Aishwarya Rai in a Soft Porn controversy.

Of all the murky controversies Aishwarya Rai has been dragged in, the latest one where her name has been
used as the title of a soft porn movie, is making her fume and frown. The lissome beauty’s name
that has been a part of many renowned lists has now been used in the title of a C-grade
film called ‘Aishwarya- Based On True Rumours’.

What’s in a name? It’s often asked. Apparently, there is enough for Ash to see red.
Though the plot of the story is not known, the posters, which shows a woman in her
essentials getting intimate with a man, have been enough to irk the stunning beauty.

Though the Bachchan family has chosen to stay mum on the issue, Aishwarya’s spokesperson told a news daily,
“ People have brought this to our notice and she thinks it’s disgusting. How can people stoop to such disgraceful levels
to use a senior actresses respected name for such trash? We are not taking action because we think that it does
not even deserve that much attention."

Going into flashback, this isn’t the first time that a celebrity’s name has been used in such a sleazy manner.
A few years back, Bipasha too was hit by such a controversy. The flick named ‘Bipasha- The Black Beauty’
was made with a Bips look alike. The plot of the film showed as to how a girl after being filmed
having sex ends up becoming a sex worker.

Akshay Kumar may be arrested by police

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 03:00:00 +0000

Troubles are far from over for Akshay and his wife Twinkle Khanna . The couple kicked up a controversy after Twinkle unbuttoned Akshay’s jeans during the Lakme Fashion Week, prompting social activist Anil Nair to file a complaint against the couple and the show’s organisers for obscenity in public.

Now, reports have it that the Mumbai police might arrest Akshay, Twinkle and the organizers.
We’ll make the arrests soon and then take their statements,” Assistant Commissioner of Police Arvind Mahabdi is quoted as saying by HT.

Akshay’s spokesperson, however, said they haven’t yet received any summon from the police.

Though the charges put on Akshay and Twinkle are bailable but if the couple is found guilty in the court of law they may have to spend some time behind bars. However, that seems very unlikely at this stage, even though pressure is building up from more fronts.

An advocate in Meerut has filed a case in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Rajesh Kumar against the star couple's ‘unbutton act’ during LFW. The case will come up for hearing next week.

SRK feels he is less intelligent than Aamir

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 02:57:00 +0000

SRK is always known to make people laugh with his jokes, his humour is not only directed at others but the dimpled actor also mocks himself for entertaining others. When the power Khans of the industry SRK and Aamir came together for a meeting with Mulitplex owners, SRK was at his usual witty best.

When the media asked weather the two Khans will be seen together soon, he replied, “It’s nice to sit on the podium together, it’ll be nice to sit in a car together, it’ll even be nice to do a film together.”
When a journalist asked SRK weather he got together with Aamir only for this cause, he said, “We’re mature, intelligent people, I’m a little less intelligent than Aamir, but our camaraderie is really a non-issue right now. There are bigger things that need attention.”

Sonam has no rules for SRK

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 02:57:00 +0000

Sonam Kapoor is two films old and is now associated with meaninful flicks and not commercial flick, while she rocked in Saawariya she did a great job in Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra’s Delhi 6 and now she is eager to work with King Khan SRK.

She says,� “He is another man for whom I will be so very willing to ignore my rule book. I would be more than happy to go ahead and sign a film if Shah Rukh happens to be my hero.”
“There are exceptions that one makes about the size and content of the role when it comes to working with legendary actors; De Niro and Shah Rukh just fit the bill.”
However her rule books comes into consideration if she has to work with others, she says, “I don’t intend to do films where all I am required to do is to dance in four songs and enact a couple of emotional scenes. By no means am I looking at that kind of cinema.”

Preity: IPL to get bigger

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 02:56:00 +0000

Preity Zinta is one of the owners of IPL team King XI Punjab, who were the runner ups last season is pretty excited about the about IPL’s move to South Africa. Check out her interview below:

Was it a shock to you when the IPL was relocated to South Africa?

