Saif makes Deepika comfortable…

Prakash Jha’s next film Aarakshan, will have Deepika Padukone playing the lead. She has started working on the film. The actress was very nervous about the shoot as this is her first film with the director.
Deepy was in Bhopal, shooting at a college, when she suddenly had a nervous break down on looking at the crowd. After seeing the crowd of hundreds gathered at the college campus, she literally fainted.
A source reveals, “Bhopal is foreign territory for Deepika. She hasn’t shot for a film in the city before. Also, working with Jha was a first-time experience for her. His style of working is very different from the directors she’s worked with in the past.”
The source adds, “DP reached the production area, which was in the backyard of the college. Not many students had come in. The crowd was just about trickling in. In matter of couple of hours, the place was packed with students and everyone had gathered to see her shoot.”
Since her character is that of a college girl she was required to shoot at various places in the campus. However, things got better when Saif joined the shoot in the second half of the day.
“Deepika was much more comfortable when Saif came on set. He made her feel relaxed and put her at ease. She was also surprised at what kind of a hold Jha had on the crowd. Despite the fact that there were hundreds of students around, every time he would say action there would be pin drop silence on the set.”
By the end of the day Deepika got comfortable with the college crowd and even interacted with the students, promising to return to their campus once their shoot ends.

Ajay Devgn’s advice to Saif and Bebo…

Ajay Devgn recently confessed that he didn’t think Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor tying the knot was a good idea. This happened on KJo’s talk show, Koffee With Karan.
While one thought that Ajay Devgn coming solo on Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan might turn out to be damp squib, Devgn has conversely turned out to be an absolute shocker.
In a statement, which threw Karan Johar almost off his chair, Devgn looked straight into Karan’s eye and said that Bebo and Saif should not tie the knot.
The story goes that Karan was in his favourite ‘Rapid Fire Round’, when Devgn blurted out that Saif and Kareena should not marry. What exactly happened? “Well, Karan asked Ajay to render some piece of marital advice to Saif and Kareena.
Without batting an eyelid, Ajay said, ‘Don’t get married’. If it wasn’t a ‘Rapid Fire Round’ Karan would have definitely probed why Devgn holds this opinion about Saif’s and Kareena’s future,” says a source.
Is that statement going to remain in the episode? Said the source, “Why not? That’s quite a statement, isn’t it?”
But knowing Karan to be a curious cat, we wouldn’t be surprised if he asked Ajay why he said that about Saif and Kareena.
According to a friend of Devgn, the statement was made in good fun. “Woh usne masti mein bola hoga,” he said.

Professor Shahrukh in ‘Student Of The Year’

Recently when Johar unveiled the first look of his next film Student Of The Year – that will introduce new faces Varun Dhawan, Aaliya Bhatt and Siddharth Malhotra – eyebrows were raised because SRK was conspicuously missing from the credits.
Well, now we hear that SRK will indeed act in the film, apart from co-producing it with Johar. The actor will play a college professor whom the students adore.
Fans of the superstar might say they have already seen SRK playing similar roles in films like Mohabattein and Main Hoon Na.
But trust Karan Johar to make the character different. We hear he is taking a break from the hustle-bustle of Bollywood to work on the script and flesh out SRK’s character. We hope it won’t be just a cameo.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Jee- Bubblegum Comedy!!!

