Despite the fact that IPL Season 3 is in its fullest swing, the team owners of Rajasthan Royals, Shilpa Shetty and her beau Raj Kundra, are not neglecting their other business interests. They recently announced the opening of their new nightclub called ‘Royalty’ in Mumbai at the same place where popular hotspot ‘Poison’ was earlier situated.
In the bash thrown at the club on Saturday, Shilpa and Raj invited who’s who of Bollywood including Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Harman Baweja, Ameesha, Kabir Bedi, Shamita Shetty and Jackie Shroff along with Neha Dupia, Manish Malhotra, Karan Johar, Rocky S, Kabir Bedi, Arpita Khan, Rahul Bose, Jackie Shroff, Claudia Celsia, Chunky Pandey, Adnan Sami, Ila Arun and many other small screen stars. Few cricketers from Rajasthan Royals team had also graced the launch.
Upset and worried with the unrestricted flow of his forthcoming flick ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ being leaked out in ‘Twitter’, Sajid Nadiawala has banned his cast and crew from using the social networking site for the time being. As such, both the leading stars of the film, Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor, have been asked to stop tweeting.
Confirming the news, Sajid told a daily, “I actually took the decision to forbid my cast and crew from putting any information on websites after an incident that happened with Sajid Khan, my director of ‘Housefull’.
We were doing a photo-session with the film’s stars. We weren’t even finished and Sajid Khan had already put one of the pictures on the site. I was horrified. That’s when I decided it was time to make the confidentiality clause a legal issue in all my contracts.”
Sajid further added, “I remember when my father produced JP Dutta’s Ghulami, we’d stand outside Dharmendra’s van for hours waiting for him to emerge so we could see what he wore, how he styled his hair, what watch he had on, etc.
Today the stars volunteer all this information on the social networks even before the director takes his first shot. I think all of us need to make confidentiality compulsory for every film.”
So, no more tweeting for Piggy Chops and Ranbir for sometime from now on!!
Eesha Koppikar has given quite a few sizzling hot scenes in her forthcoming ‘Right Yaaa Wrong’ and the actress was quite worried about the scenes before her marriage. After all she is now the bahu of a traditional family.
The film has Eesha playing the role of Anshita, Sunny Deol’s wife. Deol plays a cop and Eesha an interior designer who is a modern and independent woman. Eesha apparently plays a cheating wife who has a torrid, sexual affair on the side with newcomer Aarav Chowdhary as well.
Filmmaker Subhash Ghai is all praises for Eesha’s performance in the movie and says, “Eesha’s not only hot as ever in the film, she’s cool as an actress too.”
Newcomer Aarav was very nervous while shooting the lovemaking scene with Eesha. It took quite a few rehearsals and also some encouragement from Essha to help Aarav get over his inhibitions.
“It was a very nervous feeling to make love to Isha in the film. We had to do many rehearsals before canning the act. The seductiveness of Isha is quite palpable in the bath tub scene. Moreover, the fact that I was a relative newcomer in front of Isha made it all the more difficult for me to enact the scene. Finally, after many rehearsals and some good encouragement from Isha, we have performed some of the best love scenes ever performed on the big screen,” says Aarav.
Lakme Fashion Week kicked off the Summer/Resort 2010 Collections with Rocky S who came up in a palette of pastel hues like pink, peach, nude and turquoise and then moved to luxurious shaded tones which finally ended with ivory and black….and lots of gold trim and embellishment. All of it accessorized with diamonds from a new collection ‘Queenie for Giantti’ (a new line from sponsor Gitanjali Lifestyle) and the well known Bombay jewelry designer, socialiter and columnist. The showstopper for Rocky S was his all time favorite Bipasha Basu.
Deepika Padukone was the showstopper for the designers Shantanu and Nikhil who entered the sports arena with their new S&N label for Adidas Style Essentials. The collection called “Motochic” included track pants, shirts, muscle sleeve and body hugging Tees, skirts, tunics as well as trendy bags, belts and wallets, footwear and accessories. The entire collection was in (NYC) taxi cab yellow, black and white….and was presented on a runway/roadway, with flashing lights, road detours and the white line down the middle– keeping the models in and out of the traffic.
Check out Bipasha Basu and Deepika Padukone as they sizzle on the ramp for Lakme Fashion Week 2010.
Releasing this Friday is a crime thriller ‘Right Ya Wrong’ produced by Subhash Ghai and Written and directed by debutant Neeraj Pathak.

The flick which tells the tale of two friends who turn foes in their quest for supremacy also stars Irrfan Khan, Eesha Koppikhar and Konkona Sen Sharma.
“It’s an entertainer with great performances by Sunny Deol and Irfaan Khan. I have seen Sunny in such a charged and dramatic role after a long time. He is just too good, though Irrfan has also done a great job. The songs are also very nice and I am sure it will be a super hit,” says Ghai had said about the film.
The storyline goes as:
Two cops, Ajay Shridhar (Sunny) and Vinay Patnaik (Irrfan), are in a constant battle for supremacy. When Ajay’s wife (Eesha) is found brutally murdered, he becomes the prime suspect and the case is being handled by his friend, Assistant Commissioner of Police Rane. Ajay’s only support is Radhika (Konkana), Vinay’s younger sister.
The movie was slated to come out in 2009 but was delayed. Let us see if it can revive Sunny’s sinking career.

Dimpy managed to win Rahul’s heart over other finalists Nikunj Malik, 25 and Harpreet, 21, apart from over 16,500 applicants from across the country to be Rahul’s wife. Dimpy makes it clear that she will continue to work after marriage as well.
‘Rahul doesn’t want me to be a housewife. So I’ll work. But I don’t know yet what I will be doing,’ she says.
However, she wants her husband to pursue a political career like his father, late Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pramod Mahajan, rather than be in show business.
‘I really want him (Rahul) to pursue a political career,’ Dimpy told the reporters on Saturday night after exchanging wedding vows with Rahul on Imagine TV’s ‘Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega’.
Rahul decided to go ahead with his wedding despite the recent death of his uncle Praveen Mahajan, who was convicted for killing his politician father Pramod Mahajan in 2006. Rahul’s mother Rekha Mahajan, Dimpy’s family members as well as several TV celebrities attended the event at the Leela Kempinski Hotel here

“Its a great feeling. I am both excited and nervous. I really believe marriages are made in heaven and this time I’ll give whatever I have to make my wife happy. It is going to be happily ever after,” Rahul had said.
As an answer to Dimpy’s wishes of Rahul joining politics, he says, “Politics is in my blood but entertainment is my livelihood. You don’t get paid that much as an MP. Showbiz is a huge business and I am looking forward to exploring it. Be it TV or films. Moreover it has a mass appeal and gives me an opportunity to get connected with people.”

Shahid Kapoor has three back-to-back releases in the coming months including ‘Paathshaala’ and Yash Raj Films’ ‘Badmaash Company’. As such, Shahid feels that it will affect the performance of all the films and also it will be difficult for him to concentrate on the promotion of all of them together. As a result, Shahid requested the producer of his ‘Milenge Milenge’ to shift the release date of the film to sometime later. The movie has been under making for a long 5 year period and stars his ex-love Kareena Kapoor opposite him.
Boney confirms the news as he says, “Yes. I have postponed Milenge Milenge from April 2 and Shahid did tell me to postpone the film as he felt that for three films to release at the same time would make all suffer and also cut into the promotional events but he also said that the final decision is mine.”
Boney has now postponed his film from April 2 this year to an indefinite date. He is expected to announce the release date in the coming week.
