Who is Hrithik imitating of late

Stars often imitate real life heroes to get their reel life roles right. Preity Zinta imitated journalist Barkha Dutt to get her act right in Lakshya. Vidya Balan aped radio jockey Malishka to look natural in Munnabhai. Hrithik Roshan who plays a Salsa dancer in Kites too has a dance instructor who he has been closely observing for the past few months.

The man in question is none other than Salsa expert Sandip Soparkar. Our source present on the set of Kites revealed, “Sandip has also choreographed few dance sequences in the film. Since Hrithik too plays a Salsa instructor, he closely observed Sandip, the way he dances, teaches, claps, etc.”

When asked Sandip, he said, “It was a dream to choreograph Hrithik. He is so flexible and natural. He adds so much more to his role than what is given to him. It is also true that he wanted to act like me as he too plays a Salsa expert in the film.”

Emraan-Soha will do what SRK and Akki couldn't

Four years back, the infamous Mumbai floods had created headlines world over. True to their reputation, the Bhatt brothers have taken a cue from these headlines and finished Tum Mile, a film that has the 2005 floods as its backdrop. Directed by Kunal Deshmukh of Jannat fame, the film stars Vishesh Films' blue eyed boy Emraan Hashmi along with Soha Ali Khan and is all set for a 24th July release. Says a unit source, "The film sees the return of Sony Music and Vishesh Films who had collaborated just a few weeks back for Raaz - The Mystery Continues. Not only was the horror flick biggest hit ever for Emraan Hashmi and Vishesh Films, even if one looks at the quarter gone by, Raaz - The Mystery Continues is the first and the only hit of 2009." He does make a point when while stating the fact that this is no mean feat considering that some of the biggest stars and biggest movies were released in the first quarter of 2009. "Look at Akshay Kumar's Chandni Chowk To China, Shah Rukh Khan's Billu, Abhishek Bachchan's Delhi 6 or Farhan Akhtar's Luck By Chance - not a single film turned lucky and actually sunk without a trace." Says Mukesh Bhatt, "We have always maintained that content is the King. We have backed strong content and now the icing on the cake is that we also have a top actor (Emraan Hashmi) amongst us. This only makes the project bigger and better." Not much is revealed about the story line of the movie though except for the fact that it is a love story with a backdrop of infamous 26th July'05 Mumbai floods. Apparently, the characters played by Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan get trapped in the floods. Insiders have been raving about the canvas of the film since these floods on the streets of Mumbai have been re-created. "You should have been on the sets to believe it", says Emraan Hashmi, "Water level there was scary enough to actually drown people. Kunal (Deshmukh) wanted the situation to be an exact replica of the horrific flood situation that the city faced that fateful night. It was difficult to even imagine how commuters would have struggled with no support whatsoever." The film is also special for another reason. Though Raaz - The Mystery Continues saw Bhatts coming together with a team of different composers, Tum Mile marks the coming back of Pritam whose last association with them had resulted in blockbuster musical success Jannat'. Earlier, he has also worked on the music of Awarapan, Gangster and Woh Lamhe for the Bhatt banner. Tum Mile is not the first film though which has been based on the 2005 floods. A small time film called 26th July at Barista was released without any fanfare last year. The film had starred newcomers like Kabier Sawhney and Simran Vaid and was touted as a tribute to all the people of Mumbai who faced this hard reality and overcame it. However, the film had arrived unannounced and sank without a trace.

