Now Salman engaged with Mrs. Khanna?

Salman Khan is extremely popular in Bollywood for his whole hearted generosity to even strangers who approach him for help. There have been plenty of instances when Salman has gone out of his way to do things for his industry friends and even his films’ unit members and staff just to bring a smile on their face. Now it seems his good habit has rubbed off on younger brother Sohail as well.

Reveals a source, “Sohail is presently in a great mood since his Main Aur Mrs Khanna starring Salman and Kareena, is finally ready to release. The promos of the film that have been delayed long will go on air soon. But Sohail has his post-production team and editing staff to thank for it as they have finished the editing and other post production chores in double the time.

And Sohail, who was mighty impressed, immediately ordered a set of hi-end Swiss watches from the manufacturer and asked them to be delivered pronto. Sohail also organised a private party for the team of technicians, who worked on the project and personally gave them the watches much to their surprise and excitement.

Magadheera Review: It’s Not A Movie But Historical Wonder

Film: Magadheera Rating: 4/5 Cast: Ram Charan, Kajal, Dev Gil, Srihari, Surya, Sarath Babu, Sunil, Brahmananadam, Hema, Chiranjeevi, Kim Sharma, Mumaith Khan, Subbaraya Sharma, Rao Ramesh etc Editing: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao Music: Keeravani Cinematography: Senthil Kumar Fights: Ram Laxman and Peter Heins Lyrics: Chandrabose, Keeravani and Bhuvanachandra Released On: 31st July 2009 The much awaited ‘Magadheera’ has arrived. It has created huge expectations by the virtue of its posters, trailers and above all the music. Finally let us see if it has reached those expectations. Story: Harsha (Ram Charan) is a young man who earns money on bike races and bets. He loves such adventures on two wheelers. He happens to touch the hand of a young girl Indu (Kajal) accidentally and that ‘soul touch’ connects his present to the past. What’s the past? That’s 1609 AD when Kalabhaiarava (Ram Charan) was the warrior in Udaigarh who trains the soldiers. The Senadhipathi Randheer (Dev Gil) lusts on Yuvarani Mitravinda (Kajal) but the latter loves Kalabhirava. That results in a huge battle between Randheer and Kalabhairava which puts end for their lives. Sher Khan (Sri Hari), the Muslim invader witnesses the valor and love of Kalabhairava and salutes to him. They take rebirth as Harsha and Indu. And many characters from the past also come to present with the soul connectivity. But where? What happens to them? How the past life matters for them in present life? That has to be watched on big screen to experience the marvelous treat along with unleashing those queries. Performances: Ram Charan: He stood as an icon of macho look. He portrayed the 1609 AD role, Kalabhaiarava, with right bearing and voice modulation. Chiranjeevi’s yester year’s voice echoed in the ears of audiences with that modulation of Ram Charan for that character. His dances are spellbinding, especially in ‘Bangaru Kodi petta..’