Anushka Sharma & Ranveer Singh celebrate New Year event togetherAnushka Sharma & Ranveer Singh celebrate New Year event together: Rumoured to be an item, hot couple Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma had a blast on New Year's eve, TOI has learned.

The couple (they categorically deny seeing each other, much like Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra) spent their first New Year together partying the entire night and hooking up with common friends. After the exhaustive bonding session, Ranveer dropped Anushka to her place before heading to his house in Bandra. We hear Anushka's mother is fond of Ranveer and was happy that her girl was with the star in the making because he is sensible and caring.

A source close to both actors said, "The two were inseparable. Seeing their chemistry, we are wondering about the exact nature of their relationship. On 31st, they were working on the script of an awards show that they are hosting. After that, they went to director Shaad Ali's residence and made a grand entry. Throughout the night, Ranveer and Anushka did not leave each other. It was obvious that they wanted to spend time together and so when they were leaving, no one made a scene." Ranveer could not be contacted, but Anushka's spokesperson said, "They are great friends and do hang out together... so basically no one should read between the lines and look at this more than required."

Vidya Balan parades her Baby Bump in newfangled upcoming motion picture kahaani

http://bollywood101.com/userfiles/2011/1/4/images/Vidya-Balan-parades-her-Bab.jpg

Bump in newfangled upcoming motion picture kahaani: Vidya Balan will be soon seen with a baby bump in a forthcoming film, ‘Kahaani’. The film directed by Sujoy Ghosh has Vidya Balan playing the role of a pregnant woman. The most interesting part is that Vidya will be seen with the bump not just in a scene or two but throughout the film. The film is about a journey of a lady who is six months pregnant and who reaches Kolkata searching for her husband. Known to be a perfectionist, Vidya is known to live the character she plays on screen. So sporting a baby bump and being comfortable with the look is all a part of the professional regime that the actress follows. She has earlier played mother to a baby in Sajid Khan’s ‘Heyy Baby’.

Director Sujoy Ghosh, is full of praises for the gifted actress for carrying off the role so effortlessly. He said that he had written the script with Vidya in mind and none other than Vidya could have portrayed the character so well. “It's the story of a woman who's six months pregnant and her journey. I had written the script keeping Vidya in mind. I wouldn't have made the film without her. For me she's a perfectionist who has beautifully brought the character alive,” said the director.

Sonakshi Sinha join Salman Khan's new kids show

Sonakshi Sinha join Salman Khan's new kids showSonakshi Sinha join Salman Khan's new kids show: Salman Khan is well known for promoting new talents, be it the new kid on the block Sonakshi Sinha, or earlier Katrina Kaif and Zarine Khan. But as luck would have it the actresses who’ve made their debut opposite Salman failed to make a mark in the industry. Though Salman prompted Kaif but she didn’t start her film career opposite her and it was long time before she got paired opposite Khan. On the other hand it now seems Sonakshi Sinha is the only lady so far who has broke out of the Salman Khan jinx.

The 23 year old actress is being flooded with offers and if the buzz is to be believed she’ll be bagging nothing less than a crore for her films. Already her kitty is full with Shirish Kunder’s next project ‘Joker’ opposite Akshay Kumar. In spite of refusing to do the baring acts she has bagged a meaty role in the sequel ‘Race 2’ and it is believe that the director duo Abbas – Mustan preferred Sonakshi over Kareena. Next is an action-comedy opposite mentor Salman Khan in ‘Kick’ and another project with the Khan directed by Prabhu Deva.

Katrina-Abhishek reunite for a comedy flick…

Katrina Kaif did show her potential at doing comedy in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Now, Kats will be seen in another laughathon in director Rajkumar Santoshi next.

Katrina will be paired with Abhishek Bachchan thereby putting to rest all rumours about Katrina being reluctant to work with Junior B. After Sarkar, Katrina was hoping to do an all-out romantic flick with Abhi.

Says Kaif, “I had done one of my earliest films (Sarkar) with Abhishek. And it was great fun. Somehow subsequent projects didn’t work out. I had decided whenever I work with him again, it would be in an out-and-out romantic subject.”

Director Sanoshi penned the script keeping Abhishek in mind. He thinks the actor has a “great comic potential” that still needs to be tapped. This would also be Santoshi’s first film with Abhishek.

Says Santoshi, “In him, I see great-untapped potential and a hunger to excel. There’s a very mischievous side to his personality, which has not been tapped in any film”

The untitled film will be produced by Santoshi and will go on the floors early next year.

