Salman Khan Upset over Sonakshi's twin brothers

Salman Khan Upset over Sonakshi's twin brothersOn Sunday evening, Sonakshi Sinha was seen with one of her twin bothers at the Dabangg party post-midnight. While earlier in the evening her mother Punam Sinha was escorted by her other twin brother. Salman Khan was confused between the identical twins’ double entry in the party and therefore decided to call the twins ‘Luv-Kush’.Says an onlooker, “Salman earlier saw one of the twins walk in with Mrs Sinha (for the record it was Luv Sinha who escorted his mom). Then much later, after midnight, Sonakshi walked in with another twin (Kush Sinha). So Salman played it safe and referred to them separately as ‘Luv-Kush’.

Says a source close to Dabangg, “Whenever Salman sees either of Sonakshi’s brothers he calls him ‘Luv-Kush’ just to be on the safe side. Though both of them are not similar in many ways, Salman always gets confused. So no matter which twin he sees, he calls him by both names.”

From Sunday evening, Salman Khan and his Dabangg gang partied until 7 am on Monday morning. At the Vie lounge in Juhu, Salman and the Dabangg team couldn’t stop dancing to the Munni track with each and every guest. Among the non-Dabangg gang who dropped in there was Aamir Khan, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and David Dhawan.

At around 2 am when the party was over at Vie, Salman invited all to his Bandra house so that they can continue with the party. Says Sonu Sood, “It was basically Salman’s non-film friends and just some of us from the Dabangg team… Sonakshi, me and a few others who accompanied Salman home. We stayed there until around 4 am. After that Salman took us to a builder-friend’s house. We finally wrapped up at 7 am.”In fact, the party started on Sunday afternoon when Ramesh Taurani had thrown a brunch party for his brother-in-laws wedding.

Says Sonu, “I’m not much of a party-goer. And I don’t drink at all. But I must say the Dabangg party and specially the after-party at Salman’s place made me feel very special. Salman has taken me under his wings. He says I should watch my steps and I’ll be doing well for myself in a year. That evening he also presented me a Being Human watch.”

During the party some more plans were made for Dabangg 2. Says Sood, “I suggested my twin brother’s character should be called Safedi Singh with the the line, ‘Safedi ki chamatkar door-door tak phaili hai’. Salman loved it. Our director Abhinav Kashyap has already started writing the sequel.”

Kareena Kapoor and Shakira dance togather

Kareena Kapoor is the only female lead in Rohit Shetty's Golmaal-3 (if you don't count Ratna Pathak, that is), and buzz is that Bebo had laid down this condition before coming on board the male-dominated comic flick.

Kareena Kapoor and Shakira dance togather

The flip side to this is that she will be the only one providing the oomph factor to the otherwise arid landscape. And though her character is of a girl who has verbal diarrohea (like a Sholay ki Basanti), the title track of the film has her trademark sizzle.

Kareena does a shimmy and shake in harem pants, ganji, and with a lot of bangles that would have the Waka-Waka Colombian sex bomb Shakira reconsider her moves. The actress told BT, " Rohit Shetty has a way of making his title tracks truly interesting.

For Golmaal Returns, I turned Cat Woman a la Halle Berry style. The Meoow number that I did went on to become a chartbuster. When it came to G-3, Rohit once again wanted me to be sensuous. He said, 'Bebo, drop all your defences and let's do a sexy track.'"

The actress was more than willing. "My audience expects me to be sexy and sizzling at least in the naach-gaana routine. So I've gone ahead and done hip-shaking, that is a cross between Shakira's Waka-Waka and Hips Don't Lie. The choreographer Ganesh Acharya added our Bollywood moves to the track but there's just this extra hip swing that I think is very hot," she said.

Katrina Kaif injured on the sets of Yash Raj Film

Katrina Kaif injury on the sets of Yash Raj FilmBollywood beauty Katrina Kaif suffered an injury on the sets of Yash Raj Film's untitled project with Imran Khan. The film is being shot at Pataudi Palace in Haryana. The actress was hurt during filming and ended up with a bloody nose, due to an error of judgment on her co-star's part.

