Hottie Hansika

January 21st, 2009

For the first time in her career, Hansika would be doing a hot item number with Prabhas in his next film being directed by Meher Ramesh.

I'll do anything for director Meher since he is like my brother,” she opines. Being the remake of Hindi film Don, she would be invariably stepping into the shoes of Helen and Kareena Kapoor for this sizzling number. Will it be a real sizzler? “Neither do I know about the concept nor about my costume,” she smiles. Unlike her peers Ileana and Trisha, she is breaking a new ground. Could Prabhas-Hansika jodi set the screen on fire?

Trisha pairs with Gopichand after 5 years

January 21st, 2009

Once upon a time in tinselville, Gopichand was an established villain in Tollywood. He was the baddies for heroines and one of the heroines was Trisha in the movie 'Varsham' starring Prabhas in the lead. He was in the negative role of 'Bhadranna' at that time and now it's time for Gopichand to romance Trisha as a hero.

After plenty of time, say about 5 years, the pair is coming together on screen in the lead cast.

Director of the action packed flick 'Shouryam', Siva is going to direct this huge budget film to be produced jointly by J.Pulla Rao & Bhagavanlu.

Sathyaraj is also coming back to Telugu screens who is set to play as father of Gopichand in this film. The movie will begin shooting in February, as reported.

Deepika out Sonam in

January 21st, 2009

There's something spicy always revolving around the heroines of 'OSO' and 'Saawariya'. Yeah! These missies had their debut flicks hitting screens on the same time and indeed got professionally pitched at each other. Perhaps, the youngest 'Kapoor' had himself involved with stories cooked between them. And now, it's Akshay Kumar having his turn.

Akki wasn't so elated pairing up with Deepika, as the results for CC2C weren't commendable. Much before that his forthcoming flick 'Come On… Pappu' had no female lead finalized. Buzz has it that Akshay Kumar would be roping in Deepika if things work out well with Chandni Chowk. But as things didn't go as expected, exit Deepika and Enter Sonam into the scene.

Directed by Rohit Dhawan (Son of David Dhawan), the 90-Crore project is produced as a joint venture of Percept Pictures Company and Akshay Kumar. A comedy on its genre, the film is about relationships between the protagonist (Akshay) and a chimpanzee.

'Come On… Pappu' will start rolling from mid-August.

Let's hope that Akshay's decision to change heroines brings him luck in this flick!

Shekhar Sumar wanted a Refund on the Ticket of the CC2C Movie

January 21st, 2009

Like many people who went out to see CC2C, Shekhar Suman too hated the film and wanted a refund on the ticket of the movie. Chandi Chowk to China ‘got mixed reviews from audience and many suspected that Shekher made such comments on the film because his son’s film ‘Raaz: The Mystery Continues’ will be releasing in coming week.

But Shekhar is not alone in condemning the film. a number of critics wrote the film’s obituary as soon as it was released. Much hype was created about it being inspired by Akshay Kumar’s life. Also big names were associated with it like, Warner Bros., Sippys, Nikhil Advani. With some great locations like The Great Wall of China, Beutiful Deepika Padukone, Kung Fu and some Chinese Fighters. But all these could also not make it an Great (& hit) movie.

A tale of a guy travelling from Chandni Chowk to China, being considered as a king reborn, expecting him to free them from Hojo, their enemy. Entangled, in between the story of Deepika Padukone, as twin sisters, one chinese, and one Indian, with a Chinese father, who surprisingly gets back the police job & uniform, after being vanished for 20+ years!!!

Some scenes like flying in air etc were taken from the regular Chinese movies, and I am still figuring out, what a Cosmic Kung-Fu is??

Coming to the performances, Akshay Kumar was as usual, Good with comedy, timing of dialogues, Ease in acting. deepika PadukoneDeepika Padukone is good. The chinese one looks like Esha Deol. Is it cos, both are south Indinas ?? ( ;-) bad joke!! ). Other actors like, Mithun, Roger Yuan (as Inspector) are good. Ranvir Shourie as Guruji has been given a good share of screen, and he delivers well. The Character of Hojo was not well defined. Music, good background score, ok ok songs. Phatte Chak de is good one. Kudos to Kailash Kher. All seems good, but where did it lacked??

