Is Deepika Padukone dating Ranveer Singh?

The grapevine is always ripe with rumors and news. This time around it is about Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Both Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are the lead actors in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. Sanjay Leela Bhansali wants the two of them to be perfect in what they have to show on the screen.
For this single reason, he has made sure that they get the proper training. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has gone ahead to organize a workshop for the two of them. This workshop has literally forced the two to spend as many as 18 hours a day for the training purposes.
If the reports are to be believed, Deepika was so busy with her work that she could not get even a single day off during the Diwali festival last week. It should be admitted that Deepika is super busy these days as she is working on as many as three films at the same time.
Coming back to the news of Deepika Padukone dating Ranveer Singh, we would like to say that it is just out of the grapevine and there is no official word from either actor on this. As the two are working with each other for such a long time daily, maybe that is why it is being termed as ‘dating’.

Kareena Kapoor walks out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela

Kareena Kapoor has made it clear that she will not be a part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela. There were already a lot of speculations that she would walk out of the film and the same finally has now materialized. Ranveer Singh was the male lead in the film.
There is no doubt that Kareena has refused to be a part of the film. The reason put fourth for Bebo’s refusal to work has been stated to be lack of dates. However, there seems to be another reason for Kareena Kapoor to quit the film. And it is expected that Kareena was being paid lesser than her expectations.
However, this is still a guess and no one knows why Kareena has refused to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. There was a time when Sanjay Leela Bhansali was not ready to work with Bebo in the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. There was a second chance for Bebo to rectify that mistake and work with SLB.
But it looks as if Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Kareena Kapoor will not work together, at least in the near future. Sanjay Leela Bhansali might sign up Priyanka Chopra for the same film.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor to marry on October 16

After a lot of speculations and rounds of guesses all the time, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor will finally get married on October 16 (we hope at least, this time there is something to look forward to in the news). It looks very much a possibility as Sharmila Tagore – Saif Ali’s mother has herself announced the date.
As far as the professional career of the sexy Kapoor lady is concerned, she will keep going as she is now. However, she might not do more than a couple of films each year. As of now, Kareena is busy with Heroine. After the Madhur Bhandarkar film, she will start the work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela.
One thing that has come as a solace to Sanjay Leela Bhansali is that Kareena won’t be going on a wedding break. So that gives him ample time from Kareena to shoot the film without any shatter.
As far as the wedding is concerned, it will be only a very private function that will be attended by only the nearest of the relatives.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan not in films for a year

The newest celebrity mommy in India Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will remain away from films for at least a year now, if not more. The reports came after it was suspected that rumors had started building that Aishwarya Rai would be seen in films soon. It was even being said that Sanjay Leela Bhansali had signed Ash for his film.
It was being rumored that Aishwarya would make her comeback opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. Aishwarya would play Mastani and Shah Rukh would be seen in the role of Bajirao. However, according to a close source, Shah Rukh would be in the film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. But he would not be in the role of Bajirao.
But another source has something different to say. Actually, the reports of including SRK in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film are a means to frustrate Salman Khan. As a matter of fact, Salman Khan was the first choice for Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the role of Bajirao. The film was to be made in 2002.
However, things did not fall in place for Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Salman Khan and of course Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Smita Patil’s Ghost is shooting with Prateik Babbar

This is not something for the faint hearted or for those who do not believe in ghosts. If reports are to be believed, then Smita Patil’s ghost is always present on the sets of My Friend Pinto. Prateik Babbar is the son of the late Smita Patil who was one of the finest actresses of her times.
The film, which is directed by Raghav Dhar also confirms the presence of ‘someone’ on the sets. Even producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali has given the same reaction about this. Smita Patil is present on the sets, the crew members of the film feel.
Though Prateik feels that he wants to get away from the comparisons being made between him and his mother, it does not seem to be possible so easily. Smita’s spirit hovered so closely that the speed of the shooting had to be brought down at times.
A source close to the film said that they have never been interested in knowing how close Smita Patil was to her son at other occasions. But the source also mentioned that for the film My Friend Pinto, she is certainly there.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film on Abu Salem and Monica Bedi?


Acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film My Friend Pinto is in the news. It is a sort of controversial affair as far as the contents of the film are concerned. It is a slight depiction of the love affair of underworld don Abu Salem and his Bollywood girlfriend Monica Bedi.
The character of Abu Salem is played by Makrand Deshpande and that of Monica Bedi is played by Divya Dutta. Makrand Deshpande is a gangster who kids with the idea of making films. However, he faces huge losses in the business. The frustration then leads him to the underworld to lead a risky life. It is then that he falls in love with an upcoming actress (Divya Dutta).
It is but natural that Divya Dutta does not feel comfortable and secure with Makrand Deshpande. That is why she tries to find another guy for her company. This is exactly as Monica Bedi did with Rahul Mahajan in Bigg Boss.
Though the sources say that the film is not entirely based on Abu Salem and Monica Bedi, there is little doubt that the story resembles it more than one way.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali to revive his old project?


The host of X-Factor and acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is an uneasy man. It is not because the singing reality show got over, but there is another reason for that. His ambitious project has yet not seen the light of the day. He has been dreaming about the project since 2003 – for 8 years now. However, it just has not taken off.
We are talking about the film that Sanjay Leela Bhansali wants to make, which is based on the lives of the Maratha general Peshwa Bajirao and his half-Muslim second wife Mastani. Bhansali wanted to make the film Bajirao Mastani way back in 2003. But things are just not working for the producer.
As a matter of fact, Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to star in the film. However, it were those days when the two super stars split infamously. There was no way the two could ever come back again even for professional reasons unlike Salman khan and Katrina Kaif.
Mr. Bhansali then tried to cast the pair of Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor. However, he gave up the idea as another director had already cast them. Sanjay Leela Bhansali thought it would take away the charm and attraction if the same pair is cast at around the same time in two different films.
Making the film is getting tougher each day. He has had two flops in Saawariya and Guzaarish. Therefore, it would be difficult to get the budget of his wish. Moreover, the star cast too is a problem these days as most of the stars’ schedule is too tight at the moment.
