Actress Sridevi turns on Yash Chopra
We know that Yash Chopra has made many other directors part of his production house Yash Raj Films but he himself has not yet called it a day. While people are speculating about who will star in Yash Chopra’s next directorial venture after Veer Zaara, here is a story that tells you what Yash Chopra planned recently but failed to make it materialise. Yash Chopra, who has made successful mature love stories like Kabhi Kabhie, Chandni, and Lamhe recently approached Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi to play the lead actors in his next film. While Bachchan agreed immediately, Sridevi took some time to make up her mind. Our source says, “After a few days, Yash and Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor had a chat about this film. Boney told Yash that he too was keen to re-launch his wife Sridevi in his own production and it would be better if Yash cast some other actress instead.” That’s when politician and Bachchan’s good friend Amar Singh got into the act. Apparently, Bachchan was quite kicked about doing a Yash Chopra film with Sridevi. Our source adds, “Amar Singh tried to convince Boney to let Sridevi act in Yash’s film. Boney still did not relent. He told Amar Singh that they are friends but he should let this one pass.”
So why didn’t Yash cast someone else instead of Sridevi? Our source reveals, “Anybody else apart from Sridevi would have not suited the role. Besides, Yash is a great filmmaker. If he thinks of a subject, he has the actor and actress in mind from day one. He did not make any compromises and put the project on the backburner when things did not work out with Sridevi.” When contacted, Boney confirmed that Yash had planned a film with Bachchan and Sridevi. He said, “However, I did not tell Yashji that I will be making Sridevi’s comeback film.” We then asked about Amar Singh trying to convince him to let the project happen. After a slight pause Boney replied, “No, Amar Singh did not speak to me about this.” When we probed further, saying that Bachchan and Amar Singh were quite enthusiastic that Yash’s project should go on the floors with Amitabh and Sridevi in the lead, Boney said, “Amar Singh and Amitji must have been keen. But it didn’t happen due to some other reason, which I am not aware of.”
Amitabh and Sridevi had earlier starred together in Inquilab, Aakhri Raasta, and Khuda Gawah and all the three films did reasonably well. Sridevi’s last film Judaai (1997) left the audience wanting for more but her comeback of sorts on the small screen as a goofy Tamilian wife in Mrs Malini Iyer strangely did not enjoy very high viewership. However, Boney does not rule out re-launching Sridevi on the big screen. He told Mumbai Mirror, “Sridevi’s comeback film has to have an extraordinary subject. It can’t be a run of the mill story. However, right now, my hands are full with other projects.”

Beautiful Actress Lara Dutta Humanitarian
Lara Dutta is not just one of the most beautiful and gifted actresses of her generation, currently filming for Blue, Banda Yeh Bindass Hai and Billo Barber. She is also a living embodiment of the concept of the three goods – mind, body and soul.Lara was Miss Universe in 2000 and appears to have taken seriously all those things that beauty queens say during the interview stage.
She is well known for her work on Aids Awareness but is lesser known for the important work she is doing with the United Nations Missing Programme where she is active in the promotion of Female Reproductive Rights.
Throughout the world, there is a tendency for more men to be born than women even in situations where there is no interference during pregnancy or at birth. The reasons for this are not entirely clear but Hamilton’s theory suggests that it may occur through an overshoot – essentially the species seeking to ensure that it always has enough males to ensure continuity. A larger number of men will die through accidents, war etc during the most fertile period of 13-33. In humans, therefore, the normal ratio is 996 women to every 1000 men.
However, in India, there has always been a tendency to value sons over daughters at birth – in 1901 the ratio was 972 due to infanticide. The ratio in India now has declined to 933. This may no longer be due to infanticide but is more likely linked to selective abortion. In states such as Kerala, where there is less access to ultrascan equipment and a much lower social acceptance of abortion, the ratio is much higher.
In some states, it is even worse. In the three big northern states of Punjab, Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir, it is 874, 861 and 900 respectively. These figures suggest that throughout India as a whole, 3.2 million girls go ‘missing’ every single year – as many as 240 million in the course of a single person’s lifetime. In the state of Punjab (population 40 million), 250,000 girls alone are ‘missing’ every single year. The situation is now so grave that the United Nations has coined a new word for it – Femicide.
It is illegal in India to abort a foetus purely on the basis of sex but this is clearly widely ignored.
It is this issue that concerns Lara Dutta, who is an Economics graduate and who has been a UNPFA Goodwill Ambassador since 2001. With the deep social concern of actors such as Lara and Nandita Das, it’s clear to see that Bollywood need not just be about being a pretty face.