. Kajal: She is the right choice and perfect blend. Her elegance is amazing in queen’s role. Sri Hari: His portrayal as Muslim warrior Sher Khan is quite wonderful. He added value to the movie on a whole. Dev Gill: This Bollywood villain has shared screen in the main antagonist role. He proved perfect particularly in ‘past birth role’. Others: Sarath Babu is ok in the role of old king, the father of Yuva Rani Mitravinda. Rao Ramesh perfectly grooved in the role of Aghora Sadhu with apt gait and voice modulation Brahmanandam and Hema got wasted Sunil’s comedy is ok to large extent Technical departments: The movie deserves right mention for music, sound effects, graphics, 3D effects, Cinematography and Choreography. What not! Every technical faculty has rightly worked on this film. Director Rajamouli should be appreciated for his guts to bring such a massive film on Telugu screen. Allu Aravind should be esteemed for his wonderful production values. Music And Lyrics: Keeravani and Chandrabose have created wonder with music and lyrics. Every word has aptly grooved into the situation in finest musical form. Jorse Jorse is like a sheer poetry drawn on a canvass Naakosom Juttu Peekkunte (written by Keeravani) is hilarious and entertaining Panchadaara Bomma will be one of lifetime melody hits in Ram Charan’s filmography Bangaru Kodi petta (penned by Bhuvanachandra) surpassed the older one in choreography Dheera Dheera is the song that was ever pictured on Indian screen so far Magadheera…(rolling title song) is innovative and interesting with the dances of Allu Aravind, Keeravani, Rajamouli, Rama Rajamouli, Ali, Sunil, Brahmanandam, Kajal, Kim Sharma, Mumaith Khan, Saloni, BA Raju and every technician worked in the movie Above all the background music stood as backbone for the movie Highlights: Marvelous art work carried to portray Udaigadh city of 1609AD Battle between Kalabhairava and 100 soldiers of Sher Khan Wonderful picturization of Dheera Dheera song Lord Shiva’s statue that brings hysterical feeling Helicopter and bike stunts of Ram Charan Disappointments: Brahmanandam-Hema comedy Chiranjeevi’s episode Dialogues in first 44 minutes Analysis: “This is our movie-our Telugu movie. This is our pride. This is the creation happened with the cognizance of our Telugu director”…would be the feel of every Telugu film lover while watching this film. Words wouldn’t suffice to explain the experience of technical extravaganza depicted in this film. It’s just spellbinding. The range of Telugu film has gone to a higher plane with this film. The maker Rajamouli and producer Aravind should be appreciated unconditionally. And kudos would go to the technical team that has kept its brilliance to make this movie a wonder. Keeping the first 44 minutes away the rest of the movie arrests the audiences completely. The first 44 minutes would literally keep the pulse of audiences down and confused. Pale dialogues, insipid scenes between Brahmanandam and Hema, weak portrayal of Chiranjeevi in a senseless scene would let down the audiences. The real tempo starts as soon as the completion of the song ‘Naakosam nuvvu juttu peekkunte baagundi..’ The momentum develops with the first horse riding scene of Ram Charan chasing a bus. The interval scene hooks the audiences with lot of enthusiasm for sure. And the audiences can never turn their head and blink eye lid from then till climax. And the audiences come out from theatre with the experience of a rollercoaster ride, with the sound reverberating in hearts, with a heavy hangover of watching a new facet of Telugu cinema. The film proves to a historical one with respect to patronage of audiences of all classes. Rating Judgment: The movie scores 4/5 by the virtue of technical values and adventurous attempt. It would have scored bigger if the first 44 minutes were also dealt well with sensible comedy and treatment. Verdict: It’s good to watch the film as soon as possible.

