Sushmita Sen To Play Benazir Bhutto

Sushmita Sen has been recently offered
the role of Pakistan’s former lady Prime Minister Benazir
Bhutto by two prominent Pakistani producers Zaid Aziz and
Henna Rai.This film would be a bilingual film made in both
English and Urdu and would be shot lavishly in Pakistan and
England.

Apparently, Sushmita is working hard for
her character. She is reading up extensively on the life of
Benzir Bhutto and also working on her Urdu diction. (no
wonder there was all that annoyingly excessive use of
subhanallah and mashallah in Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena)

Sushmita earlier declared her love for
historical character and period flicks. We hope atleast this
film will soar her popularity in Bollywood.

Sexy Priyanka Too Hot For Her Bikini

Super Sexy former Miss World Priyanka
Chopra who floored the audiences with her dare-bare
performance in Fashion is waiting anxiously for audiences
reaction to Dostana, which is her next release.The leggy
lass has confessed working hard on her body for the film.
She says,

“For
Fashion, I had to put on six kilos and later had
to shed chip by chip as the character progressed in the
film. My body structure in Dostana is more toned
than in Fashion as it is a completely beach film.
I’ve worked very hard on my body.”

Since its a complete beach film, we would
find Priyanka Chopra dressed chic and minimal clothes apart
from bikinis.

Perhaps that’ll get you some warmth in
the November cold.

Old Is Gold But Young Is Popular bollywood news

Old Is Gold But Young Is Popular

The reigning Baadshah of Bollywood
Shahrukh Khan celebrated his 43rd birthday, Aishwarya Rai
proudly turned 35 and Tabu turned 38. Bollywood’s creme de
la creme has really come of age. Top Bollywood heroes are
all above 40 and top actresses are in their early and
mid-thirties.

Aamir Khan too is 43, Salman Khan is 42,
Akshay Kumar 41, Sanjay Dutt 49, Anil Kapoor 48. Salman Khan
still annoyingly lurks around roles of a young man waiting
to fall in love. Aamir Khan, carries his age with class and
focuses on a lot more than chocolate romance that has been
SRK’s department for a long long time. But with Rab Ne Bana
Di Jodi Shahrukh seems to show that as an actor he is quite
comfortable with his age, although Om Shanti Om was quite a
shocker in this matter.

All top Bollywood actresses are in their
thirties. Mallika 36, Aishwarya 35, Preity 33, Amisha 32,
Sushmita 32, Bipasha 31, Rani 30 and Vidya 30. Kareena
Kapoor 28, Priyanka Chopra 26 and Amrita Rao 27 are in their
late twenties and have still some time to go before their
careers start sagging but for all the beauties in their 30s,
they start worrying about their future, marriage and their
biological clock that keeps ticking faster at that age.

As far as the actresses are concerned,
these days young guns like Prachi Desai 20, Kangana Ranaut
21, Deepika Padukone 22, Minnisha Lamba 23, Asin 23, Sonam
Kapoor 23, and Katrina Kaif 24 are topping the popularity
charts along with guys like Ranbir Kapoor 26 and Imran Khan
25 who are just in their mid-20s.

Some people like Mallika Sherawat and
Bipasha Basu have gone at length to hide their original age.
Bipasha who went around the world saying she is 29 only is
actually 32 years old. Her school junior from Bhartiya Vidya
Bhavan, Kolkata who is herself actually 29 says,

“Bipasha was my senior in school and at
least three years older than me. I don’t know how she
suddenly cut down so many years”.

Mallika Sherawat, although has every
excuse to make her look like a 27 year old but she is
actually not. She has apparently had a long struggling phase
of modelling, air hosting and even an alleged failed
marriage. That makes her just not less than 36 years old.
Yet she recently celebrated her 28th birthday.

I wish Bollywood learns to age
gracefully… even if they dont there is always Godrej, Loreal
and Garnier for their rescue… you know what I mean.

