“John is fine,” said Bips, “The tests are done. The results will take some time. He is being treated for typhoid. I'm trying to juggle my shootings, concert rehearsals and the hospital. It's not easy since I'm suffering from a viral attack myself! In fact, John and I fell ill simultaneously just before he left for Kabul. At this point, I'm unable to come to terms with the sudden turn of events.”
Regardless of all the problems that Bipasha might have, she proved that she is a thorough professional on the sets of Madhur Bhandarkar’s Corporate. Nonetheless, Bhandarkar called for an early pack-up, seeing the level of stress Bips was in.

Sonakshi Sinha to romance Saif in next film

She has romanced Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar in Dabangg and Rowdy Rathore. And now, 25-year-old Sonakshi Sinha has been signed opposite Saif Ali Khan, 42, in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Bullet Raja. Interestingly, for the film that is based on the UP mafia, the actress who has portrayed the rustic northern belle with elan in her previous ventures will be seen as a Bengali damsel.
"As soon as Saif returned to Mumbai, Tigmanshu had a lengthy meeting with him to discuss the heroine. He was very keen to have Sonakshi on board and was convinced she could pull off the role with ease," a source told TOI.
Sonakshi, on the other hand is excited about this new project. "She loves Tigmanshu's films and is looking forward to working with him," added the source. Apparently, the actress is excited to play a Bengali girl, which would be different from her village belle avatar in Dabangg and ' Patna ki phuljhadi' role in Rowdy Rathore.
Apart from Sonakshi, Jimmy Shergill, who has worked with Tigmanshu in Saheb Biwi Gangster, has also been brought on board.
Sonakshi whose film Son Of Sardar is all set for release this Diwali, has left for Muscat to shoot Milan Luthria's Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Part 2 along with Akshay. Bullet Raja, produced by Brandsmith Motion Pictures, will thus go on floors by November this year.

For me everything is a risk right now: Esha Gupta


Making her debut opposite Emraan Hashmi in Mukesh Bhatt's 'Jannat 2', Esha played a doctor in the movie, while she is essaying the role of an actress in Vikram Bhatt's 'Raaz 3' (to release on September 7) and a cop in Prakash Jha's 'Chakravyuh' (releasing on October 12), which explores the problems of naxalism.
"For me right now everything is a risk. But today if I don't take a risk where will I reach? It's not about playing safe or anything. Of all the options I had got I think whatever films I have chosen to do are best," Esha said in an interview.
"It was one of the best things to be working with a director like Vikram in 'Raaz'. Right now, it doesn't matter to me if it's a big or small role, because all three of my films are really different," she said.
Esha is taking every film as a learning experience with the different kind of roles that she is portraying.
"Right now what matters to me is the learning experience. I am not saying that I won't do big commercial films. All the characters that I have played so far have been very different," Esha said.

Shah Rukh vs Ajay Devgn war escalates


The battle between Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar and Yash Chopra's Shah Rukh Khan-starrer, both scheduled for a November 14 release, has escalated. Buzz was distributors had been told to book the same number of screens for the Shah Rukh-starrer as for Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger.

The fight turned ugly on Tuesday afternoon when distribution officials from Eros International and Viacom 18 started making calls to theatre owners, asking them to bypass the deal struck with YRF.

What's more, they threatened the theatre owners that in the event they didn't comply, four of the production houses' forthcoming films: Oh My God (September 28), Bhoot Returns (October 12), Aiyya (October 12) and Chakravyuh (October 24) wouldn't be screened in their theatres.

The distribution rights of Son of Sardaar, a joint production by Ajay Devgn and Viacom 18, were sold to Eros International in July to ensure smooth distribution of the film. The deal had been struck between Ajay and Eros' head honcho Kishore Lulla.

Inder Raj Kapoor of STV confirmed that calls were made to companies like Rahul Aksar Group, E City and themselves. Rahul of the Rahul Aksar Group said he didn't wish to comment on the matter.

A source from the exhibition circuit said, "We have been told to give priority to Son of Sardaar in our multiplexes and remove the blanket ban else..."

