Katrina & Salman - officially over?

The news is finally out. Katrina Kaif has willingly admitted that she is no longer seeing Salman Khan. The remarkable actress has always been oh-so-secretive about her and Salman's relationship. However after reading and hearing about various intimate stories, Kaif just refused to allow sleeping dogs lie and decided it was time to set a few things straight.

Moreover, the lovely lass was adamant in not wanting upset Ranbir Kapoor, whom she is allegedly seeing now, and his family, as they have gracefully accepted her. Kat has confirmed that although she is no longer romantically involved with Sallu, they will still remain friends.

Wonder what prompted the sudden confession now?

Dunno Y...Postponed to Diwali

Bollycurry recently reported about the international success and acclaim being garnered by the movie Dunno Y'Na Jaane Kyun. On the home front, though, anticipation for the movie has been fraught with protests, so much, that the release for the movie is being postponed to Diwali.

The youth unit of a right-wing political party has been sending threats to the producers of the film, insisting that homosexuality goes against the culture of India. Other individuals and organizations have also been doing the same, on grounds of culture, heritage, and value systems, compelling the producers to postpone the film's release, so matters can first be resolved. The release date has hence been shifted from the Friday just past, to Diwali weekend.

A sharp bolly-goer will notice that the release date now coincides with that of 2010 mega releases, Action Replayy and Golmaal 3.

Can it influence the commercial success of this already troubled movie? We suppose so. The producers are, however, unfazed by this. They state that the other two movies are both comedies, and thus in an entirely different genre from Dunno Y, which focuses more on the emotional conflicts that the two protagonists face, arising from their gay relationship in an Anglo-Indian family.

The producers are emphasizing that they are not sensationalizing homosexuality, and have even invited their adversaries to watch the film and judge for themselves, so that the film's release will finally be a smooth one.

After all, presenting a minority section's side of the story, and points of view, can't be thoughtlessly tagged averse to culture, always?

We wish the movie all the best in its release!

Break ke Beech!

News is that Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone, the two leads from Break Ke Baad had a ball of a time during 'breaks' between shoots for the movie. Or rather, they had a basketball of a time!

The two stars, who are known to be sporty in the literal sense of the word, and very competitive at that, were often found at a makeshift court located near the sets in between film shots, engaging in serious games of basketball with a bunch of other cast and crew members. Of course, both Imran and DP were on opposite teams!

Onlookers claim that the victories of such matches were fairly evenly distributed between the two sides, with Immu's side winning sometimes, and DP's at others!

There's nothing like friendly competition to forge a stronger bond between co-stars, we say!

Much in love - Abhishek and Aishwarya!

We've all heard about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looking splendid walking the ramp for Manish Malhotra at a recent fashion week. We've all also sighed over the lovey dovey exchange between the actress and her husband, Abhishek Bachchan - the strong eye contact, flying kisses and shower of compliments. Well, that wasn't just an act. The couple seems to be genuinely crazy about each other … well we witnessed the golden couple tied together at the Lux Superstar Offer winners meet and greet in London. Lux, the brand endorsed by the announced a unique initiative which enabled 12 lucky winners to travel to London.

An insider spills the beans… Abhi-Ash looked so much in love while entering the venue holding hands; dressed in formal evening wear… they looked aptly dressed for a dinner date. Like any other couple, they were completing each other's sentences, teasing and just simply enjoying each other's company. Even while interacting with the winners, there was an easy camaraderie which was clearly visible.

If you don't believe us check out the pictures yourself!

Don2 Press Conference in Berlin!

The Bollywood Badshah is back again with Don-2: The Chase Continues. The latest buzz is that the crew has started shooting in Berlin, Germany. The entire team is all set to shoot for almost 50 days in Berlin. Like the prequel, the film has Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra as the leads.

Feelings of excitement and anticipation were expressed by members of the cast and crew at a press conference held on Friday where King Khan stated that Berlin has been chosen as the location for his the action packed sequel.

Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, and directed by Farhan Akhtar, Don 2 is the sequel to the 2006 box-office hit Don: The Chase Begins Again, which in turn is a remake of the 1978 classic Don, starring Amitabh Bachchan.

According to projections, Don-2 is expected to hit the screens in December next year.

We, at BollyCurry, can't wait for this one! What about you?

Dunno Y...Na Jaane Kyun Wins Viewers Choice Award!

One of the first Bollywood flicks to address alternative lifestyles - homosexual relationships, in particular - has already won an award at the Trikone International Film Festival in Sydney!

The festival allowed viewers to vote for their favorites from among the nominees for Best Film category, and it is hence that the response to Sanjay Sharma's film was so overwhelming that the festival had to screen the film again.

This film, apart from this recent recognition, has other accolades to its credit. It has previously won an award at the Mumbai International Queer Festival, and the two lead actors, Kapil Sharma and Yuvraaj Parashar, received awards from the government of Maharashtra for their outstanding performance.

The movie has done extremely well in the more liberal audience markets worldwide, including London and New York, but we wonder if the film, which also has a liplock shared between the male protagonists, will be as successful in its more conservative home ground!

Robot for legal trouble?

Rajnikant and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's superhit movie, Robot, regionally named Endhiran, has run into some legal trouble. And once more, legal trouble implies copyright acts violation.



Apparently, Tamil novelist Aarur Nadan has lodged a complaint against the director and producer of Robot. The novelist claims that the movie's plot line was based on a novel that he wrote in 1996 for a local magazine. Nadan stated that he first sent a notice to the director and producer but received no response in return so now he has decided to approach the law for justice.


We sure hope a settlement can come about between the movie's team and the claiming author - before the fame earned by Endhiran can bear unnecessary blemishes.

Atif Aslam - Yet another import to Bollywood !!

Time to hold your breaths, ladies! This piece comes especially for the young girls going ga-ga over the very talented, tall, handsome hunk of a Pakistani Singer with a voice to match! You guessed it right, we are talking about none other than the "Tere Bin Main Yoon Kaise Jiyaa" boy, Atif Aslam!

Recently, it was a different Pakistani singer who made his Bollywood debut with Tere Bin Laden ' Mr. Ali Zafar, and now it's Atif who's all set to sizzle on the big screen with his piercing looks and deep hypnotic eyes. Rumor has it that Kumar Taurani from the Tips House is casting him for their next film and currently the talks are in their final stages.

A little birdie tells us that he may even be signing a contract for more than two films with Tips. Atif has also been associated with Tips for various music ventures over the years. Also, he has a music album lines up for release during the earlier part of 2011 followed by the formal announcement of his film. The best part is to be that Atif will most probably be doing the playback singing for the film as well.

Happy?! Indeed! So wait and watch for yet more action from the hunky singer! For further information, keep watching this space..

Danish Aslam & Shruti Seth tie the knot

Shruti Seth has prewviously featured as a side in films like Fanaa, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and most recently Raajneeti. However, 2010 has brought her exceptional fame with the great success of her popular TV series Rishta.Com by YRF-TV productions, where she played the popular female protagonist Isha Mirchandani!
And 2010 continues to be quite the year she shall not forget, for Shruti Seth is now a married lady!

Indeed!

Tying the knot with her steady boyfriend of four years, Danish Aslam, the duo got married last weekend, in Goa. Danish, for the uninitiated, has just directed his first film, the soon to release, Break Ke Baad, starring Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone for Kunal Kohli Productions.

The wedding in Goa was an extremely private affair and the guest list limited itself to the likes of Kunal Kohli, Imran Khan, Avantika Malik, Deepika Padukone, Siddhartha Mallya, Maria Goretti, Mini Mathur, Gul Panag and VJ Yudi.

We at BollyCurry wish the lovely couple years of love to come by, and many more successes on the way!

Ritesh & Juhi's endorsement ventures!

