Sajid-Wajid roped by Salman for 3 movies

Buzz is that actor Salman Khan who is a big fan of the music composed by Sajid-Wajid has roped the two for three movies.

Wajid said that, "We did five films in a row with 'bhai' and would now be doing three more in a row again. After DABANGG 2, we are also doing KICK and SHER KHAN with him. Yeh baat pakki hai ki jo bhi kaam karenge, achcha karenge. Music created by us would be memorable for sure, whether it is for Salman bhai films or others." 

Sajid-Wajid recently composed a popular soundtrack in HOUSEFULL 2 while songs from TEZZ are on air as well. They will be composing songs for the movie Rowdy Rathore and the remake of Chasme Baddoor.

Sajid said that, "HOUSEFULL 2 music belonged to a different genre due to which an entirely different outlook had to be adopted. On the other hand Kunal's film would be totally romantic. Before that ROWDY RATHORE would arrive and that is going to be an altogether dhamaal zone. You know Prabhu Deva, he would only settle for hardcore masala soundtrack. On the other hand since David Dhawan's CHASHME BADDOOR is the remake of a cult movie, we have to be very different in presentation of our music." 

They will be composing songs for Salman's Dabangg 2 as well.

Vicky Donar earns Rs.22 crore

Actor turned producer John Abraham's Vicky Donar is doing quite well at the Box office. The film has so far earned Rupess. 22 crore.

In the opening weekend itself the movie earned Rs. 13.40 crore (over Rs. 11.40 crore in India and Rs. 2 crore overseas). Vicky Donor collected between Rs 7 crore and Rs 7.5 crore in the second weekend which took the 10 day total to Rs 21.5 crore to Rs 22 crore.

Director Shoojit Sircar said that, "I am happy with the kind of response Vicky Donor has got. While writing the script, me and my writers thought we will get a positive response from young boys and girls, but with the film becoming so popular among the masses, it feels great."

He added that, "I never thought my film will get a U/A certificate from censors. It came as a shock for me. The success of the film is the biggest example of audience getting mature. I personally feel that the audiences are very clever and they know what they want to see."

Nandu Ahuja, senior vice president, distribution, India, Eros International Media Ltd said that, "We are very happy with the audience as well as critics' reactions to Vicky Donor. Sunday's collections showed a 91 percent jump over Friday figures."

He added, "The film created a positive buzz right from the launch of its trailer and has delivered on audience expectations. With its unusual subject, characters and dialogues, we are hoping for repeat viewings and a  promising run at the box office."

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said that, "The success of Vicky Donor is the triumph of its story. The script of the film is the real hero. Every character, be it Ayushmann or Kamlesh Gill or Yami, has fitted so beautifully in the film. I give full marks to the script. With a taboo topic, new actors, a small budget, the kind of business the film has done is commendable."

He added, "Films starring newcomers or lesser known actors don't find a theatrical outlet in the international arena. The success of Vicky Donor should also encourage distributors to go beyond the boundaries of India  and explore newer horizons."

Vicky Donor deals with the concept of sperm donation and infertility. When John was questioned about the risky subject matter, he said, "Basically, Vicky Donor is a romantic comedy between a Punjabi boy and a Bengali girl. But the concept is set against the background of sperm donation." John hoped that the film could shed light on a serious issue still considered "taboo" in Indian society.

Vicky Donor is a Bollywood romantic comedy film directed by Shoojit Sircar, co-produced by Eros International and JA Entertainment and produced by actor John Abraham. The film stars VJ turned actor Ayushmann Khurana and Yami Gautam in the lead roles. It released on April 20, 2012, last friday at over 600 screens worldwide.

Zohra Sehgal turns 100

Legendary actress Zohra Sehgal turns 100. She was born on Apr 27, 1912 to Rohilla Pathan landlords in Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh. She started her career as a dancer with the legendary Uday Shankar's troupe that toured the world then. 

Zohra got married to Kameshwar Sehgal, a dancer from Indore who was eight years junior to her. She along with her husband set up a dance institute titled Zohresh Dance Institute in Lahore. 

