Shahid Kapoor on his toes literally

The actor suffered shoe bites while wearing a traditional juti for Teri Meri Kahaani, but he not only continued shooting.Shahid was asked to wear the juti or the Indian Mojri for his character of Javed in the Kunal Kohli-directorial.I had a lot of shoe bites when I wore them for the first time. It takes a long time for your feet to get used to them. I used to stuff cotton on my ankles and bandage my feet before I could wear them.

He remained undeterred, and even shot a song wearing them. However, he says the memories of the juti will stay with him for a long time.

because I had to dance with them on for a song. It used to come off my feet and fly.

Their chemistry worked very well for the Vishal Bharadwaj movie, and fans are hoping to see them revive it yet again for Teri Meri Kahaani.

Salman Khan is obviously elated with the success!

Latest release Wanted and he has still more reasons to smile. The producer Boney Kapoor is so excited after the success of the film that he has decided to make its sequel aptly titled Most Wanted.but director Prabhu Deva suggested that they change the female lead and rope in the south siren Nayanthara instead of Ayesha Takia.

just a few weeks back, Prabhu’s wife had come out all guns blazing at Nayan in an interview to a local daily there warning Nayanthara to keep away from her husband.

this suggestion from the director suggests a tint of truth in the rumors.

Bhatt paired with Ranbir Kapoor

Soni Razdan s daughter Alia is making her debut with Karan Johar s Student of the Year is an old one. What few people know is the fact that Alia had first been offered a film by Abhinav Kashyap but Karan Johar’s flick first went on floors.be paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Alia may be quite young compared to Ranbir but her fresh and innocent looks match Ranbir’s persona just perfectly.

Ranbir will be seen in an entirely new avatar in the film. His character is that of an uncouth youth from Bihar who turns a tapori in Mumbai.Alia has already started the shoot for ‘Student of the Year’ in Singapore and if things work out fine, she could be seen alongside Ranbir Kapoor.

Sonakshi/ Kareena Who that Chammak Challo

Chammak Challo Chail Chabeeli from Rowdy Rathore bears similarity to Kareena Kapoor s Chammak Challo from ‘Ra.One’ not only in words but also in the fact that the two heroines bear strikingly similar look in a red saree for the song.I am also Chail Chabeeli. I would like to say when we had shot for this song, ‘Ra. One’ had not released and we had not seen that ‘Chammak Challo’ in a red saree. It’s just a co-incidence, says Sonakshi.

Both the songs are different, it was westernised but our song is full of Indian melody.

Shahrukh Khan, Ranbir bid final adieu to Shammi Kapoor

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, who shared screen space with Shammi Kapoor in “Chamatkar” (1992), paid his homage to the late actor at his Malabar Hill home Sunday evening.

Shah Rukh, who came in a black BMW, did not stay inside the house for very long and also restrained from speaking to the media.

Also present was actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is Shammi Kapoor’s grandnephew.

Shammi had recently acted in Ranbir’s forthcoming film “Rockstar” that is being directed by Imtiaz Ali.

Actor Anil Kapoor, who is related to the Kapoors, too came to pay his last respects.

Shammi Kapoor, the dancing star of the 1950s and 1960s who revolutionised the image of Hindi film heroes with his carefree attitude and flamboyance, died here Sunday morning. He was 79.

'Heroine' Ash out, what's next for Bhandarkar?

 

After a grand first look release at 64th Cannes Film Festival, Madhur Bhandarkar’s self proclaimed magnum opus – Heroine – has been stalled due to Aishwarys Rai Bachchan’s pregnancy.

The announcement from the first family of Bollywood came through a tweet from the Big B and Bhandarkar was reportedly in jitters. After apparently spending four crores on the project already, the director now must either stall shooting till Rai is fit enough to return to the sets or choose another heroine and start from scratch.

According to media reports, UTV has said in a press release that the shooting has been stopped for the script requires the female protagonist to smoke, be under the waterfall and run and it is vital for Rai to be in good health now. The grueling demands of the movie that was supposed to wrap up by the 30th of July does not seem to be making any allowances for the pregnant star. The house has declared that she is no longer a part of the movie.

There have been loads of speculations about who may replace her, with the rumor scales dipping towards Priyanka Chopra, who has worked with Bhandarkar in ‘Fashion’. She was apparently rather keen to be a part of the project and the word goes that she approached the director for the role. Priyanka has however put the gossip to rest by tweeting that she would love to work with Bhandarkar again- but this is not it. She wished the star and the film all the best and the matter was laid to rest.

The movie is about the life of a once successful actress called Mahi Khanna and is loosely based on the life of divas such as Marilyn Monroe and Madhubala.

