Sanjay Dutt trapped in a landslide in Manali, returns without shooting









In his first full-on action schedule in a long time, Sanjay Dutt got together with action directors Javed-Ejaaz in Manali for some serious stunts including hand-to-hand combat. In the process he aggravated a shoulder injury, which would now have o be looked into immediately when Dutt returns to Mumbai.

But the worst blow was delivered by Nature when torrential rain caused a landslide and stopped short Dutt's dreams of doing devilish derringdo in the stunning expanse of the Rohtang Pass.

It was a harrowing end to a spectacular schedule devoted to rough action scenes. On Tuesday, the cast and crew of Rahul Dholakia's Lamhaa were to shoot some truly complicated action sequences at the breathtaking Rohtang Pass.

On Tuesday producer Bunty Walia said, "We didn't shoot at Rohtang Pass. We've packed up in Manali. We'll return to Mumbai on November 20 and start shooting in Film City from November 24. It was a very frustrating experience. We drove through the most impossible roadway because this was the last day of the schedule and there was no way we could delay. Sanju had to get back. We had to encounter the most nightmarish weather. If we didn't turn back, we'd face the danger of a serious road accident."

The crew would have liked to plod on. But a landslide blocking the way to Rohtang Pass left the Lamhaa crew with no choice but to turn back.

And now the remaining action scenes will have to be shot in Kashmir when the crew returns in January after the elections

Madonna and Guy Ritchie get divorce









Pop queen Madonna's split with her director husband Guy Ritchie got the legal stamp today after the High Court here granted them a preliminary divorce.

Madonna and Ritchie did not attend the hearing.

The "decree nisi" was pronounced by District Judge Caroline Reid after the couple agreed not to demand a financial settlement from each other, the Telegraph reported.

The divorce will become final after a period of six weeks and a day.

Their case - Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S - was listed before District Judge Reid and was announced in Court 10 of the Principal Registry of the High Court's Family Division, the paper said.

The 50-year-old singer and her 40-year-old British filmmaker husband had announced their decision to separate in mid-October after a marriage of eight-years.

The duo had married in a lavish ceremony in 2001.

Madonna will keep most of her USD 440 million fortune after Ritchie said he did not want "any of her money".

They have also agreed to share custody of their two boys, eight-year-old Rocco and three-year-old adopted David Banda.

Under the British law, Ritchie, whose fortune is estimated at some 30 million pounds, could have claimed to half of Madonna's wealth earned during their seven and a half year marriage but he reportedly rejected the offer.

The bone of contention between the high profile couple were their two children, with both of them wanting to keep the children.

Is Dil Raju missing his Midas Touch?

Dil Raju, who prefers not be called a producer with the Midas Touch in the film industry, believes that it was his judgment power alone that makes him successful at his business deals.

Of late, he had developed a scare, looking at the business of the film Yuvatha, starring Happy Days hero Nikhil, which he took up through his production house. Though he predicted that the film would draw huge youthful crowds, it didn't happen.

However, with reports saying that the film is gradually picking up with the mass sections, he is said to have heaved a sigh of relief. Though 'Yuvatha' has not let him down completely, it did give him a jolt.

Surya s/o Krishnan, also taken by Dil Raju for Nizam area, is battling at the box office. However, reports say that the flick is doing considerably good in the Ceded area, particularly Tirupati and Nellore, where the crowds are used to watching Tamil and the dubbed films with encouraging levels of response.

Ramcharan's film reels go missing

Ram Charan Teja's latest film in the direction of SS Raja Mouli is under brisk shooting schedules at Ramoji Film City.

Produced by Allu Arvind on their home banner Geeta Arts, the flick generated a lot of heat in the industry and at the business circles too. Interestingly, the unit registered a case with the Hayath Nagar police in the RR district limits a couple of days ago that some reels pertaining to the film went missing at the RFC.

Some security personnel and the film unit members launched a hectic search all over the sprawling premises to recover the reels, but in vain. A few days ago, some photographs and small video clips got leaked into the internet as was in the case of Pawan Kalyan's Jalsa.

