Priyanka the girl next door gets sexy

Tarun Mansukhani is mighty pleased with the kind of response he is getting for the bodies that John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra have acquired for Dostana. Accolades have been coming in from all quarters as both John and Priyanka ignite the heat in their pursuit for acquiring best bodies in the town.

“While John has worked hard on his physique and made sure that heads (belonging to both women and men) turn around him wherever he goes, I am not surprised since he seems to have been born with a six pack abs. What amazes me though is the strange body that Priyanka Chopra has,” says Tarun Mansukhani, debutant director who is beginning his innings with this Karan Johar production.

“Well, she eats so much and doesn’t even work out much. Still, she manages to hold her figure. I guess it’s her metabolism that allows her to be this way. With Dostana, she could well be termed as a sexy girl next door,” smiles Tarun.

Abhishek Bachchan seems to be just the same though as in all his films, isn’t it?

“In fact Abhi too has gone through some transformation as he was still working on Drona when Dostana began. He was in fact the fittest since even when John would be tired, he would push him to get back on his feet and face the camera,” reveals Tarun.

But he doesn’t seem to be flaunting his body the way John is in the film. Why is that case?

Defends Tarun, “See the film and you would know for yourself. The kind of body type that he is carrying is something like is required for the character. It is truly in conjunction with the film. In any case, Abhi is a completely changed person for Dostana and is looking really fantastic.”

Kareena’s Bikini Obsession Continues

Akshay Kumar has romanced his heroines everywhere and now he woos his heroine, Kareena Kapoor in Kambhaqt Ishq in an underwater sequence which has Bebo in a sexy bikini and Akki in shorts.

Set against large mountains, blue waters and frolicking marine life, Akshay Kumar will be seen romancing Kareena Kapoor in his latest flick, Kambhaqt Ishq . From Hollywood’s Universal Studios to a scenic village in Venice, the shooting locale for producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s film has now moved to Mumbai.

Although we had word that shooting at this location had started, neither the producer nor his cast was willing to say a word about anything. So we decided to investigate and found that once again Nadiadwala does not believe in doing anything in half measures.

A suburban swimming pool was first drained of all the water. Noted set designers, Acropolis were hired to create a replica of a Venetian lansdscape. While the mountains were made of acrylic, the coral for the coral reef was flown in from Venice. After the set was designed, water was poured back into the pool and a glass chamber was erected so that the film could be shot from there. To create an underwater effect, this costly set was put up.

Kareena is obviously wearing yet another bikini, and her look has been designed by Akki Narula. Akshay Kumar’s look has been done by Shabina Khan. The Khiladi will be wearing shorts for this shoot and has beefed himself up. Our sources say, “Akshay has been on a restricted diet for the last 40 days.”

Shooting at this site will continue till end of the week, which will also then wrap up shooting for the film. With a cameo from Sylvestor Stallone, Akshay Kumar’s death defying stunts and Kareena Kapoor’s sexy body in bikinis, Kambhaqt Ishq is certainly looking more than promising.

Rajesh Khanna smooches, beds young actress in new film!

Living legend Rajesh Khanna is all set to shock all with his new avatar, as the actor has indulged in bold, intimate bedroom scenes with young Pakistani actress Saara Khan in ‘Wafaa’. Directed by item queen Rakhi Sawant’s brother, Rakesh Sawant, the film will see Bollywood’s Kaka smooching the actress, who is reportedly half his age.

When asked if Khanna would be able to give a blush to the ‘serial kisser’ Emran Hashmi with his hot bedroom scenes in the flick, here’s what he said, “The intimate scenes are justified because we are shown as husband and wife. It is a mature love story with bizarre twists. It’s a logical demand of the situations where sex plays a pivotal catalyst role and it’s not for titillation. The Censor Board has cleared ‘Wafaa’ with an ‘A’ certificate. After having acted in over 170 movies, I don’t need to do a film which has vulgarity as its theme.”

