What's happening in Bollywood Town!

Find Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, all together. Also, find out what Freida and Deepika have in common.


Amitabh not as rich as SRK: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he couldn't bid for an Indian Premier League (IPL) team because
he doesn't have "as much money as (Kolkata Knight Riders owner) Shah Rukh Khan". "I don't have as much money as Shah Rukh. He has money and so he owns
a team," Amitabh said on Zee News' celebrity chat show Kahiye Janab to be aired on Saturday.
Amitabh sent a congratulatory SMS to skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his Padma Shri and didn't get a response. But he says he holds no grudge against the cricket star. "He must have been busy, there's no need to make an issue out of this." The sexagenarian otherwise makes for an avid viewer of the IPL and says he watches "almost all the matches".


Female Boxers Wanted: A thrilling action sequence is being canned in Bangkok by action director Vijayan and his team for Boney Kapoor’s Wanted. The sequence involves hundreds of spectators watching a brutal fight between female Thai boxers. This scene also has southern star Prakash Raj and is being shot at an indoor stadium. The Salman starrer film will release in early July.


Blender’s Pride: Shah Rukh Khan graces the cover of Blender Magazine’s latest issue. The styling is very Karan Johar.


Shruti Haasan cooks up a storm: This spunky lady loves to don a chef’s hat! Apparently whenever Shruti feels like unwinding, she heads straight to the kitchen and whips up a meal for her friends! On asking her about her expertise in this arena, she says, “I just call my friends over at home and we enjoy digging into the food” And how well does she fare in the kitchen – she says cheekily, “Even if occasionally the food isn’t that great, my friends are too sweet to say anything!”


Same-Same: Freida Pinto sports the same Gauri-Nainika creation for a photoshoot that Deepika Padukone wore to the Filmfare Awards in 2008. We prefer the white version to Deepika’s hideous midnight blue one.


Drummer Boy: Sanjay Dutt turns drummer for his new movie, All The Best, which he is shooting in Goa. He looks like a rockstar!

Busy boy Akshay Kumar

He returned from Singapore earlier this week but instead of enjoying the summer vacations with his family, Akshay has started work on Vipul Shah’s Action Replay in Karjat.

Says a source close to Akshay, “One would expect Akshay to take a break on his return from Singapore where he was shooting De Dhana Dhan but the dedicated, workaholic actor has started shooting for Vipul Shah’s Action Replay already, even as Aishwarya Rai is at the Cannes Film Festival. He is staying at Karjat because traveling to and fro all the time is inconvenient. The shooting will continue till mid-June. Ash will join them when she returns from Cannes. In June, he will be attending the IIFAs with his family as well. He will also finish his small commitments such as promo songs of De Dhana Dhan during that month.”

There was confusion regarding his arrest for the alleged ‘obscene’ act at the Lakme Fashion Week where his wife Twinkle unbuttoned his jeans at the Levi’s show. Some reports said that he was arrested, while some said he was not arrested even though he went to the police station. Our source clarifies, “Like any law abiding citizen, Akshay went to the police station and completed some formalities because that is what one has to do when a complaint is filed against them. Akshay didn’t do anything wrong so he didn’t pay a fine and was not arrested.”

Blue, Kambakkht Ishq and De Dhana Dhan are Akshay Kumar’s confirmed releases this year.

Hrithik- Ash to get steamy together

Their passionate kiss in Dhoom 2 created quite a stir in the Bachchan family but that hasn’t deterred the Bachchan bahu. She is ready to act alongside heartthrob Hrithik as his passionate lover.

The duo will get intimate in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish; the movie is a tribute to singing legend, Lata Mangeshkar.

The stars, according to Bhansali, epitomize the physical and spiritual beauty of her voice.

We are sure Hrithik and Ash’s chemistry will definitely be something to watch out for.

Candid photo of Aishwarya Rai at Cannes

Wonder how this picture (seemingly taken from a ladies' room at Cannes) leaked on the internet. The photo shows Aishwarya Rai with Elizabeth Banks and Eva Longoria in what seems like a candid moment between the women. Ash is clearly in a playful mood showing off a lighter side of her personality to the camera guy.

We wish we saw more such pictures of the actress rather than the boring poses we often get to see. Thoda aur chalega, Mrs Jr B!

Vashu postpones 'Kal Kissne Dekha'

There's a dramatic twist in the producers/distributors versus multiplexes tale. Vashu Bhagnani's film KAL KISSNE DEKHA, which was slated for release on 29th May, has been shifted ahead, to some time in June. The release date is uncertain, as of now.

Vashu had decided to release the film in single screens and standalone multiplexes the coming Friday [29th May], standing by the directive issued by his association. But there were rumours throughout the week that Vashu had decided "to break the unity" by releasing the film at the national chain of multiplexes.

In fact, there was talk that the national chain of multiplexes were trying hard to convince Vashu to release the film in their properties, in view of the fact that KAL KISSNE DEKHA happens to be Vashu's son Jakky Bhagnani's film.

But Vashu has decided to put an end to all controversies and postpone the film, till the issue with multiplexes is sorted out. When this writer spoke to Vashu on Saturday afternoon [23rd May], the prolific producer confirmed the development, "Yes, KAL KISSNE DEKHA is not arriving on 29th May. I've decided to release the film after 2 or 3 weeks. I just hope that a solution comes out in a couple of days."

Vashu has spent a fortune publicising the film and now that the film has been shifted ahead, Vashu will have to spend an additional amount to keep the promotion in the same gear.

