Buzz is that Shahid Kapoor is more than involved in Kunal Kohli's upcoming film

According to rumours, Shahid Kapoor, who has always expressed a desire to get into direction, is taking his dream a bit too seriously with Kunal Kohli's next film.
According to sources, the actor gives a lot of inputs in the film, tentatively titled Janam Janam Ka Saath Hai Hamara Tumhara.

The movie is a period love story set across three generations and stars SK opposite ex flame Priyanka Chopra. The pair is coming together for the first time for this project after Kaminey.

In control
A highly placed source on the set revealed, "Shahid has more or less taken the reins from director Kunal Kohli's hands. He sometimes also calls the shots on important matters like where to shoot and how to shoot a particular scene."

The source informs that the actor has also contributed a lot to the script
"Kunal wanted to shoot the first schedule in London but Shahid requested him to shoot in Mumbai first. So the director gave in.

SK wanted to shoot the first schedule in the city, so that he is available to finish some patchwork for Mausam his dad's film."

Working in tandem
A friend of the actor explains, "Every big star gives inputs in his film, it doesn't mean they are ghost directing it. The actor and the director work as a team and consult each other."

While the Kapoor lad remained available for comment, when asked if he is doing most of the direction, Kunal quipped sarcastically, " ¦And I am acting in the film."

After reports emerged that Bollywood lass Sonam Kapoor may make her Southern cine debut with a Tamil movie, the actress has called the reports plain rumours. Sonam Kapoor was also reported to be replacing Sonakshi in the Kamal Haasan starrer Viswaroopam.

MANSOOR KHAN IS BACK

Now this is going to be ‘big breaking news’ for all those who actually thought that one of Indian Film Industry’s gem was lost and took a sabbatical. His career began way back with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, followed by Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Akele Hum Akele Tum and then Josh. Now in such cases, you really don’t want the readers to keep guessing. So I can simply put it like – MANSOOR KHAN IS BACK!

Yes, the producer of Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na is back to where he belongs and back to what he does best. As of now, Aamir Khan has once again urged him to step into writing, and that too for Aamir Khan Productions. Aamir clarified the above when I met him yesterday at the Taj Lands End in Bandra where he was giving interviews for his next production Delhi Belly.

He quotes, “Mansoor Khan is a great talent. He produced Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na with me. I had to convince him for that (laughs). But this time I’ve convinced him to write for me too. After a long time, he will be coming back to writing in films. Four of us – I, Kiran, Mansoor and Nuzhat are working on it together. We start writing next month.”

deepika and vijay maliya new lovers

Ex flame of Ranbir Kapoor, actress Deepika Padukone is, currently, linked to Siddharth Mallya, the son of the liquor baron Vijay Mallya. Though the two haven’t confirmed their romance to the media, the tongues have been wagging right since they rubbed cheeks on IPL (Indian Premiere League).

The two have been spotted on many occasions since then and though they have maintained that they are merely friends, there is little doubt in the shrewd minds of the tabloid as to their brewing romance. The couple had an Indian Christmas which they celebrated in the town. But the buzz is that they are heading to London to celebrate the New Year. So, they can look forward to a cosy UK celebration as they bid adieu to 2010.

Meanwhile, Siddhartha has reasons to look happy. After all, his girlfriend Deepika Padukone is shedding weight and going near size zero for her item song in ‘Dum Maro Dum.’ Recently, we saw Katrina Kaif shed oodles of weight to look glamorous in ‘Tees Maar Khan’. Earlier, Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai had gone size zero for their films Tashan and Dhoom 2.

After making her breakup with Ranbir public and taking a full-fledged `panga’ on the `Koffee with Karan’ show with the youngest Kapoor boy Deepika Padukone is back in news. If you are a bollywood superstar you have to deal with controversies every day, whether you want them or not. Since the IPL days when Deepika was a prominent face at the Mallya matches sitting alongside Siddharth Mallya, there have been speculations of the two having an affair.

The rumors started catching up when both of them were spotted together at various events and parties organized by the millionaire son of the liquor king.

Rumor has it that the two love birds have planned a full-fledged vacation at London for the New Year celebrations.

After 5 films releasing back to back this year, the long-legged star has a well-deserved off. Both of them have however remained silent on the rumors and have maintained the cliché of being `good friends’. Vijay Mallya’s son is known to have a Casanova image in the industry but the beauty is a well experienced campaigner.

The 12th annual IIFAs, hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and Boman Irani, started 90 minutes late after a marathon green carpet stroll by Bollywood stars into the sold-out Rogers Centre in Toronto.