In this regard, some of the unit members observed that it could be a ploy on the part of the producers to create hype as was alleged in the case of Jalsa which witnessed piracy of three songs even before the audio was released.

Angelina Jolie wears pee soaked dresses on the red carpet









Angelina Jolie, who loves running around after her six kids, has revealed that sometimes she wears ‘pee soaked’ dresses on the red carpet!

The Academy Award-winner said that there had been times when she has had to handle her career and family at the same time and in the process been peed upon while rushing for a big night, reports China Daily.

She said: “The only time fame and family life ever collides is if, you know, we're trying to get ready for some event where we have to walk a carpet and somebody gets peed on, and figures, 'Oh well, I guess we'll be wearing that this evening.’”

The Changeling actress, who recently admitted she’d love to add more kids to the family, further insisted that despite not being married, both she and Brad felt they haven’t missed out anything.

She told British TV show GMTV: “I don't know - it's not that I'm hesitant. We jumped into being a family first, and that just seems like the biggest commitment you could possibly make anyway. So, it doesn't feel like anything is lacking."

Indian Ocean to compose music for Aamir Khan venture










Popular band Indian Ocean, which changed the course of contemporary fusion music in India with its album Kandisa, has been experimenting with Bollywood music and its latest project is a film being produced by Aamir Khan.

"We are composing three songs for a film which is being directed by a newcomer, Anusha, and will be produced by Aamir Khan," said Amit Kilam, the group's drummer.

After receiving rave reviews for its unique style of music, Indian Ocean entered Bollywood with Anurag Kashyap's controversial film Black Friday.

Even though the music was completely out of the league and unusual, it was highly appreciated, especially the song Bande.

The group is also composing music for Mumbai Cutting and Bhoomi.

"Mumbai Cutting is a compilation of 12 short films on Mumbai and we have done one song for Anurag Kashyap's short film," Kilam said.

"We are also composing music for a new film Bhoomi currently under production. We are supposed to compose six songs for the film," he added.

Rahul Ram anchors Indian Ocean along with Sushmit Sen on the guitars. While Asheem Chakraborty plays the tabla, the versatile Kilam accompanies on the drums and many other forms of percussion as well as vocals.

Kilam said it was a good time to create music in Bollywood as it was going through a transitional phase and becoming more open to unconventional tunes.

"Bollywood is opening doors and using different sorts of music a lot more than before," he said. "Since the reach of the industry is tremendous, when Hindi films use composers like us or other young bands and young singers, then the kind of music we create has a bigger chance to reach out to more people," Kilam added.

The band was in the capital to perform at the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT).

Indian Ocean's genesis dates back to 1990 when it came out with its first album. In 18 years, it has brought out four albums - Indian Ocean, Desert Rain, Kandisa and Jhini.

The band has also performed in London, at the New Zealand Arts Festival, Melbourne Arts Festival, Smithsonian Folk Life Festival (Washington), Tokyo, Indonesia, Germany, Singapore, Italy and Dubai.

"We don't feel a lot of difference when we perform in India and when we perform abroad. It's only that the audience size is a little smaller in the west because everything is organised to accommodate a set number of people. In India the number is much more," Kilam said.

Indian Ocean is known for their amalgamation of rural, urban, world and classical music.

But what is their genre?

"We don't want to confine our music to a particular genre. We don't know what our music is. And we don't want to say what it is. Instead of calling our music something else we prefer to name it Indian Ocean Music," said band member Sushmit Sen.

Trisha set to regain lost ground in Tollywood














The petite beauty Trisha is on cloud nine after winning the Nandi Award for her best performance and is currently busy with the shooting of her film 'King'.

This is said to be a crucial one for her since the fight for the number one position has long been on between her and the slender beauty Ileana in the Telugu circuit. So sources close to Trisha say that if she can pull off a major success with 'King' then her position as the number one would be cemented for a while till Ileana comes across with her line of movies.