The option was to either have it outside India or not at all. No one is happy to shift from home ground. That thrill of playing across our own country at domestic tournaments is gone. Going to various cities with the matches is a high. However, people can still watch it on TV. That’s still there.

But an Indian event shifted to South Africa?

I know. But we’ve to be optimistic. Last year when the IPL started everyone thought it would flop. It became the biggest hit ever. Likewise the shift to South Africa could make the IPL bigger. What else can I do except be hopeful?

But it’s being translocated to a new culture and environment?

Of course, it is! But what can we do? I’ve always believed whatever happens in life happens for the best. The timing of the IPL crisis was unfortunate. My most challenging film, ‘Heaven On Earth’, is on release. I’d have liked more time nurturing it. You know I did ‘Heaven On Earth’ for myself. Lots of times I’ve done things for this reason and that. But this time it was entirely for me. I just needed to connect more with my inner self. This film made me do that.

Tell me about your preparation for the role.

I’ve worked quite a lot with battered women. I’ve studied so many kinds of mental disorders. Domestic violence comes much after other forms of disorder. Every scene in ‘Heaven On Earth’ rings true. I had a hundred notions on how to play the role. But when I met abused women I decided it has to be very real. I’m very proud of it. Let’s see how audiences in India react.

So the IPL moving out of India is like uprooting a national event?

Exactly. It’s like asking an actor to perform in a theatre where nobody knows him. But we’ll make sure that the quality and profile of the game don’t change. Only two percent of the audience watches the game in a stadium. Most of them watch the game on television.

But there’s that vibe when the game happens on home ground. That spirit can’t be captured anywhere. Having said that I don’t want to sound whiny and petty. I want to thank South Africa for agreeing to host the IPL games. They’ve gone out of their way to accommodate us, flung their fields open to us. I think South Africa will make a beautiful home for the games.

Wasn’t the choice between South Africa and England?

Yes, there were several options. But it finally came down to choosing between those two countries. We didn’t want to go into a place where there was too much rain. I think South Africa will be fun. Who knows, they might even allow me to play. That’s my secret fantasy. Miracles do happen, you know.

Is it just elections that ousted IPL from India. Or was there a security scare after what happened to the Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan?

I refuse to believe India is scared about the security. Does the country shut down because we can’t get enough security? I think we need to vote even more carefully. We must put proper people in places of power. I don’t think we should vote for anyone who has got criminal records. See their track records and then vote.

How will you be ready with the IPL in South Africa in time?

We Indians don’t only exist in chaos. We thrive in it. Even last year when IPL happened for the first time we grappled with all odds. I know I’m going to have sleepless nights. But that’s a different story. I can’t pretend I’m not disappointed by the relocation. But South Africa is a terrific country.

I’ll have lots to do besides cricket. In Punjab it was difficult for me to move out. Preity Zinta will have a blast shopping in South Africa. Preity Zinta, the team owner, is worried. We’ve no players from South Africa. Neither does Shah Rukh (Khan).

Are the boys demoralized by the relocation?

Their choice was between no IPL and IPL in South Africa.

Arjun Rampal gifts saree to Nicole Kidman

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 02:51:00 +0000

Arjun Rampal recently shot for an ad with Hollywood star Nicole Kidman and gifted her a beautiful saree designed by ace Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani when she was about to leave.

A source says,”The shoot was very hectic due to Nicole and Arjuns already busy schedule. Nicole initially didnt know that Arjun was a Bollywood star till she saw fans asking for his autographs and taking pictures. Since they had very little time due to the packed schedule, Nicole, who wanted to shop, barely got the chance to do so. Realising this, Arjun asked his wife Meher to get her a sari designed by Tarun Tahiliani. It was a sheer Italian metallic chiffon with tiny swarovski sprinkled on it, a typical Tarun sari.”
Arjun also confirmed this news,”Yes, it is true and Nicole loved it and was very happy about it. She is a complete professional and we did a very good commercial together.”

