukh is a living legend and I am nowhere near him.
Yes, what you see in the pics below is Khiladi Kumar chanting ‘Gayatri Mantra’ with Yana Gupta and Anjana Sukhani, the beautiful contestants of ‘fear Factor’. Akshay Kumar recited the prayer to encourage the participants, increase their inner self- belief and make them fearless before performing death-defying stunts in South Africa.
Talking about the greatness of this mantra, Akshay said,
“Whenever I do my stunts I say the ‘Gayatri Mantra’ in my mind. I strongly believe that our body is animated by life energy and according to India’s science of sound healing; you can gather and direct that healing life force through the power of sacred sound. Hence to help the girls overcome their fear, I thoughts its best to start their stunts with this ultimate chant.”
With Akshay by their side and ‘Gayatri Mantra’ to give them inner strength, we have no doubts that the tender ladies would successfully perform all the daring stunts overcoming all their fears.
His voice is perhaps the most valuable asset in his personality and what better use could Big B make of this voice than record the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ Hindu religious chant and get geared up for a new musical interpretation of his father’s version of the Bhagavad Gita.
Yes, Big B has recorded this divine and heavenly chant in his voice and the trailers of this will be relesed in September. But Amitabh Bachchan is already excited and sure of this work of his. He says,
‘Wherever I’ve played the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ so far people have found it to be a divine experience - hair-raising, goose bumpy, that’s how the endeavour has been described so far. I guess it’s more to do with the nature of the project than the singing. There’s a deep connect with the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ in perhaps every Hindu home. We’ve all grown up reciting it. It still plays an important part in our lives.’
But Big B’s turn to spirituality and devotion doesn’t end here. He has also soemthing for his father, late poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. ‘Aadesh and I will now be collaborating over a new interpretation of the ‘Bhagavad Gita’. It’s one of my father’s unknown and unacknowledged masterpieces, of immense literary and religious value. We’ll be doing a musical version of my father’s ‘Bhagavad Gita’ that he had translated into the language and meter of the Ramayan. In this, the centenary year of my father’s existence I can think of no better tribute,’ said the proud son.
After doing playbacks for ‘Mr. Natwarlal’, ‘Silsila’ to ‘Nishabd’ and ‘Baabul’ and ‘Bhootnath’, this sure is a welcome step from this Bollywood superstar.
So, here comes a blow for the attitude queen, Mallika Sherawat. IMPPA (Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA), industry’s oldest body of producers has made the self-crowned actress fall with a thud as early this week, the association asked her to return Rs.2.5 million Studio 18 had paid her early this year as signing amount for the movie ‘Masquerade’.
Studio 18 had lodged the complaint against Mallika’s starry airs and unreasonable demands. Mallika had allegedly asked the production house to replace the movie’s director, Kundan Shah.
When Studio 18 refused to oblige, she demanded the cinematographer be replaced with one of her choice, Madhu Ambat. This again was not accepted by the production house. This hurt her ego so much that she left the project midway causing much loss to the producers.
IMPPA has now ordered her to return the signing amount of Rs. 2.5 million within one month or else face the consequences, the sources said. Hope this serves as a lesson for many others too!

Akshay & Katrina Shoot In Egypt
Reveals Vipul (Shah), “I wouldn’t say we shot in Egypt just for the glam factor. The story is such that it takes Akshay’s character from Punjab to Egypt and then to Australia. So we have about 7-8 scenes in Egypt as well. We did a complete 15-day schedule there and you won’t believe some of the shots we’ve canned. They’ll take your breath away!”
He adds, “We’d already shown Punjab, which lent a very rustic, earthy, kitsch character to Singh is Kinng. Then we had Australia, which is very modern, neat, and glossy. So we decided to add a third terrain to the film for the exotica and Egypt came about. With these three locales, the audience will find the film constantly evolving on screen. There are parts of Egypt in the film that no one’s seen before on celluloid!”
How hot could the cover of ‘Maxim’ get? Check it out for yourself as the July 2008 issue of infamously famous fashion magazine ‘Maxim’ has Amrita Arora in her hottest avatar. And if her killer looks were not enough, the hot lass goes on to load both her tender hands with guns.
Her personal life may have received a setback with her breakup with longtime boyfriend Usmaan, but her professional life is definitely on a high with ‘Golmaal Returns’ in Amrita’s kitty. Going by the look in her eyes as seen on the cover page of ‘Maxim’ the girl surely intends to hit off with vengeance.

