John will make it a memorable wedding

Post under Bollywood News

It's felt by most members of Nagesh Kukunoor's Aashayein that this film would be John's turning point as an actor.

No stone is being left unturned to make sure John appears in the best light possible in this make-or-break film.

In this context it has now been decided to move the prestigious Aashayein forward by a couple of weeks, possibly to July 4 which is the date for Harman Baweja and Imran Khan's debut films.

Says a source, "Aashayein is crucial for both John and his director Nagesh Kukunoor. Both were banking heavily on their last projects. John on No Smoking which turned out to be a no-show and Nagesh on Bombay To Bangkok which was a fiasco. Both the actor and director feel Aashayein would be a new beginning for them."

But for John family always comes first. And now that his brother's wedding is days away he finds a lot of the attention that he would have ideally given to Aashayein is now being taken up by the wedding in the family.

Says a source, "Since Allan's wife is Romanian the wedding is in Romania. The arrangements therefore become doubly difficult. John's parents are too old and frail to manage the nitty-gritty.

Even Bipasha is shooting in Bangkok. That leaves John to supervise all the wedding plans. And Allan is his only brother. John wants to make it a memorable wedding."

It was therefore felt in the best interests of the film that the original release date June 20, be postponed by at least a couple of weeks.

Nagesh Kukunoor's associate and co-producer Elahi Hiptoola confirms these developments. "Yes, we did feel that we needed a couple of weeks extra, what with John's brother's marriage.

So yes we're moving to July, probably the first week. Aashayein is a film that needs careful nurturing. We don't mind waiting a bit. But we don't want the release to go wrong."

Interestingly John has no love interest in Aashayein. There's a new girl Sonal Saigal to begin with. But the female lead is played by Anaitha Nair one of the Chak De India girls. John and she share an unusual equation, quite like Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Sarkar Raj.

Shilpa Shetty's turn to deliver a slap

Post under Bollywood News

For a certain scene in Sunny Deol-directed 'The Man', Shilpa Shetty had to slap her co-star Sudhanshu Pandey. And if the latter is to be believed, the actress was very reluctant to do so.

'It was an emotional scene where I was supposed to console her and she was required to slap me in a fit of rage. But Shilpa was so reluctant and scared. She had to be literally convinced to slap me to get the shot right,' Sudhanshu, a singer, model and actor, told.

Sudhanshu said that he had to ultimately hold her hand and make her slap him to be more comfortable with the shot. 'It was funny as she still couldn't do it. But since she had no option, she did it very lightly,' he quipped.

The actor, who featured in Sanjay Gupta's film 'Dus Kahaniyaan', was in the capital to attend the launch of an All Sports Bar.

Year 2008 has proved to be lucky for Sudhanshu, who became a father for the second time earlier this month and also has some big banner films lined up for release.

Talking about his forthcoming projects, Sudhanshu said: ''Alibaug', 'The Man' and 'Singh is King' are in the pipeline and I am really excited.'

Sudhanshu, a former member of the music group Band of Boys, has sung in Sanjay Gupta's 'Alibaug', where he plays a business tycoon.

'Yes, I have sung in 'Alibaug'. It was Sanjay (Gupta) who dragged me into it and the experience was fantastic,' he said, making it clear that he would never get associated with a music band, however.

The actor, who calls himself a 'simple, focussed and a family man', is looking for a name for his newborn son. 'It has become difficult to decide on a good name.'

Bollywood stars stub out the cancer stick

Post under Bollywood News

The Phoonk De habit is passé with many Bollywood stars who have begun to put their health before their nicotine addiction.

We don’t know how much of it actually is the Ramadoss effect, but the fact is that actors and directors from Bollywood have genuinely begun to say no to smoking.

The first one to kick the cancer stick was Saif Ali Khan , who did not quit smoking so much out of will as out of sheer compulsion of maintaining his health after a minor heart attack last year. Saif was hospitalized for a few days and vowed never to touch cigarettes again. However, of late, he has forgotten his vow and has begun lighting up on rare occasions.

Aamir Khan , who has struggled with his nicotine addiction for years, shocked many of his fans late last year when he disclosed on his blog that he had resumed smoking heavily after a long hiatus due to nervousness before the release of Taare Zameen Par . Aamir also made a New Year resolution to kick the habit from Jan 1, 2008. However, he failed to do so, but finally managed to live up to his promise after a few weeks. Since then, the actor is not learnt to have resumed smoking.

Ajay Devgan has been a heavy smoker for many years and he never even pretended to quit cigarettes. So heavily was the actor into addiction that it had actually begun to make his body and face look frail. Ajay’s body gave him an alarming jolt a few weeks back when he fell ill and finally decided to mend his ways and kick the butt. The actor is now looking forward to recovering his health.

With the current media's hullabaloo that actress Celina Jaitley is no more interested in capitalizing her sexy image, the Bollywood bikini babe came out with her very important clarification in a recent interview with us.
It's true that Celina will be dancing a classical number in her forthcoming Dubai show scheduled for first week of April, she also doesn't deny that the dance numbers she will perform in the show has been taken from the film 'Pakeezah' and 'Devdas' and she wants to tribute her performance to the great actresses Meena Kumari and Madhuri Dixit. "But that doesn't mean, I am going to shed my sexy image. Does the gal, who dances classical number, lacks sex appeal," quipped Celina.
However Celina, who got a chance to do a classical number for the first time in her career, is looking forward to the show. Why not, Celina has been trained in Indian classical dance,

so she will try her best to prove her capability is quite natural.

Why does star Priyanka Chopra's "futuristic makeover" involve looking like an early 80s diva, crossed with Cruella De Vil? But there are tight black leather pants involved as well, so it's a future we can live with. Below the fold, a dozen new stills and a clip of Priyanka's costar Harman Bajewa dancing with robots.

The new stills and wallpapers, mostly come from the movie's new website, which director Harry Bajewa (Harman's dad) says is the most futuristic website they could make. (It has Java!) And here's that awesome dancing clip. I'm still beyond excited for this movie.