Salman Khan imitated again….

Salman Khan is yet again imitated in Aamir Khan’s upcoming film Dhobi Ghat. Let me tell you, this is not the first time. Salman has been imitated in in Jaane Tu… and Peepli Live too. And now, Dhobi Ghat will have Pratik wearing Sallu’s trademark bracelet and is also obsessed about body building. Well, Pratik’s character is a dhobi who wants to be an actor.

Despite all this, Aamir’s love for Salman is well known in the industry they are the best of friends. According to a source, “Aamir Khan loves Salman as a friend and his films are a proof of that. Many of Aamir’s films have some element of Salman Khan in them. And now, Pratik’s character in Dhobi Ghat is shown to be a Salman Khan fan. Pratik is seen wearing the famous Salman Khan bracelet.

He loves working out to build a body like Salman’s and he wants to become an actor like him. Aamir insisted that the character be Salman’s fan probably to make up for having mocked him in Jaane Tu… in the Pappu can’t dance saala song. So, Aamir suggested to Kiran that the posters of the film should also highlight this so it looks authentic on Pratik’s character.”

Kiran Rao confirms, “Yes, Aamir suggested Salman. Pratik’s character hails from a different city and is a part-time dhobi and a wannabe actor. He is into body-building and thinks Salman is a cool dude.”

The film is scheduled for release in cinemas on 21 January 2011.

Vidya Balan: I reveled in trying an agamic individual

Vidya Balan: I reveled in trying an agamic individualVidya Balan: I reveled in trying an agamic individual: Now that her forthcoming film No One Killed Jessica is due to release, Vidya Balan is all set to sit back and await the audience’s reaction to her deglam role. Having played characters with depth (Ishqiya and Paa), this role gives Vidya a chance to display her histrionics without any fancy costumes or looks.

The actress says, “I really enjoyed playing an asexual person. I have worn the most uninteresting clothes and my make-up was done in minimum time. I normally take more time to dress up in my personal life than the time I took to get ready to play this character. It was a joy ride as my hairdresser would just tie my hair in a ponytail, the make-up guy would do the base… and I would be ready. In a way, the look helped me because as soon as I put on those oversized, shapeless clothes, I felt that it was not me; it took me into Sabrina, who was a very regular girl confronted with a life-altering moment.”

Vidya is now looking forward to The Dirty Picture. but admits, “I don’t know how I will prepare myself but I know (director) Milan Luthria knows how to present me in that role.

“Deepika and I were never friends. It was just instant chemistry on the show. We have not kept in touch since then. Right now, I am in Chandigarh shooting for Mausam, and god only knows where she is.”

The actor, who is now shooting with actor Shahid Kapoor for Mausam, is all praises for her him. “Shahid is a Delhi boy settled in Mumbai, and he has taken the best from both the cities.”

Sonam says she joined Bollywood with a “bucket list of what i will not do”. One of her main commandments is that she will never dance at a wedding for money. “I can’t do it. I don’t judge actors who do, but I can never do it,” she says.

Bollywood is Making Sequel of More then 10 Films in 2011

Bollywood is Making Sequel of More then 10 Films in 2011, Hollywood has been making a killing on sequels, having discovered the secret of exploiting a franchise to the fullest. Bollywood woke up to the trick late. “With the recent paucity of good scripts and screen writers, the Hindi film industry is now in a sequel mode,” says a trade source. Reports say at least a dozen sequels are in the pipeline and most are up for release in 2011/2012

Here’s a sample: Farhan Akhtar’s “ Don-2″ with Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra will release on December 23, 2011; Indra Kumar is making “Double Dhamaal” with Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi and has plans to follow it up with “Masti-2″ with Vivek Oberoi. Rakesh Roshan will start to shoot for “Krishh-3″ in late 2011 and Ekta Kapoor plans to shoot “Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai-2″ and “Kya Kool Hai Hum-2″ with Tusshar Kapoor.

While many think paucity of good stories is responsible for the sudden sequel rush, leading screen writer Rajat Arora, who wrote the first part of “Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai”, says sequels are here to stay. “They are safe bets at the box office and make perfect business sense. It is proven in cases like ‘Munnabhai’ and ‘Golmaal’ that sometimes the sequels are more popular than even the first part,” Arora says. He believes the advantage of a sequel is that there is a direct audience connect with the film, therefore marketing the film becomes easier. “Golmaal-3 broke records, as did ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’,” he says.

