Katrina Kaif in ‘Dhoom 3’

After the confirmation of Aamir Khan as the negative protagonist in the third installment of the cult ‘Dhoom’ series, there are confirmed reports that Katrina Kaif will be the leading lady of the film. Sources close to the producers, Yash Raj Films, tell us that it was a tough call between three leading actresses of B-town: Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif. Finally it was Kats who bagged the role. The heist film will release sometime in the winter of 2012. Even then, the hype over the film has already started to build up!
It’s in the news now that Aamir Khan will not charge his usual fee for ‘Dhoom 3’. Instead, he will be taking in 33% of the profits from the film! This is the first time in the history of Yash Raj Films that they have done a revenue sharing deal with an actor. There is little doubt that the film will be a runaway hit. Aamir has already praised the script written by Vijay Krishna Acharya. He also happens to be the director of the film. Known as Victor in the industry, his script was lauded by the Perfectionist as the best that he has read in the recent times. The founder of Yash Raj Films, Yash Chopra, added his voice to that of Aamir in singing paeans about the content they have on their hands.
‘Dhoom 3’ will cement Katrina’s place in Bollywood as a leading actress. She has been extremely lucky so far in this year. Her romance with Ranbir Kapoor is rekindled after a rough patch when he was getting cozy with his ‘Rockstar’ costar Nargis Fakhri. Ranbir is back with Katrina and the two of them spent a night together after attending Karan Johar’s birthday bash. They were spotted taking a ride in Ranbir’s red car and then having a cozy dinner. Finally they retired into Katrina’s pad.

Salman Khan Stoic over Katrina Break-up

This is a rare departure from the norm! Salman Khan is known to raise a ruckus when his relationships come to an end. Ask Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Somi Ali! But when it comes to his break-up with Katrina Kaif, Sallu Bhai is not his usual self. There were no public spats, no barbs planted in the media, no tweeting in bitterness. It was as if a new Salman Khan had emerged from the ashes of that relationship. His friends and family are delighted that he has not caused trouble so far, despite knowing that Kats has moved on to the arms of the talismanic Ranbir Kapoor.
A source close to the temperamental actor leaked out that Katrina Kaif sat down with Salman Khan and talked the matter over like responsible, mature individuals. Both of them are at a peak time of their careers and they didn’t want to cause harm to their brand values by doing something untoward in public. Salman decided that he didn’t want to hold back Kats as that would cause a massive dent in his fan following. After all, Katrina is a top-draw actress today, with a considerable fan base. By choosing to keep quiet, Salman has endeared himself even more to his fans. They love this new, evolved Sallu!
In a short flashback, let’s take you to Salman’s break-up days with Aishwarya. There were strong media reports that Salman used to land up on the doorstep of the actress, d--- drunk, and shout obscenities. He made more than 40 calls to her erstwhile date Viveik Oberoi, who called a press conference and bared all to the media. Their fight is still throwing sparks every now and then, despite Viveik’s unconditional apology. Another girlfriend of Salman Khan, Somi Ali, got soft drink poured on her head when she wanted to break away from him! Either Katrina is really lucky to have got away or age has matured the bad boy of Bollywood.

Deepika’s Turn to Be Item Girl!

Deepika Padukone will be the item number sensation in 2011! At least, that’s what she is aiming for. Deepika will groove to the hit song of Zeenat Aman, ‘Dum Maro Dum’. The year 2010 belonged to Sheila and Munni. If things go her way, 2011 will belong to Deepika. She’s leaving no stone unturned to ensure that her dance number is shot and choreographed by the best team. Her aim is to make it better than ‘Sheila ki Jawani’, a song that continues to rule the roost and get Farah Khan one award after another. In terms of awards, Sheila has beaten Munni quite comprehensively!
The film that Deepika will swing to has the very epitome of sensuality, Bipasha Basu, in the lead. The dance number will be a rehash of the one that made Zeenat Aman a sensation. Deepika wants to look her best and do something that will turn her career on its head. However, it won’t just be Deepika Padukone who will put on her dancing shoes in 2011. Kareena Kapoor will do the same in Shah Rukh Khan’s home production ‘Ra.One’. Her song is titled ‘Chammak Chhallo’. The sensual item song will see the svelte Kareena groove to the beat. As obvious, Shah Rukh is leaving no stone unturned to make his heroine the new buzzword in Bollywood.
Kareena is already the toast of the town, of course! Newcomer Ranveer Singh, who’s grabbing all the debutant male actor awards for ‘Band Baaja Baarat’ is a self-confessed Kareena Kapoor fan. He appeared on Karan’s chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’ and admitted to his undying love for the diva. He didn’t bat an eyelid before going down on his knees to speak about his love for Bebo, despite having lady-love Anushka Sharma on the same couch. Seems like Kareena is a darling that everyone wants to be with!

