Bollywood SuperStars

Well what if Bollywood’s King Khan doesn’t want to work for you… what do you do… well you go to King Kumar instead. That’s exactly what top name filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra has done. Apparently, the man behind the successful Munna Bhai flicks had been trying to get Shah Rukh Khan to work for a film under his banner. Shah Rukh initially decided he would but then later backed out. Now, with another King emerging in Bollywood, Chopra has approached the action comedy star Akshay Kumar. Chopra approached Kumar with the idea while he was attending the success bash for Singh Is Kinng. A source reveals, “Vidhu was hovering around the Kinng Kumar throughout the party. He left no stone unturned to let him know how much he loved him in SIK and other recent releases. Vidhu’s last film was a dud and now he plans to make a commercial quickie with Akki. After making some small talk with the actor, Chopra offered Akshay a lift back home so he could talk business on the way.”
The source continues, “Akki was initially apprehensive but later on, he agreed to drive back with Chopra. Once on the road, the maker bounced off the idea of the film, which he intends to direct. Akki heard the story during the short drive from the J W Marriott to his home in Juhu but it is not clear if he agreed to do the film as his calendar is genuinely cramped up with future dates.”

Though the whole tinsel town knew about it, Kangana Ranaut has now for the first time admitted being in love with newcomer Adhyayan.Kangana and Adhyayan (son of Shekhar Suman ) have been linked together ever since they began shooting the Bhatts’ film Raaz 2 in South Africa. Not only did the duo bond well during the film’s shooting, they spent a lot of time together in the gym and would often go out in the evenings.The media, as is usually the case, jumped the gun and linked them together. The speculation got some legitimacy when Kangana attended the premiere of Adhyayan’s debut film Haal-e-Dil , which, sadly, turned out to be a miserable flop and had Adhyayan in a mere brief role.All this while, Kangana and Adhyayan maintained that they were “just good friends”.But now, the duo has opened up about their relationship.In a tabloid interview, Kangana has admitted being in love with Adhyayan since last five months.“Adhyayan is the man in my life…Initially, we were very good friends.

We became close gradually,” Kangana is quoted as saying.
Adhyayan also admits being “madly in love” with Kangana.

Vikram is very much pleased about his participation in the Hindi film to be directed by Mani Ratnam, which stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Bachchan. He says it will be a grand, valuable, and unique experience. Mani Ratnam is making a film in Hindi and Tamil. In Hindi, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are the lead actors and in Tamil, Vikram and Aishwarya Bachchan play the lead roles. Vikram also plays a prominent role in the Hindi version, the details of which are kept under wraps and which Vikram was not willing to share.Vikram said he is not just happy, he is very excited to share screen space with two great actors of Bollywood - Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Bachchan - in his very first Hindi film. He said this film will make him prominent in Bollywood; he has no dreams of acting in Bollywood films though.

He added that his Hindi is excellent, but he does not think he will be able to match either of these actors in dialogue delivery as it is not his mother tongue. But he said that he will definitely work on matching them in dialogue delivery. This mega project will be produced simultaneously in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu.

Rani Mukerji comes from a film-oriented family of Bengali origin. Her father Ram Mukherjee is a retired director and one of the founders of ‘Filmalaya Studios’. Her mother Krishna was a playback singer. Her brother Raja Mukherjee is a film producer, now turned director. Her maternal aunt, Debashree Roy, was a Bengali-film actress and her cousin Kajol is a Bollywood actress. Mukerji is a trained Odissi dancer, and began learning the dance in tenth grade. Mukerji studied at Maneckjee Cooper High School in Juhu, and later enrolled at Mithibai College in Mumbai. Her trade mark is her ‘husky voice’. Rani Mukherji, after playing an angel in Kunal Kohli’s Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, is all set to play a cricketer in Yash Chopra’s next film.After a spate of flops, Rani Mukherjee kept a low profile, but recently the actor seems to be going all out to make her presence felt. Is Rani feeling left out?
After giving flops like thoda pyar thoda magic, laga chunri mein daag, tara rum pum pum, Rani Mukherji is surely feeling the pinch, and is makin all the efforts to be friends with the media, “Pehle toh main Press ko hello bolna chahti hoon jo hamesha mujse naraj rehte hain, hello.”
Is it that the media is ignoring Rani or is she ignoring the media? The questin remains unanswered.

