Now, reports have it that she has finally given the nod for the lead role opposite SRK in this sci-fi venture from Red Chillies providing some major scripts changes are made.

The film is expected to be shot in USA. No release date has been finalized as of yet but it is expected that the film should hit the screens by Diwali 2010.

October 30th 2009 Hrithik & Aishwarya to sing a song for ‘Guzaarish’
After displaying his acting and dancing skills, actor Hrithik Roshan is now bent on making his singing talents known. He has crooned for a song in ‘Kites’ and now will also exercise his vocal chords for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’ along with Aishwarya Rai.
Again, this is not the first time for Ash too where she will be experimenting with singing. She has already done a song for Josh along with Shah Rukh Khan. The song has been composed and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali himself and it was he who wanted the actors to try out the song themselves. Initially both were a little apprehensive but after sitting with the director and talking about the song, both gave a green signal. Apart from singing the duo are also learning Portuguese for the film.”
In Guzaarish, Hrithik plays a paraplegic suffering from impairments of the motor and sensory functions of the lower limbs. Aishwarya Rai plays his nurse in the movie. Given the kind of sparking chemistry displayed by Hrithik-Ash jodi in “dhoom 2’ and ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, this one seems to be the one to watch out for!!

October 26th 2009 Personal items of stars fetching huge amounts at Farah Khan’s chat show
A new trend has been set by Farah Khan’s chat show ‘Tere Mere Beach Main’, where stars auction their personal items for charity.
Superstar Salman Khan donated his famous yellow towel from ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ autographed by him. He also jived to the popular track of ‘Jeene ke hain chaar din’ with this towel on the show. The towel has been bought by a fan for a whopping 1 lakh. All the proceeds of the celebrity memorabilia auctions will benefit the NGO SNEHA (Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action).
Again, the Kolkata-based Riddhi Nair, a 33 year old housewife, decided to bid for Olympic gold-medalist Vijender Singh’s boxing gloves auctioned on the show because she was moved by the way his mother brought him up. She spent Rs.17,800 for the item and says she will treasure it like “heirloom” forever.
“I happened to see the repeat telecast of ‘Tere Mere Beach Mein’ where Vijender’s mother spoke about how she never bought a new sari for herself for a long time so that she doesn’t have to compromise on her son’s training. It left me very emotional.
“I was touched to see his rising - from a remote village to being a world champion. It’s very thought provoking. It is the perfect example for my daughter that she must always do something big in life,” said Nair.
Nitin Jain, a 39-year-old investor, bid for Priyanka Chopra’s autographed Gavin Maguel designer dress auctioned on Farah’s show and paid Rs.50,000 it.
“Recently, there were several items that were auctioned on ‘Tere Mere Beach Mein’ - the chat show on STAR Plus. We had bid for many of them and were, in fact, the second highest bidders for Bipasha Basu’s shoes. But my daughter is a Priyanka Chopra fan - so she also wanted it,” said Jain, who is based in New Delhi.
Other items sold through the show include Shahid Kapoor’s cap for Rs.28,500, Kareena Kapoor’s blue dress for Rs.22,300, Yusuf Khan’s cricket bat for Rs.60,750, at all.

They had been courting each other for nearly two years now and they never tried to hide their finally. Finally, they have decided to get into the commitment mode and Shilpa Shetty is getting engaged to Raj Kundra today with a “very private affair” to be attended by “immediate family members” of both Shilpa and Raj.

October 24th 2009 The cat-woman and mermaid Kareena Kapoor
There is no denying that fact that Kareena Kapoor is at present the hottest star to bank upon in Bollywood. So, when the Italian watch brand ‘Chronotech’ came in to launch their brand in India, Bebo was the obvious choice as their brand ambassador and what made the promotion a novelty is the fact that Kareena has donned upon two very different looks for the ad.
In the first look, she is a cat woman quite similar to that of Lara Croft with a black jumpsuit, tightly coiled hair and whipcord body. In the other look, Kareena is a mermaid in a blue attire. Doubtlessly, Kareena looks ravishing in both the looks.

