Saif Ali Khan To Romance Natalie Portman Next?

After oozing charm and wooing pretty ladies Diana Penty and Deepika Padukone in the recently released Cocktail, it seems that actor Saif Ali Khan is all set to broaden his horizons as far as romancing is concerned.

Sources claim that the Nawab recently let it slip in an interview that he might be seen opposite actress Natalie Portman (of Black Swan fame) in a romantic film. However, when pressed for details, Khan chose to keep mum and did not even confirm if the project is a Hollywood production or under his own banner, Illuminati Films.

Saif will be next seen in Race 2 and also in Go Goa Gone, where he will be seen playing a Russian mobster, who also moonlights as a zombie hunter.

Salman Khan To Go Shirtless...Again!

Bollywood brat Salman Khan has done it again! The actor, who is known for going shirtless and showing off his chiseled torso in almost every film, has now arranged to do the same again in his upcoming flick Ek Tha Tiger.

It seems that though the film did not have any scene which required Sallu bhai to drop his shirt, Khan approached Aditya Chopra and director Kabir Khan and persuaded them to include one scene in the film, where he could appear shirtless as it was his trademark act in most of his films. Fortunately, Kabir Khan and Chopra agreed and a special scene was arranged for it.

A spy flick, which revolves around a RAW agent's adventures, Ek Tha Tiger is slated to release on August 15 this year. Incidentally, in the past, Salman has gone shirtless for his hit flicks like Wanted, Bodyguard and Dabangg.

COCKTAIL Movie Review: Tale of two city girls

It was only to be expected. From the promos of the film, Cocktail could only have been a slice-of-urban-life kind of framework for trendy fashion, trendy music (which we have already reviewed), trendy dialogue and, of course, trendy attitude. And with stars like Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan playing main leads, everything will be very citified and slick. And yes, Diana Penty, she of the long, invincible hair we know through ads, will very likely be a worthy next-gen for the genre.
The story – and surprisingly, there is something of one – is not too unreal for anyone who is fairly wealthy, well travelled and so-called liberal. Three people share a flat in London and work out dynamics of co-existence. Veronica, played astonishingly true-to-life by Deepika, has a casual on-off relationship with Saif, who is perhaps getting rather too mature for silly shenanigans, but does the urban-slick thing so well. Into this comfortable relationship, which smells ever so gently of the Mila Kunis-Justin Timberlake movie Friends With Benefits, comes the far more staid and shy Meera, a role nicely nuanced in parts by Diana. And the equations – as they always do – change, swing, wander about with lots of madness, liberal amount of laughter and some emotional hoo-ha thrown in.
The first half, light and frothy for the most part, is fun, while the second half gets maudlin and laboured more than it needs to. There are fabulous moments, as when Deepika is asked to keep her knees together by Boman Irani and when Saif’s hormones go a-raging and he is cheerfully snubbed by his girl; and then there are rona-dhona moments when all you want to do is go find the popcorn counter outside. Does it end with a happily-ever-after scene? Watch it to find out.
What is impressive is the wonderfully natural interaction and affection between the two girls. Diana has shades of Deepika as she was in her first film, Om Shanti Om, slightly awkward, obviously not quite sure of her acting skills or her camera angles, but with potential to become far more adept at the art. Both models, they know how to look good, in simple salwar kameez or a lethal red bikini! Saif is his cool, swaggering, dry-wit-spouting self, not too big a stretch from his natural personality, wethinks. The star of this show is Deepika, who not only looks ravishing, but is entirely convincing as a neglected wild child of rich parents. We sure like!
As for the film – very niche, very easy on the eye and ear and a lot of the time, very fun

I love Karan unconditionally and trust him blindly: Kareena

The last few days have seen dramatic changes in Kareena Kapoor's professional life. She's been playing musical chairs with producers and projects.

 

A segment of the media is still debating whether she walked out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela or if she was caught unawares with certain other developments there. And the people around Bebo say she did what she did because she had an ace up her sleeve.

Beaming like a Cheshire cat, Bebo says, "I knew that I was stepping into Dharma Productions' next directed by Punit Malhotra opposite Imran Khan. However, I was waiting for Karan (Johar) to make the official announcement." Exactly a month ago, TOI broke the news of Imran and his I Hate Luv Storys director Punit Malhotra joining hands for their second film. The report also mentioned that Karan and Punit were looking for a heroine to team up with Imran. Guess they didn't look too far. Their search ended with Bebo, one of Dharma's favourite girls. Says Karan, "Imran and Kareena have been finalised for Punit's next directorial venture... their on-screen chemistry coupled with Punit's commercial expertise of handling a love story makes this film immensely exciting to all of us. Imran and Bebo are practically in-house talent for us and so this feels like a home film in every way."