Deepika House full with Lara and Jiah and more

Unlike other actors, who are reluctant about taking up multi-starrer projects, Deepika Padukone has firm belief in herself and no insecurity about her talent. No wonder then that she has signed ‘House Full’, which also stars sexy sirens like Lara Dutta and Jiah Khan as well as talented actors like Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh.

Directed by Sajid Khan, ‘House Full’ is a laugh-riot throughout. Talking about the film, Deepika said that her role is very meaty and interesting.

"You have to see the kind of script that has been offered to you before making a judgment around whether it is a solo heroine or a multiple heroine film", Deepika said to a news daily from London where she is currently shooting for ‘House Full’.

"There are certain scripts which can`t be complete without number of characters coming together; ‘House Full’ is one of them. Yes, the film is a multi-starrer but frankly, I don`t have a problem working in such films. How does my role fit in the film? Well, of course it had to be meaty enough for me to say yes," Deepika said.

Well, we hope it is meatier than the roles of Lara and Jiah or Deepika may end up repenting about choosing a multi-starrer project.

I want to be a mom, suggest me Hilton

Still on a lookout for a perfect match, Paris Hilton recently told FOX Pop Tarts about her dream of becoming a mother someday.

Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of Paris, Not France, the socialite-actor said, "Of course I want to have a family and be a mom. I want to be like my mom who is amazing and she has four beautiful children so I’d love to have that one day."

The blonde beauty also explained how her party girl image is completely inconsistent with the reality that is her busy and taxing lifestyle. "When I lived in NY, when I was 16, everyone used to think I was just a party girl but there’s a lot of work that goes into it and it is not just about being photographed and going to parties."

She went on to add, "I have to travel the world promoting my brand, I have to be designing. I have to be doing so many things so it’s not just all fun and games.

Amrita’s curvy way ahead

We spotted Amrita Rao at a resto-bar in South Mumbai, and we don’t know what the fashion gurus have to say, but our verdict is that the gal looked hot.

She’s surely taken her sexy avatar seriously, and we think it will be a ‘curvy’ (pun intended) way ahead for this babe. Well, it was about time, wasn’t it? The gal was quite a head-turner that night. With just a healthy glass of water and healthier veggie sushi in her plate, we don’t know what looked more delectable.

Lol! Don’t worry gal, munch on. With that lean frame of yours, the weight ain’t going anywhere. Not to the bod, at least! Uh, huh.

Bollywood actors Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwary Rai Bachchan failed to return to their hotel just after shooting for their new film "Ravan" on Wednesday evening after an elephant went out of control and killed its mahout.

The incident, which occurred after the shooting around 5 p.m. in Athirapally waterfalls area, blocked the road at nearby Athirapally forest area of Kerala's Thrissur district.

Kunju, the elephant, stood in the middle of the road, thus, obstructing the traffic to move through the road.

As per the latest information "Kunju" had been controlled by chaining it veterinary doctors were on their way from Thrissur to attend the disgruntled elephant, possibly to tranquillise it. .

The killed mahout was Andavan, aged 51.

"Ravan"is being shot in Hindi and Tamil at the thick forests near the waterfalls. Abhishek plays the lead role in the Hindi version while Tamil actor Vikram plays the lead role in regional version, with Aishwarya being the heroine in both versions of the film.

erala's Athirapally waterfalls has been one of the favourite locations for major blockbuster films in south India.

Noted film director Mani Ratnam's "Dil Se" song "Jiya Jale", and the film Guru song "Barso re" were shot at the Athirapally waterfalls.

Located at the entrance to Sholayar ranges, it's a favourite location of film makers. Athirappally Waterfalls is located 78 kms from Kochi (Cochin).

The Athirappally falls join the Chalakkudy river after plummeting down 80 ft. The cool spray that covers a large area near the falls makes Athirapally a scenic location.

Sneha a bikini act soon?

Looks like actress Sneha is all set to experiment with different roles in the industry. The soft spoken actress, who’s famous for her girl next door image in movies like Anandham, Parthiban Kanavu and Pirivom Sandhippom, turned glamorous last year with Pandi, starring Lawrence. She wore revealing clothes and also shook her hips to a sensuous number in the film.

Then, she turned to action with Bhavani IPS, which is still under production. And now, the latest buzz doing the rounds is that, after Nayanthara, Shriya, Anushka and Priyamani, Sneha too will join the bikini brigade.

Sneha, in a recent interview, made some observations about the bikini act. She said that she wasn’t reluctant to don a bikini if the script demanded it, and if it would work out commercially for the film.

Meanwhile, the actress has been on a crash diet and has become pencil thin. This has lent credence to rumours making the rounds that Sneha has done a two piece bikini act for Venkat Prabhu’s Goa, which is being shot in Langkawi beach in Malaysia.

The certificate awarded to a film by the censor board impacts its collection.Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminey has run into trouble with the censors and even after the revising committee saw the film, they refused to give it the U/A certificate that he was hoping for.

Forgotten Hotties knocking Bolly wood

Raveena Tandon was arguably the "Mast Cheez" among the Bollywood sirens of the 1990s. She made her mark in both commercial and arthouse movies.