Akshay Kumar and Tusshar Kapoor shared sparkling chemistry, playing cops in Rajkumar Santoshi’s KHAKEE. In a few scenes Tusshar managed to hold his own against an ‘in-crackling-form’, Akshay Kumar. Unfortunately, the two were not seen together again, barring a badly made INSAN. Was Akshay Kumar the reason and is that why Tusshar is saying that Akshay Kumar is a loser?
Well, don’t read too much into the lines and we will tell you exactly why! Actually in his next venture, C KKOMPANY, Tusshar plays a character called Akshay Kumar, a journalist (crime reporter) who hosts a late night TV show called ‘Khalbali’, and is shown as a complete loser in life. Tusshar is quick to point out that he is very unlike his C KKOMPANY screen avatar and has a very positive attitude towards life. The hilarious C KKOMPANY also stars Tusshar’s sister, the self made and admirable Telly queen, Ekta Kapoor for the first time, along with Karan Johar. The film is all set to hit the screens this Friday along with Farhan Akhter’s ROCK ON!!, Bobby Deol’s CHAMKU and Sameer Dattani’s MUKHBIIR.

The stomach certainly seems the way to a man’s heart especially in Ameesha Patel’s case. The actress is learning to cook different kinds of dishes and even go grocery shopping. All because industrialist beau Kanav Puri is a big foodie.Ameesha says, “Kanav is the only man I’ve cooked for. I am learning more as he’s into food and eating. During my college days, I used to cook chicken roast, bake cakes and even make daal as well as beef steak.”But after becoming an actress, she didn’t have time to pursue cooking due to the hectic shooting schedule. “But now that I am living on my own, I often go shopping at the supermarket for foodstuff. I am constantly sourcing various types of cheese and meats as Kanav loves lambs, pork and hams. Nowadays, even if I make a simple sandwich, I try and make it interesting.”She states that she has always had a sense of taste and flavour. “Even when I am making chaat or bhelpuri, I mix and show everything to my cook so he can do it up properly.”
Ameesha adds, “Now the best dishes I can whip up are pasta and kheema mutton curry.”

While Aamir Khan is seen at various events these days, he has been avoiding parties of close friends ever since the SRK-Salman fight at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party at Olive on July 16. “Aamir is playing a wait- and-watch game as both Salman and Shah Rukh are his friends. Aamir feels the fight was a childish thing and he wants them to patch up. He has been bonding openly with Salman and avoiding Shah Rukh at parties. Ritesh Sidhwani’s birthday party was the third one he skipped in the last two weeks.First, he made Rani Mukerji postpone her house-warming bash at her Juhu bungalow from August 9 to 12 as he was shooting for an ad. But he did not attend Rani’s party as he had to attend the Gollapudi Srinivas Memorial in Chennai.”After Rani’s party, Aamir also skipped Saif Ali Khan’s birthday at Four Seasons in Worli organised by Kareena Kapoor. Adds the source, “Aamir conveniently stayed out of the country that week. Saif’s party was attended by Shah Rukh. Aamir stayed away to avoid any awkwardness at both Rani and Saif’s parties as he knew SRK would be present .”But finally, Aamir couldn’t avoid parties any more. Says the source, “At Ritesh’s party last week, he came but only to pick up wife Kiran and didn’t even step in to wish Ritesh.”

Sallu’s ultimatum
It is learnt that Aamir doesn’t want to give Salman the impression that he is pally with SRK especially in the current situation when Salman has given an ultimatum to his friends and family that those who want to be friends with Shah Rukh can keep away from him. Aamir wants to show that he’s on Sallu’s side as he’s keen to make films with him for his production house most notably, Raj Kumar Santoshi’s sequel to Andaz Apna Apna.However a source close to Aamir maintains that the actor’s distancing himself from parties is not because of Shah Rukh but because he got a rude shock when the two Khans fought. “Aamir was heard telling people that he attended a party (Katrina’s birthday) after 14 years and ended up being a victim of a huge fight so he’s had enough of it. Both Salman and SRK are his friends and he wants them to remain that way without taking sides.”