For now, the fear of Nayanthara is not around since the hot Malayalee beauty has been busy with her films in Tamil. King is now slated for release on December 18th and Trisha’s pairing with Nagarjuna, looks like a double treat for this pretty girl.


Scarlett Johansson flattered to know she inspired Katy Perry’s I Kissed a Girl










Scarlett Johansson has revealed that she is flattered to know that she was the inspiration behind Katy Perry’s hit song I Kissed a Girl.

The actress, who gained critical acclaim for her roles in movies such as the Ghost World and Lost in Translation, had been told that she had been Katy Perry’s muse when the platinum-certified single was penned.

The singer, who made her debut in May this year as a vocalist on her first album Anywhere I Lay My Head, added that despite the compliment, her lips belonged only to hubby Ryan Reynolds.

"That's flattering, but my lips are kind of taken,” People magazine quoted her as telling December’s Allure.

Scarlett, who previously remained unfamiliar about her role in Perry’s song, added: “I had no idea (about the song). I should get a cut!"

'Maxim'um Trial For Aishwarya Rai's Bikini Pic

With more and more starlets willing to go bold in Bollywood, the first ones to grab them are the famous 'Maxim' magazine folks who have the credit of even revealing the shy and royal beauty Soha Ali Khan in her lingerie. So now, it appears that they want to go for a jackpot.

If news is to be believed, then the Maxim folks are said to be trying to get in touch with the gorgeous beauty Aishwarya Rai and are willing to part with a fortune if she agrees to come up with an exotic still that might just be on a bikini or anything sensuous. Some of the best negotiators are said to be on this job.

However, Ash is quite busy with her film assignments and the recent disturbances at home so it is not really sure that given her family status and her own image, would she really give in for the temptation of the big fat purse that is actually awaiting her if she gets to do some revelations.

Beware of email from Katrina Kaif

Sharmila helps daughter Soha with Bengali dialogues









Having done two Bengali films, Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan still gets her mother, veteran actress, Sharmila Tagore to speak the dialogues for her to get the Bengali accent right.

“I can't speak Bengali at all but I can understand it. It's difficult because I have had to memorise my lines with much more effort. It's a lot more work than required in Hindi and English films,” said Soha.

“I get my mother to say all of my dialogues and I record them and listen to them later to better my accent,” she added.

The actress was seen in Anjan Das's Iti Srikanta and in Rituparno Ghosh's Antar Mahal. She is now doing another Bengali project with Aparna Sen.

“I'm doing Goinar Baksho (The Jewellery Box) with Aparna ji. It's a film that we have been planning to make since a long time and finally the dates and stuff have been decided. I'm really excited, it's a lovely script,” Soha said.

Moss fights with boyfriend over vial of blood








Supermodel Kate Moss had a fight with her boyfriend Jamie Hince when she found out that he had kept a vial of his ex-girlfriend's blood as a memento.

Moss fought with Hince after she found some love letters and the little bottle of blood from Sharin Foo, lead singer of the band Raveonettes, reports thesun.co.uk.

"He was obsessed with Sharin and kept the vial and letters. It wasn't like he used to get them out and read them all the time. He could just never bring himself to throw them away. But now Kate's found them and she's gone through the roof. She has demanded to know why Jamie had all these reminders of a past relationship," said a close friend of Hince.

Those who are close to the couple say that Moss has always been uncomfortable with Foo, who Hince dated in 2004.

"Jamie has always been a romantic, when he falls for someone he's completely engrossed. The Kills used to tour a lot with the Raveonettes and there was an instant spark between Sharin and Jamie. Once they were on the same bill at a gig in London and it was like there was nobody else in the room but Sharin.

"Jamie was up close and deep in discussion with her while everyone else partied afterwards. The pair took to wearing each other's blood in vials around their necks and exchanged romantic notes when they were away on tour. Jamie kept them all."