Strangely, she was hurt in the same spot where she'd been previously injured during the shoot of Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani when Ranbir accidentally landed a blow on her face. A source from the sets reveals what happened. "They were shooting a funny scene in which Imran is holding a gun in his hand and Katrina is by his side. He had to move around and pull Kat toward him with the other hand. But while shooting, he accidentally smashed the barrel of his gun on Katrina's nose. It happened in a split second and her nose started bleeding.

"Everyone panicked because there was blood oozing from her nose. The shooting stopped and she was escorted to the vanity van. A doctor was called on the set and she was administered first aid. After a while the bleeding stopped, but she was still in pain," said a source.

"Yes, I got hit in the same place as I did during Ajab. I am pretty bruised but the staff feels it's good luck for the film. But it was a funny scene so I think it was worth it."

Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor promoting their flick in Hyderabad

Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor publicity own flick in HyderabadLame question many of Bollywood and Tollywood film Industry and people were asking after seeing the photos of Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor shot at Villa Marie College, Rajbhavan Road Hyderabad.

Ranbir and Priyanka were in Hyderabad on Wednesday to promote their upcoming film ‘Anjaana Anjaani’. It was all good and fine as long as they were in PVR cinemas, where things were seemingly professional and nice.

However, once they went to Villa Marie College to promote their film, things got out of hand. Villa Marie college girls are ‘notorious’ for the things they make Hyderabad boys go through. This time they gave tough time to poor Mumbaikar Ranbir Kapoor.

The Villa Marie college girls mobbed the chocolate boy Ranbir, and guess who was caught in between – Piggy Chops ( Priyanka Chopra!) Generally it is Priyanka Chopra who has to face such mobbing. Some said she felt a tinge of jealousy because Ranbir was getting all the attention.

However, Ranbir had a very ‘crushing’ experience with students. Ultimately both found film promotion in Hyderabad a touch difficult and many wondered what they were doing there in the first place!

Katrina Kaif, Salman, and Akshay in Tees Maar Khan

After two blockbusters Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om, Farah Khan is ready with her next directorial venture Tees Maar Khan starring Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Akshaye Khanna in lead roles. One of the highlights of the film is a special dance number filmed on Akshay, Katrina and Salman Khan (in a special appearance). The song was recently shot at Mumbai's Film City and by the looks of it has all the makings of a chartbuster.

Katrina Kaif, Salman, and Akshay in movie of Tees Maar Khan

Speaking about this song, Farah says, "This is a special dance number called 'Wallah Re Wallah'. It's a full-on qawalli set in a typical Muslim mohalla though I have also incorporated certain Moroccan elements. In the initial script, this song was to be set in a club but when Salman agreed to do the song, I thought of changing the setting. Salman, Akshay and Katrina are all seen in typical Muslim attire and we had a blast shooting for the song. I had done a qawalli in Main Hoon Na too but that was more of a Disco-qawalli, this one however is a full- on proper qawalli. The song is composed by Vishal-Shekhar and sung by Shreya Ghoshal, Raja Hassan and newcomer Kamaal Khan (Sa Re Ga Ma contestant)." Farah also says that initially there were no plans of having Salman in the song but it was the media which kept putting up stories of Salman making a guest appearance in Tees Maar Khan so much so that Farah actually gave it a serious thought.

She revealed, "Yes...when Salman came on the sets of 'Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega', I asked him if he would do a special dance number in my film and he instantly agreed. He shot with us two full days and it was a complete blast on the sets. Salman and Akshay went completely mad dancing during the shoot and at times even started choreographing their own steps. They were like two small boys let loose from a boarding school. During one shot they removed their scarves and started using it as a towel to do Salman's famous towel dance steps from Mujhse Shaadi Karoge. It was a total riot on the sets. Katrina has also never looked so pretty before. I've tried to dress her in a get up similar to that of Meena Kumari in Pakeezah with a sharara et al. She is looking really gorgeous."

