Tushaar and Riteish - Outrageous and Sarah falling in?





377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
Kya Super Kool Hain Hum(click here for trailers) is the new title which is gaining its popularity with the songs, especially the dance flicks Dil Garden Garden and Shirt Da Button. The movie features Riteish Deshmukh and Tusshar Kapoor in the lead roles and it is made as a sequel to the previous movie 'Kya Kool Hain Hum' which was a sleeper hit on screen. The team plans to regenerate the magic this time again.

As per Riteish, the movie is much more mad than its prequel, “It’s a new story and completely mad,” he says with a smile. The latest news is that the team has bagged the rights for UP-Bihaar Lootne, a Shilpa Shetty item number and will be producing a remix version of the song pretty soon. The remix will however have the duo doing the thumka's and jhatka's instead of Govinda and Shilpa. To which Riteish says "“He has inspired me and if I am even one per cent as good as Govinda, it will be a job well done,” says Ritiesh. He adds that the male version of the chartbuster from Shool (1999), sung by Sukwinder Singh and Daler Mehndi, is not an attempt to break Shilpa Shetty’s sexy image, but to make Ekta Kapoor’s sequel “super kool”. In the film, Riteish lives off his pug that mates regularly and earns money for his master.

Interestingly the pug is named Fakrudin or Fuckrudin - on the naughty side. To this Riteish says, “It’s actually Fakru, depending on how you spell it,” corrects the actor, but admits that the comic caper is slightly risqué. “It’s the naughtiest film I have done. In fact, when I signed my contract, it said that Ekta would give me tickets to fly out of the country when Kya Super Kool Hain Hum released, to avoid the brickbats.” And after the short break, Riteish will start shooting for another sequel, Masti 2, in August.

He also clarified that he has no plans yet for Dostana 2, as he hasn't be approached and Houseful 3 is not yet on board, so he humbly asked the reporters to stop spending time on that rumor. 

Sarah Jane Diaz goes gaga over snack from Tusshar! 

The main hobbies of the lead actress is trying out new food. And it is said that Sarah Jane Diaz is completely crazy about the cheese chilli toast that she ate at Tusshar's house. "Sarah was bonding with her co-stars Tusshar Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh and Neha Sharma at Tusshar’s house. It is where she tasted the delicious starter, and now can’t stop from gorging on more of it. She loved the dish so much that now she wants to go back to his place just to have a bite of the cheese chilli toast.” adds a source. 

It is also said that the crew is pulling leg of Sarah on this and says that she is making out reasons for being with Tusshar, “Her co-stars have started pulling her leg over the whole thing. She wants to hang out now at Tusshar’s place only for that snack. So, Sarah has been bonding lately with Tusshar. They had a blast shooting the film and have now become very good friends. they sometimes hang out now at each other’s pad,” says a source.

So thats the super kool story!

377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
Akshay Kumar is now featuring in as modern day Lord Krishna for the movie Oh My God (click here for trailer). The first looks of the movie is now out and it shows Akshay Kumar riding on a bike through clouds. As to his previous movie, the current poster also shows him in water color effects! Is it his lucky charm?


The good news doesn't stop there, apart from playing god, it is also the come back of the comedy duo Paresh Rawal and Akshay. The two who have given massive comedy hits were taking a break but it seems they are coming back in big time now! 


The film which is a based on Umesh Shukla's Gujarati play " Kanji Viruddh Kanji" has Paresh Rawal in the lead role playing the character of Kanahaiya. Akshay Kumar plays the character of modern day Lord Krishna. What unites these two characters in the film is the central plot. It's a tale of unconventional happenings in normal day to day lives and when your recipe has a mix of Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, it's sure as hell going to tickle your funny bone.

With Lord Krishna himself coming down for our beloved Kanji on planet earth, the film which is set to release on September 28 is going to have everyone rushing to the theatres saying, " Oh My God."

Happy New Year - SRK with 8 Packs??




377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
Farah Khan is not letting the Romance King go do an easy job, she has done it earlier and she is planning to do it bigger this time. Shahrukh who had increased his gym hours to get the six-pack look in Om Shanthi Om, directed by Farah Khan, will be see in the ultimate 8-pack look for her upcoming movie 'Happy New Year'. Atleast that is what the plans are currently for Farah. 

A source close to the film’s unit says, “Farah has conveyed to SRK that they need to go a step further as the audience expects more from them as a team. SRK has agreed to work hard and get an eight-pack by the time the film goes on the floors around September.”