October 23rd 2009 Producer arranges organic cigarettes for Deepika Padukone
Do not be surprised if you find Deepika Padukone blowing out puffs in her forthcoming ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’. Deepika comes from a family where heatlh and healthy habits are sheer priority. So, when her ultra-modern character in the film required her to smoke cigarettes, Deepika was worried that she would get addicted to it.
Farhan and producer Ritesh Sidhwani respected Deepika’s concern and came out with a unique solution. They ordered special nicotine-free organic cigarettes for the actress.
Talking about the issue, Sidhwani said, “It’s a film about a lovable loser and a modern, hip girl. Farhan makes Deepika quit smoking. So we have a nice message in the end. We didn’t want to be responsible for inculcating a bad habit and that’s why these organic cigarettes were needed.”
In the film the lovable loser Karthik (played by Farhan Akhtar) helps her to quit smoking. Since she quits smoking ultimately, there is also a social message attached to it.

October 22nd 2009 Anushka Sharma chosen over Deepika Padukone

Grapevine has it that Parachute have shot their new commercial with Anushka and the ad will hit the small screen soon.
Deepika was replaced because of her high price. She had signed the brand long before she shot to fane with ‘Om Shanti Om’ and now her prices have naturally gone up. So, the company opted for Anushka instead.

Each zone will have a brand ambassador who will announce the names of the finalists of their zones. While Salman Khan will be seen rooting for the North zone, Bipasha Basu for East and Arshad Warsi for South. Its being said that Bollywood baadshah Shah Rukh Khan and actress Kajol have been approached for the NRI zone along with Katrina Kaif.

Rani has got this opportunity after Madhuri and Aishwarya backed out. “Madhuri has ditched the channel and production house as she could not find a nanny to look after her kids. There were talks with Katrina Kaif too but things seem to be bit difficult there, thus now they have approached to Rani Mukherjee for the same,” says the source from the production house.

October 7th 2009 Kajol and Kareena to match their acting skills
Actress Kajol and Kareena Kapoor would be working together in the hindi remake of ‘Stepmom’ to be directed by Siddarth Malhotra. Kareena is very excited about the role which according to her is quite different from what she has done in the past. The film would be having a lot of dramatic scenes between the two actresses and Kareena has been attending workshops and rehearsals so that she can match the acting caliber of Kajol.
Says Kareena, “The last time I rehearsed for a part was for Vishal Bharadwaj’s Omkara. But that was a more unconventional film and role where I had to get into a milieu and character I knew nothing about. But Stepmom is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl.”
Kareena is known for the way she oozes glamour and she is finding it hard to play a normal girl. “I walk, talk, dress like an ordinary working girl. I’ll be using no makeup,” she says. Even Bollywood’s ace designer Manish Malhotra is having a hard time to tone down Kareena’s glamour quotient in Stepmom to look like an ordinary working woman.
Talking about Kajol, Kareena said: “She’s always been one of my favourite actresses. We worked together in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. But this is something else.”
Talking about her role in the film, Kareena said, “The desi version of Stepmom is very different from the original. My role is also a big departure from what Julia Roberts played in Stepmom.”

October 7th 2009 Priyanka & Mugdha glam up the music release of ‘Jail’
The music of Madhur Bhandrakar’s forthcoming flick ‘Jail’ was launched this Saturday at a multiplex in Mumbai. The film stars Neil Nitin Mukesh along with Mugdha Godse and Bhandarkar invited Priyanka Chopra to launch the music which has been composed by Sharib-Toshi and Shamir Tandon.
Mugdha and Priyanka have earlier worked with Madhur in his blockbuster ‘Fashion’.
The music of the film has created news already because it has one song titled ‘Saiyan Ve’ which has been recorded by none other than Lata Mangeshkar along with Neil Nitin himself.
According to Neil, “I enjoyed taking a break from his usual acting duties to croon for the film. I love singing. So when I was offered this song I just couldn’t refuse to go along with it. Jail is a very dear movie to me and this would just add a little more involvement. I am super excited and hope that people love this song. Sharib-Toshi have given amazing music and lyrics which is another USP of the song. Bonding with the duo was so much fun and I really had quite a nice time singing this rock version.”
About her role in the film, model-turned-actress Mugdha says, “My look in Jail is very de-glamorized. On the first-day of the shoot, I came for my shot with make-up on, and Madhur asked me to wash my face and get the make-up off. He wanted a completely natural look and I finally ended up with only kajal and mascara.”
Mugdha is also full of praises for her director who has given her a chance to show her potential for the second time after ‘Fashion’. She says, “Madhur always gives equal if not more importance to his female characters and I am happy that he trusted me to play two diametrically different roles (in both Fashion and Jail). He has in fact given me the courage and confidence to experiment with different roles.”
‘ Jail’ is scheduled for release on November 6.