She will celebrate her 100th birthday at home with the daughter and a few close friends. A source said that, "She is in fine health barring a few age-related complications, which are not serious, Her spirit is still high, along with her enthusiastic, articulate persona."

"Abhi na jaana chhod kar... ki cake abhi kata nahin... ki pet abhi bhara nahin" she recited on her 100th birthday, punning on her favourite song "Abhi To Main Jawan Hoon" by poet Hafeez Jullundhri as she cut a large chocolate cake.

Her characteristic lust for life appeared undimmed late Friday at the launch of her first official biography, "Zohra Sehgal: Fatty" by daughter Kiran Segal. And "Segal" is how they have preferred to spell the name.

The title "Fatty" is an endearment used by Kiran for her "weight conscious mother Zohra" who "is very particular about her figure like a 16-year-old starlet". Kiran said that, "She weighs herself every week and if she is a little bit above (overweight), then at lunch it is one toast instead of two."

Zohra has appeared in over 20 films. She is best remembered for her appearances in "Bhaji on the Beach", "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam", "Bend It Like Beckham", "Dil Se...", "Kal Ho Na ho", "Saawariya", "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham", "Veer Zaara" and "Cheeni Kum". 

In 2008, she was named the 'Laadli of the Century' by the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF)-Laadli Media Awards. And she continues to prove how apt the title is for her!

India Violet wishes Zohra Sehgal a very Happy Birthday !!!

There was a huge buzz that Oprah Winfrey might be the one to introduce Aaradhya Bachchan aka Beti B to the world on her new talk show 'The Next Chapter' and that Beti B's name would be revealed on the show, but nothing of that sort happened.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, made a quick entry and an even quicker exit from Oprah Winfrey's new talk show, they were hardly featured on the show.

The Next Chapter did not even mention about their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan at the show. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan did not even share the pictures of their little daughter.

A source who watched the show telecasted in United States said that, “Aishwarya and Abhishek were barely featured, no mention of the baby’s name and no shot of the baby.”

Oprah tweeted a picture of her India visit, with Abhishek and her helping Aishwarya step down, and Amitabh Bachchan in the background.

Rakhi's turn to get dirty !!!!

The film that saw Vidya Balan walk away with the National Award will be remade in Bengali. The makers of the new version of The Dirty Picture have said that Rakhi Sawant will play the lead role. Its time for Rakhi Sawant to get dirty in Bengal.

Rakhi said that, “Vidya Balan hasn’t done anything in The Dirty Picture. I will do better and hotter scenes in the Bengali remake. Even Vidya will be surprised after seeing my character. I will be better than her. The sari is meant to be taken off in films, not worn. Films become a hit because of this, not because of stars.”

She added that, “The remake will be directed by Shatabdi Roy, a member of Parliament who is as big as Amitabh, Jaya Bachchan or Rekha in Bengal. I got the role because of an item song I recently did in the Bengali movie titled Om Shanti. The song is very popular in Bengal right now.”

Tapas Paul, another member of Parliament and a former actor, is producing the film. Tapas said that, “We met Rakhi in Delhi recently and liked her item song in Om Shanti. Although we are 100 per cent sure about Rakhi playing the lead, negotiations are on for the male lead. Since The Dirty Picture can’t be completely remade, we have decided to make the Bengali version more like a sequel.”

The name of the Bengali remake is not yet finalized and other than Rakhi nothing else has been finalised. And the shooting dates of the film also have not yet been locked.


The Dirty Picture which was one of the most successful movies of 2011 will now have a South Indian remake as well as a Bengali remake. The lead role in the Kannada version of The Dirty Picture will be played by Veena Mallik.The film was a biopic on southern siren Silk Smitha’s life.

The roles that RGV has given to Amitabh Bachchan has been challenging and has chiseled out the true actor in him and has also given him the opportunity to perform in most outrageous of roles that was ever displayed in Indian cinema, be it the role of Gabbar in 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag' or 'Rann' which were few of the movies which did not go well in the box office.