Bebo, Kat... who's the Hollywood bride

A leading Hollywood studio is looking at remaking one of its popular films of 2009 in Hindi, for which it is taking a Bollywood producer’s help, and in which top actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Asin and Sonam Kapoor are being considered for the two leading roles.

The Hollywood film under consideration is the romantic comedy of this year — Bride Wars, starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. In its official Bollywood remake, the film will be one big fat Punjabi wedding with plenty of colour, song and dance, drama, fireworks, the whole nine yards.

Shrishti Behl — director Goldie’s sister, who produced Drona last year, is the Bollywood filmmaker contacted to work on this project. Confirming her participation, Shristi said, “The days of plagiarism are over. Official remakes are the way to go. And Bride Wars lends itself beautifully to an Indian adaptation.”

That it does, but there is likely to be a war among the six top contenders for the two roles in this film. The Hollywood studio, unmindful of the fact that these are the biggest names in Bollywood, is going to conduct a test look to pick their two actresses. Its worldwide production head Stanford Pinatch, talking to BT, said, “We’re trying to produce local-language films all over the world. We’re using the synergy between our distribution operations in all of these territories and tying up with the local production division. There is a shift in the market towards local content. It validates what we’re trying to achieve with these projects.”

Bride Wars, a regular chick flick if there was one, is about a good friendship between two women that goes dangerously bad. And, it will be interesting to see if real life good friends in Bollywood team up for the Hindi remake or the permutations and combinations throw up other alternatives.

The twosomes that come to mind are Katrina and Kareena; Priyanka and Kareena (Shahid Kapoor’s past and present loves, respectively); Asin and Katrina (Salman’s lady love and, well, his co-star who’s currently linked with him); and, Sonam and Deepika (in whose life the common factor is Ranbir Kapoor).

Vidya Balan refuses liplock with co-star Arshad Warsi

After her kiss with Madhavan in Guru, Vidya Balan seems to have developed cold feet to the idea of puckering up to another co-star. The actress has put her foot down and said no to a liplock with Arshad Warsi in Ishqiya.

A source from the unit reveals, "Ishqiya was being shot on Wednesday at the Borivili National Park. Several scenes were to be canned, including one smooch scene between Vidya and Arshad. The actress threw a spanner in the works and completely refused to a liplock with Arshad. Director Abhishek Chaubey was taken aback as he had informed Vidya about the kissing scene beforehand."

The source continues, "Balan has intimate scenes with Arshad in the film but her refusal to smooch shocked everyone. Producer Vishal Bhardwaj was called to the sets. He couldn't make it as he was busy editing his other project, Kaminey. She was persistent. The director was forced to drop it altogether."

It is learnt that Vishal will be meeting Vidya to discuss her reservations for not enacting the scene. The source maintains, "Abhishek is sure that once she speaks to Vishal, she will do the scene. She has been co-operative throughout the shoot. It's surprising that she did steamy scenes but refused to smooch Arshad."

Co-producer Mansi Maroo maintains, "I was present on the sets and nothing like this happened. Vidya is informed about any and all scenes in advance."

Arjun Rampal recently bought a penthouse in Band

Arjun Rampal picks up a sea-facing penthouse apartment in Bandra at a cool Rs 20 crore. The actor will move in with family next week

Says a source close to Arjun, "His new place is a airy and spacious penthouse in Chand Terrace. It's over 5,300 sq ft in size and has more than four bedrooms. It is sea-facing and has a great deal of sunlight coming in".

The deal was brokered a fortnight ago at nearly Rs 20 crore. Says his real estate agent, "Arjun was looking around for nearly six to seven months but couldn't make up his mind. The penthouse was the place where his search ended."

Arjun and wife Mehr Jesia earlier resided with their two daughters, Mahikaa and Myraa at Ritu Apartments in Bandra. But now that their children are growing up, they need more space. Apart from their daughters, Arjun and Mehr have two dogs and four maids. Also Arjun's mother comes to stay with them once in a while, so the couple needed a spacious apartment. The couple had been wanting a large place for over a year. Now, with Arjun's successes last year, they felt it was time to buy a new place even if it meant that it was going to be extremely expensive."

Arjun and Mehr have done the interior design and decoration of the penthouse on their own. Adds the source, "Mehr's got good taste and has an eye for decoration. For the penthouse Arjun and Mehr picked up many home accessories from all over the world including one from their recent trip to New York en route to the Caribbean Islands for Arjun's cousin's wedding. Now that the apartment has been done up completely the family will shift in next week."

Ranbir Kapoor travelled to Karjat to meet his girlfriend Deepika Padukone

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. But Ranbir Kapoor doesn't seem to believe in the adage. The actor couldn't wait to see his girlfriend Deepika Padukone and travelled all the way to Karjat to meet her.

Deepika, who is shooting for Karthik Calling Karthik with Farhan Akhtar in Karjat, was in for a pleasant surprise. Without letting her know, Ranbir decided to land up on the set and surprise her. A source reveals, "Ranbir was shooting for Rocket Singh within city limits.

Since Deepika has been holed up in Karjat, the two didn't get enough time to spend with each other. Hence, Ranbir decided to visit Deepika. That way, the two would get to spend some quality time during their journey back to the city."

The source adds, "Deepika was on cloud nine when she saw Ranbir. She's always on the phone with him in between shots. Contrary to rumours, everything is great between the two and they are madly in love with each other. However since Deepika is busy with her film and ad endorsements, the last few weeks the two lovebirds hadn't met each other for long."
