KrrishAfter Koi Mil Gaya, he wants them back! But not as the friendly Jadoo this time. He wants them to be big menace, powerful villains. The superhero played by Hrithik Roshan will get to beat them and save the world.

Also, the threat will be much bigger in the third part of the series. Tentatively titled Krrish2, the story will move beyond the family issue or anything to do with india. Post-Kites, Hrithik wants to go international, and on the lines of Hollywood superheroes, the aliens will be on the mission to destro the world. 

But there is a problem! According to gossipmongers, the writers developing the script of Krrish2 are not too excited with Hrithik’s idea of aliens. They feel alien villains will be too alien for desi junta. The script is still in development and has not been locked yet.

Papa Roshan also wants a fresh pair in the film. Ofcourse beta Roshan cant be replaced and so he is thinking about a new actress opposite him. Among the many other names, Deepika Padukone is a strong contender for the role. Once Kites is released, Rakesh Roshan will focus all his attention on Krrish2.

Glamsham.com has got new pics of Salman Khan-Kareena Kapoor starrer Main aur Mrs Khanna. Enjoy!

Thats what it looks like. And its a nasty one. To quote from Amitabh Bachchan’s recent post on his blog

Copy of aladin amitabh new-1A complete fabrication of thought word and deed. The calibre of the journal showeth. Or is this the calibre of its newly appointed ‘hack’ recently sacked (notice the rhyming ) from the entertainment editorial of a prestigious news paper. And if he is not careful of his inputs that he provides, as above, he shall be on his way for another sack !! May the Lord save this ‘begum’.

Its obvious and easy guess. Khalid Mohamed was the Entertainment Editor of Hindustan Times (HT) before he was sacked from there. Or did he quit ? According to gossipmongers, it all happened because of Amitabh Bachchan, who was tired of Khalid bajaoing him and his family members almost everyday, in HT. With the help of his bade bhaiyya Amar Singh, Big B pulled the last possible string and Khalid was sacked from Hindustan Times.

Recently Khalid moved to The Asian Age as the Entertainment Editor. The article that Bachchan is refering to in his post is a report published in the same paper. Here is the full post and the report. Whats more, Bachchan even warns him of another sack. It seems Big B surely loves to live upto his name.

But the last line is a mean one…May lord save the ‘begum’. Its not difficult to read that Bachchan is making fun of Khalid’s sexual preference and behaviour. Mr Bachchan, why stoop so low ?  So much gyaan about your father’s literature and legacy and it comes down to this! You can do better. Or do you just pretend ?

Now it may sound impossible, but there was a time when Khalid and Bachchans were great chaddi-buddies. Guess what happened ? Dekhi zamane ki yaari…bicchde sabhi baari baari….

This one is fightclub exclusive. And by exclusive, we mean it, unlike others.

vidhu vinod chopraThis is one insane man whom we absolutely adore. Because this man loves and worships cinema. Here goes our xclusive dope….Vidhu Vinod Chopra is busy developing a new script tentatively titled Pachasvi Saalgirah (50th Anniversary). As the name suggests, its about an old couple who are soon going to celebrate their 50th marriage anniversary (isnt that rare these days). And so whats the plan ? The old man wants to spend the anniversary night in a five star hotel, his long cherished dream. Then ? Well, the script is still being developed. So all you curious folks have to wait some more. We will get you more when it happens.

Also, Munnabhai Chale Amreeka and Ferarri Ki Sawari’s story sessions are very much on. But looks like Talisman may not happen soon. The priority is Broken Horses after Three Idiots which is almost done.

Dope on Raj Kumar Hirani’s Three Idiots – Aamir Khan is NOT playing a college student in the film. No need to worry about his looks and get up any more. He plays a mysterious character who lands up in a college to spread some gud old philosophy about education system..whats right and whats not! 

Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminey is ready for release. And like us, if you are dying to know what is Vishal upto this time, here is some dope. Glamsham.com has the film’s synopsis…

kamineyGuddu (Shahid Kapoor) and Charlie (Shahid Kapoor) are brothers, born and raised in Dharavi, the world’s largest slum dwelling in the heart of the megalopolis, Mumbai.

