Farhan Khan had most intelligently apprehended the success of his ‘Don’ and had left the movie at an ending which left it open for a sequel and sure enough ‘Don 2’, set to release on December 23, is the most awaited movie of the year.

The original one had ended with Roma (Priyanka Chopra) realizing that Don had survived and it was Vijay who had met his end. So, the sequel takes its lead here and in ‘Don 2’, Don will be seen chasing all those who had betrayed him. You can easily anticipate a lot of high-energy action in the flick.

While SRK, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani and Om Puri carry on from the original one, Lara Dutta and Kunal Kapoor will be fresh additions to the sequel.

Check out the killing look of SRK on the posters of ‘Don 2’……

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai was present along with her husband Abhishek Bachchan at the ceremony on Wednesday to receive an honor from the French government. However, midway through the ceremony came the heart breaking news of Mumbai blasts that left at least 21 people dead and over 100 injured. As a true Indian, Aishwarya requested the officials to postpone the ceremony for the moment and she also maintained a minute’s silence to mourn the deaths.

They have been kind to consider me and my family’s request to postpone the celebration till another time. We as Indians can’t go ahead and celebrate in such a situation.”

It seems that mews columns can just get enough of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She was everywhere with the news of her pregnancy and then due to her controversy related to Madhur Bhandarkar’s film Heroine.

Once again, she comes to limelight because of the honor she will receives with the prestigious Officer Dan Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres by the French Government in New Delhi tomorrow.

Kamaal R Khan made news for his arrogance and rude behavior as the Big Boss house inmate. Now, the self proclaimed famous and talented actor and filmmaker has made a huge offer to our desi bombshell Mallika Sherawat. Apparently, KRK plans to make a film and wants Mallika to play the lead for which he has offered a lucrative 2 crores as the remuneration. He wants John Abraham as the male lead and the female lead is the role of a girl who flirts with many men at the same time.

“If you will do my film I shall pay you 2 cr and if the film will not be super hit then I shall pay you 5 cr as fine,” KRK sent the tweet to Mallika adding, “I challenge you that one day you will accept my offer.”

“Why did I offer film to John and Malika? According to script I need a man who is good boyfriend and a female who is having 3 boyfriends,” KRK wrote on his Twitter page.

“Malika ji is very open minded girl she doesn’t mind to have many boyfriends so people will accept her in that character easily,” he added.

As for our Miss Sherawat, not being the one to be scared of challenges, Mallika has accepted the offer. “@kamaalrkhan the challenge is on! ” she responded.

Kalki Koechlin was last seen in ‘Shaitan’ and she received mixed reviews for her performance in the film. Now, she has her eyes set on much awaited ‘Zindagi Mile Na Dobara’. Recently, gossip columns have been abuzz with the news of Kalki having complex with her co-star Katrina Kaif and that she doesn’t get along well with her.

However, Kalki has strongly denied such rumors and says, “There have been a lot of people picking on us that me and Kat are fighting. I think it is really sad because not one person has come and asked me what I think, they have just kind of assumed. There are no issues.”

Kalki has been actively participating in the promotional campaign of the film and was seen at the PVR Cinemas in Ambience mall, Gurgaon, along with Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif, director Zoya Akhtar and Farhan’s production partner Ritesh Sidhwani.

Kalki’s next project is once again with her Dev D co-star Abhay Deol and she claims that the movie is a different one. “I don’t want to be labelled or trapped, my job is to change and adapt to everything that comes. And it’s exciting that I am doing something different,” she said.

Ajay Devgan and Rohit Shetty are very much excited and confident about their forthcoming ambitious project ‘Singham’. Slated for a 22nd July release, the movie has Southern beauty Kajal Aggarwal making her Bollywood debut with this flick.

However, the actress was quite nervous while working with such senior actor and producer of Bollywood. To put her ease and to tap this opportunity of pulling a prank on a nervous newcomer, Ajay Devgan and Rohit Shetty along with the help of their Assistant Directors on the sets, tricked the actress.

For her introductory shot, Kajal was handed over some dialogues and was asked to rehearse the scene. The scene required her to yell Ajoba and run towards her on screen grand-dad. But Rohit asked her to yell Ajoba Badminton before running. Though Kajal found things fishy, trusting her seniors she did as she was asked and the entire unit burst out laughing.

Not to mention here that the prank broke the ice between the stars and the entire unit went ahead working and gelling along well ahead.

In her short career span, actress Ayesha Takia may not have done a lot of films but has sure impressed her fans with her cuteness and acting talents in flicks like Dor, Tasveer, and Wanted .

Post her marriage she is carefully picking up filsm for her second innings. She has finished the shooting schedule for Nagesh Kukunoor’s Mod and will be starting the shoot for Rumi Jaffrey’s ‘Gali Gali Mein Chor Hai’ next.

The film is a satire based on the issue of corruption and has Akshaye Khanna in the lead. Akshay plays the character of a person who falls victim to corruption and Ayesha is playing his wife who stands by him in his fight against corruption. The film will be shot in a fifty-day start to finish schedule in Bhopal. The music of the movie is being composed by Anu Malik, one song of the movie has already been recorded.

When Bollywood is opening up to sex and love making scenes these days, it comes as a surprise when a mature and experienced filmmaker like Ram Gopal Varma should feel uncomfortable and apologetic about shooting an intense love making scene for his films.

Here we are talking about RGV’s forthcoming flick ‘Not A Love Story’ which is inspired from Neeraj Grover case. The film has not only three long kisses but also some intense and hot scenes between actors Mahi Gill and Deepak Dobriyal and after shooting these scenes, the filmmaker apparently felt so guilty and shy that he sent a ‘sorry’ sms to Mahi. Mahi is playing the character based on Maria Susairaj.

“Ramuji was very apologetic about the love making sequences…I had to reassure him it was fine,” Mahi Gill is quoted as saying in a media report. Mahi quotes Ramu as a “quiet, withdrawn and a shy person”.

Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor were seen together last in ‘Kambakhtq Ishq’ which bombed at the box office. However, if things go as planned, the two may pair up once again for the sequel of the last year’s superhit ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’. The first part had Emraan Hashmi play the role of Dawood Ibrahim and in the second part, Akshay Kumar will step into his shoes.

While there had been guesses for long as to who would play his love interest, it now seems that Kareena Kapoor has finally bagged in the role. Earlier, lot of actresses like Sonakshi Sinha, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra were considered for the role but now it seems that the makers have zeroed in on Kareena Kapoor for this role. Talented as both the actors are, we hope that they will make it work this time!!

The actress is playing a sexy village belle and Arshad Warsi’s mistress in her forthcoming film Zila Ghaziabad and the director, Anand Kumar, apparently wants her to enhance her curves to suit the role better. She is going to sport a lot of ghahgra-cholis for the role for which she would need a more rounded figure.

As a true professional, Minissha is working hard on her curves and has incorproated more carbohydrates in her diet. She is also doing some special exercises to get her body right for Zilla Ghaziabad.

Lamba confirmed, “Of late, I was doing a lot of cardio, which reduced my fat percentage. Now, my fat percentage needs to go up for Zilla Ghaziabad because I need to look very sexy.