The ugly truth about Katrina-Aishwarya battle

After there were talks all around about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being immortalized as a Barbie doll, there was speculation that Genelia D’Souza was considered too because of her doll like and younger face. Then suddenly it came out that Katrina Kaif will be the Barbie and she claimed that Ash was not in the running at all. She also went around telling whoever cared to listen that she’s the first Indian to get that privilege. Well, many ridiculed that claim of hers as she holds a British passport. And Kat might claim that she has nothing against Ash and she respects her and all that, but smart cookie Ash isn't one to stay quiet without clarifying things. She said she refused the Barbie doll deal due to her professional commitments. In fact her representatives were in negotiations with Barbie's manufacturer Mattel, who planned to give the iconic doll a Bollywood face. But the deal did not take off. In fact since 1994 when Aishwarya won the Miss World title, the company has made numerous attempts to make a celebrity doll modelled on the Indian beauty. However, she could never make time for their endeavour, due to her professional commitments. Again on the doll's 50th anniversary, Aishwarya was approached to appear decked up as a celebrity Barbie but she had to opt out of that too due to her prior commitments with film-makers whose shoots clashed with the events. A statement issued by Aishwarya's spokesperson said, "Mattel was keen to have the actress walk the ramp on Lakme Fashion Week 'Barbie dolled up' in a winning design as Single Likeness Barbie, which would be unveiled and auctioned for a charity of her choice." God alone knows what the whole truth is. Hopefully we’ll get a glimpse of the whole truth one fine day Till then, Katrina can shut up and enjoy it all.

Preity is overwhlemed by Dharamji

When Preity Zinta had a special screening of her film Videsh – Heaven on Earth for a select few, the surprise guest was our macho man Dharmendra, who was shyly standing in a corner and smiling at everyone who came in.

And the humble man actually strode up to the people he didn’t know and introduced himself, making easy conversation and making them comfortable. It took loads of pressure off Preity who could then focus on a few guests herself. So while she got into a serious discussion with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Dharamji had Kangna Ranaut charmed with his sweet stories.

They even discussed TV shows and what they liked watching. So cute, no? Kangna was floored by his simplicity and charm. As for Dharam, he blushed more than PZ’s and Kangna’s pink-pink cheeks put together. But like we’ve always said, once you gottit, you gottit. Gettit?

Terminator SRK is back in action

Mr Bionic Man is at it again.

With even more ‘titanium’ (and various metallic parts) inside his body, Shah Rukh Khan actually laughed aloud when we called him ‘Terminator’. “Yes. I’m a Terminator. I terminate my rivals. I terminate obstacles and I’m now even more ‘bionic’ than before,” he told us.

And all the ‘metal’ is probably putting more steel in his spine too, when it comes to dealing with ‘shouldering’ all his roles and responsibilities. In fact, he’s hit the floor running — from walking the ramp, to shooting for Karan’s film, to planning his cricket strategies to shooting videos... Phew! Now isn’t that too much bojh on his brand new shoulder? Well, it’s only because his recently operated shoulder is still healing. Otherwise our King Khan can stalwartly carry the cross of Bollywood on his big, broad shoulders, hai na? And while his whirlwind activity is on, we heard that Gauri and buddy Karan Johar have been tut-tutting and are becoming overly protective about that still ‘sore’ part of him. He’s shooting for

My Name Is Khan, and Karan’s been overtly careful to shoot only some easy portions with SRK, no heavy-duty stuff for him for sometime. Hmnnnn. Does this also mean that he won’t be jumping on some cricketer and wrapping himself around him...a la Shoaib Akhtar last year? Hmnnn and double hmnnnn!

Who will be the next Miss India?

Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai, Lara Dutta, Priyanka Chopra and yesteryear beauties like Zeenat Aman, Persis Khambatta and Nafisa Ali all owe their international fame and recognition to the 56 year old Femina Miss India contest which is all set to crown its next beauty queens.

AND as always, Bollywood will make its presence felt at the Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2009. Former beauty queen Priyanka Chopra, showstopper Kangana Ranaut and the lively Genelia D’souza will dance to their chartbusting numbers. The performances will be choreographed by function favourite Shiamak Davar and his inimitable troupe. Hot mama Malaika Arora Khan and humorous cutie R Madhavan will be hosts for the evening. Karan Wahi and Swapnil Joshi will keep the crowds and judges entertained. Kangana's spokesperson said, "Kangana will be wearing a yellow and silver ghaghra choli. She will be dancing to a medley of songs like Nimbooda, Dola Re Dola and Mera Piya Ghar Aaya."

