Sunny Leone is not playing it small, and even when critics said that Jism 2 is a wasted effort, the actress is not sharing the same opinion, she confirms that there has been a greater level of satisfaction for herself, the crew and the audience who watched the movie and she also doesn't dare to disrespect the critics and says that there are different perspectives for each person on a movie.

“Well, I am not sure what they were disappointed in,” said Sunny. “As far as my fans go, I feel better that they have gone and supported me. That’s all about I can ask for. I spoke to so many fans who bought a ticket more than once to watch the film. I guess each person has their own prerogative.” when reporters asked on the failure to gain critical acclaim for her debut Bollywood movie.

She adds how good she feels after the movie, “It’s really exciting when you see the benefits of your hard work, and you know that people have spent their hard-earned money on a ticket for your movie. It’s the best feeling. The response has been nothing but amazing!”

Sunny says that she was sure that she did have a adult movie tag to herself but she thanked the audience for supporting her through the role and the movie. Sunny Leone who had already bagged Ekta Kapoor's, Ragini MMS 2, a sequel to the Ekta Kapoor's 2011-film 'Ragini MMS' which starred Kainaz Motivala and Raj Kumar Yadav.

She is awaiting to create the same magic that the movie Ragini MMS did back in 2011. Sunny Leone adds that she is taking a break from her adult movie career and will be seen around India. "I'll be doing workshops here in India, I'll be doing them before 'Ragini MMS 2'. I'll be taking dance classes, Hindi lessons, watching Hindi movies... It's like going back to school for me."

Sounds good Sunny :)


Meanwhile, Sunny does not feel any heat from established Bollywood actresses.

"I don't like the word. Competition is something, unless it's in sports, it's kind of like a negative word, at least in my book. These women (actresses) work so hard. I know what goes into making a movie now," Sunny said.

"I know all these different appearances and other things that we do, it's a business and on top of that you have a lot of fun. But competition, everyone is in their own league and in their own space," she added.

She adds that she loves to stay here in India and establish herself in Bollywood, "I love India. I am so happy I am here, I'll be staying here for a while. I have a lot of different projects coming up. Ragini MMS 2 is something we are going to start shooting by the end of this year," the 31-year-old said here Sunday at the announcement of her association with music company Saregama which will give its customers access to her content.

John Abraham miffed: I didn't cast her out





384529_Take Flight with our Aviator Eyewear!
One year long separation, as in Bipasha's horror movies, the ghost still haunts her and she is still said be suffering from the doings of John Abraham, atleast that is what Bipasha thinks. The latest story comes from the sets of 'Shootout at Wadala' where the rumor is that John had asked Sanjay Gupta to remove Bipasha from the movie. But on the other hand, both producer and the director has come forward to express that they had never planned of grabbing in Bipasha for the role. The truth still hides somewhere!

Bipasha and John Abraham was one couple which had envied many, for the fact that both were hot rolemodels or rather sex symbols for many. The duo had been quite good to each other and professional as well. But somethings did not work out good and it was Bipasha Basu who announced that they were no longer together. It has been an year since this happened and although John had not spoken much about this issue and had also waited for her to return back, it never happened and it seems that both have chosen their ways. But this new rumor pulls out the older stories together.

However, citing the thorough professionalism of John Abraham a close friend to John says “It has been nearly a year since John and Bipasha have broken up. However in spite of such a long time, John has maintained silence over the whole issue. In fact, in a recent interview to a daily, Bipasha hinted that John cheated on her. However, he did not even comment on it. But the recent news that he is instrumental in Bips being thrown out of Gupta’s film has upset him.”

“He has now moved on in life and everyone is aware that he is already dating Priya (Runchal) and has plans to settle down with her. He does not want any bitterness in his life and he wishes well for Bipasha who had been an integral part of his life for years. No one knows why they broke off and John has no intention of discussion that on a public platform. However, these constant attacks by Bipasha are now taking a toll on him. ” adds the close friend. 

Sanjay Gupta too denies the allegation and says, “Neither Ekta Kapoor nor I have ever claimed that Bipasha was a part of the film. So where is the question of her being out of the film? The last thing is to accuse John of doing something unprofessional. He does not in any way interfere in the casting process of the film. His silence should not be taken for granted. People are even saying that Naseerbhai and Nana Patekar are in the film but all I want to say is that nothing is finalised as of now.” 

Although in midst of this the crew says that they are aware of the tiff between the ex-couple's!

Karan fails! Deepika In!




Despite his best of efforts, Karan Johar has had an epic fail in getting dates of Kareena Kapoor for his new venture. Karan Johar is planning a new movie with Ekta Kapoor and he wanted Kareena Kapoor to work opposite Emraan Hashmi for the role. She was busy with the shoots of 'Heroine' back then but when she finally got off the shooting schedule for 'Heroine' the director and best friend of Kareena tried to convince her about the role. Initially she did have qualms about working with Emraan but she got over it, but the latest news is that she still wont be doing it.

