Shahid, Priyanka are back

    Wonders never cease in Bollywood. But this one is likely to blow you away. It seems actor Shahid Kapoor has not only patched up with his ex-girlfriend Priyanka Chopra, but even Mubina Rattonsey, the executive producer of Kaminey, whose closeness to the actor was supposedly one of the reasons that caused the Shahid-Priyanka split.

    On Thursday night, as the three walked in together in a 5-star hotel in Juhu, heads turned and many knowing glances were exchanged by diners. A few minutes later, the three settled down for a cosy meal. “Priyanka hardly ate much as she had damaged her vocal cords and lost her voice , but she quite seemed to enjoy Shahid’s company. Shahid was equally engaging,” says a source.

    “Shahid, Priyanka and Mubina looked very happy in each other’s company. They came and left together. They were in the hotel for nearly two hours,” adds the source. In the course of the evening, when the actor spotted actress Tabu seated a few tables away, he walked up to her and the two exchanged pleasantries.

    Shahid and Mubina became close during the making of Kaminey, which also starred Priyanka. When the two actors broke up subsequently, it was reported that Priyanka had discovered that certain comments about Shahid that she had shared with Mubina were reaching him.

    The actress is said to have confronted Mubina soon after, but the latter denied that she had any role to play in the matter. But when this continued, Priyanka simply decided to put a distance between her and Mubina.

    Today, however, it all seems a thing of the past.

Box Office: 'Aisha' starts well at high-end plexes, dull at places

    The sole release, AISHA, opened well at high-end multiplexes of metros, with the opening and noon shows performing to 70% to 80% occupancy. However, the response at some properties [single screens and small centres] was dull, with the opening being in 20% to 25% range. The evening shows at plexes of major centres showed very good occupancy. The film has opened at 550 screens and the plexes are expected to contribute the maximum on Day 1.

    The factor that goes in its favour is its costing. The cost of production is around Rs. 14 cr. [excl. P. & A.] and the makers have recovered a big chunk of the investment from the sale of Satellite Rights [Rs. 9 cr.] and Music Rights [Rs. 1.5 cr.]. The balance amount [Rs. 3.5 cr. + P. & A.] is to be recovered from India theatrical + Overseas + Home Video.

Hrithik stopped smoking

Deepika's sudden growth spurt

Big brother's bash

    Salman Khan hosted a party last night to celebrate Arbaaz and Arpita's birthday

    Salman Khan hosted a belated birthday bash last night at a suburban night club to celebrate his brother Arbaaz (August 4) and sister Arpita's (August 3) birthdays.

    Says a source, "Salman is thrilled with the response to the Dabangg promo and was in a mood to party. He decided to have a combined bash to celebrate the response to the promos and his siblings' birthdays."

    Every year, Salman throws a big bash for his younger sister Arpita. Last year it was at a five-star hotel near his house in Bandra but this time, the venue was a Juhu nightclub. The party was delayed by a few days as some of Arpita's close friends were not in town.

    Adds the source, "Salman gives a free rein to Arpita and lets her decide everything from the menu to the venue and the guest list."

    Those who attended the party included Farah Khan, Sajid Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, Riteish Deshmukh and Dabangg heroine Sonakshi with her parents Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha. Aamir Khan left on Wednesday night for Australia to promote Peepli [Live] at the Melbourne film fest and couldn't attend.

Salman's 'best item girls' are...

    Salman Khan, who has danced to the sizzling number 'Munni Badnaam' with his sister-in-law Malaika Arora Khan in 'Dabangg', says apart from her only actress Shilpa Shetty can be counted among the best item girls in the industry.

    "Shilpa Shetty is very good in item numbers," Salman told reporters on being asked which actress according to him gives competition to Malaika as far as item numbers are concerned.

    Shilpa is popular for her sensuous moves in the song 'U.P., Bihar lootne', and 'Chhaiya chhaiya' girl Malaika has featured in many item songs like 'Hoth raseele', 'Kaal kaal', and 'Mahi ve'.

    While it took a little while for Salman to answer, his younger brother Arbaaz, who is married to Malaika, flattered his wife by saying: "Malaika gives competition to herself."

    The actors, along with the cast and crew of 'Dabangg', were in Delhi for the music launch of the film.

