Big dreams of ‘Josh’ Karthika


Remember actress Karthika… she’s none other than the daughter of yesteryear ace actress Radha. Karthika made her debut with Telugu movie ‘Josh’. Though, the film wasn’t a great hit at the box office, but still the young actress has been receiving some good offers from Tollywood.
 
But now, closer sources reveal that Karthika is keen about making her debut in Tamil film industry. We hear, the belle is disappointed that she hasn’t been approached with better films. Also, the buzz is that Karthika is not looking to be a part of scripts presented by newcomers. But, she’s specific about working on big tickets that are churned out by ace filmmakers like Mani Ratnam and Shankar.
 
Telugu film ‘Josh’ featured Nagarjuna’s son Naga Chaitanya in lead role and it’s worth mentioning that he made his debut as well with this film. It seems that he preferred working with Karthika again in Telugu remake of ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’, but Gowtham Menon had already signed newcomer Samantha for this project.(Express Buzz)

King Khan vs Prince of Kolkata


A clipping from Josh flashed on the monitor during the audio-visual round in the grand finalé of Dadagiri Unlimited when suddenly, the crowd started cheering as if marking the grand entry of the “special guest” for the evening.
 
But, ‘bade bade deshon mein aise chhoti chhoti galtiyan hoti rehti hai’. Shah Rukh ‘Don’ Khan was yet to touch base at Mohun Bagan Athletic Club. Akhir, Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahin namumkin hai.
 
And then around 9.30 pm, there he was. Sporting a grey blazer, black tee and his red-framed glasses, the Badshah’s presence on the grounds needed no confirmation. A laser display and fireworks later, Kolkata was finally ready for some firebrand entertainment from King Khan. “Thank you very much, thanks a lot,” said Khan to the Kolkata crowd as pleasantries were exchanged between Dada and Badshah.
 
As for Shah Rukh, he took just five minutes to flaunt a natural and no gel look. He too was happy with the result.”
 
And so were the crowd as they savoured the best of the googlies between the Titans. While Sourav’s one, “Jitna dekhta hai, admi hansta hai aur jab nahi dekhta hai, toh aansu peetein hai” had SRK requesting, “Make it easier or I’ll look dumb”, Badshah’s teaser soon after, “There is a truck. You go out, I come in. What does the truck become?” had Dada racking his brains for an answer.
 
Thus the duo, wowed, joked and sang each others’ praises till SRK gave the parting shot, “Inshallah, if Knight Riders wins this time, I’ll come and dance for all of you.” Om Shanti Om!(TNN)

Deepika Padukone joins the crore club


Deepika Padukone has emerged as Bollywood’s dark horse in the ad world during 2009, doubling her take-home compared to what she was worth in 2007-2008.
 
According to media analysts and brand equity watchers, Deepika is much sought after in both premium and mass brands, right from high-end watches, airlines, clotheslines and even chewing gum.
 
According to industry estimates, from a time when she was charging around Rs 60 lakh for an endorsement.
 
Deepika now demands almost Rs 1.5 crore per ad, hot on the heels of Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif (both around Rs2 crore an ad) and Priyanka Chopra (Rs1.5–2 crore).
 
Veteran market analyst Harish Bijoor says it comes as "no surprise" that Deepika’s equity has doubled.
 
"If you look at the endorsements she has signed, she has been a front runner in landing many leading mass brands. With a few premium brands also signing her up, she’s closely competing with the top league of Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. However, none of them is even close to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the premium and high-end category."
 
When contacted, Deepika said that endorsements are basically about versatility of image. "I think what made people accept me is that I can be glamourous and also the girl-next-door. I have heard this from people who have approached me with campaigns and endorsement offers. I have worked really hard to get what I’m getting. I’m very passionate about movies and my constant effort is to outdo myself and challenge my acting skills. I’m happy with what I have got — but this isn’t enough," she says.
 
So what does she think about the other big three — Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra? "I just love how Kareena carries herself. She is extremely graceful. I think Katrina is very hard working and that is a big reason behind her success. Priyanka has shown how versatile she can be and done some very good work recently," said Deepika, who has five back-to-back films releasing in 2010.

My character in Ishqiya oozes sensuality


After playing an ideal mother in Paa, Vidya Balan says she is ready to surprise audiences with a completely different avatar in forthcoming movie Ishqiya. She will be seen as a conniving, scheming woman in Vishal Bharadwaj’s dark drama.
 
"For the first time I’ll be playing a woman who is conniving, scheming and in whom there is a sexual aggression," said Vidya in an interview.
 