When we quizzed Farah about Salman cooking food for the unit, Farah says, "No...Salman didn't cook food but he did get some yummy food for all of us. Even I got some Parsi delicacies for the entire unit during one day of the shoot. Like I said earlier, all of us had a complete blast."Going by what Farah says, this one indeed seems like one song, worth looking forward to.

Priyanka Chopra enlivens Shurpanakha’s look

Did we ever think how beautiful was Raavan’s sister Shurpanakha? Well the makers of the 3-D animation film Ramayan - The Epic were sure that she has to look beautiful in the film. So, while modeling Shurpanakha’s look they referred to one of the most stunning females of Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra.

Priyanka Chopra enlivens Shurpanakha’s look

According to the director Chetan Desai they were in dilemma for Shurpanakha’s look as they couldn’t find any Indian beauty that would match her face. Raavan’s sister in Hindu mythology is known to be the most beautiful woman. “We had to find someone as stunning as Shurpanakha… It was then that I remembered Priyanka in Aitraaz and how she looked then,” says Chetan. So Priyanka’s basic look from Aitraaz made the animated Shurpanakha beautiful.

Ramayan - The Epic, a Ketan Mehta dream project on the famous epic the Ramayan, is ready to release on October 15. For the film Juhi Chawla has given voice to Sita, Manoj Bajpai has done it for Ram and Raavan’s villainous voice is of Ashutosh Rana.

Kangna Ranaut: Rock Star

Kangna Ranaut: Rock StarKangna Ranaut might have been a green-horn in B-Town — wide-eyed and bushy-tailed about the whole fashion business when she started off. But along the way she learned how to dress and has today developed her own sense of style. Blessed as she is with a fashionably lean body, she could experiment with various ethnic and western designs. And today, she does manage to grab eyeballs when she walks on to the screen or walks into an event.

Initially, AAP Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Sohail Maklai's Knock Out that is releasing worldwide on October 15, didn't offer this sassy actress a chance to experiment with her wardrobe. "The film itself is a thriller that takes place within a time span of two hours of screen time. And since I play a television journalist, who is doing some serious spot reporting, I had to be wearing one costume throughout the film.

So I didn't get a chance to get myself an extensive wardrobe" explains Kangna, who'll be seen wearing a smart-cut western outfit since her screen character resembles that of a high-profile reporter. Though Kangna had to have six copies of the same outfit to last her during the entire duration of the shoot, later on, she had a surprise in store for her. Kangna did get a chance to dress interestingly when the producers of Knock Out suggested adding a title track.

"The music video shot is completely disconnected from the film. It is not in tandem with my screen character. But I loved the challenge of dressing up like a rock star because that's exactly how the song is designed. Even Sanju sir (Sanjay Dutt) has a very interesting wardrobe for the song. We're both carrying guitars and grooving to a snazzy number directed by Ahmad Khan," she says.

While Sanju is wearing a chic leather jacket over a pair of fashionable denims and heavy-duty jewellery like the rappers do, Kangna will be seen sporting figure-hugging leather pants, a smart short leather jacket thrown over a tube top with chains around her slender neck.

Kangna says she loves the fact that Hindi cinema gives an actor a chance to follow his/her heart and get into costumes that may seem bizarre off screen. But these costumes sit well on screen adding to the larger-than-life images that filmstars are often associated with. "When it comes to dressing up for songs or music videos we actors have a blast. It is truly dream merchant stuff. And if you let yourself go, you can thoroughly enjoy these situations," says the actress who hopes that one will enjoy the nail-biting, hardcore, real stuff that Knock Out is made of.

Kajol Perform with her mother

Kajol Perform with her motherFor the first time ever Kajol and her mother Tanuja are going to act together. Tanuja plays Kajol's reel life mom in the film Toonpur Ka Superhero directed by Kireet Khurana.

Though Tanuja is doing a cameo in the film, it will be interesting to see the mother-daughter duo on screen. Talking about how he managed to get Ajay Devgn, Kajol and Tanuja in the film, Kireet says, "It's been a casting coup for us with Ajay-Kajol and Tanuja mirroring their respective real life relationship. It's just the way we had planned and visualised it at the script level. After Ajay's instantaneous 'yes' after reading the script, we wanted Kajol to act alongside him. I was told that Kajol is discerning about choosing the scripts which was perfectly understandable for an actor of her calibre.

