Dev Patel stars in M Night Shyamalan’s new film The Last Airbender and the first pic is out. In the film, Dev plays the role of main villain Zuko, a firebender who manipulates flames. Patel has a black belt in taekwondo and it helped him in bagging the role.
Actress Neetu Chandra was recently doing a sexy photo-shoot for the magazine The Man’s cover. But it seems the pics and poses were too hot to handle.
People gathered there to catch a glipmse of the actress felt that Neetu was promoting lesbianism which is against our culture. They started shouting slogans claiming to be from Raj Thackeray’s MNS Party. Finally the shoot had to be stopped. Anyway, the magazine has decided to go ahead with the cover.
Before the magazine hit the stands, here’s a sneak peek at Neetu’s hot avtaar. The other model in the pic is Krishikha Gupta. And three cheers for Neetu, as bollywood actresses always shy away from bikini as if its some ET costume!
Here is a still of Amitabh Bachchan from the promotional campaign of his forthcoming film Aladin. The film is directed by Sujoy Ghosh and Amitabh plays the Genie. Ritesh Deshmukh and Sanjay Dutt also star in it. Do let us know what do u think about this pic…Genie Bachchan.
Salman Khan will be back as the host for the new season of Sony TV’s Dus Ka Dum. Here’s the first promo of this season.
We had no clue about this film till we saw the poster. Paresh Rawal, Om Puri and Pawan Malhotra on the poster, in lead roles. Wow. It rarely happens that such actors get any space on the poster of a film. We were sold, googled and here is more on the film.
Directed by Amit Rai ( any clue ?), here is the synopsis of the film…
Husmatullah (Paresh Rawal) is a mechanic and has a workshop in one of prominent muslim locality of Allahabad . He also is an office bearer of local mosque committee and is popular between peers and friends though not on good terms with the President of the committee Nawab Kasuri (Om Puri), a hardliner with a bitter history.
An old vintage engine comes to his workshop for repair which not only has a very significant national value but also is related to a very important event in the history.
As he sets to get it started, things around him take a different turn.
After a blast in the city, the local police does some arrest which is opposed by the community leaders and the local mosque committee. In the ensuing protest a young innocent boy is killed leading to a call of boycott from the mosque.
Hasmat joins the boycott only to realize the importance of the work at hand. As knowledge of the engine and its significance grows, Hasmatullah is drawn more and more towards a crossroad. As time and events grow around him, he finds himself standing on a rift with two sides parting further away with every passing moment. He has to take his call which will not only rekindle his philosophy but also will lead his community to a process of realization of higher motives and higher responsibilities.
It all about that old ford engine which once carried the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi….on the road to sangam. Mahatma is back! We are in.
For more details, pics and promos of the film, here is the official website.
……thats the problem. Nude scenes always make news in India…no, make it anywhere. Its the same. And this one is about Pankh.
The film has been in news since it was announced. Its inspired by the story of child actor Ahsaas Channa. (remember the kid in Ramu’s Vastu Shastra/Phoonk….she is not she, we mean, he is always dressed up as a girl. His dad filed a case against the mother for exploiting Ahsaas…making him dress up like a girl to get more work in films. Nobody had any clue about his gender till the matter reached court)
In similar way, Pankh is about a man who is treated as a woman by his mother since childhood and how, subsequently, he is confused about his sexuality. It stars Bipasha Basu, Lilette Dubey, Mahesh Manjrekar and Maradona Rebello (in lead role) and its directed by Sudipto Chattopadhya.
According to Mumbaimirror, the problem is regarding a nude scene in the film which Censor Board is not willing to certify. In the scene, the male actor (Maradona) is completely nude in front of his mother (Lillete Dubey) and his rear is exposed to the audience.
The film is produced by Sanjay Gupta and he has been asked to edit out the scene. But Guptaji is not is not willing to do so as he thinks the scene is crucial for the film.
After two dull posters and a boring still, a new poster of Imtiaz Ali’s film Love Aaj Kal is out. And its getting better, a bit atleast. We like this one. Have a look.
For other posters and still from the film, click here. The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Rishi Kapoor. Its produced by Eros International and Saif’s Illuminati Films.
Here is something for all you dog lovers. The ohhh..thats so cute moment! Now how is this related to cinema ? Well, we are talking about Amitabh Bachchan, and his pet. Got it?