We are ordinary people. Big B

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:16:00 +0000

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan wants to dispel myths about his "high and mighty" image, saying that he would prefer to be known just as the son of Teji and Harivansh Rai Bachchan.

"I never believed that I was special. I am just blessed. I would like to be known as the son of my father Harivansh Rai Bachchan and mother Teji Bachchan. I respect my parents for bringing me up the way I am," Bachchan said while speaking at the Jaipur Literature Festival Friday.

The superstar, who has given the country the maximum number of hits and blockbusters like "Zanzeer", "Deewaar" and "Don", said he has "never consciously tried to project my star image. It is an epithet created by the media."

"I have not contributed to the fact that I am a star. My son Abhishek and I want to do away with the word star. We are ordinary folks. My relationship with my son is personal and domesticated. Even before Abhishek was born, I had made up my mind that if I ever had a son he would be my friend. Abhishek is as balanced and down-to-earth by nature as I would expect anyone from our family to be.

"While acting, we do not follow any particular routine or concepts - we both leave it to the director. In fact, Abhishek had a very normal upbringing. Jaya and I have never tried to do anything special for him. We did not produce any movie to secure him a toehold in the industry. He has never felt propped up - all that he has done has been on his own," Bachchan said.

Further listing the virtues of his son, Bachchan said Abhishek possesses sharp powers of observation and reaction.

The audience - numbering around 500 - comprised over 165 writers, an equal number of delegates and an army of media representatives both from home and abroad.

Bachchan feels the love of millions of Indians has helped him become the "phenomenon" that he is today.

"The love and affection of the people of the country, my fans who prayed for me each time I fell sick, have helped sustain my journey over the last four decades that began in 1969," said Bachchan.

The actor, who has worked with almost every generation of directors in the country - from Prakash Mehra, Ramesh Sippy, Manmohan Desai, Yash Chopra to Tinu Anand and the youngsters like R. Balakrishna and Sujoy Ghoshe, says he has grown up watching Dilip Kumar and Waheeda Rehman.

"I was their fan and also loved watching Guru Dutt movies. 'Kagaz ke Phool' starring Guru Dutt was my favourite. Now that I have an opportunity to speak about all the directors I have worked with, I hope one of the youngsters in Mumbai grows up to be a Dilip Kumar or Guru Dutt," he said.

Father Harivansh Rai still remains the star's obsession.

"I am not an avid reader, but now whenever I have time to spare, I read my father's poetry and his autobiography. I try to bring out snippets from his works in my blog. And in the process I learn more about my father," he said.

The superstar, who recited "extracts" from his father's seminal work "Madhushala", signed off with a message for the audience: "Yadi man ka ho to accha, agar man ka na ho to aur bhi accha. (If things go the way you want, it is good. And if it does not, it is better)."

"I did my first film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and my second film 'Delhi-6' is with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. These are big names and I am on top of the world. I am not at all an underdog. I am Anil Kapoor's daughter. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth,” Sonam told reporters here Friday.

Sonam was speaking at a press conference for the 54th Idea Filmfare Awards 2008. She was here to promote her forthcoming film "Delhi-6", releasing next month.

Sonam maintained that though “Saawariya”, which was released in 2007, failed to click at the box office, it brought her critical acclaim and she “got whatever she needed from the film”.

The 23-year-old actress stressed that she is very much in the league of young actors like her "Saawariya" co-star Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, who debuted same year with hit movie "Om Shanti Om".

In fact, Deepika walked away with the Filmfare award for best female debut last year.

“Awards are important and it was important for me to win one for 'Saawariya'. I was quite upset that I didn't get the award,” she said.

Sonam, who has recently signed a comic caper “Come On Pappu” with Akshay Kumar, finds comparison with Deepika unfair.

“I can't compare myself with Deepika. She is doing mostly commercial roles and I am not. She is signing more films, but I want to do one film at a time. It takes nearly a year for a film to be made and that's why I am being seen lesser than her,” said Sonam.

