Professional jealous

The two blue-eyed actresses were seen quarreling with each other in front of their common patron, Ram Gopal Verma. Every one is aware that Urmila Matondar is the first discovery of Ramu. He patronized her. However, Ramu shifted from her and preferred Antara Mali later. How could Urmila bear it? She thought that Antara is responsible for creating a gap between her and her mentor Ramu. Recently, Urmila went to see Ramu, who was found sitting along Antara discussing his latest movie 'Naach' starring Antara. This enraged Urmila who asked Antara to leave Ramu and her alone. Antara sought time to complete her discussion and then quit. Urmila turned crazy and started shouting at Antara, presumably she could not tolerate her junior to dare say this. However, Ramu made peace between them.

Salman wins Shilpa

Salman may have failed with many Bollywood girls to win their hearts, but has succeeded in impressing his latest love Shilpa Shetty. Both of them have been admiring each other. This was witnessed during the shoot of 'Garv' starring Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty. Shilpa says, " Salman is very good at heart". Salman is not behind in praising Shilpa, and is trying to get her many a film offer. This is good for both-Salman has a girlfriend in Shilpa and the latter a patron to get her more films.

Will Bipasha be out?

The way the audience is rejecting the films with indecent show of skin, it appears the sexy girl Bipasha might go out of the film world. A recent survey of films with extreme body exposure shows that the viewers are tired of them and are turning allergic to them. The survey is based on the response to the recent movies like 'Ajnabi', 'Raaj', 'Jaanasheen', and 'Oops'. Besides, Bipasha's 'Aetbaar' and 'Ishq Hai Tumse' flopped at the box office despite her best efforts to present her as the sexiest bomb of Bollywood. This is enough for Bipasha to learn to change her style; otherwise she might be out of the movie world.

SALMAN DOING 2 FILMS WITH SHILPA

The angry young man of Bollywood is humouros too. While he is known as the most controversial man, he has certain plus points also. Since, his licence was seized by the traffic police for committing murder on road by rash driving, Salman has been now cycling to the studio for shooting. He has a number of acting offers. He has been busy earlier in his home production titled 'Lucky No Time For Love' soon after his return from Russia; Salman will devote his full attention to the shoot of 'Garv-Pride And Honor'.

He has been very happy with the positive response he got for his latest screened movie 'Tere Naam'. He may have lost to Miss world Aishwarya Rai, but he has now on his side a well-known item girl. Though no need to mention her name, she is Shilpa Shetty. Salman is doing films with Shilpa and they are 'Shaadi Kar ke Phus Gaya Re' and 'Garv'. Salman said that though he has played a cop in both films--- 'Patthar Ke Phool' of his young age and 'Garv' when he has matured, there is a huge difference between the two characters. Yes, he is right. He has definitely improved his acting since then. The character of a cop in the latter movies indicates the maturity of the actor.

Preity prettier in saree

Preity Zinta is the most popular face in Bollywood these days. People wait anxiously to see him on any occasion. Recently she was spotted at an awards ceremony to bag one. But everyone was shocked though with joy. They saw their young pretty heroine in an unusual dress. She was wearing a saree this time. No body had ever watched her in a saree. This prompted even Jaya Bachchan there to go near her and wish her in saree. Jaya congratulated her looking very sweet in saree than any other dress. Preity confessed that she had worn saree for the first time in her life.

Now, Shah Rukh will endorse good health  

Bollywood superstar to feature in 3 public health spots, shot by Health Ministry and UNICEF
  
NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 3: Besides endorsing colas, biscuits and cars on TV, you will now see Shah Rukh Khan in a new avtar梩his time, selling good health. Starting tomorrow, the Bollywood superstar will deliver three public service messages on child immunisation.

The campaign, shot jointly by the Health Ministry and UNICEF, follows the success of Amitabh Bachchan抯 appearance for the fight against polio. 憫Shah Rukh Khan is a mass icon. Immunisation is a message for young parents especially children, and he is popular with both,拻 said P K Hota, Secretary, Health.  

While polio campaigns have gained momentum, routine immunisation梡rotecting infants from six diseases梙as not shown any improvement in the past three decades. According to latest data, only 53 per cent children are fully immunised in the country. The situation is worse in Bihar (11.6 pc), Rajasthan (17.3 pc) and UP (22 pc).

憫If you need immediate impact, associating a health message with an icon rather than a faceless worker translates into behavioural change,拻 said an official.

In fact, the Health Ministry抯 household survey on polio showed that ural population associated the polio campaign with Bachchan. 憫When asked how they got to know about it, they said 憈hrough Amitabh Bachchan抯 message on TV

Sushmita dazzles

After the way she made the sari an object of irresistibility in Main Hoon Na, mere mentions of sensuality bring Sushmita Sen's stunning image to mind.

Fashion designer Gazala was lucky to have Sush take to the ramp for a charity fashion show. With the proceeds going to AIDS patients, the show was held at a Mumbai hotel this weekend.