Reciprocating Karan's sentiments, Bebo says, "Dharma is family. With every film that I do here, I just feel the bond growing with everyone in that office. I love Karan unconditionally and trust him blindly. But why I'm truly excited about this project is because I will be uniting with Imran and Punit. While Imran and I shared a terrific chemistry in Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Punit and I have known each other for a decade. He is my designer Manish Malhotra's nephew and in that sense, I feel close to him. Also I like his sensibility as a director and I think Karan, Imran, Punit and I will not only make a good film together; these guys will also let me boss over them."

Imran isn't sure whether he's going to let Bebo bully him. But he admits that teaming up with her in the same year of EMAET is a bonus. He says, "I'm really excited with the dream team we've assembled. Having worked with Bebo in EMEAT, I know first-hand the value she brings to a film. This film is going to be a whole lot of fun." Over to Bebo for the last word. Says she, "We're going to make a commercial mainstream masala film; something I'm looking forward to. Honestly, I'm up for the challenge and am raring to go."

SYNOPSIS
As the saying goes – ‘A lie may take care of the present but it has no future’. But when a person lies to the Akhada king of Ranakpur – Prithviraj Raghuvanshi (Ajay Devgn), he makes sure that the person is left with no future. A young boy from Delhi, Abbas Ali (Abhishek Bachchan) is facing financial problems, which lead him to his well wisher Shastri’s house in Ranakpur. In the town, Abbas wants to look for a job to take care of himself and his sister Sania (Asin). But he accidentally falls prey to a situation which makes him lie about his name. This uncertain incident brings about a very important twist in Abbas’s life. He lands up working as a supervisor under the strong Akhada king and an absolute lie hater, Prithviraj Raghuvanshi. Destiny forces Abbas to be a single person acting as two different entities and keep lying to his boss who hates liars to the core. The fear of getting caught by his Akhada king lie hater boss ultimately turns Abbas into an absolute ‘Bol Bachchan’.

Aamir Khan’s hairstyles: Chopping and changing over the years

 

The actor is extremely particular about the hairdos he sports in his movies. From the length of his locks to the way his mane is set, Khan makes it a point to look different in most of his films

Although there was a time when the only thing Aamir would obsess about was his thespian skills, he gradually realised that just a good performance wasn’t enough to make him stand out in the crowd. Experimenting with his hair and playing around with his looks, the Talaash actor soon mastered the mantra to get himself imprinted in people’s minds. And when Aamir learned the importance of cool hairdos in his flicks, he made sure he went an extra mile researching the look that suited him best. And now with Dhoom 3 in the pipeline, Khan is all set to repeat the same process. He’s waiting for his eureka moment, the moment that will make him feel that he’s found the right ‘do for his sinister role in the film.

Shatrughan Sinha said ‘Shut up’!

 And in a style that made everyone in B-town maintain pin-drop silence

When Shatrughan Sinha aka Shotgun roared ‘Khamosh’ it was almost always followed by a deep silence. But while that one powerful word tops our memory list, there are a couple of other dialogues that are truly Shotgun flavoured. Wanna know what they are? Read on….
Jali ko aag kehte hain, bhuji ko raakh kehte hain aur jis raakh se barood bane, usse Vishwanath kehte hain.
Burning is called fire, burnt out is called ash and that ash which makes gun powder, that Vishwanath is called. (Now that’s a super cool introduction, isn’t it?)
Tere gande shareer se teri paapi aatma ko mukt kar doonga.
Your dirty body from your sinful soul will be freed by me. (What a noble thought!)
Aaj ke baad main tujhe kahin bhi, kabhi bhi, kissi bhi waqt maar daloonga.
After today I will you wherever, whenever and at whatever time kill. (No appointment needed)

Will Salman Khan say yes to SRK?

Chillar Party producer Siddharth Roy Kapur is keen on working with the Dhinka chika dude again, but dates do not seem to be working out any time soon

Over the past few years Salman Khan seems to have perfected the art of headlining the Rs 100 crore films department. Every producer worth his cheque book is queuing up outside Galaxy apartments in suburban Mumbai, where Salman lives. It is heard that his loyal fans are ready to shell out their hard earned money just to watch Sallu do what he does best, story be damned. That explains the success of films like Ready and Bodyguard. The Dabangg dude does know the pulse of his audience like nobody else.
Buzz now is that Siddharth Roy Kapur, who helms UTV Motion Pictures, is also going out on a limb to work with the Blockbuster Khan, but somehow things aren’t working out. Salman’s last outing with UTV was Phir Milenge, but back then he wasn’t the phenomenon that he become today. It is reported that a team at UTV is busy trying to come up with an idea that might catch Sallu’s fancy. SRK – Vidya’s UTV honcho beau, we mean, not Shahrukh Khan – has also been trying to get Salman’s approval to do a film with his production house, but so far there has been no progress. With projects like Dabangg 2, Sher Khan and Kick already on his platter, we wonder when the Ek Tha Tiger actor will have the time to say yes to SRK…

Can the Bhatts successfully recreate the ‘Aashiqui’ magic?

