Bold Posters from PoonamPandey's Nasha burned in Mumbai

Model-turned actress Poonam Pandey,
who has always been in the news for her
publicity gimmicks, is once again in the
midst of a new controversy.

Poonam Pandey's bold posters from her
debut Bollywood movie Nasha has
angered the people of Mahim area in
Mumbai. A group of protestors tore the
intimate posters and set them on fire on
July 20.

In a similar incident, on July 19, the
residents of Seemapuri in northwest
Delhi too burned the posters of the bold
film and further went to the local police
station to complain about these posters.

According to reports, Poonam Pandey is
shocked to hear about the incident and
has said that she is ready to apologise if
the people felt offended in any way.

The former Kingfisher calender girl, who
aspires to be in the same league as
Bollywood actresses Rekha, Madhuri Dixit
and Kajol, said she has high hopes from
Nasha.

Besides some intimate scenes, the film
has a lot to offer which will be liked by
the audience, she said. According to her,
she chose this film as it has given her an
opportunity to exhibit her acting talent.

She said people want to see her the way
she looks on the screen and one should
not have any problem in it. "I am doing a
social service by wearing less cloths as
people enjoy a lot by watching me in
these dresses."

The film, which marks Poonam's
Bollywood debut, will hit screens on July
26. (With PTI inputs)

Akshay Kumar's Boss to feature biggest club song

Akshay Kumar is all set to take his
forthcoming film Boss to the next level.

The film will feature a club song, titled
'Party All Night', which is touted to be the
biggest club song of the year and the
producers are sparing no efforts to make
it a chartbuster.

The song will feature Akshay Kumar and
the Sonakshi Sinha with the added
attraction of Yo Yo Honey Singh as he is a
part of this song.

Party All Night, will again bring the hit
on- screen jodi of Akshay and Sonakshi
together after Rowdy Rathore and Once
Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobaara.

Reportedly, Akshay will be working with
song director Sumit Dutt who has given
Salman Khan's blockbuster hits like
Dhinkachika, Character Dheela, Desi Beat
and many others.

While Sumit Dutt will direct the song, ace
choreographer Raju Khan will be doing
the choreography. The shooting of the
first part of the song is over and was shot
in one of the suburban properties in
Mumbai while the other half is scheduled to be shot in Bangkok next month. Buzz
is that a mammoth crowd of over 600
dancers and junior artistes will be a part
of it. A source close to the team said, "In the
film, the song comes at a very integral
point, which is why Akshay wants to
make it his biggest and best song to
date. Akshay is wearing a leading
international designer's costume."

The song has been designed as the
ultimate club number of 2013. It is the
first full, all-out dance number that
Akshay has done in years. This is his
return to hardcore dancing. Produced by
Viacom 18, Cape of Good Films and Ashwin Varde Productions, Boss is

Bad not a biopic on Charles Sobhraj: Director

Director Prawaal Raman has dismissed
rumours that his film Bad, produced by
Pooja Bhatt, is based on the life and
times of notorious criminal Charles
Sobhraj.

The film is said to be based on the 'Bikini
Killer' Charles Sobhraj's sensational
jailbreak from the Tihar prison in 1986.

"Our film is not a biopic, it is a fictional
story. It is not on Charles Sobhraj, it is the
story of a police officer named Amod
Kanth and how he dealt with a jail break
case. The film has nothing to do with
Charles Sobhraj," director Prawaal Raman told PTI.

The film revolves around how an inmate
escapes from a high security jail and how
a police officer deals with the case.

However, it draws similarities with
Charles Sobhraj case as he had managed
to escape from Delhi's high-security Tihar
jail in 1986. Former Delhi police officer
Amod Kanth was handling the case at
that time.

"The film is about interpersonal
relationship of good and bad. It focuses
on police officer Amod Kanth's case of
jail break," Raman said.

Actor Adil Hussain essays Amod Kanth's
role while Randeep Hooda plays the role
of a criminal and Richa Chadha plays
Randeep's love interest in the film. Meanwhile, director Raman, of Darna
Mana Hai fame, has alleged that his crew
faced trouble during the shooting of the
movie inside Udaipur Collectorate.

"It is a shocking incident that our
producer and unit members were abused
despite having the necessary permission
to shoot inside the premises," Raman
said.

Producer Pooja Bhatt spoke to the higher
authorities and the matter was sorted
out and now the makers can shoot at the
same location. The film will also be shot
in Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Manali and
Thailand.

