Given the fact that it is a Mahesh Bhatt film and stars our serial kisser Emraan Hashmi along with kingfisher’s sexy Esha Gupta, it is but obvious that ‘Jannat 2’ would be raising the standards of hotness and boldness in Bollywood.
The leaked video of ‘Tujhe Sochta Hoon’ from the flick is doing rounds on the net and shows a passionate lovemaking scene between Emraan and Esha who play husband and wife in the movie. There is also a passionate lip lock between the two. Confirming her bold scenes in the film Esha says, “Yes, there are a few kissing scenes in “Jannat 2″, but we have shown love between husband and wife, it’s not like some wild animals making out.”
Well, Esha has shown that she has no qualms about shedding clothes and doing bold scenes. No wonder Bhatts seem to be so impressed by her. Gupta has bagged a three-film contract with the Bhatts. After Jannat 2 she will be seen in Raaz 3.
For reasons still unknown, Salman Khan is out of the sequel to his 1997 superhit comedy ‘Judwaa’ and replacing him, Saif Ali Khan has stepped in as a part of ‘Judwaa 2’. The original one was directed by the king of comedies, David Dhawan and the sequel will be made under the direction of equally talented Sajid Khan.
Time and again, Saif Ali Khan has expressed his desire to work in a comedy and had also once approached director Sajid Khan to direct films for his production house. The offer, however, could not materialize.
Nevertheless, now Saif is a part of ‘Judwaa 2’ which will soon go on floors and is expected for an early 2013 release. Currently, Saif Ali Khan is shooting with Deepika Padukone and newbie Diana Penty, for Cocktail.
There is no denying the fact that Emraan Hashmi has given many successful films at the box office. His last release ‘Murder 2’ was a big Bollywood hit and the first look and trailer of his forthcoming ‘Shanghai’ looks quite promising. Emraan plays a foul-mouthed reporter in this Dibakar Banerjee’s flick and for this, he had to chew tobacco.
On the first day of the shoot, Emraan Hashmi was asked to chew tobacco for a scene and Emraan found the taste so disgusting that he almost threw up and felt giddy.
The director insisted that since his role required him to do it, there was no other way out. After a lot of discussions, Banerjee and Emraan Hashmi came to the conclusion that the actor should chew tobacco.
However, Emraan failed to appear for a promotional event with his co-star since he was busy with his shoot for ‘Jannat 2’.
A disappointed Banerjee said, “I was heartbroken that we were not able to kick off the promotions with a trailer launch. We went through a lot trying to coordinate Emraan and Abhay’s dates and then change it all over again.” Shanghai is Banerjee’s release after two years, since his last film LSD: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha. The movie stars Abhay Deol, Emraan Hashmi and Kalki Koechlin.
The first trailer of the flick shows Emraan as a rustic, paan-chewing village thug and he made his way into cine lovers hearts when he gave a scornful smile, his paan-stained teeth flashing on the screen.
No sooner did Sunny Leone catapult to popularity by joining the Bhatt camp for her debut in Bollywood with ‘Jism 2’ than the Phillipines-based actor-filmmaker Stegath Dorr decided to cash in her popularity in India by releasing his adult film starring Sunny and Black Shama here.
The film is based on an old-fashioned ghost story about abrasive pro-am bird photographers arousing the vengeful spirit of a medieval Malay witch doctor on sacred land. Sunny plays a Canadian-Sikh professional female photographer Jenny Singh in this film and it has been shot in Cebu, Philippines. However, the reaction of the Indian censor board to some brutal molestation-murder sequences is yet to be seen.
Sunny’s growing popularity in India has also helped the revival of Dorr’s first film with Sunny — Pirates’ Blood which was shot at South star Mohanlal’s studio in Kerala in 2008. Dorr says, “A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Gulab Premkumar and was requested to return to India to shoot additional scenes for the film in order to re-release it.”
Gossip columns were abuzz with the rumors that Priyanka Chopra has been finalized for the lead in director Apoorva Lakhia’s remake of the 1973 film ‘Zanjeer’. However, the director puts a rest to these rumors saying, “Priyanka Chopra is not yet confirmed. We have not yet decided on that. However, we are starting the film’s shoot from May 13. The scenes of the lead actor will be shot.”
The movie will see Amit Mehra stepping into the field of production. The lead role played by Amitabh Bachchan will be essayed by southern superstar Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Teja. Lakhia wants Big B to make an appearance in his film and is planning to approach him with the offer.
“I have not approached Mr. Bachchan yet. But I will soon approach him. It would be great if he could show his presence in the film. I would approach him for all obvious reasons. Who does not want to cast Mr. Bachchan in their film,” said Lakhia.
Item numbers have taken our industry by a rage and these days all top notch actresses are willing to groove on raunchy item numbers. The promos of the flicks too give in a lot of weight to the item numbers. So, it did not come as a surprise when Ekta Kapoor too decided to rope in an item number to her forthcoming ‘Shootout at Wadala’. To add spice to this is the fact that the item girl here would be Bipasha Basu who happens to be the ex-girlfriend of one of the main leads in the film, John Abraham. However, John will not be a part of this song.