Director: Madhur Bhandarkar
Banner: Bhandarkar Entertainment and Wide Frame Pictures
Cinematography: Ravi Walia
Music: Pritam
Cast: Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Shruti Hassan, Shradha Das, Tisca Chopra
C: Ek Baar Chalta Hai
The last time I had so much fun watching a movie about three guy friends was a decade ago with Dil Chahata Hai. This time it’s National Award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar’s Dil Toh Baccha Hai Jee. Well, there is nothing common between the two movies except for the fact that both the titles start with the word “Dil” and both the movies are about three male friends.
Let me tell you the story very briefly. Naren (Ajay Devgn), a banker, is going through mid-life crisis in the middle of his impending divorce. He is head over heels in love with June (Shazahn Padamsee) who happens to be his junior at work and 17 years younger to him. As revealed by her that she was just 3 when he lost his “V” at 20. Abhay aka Abby (Emraan Hashmi) is an unemployed gym instructor and a “hardcore” womanizer. He plays a toyboy to a bored social butterfly Anushka (Tisca Chopra). Everything is fine till he falls in love with Nikki (Shruti Hassan) who turns out to be Anushka’s step daughter. Taking both mother as well as daughter for a ride is not such a good idea. Then we have Milind (Omi Vaidya) who proudly announces his “virgin” status. A true lover to the core, Milind is used by Gungun (Shradha Das) to fulfill her ambitions to become an actress. All these three men live under one roof sharing their problems and rejoicing in each others love victories.
The movie is a light-hearted comedy-cum-romantic flick. There is no stupid buffoonery or useless humor to it. What really makes you laugh are the funny one-liners which are carefully spread out in the entire movie. Good job by Sanjay Chhel. No mindless confusion or childish gimmicks to tickle the funny bone. What you will get is a simple and plain movie which looks very much like the love in the times of Facebook and Twitter. There is old-men-longing-for-young-girls, “fast” girls exploiting innocent men, girls having a “little fun” with no strings attached, and the list goes on….
DTBHJ is all about the trio right from the first frame of the movie. Ajay Devgn has already proved himself as an actor in his countless movies. Who can forget Omi Vaidya’s acting calibre? As for Emraan Hashmi, the man does it again. The effortless acting of all the three leading men is applaudable. The female cast, Tisca Chopra as a socialite, Shazahn Padamsee as a young and lively intern and Shradha Das as a typical glamor-loving, calculating girl have given decent performances. Shurti Hassan is a bit of a disappointment with absolutely no expressions on her face. Thank God she is introduced quite late in the movie.
But all the accolades should go to Madhur Bhandarkar for breaking his serious image and entering into a genre which is very difficult to handle. After all, making people laugh is no child’s play, right???? He has proved that if he can give us “Fashion” and “Chandni Bar” then he can also give us a “Dil Toh Baccha Hai Jee”. Music by Pritam is nothing great to talk about. However, we don’t mind humming “Lalalaaaaa…”.
All in all, DTBHJ is one of those movies which you would like to watch on a casual Sunday when you have nothing much to do. However, if you have an appetite for either intellectual humor or idiotic foolishness then do not watch this flick, you will be left starving at the theater.

Janta janarthan ka kya grade hai????

Actress reduces size of her night 'Peg'

To sync the mind and body, normal heroines adopt to become moderate drinkers for better health and shining face. Ravishing Roja is considered a matured lady in Telugu cine circuit who too is a moderate drinker. Joining the political party of Telugu Desham she burst in size growing the heavy weight. Resigning the TDP, death of YSR and flustering chaos on Jagan's new party appears to have made this veteran actress to fish for chances in TFI once again. Competing with present heroines and character artists require slim body and Roja is gossiped undergoing the weight loss treatment avoiding favorite non vegetarian food and also decreased the size of her night peg by half avoiding her favorite chief brands. Financial insecurity unavoidable by loosing the Assembly elections twice preferred Roja to refresh the old film contacts to win bread and butter. Roja is following a strict diet regime distancing from liquor but observing her revolt on cheap liquor belt shops two years ago made us think that she is a teetotaler. No, she preaches something and practices something.

Mega Star's favor for Raviteja rival

The latest of the friendship splits in TFI between Mass Maharaja Raviteja and his close associate Raja Ravindra is an unanswered topic from both. Disputes in industry is a regular happening and forgiving is the best that happens very rarely. Raja Ravindra becoming the rival of Raviteja for abusing his contacts resulted in firing from his camp.

Shockingly Raja Ravindra rejoined the camp of Raviteja on his birthday that is 26th January in the form of a special blessing from Chiranjeevi. Raja Ravindra is a loyal admirer of Chiranjeevi and one of the premier blood donors to the Blood Bank is gossiped to have requested Mega Star for a patch up with Raviteja.

Need fully Chiranjeevi mediated between both of them and ordered Raviteja to rejoin Raja Ravindra into the same job. Though Raviteja was reluctant but it was an order from top boss and the order is accomplished. This strengthened the bond of affection between Chiranjeevi and Raviteja while Raja Ravindra learnt a lesson of his life.

Naga Chaitanya in Hot Heroine's trap

Even before the news that Naga Chaitanya is dating one of the star heroines of Telugu Industry is digested, another one bombed now. The reason for this heroine, trapping this young hero looks like something professional.

Priyamani has become an ultra hot property of Telugu Cinema, who can lure the audience both with acting talent and asset show. The dusky beauty had shared her hotness along with Nag in 'Ragada' and Sumanth in 'Raaj', both the heroes from Akkineni family. Her next goal seems to be sharing screen space with Naga Chaitanya and if possible with Akkineni Nageswara Rao. Priyamani is recently spotted with Naga Chaitanya at a happening place in Jubilee Hills and some onlookers revealed that these days the couple are very regular there. Looks like Priyamani is looking forward for the blessings of 'young babu' to reveal some more oomph, even at least for an item song.