There is no doubt when one proclaims Ritesh Deshmukh as an actor who has achieved name and fame in a relatively short span of time. So much so that his significance in Bollywood just simply cannot be denied. Shining in movies such as Masti, Heyy Babyy, Aladin and Housefull amongst many others, he has certainly charmed one and all with his comedic excellence.

Paying off from all the hard work, we can now welcome Ritesh into the world of brand endorsements. Ritesh has very excitedly accepted to fulfil the role as Brand Ambassador of Videocon Mobiles.

Meanwhile, Juhi Chawla has also been keeping herself busy. Juhi has confirmed that she will be adding yet another endorsement to her kitty by accepting to be the Brand Ambassador of Sidhee Cement.

Congrats to them both and wishing them yet more success in the lucrative world of endorsements!.

King Khan and His Queen Complete 20!

25th of October marks Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan's 20th wedding anniversary. Yes, two decades of family bliss, but unfortunate are circumstances which render them apart on their special day. For instead of spending it with his better half, SRK will be away in the chilly German capital, Berlin, shooting for Akhtar's sequel, Don 2.

Though he's going to be away on their anniversary, SRK, the self proclaimed joru ka ghulam on national television, has his way to make up to his long time lady love! On November 2nd, which happens to be King Khan's birthday, he plans to take a break and spend exclusive, cherished time with his family.

In Rome, a special screening of My Name Is Khan, is going to be held at the international film festival. Instead of going alone to the pristine city, SRK will whisk along wife Gauri and kids Aryan and Suhana to attend the occasion. Close mate Karan Johar will be joining them.

Although that's a plan to have, we sure hope Shahrukh, the romantic icon of Hindi cinema will have some secret scheme up his sleeve for the special day coming up this week, marking two decades of the Khans' togetherness!

Double Celebrations for the Dutts!

Bollywood's bad guy-good guy-comic guy all-in-one-pack Sanjay Dutt becomes proud Papa to not one, but two blessed babies, as wife Manyata Dutt gave birth to twins on October 21st.

Sanjay who had an older daughter named Trisha of his first wedding with Richa Sharma, is extremely pleased to have his little bundles of joy at this later stage of life, because his daughter's life in the US was beginning to grow as a loneliness on him.

Fellow industrywalas and close friends who are thrilled by this delightful news for the Dutts have showered the proud parents with wishes and gifts.

We at BollyCurry follow suit, and wish Sanjay, wife Manyata, and the two new-borns much love and luck ahead!

Khiladi Kumar Injured !

A Saturday night indulgence in playing DJ with 70's chartbusters to chose from at club Polyster, proved a lure for Akshay Kumar, and eventually a nightmarish experience for Aditya Roy Kapoor, Vipul Shah and Kumar himself. It took only 20 minutes of dedication to the task of DJ-ing for Akshay to get unassumingly immersed in the fun of it, such that most else was transiently lost upon him!

In fact, Khiladi Kumar must've spent more then half an hour just DJ-ing his favorite songs. But after a stay that long, things started heating up. The crowds started piling in and in fact, doors had to be closed to further entrants for the night.

As soon as windows started breaking, the trio realized that the time for them to leave was about. With no other option left, they all tried to get out from the back doors of the club. But they soon saw what is often said about trouble barging in from everywhere at once! The attempt to exit back doors was thwarted as people were crowding up there too. Without option the hasty exit was made, but not without the trio incurring their individual share of roughing injuries.

The moment they got themselves into Akki's car, the three men were more than hurried about escaping the spot.

What was supposed to have been a fun promotional event for the upcoming blast from the past movie Action Replayy, co starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with Akshay Kumar, ended up being a big trouble and disaster for these three.

Kats embrace of gratitude

Bollywood newbie Ali Zafar recently proved himself to be a real-life hero as he jumped to Katrina Kaif's rescue.

The pair were on the sets of their upcoming romantic comedy Meray Brother Ki Dulhan (also starring Imran Khan), when Katrina managed to get her hair stuck in a pedestal fan on the sets. (Yes trouble and all his friends have a knack to stalk the Brit babe around!)

