Character in Dangal is ‘something new’ for Aamir, says wife Kiran Rao

Even before the film has went on floors, Aamir Khan’s wife has already given a thumps up for her husband. According to Kiran Rao, Aamir’s initial look tests are already looking very good. Kiran believes the role he’s doing in the film is ‘something new’ for the actor.

Aamir who plays a wrestler and father of three daughters in the film, is apparently preparing very hard for his role. While he has been working rigorously on his diet, the look tests too have begun. Talking about the looks he’s tested so far, Kiran said “I liked it (Aamir’s look in ‘Dangal’) very much. He is not fully there yet but whatever look tests we have seen so far he is looking very good. This story is very special and also his character. It is something new for him.”

To be directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Dangal is believed to be inspired from the life of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat. While Aamir plays a father of three daughters, the girls are yet to be cast. The film will go on the floors by next month perhaps. 

Abhishek starts shooting for Hera Pheri 3, will he and John be enough to fill in for Akshay

Most Hera Pheri fans are disheartened with the fact that Akshay Kumar is not onboard for the third instalment of the project. To fill in his space, the makers have not just brought in one but two replacements. Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham have been the freshest inclusion in the legendary comic series of India.

The question that keeps troubling over most fans around the globe is, would they be enough to replace Akshay Kumar potentially. Akshay has been the face of Hera Pheri and without doubt has one of the best comic timings. While he misses out on this one, it will be very interesting to see if both Abhishek and John are good enough to not let the audiences miss Khiladi Kumar.

Abhishek as he tweeted yesterday, has started shooting for the film. With Neeraj Vohra who directed Phir Hera Pheri, being at helm again, there is a lot to look forward to, but it would really take a lot for the makers to compensate for the loss of Akshay Kumar. Let’s see what best they come up with. For the moment, good luck to them.

The new star cast suits the characters of the film and this franchise will have more twists than the earlier one."

AbRam watched match with father Shah Rukh Khan - Bollywood Artist

Shah Rukh Khan took time from the shooting of his upcoming film, Fan and flew down to Kolkota to support his team Kolkata Knight Riders as they took on Mumbai Indians. And accompanying theChennai Express actor were his kids.

“Taking so many kids for the KKR match… it’s like I am a class teacher Incharge of Nursery to Higher Secondary,” Shah Rukh posted on Twitter.

SRK’s elder son Aryan and daughter Suhana, as we all know have often accompanied their father to matches, but the latest addition to Kolkata Knight Riders’ fan base is the superstar’s youngest son, AbRam. The little toddler accompanied his daddy to the big opening game of IPL, and was seen cheering for his team.

Dressed in the Knight Riders’ jersey, AbRam looked nothing but adorable. And clearly, the two-year-old proved to be a lucky charm for KKR who beat MI by 7 wickets.

Aryan and Suhana were also spotted in the stands, taking a keen interest in the match. But certainly it was their little brother who was the focus of everyone’s attention this time.

AbRam has already made his official debut on Twitter last year when his father tweeted a photo of them together as an Eid gift to fans. He’s also made a Bollywood debut of sorts for he was spotted in the concluding credits of Farah Khan’s Happy New Year. And now by accompanying his father to a cricket match, AbRam has also made his cheer leading debut.

Shah Rukh Khan playing a double role in "FAN"

Shah Rukh Khan was surely missed at the recently held IPL opening ceremony, but the absence was only due to the fact that the superstar was busy shooting an important sequence of his upcoming movie ‘Fan’ at a chawl in Mumbai.

Shah Rukh Khan was recently in London, shooting a sequence for the movie at the Madame Tussauds museum. This has made ‘Fan’ the first Bollywood movie to have ever been shot at the famous Madame Tussauds.

Directed by Maneesh Sharma, ‘Fan’ has SRK playing a double role – one that of a superstar and the other of a fan. It was slated to release later this year, but has now been postponed.

Ranveer gets back with Anushka

After Band Baaja Baaraat, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl and DIl Dhadakne Do, Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh will be coming together for the fourth time. In Anushka Sharma’s second home production. In fact, when Anushka narrated the story idea to Ranveer, he loved it so much that he immediately agreed to be part of the project. This film will also be helmed by Anushka’s NH10 director, Navdeep Singh.

Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Hrithik Roshan couldn’t save IPL 2015

Indian Premier League is all set to begin from tomorrow. The IPL is on its eighth edition this year and it has been growing bigger every year. However, today’s opening ceremony couldn’t replicate that. Yes, you read that right! This IPL 2015 opening ceremony was one big FLOP SHOW.

