Govinda’s comic timing with Esha Deol

Wednesday, December 2, 2009

It’s a multi starrer film featuring Suniel Shetty, Govinda, Celina Jaitely, Esha Deol and Urvashi Sharma. When we asked the director what’s the film about, he explained “Tea is an integral part of everyone’s life. Be it any occasion, when you are happy you have a cup of tea, when you are sad you have a cup of tea. Be it a business meeting or just a date with your loved one, a cup of tea is always an important part of our lives. So it’s a light film about how these various characters get connected with one another through chai.”Suniel and Govinda are already established actors in b-town.

Celina also has her films so has Urvashi whom we see in few films. But the most recognisable actress on the sets is Esha Deol whose career is really not doing well. We have last seen her in Hijack almost a year ago in 2008 with Shiney Ahuja and now with a time gap of two years she will be seen in Chai Garam. Working with Chi Chi and Suniel Shetty may make the film bankable but she needs as many such films in her kitty.About Esha’s choice of Chai Garam she said, “It’s a simple and light hearted comedy film, when Aditya narrated the script to me I liked it, and agreed to do.”So what does Chai mean to your life and how is your chai served we asked Esha. She said ,“If the morning tea is bad, my entire day goes bad.

Therefore, I am very careful about my tea. Lemongrass is an essential ingredient.”Where Esha’s career is dwindling we hope Chai Garam brings some good luck to Aditya Datt who has in the past made Aaqhiq Banaya Aapne Esha tells us, “I think Aditya is a brilliant director. He is very calm and knows how to get things from his stars. And that’s what you are going to watch in Chai Garam. I really like the concept and the film name Chai Garam.”The Chai Garam unit is back in India. One of the unit member from the crew informs “Esha Deol had a blast while shooting for Chai Garam. It’s very rare to see in Bollywood where two actresses bond so well with each other. Both Celina and Esha share a great rapport and have worked in the past in No Entry.

Even the boys are also funny specially Suniel Shetty who keeps clicking pictures on the sets, Chi Chi is also a very simple person and the whole unit is enjoying the shooting. This film could start a new pair in Esha and Govinda, their comic timing together is superb.”We hope that this film works for Esha Deol. It’s set to release in January 2010.

Salman Khan to play superhero in Mr. India 2

Salman Khan is all geared up to play a superhero for the first time in his life in the movie Veer. But, this may not be the last time as Salman could soon be seen playing a superhero in a sequel to Mr. India. Boney Kapoor who produced the 1987 super hit flick wants Salman to play larger than life character in his upcoming sequel.

Anil Kapoor who was the original Mr. India will also play a pivotal role in the movie.Boney Kapoor said that Mr India 2 will rely on the nostalgic value and the curiosity element of the original flick. The invisibility factor and a larger than life villain which were core to the 1987 movie will be retained this time too.

Boney is yet to decide on the female lead for the movie. Incidentally his wife Sridevi had starred in the original flick. All we can say is that ‘India Khush Hua!’

What’s Salman doing with horses and elephants?

I was shocked when a little birdie told me that around 1000 horses and 100 elephants were used in the action sequences in Salman Khan’s much awaited production Veer. GAWD! I did not even know so many elephants were available in India.So, however, apparently action director Tinu Verma has worked extra hard to get the sequences in place. He apparently trained Salman in the art of sword fighting and horse riding to properly represent the warriors of Pindhari clan.

Next time Kat should try to keep all the forks and spoons away from Sallu darling at her birthday party. Tee hee hee!And that’s not all guys. Tinu Verma who has films like Gadar and Border to his name swears that Veer has been his most challenging project till date. WOW! And Juicy Mausi is quite sure Salman has executed all of it and more with elan. Whatta HUNK!

Now, here’s hoping, the film doesn’t face any problems from a certain Ms Gandhi for using so many ‘innocent’ horses, elephants and camels.

I'm looking forward to being a mom: Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai says she is fully convinced that actor-husband Abhishek Bachchan will make a good father in real life because he is so "real and rooted".

"Everybody has been asking me if Abhishek will be a good pa (father) in connection with the release of our forthcoming production Paa. I think it's silly for me to be even making the statement. It's given - I married the man. So obviously I have the conviction in the husband he is or the father he will be," said Aishwarya, 36 in an interview.

Asked about Abhishek's qualities that would make him a good father, Aishwarya laughed and said: "He is very real, very rooted and very human - which I absolutely relate to. His values are evident for everybody to see. We have known each other for so many years.