Rohit Shetty also says that the pressure on him to keep the Golmaal series alive is tremendous. “And as such, I will follow it till its natural conclusion,” he says. Raj Kumar Hirani had actually planned to put his “Munnabhai chale Amrika” on the back burner. “I felt as if I was done with the Munnabhai series,” confesses Hirani. “However, public demand for this franchise is so high that wherever I travel in the world, the first question I am asked is: when is the next Munnabhai happening? Munna and Circuit have left indelible marks in the memories of people.”

It is because of this impact that Hirani and his writer Abhijat Joshi are trying to lock the script for “Munnabhai-3″. Tarun Mansukhani, who is writing “Dostana-2″ with Abhishek, John and Katrina has had to postpone his film twice because “the second half is still lying unfinished”. But there is tremendous pressure on him not to abandon the sequel because it is one of the most anticipated films in the trade. Putting things in perfect perspective as far as this sequel frenzy goes, Tanuj Garg, CEO Balaji Motion Pictures, says: “Hollywood has made a living milking its franchises. There’s nothing wrong with the sequel phenomenon, per se, except that the trend should not put the original stories on hold. We need to be additionally conscious of a potential burnout with audiences if overdone.”

Shedding clothes is a public demand – Tanushree Dutta


tanushree dutta bikini pic 199x239 Bollywood bombshell Tanushree Dutta feels that actresses are asked to shed inhibitions in front of the camera mainly to cater to the public demand and not because the script demands it.
“Actually, when people come to you with the line that shedding of inhibitions is the demand of a particular screen role, they are actually pandering to the public demand. Words like demand of the role or the character are all trash,” Tanushree told IANS in an interview.
Asked whether she is ready to shed clothes if the character required that, Dutta said: “In Bollywood, people have been making movies for more than half a century and they are made in such a way that you need not shed off all your inhibitions. I would really draw the line. I am no more a newcomer in Bollywood.”
Tanushree had won the Femina Miss India Universe title in 2004, and made her entry into Bollywood in 2005 with the hit film “Aashiq Banaya Aapne”. She starred in “Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets” the same year, and came to be considered one of tinsel town’s dark horses.
But she failed to live up to the initial expectations of her fans as most of her films except “Dhol” and “Bhagam Bhag” bombed at the box office.
Asked about the fate of most of her films, the former beauty queen said: “To what extent a film works is beyond me. My first film ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’ did wonders at the box office. Then ‘Chocolate’ was also quite popular, but it didn’t have the same effect as the first one.
“I just look at my work and of course it’s my responsibility to sign good films so as to make sure that people come to watch. But sometimes there are lots of things which are not in our hands. I always try to do the best I can. Some movies work, some movies don’t,” said the 26-year-old actor.
spending more than five years in Bollywood, and with an experience of working in nearly 12 Hindi and Telugu films, Tanushree now wants to do something different.
“At this point of time I really want to do a historical movie. May be it’s going to take some time. I have covered various genres. I have done romantic, psycho-thriller, thriller, crime based, comedy, romantic comedy. Now I want to do a periodical. I also want to do a musical film,” she said.
Tanushree nurtures a dream of working on a hardcore subject and literature-based Bengali film in the coming years, but says that she hasn’t got an impressive offer yet.
“I have always wanted to work in a Bengali film. But till date I haven’t got that kind of offer that would impress me.
“Bengali filmmakers have come up with subjects that are so touchy and hardcore. Literature- and sahitya-based movies are made here. I want to work in literature-based movies in Bengal as this is the specialty of the Bengali film industry,” said Tanushree, who has completed a month-long acting workshop in the US.
Tanushree said she wants to sign movies, but she doesn’t have the “psychology” of having back-to-back releases in a short span.
“I am planning to sign movies. Actually I don’t have that psychology of having two back-to-back releases in three months. I don’t know what I am going to sign next or when I am going to sign next. But one thing I can guarantee, that it’s going to exciting,” said Tanushree

