Ranbir Kapoor's next bulky bulk 'Barfee'
Earlier titled as ‘Silence’, ‘Barfee’ shall feature Ranbir in a dumb and deaf character. However, it’s no emotional melodrama but a comic caper and Ranbir shall be honing his comic skills for this film.
Director Anurag Basu, being a die hard admirer of Charlie Chaplin, wanted Ranbir to take cues from his films and imitate his style. However, Ranbir came with an idea of his own. He suggested that he better sketch out his character in a Mr. Bean-like way coz the new generation would easily relate to him.
Anurag was mightily impressed with the idea and now Ranbir has been asked to put on some weight so that he looks more like his character. Hence, currently, Ranbir is sinking his teeth into fatty food and trying to gain some flab; something that comes so easily to Kapoor Khandan.
So, how will our Saawariya look in his plumper avatar? Any guesses?
Kareena Kapoor's Love and Bollywood Khans
Actress of ‘3 Idiots’ is all gaga about Aamir Khan. She was ecstatic after working with him and had hailed him as the God of Bollywood. She was also eager to do a film with him as soon as possible. And behold, she is now a part of Aamir’s next with Reema Kagti.
Kareena has also been quite friendly with Shahrukh Khan and has worked with him in films like ‘Asoka’, ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam’ and the upcoming ‘Ra. One’. And talk of Salman Khan, Kareena has already worked with him in a couple of films ‘Main Aur Mrs Khanna’ and ‘Kyunki…’. Though both the flicks were disappointing at the box office, their 3rd one ‘Bodyguard’ may turn the tables for them in Eid 2011.
Kareena, of course, is the girlfriend of Saif Ali Khan and now she has voiced her adoration for the cutest and the youngest Khan- Imran Khan. She has cited, “He (Imran) looks good and he’s handsome. I think he is the next generation super-star.” Both are to do a film together in ‘Short Term Shaadi.’
With all the Khans in her good books, the killer lady, surely, knows the tricks of the trade.
Salman wants to credit money into his account for attending 'Koffee With Karan'
An industry source told Mumbai Mirror, "Sometime back, Karan had asked Bhai (Salman) to come on the show. And Bhai told him that he was willing to come on the show if he was paid."
Karan pointed out to the Dabangg actor that none of the guests on the show were paid to which Salman said that he didn't want money for himself but for his charity, Being Human.
Buzz is that since the channel will not shell out that kind of money, Karan is willing to personally pay the actor to have him on the show.
No one knows if Salman Khan was serious or was he just pulling KJo's leg!
No one to pull the release date of Aamir Khan's 'Dhobi Ghat'?
No one to pull the release date of Aamir Khan's 'Dhobi Ghat'?: Aamir Khan has the power and he doesn't even make an effort to flaunt it. No wonder, with his decision to pull the release date of his next, Dhobi Ghat, from February to January (21st to be precise), he is getting a clear road ahead with no traffic whatsoever, what with Abhishek Bachchan starrer Game moving to a later date as well.
Says a veteran industry insider, "Game was earlier all set to release on 21st January. The date was announced months ago and with the film's principal shoot being through, there were plans lined up to cut the theatrical promo as well."
One was surprised though with the stance taken by Game to stick on to its original release plans. After all two other biggies had silently moved away from the same date with Vishal Bhardwaj's Saat Khoon Maaf and Madhur Bhandarkar's Dil To Baccha Hai Ji planning to arrive later on. However, as things stand today, the makers of Game have announced a new date,18th March, and in the process have steered clear of Aamir Khan's film (despite it being a low budget offbeat experimental cinema).
Ritesh Sidhwani, producer of Game along with Farhan Akhtar confirms, "Yes, we are not coming on 21st January anymore. It is 18th March for us." One also suspects if this was a goodwill gesture, given the fact that the producers are anyways working with Aamir Khan for their next outing (to be directed by Reema Kagti). After all it won't be fair to clash with the same actor at the box office with whom they have already begun collaboration.
Aamir Khan "No, that was not the case", Ritesh kills the speculation here, "We are not yet ready with our film and needed more time for post production. Since it looked difficult to get Game ready in February as well, we are now aiming for March."