A source close to Dharma and Balaji productions say "It is strange Kareena was not happy with her role. She also told Ekta and Karan that her wedding would be around the same time they wanted to start shooting for the film. It`s a heroine-oriented film and Emraan is not the mainstay of the project. Deepika was so excited about her role that she agreed to it a couple of days before boarding the flight to Turkey, where she is currently shooting for Race 2,"

She has although given her dates to Sanjay Leela Bhansaali who is preparing a saga with her and Ranveer Singh in it. But it seems that the Karan's role failed to convince her equally to work out dates for him.

The rumor has it that the actress later wanted to do the movie but by the time the producers had finalized Deepika Padukone for the role and did not want to change it. She might miss the chance to be the part of Emraan Hashmi league, who is having a good run at the box office and is getting much appreciated for his acting skills rather than his kissing!

And it seems that angels are right up and showering on Deepika as her star is back with bright light!

Ekta's fight over 'The Dirty Picture' TM



Ekta Kapoor, the business head of Balaji Films is not so happy with the way her movie title is being used. She has been carrying the title of 'The Dirty Picture' in style through award functions and is really not in good mood when the same name got snatched in for a Kannada movie which is under production starring Veena Malik. Ekta has openly expressed her disapproval for the use of the title and is said to have proceeded with legal action against the production team at Karnataka.

'The Dirty Picture' which is more like a trademark for Balaji productions has been a status symbol for the producers and actors. Especially when Vidya Balan, the lead protagonist did receive the National award for her talents expressed through the movie. Since the movie, Ekta has been specific on what she will like to share about the movie and what she hates to do. But when the news did break out that Veena Malik's movie in Kannada has the same title she was irked to the max!

The stranger part to this story is that Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce or KFCC has been said to have approved the title and is being granted to Venkatappa, one of the production head for the Kannada movie. The Kannada version of 'The Dirty Picture' is being directed by Trishul. It is said that Ekta has sent out a legal notice to the president of KFCC to cancel the permissions given to Venkatappa and stop the name being used in the movies.

The director of the movie has different thoughts on this issue and says that there has been no such legal boundaries of using a bollywood movie title on the regional language movies and claims that Ekta's legal notice will not stand grounds. He adds in the example of 'Houseful' and 'Bhadra' the movies had similar counter parts in Bollywood and Kannada. Since it wasn't a problem with those movies, he just doesn't agree to Ekta's claim for this movie. He also adds that the movie he is making is completely different movie from what Balaji productions had prepared and is never a 'inspired copy' of the original.

Ekta is said to have given a 5 day notice for the KFCC to take actions before she proceeds with the legal actions.

Sunny Leone in Ragini MMS sequel






Ekta Kapoor's Alt Entertainment, which recently produced the most successful movie of 2011, "THE DIRTY PICTURE" has now signed Sunny Leone for the sequel of Ragini MMS.

Ekta confirmed by saying, “Yes we have signed Sunny for the sequel. We wanted to take it to a higher level. It’s a scary date movie meant for youngsters. Sunny represents sensuality at its peak, so for us she’s the perfect choice.”

Ragini MMS is a 2011 Bollywood horror-thriller film produced by Ekta Kapoor and produced by Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor of Balaji Telefilms. The film revolves around the video footage of a girl named Ragini. It was released on 13 May 2011. The film is inspired from the 2007 American supernatural horror film Paranormal Activity and is also half based on a real story of a girl from Delhi. This film has been remade in Malay as Klip 3gp in 2011.

Tanug Garg, CEO, Balaji Motion Pictures said, "We have signed Sunny Leone for Ragini MMS 2. She fits the bill with her sensuality. We always had the sequel on mind. We were waiting for the box office results and how the film would be accepted." 

He added that, "The second part is going to be much bigger. The male lead would be as exciting as the female one."

"We are still at scripting stage. We are yet to concretise things. The film would go on floors by year-end and release next year."

Ragini MMS was made with a budget of Rs 1.30 crore and it earned Rs 12-13 crore at the box office. Tanug Gard said, "The budget for the second instalment of Ragini MMS would be higher but viable."

A source said that, "The sequel too is inspired by a real-life story. The scale of the sequel is much bigger than the first one and will be much scarier and it will be full of sex and sensuality."

Sunny Leone will commence shooting for RAGINI MMS 2 this year after completing Pooja Bhatt's Jism 2.

Rohit Shetty turns actor





Director Rohit Shetty, who was recently seen in the reality show "The Big Switch" playing the judge, is all set to make his debut as an actor. 

He is not acting in his own movie but in his friend Tusshar Kapoor's sister's movie. He has shot a cameo in Ekta Kapoor’s Kya Super Cool Hai Hum (KSKHH) directed by Sachin Yardi. 

Kya Super Kool Hai Hum is a sequel to the 2005 hit, Kya Kool Hai Hum starring Riteish Deshmukh and Tusshar Kapoor along with Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane-Dias. 

