Though Vidya has always been the critic's favourite owing to her crisp performances, but she had never been considered as a hot and demanded actress for events and stage shows. However, the actress has suddenly become a much sought after actress by event organisers, who are now offering her Rs 50 to 75 lakh to perform at shows. Vidya is also being asked for performances in award shows. Apart from being approached to perform on the 'Ooh la la' and 'Naaka mukka' tracks, she's also being offered a handsome fee, averaging to about Rs 50 lakh per event.

However, Morani refuses to talk about money being offered to her. Instead, he said, "Vidya is getting good money."

Shahid Kapoor is still clinging to the shock he got when his ambitious love story 'Mausam' bombed at the box office. As such, at present, the actor is not keen on doing any romantic flick.
When Vidhu Vinod Chopra offered his new project, a love triangle 'Chitthiyan', to the actor, he turned down the offer. "I haven`t accepted any new offer except Maneesh Sharma`s. And it would be inappropriate to talk about the films I`ve said no to," said the 30-year-old actor.
After the failure of his 'Mausam' at the box-office, Shahid has become apprehensive about acting in movie based on love and romance and he seems interested in doing some action thrillers. At present, he has signed Anand (`Tanu Weds Manu`) Rai`s `Ranjhana`, which again is a love story.
Meanwhile, you check out Shahid Kapoor looking hot on the covers of 'The Man'.

Players – Movie Review

Posted: 09 Jan 2012 01:27 AM PST



Film: "Players"
Starring: Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bipasha Basu, Bobby Deol, Omi Vaidya, Vinod Khanna, Shikander Kher, Johnny Lever
Directors: Abbas-Mastan
They say birds of the same feather flock together: Charlie Mascarenhas (Abhishek Bachchan) and Riya (Bipasha Basu) are partners in conning and daredevil robbery.
As a last gift, Charlie's friend Raj (Aftab Shivdasani) reveals through a CD the possibility of a heist. "Ten thousand crore rupees worth of gold would be transported from Russia to Romania."
Raj warns Charlie that this heist, an improbable feat, is not a one man job. He would need a team to execute it and the only person who can help him put up the team is ace thief Victor Braganza (Vinod Khanna).
Victor assembles the players – Riya, an expert machinist, Bilal Bashir (Sikander Kher), an explosive expert who likes foreign cars, Ronny (Bobby Deol), a magician, and Sunny Mehra (Omi Vaidya), a make-up artist. Naturally, the captain of this team is Charlie Mascarenhas and their goal – The Gold.
In today's age, with the complexity of the internet, the team lacked a hacker. Victor's daughter Naina (Sonam Kapoor) unsuspectingly offers help by suggesting ace hacker, Spider (Nitin Neil Mukesh), to the team.
In the show of one-upmanship, what follows the heist is a game of con and deceit at every moment of the film. For humour, there is MC (Johnny Lever) and his family.
Sleekly made with fine action, crisp razor sharp edits, speeding cars and exciting photography giving you glimpses of scenic Siberia, Amsterdam and New Zealand, the film reminds you of a Bond film.
The leggy babes with leotard and boots, the guys with stubble and leather jackets, the palatial villas, the elongated limousines, the long car chases, the heist on the train – everything looks glossy and out of this world.
The racy background score by Sandeep Shirodkar and the soundtrack by Pritam creates the adrenaline required for a thriller but unfortunately the well-intended choreographed numbers breaks the momentum.
Ravi Yadav's cinematography and Husain Burmawala's editing are worth a mention. Technically, Abbas Mastan have churned out a very fine movie.
Unfortunately, the film delivers without any emotions. It is evident that the actors have not put their soul to the characters; they have just walked through their roles. And it shows. The glycerine and the pancake take the applause.
Sikander Kher seems to have some promise. In certain scenes, Sonam reminds of Simi Garewal. Vinod Khanna, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Abhishek's performances lack energy. Omi and Johnny Lever are stereotyped with their comic dialogue delivery. Bipasha has nothing new to offer and Bobby Deol is wasted in the minuscule role.
Touted as the desi version of Hollywood film "The Italian Job", the script sticks to the basic plot but is unable to get into the recesses of its characters.
"Players" is a synthetically made formula thriller. It does not touch you emotionally. But a good watch nonetheless. – IANS

Sonu Sood back in ‘Dabangg 2′?