The contestants’ perfect bodies will be draped in amazing creations by Rocky S, Rajesh and Anirban for Pantaloons, veteran designer Ritu Kumar and Prasad Bidappa and Rajan for Arabella. Expert choreographer Marc Robinson, who was the man behind the successful Barbie and Tarun Tahiliani for Levi’s shows at the recently held Lakme Fashion Week, has also trained the contestants to walk the ramp and is the fashion director for Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2009. So, expect a flawless fashion show.

Marc Robinson said, “I am extremely enthusiastic to be associated with Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2009 and I will do full justice to the cause. A Femina Miss India is a modern, confident, talented and independent Indian woman who can make India proud on the global platform.. We have received a fabulous response from across India and selecting a handful of girls from the numerous applications we have received has been quite a task. Given the recent success of Slumdog Millionaire, India is on a global high and the contemporary Indian woman today is a personification of such globalization and she is here to stay for good.”

Mr. Zahid Shaikh – Chief Marketing Pantaloons, said, “As the Pantaloons association with Femina Miss India now enters the third year, the pageant has moved from strength to strength. The success of the pageant has been to take this talent search to every corner of India up to Guwahati, Bhubaneshwar, Indore & Mangalore where Pantaloons has been an active partner in every city. Youth and Style is the cornerstone for both Pantaloons and Femina Miss India where Pantaloons is playing the effective part of grooming the contestants. With the success of Parvathy (Omanakuttan) on the international platform last year, we hope that this year the contestants’ talent will make this an eventful year for Pantaloons Femina Miss India as well.”

The grand finale of the Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2009 contest will take place tomorrow at the Andheri Sports Complex. The 20 contestants, who have undergone a month of intense training from personal grooming to fitness and speech training, will vie for the coveted crown(s) as three winners: Pantaloons Femina Miss India Universe, Pantaloons Femina Miss India Earth and Pantaloons Femina Miss India World will be chosen from amongst them.

Getting Priyanka-Shahid into a Kaminey look

Looks do matter. Especially when the female in question is Priyanka Chopra. She was a stunner in her last two successful outings at the box office - Dostana and Fashion. If in the former she was the editor of a fashion magazine, in the latter she was a show- stopper herself. Of course, all shows stopped at her arrival but she decided to take a different route altogether in her films to follow. She decided to be choosy about her work and picked on only two projects, Kaminey and What's Your Rashee. What makes Kaminey special is the fact that she got to work with director Vishal Bhardwaj, a master story teller when it comes to real cinema, and known for giving his leading ladies an entirely different look. While speculations were abounding about Priyanka Chopra's appearance in Kaminey, there has been a constant buzz ever since the first theatrical promo of the film hit the screens. Her hardcore Marathi girl act has made people sit up and take notice of Kaminey that has Shahid Kapoor in the lead. Says Priyanka's close associate, "In the film, she plays the role of Sweety who is not only a bindaas girl but also someone who is traditional to the core (watch her doing those typical Maharashtrian dance steps and you will know). She is on a complete tangent if one remembers her ultra chic and glam avtar in the films that she has been seen in over the years. Agrees Priyanka for whom Kaminey will be her first release of 2009 as a leading lady (after a hectic 2008 which saw her featuring in six back to back releases - Love Story 2050, God Tussi Great Ho, Chamku, Drona, Fashion and Dostana), "Yes, there has been an effort to make Sweety look completely different. She had to be believable and someone who isn't ultra glamorous. Also, I have gone with a minimal make-up look in the film." Even Shahid Kapoor seems to be enjoying his double role stint in the film where one of the characters played by him not just stammers but also keeps an unkempt look. 'Reality' is what Vishal Bhardwaj has ensured in his characters and the same holds good for Shahid Kapoor too. With both Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra seemingly going for a makeover and giving an altogether new account of themselves, the wait begins for this film which is all set to arrive at theaters on 26th June (yes, the film has been moved from it's original release date of 5th June). But poor Piggy Chops is is presently having fever and has therefore been advised complete bed rest by her personal doctor. Priyanka was shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker’s What’s Your Rashee when she started feeling a little under the weather. As her temperature increased, the concerned director Ashutosh Gowarikar, immediately cancelled shooting for his film. A close friend of Priyanka tells us, “Priyanka hates being sick but she has been down with viral fever since past three days. A high body temperature of 104 degrees has got her completely bed ridden. One can recollect when she was shooting for Dostana, she fell ill but when she came to know that the set they were shooting was going to be dismantled the following day, she got her physician to the set. After he had administered injections, Priyanka was able to complete shooting her portions for the day. But as there was no deadline for What’s Your Rashee? Priyanka was able to rest for two days.” We just hope Priyanka gets well soon. May be her good friend Shahid Kapoor should give her a visit and perhaps that would work as a wonder medicine.

