‘Ghajini’ had everything new about it- be it a very unique storyline, be it Aamir’s new hairstyle, be it the innovative way of promoting it, be it the launch of Van Huesen ‘Ghajini’ line and the latest being the never before heard gesture of appreciation from producer Madhu Mantena to Aamir Khan.

Madhu Mantena presented a solid-gold statue to Aamir designed specially to resemble Aamir’s Ghajini look at the party held to celebrate the film’s success earlier this week.

“8 abs included. We can see all 8 of them on the statue,” Mantena states proudly.

The statuette is pure gold and probably cost the producer close to Rs. 70-80 lakhs though he isn’t telling.

“It has certain amount of other metal to make it malleable. Solid gold wouldn’t allow the identical Ghajini shape to be done in gold. But the idea was to create an Oscar-sized statue exclusively for Ghajini. Aamir knew he was getting a trophy. But he didn’t know it would be golden and with his Ghajini’s look. He was overwhelmed,” says Mantena.

Director Murugadoss was also given a statue, though far less hefty and golden than Aamir’s, but of course including the 8-abs.

Kareena Kapoor has taken a new resolution it seems. The actress has decided to cut down her on-stage performances at award functions and also she will no longer perform at private parties.

In keeping with this resolution, Kareena backed out from the final performance at Screen Film Awards on Wednesday night where she was to perform with other actresses like Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone.

The act, titled ‘Five Divas’, is to be the highlight of the evening. But now it is being re-titled ‘Four Divas’ because Kareena has backed out even though the TV promos of the act are being aired.

Though Bebo has not given an official explanation for her decision, yet this act of hers is being seen as her snub to actresses like Bipasha, Katrina and Deepika.

‘London Dreams’ directed by Vipul Shah and starring Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Asin is supposedly based on the story of a music band and both Salman and Ajay play rock stars in the film. While one succeeds, the other fails. Both of them fall in love with Asin’s character, a South Indian musician. Well, it would be quite a refreshing change to see the ‘Deadly Devgan’ in a different avatar this time coz he is more seen in serious roles.

The look of Ajay Devgan in the film done by designer Ana Singh was leaked while the crew filmed a song sequence in London’s Trafalgar square. Ajay was seen sporting a cool look- with spiked hair, cool glares, a dark jacket and a scarf tied around his neck, not to forget the earrings he wears.

Interestingly, London Dreams and the recently released Rock On share the same music directors Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy.

Alas! With the status of presenting best eye-candies, 2009 Kingfisher Calendar disillusioned its fans this time! Regrettably the calendar models lacked all the charm and attraction! Thus, all the zeal and zest melted down as the calendar landed on the desk!

Arjun Rampal, bollywood hunk, manifested the occasion of release and introduction of the calendar along with its masterminds and the oh-NOT-so-cute models! Although there seemed to be immense pleasure among the lineup; while posing and smiling for the promotion purposes; yet there was an evident below par rating of looks and underdressed appearance of models!

As the Chairman of Kingfisher briefed up the idea of simplicity and instinctive looks that he executed in his pictures; he stated,” I had briefed the photographer to work in a space that would create such images. The accent was on simplicity and working with natural elements.” Though, the pictures are truly fine-looking art pieces; but the matter of fact is few want to look at the women themselves (as per the idea behind the images).

So the conclusion of the story is our unfulfilled desire of seeing some smoking hot babes that are roped on Kingfisher Calendar must be taken good care of perhaps next year. Amen!
Meanwhile, you guys checkout a few pictures of the event and pour us comments, HOT or NOT HOT?

Neetu Chandra was last seen in ‘Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye’ in her track suits and sarees. So, she decided to go for a change and shock everyone with her dare-bare shoot for ‘Maxim’. However, the shoot is not for the cover, but for a full fledged feature in the magazine.

However, Neetu doesn’t find this shoot very shocking as she has already worn swimsuits in her earlier films. She says, “Don’t be so shocked; it isn’t that scandalous after all. Maxim approached me to do the photo shoot. I thought to myself that when I am quite comfortable to do so many different kinds of characters anyways in my films then why not be a face for this photo shoot as well? I have worn swimsuit in my very first film [Garam Masala] so there was no big deal in doing it again. For the Maxim shoot, it was quite a collaborative act and I worked with the costume designer to arrive at a final look for me.”

When asked if she was comfortable with the shoot, Neetu says, “Quite comfortable because I am someone who doesn’t believe in the concept of ‘Size Zero’. I believe that for a woman, her curves and curls should be in the right place. I have been getting calls appreciating my approach towards the shoot. Of course, people have found me quite sensuous and hot. The credit for that should also go to the magazine which is quite creative in itself and photographer R. Burman who was excellent behind the camera.”

Seems Kangana wants to leave no stones unturned to attract viewers for her forthcoming flick where she stars opposite her current love Adhyayan Suman, Shekhar Suman’s son.
