Saif Ali Khan to essay the role of Jawaharlal Nehru

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 09:55 AM PDT


Saif Ali Khan is riding high on his professional front. His forthcoming 'Cocktail' is yet to hit the screens but has already impressed the critics with its trailers. And now, Saif is all set to play the role of Jawaharlal Nehru in Britain-based Indian filmmaker, Gurinder Chadha's partition film. Actor Naseeruddin Shah has been approached to play the role of Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Shah has already given a nod for the role.
"It is a huge canvas requiring tonnes and tonnes of research and scores of characters. I've spoken to some people including Naseer and Saif. Nehru's role is a cameo, so I wonder if Saif would be willing to do it," Gurinder said on phone from London.
The film will be shot in Delhi and Jodhpur. "I've already acquired the necessary permission to shoot everywhere in India including Rashtrapati Bhavan. So I am all set. I don't have to shoot in Pakistan at all. This would be my ultimate dream project and I can't wait for it to take off," said Gurinder adding, "This is my biggest challenge to date. I've been working on my partition film for some time now. The central character is Lord Mountbatten. The movie is set in January 1947 when Mountbatten was asked to oversee India and the movie ends in August 1947, so it's a brief time span".
The film will go on floor this October.

At this time I'm just focussed on my Miss World title and I hope I win millions of heart with the win."
"I am all set for D-day. The preparation is going in full swing. You are groomed from head to toe to compete with other representatives from different countries. I'm definitely going to put my best foot forward," she said.
Vanya says that the grooming sessions were really tough for her as she had to manage with her engineering studies as well. "Well, definitely it's difficult for a girl of my age to get into the mode of 13 days of strenuous grooming session. I am an engineering student, I can easily bunk my classes, but I was not allowed to bunk grooming sessions. It was difficult, but I am satisfied with the outcome. It helped in exploring hidden beauty," she said.
As for her plans to enter Bollywood, Vanya says that she has other things to focus on at present. "I love glamour, but I haven't given thought to entering Bollywood as of now. I was just the student and then I became Miss India, so it's too early for me to plan future. I just expect and hope to win the international crown. My main focus is international pageant," she said.

Fake stories of Big B's death doing rounds of net

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 10:52 AM PDT



A blog reported that Amitabh Bachchan died in a road accident. However the story of his accidental death is a planned and planted affair.

Just last week rumours were doing rounds of the internet and social media that superstar Rajesh Khanna is no more. Earlier this year there was a similar hullabaloo on the social media circuit about the demise of Lata Mangeshkar. And now the internet has found a new victim.

A blog reported the death of Bollywood's biggest star Amitabh Bachchan some time back. However like in earlier cases, even this was a false alarm. What's surprising is that it wasn't a small tweet or post that led to the start of this rumour. The blog was descriptive enough about the fictional death and went on to give details about the death claiming that it was a road accident on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell. It was a case of instant death and the site even went ahead to post a picture of an upturned car.

The blog didn't stop at that but went on to add details about the funeral being a closed casket one because of the severity of the injury to Big B. Expectedly the news caught like fire on the social media and everyone was talking about the accidental death of Amitabh Bachchan (which actually was a planned and planted story).

Meanwhile Amitabh Bachchan is hale and hearty and has been tweeting often though he hasn't commented about this death story yet.

Esha Deol’s sangeet a private affair: Hema Malini

Posted: 26 Jun 2012 09:19 AM PDT



Esha Deol's sangeet ceremony, her first pre-wedding celebration function Monday, will be a private affair, says her mother, veteran actress Hema Malini, who will be seen at the function in designer wear.
"Today is Esha's sangeet ceremony, which will be held in a hotel. I don't want to say where it is happening. It is a very private affair with close friends and family. The programme will begin at 8.30 p.m.," Hema told IANS.
Esha is set to tie the knot with her beau Bharat Takhtani Friday.
Asked whether the danseuse will perform at the sangeet, she said: "I will not be performing tonight. Esha's friends and Bharat will be performing tonight."
Hema, who will drape a traditional kanjeevaram sari for the D-day, will wear a Neeta Lulla creation for the sangeet.
"Kanjeevarams are booked only for the wedding. I am wearing a sari tonight for the function. My designer has been Neeta Lulla so far. She is my main designer, but one of my outfits is also designed by Bhumika (of Shyamal and Bhumika)," she said.
Lulla, who styled Esha's bridal look in "Na Tum Jaano Na Hum", has also worked on her real life wedding attire.
"For Esha, costumes have been designed by Neeta Lulla and Rocky S. Neeta has designed for Esha's wedding and mehendi, while Rocky has designed for her sangeet," Hema said.
The sangeet ceremony will be followed by mehendi day Wednesday, and a traditional temple wedding Friday. – IANS

Salman can do action, say family and friends

Posted: 25 Jun 2012 10:01 AM PDT


 
The recent reports claiming that Salman Khan has been told to stay off even the mildest action sequences due to his neurological condition has taken the industry by surprise.