Shootout at Wadala is based on the real life incident and has a host of stars including John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Sonu Sood, Manoj Bajpai and Tusshar Kapoor.
John Abraham is paired with Kangana in the film.
Amitabh Bachchan will next be seen in Ram Gopal Verma’s next flick ‘Department’ which will portray him as a Machiavellian vigilante, a manipulative authoritarian who believes in doting out justice as his own wish when legal system fails to do it. The first trailer of this thriller is out and raises the expectations of the cine lovers as the gangster turned politician Big B impressively delivers the lines:
“Main illegally legal kaam karta hoon, legally illegal kaam nahin”
The movie has Sanjay Dutt in the role of a cop with a dual personality and Rana Daggubati playing the idealistic newcomer in police department.
Giving in details about the flick, director Ram Gopal Varma said: “The character Sarjerao played by Mr. Bachchan represents a Machiavellian character whose power lies in his manipulation and deception. The character Mahadev played by Sanjay Dutt represents an ultra dynamic character whose power lies in his dual personality which he very successfully hides.”
”The character Shivnarayan played by Rana Daggubati represents a shoot first and talk later kind of a character, whose power lies in obedience to people whom he respects!” he added.
Slated for a May 18 release, the movie stars hottie Nathalia Kaur as well……
Karisma Kapoor is back and how!! With the release of the first look and trailer of her comeback vehicle ‘Dangerous Ishq’, Karisma Kapoor makes you swear by the fact that she has not lost her charisma by an ounce.
The trailer of the flick starts with the theme of the quest of true love:
“Koi tha jo unhe alag karna chahta tha.. Kyun woh yeh janna chahti thi.. Jawaab chupa tha uske kayii jannmon mein.”
Slated for a May 11 release, this Vikram Bhatt thriller in 3D and 2D presents Karisma as Sanjana in search of her love through many lives. Excited about the promo launch, Karisma said, “I don’t know the fate of the movie. We have worked really hard. Making a 3D film is not exactly easy. The promos have come out really exciting.”
The movie also stars Rajneesh Duggal, who plays Karisma’s husband; Jimmy Shergill as a cop and Arya Babbar.
Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra had sparked rumors about their romantic linkup when they were working together in ‘Kaminey’, but with time the rumors faded. Some guessed that they just broke up. Ex-lovers or not, the two have come together once again for director Kunal Kohli’s ‘Teri Meri Kahaani’ and must say they make a wonderful pari together.
Kunal posted a few images from the film on his micro blogging site and tweeted, “Here’s an exclusive still from our film “Teri Meri Kahaani” … 2 more days for the trailer to be launched …”
The film portrays three different time periods between 1910 and 2012 and Shahid Kapoor plays two characters, Javed and Krish. Likewise Priyanka Chopra plays Chandni and Kareena. In a segment set in 1960s, Shahid reportedly plays a struggling music director while Priyanka plays an actress.
Well, the news of Katrina Kaif baggin in Prakash Jha’s next project ‘Satyagrah’ in the role of a politician does not come without controversies. The gossip columns are abuzz with the story that Kaif pipped Kareena Kapoor to grab the role.
Both Katrina and Kareena were in the race for the lead role in the film Satyagrah which is based on the issue of corruption, said to be loosely inspired from the Anna Hazare movement. The movie stars Akshay Kumar in the male lead and he is also co-producing the film.
Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif may have been rivals for this role but they have come together for the cover of Cineblitz magazine April 2012 cover. The picture, however, is not from an exclusive cover shoot – it’s rather from their recent ad shoots.
Check out the leading Bollywood babes together on the covers of Cineblitz……

The occasion was the screening of Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 1989 blockbuster superhit ‘Parinda’ and Bollywood biggies had gathered there to celebrate 30 years of filming with the great movie maker. Apart from guests like Jackie Shroff, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Anil Kapoor, Danny Dengzopa and Anupam Kher on the red carpet before the screening of the 1989 flick ‘Parinda’, the actress who really caught our attention was 44 year Manisha Koirala.
On this occasion, Manisha announced her comeback and was all praises for Vidhu. She said, “I really wish him well, he is one of the finest directors we have and I was fortunate to have worked with him, we had one of the best teams in 1942 A Love Story. I have the greatest of memories, fun memories …”
Manisha held back details about any of her plans and said, “I will talk about my films later, as and when the producers and the directors are ready for the publicity of the films, we will announce them. I have okayed three scripts and meeting two more directors and I’m okaying their scripts as well. This year I’ll be working and next …”
Talking about leading ladies doing the item numbers Koirala said, “Everybody is doing different work. If lead actresses are doing item songs, that’s fine. If I get a great song, great film I may do an item number.”