In the much talked about film, Khanna will be seen playing a Thailand-based multi-millionaire who meets this scheming sex-starved airhostess desperate to marry him for his money.

Well, after Dharmendra’s intimate smooch with Mallika Sherawat in ‘Kis Kis Ki Kismat’, it’s ‘Kaka’ who’s all set to make a bold and sexy comeback with ‘Wafaa’.

Mandira and Anil Kumble movie out soon

The Mandira Bedi starrer Meerabai Not Out will finally see the light of day. The film which also stars Anil Kumble has not found any takers for the longest time and therefore was constantly facing delays. But now a source from the production house, Pritish Nandy Communications, says that they plan to capitalize on India’s recent win against Australia and release the film.

“Twice earlier we had tried to release the film but it just wasn’t the right time. But right now it’s all going good for Indian cricket and so we think this film will work very well. Plus Anil Kumble has just retired so people would love to see him on screen doing something new as well,” says the source.

The tempo in the country is quite high with India winning against Australia. Plus the country was quite moved with Kumble’s retirement and so the producers feel that they will be able to use the cricket fever to help promote their film.

“The film releases on December 5th. There are no other big films releasing on that day. You have Maharathi and Dil Kabaddi which also release on the same day. But with all three being comedies, the producers are hoping the fact that their film revolves around cricket and features Anil Kumble they will be able to pull in the audiences,” says the source.

About Meerabai Not Out

Indian cricketer Anil Kumble plays an integral part in the film. Mandira Bedi plays a single mathematics teacher. Her great love in life is cricket and Anil Kumble. However, she then meets Eijas Khan and the two fall in love. But for Mandira her first love will always be cricket. And so the big question is will Mandira commit and marry Eijaz although her heart still beats for Anil Kumble and the Indian cricket team.

Shilpa Shetty is the perfect Bond girl: Daniel Criag

Shilpa Shetty’s stars are shining brighter than ever, though she has no acting roles in her kitty. Getting more international reviews than any Bollywood actress, she has caught the attention of the hottest Hollywood character, ‘James Bond’. Daniel Craig recently gave pretty warm statements for Shilpa Shetty. Warm is an understatement, for he finds Shilpa’s smouldering, shapely figure hot enough to be a ‘bond-girl’.

“I haven’t met any of the Indian film actors in person except Shilpa Shetty,” Craig recently said when asked about any Indian actresses he knows to a newsdaily.

Not only this, he went on to add, “She is beautiful and very talented too. I think she looks great and has a killing figure, just right for a Bond girl.”

Lately Daniel Craig has been hinting about being interested in Bollywood ventures, but it is the first time he has declared his choice for an Indian Bond-girl. Previously green-eyed Aishwarya was approached for the role of Bond-girl, but the prim Bachchan bahu refused.

When asked about this complement, Shilpa replied with a coy, silent smile. When she is getting international appreciation unasked, why spoil the fun! Right, Shilpa?

Monica bedi and Rahul Mahajan to get married

Rahul Mahajan may have been thrown out of the reality show Bigg Boss but the reality show seems to have earned him his second soul mate in Monica Bedi. If sources close to the couple are to be believed they are planning to tie the knot soon. It was initially thought to be a one sided affair but now it seems cupid has also stricken Monica.

Monica revealed that she knows Rahul’s feeling for her are genuine and he wants to marry her. But before such a commitment she would like to talk to him off the cameras which was not possible during their stay at the Bigg Boss house. She added that although she trusted Rahul she was skeptical about marriage as she had committed a grave mistake in the past.

It is interesting as this will be the second marriage for both of them. Rahul was married to Shweta Singh after 13 years of friendship but the marriage ended in a bitter divorce after Shweta alleged physical torture. On the other hand Monica had tied knot with underworld don Abu Salem and had even stayed with him in Gulf with a fake name.

