Aamir, Imran to act together?

Finally, the extremely finicky Aamir Khan may have agreed to act in Reema Kagti’s next, film, but a little birdie tells us that Aamir is very keen to remake a hit — Yaadon Ki Baarat —that was made by his dad, the late Tahir Hussain. The film is considered to be cult classic and a big hit of its times.

Our source said, “Yaadon Ki Baarat holds a special place in Aamir’s heart. He made a brief appearance in this film as a child artiste.” Apparently, Aamir wants to play Dharmendra’s role. “He wants to rope in nephew Imran Khan to play the role of the younger brother.”

This will be a casting coup of sorts as maama-bhanja have yet to do a movie together. And one with hit songs like Chura Liya starring these two is bound to find a huge audience.

Sanjay Dutt says no to Mallika

Ever since Manyata has come into his life, Sanjay Dutt we hear, has been particular about his roles and the actors and directors he works with. The latest is that Sanjay Dutt has drawn the line when it comes to working with some actresses and one of them is Mallika Sherawat.

Sources inform that when director Anil Garg who has worked as an assistant for movies like Pyar Tune Kya Kiya and Road wanted to make his debut as a director, he approached Dutt with the script of the remake of Amrapali, a hit from the 60s. Sanjay wanted to know who the leading lady would be. Garg said it was likely to be Mallika Sherawat. But Sanjay told him to talk to another heroine. Strangely, Sanjay is working with Mallika in Indra Kumar’s sequel to Dhamaal, but there are hardly any scenes with the two of them together it is heard.

Veena drops towel on camera

Salman Khan show Bigg Boss 4 is courting a huge chunk of headlines these days for the amount of eyebrows it is managing to raise. While we saw some uninhibited love stories culminating between Ashmit Patel and Sara Khan/ Veena Malik and between Veena and Hrishant, the buzz is that Veena has now suffered a wardrobe malfunction.

If Futuristic Media network is to be believed then it would appear that the Pakistani contestant Veena Malik dropped her towel and even her top slipped off leaving her stark naked for close to 10 seconds before she managed to pull her garments back.

Veena is known for her affinity towards glamour, make up and costumes and it was during one costume-changing session that her towel and her top slipped off leaving her garment-free right before the preying eyes of the camera. However, the male voyeurs won’t be able to relish on those images since such clips are censored by the bosses before being shown on national television.

Deepika blasts Ranbir and Katrina!

Deepika is fuming with anger at Ranbir Kapoor: The latest buzz in tinsel ville is that Deepika Padukone is very angry with her ex Ranbir Kapoor.

Although she may look calm, composed and cheerful externally, on a recent episode of a talk show with Karan Johar, when asked what would she gift Ranbir, she apparently replied “a packet of condoms”.

The next question was about Ranbir’s newly found close friend Katrina. Karan asked him what does she feel about Katrina and Deepika reportedly stated “I would like to see her passport.”

God knows what was she actually hinting at.

Shilpa's take on inviting Akshay

 Asks a defiant Shilpa Shetty Kundra when asked why neighbour and ex Akshay Kumar and his wife Twinkle weren't invited to their bash

Shilpa Shetty Kundra is irritated with queries of why ex Akshay Kumar and his wife Twinkle were not invited to her house warming party on November 5.

The actress invited the who's who of the film industry to her Juhu bungalow for a casino-style party on Diwali.

he Kumars, who live a 100 yards away from her house, had their own party a day before her party, and the Kundras were not invited to that.

The actress asks, "People keep asking me why I don't invite Akshay and Twinkle to my parties, but I would like to ask why they don't invite Raj and me to theirs?

They had a Diwali party a day ahead of me but no one asked them why they didn't invite Raj and me. Why should I invite them to our home, then? It's not as if I want them to invite us.

Akshay and I have moved on with our respective partners and there's nothing in common between us anymore."  To be fair, unlike Shilpa's bash, AK's bash was a private party with select guests.

Not in close circle

Shilpa says, "I invite people who are close to me and he doesn't feature in my circle of close friends anymore. Why is my guest list always paid so much attention to?

Friends are people we have a relationship with even if it means socially and Akshay and I have none whatsoever. They are nice people and I wish them well."

She makes it clear that they are not friends anymore but wishes him well, "He's a wonderful man and I can say for sure that he is very happy for me as I am for him with our respective partners.
 
We have our respective lives, so I request people to stop thinking so much about this, because I am too busy immersed in my life to think of such inconsequential things.

I recently inaugurated another spa,and I am busy with that and my other work."

Friends with the sis

Interestingly, even after her break up with the Khiladi, Shilpa has remained close to his sister Alka.

The star's sister was invited to Kundra's bash, and she partied there till the wee hours. Says Shilpa, "I did invite Akshay's sister whom I am very close to and she came to the party.

Alka and I have always remained close and stayed in touch. Our friendship has remained unchanged over the years."

According to the buzz, Raj doesn't want his biwi to be associated with her past and apparently during his baraat last year, he'd given strict instructions to the bandwallas not to play any songs from the actor's films.
 
Shilpa laughs, "Raj is much too classy to ever do something like that! Why should he mind? He isn't the sort to behave in a crass or weird way. He's too secure and confident as a person."

