Akshay Kumar out, Deepika opts for Rajnikant….


Deepika Padukone has finally chosen superstar Rajnikahnt over Akshay Kumar. Last week, news had it that Deepika was approached for a film opposite Rajinikanth, but the actress couldn’t decide due to unavailability of dates. .But now, Deepy has finally made her choice.
The actress has apparently stepped out Housefull sequel opposite Akshay Kumar and decided to work with Rajnikant (Who wouldn’t want to work with the superstar after the stupendous success of Robot???). Though rumors have it that Akki is not really happy with Deeps, Deepika on the other hand feels the bargain is worth it. However, Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer of Housefull, seems to have no issues with the actress over her opting out from the film. He does understands Deepika’s professional decision and respects it.
The film titled Rana, the superstar will be seen in a triple role. The film will be produced by his daughter Saundarya Rajinikanth. Deepika has heard the script and liked it.
This is surely like a dream come true for Deepika…

‘Let bygones be bygones’: Deepika says to Katrina… They are friends now….


The year 2011 is seeing some of the most inconceivable patch-ups in Bollywood. And Karan Johar’s parties have always been a place for patch-ups. Last year at his birthday bash, Aishwarya and Shah Rukh mended their differences. And this year, KJo’s Tuesday night bash post his Filmfare success for Best Director, proved to be another patch-up venue.
Guess who patched up this time???
Well, They are none other than the gorgeous Bollywood beauties, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif… They finally ended their ongoing cold war and this time, it was Deepika who made the first move.
Both the divas grabbed a lot of attention when they were seen talking at the party. While the two were busy making up for what had happened in the past, their respective ‘good friends’ Siddhartha Mallya and Ranbir Kapoor were standing comfortably far apart.
Says an eyewitness, “Deepika broke the ice. She walked up to Katrina and told her, ‘Let bygones be bygones. Jo ho gaya so ho gaya. I hold nothing against you. I don’t blame anybody. I have moved on in life and am in a very happy space now”.
What was Katrina’s reaction???
Revealed the witness, “Katrina was a bit surprised, but she quickly gathered herself and told Deepika, ‘Oh, that’s fine.
I am very happy that you spoke to me. The load is off my chest’.”

After the patch episode, the two looked extremely comfortable with each other in the party.
The two actresses have not been on talking terms for more than two years. Before this, they had crossed paths on several occasions but had ignored each other completely.
If sources are to be believed, Karan wanted Deepika and Katrina to star in Dostana 2.
Lets hope, KJo’s dream may just materialize…

Salman hates ‘Bollywood’…


Salman Khan has a deep hatred for Bollywood…. Okay guys! Chill… He just dislikes the name “Bollywood”.
Amitabh Bachchan often cribs about the name given to our film industry. According to him, the name Bollywood makes the Hindi film industry sound like a poor imitator of Hollywood. It’s a derogatory name, according to Big B.
Salman Khan doesn’t feel any different.
“Hate this bloody name, Bollywood. Koi naam hai kya? Disgusting,” Khan tweeted.
But Khan’s dislike for ‘Bollywood’ may not change things much as the name has already found a place even in the Oxford dictionary.

Deepika to learn director Prakash Jha’s way of working….


While shooting for Aarakshan in Bhopal, Prakash Jha apparently asked the movie’s lead actress Deepika Padukone to report on the sets on time.
This is Deepika’s first movie with Jha, and naturally the actress is new to his way of working. While Deepika usually arrives late on the sets, Jha on the other hand is very punctual and likes to finish his shoot on time. Not just Deepika but her co-star Saif Ali Khan, who plays a professor in the film, is also rarely on time.
“Deepika and Saif are invariably late for the shooting despite there not being many options for partying in Bhopal,” a source is quoted telling a daily.
Perhaps, they should take a cue from their co-star Amitabh Bachchan, who even after spending decades in the industry continues to be a well-disciplined actor. Big B, who plays a pivotal role in the film, is always on time.

At the recent Filmfare Awards, Ranveer Singh, fame of Band Baaja Bharaat, bumped into his ex girlfriend. His face was worth watching. He went red as a tomato when he suddenly ran into her.. However, his ex, handled the situation in a matured manner. “Both greeted each other cordially. It was an awkward moment but thankfully it was over very soon,” said a source present there.
Well, very few of us are aware that this newbie once was in a very steady relationship. He is now being rumored to be dating his co- star Anushka Sharma. Ranveer was dating Gopika Malkan, who is a costume designer for films.
Says a source close to Ranveer, “Gopika and he were seeing each other for almost a year before he became an actor. Although it has been long since they parted ways, both Ranveer and Gopika still remain friends. They are cordial with each other whenever they meet.”
Throughout the show, both Ranveer and Gopika were very aware of each other’s presence in the hall. While Ranveer was nominated for Best Debutant, Gopika was nominated for Best Costume Designer for Udaan.
“They are in the same industry and will keep bumping into each other more often,” said the source.
What Ranveer has to say about this entire episode???
Giving a long pause, Ranveer said, “Gopika is just a friend. I did not meet her at the Filmfare Awards.”
Gopika also gave the “Just Friends” tag to her relationship. “Ranveer is a very good friend but I was certainly not dating him,” she added.
Well, whatever be it, we just hope Anushka Sharma is not hurt in the middle… :)