SRK: Cheerleading is not vulgar

If cricket is a no-nonsense sport for Badshah Khan, so is cheerleading.

For all those people who think cheerleading is a vulgar act, Knights and Angels was SRK’s answer to them. Supporting the sport, SRK says, “Knights and Angels is not a part of the marketing strategy for my cricket team. It is an extension of my belief in spreading the awareness of sports in India. Cheerleading is a big sport in America and cheerleaders have their own fan following.

As the controversy hit our nation last year regarding this new sport, I decided to add respectability to a profession which can create great opportunities for the youth brigade.” When somebody asked King Khan how he was managing to shoot for the finale despite being in pain because of the shoulder injury, pat came the witty reply from the Baadshah, “Iss saal sabko haraane ke liye meri team ka ek hi haat kaafi hai.” King Khan, all we can say is hats off for promoting and glamourising sports in our country. Tune in to Knights and Angels tonight at 9 pm only on NDTV Imagine.

Women are superior: Akshay

Is it sheer coincidence, pure conspiracy or a publicity stunt that whenever Akshay Kumar has a film ready for release, the action star gets embroiled in some controversy that takes on national proportions and gets played out on all channels with full drama?

It happened before Chandni Chowk To China and, earlier, Singh Is Kinng. Now just after the Khiladi’s new big film hit the screens yesterday, Akshay is in the thick of two burning issues relating to a promo for Sajid Nadiadwala’s July release Kambhakth Ishq and his being a somewhat daring showstopper at the Lakme Fashion Week for designer Tarun Tahiliani on Monday.

According to his detractors, the Kambhakth Ishq promo has Akshay holding the sexy Kareena Kapoor suggestively with his lines reading, “Women are good for only one thing...” The film promo, released on March 27, has tongues wagging in disapproval already. And at fashion week, well, his walking the ramp in jeans that were unbuttoned partially by wife Twinkle sitting among the frontbenchers, has led to a social worker filing a complaint with the police against the actor, his wife, the LFW organisers and also the hotel where the event was held for indecent, vulgar and obscene behaviour..

The police is uncertain whether it has a case. And legal experts vary between being vague about the law and dismissive of the complaint. But Akshay is furious. These aren’t publicity stunts, he declared.

Earlier when dragged through similar fires, the actor scoffed at the attempts to defame him as being the work of a leading contemporary in Bollywood who was insecure about his meteoric rise in the film industry. But this time, while not taking names and hinting that he knew who was behind the exercise, Akshay is determined to prove a point.

Apologising if the jeans-being-unbuttoned stunt hurt anybody’s sentiments, he said that the entire act was part of the storyboard and was no big deal — thereby shooting down the rumour that it was done at the last minute because SRK was going to be Manish Malhotra’s showstopper later that night. And of the Kambhakth Ishq promo, again he chose to take the actor’s way out by saying, “Why do people forget that actors play roles, enact parts and deliver lines to get reactions... they are never personal?”

The promo, incidentally, gives only half the line. “Wait for the complete line,” advised Akshay, “then women will be glad to know how the jerk I portray eventually sees the value and importance of the superior gender — the woman!”

Prachi Desai: Tusshar is very supportive

After making a successful transition from television to films with her role opposite Farhan Akhtar in the hit Rock On!!, Prachi Desai’s next project in Bollywood is a romantic comedy titled Life Partner, releasing in May. The young actress stars opposite Tusshar Kapoor in the film which also features Govinda, Genelia D’Souza and Fardeen Khan.

