John Abraham shot an adventurous scene for New York

2009-04-13T04:24:00.000-07:00

As we all know, John Abraham is all set to be seen in his upcoming film, New York. As it is already known John is initiating a lot for the stunts of the film. Recently it was known that for a scene from this film John asked a retake. But there was a question in the director's mind regarding why John wanted a retake for the scene…. Actually, the scene was a stunt scene. Director Kabir Khan had already shot the scene involving a stunt man. But John felt that the scene was not that difficult for him to do. It was a bit adventurous. The scene required John to rappel down a skyscraper which is 40-floor high.It is known that Kabir Khan was not ready to allow John to do the scene himself, but then John insisted that it was not that difficult scene and he can do that easily.I don't know whether they have made this news to do the publicity of New York. Let's wait and watch the scene when the movie releases and then only can we decide whether the scene is adventurous or not!!!

Ritiesh Deshmukh shooting for Rann

2009-03-26T02:20:00.000-07:00

Ram Gopal Varma has started shooting for his next film, Rann with his complete cast and crew team. It is normal for Ramu to think extravagantly and adventurously. We have seen his adventurousness in many of his films. But this time he had to suffer because of such type of thinking.
It is known that Ram Gopal Varma planned to make a scene where Ritiesh Deshmukh will be seen mingling in the crowd. He wanted the scene to be shot on the roads of Delhi. But he wanted a natural scene and so he planned to fix the cameras on the building tops near the road where they wanted to shoot. Ritiesh Deshmukh was supposed to walk from the crowd and the cameras would have shot him. According to the plan, actually they shot a scene, but later when public noticed Ritiesh Deshmukh walking besides they started following him. The scene where he was supposed to ride on the bike was not taken at that time because of the crowd of the people.

I want to keep our pairing fresh

2009-03-17T01:17:00.000-07:00

Ranbir Kapoor recently while talking to someone said that, “I want to keep our fresh”. This statement of Ranbir is quite confusing as this statement is not intended for any girl. Then, who is he talking about???
Like other well known and famous pairs, Ranbir too is thinking for the same. We have seen Aamir Khan with Salman Khan in Andaz Apna Apna. Then we have seen Shahrukh Khan with Salman Khan in Karan Arjun and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. We have also seen Shahrukh Khan with Hrithik Roshan in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.
Same like all these actors Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan are desperate to cast together in a film.
While saying about the same Ranbir also said that many of the directors came to them with their scripts for the same, but they were not happy with the scripts. So they rejected the film. They want their pair to be kept fresh and so don’t want to cast together in any film which would fail on the big screen.
As of now, Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor are thick friends of each other and are in search for the best script for the two.
Currently Ranbir Kapoor is working for some upcoming films like Rajneeti, Wake Up Sid and Rocket Singh. There is one more untitled film of Yash Chopra that is in the pipeline of production for which Ranbir is going to cast.
On the other side Imran Khan has only two projects in his hands. Soham Shah’s Luck and Aamir’s home production Delhi Belly are the two upcoming films in which Imran Khan will be seen

Another film under Yash Raj Film Banner

2009-03-12T00:41:00.000-07:00

Director Pradeep Sarkar is searching for an actor for his next film of Yash Raj films. There was a problem that happened during the time of Laaga Chunri Mein Daag. Pradeep was to start another film under Yash Raj banner. It seems that two actors have refused to work for the film.

Pradeep had asked Imran Khan for the lead role of the film, as he wanted to caste Imran in the lead role. But reportedly, Imran Khan turned down this offer. Then the director moved to Shahid Kapoor for the lead role but there also he had to face disappointment.

Then there were also some rumors that said that the director even approached Abhishek Bachchan. But yes or no from Abhishek is not yet confirmed it seems. Also it is known that Vidya Balan is being considered for the lead actress of the film.

Pradeep says that currently he is working on three scripts. Once he is done with the scripts, he will decide about the casting of the films.

Shahrukh Khan meets Manoj Kumar…

2009-01-30T01:36:00.000-08:00

Shahrukh Khan managed to find some time from his busy schedule of Billu Barber to meet Manoj Kumar. Hearing this, I know… all of them are shocked!!! But it is true. Inspite of the spat after Om Shanti Om, SRK went to visit Manoj Kumar. For those whom, who don’t know the Om Shanti Om spat, Manoj Kumar was quite upset by Shahrukh Khan for including an insulting scene in Om Shanti Om. The scene described that a watchman at the theatre entrance could not recognize Manoj Kumar. SRK showed an Id card in which there was a photo, and the actor had his hand on his face (Manoj Kumar’s style)….and so on….
This was quite upsetting for Manoj Kumar and he also felt insulted because of the same. He also complained against Shahrukh Khan and had filed a case against Om Shanti Om asking them to chop that. Also he was very much frustrated because of the same.
But now, it seems all is well between the two. Or may be, Shahrukh is trying to cope up with Manoj Kumar for the matter. It is known that Shahrukh went to Manoj Kumar to visit his ailing mother in law.
He acted very friendly to Manoj Kumar’s grand sons. Also he had a chat with Manoj Kumar for some time. When Shahrukh asked him about why is he not doing any film now, Manoj Kumar answered that is there any problem to Shahrukh if he is not doing any film? Then they joked over their discussion and had an in general discussion.
Manoj Kumar said that he doesn’t like to meet the young actors and so he does not meet any but recently he had just spoke to Aamir for some reason. He also said that Salman is his best friend’s son, but still he has not seen him for around 19 years……

Arshad’s Circuit is breaking with Maria….

2009-01-23T23:31:00.000-08:00

Arshad Warsi and Maria Goretti who were living a very happy married life some days back are facing some issues. It is known that earlier also there was a time when the couple stuck in various quarrels, but then Arshad managed to solve that issue.
But the same situation has arrived before them now and they are facing many tensions. Maria Goretti was always there with Arshad as his best friend. Even when Arshad’s career was stepping down and he was facing a low career phase, Maria Goretti stood besides him. They were facing lots of problem in their personal life. But then it was known that the matter was sorted out that time and the two were living together happily.
But someone from the sets of Ishqiya, Arshad was looking quite tensed. Also he was getting constant calls from Maria and they were having some heated arguments.
It seems that there is really something bothering between the two, but Arshad didn’t tell anything about that to anyone yet. Outsiders say that there are spats between the two as Arshad is not able to devote enough time to their family. This time it seems the matter is worse than the previous one.

Hema Malini’s dream project

2008-08-08T03:19:00.000-07:00

It is heard that Hema Malini a famous actress and also director is facing some problem. Hema Malini feels that Esha Deol’s career must boost up. And for that she can just do is to produce and direct a film that will present Esha Deol’s acting skills.
But still her dreams for her daughter have not been fulfilled yet. At times she has also avoided acting with her daughter in movies. She feels that people would compare them and that will not be good for Esha.
But when she saw that Esha’s career is festering she decided to cast with Esha in a film that PNC was to produce. But unluckily, that project never took off.
At that point Hema Malini decided to direct a film basically for Esha. As acting and directing would be tough, Hema decided to not act in the film. Instead Hema asked her friend and colleague Rekha to play Esha's mother while she would be satisfied just directing both the ladies.
It seems a year has passed now, but the project is still not implemented. It is known that the reason behind this is that Hema Malini is unable to find a male co-star for the film.
That means the dream project still is a dream!