Band Baaja Baaraat Couple Back with YRF

The red-hot pair of Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma is back together in a Yash Raj Films production. Their previous outing with YRF gave us the very entertaining ‘Band Baaja Baarat’. The same director, Manish Sharma, is bringing them back for his upcoming film ‘Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl’. The story has been developed by the scion of YRF, Aditya Chopra. The banner definitely leads the list of elite production companies in B-town. But they hit a rough patch in the last couple of years. ‘Band Baaja Baarat’ brought them back into reckoning.
The new film, ‘Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl’ will have Ranveer Singh play the character of Ricky Bahl. He’s a playboy who meets his match in the character played by Anushka Sharma. Anushka is the real-life love of Ranveer and they appear on Karan Johar’s couch this Sunday. The film will go to the floors this April. The music is being done by music director duo Salim-Suleiman. YRF is planning a Dec 9 release. ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ released on the same weekend last year.
There’s another reason why ‘Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl’ is grabbing the headlines. Priyanka Chopra’s cousin Pariniti Chopra is making her debut as an actress in this film. Priyanka announced that at the JW Marriot Hotel while promoting her own ready-to-release film, ‘7 Khoon Maaf’. She also revealed that Pariniti works with YRF in the marketing department. Pariniti had worked on the PR for ‘Pyaar Impossible’ where Priyanka was the leading lady. When asked if she would like to share some tips with her cousin, Priyanka shot back, “I would call her and say that!” Fair enough! Here’s hoping that Pariniti has what it takes to measure up to the achievements of her senior sister.

Katrina and Kareena Battle for ‘Ferrari ki Sawari’

You must often hear it being said that there is no shortage of work in Bollywood and actors can find enough projects if they are competent. But when it comes to the A-list projects, there is a crunch situation. The top grade actors stay in contention for these projects till someone is finalized. Some days ago we reported about the indecision over the lead actress in ‘Dhoom 3’. Now it’s Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s ‘Ferrari ki Sawari’ that has some problems in casting the leading lady. B-town scorchers Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor are in the loop for the role.
The male lead of ‘Ferrari ki Sawari’ is Sharman Joshi. He will be working with Vidhu Vinod Chopra again after the stupendous success of ‘3 Idiots’. The film will be directed by debutant Rajesh Mapuskar. When they began working on the script, Rajesh or Vinod did not have a leading lady in the screenplay. Then Vinod decided to hand over the script to Rajkumar Hirani. Hirani set aside his work for his next movie and took up the script. He added a character as Sharman’s reel wife. The wife appears in flashbacks in black and white print.
Rajesh Mapuskar wants to have Katrina Kaif in the role. He feels that she will look like the heroines of the black and white era. Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rakjumar Hirani want Kareena to do it. They were much impressed with her after her stellar act in ‘3 Idiots’. Kareena stayed silent when she was asked about her interest in ‘Ferrari ki Sawari’. But she did send out positive vibes by reiterating how much she enjoyed working with the team of Vidhu Vinod Chopra. She also mentioned that she got along famously with Madhavan and Sharman on the sets of ‘3 Idiots’. We feel the role is going to go Kareena’s way. What say?

