Well, we have the child of two yesteryear superstars gearing up to step into the glamour world. Talking about Shruti Hassan, daughter of Kamal Hassan and Sarika, she rocks the covers of the latest issue of ‘Verve’. The issue talks about Shruti, what it is to be a child of two superstars and about her fancy for black nail polish and army jackets.

Shruti does not have just looks, she also writes her own songs, croons, jams with the tabla and piano, and has performed at bigger venues than your mind can ever think, venues as big as Whiskey A Go Go, Hard Rock Café etc… to say the least. Though Shruti does not have any Bollywood project in her hands at present, she is waiting for the right moment to knock at her doors. Well, Shruti, we are more than convinced that the right moment is not far behind!!

After Samsung phones, ‘Mr. Perfectionist’, Aamir Khan will now be seen endorsing the sweet and salty flavour of Monacco biscuits.

The ad shows a political party campaigning for its leader on the road, while Aamir and his friends are in a tearing hurry to cross the road, and they do not want to get late for the film at any cost. Even as they cross the road, they are stopped by one of the cronies of the political leader. That’s when Aamir gets his ‘salty’ elements in place and ‘sweetly’ manages to cross the road and is even on time for the film!

Now, we can very well guess that this ad had been shot quite a long time back because Aamir sports a full grown hair for the ad as opposed to the current hair he is sporting for his forthcoming venture ‘Ghajini’.

The chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor is as much loved by children as by girls. Recently, during a shoot at Pune, Shahid was seen surrounded by more than 200 students who had swarmed towards him as the school bell rang for recess. The students stood there even after the recess got over. Students refused to go to their classes till Shahid spent some quality time with them.

Shahid despite of being over possessed by shooting schedule managed to get some quality time with students, he talked to them and told they shouldn’t miss their classes and study hard which student listened though, reluctantly. Thus he managed to convince them with his charismatic personality.
Three cheers to Shahid!!!

After Kareena Kapoor and Ayesha Takia shedding their body weight, buzz is that Om Puri has joined the bandwagon. The weight loss fad is catching on like fire in Bollywood.

Om Puri who has been visiting health clinic for the last few weeks says “I had developed a paunch. When I saw myself in Don, I realised how hideous I was looking. I’ve been working on it. I’ve already lost about nine kilos, and I intend to knock off another nine in the next few months.” On being asked about his formula he likes. “Diet mainly, but I’m also taking medical help. Five years ago I underwent a back surgery, the same one that Shah Rukh Khan did.”

But actress Bipasha Basu holds a different opinion. She seemed to be very concerned about this trend of unhealthy weight loss in Bollywood. “For god’s sake, don’t starve yourself to stay in shape. It gives you a prematurely aged look. Eat, sleep and live well. And avoid getting obsessive about losing weight.” she says.

While actor Aryan Vaid boasts “Most of them doctor their abs to make them look perfect before the camera. There’s a lot of coloring and contouring going on to make the abs look prominent on those midriffs. Very few actors have authentic six-abs. I do,”
It seems that Bollywood is walking on the foot steps of Hollywood.

61st Cannes Film Festival will see talented director Ketan Mehta, who is spearheading the new-fangled Independent Indian Filmmakers Worldwide (IIFW) initiative, promote his latest film ‘Rang Rasiya’.

The film is a period drama about the relationship between legendary painter Raja Ravi Varma and his muse played by Randeep Hooda and Nandana Sen respectively. Well, judging by the brief clips of the movie shown at the Cannes party on Tuesday evening, it is a lush and sensuous film with several love scenes between the two. The party hosted by Deepa Sahi’s Maya Movies and Aanand Mahendroo’s Infinity Entertainment was attended by the director of the film Ketan Mehta and cast members Randeep Hooda, Nandana Sen and Ferena Wazier.

The film which also has an English version titled Colours of Passion, is set for release across India by June end.

Salman Khan, media’s favorite guy is once again in news for his love interest. He had affair with many actresses in his life in past like – Sangita Bijlani, Somi Ali, Aishwarya Rai, but he was never successful in a single affair that might have matured into a marriage. Repeating the reel, his relations with Katrina Kaif also seems to be on strained node.

When asked from Niraj Manchanda, the popular numerologist and tarot card reader about the stumbling love life of Salman, he made some interesting predictions. While looking at Salman’s handwriting, Niraj told that he is very egoistic and that he mixes ego with love.
Also while evaluating his numbers Niraj explained that “the number of the film scripted by Salman Khan (Veer) comes to 18 which is a disastrous number.”

Niraj, being asked about the solutions to Salman’s problems said that there was a common solution to Salman’s both professional and personal problems. “If he wants a very successful career, he should get married to Katrina soon. Marriage will bring stability in his personal life and the positive vibes brought in by Katrina will even help his professional career” says Manchanda.

Can you hear the wedding bells ringing??

