Just sometime back, in fact just in August, it was announced that Kangna Ranaut would be starring in Deepa Mehta's adaptation of the novel Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie. However, time changes a lot and so has the star cast of this film.
The latest is that Kangna has dropped out of the said project. Kangna's spokesperson said, "Yes Kangna has actually opted out of the film Midnight's Children which is being made by Deepa Mehta. The reason for this change is Kangna is really busy and her dates are clashing with that of Deepa's film."
With Kangna out of the film, Deepa will probably have to go star hunting once again in Bollywood.]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network

Earlier in the month of May this year, Ajay Devgn earned the wrath of director of health services, Dr Rajnanda Desai, for smoking in a public place in Goa. The actor was shooting then for his forthcoming film Golmaal 3 and was caught puffing away near the Inox cinema hall in Panaji. While the complaint against the actor was filed then by National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE), it's only now that he has been asked to pay a penalty of Rs.200.
Ajay, through his representative, did pay the fine of Rs.200 earlier this week on Wednesday. The fine was levied for smoking in a public place which is in direct violation of section 4 of the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act, 2003 (COTPA).]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network

For those who have been wondering where Ram Gopal Varma's prized discovery Mohit Ahlawat vanished, the young 'gym-toned' actor made his debut in Ram Gopal Varma's James in 2005. He had the guts to tell his mentor in his face that his script for the remake of Sholay would never work.
Mohit paid heavily for his outspokenness. He was banished not only from Ram Gopal Varma's production house but also from Bollywood.
Last heard he had walked out of Ghajini because he found his role (of the cop) too inconsequential.
Thereafter, Mohit seemed to disappear from the face of earth. His phone number has changed and apparently he has gone back to his family business in Panipat and Delhi.
But now one sees him part of the ensemble cast in debutant director Akshay Shere's Emotional Aatyachar.
Mohit and Shere go a back a long way, to their days together in Ram Gopal Varma's production house. Even Shere seems unaware of Mohit's whereabouts. But he does let out that Mohit was in hospital lately.
"I think it is for some intestine or stomach problem. Too much work-out has taken its toll on him," informs the director.
Ironically, the bout of ill health has deprived Mohit of the little bit of attention that his new film would have got him.
Even more ironically, director Mohit Shere says Mohit plays, "A businessman who meets some bizarre people."
Sounds like Mohit's own story.]]>" target=_new> by Subhash K. Jha
Producers of The Film Emotional Atyachar were in a soup recently due to the resemblance between their movie title and the show on UTV Bindass which goes by the same name.
UTV Bindass and Genx Entertainment had filed a case against the film's producers Purple Haze Motion Pictures, seeking Rs. 20 crore as compensation and a stay order on the release, as they claimed that UTV had the copyright over the name 'Emotional Atyachar'. According to the UTV, they have registered the title in 2008 with the association of TV producers.
However, the film which stars Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey and Kalki Koechlin, bears no resemblance to the show what so ever while Purple Haze Motion Pictures claimed that they have registered the title with the Indian Motion Pictures Producers' Association.
In view of both sides of the story, the Bombay High Court ruled out the judgment in the favour of the film and has given a go ahead for its release and has asked the producers to display a disclaimer stating that the film is not associated with the reality show 'Emotional Atyachar'.]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network
Akshay Kumar only for Sajid Nadiadwala...That's the amicable agreement that Sajid Khan reached with his friend and producer before walking into an outside project.
While showbiz is expressing exaggerated shock over Sajid Khan's decision to work with producer Vashu Bhagnani after Sajid Nadiadwala produced two hit films for the director, Khan and Nadiadwala are cool about the arrangement.
In fact the two Sajids have now come to an understanding. Sajid Khan is free to direct films for other producers. But Khan will direct Akshay Kumar only for Nadiadwala.
Says Nadiadwala, "I think it's only fair that I give my directors the freedom to work with other producers. If I showed trust in Sajid Khan by giving him a break in Heyy Babyy and then Housefull, Akshay Kumar also showed trust in Sajid Khan. So we've decided not to break the team. Whenever Sajid Khan will direct Akshay I'll produce."
The trio already have a project ready to go on the floors in the middle of 2011.
Nadiadwala confirms, "Sajid Khan is working on a script for Akshay. And we hope to start in mid-2011 after Sajid finishes his film for Vashu Bhagnani."