Almost 40 per cent of the film is
completed and the makers intend to
release it early next year.

Sonam and Kareena Kapoor to work together?

Two of Bollywood's fashionista's Sonam
Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor might be
seen together – not in a movie but for an
endorsement.

While, Raanjhanaa girl Sonam Kapoor
was roped in as the brand ambassador of
a toothpaste brand along with ace
designer Manish Malhotra, in April this
year, reportedly, trendsetter Kareena
Kapoor too has been signed for the endorsements of the same brand.

Kareena and Sonam have been bonding
very well offscreen at several parties and
this could be a chance to see the two
pretty Kapoor girls together onscreen. The official announcement of the same is
being awaited.

Prakash Raj wants to direct Bollywood film

Actor Prakash Raj, known for his villainous roles in films such as
Wanted, Singham, Dabangg 2 and Policegiri, says he wants to direct a
Hindi film.

Prakash, who primarily started his career
with southern films, has also produced and
directed several films there.

"I want to direct a Hindi film. There is a
plan...News will roll in as it happens. As of
now, I don't want to say anything on it,"
said Prakash.

Till now, he has essayed the role of the
baddie with elan in Bollywood and is happy
with the way his career is shaping up.

"There are lot of heroes and villains in films
today with lot of action films coming up. So
I have got a place here," said Prakash.

"I am looking forward to the remake
version ofZanjeer where I am playing the role of Teja, a gang-leader. It is a
wonderful role and I hope people will like
me in that avatar," he said.

The original role was played by Ajit in the
1973 blockbuster.

Prakash, 48, portrayed a strict Army officer
in the recently-released Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

"It is a refreshing change to play a role like
this. It is rare to get such a role and film
like this. This is a film where you are not an
actor, you are part of the film, you are part
of that moment," he said.

"This is a learning and humbling
experience. Here we unlearn a lot of
things. The joy is that these kind of films
bring you lot of respect as an actor," he
added.

Now choreographer Ganesh Acharya to direct dance film

Choreographer Ganesh Acharya is planning to make an original dance film
which he says will be different from his
Bollywood colleague Remo D'Souza's Any Body Can Dance (ABCD) released
earlier this year.

Acharya has directed films such as Swami (2007), Money Hai to Honey
Hai (2008) and Angel (2011) based on vivid themes.

"I am planning to make a dance film next
year. It will be original and different from
ABCD. I am going to make a completely
different film," said Acharya.

He also said that the film will not be made
in 3D.

ABCD, a 3D dance film directed and
choreographed by choreographer Remo
D'Souza, cast Prabhudeva and Acharya in
key roles.

Acharya said he has some interesting
projects such as Aamir Khan's Peekay, Saif Ali Khan's Bullett Raja and
Indra Kumar's Grand Masti to choreograph.

Acharya choreographed Maston ka jhund and other songs in the recently
released Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, a biopic of sprinter Milkha Singh
featuring Farhan Akhtar and
Sonam Kapoor.

"I had worked with Rakeysh Omprakash
Mehra in Rang De Basanti. He asked me to do this film. There were some
challenges
as we had to do it (dance moves) with few
military people," he said.

RJ Mantra eliminated from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6

RJ Manta is the latest contestant to get
evicted from the dance based reality
show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa after his two-
week long stint.

Mantra, 31, who entered the show as a
wild card contestant, said he is sad that
he could get much chance to show his
talent.

"My eviction came too early. I didn't
even get chance to showcase my talent.
I didn't expect it at all. Dance and music
are an integral part of my life. No one
can judge me on the basis of just one
performnace," Mantra told PTI.

Though Mantra impressed judges Madhuri
Dixit, Karan Johar and Remo D'Souza
with his first performance but could not
strike the chord with the audience
through his other performance.

Mantra, who acted in films like Tum Mile,
Game and Bheja Fry 2, is all geared up for
his debut lead film Dil Patang which will
hit theatres this year.

"I feel my stint in the show will help me
and my film to gain popularity. Dil
Patang is a romantic thriller set on the
backdrop of terrorism. The film has been
shot in old Delhi," he said.

remake of Khubsoorat.

An official remake of 1980 classic comedy
is being produced by Sonam Kapoor's sister
Rhea, and will be directed by Shashanka

work out the dates and other things. I

Hrishikesh Mukherjee and starred Rekha,
the late Ashok Kumar, Dina Pathak and
Rakesh Roshan.

Sonam would be reprising Rekha's role.

strong role," Prosenjit said.

Shruti replaces Tamannaah?

