Stress between Shahrukh and Anubhav on RAONE







As it happens with all big films when there are talks about tension between the director and the actor around 'creative inputs', RA.ONE too has presumably gone through the same route. While Anubhav has maintained a brave front here, there have been speculations galore around his working equation with Shahrukh ever since the film went on floors. A 'no comments' stance from either of the two only ignited the rumours further. One wonders whether Anubhav would continue to maintain silence or is willing to share his thought around this.

"Koi theek se poochega toh apna thought bataoonga naa? Most of the people who ask me just want to make a controversy out of it," Anubhav is willing to share a laugh here, "As you can see I am visibly quite happy. Shahrukh and I have enjoyed a four year long association and we know the kind of personal and professional equation that we share."







However there have been constant rumours around Shahrukh being the prime decision maker even though Anubhav is in the director's seat.

"I know where you are coming from but let me settle some misconceptions here," Anubhav begins to explain, "See, the role of a producer is rather ill defined in our industry. In a typical scenario, it ends after the producer is through putting the entire setup together and made sure that a film is made at a minimum possible cost together. This is not the case with Shahrukh and that's what makes him a real producer."

How exactly?

"Well, he is someone who has hired a director to make the most ambitious film ever. Then he has made sure that his and director's vision match and further to that, given him all the support which helps the film in maximum possible way. When a producer does that, it is called involvement rather than interference. I would rather want to look at it that way. If anyone wants to blow it out of proportion, it's his choice," he says
We get the point, Anubhav.

Interview with Sundeep Kishan Sundeep Kishan Interview





Interview



'I don't want Sundeep Kishan to be a brand'



SUNDEEP KISHAN

SUNDEEP KISHAN
Sundeep Kishan has just made his Bollywood debut with SHOR - IN THE CITY. Without the customary introduction, we ask the actor to introduce himself in the interview. Read on to find more about him and his film, SHOR IN THE CITY.

Tell us a bit about yourself
As self-obsessed as it might sound talking about myself (smiles), I'm a Telegu boy born and brought up in Chennai. I worked as an assistant director there for a year with Mr. Gautam Menon. Then I started off with Telegu films. My first film PRASTHANAM did very well critically. I also got many best debut awards for it. My second one SNEHAGEETHAM made a lot of money. I'm the face of 7 UP for Tamil Nadu for the IPL.

So how popular are you down south?
I can go ahead and tell you that I'm a rocking superstar. I have a niche audience and I'm known as a performer. Both my films have done well and I'm at least known as a credible actor.

How did you bag a role in SHOR IN THE CITY?
It was quite a surprise. Luck has never favoured me, but in this case it seems to have. I saw the movie 99 and was totally in love with it. The directors (Raj and DK) had apparently seen me playing cricket somewhere. They had also seen rushes of my film, PRASTHANAM. I met them at an audio launch film of a Telugu film. I said 'I loved your film 99. It was a kickass film'. They asked how good my Hindi was. I told them it was very good and I could work on it if required. And the rest is history.

How is it to work with Balaji Productions in your debut film?
Until I came to Mumbai, I didn't know it was a Balaji production. I did the film only because of Raj and DK. When I came to know that it was a Balaji production, I was double happy.

Tell us a bit about your role in SHOR IN THE CITY.
I play a vey lovable and relatable guy in SHOR. I play a wannabe Tendulkar. I'm sure every 20-year-old middle class boy has a problem with his girlfriend or his ambition. I have trouble with both. I have a girlfriend who I make out with at the Reclamation fly over. I also take to crime due to circumstances.











Are you playing the main lead in SHOR? I don't know how you define lead. There are three stories running throughout the film. All have equal screen space. One story is mine. One is of Tusshar, Nikhil and Pitabash and one is of Sendhil.

You are hardly seen in the film's promo.
A promo is basically for people to come to the film. If I'm in the promo asking people to come and watch the film, how many would want to listen to me? If Tusshar is in it, people will at least listen to what he's saying. If what he says makes sense, people would come to the theatres. Tusshar's track has more recognised faces.

