03 weeks ago
The latest buzz doing rounds in Bollywood circles is that Bollywood star Aamir Khan has once again teamed up with the 3 IDIOTS makers Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
After setting the box office on fire with their 2009 blockbuster '3 Idiots' loosely adapted from the novel 'Five Point Someone' written by Chetan Bhagat, a comedy-drama, was directed by Hirani and produced by Chopra.
Reportedly, Aamir has signed Hirani's tentatively titled film 'PK', which is to be produced by Chopra. "We have finished writing 'PK'," Hirani told reporters here last night.
Asked if the trio would team up again, Hirani said, "Yes, it would be a return." Earlier, Aamir on his birthday had said, "I would love to do Raju's (Hirani) film. But I want him to make the announcement. The script is very good. Raju is a very good director and a very good human being. We have spoken about a film, but it is better if he announces it."
This year, Aamir will be seen in 'Talaash', a psychological thriller directed by Reema Kagti which also features Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. It is slated for release either in November-end or early December. Then he has Yash Raj Films 'Dhoom 3', which is schedule to release in 2013. The shooting of 'Dhoom 3' starts in May.
Their 2009 blockbuster, 3 IDIOTS was a masterpiece and had done wonders at the box-office besides setting several new records internationally. And one is eager to watch their next venture in making.
John joins the league of SRK, Aamir, Saif and Akshay
03 weeks ago
John Abraham is all set for a new innings in Bollywood - this time as a producer of films. The actor’s production house JA Entertainment Pvt. Ltd has its first release Vicky Donor next month. But, unlike other actors-turned-producers, John doesn’t always intend to act in his own productions. And the stars of his first production are TV actors Ayushmaan Khurrana and Yami Gautam. Even before its release comes the news that Producer John has another project in mind, this time Aditya Bhattacharya’s Kala Ghoda which will be under the banner of JA Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. At the time, little is known about Kala Ghoda beyond it being an action film based on Mumbai's underbelly and the seamier side of life. But, reports are the action is a notch higher than John's gritty and bloody Force of 2011.
Other examples of actors who have turned producers are Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. SRK owns Red Chillies Entertainment and has been seen in all the films produced by this banner starting from Main Hoon Na and including Paheli in 2005, Om Shanti Om in 2007, Billu in 2009 and Ra.One last year. Aamir Khan launched Aamir Khan Productions with Lagaan in 1999 and since then, acted in almost all the movies he produced - including Taare Zameen Par in 2007 and Dhobi Ghat in 2010, but for Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na in 2008, Peepli Live in 2010 and Delhi Belly last year. The actor's next film, Talaash, is also co-produced by his Aamir Khan Productions. Akshay Kumar started Hari Om Productions with Singh is Kinng in 2008 and then acted in all the films from De Dana Dan in 2009, Khatta Meetha, Action Replayy and Tees Maar Khan in 2010, Patiala House and Thank you in 2011. In 2012, Akshay will be seen in Rowdy Rathore and Joker, which will also under his banner Hari Om Productions. Saif Ali Khan started Illuminati Films in 2009 and acted in its first production Love Aaj Kal, including Agent Vinod in 2012. The upcoming releases of the same banner are ****tail and Go Goa Gone in 2013 starring Saif Ali Khan.
Salman plays it safe with Ash at Tendulkar’s party
03 weeks ago
Sachin Tendulkar scored his 100th century on March 16, in the fourth match of the Asia Cup against Bangladesh in Mirpur; but at a party thrown by the Ambanis to celebrate that ton of tons on Monday – a different kind of game was played out.
And the leading player at this glittering do, hosted by Nita and Mukesh Ambani at their Altamont Road residence Antilla in Mumbai, was none other than Bollywood’s big scorer Salman Khan.
The party, as is known, was the Ambanis’s gesture dedicated to the Master Blaster and their Mumbai Indians IPL skipper, in honour of his achievement. And invited to it, were the A-list of Page 3 types, including the city’s who’s-who, Bollywood stars, cricketers, and captains of industry.