It lacked in story telling & Direction. Nikhil Advani, seemed a promising director with ease in story telling, in Kal Ho Na Ho. But lacked the pace in Salaa-e-Ishq. But in this movie, it seems he has lost itall!! What is that, when Maithun kicks Akshay and he falls here n there?? Whats the Cosmic Kung Fu? (yeah, I am still trying to understand), and the song in which akshay flies in air with Deepika. What was that?? Cosmic love??

At the end, what does he want to show, by tranforming Hojo in to a potato? Is this a kids film? And, if at last, Akshay has to use his Cooking skills to fight, whats the use of getting trained in Kung fu?…and Cosmic Kung Fu?? ( :-D ) I can only say, Jhol hai saara Jhol hai ye pyaare…..!!!! Nikhil, Better wake up, or Kal Ho Na Ho .. . .

Come on guys. Grow Up. You are premiering this in UK. Is this what u show to international Audience? and then Aksahy says: Keep your brain at home. Disgusting. Even if u keep your brain at home, you will find the movie Bogus.

Chandi Chowk to China seems entertaing for an hour, but then it drags. It drags hopelessly. Sorry Mr. Akshay, this is not the right path to be a King. I mean you are good, with Comedy, Action & all (except Emotions), but you need to be backed up by Good stories & Directors.

Saif and Deepika Padukone in Love Aaj Kal

January 21st, 2009

Saif Ali Khan and Imtiaz Ali are smiling these days. After tearing their hair out to come up with a title for Saif’s home production co-starring Deepika Padukone, they have finally come up with a title that suits the film. It’s Love Aaj Kal.

Our source close to Saif said, “Imtiaz and Saif couldn’t arrive at a decision as far as naming the film was concerned. So they decided to go ahead with their shooting and brainstorm about the film’s name later.

Eventually they both were so hassled that Saif thought of holding a contest inviting the audience to suggest a suitable name for their film.”

After the film’s shooting, Imtiaz and Saif had to eventually sit down for a brainstorming session. The source added, “The duo came up with different names.

After a lot of deliberation and thought, Imtiaz decided to call the film, Aaj Aur Kal, but was still apprehensive about it. Imtiaz wanted to change the title from Aaj Aur Kal to Aaj Kal.

But Saif disagreed with him saying that he wanted a title that would instantly connect with the audience, like Jab We Met. They then decided on Love Aaj Kal.”

Though Imtiaz remained unavailable for comment, a source close to the director confirmed the news and said, “Yes Imtiaz has decided to call the film Love Aaj Kal.”

Trisha Beats Herself

January 21st, 2009

Trisha has accepted to play the heroine opposite Gopichand for an untitled film and the news is that she has been offered a bomb of a price for the film, so high is the remuneration that it beats all the previous prices the actress has ever quoted for a film. In a way Trisha has beaten herself in the price war.

The actress has always been a costly affair in Telugu films, with her price being more for a Telugu film more than a Tamil one.

Many say Trisha is a bigger actress in Telugu than in Tamil films, the Tamil word is primarily ruled by Nayantara.

Drunken guy misbehaves with Minissha Lamba?

January 21st, 2009

Minissha Lamba’s birthday party was spoilt by a bottle-hitter who got too drunk to keep his behaviour in check.

Bollywood’s cute babe Minissha Lamba turned a year older on Sunday and threw a bash at Royal Palms at Goregaon. Her close friends and a few family members were invited to the party.

Among the guests was a twenty-something guy who had reportedly come with one of the guests. Once the party was in full swing, the said guy downed a few drinks and became the party spoiler.

According to reports, after having his fill, the guy began acting overenthusiastic and attracted a lot of attention. He even tried getting too close to Minissha. In fact, reports say he tried acting fresh with the actress.

Minissha’s protective brother Karan Lamba, who was also at the party, took the drunken guy aside and tried to put some sense back to his tipsy head. But the guy was probably too sloshed out to check his behaviour.

Ultimately he had to be thrown out of the party.

Minissha has confirmed the incident but she says it was a one-off incident that she prefers to forget.