The story behind him removing his shirt in OSO goes like this, SRK was supposed to remove his shirt and act in Main Hoon Na, but at the time he evaded such acts and promised Farah to do it the next time and when Farah came up with OSO, he showed it out with six-packs on!

Although the director herself has two minds on this, “It’s been five years since he sported a six-pack, so of course we need to go beyond that. I need to present him differently. We will surprise the audience again. But until SRK says it’s okay to talk, I can’t confirm his look,” says the director.

SRK is co-producing the film with Farah. She says, “We make a good team. Our last fight has made our bond grow stronger.”

SRK is currently out in London romancing the two bollywood beauties, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. The movie directed by Yash Chopra, is still in progress and unfortunately unnamed!

John Abraham into the pack?

The movie 'Happy New Year' is filled with stars as it will see Abhishek Bachchan and Boman Irani coming together again with SRK and there is a rumor that John Abraham will be joining the crew. As Farah plays the safe game, she doesn't want her movie to lack fun. 

A source close to the actor said, "Farah wanted someone with a very cool body language for the fourth male lead. She had been toying with the idea of casting John for a long time. The deal was sealed a few days before John flew off to Turkey to shoot for ‘Race 2’."

As for John, "He is very happy he will be working with Shah Rukh for the first time. And he is excited he will share screen space with Abhishek, with whom he enjoyed great camaraderie during the making of ‘Dostana’ and has been good friends with ever since," said the source.

The decisions are still said to be on boards, but it should be soon announced as the party is coming.

Watch out !!

Jism 2 : Promo Video Released - Sizzling!




377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
Finally, the long wait is over, and the first glimpse of Jism2 is out and it has been done at 12 a.m through T-Series youtube channel and the official Jism 2 Channel (click here for the video). After the long tug between the Censor board and the filmmaker, it was decided that Pooja Bhatt, will be releasing the uncensored video on youtube, but she still has restrictions on sending the same video over to television.

The song is soothing and also shows the intensity and most of the scenes that we do view in the video is outrageous. Sunny Leone does look a beauty as always and she is being a hot bomb throughout the song. Pooja Bhatt has also released the latest posters of Jism 2. The video also has Arunodhay Singh and Randeep Hooda romancing the adult movie star. 

The movie is set to be released on August 3rd, 2012.

But we are sure there is more to come as dialogue promos and teasers. As the official channel speaks, the plot of the movie is :


Clockwork Films presents a Fisheye Network production of a Pooja Bhatt film.

A porn star is hired by a dashing intelligence officer to become a 'Honey-trap' for a dreaded assassin. In doing so, she not only has to confront her bitter-sweet past, but is also forced to make an impossible choice - one that will put her own life in double jeopardy.

JISM 2 is one of the most anticipated movies of 2012 starring Sunny Leone, Arunnoday Singh, Randeep Hooda. The film marks the debut of Indo-Canadian actress and model, Sunny Leone in Bollywood.

Jism 2 is the sequel to the film Jism which had John Abraham and Bipasha Basu in lead roles. 


And it seems that there is a warm set of thanks being sent out to Pooja Bhatt for her amazing creation, even Himesh Reshammiya has been a fan of the music and has admitted his appreciation via twitter. So all in all, the soup is boiling and will be ready by next month.

Jismmmm! :wink:

Dabaang 2 : Meetings & Decisions - behind closed doors





377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
Dabaang 2 is a special project for the Khan brothers as it will mark the debut of the actor-turned producer-director, Arbaaz Khan. But when the recent fire mishap(click here for detailed report) happened at the sets, this really shocked the crew and it is said that Arbaaz was quick to call off the shoot for Sunday. He also is calling up the production crew to report back to him to learn what went wrong with the sequence. The rumors are that the Khan's are also doing the meetings and all is done behind closed doors. 

"Salman bhai was shocked that something like this could have happened for a film of his. Thankfully all three injured men survived but things could have gone worse. Arbaaz bhai (who is doubling up as a producer and a director) immediately cancelled the Sunday shoot though he instructed his production team to report for work. The agenda was not just to find out how the incident had occurred but also identify measures to be taken so that none of that is repeated." says a source at the sets. 

It is said that Salman Khan is also getting involved in the meetings as he never likes his crew members getting hurt. "Those in charge of action, sets and power supply have been asked to adhere to the guidelines. Both brothers are mighty upset with the incident. They were also fully aware that rest of the crew wouldn't have been in a good frame of mind to continue shooting on the very next day and hence cancelled the Sunday shoot. However work resumed on Monday, though with a far stricter check. It is business as usual now but both Arbaaz and Salman would be keeping a close eye on how the days progress" adds the source.