Posted: 09 Jan 2012 01:21 AM PST


Sonu Sood might return to "Dabangg 2″. If sources are to be believed, the actor has been asked by Salman Khan to feature in the sequel of their 2010 blockbuster.
In October last year, producer Arbaaz Khan announced that the sequel's script didn't allow him to cast Sonu in the role of villain Chhedi Singh once again. However, latest developments indicate Sonu will feature in the sequel.Edit HTML
On an earlier suggestion made by Salman, Sonu was supposed to play his character Chhedi Singh's twin brother in " Dabangg 2″. But then the "Dabangg 2″ script brought in another arch-villain, to be played by southern star Prakash Raj.
That's when Sonu decided to gently get out of the way.
But now Salman wants him back. According to sources, Salman feels Sonu Sood is integral to the "Dabangg" franchise. When Salman heard that Arbaaz had decided to write Sonu's role out of "Dabangg 2″, he wasn't too pleased.
And as other components of "Dabangg 2″ began to fall into place, Salman felt the need for Sonu's presence.
"Salman asked Sonu to return to 'Dabangg' at his birthday bash in Panvel last week. This happened in front of Arbaaz, Sohail and a whole lot of other people. Sonu was embarrased. He didn't know what to say because this was not the first time Salman had asked him," said one of Sonu's friend.
"Earlier in Hyderabad, Salman had broached the subject, saying 'Dabangg' wouldn't be the same if the two of them – Salman and Sonu – didn't share a climax fight. Sonu loves Salman to death. But at this juncture of his career, Sonu isn't sure when he has a solo-hero film 'Maximum' ready for release, he wants to do a marginal part. However, for Salman, Sonu would agree to return to 'Dabangg'," added the friend.
"Dabangg 2″ will release in December 2012. – IANS

Posted: 08 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST


vidya balan

Actress Vidya Balan says that she believes in the institution of marriage and cannot avoid it for long, but she is not thinking about it right now.

"My career is going good. I am very happy. Emotionally and mentally I am in a very happy space, by god's grace. I am not thinking about marriage as of now, but I'm sure a right time will come for it also. I believe in the institution of marriage. I will not ignore it for a longer duration, but yeah, for now, I am keeping it aside. I will definitely get married," said Vidya.

The actress is said to be dating CEO of UTV movies Siddharth Roy Kapoor.

After the super success of her "Dirty Picture", Vidya is promoting her forthcoming film "Kahaani", directed by Sujoy Ghosh. She will also be seen in Nikhil Advani's "Chand Bhai" opposite Akshaye Khanna.

Vidya admits it's the greed for good roles that keeps her on her toes.

"I am a very greedy actor. I want to play different people, I want to do different kinds of films. Even if it means that the hero is the protagonist, as long as I have enough to do in the film I am more than happy doing it," the 33-year-old actress said during the launch of the first look of her new film "Kahaani".

"I am very happy with the kind of films being made today and that I am getting a chance to work in them. They are appealing to the audience as well, which is most important. Women-oriented films are being made since years, but it is only today that they are tasting success," Vidya added while sporting a fake baby bump during the launch.

She is not restricting herself to women-oriented films, says the actress who has done films like "Parineeta", "Ishqiya" and "Paa".

"I have not made any boundaries or limitations for myself. I have not dictated myself that if the script is women oriented only then I will work in it or anything. If the film is good, if the role is good I will definitely do it," she said. – IANS

Raveena Tandon, who started her career with "Patthar Ke Phool", says the current lot of actresses are under a lot of pressure to look slim and in the process, are compromising on their health as a result unable to withstand the rigors of the job.

"After coming to this industry, we actresses face so much pressure to look thin all the time. We are working at erratic hours…we also go through such strict diet plans, it is important to have a strong base," she said.

"These days we get to hear news of actresses fainting due to dieting or working non-stop for 24 hours or for 36 hours. But touchwood, I have never fainted in my life till now," the 37-year-old actress added at an event to announce her as the brand ambassador of Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil.

Raveena feels actresses of her generation were a lot healthier as compared to the current crop.

"I did 'Patthar Ke Phool' when I was 16 and from that day onwards I have been shooting. That time people were not conscious about their looks to such an extent. We were very healthy back then. Me, Kajol, Manisha (Koirala) — when we had come, we were strong, we looked like we belonged to healthy families," said the actress last seen in "Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap".

Raveena had taken a sabbatical after her marriage to Anil Thadani in 2004 and made a comeback last year with "Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap". Now she has signed a couple of projects and is currently shooting for "Gin Liya Aasmaan".

She will also be seen in "E-dil Sambhal Zara" and "Shovna Seven Nights". – IANS

Shakti Kapoor's "Bigg Boss 5″ journey will almost come full circle when he will take to the stage with female participants, with whom he entered the reality show back in October.
Shakti had shocked one and all when he became the only male contestant to enter the show with 12 females and one transgender, last year.
According to media reports, Shakti has been asked to stay away from the grand finale in Karjat Saturday following his remarks on the show's host, Salman Khan.
But if a source from channel Colors is to be believed, the comedy actor will dance on the song "Yamma yamma" with this season's former female participants like Mandeep Bevli and Raageshwari Loomba.
Post his eviction from "Bigg Boss 5″, Shakti is known to have passed negative comments about Salman, and felt the latter treated him with disrespect. He is also said to have demanded an apology for a statement recently, and hence rumours that Shakti will not be seen at the finale, are doing the rounds.
Actress Pooja Bedi also stated that channel Colors has asked her to stay away from the finale. She has demanded a solid reason from the channel for taking the last minute decision.
According to a tabloid, even Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan's plans of promoting Karan Johar's forthcoming film "Agneepath", were scrapped. So now, Imran Khan and Karan Johar will attend the finale to promote "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu".
Among the final contestants on "Bigg Boss 5″ are Juhi Parmar, Amar Upadhyay, Mahek Chahal, Siddharth Bharadwaj and Akashdeep Saigal aka Sky. – IANS
