Shahrukh Khan throws pool party for 'Happy New Year' crew

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy and it seems that
Bollywood's badshah Shahrukh Khan verymuch believes in it. As per
reports SRK organized a pool party for his entire crew amidst the
hectic shooting schedule of his upcoming film Happy New Year, to enjoy
and relax.

According to reports, "Shahrukh Khan threw a pool bash for the entire
crew of his forthcoming flick Happy New Year, where everyone was seen
enjoying and relaxing and making leisure."

It is also reported that entire team of the film including his
beautiful co- actress Deepika Padukone was also seen enjoying there
and she was so in fun mood that she wasted no time and plunged into
the pool.

Happy New Year is the third film where SRK's best friend Farah Khan
will be directing him. In the film once again Deepika Padukone has
been paired opposite Shahrukh after Om Shanti Om and Chennai Express.

Shah Rukh, Deepika's live concert in Dubai

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone
who are currently shooting for Farah
Khan's Happy New Year don't seem to get enough of Dubai. The actors
announced to premiere a live concert in the city recently. Titled as
'Access All Areas', this concert will kick start from December 1
which will be held at the Dubai
International Stadium.

Currently, Shah Rukh and Deepika are
roped in for the concert. However, SRK
claimed that a few other celebrities will
also be a part of it but is yet to reveal
their names.

Karan Johar: Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan are Kids of Dharma House

Karan Johar is known for investing in
relationships, something which has paid
dividends over the years. While his
association with Shahrukh Khan has
stayed on despite stray murmurs around
all not being well between them, Ranbir Kapoor has made a strong
presence in his inner circle as well. On the other hand amongst
leading ladies, it is Kareena Kapoor who has always stayed on to be
Karan's favourite.

Now add Imran Khan in the list who, after I HATE LUV STORYS, would be
seen again in his GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN

'Well, it is like a home grown family set
up,' says Karan, 'To me working with
Imran and Ranbir is like working with a
member of the family. They are kids of
the house and I love them. They are
always there for me and the production house. There is never a moment that I
can't pick up the phone and ask them if
they can do something for me.'

He quickly adds that none of it is taken
for granted though.

'That would be unreasonable, isn't it,' he
quips, 'See, I only ask them for something when it is really
important. In any case, I am grateful to both these kids for
constantly doing fantastic stuff in my films.'

Well, Ranbir has already shown that by
collaborating with Karan on his biggest
money spinner till date YEH JAWAANI HAI
DEEWANI. Now the ball is in Imran's court
to make it count as well.

Sanju Baba To Do SRK's Lungi Dance!

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who is
currently serving his jail term in connection with the the 1993 Bombay
blasts case to perform at ShahRukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer
Chennai Express's Lungi Dance in Mumbai.

As per a leading daily, Sanjay
Dutt and his fellow jail inmates will be soon participating in a play for a
fundraiser programme in Mumbai. It is
said that Sanju baba will be shaking his
leg on Shahrukh Khan-Deepika
Padukone's famous track 'Lungi Dance'
from Chennai Express.

Sanjay has been good friends with both
Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. In fact,
he also liked the song 'Lungi Dance' from
the latter's recent release. A while ago,
we heard that Dutt had written a letter
to the Chennai Express director Rohit Shetty, "thanking him for supporting him
in his time of need."

Sanjay, who surrendered on May 16 2013,
will serve a three and a half years jail
term (out of his five-year sentence). He
will be released from the prison around
November 2016.

Vishal Bhardwaj's Untitled Project To Star Shahid Kapoor

Vishal Bharadwaj will again be seen
directing Shahid Kapoor post Kaminey in
his upcoming untitled project. The movie
is an adaptation of Shakespear's
"Hamlet" and the shooting will take
place in Kashmir. Vishal Bhardwaj promises that the audience will see a
new and unexplored side of the actor.
The duo had earlier worked in Kaminey
which had turned out to be a huge hit.

In an interview with a leading daily,
Vishal said that he has not watched
Shahid Kapoor's latest movies but he has
been told that most of the movies did not
have the scope for the actor to showcase
his talent. Shahid Kapoor's latest movies have all bombed at the box-office and
not appreciated by the critics as well.
Vishal Bhardwaj hopes that his next
movie will change Shahid's fortune. The
film would be Bhardwaj's final movie in
Shakespeare trilogy after he has successfully adapted Macbeth for
Maqbool and Othello for Omkara.

When asked about the movie, Vishal said
"I cannot divulge information about the
project but it would be full of surprises.
We are going to a cast a fresh face
opposite Shahid and have started
auditioning for other actors as well. The shooting is going to take place in
Kashmir and start by the end of this
year." On being asked that why Vishal
likes to shoot his movies in Kashmir, he
said that Kashmir is a beautiful place
and the local people and administration are very helpful and supportive .