All’s not well between Salman Khan and Lara Dutta. Sources reveal that the two shared icy cold vibes on the sets of 10 Ka Dum during the grand finale shoot. Last week, Salman shot for the final episode of the first season along with guests like Rani Mukerji, Anu Malik, Rakhi Sawant, Shakeel, and Lara Dutta.While Salman mingled with Rakhi and Rani and even entertained them with his one-liners, he didn’t share similar vibes with Lara. Eyewitnesses present on the set reveal that it was obvious there was some tension between the two. A source reveals, “Rani and Lara came together as guests on the show. They were very chirpy with each other but as soon as they walked on the stage to face Salman, the equation changed.”Even though Salman asked them both a common question, he was more interactive with Rani than Lara. “It was evident that Salman was more comfortable talking to Rani than Lara. Even his jokes and his one-liners were directed towards her. Lara looked like she was out of place.

“Sources reveal that problem between Salman and Lara started when Kareena replaced her in Sohail’s home production Main Aur Mrs Khanna. “Salman and Lara got along really well in Partner. But after that they really haven’t interacted much. Lara was in the running for the lead role of Main Aur Mrs Khanna but she wasn’t too happy with the way she was dropped from the film. That remained a sore point between the two. Moreover, Lara is also part of SRK’s Billoo Barber, and as Sallu detests anyone who has anything to do with SRK as of now could also be a reason.”Things were different prior to this incident. “Sallu and Lara were hanging out a lot during the Partner period. In fact, it was Salman who recommended Lara to David Dhawan for the film. There was even buzz that the two were more than just friends.” Onlookers add that even after the episode’s shoot, Salman and Rani were seen bonding together while Lara maintained her distance.

Bollywood star (oh, how she loves that phrase!) Bipasha Basu recently tore her knee doing dance steps in Bangkok. “I didn’t even know it was a tear,” she explains, “There was a lot of pain in Bangkok and I didn’t know what it was. It’s a very common occurrence in the legs of active people like dancers and athletes. There’s no cure for it. If you lead a routine life it doesn’t bother you at all. Otherwise there’s arthroscopy. But my orthopaedic surgeons have not advised it.” Bipasha is filming in Thailand for the movie Freeze with Neil Nitin Mukesh where she pushes him off the top of a building – much as she did with Saif Ali Khan in Race. “Race was a hit,” she says, “And if Freeze turns out to be a success they’ll think my pushing heroes off buildings is lucky for a film. Everyone will start writing in a ‘heroine-pushes-hero’ scene into all my scripts. I’m becoming a hero-pusher.” Bipasha, who is 29 years old and one of the most bankable stars in Bollywood with two big hits already this year in Race and Bachna Ae Haseeno, has been quite rightly commenting lately on ageism in Bollywood. Firstly, she objects to being referred to as the ‘senior’ haseena in BAH. Secondly, she has looked through the 30 age barrier and seen that the industry doesn’t offer much to the working woman these days except Mother-and-Auntie roles.

Bipasha has had a very successful career so far. Having gotten off to a good start with a Best Female Debut Award for Ajnabee, she was then nominated for a Best Actress Award for Raaz opposite Dino Morea, lifting to a higher level the horror genre in the process. Other notable films have included Jism, No Entry, Corporate, Dhoom 2, No Smoking and Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal.

Bipasha has been upset recently by scurrilous rumours in the more irresponsible Bollywood press that she has been driving a wedge in the Deepika Padukone-Ranbir Kapoor partnership during the promotional phase of the successful Bachna….. She has dismissed this out of hand. “Let me say it right now, Ranbir is not a good friend, he is a great friend,” she states for the record. “I enjoyed working with him throughout the film. Though I didn’t work alongside Deepika, I spent a lot of time with her during the promotion. I get on well with her.” Still, that kiss on screen with Ranbir does look quite remarkably hot!