So, the apprehension whether she would agree to do the role lingered when we narrated the script to her. Pleasantly surprising us, Kajol's response was also spontaneous. Emboldened further, we decided to complete the 'family' in reel life as well and approached Tanuja for the cameo role of Kajol's mom. Tanuja was all too happy to be on board, too.

I think it's the unique live action and animation combination genre, which helped in securing the dream cast we wanted." About the camaraderie between the mother and daughter on sets, he adds, "Tanuja and Kajol share a great mom-daughter rapport. I remember they would always be chatty on the sets and happy to be together like long-lost friends."

The co-producer of the film Shirish opted to stay out of any controversy by saying that they are still hunting for the female lead opposite Akshay and have not finalized anyone yet.

Hrithik-Ash's Guzaarish on Nov 19 (Video)

Bollywood hunk Hrithik Roshan says that his upcoming movie Guzaarish, which releases on Nov 19, is special to him because it changed the way he sees the world. The actor unveiled the first look of the film, which stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan opposite him. The 36-year-old actor plays a popular magician in the movie who becomes paraplegic after meeting with a near fatal accident.

Hrithik-Ash's Guzaarish on Nov 19 (Video)

Hrithik said his role in Guzaarish was his most difficult as well as the easiest. "Easiest because I managed to essay it under the guidance of Bhansali," said the actor. Guzaarish is Aishwarya's third film with Bhansali. While each film with the director is an amazing experience, the latest project was exceptional, said the actress.



"Guzaarish is a beautiful piece of cinema," she said. When asked about she and Hrithik being referred to as the magical pair of silver screen having delivered hits like Dhoom 2 and Jodha Akbar, Aishwarya said she works with directors and not co-stars.

"We actors play characters that the director envisages. I am fortunate to have worked with wonderful co-stars throughout my career," she said.

Bhansali refused to divulge details of the film saying it was too early to do so. "The film is about the beauty, hope and the joy of living," he said.

Bhansali has debuted as a music composer for the film. "I did the music because I understand the characters well. This was just an experiment. There are eight songs in the film and 12 in the music album," said the director.

Priyanka Chopra proposed to Brazilian man

Priyanka Chopra had a close encounter with some overt amorous attention in Rio de Janeiro where she has just packed up shooting for a reality show. A local hot-blooded well-to-do businessman, apparently of substantial good looks, insisted on trailing her everywhere with his marriage proposals.

Priyanka Chopra proposed to Brazilian man

Even while boarding her flight for the 25-hour journey back to Mumbai Wednesday morning, Priyanka anxiously looked back to see if the Brazilian suitor was still following her to India. "Brazilian men turned out to be a little too upfront for me. They don't waste time in making their moves. This one didn't ask me out. He asked me to marry him right away. I don't think I am interested in marrying any foreigners. Only an Indian guy for me, thanks," Priyanka said.

One reason why she got so much male attention from the locals was her Brazilian tan. "I was bronzed, tanned and dressed rather Brazilian. Maybe they mistook me for a local girl," says the actress.

Exhausted Priyanka was in no mood to get jetlagged on her flight back to Mumbai. "The minute I land, I start promoting my new film 'Anjaana Anjaani'. After a fortnight, I head to Berlin for shooting Farhan Akhtar's 'Don 2'. I don't even have time to spend with my family. I missed them in Rio. I am going to sleep the minute the plane takes off," Priyanka said.

Looking back at the experience of hosting "Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi" Priyanka said: "I was determined I'd be stern, authoritative and in-charge. Nobody should think I should be soft because I am a woman. At the risk of offending the contestants, I was at my bullying best."

Priyanka regrets not being able to find enough time to spend with the contestants. "There was just time to shoot the stunts. I had just one day off and I decided to de-stress on the beach. I didn't get any time to shop and bought the famous Brazilian Hawaiian slippers only at the airport."