When the gala awards show did get under way, it quickly featured a host of A-list Indian film stars – including Kangana Ranaut, Bobby Deol, Shilpa Shetty of Big Brother fame, Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha Basu -- shimmering and shaking during full-on Bollywood music and dance routines.

Going into the main awards show, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai led the field with 12 nominations, followed close behind with Dabangg and its 11 nominations.

Shah Rukh Khan, Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire) and the Deol family were among the dozens of Bollywood superstars on hand in Toronto for the three-day IIFA Awards festival and awards show.

Shah Rukh Khan earlier tweeted to his fans that he was getting his knee taped up to perform a dance routine at the IIFA Awards show. “Feeling awful not being fully fit for IIFA ... as is attending after so many years ... will try and do my best. Toronto knee or not here I come !!!”

During a security lapse at the Toronto gala show, a fan rushed to the front of the stage and grabbed Shah Rukh Khan’s leg until his grip was loosened and he was escorted away.

In all, around 22,000 Bollywood fans filled Rogers Centre for the awards show, which reached an estimated worldwide TV audience of 600 million people.

Toronto has a 600,000-strong indo-Canadian community and politicians of all stripes take every chance they can to pose in front of local cameras with Bollywood stars.

Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper is frequently photographed with Akshay Kumar, and Ontario premiere Dalton McGuinty on Friday did a photo call with Shah Rukh Khan.

On Saturday night, McGuinty arrived on the green carpet outside Rogers Centre alongside Shah Rukh Khan yet again.

And Anil Kapoor gave McGuinty a rousing introduction Saturday night as the Ontario politician at the Rogers Centre repaid Bollywood’s North American charm offensive by bringing worldwide TV attention to Toronto.

Ra one will be released in nearly 3000 screens

Red Chillies Entertainment’s ‘Ra.One’ is growing bigger and slicker day by day… While the movie is releasing only in October as a Diwali treat, but the makers have already started its promotion with much fervour.

According to sources, ‘Ra.One’ the most ambitious project of Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, will be released in nearly 3000 screens with over 2000 prints in circulation in October (predicted to be the biggest release across the country)! Not only this; Ram Mirchandani (Chief Creative Officer, Eros International) confirmed that ‘Ra.One’ will also release in 3D.

Now such being the case, it will prove to be a very big challenge for other players. Except Himesh Reshammiya’s ‘Damma Damm’, there are no movies in that Diwali slot. In fact, ‘Rascals’ (starring Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan) was supposed to release simultaneously along with ‘Ra.One’, however will now release during Dussehra. A point to be noted, Ajay who usually get Diwali has also seems to have differed this year following Ra.One’s release.

shahrukh and katrina kaif confirmed for yash chopra's new film

As already announced, Yash Chopra's next directorial venture stars the king of romance, Shahrukh Khan. As Yashji put it earlier, "Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shahrukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own."

However, after days of media conjecturing, we are happy to confirm that the two ladies, who will also be a part of this project, are Katrina Kaif, who will be playing a role opposite Shahrukh for the very first time, and Anushka Sharma, who was launched in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", alongside Shahrukh.

Orchestrated by Yash Chopra, this untitled movie will mark the coming together yet again of the award winning duo of the music maestro A. R. Rahman and the poet & lyricist, Gulzar.

When we spoke with him, he shared some of his thoughts with us.

"It's been 7 years since I directed Veer-Zaara and as I begin work on my new film I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 years old and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today's youth to listen to me? Will I be able to live up to the blind faith that Shahrukh Khan has in me and give him yet another memorable romantic film? Will I be able to present the beautiful Katrina Kaif and the very talented Anushka Sharma in a way they have never been seen before? Will I be able to inspire Rahman and Gulzar Bhai enough to create their best work yet?

The honest answer is... I DON'T KNOW! All I know is that I'm making a film that I believe in, a film that is about love and nothing else. A film which has an old soul but a young heart. A film which is classic in its look but contemporary in its language. A film which I'm making on one simple faith... the love that my audiences have given to me over the years. They have tolerated my indulgences for the past 50 years, I'm sure they will indulge me one more time."

The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release, the festive time when Yash Chopra movies over the years have lit up homes worldwide.

Katrina kaif for Dhoom 3

Yash Raj’s highly action oriented film, ‘Dhoom 3’ will have triple dose of action, thrill and sex. The movie will have extra does of style which ‘Dhoom’ and ‘Dhoom 2’ lacked. To get into the role, Katrina Kaif needs to look sexier and hotter. Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra was also considered for the role opposite Aamir Khan but finally it was Kat who grabbed the meatier role.