Bigg Boss proved lucky for both Monica and Rahul as they improved upon their public image which was tarnished by their acts in the past. Rahul was the strongest contender to win the show but for his mistake lost out before the Grand Finale. He may have lost interest in the show once Monica was evicted. Only thing, Rahul should keep a close watch on his back as Salem’s sharpshooters might just want to take him down!

Saif to marry Kareena soon

Though many times, Kareena and Saif’s marriage news circulated in air, Chotte Nawab at last spill the beams and satisfied the thirst of those who are longing to know when Bollywood’s most desirable couple will tie the knot. So this is for you all hungry guys. The breaking news is that Saif declared that he is going to get married to his sweetheart very soon.
“This relationship is ‘IT’ for me. Today I feel very settled and very happy, though a bit lonely. And when I’ve bad days, I feel I’m being ungrateful. I’m now looking forward to settling down with Kareena. Our marriage will happen very shortly as soon as we both have a little less work on hand and we can give the marriage quality time. Also, her family has to be ready for our marriage,” he said.
The duo has been pending their marriage for long due to overwork but now they are destined to get married shortly. Saif shares a friendly relationship with Bebo’s parents, he tells, “We’re very close. She has been really gracious in inviting me into her family. She’s made sure I’m part of her family. I’ve also met Daboo uncle (Randhir) a few times, shared friendly drinks with him. As for Karisma, I think she’s the sweetest girl ever in the world. I’m deeply fond of both Karisma and her husband Sanjay (Kapoor). They’re truly wonderful people. Kareena’s family has taken to me as warmly as my family has taken to her.”

I am a sexless person: Kangana

She might be known for playing troubled characters, but Kangna Ranaut says that in real life, she’s more confident and content compared to when she started out.
I’m very calm and at peace now. Things are different, I’m more confident, know what I’m talking about, have learnt a lot… I’ve matured,” she says.
But she hasn’t been around for very long, has she? Kangna says that though she had an unconventional start in the business, she had the patience to wait for people to accept her the way she is. “People take some time accepting something new. I did not come to the industry with a typical look and style, like other actresses do. Many of them commented on the way my hair is, the way I look, the way I talk and how thin I am. But all this did not affect me because Gangster did well and I knew that I’d worked very hard in the movie. The movie will always be a very special part of my life. And now, when people have accepted me, they say that I compete with myself with every role. It’s a great feeling!”
But it hasn’t been all peaches and cream. Kangna had a very public falling out with friend and ‘benefactor’ Aditya Pancholi, didn’t she? “I was very young when I joined the industry,” she says, being careful with her words. “I could not differentiate between right and wrong. There were people who helped me and were really sweet to me. But soon, those people started to think that they owned me. I paid off all my debts and I’m free now – free of all that, and like I said, more mature. The problem is that our industry can intoxicate anyone. That’s why I believe no actor should take their star status seriously. If they do, then they lose it! Thankfully, I’m not one of them,” she says.
She’s on a high with the success of Fashion, but perhaps that’s the reason she stands by her previous films too. “I am proud of all the movies I have done so far. Fashion is one of them. I feel that Woh Lamhe could have shaped up a bit better, but hey, no regrets there either,” she says.
And is life pleasant now with Shekhar Suman’s son Adhyayan? “Yes, I have been dating him for the last eight months and that’s all I’ll tell you,” she says, quickly now. “I want this to be personal. I hope everyone respects that.” Alright, then, some time ago, she had been quoted saying that when she is alone, she either likes to be left alone with a bottle of wine or listen to music. “That was a long time ago. It is just music now and some heart-to-heart with myself.” And what about the tag of being a ‘sexy lady’? “Sexy and me don’t go together in the same line. In fact, I am a sexless person!”

Zulfi’s Bigg Boss party rocked by Blasts

MUMBAI: Bigg Boss participants Zulfi Syed, Rahul Mahajan, Rakhi Vijan and Raja Choudhary had just landed at a five star in Santacruz, Mumbai, when the shattering noise of a bomb blast shook them and members of the media, at a party thrown by Zulfi Syed, to celebrate the culmination of the popular reality show.