She's broken the jinx and
how! From being tagged
as the 'lady with the iron
leg' to being celebrated as 'the golden leg' of South cinema, Shruti
Haasan is Lady Luck's blue-eyed girl.
Apart from breaking her unlucky streak
in Tollywood, Shruti's Bollywood career
too is looking up, thanks to the rave
reviews her latest film, is receiving. Meanwhile, the unforgiving and
superstitious industry is sure keeping a
close watch at the latest developments.

Jumping on the Shruti Haasan-lucky-
charm-bandwagon is none other than
filmmaker Krish. If latest buzz is to be
taken into account, the filmmaker has
reportedly replaced actor Tamannaah
with Shruti in his Bollywood directorial debut starring Akshay Kumar. The film,
which is a remake of the Telugu movie
Tagore, starring Chiranjeevi, focuses on
the fight against corruption and is being
produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. "Talks
are on between the production house and the actor. The makers are looking for an
alternative to Tamannaah. But nothing
has been confirmed as of now," says a
source close to the production house.

Rohit Shetty talks about his life and Chennai Express !

Rohit Shetty, the Indian film director,
cinematographer and sometimes an
actor is one person who is in the wish
list of all the A-list actors these days.
However, many of you would not
know the ups and downs this star faced before reaching the pinnacle.

His first hit Golmaal became a huge
success and did a great business at the
box office. The film was applauded
not only by the audiences but the
critics too. Since then, Rohit Shetty
performed even better with blockbusters like Golmaal Returns, All
The Best: Fun Begins, Golmaal 3,
Singham and Bol Bachchan. Now, with
Chennai Express lined up and an
expected blockbuster, Rohit Shetty
shares his life's initial phase and some beautiful memories of Chennai
Express and his tuning with the actors
Shahrukh Khan and Deepika
Padukone.

Now that Rohit Shetty has completed
almost a decade in the industry, he
has become the most sought after
director in the industry who has
delivered best of action, comedy, car
blowing scenes. Now, the actor is ready to try his hands in romantic
films too. Here are some excerpts
from the candid conversation.

You have hit the 10-year mark in Hindi films. How does it feel to
complete a decade as a director?

Really? 10 years? I had no idea. It's
been a good journey. When I look
back at the directors that started out
at the same time I did, I feel very
fortunate. You have to be fortunate to
work with the right people and luck also must favour you. It's a
combination of many things.

You had a shaky beginning but once you delivered a hit, there was no
looking back.

Yes, but that's the unpredictability of
our industry. And it's the same today.
One film goes wrong and you're back
where you started 10 years ago. Two
films go wrong and that sets you back
20 years. But that's the fun part of our industry.

What was the turning point in your career? Was it Golmaal?

Yes, Golmaal, for sure. We had no idea
whether the film would do well or
not. We were all quite apprehensive.
For us, it was like Ajay (Devgn) doing
comedy. Tusshar's over-the-top
character was a big risk but thankfully it all worked out.

Everyone is talking about Chennai Express. How did that movie happen?

Chennai Express was an accident.
Shah Rukh (Khan) watched Golmaal
and told me he really liked it. We
happened to be shooting at the same
studio at the time and we met. I was
planning to remake Angoor. So I narrated the basic idea to him. I said I
would write the script, get back to
him and let him take a call.

But after writing the film, I thought
we needed a larger canvas for
someone like Shah Rukh and myself to
work on together. The script of
Chennai Express was already with us,
so we started working on that film, keeping Shah Rukh in mind. When I
approached Shah Rukh again, I
thought he would kick me out and
consider me a mad man. But I had
gathered the courage to tell him that I
planned to make this film, not Angoor.
He said he wanted me to work on a film that would make me happy and if
I thought that it should be Chennai
Express, then so be it. I narrated the
script to him and he loved it and he
produced it happily.

According to Shah Rukh Khan, you have a unique way of narrating your scripts.

I have a team of jokers including
myself and we put up a three-hour
circus in front of actors and
technicians! I am not against an actor
reading a script but when he reads a
script, it's like a novel and he becomes the director, he visualises
the film. But
when a script has to be narrated, it
has to be narrated with the director's
vision. If an actor has visualised something,
the director can correct him, saying
'no I have something else in mind'.
And the whole scenario and film can
change. The whole approach of a film
can change. I think an actor can read a script but it is very important for a
director and his writers to narrate a
script to an actor.

What was it like to work with Shah Rukh Khan?