Bips two next films both sound very interesting. In Phankh, she plays an imaginary character created by a boy who has to dress up as a girl for his Bollywood career; and then she is making a Bengali movie – she comes from a Bengali family herself, though born in New Delhi – which is about a woman who finds life with her poet husband confusing but when he dies and she starts reading his poetry, she begins to fall in love with him.

Things at Bollywood have not been just too encouraging for the ‘Khallas’ girl Isha Koppikar, but that doesn’t stop the girl from working hard enough to get to her goals. So, involved and determined is Isha to get the realistic touch for her upcoming RGV’s ‘Shabri’ that she is leaving no stones unturned in getting into the skin of the character. To look like a slum girl, Isha didn’t wax her body, didn’t pluck eyebrows, didn’t use any beauty products and, in fact, did not even comb her hair. But this is not all. During one shoot in a slum area of Mumbai, while the evening snacks were served, Isha, unmindfully, instead of going to her make-up van to eat, sat near a dustbin to eat like a street beggars. It was only when her make-up boy came and said ‘Didi, aap yaahan kyun baithi hain? Make up van mein chaliye,’ that she realized where she was sitting. ‘I was so engrossed in my character that I didn’t even realize what I was doing. If my make-up boy hadn’t made me realize that I was sitting beside a dustbin I would have had my snacks there,’ says Isha.

Isha has changed her walking style and has lost weight too. What we wonder is how long will she take to get to normal life once she is out of the character?

Last year, the Christmas week witnessed the release of WELCOME and TAARE ZAMEEN PAR. Both diametrically opposite films in terms of genre worked big time at the box-office. The films in question also cemented the status of the two stars associated with those films — Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan, respectively. Now Akshay and Aamir are all set to clash all over again. And it’s Christmas time yet again. Aamir’s GHAJINI is already confirmed for this date and if sources are to be believed, Akshay’s CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA is also eyeing the Christmas week. “Yes, we’re looking at the date. But right now we are more concerned about the right chain of theatres, since GHAJINI is also arriving on this date. Plus, RAB NE BANA DI JODI [releasing on December 12] would also be retaining many screens. We’ve asked Warner Bros. [partners in C.C.T.C.] to get back to us about it. Only after they are clear vis-à-vis the screens will we take a call,” Nikhil Advani tells me.

After Singh Is Kinng’s successful run, every producer in town is trying to woo Akshay Kumar. Vidhu Vinod Chopra seems ahead of the game. Recently, the producer-director met up with Akki at the success party of SIK and offered him a film. A source reveals, “Vidhu was hovering around the Kinng Kumar throughout the party. He left no stone unturned to let him know how much he loved him in SIK and other recent releases. Vidhu’s last film was a dud and now he plans to make a commercial quickie with Akki. After making some small talk with the actor, Chopra offered Akshay a lift back home so he could talk business on the way.” The source continues, “Akki was initially apprehensive but later on, he agreed to drive back with Chopra. Once on the road, the maker bounced off the idea of the film, which he intends to direct. Akki heard the story during the short drive from the J W Marriott to his home in Juhu but it is not clear if he agreed to do the film as his calendar is genuinely cramped up with future dates.”

Popular Bollywood actor Salman Khan has said for movie stars loneliness is a luxury, precious to them. ”’Art is created in loneliness and exhibited in public. Such time gives an artist ample scope for introspection and brutal self-analysis,” the actor said on his Blog yesterday.”This is what helps an actor grow as an artist and as a human being. We, movie stars, are usually surrounded by people and have a very heavy schedule,” he said and added that his father, noted script-writer Salim Khan, had once remarked that loneliness nurtures talent and creativity. Aamir Khan once said an actor’s best period is when he has no work. ”Continuous self-analysis is a dream. We have to steal moments of loneliness or should I say being alone to look within. This inward journey is highly rewarding. Our films are made amidst crowds. Even while shooting intimate love scenes, there is a crowd of at least hundred technicians present. Films are also exhibited amidst crowd of thousand spectators. Yet, we have to project emotions, intimacy and passion in a most convincing manner. But the magic of cinema, they say, is created in most difficult tricky conditions,” Salman added.