“It was devastating. As we entered the hotel, we heard the news of blasts in South Mumbai and were wondering about the scale of damage, when we were shocked to hear a loud blast from somewhere nearby the hotel. It shook everyone up,” said publicist Dale Bhagwagar who had coordinated the media for the event.

It came to be known that a taxi had exploded just two buildings away from the hotel, on the Western Express Highway and nearby the domestic airport. “It was a very sad and grim experience,” said Zulfi. “I wish the world can learn to live in harmony,” he added with a sigh.

Some of the television media rushed out of the hotel to cover the blast, while others, including guests, were too shaken to leave. “Luckily, the hotel’s staff and security were extremely sharp and alert to the situation, and handled it with care and reassurances to all the guests, avoiding any panic situation,” added Bhagwagar. Zulfi too requested everyone to stay back in the hotel premises till things calmed down a bit. Most of the guests adhered to his advice and finally left in the wee hours of the morning.

Pataudi gets to meet its Bahu, Kareena!!!

Kareena Kapoor is all set to take her relationship with Saif to another level. She’ll be visiting his ancestral village Pataudi in Haryana. A privilege that none of Saif ladies from the past have been given. Confesses Saif, “Yes, Kareena has been invited to Pataudi. It’d have been earlier. But it’s too hot right now. Winter is when our family reunions happen every year. And Kareena is now part of the family. My parents are extremely fond of Kareena.” Sighs Saif, “This relationship is ‘IT’ for me. Today I feel very settled and very happy. Though a bit lonely. And when I’ve bad days I feel I’m being ungrateful. I’m now looking forward to settling down with Kareena. Our marriage will happen very shortly as soon as we both have a little less work on hand and we can give the marriage quality time. Also, her family has to be ready for our marriage.” Saif is very happy with Kareena’s mom. “We’re very close. She has been really gracious in inviting me into her family.
She’s made sure I’m part of her family. I’ve also met Daboo Uncle a few times, shared friendly drinks with her. As for Karisma, I think she’s the sweetest girl ever in the world. I’m deeply fond of both Karisma and her husband Sanjay. They’re truly wonderful people. Kareena’s family has taken to me as warmly as my family has taken to her.” Saif has a lot to be thankful for. “My lifestyle has changed completely after the heart attack. Looking back it’s hard to believe I went through such a health scare. If it wasn’t for that life-changing experience I wouldn’t be in a relationship with Kareena right now. I hardly drink. Don’t even look forward to drinking any more. I don’t smoke or party.”

Kareena inspired by Sex in the Ciy’s Jessica Parker

Kareena Kapoor got size hero into fashion with her dud movie Tashan and now Bebo is all set sport a new look for her next flick Kambakht Ishq, where she will be seen aping the style of Sex and The City actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
Incidentally, Bebo was suggested the Parker’s look by elder sister Lolo, she reveals, “My looks in KI will be something audiences haven`t seen before. It`s completely different from ‘Tashan’, ‘Golmaal Returns’ and ‘Jab We Met’. I play a surgeon and a supermodel in ‘Kambakht Ishq’ and my styling has been done keeping my character in mind. I always discuss my roles with Lolo and when I asked her about ‘Kambakht Ishq’, she told me to get inspiration from Sarah Jessica`s Parker`s look in ‘Sex And The City’. Lolo loves watching the TV serial and Sarah`s cool, chic, glamorous and yet simple styles.”
Bebo then adds, “It`s very important for an actor to keep changing his/her looks. It`s a challenge to keep experimenting with your looks according to your role as Aamir and Shah Rukh are doing. After my size-zero look in Tashan it`s a sexier, more real and natural look that I am going in for now for Kambakht Ishq and Rensil`s film”.

Sex Siren Neha Dhupia says she has no Marriage plans

With her Bollywood career on the gallop, Neha Dhupia has no intention of settling down

Neha Dhupia thinks that marriage with boyfriend and ace squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya can wait when her career is going great guns now after a shaky start.