It was the quick thinking of Zafar, who rushed to free her from the fan, that prevented Katrina from receiving any injuries, and losing those lovely locks. The shaken actress immediately showed her gratitude by giving the Pakistani singer a Kat-hug.

Unfortunately Zafar did not escape unscather, having suffered minor bruising on his arm whilst saving Kaif. Sharing his fate was spot boy Raju who was also involved in the incident as his hand was tucked in the fan.

Well, for someone who hadn't known the diva's name not so long ago - Ali is sure going fast bonding with his lovely co-star! Here's to a blooming friendship!

Imran and Deeps next project!

Dinesh Vijan (Love Aaj Kal) may be a busy man as he gears up for the release of his much in talks Saif-Bebo venture, Agent Vinod, but that hasn't kept him away fro hi next project after.

Whilst the producer has so far worked in collaboration with Saif Ali Khan under their banner Illuminati Films, rumour is that Dinesh may very well go solo as he considers roping in the as of yet fresh couple Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone for his leads.

Also linked to the project is the name of Director Homi Adajania. However, as his previous project was none other than the infamous Being Cyrus, we wonder a romantic comedy coming from him would be like?

Meanwhile, Agent Vinod is steadily progressing towards completion for a May 2011 release.

Exclusive Peek: Koochie-Koochie Hota Hai!

Anjali
Anjali

Koochie Koochie Hota Hai is an animated Bollywood film which is based on the mega blockbuster of 1998, the Dharma Productions venture Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Of course, the latter needs no more introductions!

The animation meanwhile, is to be presented by Karan Johar who is also co-producing it with Prana Studios. The film has three adorable dogs playing the lead roles of the lead actors. It is heard that the lead actor SRK has given his voice for the film, while jumping onto the team also, are Sanjay Dutt and Ritiesh Deshmukh.

Cute or what? Be sure to tell us!

Robot's Success at BO!

The Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - Rajnikant starrer Robot (Endhiran) which was released on 1st October, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra's Anjaana Anjaani, is said to have given the boot not only to the latter youthful and much awaited venture (which has also done fairly well for itself), but has also made an independent record of its own at BO, in its opening week.
Grossing a whopping 117 Crores INR, it has broken the record set by Eid time release Dabangg (starring Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha) which had grossed 82 Crores in it's first week.

Although success in the South for its regional release Endhiran had been more than expected, the extreme commercial profit made with the Bollywood version Robot is a cause of celebration for cast and crew alike.

Female protagonist Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who's Ratnam directorial Raavan opposite hubby Abhishek had fared dismally at BO earlier this year, now stands tall with a mega-hit in her kitty, and two upcoming releases to look forward to - Guzaarish (with Hrithk Roshan) and Action Replayy (with Akshay Kumar).

6. She loves reading fantasy fiction. It's said that she refuses to eat or drink before she's done reading! There's one avid reader for you!

'Munni Badnaam Hui' in bad light again!

Controversies never seem to end for the latest chart-buster "Munni Badnaam Hui" from Arbaaz Khan's super hit movie Dabangg. After the recent news about the Zandu balm makers filing a legal suit against the producer for using their name without their permission, issues raise yet again and this time, for lifting from another song.

Apparently, the music is copied from the 1992 Pakistani movie Mr. Charlie, starring the comedian-actor Umer Sharif. The original song is "Ladka badnaam hua haseena tere liye".

Upon hearing uncanny resemblance to his song, the Pakistani actor was livid and as per reports, is thinking of pursuing a legal course of action to set it right. On the other hand, the composer of the apparently copied version, Lalit Pandit, refutes the claims.

More so, we've also heard that there is yet another older version to the Pakistani version. It is a very old U.P. Folk song "Chora Badnaam Hua Nasiban Tere Liye" from which lot more film makers were inspired and numerous versions of the song were made.

So is Umer Sharif doing right by raising this issue? We, at BC just hope that this song doesn't get badnaam anymore.

Lisa Ray - To Hell & Back!