The show began with the regular festivities of calling the cricketers on stage and getting them sign the ceremonial bat and disclosing the trophy. Nothing seemed fine from the very beginning. If rain delayed the event Rohit Sharma and Saif Ali Khan were the first to kickstar this bloopers galore! And the Bollywood brigade’s acts on stage only took it further down.

First up was Shahid Kapoor, who did a dhamakedaar entry with a performance that was meant to be an ode to Mithun Chakraborty’s I am a disco dancer. His tribute to the disco king was great. However, he started fumbling with the dance steps and even before that almost crashed his bike on a podium set up on the mega stage. To be honest, this fumbling performance by Shahid was the best act of this night!

Then came in Anushka Sharma, who made a good enough entry, but her performances lacked the punch. And just for the record, even if your film PK was the highest grossing film ever you don’t dance on songs like that onstage, not unless you’ve Virat Kohli for company. These are all soft romantic numbers and for an event like IPL one expects a power-packed act, which will get the audience grooving or at least get them to tap their foot.

Up next was our desi rockstar Farhan Akhtar. He performed along with his band. Trust me, it would have been better had he just lip synced to the popular Rock On songs rather than actually trying to sing them. He did have some rocking songs in his kitty for the audience but sadly his cracking voice and even worse sound systems made us feel that he could just choke midway through this performance.

Finally it was Hrithik Roshan’s turn, people were expecting him to give a great performance. He did. But he performed to songs from Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, Koi Mil Gaya and Dhoom 2, movies that came over a decade ago. Hrithik did have some great dance numbers in Bang Bang and could have easily performed to them rather than sticking to songs which most of us have gotten used to seeing at every other do. Also, the background dancers were completely out of sync, which only went on to make this strictly average act extremely poor!

Ranveer Singh is a crazy superstar

They say you need to be a little crazy to be an actor and Ranveer Singh has all the traits of being one. It is a little strange to see a youngster like him, who is only a few films old, coming up with antics others wouldn’t dare. Ha ha… Woh crazy hai! Till recently, it was a thumb rule to toe the line when you are still making your mark in the industry. You go by the book, but Ranveer differs here. No, I am not talking about his career choices. They have been fairly obvious, but his off-screen antics that make him much more interesting than his on-screen persona.

It was Hrithik Roshan who started the Bang Bang dare, perhaps to look cool and interesting since his tweets and facebook messages are hardly so. But it was Ranveer Singh’s craziness that snatched the opportunity away from him. Remember his Main Aisa Kyun hu gig in the middle of a busy road wearing the Krissh 3 getup? Only someone with such a sense of humour can take up this dare so perfectly. You have to be a bit crazy to actually accept a dare like that when you are a fairly known name. And Hrithik, better luck next time!

Obviously, Ranveer wouldn’t just stop at that. He needs to get weirder still. And how does he do that? He gets roasted with his best friend Arjun Kapoor! Yes, it was pretty abhorring for a few but just because it had Ranveer Singh at his slang-slinging best, many people watched it. Like it or not, not everyone can take that kind of mud-slinging without flinching. Guess Charlie Sheen finally has an Indian competitor in the roast league.

And you thought that was enough! He took on the High and mighty Mr. Don’t-Mess-With-Me-Or-You-Will-Have-It-Guy, Salman Khan for his Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Khan remarked in an interview that Bhansali should learn on the set etiquettes from Sooraj Barjatya. Ranveer without being insinuating towards Salman batted for Bhansali calling him a great director. Clever and cautious Ranveer! Last time someone stood up to Salman Khan, he was sent into exile for a long time, only to return with obscure films. He is still struggling, by the way!

But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. His latest musings left everyone in awe of Ranveer. The man tweeted live from the operation theatre while getting his shoulder operated after he suffered an injury on the sets of Bajirao Mastani. He is an actor and his work is to entertain till the last breathe. Guess he took this thought a little too seriously.

I agree he is a lot crazier than what I have mentioned. So now it’s your turn to tell us if you find him equally crazy like me?

Dharma Productions with Fox

What happens when two major production houses join hands? Well, that's exactly the question that arises with the news that Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has inked a six film deal with Fox Star Studios. While an official confirmation of the said deal is still awaited, we hear that Dharma has inked the deal with Fox to handle the distribution of their forthcoming films. In the past, it was UTV that had been distributing almost all the films that were produced under the Dharma banner. However, Dharma's only venture with Fox prior to this deal was for the Shah Rukh Khan - Kajol starrer My Name is Khan. According to reports, Dharma Productions is looking at a much bigger international release for their forthcoming films and hence has tied up with Fox to recreate the success of their previous venture My Name is Khan. Though currently no official confirmation is available, an announcement on the same is expected in the coming days.
