For Kangna Ranaut fans, here is a good news and a bad one.

kanganaFirst the good news. Kangna is soon going to start her website. The address is http://www.realkangnaranaut.com/.

Its not functional yet but will start in june. Kangna will be blogging and interacting directly with her fans.

Now the bad news : It seems all those news about Kangna doing a nude scene in a telugu film is completely false. And she has also said that she will never do a nude scene! So all you horny guys, who were waiting desperately and googling her day and night, forget it.

Till she changes her mind, drool over this pic of Kangna, from Daboo Ratnani’s calendar. Atleast you will know one secret – where the mole is! 😉 ( we could not resist ourselves from singing – tere seene me jo kala til hai, wahi to mera dil hai! Is this the song that Adhyayan Suman sang to woo Kangna ?)

For more on Kangna, check out this recent interview of hers.

Amitabh BachchanEven at 67, Amitabh Bachchan is busy as usual. Here are some new developments about his films..

1. Amitabh Bachchan has signed Vivek Sharma’s new film Buddham Sharanam Gacchami. Vivek has started his own prudction house called Film Zone. He earlier directed Bhoothnath and his next release Kal Kissne Dekha is ready for release.

2. Bachchan recently recorded a song for Ramu’s film Rann. He recorded the song with his good friend and music director Aadesh Srivastava.

3. Bachchan is not playing news editor Prannoy Roy in his new film Rann. Ramu clarified it in an interview recently. Rann is based on the way the news channels operate and manipulate news for better TRP’s. Rumours have been floating around for long time that Bachchan’s character in Rann is based on NDTV Channel head Prannoy Roy.

Indiafm has a sneak peek of Katrina Kaif’s look in the film De Dhana Dhan. The film is on floor and is directed by Priyadarshan. It also stars Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal. And from the name of the film, its very easy to guess what the film is all about. Isnt it ?

Here is the first promo of Ramu’s ( Ram Gopal Varma) new film Rann. The idea looks interesting but we can read controversy all over it. You dont play with national anthem, Mr Ramu!

Rann has Amitabh Bachchan, Sudeep, Ritesh Deshmukh, Gul Panag, Paresh Rawal, Rajat Kapoor, Suchitra Krishnamoorthy and Rajat Kapoor in lead roles.

Insider dope – Rann’s publicists have been calling up the news channels and asking when are they going to play the Rann promo on air. They are just waiting for it to create controversy and the right buzz for the film.

The Deadlock continues. Bollywood’s producers forum ( United Producers Forum)and Multiplexes Assosciation met today to find a solution on the revenue sharing issue. Multiplexes offered 50, 40, 30 percent profit share in 1st, 2nd and 3rd week of the film’s release.

Producers body insisted on 50%. Arguements. Counter arguements. No solution came out. Both the parties walked out finally.

Now, producers are planning to go ahead with their scheduled releases in single screens and the small independent multiplexes. So,  all you film buffs get ready and locate the single screen close to your home. Coming soon.

20th century Fox has sent a legal notice to B R Films ( Ravi Chopra) on plagiarism charges. For copying their film My Cousin Vinny and remaking it in hindi as Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai.

Ravi Chopra’s story – Since quite some time, Ravi Chopra has been telling everyone that they have officially bought the remake rights of the film My Cousin Vinny.

Real Dope – B R Films didnt buy the rights of My Cousin Vinny. They mailed the producers of the film stating that their film idea is similar to My Cousin Vinny. Everything else is different. Since there is no copyright on idea, 20th Century Fox asked Ravi Chopra to go ahead with his film.

20th Century Fox’s story – Now that the film is almost complete, the studio guys realised that its not only the idea but the film’s story is exactly the same as My Cousin Vinny.  Only few cosmetic changes have been made.

Where it stands – 2oth Century Fox has moved to Bombay High Court against B R Films. It has also sought Rs 7 crore as damages. Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai has Govinda, Tabu and Sushmita Sen in lead.

So, thats the real dope!

The Making of Zoozoo

Like us, if you are a big fan of Zoozoo ( the new vodafone commercial), then here is something more.  The making of Zoozoo commercials. First one is in english, next one has more details and is in hindi. Enjoy!

Well, there is nothing filmy here. But she deserves the headlines.  Shubhra Saxena has topped the UPSC ( Union Public Service Commission) Exams this year.

She quit a well paying IT job to sit for the IAS exams.  An IIT-Roorkee alumnus ( in Paper Technology 2002), Saxena joined Oracles in Hyderabad in 2002 but shifted to Noida when her software engineer husband Shashank began working for CSC. Soon, Shubhra too joined her husband in the same company, but she was not satisfied with her job.  Itching to serve the rural population, she would deliver free lectures to students who came to her for guidance on rural development schemes.  And then came the IAS dream.

Born in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareli, Saxena had most of her education in Jharkhand as her father was an engineer with Coal India.

And the cherry on the top is that this year, all the top three positions have been bagged by female candidates. At second position is Sharandeep Kaur who has done her MA from Punjab University. And Kiran Kaushal has secured the third position. Woohoo! Go Girls go!

Some people are born with all the luck. Otherwise how do you explain the success of Freida Pinto. She didnt have even 10minutes role in Slumdog Millionaire and she walked away with all the jazz.

Here’s a music video which she shot during Slumdog Millionaire and now its getting lot of attention because of her new found fame. Its for canadian singer Dal Hothi’s song I Promise You. Have a look