‘Dabangg 2’ Pushed Back for Salman Khan

Salman Khan is not a star who’s always available, even if the producer happens to be his brother! That’s what Arbaaz Khan found out when Salman pushed back the work on ‘Dabangg 2’ because of date problems. Salman is a busier star today than he was a couple of years back. He has signed a spate of films and a couple of them, ‘Ready’ and ‘Bodyguard’ are ready for release. He couldn’t make time out to shoot the sequel to the superhit ‘Dabangg’ during the first half of 2011. Arbaaz had little choice but to fall in with the wishes of his star-actor.
When ‘Dabangg 2’ got postponed, Arbaaz Khan wanted to start working on another film in the interim. But he decided not to because the pre-production work on ‘Dabangg 2’ will start off in September. As obvious, Arbaaz doesn’t want to pick up a subject now. He’s convinced that he cannot wrap it up by September. That will also dilute his concentration on the sequel. Of course, Arbaaz knows that ‘Dabangg 2’ will be a money spinner for sure! And he wants to make it bigger than the first edition. And he seriously can’t go ahead with the project without the man who made ‘Dabangg’ what it is: Salman Khan.
Nothing happens without some rumors on the side! When Salman Khan pushed back the date for ‘Dabangg 2’, the grapevine was abuzz with talks that the temperamental star had fallen out with the director of ‘Dabangg’, Abhinav Kashyap. There were reports that the two couldn’t see eye to eye on the project and Arbaaz was delaying the work on the sequel in a hope that he can sort out their differences. Salman himself denied the reports. We reckon that Salman must be grateful to Abhinav Kashyap for pulling him out of the doldrums his career was headed for!

Priyanka Not Always There for Shahid

Priyanka Chopra may hold a special place in the life of Shahid Kapoor, but that does not mean that she will always be there when he needs her! Yes, that is the reality of B-town’s toast couple. It’s unfortunate for Kunal Kohli that he found out this bitter truth on his expense. Here’s how.
Kunal Kohli declared his next project with Shahid Kapoor in the lead. It will be a period romantic drama. Kunal wanted Priyanka to play the female lead. He took it for granted that because of her importance in Shahid’s life, she will quickly agree to do the film. But he didn’t know that Piggy Chops and Shasha have decided to keep their professional commitments very separate from their personal equation. As a matter of fact, Priyanka didn’t sign on the dotted line yet! That threw Kunal Kohli in a spot of bother.
Priyanka Chopra is among the busiest actresses of tinsel town. She has a spate of films coming up and she’s also shooting for some. The notable ones among them are ‘Don 2’, Krishh 2’ and ‘Barfee’ where she plays a handicapped character. These films leave little room for Priyanka to squeeze in Kunal’s film. And she mentioned that at a press conference recently. She said, “The film is not confirmed yet and I am still in talks with Kunal.”
Priyanka recently got embroiled in a controversy with her latest release ‘7 Khoon Maaf’. One of her husbands in the film, Annu Kapoor apparently said that she refused to do intimate scenes with him because he was not a big star. Priyanka lost her cool when she heard this. She peeled off her diplomatic self and shot out that such scenes were never there in the screenplay and if Annu Kapoor wanted to do such scenes, he must work in B-grade films! Our insiders tell us that Annu Kapoor is a friend of Priyanka’s dad!

‘Dum Maaro Dum’ Too Hot for Deepika!

