Sanjay pumping iron for RGV’s ‘Munich’ remake
023 hours ago
Actor Sanjay Dutt is in cloud nine these days. Sanjay wowed audiences with his portrayal of the villainous Kancha Cheena in Agneepath. His name in the film, ‘Kancha Cheena’, has now become a synonym to a villain.
Now the news is that Sanjay who is enjoying the success of Agneepath, gives his nod to star in RGV's next project inspired by Steven Spielberg's "Munich". Sanjay and RGV is now working in "Department".
RGV believes that Sanju Baba is our “ last action hero” and he’s stoked to “cast him as a one-man army on a global mission.” The role model for the film is Eric Bana in “Munich” and Sanjay will pump up the iron to get into a sinewy shape to shoot for the espionage thriller.
Confirming the ambitious Rs.90 crore project, Varma said: “Yes, Sanjay Dutt and I are doing another film right after ‘Department’. I truly believe he is our last action hero. So I am going to cast him as a one-man army on a global mission. ‘Munich’ is the film I’ve in mind.”
“But it would be not just a cerebral thriller. I want Sanjay Dutt doing a lot of daring action. You see, in ‘Department’, he plays a plain clothed cop who has to blend with the crowds. So there’s little room for heroics. I want to pump up the action level dangerously in our next film. So it would be ‘Munich’ meets ‘Rambo’.”
Sanjay seems very excited about the film. “Yes, Ramu and I have discussed the project we’re doing next. It’s very exciting.”
The film will go on the floors later this year.

Do You Love Your Brother ?
01 day ago
Once there lived two brothers who lost their parents at an early age. They worked together on their family farm. Some years later, the elder married and had a family with 2 children, while the other was still single. They worked hard together in the day and at the end of each day they shared their produce equally.
One day while the single brother was working in the fields, he thought to himself, “It’s not right that we share equally everything. I’m alone and my needs are simple. My brother has a big family. He needs much more. “With that in mind, he took a sack full of grains and slowly went into his brother’s barn and placed the sack quietly. He did so every night.
Meanwhile, the married brother thought to himself, “It’s not right that we share everything equally. After all, I’m married and I have my wife and children to look after me in years to come. My brother has no family, and no one can take care of his future. He really should have a bigger share.” So each night he took a bag of grain and put it into his brother’s barn quietly.
This went on and both men were puzzled for years because their grain never dwindled. They decided to find out what happened.
Then one night, on the way to each others barn, the two brothers coincidentally meet. And they found out what was happening all these years! They dropped their bags, cried and embraced one another with tears of happiness!
Moral:
Love for your brother, what you love for yourself.!!

01 day ago
The decision was taken after Yash Chopra recently complimented the actress on her dancing prowess.
Ameesha Patel is all set to carve a new space for herself in Bollywood. The actress is very keen to do item numbers in not only her own productions but also for other banners.
At the recently held Apsara awards, Amesha Patel was the surprise performer. In fact given all the applause pouring in from not just the organisers at Wizcraft, but even Yash Chopra personally praising her for her performance, Ameesha now is keen to do more item numbers.
Interestingly just with one day’s practice, the actress danced to the tracks Chikni Chameli and Ooh La La on the stage. Ameesha who will leave for Delhi soon will also perform on these songs at a high profile wedding.
And it’s not just for her dancing skills, but Ameesha is also being paid a lot of compliments lately for her looks. The directors of Race – Abbas and Mustan – recently told her that when they saw her on the sets of Race 2, they felt that she had done a wonderful job of maintaining herself over the years.

01 day ago
Bollywood chocolate boy Imran Khan has always maintained he is a huge fan of Kareena. The stars are paired opposite to each other in Karan Johar and UTV Motion Pictures next project "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu".
Imran who has always called himself a huge Kareena Kapoor fan clicked pictures of Bebo while working together on Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. The "Delhi Belly", who had clicked random pictures of her while shooting for Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. The exhibit will be held on Friday at Art Gallery at Cinemax, Versova.
Imran had even admitted that he had a huge crush on Kareena when he was younger. “I could not articulate my feelings to her…I nursed a silent crush. When we started working together in this film we got along really well. I observed her closely while we were shooting and even took her pictures without her knowing it,” Imran had said.
"Some of the photos were taken on an iPhone while some of them were taken in SLR cameras. Our on-set photographer Amin Ahuja was helping me out on all of this because I am not a professional photographer. So I can`t take all the credit. It was because of his help," Imran said.
Kareena was completely flattered looking at her pictures and said this was the first time any co-star has clicked her photographs.
"I think it`s the first time ever one of my co-stars has clicked beautiful pictures of me. So, thank you Imran," she said.
With her co-star`s passion for photography, has Kareena tried her hands on the same?
"I have never tried my hands on photography. May be Imran can give me some lessons," said the ‘Ek Main Aur Ek Tu’ actress.
Deepika Padukone opted out of ‘Race 2′
01 day ago
Bollywood leggy lass Deepika Padukone was in the news recently after she bagged the role of a female lead in the sequel of Abbas-Mustan's "Race 2". But according to latest developments, Deepika has opted out of the film due to date issues after shooting for four days. Deepika roped into Race 2 to act opposite Saif Ali Khan.
It is interesting to note that the lady signed Abbas-Mustan’s Race 2 a while back only but now she has taken her steps backward. This is the second high profile exit after Sonakshi Sinha walked out of the mega-cast project and was replaced by Jaqueline Fernandes.
Deepika Padukone seems to have decided to quit the Saif Ali Khan-John Abraham starrer over issues with dates. She was reportedly asked by Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji to choose between their ‘Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani’ and Abbas-Mustan's ‘Race 2’. Deepika was irritated by the constarnt change in the shooting schedule of the film due to which she finally chose to walk out of the fil.
However, ‘Race 2’ producer Ramesh Taurani is still confident that Deepika will work out fresh dates as she doesn't wish to disappoint him. She may allot May 2012 for ‘Race 2’. This delay may cost the project dearly because many stars' call sheets are involved. Besides, ‘Race2’ faces another problem too. Buzz is that Sonakshi Sinha, the other girl in the movie, is also exiting the project.