Big names, multiple releases, Bollywood promises entertaining 2011

No One Killed Jessica 200x277BollywoodWorld.com, Romance, action, comedy, real life stories… Bollywood is geared up with an interesting line-up of releases in 2011, starring big names like Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan and Ajay Devgn who have more than one film on offer.
Vidya Balan, a perfect combination of beauty and talent, will start the New Year on a serious note with “No One Killed Jessica”. Based on the murder of ramp model Jessica Lall, the film directed by Rajkumar Gupta, is releasing Jan 7. It also has another powerful performer, Rani Mukerji.
Vidya will be seen in another real life story “Dirty Pictures”, a biopic inspired by the southern sex symbol Silk Smitha’s tragic life.
The serious mood will soon be dispelled by the release of fun flicks “Turning 30″ and “Yamla Pagla Deewana”. While the former, starring Gul Panag, is an effort to entertain audiences through the story of a 30-plus single woman and her woes, the latter will see the three Deols – Dharmendra and his actor sons Sunny and Bobby Deol indulging in funny antics.
None other than Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan will appear in his wife Kiran Rao’s directorial debut “Dhobi Ghat”, about the city of Mumbai and four ordinary people whose lives intersect and become forever altered as they journey through longing, loneliness, loss and love. Releasing Jan 21, it also features Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra and Kriti Malhotra.
Aamir is expected to appear on screen again at the end of the year in Reema Kagti’s yet-to-be-titled movie.
Madhur Bhandarkar’s first comedy “Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji” will wrap up the first month of the year. The National Award-winning filmmaker, known for making hard-hitting movies, forays into comedy with Ajay Devgn and a host of other actors such as Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee and Shruti Haasan.
Ajay, who had the maximum releases in 2010 and has been named the most profitable male actor of the year, once again has the highest number of releases in the new year – “Tezz”, Rohit Shetty’s remake of Tamil hit “Singham”, “Aarakshan”, “Rascals”, and Shetty’s Diwali comedy with Abhishek Bachchan.
It was not a favourable year for Akshay Kumar, but he may climb up on the hits list with his first release of the year “Patiala House”. His role is inspired by the first Sikh cricketer in the English team, Monty Singh Panesar, and the promos look promising. In the latter part of the year, Akshay has several releases lined up – “Thank You”, “Desi Boyz”, “Joker” and “Housefull 2″.
2010 was a National Award year for Priyanka Chopra, but this beauty queen couldn’t give any big hit. The glamorous actress, who shocked and surprised her fans with her zara hatke performances in “Fashion” and “Kaminey”, will be seen as a femme fatale in “Saat Khoon Maaf”. It seems the actress is trying to make her body of work versatile as her next release “Barfee” will see her as deaf and dumb.
Just like January, the second month will also end with a smile with the release of the comedy “Tanu Weds Manu” that has R. Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut.
Abhishek Bachchan was appreciated as freedom fighter Surjya Sen in “Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se”, but the film couldn’t create a buzz at the box office. In March, the actor will return with the thriller “Game” that will hopefully have a better fate at the ticket window. His other releases are “Players” and Rohit Shetty’s Diwali comedy.
Sunny Khanna, director of Mumbai-based production and distribution house Watch Tower International, said: “It will be perhaps for the first time that all the biggies will have multiple releases in one year in 2011. But the major point is the corporates have again got the movies at extreme prices and they are going to bleed. Let’s see how much the audiences will spend this time.”
There are other big stars with multiple releases in 2011, but the dates are not finalised yet.
Shah Rukh Khan will have two releases, “Don 2″ and “Ra.One”, as well as the animation movie “Koochie Koochie Hota Hain” where he has given the voiceover.
Saif Ali Khan’s long-awaited home production “Agent Vinod”, which will see him in the lead, will hit the screens. He will also be seen playing an important role in “Aarakshan”.
Salman Khan is expected to repeat the success of “Dabangg” with three releases in 2011 – “Ready”, “My Love Story” and “Bodyguard”.
His “Kites” couldn’t fly high, but the actor is set to prove his worth with “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” and the remake of “Agneepath”.
Ranbir Kapoor, who emerged as a dark horse, thanks to his performance as a scheming politician in “Raajneeti”, will take his versatility to another level with “Rockstar” and “Barfee”.
While John Abraham will be seen in the Hindi remake of Tamil action cop drama “Kaakha Kaakha” and two sequels “Dostana 2″ and “Housefull 2″, Sanjay Dutt will feature in “Rascals” and “Double Dhamaal”.
It wasn’t a great year for Sonam Kapoor, but she bagged three projects – “Thank You”, “Mausam” and “Players” – all coming in the new year.
Katrina Kaif will entertain her fans with her roles in “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” and “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan”.
Kareena Kapoor has Shah Rukh’s home production “Ra.One” and her boyfriend Saif’s movie “Agent Vinod” as well as “Short Term Shaadi” in her kitty.
Imran Khan, Aamir Khan’s nephew, is a good actor, but it seems lady luck is eluding him. He may turn the tide with three releases – “Delhi Belly”, “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan” and “Short Term Shaadi”