"She is an aggressive person. She is someone who is unapologetic about her own choices. Bold is the word I’ll use for the lack of a better word. In the Indian context, she would be Rambha, Durga or Kali. She is someone who is dressed from top to toe but oozes sensuality," the actress said.
 
Set in eastern Uttar Pradesh, Ishqiya is a tale of romance between individuals caught in a web of crime, suspense, passion and deceit. Made by first time director Abhishek Chaubey and produced by Bharadwaj, the film also stars Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah in pivotal roles.
 
In the film, Vidya sports a deglamourised look and mouths expletives.
 
"Of course Vishal comes with a certain brand and credibility…but more importantly I loved the role offered to me. I wouldn’t have given it up. Along with that I loved Abhishek’s passion and sensibility. So it was a combination of all these things when I made my decision."
 
The 31-year-old is also looking forward to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Chenaab Gandhi in which she plays Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter.
 
After receiving flak for doing glamorous roles, Vidya has moved to author-backed characters in Paa, Chenaab Gandhi and Ishqiya. But she says her choice of roles is not a conscious effort to change her image.
 
"It’s not a conscious decision to try and stay away from a particular kind of roles. There is no effort for an image change. It’s just that I’m just being offered a lot of exciting work and I’ve tried to pick and choose different things to keep it very exciting for me," she said.
 
Vidya has earlier been seen in films like Parineeta, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Kismat Konnection.(IANS)

Shahid Kapur needs extra bodyguards to keep girls away!


Shahid Kapur needs extra bodyguards to keep girls away! Everything comes with a price and Bollywood is no different! With two blockbusters ‘Jab We Met’ and ‘Kaminey’ under his belt, dimpled actor Shahid Kapur is the current flavour of Bollywood.
 
The cute looking actor whose next-door-boy looks can make girls go weak in knees is having a hard time in tackling his female fans as a result, Shahid wants extra bodyguards for all his shoots.
 
Recently, while Shahid was shooting with Anushka Sharma for Parmeet Sethi’s untitled flick under YRF banner in Bangkok, a bunch of Indian girls left the shy actor red faced by demanding him to remove his shirt!
 
Talking to a news daily, a source said, "Shahid has a huge female fan following and is constantly mobbed at various places.
 
At times it becomes too risky for him. Not wanting to cause any further problems, the actor has now asked for extra security."
 
"Usually, Shahid also has fans waiting outside his vanity van and they refuse to move till he meets them.
 
This at times hampers the shoot schedule, disturbing not only Shahid but also the film unit. Now, Shahid wants a group of 5-6 bodyguards to be with him on the sets and also whenever he is shooting at an outdoor location where there is a greater risk of fans barging in on the sets," continued the source.
 
However, when contacted YRF, the media conglomerate downplayed the demand for extra security and said, "We haven`t got extra guards for the shoot. YRF does have adequate security for all its shoots at all times. Should an artiste ask for additional security, it will most certainly be provided. However, no additional security has been asked for during this shooting schedule."

It’ll be a white Christmas for Ranbir, Priyanka


Director Siddharth Anand is excited about shooting Christmas celebrations in a restricted area of New York City with Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor for his film Anjana Anjanai. And he hopes it will snow when he cans the scenes.
 
If it won’t snow, the carefully-planned concept of the lead pair bringing in Christmas
in New York would fall flat. "Yeah, we’re praying for a white Christmas in New York," said Anand.
 
Cameras are not allowed during the festive season at the world-famous Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, but the film’s producer, Sajid Nadiadwala, has got all the necessary permission to shoot there.
 
"I don’t know how Sajid did it. But he managed the near impossible. Priyanka, Ranbir and I are very excited about itsaid ," said Anand, who had earlier directed films like Salaam Namaste and Bachna Ae Haseeno.
 
"Shooting in downtown New York during Christmas time is completely prohibited. We would be shooting not only in and around New York at Christmas time but also the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, which is the tallest Christmas tree in the world. The tree there is 70 feet tall. That’s equivalent to three storeys of a building," said Anand.
 
Ranbir will dress up as a typical New Yorker for the Christmas celebration sequences.
 
"My wife Mamta is styling Ranbir’s clothes. He’ll be dressed the way New Yorkers from West Village are. Very trendily in jackets, scarves, coats and woollens. We’ll show Ranbir and Priyanka cruising the brightly lit-up streets of NY during Christmas. You’ll see them shopping on camera. And that would be real Christmas shopping," he said.(IANS)

Emraan latest to go the six-pack way


Emraan Hashmi is all set to change his serial kisser image with his upcoming film Once Upon A Time In Mumbai - he will flaunt six-pack abs and will be seen challenging an underworld don.
 