How was your experience working with Raj and DK? They are amazing. I'm not saying this because this is my movie and I'm working with them. I have worked as an Assistant director. But I haven't seen someone with such vision. They are very chilled out. They are like two kids who are playing and enjoying themselves. I want to be in every film that they direct.

Do you think the Bollywood audience will accept you?
I think they'll accept my character. As long as they accept my role and my character, I'm accepted. I'm only persistent on my role getting accepted. As an actor I don't want Sundeep Kishan to be a brand. I want to make the roles that I play work. In the end automatically credibility sells.

Any actresses with whom you would like to work with? Out of the younger lot, there is a whole bunch of actresses I would want to work with. Anushka Sharma is brilliant. Deepika Padukone is mind-blowing. Neha Dhupia is extremely hot. I want to work with co-stars who help my performance. When they give a good dialogue, I can respond well. All these actresses are hardworking. I want to be in a position when they believe that I will equally respond well to them and help them.

How can a corporate employee stay fit with exercise crucial eating habits for the corporate employee How to Stay Fit As a Corporate Employee stay fit and healthy as a good Corporate Employee


How to Stay Fit As a Corporate Employee
Unlike those who have flexible jobs and schedules, the life of a corporate employee is chained to the company's time table. But does this mean that corporate emplyees don't have any freedom to get fit and stay fit? Today we're looking at how a 9 to 9 corporate employee can stay fit despite working long hours. One of the good things about corporate jobs is that they are consistent on the most part. It is easier to have an eating plan and a fitness routine if you work hours that are more or less fixed and you have a daily routine in place. Here are some ways to stay healthy as a corporate employee.

Let's begin with three crucial eating habits for the corporate employee:
Pack a lunch, eat healthy and save money – Nothing substitutes a good salad or a wholesome meal from home! Plus you can always change your favourite recipe by substituting in different type of nuts and berries. Hint: Put your dressing in a separate small container so that your salad doesn't get soggy by the time you get to it.

Pack small meals for the entire day 
– Pack nuts, dried fruit, fruits, and biscuits. If you take one or some of these items with you everyday, it will stop you from ordering unhealthy, oily food from your office canteen, or the Udipi restaurant next door.

Make sure you carry a water bottle 
- Keeping water handy is a really smart idea. Sometimes, if you’re working, you’ll just forget to drink water for long periods of time. Also sipping on water when you need something to eat just because of boredom or compulsive snacking is a good way to avoid junk food.

How can a corporate employee stay fit with exercise?

Staying fit is not as hard as it seems. All you need to do is decide which days and what slot in the day you are going to dedicate to the gym. Once you decide on that (fitting it neatly into your busy schedule) here are some pointers on how to stay active throughout your work day.

Wireless headset 
- If a big part of your day is spent on the phone, get a wireless headset and make a habit of walking while you talk. You may not think that it is a workout, but even simple movements can make a huge difference rather than just sitting in one place. So why not maximize the time you have, to simply walk around?

Join a weekend sports league or a weekend class 
- This is a great way to satisfy your inner need to play, exercise, get some vitamin D. By joining a league, you create a commitment to others and are more likely to honor that commitment. By joining a dance class over weekends, you will have fun as well as work on your fitness.

5 Minute Healthy No-Cook Sauces
In these dog afternoons of summer, all you feel like is coming home to a nice warm, cooked meal. But, do you always get the time to keep something ready, or put something together? If you're tired of packaged noodles and unhealthy take-away foods, it's time to try some 5 minute no-cook sauces that are as delicious as they are easy to prepare. Here are three simple sauces, which call for no cooking and can be whipped up in a jiffy!

Ginger Coconut Peanut Sauce
This is a spicy sauce that caters perfectly to the Indian palette. The ginger coconut peanut sauce matches skinless chicken breasts or tossed noodles or whole wheat pasta, or simply as a sauce over some grilled vegetables.

