Akshay and Kareena lock lips for ‘Kambakkht Ishq’

The upcoming flick ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ is probably the most awaited movie of the year, partly because it has an array of international stars and partly because it promises tons of glamour with Kareena Kapoor set to appear in a bathsuit. Now, you have yet another reason to await the movie. The beautiful actress will reportedly be seen in a steamy liplock with co-actor Akshay Kumar in the movie.

Also, Akshay was equally uncomfortable to do the scene as Bebo is just a kid in front of him. However, professional as they are, they did go for it.

Meanwhile, Kareena is Your browser may not support display of this image.all set to perform at IIFA awards where she intends to mesmerize the audience with her belly dance performance to be choreographed by ace choreographer Shiamak Davar.

“Yes, that’s my song in Agyaat. Don’t you like the sound of ‘Kiss Mix’? I find it quite cute actually; it is just one of it’s own kinds,” says Priyanka.

When the shooting of AGYAAT had come to a standstill, only a few scenes involving Priyanka were waiting to be shot. The earlier plans were to have only song to be picturised but later ‘Kiss Mix’ was added as an after thought.

“This is one song which has excited me so much after a very long time. And before you call it as an item or a promotional number, let me clear this at the very onset that ‘Kiss Mix’ would be very much a part of the film”, says Priyanka.

A perfectly happy ending to Lok Sabha Elections 2009 (and the lessons)

By

Singh is King was a blockbuster Bollywood film of 2008. Very few ever dreamt it would haunt us, in a very welcoming way, in 2009 and that too post a general election.

Never has an Indian election been so bitter, so debased and deprived of real issues. Never was an election fought sans issues. Never was a general election in India witness to deplorable personal attacks but the lesson has now been swiftly learnt. Where the parties got it horribly wrong was while their leaders were aging, the voter was getting younger and it is no surprise that hatred lost to hope. And progress and principles triumphed. The return of the Congress-led UPA is going to be a welcome signal but not without enhanced expectations and this is what should worry Manmohan Singh, who after India’s revered statesman, Jawaharlal Nehru will be the only ever person to become Prime Minister of this country twice in a row, throwing anti-incumbency to the winds.

SRK to play a baddie in Dhoom 3

movgal4592

SRK struck the string of success when he became a villain in Baazigar,Darr and Anjaam. Now after many years of playing the romantic lead SRK is all set to turn into a bad man for Yash Raj’s Dhoom3.

A source claims, “Shah Rukh had been approached by the banner to play the main villain in the most successful franchise of Bollywood – the Dhoom series and he has immediately given the nod. Last few days there has been a lot of buzz that Saif Ali Khan has signed the dotted line for the same role but it seems they were just plain rumors. The shooting of Dhoom 3 may start early next year. However, it is not yet clear who is going to direct the film as the original director of the film Sanjay Gadhvi after the first two films have moved out of the YRF camp.”

The first Dhoom had John Abraham playing the baddie, the second had stylish Hrithik Roshan as the ace robber and now SRK will be the next chor. Well one fact is clear, usually the theifs tend to take the limelight from cop Abhishek Bachchan.Wonder what Abhishek will do this time.

Well isin’t it exciting folks?

Vidya is a loser

vidya-balan-midival-punditz

Well she has not lost on some plum projects but she has apparently lost a whooping 10 kilos of weight and is looking ravishing.

She says, Mine has been more of a mental struggle with weight. Earlier, I was obsessed with losing weight and if the results didn’t show up within the time frame I had set, I would give up.The day I changed my attitude, exercise became less about weight loss and more about keeping fit.”

However she is not interested to be a part of the size-zero trend, “Being fit is good. I don’t like it when everyone starts looking alike. I think we should celebrate being different. One shouldn’t follow something because it suits someone else. I would want to be fit, but then I also want people to accept me the way I am. Look at Salma Hayek… she is not the thinnest, but she is among the hottest. Personally speaking, what appeals to me is the Indian figure. It’s fantastic to experiment, but you need to maintain your style,” she adds.

Check out her recent picture, do you think she has lost enough weight?

Hrithik brands Bollywood as obsolete

hrithik_roshan_6_1024x768

Hrithik Roshan is flying high as he makes his international appearance with his next flick Kites with an international actress Barbara Mori and this has changed his views towards the industry that made him a star.

Hrithik talking about his Kites says, “Kites is an international film shot in the US, in English, with a Mexican actress. There is no Bollywood song-and-dance. There is dance, but it is realistic, not Bollywood style. In Bollywood, if an actor has to sing, there is playback, and there are dances out of nowhere — and that’s obsolete now. This is a film for a world platform.”

Mentioning the script of the movie, Hrithik says, , “I am very instinctive, and when I heard the script, I just jumped on the chair saying, this is what I’d like to do. Barbara was so refreshing, I watched her as a student. I’ve played a superhero before, but she embarrassed me.”

Well if you find running around the trees and the dance sequences in Bollywood obsolete, then please Hrithik keep your word and refrain from being a part of the so-called obsolete Bollywood cinema in future. Lets see if you stick to your words or not!

Aamir & SRK’s secret meetings

The producers-multiplex owners war has taken a bitter turn ‘coz Bollywood has not seen a big movie release in the last two months and this matter is being seriously followed and worked on upon by Bollywood’s big Khans SRK-Aamir.

The two Khans are said to be having secret meetings away from the media lights and flashbulbs.

A producer says, “The last time, the papers, the news channels and internet sites focussed only on the Aamir-SRK grand union, they completely ignored the cause.

The stars themselves realised this and made it a point to keep their second meeting a completely low-key affair. The multiplex strike still continues despite efforts from every big name in Bollywood to put an end to it. And, Aamir and SRK are very concerned.”

Well lets hope their meetings transform into big releases the coming month.

Shahid Kapoor is the new Raj of Yash Raj camp

While SRK has moved on from being the romantic Raj to more mature and satisfactory roles, Yash Raj Films have wasted no time in zeroing on their new Raj - chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor.

Shahid Kapoor is working back to back on two Yash Raj projects, Anurag Singh’s Hadippa opposite Rani Mukherjee and Parmeet Sethi’s untitled flick where he is paired opposite Anushka Sharma.

A source says, “The Yash Raj camp sees Shahid as the classic romantic hero who has the potential to turn on the sexy or rugged vibe when required.”

So do you like the new Raj?