Director Milan Luthria says that he purposely wanted to give Emraan this look.
 
"Emraan has always been the underdog and his character is that of a rebel, a dark horse. I wanted to break his serial kisser image and add shock value to the film," said Luthria.
 
"I chose Emraan and then styled him this way as it was extremely difficult to find a youngster who in levels of intensity could be equal and at same time opposite to that of Ajay Devgn."
 
The film is based on the Mumbai underworld of the seventies and Emraan’s character challenges the underworld don, played by Ajay.
 
"The role in the film demanded a look like this. It’s not just about the six packs, my character had to look physically tough. It was one of the key requirements of the script," Emraan told IANS.
 
The actor, who has done hit films like Murder, Kalyug, Jannat and Raaz - The Mystery Continues, underwent rigorous training and followed a strict diet regime to obtain the sculpted body.
 
Emraan was given Angular training method and the training period was divided into blocks of 10 days.
 
The actor was advised to have five-six meals a day and followed guidelines like consuming fats, which were four and five grams of fish oil for fat loss, walnuts and almonds, carb manipulation for losing fat and maintaining muscle mass and protein intake.
 
Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan went for six-pack for Om Shanti Om and Ghajini respectively. Shahid Kapoor is doing two better — he will show off eight-pack abs in his forthcoming film Chance Pe Dance.
 
Once Upon A Time… also stars Kangna Ranaut and Prachi Desai and is expected to hit screens in June next year.(IANS)

Chiranjeevi determined to look slimmer from summer 2010

chiranjeevi tying to slim down by summer 2010Apart from questions raised on his leadership abilities, Chiranjeevi has also faced one more question.
That is about his physique.
These days he look like he lost interest in maintaining his physique and was gaining weight each day.
Now, the megastar seems to have determined to silence his critics and news is that he is on healthy lifestyle. His target is to look smart and in shape from summer 2010 onwards and for this he has been following strict rules on food, doing timely yoga and taking part in aerobics etc.
Some say that this is also for his plans to make a comeback of sorts onto the screen but whether it is movies or not, the mega fans are said to be pleased to see a rather trim and shapely Chiru. Let us hope the summer of 2010 changes the fortunes for the megastar then.
On the other hand in a latest development in PRP, senior leader and former union minister Ch Harirama Jogaiah decided to quit the party on the issue of separate Telangana state.
Party sources said Jogaiah had sent his resignation letter to Chiranjeevi in the morning, stating that he was not happy with the decision of the party to support separate Telangana agitation. Right from the beginning, he had been opposing the division of the state and he did not raise the issue so far because the party had maintained a diplomatic stand on the Telangana issue. “It now appears that the party does not have a clear policy on the Telangana issue and has come out with a pro-Telangana stand succumbing to the pressures from the Telangana Rashtra Samithi and a few Congress leaders,” he is learnt to have said.
Sources say the Telangana is not the only reason for Jogaiah to quit the PRP. Ever since the party faced the debacle in the general elections and has been faring badly in the subsequent byelections and the recent GHMC polls, Jogaiah has been totally upset and is worred about his political future. Moreover, Chiranjeevi’s recent comment that some seniors who had been associated with him right from the beginning had stabbed in his back with wrong advice also hurt Jogaiah. Hence, the decision.

Ranbir voted ‘Sexiest Man Alive’


 
Ranbir Kapoor, the new ’It’ boy of Bollywood may have trounced favourites like Shahrukh Khan and John Abraham to be voted the ’Sexiest Man Alive’ by People magazine, but the actor says that he does not consider himself sexy.
 
The 27-year-old actor said that there are "a thousand things" wrong with his face and body and therefore the title is a total surprise.
 
"I really don’t know what sexy is. I am confused as I don’t consider myself sexy. There are a thousand things that are wrong with my face and body," said the actor.
 
Ranbir who will be seen on the cover of the magazine shirtless on a beach, said that he believes in the old adage "handsome is what handsome does".
 
"When I was growing up, my mom told me handsome is what handsome does. So Amitabh Bachchan is sexy to me in all his films, Shahrukh is sexy in DDLJ and Aamir is sexy in Rang De Basanti," said Ranbir.
 
The Wake Up Sid actor said that the best part about the title is that he is now in the same league as Johnny Depp, who won the title internationally this year.
 
"I feel like I’m Johnny Depp," said the actor adding, "I’ve had a good year so I attribute winning this title to those things."(PTI)