Asked if they intend to pay heed to the calls, Kapoor said, "We are yet to arrive at a decision on what to do and what not to do." But aren't these pressure tactics adopted by Eros and Viacom 18 unethical? "Well, Eros International and Viacom 18 say that Yash Raj Films is in the wrong. How do I take sides?" said Kapoor.

Meanwhile, a source from the trade said, "One fails to understand why Ajay is hell bent on releasing his film on the same day as Yash Chopra's film. Releasing the film during Diwali does not necessarily help. Ajay's Singham did so well despite hitting the theatres during the non-festive season. Or then, Yash Raj should shift the date. This war is no good for the industry."

'Raaz 3' costliest Bhatt film in years: Mukesh Bhatt



More than a decade after their last biggie "Ghulam", the Bhatt trio of Mukesh, Mahesh and Vikram is back with 'Raaz 3', which is the most expensive film they have made ever since.
"Not just in terms of production values but even scale, 'Raaz 3' is our costliest film. The requirement of the film is such that it had to be made largely on sets. We had to put more than 35 sets and that was not just very expensive but also quite ambitious on our part," said Mukesh Bhatt.
Bhatts have been known to be quite cost conscious when it comes to filmmaking but Mukesh, without revealing their budget, said any other production house would have ended up spending even more money on "Raaz 3".
"Our film is expensive but then I am sure that if someone else would have made it, it would cost them double the amount. Moreover, we have made the film in real 3D rather than converting it from 2D to 3D. We have utilised the best of technical expertise and got people from international arena who have supervised the quality of our work. Still, our costs never spiralled to unimaginable levels."
The film, releasing today, is being pitched as a Bipasha Basu comeback affair but Mukesh said the actress was cast according to the script's demands.
"The film's script demanded the casting of Bipasha; we realised that nobody better than her could have done the film. She is the most apt casting and fitted the role to the T.
"In the film she is playing a top superstar who is now losing out to a much younger starlet ( Esha Gupta). If you draw parallels to the real life scenario, today Bipasha has been in the business for ten years and on a threshold where she may be developing the feeling of losing out.

All the Khans love me, says Rani Mukerji




In the Anurag Kashyap written film, directed by Sachin Kundalkar, Rani plays Meenakshi, a spunky Maharashtrian girl who is ready to get married at her family's bidding but dreams about a fantasy world all her own. In Talaash, she plays a gritty, fiercely guarded character, where we'll see her "smile only once." And while she admits she did not expect Talaash to get so delayed, she tells us why she took up Aiyyaa: "I hadn't played a Maharashtrian earlier. Moreover, the role of Meenakshi was superbly exciting as she is mad and passionate, somewhat like me (laughs). The script was so refreshing that I just gave my go ahead." Rani goes to admit that even though she admires Anurag's work, she could never see herself being a part of his 'niche cinema.' In fact, when Anurag Kashyap narrated the story to her, Rani had quipped, "I won't come into your (dark) zone. This time, you have to come into mine (popular cinema)." The actor was so convinced about her role that she immediately green lighted Sachin Kundalkar, the two-time National Award winning filmmaker, who makes his Hindi debut with this film. "Sachin was the right person to do justice to this film. He knew the finer nuances and helped me better myself as Meenakshi," Rani says.

Aiyyaa comes at a time when when most of her peers and the younger actors are vying to work with the Khan trinity and be a part of the Rs 100-crore club. But Rani seems unfazed by it all, and insists she enjoys wonderful rapport with all the Khans. "I have no issues with any of them. In fact, both Shah Rukh and Aamir have taught me a lot. Shah Rukh has always been very supportive as a co-star and that helps you to do better. Aamir has been very much like a teacher to me in my career. In the initial years when I had joined the industry, he literally held my hand and taught me the ropes of acting. And even when I worked with him in Talaash, I still felt I've so much to learn from him and I am still a student. Salman is a good friend too. Because of all this, the bond I share with them is very different from that with the others. And I know all the Khans love me!" with a flash of her famous pearlies.