Actress Lisa Ray is proving to be something of a phoenix - back from the ashes, not literally even if! As per the Indo-Canadian actress's own claims, she feels like she has been reborn, coming back fit and fine after fighting the deadly disease of cancer.

38-years old, Lisa has found a new meaning to her life which has been recovered the hardest way. After undergoing stem cell transplant in January to treat Multiple Myeloma, in which the body's immunologic plasma cells become cancerous, Ray believes it has been like a cleaning from inside. Beyond this point, she plans to reestablish her life, priorities and control of matters.

And this new, and revitalized Lisa makes it on to the latest cover of the esteemed Indian celebrity fashion magazine, Elle. BollyCurry brings you a glimpse of the actress, back in action!

Kudos to Lisa for her brave fighting spirit. Everyone has a lesson to learn from you, Lady Ray!

Asin's internet woes !

So Ghajini girl Asin has been stressed out lately.

You ask why?

Turns out there are a number of fake profiles under Asin's name on various social networking websites. Another case of online impostors! Asin is upset, because she who is currently active on no social networking sight, feels in-appropriated by people posing to be her. The actress does express the possibility of joining the vast expanding bandwagon of online interacting celebrities from tinsel town.

Until that happens, all accounts in her name have been declared void by the actress.

Here's hoping the real Asin will give her countless internet-smitten fans a chance to rejoice, and soon!

Neha Dupia, behind the mike?

Neha will be singing a song for her upcoming movie "Phas Gaya Re Obama" which has been directed by Subash Kapoor. In the movie, Neha plays a female gangster. The film also features Rajat Kapoor and Amole Gupte.

Director, Subash Kapoor felt that since the song was based on Neha's character,getting the actress to lend her vocals for it would be a different and authentic change. Neha was reluctant at first but finally agreed. The song was recorded last week.

Well, seems like Neha is following the footsteps of legendary actors like Big.B, SRK, Macho Khan Salman, and Sanjay Dutt.

Here's awaiting Neha's vocal debut!

PC's Nose Job!

So it turns out that Priyanka Chopra, the beloved diva of countless many, has not always had perfect opinions about her own self. One of her long time woes, apparently, has been her less than pin-point nose.

Considering that her own folks run a cosmetology clinic back home, her father being a plastic surgeon, it's surprising that the lady didn't get a fixing surgery done much earlier to ward off her personal displeasure of it.

However, a greater surprise comes now, when the grapevine is abuzz with rumors that claim how Piggy Chops has gotten that very same nose job done some place in London!

While speculations are still rife over the matter, one thing is for certain - the nose has undeniably gone sharper, an observation that was made by many eagle eyed fashionistas at the Being Human ramp walk. And it seems to have left dear Miss Chopra with a very pleased feeling!

Well that's mission accomplished then - when and how can't matter so much! We wish PC even more luck 'sniffing' out success with her never-better-before sniff-aids!

Straightforward Salman For Big Boss 4

Big Boss 4, which is being aired on Colors TV, is currently the most awaited reality show on television, especially so cause macho man Salman Khan shall be seen hosting it, a decision he is said to have made following his mother's advice.

Salman, as we all may know, is a candid person, occasionally to the extent that it gets him into trouble. Consequently, the anticipating viewers can gear up for the fresh fourth season of BB with a host who will take 'candor' to newer heights for this reality show! So much, that Salman has officially guaranteed authenticity and frankness of words this season.

No cut. No paste. No edits!

He is known to have forewarned the contestants to behave, lest they wish to see the worst side of him. Knowing Salman, would they really want to get him there? We think not!

Meanwhile, stay tuned - there's more drama, more masti, and more controversy, on its way for you!

Priyanka's craving to be with family

Priyanka Chopra, who has been unexceptionally caught up with her endless shooting schedules and promotional regimes, has been missing home for a while. This time hence, while leaving for Berlin where she's shooting for Akhtar's sequel Don 2, she has talked her family into taking a holiday and joining her on the location!

She'd planned for a week off at home in between her latest release Anjaana Anjaani and this shooting schedule in Berlin, but that plan was upset when AA's release date was moved ahead.