Actress Celina Jaitley talks about in C KKOMPANY
C KKOMPANY is all set to tickle the funny bones of the audience. Ekta Kapoor’s forthcoming film is going to be a multi-starrer film. Apart from the main cast of Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, and Raima Sen. There are many celebrities doing small cameos and the spice up girl Celina Jaitley is doing an upbeat Punjabi item number.
Actors Tusshar Kapoor and Celina Jaitely shot for an item song for the Balaji Motion Picture’s C KKOMPANY at Klick Nixon Studio in Mumbai recently. They also celebrated the last day of the shoot. The song is choreographed by the young innovative choreographer Rajiv Goswami. The song has been written and composed by Anand Raj Anand who also sung the song with Sunidhi Chauhan.
Celina, who is one of the sexiest ladies in Bollywood, says this is her first item song which will be used for the promotion of the film in the second half of the film. She is very excited about her first item because it breaks the monotony of her regular work in films.
Celina says, “Tusshar is a very good friend of mine. My father is a Punjabi and this is a Punjabi up beat song so I love to do a Punjabi song. These are some reasons and that’s why I opted for doing an item song.”
The plot of the film is based in Mumbai and revolves around three best friends, the three underdogs of different age groups from a middle class background, who are striving to achieve their respective dreams. Akshay Kumar, a crime reporter, Mr. Joshi, who is a retired accountant trying to deal with his ungrateful son and Lambodar. These 3 share their respective plight with one another and find solace in each others company.
On one occasion, these 3 play a harmless prank to tackle their problems. One thing leads to another, and before they realize, the incident becomes news. But things don’t stop there. They put their new founded fame to good use, and this in turn triggers off a series of incidents, which propel them to such heights that the 3 become the talk of the nation.
Things get beyond their control, and the 3 are left with no choice but to be mute spectators to their newly acquired fame, especially since no one knows their identity. C KKOMPANY is the journey of 3 middle class men from their 300 sq. ft. flats to the corridors of the parliament, and finally becoming heroes of the entire nation. One harmless prank takes a 360 degrees U-turn in the lives of these three characters, a situation that they never ever had imagined in their live.
Sachin expects a lot from his directorial debut as he quotes “I wrote my two films and enjoyed the two different genre of cinema, comedy and issue based. But sooner I realized that Comedy is my forte. C Kkompany is a light comedy and feel good film. You can say its a mix of Hera Pheri and Munna Bhai.”
The film has been produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor. The music of the film has been scored by Anand Raj Anand and legendry music director Bappi Lahri’s son Bappa Lahri. The film involves many turn around and is a full fledged comedy with excellent theme, which suits its punchline reading as “When Loosers….. Become Rulers.”
BALAJI MOTION PICTURES LTD march towards presenting top-line entertainment software to Indian feature film audiences after Balaji Telefilms Limited, whose serials rank among India’s most watched television programming. With C KKOMPANY awaiting release and big films like Bhool Bhullaiya, Sarkar Raj, Mission Istanbul and EMI under its belt, this group will also actively produce and distribute both Indian and Foreign motion pictures all over the world.

Bollywood star Mallika Sherawat asked her to return Rs.2.5 million
Mumbai, (IANS) Bollywood star Mallika Sherawat, currently riding on the crest of glory, has been delivered a piece of bad news by the industry’s oldest body of producers, the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA).Not that it bothers her at all — but it definitely pierced her ballooning ego.Following a complaint by Studio 18 against her “starry tantrums”, IMPPA early this week asked her to return Rs.2.5 million the banner had paid her early this year as signing amount for a movie, tentatively titled “Masquerade”, according to industry sources.
Studio 18 had lodged the complaint because before the ink was dry on the agreement, the actress allegedly asked the production house to replace the movie’s director, Kundan Shah.
When Studio 18 refused to oblige, she demanded the cinematographer be replaced with one of her choice, Madhu Ambat, who demanded Rs.4 million for the assignment, said the sources.
The production banner turned down her demand, saying the choice of the cinematographer was always the director’s prerogative.
Not being able to have her way, Mallika Sherawat, as IANS had reported earlier, felt so affronted that she walked out of the movie, throwing the project topsy-turvy.
IMPPA has now ordered her to return the signing amount of Rs. 2.5 million within one month or else face the consequences, the sources said.
Mallika Sherawat was not available for a comment. Her business manager Vikram Lamba feigned ignorance about the IMPPA notice.
Sajjad Chunawala, of Studio 18, said the actress caused the production house a lot of damage. “We will not rest till she pays,” he remarked.
Is the movie shelved?
“No, we are re-working it,” Chunawala informed.