SPEAKING about her character in Life Partner and how it differs from her role as a wife in Rock On!!, Prachi says, “My character in Life Partner is very chirpy, frank and modern. Despite being a modern girl, she regards upholding values and culture as very important. After paying an understanding wife in Rock On!!, this role offered me something different to do. I hope to play different roles in each of my films in the future too.”

As for the cast of the film, Prachi says, “I have worked with Tusshar for the first time in this film and he has been very supportive. He is a brilliant actor who has been a guide for me throughout the film. He has the ability to completely take hold of the character he is playing. Every member of the cast was really good. Genelia has also done a superb job.”

Her co-star Govinda is known for his superstitious nature; when asked if he displayed this trait on the sets, Prachi says, “I really don’t know anything about Govinda being superstitious and I have never encountered any such incidents on the sets. He is quite funny and I think that he does the best comedy onscreen.”

As an upcoming star in Bollywood, we asked Prachi to name her favourite Bollywood actors. She says, “I like quite a few stars such as Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Kajol. But my all-time favourite is Preity Zinta. She has a way of acting that makes her so lively and realistic. She has always been a pleasure to watch onscreen. As for the guys, I like Hrithik Roshan; he is my all-time favourite actor. He is perfect in every aspect.”

Surprisingly, Shah Rukh Khan is not on the favourite list. Reacting to this, she says, “He is also good. That way, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and everyone is good but I think Hrithik has a unique style of acting and stands out in the horde.”

Although Hrithik tops her list of favourite actors, given a chance Prachi's first choice to work with is none other than her first co-star. She says, “I would like to work with Farhan Akhtar once again. I think he is a great actor.”

Apart from Life Partner, Prachi has also signed for a role in the underworld-based film Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, directed by Milan Luthria starring Emraan Hashmi.

Celina Jaitley has no Aitraaz to Kannada Film!

The super sexy Celina Jaitley is now heading down south. Now all you Celina fans need not get worried! It's just for one film!

The actress' office confirms that she is going to be part of a South Indian film and has signed her first Kannada film named Shreemati opposite south superstar Upendra.

Now the film we hear is a remake of the Bollywood Blockbuster Aitraaz and Celina will be essaying the same role as that of Priyanka’s in the Hindi film. The big question is do you think Jaitley will be able to pull off PC's role?

And one little secret that we just heard is that initially Priyanka’s role in Aitraaz had been offered to Celina by Abbas Mustan but she had turned it down and now Celina is doing the same role in Kannada.

So is that Celina could be regretting her decision after Aitraaz became the superhit it did? Or is she hoping that it will do the same for her career as it did for Priyanka?!

Ranbir overtakes Saif and Kareena by 18 crores

Two-film-old Ranbir Kapoor should be feeling quite proud of himself. The young actor’s latest film has a budget which exceeds Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s next film by 18 crores. Ranbir’s Wake Up Sid as well as Saif and Kareena’s Jehaad are both being produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

WAKE Up Sid is a romance set in Mumbai revolving around a good looking young man (Ranbir Kapoor) who falls for an older, simple woman (Konkona Sen Sharma), who is a writer from Kolkata. A source from the production team says, “The film’s budget was initially 80 crores but due to the recent market condition, it was reduced to 60 crores. Hopefully, the film will release in October this year.”

As for Renzil D'Silva’s Jehaad, starring Saif and Kareena, a source says that it has an estimated budget of 42 crores. The source adds, “The film, based on terrorism, revolves around an Indian woman (Kareena Kapoor) who marries and moves to the US. Later, she finds out that her husband is a part of a terrorist group. It will release this year.”

The news is surprising as Saif and Kareena are considered the hottest pair in Bollywood right now and they are the most expensive brand as a couple. In addition to this, Saif has appeared in 50 films and Ranbir’s cousin, Kareena, has done 38 films. But Dharma Productions doesn’t seem to think these are good enough reasons to splurge on Jehaad’s budget.