Raveena, who made an impressive debut with ’Pathar Ke Phool’ (she got her the "Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut" in 1991), became a superstar in Bollywood with ’Mohra’, in which she and Akshay Kumar danced to the super hit song, "Tu cheez badi he masth masth…".

Paris Hilton warns young girls against sex tapes

Socialite heiress Paris Hilton has a word of advice for young girls who could give in to pressure from boyfriends and make “humiliating” sex tapes with them: Don’t. The blonde beauty was devastated when X-rated footage of her and ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon surfaced in 2003 and has vowed to stop other girls from agreeing to film themselves engaging in sex acts to please their lovers, reports imdb.com.

“I want young girls to never put themselves in that situation I was in. Don’t ever let someone talk you into doing something you don’t want to do,” she said.

“I was humiliated, embarrassed and in shock that it happened. It wasn’t my fault, it was something that someone did to me, so I’ve just learned to be a strong woman and nothing can hurt me at this point…”

“It was definitely very painful. When you trust someone and love someone - for them to do that to you, it’s really hard. It’s something that bothers me every day,” she added.

The 28-year-old hotel heiress also receives a percentage of profits from that footage, which was eventually released as a DVD entitled “One Night in Paris

Ghosted a true lesbian love story

Filmmaker Monika Treut, who has long explored gay and lesbian themes and also has made a documentary about Taiwan, combines those interests in her latest narrative feature, ‘Ghosted,’ which awkwardly interweaves mystery and supernatural aspects into a lesbian love story.

Few will be interested, other than the veteran filmmaker`s dedicated fan base. The film opens on Friday via First Run Features.

The story, told in confusingly time-hopping fashion, depicts the burgeoning relationship between Sophie (Inga Busch), a Hamburg-based conceptual artist, and Wang Mei-li (Hu Ting-ting), a Taiwanese reporter. The two meet when Sophie opens her latest exhibition, devoted to her late lover, Chen Ai-ling (Huan-ru Ke), who died under mysterious circumstances.

As Mei-Li aggressively pursues Sophie romantically and professionally, a series of flashbacks gradually reveals the details of Sophie`s relationship with Ai-ling, who traveled to Hamburg in order to get information about her vanished father from her restaurateur uncle (Jack Kao).

Magadheera With Jackie Chan's Movie Shades

Ever since the film ‘Magadheera’ has been exciting one and all, many of them have also been coming up with various analysis and what the content of the film is going to be like. Here is another version that is currently making rounds.

Sources reveal that the film is finding a similarity with the Hollywood movie ‘The Myth’ which had the famous Jackie Chan along with the hot and raunchy seductress Mallika Sherawat. The film revolves around a great warrior general and his love for the queen of the kingdom.

While it is not sure how similar they are, some say that it could have taken a lead from the Jackie starrer. However, with the brilliant S S Rajamouli at the helm, there will be a scope for originality and variety say many.

I’m surrounded by ‘Stylish’ men: Deepika Padukone

She hasn’t come across any ill-behaved men in Bollywood yet!!.Deepika Padukone has been on a dream ride and worked with some true gentlemen ever since she stepped into tinsel town. Her first co-star Shahrukh Khan is known for his impeccable manners.

Ranbir Kapoor of course is the most important man in her life, perhaps after her champ dad. And Akshay Kumar has been very caring about her on the sets of House Full in London where Deepika is presently down with malaria. Deepika feels lucky to be surrounded by such gents.

“I’m lucky to be surrounded by gallant men. Whether it’s my dad, Ranbir, Akshay, Shah Rukh Khan or any of my co-stars, I haven’t so far encountered any ill-behaved men,” Deepika is quoted

Interestingly, Deepika omits the mention of Saif Ali Khan, her co-star in this Friday’s release Love Aaj Kal. It’s not that Saif isn’t gallant; just that he stayed mostly to himself on the sets of the film, giving her all the space she needed.