  • 3 tablespoon of homemade peanut butter

Method
Put all the ingredients together in a bowl and whisk until the mixture forms a uniform cream based sauce/smooth mixture. This sauce can be preserved in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Fresh Tomato Salsa Crudo
You can use this sauce as a spread in your wraps, or simply serve it over grilled vegetables or a baked potato. The fresh tomato salsa crudo has no added preservatives, needs no cooking time and is no fuss.

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cup of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 minced clove of garlic
  • 1/4th cup of chopped parsley
  • 1/4th cup of chopped basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4th tablespoon of freshly chopped thyme
  • ½ tablespoon of salt
  • 1/4th tablespoon of crushed chilli pepper flakes
  • 1/4th tablespoon of freshly grounded black pepper


Method:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and your fresh tomato salsa crudo is ready to be served.

Spanish Salsa Fresca
Not only is this easy and simple to make, but it is spicy and a perfect delight to tag along with any white fish fillets or stir fried chicken breasts.

Ingredients
3 ½ cups of chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4th cup of finely sliced red onions (you can also use normal onions if red onions are not available)
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoon of lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon of olive oil
  • ½ table spoon of salt
  • ½ tablespoon of black pepper

How to Choose the Best Workout Shoes

Deciding the Best Workout Shoes
What's the most important part of your workout kit? The gym bottle? Your Ipod? A head band? Wrong, wrong, and wrong again. The only vital piece of gear without which you can’t think of performing any of your exercises – running, tennis, cycling, aerobics, kickboxing - is a well fitted pair of shoes. A good pair of exercise shoes or trainers, if you will, can make or break your daily workout routine. But it is fairly simple to go wrong with them! Here’s how to choose the best workout shoes.

Don’t go for whatever is handy, go for a sport specific shoe. 
The biggest blunder people make when they get going on their running, jogging, or any other exercise routine, is grabbing ay old pair of sneakers and taking off. Stop, right there! Understand the difference between each routine's specific demands on your body. Workout shoes are tailor-made for different kinds of workouts and exercises. A shoe made for running is quite different from a shoe made for tennis or basketball.

For instance, experts suggest that running shoes are devoid of in-built lateral stability, because you don’t move your feet cross-ways or side-ways when you run. You are simply going forward and running shoes are specifically designed to give you that kind of support and stability. On the other hand, basketball and tennis shoes need to be stabilized laterally, as you move your feet side to side.

Then again, foot surgeons and podiatrists opine that runners land more on their forefoot, whereas when walking you have a considerably heavier heel strike, thus running shoes are different from walking shoes. Thus, for running, you would require a shoe that has more cushioning on the forefoot, whereas for walking shoes you'll need stiffer heel support.

3 must-haves in a good pair of workout shoes:
  • Light weight (you don’t want to add a lot of pounds to your feet)
  • A fixed or a firm heel
  • Good support (you shouldn’t be able to bend the shoe too easily, unless you're picking shoes for a dance workout)

Don't get too attached to your workout shoes.
Your workout shoes should be your workout shoes, only, and not your running-around-anywhere shoes. A shoe succumbs to wear and tear quite easily. So, purchase two different pairs - one for casual running around the city and the other for serious workouts.

Another big mistake many of us make is not changing our workout shoes too often. And we're not talking about changin them when they start looking bad. Generally, shoes start to break down even when they’re looking good. And we don’t want you to invite aches and pains because of them! Many experts recommend that runners must swap their shoes every 300-500 miles. Another good measure is to replace them at least once in a year, if you workout regularly.

Aishwarya Rai's first duplicate Sneha Ullal her dream boy Duplicate Girl wants Prince Sneha Ullal Aishwarya Rai Actress Heroine Hot Beauty Sexy Heroine Sexy Siren


Duplicate Girl wants 'Prince'!
Dreaming about a 'prince' quality boy in life is quite natural for girls in their youth. If it is the case of heroines, their desires are boundless and looks like only a dozen of prince can fulfill their needs. One such requirement is there for our 'Duplicate Girl' too.