We will see Katrine opposite Aamir Khan in this Yash Raj banner's next to be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya.

The other actresses Esha Deol and Bipasha Basu had undergone a complete image make over and promised the audience hot body and bikini avatar.

It is heard that Aditya Chopra is convincing Katrina to shed her inhibitions and don a bikini in this one.

A source informs, "Kats will have a sexy makeover for the film, as per the tradition. A Dhoom girl is supposed to look extremely sensous.

Though she has great body but for this film she will have to undergo special training and tone up a bit more.

Kajal says I am a South heroine

Kajal: I am a South heroine
Lately, there were so many rumours about actress Kajal Aggarwal in connection with her alleged comment that she never considered herself to be a South Indian actress as she is a North Indian by birth. Though she subsequently issued her clarification, explaining that her comment, which appeared in a Mumbai tabloid, was misquoted by the media, the actress still cannot believe all this happened to her!
She said that she has no idea from where all these rumours started and was upset on hearing that South Indian film fraternity wanted to ban her. "I will never be disrespectful to the Telugu and Tamil film industry. I have been brought up to respect my roots. And my roots are in Tollywood and Kollywood. So I'm really hurt and angry that someone has started this whole 'ban' issue without as much as bothering to speak to me.''
Kajal flashes fire as she says, "I have not heard from any association nor have I heard from any one of consequence wanting to ban me because I guess everyone responsible and in a position of power knows the real truth. I have had super success in Magadheera, Maaveran, Mr. Perfect and with the grace of God, my career in the South is going upward. Why would I wish to give up something so good?'' The actress also maintained that she would do Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films simultaneously and there is no question of choosing one over the other.

Indians are in love with movies, even though most films follow a similar format called masala

Bollywood films often have their own sense of internal logic and can be as surreal as any musical produced by American or European studios. The music is generally pre-recorded, sung by a core group of singers, with actors miming the words. Generally, professional playback singers provide the voices but of late there's a trend of the actors singing for themselves, like Aamir Khan in Ghulam. Bollywood films are often engaging spectacles that tell timeless stories of love and confusion.

Indians are in love with movies, even though most films follow a similar format called masala. Movies are three to four hours long, include dozens of songs and dances, top stars, the story between the songs of boy meets girl without any kissing or sexual contact, lots of action though no bloodshed, and always a happy ending. Fourteen million Indians go to the movies on a daily basis and pay the equivalent to the average Indian's day's wages to see any of the over 800 films churned out by Bollywood each year. That's more than double the number of feature films produced in the United States.

Although American-made films have been edging into India, only the blockbuster Titanic has ever made India's top five list. However, Indian films have become somewhat of an international obsession. Bollywood films are being shown in American and British theaters on a more and more frequent basis. These theaters have become community foci for the South Asian communities around the world. Though separated by a vast distance from home, South Asians have found Bollywood films to be a great way of staying in touch with their culture and their fellow South Asians.

Since India is a country of sixteen official languages and a total of twenty-four languages spoken by over a million people each, some portions of the film industry are fragmented. While Mumbai (Bollywood) leads India in film production, its specialty lies with Hindi movies. Chennai (formerly Madras) produces films in Tamil and Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is the Bengali movie capital. Bollywood's film production center is a government-owned studio facility known as "Film City" in the northern suburbs of Mumbai. Bollywood traces its start to 1911 when the first silent Indian feature film was released by D.P. Phalke. The industry boomed and today there are over 250 theaters in Mumbai alone.

The stars of Bollywood are very popular and highly paid, considering the budget of the films. Stars may be in such high demand that they're working on ten films at once. Photographs of Bollywood stars grace shop windows and homes throughout the country. Providing three to four hours of diversion is the primary objective of Bollywood and it's a recipe done well. Indian movies are becoming more and more popular around the world so watch for them in theaters and video stores near you.

Hilary Swank was on-hand at the 2011 International Indian Film Academy awards in Toronto, Canada

Saif set for a new work

Director duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK are all set to make a zombie comedy. The duo had a success with their last, critically acclaimed Shor in the City.

This zombie comedy will be the first out-of-the-box, unique concept for the Indian audience. The latest buzz we hear is that Saif Ali Khan will be playing the central character, probably the zombie. However, the zombie character has been kept under wraps.

According to a trusted source, “The film is produced by Saif Ali Khan’s Illuminati Films and is tentatively called Go Goa Gone. It is a horror comedy, a mix of two unlikely genres. Incidentally, Saif has been quoted saying that he wanted to make a horror film for some time now. Something like this has never been done in India.”

