Do Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone need 11 retakes?

Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are currently busy shooting for Ayan Mukerji’s film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The film has already seen lots of changes in the location and still a bulk of the shooting still remains to be completed. However, there still remains one thing that is difficult to sort out.
Ayan Mukerji, for one, needs takes and retakes galore. If the sources are to be believed, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone had to do the same scene as many as 11 times. There is no doubt that the duo was not really feeling well with the takes. However, there was no option for them but to continue.
The entire crew and the cast of the film had to oblige. The team has already travelled and shot for various scenes in Rajasthan and Manali, not to talk about Mumbai. They now move to France to shoot almost 40% of the film.
Well, we do not know which shot needed those 11 retakes. But we hope at the end of the day, everything went right.

Priyanka Chopra charging high fees after Barfi success

It is but natural for the stars to hike their fees after success. Priyanka Chopra and Barfi are no excuse either. Priyanka has reported charged as much as Rs. 1 cores for walking the ramp of a fashion show in Delhi. A fashion show kicks off the next week in the city.
As a matter of fact, Priyanka is the brand ambassador of the show. So, it was pretty much natural for them to approach PC first. However, hearing her demand, it was evident that there would be no further progress with the deal. The designer could not afford such a huge amount to pay to Piggy Chops.
Such celebrities are generally paid around Rs. 30 lakhs for such shows. A whooping amount that is more than three times high was not going to do any good to the show. The organizers had to look for a different celebrity then.
However, a source close to Priyanka has said that the actress was going to leave for Los Angles in a couple of days. So there was no way she would walk the ramp.

Apart from Kim, Aamir Khan’s brother Faisal Khan is also a possibility on the show.