Better known as glam queen Aishwarya Rai's first rate duplicate, sexy damsel Sneha Ullal is talking a lot about her dream boy, here and there. Her desires for a top quality guy who can walk alongside in her entire life have multiplied now. The reason behind these increased wishes are said to be the recent British royal wedding of duke and duchess of Cambridge. Prince William and Kate middleton's wedding has left an 'insect' in the brains of many eligible girls to crave for a 'big shot' guy. Hope Sneha will look for guy with royal qualities rather than other 'royal' things that would not last longer.

Common Man cries! PR Fans fries!!
Due to its varying screenplay and intellectual content, Puri Jagan's latest flick 'Nenu Naa Rakshasi' is beating its head between mixed talks. Right from concept to visualization, NNR is under a different tone that cannot satisfy audiences at B & C centres. Other than Puri Jagan's punchy one-liners and philosophies about life, NNR has nothing to offer for a common man who wants to relax out.

On the flip side, Puri and Rana's fans, who liked the film immensely are shocked to hear such stringent reactions from general public. Trade pundits have stamped the movie as a commercial blunder and are waiting till Monday to know the actual position of the flick. As common man is crying, Puri-Rana fans are frying for not accepting this flick by public.

I would love to kiss an actress: Top Heroine
Hot beauty Priyanka Chopra, who has portrayed many bold characters in the past, says she is not comfortable with nudity in films.

"Nudity is something that I wouldn't be comfortable with. Even if I play the most complex and weird parts which are raunchy or whatever it has to be, the portrayal of a character is to a point where it is aesthetically done. It has to be something that I won't be averse to showing my parents. I have to be able to sit with them and watch it."

The actress also said that, she wouldn't mind kissing even a girl on the screen.

"If it was in a part that I was really eager to do, I would still consider it but as of now, nothing has made me do that. I would love to kiss an actress on screen...but she should be hot," said Priyanka.

To a query on model Poonam Pandey, who had expressed her willingness to strip for the World Cup winning Indian team, Priyanka said, "The main thing is she did not go nude. She did not do what she had said. It is her life she can do whatever she wants to," she said.

Mahesh Babu's dream project abandoned!

how should be the food Supplements be taken food Supplements and their factors how should be Supplements Are Dietary Supplements Making You Binge




A study has indicated that people who take vitamin pills may be more likely to gorge on fast food. Researchers have warned that multi-vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements can lull users into a false sense of security — and lead to them overindulging in unhealthy foods and activities.

For the study, one group of volunteers was told to take a multi-vitamin pill and the second a dummy pill while their lifestyle choices were monitored. In reality, both groups had been given placebos. The researchers found that those who believed they had taken a supplement felt immune to health hazards and were less likely to go for a walk to benefit their health. They were also more likely to choose a buffet meal over a more healthy organic one.

"After taking dietary supplements in the morning, individuals should diligently monitor whether illusory invulnerability is activated by restored health credentials and subsequently licenses health-risk behaviours," the Daily Mail quoted Wen-Bin Chiou of National Sun Yat-Sen University in Taiwan, as saying.
   
A spokesman for the research team added, "To put it simply, people who take dietary supplements may have the misconception that they are invulnerable to health problems and may make poor decisions when it comes to their health, such as choosing fast food over a healthy and organic meal."

Winning Over Your Mother in law




For most women, before taking that big plunge into marriage, their biggest fear is- Will my mother-in-law like me? Will she approve of her son’s choice? Here in India, where the institution of marriage is still considered a sacrosanct affair and choice of a partner still dictated by who the parents approve of, one’s relationship with the in-laws becomes all the more crucial. The situation gets a little out of hand if the man happens to harbour strong feelings against his wife and a tug-of-war starts between the girl and her mother-in-law. Here's how you can alleviate the monster-in-law pressure.

Early signals to look out for

  • When your M.I.L (mother-in-law) starts spending more time with your husband than her own husband.
  • When she barges into your room with some petty issue while you and your husband are in the middle of something important.
  • Tries to dictate his choices (of food, clothes, habits etc) still.
  • Cuts you short in front of him.