Power Star's love interest is Pregnant

Despite the other films she has acted in the Tinsel town, still she is in the minds of people only as Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's love interest. She is Preeti Jhagiani, who acted as a cute lover girl in PK's super hit flick 'Tammudu'.

A year ago, Preeti rocked Telugu Industry with a stunning item number in an unnoticed flick 'Tejam'. Though the flick went wrong, Preeti's stills managed to find their place on many desktops and cell phone wallpapers. This cute beauty is damn hot even after her marriage to Parvin Dabas and now there is sad news for her fans. The beauty is soon to give up her acting as she is expecting her first child. The actress stated that the due date is something very personal and she is happy for her pregnancy. Well, we are blissful for her anyway.

No more 'Hotel Rooms' for Trisha

Celebrities and their high profile habits are always a 'headache' for the producers. You might have seen in many films that a heroine demands mineral water for bathing and five star hotels for staying. Cute and sexy Trisha is the same kind of girl, as per insider reports.

Trisha always preferred to stay in the famous Taj Banjara Hotel, whenever she is in Hyderabad. More than that, she used to complain about the cleanliness and behavior of hotel staff etc,. and used to throw her starry tantrums. Well, to cut these kinds of extraaas of star heroines, Producers Council of Telugu Cinema has ordered everyone to provide only Service Apartments to these girls or else a big guy can go for Three Star hotel. This definitely blows on the head for girls like Trisha, as they are not happy even with a five star hotel.

2011 Special: 'Mega TV' and 'Power Newspaper'

Failing movies and unstable political activities finally motivated our Mega Star to spend some money from his pocket, it appears. Both at political and film careers, Mega family is not doing well and can be said that they are in a lean patch. Off late, Chiru's PRP became a biggest debacle than 'Puli' and 'Orange' at Andhra Pradesh's Votes Office. Like other leaders, Chiru is not having an own TV Channel and Newspaper to promote himself and his activities. According to reports, Chiranjeevi wants to buy an existing channel and wants take it to a next stage. Film Nagar sources are saying that it will be Mega TV and Power Newspaper, which will come as the newest entries in the media in 2011. Already, Allu Aravind and Pawan Kalyan are trying to buy some of the top people from other channels and newspapers, is the latest rumor.

Sexy Sensation's cute C-Magic

Small budgeted and debut director's flicks are always treated low at first and will be praised high if they beat all the odds. Same kind of craze happened with lady director Nandini Reddy's 'Ala Modalaindi' and it's new sexy actress, Nitya Menon.

When a heroine who doesn't shows any bit of skin exposes suddenly, it is definitely a treat for some passionate dudes. Nitya Menon, who debuted with 'Ala Modalaindi', managed to cover all of her body, while showing her cute cleavage at regular intervals in the film. It is not known whether it was intentional or accidental, but the sexy sensation's cute Cleavage-Magic is bringing some repeated audience for the flick. With the vogue she is getting, Nitya Menon may go places soon as most of our producers will run for such golden goose that can mint money for them.

Ask my Mom for Bikini

Sweet looking hot 'Mirapakay' lady Deeksha Seth is creating ripples for good height and great personality. Proving as an actor she failed in her first full length role with 'Wanted' and the enchanting seductress is concluded to increase the oomph and sex appeal with each movie as she may not win with the roles of a performer. It is heard that Deeksha is going for regular Yoga classes daily to further sharp the curves for sporting a new look in forthcoming films. Apparently artistically low valued girls like Deeksha end up sporting variety of bikinis with in a short time to grab the fancy offers. Although, this girl is not new to wearing skimpy costumes but producers and directors on the fore hand are intimated to take the approval from Deeksha's mother for bikini and remuneration. So, more the remuneration, less is the length of bikini.

Clash between Jr NTR and Raviteja

It appears that a trouble is brewing between the two big stars of Tollywood and the cause for that is a title. We are talking about Jr NTR and Raviteja. The buzz is that director Surendar Reddy had announced a film 'Rachcha' with junior but it is now heard that the title was already booked by Sampath Nandi of 'Yemaindhi Ee Vela' fame. Now, Sampath is busy working on that and wants to do a film with Raviteja. Now, the cine folks are saying that both Sampath and Surendar are working things out and the title is causing a bit of disturbance. However, since Sampath has already registered the title, the chances are that Surendar might choose a new one. Only time will tell who will get the title now.
