Case against John's film

If he is not showing his butt then that ain't hot, at least that what it seems.

The release of John Abraham's movie “Aashayein”, a serious film in contrast to his body show “Dostana”, is facing further delay after a legal fight has erupted between its producers and distributor.

Reliance's Big Pictures, that was all set to distribute “Aashayein”, has filed a case against the film's producers Percept Picture Company and T-Series because they felt the film has not measured up to their expectations.

The case has been filed in the Delhi High Court.

Percept Picture Company and T-Series are now in a fix because they can't release the film until the case is resolved.

The movie, directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, was ready sometime back and has been getting delayed for some reason or the other.

“Aashayein” is the story of a compulsive gambler who one day learns that he has only 90 days to live. Wanting to make the most of his last days, he leaves everything behind and moves into a soothing hospice. The inmates he meets change his outlook on life. As his relationships grow with each one of them, he tries to rise above his own needs and live life to the fullest, learning from the courage of those around him.

Mughda Godse has refused Jag Mundra's suspense thriller “Roommates” as she was not being paid the price she wants.

The model-turned-actress was approached to play one of the two protagonists in the film but she refused, as price was an issue with her.

After being widely praised for her acting in he debut film, “Fashion”, Mughda feels she is asking for a price she deserves and Jag Mundra is not willing to pay that kind of price for the film.

Mundra has other options. He has short -listed four ladies - Neha Dhupia, Raima Sen, Neetu Chandra and Sonal Chauhan - out of which he will select the two leads.

Also post the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, Pakistani actor Mikaal Zulfikar, has been thrown out of “Roommates”. It seems no Pakistani actors will be allowed in Bollywood anymore.

With his cast undecided, Mundra is definitely stuck just a month prior to “Roommates” going on the floors.

Shah Rukh to attend Golden Globe Awards

He will be first Indian to present an award at the event

SRK has been sent an invitation by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to attend the Golden Globe Awards and also present an award at the ceremony, to be held at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on January 11.

SRK will be the first Indian ever to present an award at the prestigious Golden Globe Awards.

Shah Rukh is currently in Los Angeles shooting for Karan Johar's “My Name is Khan”. Incidentally, he also has time to spare on January 11, so we are likely to see him at the event.

“The organisers want me to present a film in the Drama category, walk the red carpet, give interviews,” Shah Rukh has said.

Also present at the event will be A.R. Rahman, who has been nominated in the Best Musical Score category for the soundtrack of the film “Slumdog Millionaire”.

So Shah Rukh has one more good reason to attend. “Rahman is nominated for Slumdog. It will be nice to see him win,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly, former Indian cricket captain, is all set to make his small screen debut.
He will be a judge on SRK's new reality show “Knights and Angels”, which is a talent hunt for cheerleaders.

The winner of the show will head the cheerleaders of Shah Rukh Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders team in the IPL.

Emraan, Kangna, Adhyayan together for an electrifying music video

Trust Bhatts to not just keep churning hit music but also attach innovative music videos to some of their best tracks. In case of RAAZ - THE MYSTERY CONTINUES, they have done it twice in a matter of just around 10 days with first 'Maahi Ve' and now 'O Jaana'. While the original version of 'Maahi Ve' was the first to hit the screens a few weeks back, its video starring Emraan Hashmi in center stage came very recently. Hardly has the euphoria on the rock version of 'Maahi Ve' settled down and Bhatts are ready to unveil another music video for 'O Jaana'.

This writer had an exclusive dekko at the song and it has to be admitted that music video for the remix version of 'O Jaana' is the classiest ever to have been churned out of Vishesh Films. The track has a New Age look and feel to it with the principal cast of the film - Emraan Hashmi, Kangna Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman - being a part of it. Also, while Emraan Hashmi (obviously) holds the center stage, Adhyayan and Kangna aren't left behind either and have a definite role to play in the video.



Emraan Hashmi does what he is best at and has been doing forever in each of his chartbuster songs for years while Adhyayan Suman too looks far more confident in his entire cool avtar. However, the stunner of the show is Kangna Ranaut who gets to lip synch the English portion of the song and looks like a true import from the West, what with her costumes, make up and the body language showcasing a different facet of her persona. In fact the next time she mentions that she is just a small town girl from the North side of the country, she would certainly be questioned by many since she hardly looks like an Indian in the first place in the song.

With electrifying laser work, special effects and CG on display, the music video is the kind that should play on in up-market discs and pubs due to the immense dance appeal that it carries. Moreover, the cutting edge edit patter in 'O Jaana' makes it a track that you want to revisit multiple number of times. Have a look!

Amul spreads over Aamir 'Ghajini' Khan

With the dawn of a very happy and a cheerful New Year 2009, one is left with only memories of the year gone by. As one may remember, 2008 happened to be one of the 'impactful' years for Bollywood. Because, besides many other things, it also saw the transformation of the chocolate hero Aamir into a muscular 'dude with an attitude' in the smash hit film Ghajini.

It really becomes needless to say that the Ghajini mania is spreading far and wide, faster than Shoaib Akhtar's yorkers! And for those who thought that it was only the media that worked faster than the speed of light, then, you better think again, because we discovered that there's someone (besides the media, of course) who work even faster than the proverbial speed. And that's none other than the super brilliant guys at Amul, who wasted no time in bringing out their latest ad campaign (as they always do), that has Aamir Khan's cartoon in his 8-packs with scribbling (read 'reminders') on his hands and body which read as 'I slice bread'', ' I make sandwich', while his chest reads 'Get Amul'.

We must say that it is indeed an interesting ad. But the guys at Amul should also remember that one may forget to breathe for a moment, but how can one forget Amul, all thanks to the timely and topical hammerings...we mean…spreadings! Kudos Amul, for 'buttering' us all over again!
