Was John Abraham two-timing Bipasha Basu?
There are strong rumours that John Abraham met his current beau during the last few months of his relationship with Bipasha Basu. And his philandering ways was a prime reason for the breakup
John Abraham was recently spotted with his new girlfriend Priya Runchal at a public do, which set many tongues wagging and opened up a can of worms. Since the Desi Boyz actor didn’t take too long to find a new beau and indirectly expressed that he is ready for marriage, gossipmongers believe there is more than the fear of commitment for John breaking up with his girlfriend of eight years, Bipasha Basu. Insiders say that the dishy dude met Priya a little before he called it quits with Bips and the prime reason behind the split is supposed to be John’s two-timing attitude.

Nagesh Kukunoor’s film is so bad that it makes brainless comedies like Rascals look good
Mod is one of those rare films which are filled with so many flaws and glitches that you may just not know where to begin. Click here to read moreMOD Quick Movie Review: Slow going, but with a twist
After Rockford and Hyderabad Blues, we all expected great things from director Nagesh Kukunoor. Some duds later (like Bombay to Bangkok), he did do us proud with Dor, but then followed that up with the thud-flop Tasveer 24/7. Now he has come up with Mod, with his fave lady Ayesha Takia, and filmy newbie Rannvijay Singh. This is what our very own critic smsed us as he watched the preview: First half: slow, full of wtf moments, good cinematography. Rannvijay hams full on, acts pansy. Takia looks pretty. Raghuvir Yadav sings two songs. But there is a khatru twist at the interval point.” We wait for the full review from our critic. You can watch this space for a link to the main review tomorrow.

Ayesha Takia: I don’t want to be a bimbette in the background
After a short break Ayesha Takia, happily settled into married life, returns to the silver screen with Nagesh Kukunoor’s Mod. In a quick chat the talented actor reveals that henceforth she will only do roles that will go down in the history of worthwhile Hindi cinema
While everyone thought that Ayesha Takia would not act after her marriage to long-time beau Farhan Azmi, she did not think so. She wanted to do films that would touch and move her and her fans. So once again she teamed up with her rakhi brother and favourite filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor for his forthcoming Mod. Apart from her personal rapport with the director, Ayesha says, “The role is a woman-centric one, but apart from that I am a sucker for romance. So if someone is trying to tell a story about love, I would love to be part of it. When Nagesh said it’s his first love story and it centres around the journey of this girl, I was excited to do it. And it has proven to be so, as I have watched the film several times and thoroughly loved it.” Click here to read moreNagesh Kukunoor: ‘Mod’ is an unusual Bollywood love story
Critically acclaimed Bollywood filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor in a chat about his latest film Mod and how he wants to make action, crime and sci-fi films in the future
In Bollywood, love stories are more common than anything else. So why would someone want to watch Mod? What is so special about it? Well, Mod is a love story but it is not the kind you see in Bollywood today. For me love stories work only when characters are mismatched and the journey of falling in love is equally important if not more than the actual act of falling in love. If you as the audience already know yes these two people are already made for each other then the fun is lost, but if the characters are quirky as it is in Mod you wonder that how are these two people going to come together. Having said that, there is also an element of mystery associated with the film. Click here to read moreSalman Khan’s ‘Dabangg’ sweeps GIMA with six awards