She got along well with all the contestants but confesses to having developed a soft corner for Manjot Singh. "I nicknamed him Komal Khiladi. And the most heart stopping moment of all the stunts was when Navjot fainted in the freezing water."

Vidya Balan used her trump card

Vidya Balan used her trump cardVidya Balan has been touted as a special talent ever since she joined the film industry. Of late she’s been busy with her “special” appearances in films, like in Rohan’s Sippy’s Dum Maro Dum and the dance number in Santosh Sivan’s Malyalam film Urumi she recently shot for. “It’s a special appearance song and not an item number as people are calling it,” Vidya sets the record straight at the onset. For an actor of her calibre, she probably doesn’t want to be associated with item numbers. Like the actor in her also probably feels disappointed by the snub at the recently announced National Awards, where cast members managed to bag trophies.

“I’d be lying if I say I didn’t feel the pinch,” Vidya admits. “Actually, more than me, people around me were surprised. I wasn’t even aware that the National Awards were being announced that day and was on the way to a shoot when I started getting messages saying, ‘You should’ve won it,’ ‘You deserved it’ and so on. So it did hurt, but not for long. I am happy that the film won awards because it’s my film after all. And I wish Balki had got awards too because he is one director who has the guts to push the envelope and deliver as well,” she says.

Vidya can pin her hopes on her next No One Killed Jessica that she’s finished shooting for and is said to have delivered an excellent performance. However, as there are talks of the Munnabhai sequel Vidya’s name in the titles isn’t a given. Does she find it hard to swallow the fact that the hero seems to be an automatic choice while the heroine can vary? “Well, a Charlie Chaplin film is about him and the other characters keep coming and going,” she draws a parallel. “The first film had Gracy Singh in it, and then I came in. I don’t know if I am going to be in the next film. If I am, great. Coz I’d love to be a part of it,” she enthuses.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra productions was once Vidya’s home ground. “Vinod and I haven’t met each other in a while because we’ve both been travelling a lot,” she explains. “We still have a strong bond but when we talk, we don’t get into the work space,” Vidya adds.

Vidya’s always maintained that she’s comfortable in her skin, but does she feel like going in for an image overhaul when she sees actresses like Deepika, Kareena, Priyanka all tall and slender, glamorous and sexy? “Not at all,” Vidya dismisses the notion. “Today more than ever I am accepting of myself the way I am, I am enjoying being myself. I’m in a happy place and I wouldn’t want any kind of trade back,” she says. “Besides people seem to like me the way I am because when I tried to be someone I was not, they rejected the idea,” she chuckles.

Talking of other actresses, Vidya seems to have becomes friends with No One Killed Jessica co-star Rani Mukherjee. Being pitted against another seasoned actress, wasn’t there any competition on the sets? “There’s no question of competition,” Vidya clarifies. “Rani is my favourite actress amongst my immediate seniors. We were meant to work a couple of times earlier but that didn’t happen, so I was excited about this film. I wouldn’t claim that we are best friends but there is a genuine fondness between us,” she says.

Would she call any industry people her friends? “I don’t get the definition of friendship here,” she says. “For me friendship is a deep bond, and most of my friends are from childhood or college,” Vidya adds realistically.

And what does Vidya think of love? Being an actress Vidya must meet many interesting men, so why is she still single? “Only God can answer that question,” she looks upwards. “I’ve stopped asking myself that. I do meet a lot of interesting men and I have been on a couple of dates but nothing concrete has materialised. Love hasn’t happened. Even if it’s just dating, I can’t date two or three people at the same time and keep my options open, I am a one-man woman in that sense. So I guess I have to wait and believe that God has reserved someone really special for me,” she concludes. That would be divine justice indeed, a special someone for the special one!

But it’s official now. Kareena will star opposite Salman in the remake of the Malayalam box-office hit film ‘Bodyguard’.

Salman’s sister Alvira and her husband Atul Agnihotri, who bought the Bollywood rights of the Malayalam film, have signed Kareena for the film as they always felt that she would be apt to play the female lead, which was played by South-Indian actress Nayantara in the original version.