Sush sparkled in a sheer embroidered sari, and is seen here with her daughter, Renee.

Abhishek Bachchan also made an appearance at the do, as did Juhi Chawla and her husband Jai Mehta.

Sushmita in talks over Hollywood film with Gere  

Mumbai: Hollywood actor Richard Gere and former Miss Universe and Bollywood star Sushmita Sen are set to act together in a major Hollywood film.

"Sushmita will be acting in a movie in which Richard Gere is also playing a big role," said Neelam, Sen's secretary.

She did not give details but said Sen was in Singapore to negotiate details of the contract.

The Daily News and Analysis quoted Sen as confirming the role. "Yes, I won't deny it. Things are not on paper yet," Sen told the daily on Monday.

"All I can say is that it is a major Hollywood studio production and I will be acting with Richard Gere. In another two months, I shall give you the minutest details."

The paper also quoted Sen as saying she had bagged a project with Robert De Niro's daughter but did not give details.

Shah Rukh Khan's public interest campaign

Shah Rukh Khan will be seen in yet another ad. This time it is not a beauty soap or a cola endorsement but a public service ad for polio prevention. This campaign has been shot by the Health Ministry and UNICEF. He will be a part of three messages that will educate the public about child immunization. The state of affairs relating to health is not so good in the country. Only 53% of the children are immune. Considering the craze for Bollywood stars in the country, Shah Rukh is the ideal choice for this campaign.

Khan will appear as different characters in the ads. In the first ad, he plays a co-passenger, driver and conductor, in the second ad he plays a doctor, a wardboy and a compounder and in the last ad he plays a south Indian at a cinema and then a ticket checker. Officials are confident that the presence of Shah Rukh Khan will generate awareness. At least it's a start.

Bachchan to play Rajnikant's role in Chandramukhi?

When it comes to remaking the phenomenal hit from Tamil cinema, Chandramukhi, in Hindi, the filmmakers can only think of Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role that Rajnikant played in the original.

The new Rajnikant fantasy Chandramukhi (no relation to the Salman Khan dud of the same name!) has already grossed over Rs 700 million across the southern state. And it is still rocking.

The film, originally made in Malayalam as Manichitrathazhu in 1993 and in Kannada as Aapta Mitra in 2003, was turned into a Tamil-Telugu money-spinner in 2004.

Now the coveted Hindi rights of Chandramukhi have gone to South's well-known ad maker Narren Aditya. A hefty sum of Rs 10 million exchanged hands between the producer Appachan, who owns copyrights for the original and Hyderabad's affluent production house Creative Commercials, before Chandramukhi  was Narren Aditya's to film in Hindi.

And now Narren is stationed in Mumbai to finalise Bollywood's behemoth for the Hindi Chandramukhi.

"It will have to be none other than Mr Amitabh Bachchan," he told IANS.

"No one has the stature and superstardom to carry off a role of such immeasurable fantasy and flamboyance. I don't think I can make the Hindi Chandramukhi unless Mr. Bachchan agrees to play the lead," said Narren who has so far only made ad films.

"I won't rest easy until Mr Bachchan says yes."

"Now I'm suddenly making two films in Hindi. One is Chandramukhi. And the other is an epic love story that I've named Saaz. It is set during the Goan liberation movement. It's the story of a Goan boy, a Goan girl and a Portuguese officer."

Sahara is to produce the film.

Narren hasn't decided on the rest of the cast. But he has found the young actor whom he considers to be the best bet for the young Goan lover-boy. "The minute I saw Sammir Dattani, I immediately knew he was the face for the lead in Saaz. It's a face that tempts the camera. I'd certainly like him to play the lead."

Biking is John Abraham's passion

John Abraham says he enjoys long nighttime motorcycle rides when he's not shooting a film.

The actor says he fell in love with bikes when he was 10, but only got to ride one for the first time when he turned 12. "My cousin had a great bike ... I fell in love with bikes since then," a newspaper quoted Abraham as saying. Of course, ride motorcycles long enough, and you're bound to take a few spills. Abraham's first came when he tried a few stunts, including the ever-popular "wheelie."

Abraham said he makes sure he rides at least twice a week around one or two in the morning, adding that Bipasha Basu indulges him.

"She doesn't mind. She understands my passion," said Abraham.

SETBACK TO AAMIR'S MARRIAGE

Soon after the premiere of ' The Rising-Mangal Pandey' in London, Aamir Khan announced that he would marry on December 28th this year with her girlfriend Kiran Rao. Though she already has a live in relationship with him, yet the marriage news seems to have had a setback . Sources close to Aamir haven't reacted to this news. Industry circles wonder if the marriage setback is due to reports from London saying that he has fathered a child there from a British journalist. Anyway, it's true that Kiran has been staying at Aamir's bungalow at Pali Hills in Mumbai for quite some time.

