Karan Johar’s next film with Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The upcoming film by film maker Karan Johar will have three superstars in it – Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma. It is understood that the title of the film is Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
The announcement has been made official by none other than Karan Johar himself. And that’s why there is nothing to speculate about. It will be the first time that the film maker will be working with the Bachchan bahu and that will be a good sign for her fans.
As far as Ranbir and Anushka are concerned, Karan worked with them earlier in the film titled Bombay Velvet. He is of the opinion that the chemistry of the two actors has been exceptional. And that is the reason why he has once again decided to cast them.
When you say Karan Johar, you invariably think of love flicks. And this will be something similar in nature. There will be love, break-ups and of course, how love is at the centerstage of a relationship.

Kalki Koechlin wants to look voluptuous like Huma Qureshi

The Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin has openly praised Huma Qureshi, the Pakistani actress for her looks. Kalki says that Huma is one damn good looking actress and wants to look as hot as her. According to Kalki, Huma is curvy and voluptuous. That is the reason why Kalki wants a figure like Huma.
Kalki Koechlin further said that there are various people who come in various shapes. That is why she cares the least about a popular tag like ‘zero figure’. Kalki admitted that she has been a skinny actress and wants to have something more in her, just the way Huma has. “I think she is really sexy,” is what Kalki says about the Pakistani actress.
But on a more mature note, Kalki said that Huma can’t have her body and she can’t have hers. They both are different individuals and that is the way they will live.
Huma Qureshi will be seen in her next film Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana. It was the film Gangs of Wasseypur that brought Huma in limelight. Kalki on the other hand will be seen in the film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani by Karan Johar.

Isha Sharvani performs in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 with broken arm

Isha Sharvani has become a role model for aspiring dancers due to her daring performance in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5. She actually performed her dance segment with a broken arm – literally, which was in a cast. As a matter of fact, she broke her arm during her practice sessions for the same show.
For Isha, steroids as well as pain-killers have been the order of the day. There were talks that the dancer might be forced to quit the show due to the injury. However, she proved everyone wrong by actually performing with a broken arm. She saw this opportunity as a challenge and did not back off.
In the semi-final, she had to perform a rope malkhamb, which she did with ease. Even though her arm was stuck at only one place, she managed to keep the judges spellbound by her performance. Her act was entirely flawless. The popular and famous dancer Madhuri Dixit was at her wit’s end after seeing Isha Sharvani perform.
Karan Johar was full of praise for Isha Sharvani and it echoed in his comments after she had finished.

Rohit Shetty ready for Bol Bachchan sequel?

Sequels have become the order of the day. If Rohit Shetty agrees, we might expect the sequel of Bol Bachchan very soon. The talented director has already given the hit Golmaal series. His latest release, Bol Bachchan has also been received very warmly by the audience. The director has not ruled out the possibility of a sequel to the film.
The director is already being termed as the Rs. 100 cr. man by someone like Karan Johar. He did not rule out the possibility of making the sequel when he had come to a theater to watch the movie amongst the audience. He was speaking at this time. Abhishek Bachchan who is also a part of the film was with Rohit Shetty.
The Jr. B is also a part of films like Dhoom and is also busy with Dostana 2. However, Abhishek was more than willing to do the sequel to the film. His only concern was persuading Ajay Devgan to work in the sequel as well.

Is Kareena Kapoor to be a director?

If the reports are to be believed, Kareena Kapoor might make her debut as a director in Karan Johar’s next venture. Karan thinks Kareena has all it takes to be a professional director. No wonder, he is offering her his next project. If Kareena gives the nod, her fans will see her don the hat of a director as well.
Karan Johar got to see the talents of Kareena Kapoor during her film Agent Vinod. Until she got involved with another of her films Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, she was more than curious to know what all it takes to make a film.
Kareena was willing to learn mixing, scripting, music and such other things associated with film making. Karan Johar was very much impressed with the things that were shaping up with Bebo. That is why he did not feel it odd to offer Kareena to direct his next film.
It is expected that Karan Johar might officially offer the project to Kareena after her marriage with Saif Ali Khan.