The ex beauty queen, who is known for her bold roles in films like Julie and Sheesha and equally bold statements like ‘opinions are like assholes, everybody has one!’ is out to surprise the audiences again with a totally new image in Shivam Nair’s upcoming Maharathi.

The actress, sounds a lot more confident in recent times with box-office hits like Singh is Kinng and Mithya under her belt, as she steps to conquer new territories.

Neha plays a vampish role in Maharathi and she seems pretty kicked about trying out something different.

“I play an actress who is very ambitious and is married to a film producer played by Naseeruddin Shah.”

Wife to Naseeruddin Shah? Now that’s an achievement, we say! And Neha feels absolutely honoured too to have worked with a senior actor like Naseeruddin Shah and also Paresh Rawal in the film. “I feel blessed to have worked and learned from such fantastic performers,” says Neha.

Her forthcoming films (and a long list at that) will have her playing roles as different as chalk and cheese too. “I’m doing Raat Gayi Baat Gayi with Rajat Kapoor, which has been written by Saurabh Shukla. I have an interesting role in Raftaar opposite Emraan Hashmi where I play the owner of a news channel. I am also starting work in a Priyadarshan film called De Dhana Dhan in which I play a con girl and is an out and out comedy. Then I also have a film with Vinay Pathak called Papu Can’t Dance Saala,” counts off Neha.

So that means no wedding bells (with longstanding boyfriend and squash champion Ritwik Bhattacharya) ringing in the near future? “I have no plans of marriage yet. But we share a fabulous relationship and we are not answerable to anyone,” is her crisp reply.

Well Neha, your film roster brimming over with such interesting projects is answer enough.

Jiah Khan on Maxim

Mugdha Godse topless in her next flim

It is not uncommon to see actresses going topless in Hollywood but it is still not game for Bollywood hot babes. The news is doing the rounds that model turned actress Mugdha Godse was offered a role in a film to be produced by a French production house but she turned it down, as her role requires her to go topless.
The grapevine is abuzz with the news Mugdha was approached to act in the film Raas Leela to be directed by Sharat Chandra. The film is said to have French actress Emmanuelle Beart in leading role. However, Mugdha refused the offer, as she is not ready to go topless.
The hot model made her film debut through Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion.

Delhi Belly is not a sex comedy: Imran Khan

Ranbir Kapoor had opted out of Delhi Belly, saying he wouldn’t be able to watch the film with his parents. Imran Khan, on the other hand, is cool with the sexual content of his uncle Aamir Khan’s English film, but maintains it is not a sex comedy.

“I’d have no problem watching it with my mom or girlfriend. I’ve a cool rapport with my mom,” Imran told IANS.

Imran rejects the notion that Delhi Belly is a sex comedy. “It’s a caper comedy. But, yes, the language is on the stronger side,” he said.

Imran has lost weight and is looking gaunt for his role in Delhi Belly, which he insists is being made for creative reasons. He admits that since it is in English, it was bound to have a limited appeal.

“This new gaunt look is for Delhi Belly. I needed to lose that muscular look. So I’ve stopped gyming completely. I’m not exercising at all. No lifting of weights. And I’m eating as much as I want because I’m not prone to fat at all,” said Imran, who won many hearts with his chocolate boy looks in his debut Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na.

“For Kidnap and Luck, I needed a bulkier role. I played a daredevil and had to jump off the 20th floor. I insisted on doing it myself although the body-double was present. I got a shouting afterwards from my mom, girlfriend and Sanjay Dutt. In fact, Sanjay Dutt phoned Aamir to complain. After having jumped from that height, I’ve lost the fear of stunts,” he said.

But he did get a dressing down from uncle Aamir.

“It’s true Aamir was unhappy when he heard that I insisted on performing my own stunt. He called me over and said, ‘You’ve to be more responsible towards yourself and your family.’

Imran says the stunts always look more real when an actor performs them himself.

