June 30th 2009 Kareena Kapoor goes de-glam for ‘3 Idiots’
On one hand where Kareena Kapoor will be seen in a super glam avatar for ‘Kambakkth Ishq’, she sports a completely de-glam or you could say a geeky look for Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ where she plays the role of Neha, the professor’s daughter, from the book ‘Five Point Someone’. Aamir Khan, on the other hand, would be playing the handsome and genius Ryan. Sharman Joshi plays the role of Alok and Madhavan will be Hari, who adores Ryan and wants to be like him.
The cast and crew were in New Delhi at Connaught Place for the shoot of the film where Kareena was spotted wearing spectacles and Aamir was seen handling a strange machine named ‘virus inverter’.
The crew has already shot in Shimla, Ladakh, Bangalore and Mumbai. When they shot at the Pangong Lake in Ladakh which is 13,900 feet above sea level, Kareena went breathless due to the lack of oxygen.
“We had little oxygen, no electricity and no hot water. On top of that, I was in a wedding ghagra-choli outfit in that freezing cold, can you imagine! The wind almost swept me off my feet,” said Kareena.
To protect herself from the freezing cold, Kareena wore thermal heating along with her outfit. “But that was of very little help. Finally the unbearable cold was all worth it for a wonderful film. The boys (Aamir and Madhavan) were great fun. And Raju Hirani is a gem.”

June 22nd 2009 The nudity question offends Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor is known for her poise, beauty, elegance and calmness. She has always been friendly and polite with the media, but recently she lost her cool when a journalist raised an undignified question to her at the promotional event of her upcoming film ‘Kambakkth Ishq’.
Kareena was in good mood when the conference began and said to the journalists, “I am open to any kind of film whether it is ‘Jab We Met’, ‘Omkara’, ‘Dev’, ‘Gomaal Returns’ or ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ because all my films are different and if the script and the film demands anything - I am such an actress that I’d do anything for both the script and the film.” However, she also said that she is not prepared to do movies that require her to wear a bikini, as it offends her mother
At this one Punjabi news journalist candidly asked her whether she would go nude for a film. This offended Kareena and raged her so much that she stormed out of the event without uttering a word.

June 16th 2009 SRK gears up for daring in ‘Don 2′
Director Farhan Akhtar and producer Ritesh Sidhwani have no two thoughts that their sequel ‘Don 2’ will be a grand and extraordinary flick in terms of action, locales and grandeur. The film will be shot in Dublin where no Indian film has been shot till date. Though there is no double role for SRK this time, he will be performing daring and breathtaking stunts this time. But for this, his shoulder surgery could pose a problem. So, SRK has given his dates in 2009 for Karan Johar’s ‘My Name Is Khan’ which does not require much physical stamina. He has decided to start the shoot for ‘Don 2’ in May 2010 in Ireland and Berlin. Contrary to the rumors Priyanka Chopra is very much there in the sequel.
Producer Ritesh Sidhwani confirms this saying, “We’re very much going ahead with the original cast Shah Rukh, Priyanka, Boman Irani, Arjun Rampal and Om Puri. Only those who died in the original won’t return, obviously.”
He adds, “We’re shooting Don 2 in Dublin. No Indian film has been shot there. We want to make sure that the sequel goes ahead of the first film. While the first part was a remake the sequel is an original script and would be much tougher to film for Shah Rukh and Farhan.”