Rumours doing the rounds that establish Karan’s high hopes for Wake Up Sid are that he has given the distribution rights of the film to UTV Motion Pictures, making it an exception as all his previous films have always been distributed by Yash Raj.

What's happening in Bollywood!

All the pretty girls in town; one has a sporty cover, one has a new cosmetic deal, the others have the same phone and two have the same awful dress.

Perfect New Face: Joining the likes of Aishwarya Rai and Eva Longoria, is the stylish Sonam Kapoor who is seen in a print ad for the new Flawless White Perfect day crème. The ad appears in the April issue of magazines like Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire.


Sporty Girl: Svelte and sexy bod Shilpa Shetty graces the April issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. It makes sense for her to be in sportswear since the IPL is about to start.


Same-Same: Priyanka Chopra and Prachi Desai share the same phone in different colours. Priyanka has a black Nokie N95 while Prachi has the mauve and silver version of the same. The phone will set you back by a cool 25 grand


Vote Karo: While we are happy that Kat has been named as the Indian Barbie but we can't really help but wonder if that decision is fair?! Katrina has a British passport and is a British citizen. What is more is that she can’t even speak the National language fluently enought while Ash is fluent in Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Urdu along with English. Ash is internationally renowned while Katrina doesn’t enjoy international fame. So really what could be the reason for Kat edging Ash out for this one?


Horrific Match: Shriya Saran wore the short and slightly varied version of the dress to the LFW recently while Neetu Chandra wore it to a Gladrags event a month ago. Both are equally repulsive and ghastly. Don’t the ladies take a second opinion before stepping out?


Jewellery Diva: The gorgeous Sushmita Sen inaugurates a PC Jewellers showroom in New Delhi. We love that she isn’t clad in black and her white outfit looks beautiful and relaxed. Her kundan neckpiece is elegant, even royal and we’d love to get out hands on it. The green rock on her finger makes us green with envy.

No kidding, Katrina Kaif is looking to win a national award

After a slew of out and out comedies like "Namastey London", "Partner" and "Singh Is Kinng", Katrina Kaif is now working on two "difficult" films - Prakash Jha's political drama "Rajneeti" and Rajkumar Santoshi's romantic comedy "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani"- and the actress wants to devote extra time and thought to the projects. "This year I would like to allocate time to big films. The kind of films I am doing - 'Rajneeti' and 'Ajab Prem...' are a little more difficult. They need time and also a little more thought process, " Katrina told. The films are slated for release this year. In "Ajab Prem..." Katrina shares screen space with Ranbir Kapoor and Upen Patel, while in "Rajneeti" she stars alongside a bevy of actors including Ranbir, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar and Manoj Bajpai. Katrina says that Santoshi's dedication and "knack for making his actors win national awards" is something that makes her want to work hard for his film. "'Ajab Prem...' is a very different film. Raj-ji is a taskmaster on the sets and the results of that are visible. I need to dedicate enough time and attention to this film because I think the movie is going to be very special and very important for me. It's nothing like I have done before, " said the 24-year-old actress. Katrina shares similar sentiments for Jha, who has helmed films like "Gangaajal" and "Apaharan" in the past. "Prakash Jha is highly intelligent and highly interested in his project. A film like 'Rajneeti' is not something where I can just jump and say - 'Sir, my hair is done, my costume is done and I'm ready', something I can do in most films that are comic capers. "For films like his, one has to research clothes. I can't decide on my own what I want to wear or what I would prefer. I have to follow the character I am playing. 'Rajneeti' is a very grounded, a very rooted film, and so I am going to be dedicating a little more time as the project requires it, " she said. In "Rajneeti" Katrina sports a simple and de-glamourized look in a crisp cotton sari and with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Though the look bears a resemblance to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, the director has denied that her role has anything to do with the senior leader. Though Katrina has mostly starred in comedies like "Namastey London" and "Singh Is Kinng" (Vipul Shah), "Partner" (David Dhawan) and "Welcome" (Anees Bazmee) in her over five-year-old career, she says she "might not be doing another comedy, fun, masti film very dedicatedly any time soon". Apart from "Rajneeti" and "Ajab Prem...", Katrina has Yash Raj Film's "New York", Anthony D'Souza's "Blue" and also a two-film deal with production house UTV in her kitty.

