Amitabh Bachachan Moved By Indian Idol 5

Season 5 of Indian Idol started with a bang on Monday. Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog that the hopes, aspirations, victory and defeat of the young “would move any human”. Big B accepted that he was indeed touched by the contestants while watching Indian Idol. And also the fact that he watches the show with “great interest and expectations”.

Two episodes over and the excitement has already started on the show. With judges Anu Malik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant pulling each other’s legs, the entertainment has just begun. Already shorlisted some talented singers, Indian Idol 5 seems to be quite promising. Our fingers are crossed!!!

Post IPL, What Is SRK Doing?

After losing over IPL matches, the co-owner of the Team Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan is busy with his home production movie Ra.one. After Bobby Chawla (the CEO, Red Chillies) chose a brief period of illness and hospitalization, the kind-hearted superstar has taken over the additional burden of production onto his his already overloaded shoulders. The actor was busy shooting prior to this but this extra work is keeping him really busy, away from the whole world.

To this the great SRK tweets, “Whole day gone in meetings for production etc… So many things happening.. Sometimes don’t even realize how the day comes to the end. Wish, Bobby my friend gets well sooner than soon. He is still in the hospital and the film is so difficult in terms of production”.

As per the 44-years old actor, the title ‘Ra.One’ means “Random Access Version One”. I think we will understand the meaning and relevance better after the movie hits the floor. Let us see in spite of all these hurdles, when will the movie be on air for us to view and guess the real meaning.

Music Launch of the much awaited Ravana

The drum beats followed by Abhishek jumping off a cliff into a river ! And Aishwarya emerging out of the same river water ! Yeah Readers ! You guessed it right. I am talking of the upcoming movie Ravana.

A huge buzz has been felt since the trailers of Ravana have hit the television sets. The movie starring Aishwarya Rai Bachhan, Abhishek Bachhan and the Tamil Superstar Vikram, is the forthcoming movie of the multi-talented Mani Ratnam. Ravana will be showcased in multiple languages.

The Audio release was set on the 24th of April at the Yashraj Studios. The musical magic is created by the living Legend Gulzar and the Oscar and Grammy Awards Winner, A.R. Rahman. The combination of the two greatest musical maestros is ready to trap your heart and bind your soul. The list of crew is a top-notch. The younger Bachhan has laid a few steps onto the beat of the song Thok De Killi at the occassion. And the Bachhan daughter-in-law added an extra sparkle with her stunning saree designed exclusively by Sabyasachi, the costume designer for the movie. The wait is still a little long because the movie is decided to be on air tentatively during the 11th International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) 2010 to be held in the month of June.

Aamir Khan to host Kaun Banega Crorepati 4

Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan is likely to host the fourth season of TV’s most popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati , according to unconfirmed reports.

In the past superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have played hosts. While Big B hosted the first and second season, SRK took over the reigns from him for the third season.

Reports also suggest that Aamir, who is riding high on the success of 3 Idiots, is still undecided. Let’s hope we get to see Aamir soon on the small screen

Who is the guy with Katrina Kaif?

Katrina Kaif greeting someone at the IPL after party. I wonder who is he???

Katrina will not ‘Kiss’!!

Katrina Kaif has roped in to play the lead in the Dostana sequel. But this has however made KJo and Tarun Masukhani to go under dilemma as they are facing a big challenge to decide a new look for the actress.

Whatever the producer, director and stylist respectively come up with, they realize that this has been done before with Priyanka Chopra in Dostana… right from beachwear’s to sarees.

Another issue that adds to it is that Dostana sequel moves completely away from Miami and shifts to London. As London has always been a common spot for the Bollywood industry, there is not a single location spared in the capital that Indian moviegoers aren’t familiar with. Also, the film won’t go anywhere near beaches; Katrina need not have fear about any kind of exposure.

As for kissing scenes, the kiss is again between Abhishek and John.

Asin to romance Salman Khan

It’s confirmed that Asin Thottumkal is Salman Khan’s leading lady in Anees Bazmee’s remake of the Telugu hit “Ready”. It was never Deepika Padukone, as reported in a section of the press.

”Asin plays the lead. I wonder where Deepika’s name came from!!” says director Bazmee currently preparing for a month-long shooting of his Anees also denies the story that Salman asked him to sign Asin.

“The role requires a ‘chulbuli’, vivacious, talkative and agile girl. Asin was the natural choice.”

Having failed to play something different in London Dreams, Asin is back to doing the Ghajini act again viva la vivacious!

Arshad “irons out” with Maria

Arshad Warsi has finally accepted that his marriage is under pressure. With rumours doing the rounds about his alleged affair with his co-star Dia Mirza, there’s tension in the home front. Besides this, he couldn’t give time to his family because of his hectic schedule. His rumoured “ishquiya” with Dia only added fuel to fire. However, Arshad had to come out and iron out the differences between his wife Maria and his close friend Dia.

Things are in place now for “Hum, Tum Aur Woh (oops!) Ghost” star. Doesn’t the whole scene reminds you of another “superhero” and his close association with his “firang” co-star, keep guessing??

Priyanka is truly a “desi girl”

When most of the actors would give anything to get even a minute’s role in a Hollywood flick, our “desi-girl” Priyanka Chopra turned down a Hollywood offer. She was offered a role in Dawn of War, however, she refused it. The reason was not the script or her role. According to the sources, the dates of Dawn of War clashed with that of Vishal Bhardwaj’s next venture, Saat Khoon Maaf. The leggy beauty chose to be a part of the Indian movie instead of being starred opposite the British actor Henry Cavill.

All we can say is that she is one actress who knows her priorities.

2010 is Aishwarya Rai’s year!!

There were lots of speculations regarding Aishwarya’s career. Some said, she has lost her charm or new actresses have replaced her.

Even when Katrina replaced her in the new ad of Lux, people thought Ad world is also bidding her goodbye. But Aishwarya proved everybody wrong and 2010 specially belongs to her.

Her releases this year…

She starts with Action Replayy-opposite Akshay Kumar

Rani Laxmibai- the historical film by Ketan Mehta

Raaste- Opposite Abhishek along with John Abraham

Happy Birthday- The sci-fi film by Sriram Raghavan

Dhun- Aish and Abhishek once again together

Guzaarish- Aishwarya and Abhishek’s onscreen chemistry once again

Biscuit– Aishwarya and Abhishek have been signed together for a lot of films. This is another addition to the already long list.

Enthiram –. Aishwarya is to play the main lead opposite the Tamil superstar Rajinikanth.

Well if B- Town movie listing is taken, then King Khan is also not that busy in 2010.

Kudos to Aishwarya. She has lots more to give to Bollywood!!!

Imran, Deepika to become youth icons!!

Filmmaker Kunal Kohli has roped in new designers to design a younger and trendier look for Deepika Padukone and Imran Khan in “Break Ke Baad” and says he wants them to become “youth icons”.

The two will sport separate hair-colour schemes for the pre and post interval halves of the film.

“Both Imran and Deepika showed up in Delhi looking younger and trendier. Their clothes are younger and cooler than before. We’ve brought in completely new designers for Deepika and Imran,” said Kohli.

While Imran’s clothes have been done by the Delhi-based designer duo Harmeet-Neha, Deepika’s designer is Ayesha, a former assistant to Anaita Shroff.

Can’t wait to watch the two in “Break Ke Baad”