“You can always tell the difference between an actor doing it and a double doing it. So I’ll think about it. But for now I’ve had enough of stunts. I want to take a break and do something lighter. Delhi Belly is just the break I needed.”

Two back-to-back action films, and Imran is now saying goodbye to the genre for a while.

“I got no chance to do any stunts in Jaane Tu…. I made up for that in Kidnap and Luck. Now in Delhi Belly, I’ve no action scenes.

“My next action film will have to be really big. I grew up being thrilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. And I had decided if I do those kinds of stunts, I’d do them on my own,” Imran said.

Ranbir-Katrina romance angers Deepika

Looks like Ranbir Kapoor is hell bent on pacifying the hot and sexy Katrina Kaif ever since the ‘one-tight-slap’ episode that took place on the sets of ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahini’. The cuddly-cosy affair on the sets apparently enraged Ranbir’s ladylove Deepika Padukone, who later exchanged some tart words with beau over the phone.
Bollywood glam doll Katrina Kaif recently got hit on the face by Ranbir Kapoor when the two were shooting for Raj Kumar Santoshi’s ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani’ at Madh Island. And, now, it seems that Ranbir is doing anything and everything to keep the leading lady in high spirits.
According to sources, “Deepika Padukone had got the news from her sources about Ranbir’s growing proximity with Katrina, on and off the sets of Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Ajab…’ during the two month shooting schedule in Ooty. Deepika got very insecure when her sources from the sets of the same film told her about what was happening between the two in the Goa schedule.”
The source further added, “It is learnt that during the Goa shoot both Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif appeared more than comfortable with each other than before, even in front of the unit members on the sets. Deepika Padukone went to Goa straightaway after hearing the news. During her one day trip she met her source and came back to Mumbai.”
Apparently Ranbir tried to sought out the issue but the two ended up fighting like cats and dogs and ceased the conversation on a real bitter note. Well, we really wonder if Salman’s aware of the news?

Kareena does not want to be ‘Size Zero’ anymore

Size zero is out for actress Kareena Kapoor. In her next release, “Kambakht Ishq”, she plays a surgeon who moonlights as a supermodel and for it she has put on extra pounds.
“I weigh 54 kg now, which for a girl of my height is quite fine. People used to wonder what ’size zero’ is and I’d joke, ‘Just look at me’. I don’t want that any more. I want to look like a normal healthy girl. My forthcoming releases required me to get back to a fuller shape,” said Kareena, who sported size zero in “Tashan” and “Golmaal Returns”.
“In ‘Kambakht Ishq’, my character flies to Italy to become a supermodel to support herself financially. I didn’t want to play the character looking like an international model because she’s basically in another profession. So she can’t really have the figure of Victoria Beckham, can she? I had to look more filled up,” she told reporters.
In “Mr & Mrs Khanna” too, Kareena is sporting the same look.
“Again, for my next release ‘Mr & Mrs Khanna’ with Salman Khan, I play a wife. So I wanted to look more filled up. Not that wives can’t be curvaceous. The one I played in ‘Golmaal Returns’ certainly was,” she said.

John Abraham is 2008’s sexiest Asian

Bollywood actor John Abraham has been adjudged the sexiest Asian man in the world in 2008. In the annual round conducted by Eastern Eye, a leading British Asian weekly, Abraham emerged the top in a shortlist of 10.
The weekly sent judges a shortlist of 10 names. The judges then ranked the names according to their individual preferences and the newspaper then compiled the results to produce a final list.

Padma Lakshmi’s Naked Truth

Top Chef’s Padma Lakshmi has been in the news lately for two reason: posing naked in Allure and for co-founding the Endometriosis Foundation of America.
Padma has decided to take her personal experiences of her medical battle with endometriosis and raise awareness on the condition. Endometriosis is a women’s condition that affects fertility but can be treated with surgery. It is fairly common, however many women are not aware and are not getting tested. Padma was under the care of Dr. Tamer Seckin, had the surgery and has made a full recovery. Dr. Seckin and Padma have co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America together.
“It’s a very personal issue,” Padma Lakshmi told People Magazine. “It has to do with the most private aspect of a woman’s life, and when I had to have surgery, I had to miss work and explain why. I just found that in talking to people, not many people knew what it was.”