"I've seen him with his niece and nephew since the time they were babies. He is so great with kids and I've seen that for the longest time with (his sister Shweta's children) Navya (Naveli) and Agastya. I have no doubts on him whatsoever."

Aishwarya, who will be seen with Abhishek in Ravana, was in the capital Monday to launch the Longines PrimaLuna, a new watch range inspired by the moon and galaxy.

Sporting a sleek piece herself that matched with an elaborate yet elegant black and cream off-shoulder gown, Aishwarya was at peace talking about her personal life.

Asked whether she would want a daughter or a son, she said: "Come on...Aren't you like moving at a really fast pace...! Whatever god has in store for us in life (will come)... Life itself is a blessing, let alone to have opportunity to be able to bring a life into this world.

"It's really not in our hands ...it's in god's hands. I hope I am just blessed with that experience, I am really looking forward to it and we will certainly cherish it," she added.

Her mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan is a member of the Samajwadi Party, but Aishwarya is doubtful if she will ever head in that direction.

"Life has been so full - haven't even thought about it (entering politics). My life is evidently extremely full in terms of the amount of responsibilities and experiences I am currently having.

"And I believe, anything you take, you have to be able to commit to and give a lot of yourself to. And I think at this point, life is full and that's what I am giving (my best) to," she said.

On the work front, the former beauty queen is busy with big ticket projects such as Mani Ratnam's Ravana, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish, Rajnikant starrer Endhiran and Vipul Shah's Action Replay.

The actress is likely to feature as Mumtaz Mahal with acclaimed Hollywood actor Ben Kingsley in Taj, which is based on Taj Mahal.

"After The Last Legion, Sir Ben and I were keen to work together in another project. He has now come with the final draft and he has just sent it over to me. Once we agree on everything, we will take the project forward. He will start scouting for the locations soon," she said.

For now, Aishwarya is looking forward to AB Corp's Paa, which features her father-in-law, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, and Abhishek. The film releases Friday.

Is SRK part of Roshan’s Krrish sequel?

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Rakesh Roshan hasn’t even finalised his script for the sequel to the hit movie Krrish. But speculation is rife that Bollywood super- actor Shah Rukh Khan will be cast as the villain in the Krrish sequel.

The rumours have added interest to an already over- hyped sequel. new addition to the buzz is that Hrithik ‘Krrish’ Roshan won’t be paired with Priyanka Chopra in Krrish 2. The actor will be paired with Deepika Padukone instead.

The Roshans plan to start Krrish 2′ s shooting in September 2010. The movie is expected to be bigger than the Roshan’s earlier films.

Aamir Khan: Who is his night partner?

Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan, who is the reigning actor amongst the current crops, is spending his nights with a person, other than his wife Kiran Rao. The actor, who is known to be a private person, has found a buddy in his ‘Andaaz Apnaa Apnaa’ co-star Salman Khan. Their friendship, that has been the talk-of-the-town for the last few weeks, has now, reached to a level so mounting, that they often spend the night together.

Now, before, you permit your imaginations to run wild, we must warn you not to fancy on such sexual lines, as the duo don’t share a bed but, only a bike. Aamir has got himself into the habit of driving down to Salman’s Bandra home after midnight and thereafter the duo go for a breezy ride on Salman’s red motorcycle.After their nocturnal excursions, they either while away their time over a glass of wine in Sallu’s home or sneak into Aamir’s home (when dear wife Kiran is out of town).

Their thickening bond was apparent a year ago from their sizzling chemistry in Salman’s show ‘Dus Ka Dum’, when Aamir appeared with his nephew Imran to promote his debut ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’. And after Salman’s rift with former buddy Shah Rukh Khan, they have come even closer. “Yes, I am very fond of Salman. I also spend time with him whenever we can match our schedules,” admits Aamir. Is the sequel to ‘Andaaz Apnaa Apnaa’ on the making? We will keep our fingers crossed over that.

Hrithik Roshan dumping Bhansali’s Guzaarish?

Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan is known for his cool attitude. He gets along quite well with almost everyone in the film industry. But the story seems to have changed of late. He is said to have dumped Guzaarish after a fierce fight with the director of the film.

The grapevine is abuzz with the news that Hrithik was not happy with the excessive use of English language in Guzaarish, as he felt it would turn away the masses. But director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was adamant on using it whenever necessary.

Hrithik also wanted to add subtitles but Bhansali didn’t pay heed to his suggestion. The news is doing the rounds that angry Hrithik shot the Hindi portion of the film and skipped the English portion. It is also said that he left the sets of the film following a heated argument with ther director.

Well, we are yet to hear from the duo regarding the matter!