Aamir will be the baddie in Dhoom 3


After months of discussions, Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan has finally said YES to Dhoom 3. The superstar signed on the dotted line last night. He will be seen playing a baddie which was essayed by John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan in the first and the second part respectively. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will once again play the cop and his tapori sidekick.
The film’s script and storyline is being kept secret, but Aamir Khan has himself confirmed that he was ‘highly impressed’ when he heard the script.
Says a source, “Last year in June, Aamir had met YRF scion Aditya Chopra, who had given Aamir an idea of how he envisaged him in Dhoom 3. Aamir had liked what he heard.
A detailed script narration took place thereafter on August 13 last year. After that, Aamir mulled if he should do the role or not. But then, Aamir always takes time to commit. And once he does, you know that he lives up to the expectations.”
Adds the source, “Aamir will have a very stylized look in the film. Aditya and Aamir have started working on the look.”
Dhoom 3 will not be directed by Sanjay Gadhavi but by Vikram Acharya (aka Victor) who wrote Dhoom and Dhoom 2 and also directed Tashan.
Dhoom 3 is slated for a Christmas release next year

Box Office Reports(Dil toh Baccha Hai JI)........


Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest release “Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji” starring Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Shruti Haasan and Shraddha Das received mixed response from critics as well as audiences. The flick took a dull start at box office on Friday but picked up slightly in the evening. It had just 40% response at most urban places on Friday morning.
With good reviews coming the film’s way and audience reaction too ranging from decent to good with no one having anything contrary to say, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji pretty much seems en route to turning into the biggest grosser ever for Madhur Bhandarkar after Fashion (which had netted Rs.27 crores).
Hopefully, the collections will rise considerably in the coming days.
Aamir Khan’s “Dhobi Ghat” on the other hand made a collection of Rs 13 crore in the box-office on its first week.
Dharmendra’s home production “Yamla Pagla Deewana” is doing well all over North India and the film is in the cusp of making approximately Rs 50 crore after its two weeks.

Arunoday Singh and Aditi Rao kiss every time they quarrel…. Mounts up to 22 times



Arunoday Singh and Aditi Rao have broken Mallika Sherawat’s onscreen kissing record by kissing 22 times in Sudhir Mishra’s upcoming film Yeh Saali Zindagi. In the film Arunoday and Aditi play the role of a lead couple, who are based outside Delhi. They share the screen space with Irrfan Khan and Chitrangada Singh.
Director Sudhir Mishra believes that a kiss is an aesthetic and natural expression of love than hip-shaking. However, he has had to do away with kissing scenes in the past as the actors have been reluctant.
“Aditi and Arunodoy play a young couple based in Delhi. They kiss every time they quarrel. And they quarrel a lot,” says Mishra.
The censor board is already upset over the film’s title, is surely not going to take the smooches gently.
“I am not bothered. If the censors think kissing is evil, I’ll ask them to get a reality check. We can’t manage with flowers quivering on screen. The audience will guffaw at us!” says Mishra.

Why are Hrithik and Suzzane disappointed???


Hrithik Roshan and wife Sussanne Roshan attended the Filmfare Awards on Saturday night expecting to take home a trophy for Best Actor for a stellar performance in Guzaarish. Sadly, it was not to be.
Adding to their disappointment, the show’s hosts Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan enacted a spoof on Guzaarish. Imran dressed up as Hrithik while Ranbir mimicked Aishwarya Rai.
With a feeling of disappointment, the Roshans left early.
Shahrukh Khan won the Best Actor (Popular Choice) for his role in My Name Is Khan. And the Critics’ Choice Best Actor statuette was bagged by Rishi Kapoor for his role in the small-budget film Do Dooni Chaar.
Clearly, it wasn’t a night to enjoy for Hrithik. The actors Guzaarish may not have been fulfilled, but he turned up for the event with wife Suzanne looking like a winner.
Sussanne later expressed her disappointment on Twitter: “Just came back from Filmfare. Sometimes in life we get what we don’t deserve…makes it difficult to understand what’s the logic in all this.”

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are trying their best to spend quality time with each other. Just last week, the duo were spotted enjoying a car ride on the streets of Mumbai, yet again Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor have been seen partying together at a suburban lounge.
The two can’t hide it any longer. There is something definitely brewing between the so called “just friends”. And this time, like always, they didn’t speed away from prying eyes and less wary about being seen together.
Ranbir and Katrina were spotted partying together at a suburban lounge in Juhu on Friday. They stayed for a good number of hours and were having a good time.
“The two actors walked in together around midnight and spent quite some time at the lounge. They were oblivious of the onlookers there.” says an eyewitness. “Soon, there were hushed whispers amongst the guests present, speculating if they were a couple or not.” added the eyewitness.
Defending Katrina, a friend of hers said, “Katrina had gone to the lounge to have dinner with the cast and crew of My Brother Ki Dulhan. Ranbir was already present there with his friends.”

Well, the coincidence, must was a pretty romantic one… ;)