Looks like, Bipasha Basu is uneasy of late. What with rumors of her hot-n-happening chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor being the talk of the town, the Bong bombshell is quite troubled. Since Bachna Ae Haseeno, her pairing opposite the much younger Ranbir has given way to many controversies. The sizzling rapport between the duo as a live-in couple, seems to have set off many a tongues wagging. Even the real life lovers’, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir’s, relationship seems bland in comparison. Moreover, the lighthearted leg-pulling session during a reality show seems to have just fuelled the fire.  Now Bipasha is scared that her relationship with John Abraham might go awry thanks to these rumors. She clarifies, “I do not identify Ranbir with John.” She justifies the chemistry bit by saying, “People liked me and John in Jism. They expected to see us in a romantic role in Goal as well. However, the film was about football and it didn’t work for us.” Ranbir seconds her opinion by saying, “An actor’s personal life does not relate to a film. The audience liked the chemistry of the characters of Raj and Radhika played by myself and Bipasha. It is more about the script. Maybe tomorrow Deepika and I will do another romantic film in the future and it will look better than this one.”

Deepika Padukone too seems untouched by the gossip making rounds. She says, “A lot of people have liked Bipasha and Ranbir and there are many who have liked me with Ranbir. It’s about personal choices. Some couples have worked and some have not. It’s not about personal chemistry. A real life couple need not be the best onscreen couple.” Point taken!

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan says that Shilpa Shetty, who performed with him in the US for his Unforgettable concert, is upset with him for not wishing her on her birthday, especially because she believes she has a good year whenever the Big B says happy birthday to her.”The show is now joined by Shilpa Shetty. She looked lovely as always and very trim. She displayed mock anger at meeting me because I missed wishing her on her birthday. Horrible me,” Amitabh posted on his blog. Shilpa joined the Bachchans in London Saturday for the last leg of their Unforgettable tour. Amitabh wrote that due to his “frequent travel and odd timings”, he forgot the actress’s birthday, which was on June 8. Amitabh also revealed that Shilpa believes that every year that he wishes her, “her year goes off successfully”.

“I wish it goes off even better this year, though I must remember not to miss it again,” he wrote.

Salman Khan’s long forgotten past Aishwarya Rai still haunts him. It can be very well guessed from the recent stints that flashed like breaking news in the media. The Shah Rukh-Salman spat revolved around the beauty’s name. And, now Salman endeavours to groom his ‘bad boy’ image by lauding the Bachchan family. Only this time, the lass stresses that he has no issues with Aishwarya and wouldn’t ever want to hear anything ill about her. In an interview to a news daily Salman stated that he is indeed very fond of Abhishek Bachchan and the whole Bachchan family and would not like anyone speaking ill about Aishwarya.“Abhishek is like my little brother”, Salman was quoted as saying. Salman asserted that his breakup with Aishwarya was a thing of the past and he wouldn’t like to ponder over it ever again.However, he clearly doesn’t agree with suggestions that he would star in a movie with Ash. According to him, Ash had decided not to work with him and he was not interested in working with her either.

Well, this news would certainly silence the rumours about his supposed cold war with the Bachchan clan, especially Big B.

Sri Lanka’s top cricketers had a shot at Bollywood stardom when they were filmed for an upcoming movie that features some of the best players in the world. Scenes for “Victory,” a story of a small town boy who dreams of playing cricket for India, were shot in Colombo last week, with actor Harman Baweja playing against Sri Lanka’s national team. Sri Lankan stars Kumar Sangakkara, Muttiah Muralitharan and Sanath Jayasuriya were among those filmed at one of Colombo’s oldest cricket venues, the Oval. Also starring in the 10-million-dollar movie will be the Indian team, plus Australian paceman Brett Lee, England bowlers Sajid Mahmood and Simon Jones, and New Zealander Craig McMillan. “The film combines what Indians love best — cricket, music and Bollywood movies,” Sri Lankan producer Chandran Rutnam, who handled the Colombo leg of the shooting, told AFP. Rutnam said Bollywood names such as Baweja and Amrita Rao play key roles in the movie, but the biggest draw would be 40 international cricketers from seven countries, who all play themselves. “This was more difficult than actually playing cricket,” Sri Lankan paceman Dilhara Fernando told reporters here, after his first Bollywood experience.

