Is Aishwarya in-secured without make-up?

Mani Ratnam is the BOSS on his sets and likes his cast to follow his instructions.
In a particular scene Mani wanted to shoot Aishwarya without any makeup.

Apparently, she sneaked in for a basic makeup.

Mani went furious when he spotted the makeup on Ash's face and immediately wanted her to take it off.

It seems, Ash was supposed to portray a wife with emotions of being separated from her husband and hence Mani wanted the shot to be natural with no makeup.

We wonder how much difficulty Ash had to face, considering the fact that she is one of the most beautiful women in the world and facing the camera without wearing a makeup.

Sallu To MARRY FOR pARENTS

Bollywood’s one of the most eligible bachelors is gonna get married soon. Yes, casinova Salman Khan has finally made his mind to get his parents a suitable bahurani, who would take good care of them. The actor says that, as his parents have become old, he would like to give them all the happiness in the world, which includes happiness to see one’s son as a responsible family man.

When asked about marriage, Sallu said, “yes, it will happen as and when it happens but one thing is sure that I will get married. I also have my duties towards my parents. They are getting old and who doesn’t want to see his son or daughter get married. I will definitely marry because it’s a beautiful thing to happen.”

Is Katrina all set to play real life Bahu now???

Shetty Sisters Move towards PRODUCTION

The fact that Shilpa shetty and her sister Shamita Shetty are not seen very often on the silver screen can be explained by the fact that the duo are planning to venture in production. Lady, Shamita Shetty, when tracked down, said “Yes, we are coming out with our own production house probably by next year. It’s still in the planning stage. This is also a reason why you are not seeing much of me on screen. Right now I am concentrating more on my production project.” Shamita Shetty, who has just done an item number is Hari Puttar, is much exited to explore a new territory.
Let’s see if the production career goes on well or just stubs down like the acting on

Julie in Singhh Is King

Neha Dhupia, who was stamped as sexy after the bold movie, Julie, has come face to face with the name again. The lady is playing a character named Julie in Akki’s next, Singh Is Kinng. Neha wasn’t at first ready for the role as it wasn’t a lead one, but she agreed when she was told that it was an equally important role.

“I don’t think the Julie connection will ever leave me! Even today when I go up north and to the small towns, people say’ Arre Julie Aa Gayi! Since the association is so strong, I said, why not christen my character Julie!”, is what the hot actress has to say.

Well…..all we wonder is whether this Julie character is similar to the earlier one!!;)

Deepika: ‘Hitched’ in the news

Deepika Padukone has had no releases post Om Shanti Om. Despite that, this one film wonder has managed to rake in publicity like it’s going out of fashion. Having achieved star status with her debut film, Deepika has many big banner films to her credit. This Shah Rukh Khan find will also do an item number for her mentor’s home production, Billoo Barber. Already in the race for the Number One title, she was recently nominated in the Best Actress category at the Asian Film Awards.

What usually keeps Deepika in the news are her off-screen relationships. Having begun her career as a model, her first relationship to come under the scanner was with Nihar Pandya. She went on to win the Model Of The Year title and, around that time, Ranbir Kapoor walked into her life. They didn’t last, as Om Shanti Om and Saawariya catapulted both to fame. Then, Deepika got busy learning more about cricket. According to the grapevine, she was dating M S Dhoni, then Yuvraj Singh. Before long, she was back in the arms of Ranbir.
Now, the two are having a blast together, starring in Yash Chopra’s Bachna Aye Haseeno. Considering Deepika’s had a different beau at every stage of her life though, we wonder how long before she finds another Saawariya.

Rani's googly to tinsel town

Rani Mukherji, after playing an angel in Kunal Kohli’s Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, is all set to play a cricketer in Yash Chopra’s next film. She’s paired for the first time opposite Shahid Kapoor and said with her throaty laugh, “I don’t know if any actress has played a cricketer before, but I’ve been learning cricket on the field for the past two months. I can play the game convincingly now, though not as good as the professionals yet, but I’m glad to be doing work which challenges.” So is she equipped to join the IPL next season? “I don’t know about that! But I’m definitely enjoying cricket. My practical sessions are on full swing.”

Rani is hungry for new roles. “At this stage of my career I feel I need new challenges. When Kunal offered me an angel’s role, I was kicked. For the first time I was playing a character who couldn’t cry. Now critics can stop saying Rani cries so much in all her films.” After an angel and a cricketer, what would Rani like to play? “Maybe an astronaut like Kalpana Chawla. And I’d also love to play a doctor. I’ve never done that before. Come to think of it, I’ve never worked with Shahid Kapoor before either. I’m doing so now.”
Isn’t there a danger of her being branded a resident Yash Chopra banner’s heroine since all her recent films have been with that banner alone? “Why?” Rani shot back. “Wasn’t Saawariya with Sanjay Leela Bhansali?”

Salman: 10 ka Dumb?

