Hrithik Roshan has earned largest of the applause for papa Roshan’s films and it is no unknown fact that he strives really hard for his dad’s movie. Determined to put in all of his effort Hrithik will be helping his dad while scripting for the sequel for Krrish.

CASH - 7 days to go

CASH - 7 days to go


From today, we would start a special countdown for much awaited CASH which releases all over on 27th July.



Did you know that CASH also includes the elements of air, water and land woven intro the script? Well, the action theme of the film required to have three lead protagonists to make one of the most-impossible sounding theft come true on screen. This is the reason why each of them is shown to possess special skills that make them rule over air, water and land!

Hence Ajay Devgan, who leads the bunch, is shown to be at his best when he makes his way out of thin air (pun intended) through his stunts in the air. Expect all around fireworks here as Anubhav Sinha brings to screen some of the most unbelievable stunts ever filmed in Bollywood.

Same holds good for Zayed Khan who is at his charming best when traversing his way out of water, regardless of the trickiest of situations. Numerous action sequences featuring him riding on high speed boats should go down well with his boyish persona.

Last but not the least is the character of Ritiesh Deshmukh who could put the word road rage to shame. An expert when it comes to escaping on roads, he has his roller skates handy all the time to beat the best of the cars in the business.

Ajay, Zayed and Riteish in air, water and land along with beauties like Esha Deol, Dia Mirza and Shamita Shetty! Well, God couldn't have created a better paradise on earth!

Bipasha denies the lip lock with Ronaldo

Bipasha denies the lip lock with Ronaldo


br.jpgThis is what Bipasha had to say about her and Ronaldo’s lip lock news, “All the joy of that meeting with my favorite footballer has evaporated. For God’s sake, that photograph just cannot be taken seriously! Is that how newspapers define a lip-lock? I’m horrified. Suddenly, because of that photograph, I am internationally famous. But do I want fame at this cost? The photograph is not doctored, obviously somebody clicked us on a cellphone, but we were just dancing in a crowded disco. This is not a kiss! I cannot even say I was drunk and don’t know when and how this happened. Ronaldo had leaned over to say something in my ear, and the camera caught him at that inopportune moment, that’s what this is. I don’t need to explain my behaviour. I’m a free-spirited person. But I’m not footloose. It takes me a long time to become close to anyone. I’m certainly not some giddy-headed teenager who would get so carried away in Ronaldo’s company that I’d kiss him in public. Even if I was single, I would not get carried away at my first meeting with a 22-year-old boy, no matter how big a celebrity he is, to misbehave with him in public.”

Sonu Nigam alleges sexual harassment

Sonu Nigam alleges sexual harassment

sonu.jpgFilms like Page 3 have long shown page 3 people asking sexual favors from ambitious people who come for work. But this is the first time that news like this has come on news. Ace singer Sonu Nigam has accused famous film journalist Subhash K Jha of unreasonable sexual demands and harassment after he rejected the latter’s unreasonable advances. “He used to harass me with his homosexual desires to an extent that my family was affected. We all know that the film industry consists of many gays and homosexuals. Even I have many gay friends but they have never tried to come close to me because they know that I am not interested in it,” news website zeenews.com quoted the Sonu Nigam as saying. He also added, “In 2001, he proposed me and said that he loves me. He even misbehaved with me after getting drunk but later apologized in the morning. I even told him that you are Lataji’s friend and elder to me so please don’t talk such things with me as I’m not gay. But he still continued harassing me with his calls.” Jha has been writing harsh criticism on the singer for quite some time now and Sonu calls it deliberate attempt to defame him. Sure the industry is known to have such hidden secrets but not all time do they become public. At the outer sphere the industry portrays a happy and flourishing world!

