'Shut Up and Bounce'

After Desi Girl, it's now time for Shilpa Shetty to Shut Up and Bounce. That's the song in Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana that will air soon.

Producer Karan Johar says, "Shilpa has done a sizzling job but the credit also goes to Tarun and Vaibhavi Merchant (choreographer). Composed by Vishal-Shekhar, the track is an introductory song picturised on the film's stars John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan in Miami.

Tarun and Vaibhavi wanted a hot actress to be with them. We all brainstormed and felt that Shilpa undoubtedly has the best body in the business."

Tarun adds, "Vishal-Shekhar and I were bouncing all kinds of tunes when they both got fed up with me and said, 'Shut up and give me a song that won't bounce' and that became the catchword."

About choosing Shilpa, Tarun says, "She is the quintessential bikini babe. She was comfortable about wearing everything and is very dedicated. We were to shoot the song in seven days but completed it in four and a half."

A source close to Shilpa says, "The actress had stopped doing item numbers as people had stopped taking her seriously. She was concentrating more on performance-oriented roles. When Karan asked her to do the song, Shilpa wanted to hear it out.

The moment she heard it, she loved it and agreed instantly. Shilpa also loved the perfect amalgamation of her favourite people working with her which included apart from Karan and Vaibhavi, Manish Malhotra (designer), Mickey Contractor (make-up) and Latika (hairstylist).

Adds the source, "When she landed in Miami, her baggage went missing. But she went shopping with Manish and bought stuff from designers Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana to wear."

Kinng's JUMBO voice for nine crores!



The remuneration being paid to superstar Akshay Kumar has been the favourite subject of discussion all over. The prices being speculated vary from Rs. 31 crores to Rs. 70 crores! While we will explain the truth (if any!) and the nitti–gritties of the same later, here is something much more interesting!

As per trade sources, Akshay Kumar has been paid a whopping Rs. 9 crores for dubbing the dialogues and participating in the picturisations of two promotional songs for Percept Picture Company's animation film, JUMBO. What is amazing about this deal is that Akshay Kumar does not have a deep baritone voice and it is not one of his strong points!

For the information of the fans of Akshay Kumar and all others, the upcoming JUMBO is all set to hit the screens on 18th December 2008, a week before Aamir Khan's GHAJINI.

Crown Princess of Sweden dines with Aamir Khan


Crown Princess of Sweden, Victoria, who also happens to be the apparent heir to the prestigious throne of Sweden, had invited our very own superstar, Aamir Khan, for an exclusive dinner with her during her ongoing state visit to India.

Since she happened to be one of the many zillions who had seen Aamir's masterpiece Taare Zameen Par, she was highly appreciative of his film. And in reciprocation, Aamir replied, "It is a privilege to receive a special invitation like this".


Needless to say that, in this moment of honor, Aamir's lovely wife Kiran Rao was there by her hubby's side! As it was time to bid farewell, Aamir gifted Princess Victoria an antique lithograph (sketches of India during the colonial period), while she gifted him a DVD collection of the legendary Ingmar Bergman's films.

Way to go, Aamir!

Deepika to pair with Hrithik in Bhansali's next

She's been considered hot property right from the time she started modeling. And after OSO, she's become Tinsel Town's coveted girl.

Well, the hype around Deepika is understandable. She's got expressive good looks and an Ash like aura, unlike the other hyped hot property (by default), the stiff and wooden Katrina Kaif.

With the successful 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' behind her, she has another big one 'Chandni Chowk To China' with hit machine Kinng Kumar lined up!

She has Saif's ambitious home production as well! Thanks to her rocking real life pairing with Ranbir Kapur, she's always in the news too!

Now Deepika has another reason too to be cheerful about! Sanjay Leela Bhansali has selected her for a leading role opposite Hrithik Roshan, no less!

We remember that as OSO's leading lady and debutante she had to face competition from Bhansali's 'Saawariya', around this time last year.