Agneepath earns more than Bodyguard on opening day

There is Agneepath, Agneepath and Agneepath all the way. When we heard that Bodyguard had been the highest grosser on the opening day in the history of the Hindi cinema, we thought that was it. It would take ages before the record is broken. However, it was just a matter of a few months to materialize.
Agneepath has earned more than what Bodyguard had earned on the opening day – an earning of Rs. 23 cr. Salman Khan starrer Bodyguard had earned Rs. 21.6 cr. It was a record in its own way. But Agneepath came strongly to earn slightly more than Rs. 1.6 cr. on the first day.
The film was released on the occasion of India’s Republic Day – Thursday, January 26. That was a good occasion for the people to take a break from the work and redeem themselves with a movie from the stable of Karan Johar.
With such a huge earning on the first day itself, it remains to be seen how the film fares in the opening week. Keep coming back here to know the latest about the BO collection of Agneepath.

Is Deepika Padukone in or out of Race2?


It is a question till date if Deepika Padukone will be part of Race 2. It is inside news that Deepika’s first choice Ayan Mukerji’s film Jawanni Hai Deewani. In this film her co-star is Ranbir Kapoor. Everyone knows that Ranbir Kapoor was and is still the ‘special’ friend of Dippy. But it seems Deepika Padukone still has some spark of love for Ranbir Kapoor left in her.
May be this reason is not true. But she does not like to lose chance to remain in the vicinity of her special friend. It may be possible but who knows it for sure?
But Deepika as the same time does not want to miss Karan Johar’s film Race 2. The director of the film is Abbas Mastan. If she has to remain in both the films, then she will have to adjust her dates like anything.
It seems if Ms Padukone is able to adjust the dates for both these films, then she can shoot for the films. Shooting of Jawanni hai Dewani may be completed until the April 2012. Then Deepika Padukone will shoot Race 2 in May 2012. Correct? Let us keep our fingers crossed.

Paris Hilton may not be interviewed in India


The well-known socialite Paris Hilton may not find any takers to interview her. The leading chat show hosts in India Simi Garewal and Karan Johar have both refused to interview her for an Indian television show. As a matter of fact, we had reported some days ago that Karan Johar was in fact approached to interview Paris on his show.
He was ready to go with the same. However, the Paris Hilton team put conditions after conditions in front of KJo. There were strict conditions put before Karan Johar that he could not ask questions that were related to the socialite. He was almost dictated with lots of terms and conditions. Finally, he had little option but to refuse.
Then Simi Garewal was the obvious choice and she is quite popular and has loads of experience in the field. However, it was a sort of a prestige point that Simi Garewal did not want to be a last minute choice and that too as a second option. But the other reason is that the lady is too busy with the post-production of the episodes that she has shot with Asin, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Kangna Ranaut and Rani Mukerji.

Karan Johar will not interview Paris Hilton


In a big setback and disappointment to Paris Hilton fans in India, the international celebrity will not be interviews by the popular talk show host Karan Johar when the beautiful lady visits India by the end of the next week. The fashion icon was to be interviewed in the Koffee With Karan format.
However, the interview that could have garnered a lot of interest is no more a reality now. The reason is the tough terms and conditions led down by the Paris Hilton media team. The team stated in their terms and conditions, that she would not be asked about the drug use, the jail term or the sex tape.
Karan Johar was also told that there would be no personal questions put forth to the renowned heiress. In the initial stages of the preparation towards the interview, Karan Johar accepted some of the conditions put to him. However, the flow of the ifs and buts just did not reduce.
If there are so many terms and conditions then what will remain is just a casual chat between Karan and Paris. Why does it need to be an interview and be telecast of TV? It will be like exchanging pleasantries. Either way, well-known people from the field do exchange pleasantries whenever they meet.

That was too much for the filmmaker who thought enough was enough. After he is not a person, who is advised about what questions to ask and what not. He decided to chop off the idea of the interview altogether.