The movie has Saif and Deepika playing a modern day couple in London and San Francisco. Her character is a die-hard romantic, but Saif plays a man who doesn’t realize what his heart wants.

Trisha's Pub Controversies For Bollywood Fame

The best way to attain publicity is sometimes through controversy, at least that seems to be the formula which is adapted by a few in the film circuit. The age old method that many used was a link up between the heroines and the cricketers for good or bad reasons. This time, it is none other than Trisha who is currently in the limelight. Apparently, her supposed tussle with cricketer Hemang Badani has been making hot rounds but the pretty girl has condemned the whole issue and also threatened legal action against those responsible for this buzz. Meanwhile, one can also recall the likes of the long legged beauty Lakshmi Rai who was linked to M S Dhoni sometime back. While the truth part of it is still a mystery, the outcome of this has been huge publicity and given Trisha’s debut into Bollywood, this looks like a way to start.

It’s Wise To Release Adavi In M Fever

Right now, there is a fever of sorts that is currently running among the Telugu audience and the Tollywood folks. It is the ‘M-fever’ otherwise known as the ‘Magadheera’ fever. However, another man has taken the courage to face the onslaught of ‘Magadheera’. He is none other than Ram Gopal Varma who is known for his fearless march and this time, he is arriving with his movie ‘Adavi’ on August 7th, barely a week after Charan’s magnum opus. Many are said to be predicting that this is a bad move since the movie will not run well. On the contrary, the experts say that Ramu is doing the right thing. Due to the ‘Magadheera’ fever it is obvious that getting the tickets would be a tough task so ‘Adavi’ stands as second best option given its genre and also the oomph factor of Priyanka Kothari in it.

Magadheera Movie Duration 3 Hr 20 Min

Magadheera’s Censor is over as reported earlier but the problem as many say is with the length of movie. It lasted for about 3 hr 20 minutes it seems. Earlier there was also a tiff between Allu Aravind and Rajamouli regarding the length of the movie as per a birdie. It was 3 hr 40 minutes earlier which was questioned by Aravind as it’s too long that tests the patience of audience. He forced Rajamouli to cut it shorter. Although not completely convinced with Aravind, there was no other way for Rajamouli than to cut short the length. Finally it landed at 3 hr 20 minutes. We have to see how this lengthy treat entices audiences.

Mallika avoids nude shot again?

When we first saw the promos of Mallika Sherawat starrer Hissss, we got the impression that she has indeed given a nude shot in the film. There were sequences seen in the extended promo that showed a nude butt shot of Mallika sliding in the mud and turning into a deadly snake.

We were in fact the first ones to have reported about it back then. While it suggested it was her, we have now found out that it is actually a body double used instead of Mallika.

So what actually happened to this dare bare attitude girl who once shed all her inhibitions on screen? It is learnt that when the shoot for the shot was going to take place, she requested to the film’s director, Jennifer Lynch that she would not be able to do the scene and it would be better to use a body double. Jennifer perhaps understood her predicament and canned the shot with a body double.

But this hasn’t been the first instance when Mallika has chickened out of giving a nude shot. Apparently, she was earlier supposed to do a nude scene in Mahesh Bhatt’s Murder (2004) but when she reached the sets she developed cold feet.

Nicole Kidman’s son Connor ‘has the hots for Miley Cyrus’

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s adopted son Connor has apparently fallen for teen sensation Miley Cyrus.

The 14-year-old, who starred as a young Will Smith in the film Seven Pounds, has fallen for Cyrus after “shadowing her” on the set of her Disney show Hannah Montana.

Connor first met Cyrus after dad, Cruise, took him to one of the Hanna Montana shows in a bid to inspire him to get into acting.

“Tom thought it would be a good experience for him to see how other performers around his age work,” the Courier Mail quoted an insider as telling Star.

“It started as business but Miley was so sweet, Connor couldn’t help having feelings for her!” the insider added.

