Yuvraaj Spells Loss for Multiplexes

Yuvraaj after all the hype and hoopla especially around the real couple on screen turned out to be a disappointing film. Much hyped off-screen pair with their on-screen chemistry seemed dull and their performance seemed very thanda.

The film got a major thrashing from the film critics and upon that it fared below average at the box-officeIndustry trade sources tell us, “The film opened to 30-40% in all the major multiplexes on Friday but the collections actually dropped down further as Sunday came. Then on Monday it went lower to a poor 20-25%. Later, as the week progressed one saw just 30-40 people patronizing its show in most of the multiplexes. At some places even in big cities, the response dwindled so low that the multiplexes were left with no option but cancel some of Yuvvraaj’s shows.”“Salman’s last project, God Tussi Great Ho had met with almost a similar fate and it was necessary for him to deliver a hit in Yuvvraaj. But more than him it is the showman to be blamed for disappointing everybody, including Salman. It is learnt that some portions of the movie have been re-edited. But now its too late!” the source further adds.Poor Salman - We sincerely hope with Veer he delivers a hit otherwise there a lot of fresh faces who are ready to take over him. Perhaps a few tips on Aamir Khan would help

Sexual Orientation Gossip Bothers Karan Johar

Much has been said (and spoofed) about Karan Johar’s happy and ‘gay’ mannerisms. The fact that K.Jo is successful yet still single (no wife, no girlfriend) really gave people a chance to gossip about his sexual orientation.

The man has been subtly trying to get homosexuality a bit of social acceptance in a conservative country like India (read: Kantaben sequences in Kal Ho Naa Ho and now the entire movie Dostana) but obviously disguising it as light hearted humor and pun.

People have been assuming that Karan Johar is a gay and perhaps that is why he keeps getting the topic of homosexuality in his films. But K.Jo seems to be unfazed or rather irritated with the gossip, he says,“I don’t care about what people’s perceptions are. People have questioned me about my orientation often. I feel it’s nobody’s problem. There are two words, private and personal, which I haven’t put in this English language, but I know they mean something, that’s why they are attached to the word ‘life’, private life and personal life. It’s my prerogative to say “it’s not your problem; it’s none of your concern”.He’s added, “People don’t know any thing about me actually and I don’t want them to share whether I have a marriage hidden somewhere or I have a relationship that no one knows about or I don’t have anything and I am a monk in my head and I have taken an oath of celibacy.”Well Karan… obviously no one cares… we are just CURIOUS

Salman finds another Katrina duplicate

Looks like Salman Khan is on  Katrina’s duplicate spree, first Zarine and now he has found another Kat-look alike in Miss UK Lisa Lazarus and both Kat-look-a likes will be seen opposite Sallu in his upcoming movie Veer.

Lisa who is a model, is 5 feet and 10 inches tall and has a sexy figure of 32-26-36 measure. She protrays the role of an English woman who is rescued by gladiator Salman Khan on his way to a mission and eventually she falls in love with the hero.

However, producer Galani says that the casting was completely decided by him and not by Salman, he says, “Salman left the casting to us, he didn’t interfere.”

Well do you think Lisa looks like Katrina?

Don sequel canceled?

All SRK fans who were eagerly waiting for a sequel to Don are all set to be disappointed, as the lead actors of the movie don’t have time for the sequel.

Priyanka the lead actress of Don says,“I think the sequel is a little far now. I don’t think it will start soon. Everyone involved in the project is pretty busy now I think with other work.”A source reveals, “Farhan is busy with Luck By Chance in which he is acting and also with his next directorial film Voice From The Sky. So, as of now Don 2 is not starting.”“Shah Rukh too is very tied up now. He has to look after the promotions of his own production Billoo Barber, then he will do Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan and then move over to his another production Happy New Year which Farah Khan will direct. He is also busy with his animation film Ravan. He does not have time for Don 2 at the moment but yes as everyone knows Shah Rukh is ready to act in the sequel.”Well as Priyanka said, Don2 is really really far away, it might be ready in 2010 I guess.