Katrina Kaif refuses Ayan Mukherjee film with Ranbir Kapoor


Katrina Kaif might as well have agreed to be professional and work with her former boyfriend Salman Khan. However, she has not given the green signal to work with Ranbir Kapoor – her former love. Ayan Mukherjee wanted Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor to work in their yet to be titled film.
However, the problem for Katrina was her packed diary dates. Currently she is busy with Salman Khan for the film Ek Tha Tiger. Her second film is with another Khan – Shah Rukh Khan. The film, which is a Yash Raj production, is to be titled yet.
Katrina was very much willing to do the Ayan Mukherjee film. The film is to be produced by Karan Johar, who happens to be a good old family friend of Shah Rukh Khan. Karan Johar had a talk with Aditya Chopra over the settlement and adjustment of dates. But it was virtually impossible for them to settle Kat’s dates for all the three films.
The beautiful damsel had no other option but to let go the film. Well, it happens in Bollywood. Sometimes you get good offers and the film is a hit and sometimes things just don’t work out for you.

Salman Khan ignited cold war between Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra?





The whole world knows that Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra share cold vibes. They leave no stone unturned to get the better of each other. There have been many such instances since the popular chat show Koffee With Karan. Now, the two ladies could be in for some more hatred between each other.
No, even if the chat show is over, there are other persons chatting about them. And one of them is Salman Khan. Sallu bhai just made a comment that could re-ignite the war between these two sleeping beauties. However, it is not only Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra who are not on talking terms with each other.
Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra are also not on good terms with each other since their film Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. The possible cold war could re-ignite after Salman Khan’s statement.
Currently, Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor are shooting for their film Bodyguard. While talking in an interview, he tagged Kareena Kapoor as the ‘original desi girl. In fact, after the song in the film Dostana, the tag of desi girl got attached to Priyanka Chopra.
We wonder, if PC is listening!

Miss India Kanishtha Dhankar is not interested in item numbers


One of the probable candidates of the Miss World title, Miss India Kanishtha Dhankar, is not at all interested in item numbers. When on one hand, even the established actresses of Bollywood like Malaika Arora Khan, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone are looking at the option of item numbers seriously, here is one such would-be actress who is refusing this trend altogether.
Though Kanishtha Dhankar is yet nowhere in the films, she is talking about the future where she herself talks about the ifs and buts of her entry in the film industry, especially the Bollywood.
Kanishtha has even determined to herself that she would do a film that would give out a social message. She even stated examples of films like Guzaarish and 3 Idiots. Though she is not sure of her own future in the film industry, she is dreaming of working with renowned directors like Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap.
Though Kanishtha is not known to be a film personality at all, she has observed the well-known directors pretty well. She feels that Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap have their own ways of handling the topics.
We don’t know if she will bring the beauty crown home, but she has already prepared the platform for her entry in Bollywood. We hope she isn’t yet another Poonam Pandey, who just runs her mouth.

Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan ends third season


The popular chat show hosted by Karan Johar, Koffee With Karan has ended its third season this year. The final episode of the show was telecast. Understandably, Karan Johar was pretty emotional at the last moment. He said that he would always remember the kaffeine kick that he got during the programme.
On the night of Sunday, this is what Karan Johar had to say about his programme, which he tweeted on his Twitter page, “KWK3 bids farewell tonight... thank you for all the love people... it has been a steaming ride!! Will miss this kaffeine kick tremendously!!!”
Why this chat show garnered tremendously popularity was because of the fact that, many actors and actresses chose the couch of Koffee With Karan to fire at their opponents. There were cold wars as well as open taunts fired at the other party.
Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor had one such famous brawl when they were the guests on the show. Their ‘fighting’ continued even many days later too. The pair of Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone was one such much talked about pair on the show. The episode involving Vidya Balan and Rani Mukherjee was also a popular one.

Karan Johar at the 2006 Frankfurt Book Fair on...Image via Wikipedia
Karan Johar is known for making family oriented film. His films are totally of a ‘U’ category and the family can watch it together. He is one director who looks smart, is handsome, has all the qualities to be a hero on the silver screen and still he has never given acting any preference in life.
