When Katrina Kaif cried on Salman’s shoulder...

After the screening of Ek Tha Tiger at YRF studio Katrina broke down into tears. The reason: She had a vermillion on her forehead and media went crazy on seeing the same.
Speculations about her secret wedding were made.

But it was later revealed that the vermilion was nothing but a red tikka that Katrina’s business manager’s mother had applied on the actress’ forehead. Since the tikka was applied near her hair parting, the paparazzi misunderstood it as a sindoor.

"It is a ritual Katrina has observed over the years," said a source close to the actress.

The news spread everywhere and Katrina was surrounded by paparazzi. Unable to handle such craziness Katrina started crying on Salman’s shoulder giving one more chance to the media to add fodder to their gossips.

The actress was reported saying, "Why do they do this to me? Am I that kind of girl?!" she reportedly wailed. The actress made sure that the pics and videos are not circulated in the media.

Salman Khan reportedly consoled the actress and told her to learn from his life. After all he has had to face the media's fury more than many of the actors in the industry today.

Meanwhile their film ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is making fresh records with each passing day!  The film which has garnered about Rs.59 crore at the box office in 3 days holds the highest ever first weekend collections record in Indian history. Ek Tha Tiger's collections were 37.5 per cent higher on the first day than the existing record of Hrithik Roshan's Agneepath set earlier this year, which clocked Rs 24 crore.

Saif ali Khan’s daughter to make her film debut with YRF’s next

Chote Nawaab’s daughter Sara ali Khan is said to make her Bollywood’s debut in Yash Raj’s upcoming film. Sara had become favourite of all the producers when she posed with her mother Amrita Singh on the cover page of ‘Hello’ magazine. Since then Saif’s daughter has been getting n number of calls from many famous producers.

According to mom Amrita Singh five filmmakers approached her daughter to debut in their film. But the caring mother is still not sure whether to let her 16 year old daughter act in a film at such an early age or not. Amrita wants her daughter to concentrate on studies. The mother of two had started her career at a very young age with Betaab in 1983 which also marked the debut of Sunny Deol.

Amrita confirmed, “After seeing the magazine cover page, Sara has got many offers. Five eminent filmmakers have approached us and said that they wanted Sara to play the leading lady in their films.”

Amrita added, “She is just 16. Sara is good at academics. She even plans to go for further studies to Yale University. So we need to give her some time. Won’t it be premature to take a call now?”
But this time when asked about rumours about her daughter’s first film which started doing the rounds again recently, Amrita neither denied nor commented anything related to it.
Amrita herself will be seen in Yash Raj’s next movie Aurangzeb.

Well we aren’t complaining! We all are waiting for Saifreena’s wedding but since its getting postponed again and again, Saif’s daughter Sara making a Bollywood debut can be one thing to watch out for.

Shahrukh’s cameo in Shirish Kunder’s Joker

We all know Shrish Kunder is all set for the release of his movie Joker starring Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Shreyas Talpade, Minisha Lamba. And there is a pleasant surprise for everyone.

Our very own Baadshah of Bollywood will be doing a cameo role to promote the movie. Yes you heard it right. After the infamous brawl between Shrish and SRK it is being said that both have kept their differences aside and patched up.

Strangely Joker was the film that was the main reason of SRK-Farah fall out.

 It appears Farah Khan had gone to meet SRK to discuss their new venture ‘Happy New Year’ at his house Mannat. SRK is supposed to leave later this week for the shoot of his YRF’s untitled film. So Farah thought of discussing about her new project as early as possible. After a long conversation both started discussing about Joker and the aliens. Farah asked SRK if he wish to see them and he agreed. Therefore she asked her production team to bring those aliens to Mannat.

Shahrukh obliged her by shooting a funny video with the aliens of Joker. Despite being busy with a photo shoot with Daboo Ratnani at Mannat, the actor did the video simultaneously for Farah.

SRK said: "This is not somebody else's film. Its' Farah's and Shirish's. They've been my friends for years. I'm her friend which is why I'm doing this, why would I do it otherwise? She requested me and I think it's an interesting concept."

Talking about meeting the Aliens he added "I am very happy that Karela and Kaddu have come to my house. I'm non-vegetarian and Karela and Kaddu aren't among my favourite foods, so fortunately for them I won't eat them when they visit."

When asked Farah how she felt she said, “Shahrukh is  family and it was very sweet of him to take some time out for Joker."

The promos of the movie and the head-turning item number of Chintrangada Singh is gaining rave reviews from the audiences.

The movie is going to be released on 31st august.

Anushka : Kats is a cool person to be with





328931_($15.60 Payout) Save 61% on Home Movie to DVD 300x250
The rumors of cat fights are finally ending as Anushka Sharma has herself come out with a set of praises for her co-actor in the Yash Raj movie with SRK. Anushka Sharma says that she and Katrina were thick friends in no time and were having a good time through the shoots (really?!). She also added that she had great respect for Katrina for her hardwork and the position that she has been able to gain through her Bollywood career.