Dabangg 2 shoot to be a crowded affair

This is going to be a busy month for UPites, and no, it's not in preparation for a festival or any work-related engagements. Interestingly, the upcoming shooting schedule of 'Dabangg 2' in Lucknow and Kanpur has city folk playing host to friends and family from nearby areas, who're keen to drop by to watch the shooting!
In fact, Himanshu Bhatia, a fabrication manager with a construction company in Kanpur, has invited his cousins for just that. "I have invited my cousins from Allahabad so that they can witness the shoot of Dabangg 2 here in Kanpur. They will be here today, and will stay on till the shooting continues," informs, Himanshu.
Even as the film crew arrived in Lucknow on Friday, physiotherapist Stanly Brown was gearing up to host friends from Noida. "They were really excited when I informed them about the shoot of the Salman-starrer here," he says, adding, "Even during the filming of "Bunty Aur Babli" in Kanpur, I had relatives visiting us to watch the shooting, it was an entertaining affair at that time."
Store manager Mohd Wasif has already started looking for some jugaad so that he can impress his saali by showing her the film's shooting. "I recently got married and my saali is a big fan of Salman Khan. I don't know whether Salman will be part of the shooting schedule in UP, but we're hoping that he makes a visit. I have some journalist friends and I have already requested them to take us to the shooting locations, whether in Kanpur or Lucknow," shares Wasif.
Event manager Manish Tripathi's cousins from Aligarh are also visiting him this weekend, so that he can show them some filmi action. "I have promised to take them for the shooting in Kanpur and Lucknow. I just hope I won't have to face any major difficulty while taking them to the locations," says Manish.

SALMAN KHAN: Hail Bollywood's new king!



Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir have been indomitable rulers of Bollywood for years now. Their unique traits and styles have turned millions of people into their diehard fans.

I became better with every film: Bipasha Basu



An actor by chance, former model Bipasha Basu says that she learnt on the job and that each film taught her something.
“I never had any plans to act. I became an actor by chance, learnt on the job and became better with every film that I did. Everything that I have today is given by the film industry. Right now the phase that I am in, I know I will do good work and people will like me,” Bipasha told IANS.

Aamir Khan's Talaash: Rumours, rumours, rumours


Aamir Khan doesn't need rumours, baseless allegations and sensational marketing gimmicks to make his films work at the box office. He's a brand in himself and every film he does has his signature finesse to it. So why is it that Aamir's forthcoming release Talaash found itself embroiled in a number of controversies. We take a look at the various rumours floating about the Reema Kagti's production.
A section of the media had gone overboard by declaring that the advance booking of Talaash has started already. It was also reported that this was Aamir's unique strategy to rake in more moolah and all the shows have been booked even though the film is releasing on November 30. Ultimately, we got to know that this news was a figment of somebody's hyperactive imagination.
Rumour mills were in full swing when it was reported that a brand new theatrical trailer of Talaash will be attached to the prints of Salman Khan's super-hyped film Ek Tha Tiger. "We are in the process of finalising the second trailer. It's not arriving with Ek Tha Tiger. On the contrary, it will be launched next month," clarified producer Ritesh Sidhwani in an interview.
It all started a couple of months ago when BollywoodLife decided to celebrate April Fool's Day in style. And keeping in mind the core idea behind April 1, we speculated about Rajinikanth agreeing to do an item song for Aamir Khan's Talaash for a sum of Rs 15 crore. Clearly, it was a joke, one that we categorically mentioned in the article. But many stories were inspired from that piece and Rajinikanth's spokesperson had to clarify that there was no such item song in the making.
 A report suggested that an argument between Aamir and Talaash director Reema Kagti over some scenes. Apparently, Aamir wasn't particularly happy with certain portions in the film, and wanted them re-shot. Reema purportedly refused to make any changes, as a result of which an angry Aamir said he would not be available to promote the film. Aamir refuted all these claims and said all is well between him and Reema.

`Joker` may be screened for India`s cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma



The makers of the movie `Joker` are leaving no stone unturned in terms of promotion, as they plan to screen it for Wing Commander (Retd) Rakesh Sharma, India`s only cosmonaut who flew on board a Soviet Soyuz T-11 as part of a joint Indo-Soviet space programme in 1984.

