Bipasha upset by Randeep's rash driving

Mumbai, Contrary to the reports published, Bipasha Basu says she is angry with Randeep Hooda for driving rashly and scaring the daylights out of her.

Randeep collided with Bipasha and John Abraham earlier this week when he drove his car at top speed inside Nitin Desai's studio in Karjat. While Bipasha and John were shooting for Vivek Agnihotri's "Goal" there, Randeep went to shoot for Ketan Mehta's "Rang Rasiya".

"And then they write that I was admiring the man's driving! Am I mad to admire such rash driving? To begin with, I don't know Randeep at all. Someone drove rashly, scaring the hell out of me, John and our respective staff," Bipasha told IANS.

"At the time it happened, we had no clue where that came from. We came to know later who it was. At that time I was very angry with the person driving the car, not admiring him, as reported in a daily."

Bipasha says that she has no fondness for reckless drivers.

"I'm not too fond of drivers who use the roads like their personal kingdom. I don't think it's right to drive like crazy, especially in a crowded place where people are shooting a film. I think anyone who does so should apologise."

Randeep isn't in a mood to oblige.

After some 'masti', Indra Kumar back with 'dhamaal'

After some 'masti', Indra Kumar back with 'dhamaal'

Indra Kumar is one film maker who has rarely missed making a mark in any of the films he has directed. In fact he has moved on as per the changing times, as witnessed in MASTI which was an out and out laugh riot based on male bonding. Agreed that he couldn't create the same magic in atrocious PYAARE MOHAN but he looks all set to redeem himself with DHAMAAL which is finally getting ready to hit the marquee. After GOLMAAL, this is yet another film which has as many as five main protagonists. While Sanjay Dutt leads from the front, Arshad Warsi, Ritesh Deshmukh, Javed Jaffrey and Aashish Chaudhary form the brat pack. The film is also considered to be special since it doesn't have a single leading lady. DHAMAAL is looking at a September release.

Anupam Kher starrer BUDDHA MAR GAYA on August 17

Comedies continue to be made in dozens in Bollywood.

While CASH has already achieved a super-hit status for itself in the first week itself, there are many more comedies in months to come. One such film is Rahul Rawail's BUDDHA MAR GAYA which has been completed in record time and is now aiming at an August 17 release.

The film has an interesting plot of a dead man being kept away from being cremated due to some vested interests of his near and dear ones. This leads to innumerous hilarious situations as the dead man [played by Anupam Kher] is projected as someone who is alive and kicking. The partners in crime? Om Puri, Rakhi Sawant, Ranvir Shorey, Mukesh Tiwari and Murli Sharma.

Promotion of BUDDHA MAR GAYA has been kick started with a bang and if the first look is any indication, one can be rest assured that the film is going to be yet another laugh riot in the offering.

Sanjay Dutt gets Jail for 6 years

Sanjay Dutt gets Jail for 6 years

The axe has struck on Sanjay Dutt! The court has announced six years Rigorous Imprisonment to Sanjay Dutt for illegal possession of weapons in the 1993 blasts. The verdict by Judge PD Kode came as a shock to the actor and all his supporters.

Bollywood believes that the court was harsh on the actor. Though the actor was acquitted on terrorism accusations three months back, this verdict was real shock for Sanjay Dutt. The actor can still ask Supreme Court’s intervention in the case. Let us hope Sanju baba seeks the apex court’s help and gets acquitted once and for all.
