“Its official! @sonakshisinha is part of one of the films I’m looking forward to watching the most. ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAI..AGAIN,” said Sonakshi Sinha’s brother, Luv on Twitter.

After playing similar characters in Dabangg and upcoming films Rowdy Rathore and Joker she will work opposite Akshay kumar one again. In Once Upon A Time In Mumbai 2, Akshay Kumar will play an underworld don Shoaib and Sonakshi will be featured as Mandakini who falls in love with Shohaib. The film will also star Imran Khan who will play Akshay’s rival.

Earlier it was suggested Sonakshi was not sure about playing Akshay kumar’s girlfriend because of the bold scenes involved however the directors have decided to edit the scenes and Sonakshi is happy with the new decision.

Reportedly, earlier Kareena Kapoor and Kangana Ranuat were approached for this role. This is Sonakshi’s third outing with Akshay. She has teamed up with the ‘Khiladi’ in Shirish Kunder’s ‘Joker’ and Prabhu Deva’s ‘Rowdy Rathore’. Both the films are slated to release this year.

The sequel to ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’ stars Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi and Imran Khan in lead roles and will be directed by Milan Luthria. Akshay will be playing Shoaib, a character modelled on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in the movie.

Akshay recommends Katrina for Murugadoss’s project

Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar are two of the most loved stars in tinsel town. Both of them have established themselves in the world of glitz and glamuor with amazing success.

According to reliable sources Akshay Kumar who earlier worked with Katrina in six films has recommended the actress name once again to star with him.

A source told, when the ‘Ghajini’s’ director AR Murugadoss approached the action man for his next Hindi project, Akshay was quick to suggest that the heroine’s role had to be played by Salman’s ex Katrina Kaif. Murguadoss is very happy with Akshay’s suggestions and is in talks with the actress.

A source supported Akshay’s opinion on this one and said that it seemed as the most logical move since Kat and Akki had churned out six massive hits together in the past. The source added that the actors shared a very good rapport and had great on-screen chemistry.

Nevertheless the source stated that the only hitch could be Katrina’s hiked fees which had been a sore point when she had been approached for superstar Rajnikanth’s film.

But, the issue is that Kat has recently hiked her fees and that was the reason behind her rejecting Rajnikanth’s Tamil film. Apart from that, she will have to check her dates as she is currently busy with Yash Chopra’s untitled film with SRK.

Well, it looks like, despite their past rumoured link-up, Akki and Kat are still on friendly terms and all set to work together again. We hope this spells box office magic once more!

The actor's next film, Talaash, is also co-produced by his Aamir Khan Productions.

Iranian beauty Maryam Zakaria, who grabbed attention by sharing screen space with Kareena Kapoor in mujra number ‘Dil Mera Muft Ka’. She also has a crucial role in the film ‘Agent Vinod’ as Farah Faqesh. Now, Maryam has also been chosen to sizzle in an item song for Rowdy Rathore to be choreographed by Prabhu Deva. Earlier Karisma Kapoor was to do the number.

Maryam was seen grooving alongside Kareena Kapoor in the spy thriller in the 'mujra' song 'Dil Mera Muft Ka' and will now sway to a fast-paced item song in 'Rowdy Rathore' directed by Prabhu Deva.

"I am doing an item song in 'Rowdy Rathore'. In the song I have an Indian look. It is a catchy, fast-paced song. I don't dance with Akshay or Sonakshi in the song," Maryam told PTI.

Produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ronnie Screwvala, 'Rowdy Rathore', remake of Telugu film 'Vikramarkudu', features Akshay Kumar in a double-role opposite Sonakshi Sinha and is slated for release in June.

The item number is choreographed by none other than prolific dancer Prabhu Deva himself and Maryam admits that she struggled to get the right moves.

"Prabhudeva has a unique style of dance which is tough. I am happy that I am getting to do something different. It was a challenge to do a song choreographed by him, but I loved doing
it," she said.

Responding to a buzz that the item number was initially offered to actress Karishma Kapoor, Maryam says, "I am not aware if Karishma was offered this song or not... I am happy with the fact that this offer came to me."

Maryam is a known figure in South. This actress-model and choreographer has featured in a number of ads with noted Bollywood actors like Vivek Oberoi and Saif Ali Khan. She has also featured in various musical videos of pop artists from India and abroad. But she shot to fame with her dancing skills and will soon be seen in Agent Vinod as Farah Faqesh.

Bollywood filmmakers have their own favourites

Bollywood has a new dispensation. It’s not about getting into a camp or belonging to a clique, but clearly – filmmakers are identifying with stars, who they perceive as being "lucky" for their projects based on their Box Office appeal and success.

Vidya Balan set the ball rolling with her successful performances in first The Dirty Picture and then, Kahaani. And director Sujoy Ghosh lost no time in declaring that there was no question of doing a film after Kahaani without repeating the talented actress as his lead protagonist. There is already a buzz in Bollywood that top actors like the Khan triumvirate – Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh, are showing interest in Vidya and her work. None of them have worked with her as yet and would naturally be keen on doing so, now.

Actually, credit for this trend ought to go to Sajid Khan, who started it long ago by signing up Akshay Kumar for all his films after Heyy Babyy. But with Sajid, it’s also to do with friendship. Sajid, who is confident that Akshay will prove good for him again in Housefull 2 that releases next month, says, "Akshay has always been special to me and it’s a pleasure to work with him. He will always be a part of my films. Heyy Babyy was Akshay’s first 50 crore grosser and Housefull 2 will surpass all that."

It seems the daredevil tag no longer belongs to Akshay Kumar. The actor, known for his machismo, seems to be losing the charm offlately. Akshay is not just restricted to comic roles on the silver screen, but is also losing his grip on the small tube. Our very own Khiladi Kumar has been replaced by a sexy model Angela Jonsson for a soft-drink commercial.

Akshay’s gravity defying stunts have been the talking point of the commercial all these years, but 2012 has something else in store for the actor. As he has been dropped from the commercial and the Kingfisher model will now let her beauty and oomph do the talking.

The new advert 'Aaj Kuch Toofani Karte Hain' has a fresh and energetic look to it and it shows the leggy lass Angela share screen space with south Indian action hero, Mahesh Babu and model-turned-actor Sahil Shroff.

The ad has already gone viral on the internet and only time will tell if the sexiness will able to defy the machismo.