    Salman maintained his habit of coming late and appeared with his team two and a half hours later than the scheduled time. However, he was energy personified as soon as he took to the stage.

    The 44-year-old actor has always been known for his unique dance steps in all his films. In 'Dabangg' too, he has done some very catchy steps which are fast becoming a rage among youngsters.

    But Salman gives little credit to his choreographer Farah Khan for his dance. "I have taken my steps from a doctor I once met in London. He had a different style of dancing, so I picked my belt step from him," he said.

    "There is another step which I have picked from Arbaaz. It's his all-time favourite step and again there's one which is from my make-up man Raju," he added.

    "My steps are a mix from all these people, and yes, there is one step by Farah Khan also. Out of four steps that she gave me, I picked one," Salman quipped.

    'Dabangg', which is Arbaaz's first movie as a producer, has been directed by debutant Abhinav Kashyap, the younger brother of acclaimed director Anurag Kashyap.

    The film is set in a small Uttar Pradesh town and has Salman in the role of a policeman. It is the launch vehicle for Shatrughan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi, and is slated for a September release.

Are Deepika and Siddharth Mallya dating?

    Salman Khan's joint party for his sister Arpita and brother Arbaaz's birthdays on August 5 saw a huge star turnout. And for Deepika Padukone, it was the party where she showed up with Siddharth Mallya, who seems now to officially be the new man in her life.

    Deepika and Siddharth, the son of business tycoon Vijay Mallya, have been seen together many times this year. They were spotted together at Lakme Fashion Week (where Deepika walked the ramp), at several IPL matches (the Mallyas own Royal Challengers Bangalore team), and now by coming to Salman's party together, it looks like Deepika and Siddharth are no longer hiding the fact that they are a couple.

    The two entered Salman's party together and stayed together through it. And Deepika seemed really happy with the company!

    Also at Salman's party was his ex-girlfriend Sangeeta Bijlani, who's married to cricketer Mohd Azharuddin. Their marriage is said to be in trouble, because of Azhar's alleged affair with badminton player Jwala Gutta. Jwala has now filed for divorce from her husband Chetan Anand.

    So what does this mean for Salman and Sangeeta? It's plain to see that the former couple is still very close. Sangeeta spent most of her time at the party with Salman and his family, and apparently didn't even speak to most other people. Will Salman-Sangeeta's relationship change in the future? Watch this space for updates.

Aamir Khan wants whoever he deals with to make money

    Aamir Khan's last three films have raked in big money, proving that one doesn't need massive budgets to make a blockbuster and the ideology behind it is simple - he wants everyone associated with the movie to make money.

    "It has to be win-win for everyone. My sense would be, as a creative person I would like to take that responsibility to make sure that the film is not top heavy and everyone earns," Aamir told NDTV in an interview.

    "That's a policy I have followed all along is that when I do business with someone, so whether it's a distributor or whether I am an actor or it's the producer I am concerned with, whoever I deal with... should make money when they deal with me," he said.

    Aamir, 45, is a filmmaker and has invested wisely in movies like 'Lagaan', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'. All of them went on to become hits at the box office.

    Not just that, as an actor, his last three releases - 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Ghajini' and '3 Idiots' have made quite a bit of moolah at the box-office with 'Ghajini' being sold at Rs.60 crore.

    "I got very nervous when 'Ghajini' was sold at a very high price because I feel that we shouldn't go... This race is mad. I am basically a very middle class kind of person and I feel that so much money is at stake and people are going to lose money," said Aamir.

    "I feel very stressed about that and I feel that there is no need to do that. When a film is good the upside will come to you," he added.

Bipasha wants to focus on serious roles

    After getting favourable reviews for her role in 'Lamhaa', Bipasha Basu is in no mood to swing back into fluffy, ultra-glam roles. The dusky actress says she has more serious stuff lined up - a film on honour killings and another on Goa's drug mafia.

    In fact when actor and beau John Abraham saw Bipasha in 'Lamhaa'', based on the turmoil in the Kashmir Valley, he was so blown away that he advised her to only get into projects that brought out her acting skills.

    "John loved me in 'Lamhaa'. He has done a film on terrorism, 'New York', and he feels we both need to stretch ourselves as actors beyond entertainment," said Bipasha.

    So are John and Bipasha looking beyond their great physique and high glamour quotient?