Katrina splurges money on spot boys

Katrina Kaif is enjoying a good phase in her career and can afford to spend as much as she can. On herself of course. But the actress just decided to spurge on the unit members of Rajkumar Santoshi's ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani’. The buzz is that while shooting at Film City, Kat distributed as much as Rs 5 lakh among the unit members which included the technicians and spot boys. A source reveals, "After wrapping up the schedule, Katrina went into her vanity van and came out with bundles of notes and started distributing them among the unit members. She was in a happy mood and wanted to share her happiness with everyone." Katrina has reportedly acted on her instincts and while handing the money also thanked everyone personally. It’s being said that she was showing appreciation for the long hours, sometimes 16 hours at a stretch that the unit had put in and her way of saying thanks to as many as 300 people was calling them by their names and handing out the cash to each one personally. The director Santoshi was also reportedly caught by surprise as people don’t usually do what he did Reportedly Kat doesn’t wish to publicize this whole thing much. A source said, "Katrina is not comfortable talking about it but yes, she did give away Rs 5 lakh to the entire unit. While handing out the cash, she personally commended everyone on his job. Also though stars and technicians often get credit for their work most unit people neither get appreciation nor credit. Katrina just felt it was the right thing to do and she did it." Well, that’s what her handlers say, but in a way by not talking about it, she’s publicizing it already. Much like every other Bollywood star who wishes to show off his/ her charitable side.

8x10 Tasveer - Music Review

Music Director: Salim-Sulaiman and Bohemia; Lyrics: Irfan Siddique, Sameer and Bohemia Singers: Vishal Dadlani, Mohit Chouhan, Tulsi Kumar, Neeraj Shridhar and Bohemia Rating: *** Riding high on the success of "Fashion" and "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", the musical duo of brothers Salim and Sulaiman Merchant are ready with the soundtrack of Akshay Kumar-starrer "8x10 Tasveer" and they seem to have brought together quite a different genre. They have also presented a mix of both fast-paced peppy numbers and free-flowing, soft melodies. The first song "Aaja maahi", crooned by Neeraj Shridhar and Tulsi Kumar, starts with a western feel and English lyrics. Even though the words lack punch, the song is melodious and worth listening. The remix version of this song adds nothing but beats to the original. Up next is "Haafiz khuda", which has all the qualities to win listeners' hearts with its soulful, melodious music and free -flowing vocals by Mohit Chauhan. In this number, Mohit is joined by Tulsi Kumar behind the mike. The rendition is bound to make listeners sit up and take notice. "Haafiz khuda" too has a remixed version, but the original is more appealing. An Akshay Kumar film and a rap number seem to go hand in hand these days. After teaming up with Bohemia in "Chandni Chowk To China", the actor has shared vocals once again with the US-based hip-hop and rap star in "8X10 Tasveer". The song " I got the picture" is a peppy number with the same feel of the rap song in "Chandni Chowk...". The remix of the same track, which is high on beats, is sure to be a hit on the DJ consoles. "Kuchh is tarah", which is once again in Mohit Chauhan's and Tulsi Kumar's voice, is a hummable number that pulls one's heart strings. Soothing to the ears, this romantic track brings out the best in Chauhan. The remix version too doesn't disappoint with appropriate musical arrangements. Easily the best song of the album, "Nazaara hai" sets the adrenalin pumping with its strong musical backing and powerful vocals by Vishal Dadlani of the composer duo Vishal and Shekhar. The number is soaked in the flavour of rock music. The predominance of the electric guitar, especially in the middle of the song, makes it a sure shot hit with music buffs. The remix of "Nazaara hai" is average, nowhere close to the original. On the whole, Salim-Sulaiman have kept up their good work in "8x10 Tasveer" and are definitely emerging as one of the best in the business.