The plot centres around a father who dreams his young son (played by Baweja) will rise from a small village in Rajasthan to play cricket for India. “Luckily, I’ve always been a cricket fan, but then I think every Indian is born loving cricket,” Baweja, 27, told reporters.Playing against some of the world’s most famous cricketers was an intimidating experience, Baweja said.”It helps that they are all going easy on me,” he admitted.Filming, which began in Sydney last December, also includes locations in India, England and Pakistan, Rutnam said.The film is intended to give a glimpse into backstage politics and the role that sponsors, selectors and managers play in the game, he said.

“Victory” is not Bollywood’s first move into cricket. “Lagaan” was released to rapturous reviews in 2001 and was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign language film.In 2003, British-made film “Wondrous Oblivion” told the story of a young Jewish cricket fan growing up next door to West Indian immigrants in south London in 1960.For “Victory” director Ajitpal Mangat, meeting the stars of the game has been one of the highlights of the marathon shoot.”These are all guys I’ve sort of admired from afar — and then here’s Murali (Muttiah Muralitharan) actually taking directions from me,” Mangat said.The film is scheduled to have its premier in January in Bombay, followed by a release in Britain.

Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta and Arjun Rampal; what do these names stand for in Bollywood? Well, they are all big names in the world of hardcore commercial cinema, having innumerable successful potboilers to their credit. Of course, the megastar, Amitabh Bachchan tops the list by a huge margin.One might say that he has done Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black, which too (because of its theme and treatment) can be labeled as art house cinema. However, The Last Lear becomes special as it is the megastar’s first English language film, directed by National Award winning director, Rituparno Ghosh, whose association with the Bachchan family is well known.The film received an overwhelming standing ovation when the world premier was held at the prestigious Toronto Film Festival.

Later it was chosen for the famous Rome Cinema Fest and London Film Festival.Coming to the performances, all the major stars have put in scintillating acts. In the film, Amitabh Bachchan shows why he is called the God of acting. In fact critics are of the view that this is Bachchan’s best after Black. Preity Zinta sheds off her glam doll image and gets into the skin of the character. She plays a struggling actress (and a bad one in the film!) with elan. Arjun Rampal is just perfect in the role of a director. It is hard to believe that it is the same Arjun whom critics used to call wooden, just a few years ago.

Neil Nitin Mukesh had a last-minute change of mind recently. The actor had signed for an untitled action thriller with a debutant director. The project has Allan Amin as action director.However, Neil decided to walk out of the film just before the shoot was to start. Sources reveal that Neil was supposed to fly to New Delhi for the first day’s shoot, but backed out en route to the airport! A source reveals, “Neil had agreed to do the film and was excited about it. A lavish set had been erected in Delhi. But before he could reach the airport, Neil did a U-turn. He called up the producers and told them he was no longer in the film. The producers had no choice but to cancel the schedule.” Neil’s publicist maintains, “There is no question of him taking on any new offers as he is booked till 2009-end.”
In the past, Neil had backed out of Tigmanshu Dhulia’s film at the last minute.
The actor is presently in the US shooting for Kabir Khan’s next with John Abraham.

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have ordered the Salman Khan-starrer Bollywood film God Tussi Great Ho off screens in this Gulf nation following complaints that it violated Islamic teachings.

The National Media Council ordered that the movie, released in India and here on Friday, not be screened in the UAE after receiving scores of complaints from viewers.

The movie also stars Priyanka Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan, and is considered a remake of the 2003 Hollywood production Bruce Almighty starring Jim Carrey.

In the film, Bachchan plays the role of god as he meets Salman’s character Arun Prajapati who blames god for all his problems.

“Those who saw the movie told the authorities they were shocked to find that Bachchan played the role of ‘god’,” reports said.

