Bangkok suddenly seems to be have become the second home for Bollywood these days. Saying so, coz recall all the Bollywood stars and half of them are in Bangkok either for work or fun (read pleasure). Neera Vora’s ‘Shortcut’ has let 4 A-stars (Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao) have work and play in this fun city. Also stationed in Bangkok is another A-star, Akshay Kumar, who is shooting for Nikhil Advani’s ‘Chandni Chowk To China’ with pretty and nubile co-star Deepika Padukone.
Talking about Deepika, Ranbir Kapoor could just not be left out. So, instead of leaving his prized possession in the hands of ill famous Bollywood playboy, Akshay Kumar, (Don’t’ mind Twinkle!), the Kapoor prince decided to fly off to Bangkok to guard his lady love. Ranbir got an assignment to do a photoshoot for Filmfare magazine in Bangkok and, knowing that Deepika was already there, the actor lapped it up excitedly.
On Friday, he left for Bangkok for the photoshoot. Now, the love birds are surely painting the city of Bangkok red.
holi was celebrated with full fervor and enjoyment at financial and entertainment capital of the country. People were seen across the Bollywood applying ‘gulal’ and other synthetic colors on each other amidst the festivities of Holi. Some were seen playing holi in eco friendly manner applying herbal colors. In many localities the festival of holi was turned into the water canon arranged “rain dance” party.
Stars were also not far behind in celebrating the festival as many programs were organized across the North West suburbs at homes of film stars. One such party was organized by lyricist Javed Akhtar and his activist-actress wife Shabana Azmi at their home in Juhu. The famous holi celebrations at Bachchans’ residence were cancelled due to the death of Amitabh’s mother Teji this year.
Raveena Tandon, last seen in Anees Bazmee directed Sandwich (2006) with co-stars Govinda and Mahima Chaudhry, is waiting for the right script to make her comeback to Bollywood.
“Well, I’m getting a lot of offers,” Raveena told KT. “But I haven’t zeroed in on any project as of now. But yes, I am certainly looking forward to working again in films.”
Asked what kind of roles she preferred Raveena responded, “Anything that excites me, I’ll do. It doesn’t have to do with only offbeat cinema or serious roles.”
In the meantime she is keeping herself occupied as a celebrity judge on a children reality show on 9X - Chak De Bachche.
A talented actress Raveena, 37, won the National Film Award for Best Actress for her role in Daman: A Victim of Marital Violence (2002).
Konkona Sen is eagerly awaiting RituParno Ghosh’s ‘Sunglass’ to hit the screens. With this movie, bubbly Konkona is trying her hand at comedy for the first time and she did love doing it.
“Though Mixed Doubles was a comedy I didn’t have any humorous scenes. Ranveer (Shorey) had the funny scenes. I didn’t. In Sunglass I do have the comedy. And I enjoyed myself. …I wonder when Rituda will release the film! He’s gone to another film Last Lear. We haven’t even dubbed for Sunglass. Me and Jayaji have been at his head to release it,” says Konkona.
Konkona shares the mother-daughter relationship with Jaya Bachchan in the movie. She has already done so with her in ‘Laaga Chunri Mein Daag’ and the two get along very well for sure. Well, for Konkona (credits to her easy going nature), there is no problem with any of her co-stars. She gets along well with all her co-stars, be it Kangana Ranaut in ‘Metro’, Sandhya Mridul and Tara Sharma in ‘Page 3’ or Madhuri Dixit in ‘Aaja Nach Le’.
Amisha Patel moves into the big league with Priyadarshan’s latest film, Billo Barber. The Shah Rukh Khan-Irrfan Khan starrer is a remake of the Malayalam film, Katha Parayumbol. It revolves around a humble village barber (Irrfan) and his superstar friend (SRK). Amisha plays the barber’s wife and also shares substantial screen space with Shah Rukh. It’s almost a dream come true for the chirpy actress who is known for gushing over SRK, say industry sources. A source close to Amisha says, “Amisha has made a blink-and-a-miss appearance in Om Shanti Om alongside Shah Rukh. Now she has a full-fledged role in Billo Barber. Naturally, she is very excited.” After having broken up with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, the actress seems to be concentrating hard on her career and is breezing in and out of high-profile filmi meetings. The source adds, “Amisha is trying to resurrect her flagging career and get her hands on a few big films this year. Also, she is very happy with her present industrialist boyfriend Kanav, who keeps motivating her.”Amisha sure has her hands full with a new boyfriend and a new film with Shah Rukh.