Neha Oberoi on zero size figure, shopping and shoes
Sexy and vivacious Neha Oberoi has her own mantras of style and glamour. Where in zero size figure may have become the latest craze in Bollywood divas, Neha does not think the same way.
In her opinion,
“Being fit is good but starving yourself is bad. I have always been fit, but I have not been finicky about being ultra-slim. I do work-out and eat in moderation, but more than that I think it’s not necessary as beauty lies in eyes of the beholder and you have to feel fit and beautiful from within first.”
However, this outer and inner beauty combo package does not come without her own weaknesses. Yes, this tall and lissome lass has two great weaknesses - shopping and even greater than that, buying shoes! So much so that she can’t even count the number of shoes she owns.
Reveals Neha,
“I am terrible when it comes to buying shoes, I simply lose all reason and go for it if it catches my eye. But whatever I buy must appeal to me and though designer wear is nice I don’t restrict myself to it!”
With the motto of spreading the message of communal harmony and celebrating the spirit of Mumbai, UTV Motion Pictures and Citizen’s Council for a Better Tomorrow announced the launch of their MUMBAI MERI JAAN signature campaign in Mumbai.

It was an entirely different and one of its kind music launch. Talking about the music launch of ‘Rock On!’ this Monday night at Infinity Mall on Andheri Link Road in north-west Mumbai, the audience was mesmerized by the live performance of Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy and Farhan Akhtar.
The show couldn’t get better when Farhan Akhtar himself took to the mike and rocked the venue with two foot-tapping numbers from the movie. Farhan plays the role of the lead singer in the movie and sings as many as five out of nine songs in it.

The film also stars Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Shahana Goswami and Luke Kenny who were all present for the launch. Proud father Javed Akhtar along with Big Music representative Kulmeet Makkar unveiled the music album.
“We have worked with Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy and Javed saab earlier. So the process of creating music for ‘Rock On’ was all the more fun. It is a youth-oriented film. The music needed a distinct sound, keeping in mind contemporary appeal along with melodious tracks,” said Ritesh Sidhwani on the occasion.
Both the most awaited movies with debutant performance in male leads finally released this week with fanfare, however, with different box office reports. Imran Khan starer Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa as according to market reports opened with 80% collection while Harman- Priyanka starer sci-fi ‘Love Story 2050’ has only 30% opening.
Whatever, may be the collection of new released movies, they have continued the Bollywood trend of recent times of releasing debut star movies. For last few years every second week of Bollywood industry is hit by performances of a new actor, director or story-teller, who, either receives the praise of audience or continues his slow and steady progress with span of time.
However, in debut release of male actors there are hardly a few movies which resulted in big hits, yet two most memorable movies of time with debut performance are Rishi and Dimple Kapadia acted Bobby, and Kaho Naa Pyar Hai that rocked chart results as blazed with performance of Hrithik Roshan. Maine Pyar Kiya with Salman Khan in lead role is another biggest hit of its time.
The other most talked about debut stars of the latest age are Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone with comparatively different results for their respective movies. Ranbir starrer ‘Sawariya’ did average business whereas Deepika’s Om Shanti Om became a hit. A few other movies with debut performance of star in recent time are Neil Nitin Mukesh in Johnny Gaddar, Shiney Ahuja in Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi, Vidya Balan in Parineeta and RAJEEV KHANDEWAAL in Aamir.
But more than actors bollywood be known for debut performances of filmmakers, i.e.,
Mansoor Khan for Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, Sooraj Barjatya for Maine Pyar Kiya, ADITIYA CHOPRA for Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and KARAN JOHAR for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) and list is on with new names arriving each and every day.