We reported in an earlier post that Deepika Padukone is stepping into the s--- shoes of Zeenat Aman for the song ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ in Rohan Sippy’s next film. Apparently the heat got too much for Deepika! She decided to slip out of a skirt designed by Anahita Shroff Adajania and wear shorts instead. The reason: Deepika couldn’t be comfortable wearing that skirt and grooving to the difficult steps of the song.
Deepika Padukone received all kinds of compliments from the director and close friends on her look in ‘Dum Maaro Dum’. She looked uber-gorgeous in the skirt but it barely covered her derriere. When the rehearsals began, Deepika found it unmanageable. The choreographer wanted to change the steps for Deepika because she looked wonderful in the skirt worn with a halter top. But she was insistent on doing the steps and opted to change the skirt instead. Now she’s shooting the song in shorts worn with a tassel to give it the feel of a skirt.
After working really hard to get into shape for ‘Dum Maaro Dum’, it may be a little disappointing for Deepika Padukone. But she need not be dismayed. Rohan Sippy is planning to promote the film on the USP of this one song. The first teasers of the film, as well as the first posters, will have Deepika as the face of the film. This has upset Bipasha Basu who’s actually the leading lady of the film. Abhishek Bachchan is the lead actor. Bipasha was rattled when she heard about this decision of Rohan. She immediately called him up and wanted to know what was going on. Rohan explained that it was a marketing decision to not feature Abhishek and Bipasha on the first few promotional campaigns. The film hits the theaters on April 22.

Ranveer-Anushka Smooch At Shahid’s Party

Karan Johar asked. They denied. He insisted. They slipped away. He cajoled. They held their ground. Nothing that this nippy talk show host did could bring Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma to admit that they are a couple. They went on the offensive on each other, stating repeatedly that they couldn’t stand each other’s company! But as you all know, Bollywood is a strange place to be in. Days after such coy behavior, the couple stunned everyone with a steamy smooch on the dance floor!
The occasion was Shahid Kapoor’s birthday party. Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma danced with each other all evening. Arms entwined, they close danced and set the temperature in the room to a steaming point. They danced to numbers from their box office hit ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ as well. The guests at Sasha’s party were in no doubt that this sizzling couple was more than just good friends. Finally the climactic moment came! Much like the physical relationship their reel avatars had in the film, Ranveer and Anushka got drunk and got smooching on the dance floor. People around them were shocked but no one was complaining!
Karan Johar may feel a little let-down by this. After all, he wants all the revelations to come from his black couch on the show. Ranveer and specially Anushka denied him that pleasure. But why announce their relationship at Shahid’s party when they had national TV at their disposal to do so? We think there’s more here than meets the eye. When Anushka was shooting for ‘Badmaash Company’ with Shahid, there were reports that the two were seeing each other. There could be some truth there after all! It may be that Anushka wanted to flaunt her man to her ex-boyfriend. If that is the case, you have to say that this girl is as spunky as the characters she plays onscreen.

Katrina Turns Producer to Launch Sister Isabel

Katrina Kaif will turn producer soon to launch her younger sister Isabel. Isabel has completed a course of acting in USA recently. Now she’s getting ready to be launched in Bollywood. And who else can be a greater reference point than her successful sister Katrina? Kats is not going to leave any stone unturned to make Isabel a top grade actress of B-town. She admits that when she came to Mumbai, she couldn’t tell the difference between ‘Sholay’ and ‘Mughal-e-Azam’. Of course, she had a certain Salman Khan to lead her to the giddy heights of stardom.

When it comes to her sister Isabel, Katrina relies on no one but herself. Sources close to the actress told us that she was looking to turn producer for a while now. But she kept putting it off to save something special for Isabel. Now the time has come for her to take the plunge. She has selected a French film that she wants to remake. To ensure a good opening, Katrina will act alongside Isabel in the film! She will play a soldier, something on the lines of Goldie Hawn in ‘Private Benjamin’.
To start off, Katrina was not willing to share screen space with Isabel because she was wary of unfair comparisons between the two. But now she feels that she can use her star power to make the ride smoother for young Isabel. Kats speaks to Isabel in Hindi these days and also makes her watch Bollywood films. Here is one tough taskmaster who won’t relax until Isabel has hit the bull’s eye of success. Katrina understands, of course, that she can only do so much for Isabel and after that it will be her talent that will decide her future. Isabel could do well if she picked up the nuances from Kats. After all, Kats has battled the odds and now reigns supreme on the silver screen!