Sanjay Dutt In Luck

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:10:00 +0000

A thin handle bar moustache, a small goatee and three triangular side-burns on each cheek - that's Sanjay Dutt's new look for Soham Shah's forthcoming movie "Luck". The actor is very happy with the look.

"Soham Shah is a very talented filmmaker and he has a very creative outlook. We both sat and discussed the look and I'm very happy that Hakim Aalim has styled me exactly as we envisioned," said Sanjay.

Celebrity stylist Aalim gave him this new look on Monday and is pretty satisfied with his work.

“This is one of Sanju's (Sanjay) most daring and dashing looks. It's a very different side-lock with three triangles adjacent to each other. He can carry off anything larger than life. He is looking really cool and sexy and will set a new trend,” Aalim said.

Dhilin Mehta is producing “Luck” under his banner Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. It is the launch vehicle of Kamal Haasan's daughter Shruti and also stars Imran Khan, Mithun Chakraborthy, Danny Denzongpa, and Ravi Kishan.

The entire team has just left for a 10-day schedule to Cape Town.

'Slumdog...' title not offensive

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:08:00 +0000

Simon Beaufoy, the screenplay writer of Danny Boyle's Golden Globe winning “Slumdog Millionaire” Wednesday said the title of the film was only a “metaphor”.

"There was absolutely no sense I wanted to insult anybody. I just liked the idea of the metaphor (Slumdog)," Beaufoy told reporters here.

“As a part of my research, I was wandering in the slums. I was very intrigued by the cats and dogs wandering around there, who dared to be asleep in the sunshine. Though they do look carefree from the outside, they are watching everything from the rims of their eyes,” he said.

“It is like somebody who is apparently not worthy of an existence but is actually looking at everything and eyeing everything out - just like the boy in the game show who knows everything not through intelligence but through experience. So, I just made up the word,” he added.

Loveleen Tandon, the film's co-director, echoed the same sentiment and said: “ 'Slumdog' is the way the protagonist of the film is referred to. It's actually an English translation of the way we refer to a man from the street or a slum."

“He's looked upon as someone who wants nothing, and in order to say that, it's expressed in this kind of harsh way to make him feel like nothing. It's not that the film is trying to say that a man living in the slums is a dog,” she explained.

Patna-based social worker Tapeshwar Vishwakarma, general secretary of the Jhuggi Jhonpdi Samyukta Sangharsh Samiti, earlier dragged "Slumdog Millionaire" to court, contending that the sensibilities of the slum dwellers have been offended by the movie title.

“I don't feel I've written a film about poverty. That never occurred to me. What I genuinely felt in my heart was the (slum) people's massive spirit and massive determination to overcome terrible troubles. That's how I approached it. 'Slumdog Millionaire' is a fairytale,” said Beaufoy, who was here with Boyle, producer Christian Colson and the main cast of the movie.

Set in Mumbai, the film is about a slum boy who wins a TV quiz show and stars debutante Dev Patel, Frieda Pinto, Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan. The film has bagged four Golden Globe awards and 11 BAFTA nominations.

Having already raked in $43 million at the US box office and making a mark in the US Top 10, it is releasing in India Jan 23.

SRK Funds Two Orphans

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:19:00 +0000

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has committed to bear all the expenses for the treatment of two Kashmiri orphan children who suffered severe burns during a terrorist grenade attack in Srinagar, doctors said Tuesday.

"He has made it clear - 'no limits' - to the expenses for treating Mudassar and Amina," Ali Irani, the head of department, physiotheraphy & sports medicine at Nanavati Hospital, Vile Parle, told IANS.

A little over two months ago, the home of the two kids in Jammu and Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar was attacked by terrorists. Mudassar and Amina's parents were killed in the grenade attack, while the children suffered burn injuries.

The children suffered some grenade shrapnel injuries and severe - more than 30 percent - burn injuries and they were shifted to a local hospital in Srinagar, Irani, a physiotherapist, said.

When Irani visited the hospital under the auspices of the Indian Association of Physiotherapists, his attention was drawn to their plight.