Arbaaz later reported back to the media "All of them are out of danger. In fact two of them would be discharged soon while the third would take four-five weeks to recuperate. However good care is being taken of him. We are sad and disappointed that this happened on our sets. We had an all-heads meeting on Sunday and there are a list of do's and don'ts shared all over again. Such mishaps are unacceptable and we are taking extra measures to ensure there is no repeat."

Salman Khan still does stunts!

Salman, who is suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia - a neuropathic disorder, was earlier advised by the medical crew that he shouldn't be doing stunt scenes(click here for the report). But it seems that it is not been followed by the actor who was recently seen shooting stunt scenes for Dabaang 2. It is said that the crew is taking extreme care on the stunts that are performed by Salman. Especially his safety lines have been hiked following the mishap at the Mehboob studios. 

Salman Khan was shooting the intro sequences for Dabaang 2.

Katrina Kaif to rule in Rajneeti 2 - Ranbir out!





377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
Rajneeti was a movie which made its mark in the Indian cinema with its highly glorified shots and some of the outstanding performances of the large star cast. The movie did mark a change in the industry and also was oriented mostly on performances rather than star value. The talent of Prakash Jha in handling the whole crew to the limit was most appreciated. 

He is now planning a sequel to the movie and considering the popular trends of women-centric roles, the movie will be having a female doing the lead and it will be none other than Katrina Kaif. 

In the first part, it was a game of politics in which most of the characters gets killed and the only survivors from the family are Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor and Jha plans to start the movie hence forth. But will Ranbir be seen in its sequel? ""And though Ranbir's character didn't die at the end of Raajneeti, he won't be a part of Rajneeti 2. Again, I will be doing a spin on the Mahabharat, though this time, it will be completely different," says Jha. 

The rumor has it that Ranbir backed out of the project as he did not want to play a side kick to Katrina in the movie but we never know!


For the original, Katrina Kaif not only brushed up her Hindi but also tried to get rid of her heavily anglicized accent. Kat did manage to pull off lengthy Hindi dialogues and gave her best performance in the film. Prakash Jha was very happy with the actress’ effort, and wished to work with her again. 

The filmmaker was quoted saying: "It is very challenging to take the Raajneeti story forward. Most of the main characters are dead. Two-thirds of the characters will be completely new. Katrina (Kaif) will have a central role."

So that is the latest for Katrina after her jam with the three Khans its no stopping for the Queen of Bollywood!

Asin ready for an item number?





377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
Asin Thottumkal had made a huge impact back at South Indian Film industry before she bagged in a smart role in Ghajini opposite the Mr. Perfectionist, the role was carried out so easily that it was already a great impression on her as an actress. She did have few drops after the 100crore venture, but she has managed to clear out from the hassle as her 3 movies in bollywood has already crossed the 100crore mark, namely Ghajini, Houseful 2 and Ready!

She still feels that these successes are not enough for her to be counted in the A-listers and she says she would be surprised if she does get fitted in! “I have never tom-tommed about being a part of so many Rs. 100 crore outings, nor did I call myself as being a lucky mascot for the film’s makers. I guess I’m just bad at marketing myself,” she laughs.

Also she confirms that she had no qualms about the roles she had been taking up or not getting listed as a lead actress, “But I seriously believe that if the film works, it works in totality and not because of a particular actor. So I enjoy the success, but don’t like to take the credit for it.”

She also did take the opportunity to clarify that her recent roles were just made for entertainment rather than for critics to judge her talents :

"My last film, Housefull 2 was made only for audience entertainment and satisfaction. It was not made to impress the critics. Moreover, the film did really well at the box office," says Asin, adding, "It was sheer coincidence that my last few films were in the comedy genre. I strongly believe that the so-called masala films are just a concept."

Asin who is currently working with Akshay Kumar on Khiladi 786 is enjoying the company of her co-star and feels extremely comfortable there. "We have finished shooting for the first schedule of the film and Akshay is a fabulous co-star. He is funny and it was great to team up with him after Housefull 2." says Asin. 

However when TOI asked her about her reason for backing out of remake of 'Vettai', a south flick, she did not comment on the issue. The rumor was that Asin had agreed for the role but when she heard that it was Shahid Kapoor who was being chosen for the lead role, she backed out!

Why No South Movies?