Kareena Styles Imran’s Hair in ‘Short Term Shaadi’

Kareena Kapoor has taken up the mantle of styling costar Imran Khan’s hair in their upcoming film ‘Short Term Shaadi’. The film is being produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and is being directed by debutant Shakun Batra. Before you draw conclusions that Kareena is quitting her career as an actress to be a hair stylist, we’ll let the cat out of the bag! Actually it’s her onscreen character who is a hair stylist. Imran sports two very different looks in the film. In the first half, he is prim and proper, dressed like a suave architect. In the second half, he is more chilled out and casual.

To make her character look believable, Kareena Kapoor would play her tricks on Imran Khan’s hair. She would be at it all day! Witnesses on the sets reported that Imran was very sporting about the whole thing. In reality, Imran’s hair is being done by his long-term friend and hair stylist Ayesha. Imran mentions that Ayesha has done his hair since his debut film ‘Jaane Tu.. Ya Jaane Na’. She is also working on the two different avatars of Imran in ‘Short Term Shaadi’.
Let’s give you an insight here. ‘Short Term Shaadi’ is a tentative title for the film. In fact, the director gets really miffed when people call his film by this name! Unless something goes off, you can expect the film to be titled differently when it hits the screens. This is the first time that Kareena will be sharing the screen with Imran Khan since his meteoric rise as a leading actor of B-town. The storyline of the film is that Imran’s character is a boring but classy guy who interacts with Kareena’s character for about a week and changes dramatically. He sports a cool new look, thanks to her character and his philosophy about life changes. Now where have we heard that before? ‘Jab We Met’, anyone?!

Katrina Faces Wardrobe Malfunction Scare

Katrina Kaif almost became the victim of a wardrobe malfunction when she was grooving to the beats at Big IMA Awards. Katrina was dancing with a clutch of dancers backing her up. The left strap of her red top kept sliding down and she couldn’t keep it firmly in place. As she danced, at one point it did seem that it is going to slide down completely!
Kats is a seasoned performer on stage. She knows how to handle herself and her clothes. She was particularly careful about the moves and regularly pulled her strap up, even as she danced. Her composure in the face of such a possibility was commendable and witnesses were impressed with how she continued dancing without letting her wardrobe flaw get in the way. Katrina’s stars are really not working for her these days!

Kareena Makes Bizarre Request to Director!

We reported in an earlier post how Kareena Kapoor was playing hairstylist to costar Imran Khan on ‘Short Term Shaadi’. Here’s more news coming in from the same sets. Kareena apparently refused to have eggs in a breakfast scene for the film. The script was that Kareena was having breakfast with Imran Khan in an US café. The scene demanded that she has scrambled eggs. But Bebo put her foot down firmly.
Kareena said that she had quit eating non-veg food 6 years ago and she was not willing to have eggs for the scene. The director was adamant as Bebo requested, pleaded and finally threw a tantrum. At long large the director, Shakun Batra, relented and the scene was shot with her eating pancakes. Because of the number of retakes, Kareena apparently ended up eating 15 cakes!
When she was asked about this scene by the media, she downplayed the incident and stated that the director was very cooperative about the whole thing. She signed off, “Even if the scene required it, I won’t have such food. I have laid down that rule and explain my stance when I’m doing any film.”

Shahid Trying to Woo Priyanka Back

If there is a person unlucky in love, it has got to be Shahid Kapoor! He lost out on the gorgeous Kareena Kapoor to the uber-cool Saif Ali Khan. After dating and flirting (allegedly) with numerous women like Anushka Sharma, Sania Mirza and Vidya Balan, Shahid suddenly got lucky and started seeing Priyanka Chopra. The two met during the shooting of Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Kaminey’ and instantly hit it off. This happened despite the two of them admitting on Karan Johar’s ‘Koffee with Karan’ couch that they didn’t really think of each other much before they actually started dating.
Shahid soon ran out of luck. He got possessive about Priyanka Chopra because of her growing friendship (read intimacy!) with the playboy of Bollywood, Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir and Piggy Chops couldn’t set the screen on fire with their chemistry in ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ but they definitely got pally off-screen. Shahid’s nagging didn’t go down well with Priyanka. Skirmishes continued to happen before Priyanka took a flight to the US to boycott Shahid’s birthday party on Feb 25. The A-listers of B-town swooped down on his party but his lady love was prominently missing in action! That got the tongues wagging that the couple are definitely on the path of break-up. Again!
Now that Priyanka is back in town, Shahid is trying to woo her back with flowers and lovey-dovey text messages. His ‘I miss you’ and ‘Let’s make it work!’ messages are coming down on Priyanka’s cell phone like the tsunami. But Piggy Chops is in no mood to relent. A source close to the actress said that Priyanka is deeply hurt because she was walking that extra distance to make this relationship click. In the face of that, Shahid’s immature behavior has hit her hard. As of now, she is ignoring his phone calls and messages. Their common friends are trying to patch things up between them. Let’s hope for the best!

