Imran Khan set to file a PIL against new ruling…..

Imran Khan set to file a PIL against new ruling… The new law raising the alcohol consumption age to 25 in Maharashtra, is not being favored by many Bollywood stars. Actor Imran Khan appears to have taken it upon himself to file a PIL against the new ruling.
Currently, media is abuzz that the ‘Delhi Belly’ protagonist Imran Khan feels that raising of the drinking age to 25 in Maharashtra is absolutely unfair, as when people can vote and marry at 18 and have kids at 21, then why cant they chose to drink or not to drink at an early age.
Imran says he doesn’t endorse nor wish to promote drinking among youth. But what he’s concerned about is the right of freedom to choose for the youngsters who are mature enough to take important decisions like marriage.
Imran’s call to action has his I Hate Luv Storys co-star Sonam Kapoor saying cheers as well.
“If you can vote, get married, have children, drive a car… why on earth can’t you drink? It’s ridiculous we are not living in the dark ages,” said Sonam.
Amitabh Bachchan has tweeted: “On drinking age limit increased to 25 ! Err .. old and mature enough to vote for the country, or join army ..and fight for the nation…but not old and mature enough to be told when you are allowed to drink ???? Strange ?!!!! (sic) .”
Many other Bollywood stars have also spoken against the ruling.

South India charmed by Salman’s presence…..

South India charmed by Salman’s presence… Once you are friends with Salman Khan, he will always be there for you, when you need him. Well, South stunt master FEFSI Vijayan can vouch for that.
Salman Khan especially flew down to Chennai yesterday to attend the music launch of Markandeyan, which stars Sabarish, son of FEFSI Vijayan, in the lead role.
FEFSI Vijayan is the man who has directed the stunts of Salman Khan’s films such as Wanted, Dabangg and the upcoming Bodyguard. Salman shares a very good rapport with him, and when Vijayan invited Salman to grace the music launch of Markandeyan, Salman promptly agreed.
At the music launch, Salman, along with south stars Shriya Saran and actor Vijay lit the ceremonial lamp and launched the music. Despite the presence of a few Tamil film stars, it was Salman Khan who hogged everyone’s attention.

Aishwarya’s ‘Heroine’ look, leaked…

Aishwarya’s ‘Heroine’ look, leaked… Director Madhur Bhandarkar’s film Heroine, which had Kareena Kapoor as the leading lady initially, now has Aishwarya Rai essaying the lead lady’s role. And if buzz is to be believed, Ash’s has a very very bold role to play.
The above pic is a leaked look of Aishwarya Rai from the film’s set. Despite employing 15 to 17 security guards at the shooting location to keep Ash’s look of a fading superstar a top secret, some crew member clicked Ash’s photos and leaked it out.
According to a source, “Aishwarya’s character in the film has the shades of gray, but from start to end it remains an ultra glamorous character.”
‘Heroine’ has Aishwarya Rai playing a brutally ambitious actress who uses people to achieve fame. Yet, there is a vulnerable side to the character as well. Actor Arunoday Singh plays Aishwarya’s boy toy in the movie.

Reason behind Sanju Baba’s baldness….

Reason behind Sanju Baba’s baldness… Sanjay Dutt has gone bald for his movie Agneepath, an extreme decision he had to take. Dutt didn’t initially want to get his head shaved to play the villain in producer Karan Johar’s remake of the yesteryear hit Agneepath. But blame it on the scorching sun that made it almost impossible for Dutt to shoot with prosthetic make-up.
The temperature in the Diu (that’s where the film is being shot), was a soaring 48 degrees celsius and the prosthetic make-up he had on (which took three hours to apply and would take an hour-and-a-half to remove) began melting away.
To avoid continuity hiccups in his other films, Sanjay Dutt had roped in the Hollywood make-up expert Robin Slater to give him the bald look. But the make-up sessions were long and tiresome. So he took the bold decision and went bald.
As for the continuity of his other films, a wig is being designed in the likeness of Dutt’s original hairdo.
Dutt says, “I couldn’t have handled the make-up mess after a point. It was too tiring. Also, it was a strain on my eyes as prosthetic make-up is heavy.”
