Salman Khan continues his obscure attacks on Shahrukh Khan

Two ace Khans of BollywoodSalman Khan and Shahrukh Khan who have been very consistent in delivering blockbusters since a last two decades have also been consistent in terms of taking digs at each other directly and indirectly through media by making various statements.

However, they were in peace since quiet a long time but Salman Khan’s recent statement about stars spending time for the movie’s publicity before its release which he feels is the producer’s headache is clearly an anti-statement of what Shahrukh feels is his best case practice.

The macho star quoted “Today you have to keep aside a month and a half for promotions because producers tie up with so many brands, which I don’t like much”. On the flipside Shahrukh is known for being involved in movie’s publicity a lot before its release making sure every aspect which takes movie’s hype to the maximum extent is comprehensively made use of.

However, Salman’s attitude towards movie publicity is completely opposite to what Sharhukh thinks and he is making it known to people by his comments in the media and in turn continuing the obscure attacks on King Khan.We have to wait and see if Shahrukh attacks back right away making our apprehensions clear.

Ex-flames make Dabangg Sallu nervous?

He is known to single-handedly bash up dozens the goons in his movies. Still, Dabangg star Salman Khan had some tense moments prior to hosting a film awards show. What made things difficult for him was the presence of his ex-flames Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Katrina Kaif.

It was the first instance when the 47-year-old superstar was hosting an awards show. “Everybody gets nervous when you do something for the first time, even I am nervous," he was quoted as saying during the Star Guild Awards 2013 function on Saturday.

Although Salman won the hearts of audience by his spectacular performance, we can understand the discomfort he must have been experiencing during the show. Known to be a very emotional person, our Chulbul Pandey once broke down in an award function which took place immediately after his break-up with Ash ten years ago. If that is taken into account, we are sure that it would have been difficult for Salman to give a live performance with the stunning beauties constantly looking at him.

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai parted ways in 2002, owing to the latter describing it as a “turbulent relationship”. She had also accused her then beau to be constantly harassing her in different ways after the split. Later on, Salman dated actress Katrina Kaif and the affair ended in 2010. However, the duo has maintained friendly terms since then.

Well, if it was the pressure of hosting a live event for the first time then it is OK. Else, bhaijaan will have to overcome his nervousness by practicing a lot.

Rishi as Dawood in chilling spy drama

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor will now play Dawood Ibrahim in Nikhil Advani's D-Day. Opposed to the director's initial plan, the character will not even be called Dawood anymore. D-Day was supposed to be an authentic, gutsy, raw and edgy thriller about two RAW agents played by Arjun Rampal and Irrfan being sent to Pakistan to bring Dawood Ibrahim back by road to be tried by the Indian government.

The idea was to name Dawood as Dawood and cast Pakistani actors to play characters from across the border. But now Rishi will play a camouflaged Dawood, while the talented actor Chandan Roy Sanyal has been cast as the don's psychotic nephew.
"Rishiji's character is not even named Dawood any longer. Under pressure, Nikhil Advani had to give the character a fictional name, though it would be quite obvious who he is," said a source from the industry. Rishi will be going all-out to play the camouflaged Dawood as authentically as possible.

 "This would be an even darker more sinister character than the one he played in Agneepath (of villainous Rauf Lala). Rishiji is researching the character as rigorously as he can. But now the excitement of playing the edgy real-life character is blunted," said another source from the unit.
With reports of him being seen in a biker avatar with lots of tattoos in another upcoming film, Rishi Kapoor surely seems to experimenting with roles. Let’s wait and watch if he successfully pulls them off.

Murder 3 collects Rs 13.31 cr

Bhatt camp is back with its popular Murder franchise and for the first time Vishesh Bhatt has donned the director's hat for Murder 3. While the first two films in the franchise have been a hit at the box office, Murder 3 has managed to do a decent business in its opening weekend.
 

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#Murder3 collected approx Rs 13.31 cr net in its opening weekend. Breakup: - Fri 4.52 cr, Sat 4.01 cr, Sun 4.78 cr."
While Murder 2 was touted as Emraan Hashmi's biggest solo hit, his replacement Randeep Hooda has received an average response at the box office. The film had an average start on Friday but it later picked up on Saturday.

The film also stars Aditi Rao Hydari and Pakistani actress Sara Loren. The story of the film is borrowed from Columbian movie The Hidden Face. Despite a solid plot, the film fails to be griping, mainly due to too many unnecessary sound tracks, some lackluster performances and a lengthy screenplay. After a series of unimpressive reviews, this surely will bring some respite to the Bhatt camp.

Race 2 inspires Disgrace 2

Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Race 2 has inspired a parody video. Renamed Disgrace 2, the two-and-a-half minute trailer pokes fun at the recently released sequel. "The video is a work of comic genius. From Saif Ali Khan's slightly high-pitched voice to badly executed stunts and slow motion walks, nothing is spared," said a source in the industry.

The online spoof also mocks the many plot twists, lack of script and members of the project's ensemble cast. "Renaming Saif's Agent Vinod as Travel Agent Vinod is too funny. As is John Abraham Bag of Steroids and Anil Kapoor touted as Tom Cruise's best friend," added the source.
The video also shows Deepika Padukone as “the ultimate party girl”, spliced with scenes from a number of other movies where she is shown getting drunk. Viral Fever Videos, the company behind the release, has also spoofed The Gangs of Wasseypur as The Gangs of Social Media.
After a severe bashing from film critics, this video will surely hurt the team of Race 2.

