salman in kjo’s film?
rumors are abuzz that salman khan has signed karan johar’s shuddhi which will be directed by karan malhotra. first it was hrithik roshan-kareena kapoor then ranveer singh-deepika padukone who were supposed to play the lead roles in this film. with salman and kjo becoming buddies this tie-up seems likely. but will this new bond spell the end for kjo and srk? it also remains to be seen how the ace director will work around salman’s legal issues.
katrina refuses to endorse song
katrina kaif was approached by the makers of national award winning film filmistaan as they wanted her to listen to the paean they had specially penned for her. but we hear katrina refused the offer saying she would feel awkward to hear a song praising her. at a time when a lot of big stars are promoting low budget movies starring relatively new talent katrina’s refusal to endorse the project has not gone down too well with the makers. and filmistaan is one film with a relatively new cast and crew that needs some good words from the big players of the industry. amitabh bachchan promoted this film on a social networking site. but katrina has her own reasons for not helping out. she is currently in the uae shooting for bang bang. we hear after the abu dhabi schedule the actress will fly down to south africa to shoot for jagga jasoos with govinda and boyfriend ranbir kapoor.
really freida?
freida pinto became the darling of hollywood after the release of slumdog millionaire (2008). she was one of the fortunate ones to have worked with directors like danny boyle woody allen julian schnabel michael winterbottom tarsem singh jean-jacques annaud and rupert wyatt within a span of just four years. but look at her career now. she has become a glorified clothes horse with the media especially in hollywood going gaga over her designer togs and her immaculate make-up because of her ‘i’m worth it’ brand association. yes she may be the sweetheart of the red carpet but how long can she sustain that without some meaty roles to write home about as well?
the jinxed star
uday chopra is one of the producers of nicole kidman starrer grace of monaco that had its premiere at cannes film festival. the film met with the infamous cannes boos. this project was supposed to be the shining feather in uday chopra’s professional cap as producer. but looks like his bollywood jinx has followed him there as well. apparently during the press conference of the film uday was not invited to join the cast and crew on stage to answer questions from the media. now we just feel sorry for the man. we hear that aditya chopra has big plans to widen his production house’s horizon by making its presence felt in the global film market. so we guess that means we will be seeing much more of uday chopra on the international scene.
the end of a friendship
we hear that these once-upon-a-time best buddies are not on friendly terms anymore. the actress played a major part in the career of this director and acted in almost all of his films. but now the director has taken solace in the company of younger actors. looks like the director is in the mood to burn bridges.
his relationship with many others from his early days in the industry has also hit a rough patch.
an actor who was recently launched by this star director is currently the centre of all his attention.