"There is nothing that's stopping me from doing films in south. But the scripts that I have been receiving of late are boring and I am looking for a character that's completely different from what I have done so far. I have had my share of good roles in the south and I do not want to repeat them."

How About An Item number? 

When asked if she might be doing any item numbers pretty soon she says "First of all, I don't appreciate the term 'item' as I find it derogatory. Secondly, I have not been approached for any such number so far. Being a dancer myself, it's easy for me to pull off one."

So she might pull one off! Beware - or be waiting :wink:

Pooja Bhatt not happy - curses Censor board





377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
There are lot of things that did make the filmmaker inside Pooja Bhatt happy, the crew, the locations the shots. But it seems that the happy times are facing an hurdle as she is now forced to have only an A-certificate for the movie Jism 2 (what else did she expect?). When she had presented the song promo of the movie to the censor board, they wanted few parts to be chopped off, which irked the filmmaker and she refused to do that. Which resulted in the promo also to go under A certificate, which means that she can't air the promo on television.


"I will not pare my promos down to fit the Censor board's paranoia post The Dirty Picture. Will release what cannot be adulterated on the Internet and only release the promos of those songs on TV that are traditional and sanitized-albeit extremely melodious," Pooja told Hindustantimes.com.

She also adds about the promo release, "The promo of the Jism 2 theme song that was due to go on air on June 29th will now be released on the Internet on the same day in its uncensored form."

The actor-turned-director is perturbed with the board's approach towards television promos. "They need to give us clear directives. One sees all sorts of double entendre etc dished out to us under the guise of 'family entertainers' while any iota of sensuality aimed at the thinking, passionate, adult Indian seems to make most uncomfortable. It seems like we only accept sex if it is portrayed in a vulgar manner so that we can 'laugh' it off. Anything real makes us uncomfortable! Why I wonder? Because it reveals 'us' to ourselves?"



She couldn't hold herself from commenting via her tweets as well :



@PoojaB1972: First music promo for #Jism2 has been given an 'A' certificate. And this was what one could call a truly watered down version.

@PoojaB1972: So the deal is this-You can't buy spots on TV for a promo with an 'A' certificate. Which basically means you can't publicize your music!

@PoojaB1972: So will I pare down the promo of #Jism2 to appease the censors? Or release it on the internet & push forward a more sanitized song on TV?

@PoojaB1972: Absolutely REFUSE to pare my scheduled trailer down to pander to an over cautious Censor board. Will release promo on the internet instead.

@PoojaB1972: Since we're going the internet way,you'll see an uncensored version! "People who get easily shocked should be shocked more often" Mae West

@PoojaB1972: So we've decided to throw all caution to the winds & go ahead and release our first music promo on June 29'TH as scheduled over the INTERNET

So be it, we will wait the next two days in extreme care over the internet to see the first glimpse of the overrated (my own opinion, argue if you like :P) movie, Jism 2.

Bipasha's Horror affiliation continues!




377692_Hayden_Success_Banner_300x250
More than any other actress in the industry, it has been Bipasha Basu who has done most of the successful horror movies to the date. Bipasha who is currently finishing her movie Raaz 3 has confirmed her next horror movie project. The movie is titled 'Aatma' and revolves around a spirit who is haunting the character played by Bipasha.

Bipasha had announced the project recently and interestingly, the media asked if she did have a special place for horror movies or is she that much brave to take these projects up I wish I was braver about such spooky things, but I'm not. In fact, many of my friends are surprised I take up roles in such scary movies. More so, because when I watch any horror film with them, I cover my eyes with my hands and see the proceedings on screen through the gaps between my fingers." says Bipasha with her classic smile.

The movie will be directed by Suparn Varma and the producers are Kumar Mangat and Abhishek Pathak. The suspense of the movie is said to be really out of the box, "That's from the pre-climax onwards, because the major suspense which brings a twist in the tale. When you see the film, you'll be spooked out just as I was when I heard the script." The interesting part about the script is that the full script is available only to Bipasha, the director and the producers, the rest of the crew will find their copies missing atleast 10 pages, which is referred to from 'pre-climax'.

Ask her if she believes in super-naturals? "On one hand, it is said to be not a natural phenomenon. And on the other, it's called super natural, as if it's a superior kind of natural phenomenon. If it is not natural, why call it super-natural," she debates.

The horror movies that Bips has performed has been too convincing and it is now stamped with the count of horror movies that she has been doing and we are informed that the director wants the element of reality in this movie and for the same reason he has chosen the 21st floor of an apartment in Andheri instead of the shooting sets.

