Ranbir & Imran to star in 'Andaz Apna Apna' remake


At last the wait is finally over and the b-town latest foe turned friends Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan will come together for the classic comedy 'Andaz Apna Apna' remake.

The 1994 comedy helmed by Raj kumar santoshi starred B-town best pals Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.

The 2011 version will also be helmed by Santoshi and it will be titled 'Pasand Apni Apni'. A couple of meetings are held and some more is expected in near future between them regarding their characters.

Those who have seen the flick will agree that Aamir enjoyed more footage then Salman in the flick and Santoshi is planning to give Aamir's role to Ranbir. Imran is okay with it as he does not want to step in his mamu jan Aamir's shoes and attract unnecessary comparisons but he is demanding equal footage for both in the remake.

The leading ladies are not being thought at this stage as the nod of both the heartthrobs of bollywood Ranbir and Imran is still to come...

Stay tuned for more.....

After super-success 'Singham', Kajal eyes Bollywood big time





With a super-successful run that 'Singham' has been enjoying for last four weeks, this Ajay Devgn starrer is now all set to cross the 100 crores mark. While for Ajay this is now his biggest solo superhit till date, it is also a big occasion for the film's leading lady Kajal Aggarwal who has hit a six with her very first Bollywood outing.
A Punjabi girl by origin who has been born and brought up in Mumbai and has been a star down South, Kajal is now very sure about making a further mark in Bollywood after doing 21 movies down South. For the pretty girl, another strong advantage (when compared to her counterparts from down South who are looking at making it big in Bollywood) lies in the fact that not just she comes with a very good acting experience, she also is well versed with Hindi which is her own language.
"See, I have been doing films down South for four years now and am quite happy and content with my work there. I have gone ahead in whichever direction life has taken me. At the end of the day, there is time and place for everything. When 'Singham' came calling, I felt it was just the right time for me to make a start," she says.
As for the language bit, she declares, "After all I have lived in Mumbai all my life and Hindi is my own language. It is way too easier to be speaking your own language. I am looking forward to my next Bollywood outing now."

Bollywood Actors Over 40 Who Still Rock


These stars are the hottest properties of Bollywood and stand far ahead of the Ranbir Kapoors and Imran Khans of Bollywood.
Many actors have appeared and disappeared, but these are stars that have remained at the top. The biggest actors in the country are over 40 years of age and are the ones who can ensure the success of a film once they come on board. In fact, these 'mature' stars have experienced success early in their career and have maintained that status for years now.
Here are the actors over 40 who rock Bollywood.

Salman Khan

Salman Khan has, once again, become the favourite child of Bollywood with his films striking gold at the box-office one after the other. He was a major stars in the 90's with films like 'Maine Pyar Kiya' and 'Hum Aapke Hai Kaun' establishing him as the top star of the time. He was the ultimate pin-up boy then and still is, at the age of 45. His last films, 'Wanted', 'Dabangg' and 'Ready' resurrected his career and took him back to the top, making him the highest paid actor in Bollywood.With his latest offering, 'Bodyguard' being hugely talked about, we're sure this will only be another glorious feather in his cap.

Shah Rukh Khan

Known as the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan is the same age as his contemporary and frenemy, Salman Khan. Though he began his acting career two decades ago, it has shown no signs of slowing down. SRK, as he is fondly called, is ruling the roost in Bollywood and can boast of working with the best banners throughout his career. He also has a fanatical fan following, not just in India but throughout the world. His latest venture is Ra.One which is being touted as one of the most ambitious films coming from his stable, which shows he is only becoming bigger and better with age.

Aamir Khan

Another 40+ actor is Aamir Khan, or Mr. Perfectionist. Aamir is unanimously accepted to be the finest actor that Bollywood has today. Every project that he touches turns into gold which asserts Aamir's supremacy over others in the industry. He is extremely choosy when it comes to work and makes his dislike for "biased" award shows known to all. More than anything else, it is truly his work that makes him stand a class apart and above his fellow actors.

