Kites unreleased promo leaks out on internet

2010-02-06T22:38:00.000-08:00

Bollywood is facing a strange dilemma these days. Gone are the days when the filmmakers got scared due to only one villain that hampered their film- the pirated CDs & DVDs of the film. These days, the internet seems to be giving sleepless nights to the filmmakers, with certain parts of a film or sometimes the film getting "leaked" out on the internet.

Just a few days back, it was the entire print of Neil Nitin Mukesh's unreleased film Tera Kya Hoga Johnny that found its way into the cyber space. The latest victim of online piracy is Rakesh Roshan's Kites. This Hrithik-Barbara-Kangna starrer has been in the news since the time it was announced. The filmmakers are now in a sticky situation because the unreleased promos of the film have been leaked out on a popular video sharing site yesterday, courtesy the handiwork of certain miscreants! On an official level, the promo was specially made and scheduled to release with My Name Is Khan, internationally.

The latest update is that the producers have been successful in taking the promos off the site

Katrina awarded for excellence in cinema?!

2010-02-06T22:29:00.000-08:00

"Self-belief is what keeps you going," Katrina Kaif said after being honoured by Assocham for 'Excellence in Performing Art'.

The 25-year-old actress, who was recently voted the Sexiest Asian Woman Alive, was given the award for her contribution to the world of cinema.

"I think everyone wants to make the best of the opportunities you get in life. Everyone has a special place in the world and I think self-belief is the most important thing which keeps you going so you should never lose it," Katrina told reporters.

The actress, who had delivered hits like 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani', 'New York' and 'De Dana Dan' last year, was to receive the award from Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, but she was not able to turn up because of "political commitments".

Incidentally, Katrina's next film 'Rajneeti' sees her portraying a politician with her role reportedly being based on the political journey of Priyanka's mother and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.

Katrina, who was wearing a green Saree for the event also highlighted the importance of promoting craftsmanship which is in dire straits in the country.

"I think it is very easy for us to go for things which scream for our attention. If you can sport a craft which can make someone's life beautiful you should do that," Katrina said.

Katrina was to receive the honour on 17th December but it was delayed as she underwent a surgical procedure in Mumbai, due to low hemoglobin level at that time.

Claudia Ciesla's Visa and Income Tax Violations

2010-01-11T10:50:00.000-08:00

In complete contravention of Indian visa and Income Tax regulations,
German model and Bigg Boss participant Claudia Ciesla has been doing
stage shows and performances and receiving huge amounts in cash as
remuneration for the same thus violating income tax
regulations.

She recently performed in Delhi on New Year's Eve and a few days later
was seen with her Bigg Boss co-participant and lover Pravesh Rana at a
Fashion show event at F Lounge and Bar in Delhi which was sponsored by a
liquour company. Our sources tell us that for both events Claudia got
huge amounts in cash from the organisers. As everybody knows
celebrities charge for appearances and even for photo shoots and
Claudia is making the most of her new found popularity after Bigg
Boss. No harm in making money but
the truth is that Claudia's visa was sponsored by the Colours channel
to enable her to participate in Bigg Boss only. If claudia ciesla has
to continue to work and live in India she has to go back to her native
country and then come back to India on a fresh work visa. She cannot
continue to work, do appearances and celebrity visits etc on the Bigg
Boss visa which technically speaking has expired after the show wound
up. We wonder how Claudia has been permitted to stay on in the country
after Bigg Boss or is she living here illegally?

Claudia has been seen at most of the happening parties in Mumbai. She
was last seen at the Star Screen Awards.

Not just that - a foreigner accepting or making huge amounts of cash
payments without the knowledge of the income tax authorities is a
serious offence. Apparently Claudia Ciesla has purchased a flat in
Lokhandwala all in hard cash. We hope Claudia has a good lawyer when
the taxman or cops come calling.

Sivapathikaram and Guru En Aalu fame Mamta Mohandas has done what most heroines would not even dream of.