But, now she has impressed the creative director too!

The buzz is that Bhansali is trying to get the rest of the cast sorted by end of this month and expects to start shooting as soon as Hrithik completes his current movie, 'Kites.'

This sure is one lucky girl!

Mumbai's street pups inspired Roadside Romeo: Jugal Hansraj

Cute pups playing by the roadside; yawning, scratching, winking at one another and chasing vehicles on the streets of Mumbai - that is what inspired actor-turned-director Jugal Hansraj to write and direct his animation film "Roadside Romeo".

"I was stuck in a traffic jam in Mumbai once and I saw some stray dogs playing near a garbage pile. They were running behind scooters and seemed so happy and oblivious of the world around them.

They were so involved in their own game that I thought how about telling their story and that's how the idea of 'Roadside Romeo' came to me, " Jugal told in an interview.

"Roadside Romeo" is India's first ever three-dimensional (3D) mainstream animation venture. Releasing Friday, it is co-produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF) Studio and Hollywood studio Walt Disney Co. It is visualised, executed and delivered by a 150 member team of Tata group's Tech arm Tata Elxsi.

The film has eight voice overs including Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and versatile actor-dancer-mimicry artiste Javed Jaffrey. They have lent their voice for the lead characters in the movie - Romeo, Laila and Charlie Anna respectively.

Asked the basis on which he chose these actors for the voiceovers, Jugal said: "I had Saif, Kareena and Javed in mind since the time the film was in the writing stage. The characters are like them.

For example, Romeo is based on Saif - cool, rich and stylish and likewise for Laila and Charlie Anna's character that is inspired from Kareena and Javed.

Jugal started his career as a child artiste in the 1983 with "Masoom". In 1994 he featured as a full-fledged actor in "Aa Gale Lag Ja" - he was paired with Urmila Matondkar, who played his sister in "Masoom", in the romantic saga that bombed at the box office.

He was noticed in "Papa Kehte Hain" and "Mohabbatein". But the films failed to boost his acting career and now he is trying his luck as a director.

Jugal says "Roadside Romeo" happened by chance.

"The movie wasn't planned actually. I love animation films and I used to be very fascinated by how they are made. I used to buy all books and DVDs on animation. At the same time, Adi (Aditya Chopra), who is a very good friend of mine since college days, wanted to make an animation film in India that was completely for the Indian audience.

"Considering my love for animation, he approached me and I wrote some ideas for him and he liked 'Roadside Romeo' a lot and asked me to start developing the project. It took me 20 drafts before the film got finalised, " he said.

Despite his love for animation, Jugal did have a tough time working on the project.

"Animation can be done by someone only who loves it because it requires a lot of patience. For example, when I didn't like a particular scene or an expression of a character, it took not less than two days to recreate the whole scene. It took two-and-a-half years to shoot the 90-minute movie.

"We managed to make the film because of my love for animation and my being very patient in life, " said the shy and reclusive Jugal.

Apart from donning the writer and the director's cap, Jugal has also dabbled in singing and dubbing for the movie.

"I've done a couple of four liners in the dialogues for the extras and a few lines with the music director Salim as a part of the chorus in songs, " he shared.

Jugal is also toying with a couple of more animation movie ideas.

He is both nervous and confident about "Roadside Romeo".

"I am having butterflies in the stomach as the release date is approaching. There is fear and a bit of apprehension too as it is my debut project but still I am sure people will like the movie. It's a fun-filled movie for both kids and adults and has been made for them to have a good time, " he said.

Sounding pretty excited about her upcoming release, Golmaal Returns she says, and "I think I have formed a relationship with comedies instead".

(Laughs) My co-star in the film is Shreyas Talpade and it is my third film with him. I enjoy working with him. I must admit that I grow every time I do a scene with him. His comic timing is so good.

We used to improvise our scenes together a lot. It will all reflect on screen when you see it on big screen." Celina concludes.