Mundra is known for her women oriented films and his last one was ‘Provoked’ with Aishwarya Rai which won rave reviews for Ash.
Unlike other newcomers who grab in every role that come their way, Sonal is being very choosy and selective because she wants to do roles that make her presence felt in the film immaterial of the length. Currently, she is looking forward to working with the ace director, Mundra, and is sure that he will extract the best out of her!
This is the latest in the chain of news to Shilpa Shetty turning producer with S2 Global Productions. Her debut production would be an action comedy to be directed by Manish Jha. Shilpa had searched for the script for as long as six months to giver her final nod.
The script is an original one, without any influence from Hollywood script and has girls in central action roles. Shilpa is playing one of the lead roles and the grapevine has it that Bipasha Basu has also been finalized for a parallel role.
Shilpa has reportedly roped in Hollywood stunt director Tom Delmar to choreograph the action scenes and train the actors. The movie will be co-produced by UTV Motion Pictures.
Finally, Ekta and Tusshar Kapoor have started behaving like normal siblings with a healthy amount of sibling rivalry and clashes in their relationship. The brother-sister jodi is working on ‘C Kkhomapany’ and they had a heated argument over the publicity designs of the film.
The entire publicity campaign was designed by Tusshar but when he bbrought the designs to the office for Ekta’s approval, she rejected them. Both of them stood adament to their grounds to the extent that theydid not speak for two days after that. Later, things smoothened up when Ekta agreed to meet Tusshar again after ensuring that he incorporates some of her suggestions.
C-Company, directed by Sachin Yardi, stars Tusshar Kapoor (as a crime reporter) and Raima Sen. Mahesh Bhatt, Karan Johar and Sanjay Dutt have important cameos in the film.
Her last lead role was in ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ in 2006 opposite Shreyas Talpade. Then, she appeared in 2007 in the sizzling title song of ‘Heyy Babyy’. The song was a hit but Riya seemed to have lost among the bunch of girls in the song.
Now, she has a cameo in ‘Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein’ where she also has an entire item song shot exclusively on her. Titled ‘Sajan Mera’, the song also features the film’s lead Sarwar Ahuja who appears to be all pensive and troubled as per the demand of the situation in the song.
Produced by Rajesh Gupta and directed by Manish Goel, the film marks the debut of Tabassum’s grand daughter Khushi as the leading lady.
However, Riya is not cooperating with the makers for the promotion of the film on the plea that the makers only wanted to cash in on her name and popularity to promote the film. This is why she was demanding close to Rs 3 lakh just to promote the film. However, the film being a small budgeted one, the makers are not ready to bow down to Riya’s demands.
Harman Baweja is everywhere these days! After the grand world premiere of his debut film in London and in Yash Raj Studios back at home, the latest heartthrob of Bollywood has appeared on the cover of the fashion and lifestyle magazine ‘Andpersand‘. Attired in a tuxedo by Gucci, White Shirt by Gas, Tie by Dior, Shoes by Hugo Boss, jacket by Versace and his own belt, this dangerously handsome dude scorches the covers.

To be known here that the magazine has donned a new look by changing its logo in this issue. The new logo for the magazine has done away with ‘&’ in the masthead. Instead, it has adopted the word ‘and’ as part of the new logo. However, the design and appearance of the new logo remain similar to the previous one.
In its attempt to create interest around the new logo, the publishing house roped in Harman to unveil the new identity of the magazine. Baweja was chosen because he is a fresh, new face in Bollywood. The theme for the new issue is The First Sign, covering topics such as India’s first comic called Savita Bhabhi for grown-ups, and a cover story on debutant actor.
In order to engage the readers and inform them about the expected change in the logo, andpersand carried a contest in which readers had to identify the featured personality.

Similarly, in partnership with Fever 104, andpersand ran a contest, where listeners were quizzed on how they would ask Baweja out on a date. The winners of the print, online and radio contest won a dinner date with Baweja.