He further added “Preparation on the film started a few months ago, and shooting is about to start. Saif loved the idea in the first few minutes of hearing the concept and wanted to do it immediately. Saif will play a central role in the film while his sister’s boyfriend Kunal Khemmu will play an integral part.”

When contacted, Raj and DK said, “After Shor, people said we should do a romcom. And we thought, why not do a zomcom instead? We have had this story idea for years, but we think now is a great time to do this film. And the best person to do this with is Saif. Also, GGG is a complete change from Shor. A complete horror comedy with a lot of action thrills and chills.”

The demise of M F Hussain, the well-known painter from India, has saddened all his fans, who loved him so much. On the day he left the world, his fans in Bollywood such as Shahrukh Khan recalled the memories of the association he had with the painter.

Shahrukh said, “I have been very close to him, and so I just can’t believe he is no more. I’m a big fan of his work and the walls in my house are full of his paintings. I was working very late and I got up late but when I woke-up, I got know that Husain Saab has passed away. I always believed him to be an immortal personality.”

Shahrukh added, “I really miss him. I had to go to London for holidays but they got delayed by five-six days. The first thing I used to do on my visits to London was to meet him. Now, I really wish I had gone, I really wish I had met him one last time and if I would have gone three days earlier, I could have met him.”

Shahrukh even had the honour of painting with Hussain. Recalling that experience, the Bollywood star said, “Recently I had been meeting him very frequently, bumping into him in London. We had some great conversations. I also painted a painting with him as he took me and we made it together, though I was so scared that I would spoil it.

Apart from personal association, the two also had a professional association as Hussain’s paintings were used in Shahrukh’s film Asoka

salman Khan shot a humourous promo for his production, ‘Chillar Party’ like Aamir did for ‘Delhi Belly’

Salman Khan seems to be learning a lot from his friend Aamir Khan, especially with respect to the craft that Aamir excels in: film promotion. Aamir, producer of ‘Delhi Belly’ had shot a promo with the lead cast of the film, Imran Khan, Vir Das and Kunaal which created a lot of uproar. So, now Salman has decided to follow the same to promote his film, ‘Chillar Party’.

In the Delhi Belly promo, Aamir gets into a dialogue with the lead trio about the film and similarly Salman also gets into humorous dialogue with the kids around the film. Salman Khan’s signature style has been to remove his t-shirt as he has famously done so in most of blockbuster films. And the actor-turned-producer does the same in this cute and funny promo he shot for Chillar Party that he’s rumoured to have written as well.

The kids in the film were only too excited to see their favourite actor, Salman, shed his shirt and joined him by removing their shirts too. The promos feature Salman having a light-hearted conversation with the kids in the film whose characters names are Encyclopedia to Jhangia, Akram, Secondhand, Panauti, Silencer, Aflatoon, Shaolin and Fatka.

Best Lyrics went to Niranjan Iyengar for ‘Sajda’ and ‘Noor-e-Khuda’ in the film ‘My Name is Khan’. MNIK also won the award for Best Story. The award for best dialogue went to the thriller 'Ishqiya'.

Earlier, Bollywood stars thrilled hundreds of fans on the green carpet before the awards show that raises the profile of Bollywood globally and could lead to exciting opportunities for film production abroad.

The awards gala was a grand music-and-dance spectacle, with hosts Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh doing comedy gags.

The entire stadium erupted with screams when Khan took to the stage to kid around with the hosts in a witty banter.

Awards in 15 categories are up for grabs, with the gangster film 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai' leading the pack with an impressive 12 nominations. ‘Dabangg’ followed closely with 11 nominations.

"I certainly hope we'll sweep all the awards," said producer Arbaaz Khan. His wife, Mallika Arora Khan, already picked up the best choreography award for her gyrating dance number in the film.

Veteran actor Dharmendra was presented with a lifetime achievement award for his 50 years of acting in Bollywood.

"I know Punjabis from India and Punjabis from Pakistan, but both have found a new home in Canada," he said in Punjabi, referring to years of bitter feuding between India and Pakistan.

Sharmila Tagore, who has won several Indian National Film Awards, was also presented an award for outstanding achievement.

As per tradition, the show's first number was produced by the host country. The Ontario government's three-minute mix of video and live performance showcased the province's diversity with two Asian dragon dancers, bag pipers and South Asian costumes.

A high-energy dance number was performed by actress Kanagan Ranaut and a song-and-dance number by Bobby Deol, who arrived in a car that was driven onstage. He was later joined onstage by brother Sunny and their father Dharmendra.