"It is strange that all his films currently being shot are action-oriented be it Dabangg 2 or Ek Tha Tiger. Even the one I am writing Sher Khan has lot of action," says writer Rumi Jaffrey who has written about a dozen films of Salman Khan in the past that include Judwaa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya among others. "If it was that serious then Salman would have himself opted for romantic and comedy films instead of hardcore action ones. He would have chosen another story," adds Rumi.
Quoting a "close friend" of the actor, the report says that even a slight misjudged punch on his face could trigger off his condition and cause acute pain, and that the collective decision has been taken by the family members and filmmakers to keep him "out of danger as much as possible". Totally rubbishing the report and further clarifying on this, Salman's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri (producer of Bodyguard) reacts, "The report is baseless. Salman is currently shooting action sequence for Dabangg 2 at Mehboob Studio."
However, Salman is someone who is known for taking risks, say the industry sources. "People as well as we friends keep advising him so many things, 'don't do this, don't do that' but Salman doesn't listen. That is his nature," says the writer while narrating an incident during the making of Tumko Na Bhool Payenge about a decade ago. "Even as we were telling him to not to jump from terrace of Hotel Centaur to the ground and let the body double do so, he took the leap himself," says the writer.

I want to inspire women, says Mona Singh

Posted: 25 Jun 2012 09:56 AM PDT



Actor Mona Singh won hearts as an ugly, yet confident duckling in "Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi", and now as a strong woman who battles her husband's infidelity in "Kya Huaa Tera Vaada", she wants to inspire women across the country.
"As an actor, I am here to inspire women in whatever way I can," Mona told IANS.
"There are many women who aren't treated well, whose husbands have extra-marital affairs and yet there are women who accept them back. But here I want to tell them to stand up for themselves and not be dependent on their husband for every decision and for money," she added.
In the show, the actress plays Mona, a happily married woman with three kids. Their family life is perfect until her husband goes back to his college sweetheart.
The current track of the Sony show features Mona who steps out of her life as a homemaker to make a mark for herself and be financially independent for the sake of her kids.
"A women has to be independent, she has to be working. She has to go out and meet new people," says the 31-year-old.
While Mona's husband is essayed by actor Pawan Shankar, actress Mouli Ganguly plays his love interest.
The show's track has been compared with that of David Dhawan's 1999 hit film "Biwi No.1″. But Mona says it isn't completely so.
"To a certain extent I agree, because the man did have an extra-marital affair and there was infidelity, but that was a three-hour movie. However, this is a serial and it will last for one year or two years at least, so it cannot be based on a movie," Mona said.
In the time that Mona was away from small screen's fictional content, she was seen on the big screen in films like "3 Idiots" and "Utt Patangg". Her association with TV was only limited with reality shows "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4″, "Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega 4″ and "Shaadi 3 Crore Ki".
Just when everybody thought she had shifted to the big screen, she came back to TV.
To this, Mona says movies are just a bonus and her heart lies with the idiot box.
"I was never going to quit television. You'll never read a single interview of mine where I have said that 'Okay, this is it! I have done enough, of television and now I am quitting.' Quitting was never my idea," Mona said.
"I started from television, I belong here and I will continue to do this. Movies will happen whenever they are supposed to happen. Movies will be bonus for me, television is my everyday bread, butter and jam and everything," she added. – IANS

Three crew members injured on ‘Dabangg 2′ sets

Posted: 24 Jun 2012 01:40 PM PDT



Three technicians were injured on the sets of Salman Khan-starrer "Dabangg 2″ at Mehboob Studio here Saturday, and were admitted to the Lilavati Hospital. They are all out of danger, official sources said.
"There was a mishap while filming an action sequence for 'Dabangg 2′ at Mehboob Studio, Bandra, today. Three technicians sustained injuries and were taken to Lilavati Hospital by the doctor and ambulance that are on precautionary standby as a safety measure while filming action sequences," said an official statement from the publicists of the movie.
"Members of the principal cast were not filming during the mishap. All three technicians are out of danger," the statement read.
The technicians were injured following an "electric blast" on the set, said a source.
Salman accompanied the injured people, two of whom were initially said to be "serious", to the hospital.
His brother Arbaaz Khan, who is directing the movie, too came to the hospital, as did their father, veteran writer Salim Khan.
"Dabangg 2″ is the sequel to 2010 blockbuster "Dabangg", which starred Salman and Sonakshi Sinha in key roles.
