She donned trendy mini skirts and a bikini in "Dostana" and was an absolute stunner on the ramp in "Fashion", but Priyanka Chopra is going the de-glam way for Vishal Bharadwaj's "Kaminay". |
She's been catapulted straight to Hollywood. Freida Pinto, the poised, smiling beauty that Oscar winner "Slumdog Millionaire" has thrown up on the global stage, has done what few Indian actors have managed to do before her. |
Ajay Devgan has been in the news of late thanks to his upcoming films Rajneeti and newly announced All The Best. However, this time he isn't making the headlines for any of his films. Instead it is the actor's imported bike that has drawn not just ours but also the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence's attention towards the star.
In a massive sweep to check the duty evasion that is rampant on imported superbikes, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence cracked down on the owners of such bikes who have evaded the payment of duty by importing the bikes as parts. This evasion is blatantly visible as the bikes in question are clearly visible on the streets, but the reports fail to show any mention about them.
Devgan's bike isn't the only set of wheels connected to the world of glitz. Also under the scanner is the bike of filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, though the filmmaker says that his papers were clear and that his mobike hadn't been seized. As for Devgan, reportedly, he has offered to pay the amount that is due.
Sonam Kapoor has had two releases uptil now and the girl has appeared as the coy girl-next-door in both her flicks. Now, it is time for an image makeover for this newcomer. But since no film maker has approached the Kapoor girl with a glam role, Sonam has turned to her Papa dear Anil Kapoor to get her wish fulfilled.
So now we have Anil Kapoor to produce a movie titled ‘Ayesha’ based on the the famous novel “Emma” written by Jane Austen. Sonam, of course, will be playing the lead role of Emma (Ayesha here) who is rich, easy going and flamboyant. Abhay Deol has been reportedly roped in for the project and a new actor named Arunodoy Singh is to play another male lead role.
While Abhay will be seen as a man who clandestinely loves and cares for the heroine, Arunodoy will give life to a role of a playful young man for whom the leading lady has a soft corner. V.J Cyrus Sahukar will be come across as a man who wishes to marry Ayesha. The task of editing the novel has been trusted upon Devika Bhagat, the writer of ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’.
Though both her previous films bombed at the box office, Sonam Kapoor has stolen everyone’s heart with her beauty and freshness. Lets see how much appreciation she gets in a glamorous role.
The tinsel town cannot stop raving about Freida Pinto as present and as the lady still basks in the glory of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ success, there could be no other time more apt for her to make her presence felt through media and print magazines.
So, this March, we will have Freida as the reigning cover girl of almost all the leading magazines. After ‘Vogue’ and ‘Cosmopolitan’, Freida will also be seen as the cover girl of Maxim India March 2009. She has already swept everyone off their feet with her witty answers at ‘The Tonight Show’ hosted by Jay Leno, her flawless sense of style, her portraits in Vanity Fair, and irresistible movie offers from Woody Allen.
The Maxim cover has Freida with a naughty playful look wearing an oversized sweater and six-inch black heels. On the covers of ‘Vogue’ Freida portrays a different style and look with elegant attire, immaculate tresses, dripping jewelery, blood red lipstick and an evocative gaze. That’s what we call versatility!
They have earned all at such a tender age after the huge success of “SlumDog Millionaire”, homes, stipends, benefits for their families and a trip to the U.S. The little stars from the slums of the Mumbai now are coming to the real term after receiving 8 Oscars and Best Director and Best Picture award for them.
Stars from the movie Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and Ayush Mahesh Khedekar who played young Salim and Jamal in the film was some how happy as well as nervous after receiving the warm welcome and crowd of paparazzi at the airport. Azharuddin was anyway expecting to face bombardment of scribes in India. However, Ayush seemed well customizing to the trend and have a smile on his face, despite being crowded. Anyway, whatever was the pervious status of these kids or present frame of mind they have brought Oscars.
No doubt, success and one big like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ is obvious to be stressed out all involved in the project including innocent kids from the slums of Mumbai, who played an outstanding role in the success of the movie as being a very integral part of the storyline of the movie.
However, cost of this huge success and fame was paid by 10 year old actor from the movie, Azharuddin Mohammed who was slapped and kicked by his father, Ismail when the over stressed and tired kid refused to attended byte and news hungry reporters standing outside his home. This shocked all the persons presented at the spot.
Though Ismail repented later on he said, “I was very sorry that I did what I did,” said Ismail. “I was so confused and stressed by my son’s homecoming that I did not know myself for a minute. I love my boy and I am very happy to have him home.” Whatever may be the cause behind for the outburst reflected by Ismail, no one can deny that success and fame do contribute in making on insensitive towards basic human values.
Just months ago she was a virtual nobody, but with the eight Oscar sweep by her debut film "Slumdog Millionaire", Indian model-turned-actress Freida Pinto is now hot property for magazine covers. |