The movie has been controversy plagued from the start when apparently Kareena Kapoor was approached for the role and she turned it down some parts of the script had uncanny resemblances to her own life. And reports also say that Kareena was not comfortable sharing romantic screen space with five separate men.

The casting for the young male lead, besides Arjun Rampal, was also a matter of huge speculation and gossip till Arunoday Singh, of ‘Yeh Saali Zindaagi’ fame, bagged the role.

Media reports claim that Bhandarkar is rather depressed for having to stall the progress of a film that was already 50 per cent done. And he apparently has not congratulated Rai for the good news. Rai on the other hand is supposedly rather upset with Bhandarkar’s single-minded obsession with the movie and the schedule.

Rai is scheduled to deliver in November and she has given the project time till the 30th of July. If dates are to be calculated, Aishwarya must have been well aware of her pregnancy and should have informed the director about it well ahead critical time. With one month to go for the shooting to finish – the announcement seems rather harsh for the production house.

Even if she manages to wrap up the scenes, she will be unavailable for the post-production. It is believed that the scene that requires her to run has already been shot and she can rather easily complete the rest.

The director obviously thinks otherwise. While Rai is supposed to take a sabbatical from Bollywood post the shooting, Bhandarkar is worried about her look in the movie.

Bhandarkar is known for National Award winning films like ‘Traffic Signal’, ‘Fashion’, ‘Chandni Bar’ and ‘Page 3’. He is a critically acclaimed director and every movie of his rides on exceedingly high expectations and ‘Heroine’ – which looks critically in to the massiv world of glitz, glam and money – was no different. Besides the reported four crore sum, much more was pegged on the movie.

Though as one knows, Labor Laws do not allow an employer to fire an employee on the grounds of pregnancy. However in this case, the weight lies heavy on Bhandarkar who will potentially face severe losses. Perhaps it is time for a ‘pregnancy clause’ in Bollywood agreements.

IIFAs primer: ‘TIFF on steroids’

This weekend, the International Indian Film Academy blows into Toronto with celebrities, film premieres and concerts, culminating with the Floriana IIFA Awards, which almost 700 million people around the world will tune in to watch.

“This is an award show that travels to different cities every year. It’s a wonderful ambassador, spreading the message of Bollywood wherever it goes,” says acclaimed Indian actor Kabir Bedi, who hosted the IIFA awards in South Africa and is in Toronto taking part in festivities. “The brand of Bollywood is something that has become very big in the last 10 years … and that market is growing by the year.”

With rabid fans expected to converge along the “green” carpets and events happening all over the Greater Toronto Area, one organizer jokingly called it “TIFF on steroids.” The Post’s Melissa Leong takes a look at the big things to come:


The Big Stars

Bollywood’s biggest names will be in Toronto to walk the green carpet, host fashion shows, speak at forums, accept awards and, of course, sing and dance. Shah Rukh Khan, one of Bollywood’s highest-paid stars, will perform the finale number at the awards show June 25 where he is nominated for best actor. Actresses Dia Mirza and Mallika Sherawat are also among the many stars slated to take the stage at the Rogers Centre Saturday.

On Friday, actor, producer and director Karan Johar, whose film My Name is Khan is nominated for best film at the awards, and actress Anushka Sharma, who is nominated in the best actress category, will co-host the IIFA Rocks charity event at Toronto’s Ricoh Coliseum.

Also expected at events around the city are former Ford supermodel and actress Bipasha Basu, and winner of the 2007 Celebrity Big Brother UK Shilpa Shetty. Anil Kapoor, who played the smarmy game show host in the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire and is a nominee for best comic role in No Problem, as well as the famed Deol siblings (Bobby, Esha and Sunny), will also take part in festivities.


The Big Awards

About 22,000 people will watch India’s biggest media event, the Floriana IIFA Awards, live at the Rogers Centre Saturday evening. There will be glitzy song and dance numbers and, of course, a recognition of the best in film.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, a story about two gangsters surviving in Bombay in the 1980s, and Dabangg, a film about a mischievous and corrupt cop, are tied for the most nominations with 11 nods, including best film, director and actor.

My Name is Khan, which was highly popular overseas, is nominated in seven categories. It tells the story of an Indian family living in American during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorism attacks. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been recognized for his lead role as the Muslim patriarch who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome. Rounding out the contenders for best film are Band Baaja Baaraat, a rom-com about feuding wedding planners and Raajneeti, a political thriller.