The news was that Kats and Anushka had a fight at the sets of Yash ji's movie, as both of them wanted the same make up artist, but this was amicably solved by the production house and of-course, being the new darling of YRF, it was Katrina who won the race! This issue was highlighted many a times but this seems to be closing in now as the movie is nearing its completion.

Anushka was at the launch of a cosmetic brand, "We became friends instantly and would hang around together while shooting in London. It was refreshing to work with Katrina. She is very friendly," she said, the moment Katrina, her co-star in Yash Chopra's upcoming untitled film, was mentioned. 

Without further due she added "Katrina is a very hardworking girl. It is not easy to achieve the kind of success she has. I give her all the credit and appreciation for her hard work. She is cool to be with". That put the end to the controversial stories further. 

It might have been a diplomatic decision by the actress but we would never know, that is how carefully they mask it. She skipped over to SRK and says "Shah Rukh is lovely, gracious, and funny. It is always fun when he is on the set. I am so happy to be able to work with him again. I didn't think I'll get the chance," Anushka had made her debut with SRK in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

SRK About his heroines!


Shahrukh Khan on the other hand is all impressed with the new heroines that he is with. He says that the movie has been a learning curve for him to understand how the young actors deal with various situations on screen, "It has been a great pleasure, and an honour to work with both, Anushka and Katrina. And I call it a learning experience because when you work with young actors, they come in with their own new lingo and have completely different ways of doing things or acting out scenes," says SRK.

And he finds that his acting has changed in this movie and the greatest compliment that he received was from Yash Ji himself, “You know, the other day I was at Yash Raj Films and Yashji told me, ‘it’s very different, the manner in which you have acted in this film.’ And I think that’s the biggest compliment an actor can ever get. According to me, this difference is because I have worked with these young actors,” adds in SRK.

“We had a great time working on the film. We have already wrapped up most of the shooting. Only seven-eight days of filming are left, apart from a few sequences from a song,” he says, adding, “Everything’s worked out well, and I hope the audience likes it.”

The movie is said to be a plot similar to the 1973 movie 'Daag' by Yash Chopra, but the details are still not disclosed further. We will be able to see the first of promos pretty soon. The movie has more specials as this will be the first time SRK will work with Katrina and also marks the return of Yash Chopra into direction after the super hit movie 'Veer - Zaara'.

Rs 1.25 crore car for Rani Mukerji





384529_Take Flight with our Aviator Eyewear!
Rani Mukerji is one lucky girl! Buzz is that beau Aditya Chopra gifted an Audi A8 W12 worth Rs 1.25 crore to his alleged girlfriend as a symbol of their love!

It is said that Aditya brought the luxury car on Tuesday evening near Rani’s bungalow and asked her to step in for a quick ride. Later he parked the car at her place and himself went home in his other car.

Much has been talked about the relationship between the original bubbly girl of Bollywood and the filmmaker but both have till now remained mum about the topic. Last year Rani’s father, Ram had once said publicly that the actress would get married within a year. But when asked Aditya and Rani about the news both maintained their ‘no comments’ stance.
Aditya was previously married to his childhood girlfriend Payal Malhotra. Their 8 year old marriage started showing cracks when rumours about Aditya and Rani’s affair started doing rounds in the industry. Many accused Rani for being the home breaker but people close to Adi said that it was because of the incompatibility between the two that had led to their break up. Aditya then moved out of his parents' house in Juhu to stay at the Grand Maratha Sheraton Hotel. The couple filed for divorce in 2009. A settlement, of Rs 20 crore was fixed for Payal, besides a five-bedroom penthouse in Juhu. Aditya Chopra then returned to his parents’ old villa where he still stays in a separate wing on the first floor.
Mean while, rumours about his affair with Rani were getting stronger. Rani who was at the peak of her stardom back then started working for projects only under Yashraj’s banner. It is said that because of this decision all of her earlier directors no longer rushed to her with scripts. Sooner as a result of being constrained to only one camp Rani’s luck turned the other way. With her films like Baabul, Laga Chunri Main Daag, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Dil Bole Hadippa getting bombed at the box-office Rani Mukerji’s career as a top actress started fading.
She won the accolades for playing the character of Meera, a foul-mouthed television journalist in ‘Noone Killed Jessica’ but by that time more young & talented actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra were already reigning the industry.

Rani then kept her career at the back burner due to the lack of film roles and started concentrating on her personal life. It was said that Aditya’s broken marriage and his affair with the actress was also the reason of the rift between her and the Chopra’s.  Aditya’s parents had always shown their displeasure towards their son getting divorced and marrying Rani. Months passed by and it was heard that the Chopras who had an objection regarding Rani and Aditya’s wedding finally gave their nod. Considering the developments, it was assumed that Rani would announce her wedding soon.
So the news of Aditya gifting an expensive luxurious car to his lady love made us wonder, are the wedding bells going to ring sooner or later?!

Prithviraj bags a YRF film




Buzz is that south superstar Prithviraj has been signed on for another Bollywood project with Yash Raj Films.

Rumour has it that, the actress is the reason why YRF signed the actor. It is said that Rani Mukharjee managed to make things easy Prithvi after putting in a good word about him to Aditya Chopra. The movie will headed by Yash Raj Chopra and Aditya Chopra.