Both Vashu Bhagnani and Sajid Khan took Nadiadwala's consent before working together.
Says Nadiadwala, "They both took my blessings. And I was most happy to give it to them as long as their project didn't star Akshay."]]>" target=_new> by Subhash K. Jha
Since Siddharth Malhotra's mentor and role-model Kajol is on maternity leave, the director is looking at casting his best friend Shahid Kapoor in his next film.
Shahid has been Siddharth's best friend for years. The star watched the debutant director's film at a special screening on Wednesday.
Says Siddharth, "I was waiting for Shahid to watch it. He has been my best friend for years. He watched it along with Sooraj Barjatya and Raju Hirani. Shahid absolutely loved my film."
That's the kind of love and loyalty Siddharth believes in. A self-declared Kajol bhakt he is ready to go to any lengths to be loyal to his muse and guardian angel Kajol.
After keeping a life-long mannat for Kajol agreeing to do his first film, Siddharth has now gone a step further. He has postponed his next film with Kajol in the lead because of the actress' impending motherhood.
Kajol intends to take at least one full year off before returning to acting. Rather than cast someone else in the role that was written especially for Kajol, Siddharth has now decided to make another film next.
The director's next would be a father-daughter family-comedy featuring Rishi Kapoor as the father. The daughter is yet to be cast. But the buzz is that Siddharth wants to create cinematic history by casting Rishi's niece Kareena as his daughter.
Confirming these developments Siddharth Malhotra says, "I did want to make my film with Kajol next. But she won't be doing any film for a year and a half. So I'm making a family comedy. I've completed this other script. Rishi Kapoor plays father to a much younger girl. I'll make this family comedy before my film with Kadz."
Siddharth has had a family screening of We Are Family. Karan Johar is apparently so proud of his protégé that he has agreed to let Siddharth make whichever film he wants to next.
Shahid and Siddharth have been best friends since the time Shahid starred in Sooraj Barjatya's Vivah.
Recalls Siddharth, "I was the associate director of Vivah. Shahid and I have been close since then. Now we're even closer. I really value his judgement."
About casting Shahid in his Rishi Kapoor film, Siddharth Malhotra says, "I don't want to commit myself to casting Shahid until Karan Johar reads my script. But I know one thing. I'll present Shahid like no one else."]]>" target=_new> by Subhash K. Jha

Grand Theft Auto (series) is a computer and console game series created and primarily developed by Scottish developer Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design ), published by Rockstar Games and debuted in 1998 . It includes seven stand-alone games and two expansion packs for the original, GTA: London 1969 and GTA: London 1961 .
Grand Theft Auto III and subsequent games in the series have been best-selling blockbusters which have also gained critical acclaim, including several game of the year awards from various sources. In addition, the series has emerged as being so popular and profitable that a long list of Hollywood stars have lent their voices to the games. Gangster film veterans such as Michael Madsen , Samuel L. Jackson , James Woods , Joe Pantoliano , Frank Vincent , Robert Loggia and Ray Liotta have all voiced major characters.
The next installment of the series, Grand Theft Auto IV ( GTA IV ), is slated to be released on October 16, 2007 for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 (along with the possibility of a Nintendo Wii version [2] ), the first Grand Theft Auto to be released simultaneously on the PlayStation and Xbox platforms. Both versions of the game have been indicated to obtain its own exclusive downloadable episodic content via Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network .
The only other information released by Rockstar has been regarding GTA IV’ s game engine , which will be the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (a.k.a. RAGE) used in Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis . The first GTA4 trailer is due to be released out on March 29, 2007 .
Here are some previews for your pleasure.
Multiplier Mode Putting out the same game every year plus 10% “is not Rockstar’s thing” , according to when Sam Houser was interviewed by Game Informer magazine. And when asked about the possibility of online multiplayer, Houser mentioned Everquest as a possible source of inspiration. Rockstar enjoy pushing the console’s hardware to its limits, and it is clear they only release games which are a significant step-up from prior releases. And so with all this in mind, online multiplayer – something which has been sorely missing from the 3D GTA series so far – surely has to be considered as a strong possibility for GTA4.