This makes good business as well as commercial sense after all. There has been a heavy dose of films right through the last quarter of 2010. January doesn't look any better with half a dozen major films anyways planned for release. Moving ahead to March means that Game has a field wide open for it to enjoy all the perks that come along with a solo release as well as zilch competition.
Point to be noted though is that World Cup cricket would be in its full fervour during March. A 'game' like this in the middle of some intense game of cricket should indeed bring in all the thrills, both on the big as well as the small screen.

Shahrukh Khan to make his career with Oscar-winner Danny Boyle!
So, Danny set his eyes on the critically acclaimed novel by Suketu Mehta, based on Mumbai, Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found and wants Shahrukh Khan in the film.
This time the Khan can’t say no to Danny. Earlier he refused to do Slumdog and that role went to Anil Kapoor. Now, Anil is shooting for Mission Impossible 4 and has also acted in a US TV series. As per reports, Danny will start shooting the film by 2011 and has met Shahrukh for the project. However, the novel has the city of Mumbai as its main character.
As sound engineer Resul Pookutty, who won Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire, tells a tabloid, ‘Maximum City’ will be very different from Slumdog.
We agree to him as the book explores the interconnected worlds of Mumbai’s slum-dwellers, bar dancers, the dingy underworld and even the Hindu radicals.

10 Hewan paling jorok di dunia
1. Jerapah
Dengan tinggi sekitar 6 meter dan berat 1.3 ton, jerapah tentu membutuhkan banyak air minum untuk tetap bertahan hidup. Air liur jerapah ini sangat banyak, ditambah lagi jerapah memiliki lidah dengan panjang 18 inchi (sekitar 45 cm). Lidah sepanjang ini mungkin bagi kita sangat menjijikkan, tapi lidah tersebut merupakan alat yang sangat berguna untuk pencernaannya, membantu jerapah melepas daun dari cabang pohon untuk dimakan, dan mempermudah proses pengunyahan makanan. Selain itu juga, mereka menggunakan lidahnya yang "super" panjang itu untuk membersihkan kotoran pada hidungnya.
2. Sapi
Terdapat milyaran ekor sapi di planet kita ini. Jika fakta tersebut tidak menggemparkan kalian, bagaimana dengan fakta satu ini: makanan yang sering dimakan sapi, seperti rerumputan, menyebabkan gas methane terakumulasi di dalam perut mereka, dan secara konstan, gas tersebut "bocor" dan keluar dari perut mereka (baca: kentut). Para sapi bisa mengeluarkan setengah galon kentut dalam 1 menit.
3. Kuda Nil
Cukup banyak fakta-fakta unik mengenai kuda nil, antara lain: berat mereka bisa mencapai 1.800an kg, salah satu mamalia yang tak berambut dan mereka menggunakan lumpur sebagai tabir surya untuk melindungi kulit sensitif mereka. Apa yang menyebabkan hewan sub-Sahara Afrika ini masuk dalam list ini? Jawabannya adalah saat mereka bermain di "bak lumpur", mereka akan saling melemparkan campuran urin dan feces satu sama lain. Menggunakan jurus putaran ekor maut, kuda nil akan meluncurkan gumpalan paling menjijikkan untuk menandai teritori mereka.
4. Serigala
Kebiasaan hewan inilah yang menyebabkan dia masuk dalam list hewan paling jorok. Hewan penikmat bangkai ini akan menyimpan daging yang telah membusuk beberapa hari. Para induk mengajari anak mereka untuk tidak membuang-buang makanan, walaupun sudah membusuk. Dan mereka memberikan bangkai tersebut kepada anak-anak mereka yang kelaparan. Dan serigala ini juga doyan memakan makanan yang telah mereka muntahkan, jika makanannya telah habis.
5. Kambing Gunung
Nama asli hewan ini dalam bahasa lokal, bahasa India, adalah Tahr, dan hewan ini adalah sejenis kambing gunung yang banyak hidup di perbukitan India selatan. Tahr betina jika ingin memberikan tanda, bahwa mereka sedang mood untuk kawin adalah dengan cara mengencingi sang jantan.