He is currently working with Rani Mukerji in his yet-to-be-released Bollywood film Aiyya which will be directed bye Anurag Kashyap.

Prithiviraj confirmed saying that, "Yes, I am doing a film for Aditya Chopra. It is titled Aurangazeb. The film also stars Arjun Kapoor."

It is said that Arjun will be seen playing the lead role, which means that Prithviraj will play a supporting role. Its quite surprising because Prithviraj is an established name down south and he has played various lead characters so far in his career. A star like him agreeing to play a supporting role and that too with a newbie like Arjun Kapoor is quite suprising. Seems as if he has agreed just because its a YRF offer.

The film titled Aurangzeb will feature Arjun Kapoor in a double role. Prithviraj will be playing a prominent role in the same. The film will be directed by Phir Milenge scribe Athul Sabharwal. The film is set to go on floors by September.

YRF goes overseas - French Film with Nicole Kidman





Yash Raj Films one of the leading and oldest of brands when it comes to producers of movie now has decided to move overseas and will be producing an upcoming french movie starring Nicole Kidman. The news came late yesterday that the production house is joining hands with French filmmaker Pierre-Ange Le Pogam to produce and finance upcoming Grace Of Monaco, featuring Hollywood star Nicole Kidman.

YRF Entertainment's CEO, actor Uday Chopra has announced he is joining forces with Pogam's company Stone Angels for the film, to be directed by Olivier Dahan.The movie tells the story of efforts by the late Princess Grace of Monaco (the former Grace Kelly, played by Kidman) to make peace between her adopted country and France. "Grace of Monaco is the kind of movie that has a perfect blend of talent and sensibility that YRF Entertainment is proud to be a part of. We look forward to a great partnership with Olivier and Pierre-Ange," Chopra said in a press statement.

The film is being produced by YRF entertainment, a Beverly Hills based production company which is also a subsidiary for the YRF in India. The YRF entertainment focuses on producing and financing English based movies overseas.


Le Pogam is equally excited, and said: "When I first read the script written by Arash Amel, I thought it was a great story to tell, with a lot of artistic, historical and emotional potential. This is why I invited Olivier Dahan to become the director because he has this artistic vision.

"When Olivier and I met with Nicole Kidman for the first time, we felt immediately she was the right artist to portray Princess Grace. When I then met with Uday, I had the same feeling after our conversation. He was obviously the right partner because of his beautiful vision of the movie."

YRF Entertainment is currently also overseeing post-production on Peter Glanz's upcoming comedic feature, The Longest Week, starring Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde, and has a slate of films in development.

Talaash or Dhoom 3 : The confusion cloud high!




Talaash, one of the much anticipated movies of 2012 is being floating on the dates indefinitely. The movie which was set to hit the screens by June was earlier delayed due to commitments by Aamir Khan with the UTV stars project, Satyamev Jayate, but now the dates of Talaash are conflicting with Dhoom 3 shoots and is making the movie extend its release date indefinitely. It seems that Mr. Perfectionist currently has only one goal in mind and that is to have his TV debut show a super hit before he takes the next commitment, we will just have to wait and see the show to find out why it is so special!

The recent news about Talaash is that, as opposed to the previous reports, movie might hit the screens on November. This is the time when Satyamev Jayate will have completed its season of air on TV. There is also news that a fire breakout at the sets of Satyamev Jayate has delayed its schedule further! 

Aamir Khan, who is also doing the Yash Raj's Dhoom 3 is also getting choked with the date clash. It was said that Aamir will start shooting for Dhoom 3 by mid of April but recent mishap at the sets of Satyamev Jayate has forced the actor to ask Aditya Chopra to allow his dates to be postponed by a month. 

So in November when the superstar is through with the TV show, he might be back on the sets of Dhoom 3 and also promoting his venture Talaash. The rumor has it that the TV Show will add more strength to the movie and will make it more current an issue to be addressed. Satyamev Jayate is still behind closed doors with no outsider knowing the details of the format or what the show deals with.

Aamir's take on SRK's show!


However hard it goes, it seems that some rivalries will never end. The case with Aamir and Shahrukh is similar, as the two has always had their differences and a few times it did come out. As for SRK, he has been wise enough to evade any such controversial statements and have avoided comments about Aamir, it seems that Aamir is taking a new route to the ignore game. 

Recently on the audio launch of Satyamev Jayate, he openly ignored SRK's superhit shows like KBC and Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Ho . He says "I loved Amitabhji's Kaun Banega Crorepati, Hrithik's dance show. I haven't seen Bigg Boss but Salman's Dus Ka Dum. I enjoyed watching these shows." The media then began questioning Aamir asking him to comment on Shahrukh's shows and he refused to comment.

A similar incident happened when Aamir was reminded of recent detention of SRK at NY, Aamir said  "I have never faced such problem."

It seems that as the differences between SRK and Aamir continues there seems to be new bonds happening between Salman and Aamir. We are waiting when the Khan's would clash again!