Tusshar Kapoor, who plays the lead role in the movie, confirmed the news and said, “Yes, Rohit is doing a cameo in the film. I have shot with him and it was fun.” 

Additionally, the actor was instrumental in getting Rohit on board for the project. The production team approached him for the cameo but as he was busy shooting Bol Bachchan, talks couldn’t progress. Tusshar then convinced Rohit to come on board. He said, “He had never turned down the cameo to begin with. But he agreed after I spoke to him.”

In Kya Super Kool Hai Hum, Rohit Shetty plays himself, a director who is shy and quiet on screen. The filmmakers wrapped up Rohit’s portion in few hours as Ekta Kapoor didn’t want to take much of his time. Tusshar Kapoor said, “We wanted him to be happy as that’s how he is when work is done quickly.” 

A source close to the movie said, "Actor Tusshar Kapoor has acted in all the three Golmaal series directed by Rohit Shetty. They share a great rapport and the director couldn't say no to him."

Kareena - Vidya to appear Together?



The news is from the tinsel town that the arch-rivals Vidya Balan and Kareena Kapoor may come together for a function which is scheduled up ahead. The story of their rivalry started through the romantic days each of them had with the one and only 'Shahid Kapoor'. The story started with that and each of them have tried to avoid each others company since then.

The latest news is with Karan Johar planning to launch he first promo for his next movie 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' at the screening of Vidya's Dirty Picture. As Karan holds good relationship with Ekta Kapoor, the request for securing the slot was easily done. So finally we might have the chance to see the two together.

All eyes are now on to Kareena as she won't like her movie to be dependent on Vidya's movie for a grand launch. However, a person close to Bebo refutes the rumour, saying, "Kareena knows there are some decisions that are best taken by the director and producer, and doesn't have a concern whatsoever that the trailers are releasing with a Vidya Balan film. The director knows what's best for the movie. Bebo's job is only to act and do her part well."

So thats news!

Fight over Silk Smitha - Dirty Picture legal trouble




As the release dates for 'Dirty Picture' is closing by more controversies are arising around the movie. The latest news is that Silk Smitha's brother is going against the movie and there has been legal notices sent to Milan Luthria and Ekta Kapoor, who are the director and producer of the movie.

The movie Dirty Picture is a inspiration of the real life character Silk Smitha, who had ruled the south Indian industry for her sizzling style. She was being utilized at various stages of life and the movie tries to portray her true life over the screen, this was a bold decision on both Ekta Kapoor's and Milan Luthria's side to have a reel life given to the legendary spice queen.

Silk Smitha's brother V Naga Vara Prasad was the one who has raised this complaint, Naga Vara is a agriculturist and wasn't aware of the movie until recent times. He said to our sources that "We came to know through TV channels and newspaper reports that The Dirty Picture portrays my sister in a rather obscene way. Ekta Kapoor is making the film with Vidya Balan in the lead role. Neither the producer nor the director contacted us (the family). What right do the producer and the director have to make this film, without the family's consent?"

Silk Smitha, whose real name was Vijayalakshmi was born at Kovvali village near the famous Kolleru Lake in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. Her family still lives in the village, where her brother is a semi-literate agriculturist. Vara Prasad, the only brother of Smitha, said that the family and relatives were upset with the news about a film on his sister with obscene content. 

"We learned that they made the film based on inputs given by an alleged boyfriend of Smitha in Chennai. If they wanted to make a perfect film with facts in place, they should have contacted us to know about her childhood at least," said her brother. 

The news is that there has not been response from both Ekta and Milan yet and Naga Vara is planning to launch second notice through Hyderabad high court soon. The movie is set to be released on December 2nd, which is the birthday of Silk Smitha. 

We did try to catchup with Milan, but he refused to comment on it as the matters were already with the court and the advocates had advised him to keep his comments for court and not for media. He said " Basically people like us tend to get into a situation like this very late in the day. It is very difficult to say anything at all as our legal advisors have warned us not to comment since the matter is subjudice. 

My only concern is that things should go well and this course of events should not harm the product. It is tough to say anything more at this stage, as we don't know exactly how things are going to unfold. The lawyers are looking in to the papers and they will take proper action".

Ekta Holdup by Customs!



The famous Balaji films owner and one of the leading producers of Bollywood was detained at the Mumbai Airport on her return from Bangkok for duty evasion. Ekta was returning back home when she was questioned by the officials on the details of duty she had paid. It was reported that she was carrying around 10lakh worth baggages and had paid duty only for 8lakh rupees.


The reports mention that she had to pay 30000 rupees to get her additional goods worth 2 Lakh rupees. She was later let off by the customs officials. Customs officials have confirmed this news and mentioned that they had found few personal baggages for which she hadn't paid the duty for.

Ekta is not let alone in this breed, as we have Shahrukh Khan, Bipasha Basu, Anushka Sharma, Minissha Lamba etc detained by the Mumbai Customs recently. All were found to be carrying excess luggage and was let go after the fine was paid.