 There are lots of expectations from the sequel of the Rahul Roy-Anu Aggarwal starrer being helmed by Mohit Suri

Mahesh Bhatt and his clique of filmmakers have adopted the sequel habit. They are churning out moneyspinners every few months and apparently raking in the moolah too! The latest sequel on the anvil is of the ’90s superhit Bhatt film, Aashiqui. It will feature Aditya Roy Kapur, Shaad Randhawa and Shraddha Kapoor as the leads. While other details are still under wraps, there is a lot of buzz about Aashiqui 2.
A major part of the credit for the success of the older version goes to the melodious romantic songs composed by Nadeem-Shravan. It has been over two decades since Aashiqui released, and even today Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal are best known for their debuts in Mahesh Bhatt’s musical. When Rahul was recently asked about his feelings on the sequel, he said, “Mark my words, Aashiqui will be a tough act to follow. It will be very difficult to recreate that magic. So I guess Mohit Suri will have to make a new film, a new Aashiqui.”
We wonder if the Bhatts will be able to pull off another superhit with the Aashiqui sequel…

Priyanka Chopra: animal magnetism?

 

 

Looks like the Barfi! actor is finding it really hard to look like a human. After all, she has been tagged piggy, jungli billi and now puppy dog!

Priyanka Chopra, who is also known as jungli billi and Piggy Chops, has suddenly started resembling yet another pet animal – a puppy dog! Yup, that’s true and so says the Rockstar of B-town, Ranbir Kapoor. And while pet-name calling might pass as a very cute tradition in the Bollywood industry, we couldn’t help but figure why Pee Cee always ends up resembling an animal!
Piggy Chops
Heaven knows who thought Priyanka resembled a pig, but apparently someone did – perhaps Abhishek Bachchan commenting on her appetite for any food and her ability to eat without gaining weight – and that too on the sets of Bluffmaster. And since then the pet name has attached itself securely to the lady. “Right from my family, friends, fans and even the media call me ‘Piggy Chops’. It’s cute, it’s nice, but bus yaar! I am now bored of it. I desperately want a new nickname. It will be nice to have a new one,” Priyanka had grumbled a couple of years ago. And lo! She graduated to the next one.
Jungli billi
Now this pet name was tad bit better than the first. After all, anything is better than being called a pig, no? It reflected Priyanka’s character in the Shahrukh Khan starrers Don and Don 2. And we guess Piggy Chops….oopsie….Priyanka liked it. And why not, we thought; it was wild and as sexy as a feline could get, right? But then there was more on the way.
Puppy dog
Now the credit for this one goes to Ranbir Kapoor, who is Priyanka’s costar in the forthcoming movie Barfi!. We hear that RK found her as cute and adorable as a baby doggy. ‘Awwww!’ we couldn’t help exclaiming, but all Pee Cee did was glare at Ranbir. And we totally understand why. After all, who likes being called animal names one after the other, right? Wink, wink.

What’s Akshay Kumar’s worst nightmare?

We thought Akshay Kumar could easily be titled one of the most fearless actors of B-town, until we heard this – Akki is scared of dance sequences! And this was something choreographer-turned-director Prabhu Deva revealed in a recent interview. Also, to get AK into the groove for Rowdy Rathore, Prabhu had to resort to giving the actor a pep talk just before beginning any dance sequence, we are told. Sigh!
What’s more, Akki was even heard saying, “Everything else is fine, but when the song starts and I have to shake myself, I go blank! It really scares and stresses me!” Uh-ho! No wonder the action hero went on a vacation with son Aarav after Rowdy Rathore released. Tch tch! Talk about Bollywood quirks.

Indian origin student named UK's top young scientist

London, Mar 18 (ANI): An Indian origin student, Kirtana Vallabhaneni, beat 360 other entrants to be awarded UK's top young scientist at The Big Bang Fair at Birmingham's NEC on Friday.

The 17-year-old was part of University of Liverpool's research project aimed at identifying the harmful cells that cause pancreatic cancer.

She said she hoped her win could help "instil the same kind of passion I have for science in other young people".

The judging panel for the national award, open to 11 to 18-year-olds who completed a science, technology, engineering or maths project, included renowned space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Nobel Prize winning biochemist Sir Tim Hunt, and the Science Museum's inventor in residence Mark Champkins.

Vallabhaneni, who was part of the project team working to isolate cells in the pancreas that can be targeted with chemotherapy, said she was "so happy" with the win.

"Everything that I've worked for over the last year has come together," the BBC quoted her as saying.

"The fact four finalists were female shows that there are strong opportunities for women in science and it proves they don't have to follow convention and stereotypes.

"I'm so passionate about what I do and I hope that with this success, I can instil the same kind of passion I have for science in other young people... If I can do it, they definitely can," she added. (ANI)