"The film is a science fiction family entertainer that we feel will be loved by kids. There are aliens from outer space. Cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian to travel in outer space and it makes complete sense to try and contact him. We are in process of doing that," the movie`s director Shirish Kunder said in a statement here.

The movie`s plot revolves around a village called Paglapur which lacks basic facilities like water and electricity. When nobody is ready to solve the problem, Akshay Kumar creates a hoax involving aliens from outer space in order to attract attention to the village`s problems.

"Cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma made Indians dream about space and from then, we have tried to explore more about life outside earth. He is a legend. It would be great if we could show the film to him and if that`s not possible, then we would send him a copy of the film," he said.

Asin's new endeavor



Asin is generally known to dub in her own voice in all the movies that she acts in - be it Tamil, Telugu or Hindi. In one of her upcoming Bollywood movies, she is playing the role of a Marathi girl and in keeping with her policy, she would be dubbing in her own voice for this role too.

She has hired a Marathi tutor to help her perfect the language and the crew of this film is surprised by her willingness to learn and dedication to deliver.

'Ek Tha Tiger' review: A typical masala entertainer!

What would you expect when Salman Khan, Kabir Khan and Yash Raj Films team up- a super masala entertainer, right?
After ‘Wanted’, ‘Dabangg’ and ‘Bodyguard’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ - yet another Eid release of Salman Khan - might just make it to the Rs100 crore club, courtesy his incredible fan following and an intriguing first half. But the film sadly falls in the same trap like other Salman films which lack content.

Salman Khan plays Tiger, a code name given to him by Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) of India. But the role of an intelligence officer has been manipulated to the core to befit a masala entertainer!

After a successful mission in Iraq, Tiger is now entrusted with the task of collecting external intelligence by spying on a Trinity College Professor, who has apparently been approached by the ISI for sharing missile technology secrets.

Tiger flies down to Dublin, the Irish capital, to follow the Professor. And that is where he ends up meeting his ladylove (Zoya) Katrina Kaif, the professor’s residence caretaker. Tiger introduces himself as Manish Chandra, a writer, and seeks her help in getting an appointment with the professor.

Zoya extends all possible help to a shelter-less Manish and befriends him. And that is when seeds of romance are sowed!

Though Tiger knows that he is on a mission and he dare not fall in love, he loses his heart to Zoya, who could act as a catalyst in providing information about the professor. Tiger is constantly reminded of his duties by Gopi (Ranvir Shorey), his colleague, not to lose his heart while on a mission but he does approve of Tiger’s choice of a Bhabhi for him!

Zoya, who also happens to be a dance instructor, invites Tiger for a show and here is where you would find a twist in the tale!

After an incredible ‘Kabul Express’ and somewhat gritty `New York`, a masala entertainer like ETT wasn’t expected from director Kabir Khan. Yash Raj Films has certainly spent a whopping amount on the exotic locations that are a treat to watch but haven’t helped the film gain a cult status.

However, the film does have superbly directed action sequences, foot-tapping songs by Sohail Sen and Sajid-Wajid, and a tinge of Salman Khan`s special comedy that does make you cheer.

And mostly importantly, though Salman and Katrina deny being in a relationship in real life, their chemistry onscreen looks every bit convincing. And the duo is an absolute delight to the eyes!

But over all, the film does disappoint you for it fails to deliver what it promised.

If you are a Salman Khan fan, you would love it for sure and the movie might rake-in the moolah because of the superstar! It will certainly entertain you if you leave your brains outside the theatre!

Being part of 'Heroine' was my destiny: Kareena


Actress Kareena Kapoor feels she was destined to do director Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine and says the film is very close to her heart.

Bhandarkar first offered the lead role to Kareena but she couldn't do it due to date issues and it went to Aishwarya Rai. However, Aishwarya subsequently opted out due to pregnancy.

And the film once again landed in Kareena's lap and she said: "Being a part of Heroine was my destiny. The first time I couldn't do it because I didn't have dates and second time I was happy that the film came back to me. I had no second thoughts about it and agreed to do it.