According to earlier reports, there had been rumors that Deepika, Asin and Katrina were approached for the role played by Nayantara in the original version, but the producer always felt that Kareena was the best suited heroine for Salman in the film.

Confirming the news about Kareena, Atul stated, "When we saw the original version done by Nayantara, we were convinced that only Bebo could do the Hindi version."

By the way, after ‘Kyon Ki’, and ‘Main Aurr Mrs Khanna’ this would be the third time that Kareena would be sharing screen space with Salman.

Incidentally, it’s believed that the Mollywood director Siddiqui always felt that Kareena would do justice to the character of an MBA student.

Buzz has it that Kareena was not quite sure in the beginning to sign the film, since she had not seen the original version. But interestingly, after seeing the film the gorgeous actress readily agreed to be a part of it.

“We were waiting to show Kareena the film. We had already spoken to her about it and talks were on. But she hadn't seen the original and couldn't commit to the project without watching it. Kareena was in Mumbai recently for a brief period and that's when we showed her the film. She liked the film and immediately agreed to be a part of it,” added Atul.

Presently, this movie is being remade in Tamil as ‘Kaavalan’ with Vijay and Asin in the lead roles. Director Siddhiqui, who directed the original version of the film, has now been told to work on the Hindi version so that it synchronizes well with Salman’s image.

Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor's World Tour

The world stage is set for the Kapoors as the young Kapoor scion will start his first world tour across 16 nations. Ranbir Kapoor’s world concert tour starts in June 2011 and dad Rishi Kapoor will not only accompany him but also co-produce the event. And guess with whom the young star will scorch the stage - Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra.

Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor world tour togather

Speculations were rife about Ranbir and his teen deviyaan - Katrina, Priyanka and his ex Deepika Padukone. Well, Katrina is already on for the world tour and so is desi gal Priyanka. However, Deepika is not yet signed up and Ranbir’s father says she is likely to be on board.

If you want to see the two super Kapoors sharing the same stage and dancing, your wish might get fulfilled as the producers are planning a retro section where Ranbir will shake a leg with his father Rishi. Confirming this bit of information, Rishi tells a tabloid, “We’re exploring the possibility of Ranbir and I coming together. But right now I can't tell you more on this.”

It isn’t easy to go live in front of millions of audience. Ranbir has waited for three years to finally face the audience. He has never performed in any award shows despite several lucrative offers. He will feature in a series of concerts to be held in different parts of Europe, America, Canada, UAE and South Africa.

Aishwarya and Priyanka facing each other

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra are inevitably going to be pitted against one another on the 1st of October, as both the flicks, ‘Endhiran’, and ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, are now slated to release on the same day!

Aishwarya and Priyanka facing each other

Even though ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, was supposed to be releasing on the 24th as per the earlier schedule, the release date has been pushed back, thus, this has made the flick clash with the much awaited most expensive flick ever made on Indian soil ‘,Endhiran’.

As known, Aishwarya and Rajnikant are two of the most popular faces to have ever embraced the Indian silver screen, thus, it is being assumed that their flick will have tremendous success at the box office. With tabloids reporting ticket sales being a complete sell out, this sci- fi sure seems to be a big winner.

On the other hand, ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, being a Ranbir Priyanka starrer, and having some great foreign locales, with some great fun filled moments, a rom-com of sorts, is also touted to be one major attraction at the box office!

The buzz is however that will Priyanka give tough competition to the ever popular Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, will the two be in a only I’m the winner situation, or will it be a nail biting finish for both of them, where everyday will be a major competition day, with all eyes tabulating over who is the bigger crowd puller? Well, this is getting tougher to decide! Just start counting downwards, till the ‘D’ day!

Shahrukh Khan in Ra.One

Shahrukh Khan in Ra.OneSuperstar Shahrukh Khan seems hell-bent to make his home production Ra.One a sci-fi thriller extraordinaire, at a par with the ones that Hollywood makes.

After roping in the best hands and minds at stunts and special effects, the King Khan is learnt to have signed the world renowned German composer Hans Zimmer to compose the background score of the film.