The dance performances also included acts by Ranvir Singh and Sonakshi Sinha. Riteish Deshmukh won the award for best performance in a comic role for her part in ‘Housefull’, while Sonu Sood took the prize for Best Performance in a Negative Role for his work in ‘Dabangg’.

Mamta Sharma won the award for best female playback singer for her song ‘Munni Badnaam’ in ‘Dabanng’.

The award for best male playback singer went to Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for ‘Tere Mast Mast Do Nain’ from ‘Dabanng’.

For best music direction, the award went to Sajid-Wajid and Lalit Pandit for ‘Dabangg’. The award for best story went to Shibani Bathija for ‘My Name is Khan’. It was presented by Brett Lee, Fardeen Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala.

The award for best screenplay went to Abhinav Kahsyap and Dileep Shukla for ‘Dabangg’.

For the first time at the IIFA, Star Plus channel presented the Hottest Pair award to Anushka Sharma and Ranvir Singh for which 15 million votes were cast online. "Anushka, you make me feel hot," said Ranvir accepting the award in her company.

The first Green IIFA Award by Panasonic went to actress Priyanka Chopra.

Irrfan Khan, whom Anil Kapoor lauded for his performances on the global stage, received the IIFA award for his international performances.

The IIFA Rocks, a Bollywood-inspired concert and fashion show bonanza, paid a nostalgic tribute Saturday to late pop star Michael Jackson in a moving concert by Jermaine Jackson, elder brother of the King of Pop, to mark his second death anniversary. Singer and composer Sonu Nigam joined him in the performance.

IIFA Rocks started the awards portion of the weekend by giving away some technical film awards in between some high-energy musical performances by Mallika Sherawat who danced to 'Arabian Nights'.

Namrata Rao won the IIFA award for editing, Naharika Khan for costume and Vijay Dayal for best song 'Ainvayi ainvayi' in 'Band Baaja Baaraat'.

Pritam Das for best sound recording in 'Love, Sex aur Dhokha', Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy for background score in 'My Name in Khan', Leslie Fernandes for re-recording in 'Dabanng', and Sudeep Chatterjee for cinematography in 'Guzaarish'. Sabu Cyril won the award for art direction in 'Robot', which also won the IIFA awards for special effects and make-up.

The IIFA provides the climax for three days of moviegoing, dancing, fashion, music and a business forum aimed at strengthening ties between India and Canada -- something event organizers hope to do around the world, too.

Debuting in 2000 in London, the IIFA's have been held on four continents in cities including Dubai, Bangkok, Colombo, Singapore, Macau and Johannesburg but never in India.

I Am Sad For Not Participating In IIFA Preity Zinta

Salman Khan not going to IIFa awards in toronto

The IIFA weekend starts tomorrow, and fans are waiting to spot their favorite stars on the green carpet. The IIFA build up has included stories about the Bachchan’s not attending, whether Shahrukh Khan will be performing due to his knee injury and much more.

The latest buzz on the IIFA weekend, is that superstar Salman Khan won’t be attending the actually award ceremony, and this will surely leave his fans disappointed. The idea of an IIFA weekend is to take time of work and to bond with your colleagues, which means committing to the whole event.
It goes without saying; the IIFA’s have gone downhill ever since the Bachchans' have stopped participating.

It’s now been reported Salman will only be there to promote his debut movie production Chillar Party and won’t be present at the three day event which kicks off tomorrow in Toronto. Salman told reporters, ‘I am shooting for my next film Bodyguard and it is an action movie, so yes, you people won't see me there. IIFA will miss me this time.’

We wonder if it’s anything to do with the star’s enemy Shahrukh Khan being there to perform at the award ceremony. Either way Salman won’t be there cheering the actor while he is performing on stage.

Chillar Party will open the 12th IIFA awards ceremony and will be Salman's first production. Do you think SRK has pushed Salman away from attending the IIFA award ceremony?

IFAA blinking in Canada Toronto

The International Indian Film Academy is bringing its star-studded Awards Gala to North America for the very first time! The top names of the Bollywood industry will be converging on the city’s centre. Consider this the equivalent to Hollywood's Oscars!

For those of you who don’t know what IIFA is all about well, in a nutshell, it is a global showcase of Indian cinema. The IIFA Weekend and Awards is a celebration of Indian Cinema consisting of fun-filled activities that brings the fans close to their favorite stars. The highlight of the Weekend is the IIFA Awards Ceremony that honours the best of Indian cinema.