Saif Ali Khan

Chote Nawab isn't that small anymore as he's turned 40 a year ago. His journey to the top was riddled with many ups and downs but, presently, he's at a space where he commands his own following and is counted amongst the all-powerful 'Khans' of Bollywood. Films like 'Dil Chahta Hai', 'Omkara' and the recent, 'Love Aaj Kal', have established him as a major star and being the 'royal' love of the top actress also counts.

Ajay Devgan

Ajay 'Singham' Devgan is riding a huge wave of success after his last release, 'Singham. Having established himself as an actor who is equally at ease doing comedies as well as intense drama,Ajay Devgan has now become one of the most sought after actors in the industry. After the resounding success of 'Singham', Ajay Devgan has proved that the young actors are nowhere close to the more mature actors in terms of box-office success.

Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar is considered to be one of the most bankable actors in the industry and it is owing to the amazing success ratio of his films. At a time when young actors are struggling to find their ground, Akshay has been delivering hits one after the other. Akshay is also considered to be one of the most successful actors on TV along with Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and others. 

5 Most Awaited Sequels of Hit Bollywood Movies............


Bollywood movies such as ‘Dhamaal’, ‘Dostana’ made us laugh to the core of our hearts, ‘Dhoom’ and ‘Dhoom2’ set our heartbeats running high, ‘Race’ and ‘Don’ made us conclude that mystery films are the best.
These films were loved by the audience and were critically appreciated too. These, perhaps, might be the very reasons behind their respective producers’ choice to draw up a sequel of the same.
Here to you 5 most awaited sequels of famous Bollywood movies ,go check it out…

DOSTANA 2

This time its Katrina Kaif instead of Priyanka Chopra as Neha (Priyanka Chopra’s character) was shown as moving on with Bobby Deol’s character in the prequel. Though the sequel of the original seems to be in an unstable position over its star cast as well as production team, the film is still very much on Karan Johar’s radar.

DOUBLE DHAMAAL

It is a sequence of the famous comedy flick ‘Dhamaal’that showed up in year 2007. The cast is same but this time includes female stars too with Kangna Ranaut and Mallika Sherwat adding up to the hotness quotient of the film this time. It is going to hit the cinemas on June 24!! The ‘Double Dhamaal’ trailer is garnering a lot of laughs for the costumes, jokes and get-ups and also the four boys' unique dialogues as seen in the trailers.

MUNNABHAI CHALE AMERICA

This film is a follow-up to the hit Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi series ‘Munnabhai MBBS’, ‘Lago Raho Munnabhai’. But the shooting of the film has been getting delayed for over 2 years now. Firstly, the movie was stopped as Sanjay Dutt ended up in jail and then Arshad Warsi got busy with films like ‘Double Dhamaal’, ‘Ishqiya 2’ and ‘Golmaal 4’.

DHOOM 3

After John Abraham in Dhoom and Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2, Aamir Khan is the new face of evil with an element of unbelievable charm in Dhoom 3 going on the floors by the end of 2011 and will be released by Dec. 2012. As per the rumors, there is no Katrina, Deepika, or a Priyanka in this film. Aditya Chopra has confirmed that it’s going to be a newcomer this time.

DON 2

Don 2 is the sequel to the already made remake of Don which was released in 2006(it was a remake of ‘Don’ starring Amitabh Bachchan of 1978). ‘Don 2: The Chase Continues’ includes the previous cast except Arjun Rampal and including Om Puri and Lara Dutta this time. 

Aamir Khan not in Munnabhai.


Aamir Khan simply laughed at the news that he is doing next Munnabhai series. He said that he is not approached for Munnabhai with a smile. So, keep the rumour mills flying high with the news, and lets see original Munna will be in Munnabhai or someone new will be taken?