Bipasha Basu: No Weak Characters for Me!

Bipasha Basu is convinced that her fans don’t accept her in the role of a weak female character. That is the reason that she outlined why her followers trashed her work in ‘Aakrosh’. In that film, she plays the submissive wife of a corrupt police inspector of the rural heartlands. The film bombed and now we have Bips playing a role that epitomizes the modern liberated woman that she is in real life. Her upcoming film ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ with Abhishek Bachchan has Bipasha playing the character of Zoey.
At a media function, Bipasha stated that Zoey was a cool and hip girl in Goa who wanted to be an airhostess. The character had all the spunk that she was looking for in her comeback film of sorts. The film itself is set against the backdrop of the drug mafia in Goa’s underbelly. The film has an ensemble cast that includes the current toast of Bollywood, Prateik Babbar. Bips, however, clarified that the makers of the film didn’t want to portray Goa as an expanded smuggler’s den. She feels that the vitality of Goa goes with the plot and the characters. That is why the director felt that Goa is where they will shoot.
As obvious, Bipasha Basu was all praise for director Rohan Sippy. Calling him a Goan at heart, Bips admitted that she bullied the director once in a while, though he always got the upper hand because he was very sure of his script and what he wanted from the actors. Insiders tell us that Bipasha is paired opposite Southern heartthrob Rana Daggubati. On the sides, let’s tell you an inside scoop. Bipasha’s famed friendship with Abhishek got dented when the Junior B passed an off-color comment about her beau John Abraham. Bips felt hurt because he cracked a joke too many. As it is, the relationship between her and John seems very strained. There are some definite cold vibes between Abhishek and Bipasha now. Poor AB, nothing is working for him!

Sonakshi Dares to Bare

Current Bollywood sensation, Sonakshi Sinha, is not averse to doing item numbers! She clarified this after speculations were ripe in tinsel town whether the daughter of veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha will dare to bare when it comes to dancing onscreen. She has already proved her mettle as a dancer by showing everyone how graceful she is. She has performed at some major award shows this year. The feedback on her dancing skills is very positive. That has prompted many within the industry to ask if they can have her onboard as an item girl.
The 23-year old girl has some reservations, though. She stated that she has to be comfortable in what she is doing. Provided that she has that comfort level, Sonakshi wants to join the ranks of Malaika Arora Khan, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone on the item number bandwagon. However, Sonakshi maintained that she will not do kissing scenes and will never flaunt a b-----. That reminds us of the furor caused by her fake b----- pictures that appeared on the Maxim magazine. She was really upset then and her PR machinery went into an overdrive to douse rumors that the snaps were real.
Her inhibitions about certain aspects of cinema do not bring down her demand in B-town! Sonakshi is one of the most sought-after actresses now. She was wooed by none other than Kamal Hassan for a remake of ‘Hannibal’. She put forward her conditions that she won’t do any intimate scenes. The Southern superstar had to accept her prerequisites and she signed on the dotted line. Sonakshi is also paired with Akshay Kumar in Shirish Kunder’s second attempt, ‘Joker’. She will also be seen in the sequence of ‘Race’, this time opposite Saif Ali Khan. And Sonakshi has admitted on Karan Johar’s show that she is charging a b--- for her films! She is truly dabangg!
