Prying cameras upset Amitabh

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan says that prying cameras disturbed the Karva Chauth, a festival that celebrates wedded bliss, at his house.

"The prying electronic media positioned themselves at vantage points to invade private space inside our home. It is callous, abhorrent act. Our privacy was invaded without our consent," Amitabh told IANS.

Karva Chauth was on Friday and Amitabh was discharged from Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai the same day after being treated for six days for an abdominal condition. This was his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai's second Karva Chauth.

"Otherwise, the ladies of the house were happy and content. They involved themselves with all the rituals connected with the occasion and the evening went off delightfully well," he added.

On Aishwarya's first Karva Chauth too secret TV cameras planted behind bushes ruined the solemnity and sanctity of the occasion.

Sanjay Dutt now charges Rs. 15 crore per film, signs 28 movies deal

Sanjay Dutt in MagazineBollywood star Sanjay Dutt is on a signing spree and accepting new projects at a price he never commanded before - a staggering Rs.15 crores/150 million per film.

Even at his new price Sanjay is now booked till the end of 2010 for 28 assignments, so much so that director Rohit Jugraj will be able to start his bio-pic with the actor only in 2011.

The new rate is thanks to good friend and colleague Suniel Shetty, who generously hiked Sanjay’s price when he signed on the actor for a multi-film deal for his production house Popcorn Entertainment.

Dharam Oberoi, CEO of Sanjay Dutt Productions, confirmed it to IANS: “It is true Anna (Suniel) raised Baba’s (Sanjay) price in the market. Before that Baba was being taken for granted price-wise by all and sundry. Anna was adamant about Baba’s price and started a new precedent by paying him far above what Baba got from others.”

He added: “Suniel is one of his dearest friends and responsible for initiating the remuneration that you’ve quoted.”

Having completed “EMI” with Suniel, Sanjay has now signed another big project with his company that will feature the two actors as warring heroes locked in a dramatic conflict. The big-budgeted Sanjay-Suniel action drama is to go on the floors soon, all thanks to Sanjay who magically accommodated the new assignment into his schedule even if it meant working a little harder.

“Anything for Suniel is Baba’s motto,” said Oberoi. “Yes, Baba has accommodated a new assignment with Anna into his schedule at a time when he couldn’t afford to. It means he has to work harder.”

Suniel is co-producing “EMI” with Ekta Kapoor and the film is being directed by debutant Saurav Kabra.

Sanjay recently suffered a leg injury in the gym, but he left for Bangkok to do action scenes for director Anthony D’Souza’s “Blue” against doctors’ orders. He was advised by doctors to let the limb heal itself out.

“Baba can’t afford to delay any project. In fact, he was really concerned when he had to cancel a small portion of the dubbing for Anna’s ‘EMI’ on the day he injured his leg. While he was on the cycle something gave way in his leg and Baba was in acute pain. In his typical way, he tried to brush it off as no big deal. But then the pain got unbearable and it came to a point where he could barely walk.

“With his tight schedule and his typical attitude of bravado, Baba refused to take the injury seriously. But he was forced to undergo tests. It was revealed that there was severe swelling in his leg that would take quite some time to heal.”

Disregarding doctors’ diktats Sanjay zipped off to Bangkok to join the already-waiting cast of “Blue” even if the stunts slowed down the healing process of his legs.

“That’s Baba for you. Even when going underwater was potentially harmful to his already weak lungs he went 40 feet under for ‘Blue’ in the Bahamas. And now he’s doing stunts in Bangkok with his injured leg with Akshay Kumar.”

Fab to Flab, Ayesha Takia to bid goodbye to films


Ayesha Takia has been the sweet innocent girl next door ever since she made her debut almost four years back.

The 'innocent' image has been so dominant that Jag Mohan Mundhra the director of the Indian version of 'The Forty year virgin' where she was supposed be the lead heroine, is panicking after Ayesha revealed that she intends to settle down and not pursue her career further.

First the other simple girl of B-Town Amrita Rao, walked out of his movie and now Ayesha's retirement plans puts him in a tight spot.

He says that innocent girls in B-Town are rare.

Yes, that's very true since everyone wants to be as bold as the Katrinas, the Kanganas, the Priyankas and the Bipashas of B-Town. It's truly easier for women like that out here!

Even the likes of Minissha Lamba, Gul Panag who only did simple girl acts and even Soha Ali Khan have had sexy makeovers after they made not too many gains being simple and sweet.

Now Ayesha's been lately fighting the flab and has appeared in plenty of inane films like 'Salaam-e-Ishq', 'Kya Love Story Hai', 'Fool and Final', 'No Smoking', 'Sunday' and 'De Taali'. But in 'Dor' she exhibited her talent, and if there were more chances like that, Ayesha might have shone brighter as an actress.

