Karan Johar orchestrate John's strip tease

There are many who feel John Abraham is super hot and that's quite understandable. He of course is and post 'Jism' and then 'Dhoom', many felt that he could act too. But that was it. After that in his later movies like 'Madhoshi', 'Elaan', 'Karam', 'Kaal', 'Viruddh', 'Baabul' and 'Dhan Dhana dhan Goal' his weak acting skills came to the fore. Detractors in B-Town are plenty and one of them (at that time) Kareena Kapoor got a chance to call him 'expressionless' on national TV too (on Koffee with Karan)! Audiences don't take much time to ruthlessly throw actors out of their minds and by now many have forgotten his fairly satisfactory performances in 'Zinda', 'Taxi Number 921' and 'Kabul Express'. Even his movie 'Water' going to the Oscars and talks of Deepa Mehta signing him for her films and even one with 'The Mummy Star' Rachel Weisz hasn't really helped his case much. Now Johnny boy is back to doing what he's good at- flaunting his hot bod! The buzz is that in the movie he's banking on a lot- the Karan Johar 'Dostana', he stops only a wee bit short of dropping all his clothes. The movie's promotional stills show the almost naked John pulling down the sole piece of garment, the yellow trunks without revealing anything than might anger the Censor board. Now the word is that to develop the perfect sculpted body for the shoot, John worked out under fitness expert Mike Ryan who was called from LA to Miami (where 'Dostana' is shot). Sources say it was Karan Johar who is also the designer in the movie insisted on John doing this bare act. But natural, since he can't ask pudgy Abhishek to do the same! John is happy with people's reaction towards his body. Girls are swooning and he's become a gay icon of sorts post the promos! So enthused is John with the reactions that he says he is willing to go further and even pose nude if his role requires him to do so. He reasons that he's 'from a modeling background and that makes him extremely comfortable with his body, be it clothed or otherwise'. All that's fine but since he won't have a Karan Johar to tell him to strip in every other movie post 'Dostana', it would be better for him to hone his acting skills as well!

Short, fat, balding men: Bollywood's unlikely heroes

They may lack the brooding good looks, chiseled jaw and honed physique of the typical leading Bollywood male, but short, fat, balding men are proving that they can still be a screen success.In an image-conscious industry, actors such as Himesh Reshammiya, Vinay Pathak and Paresh Rawal have found that how they look has not been a hindrance.All three readily admit they are no matinee idols, and may even be past their prime, yet are still a box office draw -- suggesting that personality, a sense of humour and raw talent are just as attractive as a pretty face.At five feet five inches (1.64 metres) tall, Reshammiya knows he is an unlikely screen presence. The 35-year-old only became an actor in 2007 after a career as a successful Bollywood music director.It is only people's love that has made me a hero. I am nowhere near other good-looking heroes of the industry," he said.

For his debut film, "Aap Kaa Surroor" (The Real Love Story), Reshammiya wore a baseball cap to cover his bald patch but audiences didn't seem to mind.The film more than held its own with two other movies released on the same day with more stellar casts.Middle-aged Pathak shot to fame as the irritating but endearing idiot Bharat Bhushan in the 2007 film Bheja Fry", a remake of the French comedy "Le Diner de Cons" (The Dinner Game).

He then followed up in the well-received comedy-drama "Mithya" in 2008, about a struggling actor who has the misfortune of being the double of an underworld don.All three men are modest about their success, arguing that character and acting ability has a more enduring appeal than the hero's looks -- which on its own is no guarantee of success.If a film is made with heart, honesty, happiness, passion and sincerity it will click. I am not in competition with any hero. My attempt is to make good cinema as much as I can. This is my main objective," said Pathak.

Rawal, who is nudging 60 and has played bad guys and comic roles, has had a succession of box office hits, including "Maalamaal Weekly" in 2006. He will play three different parts in his upcoming film "Oye Lucky, Oye Lucky".I don't consider myself as a star but only an actor. I came to this industry in the 1980s to become an actor and not a hero. I knew I would survive because I can act well," he said.The demands of acting have, however, led to some compromises for the unlikely leading men.

In his latest film "Karzzzz", which hits screens on October 17, Reshammiya has had a hair weave. He is also on a protein diet and cutting out the pizzas and ice-cream to get in shape for the five films he has lined up for next year.I cannot have flab on my stomach now if I want to be a hero," he admitted.Pathak also shed a few pounds for his new film "Dasvidaniya" (Goodbye).But both insist they are not succumbing to vanity.Reshammiya still touts himself as an average Joe of humble stock, albeit one who now has a personal make-up artist in tow.I have ordinary looks and I guess therefore the common man can relate to me when he sees me on the big screen," he said.

Pathak added: "I only put on or lose weight according to the characters that I play in my film. I never wanted to be a hero and only wanted to be a good actor," he explained.All my films are character driven and not hero driven."Rawal agreed, saying his goal is commercial success and critical acclaim.I don't want to get trapped into the stardom business," he said. "Stardom is for a limited time span compared to that of an actor whose acting lifeline is very long."

RGV to rope in Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone for Sarkar 3?

Grapevine is abuzz that the third movie in the ‘Sarkar’ series will feature Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

Though Amitabh Bachchan may have expressed his reservation about working in the third Sarkar movie, Ram Gopal Varma never ruled out yet another sequel. In fact, the news of ‘Sarkar 3’ was doing rounds since the day Sarkar Raj released.

It was apparent from the open ending that Varma gave to the film. The scene in which Amitabh tells his wife to call Chickoo, who is Kay Kay Menon ’s son, to come back to India indicated that the director wanted to continue the story in the next movie.

If the news is to be believed, Ranbir is going to play the grown-up Chickoo who returns to India. And Deepika will portray his love interest on screen. Ranbir and Deepika were last seen together in Bachna Ae Haseeno and filmmakers love to cash in on the off-screen chemistry of the stars.

The speculation was also rife that Jaya Bachchan might play a significant role in ‘Sarkar 3’. Whatever the news or speculation, ‘Sarkar 3’ would be soulless without Amitabh Bachchan . So, Amitabh and possibly Aishwarya Rai will be there for the sequel.

Varma has yet to confirm the news. And he is not available for any comments. So wait and watch.
