The HangoverAges ago, we told you so! Here is the post where we wrote about how bollywood biggies are desperate to remake The Hangover.

And according to Mumbai Mirror, Firoz Nadiadwala has purchased the remake rights of the film. But according to our sources, the final deal is still not done and negotiation is on. Papers not signed yet.

The remake will be directed by Anees Bazmee. Abhishek Bachchan will play Bradley Cooper’s role and Paresh Rawal will step into the shoes of Zach Galifianakis. Ritesh Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt and Katrina Kaif might join the gang too. The 4o plus actor whom we mentioned in our earlier post is Sanju Baba who is damn interested to get the remake rights for his production house.  

All we can say is what happens in Las Vegas, should stay in Las Vegas. And should never come to bollywood! 

Jab We MetThe season of the sequels is back, with a good news and a bad one.Singh is King

Imtiaz Ali is planning a sequel to Jab We Met. What will happen to Geet and Aditya post-marriage ? Nothing is confirmed yet. Its just an idea. Or may be its a PR-driven feature to have some more buzz for Love Aaj Kal. For the full report, click here.

And the bad news. Remember Shit is King. Producer Vipul Shah is planning to make a sequel and plans to direct it himself. The first one was directed by Anees Bazmee. Happy Singh with Nappy Singh jokes will be back, in a different setting.

Akshay KumarAccording to the news buzz, Akshay Kumar has signed a new film with UTV Motion Pictures. The film will be directed by Anees Bazmee and is titled Thank You.  It seems Akshay has been a fat paycheck even during these recession times. The big question is will Akshay Kumar score a hattrick with Anees Bazmee after Welcome & Singh Is King ?

Thank You is a comic caper and Neil Nitin Mukesh will also star in it. The leading ladies are yet to be finalised.

BTW, we think Akshay Kumar (AK)  should change his name to PAK – Punju Akshay Kumar.  Because in almost every other film he is playing the same good ol’ Punju and doing similar stuff.

Shortkut - The con is onShortkut – The con is On. Shortkut with a “K”, whatever that means. Produced by Anil Kapoor, directed by Neeraj Vora, written by Anees Bazmee and stars Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao. And if the early reviews are any indication, its time to switch off the con even before it gets on!

Raja Sen ( Rediff ) – At least it’s better than Kambakkht Ishq and New York put together – 2/5.

Taran Adarsh ( Indiafm) – Is a poor show all the way. A major disappointment – 1 /5

Khalid Mohamed (Aslibaat) – Just another cup of copy….sugarless – 1/5

Rajeev Masand ( CNN IBN ) – Shortkut leaves you bored – 1/5

Baradwaj Rangan (New Indian Express) – A dreadful satire of the film industry is symptomatic of everything that’s wrong with our mainstream cinema

Anand Vaishnav ( Buzz18) – An interesting plot goes haywire due to a lifeless script – 1.5 / 5

Gaurav Malani (Indiatimes) – Cut every possible path, short or long, leading to this film – 1.5 /5

Shubhra Gupta ( Indian Express ) – Arshad Warsi, fine actor, RIP  ?

Minty Tejpal ( Mumbai Mirror ) – Avoid this shortcut – 1/5

Aniruddha Guha ( DNA ) – Is a con job by its makers – 1/5

Mayank Shekhar ( NDTV ) – If you happen to catch this disaster, don’t say, I didn’t warn you.

Mayank’s review sums it up well. Do we need tos ay more!

Breaking news – Harman Baweja is still alive! Yes. He made a disastrous debut with Love Story 2050, followed up with more disastrous film Victory and his girlfriend Priyanka Chopra also left him ( For Shahid Kapoor or some Mr Butler ?) Dude, Harman Baweja should get the Best Survivor Award. 

Now Harman’s new film Its My Life is ready for release. Its a remake of a telugu film called Bommarilu and is directed by Anees Bazmee. It has Genelia DeSouza as Harman’s love interest. Here’s the first look of the film…four stills….
