Shah Rukh is rocking down south too........


Shah Rukh Khan has gone where no Hindi film actors have gone before. The trade reports coming in from Kerala have it that SRK’s Om Shanti Om has been doing roaring business in Kerala। In fact, it has done better business than their local films released during the same time. King Khan is a big hit down south too. Mind it!

Actor Lara Dutta has become hot and happening



After her films Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Partner and next year she plans to jhoom a little more. Ask her about her New Year resolutions and she is quickly says, "To work hard and to meditate harder, to progress professionally and spiritually." Well, she has solid plans for the year 2008.

The Sanjay Dutt - Sanjay Gupta war gets ugly

It's stale news that actor Sanjay Dutt moved out of Sanjay Gupta's production house White Feather Films, however the actor has now formed a production house of his own called Sanjay Dutt Productions. Dutt had maintained that though he'll continue to be a part of Gupta's films, it'll be only in the capacity of an actor. It can be remembered that Sanjay Dutt was part of Alibaug and during the shoot of the film was put behind bars. For the ball to keep rolling, director Hansal Mehta approached Vishwajeet Pradhan to play Sanju's body double. Vishwajeet was never asked to replace Sanjay Dutt. And Pradhan who is a good friend of Dutt politely declined the role.

Sanju was then granted bail. And for some reason in trying to justify Gupta's approaching Pradhan, Vishwajeet has been made the villain of the non-issue. When we called him up to ask him what actually happened, this is what he had to say: "After Sanjay Dutt got arrested, I got a call from Hansal Mehta. He told me he needs to meet me for some urgent work. I was excited because I thought it was some role he was going to offer me. Instead he requested me to meet Sanjay Gupta who wanted that I play Dutt's double in the film. I've never said that I was approached to replace Sanju, who is a great friend of mine and has also helped me immensely in my career. "I declined the offer to be Sanjay's body double. My system wouldn't allow me to do that. Once Sanjay Dutt was out on bail, Gupta now has got on the defensive and is making me look as the villain of it all, when I have nothing to do with Alibaug. He is using his power and money to clean his face, and save his friendship with Dutt. "And in this effort of Gupta trying to regain his position, I'm being used as the duster. He's making it look like it was me who gave misleading quotes. I've never said that I was replacing Dutt. He took that in writing from me, and has had it published in all trade magazines. What is the use of all that? I've enjoyed an untarnished image till now, directors I've worked with before are keen to work with me again, and it's so unfair to put me unjustifiably so in bad light just to regain a lost position. And that's exactly what Gupta is doing to get into Dutt's good books all over again."

Kareena Kapoor

kareena kapoor
Kareena Kapoor (Hindi: born September 21, 1980) nicknamed Bebo is an Indian film actress who appears in Bollywood movies.

Making her acting debut with J.P. Dutta's Refugee (2000), for which she won a Filmfare Best Female Debut Award, Kapoor had her first commercial success with her second release, Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai (2001). Her performance as a cosmetic beauty in Karan Johar's melodramatic Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which also released that year, was praised and the film turned out to be her biggest commercial success to date. Following this, Kapoor went on to star in several films which were unsuccessful at the box office and encountered several negative reviews and criticisms for becoming typecast. Trying to reinvent her image, Kapoor took on more serious characters and diverse roles, and was soon recognized for her versatility as an actress.

Her portrayal of a sex-worker in Sudhir Mishra's Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career and won her the Filmfare Special Performance Award. She was recognized for her performances in critically acclaimed films like Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006), and earned two Critics Award for Best Actress at the Filmfare. Despite not having that many hits to her credit, Kapoor has established herself as one of the leading actresses of Bollywood.

Here are some hot scans of Kareena Kapoor from Cineblitz this months issue. Kareena Kapoor's still dreams of romancing SRK after the debacle that was Asoka. The actress can't seem to stop gushing over her favourite actor. "Very frankly I did the 'Yeh mera dil' song in 'Don' because of Shah Rukh. My ultimate wish is to do a full-on love story with him," said the actress whose latest movie "Jab We Met" is a box-office hit."When Farhan Akhtar offered me the song I wondered if making a guest appearance was right for me. However, the temptation of doing a song with Shah Rukh got the better of me."
