Now, Aditya Chopra is planning to do as many as three more films with Katrina Kaif. The filmmaker is quite excited about this new chemistry and has also been spending more time with Kats these days.
So, our sources add that not only do the two discuss films but much more. Reportedly, Aditya has become Katrina's mentor and has been advising her on her career and life as well.
Though Rajnikanth is one of the most sought after stars of the country and every other filmmaker looks forward to work with him yet he wasn't the first choice for the much touted sci-fi film ROBOT.
Reveals the south megastar in his witty style, 'Initially Shankar approached Kamal Hassan & Shahrukh Khan for this film. They were the first choice for it. However it eventually came to me. As they say Daane Daane pe likha hai Khaane waale ka naam (it was destined for me)'
ROBOT is Rajnikanth's second consecutive film with Shankar, with whom he did his previous blockbuster SIVAJI - THE BOSS. And it is because of this trust which made him take up this role. 'Shankar is an excellent technician and one of the best directors of India who can mix the class and commercial elements very well. I did SIVAJI with him and I trust him completely, so I agreed to do the film - else I would have not done the film as it is a very tough and challenging role,' said Rajni.
Further Rajni compared ROBOT to the cult Hindi film SHOLAY, which is still fondly remembered. 'Around Rs 160 crore has been invested to make the film. SHOLAY made history not because of the money or budget involved, not because it was a multi-starrer, not because of the technicalities, but because of its subject, superb characterization. So like SHOLAY, in ROBOT too there is an excellent storyline, excellent character sketches. This is the first Indian story of its type. It's science fiction and excellently made. And I am guaranteeing it.'
Well after coming from Rajni we are all the more eager to check out his sci-fi extravaganza ROBOT.

"Well, if you ask me about the dressing up in HELLO DARLING then let me clarify that the small town look is only during the initial part of the film," says Eesha who states that her character takes a glam route in the latter part of the film, "Once she meets other chic girls at her workplace, she goes through this entire modernisation process."
Meanwhile, what does she has to say about the similarities that her role may be having with SALAAM E ISHQ?
"Arrey bilkul different hai yahan par. In SALAAM E ISHQ I had just about 4-5 scenes. Here in HELLO DARLING toh achcha khaasa role hai," smiles Eesha, "Satvari is someone who comes from Panipat and has a thick Haryanvi accent. In fact, to help me with the accent, there was this person who was always on the sets to help me get it right. Also, there is a little bit of Punjabi and Hindi mixed as well."
Well, we would wait to hear that and more once the film hits the screen on 27th August.
A source who revealed this story to us says, "Kim has reportedly married the African guy. The two fell in love in the first sight only. The source further adds that Kim is making all efforts to keep her secret marriage under wraps but she's worried since some select scribes have got a whiff of her latest doing."
Now, after much reading into her private life, let's hope this story puts an end to Kim's tumultuous love life.
According to latest reports, Arjun Rampal decided to walk out of the film as he was not happy the way his character was being portrayed. This led to some real differences between Arjun and Farhan Akhtar, who will direct this film.
It will be worth to mention that Farhan and Arjun are thick friends in real. In fact, it was Farhan Akhtar who gave Arjun Rampal some plum roles in his films DON and ROCK ON. But this time the creative differences have made them part ways, though on a cordial note according to the source.
That means he will be allowed to bring booze in the show but under certain conditions.
It may be noted, Khanna was approached last year for season 3 of the celebrity reality show. However, he declined the offer for his conditions were not met which primarily were to take an entry with drinks.
Salman Khan is perceived exactly as the title of his forthcoming film- DABANGG (meaning fearless). He is headstrong and known to have his own way. But did you know that he too has his set of fears?
Says Salman, "There are some things which you are fearless and there are some which you fear a lot. I just hope that my family and friends remain together. I have the fear of losing my loved ones. Everyone should remain hail and hearty."
The actor further added, "As far as career goes, I don't have any fears. I am in the industry for more than 20 years. The younger generation might be having that insecurity."
Directed by Abhinav Kashyap, DABANGG also stars Sonakshi Sinha and is all set to release on September 10.

The film, which is a period drama, will see Vidya in a new image. The traditional looking actress will don all attention with her item song and to top it all, Vidya has absolutely no qualms doing this number.
The said item number will be a sensuous portrayal of the actress which is something no one has seen before.
Says a source close to Koena, "Gina is a huge name in Hollywood courtesy the work she has done for the likes of Will Smith, Snoop Dogg, pop singer band TLC, the pop singer Ashanti and many more. The print, colour and fabric used for the bags are selected after paying careful attention to the personality of the owner. Koena's eyes, vivacious personality, a strong mind and her sense of style would be some of the themes that Gina is exploring for the range."
Highlight of this collection would be celebration of India and its culture.
Says Koena from Los Angeles where she recently attended the Hollywood's Teen Choice Awards 2010 and was the only Indian to be invited, "These designer bags would be a huge opportunity to further bring India closer to the West. We have a rich culture and a history of thousands of years. Gina's designs would have references to Goddess Durga, her three 'netras', Elephant God Ganpati and more."
Buzz has it that the designs are being created for free of cost and the proceeds of the sale of these bags would be given to charity. Also, Koena would be donating the sales of her signature collection bags to the cause of awareness of breast cancer.