Akki beats SRK, Sallu in moolah

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has reportedly signed a film with Reliance and will be paid nearly Rs. 50 cr. If industry sources are to be believed, the Khiladi’s estimated pay for his latest film, which is a remake of south film Thupakki, will also make him the highest paid actor in B-Town, far ahead of Shah Rukh and Salman.

Recently, fans of Akshay Kumar got the hash tag  #Akshay2000crore to trend worldwide for two days, suggesting that the actor has earned a whooping Rs 2000 cr in his lifetime in Hindi cinema.
While the news of his assets was left unconfirmed, an emotional Akshay Kumar thanked his fans, whom he fondly referred to as “Akkians”. "Honestly blessed to have you all Akkians in my life. Special thanks to my fan clubs who support me so much selflessly time & again. Thank you for the #Akshay2000crore tag only possible coz of you all," he tweeted.
The trend started on February 16 and was taken off on Monday. It was one of the top trends in India. Akshay is riding on both the box office success and the critical acclaim of his latest film Special 26 that also starred Anupam Kher and Manoj Bajpayee. It is learnt that the film's production company, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, is keen to carry the heist tale forward into not only a sequel, but an ongoing franchise.

While Special 26 is doing well at the box office,  2012, too, was a successful year for the star with blockbusters like Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore and Khiladi 786.
Housefull 2 and Rowdy Rathore joined the 100 crore club making him one of the most bankable actors for producers.

Fans upset Dabangg, chase him on Bikes

Hyderabad: A strong fan following can at times be scary. In a bizarre incident, crazy fans literally chased superstar Salman Khan in Hyderabad on Sunday night. The actor's car was followed by about 20 bikers, all the way from Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium to his hotel. Salman had gone to the city to watch a CCL match between his brother Sohail Khan's Mumbai Heroes and the Telugu Warriors.

 

According to an eyewitness, after the match got over around 11 pm, Salman walked to his car, parked right outside the stadium's gate. To facilitate his exit, traffic was blocked and fans who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor were pushed aside. Some even started following Salman's car, forcing the police to lathi-charge them. But the trouble didn't end there. About 20-odd bikers (some bikes even had three passengers) started following him. They rode close to the car and kept knocking at the window. A source said, "Salman was very upset with the way people behaved. He was concerned that there could have been an accident."

 

Well, we can understand your worry Bhaijan. Crazy fans can at times be a pain.

Papa won’t preach sexy Alia

Mumbai: Bold daddy Mahesh Bhatt’s darling daughter Alia Bhatt shocked one and all on Monday night. At a special screening of Bhatt Camp’s latest film, Murder 3 , Alia, who comes across as a “good girl” of Bollywood, was seen wearing a transparent blue top. While the revealing top came as a surprise, what shocked everybody present at the event was the fact that papa Mahesh Bhatt was right beside her, proudly getting pictures clicked. Also present at the event were Mukesh Bhatt, Vishesh Bhatt andMurder 3 star Aditi Rao Hydari. Though, not many people bothered to look at them as all eyes were fixed on sexy Alia.

 

 

So, is the Student of the Year star aiming at bold roles in film industry? Or dear daddy is planning a sensuous script for his angel? After all, Bhatt camp films are famous for being high on sensuality. Whatever may be the case, Alia’s transparent blue top did raise many eyebrows. Alia, who is a newcomer to B-town, made her preferences clear in her very first film. Her steamy bikini shot in Student of the Year was a sort of statement in itself. While we all know that Alia is okay with sexy dresses, we wonder, didn’t she feel awkward in the presence of her papa?

 

 

However, Alia is not the only one trying for an image makeover. Earlier, Dabangg girl Sonakshi Sinha, the “official” good girl of Bollywood, was seen wearing a see-through-all top. Sonakshi was recently busy shooting for Saif Ali Khan starrerBullet Raja in Kolkata . Rajjo committed a fashion faux pass as she wore a black transparent top, which revealed her innerwear. Well, we are not sure whether it was a mistake or not. If it wasn’t, dad Shatrughan Sinha would surely have screamed Khamosh !

All we can say is that not all dads can be as cool as Mahesh Bhatt. Sigh!

Aamir, Cameron discuss plight of the girl child

New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan met British Prime Minister David Cameron in New Delhi on Tuesday. Khan and Cameron interacted with students of Janaki Devi Memorial College in the capital. Khan, who had met with US President Barack Obama in 2010 during his India visit, is the only Bollywood actor to be meeting the English premier.

 

 

Apparently, the actor's team and David Cameron's office have been working out the schedule since a couple of months. The British Prime Minister expressed a desire to meet Aamir Khan owing to his growing popularity in the UK after he featured on the cover of Time magazine.

 

 

David Cameron has also been impressed with Aamir's social work through his TV show Satyamev Jayate . Aamir Khan, who is currently shooting for Raju Hirani's Peekay in Rajasthan, specially flew down to Delhi for the meeting.

 

 

“I was informed about the meeting around two three weeks back. For Satyamev Jayate we did a lot of research on the problems of women. The patriarchal thinking is the main reason for this. If we as a nation want to reach places, we have to stop killing girl child,” said the actor in a statement.