She’s here, she’s there, and she’s everywhere. The versatile actress Deepika Padukone who has been able to impress the critics with her fabulous performance is all over the Bollywood. Unlike other new entrants (like Kangana Ranaut, Emran Hashmi) she has carved a niche for herself.

The gorgeous actress who made a classic style statement at a recent award show hosted by Zee, has a flourishing modeling career and ensured no fashion faux pas. Her passion for a flawless self image crowns her as an important Bollywood-town personality.

Hats off to newcomer Deepika, who, managed to secure double roles (Deepika will be seen playing two characters in Chandni Chowk to China), look dazzling in award nights, entertained paparazzi with hot news of her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor.

In spite of being a new entrant she has been able to outsmart her counterparts who were also new entrants without possessing star genes. Deepika has truly emerged as a polished gem. Hope, her charm gets noticed by her potential mother-in-law Neetu Kapoor.

He has come back to his motherland not without reasons. Barely has he stepped back in India, he has managed to bag in four films in a row. After WWF and acting, The Great Khali is out to extend his horixons to the world of music too. So, now this wrestler goes out for a music video shoot with the singers-composers Siddharth and Suhas for his forthcoming ‘Rama, The Saviour’.

Khali sang a song for Siddhartha-Suhas duo and danced as well for their music video for his film which directed by Hadi Ali Abrar and produced by Abdul Aziz Baroodgar and stars Tanushree Dutta and Sahil Khan.

Siddhartth Suhas who have given the music for the film made Khali sing a few pieces for their song “We Don’t Need” and also Khali grooved and rocked in the music video for the same song!!!

What better way of treating the lead actor of the film that arranging a special screening for exclusively him and his beau. That is what Kunal Kohli has done for his ‘Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’. He invited Saif and his new found love Kareena Kapoor for the special screening of this Saif-Rani Mukherjee starrer at Yashraj Studios. After this, Kohli also arranged another screening for Rani Mukherjee who loved the film no less than Saif did.

‘Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’ tells the story of four orphans who hate Saif. Rani plays an angel who wants to bring love into the kids’ lives, but the irony is that she can’t love. Co-produced by Kohli himself, ‘TPTM’ is set for release on June 27.

Bollywood’s perfectionist, Aamir Khan is all geared up to produce his new film ‘Jaane tu Ya jaane na’. It’ll be a debut flick of his nephew Imran Khan who’ll be seen with Genelia D’Souza.

The film is scheduled for a release in July and the actor turned producer who is famous for not making public appearances is all numb about the movie. But the new debutants are trying to make their debut as charismatic as possible and trying every possible way to promote the film.
Aamir, who doesn’t feel like publicizing any details about the movie, has given strict instructions to both Genelia and Imraan and director Abbas Tyrewala as well to conceal the information from public. So it’s getting difficult for the entrants to face the media, they’re having a tough time doing so. Let’s see how they establish themselves in the Tinsel town.

Thinking of Pondicherry, one thinks of the beautiful town on the coastline with its mesmerizing beaches and sunny disposition. But there are many other reasons for John Abraham to choose this place as location for the shooting of movie ‘Aashayein’.
John Abraham is fond of some memories associated with this place as his first film ‘Jism’ with Bipasha Basu in female lead was shot here in 2003. John is very much in love with this place. He finds this place to be his touchstone. In fact whenever low in spirits, he visits the place and rejuvenates himself.
He feels that Pondicherry will be the right place for ‘Aashayein’ to shoot as the place shares positive vibes, which would do right justice with the theme of the movie. Smiling John Abraham says, “I love Pondicherry, it was the same place from where I started my film career in 2003 with Jism. This place makes me feel good and comfortable. When we were shooting at Pondicherry for Aashayein, I used to get this déjà vu feeling. I actually revisited all the places that we had shot the film earlier.”

Tanushree’s dreams of becoming the first actress to work with Khali have been shattered. Her excitement to work with Khali in her forthcoming film Rama The Savior was over, when debutant actress Shama Sikandar snatched the opportunity away from her.
On the development, on shooting for the promotional song of the movie Dhoom Dadakka with Khali, extremely overjoyed Shama says, “I am just back from Madurai yesterday. I was very excited when I came to know about Khali being part of the movie and that I’ll be shooting with him for a song.” She further informed that the role of the Khali in the movie Dhoom Dadakka is merely not limited to a song.
The song has been choreographed by Pony Verma and the song is a celebration dance in welcome of Khali. When asked how good are his moves on the dance floor? “Well he is good. He can dance. He is a very simple and sweet person. There’s no air at all. Though he was little nervous, he enjoyed the whole process of shooting.” She adds
There are so many movies in kitty for Khali after returning to India. After Dhoom Dhadaka, he will be shooting for Sahil Khan’s Rama The Saviour. However, hopes for the Tanushree survived as she has now become the second Bollywood actress to act and dance with Khali.