For best actor, Khan faces off against Salman Khan in Dabangg, Ajay Devgan in Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Ranbir Kapoor in Raajneeti and Hrithik Roshan in Guzaarish. Roshan’s co-star, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, often cited as the most beautiful woman in the world and recipient of IIFA’s female star of the decade award in 2009, is nominated for best female actress in a lead role.

Shamita Shetty has plans to quit a career in acting?

Shamita Shetty has been struggling hard in Bollywood for quite sometime now and she does not have many movies to boast about till now. Of late, she has hardly played any significant role in any flick. So, finally she has decided to try her luck in some other field. Sources have it that Shilpa Shetty’s sister will be leaving for London to pursue a course in interior designing.

Shamita’s elder sister and better known Shilpa explains, “Shamita is now entering another phase in her life and career. She is now heading to London for a six-month course in interior designing. We all felt this was the right move for her to make.”

Talking about her own life, Shilpa said, “At the moment, I’m playing the most satisfying role of my life - that of an housewife. Films were never the be-all-end-all of my life.

Right now I find the idea of looking after my home far more exciting and challenging than rushing off to studios early morning.”

Raveena,Not Malaika in Chaiyya Chaiyya?

Today is world Music day and aptly,here s a revelation from Raveena Tandon.Apparenty,the cult song chaiyya chaiyya from the 1998 SRK flick dil se was first offered to her.

Just hour ago,raveena tweeted this:
"incidently!!chaiya chaiya was offered to me first !!I did already done many songs that I said no to this,afraid will be labelled itemgril!haha

Chaiyya chaiyya was composed by a.r.Rahman,written by gulzar,akd sung by Sukhwinder singh and sapna awasthi.it  featured malaika arora khan s scintillating moves atop a train,accompanied by srk and a host of background dancers.the song zoomed to the top of every hit list and Malaika arora khan has been among the top item song performer in bollywood since then.

Katrina Kaif doesn't really care how she looks

When Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif declared to tabloid!: "Dress for comfort on a long-haul flight, it doesn't matter how you look," you might be tempted to think that she is one of those stars who wouldn't care less if she was caught without make-up.

But her actions spoke louder than her words. In the midst of our interview on Thursday in Dubai, we were rudely interrupted by her hairdresser who scampered next to her to arrange her already perfect curls cascading down her shoulder. Our photographer was also given a stern instruction only to take pictures above the waist as the Raajneeti star was in her ballerina pumps. So much for her "it doesn't matter how you look" mantra.

But that aside, the brand ambassador for Etihad Airways said all the right things and drummed up enough emotion on topics that excited her. Surprisingly, the face of a UAE airline was reluctant about speaking about her best or worst holiday experience but was far more articulate when it came to being Bollywood's most searched celebrity on the internet [her name throws up a whopping 41,500,000 results on Google, previous top hit Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's name generates only 40,300,000 results].

"I think it's fun. Because, it means that people are interested in you. It's a sign that people will come and see your work. No matter how they term it - say cute, attractive or sexy. As long as I have audience acceptance, I am happy with it," said Kaif.

The 26-year-old actress, who made her Bollywood debut in the box-office debacle Boom in 2003, now has several blockbusters under her belt, including Welcome, Singh Is Kinng and Raajneeti. In less than a decade, this British-Asian actress, who started off as a pretty face with anglicised Hindi, is now being featured prominently in the Best Actress Award categories.

Excerpts from the interview:

Congratulations are in order. How does it feel to be nominated in the Best Actress category for Raajneeti at the IIFA (Indian International Film Awards) this year?

Actually, I haven't seen the nominations. Thank you for giving me the good news. It's very nice to know that the film was appreciated. It's equally amazing to know that a film of that genre [political thriller] was accepted. Even the producers didn't expect it to be a commercial success. That's a great thing.

Are you turning to more serious roles after its success?

I love all my films. I am extremely attached to them and I stand by them. My rule of thumb is if the audience has accepted a film, I don't think there's any need for discussion after that, at least not in my head.

After that, I don't look at each review or statement made about it. At the end of the day, there will be thousands of opinions since everybody is free to make it. As long as my audience accepts my films, my job is done. I remember when I took on New York, all the industry people thought it would go nowhere. But it did.

Your next film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is creating quite a buzz. What's it about?

Zindagi is one of those films like my Raajneeti or New York. It's in a different space and is not your typical comedy like Singh Is Kingg, Welcome or Ready. It's a film in which the audience has to just grab on to it and go along with it. It has an engaging story. I just hope that it will connect to the youth in a big way like Dil Chahta Hai. It has the same potential because it captures a phase in your life filled with uncertainties, that phase where there's a lot of pressure from the parents' end or pressure to conform to what the society expects of you. It talks about doing what your heart wants as opposed to what's expected of you. And I believe if that clicks with the audience, the film will be very successful in its own right.

