SRK is open to work with Salman

Though Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan had reportedly not been on talking terms since the past few years, SRK maintained that there are no ego issues between them and that he has no qualms in sharing the screen space with Salman, reports Times of India.

‘The producers and directors should come up with a good script ....Inshallah if there is a chance we will work together. If it happens good, and if it doesn’t, then also it is ok,’ Shah Rukh said, when asked if there is a possibility to see both the Khans together in a film.

‘We don’t have angst against each other. It is just that hamare raaste alag hai! (we follow different paths). We have no ego issues between us. We both respect each other and our families,’ he added.

Shah Rukh and Salman, who had teamed up in ‘Karan Arjun’ in 1995, had not been on talking terms since 2008 following an incident at Katrina Kaif’s birthday bash that year. The split only seemed to widen as the two Khans are in no mood to call a truce.

However, earlier this year during an iftar party hosted by Congress leader Baba Siddiqui, Shah Rukh and Salman hugged each other, though both the actors called it just a gesture.

One can recollect that during the premiere and after the party for late filmmaker Yash Chopra’s film ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ the three ruling Khans - Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir were present together.

‘There was a pendant my mom used to wear before she passed away...that’s precious. It has got my mom and dad’s picture...I wear it sometimes,’ he said.

Lady Gaga surprises audience with naked gig

The “Applause” singer stripped completely at G.A.Y nightclub in London last weekend, surprising the audience. Although her plan sent her aides into shock, the 27-year-old singer felt compelled to do it as an artistic expression.

During an interview with UK station Radio 1, she said: “I was performing my song ‘Venus’ for the first time and the label was having a meltdown as I was telling them I wanted to do this (get naked).”

“I was performing at GAY and wanted to give them ‘Venus’ as a thank-you for always being there for me and supporting me in the beginning at one of my earlier gigs.”

“It was just so natural to me, in the painting (Birth of Venus) by Botticelli, she’s naked, she’s spawned from the sea and the painting has been inspiring me.”

“It just happened, I feel safe at certain points to do things like that. I just wanted to be nude and feel the spirit of Venus, come out of the painting and sing.”

Gaga, 27, insists her new album “ARTPOP” is a development of her art and she is adamant she will never let people dismiss her pop music as something that is not important.

She added: “What I am on stage is always affected by the fans - ‘ARTPOP’ is about showing my artistic process. People think there is no artistic process and I should just shut up and sing pop songs.’’

Shahrukh Khan Blocks 2014 Diwali to Release ‘Happy New Year’

Ever since releasing “Chennai Express” on Eid, Shahrukh Khan doesn’t want to let go of his luck with holiday releases. SRK and Farah Khan have blocked Diwali 2014 for the release of their new movie “Happy New Year.”

Khan has blocked 2014 Diwali for the film’s debut. “Happy New Year” also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah.

Salman Khan also wanted block 2014 Diwali for the release of his new movie, however, since SRK beat him to it, he has blocked next year's Republic day (January 26) for his movie“Mental.” Next year, Salman Khan’s movie “Kick” is also set to release on Eid (July 28).

“Happy New Year” is Farah Khan’s long time project and has prepared the script a while ago. Farah and Shahrukh Khan have delivered hits like “Om Shanti Om” and “Main Hoon Naa” and the duo has set to deliver another Bollywood hit.

‘Chennai Express’ smashes Indian box office records

Bollywood movie “Chennai Express,” starring Shah Rukh Khan, has smashed box office records in just 21 days since it opened to become the most profitable movie in India, data showed.

The film, which has a typical Bollywood mix of action, romance and comedy, has overtaken previous record-holder “3 Idiots” which appeared in 2009 to collect at least 2.11 billion rupees ($30 million) domestically, according to trade weekly Box Office India.

The co-producers of “Chennai Express,” Disney UTV, put the figure at a slightly higher 2.18 billion rupees.

In India, unlike Hollywood, there is no central data service for box office takings so there is often a discrepancy in the figures, but both estimates surpass the domestic collection of “3 Idiots,” which made a net total of 2.02 billion rupees.

