Bong babe Bipasha Basu is set to sizzle with another younger hero( after Ranbir Kapoor) in ‘Freeze’. The latest is that the movie directed by newcomer director Jehangir Surti has been renamed as ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’. The Producer of the film and Executive Director, Eros Pictures Vikram Rajani has a very interesting comment to make.

He’d reportedly stated, “What is Freeze? The film was always called Aa Dekhen Zara. I don’t know how people called the film ‘Freeze’. That was just a working title we had in mind. We’ve had the title ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’ registered long time back.”The film with dusky Bips and ‘fair and lovely’ Neil is reportedly a romantic thriller. It is nearing completion and the buzz is that would release sometime next year.
We wonder how the romance between the unlikely pair turns to be like. This surely seems like a movie to look forward to!
Salman Khan has always been fascinated with look-alikes of his lady loves. After his break up with a certain Miss Rai, he went around promoting Dia Mirza and more so Ash clone, Sneha Ullal.It’s another matter that he couldn’t help save the careers of these dames at all.
Now that he’s in a ‘high pressure’ relationship with Katrina Kaif (well, they don’t show it but that seems to be the case with reports of fights and disagreements every now and then!), he’s busy promoting a Kat look- alike. The buzz is that Kat was missing from the promotional event of ‘Yuvraaj’ and this babe acted as his arm candy. Some of his family members were also present at the event.
Now this lady’s uncanny resemblance to Katrina Kaif has been noticed by many. Her name is Zarine Khan and she’s his leading lady in his next flick ‘Veer’.
It was in the year 2003 when Vilasrao Deshmukh was asked to resign from the post of Maharashtra Chief Minister and history repeats itself in 2008! Interestingly, there is one common factor that binds the two resignations. Way back in 2003, it was Sonia Gandhi who asked Deshmukh to furnish a resignation. Reason: Deshmukh’s son, Riteish, was making a Bollywood debut and the minister with his Mantralaya officials was doing his bit to make Tujhe Meri Kasam rock at the box office. From CM’s public relations officials to his Congressmen, from party activists to police inspectors and ward officers all were reportedly roped in for the star studded premiere at the IMAX dome in Wadala, Mumbai. While Cable TV operators were warned against showing pirated versions of the movie, television promos and the many billboards in the city made sure that the movie does not go unnoticed. Most say, that all these hoardings were not funded for by the film’s producer. If this wasn’t enough, the chief minister, with his powerful influence got the who’s who to attend the grand premiere of the movie that was held at Imax Adlabs, Mumbai.It was then that Deshmukh was asked to resign citing reason that he employed political machinery for such an affair. And this time around, Riteish plays a major role once again behind Deshmukh’s resignation.
Incidentally, while on his first visit inside the devastated Taj, Deshmukh turned up with Bollywood star-son Riteish and director- friend Ram Gopal Varma for company. The trio then went to Trident as well. The spectacle raised questions of how concerned a CM Vilas Rao Deshmukh was. People saw a dash of casualness in the demeanor of the Chief Minister of a city that was trying to recuperate from the devastating terror attacks. Rumours that RGV and Riteish were at the spot for a research for their forthcoming flick Rann, further bruised the sensitive issue with the masses. And the result is for all to see. With Deshmukh being asked to step down from his kursi twice in the span of 5 years, is it the end of his political career? We wonder!
All those following the proceedings in Bollywood know that A R Murugadoss is the director of Aamir Khan’s Christmas release, Ghajini. He was also the director of the original Tamil version of Ghajini, which was a blockbuster down south and as a result the intelligent Aamir Khan agreed to keep Murugadoss on as the director of its Hindi remake too. There is a buzz that director Murugadoss was very nervous at the time when Aamir Khan was to watch the final rough cut of the film. The reason being that Aamir Khan being a perfectionist is not easily satisfied and Murugadoss was not sure how the film had turned out to be and whether the unedited version of the film would please the actor or not. The director however heaved a sigh of relief when (after watching the rough cut) Aamir passed the film suggesting a few changes here and there, which included a few re–shoots too. Needless to add that Murugadoss was highly pleased to have passed the acid test, knowing fully well the consequences (remember Amol Gupte in TZP?) if his efforts had not pleased the actor perfectionist, and now director perfectionist too! Well, we have full faith in Aamir Khan’s judgment and it appears that we have another excellent film in the form of Ghajini, after the superlative Taare Zameen Par!
Due to the terrorist attacks that happened last week, Big B has denied participation in two big events. He was to be one of the main speakers at former US President Bill Clinton’s Global Initiative as well as Live Earth. In order to express his solidarity with the common Mumbaikar, he refused to participate in it. In his latest blog he has said that he was to be in Hong Kong at the invitation of ex President Bill Clinton to participate in his Clinton Global Initiative and to speak on a topic that would elevate the conditions of the universe. But he cancelled it because at this hour of terror he couldn’t imagine leaving his country and going to a foreign land and discussing foreign issues that too for a foreigner. The Clinton Global Initiative was supposed to be held on the 2nd and 3rd of December and in it global leaders of different backgrounds across the world were to meet and discuss different topics of energy resources to sustained development and other pressing issues of the times. He said he had also cancelled his participation in Live Earth, the Al Gore initiative.It was supposed to be taking place on the 6th and 7th of December in Mumbai where lots of other Bollywood celebrities including Aishwarya, Abhishek, Farhan Akhtar and Hrithik Roshan will be performing by lending their voices to promote the cause of preventing global warming.
Lots of other international artists were joining them too.According to Big B even though the money collected from the show was going for charity,he simply refuses to sing dance and perform when the city is in such crisis.
Priyanka Chopra’s infamous secretary Prakash Jaju who was arrested for threatening her and sending her obscene messages is out on on bail now. After being bailed out he has been sending mails to his media friends defending himself.Here is what he has been writing to clear his image and come out clean – I have finally been released on bail but i still wonder why did it all happen? Ms. Priyanka cleared all my dues on 23rd Sept. 2007 after that there was no enemity between us. “Maine uska namak khaya hai, main uske baare main galat kaise sochunga” Although as per settlement letter we both had to withdraw all police complaints and court cases filed against each other, i did that sincerely in one month but due to her busy schedule she couldnt withdraw the case filed by her against me in Andheri court, its when the Megistrate gave last warning to me that i started sending sms to Priyanka reminding her that its now ten months that she has not fulfilled her commitments and I may get into serious problem. I am married to a very beautiful Kashmiri girl, my elder son is 27 yr old and is MBA and younger one is 24 and is CA. I am searching brides for my sons and not for me. I have dealt with most of the beautiful actresses of this industry including Hemaji, Sreedeviji, Jaya Pradaji, Madhuriji, Manishaji and from the newer lot Katrina, Celina, Koena, Isha etc etc etc and not a single girl of this industry can say that I have misbehaved with her.
Someone is seriously trying to ruin my image, it was his mischief to call Priyanka and threaten Priyanka to marry him (me) and to send her leud smses, I know there are very many international sites like ‘fakemailz.com’ thru which it can be done. It can even be done through mobile exchanges, I don’t deny that I did not send her SMSs, I am definately, requesting her to withdraw Andheri Court Case and at the same time advising her against signing bad films. Thats it nothing more than that.