Remember Asin's fate in London Dreams? Meanwhile, Mamta is currently busy with Kedi with Nagarjuna in Telugu and Nira Kazhcha, Anwar in Malayalam

SRK will be seen playing the role of a old man in his latest DISH Tv advertisement. SRK will be playing a 75-year-old who dances and romances his wife.

Director Anurag Basu says, The story is very cute. Tanvi Azmi is playing Shah Rukh’s wife. They’re hiding inside their room and are dancing.”

Adman Prasoon Joshi says, “We didn’t know if SRK will agree to the idea. I didn’t want to make him Veer Zaara kinda old. It had to be different. So, pehle Shah Rukh ko buddha banaya humne pictures mein, and then showed it to him. He was very sporting and lovedthe idea.”

Prasoon adds, “He liked the script a lot. Probably he never got a script like that before. His first reaction was, ‘Well, I love it!’ He probably he trusted my work. He didn’t take time to say yes.“Everybody has been going wow over the ad. He has emoted really well. There is a beautiful chemistry between him and Tanvi Azmi.”

Anurag Basu also revealed a secret, he said, “Shah Rukh called his make-up guy and gave him the brief on how to do his look. After the whole get-up was done, he did something very cute.

He clicked a picture of himself and sent it to Gauri on the phone, asking, ‘Will you still love me when I am old and look like this?’ I am sure he will look much more handsome when he is old!”

Agree with you Anurag, he looks sexy even as a oldy.

Deepika Padukone’s New Man

2009-12-05T11:12:00.001-08:00

These days Deepika Padukone is keeping herself busy in order to keep the memory of her broken heart away. But, we haven’t heard as yet about Deepika’s new man in her life. Well, here is the story.

According to reliable sources, after her break-up with Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone has got close to another co-star. This time the name happens to be that of director turned actor Farhan Akhtar. Sources say that the two have got really close during the making of the film KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK.
Our source adds, “Deepika’s break-up with Ranbir happened while KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK was still being made. Since Farhan is her co-star, the two really bonded well to the extent that it seems Farhan is the special person in Deepika’s life.”

Well, though the actors haven’t been spotted together, we wonder whether the two stars will accept or deny this new development.

Monica Bedi granted access to her frozen bank accounts

2009-12-05T10:56:00.000-08:00

Mumbai, The Bombay High Court Friday permitted Bollywood actress Monica Bedi to access her two savings accounts, frozen since 2002 when she was arrest along with mafia don Abu Salem in Lisbon Sep 2002 and deported from Portugal in Nov 2005.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had frozen the two accounts – at HDFC Bank’s Versova branch, at Andheri – on the grounds as they wanted to investigate whether or not they contained the ill-gotten wealth of her alleged boyfriend, Abu Salem.

A division bench of the court had, two weeks ago, asked the CBI to file an affidavit as to why it had not de-frozen the accounts.

Her lawyer had claimed that Bedi (35) had been acquitted in all the cases against her, except one and in this also, her appeal was pending before the Supreme Court.

When the matter came up for hearing Friday, the CBI contended that it had not found any evidence to prove that the money in the accounts could be tainted and said it had no objections to defreeze them.

Bedi’s lawyer told IANS that armed with the high court order, his client would be able to access and operate her bank accounts very soon, “probably by next week.”

Bedi and Salem were arrested in Lisbon Sep 2002 for entering Portugal using forged documents.

After a nearly four-year long legal battle, the duo was deported to India by Portugal Nov 11, 2005 after India assured that Salem would not get the death penalty.

In 2006, a CBI court in Hyderabad convicted Bedi in a passport forgery case. However, she was acquitted by a Bhopal court on similar charges in July 2007 due to lack of evidence.

She was released from jail in Hyderabad July 2007 and later attempted to re-start her Bollywood career.

Among others, Bedi was seen in “Bigg Boss” season 2 and “Jhalak Dikhlaa Ja” and is reportedly acting in some south India movies.