Non-verbal Signals


So is there anything that a girl can do to help alleviate the situation? Definitely, just follow these golden rules as your survival kit!
  •  Be pleasant and courteous to your in-laws, in spite of what they think of you. Remember the problem lies with your M.I.L and not you!
  •  Never point out anything negative about your M.I.L before your hubby…after all it’s his mother you are commenting on.
  •  Don’t go out of the way to please your M.I.L – remember it often backfires. So keep your communication minimal, unless she is forthcoming enough.
  •  Never let your ego get in the way. Under such circumstances a clash of egos is the worst fallout!
  •  Watch out for how much support you gain from your husband. When things turn sour, men often choose to ‘stay indifferent’. So if he loves you, he should speak for you too.
Finally, if things are not too bad, try implementing the age-old trick of a little love and some communication to clear

what are the Rules of Arranged Dating Before Marriage how should be arranged dating before marrage tips for arranged date before marriage marriage aand arranged dating

Rules of Arranged Dating Before Marriage



At some point, singletons will feel pressured by their parents and an assortment of relatives to consider someone they've shorlisted. Arranged marriages are a legit way to meet people, and whether you enter the market willingly or grudgingly, you will at least meet people who are serious about commitment. So, what is the protocol when you meet someone through a more formal medium? Your attitude to the process could make it at least a painless, if not enjoyable process. Karishma Malkani, who has been setting up eligible singles for 12 years now, gives you a few tips on arranged date decorum:

Eliminate To Facilitate

Ninety per cent of Karishma's clients tend to shortlist people on the basis of the photograph. But pictures can be misleading. "Some people look better in person, some photos make a person appear more attractive. I always tell my clients not to base their judgment simply on a picture. A smiling photograph in Western casuals (that seems to be the general preference) will do the trick."
   
Unfortunately, she points out, there are more eligible girls than boys. It's harder to find decent looking and well educated boys, so the boys end up having more choice than the girls.
   
It's also important to shortlist profiles on factors such as diet (vegetarians prefer not to meet nonvegetarians), living with the family or apart, etc. This helps save time and energy on both sides.

Minus The Khandaan, Please
Earlier, when two families met, usually they'd be accompanied by an assortment of siblings, grandparents, uncles and aunties. Karishma has noticed that the new trend is for the couple to meet minus the chaperones.

"Youngsters prefer meeting alone at a coffee shop. With the khandaan, they barely get time to know each other. The second meeting could be with the parents. Some people still go with their folks, but it's uncomfortable to have people staring at you. Others, especially the girl's parents, want to see the boy first before letting him meet their daughter. Eighty five per cent parents are letting their kids meet alone. To take immediate family is perhaps okay, but not other relatives."
   
It's embarrassing to be directed to another table. "Go talk, beta," is the usual refrain. Avoid it. For obvious reasons.

Ask Me Anything. Or Not
Now that you've met and your potential partner hasn't repulsed you in the first five minutes, what are the appropriate subjects to touch on? Karishma says, "The first meeting is more formal usually. I've noticed that now people ask about everything frankly. They want to know how well settled the other person is, how many siblings, how many relationships the other person has had, etc. Ideally, leave the more personal questions for the next date. Some people have complained that they don't like being asked that. Talk about mutual interests and likes and dislikes. Be yourself, because you can't fool anyone for long."
   
Questions like 'Can you cook?' are redundant. You're looking for an equal partner, not a maid. Ensure that your queries are phrased in the least offensive manner.

What's Your Salary?

To inquire about a prospective candidate's financial status is not a polite question. You're not buying a commodity, this is a life partner you're thinking about. "Of course, it's important," says Karishma, "But usually I have the financial details of those registered with us. So, it saves the embarrassment of asking that question."

Cheque, Please
If the kids meet alone, says Karishma, usually it's the boys who pick up the cheque. "Yes, the thought that he can't pick up a piddly coffee bill may cross the girl's mind. Also, I think the belief that when families meet, the girl's parents are supposed to pay is outdated," she says.