Adah Sharma shoots in UK for Vikram Bhatt's Phir









Few actresses enjoy the kind of success Adah Sharma saw in her debut film 1920, a horror flick directed by Vikram Bhatt shot extensively in Yorkshire, UK. Touted as the Hindi Film Industry's youngest and cutest faces, she is currently shooting in five degrees back in the UK for her second film titled Phir with co-star Rajneesh Duggal.

The only difference is that this film is not directed by Vikram Bhatt, he is only producing it. The person in the director's chair is going to be Girish Dhamija.

So what is Adah up to in New Castle? The actress on the sets of her latest film, is plowing through jacket potatoes with beans and cheese with a glass of orange juice. "I am a vegetarian and the only food available at this time of the day are jacket potatoes. But because it is so cold here, this dish comes piping hot, and every half an hour I have a glass of hot water as I don't have any tea or coffee. Actually I am now used to all this as I've been in this routine since 1920", she says.

While having her lunch, the actress was touched by a couple of incidents which she witnessed. No wonder she sounded excited, "I love animals and seeing these huge horses is pretty impressive. There was a big fat white cat here who was completely drenched in the rain. So I gave her some milk. Quickly responding to my sweet gesture she came next to my boots and sat down. She even started playing hide-n-seek with me. Every time I tried to find her she used to go behind the car."

Despite her second time in the UK, Adah is taking time to acclimatise. "I've been here for a week and the weather is driving me mad. The day we landed at the airport, it was cold and windy. We've got the majority of our film shoot in New Castle which is up North of England and on our first day of shoot, it rained. One day the temperature is mild, then the next day is sunny and today it's freezing. We had to shoot in one of the castles for four days but that too got delayed."

So is her next film Phir a horror flick too? She laughs and answers "No not again. Don't worry. I won't scare you this time. Phir is a pacy thriller drama but that's all I can reveal as of now."

The unique aspect of Phir seems to be the outfits picked by Vikram Bhatt himself. "Yes, it's true. Vikram sir has done the outfits for the film. He personally shopped for everyone from London. He had a very clear look for Phir in his mind and I am open to trying a new look."

So what's the new look of Adah Sharma going to be like? "My look in the film is really grungy yet very interesting. Loose oversized jackets with skirts and boots. The colour combo also is very unusual. Brown boots, red muffler, purple skirt, violet stockings, grey top and blue-green overcoat".

Thesun.co.uk reports that Prince Abdulla Al-Khalif of Bahrain had signed a deal for an autobiography, two albums and a musical with Jackson. And in return he gave Jackson an 180,000 pound Rolls-Royce.

The sheikh has filed the case in London High Court.

Ghajini could destroy Kinng












Aamir Khan's Ghajini is expected to set a record of sorts. While the promotion of the film kick-started during Diwali, the Indian distributors, Studio 18, have decided to go that extra mile and ensure that biggies rake in big moolah when it opens during the Christmas week. While Singh Is Kinng was released with 1,050 prints in India, Ghajini will have close to 1,200 prints in circulation in India alone.

Explosive: The Ghajini first look

"Ghajini will be the biggest and widest release ever, breaking the record set by Singh Is Kinng, which was also distributed by us," Aman Gill of Domestic Theatrical Distribution, Studio 18 revealed.

Adds Priti Shahani from Marketing & Distribution at Studio 18, "With Singh Is Kinng, we set a precedent in the way the films are marketed and with Ghajini we tend to go beyond that."

Lindsay Lohan says she’s no ‘lesbian’










Lindsay Lohan, who admitted dating Samantha Ronson in September, is reconsidering her relationship with the DJ as she has reportedly said that she’s not a ‘lesbian’.

The 22-year-old singer, who has been with the disc-spinner for nine months, is said to have been furious after her jealous girlfriend ordered her flunkies to clear eager men flocking Lindsay at London’s Dolce club.

“Things are very difficult at the moment. I’m just trying to work out what to do,” News of the World quoted Lindsay as reportedly telling an insider.

The Mean Girls actress, who reportedly had a heated argument with DJ Sam recently, has apparently confided in her friends that she can no longer stand her controlling girlfriend and that she’s not gay.