Zimmer has composed music for films like Gladiator, Pirates of The Caribbean series, The Da Vinci Code, The Dark Knight and Inception. Considering Zimmer’s credentials, his inclusion in Ra.One, if true, is indeed a big catch for SRK.

We hear that it was director Anubhav Sinha who suggested signing up Zimmer for the film. Though the buzz is that Zimmer has been paid a whopping amount for coming aboard, there’s no official confirmation yet of this.

SRK has already made Akon sing a song for Ra.One. Now, with Zimmer in crew he has certainly turned a new page.

Priyanka Chopra's fervor for 'Anjaana Anjaani'

Priyanka Chopra's fervor for 'Anjaana Anjaani'Quite excited about gathering knowledge about the nitty-gritty when it came to framing a shot and also learning other technical aspects of cinema, Priyanka Chopra was involved with the making of Sajid Nadiadwala's Anjaana Anjaani right from scripting to the final day of shoot.

"This is the reason why she went on to do a lot more than just prepare for the role of Kiara who meets a complete stranger Akash (played by Ranbir Kapoor)", says Siddharth Anand, the director of Anjaana Anjaani, "She worked in tandem to flesh out the character, work around on all the intricacies and also bring her wide range of experience to sets the when it came to actual shooting."

Priyanka's passion about the making of the film pleasantly surprised the makers here as she was curious about everything from lighting to set design to locations to the mood of the scene to costumes and even the conduct of people who were walking in the background. Though any experienced actor is expected to be involved in her characterisation, Priyanka was inclined towards playing a much bigger role.

"She ensured though that her involvement didn't come across as interference. There is a thin line between that and many have burnt their hands when their over enthusiastic approach and inquisitive nature have turned out to be counter productive for an actor-director relationship. Priyanka made her point, in fact even had healthy discussions at places and was basically in learning rather than dictating mode. Anjaana Anjaani was basically a platform for her to learn the ropes on the job and Priyanka was glad that no one minded that", smiles Siddharth.

Though elements of her inclination towards being in the know-how of most minute details of direction were visible in her earlier attempts as well, it is pretty apparent that they were pretty much on fore during the shooting of Anjaana Anjaani. Guess Priyanka is fast making progress to move into a bigger role and picking up bigger responsibilities pretty soon!

Aamir Khan send lots of gifts for 'Dabangg'

Aamir Khan is one actor who has penchant for movies with a difference. After delivering a blockbuster like 3 Idiots in 2009, Aamir Khan decided to produce Peepli Live. A small budget film with no big stars, yet Peepli Live managed to recover its cost even before its release. The actor spoke to CNN-IBN on why he chose to take up Peepli Live.

Aamir Khan send to lots of gifts for 'Dabangg'

The actor said, “Yes most people were expecting me to sign a big film after 3 Idiots instead I am releasing Peepli Live, which is bizarre. But all my decisions have been bizarre. They don’t make sense to anyone. Often they don’t make sense to me. ”Directed by debutant Anusha Rizvi, Peepli Live is a political and social satire, which was screened at the Berlin Film Festival. It was also declared the best feature film at the Durban International Film Festival. Not only that, it's first Indian production to compete at the Sundance Film Festival.

Commenting on the amazing success of Peepli Live, Aamir said, “The world is going through a financial crisis. A lot of small and marginal businesses have shut down because the people could not repay their loans. So they could identify with Natha and Budhya, the farmers in the film.”On a lighter note, the actor said after watching the film, a lot of women said mothers-in law are the same all over, referring to Amma in the film. As for Salman Khan's Dabangg beating 3 idiots' record at the box office, Aamir is all praise for the other Khan.

He said, “ First of all I would like to congratulate Salman and the entire team of the film for the thundering success that Dabangg has got. It is an extremely enjoyable film. I really loved it. I thought Salman is excellent in the film. He has really worked hard on the film. He has brought out the character really well. He has played it really consistently right through. He is never out of character.”Aamir also was all praise for Sonakshi Sinha, the female lead of Dabangg. “She is a great find,” he said. Maybe those who often commented on Khan wars, would now have to change their statement after listening to the words of praise Aamir showers on Salman.