Their much awaited and much hyped film ‘Tashan’ crashed at the box office despite Kareena flaunting her zero size figure in the film. But this has in no way disheartened Saifeena (Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor) from venturing into projects together.
They are already working in Sriram Raghavan’s ‘Agent Vinod’ and untitled film for Rensil D’Silva. The latest addition to this list is the film they have signed for the production house Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd. Incidentally, this film is a part of the three-film deal, which Kareena had signed with Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd.
The spokesperson for Ashtavinayak confirmed the news saying, “Yes, Saif and Kareena have been signed for a film to be made under the Ashtavinayak banner. It is an action film but the director is yet to be finalized. The film will go on floors sometime next year (2009).”
Sanjay Dutt has duly paid his dues and has undoubtedly faced a very rough patch in his life. His relationship with his family and daughter soured after his marriage to Manyata. Trishala did not take in the news of her father’s marriage smoothly and refused to take his calls and sms. But how long could a daughter not respond to her father’s caring gestures. The ice between the father and daughter seems to be melting and the world-famous magazine, ‘People’ has just managed to get this Father-Daughter pair to grace the cover of their inaugural issue in India. The magazine covers an exclusive insight into the lives of Sanjay Dutt, Trishala and Manyata.
In her interview to the Magazine, Trishala says she and her step mom have made a start over a trip in Bahamas where Sanjay’s shooting for his film. Where father and daughter spent quality time, Trishala and Manyata shopped for everything from jewellery to bathing suits.
“According to what Trishala told to People Magazine she spent a significant amount of time with both Sanjay and Manyata. Since Sanjay Dutt was shooting for the film Blue in the Bahamas, she went out with Manyata for shopping and they also went to a Dolphin park together and had a good time,”
said Sandipan Dalal, Principal Correspondent, People Magazine.
“Trishala told us that Manyata had consulted her while they were buying their bathing suits before hitting the pool. Also since Trishala is on a controlled diet, Manyata had ordered for a ceaser salad in keeping with her diet initially when she landed in the Bahamas,” he said.
Look out for this picture-perfect father-daughter pair on the cover of ‘People’.
Never before has there been such a star studded premiere for any newcomer in the Bollywood industry. Friend or foe, Uncle Aamir Khan has them all for the premiere of his nephew’s debut venture ‘Jaane Tu….Ya Jaane Na’. You name them and you have them. The bigwigs attending the premier include Big B, Salman Khan, Sri Devi, Boney Kapoor, Shamita Shetty, Anil and Sonam Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Raveena, Tabu, Jiah Khan, Minisha Lamba and of course Aamir-Kiran Khan and the lead pair of the film- Genelia and Imran.
The film, by Aamir Khan Productions and directed by Abbas Tyrewala, is about love. It shows the parents who are ‘cool’ and play scrabbles, parents who are bitter and on the verge of breakup, single, hardworking mothers, corrupt, comical cops, difficult brothers, and friends who just hang around and hang around and gang around strumming guitars and getting drunk on cola.
Finally this week will see the release of two most awaited projects marking the debut of two awaited star kids- Harman Baweja and Imran Khan. The Global Premiere of Harman Baweja’s debut ‘Love Story 2050’ was held at Cine World Feltham in London on July 2, 2008. The Premiere was hosted by the London distribution office of BIG Pictures and the stars adding glitter and glamour to the premiere were the debutant male lead, Harman Baweja, the leading lady, Priyanka Chopra, the versatile Boman Irani and the Producer-Director, Harry Baweja. With Harman’s dancing skills already crating stirs with the promos of the songs from the film, the release will finally decide how much of the acting material he possesses.
Jennifer Kotwal, the famous Kannada actress, who, though from Mumbai also has a successful stint as model have turned towards Bollywood in a leading role opposite Himesh Reshammiya in film titled as Mudh Mudh Ke Na Dekkh Mudh Mudh Ke.
It may be a coincident that she was earlier also offered a leading role opposite Himesh in Satish Kaushik’s Karzzz. But she declined the offer because of certain unacceptable clauses as mentioned in the contract of the movie; however she liked the story of Mudh Mudh Ke… very much.