Although this should be a fun break for her parents, they are probably also going to find reasons to fuss and worry about their princess! Owing to the PC's regular overtimes on the sets and her more than occasional overworking. And to top it, the stunts she will be required to perform this time for Don 2.

Their concern stems more so from the incident last year when she had been hospitalized for stressed routine. And while her parents worry for her,PC is all for her work cause, and believes her folks will come around to understanding its like this, to stay!

We sure hope it wont be all work and no play for the beautiful lady, especially as she drags her family along halfway across the globe!

Big B a Happy 68th Birthday

Yesterday Amitabh Bachchan celebrated a spectacular 68th birthday!

Whilst some eager fans restlessly queued outside the Bachchan residence in Mumbai to catch a glimpse of their favorite superstar, numerous others across India offered prayers for their big screen idol's happiness and continued good health.

It was also a sight to behold across the banks of Sangam where many ardent fans came together to perform religious rituals and chant hymns for the star whilst sand sculptures were also modeled lovingly on the riverbank to mark the special occasion.

When probed about his plans; Amitabh, who enjoys solitude to a loud bash, spent the day quietly with his family (Abhi Jr and Ash having flown in from their commitments in South Korea to celebrate) before tuning in to Sony's Season 4 of Kaun Banega Crorepati which premiered last night.

The story after a happy ending

Have you ever wondered what happens to a couple after their story in the film ends? Is it always just a blissful end before a perfect beginning? Well, director Kunal Kohli has decided its about time we get a reality check on the after, of happily ever after!

In his upcoming flick, Break Ke Baad, starring Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone, director Kohli has actually shot an epilogue to the story, after the screenplay is over.

What possessed him to do this?

Well, after Hum Tum, everyone was interested in knowing what happened to Karan and Rhea post the 'happy ending'. However, despite requests for a sequel to the Saif-Rani blockbuster, Kohli put his foot down. It is then, his way of making up to the fans. And hence comes about an epilogue, Break Ke Baad!

As can be gauged, this extra bit is intent upon showing a glimpse into the life that Deepika and Imraan will live after the story is over.

Also, there happens to be a related music video that was shot for the film. While at first Kunal wanted to do away with it, upon much insistence from the lead pair, and a belated appreciation of the lyrics, Kunal has included the video as well.

What were this magic weaving lyrics? It is being claimed that a certain line "Dooriyan zaroori hai" did the job. Kohli is a strong believer of separations in love, it turns out. The line just clicked it for him!

So let's get all geared up to witness the first ever 'After the Happily Ever After' screenplay in Kunal Kohli's Break ke Baad.

Salim At Length on Bachelor Salman!

While his numerous romantic escapades have kept the grapevine abuzz for years now, Salman Khan's seemingly eternal single status has at its best incited multiple speculations - from industrywalas and fans alike!

For once however, the media has found someone willing to give the answers. That being Daddy Salim Khan himself.

A popular script writer of yesteryear (in partnership with Javed Akhtar back then), Salim Khan sure is one seasoned man. And it is perhaps the wisdom of those years added to fatherly knowing, which brings out a confident, unfaltering reply in response to endless queries pertaining to Sallu's seemingly perpetual single-hood.

To quote the old artist himself, "There's a contradiction in Salman's character. He gets attracted to women from his industry only... his co-stars become his love interests. Once a relationship is established he starts looking for his mom in them. Now that is not possible." [(C) IANS]

And one can't help but go wide eyed at the suggestions of that answer...

Thankfully, Salim sahib elaborates. Salman, who has been a launch pad for several new female faces - Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bijlani, Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif, Zarine Khan... and most recently Sonakshi Sinha - tends to become emotionally attached with the newcomers, in more cases than not. Romanticism ensues, and it is that after which Salman's expectations of 'his lady' sky rocket, Daddy Salim claims. When he starts seeking his mom in the freshly launched 'struggling' actresses, expectantly, they can never meet his expectations which range from cooking food to doing laundry to almost home keeping for him.