It was great. I am sad the film is over.
Shah Rukh is a great guy. When you
complete a film, you usually feel, 'Oh!
At last the film is over!' But not with
this one. We will soon be working
together again. Either Shah Rukh will produce the film or act in it. When he
is on the sets, there is so much joy all
around. He is a very good captain and
motivates the entire team. He knows
just how to draw the best out of
everyone.

As a producer, was he very helpful?

He had faith in me and told me to
make the film exactly as I pleased. He
said, 'Forget about the budget, just
make the film.' He is a great producer.

Was he punctual?

(Laughs) He was, always. He has even
shot with me at four in the morning.
We have travelled at five o'clock in
the morning, which was a surprise.
When an actor has worked in the
industry for a long time, they develop a routine and you have to adjust to
that routine. It was fun working with
him.

5 Best Performances of Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif, the first-rate actress in
the B-town these days is the actress
who has tried her hands from
romantic to comedy to even action
films. And of course, the damsel has
been successful in al the genres.

Katrina Kaif debuted in Bollywood
with 'Boom'. The film couldn't get
appreciation from the audiences
though. Then came a role that best
suited Kaif. The chirpy, light-hearted
and vivacious Jasmeet(Jazz) Malhotra is a character that was best
performed by Katrina. No one in the
industry can replaces her there. Then
came some super successful films like
Partner, Welcome, Race, Singh Is King,
Raajneeti, ZNMD, Bodyguard and the latest Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

Katrina Kaif has already entered the
100 Cr club of Bollywood. She has
received many awards for her
performances in films.

Lets have a look at some of the best
performances of the actress here.

1. Namastey London : This romantic comedy film is produced and directed
by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. Katrina Kaif
(Jazz) is paired opposite Khiladi
Akshay Kumar. Namastey London
opened to a good response and
received a positive review from the critics. Exclusively Katrina's
performance was applauded.

2. Raajneeti : Doing a role in an Indian political thriller film and that too
directed by Prakash Jha, is not an easy
job. But, Katrina Kaif managed to do
that with dignity. Apart from Katrina,
Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal were
in the major roles in the movie. Rajneeti was declared blockbuster by
Box Office India.

3. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara : Produced by Farhan Akhtar and
directed by Zoya Akhtar, ZNMD is
about three childhood friends who set
off to Spain on a bachelor trip and
meet Laila (Katrina). Katrina's
character stands out here to be an inspiring, refreshing and sparkling
person.

4. Ek Tha Tiger : 'Ek Tha Tiger' is a Yash Raj Production and directed by
Kabir Khan. The film is about an
Indian spy code-named Tiger who
falls in love with a Pakistani spy
(Katrina) during an investigation and
how Tiger's ideology and principles change over time. In the movie,
Katrina did some awesome stunts
herself and thus has become the
action heroine of the B-Town too.

5. Jab Tak Hai Jaan : This film has been very special in the film industry
as this is Yash Chopra's last film. The
film also features features Shahrukh
Khan and Anushka Sharma in lead
roles. This is the first time that SRK
and Katrina Kaif are working together. The film again entered the
100 Cr club and was declared a
blockbuster.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: 2nd Saturday Box Office Collections

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is incurring good income at the domestic box office even
on its 2nd weekend. The film which in its
1st week made a total of 53.70 crores collected 4 crores on its 2nd
Friday and on its 2nd Saturday, the film earned 5.30 crores. With that
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag's total earnings has snowballed to 63 crores so
far.

The film is a perfect tribute to the living
legend Milkha Singh, who rose to fame in
the world sports despite coming from a
scarred background of pain and trauma.
Farhan Akhtar's portrayal of the titular
figure is overwhelming and gaining praises from all and sundry which
is Bhaag Milkha Bhaag's highlight point.

John Abraham's 'Madras Cafe' gets U/A certificate

Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar is
relieved after his 'Madras Cafe' got a
clearance from the censor board with a
U/A certificate.

Sircar told IANS: "When I was making
'Vicky Donor', I was very worried about
the censors. I thought, it's a film that
deals with sperms, which will get it an
A-certificate, but thank god things went
well."

'Vicky Donor', which was actor John
Abraham's maiden production venture,
released with a U/A certificate and the
audiences liked the film so much that the
Rs.5 crore project earned Rs.45 crore at
the box office.

"The film didn't look vulgar and sent
across the message perfectly. Luckily, my
next film 'Madras Cafe', which has so
much of action has got a clean nod from
the censors and has got a U/A
certificate," said the director.