Breaking the Ice
Says a source, "Until recently Twinkle and Shilpa wouldn't talk to each other at social events - not even greet each other.

But now after her wedding, when they met each other at Maheep Kapoor's jewellery launch, the star wife broke the ice by congratulating the actress on her wedding.

Thereafter Akki's past and present came face-to-face at designer Shabina Khan's birthday a month ago and they exchanged hellos." 

Obama unites SRK, Salman

Salman, still riding high on the success of Dabangg, could not resist a wisecrack that would have done Chulbul Pandey proud. "U think Mr. Rajnikanth will give Obama his darshan???" he asked his fans on the micro blogging site. In his tweet, Shah Rukh made a reference to his character Rizwan in the film My Name is Khan who is determined to meet the American President, even if it means undertaking an epic journey to do so. "American president is in India. If I had known wouldn't have gone looking for him all over America instead met him in Andheri or Ghatkopar," he tweeted.

Besides the Khans, other Bollywood stars also took note of Obama's visit to the country. "Mr. Obama come at least once a year. Roads were less bumpy. So things can happen if Government wishes," Anupam Kher, wrote on his Twitter account.

Preity Zinta also seems to be following the President's Asia tour closely. This is what she had to say about Obama's visit to Indonesia, "Good Morning! Just heard Obamas speech in Jakarta. Wow ! He really is inspiring ! An amazing effort to bridge issues with the muslim world !". Earlier the actress had tweeted, "Airport today had too much security & few passengers. I hear President Obama arrives today. I'm sure he will fall in love with India :-)."

On a more serious note, actor Rahul Bose asked his followers on Twitter, "Vintage obama in parliament. Warm, scholarly, empathetic. The burma reprimand to india was deserved, but from america? Hmm. Any thoughts?"

Hrithik gets erotic massage from Aishwarya

We have erotic and semi-erotic love-making sequences in films. But ever heard of a funny-erotic sequence? In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Bachchan, who have done brilliant and aesthetic love scenes in Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar, had to do the toughest erotic sequence of their careers.

Aishwarya had to give Hrithik a languorous foot massage while he had to gradually let out sounds of immense pleasure and ecstasy. At some point during the slow-and-steady sequence, Aishwarya

to had to let out sounds of pleasure herself.

And if you think there was any awkwardness between Mrs. Bachchan and Mr. Roshan in performing this erotic sequence, then think again. The two co-stars whooped with laughter all through the rehearsals and even during the final take. Since Hrithik's character cannot feel a thing below the neck, the whole exercise shows the two characters pretending to be in the throes of ecstasy.

Laughs Sanjay Leela Bhansali, "How can my hero, who feels everything from neck up and absolutely nothing from neck down make love with his nurse? He can only pretend. Hrithik has no love scene with Aishwarya. The so-called love-making sequence is actually savagely funny take on a very poignant predicament of a man who cannot feel the things that normal people do.

“Although his limbs are senseless, his nurse gives him a foot massage to keep the blood circulations going. And that's when the whole mock-ecstasy scene happens. I must say Aishwarya and Hrithik gave a whole new definition to 'faking it' in this sequence. Bahut masti wali scene hai. But the underlying tragedy of a man, who will never actually experience what he's pretending to, has also been brought out."

It isn't every day that a co-star gets a foot massage from the super-diva Aishwarya. Apparently, Hrithik was in full prankish mode for the sequence, probably to make sure there was no awkwardness with his co-star when they performed the oddball sequence.

Sanjay can't get over how diligently Hrithik worked over his paraplegic's body language in Guzaarish. "Hrithik actually allowed his body to go completely numb below his neck. His performance is comparable with Daniel Day-Lewis' part as a paraplegic in My Two Left Feet...No, in fact, better. His character can't make love. But he make us feel his longing for physical passion."

Jacqueline in Mallika’s shoes

From what we hear, hottie Mallika Sherawat will be replaced by Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandes in the sequel to Murder. The movie is expected to be far more intense and dramatic than the first one and according to sources, Jacqueline will be seen in super hot outfits, outdoing those worn by Mallika. 

Apparently, the producers approached several actresses, all of whom had issues with doing the movie. Fernandes, on the other hand, instantly agreed and from what we hear, finds the story very exciting. We can’t wait to see how she looks like in the film.

Bips wants to play Draupadi

The Hot Bollywood Diva Bipasha Basu is now keen to play mythological character Draupadi.

“I would love to play the character of Draupadi. In fact, I got an offer but right now it’s hanging in the air somewhere. I think it’s a very dynamic mythological character and I think I’ll do it well,” Bipasha said .

Rituparno Ghosh describes his character of Draupadi as a mixture of B.R. Chopra's Mahabharat and Peter Brooks' take on the Hindu epic.

He says  "Draupadi has a huge canvas We can't possibly show her whole life. It's the Mahabharat seen from Draupadi's point of view. It would be very intimate, womanist and minimalist...I think B.R. Chopra did a great job of familiarizing the nation with the Mahabharat. Now everyone know who's who in the epic, so my job is made easier."

In the epic Mahabharata, Draupadi was the daughter of King Drupada, and became wife of the five Pandava brothers.