Wow! It is easy to believe that the thousands of available tickets that went on sale, sold out in a mere 10 minutes! An estimated 22,000 fans will be packed into the Rogers Centre come Saturday evening and will be entertained to the fullest!
Saif Ali Khan, Mallika Sherawat, Sonu Nigam, Preity Zinta, Vivek Oberoi, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Dharmendra, Karan Johar, Kabir Bedi, Hema Malini, Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Javed Jaffrey are just some of the Bollywood stars that will set foot in Toronto. But by far the biggest attraction will be the “King of Bollywood” himself – Shah Rukh Khan.

I know my daughter is a HUGE fan of “King Khan” and so desperately wanted to be a part of the festivities – but that plan didn’t materialize for us. We will be watching the star-studded show come Saturday evening along with millions of other viewers!

With events already in motion in and around the Greater Toronto area, there is a definite “buzz” in the air. Here is a run-down of what’s happening where!

Hey IIFA whats happening? say Torronto

At some point in the news reporting I realized first that the word Canada is never used. It is always reported that International Indian Film Academy Awards is visiting "North America for the first time". Once or twice is fair usage but when I consistently see and hear such an omission of the host country's name... ?
That isn't even what prompted this entry.
Jermaine Jackson is a musical performer for the IIFA Rocks fashion show at the Ricoh Coliseum. Say what? When MJ, Michael Jackson was alive, he had never visited this entire country (!) except for a single 'world tour' show in 1984. I don't know whether his brother Jermaine has appeared here besides during that one family performance. We have an extraordinary amount of cross border movie and television activity; yet I have not heard of Jermaine (or any other Jackson family performers) having otherwise visited Toronto or anywhere else in upper North America Canada throughout the past quarter century.
Why wouldn't IIFA hire a local music talent? Triumph is an example of a major Canadian success story and is from this region as well. They had even reunited a couple years ago at our national music awards telecast. Plus, their song lyrics are often as positive as any Bollywood Musical Number's.
Looking for an entertainer that is more dance-oriented? We have those too.

This is Canada. We spared soldiers to India during WWII in case of an attack there, from the Japanese who had taken over across the Far East. Are there broadcast television channels in New York City or Chicago or Atlanta etc., also dedicated to airing programs, news, and films about and from India and the entire South Asian region? Here there is and for over twenty years at that.
We have hundreds of thousands of South Asians living in Canada, all free to worship, to live work raise families and celebrate, and to promote or protest any of their causes publicly.
The least IIFA organizers could do is refer to CANADA more than "North America", and include a leading Canadian musical act over a non-visiting American*.


* Donny Osmond would have made for a great, and family friendly, American born choice. He has previously worked right here in Toronto (!) and continues to make music performances in Canada - including an appearance with his sister Marie in only a few weeks' time.

IIFA movement mis for abhishek and aishwarya due to aishwarya's pregnancy

The Bachchan family has always been an indispensible part of IIFA. Their presence was looked forward by the crowds with high anticipation. Being a brand ambassador of IIFA, Amitabh Bachchan cut himself from the event due to some tiff with the organizers. Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan not only make their presence felt every year but also performed during the event. But this time, the couple decided to skip the award for Aishwarya’s pregnancy.

It was earlier reported that Abhishek and Aishwarya will be performing to a medley of songs together but now, they have decided to skip the event on personal ground.

Well, the crowds of Toronto will surely miss fans Ash and Abhi but their absence is excusable.

aishwarya and abhishek get ready for theiy baby prince

The twitterazzi swooped down upon the news the instant actor and superstar Amitabh Bachchan hit the ‘send’ button. A tweet confirming the pregnancy of a leading actress in the industry, perhaps for the first time in cinematic history, made front page news in major national dailies. As the sun sets on the era of star kids, celebrity babies usher in a trend imported from Hollywood show business.

The celeb baby concept is a first in India, Hollywood has braced it and celebrated it for years now. THIS is India’s first celeb baby!

As Bollywood’s first family, the Bachchans have always been in the limelight, be it the intense coverage of the Abhi-Ash wedding or Senior B’s illness. And now with the baby on its way, the coverage seems to have upped and the paparazzi are waiting!
With Senior B tweeting the happy news, the whole nation, celebs et all, went in to a tizzy tweeting congratulatory messages. The news made front page in most news papers. Could we ever imagine, even a few years back – that a pregnancy announcement would make top headlines?

As a celeb baby, every moment of its life is going to be of interest, the pregnancy photos, the delivery date, the first baby photos might go to the highest bidder as is the Hollywood trend, the baby’s name will have the nation thinking and whether the new born will get the father’s height and gait or the mother’s looks. And post that, every action, every decision made by the celeb parents for the baby will be news. Tremendous pressure on a new-born isn’t it?

