Salman Khan gave a superhit to Bollywood with his last flick ‘Bodyguard’. At present, he is shooting for ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ in Cuba. After the complete of this shoot, Salman Khan will head for US to get medically checked up for Trigeminal Neuralgia for which he underwent a surgery last year.

Once he gets over with all this, Salman will start the shoot for ‘Dabangg 2’ where he will once again play Chulbul Pandey and this time Chulbul’s character will acquire a higher notch in corruption. His base will be Mumbai this time and not Lalganj.

The sequel will be directed by Arbaaz Khan and this time the negative character will be played by Prakash Raj (Singham and Wanted fame) and not Sonu Sood. Other characters will be the same with actors Vinod Khanna (as Chulbul’s father), Arbaaz Khan (as brother) and Sonakshi Sinha (as his wife and love).

Things have been gearing up just right for Karisma Kapoor who was last seen with Suneel Darshan’s 2006 dud, ‘Mere Jeevan Saathi’ opposite Akshay Kumar. However, she is making her comeback with Vikram Bhatt’s slick and stylish ‘Dangerous Ishq’. If things go right and Vikram Bhatt is able to complete the shoot before deadline, Karisma may be walking the red carpet of the Cannes film festival, held in the French Riviera town of Cannes each year, to showcase her film.

Besides ‘Dangerous Ishq’, Karisma will also be seen grooving for a special number in director Sajid Khan’s upcoming Housefull 2. Besides, Karisma is all set to take up the lead in Soham Shah’s Satte Pe Satta remake opposite Sanjay Dutt. Sanjay plays Big B’s character from the original while Lolo will play the role enacted by Hema Malini in the original one. Playing Dutt’s six brothers in the remake would be Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemu, Deepak Dobriyal, Rajat Barmecha and Shakti Kapoor’s son Siddhant.

There is no denying the fact that currently, Katrina Kaif is one of the most bankable actresses in our tinsel town. As the beauty mints out successful item numbers in a row, she has also geared up for some hardcore action sequences for ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ which stars Salman Khan in the main lead.

These high voltage action sequences will be shot in Cuba under the direction of renowned Hollywood action director Conrad Palmisano of Transformers fame. Though the makers had suggested that Katrina went for mild and easy stunts, but the actress insisted she wants to perform the same stunts that Salman Khan is performing, to which Conrad Palmisano agreed. As such, the fans will now get to see Katrina doing the free falling and midair fighting sequences with Salman Khan!

Katrina Kaif confirmed the reports saying that she has played a lot of feminine roles in the past, and though the stunts are scary, they are a lot fun too! She takes these stunts as a challenge and even says that at this stage of her career, she wants to take these sorts of challenges!

The Bhatts are getting a bit too sentimental on the return of Vikram Bhatt to their camp. So much so that they decided to start ‘Raaz 3’ on Vikram’s birthday. Vikram celebrated his birthday on Friday and the crew of the flick began the shoot on Sunday.

“‘Raaz 3’ is what can be termed as the ‘Horror of the hearts’. It is a completely new story, a romantic one at that, which would surprise and shock you. Yet again the legacy of Vishesh Films would continue with newcomers giving some great music to the film. I am sure it would break all records that films coming from our production house have created so far,” says Mukesh Bhatt.

Mahesh Bhatt posted some pictures from the first day of the shoot on his social networking site with related tweets. Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter has joined Vikram’s team as an assistant director. Bhatt tweeted, “My daughter Shaheen begins her journey as an assistant with Vikram Bhatt who was once my assistant!”

The film has been written by Shagufta Rafique. “It is a brave script which explores the horrors of the human heart,” Bhatt tweeted.

Kareena Kapoor has given the last hit with ‘Bodyguard’ and with her forthcoming ‘Ek Main Aur Ek Tu’ set for February 10 release, the lady is busy these days with various promotional events. She was in Dubai with co-star Imran Khan to promote the film. Imran looked dashing in a beard and Kareena Kapoor looked stunning as ever in a black Burberry dress.

Kapoor was at her usual easy going and bubbly self. “Wow, I’m watching the promos of our film again after maybe a month and it all just looks so refreshing,” she said adding, “The character I play in “EMAET” is one that I haven’t played in a while. In my recent films, such as “Bodyguard”, I play your typical desi girl. And here I am playing this modern, fun-loving girl, which probably comes closest to my character in “Jab We Met” (2009).”

EMAET is the story of two strangers who get drunk one night in Vegas and wake up the next morning to find themselves married to one another. The film is said to be inspired from a Hollywood flick but Imran denied any similarity to it.

“We’ve been asked that before, but the only similarity here is that both films are based in Vegas,” assured Khan adding, “Come on, who doesn’t go to Vegas and get drunk. Even “The Hangover” had a similar premise.”

Veena Malik came into limelight with the controversial show ‘Big Boss’ and she has continued to maintain her share of controversies till date. After appearing nude on the covers of a famous magazine, she is now in news once again for purposely injuring her co-star during a fight sequence for the film ‘Mumbai 125′.

Veena’s co-star Vedita Pratap shares cold vibes with her and she has accused Veena for purposely injuring her on the forehead during a shoot scene. In the scene, Veena had to pull Pratap by the neck and bang her head on an iron rod and Veena did so with a bit too much of ferverity. Vedita had to be nursed at a city hospital and is said to be currently undergoing treatment to get rid of the scar on her forehead.

“It was an action sequence. I was supposed to be beaten up. I don’t know what happened to Veena. She actually hurt me and she did it so badly that I had nail marks on my body.

I don’t know what was wrong with her. And then she pushed me so badly and banged my head on the rod,” said Pratap.

“After the incident, I spoke to the director and told him that she is deliberately doing this. Acting is one thing, but this is just over acting,” she added.

When Pooja Bhatt revealed the first look poster of her ‘Jism 2’ with a nude girl under the wet white sheet, she chose to keep the name of the girl under wraps. However, now the Bhatts have decided to reveal the name of the mystery girl and as anticipated, it has now finally come out that the girl is none other than Sunny Leone herself, the leading lady of the film.

“Sunny Leone is the heroine of Pooja Bhatt’s ‘JISM 2′. Now watch this brave girl unfold her soul and rise higher and higher,” Bhatt wrote on his Twitter page.

Sunny, on the other hand too, is excited about her debut in Bollywood. “Hey everyone! So excited to be working on ‘JISM 2′. Remember to follow @jism2 to get all the movie news first, ” Sunny, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, tweeted.

“While my dream that is #JISM2 comes closer to realization with @sunnyleone my nightmare with regards to casting my two leading men begins,” Pooja posted.

“Finding one ‘man’ in this business is tough enough and we need to cast two in #JISM2! I suspect strongly that it is masochism that drives me,” she added.