“’Chennai Express’ has broken all records for domestic business and is still gong strong in its theatrical run. A good film, good timing and good luck have contributed to its success,” Vajir Singh, editor of Box Office India, told AFP.

He said sales were buoyed by a number of public holidays in the first three weeks of release and a strong promotion effort by superstar Khan.

Also starring popular actress Deepika Padukone, the film tells the story of a 40-year-old man who gets embroiled in the dealings of a south Indian don when he rescues his runaway daughter from thugs aboard the Chennai Express train to southern India.

Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film was released in more than 3,500 cinemas in India — more than double the number in which “3 Idiots” opened in 2009.

“We have pushed the film across language barriers into regions like Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala where Hindi is not the primary language. This film has been appreciated by families and has a repeat audience,” said Gaurav Verma, director of Indian distributions at Disney UTV.

The film may also break international Bollywood records. It is reportedly the mostly widely released Bollywood film of all time, and has already made $16.8 million abroad in gross box office collections, according to the producers.

“3 Idiots,” a coming-of-age comic-drama starring Aamir Khan, collected $23.90 million abroad, according to Box Office India, making it the Indian highest grosser abroad and overall.

In a recent interview with AFP, Shah Rukh Khan said he was not concerned with box office records.

“I cannot be going by that standard. I am the creative guy. I am an actor first and last, I don’t think like that,” he said.

What advice did Katrina offer Deepika?

Looks like it’s impossible for Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone to stay cordial even as colleagues. Not long ago, Deepika gave a wise advice to her ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor’s current girlfriend Katrina. Talking about the bikini episode, Dippy had said in an interview, “It has never happened with me. I believe if you are a celebrity or public figure… these things are bound to happen. And I don’t think you can accuse anybody of anything. If I am a public figure and if someone has captured me then I feel I should have been a little careful.” It seems Ms Kaif wasn’t too happy with her arch rival’s advice.

The Dhoom 3 babe is believed to have said that Deepika should keep her words of wisdom to herself. Apparently, Kat thought that a similar incident could happen with DP in future as she too is allegedly seeing an actor and we all know it’s her Ram Leela co-star Ranveer Singh. Wethinks, Katrina has made a very valid point here! After all, we remember how Ms Padukone and Ranveer were snapped in Dubai, don’t we?

Annoyed Kat Wants Deepika to Shut Up over Her Bikini Photos with Ranbir

Katrina Kaif was left fuming after her bikini photos with Ranbir Kapoor during a holiday leaked to the media. And just when the actress was coping up with the 'bikni' fiasco, arch-rival Deepika Padukone did the unthinkable by saying that Katrina should have been more careful.

The "Cocktail" actress added salt to the wounds by expressing her opinion on the leaked photos to PTI: "It has never happened with me. I believe if you are a celebrity or public figure... these things are bound to happen. And I don't think you can accuse anybody of anything. If I am a public figure and if someone has captured me then I feel I should have been a little careful."

For Katrina, who has already faced the ire of Ranbir's father Rishi Kapoor in this context, Deepika's untimely comment did the worse. The "Ek Ta Tiger" actress has reportedly not taken the advice in good taste.

"Katrina has sent out a loud and clear message to her confidantes that Deepika needs to shut up because she is sailing in the same boat. Katrina feels that paparazzi can click Deepika too if and when she lets her guard down.

Katrina's gentle warning for Deepika Padukone

Forget and forgive seems to be a popular mantra in Bollywood (Shah Rukh and Salman's patch-up is a much cited example) this season but tinseltown's leading ladies, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone remain at loggerheads and the spat seems to be getting uglier. An obvious reason for their distaste for each other is a certain Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika's ex and Katrina's current flame.

Though Katrina and Ranbir have recently been spotted together in Ibiza and Sri Lanka, we wonder if Katrina has been able to forget Deepika's 'lingering kiss' with her boyfriend at the success party of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

And with Deepika's rising star, professional rivalry too has become an important factor in their already fraught relationship.

With the blockbuster Chennai Express in her kitty, Deepika has become the only actress to cross the Rs. 500 crore mark in a single year ( Race 2, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express) surpassing competitors, Katrina and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Katrina is a distant second with Rs. 319.63 crore in 2012 (Ek Tha Tiger and Jab Tak Hai Jaan) and Kareena Kapoor at third, whose movies amassed Rs. 263.15 crores in 2011 (Bodyguard and Ra.One).