Amir Khan, Sharman Joshi in 'Munnabhai Chale Amerika'


After 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S' and 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' movies another sequel coming from Vidhu Vinod Chopra production house. This time the main lead characters Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi not appearing in 3rd part 'Munnabhai Chale Amerika'. According to Bollywood gossips Amir Khan, Sharman Joshi will do main roles, director Rajkumar Hirani may not direct this movie.


Gossip mills are running all time high. News is that the original Munnabhai-Circuit jodi is being replaced, and Aamir Khan and Sharman Joshi are being considered to fill their shoes! News is not confirmed as if now.  Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi were a part of the successful Munnabhai franchise that has had two releases till date - Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai. The teaser of the third too - Munnabhai Chale Amrika - has already been shot with Dutt and Warsi, however the lack of a good script has led to the project being on hold.

If sources are to be believed, it's whilst the shooting of '3 Idiots' that Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra considered the option of casting Aamir Khan and Sharman Joshi as Munnabhai and Circuit. The makers, apparently, thought that it would bring about a fresh change to the image and the franchise. In fact, we are told that Aamir was excited about the idea and was game if the script was good enough.

Well, let's wait and watch how this exactly works out for all in the industry, and if it works out at all in the first place. More news regarding this movie will announce soon.

Starting his career as a child actor in his uncle Nasir Hussain's film Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973), Khan began his professional career eleven years later with Holi (1984) and had his first commercial success with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988). He received his first National Film Award (Special Jury Award) for his role in the film Raakh (1989). After seven previous nominations during the 1980s and 1990s, Khan received his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his performance in the major grosser Raja Hindustani (1996) and later earned his second Best Actor award for his performance in the Academy Award-nominated Lagaan, which also marked the debut of his own production company.

Following a four-year break from acting, Khan made his comeback playing the title role in the historical Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005), and later won a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for his role in Rang De Basanti (2006). The following year, he made his directorial debut with Taare Zameen Par, for which he received a Filmfare Award for Best Director. This was followed by Ghajini (2008), which became the highest grossing film of that year, and 3 Idiots (2009), which became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all-time, unadjusted for inflation. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri in 2003 and the Padma Bhushan in 2010 for his contributions towards the arts.

Khan was born in Bandra's Holy Family Hospital, Mumbai, India, to a Muslim family that has been actively involved in the Indian motion picture industry for several decades. His father, Tahir Hussain, was a film producer while his uncle, Nasir Hussain, was a film producer as well as a director and an actor. His family on his father´s side are originally from Herat, Afghanistan.He is a descendant of the scholar and politician Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and a second cousin to former Chairperson of Rajya Sabha Dr Najma Heptullah.

 Khan married Reena Dutta, who had a small part in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, on April 18, 1986. They have two children, a son named Junaid and a daughter, Ira. Reena was involved briefly in Khan's career when she worked as a producer for Lagaan. In December 2002, Khan filed for divorce, ending the 15-year marriage. Reena took custody of both children. On 28 December 2005, Khan married Kiran Rao who had been an assistant director to Ashutosh Gowariker during the filming of Lagaan.

Though nominated many times, Khan does not attend any Indian film award ceremony as he feels "Indian film awards lack credibility". In 2007, Khan was invited to have a wax imitation of himself put on display at Madame Tussauds in London. However, Khan declined stating that, "It's not important to me... people will see my films if they want to. Also, I cannot deal with so many things, I have bandwidth only for that much". In 2007, Khan lost a custody battle for his younger brother Faisal to their father, Tahir Hussain.  His father passed away on 2 February 2010.

In a 2009 interview, Khan states that he tends to take an independent approach to the world of filmmaking, noting that he does not "do different things; I try to do it in a different manner. I think every person should follow his/her dream and try and make it possible to create an ability to achieve it backed by its practicality." He has also indicated that he is more interested in the process of filmmaking than in the end result: "For me, the process is more important, more joyful. I would like to have my entire concentration on the process right from the first step." When asked about his role model, he stated, "Gandhiji is one person who inspires me!"