Leaked: The Story of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi bollywood news

Leaked: The Story of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Aditya Chopra’s well guarded secret… the
story of his forthcoming flick starring Shahrukh Khan and
newcomer Anushka Sharma is finally out.Shahrukh Khan’s
different look, that of an ordinary boring government
employee has evoked quite some curiosity from people and now
that the story is out, all curiosity will fizz out.

A source at the Yash Raj Films revealed
on the condition of anonymity that RNBDJ is a romantic tale
of an older man Shahrukh Khan his young teenage bride. The
source says,

“There is a big age difference between
them and they are not what you’d call a perfect couple.
They are merely stretching their marriage with no real
romance in between them. They are two very different
people. There’s a reality dance show called Rab Ne Bana Di
Jodi — which is the main backdrop of the movie. The show
is on the lines of popular television show, Nach Baliye.”

The source continues, “Anushka wants to take part in the
dance competition but she can’t because her husband is an
old and not hip and happening. She fears that if she
dances with him, she will lose the show and become the
laughing stock among all her friends, who are taking part
in the same. Shah Rukh over hears his wife’s problem and
decides to go in for a makeover. He then watches some
movies and changes his image completely and comes back to
the show and woos Anushka off her feet. All the way
through the dance competition, she keeps on falling in
love with this new and improved Shah Rukh, without once
realising that the man she is dancing with is her real
husband.”

However, Yash Raj Films have not
commented on this news. We gotta wait and watch to see if
this news is correct.

 

Financial Crisis Pinches Bollywood Too bollywood news

Financial Crisis Pinches Bollywood Too

The fumes of the global economic meltdown
have started effecting Bollywood big time as major
production houses start cost-cutting.Apparently, T-Series
CEO Bhushan Kumar has asked Director Pooja Bhatt to reduce
the budget of her Himesh Reshammiya starring Kajra Re. The
production house is also reconsidering its projects that are
starring expensive stars like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.

Bollywood trade analyst Komal Nahata
confirms, “The slowdown has been felt in the industry
rather slowly, but it has now caught up with it…However,
it is difficult to say whether this has happened as a
result of the global impact or due to the box-office
disasters of recent big-budget movies, like Drona, Kidnap
and Karzzz. But a sense of insecurity now pervades all
production concerns, more so in Bollywood’s corporates
houses.”

Director of a production house called
Percept Picture also added saying, “Recently, two Bollywood
corporate houses incurred losses to the tune of Rs 160 crore
and Rs 60 crore, respectively. Naturally both have now put
on hold their planned acquisitions. This was bound to
happen. But it has happened sooner than we expected.”

Kishore Lulla of Eros International
explains, “Look, with the liquidity crunch in the market,
people now have less disposable income and so they will
now spend less on luxury and entertainment - which means
the movie-going clientele will decrease and so will the
box-office collections.

“This will first affect the exhibition
and distribution sector and consequently the production
sector as it will have less money coming in from the two
main sources - film exhibition and distribution. With less
money on hand, producers will be forced to cut cost before
the system gets corrected.”

Sad!!!

Kareena a Fan of Saif’s Ex-Wife bollywood news

Kareena a Fan of Saif’s Ex-Wife

Kareena Kapoor may still have 3-4 years
more to go before she walks down the aisle and says
Kubool Hai to Saif, but she is trying her level best to
fit in to Saif’s family well in advance. She has bonded well
with the Pataudis, Saif’s kids Sarah and Ibrahim also like
her and guess who she is ready to break the ice with -
Saif’s ex-wife Amrita Singh.

In an interview she revealed, “I
respect the fact that Saif was married before and has two
lovely children. I have been a fan of Amrita Singh. I
haven’t met her ever but I know her through her films. For
me, she’ll always have a place of importance in his life
because she is Saif Ali Khan’s first wife and the mother
of his children. And, I’ve told Saif this. I would want
her to have that kind of respect always. This is what my
parents have taught me. At the end of the day, it was just
a marriage that didn’t work out. I have always encouraged
Saif to be friends with her because I think that would be
great. I guess they will just need time but that’s
something that they would need to deal with. I will always
respect her. As far as any other relationship of Saif is
concerned, I don’t think they really mattered.”

