Did Kareena Kapoor oust Priyanka Chopra from ‘Agent Vinod’ song?

Though the makers of the film and the actors in it are tight-lipped about the story, the fact remains that Priyanka Chopra was originally invited to do a traditional mujra in Agent Vinod. Apparently it was Kareena who put her foot down and insisted on doing the ‘item number’ herself instead of letting her long time rival steal any of the thunder

 Agent Vinod is Saif Ali Khan’s baby. The Nawab of Pataudi turned producer because he always wanted to do a film of this scale. This is Saif’s second film as a producer after Love Aaj Kal and the 41-year-old will be romancing real-life love Kareena Kapoor in the film. It’s an open secret that if you produce a movie, it gives you the power to select a star cast of your choice. At least that’s how it works in Bollywood. We heard that the director of the film Sriram Raghavan was keen to have a classical mujra in Agent Vinod and his first choice to do the number was Priyanka Chopra. But when Kareena found out about it – a little birdie told us with much wicked chortling – she was not particularly happy about the director’s choice and influenced producer-beau Saif to picturise the song on hers rather than letting arch-rival PC steal the limelight with her sexy moves.

Raaz 3: Steamy, steamier or steamiest?

Yogen Shah

Shooting for the third part of the franchise has begun and it seems that the makers will indeed make it even more…err…hot than before!

The Bhatts seem to be very confident of the latest installment in the Raaz franchise, one that stars Emraan Hashmi and Bipasha Basu. Though the shoot has just begun, the makers have been heard saying that Raaz 3 will be their biggest money-spinner yet. Going by the shooting stills that our buddy the birdie sent us, it is quite obvious that, if nothing else, the hotness quotient of the film has been upped, thanks to the smoking Bips getting jiggy with the buff Emraan.

Arbaaz Khan: I’m trying to create a new ‘Dabangg’

By IANS
Yogen Shah

Arbaaz Khan, who will be directing the sequel to the National Award-winning Dabangg, speaks about his new film

Actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan, whose debut production Dabangg rocked the box office in 2010, says he is attempting to make its sequel diametrically different from the original. There is going to be no competition between the two, says Arbaaz. “When I did the first one, my intention was to tell a story which I believed in…and was excited about. That is exactly why I am going to take it forward. I have a story to tell but I am not worried about the past,” he said. “With that sincerity and honesty, if I take care of the script I am sure everything will fall in place. I am not competing with the original Dabangg, but I am trying to create another Dabangg,” he added. Click here to read more

Rafeeq Ellias: Chandan Roy Sanyal is a mix of Woody Allen and Charlie Chaplin

By Deboshree Ghosh

Photographer Rafeeq Ellias dons the director’s hat and enters the world of feature films this week with the release of his first movie, Love You To Death

An addition to the new crop of directors, Ellias insists that there’s nothing called a ‘mindless film’, which is why we think he’s had no qualms in coming up with a Hinglish comedy flick that’s nothing less than a roller-coaster ride between Chandan Roy Sanyal and Yuki Ellias- the protagonists. A tête-à-tête with the calm and composed Rafeeq takes us through the creative journey he has embarked on and helps us get a fresh insight into the cluttered place we call Bollywood… Click here to read more

Is Rajesh Khanna ogling at Ameesha Patel?

Veteran Rajesh Khanna has been accused of having a roving eye in the past. And this picture, taken at a recent event, isn’t good news for the yesteryear star’s degenerating image

There was a time when Babu moshai (Rajesh Khanna) would croon a Ye shyam mastani or a Zindagi ek safar and all the girls would go weak in their knees. Things have changed over the years and the yesteryear star is sinking into oblivion with every passing day. We get to see him only occasionally when makes an appearance or two in award functions and events. Click here to read more

AGNEEPATH Movie Review: See it for Hrithik Roshan’s heartfelt performance

By Anupama Chopra

Hrithik convincingly plays superman with an everyman core, but the film disappoints!

There are moments of great power in Agneepath. Debutant director Karan Malhotra, clearly a connoisseur of over-the-top Bollywood drama, piles on thunderous confrontations and punchy dialogues. So when Vijay Dinanath Chauhan gives his full introduction, which includes the name of his village Mandwa, as he knifes a hated adversary, you have no choice but to applaud. There is also some fine acting in Agneepath, notably Hrithik Roshan’s heartfelt performance as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan. Stepping away from the long shadow cast by Amitabh Bachchan’s stylised take in the 1990 original, Hrithik convincingly plays superman with an everyman core. So he isn’t obviously larger-than-life. His eyes have an ache and when he breaks down and weeps, the anguish is palpable. Rishi Kapoor as Vijay’s mentor Rauf Lala also goes bad with panache. Click here to read more