Since she has a biggie with Salman Khan in the form of 'Wanted: Dead And Alive' and another Nagesh Kuknoor (who brought out the best in her) film 'Eight by Ten', chances are people might get to see something interesting from this cherubic faced chick again.

And in the world of the not so innocent, the presence of a demure dame is highly required.

Ayesha might just realize that and decide to work post marriage too!

Priyanka has five looks in Fashion

Priyanka Chopra's look in filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar's much-awaited Fashion goes through five subtle but distinct phases, tracing her journey from Chandigarh to a top model in Mumbai.

"We followed the journey of Priyanka's character Meghna Mathur from the time she comes to Mumbai from Chandigarh to become a supermodel in five phases. It's a very natural, subtle progression," said Rita Dhody, who has done the styling for the movie, which is a take on India's fashion fraternity.

"Initially, she is shown as a very hep character with loud colours - everything is matching in her attire from the lipstick to nail polish to even her shoes. It's a very look-at-me look," Rita said, explaining Priyanka's character in Fashion.
"But when the first change occurs, the colour palette begins to change - her make-up becomes light. Then, when she becomes a model and a supermodel, the contrasting change is very visible. When she starts losing it all, she becomes very edgy - everything from the colour palette to the make-up becomes softer to show she doesn't care any more about her looks before her resurrection takes place," the stylist said.

Releasing on Oct 29, Fashion also stars Kangana Ranaut, debutante Mugdha Godse, Arbaaz Khan, Arjan Bajwa and many of the who's who of the fashion industry.

Rita, who runs a company, Ananda, which works on the embroidery silhouettes of international brands like Armani and Chanel, said the actors' look in the film is based on a classic approach on contemporary fashion and not any existing trend.

"It is very contemporary and a very much today's look, but my idea was to streamline and take it to the classic side than making it trend-based," she said.

Rita revealed that the styling for Kangana's character in Fashion would make "audiences feel sorry for her".

"The movie begins with Kangana's look as a supermodel. She is very thin so we gave her short dresses with low necklines that wouldn't look vulgar as we wanted the image to stick to people's mind that she is a supermodel who is very comfortable with her body," she explained.

"We also used Kangana's hair in an exotic manner. We cut it short but kept her mop of curls to make her look more vulnerable when she loses it all. During that phase, she is also shown sporting long t-shirts that would make audiences feel sorry for her," Rita said.

Debutante Mugdha Godse, who plays a failed model, sports a "bindass" look.

"Mughda's look in the film is a fusion of rock and a grunge to give her the survivor look as a B-grade model who would do anything before we clean it up, making her more chic and glamorous. We gave her a little bikini top and a t-shirt slashed up like a choli (blouse). She also sports a pair of chains and ankle boots," she said.

"She's got a very tiny waist so we tried showing it. We gave her really low-waist trousers and a beautiful tattoo on the side of her hipbone. Her hair was cut short and infused with a strong essence of red in it," she added.

This is the first time Rita has done the styling for a film and she admits it wasn't an easy job.

"A lot of detailing went into the film from jewellery, clothes, colour and accessories to nail polish. We had to make sure that everything was in sync with the frame and complemented each other and for that we even worked on the junior artists. We wanted to make it look very authentic and real.

"We didn't try to sensationalise it by making it more bling or costume-based. I had to restrain myself from going overboard as Madhur can't take over the styling and there were huge time and budget constraints," said Rita, who has helped in positioning and building global brands like Dolce & Gabbana (D&G), Chloe, Stella McCartney and Fendi in India.

"We had 11 character-based ramp shows in the film as part of the story line that were very much thought about. There is also a lot of jeans and shirt that have been used in the movie to show the models in real life," she added.

Rita confessed that she is exhausted with her maiden venture and plans to "refresh" herself before signing on another project.

Gangster Abu Salem serves legal notice to Monica Bedi

Extradited gangster and accused in the 1993 bomb blasts case Abu Salem today served a second legal notice to Bollywood actress Monica Bedi, informing her that she was his legally wedded wife and did not have the right to marry any other person.

In the notice, Salem said that both of them were married in a mosque at Los Angeles in America as per Islamic laws and hence she was not entitled to marry any person unless he divorced her.

Monica BediThe don’s notice, however, said she was free to marry anybody but only after he divorced her.

In the earlier legal notice sent to Bedi, the jailed gangster had said though it would leave him heartbroken, he would not deny her a divorce if she so desired.

Salem said he loved her and was deeply hurt and distressed by statements that she never married him. Dignified silence in this private matter would have been most appropriate, the notice said.

He said his anguish and anxiousness were multiplied as he was unable to communicate with Monica since he was in Arthur Road jail since 2005.

According to a hindi movie producer, when Salem was in India a free man, and was extorting money from Bollywood during this period, he did manage to get Monica work. Producers feared for their lives, and most of them were forced to sign Monica at gun point. Now Salem was in jail, but still kept a tab on Monica, which scared the industry, he added.
