Bollywood stars are partying hard in Bangkok

It’s all happening at an international film awards show in Bangkok, where Bollywood has currently descended. Just like Mumbai, the sun never goes down in Bangkok too.

We were witness to this at Sanjay Gupta’s midnight bash, which was co-hosted by Sector watches by Gitanjali Lifestyle. Bollywood’s babes and badshahs let their hair down and partied the night away, as the music bajaued, the wine sparkled and the good times continued through the night.

Danny Denzongpa hopped from one group to another, sharing long and seemingly interesting conversations with Aftab Shivdasani, Mika and then some others. It was amusing to note that inspite of the presence of many handsome hunks including Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan, Dino Morea, Kunal Kapoor and Manoj Bajpai, it was Danny who stole the limelight that night!

Sanjay ensured that all his guests had a rocking time on the dance floor, even as Mika took to the mike and belted out some of his hits. Dia Mirza was seen having a good time, South actress Shriya Saran, looking pretty in a black gown, danced with Aftab, while director Suparn Verma mingled with his friends. As the night grew darker and the party gained momentum, Kareena Kapoor walked in with Manish Malhotra. Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan were the other star attraction at the bash.

Sector watches by Gitanjali Lifestyle has a philosophy about challenging limits and that flows well with Gupta’s next film. Earlier in the day, at a press conference of the movie, it was Danny who once again amused the locals, by introducing himself in a language that nobody understrood… because it didn’t exist! “It’s an improvisation of a number of oriental languages,” he chuckled. Manoj Bajpai however spoke in his local bihari language, much to the amusementy of the crowd. “

Gitanjali Lifestyle would like to be at the heart of young India who believes in living life in style. We are glad to be associated with Sanjay Gupta’s production house that makes movies with an attitude. This association will allow us to project our company internationally as a fashion house and aid us in our initiative to position Gitanjali Lifestyle as the best in luxury,” said Mehul Choksi, Chairman, Gitanjali Group.

Indian stars vie for glory at Bollywood Oscars

Hundreds of Indian stars prepared to dazzle their fans Sunday at the ‘Bollywood Oscars,’ a glitzy awards ceremony expected to attract 600 million television viewers.

The gala event launched by the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) just eight years ago has become one of the film industry’s most-watched events. Celebrations began Friday with the premiere of ‘Sarkar Raj’ featuring newly-wed superstars Abhishek Bachchan and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan, performing with his father Amitabh Bachchan.

The celebrity couple are up for Best Male and Best Female awards for their roles in ‘Guru’ — a rags-to-riches story of an Indian businessman.

Vying for the coveted Best Picture award are ‘Guru,’ ‘Chak De India,’ ‘Jab We Met,’ ‘Om Shanti Om,’ ‘Life in a Metro’ and ‘Partner.’

At least 500 of Bollywood’s biggest names including Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Govinda — have arrived in Bangkok to promote their unique brand of film-making outside India. But the ceremony at a lavish Bangkok theatre, decorated in traditional Thai style, will highlight films that go beyond India’s traditional song-and-dance fare.

Bollywood’s first family star in “Enron” drama

A new Bollywood film on a shrewd businesswoman’s plan to build a power plant caught up in development politics is drawing comparisons with the controversy behind the failed Indian project of U.S. utilities giant Enron.

“Sarkar Raj,” starring Bollywood’s first family the Bachchans, has an uncanny resemblance to the real-life drama involving powerful politician Balasaheb Thackeray, whose party opposed a $2.8 billion power plant built by Enron in the 1990s.

The controversy surrounding the private power plant, India’s largest then, highlighted the politics of development and the difficulties of doing business in a country replete with corruption, political intimidation and red tape.

Who is the next Bollywood queen?

A couple of years ago, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta were the ruling troika of queen bees in Bollywood.

Almost overnight, you have new favourites Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif being labelled as the soon-to-be queens, thanks to their box-office successes in recent months.

Rani, who’s had a bad innings last year ( Ta Ra Rum Pum and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag ), was tinseltown’s blue-eyed girl until her films crashed at the box-office. Rumours of her marriage to Aditya Chopra didn’t go down well with the audience either.
Close rival Preity seems to have shifted gear to meaningful films and has become a franchisee owner of IPL, giving her no time for films. The Bachchan bahu has wrapped up for Sarkar Raj co-starring hubby Abhishek, walked the red carpet in Cannes Film Festival again and is exploring fresher avenues in Hollywood.

In such a scenario, it is inevitable that filmmakers would move on to newer stars who can offer bulk dates, commitment and box-office guarantee as well. Unlike male superstars, women stars never had that kind of sway over ticket windows anyway. While married male superstars are welcome, attached women superstars are almost outcasts even in 21st century Mumbai tinseltown. Why do top female superstars have such a limited shelf life? Says filmmaker Sanjay Gadhvi, “Globally, a film is sold mainly because of the male actor.