'Madras Cafe', a political-thriller, deals
with terrorism and civil war and was
reportedly shot in Sri Lanka and India.
Sircar requested the audience's
indulgence for enjoying the sequence of
events in his forthcoming offering.

He said: "I would request the audience
not to leave their brains at home. Get
your brains and do a bit of research
before you come to watch the film."

Featuring John, who has also produced
the film, and Nargis Fakhiri, the film is
slated to be released on August 23.

D Day: 1st Saturday Box Office Collections

especially in the multiplex zones and
urban centers. The film on its 1st
Saturday collected an estimated amount
of 5 crores. The film's total collections now stands at 7.90 crores at
the domestic box office.

With stellar performances from Rishi
Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and mostly Irrfan,
this Nikhil Advani film has upped the
man's caliber that saw a lag in the last
few years as his films failed to be
magical at the box office. With mostly positive reviews from critics,
there is an
overwhelming positive word of mouth
for D-Day.

Divya Dutta ready for item number

Critically acclaimed actress Divya Dutta, who has been amassing praise
galore for her act in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, is now ready to groove to an
"unconventional" item number in an
upcoming film.

Divya is going to perfect her moves for an
item song, the details of which have been
kept under wraps.

Excited about doing her first item song,
Divya said in a statement: "This is certainly
something I haven't done before. I agreed
to do an item song only because I know it's
not going to be a conventional one."

Going by the actress' past work in films like Veer-Zaara and Delhi-6,
one can guess Divya will add her magical touch to the
dance number too.

Sonakshi to shed her clothes for an item song

Actor Sonakshi Sinha, who is currently
riding high on the success of her
recent release 'Lootera'. We have
mostly seen the actress wearing suits
and saris. But for the First time
Sonakshi will shed her sari clad avatar and will be donning a slinky costume
for her upcoming item song.

Insiders say in her upcoming item
number in Akshay Kumar's next, Sona
is expected to send the mercury rising
by a slinky short dress.A source says, "Sonakshi will be at her seductive
best."

It was quite unforeseen if we think of
Sonakshi's image. However, now the
curvaceous beauty is set to turn into a
full-time item girl as she is set to
shake her leg in coming super sexy
song. Apparently it was Akshay who convinced Sona to go bold, he said
"In spite of her having had
reservation about her
appearances in the past, she
signed up for it. She felt it would
be a good get-away from her
regular desi image."

The music track will also feature
Prabhudheva and Tanya Ghavri will
design costume for Sonakshi. We hope
you succeed in breaking your image
with this song.

She is currently filming for 'Bullet Raja'
with Saif Ali Khan and AR Murugadoss'
'Thuppakki' Remake with Akshay
Kumar. Later she will later start
filming for Prabhudeva's "Rambo
Rajkumar" with co-star Shahid Kapoor.

Mukesh Khanna: Daily soaps are not my cup of tea

Actor Mukesh Khanna, who is currently seen as Nanu Purushottam
Deewan in the TV show Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara,
says daily soaps aren't his cup of tea, and so, this
show may turn out to be his first and last.

"These serials and the daily soap
atmosphere is not my cup of tea. I've
devoted one year of my life to the daily
soap, but not more than that. That's why
this Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara is my first
family-based daily soap and may be last also," said the
veteran actor.

"Now you may not see me anymore as dada, kaka, chacha or nana because
I don't like all this. I got the offer from other
channels, also but I said no. I've done this
(show) for almost one and half years, it's a
big thing," he added.

Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara
Pyaara, produced by Rajshri Productions, went on air on Star Plus in
June 2012. It
features Nakuul Mehta and Disha Parmar
as the lead pair.

Mukesh, who is best remembered for his
roles as Bhishma Pitamah and Shaktimaan, also opened up about he has
lost interest
in daily soap.

"Somewhere gradually I felt that this (daily
soaps) is not my cup of tea...to come here
and shoot among the women wearing jhumkas and bindis... I started
losing interest gradually. Though I did it, but I
was feeling that now I can't do more than
this," the 55 year-old said.

His exit sequence will be shot in a
"graceful" way, he saud. "The makers want to show my graceful
exit. I (My character) will die peacefully in
the show. Nobody in the family will come
to know of my death. I will die at night
listening to the gramophone," he added.

Bajatey Raho passed with U/A certificate

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has passed director
Shashant Shah's revenge comedyBajatey Raho with a U/A certificate,
without suggesting any cuts.

The film showcases the youth's way of
dealing with con against con in order to