Grand Masti collects 40 Cr on its 1st Weekend

The Vivek Oberoi, Ritesh Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani starrer has
done an excellent business at the Indian Box Office in the first
weekend. It has topped domestic collection chart, beating two other
new releases - John Day and Horror Story.

With its promos which soared up the
viewers' curiosity to the sky high, Grand
Masti opened to a thunderous response
with its occupancy ranging between 60%
to 70%+ in the morning and noon shows
on Friday. Some screens were packed to capacity at several centres. The movie
showed escalation in its business in the
later shows. With this, the film became
the fourth biggest opener of 2013 after
Chennai Express, Yeh Jawaani Hai
Deewani and Race 2.

With its business growing considerably,
Grand Masti has collected approximately
Rs 40 crores nett at the Indian Box Office
in the first weekend. Its breakup is Rs
12.50 cr on Fri, Rs 13.50 cr on Sat and Rs
14 cr on Sun. 215.0 million. With the huge success of this adult comedy, it has
become clear that the genre is getting
more and more popular. This film has
beaten the record of previous biggest
opener, an adult comedy Kyaa Super Kool
Hain Hum, which had raked Rs 21.5 crores nett in India in the first weekend.

Shahid paid just Rs. 1.5 lakhs for a film?

While it is heard that young stars take big
fat cheques home with their initial
assignments, such was not the case with
chocolate boy, Shahid Kapoor. The actor
recently revealed that he was paid a
paltry amount for his first film Ishq Vishk on which he managed to survive a few
days.

"This was the time when he was just
trying to find a foothold in the industry,"
informs a source, "He had done a few
commercials and also featured as a
background dancer in Taal. However, he
knew in his heart that he had it in him to be a leading hero. After
giving multiple
auditions and convincing director Ken
Ghosh that he was the right fit for the
film, he bagged Ishq Vishk."

There wasn't much that came his way
from the remuneration perspective
though, something that Shahid can joke
about today after working with the same
production company (TIPS) on Phata
Poster Nikhla Hero.

Says Shahid, "This is the same office
where I would come and wait for hours
together for the payment of my first film.
I was advised to look at opportunities and
not at the money. I used to tell them that
I need the money for my day-to-day living."

He continues revealing "I was paid Rs. 1.5 lakhs for it. That's hardly
any money, but
yes I could survive on it for a few days."

Well, from Rs. 1.5 lakhs to several crores
that he gets for his films today, one can
well say that Shahid has come a long way
in the decade gone by.

Ranveer Singh Follows Deepika Padukone To Dubai!

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram
Leela shooting has finally got over.
Hence, it is quite obvious that the film's
lead cast Ranveer Singh and Deepika
Padukone doesn't get much opportunity
to see each other these days. As we hear, Ranveer is not really able
to cope up with this distance, and has reportedly
followed his alleged ladylove Deepika
Padukone in Dubai, in order to meet her
once.

Believe it or not, there's certainly
something beyond friendship between
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone,
who reportedly got close to each other
while filming for Bhansali's Ram Leela.
What we get to learn from a leading daily's report, is that Ranveer who was
recently in South Africa, dropped in
Dubai, in order to meet his rumoured
sweetheart Deepika.

Shahrukh and Deepika are currently
shooting for the movie Happy New Year
in Dubai, hence Ranveer thought of
surprising the actress on her movie sets.
This isn't the first time that Singh has
made a surprise visit at Dippy's movie sets. The actor had earlier
paid a visit on
the sets of Chennai Express.

We wonder what's actually brewing
between these two young celebrity
hearts. Though both Ranveer and Dippy
have time and again refrained from
coming clean on their rumoured affair,
their fondness for each other is certainly increasing day to day.

Bigg Boss 7 begins

Bigg Boss 7 kick starts at 9 pm on Sunday with Salman Khan hosting the
show and contestants one by entering the house. The inauguration day
will see Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and the team of Comedy Nights
With Kapil adding glamour on the show.

However, the house of Bigg Boss, as per the theme, has been divided
into two sections – Heaven and Hell. Built in the area of 10,500 sq
feet, the Bigg Boss 7 house will depict the goodness of Heaven and
wickedness of Hell.

Designer Omung Kumar designed the house according to the theme. He
said, "The theme of the show is based on heaven and hell and the
challenge given to me was to create two extreme conditions under the
same roof. Following the brief, we created two different houses
illustrating Jannat and Jahannum. We have played around with colors,
patterns and have introduced quirky elements to justify heaven and
hell."

What the new the Bigg Boss house has this season?
Heaven
For the very first time in the history of Bigg Boss, the house
provides contestant with a clock in the living room. The ceiling of
the house, in one part, will be dome shaped to give a feel of the
heaven. Walls of the house will witness crazy writings on it.

Hell
Meanwhile the other part of the house will see beddings on floors as
there would be no comfort provided to the participants living in that
area. Even the food will be cooked on ground as there would be no
kitchen in that area. Even the loo in this part of the area will have
the Indian seat with a tap planted for manual water system.