Point taken Bebo!

Can Bollywood’s Bikini Babes Make a Film bollywood news

Can Bollywood’s Bikini Babes Make a Film
Hit?

Its been a popular trend inspired from Hollywood flicks
like Bond series to have a super sexy actress emerging out
of the sea in a bikini. Most filmmakers promote this as the
USP of the film.

Priyanka Chopra walking in a golden swimsuit in Dostana’s
first promos, Minissha Lamba sizzling down in her pearly
white bikini swimming carelessly in the Ocean or Kareena
Kapoor flaunting her zero size figure in a electric green
bikini in Tashan… Bollywood sure knows how to flaunt their
leading ladies to grab eye-balls.

But how far does this tactic help in pulling crowds to
the cinema hall? Can a bikini clad Kareena Kapoor, Mallika
Sherawat or Bipasha Basu evoke so much interest and
curiosity.

One movie buff, Piyush Arora says, “Bikini shots are
fairly common these days… besides all of them look just
the same, so I wouldn’t go for the movie because it offers
a Bikini scene. It hardly matters.”

While another cine-goer Bharthi says, “Whatever people
might say but skin show does attract people… especially
men. It offers them sheer spectacle that film makers make
out of women’s bodies… and if it draws crowds to the
theatres, they find nothing wrong with it. Its worth a try
for them.”

What do you think? Do Bikini scenes evoke your
curiosity? Would you be interested to watch a film if the
promos show the leading lady in a Bikini?

John Hotter Than Ever; Bipasha Spell-bound

John Abraham did a Daniel Craig, when he
emerged out of the sea flaunting his chiseled torso and
walking around with short shorts on the sun-kissed beaches
of Miami.That must be a real head-turner for the young
misses there. But who is more impressed than anyone else is
John’s girlfriend Bipasha Basu.

John confesses,  “She was just
mesmerized by my machismo and just praised me for it.”

Both Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham
worked hard on their bodies to fit in to their roles in
Dostana.

This movie seems worth a dekho!

Ash A Mere Sidekick in Pink Pather bollywood news

Ash A Mere Sidekick in Pink Pather

While everyone was brouhaha about
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan doing her first mainstream Hollywood
flick trying to bank upon her international fame. The poor
lady, after all the hype and hoopla, now is no more than a
mere sidekick to Steve Martin.Apparently, the Bachchan babe
was a bit too excited about this big Hollywood project she
got in her kitty. But they didnt even feature her anywhere
in the film’s promos. The producers reportedly decided upon
not featuring Aishwarya Rai in the promos because they didnt
know how to present her as a star in Hollywood because her
star-status and popularity is only restricted to South Asia.

A source was quoted saying, “Yes, many
know Aishwarya Rai as one of the most beautiful faces in
the world. But that was not quite enough for them to flock
to watch her movie.”

Bechari Ash… why go to foreign shores for
sidekick roles when you can carry an entire film on your
shoulders here in India.

Shahid and Rani’s Flick Shelved

Shahid and Rani’s Flick Shelved

The recent financial crisis and the long
list of Yash Raj failures has forced director Adi Chopra to
shelve his forthcoming flick Haddippa starring Shahid Kapoor
and Rani Mukherjee in pivotal roles.

A source reveals, “Adi is in desperate
times as most of Yash Raj movies have flopped miserably at
the Box Office. They have had only one hit in the last two
years, Shah Rukh Khan starrer Chak De India. So Adi
doesn’t want any more flops.”

“He has his own directed film, Rab Ne
Bana Di Jodi, and is 90% certain that this will become a
hit, mainly because it has the star-power of Shah Rukh
Khan in the cast. But it’s one of the films after that
which has got him worried, Haddipa,” continued the source.

“Adi found the direction amateurish by
Yash Raj standards. He had a long chat with Anurag Singh
(Director) who was shooting the film in Punjab. Adi made
it very clear that until things changed, he wouldn’t have
another schedule for the film.”

Sad time for Yash Raj!