Urvashi Sharma's daredevil stunt

Debutante Urvashi Sharma sure has lots of guts. This she proved during the shooting of Naqaab in Dubai. The actress insisted that she be allowed to do a stunt on a speed boat all by herself. After much debate, director duo Abbas-Mustan agreed to it the condition that Urvashi would drive the speedboat slow. However, when the cameras started rolling, off went Urvashi at breakneck speed. The unit members and co-actors watching her got really worried.

http://static.ibnlive.com/pix/sitepix/05_2007/naqaab.jpg

A source said: "It was dangerous and anything could have happened to her. Her speedboat could have collided with some other boat. Must say, Urvashi displayed such confidence. We were all awestruck."

The director duo just couldn't stop showering praises on their daredevil lady lead. "She has done an exceptional job. We are very impressed by her commitment", they beamed. Now, with such a reputation in her very first film finding her feet in Bollywood shouldn't be too big a task for the actress. The buzz is she has already signed an 8-film deal with TIPS. Way to go!

Bipasha underwent breast surgery!

Bipasha underwent breast surgery!

Cosmetic surgery is a common practice in Hollywood and now it seems to have hit Bollywood too with item girl Rakhi Sawant admitting that she had breast enhancement surgery. Well, now rumours claim that actress Bipasha Basu too has had breast enhancement surgery about four years back when she came into the limelight with her film Jism. However, sources claim that the doctor who performed the breast enhancement surgery has not received his payment of Rs.2.5 lakhs.


http://www.siliconeer.com/past_issues/2005/august2005.html http://www.siliconeer.com/past_issues/2006/september2006.html http://www.vgreets.com/downloads/wallpapers/wallpapers.htm

Sources claim that one Dr. Ashok Gupta who has done a number of cosmetic surgeries for celebrities and other high profile clients did the breast enhancement surgery for Bipasha in 2002. Supposedly, Bipasha registered under a fake name as she didn't want her identity to be disclosed. According to reports, Bipasha's bust line was enhanced by around three inches. However despite several attempts by Dr. Gupta and his staff to acquire the amount of Rs.2.5 lakhs that was charged for the surgery, Bipasha has not paid the amount even after almost four years. Dr. Gupta has tried contact the actress but in vain.

According to the medical staff that attended to Bipasha while she was hospitalized for the surgery, she has also done a cosmetic surgery to her ears. It is also believed that the same doctor performed item girl Rakhi Sawant's breast enhancement surgery. Sources claim Bipasha did the breast enhancement surgery for her role in the film Jism which was produced and directed by the Bhatts where she was seen playing an overtly sexy woman in a negative role. In her recent films, Bipasha, who is a model turned actress began putting on a lot of weight. However, recently the actress has taken to staying fit and has been sporting a slim and fit figure.

EMRAAN HASHMI'S AAWARAPAN WINS

Fortune always comes in disguise. If you recognize it, it will change your life forever and if you don't it will keep eluding you the rest of your life. It was during the making of 'Do Raste' that a young boy waited outside the vanity van of famous heroine Mumtaz. He was an assistant of director Raj Khosla and was deputed to bring Mumtaz to the sets once the shot was ready. The boy later went on to become one of the most sought after director of Hindi Cinema and nowadays gives break to many new talents. His name is Mahesh Bhatt. He introduces Shriya and Mrinalini to Hindi cinema in 'Aawarapan' and also gives a new lease of life to Emraan Hashmi who for sure would be taken seriously after this film.

His kisser boy image has done lots of damage to him, but for the first time he does something that he can be proud of - intense acting. You can also see Shaad (nephew of Mumtaz) who got his first chance of acting in 'Woh Lamhe' courtesy Mumtaz who just mentioned his name to Mahesh Bhatt and then he came to Vishesh Films for the shooting of his first film.

Aawarapan' was initially supposed to be an autobiographical film from Mahesh Bhatt's bastion, but seeing the film it does not seem to be so. This is a typical masala film from Hindi cinema but it is the treatment of the story that leaves you spellbound. The story of 'Aawarapan' may not offer you something very extraordinary but Mohit Suri does make it a treat to watch. The canvas that he has chosen to depict a story of mistrust, betrayal and search for love, leaves you on a very different level. Mohit Suri is indeed making his presence felt very fast. He has established himself as a director to watch out for.
