Abhishek does a Salman

If all goes well, and with his mother Jaya Bachchan's permission, Abhishek Bachchan would be taking off his shirt for the first time in Dhoom 3. For this, he has met two of the top physical trainers in LA earlier this week.
Says a source, "With the help of these two renowned trainers who have worked on the physique of a number of iconic Hollywood stars Abhishek hopes to build his self-confidence (read: muscles) enough to appear bare-chested on the screen for the first time in Dhoom 3." There's just one hitch.

Abhishek's mom Jaya is strictly against her son appearing bare-chested on screen. Until Abhishek convinces her that it's fine to do so no amount of muscle-power would persuade him to take the shirtless plunge.

At the moment he's in LA with with his fingers crossed. Says a source close to Abhishek, "Ash and Abhishek have taken some time off together in LA for various reasons.

Yes, he has met two trainers. They're flying back to India on Saturday night."

Aishwarya Rai Sparkles At Oscars, Shimmer Rules Red Carpet

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai added some Indian glamour to the Oscars with an on-trend shimmery number at the 83rd Academy Awards where sequins dominated the red carpet.

The 37-year-old actress sparkled in a bronze Giorgio Armani Prive gown with rows of amber sequins and beaded detail at the waist, while husband Abhishek Bachchan stuck to a traditional black tuxedo.

The actress teamed the shimmery gown with a Jimmy Choo clutch, vintage jewellery and smoky eyes.

Like Abhishek, musician A R Rahman who walked the red carpet with wife Saira, too wore a tuxedo while his partner chose a flamboyant fusion ensemble consisting of a golden sherwani and cigarette pants.

Like Saira and Ash, the shimmer trend was followed by Gwnyeth Paltrow, who wore a gold Calvin Klein number and Halle Berry who stole the show in a nude sparkling number by Marchesa.

Hilary Swank's glistening silver Gucci column gave way to a romantic ostrich feather skirt, while the sparkling bodice of Mandy Moore's romantic Monique L'Hullier dress appeared to have been sprayed on.

Shimmering nude was also an age-appropriate choice for 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, nominated for her role in True Grit, who won a Fifties-style dress by Marchesa.

While Celine Dion, wore a full-sleeved silver column dress, Amy Adams added a pop of colour to the red carpet with a sequined navy gown by L'Wren Scott, which she teamed with green accessories.

Other than the sparkle, another major trend was the resurgence of the red carpet favourite, voluminous red gowns.

The bustled creations worn by Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Hudson, and Sandra Bullock, were in the same traffic-stopping hue of red. Penelope Cruz too showed off her post-pregnancy bod with a sequined red gown by L'Wren Scott.

And while black remained a popular choice, with famously eccentric British star Helena Bonham Carter opting for it, there were some surprises from Cate Blanchett who wore an lavender Givenchy Haute Couture gown with yellow embellishment, and an unusual purple-burgundy hue seen on both Natalie Portman, in Rodarte, and Scarlett Johansson in Dolce and Gabbana.

Warren Beatty in awe of Big B?

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan finds it hard to believe that American actor Warren Beatty knows him, respects him and is in awe of him.

The "Bonnie and Clyde" actor met Abhishek Bachchan at a store in Los Angeles, and while the father and son were talking online, he revealed the news to the 68-year-old actor.

"Abhishek informs of his meeting with Warren Beatty at a store in LA, his knowledge and respect for me and my films and his wonder at me still working. Warren Beatty?? Indian Films?? Knows about Amitabh Bachchan and is in ‘awe' ???!!!(sic)," Big B posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com Friday.

"Hmmm … some things not right here!! And he actually asked for Abhishek from the store owner because he knew he was my son !! This is getting weird !! I mean … how would... you know... how does he ... its not possible …you mean he actually (sic)," he added.

Bipasha in severe tiff with Deepika

Rohan Sippy’s ‘Dum Maro Dum’ is again hitting the news for all wrong reasons. Bipasha Basu is fighting it out with Deepika Padukone for the poster of the film which has only Deepika Padukone grooving to the super-hit song, ‘Dum Maro Dum’. Bips is not happy that the main stars of the movie were neglected and only Deepika was featured in the poster.

A source from the production house said, "There were various debates about how the first look poster of the film will be made.

Finally it was decided that rather than having Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu on the posters of the film it would be nice to have Deepika who features in the item song `Dum Maro Dum'.

When Bipasha learnt about the poster she was not very happy and called Rohan Sippy who explained his promotional strategy to her."

When contacted Rohan Sippy said, "Deepika is doing a title song of the film. On the teaser poster you can hardly recognise Deepika.

It's brand Dum Maaro Dum and Bipasha is the female lead of the film. But I guess that's what happens with guest numbers and with iconic songs."

On the other hand, Bipasha denied any dispute and said, "I was the first one to tweet about the first look of DMD because I loved it and am super excited about our film.

Deepika is a super dancer and has done total justice to our song. There are no controversies here."

Nandita opts out Midnight’s Children

Balancing motherhood with a career is a tricky one and Nandita Das has made a choice by opting out of old friend Deepa Mehta's adaptation of Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie.

It's a film that has been jinxed with actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Om Puri etc. opting out of the film. Though signed on to play a pivotal role, Nandita opted out. She says, "With little Vihaan, who is 6 months old now and so delightful, I didnt think I would have been able to do justice to both the roles and would have felt quite torn.

Pity, but as Deepa says, there is Kamagathamaru, where I am playing the female lead and as I say, there is a time for everything!" Nandita was also supposed to do Deepa Mehta's Water but was apparently not informed about her ouster from the project.

This led to a cold war between them, which ended when they met in New York two years ago. For Midnight's Children Mehta offered Das a guest appearance as well. Says Das, "Even that didn't make sense as it would have been neither here nor there. I have made the decision."

Race 2 ready to take-off

Producer Ramesh Taurani and director duo Abbas-Mustan have finally locked the star cast of the much-awaited sequel to Race.

"The casting has to be perfect, once the script is okayed," Abbas-Mustan had said some time back. "The expectations from Race 2 are humungous and we plan to make it bigger and better than the first part."

Well, the casting of Race 2 is almost complete. While Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor have been retained from the first part, the makers have signed John Abraham to enact the negative role in the sequel to the successful film.

Rumours are rife that Abhishek Bachchan will also appear in a significant role, although his presence in the film is being kept under wraps.

"Not true at all! Abhishek isn't part of the film," the producer said.

'The leading ladies will be different as well. "Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha have been confirmed. We need to finalise one more leading lady opposite Anil," he said.

Filming of Race 2 will begin in August this year.

The actor, who turned 35, is currently shooting in New Zealand for Abbas Mastan's "Players". But his colleagues reached out to wish him through micro-blogging site Twitter.

Abhishek began his career with J.P. Dutta's "Refugee" (2000). He then went on to give a string of poorly received films, but his performances in "Main Prem

Ki Diwani Hoon" (2003) and Mani Ratnam's "Yuva" (2004) proved his mettle as an actor.

The same year, he starred in "Dhoom" -- his first commercial hit -- and in 2005, he shot to fame with four movies that did well commercially - "Bunty Aur Babli", "Sarkar", "Dus" and "Bluffmaster".

In 2007, the actor starred in "Guru", receiving much acclaim for his performance, and the film emerged as his first solo hit. Later, he went on to do films like "Sarkar Raj", "Dostana", "Delhi-6" and "Paa", among others.

The actor has a full kitty this year with four films "Game", "Dum Maro Dum", "Players" and "Bol Bachchan".