6. Koala
Mengapa hewan selucu ini masuk dalam list hewan paling jorok? Mungkin itu yang kalian pertanyakan. Makanan koala satu-satunya hanyalah daun eucalyptus. Yang mungkin kalian belum ketahui, bahwasanya daun tersebut dibungkus oleh sejenis racun. Dan pada sistem pencernaan hewan pemalas ini terdapat bakteri spesial yang bisa melepaskan racun pada daun tersebut. Bayi-bayi koala, tidak terlahir dengan kemampuan yang sama untuk melepaskan racun tersebut, jadi untuk membangun sistem pertahanan pada pencernaan mereka, para bayi akan memakan bekas kunyahan si ibu. Dengan memakan bekas makanan si ibu, vaksin alias bakteri dari perut si ibu, akan masuk ke dalam si bayi.
7. Timun Laut
Makhluk ini bisa tumbuh hingga sepanjang hampir satu meter, menyerupai sosis yang panjang. Makan malamnya bangkai hewan yang sudah mati. Dan hewan ini bisa memproses bangkai sebanyak 136 kg tiap tahunnya. Beberapa kebudayaan di dunia percaya bahwa timun laut merupakan makanan yang lezat dan percaya timun laut ini bisa merangsang hasrat seksual.
8. Hagfish
Hagfish mungkin tidak akan pernah memenangkan kontes kecantikan seumur hidupnya. Tahukah kalian apa arti "Hag" itu? Hag dalam bahasa Inggris berarti seorang wanita tua yang rupanya sangat jelek dan hati yang busuk. Hagfish adalah hewan laut yang hampir tidak bisa melihat sama sekali dan tidak memiliki gigi, dan mereka suka memakan bangkai hewan. Hagfish akan memasuki tubuh sang bangkai, dan memakannya dari dalam. Hagfish sangat berlendir, dan lendir tersebut digunakan sebagai mekanisme pertahanan ketika diserang, hagfish bisa menghasilkan 8 liter lendir untuk melawan.
9. Burung Heriang
Hewan ini sering muncul di film Hollywood sebagai pemakan bangkai. Burung ini bisa merasakan adanya bangkai, walaupun jaraknya sangat jauh. Selain itu juga, heriang tidak memiliki kelenjar keringat, jadi ketika mereka kepanasan, mereka akan memanfaatkan uap dari bangkai hewan untuk mendinginkan aliran pada pembuluh darah di kulit kaki mereka.
10. Lalat
Walaupun para ilmuwan mengklaim bahwasanya lalat merupakan serangga yang paling berkembang di antara lainnya, lalat juga masuk kategori makhluk paling menjijikkan di dunia. Bagaimana jika gorengan yang kalian mau makan, tiba-tiba ada lalat yang hobi makan dan tubuhnya yang penuh dengan bakteri, mendarat di sana. Apakah kalian akan berpikir dua kali untuk memakan gorengan tersebut? Lalat bukan hanya mendengung di makanan kita, mereka juga muntah di situ, lalat akan memuntahkan enzim, jus pencernaan dan air liur untuk mengubah makanan menjadi lembut agar mudah disedot oleh mulut mereka yang berbentuk seperti jerami. Lalat juga suka bertelur di bangkai binatang, yang nantinya telur itu akan menetas dan lahirlah belatung.

Box Office Report: 'Break Ke Baad' going not well at cash windows
Though it performed better at high end multiplexes like PVR Ambience Gurgaon with an occupancy rate of 40%, its occupancy was abysmally low at 15-20% in other multiplexes. Despite some heavy promotions and hype, the film literally disappointed.
Expectations were also high riding on the new pairing of chic Imran Khan and the sexy Deepika Padukone. Plus, a lot was being expected from Aamir Khan’s bhanja after he delivered a semi-hit with ‘I Hate Luv Storys’.
However, the opening day didn’t go as well. And after negative reviews from critics, it’s unlikely that it’s performance shall improve much over the week.
On the other hand, ‘Allah ke Banday’ failed to set up any momentum. Dark theme, lack of publicity and dearth of big stars spelled disaster for this film that could barely afford an occupancy of 10-15 percent.
Sunny Deol and Tabu starrer much delayed project ‘Khuda Kasam’ failed to leave any mark and vanished behind the veils of oblivion. With an average occupancy of 10-25 percent, it hardly bothered the cashiers.