"The story takes place in an apartment in a building, and is also a character. When we create a house in a studio, it doesn't look real. Also the way we'll shoot the film, with cameras going in and out of the windows, won't give the effect in a studio house," sums up the filmmaker, Suparn.

John's escapade from Bips?

This is a seemingly interesting news, ever since the breakup Bipasha and John has been avoiding the interactions with each other and this was again shown up at the sets of Race 2 where Bipasha was to do a cameo. Interestingly the whole crew including Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone was present at the shoots but was missing John. He is said to be out of the country with his other commitments. But the crew still suspects this to be a intentional escapade!

However Bipasha clarifies, “John and I aren’t meant to face each other in Race 2. I had a scene with Saif, and that’s exactly what we shot for. I don’t think John was required in Cyprus at that time. I have two scenes in the film, out of which I’ve shot one. That’s about it,” 

However there was rumor that the two will be having more interactions through the sets of Abbas-Mustan’s Race 2. 

Another remake with Bipasha

Bipasha is said to have signed up for the remake of 1982 flick 'Shaukeen', which is being remade by Rohit Roy. And Bipasha is said to play the role of the young girl who is wooed by 3 old men.

“Yes, I have given them the nod for screenplay and the script. But everything has to fall into place contractually. I don’t confirm anything until I sign on the dotted line,” says Bipasha, adding, “When the idea was conceived, Ronit gave me a narration. Now, we have the final draft ready. It’s turned out to be really fun and contemporary.” 


The original Shaukeen revolves around three old men (played by actors Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt and AK Hangal) who set out to impress a young girl (Agnihotri). Mithun Chakraborty plays her boyfriend in the film.

Ask Bipasha about who herco-stars will be and she says, “They (filmmakers) have a very good wish list. So, I’m not going to tell you anything right now. The casting is yet to be finalised.”

There are separate invitations for every function which includes the sangeet, mehendi, wedding and reception.  The wedding invitation for the Royal wedding comes in a golden box with the initials 'E' and 'B' intertwined on the cover. It is a beautuful golden ensemble and is neither too flashy, nor too subtle. All the invitations are placed in this exquisite golden and cream colored re-usable box.

The wedding card has been designed by Mumbai's famous invitation card maker Multi Creation. Mr. Kamlesh, the designer was approached by Esha and Bharat and after a lot of discussions they made up their mind for this classic invitation box. The card has various leaflets with lovely Radha & Krishna paintings as the couple are devotees of Radha & Krishna, a paper bag, a leaflet with invitation and a box wih grooves for sweets/ chocolates or dry fruits.



The box also contains moti choor ladoos which are made of pure ghee and dry fruits. It is said that the moti choor ladoos are specially selected by Esha's fiance Bharat. The box also contains a Radha-Krishna painting that the couple sourced from an American painter. Esha and Bharat wanted a Lotus to be engraved in their wedding card. So their box was designed with an Om and Swastik along with gold plated initials of Esha and Bharat.

Poonam Pandey hits bed this time!





If there was a ever an ambassador needed, for a school that teaches how to make controversial tweets and attract fans, it should be assigned to Poonam Pandey (Sorry Rakhi Sawant, you have been dull already!). Be it her morphed pic, which had been a sensation or be it the false promises that she had been making. But either way, it seems that her fans still expect her to do more, and she keeps them on the edge. And when she decided to make it to Bollywood, after rejecting countless offers(as she says!), she is not going to do it anything smaller than what her fellow competitors are already doing!

Love making sequences have been the trend in movies and it still is going to be let loose when the movies like Raaz 3, Jism 2 and the likes are to hit screens. Both these movies have been expected to have the most raunchy of scenes. One by the hottest queen of Bollywood, Bipasha Basu, who had already lit the screens on fire with her performances, and the other from the adult superstar, Sunny Leone. When you have such tough competitions, Poonam Pandey had to do one of her love making sequences.

She earlier tweeted after her shoot, "Sex was never as neat as the movies made it. Real sex was messy. Good sex was messier. But in my debut film its gonna be the best."

Seriously? Don't bring in a body double on this pls (sic!) 

Poonam is supposed to make her debut with Jism director Amit Saxena forthcoming 'coming of age' film. 

Also Amit, would agree that there is no better PR to the movie when you have a hot model who already has more followers than the best of Adult movie star. Pandey has 241, 959 followers on the social media site compared to Leone’s 230, 109 followers according to a media reports.

So keep the whisper going as your whispers are as loud as megaphone!