Once again the debate has began everywhere on the team that has the guts to win the Cricket World Cup 2007. Let’s talk about the chances of our Indian Cricket team. After the Australian slump, every cricket guru now says that Indian cricket team has most of the chances of winning this cricket world cup. Infact, former Sri Lankan Captain Arjuna Ranatuna has already put his money on the Indian team. He said that he has a feeling that Indian team has everything for winning this world cup.
Sounds great! Indian team always had the potential to win, but they always have choked at crucial times. For Example: At the last world cup final they were outplayed in every department. We can not claim it as a completely players’ fault, as they all have always played on slow and low bouncy tracks in India. When they go abroad, they always get bouncy and pacy tracks. If they get adjusted to the conditions, nobody can stop us.
In upcoming World Cup in Caribbean, the conditions are quite similar to Indian pitches. It’s a good sign for India team. This time Indian team has also got a good combination of youth and experienced players. They have got Sachin Tendulkar “The Master Blaster” who has experience of playing 4 Cricket World Cups with Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid. He has experience of handling all kinds of pressure situations. We also have two finest finishers of the game as Yuvraj Singh and Mahender Singh Dhoni, who can blow away any bowling attack. In the bowling Department we have Ajit Agarkar, Harbhajan Singh and veteran leg-spinner Anil Kumble with the experience. And in the fielding department, we have some young talents as Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa and Yuvraj Singh.
In nutshell, it can be said that this is the most talented side for Indian cricket team in World Cup after 1983. Another thing that favours the Indian team is that some of the finest fast bowlers like Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif are not playing in this World Cup due to injuries and other reasons. Who always have been trouble for the Indian side. Now Indian Batsmen can relax .
This world cup is the last world cup for many cricketers of Indian team. I am sure that they also want to make it a special one. I hope this time, Indian team will not disappoint a billion people.
Anil Kumble is one of the most successful bowlers for Indian Cricket team. He has taken 334 wickets in 270 One Day Internationals and 547 wickets in 113 tests. Needless to say that this 36-year-old Indian Cricketer is also the fourth highest Test wicket-taker across the globe. He is the second bowler in the cricket history who has taken all the 10 wickets in an inning of an International test match. Therefore, several times he has been the sole warrior to win matches for Indian team. He is a fighter, who always gives his 100% in the field whether it’s with bat or ball.
In an interview with a TV channel, he says “It is definitely going to be my last World Cup, probably the last one-day international series for me”. This interview makes it clear that Anil Kumble is going to quit One dayers after this world cup. He has taken 28 wickets in 17 world cup matches. In the Last Cricket World Cup, he played only the final match and Indian team lost that match to Australia. After that he was out from the Indian Cricket team and after a gap of four years he is back in action for the Cricket World Cup 2007. As always, he is once again ready to serve his country with his valuable services.
He looks very confident after taking 23 wickets last year which brought India, their first ever Test Series Win in West Indies in the last 35 years. India lost the next One Day Series by 4-1 to West Indies at the Caribbean. According to him, Indian team will do much better this time. He thinks that Indian team has a good chance to win the Cricket World Cup 2007. He said, “We have a good combination of youth and experience”. He is an inspiration for the young cricketers. He also has a bigger role to play in this world cup for the Indian Cricket team. The reason behind quitting One Dayers is that he wants to concentrate on the longer version of game. Nobody can fill his place in the One Day squad. We hope that he will always be a part of Indian Cricket team.
While lurking around the web, I came across with a Hot Mallika Sherawat dance number in the movie Guru. I found it rocking, so I thought I would share it with you. I hope you will like it. Please don’t forget to post your comments if you want more videos like this.
Namastey London is a story of a girl from London and a guy of Punjab. The girl is Jasmeet aka Jazz and the guy is known as Arjun. Jasmeet’s father brings her to India to marry her with Arjun. Arjun is a rough and tough farmer who can barely speak English. Jazz is in love with her British Boyfriend called Charlie Brown.
Namastey London’s story line doesn’t have anything new as it is all about the emotional and dramatic fight between a father and his daughter. It’s interesting to see how a Punjabi boy is helplessly and hopelessly in love with his beautiful wife. Let’s watch who wins out of them. Is it the Punjabi munda or british girl Jasmeet? My predications say that Indian culture will win over western culture as always. But for that, we need to watch the movie. I hope you all will go and watch the movie and post your comments about it. Hope they are good ones.
