Vivekh on the small screen?

January 21st, 2009

The meltdown has forced many Tamil film producers to bring down production costs. Actors Vivekh and Vadivel have been badly hit by therecession, as they are said to be the highest paid daily wage earners in the industry.

Though their film careers are booming, producers are finding it increasingly difficult to cast them in their films. Vivekh, we hear, does not want to cut down on his salary and so, has been forced to do fewer films.

The latest we hear about the actor is that he might do a television serial for a private channel. The serial will be a laugh riot, according to sources.

The comedian thinks that there is nothing wrong in opting for the small screen when his career in Kollywood is booming. The argument is that even top Bollywood actors (like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar) have opted for the small screen while doing movies too!

Kareena Kapoor's luscious body displayed

January 20th, 2009

Gone are the days when Kareena displayed her zero size body. The actress is on a diet that will enhance her curves and this curvy hourglass figure is now evident in the new Airtel commercial with boyfriend Saif Ali Khan.

Says her confidant, "Bebo is very proud to get back her curves. She had to work really hard for the zero size look. After all she has Punjabi genes and she loves eating. With this curvy look, she is looking really good."

Theatre owner Manoj Desai is of the opinion that, "Size does matter and in India there is no space for size zero in our films. Bebo looks under nourished and no Hindi film heroine can survive with such a figure. I am glad she has come to her senses and is now putting on weight."

Kareena Kapoor has a style quotient that can carry anything. From the call girl look in Chameli, to her sans make up look in Dev, to her zero size Tashan avatar, Kareena has been loved and admired, and in her latest commercial, the off shouldered cream top only helps to flaunt her latest assets.

The film was released with 300 prints in 500 theaters through Suresh Distributors. The racy youthful entertainer has raked in nearly 10 crore in the first week of its release according to producer MS Raju.

The delay in the release of Arundathi by two days also helped Maska considerably to rake in the moolah. With the release of Arundathi and the film getting super hit talk, the collections for Maska are slowly dipping now.