"I guess this also has to do with the fact that today's generation of actors has become very mature. They understand business and also the intricacies of the film business", comments Shazahn when asked about her attitude when it comes to lows and peaks in one's career, "I don't think anyone is pretentious anymore."
Another strong trait that Shazahn carries is to call a spade a spade without offending anyone's sentiments or coming across as someone who is overtly harsh or blunt.
"See, I have lived my life saying things on face. So what if ROCKET SINGH... didn't work? its fine that happens to everyone in the business", Shazahn maintains her calm, "It is best to be honest in life and admit to things that may have not worked as expected. The more you beat around the bush, more are the chances that you may just go bad."
Positive about the future, Shazahn philosophizes, "It was just my first film. In future, I would have so many more films to show my acting talent. I am very confident as an actor, mainly because I have done theatre to prove that. It is all about believing in yourself. I know I will do well."
Well girl, you have our best wishes here!
There were speculations that the host for this season would be Shah Rukh, or Aamir, Akshay Kumar, or Sanjay Dutt. Some went to the extreme of speculating that it would be cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who would become the host for the reality show!
Big B had hosted the last season with mind blowing popularity!
However, the entire gamut has been put to a final stop, as Sallu, who has already enthralled audiences with the hosting of 'Dus Ka Dum' perfectly, and in his own style, has admitted to many a media reps that even the Bigg Boss reality show will be done in his own unique style!
Thus, it seems, this season of Bigg Boss is really going to be one big breezy affair!
Salman, who is quite an emotional person at heart, has also admitted that he would support the true spirited and the people who did not play vicious game on the show.
Mallika has always been a huge fan of Big B. In the past she has expressed the desire of working with Big B. And now in an upcoming film that will be produced by PNC, Mallika will realise this dream.
These days Mallika Sherawat is busy signing few Hollywood films. The actress is also looking at some Bollywood projects but is yet to sign on the dotted line. Well, the return of Mallika is going to be bigger this time around.
We hear the actress is quite concerned about the audience's reaction to this film. Mugdha's fears are not without any reason. To a large extent, HELP will decide how her career will shape up in the coming time. In her last film JAIL, the actress had failed to repeat the charisma of her earlier act in FASHION.
Now, despite the bikini controversies and the spooky theme, Mugdha is still waiting for the audience's verdict before she can call her act good or bad.
Her close pals reveal, "HELP is really something Mugdha is banking upon. After all her last film didn't do any good to her and now she's desperately looking up to this release."
Mughda's horror flick surely needs some big HELP, we mean from the audiences of course.
Now, according to some sources, one of the reasons why Salman chose to do this show was to please his mom and his sister. It's learnt that Salman's mother and sister are huge fans of the show and watch it very dedicatedly.
So, when Salman signed the show it was an added happiness for them. Not only will Salman host his mom and sister's favourite show but will also bring some good moolah with it. Call it having the cake and eating it too.
Kareena is missing her close pals so much that she has even invited them to visit her on the sets if they get time. But, sadly none of them are free to give her company.
Now, her friends have decided to keep Bebo updated about all the happenings in B-Town. So at least the actress won't miss on the gossip going on here. It's learnt that these regular gossip sessions are keeping Bebo entertained for the moment. Kareena is currently shooting for Ra-One with Shahrukh Khan in London. The movie also includes Arjun Rampal. Kareena will be seen in action in Ra-One and SRK will be opposote her.
We are obviously referring to GOLMAAL. What followed was GOLMAAL RETURNS in 2008 and the multi-starrer turned out to be an even bigger hit and Ajay had arrived as a comedy star.
Some may wonder why we are not mentioning the team's last laugh riot, ALL THE BEST. Well, even though the similarities were obvious, the makers never tried to sell it off as a GOLMAAL franchise and moreover it was not a major success unlike the other two; GOLMAAL and GOLMAAL RETURNS.
As is known this Diwali will see the release of GOLMAAL 3 and the know alls of film business predict another success for the Ajay-Shetty team. They even say that GOLMAAL is now a brand name and so the audience will naturally look forward to some pure wholesome entertainment from the film as in the past.
Well, here's wishing a third triumph for the GOLMAAL team!
The actress has alleged that the jawans used lewd language while dealing with her and also mishandled her expensive baggage.
The actress is planning to lodge a complaint regarding the same and wants action to be taken about this incident.
On the professional front, Celina is getting busy with her new project THANK YOU which will be shot in Canada and will be directed by Anees Bazmee.
Well, it is being said that the pretty lady has donated her signing amount, which she received for her debut film DABANGG, to Salman Khan's Being Human Foundation.
Salman Khan gave her an opportunity to act as his leading lady in his home production, DABANGG. Sonakshi Sinha, in return, decided to say 'thank you' for this once-in-a-lifetime chance by donating the first cheque to the actor's foundation. And, we hear, Sonakshi has no regrets about it.
It's rare to see such benevolence coming from newcomers and Shatrughn Sinha's beautiful daughter has proved that she has a heart of gold. We wonder if Sallu was the inspiration behind this act.
Aamir experienced uneasiness as soon as he landed from Australia a few days back. The actor was extremely unwell and had to cancel all his meets due to health reasons.
Now, Aamir is recovering at home. The actor has been advised bed rest till his health improves. The actor couldn't even attend the special screening of his film PEEPLI LIVE due to this health issue.
Here's wishing Aamir a speedy recovery.