Is there an item song like Sheila Ki Jawani (her saucy number from her latest film Tees Maar Khan) in it?

No. There's no Sheila in Zindagi because if there was an item song in every film I did, Sheila wouldn't have been such a big phenomenon. My biggest challenge is to do something different in every film. It's such a tough call as an actress. Yes, I am doing a film like My Brother Ki Dulhan, which has five songs and lots of dancing. It's your full-on commercial film, but if you take that formula again and again, then I am just opting for the easy route. That's not done.

What attracts you to a role?

As long as a film is intriguing, I will do the role. I don't know if you will term Raajneeti as a serious role, but I found it engaging. I have no interest in doing a film that is serious and that critics will like.

How does it feel to top the World's Sexiest Woman polls (FHM India magazine) and to be one of the most searched celebrities in the world?

I think it's just fun. It's similar to the feeling you get when your film or advertisement does well. It just shows acceptance in your work. It also means that people are interested in you and it's a sign that they will come and see your films. It just shows they like no matter how they term it say cute, attractive or sexy.

Do you think you are a misunderstood celebrity? (Rumour has it that she is not Miss Popular among her Bollywood peers.)

Apart from one or two incidents, I don't generally see anything of that sort. Yes, I read everything that's written about me. [Shrugs].

Are you happy with the progress you have made in Bollywood?

I can't complain. If anybody was in my place and complained, that would be very sad and ungrateful. I am extremely thankful but I can't afford to be complacent. Knowing that there are lot of filmmakers putting a lot of faith in me with different kinds of films, is my focus.

Quote unquote:

" I don't generally wear high heels and put my leg up — that's just a piece of creative liberty." — Katrina Kaif about the Etihad Airways advertisement featuring her in the background.

"Dubai is a very lucky place for me. All my successful films have been shot here. Thank you all."

"When will I get married? When somebody asks me!"

The Big Tunes

“What makes Bollywood unique among world cinema is its use of song and dance in films,” Bedi says. “It’s the only film industry in the world where people get all of their music from films.”

There is no shortage of music during the three-day affair. Indian hit singer Sonu Nigam will share the stage with Jermaine Jackson to commemorate the late King of Pop during IIFA Rocks.

“Wе were fortunate to have met with Michael Jackson in 1996 when we brought hіm to India for hіѕ first concert in the country,” Sabbas Joseph, director of the IIFA, said in a statement. “With IIFA in Toronto, we will be honouring the incomparable Michael Jackson’s memory.”

Acclaimed musical trio and film composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy will also perform at Ricoh Coliseum and participate in a one-day workshop with the public. Meanwhile, the city of Mississauga is hosting a free concert Friday at Celebration Square featuring 50 performers including Bollywood singer Monali Thakur whose hits include Zara Zara Touch Me and Khwab Dekhe Jhoote Moote.

The Big Films

The IIFA film festival, which features Indian blockbusters and classic films at various theatres in Markham, Brampton and Mississauga, opens with Chillar Party, actor Salman Khan’s first film as producer. The comedy follows the adventures of seven children.

Double Dhamaal will have its world premiere in Brampton. The star-packed sequel to the first hit comedy, Dhamaal, stars Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffery, Arshad Warsi and Aashish Chaudhary as four hapless jokers trying to get rich with Sanjay Dutt as their nemesis and Mallika Sherawat as his wife.

Imran Khan stands up against the raised age bar for alcohol consumption

The Maharashtra Government recently raised the age bar for the purchase and drinking of alcohol from 21 years to 25 years and actor Imran Khan has taken an initiative to stand up against this decision of the Government.

Imran has said he would file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the court because he feels that it is unconstitutional for the government to bar a person’s freedom of choice despite being an adult.

“I will go to court. I will launch Facebook campaign on Power to You. I met a lot of people and heard a lot of discussion but no one does anything. It is a problem with this country,” he said.

“If the government things that you are an adult at 21, then they should allow you all the rights of an adult,” he added.

“I would request the entire country to support me. I want the people of this state and the nation to be with me. It [government move] is dangerous, personal freedom is being limited. “Ultimately where will it stop?” he asked.

Senior actor Amitabh Bachchan also seems to support Imran in his view as posting on his Twitter account, he said, “Also, on drinking age limit increase to 25 ! Err .. old and mature enough to vote for the country, or join army and fight for the nation … but not old and mature enough to be told when you are allowed to drink ???? Strange ?!!!!”

Riya, Raima, Moonmoon Sen are new face of lifestyle brand
