Sonakshi Sinha to sizzle in ‘Chikni Kamar’

Posted: 20 Apr 2012 11:31 AM PDT


sonakshi chikni kamar
Ever since 'Munni Badnaam Hui' stole the limelight from Sonakshi Sinha's debut vehicle 'Dabangg', the girl has been clearly stating her wishes to do a sizzling item number. Finally, her wish is being granted as she is doing an item number in Akshay Kumar's forthcoming 'Rowdy Rathore' and guess what! The song has been titled 'Chikni Kamar'.
As the name suggests the song follows the essence of Katrina Kaif's item number Chikni Chameli and as Sonakshi calls it, the number is a "a complete masaledaar song".
Sonakshi's moves for the song will be choreographed by Vishnu. However, unlike Katrina Kaif, who shed kilos to get in shape for 'Sheila Ki Jawani' Sonakshi has not been asked to lose weight. "Prabhu Deva and everyone else I'm working with like me the way I am.." claims Sonakshi.
The song will also feature Akshay Kumar and will be soon shot in Hampi.

She has also started the shoot for the commercial at Brabourne studio in Mumbai.
With this, Kareena Kapoor has about 16 brand endorsements to her credit. 2011 was a big year for the actress with quite a few hits. Her latest 'Agent Vinod' was a success at the box office and she also signed Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Heroine' for a big amount of Rs. 8 crore which is the highest sum ever paid to an actress in our industry.
Kareena was also spotted shooting for her very first commercial with the brand a few days ago at Brabourne studio in Mumbai. Adds the source, "Both Katrina and Asin who endorse soft drinks have had ads that have gained a lot of popularity.

Rajnikanth promises to make good the loss on Dhanush’s ’3′

Posted: 19 Apr 2012 11:02 AM PDT


Dhanush 3 movie
When Dhanush's 'Kolaveri D' became a huge rage across the country, little did people know that the film '3' would bomb at the box office. Owing to the success of the song, Andhra based distributor Natty Kumar invested about Rs 6 crore on the dubbed Telugu version and apparently was aghast when the film failed.
A devastated Natty was quoted saying, "I secured the distribution rights of the Telugu version of 3 for a whopping sum of Rs 4.3 crores, though I was aware that Dhanush's market in Andhra Pradesh wasn't more than Rs 10 lakhs. Even my friends criticised me for risking such a huge sum on the film.
I did so as I had huge faith in the family members of superstar Rajnikanth. I felt Aishwaryaa's debut directorial venture would do well in Andhra Pradesh."
Natty's blame game did not end here. He went on to blame Dhanush, Aishwarya and Shruti Hassan saying, "Dhanush and Aishwaryaa didn't keep their promise to visit Hyderabad on April 1 for promotions.
Besides, they didn't attend the film's premiere show, which disappointed me even more. I have incurred huge losses because of the film's poor showing."
Not to mention here that Rajnikanth is upset with these remarks and has offered to make good the loss of Natty. He has even promised to get his daughter and son-in-law out of this major financial mess. Prior to this, Rajni Sir had compensated distributors who faced losses on his film Kuselan.

Given the fact that it is a Mahesh Bhatt film and stars our serial kisser Emraan Hashmi along with kingfisher's sexy Esha Gupta, it is but obvious that 'Jannat 2' would be raising the standards of hotness and boldness in Bollywood. The leaked video of 'Tujhe Sochta Hoon' from the flick is doing rounds on the net and shows a passionate lovemaking scene between Emraan and Esha who play husband and wife in the movie. There is also a passionate lip lock between the two. Confirming her bold scenes in the film Esha says, "Yes, there are a few kissing scenes in "Jannat 2″, but we have shown love between husband and wife, it's not like some wild animals making out." Well, Esha has shown that she has no qualms about shedding clothes and doing bold scenes. No wonder Bhatts seem to be so impressed by her. Gupta has bagged a three-film contract with the Bhatts. After Jannat 2 she will be seen in Raaz 3.

Emraan Hashmi as a rustic pan chewing reporter in ‘Shanghai’

Posted: 14 Apr 2012 10:38 AM PDT


Shanghai emraan
There is no denying the fact that Emraan Hashmi has given many successful films at the box office. His last release 'Murder 2' was a big Bollywood hit and the first look and trailer of his forthcoming 'Shanghai' looks quite promising. Emraan plays a foul-mouthed reporter in this Dibakar Banerjee's flick and for this, he had to chew tobacco.
On the first day of the shoot, Emraan Hashmi was asked to chew tobacco for a scene and Emraan found the taste so disgusting that he almost threw up and felt giddy.
The director insisted that since his role required him to do it, there was no other way out. After a lot of discussions, Banerjee and Emraan Hashmi came to the conclusion that the actor should chew tobacco.
However, Emraan failed to appear for a promotional event with his co-star since he was busy with his shoot for 'Jannat 2'.
A disappointed Banerjee said, "I was heartbroken that we were not able to kick off the promotions with a trailer launch. We went through a lot trying to coordinate Emraan and Abhay's dates and then change it all over again." Shanghai is Banerjee's release after two years, since his last film LSD: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha. The movie stars Abhay Deol, Emraan Hashmi and Kalki Koechlin.
The first trailer of the flick shows Emraan as a rustic, paan-chewing village thug and he made his way into cine lovers hearts when he gave a scornful smile, his paan-stained teeth flashing on the screen.

SRK in legal soup for smoking during IPL

Posted: 14 Apr 2012 10:36 AM PDT


shahrukh khan smoking
Many a times in the past, Bollywood Baadshah Shahrukh Khan has landed into trouble for smoking in the public which is banned in quite a few cities across India. Once again, SRK has landed in a legal soup by smoking at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur during an IPL match between his team Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. To add to the damages, the footage was broadcasted live on the TV.
Anand Singh Rathore, the director of Jaipur Cricket Academy, has lodged a legal suit against Shahrukh Khan. Rathore also wants an enquiry over why Shahrukh was allowed to carry cigarettes inside the stadium when the security doesn't allow cigarettes, match-boxes, lighters and even water bottles inside the stadium.
The additional chief judicial magistrate's court has fixed April 12 as the date for next hearing.
It may be mentioned here that in 2008, the then health minister Ambumani Ramadoss had a public tiff related to Shahrukh smoking on-screen in the remake of Don.
SRK himself is aware of his addiction and had once said, "I know this (smoking) is a bad thing but the habit doesn't leave me. I am trying hard. Even if someone says it to me or not, I know about the ill-effects of smoking. I will try it and give it up on my own. I know it is not a good thing."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan hinting at her comeback?

Posted: 14 Apr 2012 10:29 AM PDT


ash comeback
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is still basking in the glory of motherhood or so it seems from her lack of interest to lose those extra chubby fats. Her husband Abhishek Bachchan's comment sometime back that Ash was pretty happy playing a mom supported the guesses that she was not too keen to return to her career.
However, recent moves by Aishwarya suggest a turn of things. Not only did she attend an event in Dubai as a brand ambassador of the luxury watch brand Longines, she will also attend the Cannes Festival this year as a brand ambassador of the cosmetic giant L'Oreal. On the advertisement front, the beauty is eyeing on endorsement deal with an Indian jewellery brand for a staggering amount of Rs.10 crore. Rumors have it that she will be seen with her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan in these jewellery advertisements.
On her returning to the silver screen, husband Abhishek Bachchan says, "As and when she wants to come back, is completely her decision. As and when she decides, when she sees a script she is inspired by – the decision is entirely hers."