    Said Bipasha: "Sure, I'm very proud of my physique. I've worked hard on it. But now I'm hungering for challenges as an actress. In 'Lamhaa', I was not only in a burqa throughout, I also got a chance to understand how life is lived in an atmosphere of crisis."

    Though she didn't plan it that way, Bipasha's next two films - Priyadarshan's 'Aakrosh' and Rohan Sippy's 'Dum Maro Dum' - again feature her in films and roles that address themselves to socially-relevant issues.

    "Until I finished 'Lamhaa' I didn't notice that the only two films I've signed after that are about burning issues," she said.

    While 'Aakrosh' is about honour killings, 'Dum Maro Dum' is about the drug mafia in Goa. In both, Bipasha says she's pulled out all stops to deliver real performances.

    "Real doesn't necessarily mean de-glamourised. While in 'Aakrosh' I play a school teacher in a dusty, small town of north India and wear cottons, in 'Dum Maro Dum', which is about substance abuse, my character Zoyi is very zany, with it and a girl of today. I'm very glamorous in 'Dum Maro Dum'," the actress revealed.

    Both the films would again require her to stretch her limits as an actor. 'Aakrosh', in fact, has been as exhausting for Bipasha as 'Lamhaa'.

    "The way Priyadarshan has dealt with the subject of honour killings is remarkable. Again as an actress I was put in a situation I had little knowledge of. I learnt about honour killings and Kashmir on the job. Not that I don't read the newspapers. But reading about these things is one thing, seeing them first-hand is another," she said.

    In 'Aakrosh' she has a sequence of mob trauma.

    "At least one could prepare and rehearse in 'Aakrosh', no such luxuries in 'Lamhaa'. We sometimes literally had seven minutes to shoot in a crowded lane or street of Srinagar and flee before being accosted. That suited me fine because I'm a one-take actor," she said.

    Bipasha says she was taken aback by children's lives in Kashmir.

    "I was shocked by how alienated Kashmiris are from the mainstream of Indian life. They (children) are not allowed to go out and play. When Sanjay Dutt shot a song in a garden with kids, it was literally a rare treat for them. They had never been to a movie theatre. But the kids had seen some of my movies on pirated DVDs," she said.

    Now Bipasha wants to pitch in whatever way she can for Kashmir's kids. "It's easy to talk about helping the distressed sections. But assuming an initiative is very difficult."

    John and Bipasha will create awareness about Kashmir's issues in Bollywood.

Wishing Kajol a very happy Birthday

    Not long ago, there was a girl, whose boyfriend, for some strange reason kept on rattling 'My Name Is Khan'. The police arrested him thinking that he was from their 'Dushman' gang. Even though she complained about this to 'Raju Chacha' umpteen times, her life continued to be full of 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'. That way, her 'Sapnay' of getting married to the 'Karan Arjun' of her dreams was almost shattered. That's when she decided that she will not be 'Gupt' anymore, because she believed in the 'Taaqat' of her 'Ishq'. She 'Hamesha' believed that her 'Baazigar' was innocent. That's why she decided to listen to her heart's 'Bekhudi' and in order to put an end to the 'Hulchul' of her 'Udhar Ki Zindagi', she married to her man and now she proudly claims 'We Are Family'.

    We are indeed talking about the one and only Kajol, who celebrates her grand birthday today. Any amount of praise will be like holding torchlight before the sunlight. That's why we decided to wish Kajol, the undisputed powerhouse of talent through the above 'story'! You too can wish her by posting your birthday wishes for her below:

Will try and match upto Shilpa, Big B: Salman Khan

    Salman Khan, who will step into the shoes of the Bigg Boss 4 host said that he will try and match upto the standards set by previous hosts Shilpa Shetty and Amitabh Bachchan.

    "Shilpa Shetty and Amitabh Bachchan have done a great job in the past as the hosts of the show. I really respect them for that and I will try to match upto them," Salman told reporters here.

    "I will try to make the audience feel there is more fun outside the house than inside," he added.

    Even though there was news that Salman will return to the small screen with the second season of the game show Dus Ka Dum, the actor has changed his plan and will be seen in Bigg Boss 4 to be aired on Colors.

    When asked about the reason for this change, the actor said: "I had the contract to do the first season of Dus Ka Dum. That contract is over now. If they want me to return for the second season, I would do that but right now there are no such talks, so I took this up."