Bollywood, it must be mentioned – led by Amitabh Bachchan himself, was among the first cricket aficionados and Tendulkar fans to tweet congratulatory messages, when the master batsman scored his 100th ton. So its presence at the Ambani party was natural.
What was not natural, however, was the attendance of Salman at this party. The last time the Ambanis hosted a similar bash for Tendulkar in 2009 at their Cuffe Parade residence Seawind, and Salman was conspicuous by his absence. That party was anchored by Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan and also had an impressive Bollywood line-up.
And not only did Salman show up this time, but he played the perfect gentleman by keeping a respectable distance from Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who had come with husband Abhishek. According to a source, "Salman was at his sober best, he was dressed in formal attire, and with great dignity walked into greet and meet hall and took a corner seat." He was joined by his Dabangg co-star Sonakshi Sinha, her father Shatrughan, and old friend Raj Thackeray; while Aishwarya and Abhishek sat at the opposite end with Hrithik and Susanne Roshan and Ekta Kapoor.
"When Salman was asked to share a few thoughts about the man of the evening, he took the mike and spoke extempore, keeping the audience in splits with his ready wit and charm. And, though she sat just a few feet away from him on the podium, Salman studiously refrained from looking in Ash’s direction,” added the source. Abhishek was seen applauding Chulbul Pandey's heartfelt speech.
Even after the ceremony, when vegetarian delicacies and wine were being served at the roof top food court on Antilla, Salman successfully kept aloof from the crowd until Aamir Khan accompanied by Tendulkar and the Ambani couple joined him for a short animated discussion. Harbhajan Singh with Geeta Basra, Sushmita Sen and Virender Sehwag were others, who kept the Dabangg Khan busy, with Virat Kohli taking muscle building tips from Sallu bhai.
Another highlight of the evening was the scene of Priyanka Chopra, the Master of Ceremonies for this grand occasion, who is known to be close to Shah Rukh Khan, giving Salman a hug before the actor graciously departed from the venue stating he had an early shoot for Dabangg 2.
Our hundred dollar question: was there any tension in the air because of these subtle theatrics? Our source said, “You bet… as much as when Sachin Tendulkar was on 99 and waiting to score his 100th hundred at Mirpur that day!”

Jacqueline Fernandez regrets not doing ‘Krrish 3′
03 weeks ago
Bollywood actress and former Miss Sri Lanka , Jacqueline Fernandez is riding high with fame and popularity, and all of this is because of her sensuous role in “Murder 2”. Although she hogged the limelight with the movie Aladin, it was the movie Murder 2 that flooded her with lot of Bollywood offers. But in recent days the actress has walked out of three big ticket projects like Krrish 3, Race 2 and Raaz 3.
Jacqueline Fernandez, who is just three films old in Bollywood, regrets not doing “Krrish 3″ and clarifies that director Sajid Khan does not influence her decisions.
“‘Krrish 3′… I think more of my bad luck. It was unfortunate clash of dates. I felt a major burden on lot of people, so I had to make the decision. Both parties tried hard to make it work, but it didn’t work. It’s my bad luck I couldn’t do ‘Krrish 3′,” Jacqueline, who debuted in Bollywood with 2009 release “Aladin”, told IANS.
Another offer that she turned down was for Mahesh Bhatt’s “Raaz 3″ because she didn’t want to be typecast.
“Unfortunately you tend to get stereotype in the industry and that was the major concern for me. When ‘Murder 2′ released, there were lot of offers coming my way,” she said.
“When we got into the later stage of finalisation of ‘Raaz 3′, I just was not comfortable. I felt I have done it in ‘Murder 2′, so it’s time to move on. ‘Housefull 2′ was a major relief. It’s a different genre. It sees me as a lot more Indianised,” added the 26-year-old.
Countering speculation that her “Housefull 2″ director Sajid Khan is mentoring her, Jacqueline said: “There has always been a reason for my action. I am not from this industry.
“I have made my movies and career choices completely on my own. When it comes to these things, I don’t take advice. I don’t have mentors. Sajid Khan is not my mentor. People are very quick to take the credit, but are not quick to take the blame.”
Jacqueline is currently gearing up for “Housefull 2″ release. The film is scheduled for an April 5 release.