You may not believe it, but it is Google inscribed over sari that is on exhibition at a place in Delhi prepared by Satya Paul collections. It is definitely seems an attempt to Indiansation of Google or reflection of technology through the medium of fashion.
Hopefully, soon there would be some Indian dress edition as well for Yahoo! Or Microsoft, anyway watch, how Google sari looks alike.
Aadesh has entered into an agreement with Motorola for a commercial to promote his first international track ‘Bollywood Meets Hollywood‘ with American rapper Wyclef Jean and Abhishek Bachchan.

Youtube is filled with the song. We’ve big plans for the song in India. I hope it would be like a singing launch for Abhishek.”
Aadesh also plans to tie up with other international super-artistes like Justin Timberlake in the near future.
The cold war of King Khan and Big B has leafed one more chapter. In an answer to Big B’s Unforgettable Tour, Shahrukh has kick-started the ‘Temptations’ tour once again, which is now termed as ‘Temptations Reloaded’ much to the chagrin of the Bachchans.
Beside the prolific Bachchan trio (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya), the ‘Unforgettable’ tour will see many stars performing on stage like Akshay Kumar, Madhuri Dixit and Riteish Deshmukh amongst others. On the other hand, apart from King Khan, ‘Temptations Reloaded’ features stars like Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Katrina Kaif, etc. The Moranis (the sponsors of the show) is interested in conducting the tour in various cities of US and Europe.
SRK’s Temptations tour started at the Ahoy in Rotterdam on Saturday, where SRK gave a rocking performance. Reportedly, talks are on for another Temptations tour with the King Khan in October, in Germany.
Aamir Khan is leaving no stones unturned to get a strong foothold for his nephew Imran Khan in the industry and then with just a few days left for the his debut release ‘Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na’ to hit the screens, the mama-bhanja jodi are definitely on a run.
They sure catch attention with their killer looks on the covers of this month’s issue of Cine Blitz magazine. Attired in formal suits, they definitely look at ease with each other.
The issue has Imran sharing some of the moments of his life and also the fact that how this is only the second time that he has worn a suit in his life (the first time being during the premiere of mamu Aamir’s debut film QSQT).
We do expect a lot from this promising newcomer Khan owing to the fact that he has a perfectionist Mama Khan to support him!
‘Hhey Gujju’- Well, this is the title of Himesh Reshammiya’s next film, once again with the ‘Karzzzz’ director Satish Kaushik. This out and out comedy with Studio 18 will have Himesh in a double role for the first time. Both the characters are Gujarati although one is a localite from Rajkot settled in Delhi and another one is a NRI. Where one is named Karsanlal Trikamlal Gandhi (too weird for a name!!!), the other one is Akash Patel. The film is about comedy of errors and introduces two fresh beautiful faces opposite this singer-cum-music director-cum-actor. The film was launched on 29th April this year with a song recording while the shooting would begin this month.
Talking about the film, Himesh said,
“I am doing a lot of folk fusion music in this comedy. About the cast which is being brought together for the film, we have already signed a large number of leading comedians and character artistes.”
She can be compared with earlier fresh looking entry of Juhi, Kajol and Preity Zinta as Genelia D’Souza is new actress from the South is in female lead in an Amir Khan production opposite to his nephew Imran Khan. She had also an impressive role in ‘Mere Baap Pehle Aap’.
She has many hit movies to his credit in South in Tamil and Telgu and she at very apt time switched her gear towards Bollywood. As the Imran- Ganelia starrer movie is about to released she said about the movie “It’s a fun film and we’ve all had a smashing time working on it. For now I am keeping fingers crossed and hoping for the best.”
She is currently involved in shooting of Aneeze Bazme directed “Its My Life’ opposite the latest entry into Bollywood , Harman Baweja. The other important movie in her nitty is ‘Life Partner’ co-starring Govinda and Fardeen.