Add to this the fact that Katrina does not have any films lined up this year while Deepika has two biggies on the anvil- Kochadiyan and Ram Leela.

According to a source close to Katrina, it was Deepika's recent 'holier than thou' comment on the bikini episode, which has incensed the actress.

After pictures of Katrina's beach holiday with Ranbir Kapoor were splashed across newspapers, Deepika decided to give her rival some very public advice during a press conference.

"It has never happened to me. I believe if you are a celebrity or public figure... these things are bound to happen. And I don't think you can accuse anybody of anything. If I am a public figure and if someone has captured me then I feel I should have been a little careful," said Deepika.

And now Katrina has been telling her friends and family that Deepika should learn to keep her 'words of wisdom' to herself.

A friend of Deepika spoke to TOI on the condition of anonymity about the bad blood between the two beauties, "Katrina has sent out a loud and clear message to her confidantes that Deepika needs to shut up because she is sailing in the same boat. Katrina feels that paparazzi can click Deepika too if and when she lets her guard down."

"Katrina's latest grouse against Deepika stems from the fact that Deepika should understand her plight because she too was clicked by the paparazzi in Dubai with Ranveer kissing her in front of guests at a night club. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones."

It’s official, she’s now Kareena Kapoor Khan

Kareena Kapoor, who tied the knot with actor Saif Ali Khan amidst much fanfare last year, is finally making it fully official.

In the credits of her upcoming film' Satyagraha', the actress' name will appear as Kareena Kapoor Khan for the first time since her marriage.

In the film, Kareena plays a fearless and independent television reporter, who goes all out to expose the truth.Says a source from the unit, "Kareena has essayed the role with panache and style. And, yes, the credits will have her name as Kareena Kapoor Khan."

Satyagraha, produced by UTV Motion Pictures and Prakash Jha Productions, releases Friday.

Britney Spears busy with 'secret' work

Singer Britney Spears has left her fans curious as she has revealed that she is busy working on something "secret".

The 31-year-old, who has given hits like "Baby one more time", "Ooops! I did it again" and "You drive me crazy", hinted at something new on her plate, without revealing the actual plan, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Taking a quick break to say hi to all my tweeps. Rehearsing for something top secret happening next week," Spears posted.

When a fan asked if it was for a video, Spears replied by posting a wink.

Chennai Express 2? Shah Rukh Khan confirms he will be doing another film with Rohit Shetty

With their Eid release Chennai Express making the fastest Rs100 crore, both Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty are naturally rejoicing. And as everyone knows about the B-Town’s love for sequels, seems this one may have one soon in the pipeline.

While there is no confirmation from Rohit, who starts shooting for Singham 2 in December, SRK shares that two are likely to come together for a film again next year. However, that may not be a sequel. “Some other film maybe, inshah Allah!Recently we (Rohit, Deepika Padukone and I) were driving back and we realized that we will not see each other as regularly after all this? And I told them I am feeling bad, as did Rohit and Deepika. So, Rohit asked if he should already start writing something, so that will give us something to look forward to. Even if it’s a year later, Rohit has said he will work on something.”

Chennai Express reaches Rs 157-crore station in one week

Chennai Express has broken yet another record. The Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone romantic-action-comedy has surpassed Ek Tha Tiger's first week domestic collections with Rs 156.7 crore (gross collection). This is nearly Rs 18 crore more than Salmna Khan's spy-romance collected in one week of its release last year. The movie has raked in healthy box office collections overseas as well at Rs 72 crores in nine days.

 

Chennai Express' success however has not been carried on at the box office by Balaji Motion Pictures Ltd's (BMPL) Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobara (OUATIMD). The Akshay Kumar-Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha starrer opened on 15 August in 1700 screens with collections if Rs 14.2 crores, according to a statement provided by the production house. While the national holiday benefited the gangster movie sequel, Friday occupancy saw a massive dip at just 40 percent as compared to nearly 90 per cent occupancy on opening day. This despite the fact that OUATIMD was present across nearly 2700 screens from Friday.