Salman Khan has opened his heart in an interview with NDTV news channel over his recent publicized spat with SRK.

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

Q: I know that you have spoken about this whole Shah Rukh Khan episode I tell what happens it’s one of those thinks that you dismissed as media gossip and it started going public that kind of made it snow ball.

Salman Khan: You know what happens usually people ask this question usually the fear is this he shouldn’t stop the interview here itself. I like this. I have spoken about this we are grown up people we are not warriors we come here to work but you grow up you are thinking he is good with his friends and family I am good with my friends and family there nothing more to it just there was a fight personal khatm ho gayi baat.

Q: What upset you so much that you want to talk about it?

Salman Khan: Because itna sources se aa raha tha ke iss source se ye aa raha hai uss source se wo aa raha hai (there was lot coming from some unconfirmed sources) the whole thing was coming on to me that he’s done it again. Suddenly I was looking like I was misfit in society as it is I don’t have like the most amazing reputation it varies from anger to bad boy to good hearted so it’s a huge confusion. So this is something I wanted to clear and there is no point in pretending I don’t feel the need to pretend his got his point of view he is right and whatever he feels so and I am right in my own way.

Q: The reports were coming that you started it.

Salman: Why would I start there was no reason for me to start.

Q: You used to stay together I’ve heard, in days of his struggle.

Salman: Yeah he used to hang out in the house all the time. That’s why.

Well what are your verdict guys after Salman’s tell-all interview?

Bollywood heartthrob Salman Khan has been off work since August 20, after he vomited on the sets of Subhash Ghai’s Yuvraj, presumably because of exhaustion. Shooting for the film has been put off till next month.Sources close to the actor revealed to us, “Salman arrived on set of Yuvraj feeling a bit unwell. Before he could begin his filming, he started vomiting. Instead of canceling the shoot immediately, as suggested by unit members, he insisted on resting a bit and then resuming. “However, after resting for two hours in his vanity van Salman vomited again, and reluctantly agree to go back home and rest. While leaving, he dismissed concerns about his health saying it was nothing more than an upset tummy.”Salman remained unwell the next day forcing another cancellation of the shoot.
“Salman had specially allotted dates to Ghai to facilitate early completion of Yuvraj, the release date for which has been brought forward to November 21. The film is around 85-90% complete.”It is now learnt that Salman has assured Ghai about his availability starting early September for the residual shooting of the film.”A close pal, of Salman also told us, “Salman had been shooting late nights in a row and hadn’t been getting proper sleep for a week till this incident happened.”

Former lovebirds, Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja are back together after hitting a rough patch a few days back. The latest buzz that’s doing rounds in the filmi town is that of a patch up between the two heartthrobs. Piggy Chops and arm candy Harman’s relationship had hit a roadblock and not long ago Priyanka had apparently dumped beau Harman. The industry insiders had suggested that it was the dismal performance of Harman’s launch vehicle ‘Love Story 2050’ that acted as the last straw in a relationship which was already strained. Some had also correlated the episode with the fact that the two were never meant to be together as Harman’s family was opposing their alliance since day one.  But as they say, all’s well that ends well. Hence, all the talk of their split up, after ‘Love Story 2050’, has been put to rest.

The two have now decided to not let work or the distance make things go haywire in their relationship. Harman, who recently lost his cell phone was gifted with a brand new handset by none other than ladylove Priyanka so that she can stay connected with her beloved.

What redemption is there for Kabir at the end?
‘Kidnap’ makes for compelling viewing as the big festival release on Eid. It features music by Pritam .

Salman has suddenly discovered a new fondness for Abhishek Bachcan. Although he won’t forgive Vivek Oberoi, Salman is more than willing to embrace Abhishek like a younger brother. “I’m very fond of Abhishek,” Salman tells all his friends these days. And so he won’t hear a word against Abhishek’s wife Aishwarya Rai either. As we had reported, even on Katrina’s birthday party, the argument between Shah Rukh Khan and Salman got serious when Shah Rukh passed some stinging comments about Aishwarya. According to an eyewitness, after the ugly spat