Kareena transforms into Sarah Jessica

Kareena Kapoor got size hero into fashion with her dud movie Tashan and now Bebo is all set sport a new look for her next flick Kambakht Ishq, where she will be seen aping the style of Sex and The City actress Sarah Jessica Parker.Incidentally, Bebo was suggested the Parker’s look by elder sister Lolo, she reveals, “My looks in KI will be something audiences haven`t seen before. It`s completely different from ‘Tashan’, ‘Golmaal Returns’ and ‘Jab We Met’. I play a surgeon and a supermodel in ‘Kambakht Ishq’ and my styling has been done keeping my character in mind. I always discuss my roles with Lolo and when I asked her about ‘Kambakht Ishq’, she told me to get inspiration from Sarah Jessica`s Parker`s look in ‘Sex And The City’. Lolo loves watching the TV serial and Sarah`s cool, chic, glamorous and yet simple styles.”Bebo then adds, “It`s very important for an actor to keep changing his/her looks. It`s a challenge to keep experimenting with your looks according to your role as Aamir and Shah Rukh are doing. After my size-zero look in Tashan it`s a sexier, more real and natural look that I am going in for now for Kambakht Ishq and Rensil`s film”.

SRK starts filming Dulha Mil Gaya

Shah Rukh Khan has finally got some free time to shoot movie Dulha mil Gaya after almost 2 years of delaying it.A source reveals, “After such a long gap and date problems, the shoot finally resumed on Monday with Shah Rukh and the entire cast. SRK was busy with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, and has now started shooting for DMG, which is directed by Sushmita Sen’s beau Mudassar Aziz.”

SRK is slated to shoot his guest role in 2-weeks after which he will be busy shooting for Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan.

Preity Zinta stays low

Preity Zinta insists that for film promotions she wants media to follow and write about her, but when it comes to some good cause she wants the media to stay away.

She says, “Film promotions, ad shoots, no problem. It’s about selling a film at that point.”However when she was in Delhi for a good cause, she wanted media to keep away, she says, “When you want to do something from your heart, the point of publicizing it becomes such a big deal and what you really want to do becomes second priority.”“And it started when I was doing the bravery awards campaign. I was standing on stage with all these brave people, I felt so small in front of them… and the photographers pushed them so that they could get my picture. Of course, I know that people need to know about these things, but not to the extent that it takes away from the spirit of what you’re trying to do. Not everything is about a photo-op!”Point taken pretty Preity.

Terrorized Amitabh Slept With A Gun

Amitabh Bachchan like all Mumbaikars has been glued to the TV watching the ghastly acts of terrorism unfold one by one and praying that this nightmare gets over as soon as possible. He was so terrorized that for the first time in his entire life he had to sleep with a loaded gun for safety.

He wrote on his blog,“As the events of the terrorist attack unfolded in front of me, I did something for the first time and one that I had hoped never ever to be in a situation to do. Before retiring for the night, I pulled out my licensed .32 revolver, loaded it and put it under my pillow, for a very disturbed sleep.”

All we can do is pray for the safety of all the people in and around Mumbai. Lets hope our police force and army manages to get rid of those nasty terrorists.

Although everyone is safe and sound but actor Ashish Chaudhary’s sister and her husband are held hostage by the terrorists at the Oberoi Trident Hotel of Mumbai.‘My sister Monica and her husband have been inside the hotel along with maybe 40 other hostages. They came here for dinner last night, but now they are not answering any calls,’ he told a news channel Thursday.‘My parents have been here since last night and when we last heard from them, they told us that they have seen two terrorists and have heard a lot of gun shots. I didn’t come at night fearing there will be panic, but since morning I have been standing here, waiting for them to be released,’ he added.

We sincerely hope all the 40 hostages get released safely and alive.