It's a rare friendship - Bipasha on Josh




Bipasha's first hollywood flick is already making into news, as her relationship and friendship with the British co-star has started hitting news. The movie 'Singularity' which was started in 2010 and had a long vacation of 1 year before the crew united back is expected to be very much a romantic flick. The shoot has been completed and Bipasha will be leaving London this week. But it seems that the memories of his Hollywood co-star Josh Hartnett will still stay.

Bipasha says about her friendship "We live in different continents, and that's a big hurdle when it comes to maintaining friendships. We are extremely fond of each other though, so we instantly reconnected when we met again in London. Very rarely do you meet people who you can trust instantly. Josh is that person to me. It's a rare friendship and I know it's forever. We hung out as much as we could in London, and it was fun. Both of us love to eat, so we'd go out often and party hard!" she laughs.

She carefully evades the question of a new relationship between the two. It was earlier reported that the duo was bonding very much with the days they were together and the bonds did not limit to on-screen but offscreen too. A source tells us, "Bipasha and Josh found that their chemistry — both on and off the screen — had remained the same. Meeting again after a year (the film began shooting in late 2010) hadn't dulled it. So when they met again in London, they spent a lot of time going out for dinner and coffee at their favourite haunts, once shooting would be over. It was as if they were catching up on lost time. But Bipasha knows that long distance relationships rarely work out, and she's not prepared to go to the States to be with Josh and give this romance a shot; it's a no-win situation."

Bipasha clarifies on this and says "We started out as accommodating co-stars, but with time Josh and I have become close. We discovered a strong connection the first time around and would hang out often. I had just come out of a long-term relationship, so it was too soon for me to think about dating again. So Josh was a wonderful friend. We have great chemistry in the film. In fact, we sizzle on-screen!"

Bipasha also let out the movie plot when she concluded her session with the media "Working with Josh was memorable not only because is he a fine actor but now also a dear friend. The film is looking good and I'm happy that my first English film is with a talented director like Roland Joffe. I play an extremely strong role of a warrior called Tulaja Naik, who is a bodyguard for the Maratha queen. The only time Tulaja falters is when she falls in love with Josh's character, a British army officer. I've never done a period film before, so it was very challenging for me, but both Rolan and Josh really helped me perfect my character and I will never forget that."

'Warning' every year - Says Anubhav





Anubhav Sinha who had a dream run with Ra.One has been in news now for the horror movie that he is about to be producing. The latest news is that he is all set to release a horror franchise named 'Warning'. The movies will be inspired by various horror flicks which were released internationally. And Abhinav has also gained up the movie remake rights for the project start. 


"I am creating a horror franchise and worldwide there have been several such franchises from which I have been inspired. For the first in the series, I have already bought remake rights. I plan to create a brand in the form of `Warning` and starting this year, I aim to release one `Warning` every year," Anubhav told PTI.

Anubhav, however doesn't plan to make the movies star studded, he holds to his line that he will be adding in characters as per the demand of the script, "These decisions are taken not by me but the film itself. You choose the film and then the film chooses everyone else; a film decides everything on its own. When you watch a film like Warning, you would realise that it can't be made with stars. Even though I have started work on the second episode of Warning, I am not even considering roping in any stars even if the first one turns out to be a massive success. I am not lured by that," he said.

Although his theory on not roping stars hold only for 'Warning' as his other production with Sudhir Mishra will have a star playing the lead role "Sudhir bhai's film would require a known face. Though it would have 10-12 really important characters, the script demands that one of them is a known face. It is going to be a beautiful ensemble and there has been a collective call taken between Sudhir and me to rope in a star here," said Anubhav.

Ask him why he is now going off-beat and horror ridden, after a massive success of a flick like Ra.One, he says "Sudhir and my relationship dates back 20 years. He is like my elder brother. He is not making an offbeat film at all. Do you call his Yeh Saali Zindagi as offbeat? Not that our next would have any similarity to that but I am commenting on his sensibilities here."

The duo is going through names that suit the film which they are planning to bring on floor.

"There is no hurry though since Sudhir would first be making Mehrunissa. We would be starting our film only early next year and while things are looking good on paper, we are in talks with actors who would suit the script and setup," said Anubhav.

Anubhav is currently producing Gulaab Gang, a Madhuri Dixit starrer along with his new horror flick 'Warning'. 

Anubhav is also planning to return to his directorial venture "I have decided what I would be making next and currently am in the process of writing dialogues. Perhaps in a few weeks from now, I would be able to make an announcement," he said.