At a plush suburban five-star hotel, Salman Khan arrived in style for the launch of his much-awaited television debut, 10 Ka Dum. Salman stuck to his tradition of making a late entry. This time, he kept everyone waiting for a whole two hours, but made up for it almost as soon as he took the stage. Sallu, with a teensy ponytail for company, kept everyone entertained and gave a good enough glimpse of what to expect from the show. For starters, he kept taking digs at the media. “This is just like Maine Pyar Kiya,” he said, when asked about his television debut. According to him, the ponytail had been a trend he and pal Sanjay Dutt started back in the early 90s. But, in jest, he gave the media the answer they were hoping for. “Ooh, yes I’m inspired by Shah Rukh,” he said, fluttering his eyelashes. A song-and-dance routine heralded his arrival and Sallu explained that you didn’t have to have a very high IQ to participate in the show, so he was the right choice. Is it true, then, that brawny isn’t necessarily brainy? You said it Salman, we didn’t!

Why is Bebo so busy?

It looks like we will not be able to see Kareena Kapoor for some time. The actress is in Melbourne these days, and has also put on some weight. So, no one can talk about size-zero and Bebo in the same breath anymore.

Also, the high she's been on since Jab We Met continues... Right now, Bebo's probably the busiest actress in Bollywood. While she already has Salman Khan's Main Aur Mrs Khanna, a film with Saif's production house, Golmaal Returns with Ajay Devgan, Kambakth Ishq with Akshay Kumar and Raju Hirani's Idiots with Aamir Khan, there are two more roles in the offing. Buzz is that she may replace Kajol in two films if all goes well.

She has also been constantly on the move. After shooting portions of Golmaal Returns in Goa, and bits of the same film abroad, she left for Melbourne to shoot for Salman's Main Aur Mrs Khanna.Once this is done, she will be on location for a two month shoot of Kambakth Ishq . Bebo will share screen space with Akshay Kumar in this flick that is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.And towards the end of this year, Kareena will be off to London, where she, along with Saif, will shoot for a yet-to-be titled Karan Johar film.

Busy as a bee... is our Bebo. Wat say?

Salman Khan: Bollywood bad boy?

After taking over Bollywood, Salman Khan is set to sizzle on the small screen. Despite many ups and downs in his professional as well as personal life, he still has the kind of charisma that lets him connect with audiences.
With a host of reality shows hosted by Bollywood’s top stars, Salman just had to join the gang. On June 6, he makes his debut with Dus Ka Dum. Extremely excited about the show, Salman has even experimented with his looks and is rehearsing constantly. After all, he will be competing with King Khan himself.
For Salman, the journey in tinsel town has been interesting. Despite having begun his career as a supporting actor in Biwi Ho To Aisi, he garnered enough attention to get many lead offers. His career changed with Rajshri Production’s Maine Pyar Kiya as he bagged the Filmfare Best Debutante Award for his portrayal of a lover boy. Since then, his big list of hits has included Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Tere Naam, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and No Entry. Salman has worked with most producers and directors, and there is no doubt his professional life is going places.
Having said that, his personal life still seems to be in an eternal state of turmoil. First he was associated with Somy Ali, only to break it off. Then walked in Aishwarya Rai and the two became the focus of tabloid attention. That relationship was followed by the entry of gorgeous Katrina Kaif. Now issues between the two seem to have cropped up.
Often known as Bollywood’s bad boy, Salman’s knack of walking into trouble has overshadowed people’s perception of him as an actor. In 1998 he was arrested for killing protected wild animals and spent about a week behind bars. He also has other cases to face. Let’s hope his television debut marks a new innings.

Amitabh Bachchan: Superstar forever!

At 60 plus, superstar Amitabh Bachchan is at a position where no one can question his stature. However, a few years ago, there was a phase when he seemed to have lost his footing in the industry. While audiences lost faith in the icon, even he seemed to doubt his prowess. During the music launch of Mrityudaata in 1997, he had said, “I think it’s a fallacy that all my films are solely mine. The directors, producers and writers have a big part to play, especially the writers.”
We have often heard that towards the end of every tunnel is a ray of hope. This especially holds true for the Big B. Despite the many setbacks he has faced, he has filmmakers queuing up to cast him in their projects. Scriptwriters are writing scripts specifically for Amitabh. There’s Bhoothnath, Cheeni Kum and Nishabd as proof. However, there was a phase when the legend had nothing but duds to look forward to. In 1999, four of his films — Suryavansham, Lal Badshah, Hindustan Ki Kasam and Kohram — turned turtle at the box office. That’s when critics and audiences alike felt that ‘the end’ of Shahenshah’s career was near.
The downward journey of his production house, ABCL, just added to the mudslinging. He’d then said to the media, “You want to talk about the fading of an icon. But you never said I was an icon. You say the superstar has fallen. But you have never called me a superstar ever.” Then came Mohabbatein, Kaun Banega Crorepati? and Aks and the equation changed. He is finally in a position where no amount of criticism can deter him from looking forward. And nobody is complaining!