Actress Esha Deol to play women-centric roles
Hema Malini's daughter Esha Deol says that she is matured enough now to play women-centric roles. She admits that she entered the profession as a real brat when at the age of 18, but has since then traveled a long way. She will soon be seen playing an air hostess in Kunal Shivdasani's action flick 'Hijack'. She explains that her long absence from the screen was her conscious decision of not playing insignificant roles. Esha feels lucky to get friends like Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan, Uday Chopra and Tusshar Kapoor, among males, and with Chilarna, Natasha and Payal, among females.
Isn't she happy that her mom is looking for a groom for her? She says that her dream man should make her heart go pitter-patter and there should be strong chemistry between them. Though she isn't averse to commercial films, she would prefer experimenting with different genres. The 'Dhoom' girl confesses her liking for Govinda to whom she wrote at an early age of eight and has grown watching her movies. Luckily, she would soon be playing opposite him.

Kareena Kapoor next with Laila in Yash Raj Film’s next production
Kareena is all set to be seen in an altogether different avtar for Yash Raj Film’s next production. Soon she would be heard as Laila and the film which would be giving her this platform is ROADSIDE ROMEO.
ROADSIDE ROMEO - Well, that’s the first ever animation outing for YRF where Kareena along with Saif Ali Khan would be giving a voiceover for the dogs. In fact it is going to be a Kareena v/s Kareena outing since ROADSIDE ROMEO would be arriving on the same day (i.e. 24th October) as GOLMAAL RETURNS in which she plays one of the leading ladies.
Though the first look of ROADSIDE ROMEO (featuring Saif Ali Khan’s voice) was revealed months back when this Jugal Hansraj film was slated for Summer 2008 release, a delay to Diwali has resulted in the makers arriving with a new promo with Kareena in focus this time around. As Laila, the female dog who comes to give an audition for a heroine’s role, Kareena gets the right ‘ada’ in place to demonstrate the naughty-yet-smart streak.
She doesn’t just tease the casting director with her monosyllabic yet confident replies; she also intimidates him with her smartness. Not just that, she also flutters her eyelashes when the right time arrives and gives a lot more than just a simple message when the director probes deeper into skills. How exactly? Well, she just replies that she knows ‘everything - just about everything’!
Paving a way for far more interesting things to come as the film arrives in entirety; the special promo of ROADSIDE ROMEO arrives along with the just released DVDs of TASHAN and is also expected to be plugged along with the prints of BACHNA AE HASEENO.
ROADSIDE ROMEO is slated to be the biggest animation movie ever coming from the house of Yash Raj Films with music by Salim-Sulaiman. The other star attraction of the film is Javed Jaffrey who also gives a voiceover for a dog.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor as the two are contemplating marriage soon
Wedding bells may not be that far away for actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor as the two are contemplating marriage sooner than the three-four-year target they had set earlier.”Oh yes, much sooner. In fact, people may be hearing an announcement from us very soon. If I had my way, I’d marry her today right here in London where she’s joined me,” Saif said.”Yes, I’m ready to make it legal any time.
In any case, aren’t we supposed to have gone through a secret Muslim marriage?” he says sarcastically about certain media reports.
Saif was married to Amrita Singh and after 13 years of marriage and two children, the couple separated in 2004. After he divorced Amrita, he dated Italian model Rosa Catalano, but broke up with her in 2007.
The romance between Saif and Kareena took off on the sets of “Tashan”. And Saif has never sounded so fiercely committed.
“If I’m sounding that way, it’s because that’s how I feel. With due respects to all the other relationships in life, after my marriage to Amrita and my two kids, this is the most important relationship I’ve had.”
Saif can barely contain his anxiety and eagerness to do the right thing.
“Of course, I’m anxious. You must understand this is the most important part of my life… so much so that at times I find even my career taking a backseat to my relationship. I’ve to guard against that. I must quickly learn to separate the professional from the personal.”
Saif admits it would take his children Sarah and Ibrahim a while to get used to the changes in their dad’s life.
“I’m not going to pretend that my children, Kareena and I have become one big family. They’re intelligent kids with a mind of their own. Sarah is in fact 13 and a lady herself. It would be quite a while before they are fully comfortable with the change in my life.
“They haven’t spent that much time with Kareena to know her as well as I do. But the good thing is everyone close to me realises that this relationship is for keeps, that I’ve never been more serious. Now it’s entirely up to me and Kareena to take the relationship to the next level.”
Saif is upset with reports that he has lately been crowding his ladylove with his attentions.
“Of course, I want to be with her as much as I can. My regret is we can’t be together more often. We are uncannily similar people and I’ve only now begun to understand why I need to be with her constantly. She complements me, as I hope I complement her. So of course, I try to be where she is.”
He dislikes people intruding into his personal life and says: “I understand people want to put our relationship under a microscope. They want to know about our relationship. But there’s only so much that they can know or perceive. What Kareena and I feel for each other, only the two of us know.”