“It’s probably the most prevalent disease” affecting reproductive health, explains Dr. Tamer Seckin. “It’s also the most misunderstood, misdiagnosed, mismanaged and mistreated. And women, because of that, end up being infertile and in chronic pain.”
On April 20, Padma Lakshmi and Dr. Tamer Seckin will host the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s first fundraiser, “The Blossom Ball,” at the New York’s Prince George Ballroom in Manhattan.

That’s not all the 38-year-old model and Top Chef host is up to these days. On April 21, Allure’s ‘Naked Truth’ feature will hit newsstands and Padma is one of five celebrities who decided to bare it all. In the issue, she talks about preparing for the shoot and says, “I exercised a little bit extra, but I actually think I look better when I have a little bit of weight on-my breasts are fuller, and I’m curvier than when I’m at my thinnest.”
We agree!

How Aamir got his eight pack abs

When Aamir Khan’s bare-chested stills from Ghajini were released they became the talk of the town. Questions were raised on weather it was another digital masterpiece but considering the perfectionist that Aamir is, he will be the last actor in Bollywood to fake it. Now Aamir himself has revealed the secret behind his stunning physique especially his eight pack abs.
Aamir who has a normal build said that he had to work very hard for almost a year to get that perfect shape. His trainer made sure he worked out for 3-4 hours daily and had a good eight hours sleep. Aamir also maintained a strict protein rich diet which included egg whites and fruits. Such was the actor’s determination that he would scream while doing the ab-crunches.
Well you can trust Aamir to put in that much effort for any role he does. The movie which is a remake of a Tamil movie by the same name is directed by A R Murugadoss and releases on December 25. It stars southern sensation Asin in the female lead while Jiah Khan, Pradeep Rawant and Riyaz Khan play the other roles.

Meet Freida Pinto: The Sexy ‘Millionaire Slumdog’ Actress

‘A Star is Almost Born’, is how one of the headlines about the new movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, describe its chief female protagonist Freida Pinto.  The 24-year-old model turned actress, though born and bred in the metro, traces her roots to Mangalore. The movie, by British director Danny Boyle, has won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival.
The second daughter of Frederick Pinto (Neerude), senior branch manager, Bank of Baroda, and Sylvia Pinto (Derebail), principal, St John’s High School, Goregaon, Freida has set film circles abuzz with her spectacular debut. Her sole sibling Sharon Pinto is an associate producer with NDTV.

Besides this, she also featured in several television and print commercials for products such as Wrigleys Chewing Gum, Skoda, Hutch, Airtel, and De Beers. Ramp shows and magazine covers are also part of her resume.

Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of how Jamal, a contestant on reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ uses this medium to contact his childhood love, Latika.  Dev Patel plays the male lead. The movies also stars Irrfan Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Mahesh Manjrekar.
Going by the success of her first film it is safe to assume that audiences are sure to see plenty more of this lovely, young, new, star on the block!

How Aamir Got His Ghajini Hair cut

What Aamir Khan wants, he gets.
For example, the actor wanted a different look for his latest film Ghajini. And luckily for us, he even got the whole procedure on camera.

As the photographer clicked away, hair stylist Avan Contractor got busy with Aamir’s hair. The actor looked calm and composed, and he had every right to be. The two have worked together before in Dil Chahta Hai. Aamir really liked Avan’s work and became a big fan atfer the movie.

First, Avan trimmed the hair with a pair of scissors. Then out came the shearers, giving a new shape.

 

Strategically placed grooves were shaved. After the work was done, Aamir critically examined the cut before giving his thumbs up.

We just hope his new look works for Ghajini.