Sorry. Next...
Arranged marriages are like the lottery. "I met my husband on the first meeting and now we're celebrating our 14th anniversary. But not everyone is so lucky," she says with a laugh. So how do you politely communicate your disinterest? You could always have a friend on standby who calls you with an emergency. Karishma laughs, "Usually, people leave the dirty work to me. If you want to meet the person again, ask for the phone number and send a polite message. Pay them the respect of giving them your full attention even if you don't like them. Or just go home and tell your parents it isn't working."
   
Most parents would like you to make up your mind after about three meetings and they don't like their daughters meeting a guy ten times before he rejects her, Karishma observes. And there is not need to insult anyone when you reject them. Usually, the safest excuse is to say that the horoscopes don't match. That way you can blame the divine powers for the mismatch.

Amateur Sherlock Holmes-ing
Arranged set-ups always throw up the trust factor question. There have been instances where people have hidden their medical condition or lied about their financial status. So how does one know if a person's claims are real?

Karishma says, "People conduct discreet inquiries from at least four-five sources when they zero in on a bride/ groom. I caution them to not barge in at their workplaces or randomly call up colleagues. Go with an appointment. I don't give away the names of the companies where the candidates are working. People ask in societies as well. Normally, they just figure out a friend or relative who knows someone in the marriage prospect's company to make discreet inquiries."

Kate Wore Alexander McQueen

Kate Middleton wore Alexander McQueen. Speculation was already abound that Sarah Burton, head designer at the luxe British label Alexander McQueen would be designing the dress.

Kate stepped out of the Goring Hotel and into her Rolls Royce limousine in an ivory gown with lace floral appliqué design. The full sleeves were made of lace and Kate Middleton’s veil was held in place with a halo tiara on loan from Queen Elisabeth. It was made by Cartier in 1936. It was her something borrowed.

A Royal Wedding Gown

Kate’s dress has been made of ivory and white satin gazar, with the skirt of the gown designed to resemble an opening flower. Her train is just two metres long.

Sarah Burton’s design of the train and include delicate lace applique flowers, handcrafted using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originated in Ireland in the 1820s.

The media already suspected that McQueen’s Sarah Burton would design the dress when a woman covered in a vast jacket – and dressed in Burton’s trademark style of lose pants and top – hurtled into Goring Hotel.

Simi Garewal when it went off air; but if you did you can now rejoice because Simi is back with a new chat show called The Most Desirable

Simi Garewal is Back on TV with The Most Desirable





We don’t know if you missed Rendezvous with Simi Garewal when it went off air; but if you did you can now rejoice because Simi is back with a new chat show called The Most Desirable!

Apparenthly the ‘lady in white’ promises to bring in more colour to the show not only in terms of her guests but her wardrobe as well! Now that’s certainly not going to disappoint anyone.

But what’s going to is her decision to feature only single male celebrities. While it’s not confirmed, we surely hope it’s not true.

Anyhoo… guess who’s the first guest on The Most Desirable? It’s none other than the newly single John Abraham. Wonder if Simi will be able to do what even Karan Johar couldn’t – prod John to reveal the reason behind his break up with Bipasha Basu.

How to Dismantle and Destroy a Hard Drive


There are many reasons you might want to physically destroy a hard drive rather than use disk wiping software: higher confidence that the data is destroyed, a recourse if your drive has failed and no longer accessible, and sheer fun.
If the pyrotechic/thermite method and other extreme physical disposal methods aren't for you, dismantling the drive to get to the platters is an alternative method. (You can also save some interesting parts from the drive—motors and magnets—for some geeky future projects yet to be invented.)
DominoPower Magazine has a step-by-step guide with photos of the process. You'll need a needle-nose plier, a flat screwdriver, and TORX bits (for removing the star-shaped screws and bolts).
The basic process involves removing the screws around the outside of the drive (including ones hidden under stickers), pulling out the screws holding the electronics (including hidden case screws), and then popping the cover off. After removing the magnets, you can get to the platters, the heart of your hard drive.
First run the magnets over the platters to degauss them. Because that's not a guarantee that the data is unrecoverable (and not very satisfying, either, after all that dismantling), you should then physically destroy the platters—bend them or break them with a hammer or saw them into pieces. And that will be the end of those discs and the data on them

Akshay, Sonakshi in Bhansali ROWDY RATHORE Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Akshay Kumar come together for the first time for the film interestingly titled ROWDY RATHORE








Audiences are in for a treat as acclaimed director/producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Akshay Kumar come together for the first time for the film interestingly titled ROWDY RATHORE.