Katrina Kaif is Not on Aditya Chopra’s Good Books Anymore!

Deepika bags 'Happy New Year' opposite Shah Rukh Khan

After endless speculation as to who will be the leading lady in Shah Rukh Khan's home production, 'Happy New Year', we hear his 'Chennai Express' heroine Deepika Padukone is the final choice. The film, directed by Farah Khan, is slated to go on floors in September 2014.

A lot of speculation happened because several contestants who were vying for the role, kept giving out unofficial, 'I'm the chosen one' stories at regular intervals. Though Deepika was always the front-runner, she remained silent because her dates were being worked out. Even now, she has refrained from commenting.

Deepika shares a special relationship with Farah and SRK. They are the ones who were instrumental in giving Dippy her big break with Om Shanti Om (2007), a film that holds the record of being one of the highest grossers overseas.

P.S. Deepika is also likely to start shooting for Imtiaz Ali's film with Ranbir Kapoor in January 2014.

Padukone made her acting debut with the 2006 Kannada film Aishwarya. The following year, she played the lead female role in the reincarnation melodrama Om Shanti Om; the film proved a major commercial success and earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.

She was later noted for portraying modern, independent women in several commercially successful films, including the 2009 romance Love Aaj Kal, the 2010 comedy Housefull, the 2012 romantic comedy Cocktail and the 2013 coming-of-age film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (the third highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time).

Padukone's performance in Cocktail earned her unanimous critical appreciation and Best Actress nominations at several award ceremonies (including Filmfare). She has thus established herself as a leading contemporary actress of Hindi cinema.[5] Her personal life has been the subject of fervent tabloid reporting in the Indian media.

Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor have never admitted to being anything more than co-stars. Though there were pictures of them holidaying abroad recently, their lunch with moms (his and her) in London, they have dodged questions about their relationship and have gone out of the way not to be seen together. 

They’d arrive and leave separately at events/parties to continue the carefully-built-charade of being together. On Friday, the duo came together for a special screening of Lootera. Both Kat and RK hadn’t seen the film when it released two weeks ago. 

Despite knowing that the papparazzi is usually present, the couple arrived together. While Ranbir was sitting in the front seat with the driver, Kat was behind. She didn’t attempt to cover her face or duck to avoid being clicked, Ranbir too seemed to be in an awfully good mood and even gave the thumbs up sign to the paps. Which raises the question if the pair are finally ready to come out in the open.

Monalisa again in acting

After a break of few months, popular TV actress and model Monalisa again started acting in the small screen.

I have agreed to perform in this serial as Sagor bhai's written story was attracted me. Story of the serial is really nice. Therefore Mosharraf bhai is one of my favourite actors. I have enjoyed working with him. In this serial, Tania apu and Faruk bhai have also worked. I believe viewers will enjoy the serial.”

While talking about Monalisa, Mosharraf Karim said, “Mona is a talented actress. I think actress like her should always remain active in the field of acting. She shouldn’t deprive the viewers to watch her acting.”

This special serial will go on air on Banglavision on the occasion of upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr. Basically “Sikandar Box Ekhon Birat Model” is sequel of “Sikandar Box Ekhon Onek Boro,” which was aired on the occasion of Banglavision’s founding anniversary.

Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan hug at Iftar party!

Friends-turned-foes Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan hugged and made up at an iftaar party hosted by Baba Siddiqui at a five star hotel in Mumbai on Sunday evening.

SRK and Salman Khan thus ended their five years of rivalry.

TV reports showed Salman patting SRK on his shoulder, who was sitting next to Salim Khan, to hug his Karan Arjun co-star, thus ending their infamous rivalry.

SRK later took to Twitter and wrote: "Finally u realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world, becos there is so much more to the book than the page u were stuck on."

Salman and Shah Rukh Khan had never spoken to each other ever since their brawl at the birthday party of Katrina Kaif.

The two have avoided each other in public as well.

Bollywood's two biggest stars have in the past taken digs at each other; sometimes directly, and obliquely at others.

Fired with a dream In conversation with Apu Biswas

Apu Biswas first arrived on the silver screen with a small role in the 2005 movie “Kaal Shokale”.