In turn, Irani suggested that they could be shifted to Mumbai for getting the best treatment, at the Nanavati Hospital - where the children were brought to in December.

Although it would have been easy to get completely free treatment from any doctors, there would be many other expenses of the children to be handled, and Irani requested Shah Rukh Khan for help.

Not only did Shah Rukh readily agree to the suggestion but he also visited the two orphans at the hospital and has promised to take them to his home in Bandra to play with his children, Aryan and Suhana.

"Mudassar suffered severe burns on his face, while Amina's arms and hand have been burnt - but there will not be permanent damage," Irani said.

The two children have already undergone four surgeries which were performed by Atul Shah and L. Dhami - "We don't know how many more surgeries they will required or when they can be discharged," Irani said.

This is not the first time that 44-year-old actor has contributed to a noble cause - according to Irani, he has been doing it for nearly the past nine years.

"He has requested that this must be kept completely confidential, but the information somehow leaked out. There is no count of the number of children that he has helped so far," Irani said.

A few years ago, Shah Rukh had donated Rs.5 million (Rs.50 lakhs) to the children's ward of the hospital in memory of his mother, Lateef Fatima Khan, who died 18 years ago.

Luck By Chance - Juhi

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:17:00 +0000

Juhi Chawla has coloured her hair blonde for her role in Zoya Akhtar's directorial debut "Luck By Chance".

Juhi, last seen in Ravi Chopra's "Bhootnath", will play veteran actor Rishi Kapoor's wife in the film.

"Playing Minty was so much fun! And moreover I got to colour my hair blonde, which was something I had never done before," said Juhi.

"When Zoya offered me the role I was extremely thrilled. Even though I was told it was not a big role, I didn't mind as it was different from all the other characters I have played before, and that was the most exciting part," she added.

"Luck By Chance", releasing Jan 30, stars Farhan Akhtar and Konkona Sen Sharma and has a much-hyped guest appearance by superstar Hrithik Roshan.

Doctorate to Honour Dilip Kumar by Urdu University

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:13:00 +0000

Who will be Benegal's Carmen?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:06:00 +0000

Now that Shyam Benegal has decided to revive his costliest project "Chamki", a desi version of French musician Georges Bizet's 1875 opera "Carmen", the question is who will play the title role of a free-spirited fiery-tempered gypsy in the movie?

According to sources, Priyanka Chopra more than Kareena Kapoor is the natural choice to play Chamki since the role requires a trained dancer.

When contacted, Priyanka told IANS that she was open to the offer. "But I read the script ages ago. The whole project now has to be evaluated afresh. And who wouldn't want to work with Shyam Benegal?"

"Chamki" has been pending for a while. Earlier, the project was with Sanjay Gupta. Now, Big Pictures is producing the film.

In the past too, both Priyanka and Kareena were approached for "Chamki", but they opted out for various reasons.

"Kareena was excited to begin with. She was supremely charged by the role and what Benegal had done with her sister Karisma in 'Zubeidaa'. But then she opted out - as she often does from offbeat challenges like Deepa Mehta's 'Water' and Rituparno Ghosh's 'Raincoat' - pleading it was too early for her to attempt something so unconventional," said a source close to the project.

"Then came Priyanka who was quite kicked about the part, but she and the film's then producer Sanjay Gupta had a fallout after Priyanka said no to his 'Musafir'. The 'Chamki' role then went to Urmila Matondkar, who had monetary issues with the producer."

With the film changing producers, it is understood that money is no longer an issue.

While Priyanka is still interested in the project, Kareena's views were not yet known.

"Kareena continues to have reservations about non-mainstream cinema. Barring Pritish Nandy Communications' 'Chameli', she has never returned to non-mainstream cinema," said the source.

'Chamki', set in Rajasthan, is being re-designed as a big broad epic musical with choreography and lavish songs by Javed Akhtar and A.R. Rahman.

"No expense will be spared to make 'Chamki' a big blockbuster," added the source.