    Also, the grapevine is rife that Salman's Bigg Boss will be aired at the same time as Amitabh's Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC).

    So what does he feel about the competition?

    "There is no competition. We are two different personalities, we have different styles, so there is no comparison. I don't think I can host KBC the way he does," the actor said.

    Bigg Boss is the Indian version of popular British reality show Big Brother. It has celebrity contestants locked in a house under the surveillance of multiple cameras for a period of three months without any contact with the outside world.

Cover my bum, says John Abraham

    Wants to get his derriere insured... for Rs 10 crore

    John Abraham has come up with a kick-a** idea. The star wants to insure his butt! The actor, who displayed his derriere in his now-famous yellow chaddis in Dostana, is looking to secure his assets for Rs 10 crore.

    Like Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez, Bipasha Basu's beau has decided to buy a policy that covers any possible risk to his body part. He would be the first Indian celebrity to do so.

    Indian companies are not used to body part insurance as it has yet to catch on as a trend here, like it has in the West. Says a source, "But some insurance companies are willing to make an exception for John."

    The star recently suffered a minor case of muscle fatigue and had stopped gymming for a while. But now he is back to his exercise routine.

    Adds the source, "Rs 10 crore is a heavy amount of insurance and the premium that he would have to pay for it would be mindboggling. And the star is up for it."

    Confirms John, "I agree that there is an initiative from my side but this is a work-in-progress. I am meeting various people for this. At this point, I would not like to say more."

    South sensation Rajnikant has copyrighted his voice. No one can mimic him without his consent.

    HOLLYWOOD INSURES...
    >> Insuring body parts started with Ben Turpin, the silent-movie star who bought a $20,000 policy in the 1920s to insure his signature crossed eyes.
    >> Leg insurance began with Betty Grable, whose million-dollar legs were insured for that amount.
    >> Soccer star David Beckham has his legs and feet insured.
    >> Choreographer Michael Flatley (Lord of the Dance) had his feet insured for $39 million.
    >> German supermodel Heidi Klum insured her legs for $2.2 million. One of her limbs is insured for $1.2 million while the other for only $1 million. They have different values as there is a scar on one knee.
    >> Tina Turner has her legs insured for a sum that is quite large.
    >> Fred Astaire had insured his legs for $75,000 per leg, with an additional $20,000 of insurance on his wrists and arms.
    >> Supermodel Claudia Schiffer had her face insured for $5 million.
    >> Actress America Ferrara's smile was insured for $10 million.
    >> Bruce Springsteen bought a $6 million policy to insure his voice
    >> Singer Dolly Parton purchased a $600,000 policy to insure her 42-inch chest.
    >> Bette Davis had a $28,000 policy insuring her against weight gain.
    >> Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards had his hands insured.
    >> Marilyn Monroe had to be insured against drug use.
    >> Food critic and gourmet Egon Ronay bought a $400,000 insurance policy on his taste buds.

Ranbir and Priyanka get acquainted

    Get a dose of Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra's close encounters in Anjaana Anjaani

    Here's the first dekho at producer Sajid Nadiadwala love story Anjaana Anjaani. The film brings together Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra for the first time. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the first promo of the film releases on August 6.

    http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2010/aug/Anjaana1.jpg
    Priyanka is playing a character based in San Francisco, while Ranbir is essaying the role of a New York City boy. They meet in NYC and travel across cities.

    http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2010/aug/Anjaana2.jpg
    The film has been shot entirely in the US, across many cities including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Francisco.

    http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2010/aug/Anjaana3.jpg
    Says Sajid, "Apart from Priyanka and Ranbir being a fresh combination, it's the first pure, young, cool love story from my banner, Nadiadwala Grandsons and Siddharth is the right director for the job. He is very focused and works 18 hours only on the film."

    http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2010/aug/Anjaana4.jpg
    Siddharth adds, "The thought behind Anjaana Anjaani is that all great love stories start out as people meeting as strangers before they fall in love with each other.

    http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2010/aug/Anjaana5.jpg
    The story has been written by Siddharth's wife Mamta. He says, "Novelist Advaita Kala has written the screenplay. AA is more than just a love story. The two strangers -- Ranbir and Priyanka -- represent every emotion in us. It's a story of us. The beginning spurs the entire film."