Voila! The only reason to digest such unexpected inside facts comes on account of the source being Salman's father Salim himself.

Consequently, the topic shifts focus to the mystery behind Sallu-Kat's relationship. Where does it currently stand. Where is it headed? Again, it seems, Salim saab is more than willing to be candid. While he claims ignorance of the 'precise situation' he does admit having little hope of an eventual matrimonial bond between the two. He reasons that when a marriage is delayed so long and far, it usually implies elements of uncertainty between concerned individuals. And that. he believes, is not a positive sign.

Wrapping up his interview, Salim Khan expresses concern for Salman's repetition of the same mistake - expecting a fresher into the industry to concentrate on his home and life, over the career she has set her eye upon. Obviously, a recipe for disaster!

With such insight into Salman Khan's relationship woes, we suppose the picture is more than clear. As fans of his talent, we still hope to see the day that the beloved macho Khan will settle down. Amen!

Deepika On South Asian Bride

BollyCurry brings to you the new October cover of South Asian Bride featuring the one and only, Deepika Padukone.

Deepika adorns a beautiful red bridal dress designed by the aspiring and powerful designer, Tarun Tahiliani. The South Asian vintage bride look is fabulous on Deepika, what with those big, bold and beautiful eyes catching your gaze from the cover.

What are your views?

John's Love Not A Lie!

A part of the promotional campaign for John Abraham's upcoming movie, Jhootha Hi Sahi, included the demo testing of a lie detector.

While in the initial publicity rounds the detector was all-conspiring against the actor, testifying him a liar with each subsequent trial, in one among the latter attempts the device eventually seemed to 'warm up' to the unfailing Abraham charms!

Here's what happened.

The actor was asked to truthfully declare whether or not he was finally ready to tie the knot with long-time girlfriend and colleague, Bipasha Basu. When John said yes, he was put on test with the lie detector...which miraculously actually sided with Abraham for once and declared that he was telling the truth!

Enough to have John sigh in relief, we bet!

The movie hits the halls on October 15th, which also happens to be the release date for lady love Basu's Aakrosh.

FIRST LOOK : Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

The anticipation for YRF's next production came to an end as the shooting regime finally commenced for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Starring Imran Khan, Katrina Kaif and the newer lad on Bolly-block, Ali Zafar (of Tere Bin Laden fame)

Written and directed by debutant Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Aditya Chopra, the movie for which filming kicked off last week is aiming for a mid-2011 release.

Set in the upper middle class strata of North Indian society, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is scripted as a musical romantic comedy which will see Imran Khan play the role of a brother who gets smitten to his brother's (Ali Zafar) bride!

First time director Ali Abbas Zafar, has been associated with the Yash Raj Films production house for quite some time now, having assisted on projects like Badmaash Company, New York, Tashan and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.

Here's catching a first glimpse!

Wedding Bells for Imran-Avantika !

So finally, Imran's all geared up to announce his D-Day!

Eager to be elevated to the married man status he has been a while now, having gotten engaged to longtime love Avantika on January 16th this year. And now, if the grapevine is to be believed, this coming January, exactly a year after, is going to be the day these lovebirds tie the knot!

The wedding is being planned out on a grand scale. Sources are claiming that t he wedding will take place at a palatial resort in Thailand , where all the guests attending the wedding will be accommodated.

Apparently, Imran has also asked Karan Johar, the producer of Imran's upcoming movie Short Term Shaadi to adjust his shooting dates in order to accommodate his break for the wedding and its many affairs.

Salman and Govinda at odds!

There had been buzz previously, as was reported by BollyCurry, over a rift coming between one time close friends Govinda and Salman Khan. Apparently, the rift had been over the launch of Govinda's daughter Narmmada, a promise made by Salman but never fulfilled. Although both Govinda and his daughter had trashed all rumors as false, buzz is gaining ground again, post the success of Dabangg at BO.

Incidentally, Dabangg which launched Shotgun Shatrugan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi instead, could have been the venture for Narmmada.