The celeb baby phenomenon has just come in to Bollywood with the Abhi-Ash baby announcement. The funny part is- Abhishek and Shweta had star parents as well, as did Esha Deol. But their birth and childhood was never half as high profile. Parents then perhaps did a much better job in protecting a childhood.

In the recent past, Ajay Devgan and Kajol’s children and Twinkle and Akshay Kumar’s son – has been in the news only when spotted with their star-parents. They aren’t stars yet. They still have the scope to grow up a little away from the lime light, make stupid mistakes and figure out fame and celeb-dom on their own. The Abhi-Ash baby will have no such luck.

The Abhi-Ash child will come in to an industry that worships the parents AND the grand parents. As Bollywood is getting used to the high profile stardom common in Bollywood, where every photo opp is grabbed and flashed in minutes, this celeb baby is on its way. With every baby-news related tweet trending in minutes – the stage is set.

So what goes in to the making of a celeb baby? No, we are not talking about the obvious! But just a look into why Nyasa or Aarav did not meet the bar. First- Both the parents must be celebs in news. One of them cannot be missing in action, no sabbaticals from being a celebrity. Kajol and Twinkle were not involved in Bollywood when they had their kids. Second- The pregnancy news must make headlines, be re-tweeted most or get the most hits online.

Hollywood has made peace with the celeb babies, the groomers they have as toddlers, the personal labels and brands they have even before they can talk properly, the trends they start and the labels they wear. Is Bollywood ready for this?

Hollywood has Suri and Shiloh, daughters of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie respectively. The celeb babies are already getting used to being under continuous paparazzi gaze and analysis by fashion critics. Shiloh wearing boots and shorts made news! And if the two girls are on each others social calendar – god save them! (They in fact had a play date) The Abhi-Ash child should take some pointers from them.

Clearly, with no space for mistakes or irresponsible behavior for the child and an eagle eye on mom’s pregnancy dates and lifestyle till the bundle of joy is received – life in the Bachchan household is just going to get more dramatic.

That is what life will be for Bollywood’s first celeb baby. Here’s hoping that he/she gets some more celeb playmates to give her company soon

Drinking age: Bollywood, Maharashtra govt at war

Mumbai: Maharashtra's Social Welfare Minister Shivajirao Moghe hit back at celebrities who criticised the Government's decision to increase the age-limit for drinking alcohol to 25 years. He said movie stars should be creating awareness on the dangers of alcohol consumption.

Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Imran Khan and Raveena Tandon have voiced their concern about the debatable topic of what is the right age limit for the consumption of alcohol.

Actor Imran Khan recently questioned the Maharashtra government's decision to increase the permissible age for drinking alcohol to 25 and now the star is taking it to the next step by taking legal recourse.

Meanwhile, the state government remains unfazed and is maintaining its stand.

Social Welfare Minister Moghe said, "We have taken a stand and we will fight it in the court. Celebrities should help us in creating awareness against drug abuse."

The celebrities, though, were not convinced with Moghe.

Imran Khan said, "I'm aware the government is concerned about addiction. But you cannot assume that only those under 25 years of age will be affected, at any age one can be addicted. If there are addiction campaigns, I'll be a part of this."

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan found the decision strange and said, "It's strange you can vote at an age you can't drink at, you can get married at a certain age but you can't drink. I find it very strange.

Actress Raveena Tandon, holding a similar point of view said, "I know it's a cliche, but really, you say people at 18 are old enough to take legal and political decision, but they can't have a drink?"

With celebrities and youth icons themselves spearheading the campaign against the increased age limit for drinking, the state government now has its work cut out to defend its decision.

Bollywood bets on a blue-suited saviour

KOLKATA, INDIA—A nerdy father struggling to connect with his son makes a computer game that pits a superhero against his arch nemesis.

The universe somehow goes off kilter for a moment and, voila, hero and villain come to life, taking their battle to the streets of India.

Add Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan and some state-of-the-art special effects to Ra.One, the Indian film industry’s most anticipated scheduled release this year, and you have the recipe for a box-office winner in the subcontinent.


But as Bollywood glitterati prepare to descend on Toronto for the International Indian Film Academy awards from June 23 to 25 — Khan is expected to be among them — Khan’s colleagues at Red Chillies Entertainment, his Mumbai production company, say they hope a series of tweaks will turn Ra.One into a rare overseas winner.

Bollywood sure could use one.

Even though the number of multiplexes across India has surged, the country’s film business has been in a tailspin the past two years thanks to a string of high-profile flops. The industry, which produces about 1,100 films a year, generated $1.85 billion last year, down 20 per cent from 2008.