Incidentally, Aamir had accepted her at an international film festival last year. This is to recall that Aamir divorced his wife Reena who has two children from him, presumably for this reason. Kiran hails from Delhi where she got educated academically followed by professional lessons in journalism. She had a stint with Reuters, and left it for the film industry. First, director Ashutosh Gowarikar utilized her talent as his assistant director in 'Lagaan' starring Aamir Khan. Thus, she came close to Aamir and then both worked together in 'Saathiya' and 'Swades'.

Koirala in Nepalese 'Mother India'

Recall Mehboob Khan's 'Mother India' starring Nargis and Sunil Dutt. This was made more than four decades ago, and was based on the epic story of a village family's struggle. Now, the same is being made in Nepalese under the title of 'Nepal Amma'. Manisha Koirala is playing the central character of Radha ( Nargis) , according to Nepalese actor-director Neer Shah. Only two members of the cast have been selected so far. Shah will himself play the part of the villain (moneylender) Lala, who was the cause of much of the woes of Nargis and her family. The director has not been chosen as yet for the film that will first be shot in Nepalese and then dubbed in Hindi. Indian village dance, such as, Nautanki, will be added to it to meet today's demand of the audience.

Aftab's new love

The chocolate hero Aftab Shivdasani is in love. No, Shamita Shetty is his past now. It is said that the new girl in his life is so beautiful and sexy that she keeps Aftaab always smiling (giving Muskaan). He has been in the UK for a month shooting for his movie 'Shukriya' (Thank you). He says his parents bought him a jet black Mercedez on his birthday. Incidentally, the family has a special significance for the figure 25 as their parents birthdays also fall on 25th, though of different months.

NRI to make Aamir-starrer

Angad Paul, a management expert, has announced the launch of a film in Hindi and English, which will star Aamir Khan in the lead role. Producer of the highly acclaimed British film "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch", Paul is son of an NRI industrialist Lord Swaraj Paul. According to Angad, the movie 'Rang De Basanti' (paint it yellow) is the story of the youth of today juxtaposed against the youth that fought for India's freedom. This is to recall that this song was on the lips of freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh and his colleague Raj Guru, who were hanged during the British rule. They sang this song before being hanged. The shooting of the movie will commence in October this year. Paul, Nilesh Dadhich and Rakeysh Mehra will head the cast, and the production would be under the banner of MPD Films. Mehra has made over 200 commercials in his 15-year-long career as an ad man. Both Paul and Dadhich are NRIs

Akshay says no to anti-Pak movies

Bollywood film khiladi Akshay Kumar has said that he is not interested in acting in propaganda movies that show either India or Pakistan in poor light. It is learnt that the Bollywood khiladi bowled Pakistanis over with his charming responses at a recent tete-a-tete. In his usual style, he cracked jokes, laughed and kept switching from English to Urdu to Punjabi. He told the media that his first visit to Pakistan "was like a dream come true".

Priyanshu happy in Sippy's 'Woh'

Priyanshu Chatterji is already four -film old, yet he admits that he doesn't know much about Bollywood. He acted in 'Tum Bin' (his debut), 'Dil Ka Rishta', 'Aap Ko Pahle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai' and 'Pinjar'. He was lucky to get favorable reviews for his performances. But he felt sorry that he was missing in the movie's publicity (promos). He says he got the best offer in 'Woh', and very much likes Raj Sippy who gave him a good deal of freedom unlike Anubhav Sinha who directed his two movies but did not allow him to interact at all.

Raveena follows Karisma

After marriage Raveena's TV serial on Sahara Manoranjan has hit the small screen. She has followed in the footsteps of Karisma Kapoor and Sridevi.

The star cast includes Raveena, fresh from her marriage, Ayub Khan and newcomer Rajesh Shringarpure playing the pivotal role of Bhootnath, This is to recall that these roles were earlier played by the legendaries like Guru Dutt and Uttam Kumar.

Raveena Tandon expressed her great pleasure in working in a serial like this. She said, " It's a great challenge as minute details are to be taken care of."

COP AKSHAY AS AVATAR OF DHARMENDRA

Akshay Kumar is being described as an avatar of Dharmendra. He is very optimistic about 2004. His hands are full with a number of good movies, and two of them are big ones and are antithetical films titled 'Bewafaa' and 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'. He is busy trying to complete work on a third film 'Aan: Men At Work', that has been hanging for quite some time. 'Khakee' has proved to be a turning point in his career though earlier he considered that Suneel Darshan's 'Jaanwar' had been a turning point in his filmi life. After 'Khakee', the critics declared that Akshay could hold on his own in spite of a formidable cast.

He is proud of his performance of a cop in 'Khakee'. But he gives the credit to his director Raj Santoshi for making his character so complete. Akshay says, "I play a cop in 'Police Force' and 'Aan'. But they are different from each other and from 'Khakee'. Why? He answers, "Apart from the colour of my uniform, there's no similarity among the three films. That's quite a change from my pre-'Jaanwar' days when I used to have a cop's uniform hanging constantly in my make-up van. Playing a cop in 'Khakee', 'Police Force' and 'Aan' and playing the same role in my earlier films were two entirely different experiences for me, as I'm sure they are for the audience."
