Here is the first look of Pankaj Advani’s film Sankat City. Two posters of the film. The film stars Kay Kay Menon, Rimi Sen, Rahul Dev, Chunky Pandey, Anupam Kher and Yashpal Sharma among others. Those who have seen it, cant stop raving about Pankaj Advani and the film. We are waiting!
After a gap of almost 19 years, Amitabh Bachchan and Mithun Chakraborty will work together again if everything goes all well. The film is Vivek Sharma’s Buddham Sharanam Gacchami. The duo were last seen in Agneepath.
The film will be produced by Vivek’s film production banner Film Zone. Its a well known fact in the industry that the two veteran actors are not on the best of terms. During his heydays, Bachchan smartly calculated all his moves and played dirty with many, pretending as if he knows nothing. Shatrughan Singh, Rajesh Khanna, Mithun Chakraborty, Dharmendra – they all had many bitter experiences with Big B, anyone can give shitload of dope.
Mithun, though bitter about Bachchan, doesnt speak out publicly against him. Its always “No comments” when its about Bachchan. Same with others, except Shatrughan Sinha who doesnt shy away from firing his shotgun. With Bachchan, its the standard reply to every controversial question. Conclusion is simple to draw, he is holier than thou and the world around him is bitter. Or its all just imgaination of an idle mind. Huh! But if the two veteran actors come together, it will be interesting to watch for sure!
Pyaar Impossible is Yashraj Films Productions’ new movie starring Uday Chopra and Priyanka Chopra. Its a romantic comedy and is positioned as ” 1 beauty + 1 geek = PI ( Pyaar Impossible)”. Back to men from mars and women from venus concept! Guys, can we please have something new!
Anyway, Uday plays Abhay, a geeky guy and Priyanka plays Alisha. The film is directed by Jugal Hansraj and will have music by Salim-Suleiman. And here is the WTF info of the film – the film is written by UDAY CHOPRA! Yey, we are not joking!
For more details, here is the website link – www.pyaarimpossible.in . The website has an introduction by Uday Chopra, video blog by Jugal Hansraj on the first day of shoot and some pics of the film’s muhurat. The look of the leading actors of the film has not been revealed yet. Nothing impressive so far!
The Diving Bell and the butterfly – in recent times, we havent seen a film more powerful than this one. When we heard the story, it seemed too difficult to be adapted into a film. When we saw the film, we had no words. Watch it to know the language of cinema.
Julian Schnabel, who directed The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is directing a new film called Miral. Its based on a book of the same name, written by Palestinian-Italian Rula Jebreal, who has co-written the script. Jebreal is a hugely popular broadcaster, known of her views on immigration and foreign affairs.
The book is about Hind Husseini, who attempts to open an orphanage, and eventually does, in Jerusalem after the war in 1948 and the struggles thereafter. The film’s events will start in 1948 and end with Husseini’s death in 1994. Hiam Abbas (The Visitor) plays the lead role in the film. Freida Pinto also stars in it, plays the role of a palestinian girl ( see pic).
The film is shot entirely in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
First came out the pics and now the video. Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were spotted together in Tel Aviv. Though the Slumdog Millionaire actors have denied any link ups but it seems they are a couple now. Freida is shooting for Julian Schnabe’s film Miral currently.
If you missed the pics, here is the link.
After many denials, they have finally come out together. Or were they caught ? People magazine has published exclusive pictures of Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, sharing a meal at a restaurant in Tel Aviv. The Slumdog Millionaire actors came close during the worldwide promotional activities of the film.
Freida already has few big films in her kitty. She is currently shooting for Julian Schnabel’s new film Miral. Dev flew in from London to be with her. Dev’s mother has confirmed that the two are a couple. All it takes, is just one film!
Yashraj Films never believed in any kind of film promotional events. They always believed that they have the stars. Events or no events, they will be able to sell the tickets. They dont need anything else.
UTV did the opposite. Did all possible promotional stuff. They went ahead with the big idea of the films, stars or no stars. And in the last two years UTV has gone much ahead of Yashraj Films in every sense of cinema and its business. With a bunch of disasters and stupid movies in their kitty, the Yashraj brand no longer has the charm or the power. Gone are the good old days. Earlier they used to bully around with multiplexes, distributors and sometimes, even with the press. Not any more.
It seems Yashraj Films have realised their fault. So, they invited the media to announce their new film Pyaar Impossible. Jugal Hansraj will direct the film and Uday Chopra will star in it alongwith Priyanka Chopra. If gossipmongers are to be believed, the film is inspired by Julia Roberts starrer Notting Hill.
And even the pics of the muhurat have been given out to media. Well, desperate times, desperate measures. May be, for some more buzz. Hope Aditya Chopra learns few more lessons from UTV soon.
Glamsham.com has published the muhurat pics of Pyaar Impossible.

Zoozoos!! We love them. And the world around us also loves the Zoozoos. On Facebook, they have more than 1,30,000 fans. But seems music director Vishal Dadlani belongs to some other tribe. And has much better taste than us. Because Vishal HATES Zoozoo. According to a report in Mid-day, here’s what Vishal thinks about Zoozoo…
…What is this ZooZoo shit! They’re just gay mice! We don’t have the time to vote, we have the inclination to be fascinated by gay mice! Gotaa love the assholes who make up my city!
…..ZooZoo symbolises the nothingness of our minds. It’s like dumb shit has become a way of life for people in this country. Personally, I think they are irritating.
…..Don’t you see a Barbie doll and want to break her neck?”
No problem, if you dont like them. But dude, you are mixing two completely different issues. Vishal, Whats the connection between not voting and liking Zoozoos ? We didnt get it. If you, let us know. Also, would like to know where has Vishal posted this blog ? Anyone, any clue ? Do let us know. Mid-day hasnt published the blog details.
