Rani-Shahid’s jodi in trouble

Shahid Kapur failed to connect his kismat with Vidya Balan because of age difference and audience did not acknowledge their on-screen jodi as Vidya looked aged than Shahid. Now he is again facing the same problem with Rani Mukherjee. Though Rani has shed her extra flab, her pairing with Shahid is not getting good response in ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’.

In acting, age, experience and success, Rani is much senior to Shahid and all those factors are coming into forefront when their jodi is considered. Rani Mukherjee had tried her level best to balance the vast difference of age between her and Shahid by months long of rigorous training under a well known trainer Satyajit Chaurasia who helped Aamir to build up his ‘Ghajini’ physique.

The promo of Yash Raj’s ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ is on and both Rani and Shahid are sizzling on-screen. Let’s hope audience ignores their age difference and consider the hard work that both the actors put up from their sides.

Aamir Khan feels insecure

Saif Ali Khan’s debut production ‘Love Aaj Kal’ has received a good response worldwide but Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan is not too happy with the film when he was caught by a reporter outside a multiplex and requested him for a byte about the film. Aamir went to say that he liked the promo of ‘Life Partner’ more than the movie.

Aamir Khan’s statement is enough to draw the conclusion that the actor is feeling insecure about his upcoming film, ‘3 Idiots’. He saw that the curiosity of the audience for ‘Love Aaj Kal’ is much higher than ‘3 Idiots’. This has miffed Aamir Khan and out of insecurity he has made this comment. Aamir’s cheap remark has again brought him in the limelight.

Undoubtedly, Saif Ali Khan might be very shocked with Aamir’s comment.

Bachchan, Khan all in Aishwarya Rai Ravan tamasha

It once used to be said about nautankis and nautankiwalis of stage and reel that the correct rule describing their relevance was simply to be limited to ‘paisa pheko tamasha dekho.’ That’s where the mainstream Indian public may need to end up placing Aishwarya Rai in retrospect ultimately. This in light of the news that actor Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai (currently in Guzarish with Hrithik Roshan) will reportedly patch up after a violent tamasha of allegations and counterallegations few years ago of these actors involving Aishwarya Rai getting assaulted by Salman Khan and getting kicked out of the film by Shahrukh Khan.Khan had also suggested Rai was manipulating professional platform using personal associations.

From commercial perspective, Khan’s decision to kick Rai out may have worked as Chalte Chalte fared alright at the box office with enough of support from Khan’s fans, faring just under the moderate budget hits of the year.So the new rumors possibly point to the basic, absurd nature of showbusiness or ‘nautanki’ as it is called by Hindi people, that Khan and Rai are reported to be soon be doing a middle-aged drama allegedly similar to title of a film Aishwarya Rai is doing with Abhishek Bachchan, who is currently playing the role of her real life husband. Go figure. Rai is reportedly looking to act next with Shahrukh Khan in Khan’s home production also titled Ra-One.Though some reports have had choreographer Rajiv Menon’s involvement as well.

But if materialized, a certain downcasting for the Khan-Rai casting now would be that Rai could be close to 40 and Shahrukh Khan 46/47 by the time such a film gets set to release.It will also likely release after her controversial, and by now already overbudget film Mani Ratnam’s Ravan costarring Abhishek Bachchan as it will go to floor in late 2010 and release likely in 2011 or 2012.But all the same, given that Rai had made some pretty serious charges at the time without filing suit, if the reports are true, the allegations and circumstances around Chalte Chalte and Rai’s eviction and claims about Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan may need to be reopened and reexamined from 2001-2003. Otherwise looking back they’ll have to get treated as one more nautanki by Aishwarya Rai.

Vivek Oberoi avoiding Salman Khan

Salman has always been vocal about his displeasure for Vivek in his interviews even till now. Vivek on the other hand has been trying in vain to seek forgiveness from him but to no avail. So it has not been surprising that Vivek is nowadays avoiding coming face to face with Salman Khan at events and parties. The Tuesday August 11th late night party of producer Ramesh Taurani celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary was yet another example.

We saw Vivek rush immediately to the front main entrance to leave the party when Salman Khan arrived. Vivek was so much in hurry to flee the venue that when his driver arrived he hoped in the car and told his driver to shift to the next seat. But just when he was getting into the car when we asked him why has he been strategically planning his exits to avoid Salman’s entries to parties, Vivek diplomatically replied, “Oh is it so? No I don’t think so. There is nothing like that.” After saying which he kept grinning mischievously

Around six years back, Vivek Oberoi took a panga with Salman Khan by making their personal matter public in front of the entire National media. As fate would have it, Vivek’s career literally nosedived since then and till date he is struggling to find a good stronghold in the industry whereas newcomers who came after him like Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan and even Neil Nitin Mukesh today are at a much better standing than him in Bollywood.

Shahrukh Khan might consider My Name Is Khan as the biggest movie of his career but a bigger challenge lies ahead for King Khan. Shahrukh has to shoot for Farah Khan’s Happy New Year. The script requires Shahrukh to again work on his body first time since the blockbuster Om Shanti Om. Believe it or not Shahrukh is all set to sport eight pack abs in the movie. It may be recalled that Shahrukh had to undergo a surgery after injuring his shoulder while shooting for Vivek Vaswani’s Dulha Mil Gaya.

The actor who is under the treatment of renowned physiotherapist under the treatment of Dr. Ali Irani has been medically advised to take it easy. His shoulder is still very weak and in no condition to take up weight training. A determined Shahrukh shot most of My Name Is Khan in pain but he is no condition to work out on his muscles right now. Happy New Year was to hit the floors by the end of the year but with delay in My Name Is Khan and Shahrukh’s sci-fi thriller Ra 1 the movies is likely to be pushed to 2010. Happy New Year will star Deepika Padukone opposite Shahrukh.
