Is Mr. Perfectionist trying to pose himself as a real life idiot?

She may have been Google’s most searched-for Indian celebrity and one of Bollywood’s top actors, but Katrina Kaif said the constant media glare on her personal life still rankled her.The 25-year-old actor said she hated constantly being written about but has given up trying to fight it.“What bothers me the most is that the media [...]

There was a time when directors making cameos in their own films were considered to be a fad. Now the latest trend seems to be getting an actor to do a cameo in a film that has been hyped to the hilt, without even a mention about the star’s presence.The last well-kept secret cameo that Bollywood witnessed was that of Deepika Padukone in the film Main Aurr Mrs Khanna, a film which only showcased the on-screen presence of Salman, Kareena and Sohail Khan. This time round, it is the Aftab-Aamna starrer fantasy flick Aao Wish Karein, directed by Glenn Baretto.

We found out that Aftab’s chaddi-buddy Riteish Deshmukh will be seen playing a Sardar in the film. Our sources also went to the extent of furnishing us with the snap of Riteish’s look in the film. When we spoke to director Glen Baretto, unlike many directors, this man was indeed sweet enough to admit the presence of Riteish in the film. Not just that, he also went to the extent of telling that, “Riteish is not making a cameo in the film. He is actually the grown up version of the Sardar kid whom you have seen in the promos. He plays Bonny, Aftab’s best friend.

Riteish agreed to do this as a gesture of friendship towards Aftab Shivdasani.” So friends, Aao Wish Karein that friendships in Bollywood should be as real as Aftab and Riteish!

Kareena Kapoor says there is nothing “vulgar” about her backless shot being used for the publicity posters of forthcoming release “Kurbaan”, an intense thriller about terrorism. In fact, she says, it subtly reveals a lot about the story.”This shot of me in a backless posture and Saif with a wound on his chest tell so much about the film’s theme,” Kareena told IANS.”There is love, passion and violence – all combined in here and what better way than to show it through a single still? You too would agree that there is nothing sleazy or vulgar about it. Knowing the sensibilities of Karan Johar (producer) and Rensil D’Silva (director), that’s the least one could have expected,” she added.Kareena said that after Geet in “Jab We Met”, her character of Avantika in “Kurbaan” will make people sit up and take notice.

“The girl’s role has a lot of edge in ‘Kurbaan’, something which starts becoming more and more visible as the film unfolds. In any case the film is not one of those cliched love stories. Every character has quite a few layers to it and Avantika, the character I play, is no exception. She is quite pivotal to ‘Kurbaan’,” she said.Kareena plays a professor in “Kurbaan” who gets married to her colleague, played by Saif Ali Khan. They move to New York after marriage, but as a series of events unfold she finds herself into a vortex of danger and intrigue.She further realises that she is a pawn in a huge game and no one could be trusted.”What made this role special is the fact that I play this young beautiful professor who is quite normal. She reacts to terrorism for the first time and life is never the same again for her,” she said.

“Actually if you ask me, then technically ‘Kurbaan’ is the story of this girl. She is the light of the screen. I am sure people will cry with Avantika… so strong is her characterisation,” the actress said.After “Jab We Met”, Kareena was seen in “Main Aurr Mrs Khanna”, “Kambakkht Ishq”, “Tashan” and “Golmaal Returns”. And except “Golmaal Returns”, none of the films did well at the box office. Kareena is delighted about the prospects of audiences seeing her in a different light after the film and says it is not a frothy romance drama.”‘Kurbaan’ has a deep-rooted love story to it, but it is not a frothy romantic film that we are time and again exposed to. The love story is much deeper here.There is a definite meaning, purpose and reason to it.

Also, the film is quite powerful in its own way since it’s the voice of moderate Islam,” she said. The film, which also stars Vivek Oberoi, Om Puri, Kirron Kher and Dia Mirza, is releasing Nov 20.

Like all of us, Sachin Tendulkar is also a fan of Big B. But little did we know that Big B also adores the LittleMaster. Infact Big B derives such pleasure in watching Sachin bat that he has delayed his shoot or postponed appointment innumerable times.

Big says, “It is a marvel that a sportsman can have such an extended, achievement-filled life. His recent performance (referring to Sachin’s 175 in Hyderabad) was better than all those much younger than him. He is a true genius!

On learning that Sachin is a fan of Big B, the icon said, “I am so, so humbled by this fact. It is Sachin’s greatness that he should consider me to be capable of his affection and love.”

Sachin completing his 20 years in International cricket has one more reason to smile after receiving all praises from none other than Big B himself.