Govinda's absence at Dabangg's success party hence was impossible to miss. Whilst he insisted that his lack of invitation did not bother him, he has gone on to surprise countless fans by turning down the offer to be a part of the Partner sequel, the original of which cast Govinda and Salman together and was a blockbuster at BO.

Hrithik to Turn into a host?

Like his popular contemporaries, actor Hrithik Roshan is joining the bandwagon of making his small screen debut.


The bollywood heart throb, best known for his stupendous dancing skills, will be soon hosting a dance reality show which is expected to begin in the next year.


Sources reveal that the channel will be paying the star Rs 2 Crore per episode. The show, that is scheduled to be 56 episodes long, will fetch the actor a whopping total of 52 Crore. This will also make him the highest paid tinsel town actor. Close second to the star comes Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar who got paid Rs 1.5 Crore respectively for each episode of their shows.


In the mean while, Hrithik was in London for his soon to be unveiled wax statue at Madame Tussauds!

Here's hoping the dashing Mr. Roshan finds yet more success!

Showdown: John vs. Bipasha !

The past nine years have seen Bollywood's hottest couple, John and Bipasha, making it through various highs and lows together, despite numerous link-ups with other co-stars and rumors about breaking up. But they have remained steadfast and together, and that is, or should we say, was all that mattered.

However, it seems like the couple has reached the moment of 'agni pareeksha', with both John's and Bipasha's respective movies being released together on October 15.

With Ajay Devgan as the co-star, Bipasha's film Akrosh is based on the issue of honor killings taking place in the state of Haryana. While the film was supposed to release two weeks ago, the date got delayed due to Ayodhya's verdict. Now, it's all set to release on the same date as John's upcoming film Jhoota Hi Sahi.

With both their movies releasing together on the same day, it seems that the two lovebirds will be facing some fierce competition. Bipasha even commented about the matter on her Twitter page and wishes that both films do well on the box office.

Though belonging to vastly different genres, we hope that the two movies do 'well' for the audiences. Here's wishing the couple good luck!!

Priyanka's Car Trouble !

Guess who has suffered major losses while promoting for the upcoming flick, Anjaana Anjaani? No, it's not the director of the film, and definitely not Ranbir or Priyanka. Turns out, it is Priyanka Chopra's car! Wonder how? Read on to find out more.

The Anjaana Anjaani star was recently visiting KC College, Mumbai with Ranbir Kapoor to promote their upcoming movie. However, it seems that the students were so excited to see their favorite actress at their campus, that they became a little too enthusiastic!

Fans caused such a commotion upon spotting the two stars leaving the college that there was a big rush resulting in Priyanka's white Mercedes getting damaged.

Whilst the car suffered a few scratches, dents on the bonnet and even the paint chipping off in a few places, Priyanka was surprisingly calm about the whole ordeal and simply chalked it up to adoring fans. Some celebrities definitely need to take a page out of her book!!!

Here's wishing the diva all the best for her newest release!

Ali Zafar unaware of 'who' Katrina is!!

Apparently, Ali Zafar, who entered the Bollywood industry with his debut movie "Tere Bin Ladin", doesn't know much about the film industry. After making an impact in his first movie, he has been signed by Yashraj Films for their next movie with Katrina Kaif. Turns out, Ali is pretty unaware of 'who' Katrina is!!

It started with both Ali Zafar and Katrina Kaif being present at a party, where Katrina thought it would be nice to meet her future co-star. She went over to him and tried talking to a baffled Mr. Zafar who did not have a clue as to who she was! After such an incident a star would normally either be angry or upset, but Katrina took it rather nicely and introduced herself to Ali Zafar.

Later Katrina explained, that Ali was new and doesn't know everyone and that when she entered the industry she herself did not know anyone. Surprisingly, after having spent 4 years in the fraternity, she still doesn't know everyone!.

Well, now we are sure Ali does know who Katrina is! And maybe, Mr. Zafar has also learnt the lesson to do a little research on his upcoming co-stars next time around!
