Bebo is getting restless. The actress is looking out to buy a bungalow along with her boyfriend Saif Ali Khan.

Now, this sudden rush to buy a bungalow is not entirely uncalled for. Actually, Bebo and Saif are worried that the flat opposite their penthouse can disrupt their privacy. So, they want to move out to another location.

But, finding a vast area and that too a Bungalow in the middle of the city is no mean feat. But, Bebo and Saif are determined to solve this space issue.

Well, let's hope Bebo's concern for her private space is resolved at the earliest.

Kareena Kapoor, who is known for her strict discipline, is going with the flow these days. No, we are not talking about her professionalism but her diet habits.

Reportedly, Bebo has gained weight and her size zero figure has gone for a toss. Bebo's weight is becoming an issue with her producers especially Karan Johar who wants her to lose flab for his next film.

Now, Bebo wants to get back to her earlier avatar of the size zero babe. Though, boyfriend Saif is happy for her but her producers are surely worried.


Rumours are there that Said wanted her to put on the weight for his home production Agent Vinod which is produced by Saif Ali Khan. The movie is about detective and is full of action.

While the script of RACE 2 has been finalised, it is time for casting decisions to be made and shooting schedule locked. While the original cast comprised of Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy, only the first two actors in the list have been finalised for the sequel.

'Yes, Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are already in and now that the script has been finalised, even John Abraham has been brought on board,' confirms producer Ramesh Taurani. As for the leading ladies, there is no one who has been signed yet. All names that you may be hearing are mere speculations. We should be ready with an official announcement pretty soon.'

It has been more than 2 years since RACE released and made waves all over. While it has been a long wait for the sequel to get on floors, it doesn't seem that the filming would begin anytime this year. Doesn't Taurani feel that the kick start to the sequel is long overdue now?

'See, we did announce sequel to RACE but never committed on the date. It was all media speculation,' the producer says, 'A film like this takes time to make as it would be set on a very big canvas with far bigger thrills and action sequences than the first one. There is no point rushing the project for the sake of raking benefits that have come from RACE. If I do that, I would be cheating the audiences who have loved every bit of RACE.'

No wonder, it is crystal clear that it won't be before end of 2011 that the sequel would actually hit the screens.

'You can say so,' agrees Taurani, 'Abbas-Mustan are currently busy with their remake of THE ITALIAN JOB and it would be only early next year when they will start calling the shots for RACE sequel. The filming and post production will take some time so I guess people will have to wait. What I can promise though is the wait will certainly be worth it.'

Is Saif Ali Khan reprising the role of a suave politician in Madhur Bhandarkar's new movie HEROINE, which, it is rumoured, is based on the life of an American actress? Well, that's the speculation in the industry. "I wish to clarify that HEROINE is not based on the life and times of Marilyn Monroe or any actress. It's a contemporary film. Also, neither have I approached Saif for any role in the film, nor is there any role in my film that could remind anyone of a legendary politician," Madhur states. He continues, "Of course, there are several characters in the film, but the story revolves around Kareena. I've yet to finalize the balance star cast."

While Madhur begins filming HEROINE in October, the prolific film-maker will start shooting DIL TO BACHCHA HAI JI with Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya and Shruti Haasan in July. He plans to wrap the entire shoot by August.

Saif avoided cameras and paparazzi pictures until his departure to Morocco this week to avoid giving away his Agent Vinod look. But man proposes, Aamir disposes. Aamir insisted that Saif make it to the party at his home last weekend, thereby blowing the whistle on Saif's carefully-concealed look.

On the eve of his departure to Morocco for the shooting of his second home production Agent Vinod, Saif Ali Khan completely revamped his look and went into hiding until he left the country.

According to close friends, Saif was apprehensive about the exposure of his special makeover in as Agent Vinod. He has lost oodles of weight changed his hairstyle and redesigned his entire body language to play a lean spy.

A friend of Saif says, "If Shahid Kapoor in his dad's film Mausam has modelled his look on Tom Cruise in Top Gun, Saif's role model for Agent Vinod is Matt Damon in Bourne Identity."

A special hair styling done by Aalim Hakim clipping off the long tresses that Saif was lately seen sporting had been planned for six months. Saif wanted to delay the haircut until the final moment before his departure from Morocco.

Besides that, Saif has been working out frantically and toning his muscles to look sinewy agile and panther- like.

While Saif remained inaccessible for any questions on his makeover for Agent Vinod (he probably thinks even talking about it would invite copycats) his ladylove Kareena Kapoor willingly and proudly spills the beans. "Saif has never looked cooler. He has lost 9 kilos in three months. He has all toned and rippling muscles. He was with long hair for so long that I had forgotten how dashing he looks in cropped hair. Saif has got his hair cropped really short, that's all I can tell you about his Agent Vinod look. He got it done a couple of days back. Since then he was reluctant to step out of his house. "

So frightened was Saif of revealing his new look that he refused to show it even to his own parents. Only Kareena had the privilege of seeing Saif's makeover avatar. Until Aamir's party.

"And that too only because I'll see how he looks anyway because I'm his co-star," laughs Kareena, adding that her look in Agent Vinod would also be unique.

"Akki Narula is doing my look for Agent Vinod. I don't think I've ever looked the way I would in Agent Vinod. As for Saif, he looks like a Hollywood star for the film. I can't take my eyes off him."