‘Guzaarish’ that released last week, surprisingly, continued its miserable run while ‘Golmaal 3’ has gone past a mark of Rs 100 crore. Staggering result for this comic caper!
Bipasha Basu's crazy feelings for Pakistani Singer 'Atif Aslam'
Bipasha Basu's crazy feelings for Pakistani Singer 'Atif Aslam': Bipasha Basu seems to be heating up for a guy’s voice and it’s not definitely John Abraham. This won’t be the first time that the tabloids have linked Bipasha having hot for another man apart from beau John, but this time it’s not the tabloids’ words, this time around the dusky beauty said it herself.
Bipasha has recently tweeted on her Twitter account that she would love it if Atif Aslam sings all the songs just for her someday. The lady starts her day by hearing the best songs of the Pakistani singer and even in her car while she goes for her shoots the singer’s voice just plays loudly. Definitely this news won’t set John on the fire, but he might just want to learn up how to croon to his lady love.
The bong beauty is presently in Gold Coast, Australia, shooting her first international film with director Roland Joffe. The film named ‘Singularity’ has quite a grueling schedule, as she starts 5 in the morning and goes on till 6 in the evening. So the lady is being pampered quite a lot there, and apart from Roland it’s only our Bips who got the privilege of staying in the expensive Palazzo Versace’s condo.
In the film Bipasha plays the role of a Marathi warrior and soon she will start her training in fencing and sword fighting, she already had to slog it out in swimming and horse riding session for the film.

Aishwarya Rai faces a barrier in her profession?
But Aishwarya’s coyness may have proved a hurdle to a free-flowing more exuberant acting career. Unlike Angelina Jolie, with whom she is often compared, Aishwarya is not comfortable about screen intimacy.
Aishwarya has never really been able to shed her reservations and in a 15 year career, she has only given one liplock (in Dhoom 2 with Hrithik Roshan). Besides she hasn’t indulged in much of a skin show.
While it’s understandable that her ethics and morals don’t permit her to go bold, in the current era of high-tech gadgets, even an Indian actress is showing no qualms about kissing their co-star (take for instance the likes of Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone or Priyanka Chopra).
However, in Aishwarya’s favour, one must say that she is married and is therefore edgy about doing explicit scenes. But it’s a puzzle why her moaning scene in ‘Guzaarish’ was scissored down at the last moment on her request? Of course, her hubby is liberal and intelligent enough to understand the demands of modern cinema. But then, it also highlights the Indian principles and morals that are deeply seeded inside Aishwarya.
So, do you think you would like to see a little more liberal approach by the former Miss World?
'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' Madhur Bhandarkar's latest Film - First Look
'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' Madhur Bhandarkar's latest Film: Get inside the theatre, have a fun time, and come out refreshed".
These words aren't exactly something you'd hear from a film-maker who, in the past has attracted the audiences with his thought-provoking, topical, women-centric drama's that non-voyeuristically peep into punitive reality. But that's Madhur Bhandarkar for you. The man who rose to an unexpected prominence with his experimental yet firmly commercial films like Corporate, Traffic Signal, Page 3 and Fashion, is ready to catch you off-guard and make you chuckle with his first romantic comedy, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji which he unveiled in Mumbai over the weekend.
The film -- which deals with three men who cope with modern women and contemporary liaisons resulting in a fun, roller-coaster ride of emotions -- stars Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shraddha Das and Shazahn Padamsee.
"This is the first time I am making a slice of life romantic comedy and I hope as people have loved my earlier films, they will definitely accept this movie too. The way DTBHJ is shaping up I am sure it will be a treat to watch," he says of his latest enterprise.
So what triggered such a departure from his previous works?
"Nothing in particular, I just wanted to make a feel-good funny film that will have people laughing as they come out of the theatres,'' he says.
"Even though I've created fiction, it is within the parameters of reality, as is the case with my films. You'll like it," he candidly pours his heart out adding, ''I've been fortunate to achieve critical as well as public acclaim and I hope I maintain that trend.''

Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif 'jodi' now overexposed?
Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif 'jodi' now overexposed?: There was a time when a complaint was making rounds that Akshay-Katrina 'jodi' had been overexposed, case in point being 'Singh Is Kinng', 'Welcome' and 'Namastey London', all of which had come in quick succession. Later, even though the pair was seen only sparsely in films like 'De Dana Dan' and 'Blue', it was being stated in the industry circles that the hit couple would be doing many more movies together.