A close friend said: “Linds is on the brink because Sam won’t leave her side. Whenever she does, Lindsay’s on the phone telling her mates that she’s decided she’s not a lesbian.

“Of course she still has feelings for Sam — but she also feels like she has to escape.”

Gracy Singh hopes to get roles like Rekha, Hema Malini










Bollywood actress Gracy Singh of Lagaan fame says she wants to play a role like veteran actors Rekha and Hema Malini played in hit films Khoobsurat and Seeta Aur Geeta respectively.

“I would love to play a role like Hema ji played in Seeta Aur Geeta and something like what Rekha ji played in Khoobsuratif I am offered such roles ever,” Gracy said.

“I was impressed by their roles and would want to act like them in case I am provided such an opportunity,” she added.

Both Khoobsurat and Seeta Aur Geeta are evergreen comic capers and Rekha and Hema gave outstanding performances in their respective films.

These days, Gracy has been busy promoting her controversial film Deshdrohi, which has been banned in Maharashtra for two months.

Aamir to groove to western beats in Ghajini










Fans of Bollywood star Aamir Khan will be delighted to see the talented actor doing a completely western dance, a la Koi Kahe kehta rahe from the hit Dil Chahta Hai, in his forthcoming film Ghajini.

“It was a task making Aamir dance to a song which was supposed to have western moves. But I was highly impressed to see his classic dance skills,” said choreographer Ahmed Khan.

“It is a great song. It will definitely hit the charts and this is also my best work ever. I'm sure it will beappreciated," he added.

Viewers have already tasted a sample of Aamir's work with the song Guzarish... from “Ghajini” and are appreciating it for its simple yet classy choreography shot in Namibia.

Aamir has teamed with south Indian actress Asin for the film.

Fashion Magazine Verve's collaboration with Dostana

dostanaverve.jpg

These are really the days of collaborations. Latest one being the collaboration between fashion magazine Verve and this season's blockbuster, Dostana. Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama, Parmesh Shahani, Editorial Director- Verve, said, "We wanted to be associated with the films that reflect the spirit of Verve. Not just that, the banner should be a prestigious one and that the placement of our esteemed brand should be with the flow of the film and not just as a mere prop. And Dostana is one such film which fitted our parameters to a 'T'.

The guys at Verve were so impressed with the way the film has shaped up that they have dedicated their November issue to the film and have also named the issue as 'Dostana Special'. Shahani finds immense pride in saying that "We are really very happy to be associated with Dostana, as 'Verve' is at the same wavelength as that of John, Abhishek and Priyanka." The cast of Dostana had even paid a visit to the Verve office to get references for the film.

With Dostana going great guns at the Box-Office, one thing is for sure that the Dostana-Verve association is just the tip of the iceberg!

Pakistan lifts ban on Dostana; the film gets released in Lahore

dostana2.jpg

Till Sunday, while the whole of India couldn't stop rolling with laughter looking at the antics of two on-screen 'self-confessed' homosexuals (read Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham) in the Kjo's Dostana, the Pakistanis were having it otherwise, after the Lahore High Court imposed a ban on the film stating that it has some highly objectionable "gay content", following a writ petition filed by Khuram Khan, who maintained that Dostana promoted gay marriage which is prohibited in Islam and all other religions.

But from today, the Pakistanis too can join their Indian counterparts, with the Lahore High Court lifting the ban and giving a go-ahead for provisional screening in four cinemas of Lahore. All of this came with a clause that the countrywide screening would be allowed only after they get the final and total consent from the Pakistan Film Censor Board.

Hopefully, this Dostana will eventually spread its wings to both the countries as well.

Brad Pitt furious over Aniston's attack on Jolie










Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt is said to be furious over his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston's comments about his present spouse, Angelina Jolie, in a magazine interview.

According to dailymail.co.uk, Pitt, 44, is believed to be angry about Aniston talking about Jolie's decision to spill the beans about falling in love with him during a film shoot while he was still married.