Michael Jackson up for Nobel Peace Prize?

Fans of pop legend Michael Jackson, including Indian admirers, have launched a massive online campaign to have their idol nominated for the coveted Nobel Peace Prize.

The Thriller hitmaker whose sudden death on June 25 resulted in a global outpouring of sorrow, is the ideal candidate for the prestigious prize, according to his fans who are lobbying for the late pop icon.

The groups which are active on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, have thousands of members who have signed a petition which will be sent to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, the deciding body based in Norway.

"He has done a great deal for this world and he deserves this for his contribution to humanity. If not him who else?" wrote Ramaswamy from India, on one of the petition sites.

The petitioners from all around the world are campaigning for Jackson citing the humanitarian work
undertaken by the ’King of Pop’.

"Michael Jackson deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work! I don’t nominate him for his musical work or artist expression but for his compassion for all things living on this earth," wrote Antoinette Albert from California.

The campaigners cite the various charities aided by the singer, who had written the unity anthem We Are The World to raise awareness about the famine stricken countries of Africa during the 80’s.

"It would be nearly impossible to count the multiple hundreds of millions of dollars Michael has donated to charity from his own finances
and also through organising major fund raising events," reads one of the online petitions.

An online group which had earlier campaigned for Jackson’s nomination last year has also emerged. "We are a group of Michael Jackson fans who last year sent a letter to highly ranked people such as Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan and the United Nations," reads their website ForMichael.org.

As the number of people joining the petition increases, Jackson who died at the age of 50 of a suspected cardiac arrest, could quickly become a front-runner amongst other international names like Chinese activist Hu Jia and Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Quang.

Marriage will happen when it happens :Kareena

The actress says she will concentrate on her work for the next two years. Will they, won’t they? Tabloids have been guessing at when Saif and Kareena are going to walk down the aisle, but Kareena put all speculation to rest on Monday evening at an event to promote a bridal line of jewellery.

"Jab plan hoga, toh hoga. Abhi toh marraige ka plan nahi hai. Jab hoga tab aap logo ko pata chal jayega. Par filhal toh do saal tak koi plan nahi hai." (It will happen when it happens. Right now there are no plans - at least not for the next two years.")

The choice to endorse a bridal line of jewellery wasn’t really a reflection of Kareena’s state of mind, but it surely said a lot about what the actress might really want to wear on D-day.

"Something like I normally like to wear - more elegant, yet classic. Emeralds or diamonds maybe. Basically something soft," she said.

Too bad, Saif is too busy promoting Love Aaj Kal to take the hint.

Did Nikhil Chinappa ask for sexual favours?

Controversy’s split wide open on TV show Splitsvilla 2.The show ended almost a month ago, but the allegations are surfacing now. First, eliminated contestants Varun Jhamb and Nalini Negi alleged that “some of the top crew members, including the director, had slept in the same room as top contender Joanna Magee; and others engaged in sexual favours, especially towards the end.”

Now, Swagata G Shah is screaming herself hoarse about an alleged sex scandal. In a tell-all interview to a tabloid, this ex-contestant alleged that the contestants had to give sexual favours to the crew members that included, to the surprise of many, Nikhil Chinappa as well. DT got talking to some of the people embroiled in the controversy.

Siddhartha, winner: We all knew that there’d be only two winners and loads of losers. What was expected of them was that they’d take their defeat graciously. But that that’s where they’ve all up.

Probably, when she was eliminated, she didn’t expect the show to be such a hit. And when she realised that she hadn’t gotten much out of it, this is what she’s resorted to.

Nikhil Chinappa: I don’t want to comment on it. The channel will come out with an official statement soon. After all, it’s about the channel’s image and mine.

Rajiv Laxman (Creative director of the show): I categorically deny these allegations. We have strict rules that prevent the mingling of the crew with the cast.

There’s been a lot of learning from this incident. In our forthcoming season, we’ll make sure that a thorough background check is done on the cast.