Bipasha Basu: Glamorous Pose

Bipasha Basu: Glamorous PoseRecently, Bipasha Basu has been taking on films that show her in de-glamorizedroles, and bring to light important social messages. For example, her last film, Lamhaa, dealt with the conflict in Kashmir.

Bipasha continues her own trend with her newest film, Aakrosh. She seems to be very excited about the upcoming film, and has been tweeting about the story of the film; "Aakrosh is a thriller which shows how the evil practice of honour killings still exist. It is a hard hitting issue based film!"

Bipasha takes on the role of an abused housewife. The actress describes her character to the media as being "trapped in an unhappy, abusive marriage and the sadness is reflected in her persona." She says of her role, "It was a dismal role to play but an eye-opener too."

Since Bipasha’s debut in 2001 with her film Ajnabee, she has been associated with a glamorous image. Now that the sexy actress is stepping away from this image and taking up meaningful roles, perhaps she will be appreciated more for her acting skills rather than her body and beauty. Ajay Devgan and Akshay Khanna star alongside Bipasha Basu in Aakrosh. It is directed by Priyadarshan and releases on the 8th of October.

Priyanka Chopra live singing on TV

Priyanka Chopra is well known for her beauty and more recently for taking Bollywood by storm with her versatility as an actress. What many don't know is the fact that this lissome lass is also a veritable powerhouse when it comes to singing a tune.

Priyanka Chopra live singing on TV

While on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa to promote her upcoming Anjaana Anjaani with co-star Ranbir Kapoor and director Siddharth Anand, music directors Vishal–Shekar requested the beauty to sing the song Tinka Tinka.

A little known fact is that way back in 2005, during the making of Karam, our Piggy Chops had sung the playback for the track Tinka Tinka. But since the young lass was just finding her feet as an actress in the industry, she did not want to be put into the niche of a playback singer and hence asked Alisha Chinoy to do the playback for the track. Looks like Bollywood has finally found themselves a heroine for all seasons!

Having synced along with Sugandha's performance, Priyanka proceeded to take to the stage with her own rendition of the song. With her rich powerful voice and soulful melody, she did not seem in the least bit nervous or apprehensive as she went on stage and performed on live television for the first time. And it certainly is a performance to remember! Watch out all established singers who playback for Priyanka...with a magical voice like hers, she really doesn't need anyone to sing for her!

Apparently, Sonam was asked to walk the ramp for Manish Malhotra (she had acted in his nephew's directorial debut I Hate Luv Storys) during the Lakme Fashion Week but had to cancel because of her illness.

The source retorts, "Sonam was not to walk the ramp but simply attend LFW. In fact, she had to cancel a few work commitments including an endorsement event because of her ailment. She couldn't go to Delhi or shoot for Thank You. She's resting at home and can't attend anything."Sonam says, "I was never going to walk the ramp for Manish.

Priyanka Chopra's 'Anjaana Anjaani'The release of Ranbir Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra starrer Anjaana Anjaani has been postponed from September 24 to October 1 in view of the verdict in the Ayodhya case, due the same day.

I am sure people's good wishes are with us," he added. Giving her nod to the decision, Priyanka said: "This was our wish that the date should be postponed. I think it is the matter of principle. Whatever happens, we should go through this day in a very peaceful way. It is a very important day for India and we should all be together to give the day its deserving importance.

Priyanka, Kareena, And Bipasha: Actress Best As Male Actor

Priyanka, Kareena, And BipashaThough some femme fatale of the town are replete with feminine charm and sex appeal, still their tomboyish boldness and cheekiness make them match toe to toe with their male counterparts. Let’s have a sneak peek:

1. Kareena Kapoor: She is one of the highest paid Bollywood actresses and has recently been a part of the biggest movie maker ‘3 Idiots’. With her candid tongue flourishing hard and her ability to shed inhibitions unabashed, she is as brave (and a lot bolder) than the guys.

2. Priyanka Chopra: She had once said, ‘Why should boys have all the fun?’ and we are tempted to agree.