A source close to the Pitt-Jolie camp said that the couple was “totally thrown” by her (Aniston's) remarks, thinking she had “moved on and wouldn't want to reopen this old wound".

However, a columnist Bill Zweckern commented: “One would have to assume Pitt's irritation was due to Aniston's comment that it was 'uncool' Jolie came clean about falling in love with her married co-star in Mr & Mrs Smith. But still, it was Pitt who cheated on Aniston leading to a horribly public split that was clearly humiliating for the popular actress”.

Aniston dresses up as French maid for 30 Rock

Bhatts strike again with the special look of Raaz - The Mystery Continues

Bhatts strike again with the special look of Raaz - The Mystery Continues


raazposter.jpg

Trust Bhatts to continue to be their innovative best when it comes to promoting their films. They may keep the budget on a low/medium end for principal shooting or star remunerations but when it comes to bringing the film to the audience, they have seldom back tracked on any front. Whether it is publicity campaign, song promos on satellite/web/radio medium, poster design or sheer quotable quotes centered on the film's theme, Vishesh Films has made sure that heads always turn when a movie coming from their stable is introduced to the audience.

If the poster design of their recent films like Jannat or Awarapan caught instant attention, one can't forget the romantic 'kiss under a shirt' frame of Aashiqui or 'Sanjay Dutt hanging on a cross' still from Sadak more than a decade and a half back. The trend of shock value continues, typically Bhatt ishtyle, as Raaz - The Mystery Continues' look is revealed. And this time around, Bhatts are on rampage as even before the beginning of the song promos, they are unleashing one poster after another, hence managing to build an intrigue that goes by the name of Raaz - The Mystery Continues.

So if the first ever look of the movie sported an all-new logo in a venomous neon green colour that was designed to distinguish it as an out-and-out horror film, another look showed a backless Kangna Ranaut with Raaz - The Mystery Continues written with blood on her back. Well, if the warning of 'This Winter...Fear Comes Homes' wasn't scary enough, what with Kangna's fingers turning into claws waiting to attack anything that comes her way, comes another poster which introduces Emraan Hashmi for the first time to the audience.

With Kangna's pretty, yet glum looking face (which adds on to the mystery), superimposed into the upper half of the body, Emraan is shown to be standing still in the ruins of what looks like Mukesh Mills reconstructed! What also strikes is the halo behind Emraan's head which seems to give an indication of the full moon night, hence hinting the arrival of the troubled souls.

Says a source attached to Vishesh Films, "With an international appeal to boost, the look of the poster has been kept neon green (yet again) to go with the mood, theme and spirit (pun intended) of the film. Also, with a new hairstyle, a French beard and eyes staring right from the poster, Emraan is made to look all intense with the sole aim of going any distance to solve the 'mystery' which continues from the days of Raaz!"

Director Mohit Suri has been known to explore various themes for each of his films. Zeher, Kalyug, Woh Lamhe and Awarapan are good examples to demonstrate the varied routes that the young film maker has attempted in each of his outings. Well, the way his initial campaign is anything to go by, Raaz - The Mystery Continues should be no different!

We all know that John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan play gays in Dostana! Let’s move on! And while these two actors are busy doing their own thing, it’s Priyanka Chopra who is getting all serious and standing up for gay pride and all. She tells us, “Why should homosexuals be looked down upon or singled out? It’s someone’s individual preference… That’s why I love the fashion industry.

Daniel Craig is ‘downright goofy’, says Liev Schreiber

Daniel Craig, whose Defiance: The Bielski Partisans is set for a release, has been dubbed ‘downright goofy’ by his co-star Liev Schreiber.

Liev, who with Craig and Jamie Bell feature as three Jewish brothers who escape from the Nazis and fight back to rescue fellow Jews, said the blonde Brit Bond is often misbelieved to be serious like his secret agent character, reports China Daily.

Liev told the US TV show Entertainment Tonight, “We had a lot of fun, which was important because what we were doing was really quite sombre.