The out-and-out action film will be produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and co-produced by designer Shabinaa Khan.

Says Sanjay Bhansali, "To me an action film is totally an alien concept. At this juncture as a filmmaker, I want to move out of the comfort zone and do things that are new and untried."








Starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, the film directed by Prabhu Deva of WANTED fame will break the stereotypical boundaries of the action genre.

The film sees Bollywood star Akshay Kumar get back into a space in which he remains undefeated - hardcore action! The star will undergo rigorous physical training in preparation for the film that will have top notch action and choreography that will have audiences asking for more.

Says a trade source "The dynamite combination of Sanjal Leela Bhansali, Akshay Kumar and Prabhu Deva calls for a film that is aesthetically larger than life packed with mind blowing stunts and impressive choreography. The film has box-office success written all over it"

With ROWDY RATHORE Shabinaa Khan turns as co-producer. Says Shabinaa "I'm very excited about my first production film ROWDY RATHORE which is a hardcore action masala flick and with such a talented team on board. Pray the audiences will love."

 Shahid Kapoor Mausam




Written and directed by Shahid’s father, Pankaj Kapoor, Mausam has been shot not only in India but also in UK, Italy, Spain and Austria!

Shahid plays an Air Force pilot in the film. May be that’s why he was seen flying a  Lockheed Martin's F-16 Super Viper at a recent Aero India 2011 event.

While that does remind us of Tom Cruise’s Top Gun, we’re sure director Pankaj, of Maqbool and The Blue Umbrella fame, will give us something original.

Sonakshi Sinha and Zarine Khan Have a Face Off Sonakshi jealous of Zarine khan



Last week after the music launch of Ready, Salman Khan decided to hold an impromptu bash at his house. Leading lady Asin, as well as Zarine Khan who has done an item song in the film, got the invitation at the venue itself. Others received calls from Salman to join in the celebrations. Sonakshi Sinha joined the revellers at the Dabangg actor's pad later that night.

Sonakshi jealous of Zarine?
It has been reported that Sonakshi is super possessive about the actor and doesn't like other actresses cosying upto him. But this time she made a show of her anger. An eye-witness reveals, "She pushed Zarine, while walking past her, and then pretended that she hadn't even realised it!" It is known that Salman has a soft spot for both Sonakshi as well as Zarine and has been recommending their names to filmmakers. He is partial to them because they debuted with him — Zarine in Veer and Sona in Dabangg.

The insider continues, "It was such a sight. We thought a catfight would break out. We didn't know where to look and whether to laugh. When Sona first walked in, she walked past Zarine, without greeting her. Later when she saw that ZK was bonding with Salman and he was introducing her to all his friends, the Dabangg girl couldn't hide her irritation. Also the fact that Sallu got his buddy Sajid Nadiadwala to cast Zarine in Housefull 2 was still bothering her. Never mind the fact that he was instrumental in getting her a role in Shirish Kunder's Joker.

Oops she did it again!
Sonakshi sees Zarine as a rival for Salman's affections and young and spunky that she is, the Shotgun Junior (as she calls herself) decided to literally push her out of her way. Interestingly, Salman was busy with his other friends and did not see her push the Veer girl. When Zarine reacted, Sonakshi told her it was "an accident. Not done intentionally". We want to believe Sonakshi, but we remember her cold vibes with Sallu's ex Katrina Kaif. Now Zarine is at the receiving end. While Zarine remained unavailable for comment, Sonakshi denied the incident.