It didn't take her long to make a name for herself, as offers to play the leading lady in many films came flooding in. Her on-screen pairing up with Shakib Khan also acted as a catalyst for her rapid success in the Dhaliwood scene. Talent and hard work paid off, as Apu is now considered the top movie actress of today.

During her seven-year career, Apu has paired up with Shakib in nearly 40 movies -- all of which have been box office successes. The actress claims that the popularity and the repeated commercial success of the Shakib-Apu pairing have influenced producers and directors to cast them in so many films.

The actress however claims that a sole individual cannot claim the entire credit for all the successes. Admitting that Shakib has a huge appeal to movie-goers, Apu asserts that it takes a united effort to make a movie a success.

Several films featuring her are waiting to be released, the most talked about of which is “Debdas”. The role of Parbati will be played by the actress, while the eponymous role will be played by Shakib. Apu says she is very optimistic about the success of “Debdas”, adding that she expects large crowds to throng the halls when the film is released.

The last Eid saw only one release featuring Apu -- “Dhakar King”, directed by Safiuddin Safi. Speaking about the movie, Apu says that she has only received good reports on “Dhakar King” so far. “People close to me are calling me with positive reviews of the film,” Apu says, adding that her dedicated fans all went to watch the film. “I went to a theatre to watch the movie on the second day of Eid, but had to came out after an hour due to the huge crowd inside the hall,” adds Apu.

The star feels that an actress should only have a single release during a major festival like Eid -- to ensure that it is a commercial success. Two films featuring Apu may be released during Eid-ul-Adha: Badiul Alam Khokon's “100 Percent Love” and MB Manik's “Durdhorsho Premik”. “Debdas” may also be released around that time, she adds.

Apu is currently working on several films. She has penned agreements for Nazrul Islam Khan's “Moner Thikana” and three more untitled projects. Asked on her dwindling film projects, Apu answers that all actors are getting less film assignments as fewer movies are made annually. Only 40 movies are now made each year, compared to a 100 that were made before, she adds.

A constant dreamer, Apu likes to plan ahead. Her plans for the future include working in films with good plots, so that her place is cemented in the hearts of the audience.

Despite her busy shooting schedule, Apu makes time to go to the gym 10 days a month. She claims that she has been able to make significant changes with better care of her health.

When asked for her opinion on the recent changes in the trend of movie plots, direction and audience expectations, Apu says that the viewers want something fresh, as they are tired of the same locations and storyline. “Such expectations are natural,” Apu claims.

The star further points out that her greatest gain from the film industry is the love of her countless fans. Such admiration has come her way solely by working in films, Apu concludes.

Gaga top earning celebrity under 30

Despite hip surgery that forced the cancellation of part of her tour, Lady Gaga still earned an estimated US$80 million in the past year, propelling her to the top of Forbes list of highest earning celebrities under 30 years old.

Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber, who made headlines as much for his antics off stage as on, came in a distant second with an estimated income of US$58 million.

Singer Taylor Swift was third, pulling in US$55 million, about US$2 million less than last year when she topped the list, reports The Straits Times.

DJ, songwriter and producer Calvin Harris, who played more than 150 shows from June 2012-June 2013 and earned US$46 million, was fourth on the list, and Barbados-born pop star Rihanna rounded out the top five with earnings of US$43 million.

‘I am shy, but many don’t believe that’-Nargis Fakhri

‘I am impressed on how things are changing and very rapidly I must say. I’m glad I have come into the industry at this point in time.

Sanjay loses last court appeal

Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt, who is in jail for arms possession, lost his final appeal on Tuesday against a decision by the Supreme Court to uphold his conviction.

Dutt, 53, surrendered in May to serve the remaining three-and-a-half years of a five-year term in a case linked to the deadly 1993 Mumbai bombings after the Supreme Court reaffirmed his conviction.

‘The (appeal) petition has been rejected,’ a senior court official, who could not be named, told media, adding the actor had now exhausted the appeal process against his conviction.

Dutt had filed a so-called ‘curative’ petition, arguing there were legal errors in the Supreme Court’s March ruling upholding his conviction, reports The Straits Times.