This spring, India and its South Asian neighbours shifted their gaze to sports as India hosted the Cricket World Cup. That carved a further $11 million out of the pockets of cinema owners.

“It hasn’t been a good few years, and no one can predict when it will turn around,” says Rajesh Jain, head of the media and entertainment group at consultancy KPMG, which produced a recent study about Bollywood’s decline.

But Khan’s colleagues say Ra.One, due for release this fall, has a chance to become a watershed.

Traditionally, Bollywood features have sandwiched a plot around a string of song-and-dance numbers. For instance, the popular film Hum Aapke Hain Koun! (Who am I to you?), a movie about two weddings and a funeral, had no fewer than 14 songs. Ra.One will have just two.

Khan’s coworkers are also trying to coax him to cut the movie from two and a half hours to 90 minutes. Even though the movie will be shown in Hindi with English subtitles, a shorter length would give it a better chance of being accepted by North American theatre owners.

Also in the works are plans for a set of Shah Rukh Khan action figures that may be sold at Target and Toys R Us stores and on Amazon.com.

The toys would similarly bolster Khan’s image in Canada and the U.S., where even as one of the world’s most famous movie stars, he could still walk down most streets in comfortable anonymity.

Then there’s Ra.One’s budget, an estimated $30 million. That makes it one of Bollywood’s most expensive movies ever. Much of that cash has been pumped into Hollywood-quality post-production work, although it’s still a modest amount compared to the nine-figure sum spent on the superhero films Hollywood is presently churning out, including Thor, Green Lantern and Captain America.

In an effort to create a buzz, Ra.One’s trailer started screening six months before its September release date, said Shailja Gupta, a Red Chillies marketing executive. Most Bollywood features are released two months after the trailer and one month after their soundtracks hit stores.

“We’re really trying to model this production after Hollywood,” Gupta says, adding Ra.One will probably be released in some 400 U.S. theatres, as well as locations in Toronto and Vancouver.

It all sounds great, but even Khan is skeptical western audiences will flock to Ra.One.

Last summer, Khan’s My Name is Khan, about a man with Asperger syndrome, was released after it was filmed mostly in the U.S. That movie sold $4 million worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada, but it featured a large amount of English dialogue. Now it’s up for the top prize at the IIFA awards, presented on June 25.

“I’m trying to convince Shah Rukh that westerners will come to see Ra.One, but he’s a skeptic,” Gupta says. “He asks me if I would go to see a Bangladeshi superhero film.”

There is a precedent for what Khan’s production company hopes to do.

In the summer of 2006, the Bollywood superhero feature Krrish was released both in India and overseas. Considered Bollywood’s first big-time science fiction release, it starred an extraterrestrial coming to earth and befriending a well-meaning but intellectually challenged man.

While Krrish sold $15.2 million worth of tickets in India, according to boxofficemojo.com, its performance in the U.S. and U.K. was more modest, with a combined $2.7 million in sales.

But Krrish didn’t have Khan. Slim with a shock of black spiky hair, Khan is considered semi-divine by some Indians, including at least some of the 20 million Indians living outside of India.

Having Khan as a star makes it easier for his colleagues to gamble on Ra.One. When you’ve got a god starring in your production, you can afford to lose a few dance numbers.

Sanjay Dutt meets Narendra Modi to discuss setting up of film studio in Gujarat

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi had a special guest on Monday and it was none other than our very own 'Munnabhai' Sanjay Dutt. Before you start wondering whether this was some high prolife political meeting, let us assure you that it was not. Sanjay had in fact gone to meet Modi to discuss the prospect of setting up a film studio in the state of Gujarat.

Sanju Baba apparently has been mighty impressed with the way Gujarat has developed as a state over the last couple of years. He has also been toying with this idea of starting a state-of-the-art film studio for a while now. However with escalating costs and lack of spaces in Mumbai being a problem, Sanju thought of discussing the possibility of setting up the studio in the neighbouring state of Gujarat.

If this dream turns into a reality, you will suddenly see a host of Bollywood bigwigs making a dash to Gujarat every now and then.

All was going as planned at the event with Aamir welcoming all the invitees but all hell broke loose when Amitabh walked in with the look of his film, Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap. All eyes followed him and the journos present at the event rushed towards him to have news bite from him, right before Aamir's eyes.

Sources said that Amitabh tried to avoid the journos, making clear that he was not there to promote his film. However, on bombarded with questions related to Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap, he spoke up, and everyone at the event went into frenzy.

Everybody forgot Aamir and Lagaan, at least while the Big B spoke!