They also happen to be identical twins, in early twenties, hoping to leave the squalor behind and move into a life of prosperity and dignity. But the similarity ends here.

Guddu works as a trainee in a small NGO firm in the city. He hopes to climb up to the top of the corporate ladder. He wants to be a bona fide member of the burgeoning Indian middle class. His career has only just begun though and the road to bourgeoisie is both long and arduous. Yet Guddu is at it. He is honest, diligent and careful. Especially careful.

Charlie makes a living hedging bets at the race course. He moves around the plush hordes of the rich and famous at the races. For him this is just a way to make quick money and he dreams of becoming a legitimate bookie one day. Charlie is street smart, wily and brave. And only for himself.

The brothers don’t like each other. They believe they have nothing in common, not even their speech defect. While Guddu stammers, especially when he is nervous, Charlie has a lisp. The brothers have built their lives so that their paths don’t ever cross. They believe it’s only a question of time before they are out of each other’s sight forever.

All that is about to change. In one day. A day of reckoning. An unusual day; just right for the unusual events that unfold in its course.

Credits – Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj (Maqbool, Omkara, Makdee, The Blue Umbrella), Kaminey stars Shahid Kapur (in a double role), Priyanka Chopra as a middle-class Marathi girl and Amole Gupte (writer of Taare Zameen Par) in a negative role. The music of the film has been scored by director Vishal himself and lyrics by maestro Gulzar.

7 Days in Paris – Thats the title of Sanjay Doom Gadhvi’s new film, according to indiafm. The film is produced by Studio18, the same guys who released Gadhvi’s last shitbuster Kidnap. BTW, if you are still clueless about Imran and Studio18’s connection, let us inform you that Imran’s girlfreind Avantika Malik is the daughter of Studi018 boss Vandana Malik. Thats simple calculation, isnt it!

Here is more on the film from the site

Sanjay plans to begin filming in June-end/July, “because I want to capture the summer in Europe,” he reveals, “It’s a uniquely structured script, but I can’t reveal much at this stage.” Sanjay plans to wrap almost 85% of the film in Paris, while the remaining portions will be filmed in London and Mumbai.

rituparno ghoshLike us, if you were shocked to see the booby makeover of director Rituparno Ghosh (see pic) then here is the real dope behind it. 

According to Bombay Times, the director is all set to make his acting debut in Kaushik Ganguly’s bengali film Chaya Chobi. In the film he plays the role of an artist who feels as a woman, trapped in a man’s body.  The role is a tribute to the legendary jatra (bengal’s tradition of folk theatre) actor Chapal Bhaduri who used to play women’s role on stage. This lead to sexual confusions in Bhaduri’s life which is the main plot of the film. 

Rituparno is also learning Kathak dance for the same. In the film, he starts as a jatra actor and becomes a film director who is in a relationship with a cinematographer. Bengali actor Indranil plays a bisexual actor who has a relationship with Raima Sen’s and Rituparno’s characters. Raima plays the role of a research assistant working on the film. Its film in a film story.

Woohoo….this is one daring plot! we love it…fuck the indian censor and the sensibility! Lets get some controversy onboard! Even if its not for real, Rituparno’s makeover is surely going to get loads of eyeballs and lot of newsprint.

love-aaj-kal new posterLove Aaj Kal – as the name suggests, its about the changing philosophy of love. What was it yesterday and how is it today ?

With fast food joints, coffee shops, quick delivery pizzas and nachos, has the love quotient also changed or is it still the same ? Bollywood’s new love guru Imtiaz Ali ponders over it.

The conclusion – well, we all know. Its a happy ending. The style has changed but the experience remains the same. Here is some exclusive info about the film’s synopsis.

Love Aaj Kal is the story of Jai ( Saif Ali Khan) and Meera (Deepika Padukone). It starts at a cafe in London which is run by Vir Singh ( Rishi Kapoor). The duo meet, jump into bed first and then they fall in love. With Jai-Meera’s love story, there is parallel track of Vir Singh, his love story with Harleen, which happens in flashback and is set in Delhi. One is today’s love story and the other is of yesteryears. Saif Ali also plays the younger Vir Singh (Rishi Kapoor). And who is Harleen ? Deepika ? We got no clue. Rahul Khanna also has a cameo in the film.