“Daniel Craig is far more entertaining and just downright goofy than I think most people think he is, and that's a result of that Bond thing he's doing."

The forthcoming war film is based on the true story of the Bielski partisans, covered by author Nechama Tec in the book Defiance: The Bielski Partisans.

Sarah Palin to star in Desperate Housewives?

Desperate Housewives creators are reportedly keen to offer Alaska governor Sarah Palin a part in the show.

Hollywood PR man Hal Lifson, who's not involved with the show, said series creator Marc Cherry is "very hot to trot to have her appear on the season-five finale."

"Marc is highly enamoured of Sarah and sees her as the ultimate guest star [playing] a similar version of herself,” the New York Post quoted Lifson, as saying.

“The idea has gone over surprisingly well with execs at Disney, who see it as a blockbuster based on Sarah's huge ratings on Saturday Night Live," Lifson added.

Cherry declined to comment and an ABC rep said, "There's no truth to it."

Arjun Rampal features in the November issue of MW

arjunrmw.jpg

'The Reinvention of Arjun Rampal' screams the headlines from the latest issue of MW. If the headline was not catchy enough, trust Arjun to do the rest. If we had the option of coining the headline, we would have hit the nail on the head stating 'Arjun Like Never Before...Never Ever After'. Having said so, one must admit that the current issue of MW is a killer, from the word go!

For all those who loved to hate and hated to love the on-screen Arjun 'Mukesh Mehra' Rampal in the blockbuster Om Shanti Om, and thought that this role must have been a cake-walk for the dude, then, here's the real story. It happened on a New Year's Eve, SRK and Farah dragged him into a bathroom and told him about his 'characterless' role in OSO. When Arjun was very skeptical about doing a negative role thinking of the impact it will have on his kids, the omnipresent SRK simply told him "Do this one film for yourself. You'll do plenty for your kids!" Can SRK ever go wrong?

Even the way Arjun bagged his role in Don is quite interesting in itself. Farhan says, "I'd earlier wanted him for a role in Lakshya, but he'd been busy. I'd seen him with his kids on holiday and thought he could draw on that for the character". Though Arjun's was ready to play Pran's role in the new Don "as long as you don't put me in spandex and make me walk the tightrope". Well, the rest...as they is history!

Each and every film of Arjun's is surely a milestone in itself. This also includes the 'cult-and-still-cultivating' landmark film Rock On. Arjun cannot express his joy in words as he says, "One of my most cherished moments after Rock On was when Amitji (the Big B) came and hugged me at the premiere of The Last Lear." All that we would like to ask Arjun is that Amitji hugging you is alright, because both of you are stars! But what about your zillions and counting fans out there, who are hoping to get a 'jaadu ki jhappi' from their Rockstar of Bollywood, Arjun Rampal!

There's surely something about Arjun that takes him places, keeps him in the good books of one and all. You will rarely (read 'never') find him bitching about any co-star or director. No wonder then, filmmakers like Farhan Akhtar, Farah Khan and Rituparno Ghosh are all praises and only praises for this dude with an attitude, an absolute positive one though!

With so much going for Arjun Rampal, all that we can say is Arjun is 'Rocking' Bollywood and seems like he is going to do that for a long time now.

Sexy Aunty Got Nude Offer

Recently we gave you information on a new hot aunty who has been making waves in the Bollywood circuit and already efforts have begun to get her to the south. Now, here is one story that can be remembered for the time to come. We are speaking about the highly seductive Poonam Jhawar and her intoxicating assets that have been causing quite a chaos.

Incidentally, it is heard that Poonam had once got an offer from the famous international magazine Playboy to come up with her nude stills and they were willing to give her an astronomical figure for that but then the hot woman turned it down for the image since that would hurt the sentiments of the Indians.

Now, Poonam is busy trying to get the maximum attention by flaunting her oomph and the voluptuous assets she possesses. The wise men say that if only she had taken up the Playboy offer then life would have been on a completely different track for her. What say Poonam??