However, this didn't quite happen as Akshay and Katrina didn't sign any new movies thereafter. The only film which would now bring them back in front of audience is 'Tees Maar Khan' and that would be more than a year after 'De Dana Dan'.
Says Shirish Kunder, the film's co-producer, "We had done the calculations while signing on Katrina. To begin with we wanted a newcomer who had to be someone like Katrina. Then we thought why not Katrina herself? After all between 'De Dana Dan' and 'Tees Maar Khan', there was no film planned with the two together. A one year gap is substantial enough for audience to crave for more."
Today when the 'jodi' is being received with open arms all over again, the makers can't help but feel elated.
"Guess we just turned lucky here," smiles Farah Khan, "Audience is pretty much anticipating this 'jodi' to ignite the screen all over again and I am sure they won't go home disappointed."
We hope so too Farah.

Kareena Kapoor is turn to producer?
"No ways, I have no intent to turn producer. That's like getting into an different world altogether and I am certainly not on for that," laughs Kareena, "I am here just to act. Pehle woh toh kar loon!"
With hubby Saif pretty much managing both the worlds for his next and she being a supporting hand there as well, guess Kareena doesn't need to delve into her own production plans anyways. However, given the fact that she has been a leading lady for a decade now, isn't production the next logical step for her?
"When there are so many exciting assignments for me as an actor, why should I be dvelving into anything different right now," reasons Kareena, "I just have to keep moving on."
No wonder, all her concentration is on giving a go-ahead to numerous films left, right and centre. While she kick starts the shooting of her Imran Khan starrer later this month, next year would also see her flagging a film each with Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.
Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan meets tough competition: Shahrukh Khan
Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan meets tough competition: Shahrukh Khan: Rumour has it that Shahrukh Khan is pulling the strings to ensure that Tees Maar Khan meets tough competition at the box office.
There has been an uneasy chill between SRK and his once close friend Farah Khan ever since the latter roped in Akshay Kumar for her soon-to-release film Tees Maar Khan (TMK), dropping SRK like a hot potato. King Khan, who certainly commands respect from film frat, wasn’t pleased being snubbed.
Now, when TMK is set for release on December 24, the gossip mills are abuzz that SRK is using his clout to harm the film’s prospects at ticket windows. How?
SRK is a close friend of the people who head Eros International and he has persuaded them to postpone the release of their film Toonpur Ka Superhero, starring Ajay Devgan and Kajol, from December 17 to Dec 24. Which means that Farah’s TMK which was earlier the solo release on Christmas weekend will now have competition from Toonpur Ka Superhero.
It’s a development that surely won’t go down well with Farah and Akshay who had banked on the uncontested Xmas weekend to set the cash registers ringing.
The spokesperson of the Eros International is quoted to have said that Toonpur Ka Superhero was postponed because it’s a children’s film that can have more audiences around Xmas. Whether SRK had any influence in setting up this clash, no one is willing to stick their neck out and confirm.

The spokesperson of the Eros International is quoted to have said that Toonpur Ka Superhero was postponed because it’s a children’s film that can have more audiences around Xmas. Whether SRK had any influence in setting up this clash, no one is willing to stick their neck out and confirm.
Priyanka Chopra to work with Shahid Kapoor?
The B-town buzz has it that Kunal Kohli has approached Priyanka Chopra with a film that has Shahid playing the main lead. Though Kunal was upset with PC for not giving dates for one of his past projects with Saif Ali Khan, he again went up to this talented actress seeking her nod for the new project. If Kunal has his way, he will bring back the sizzling jodi once again on big screen after ‘Kaminey’. But can the director-producer convince PC to do a film with Shahid, as both the actors try hard to not to be seen in public together.
While talking to a daily about KK’s film, Shahid said, “I have enjoyed Kunal’s works in the past whether it’s Hum Tum or Fanaa and I’m looking forward to this love story. Whoever he decides to be cast opposite me, I’m okay with it.” That’s like a professional.
The film also demands two other actresses. Sonakshi Sinha, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone are under consideration for the roles.
