Hattrick- Shahid Kapoor's three back to back hits

Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor sure has reason to celebrate.

And that's why.. Shahid, who rarely sticks around at parties, was seen having a ball of a time till wee hours at a bash thrown by producer Ramesh Taurani.

Taurani threw an impromptu informal get together at his home recently. It was the producer's way of thanking the cast and crew of Kismat Konnection for giving their best for the film that had opened to full houses in all multiplexes and theatres. The party was on in full swing when Ahmed Khan, to add some more josh to the bash, told the DJ to play the Kismat Konnection songs.

And the crowd just went berserk when the DJ played the hit Aye paapi number. It was here that the unit members attempted to pull Shahid on to the dance floor but the shy Shahid refused. Ahmed Khan intervened and dragged Shahid who finally relented. Ahmed danced with Shahid initially. But as Shahid began getting more and more engrossed in the Justin Timberlake dance steps, Ahmed quietly walked out leaving Shahid to himself. And boy! Shahid was so absorbed that he did not even notice Ahmed's absence and had the entire audience in attention.

Producer Ramesh Taurani confirmed that Shahid did dance to Aye paapi at the informal do held at his place. "Shahid is not a party person. He comes like a breeze and whisks away like breeze. But at this bash he was the there till the very end. Shahid enjoyed dancing to the Aye paapi number."

With lady luck showering her affection, Shahid is enjoying every bit of his success. After all he is the only actor to have had three back-to-back hits viz, Vivah, Jab We Met and now Kismat Konnection. Shahid ki to kismet khul gayi yaar! What say!

Maan Gaye Moghall-E-Azam release postponed?

Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam

The famous industry statement, 'Fortunes change every Friday' holds perfectly true in case of Mallika Sherawat. She was flying high almost taking it for granted that her new release Ugly Aur Pagli having her in solo lead would become a hit at the box office. But all her hopes came crashing down on the release date itself when the film opened poorly. Its target audience, the multiplex going public gave the film a complete cold shoulder. The makers of her next release, Maan Gaye Moghall-E-Azam, had not finalised the price deal for selling their film but had already gone ahead in announcing 22nd August as their film's release date. They were expecting Ugly Aur Pagli to do well so that they could extract better terms and conditions from distributors and make more profit but that was not meant to be. They are left cursing their luck as suddenly with the flopping of Ugly Aur Pagli, MGMA is no longer looking exciting for buyers. The price offered to the makers of MGMA is very low now and perhaps they might have to end up compromising on what is being offered. Had they sold off their film before the release of Ugly Aur Pagli they would have got a much better price. But greed knows no bounds in Bollywood. There are chances now that the film might get postponed by one week.

As also the multiplexes were in a fix as to where can they slot the upcoming Mallika starrer as on the same date (22nd Aug) more films of varied genres such as C-Kkompany, Mumbai Meri Jaan and Phoonk are releasing too! Plus there is expected a huge response to films like Singh Is Kinng, Bachna Ae Haseeno and God Tussi Great Ho, all of which big budget extravaganzas.

Now as Shahid and Ken Ghosh have come for the third time together Shahid has ended up injuring himself one more time on the sets of their latest film together tentatively titled, Yahoo. The makers are already rejoicing saying an injury on the sets for Shahid's film directed by Ken Ghosh is definately a lucky sign! When Shahid got injured for the first time on Ken's film's sets his film Ishq Vishq went on to become a super hit. Second time, he got Kareena Kapoor as a girl friend and now as he has completed his hat-trick of getting injured the success of this film is bound to happen!