"I had a wonderful experience working on this film and it is very close to my heart. Ever since I watched Chandni Bar, I wanted to work with Madhur (Bhandarkar)," she told reporters.

The actress was in Gurgaon with Bhandarkar. Slated for a Sep 21 release, the film, which will focus on behind-the-scenes life of an actress, also features Arjun Rampal and Randeep Hooda.

Saif-Kareena marriage in October, says Sharmila


The Bollywood wedding of the year would take place in October in Delhi and Mumbai with no sideshows in Pataudi or Bhopal. 'Saifeena'- wedding of Saif Ali Khan and Kareeena Kapoor, would be a low-key affair with limited invitees said the groom's mother Sharmila Tagore, here on Tuesday.

"D-day is on October, sometime. I am not at a liberty to disclose the date. You'd have to ask Saif," she told TOI.

She related the hype surrounding the wedding to happy family serial. "You'd be disappointed. No extravagant celebrations are planned. It would be a small family affair," she said. The restraint on celebrations is because the wedding would be held nearly a month after the first death anniversary of Saif's father - Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.

Sharmila said Pataudi wasn't chosen as a venue because of security considerations.

Sources said that that the wedding may take place on October 16.

Sharmila was in Bhopal attending the board meeting of the royal waqf properties called the Auqaf-i-Shahi, of which her daughter Saba Sultan is the custodian.

SRK plays action hero in Kashmir’s ‘strong arms’


For Yash Chopra's upcoming film, the actor hangs from a bridge and shoots midair, but takes a break from the hectic schedule to meet son before he leaves for London

After a grueling eight-dayschedule in Ladakh, Shah Rukh Khan arrived at the Srinagar International Airport on Monday. "My father's one unfulfilled wish was to bring me to Kashmir cos his mom was from here. Now I am here, it feels I am in his big strong arms," tweeted the actor. Within minutes of his arrival, he boarded a private chopper to avoid the wet roads and reached the hill resort in Pahalgam, south Kashmir. The crew of the film - including Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif and director Yash Chopra were waiting for him. On Tuesday, a difficult bridge blowing scene was planned. Sources from the valley told us how the unit planned to blast a bridge in Pahalgam.

Meanwhile back at the actor's mansion in Mumbai, his son Aryan was busy packing his bags to leave for London - mommy Gauri in tow. And if sources are to be believed, papa Khan did not let his son go off without meeting him. In the midst of the adrenaline pumping action sequences planned in the valley, and driving through the cold deserts of Ladakh, Shah Rukh, say sources, took a break. He flew down to Mumbai to see his son off to his school, Sevenoaks in Kent. In fact, the actor (perhaps on his way back from Mumbai) had tweeted, "Dark clouds, wet roads, too early for even life to feel alive but I am on my way to make movies."

But while Gauri was spotted leaving with son Aryan for London, daddy had to rush back to the sets in Kashmir - to shoot in midair as we can now see.

The doting daddy however, had visited his son's future school earlier. On June 14, Shah Rukh visited the institution, which is said to be one of the finest educational hubs for youngsters aged 11-18 years. And on August 4, Aryan's admission was finally done.

On Monday, August 27, Aryan was thus off to a new phase of his life. Far from the media glare his parents decided to keep him away from, Aryan flew off with mum. Close friends came to bid him a happy journey. Here's wishing Aryan a wonderful life ahead.

Don’t want a dubbing artiste: Esha Gupta


In her debut film, Esha Gupta's voice was dubbed,and rather clumsily at that. So, in Raaz 3, she has spoken in her own voice and redubbed herlines, helped by Hindi theatre personality and tutor Rakesh Tripathi.

Esha told TOI, "I speak Hindi fluently because my mother speaks onlyinHindiandUrdu.WhileIamno one to dispute the Bhatts' decision, in Raaz 3, I was determined to speak in my own voice. I did my lines with Rakesh'shelp.He'llcontinuetoguideme because there is still a Punjab it wang in my Hindi."

Commenting on those in the industry who think in English, Esha said, "We're in the Hindi film industry. It's important to have a command over the language."
