But gone are those days as he is back in the industry ready with his debut as the leading star in Vikram Bhatt's horror flick Shaapit. In fact Aditya has also written and composed the promotional song for the film. Seems like he is extremely geared up about his maiden venture. Burdened with expectations or confident with experience, that's for you to ask and for him to answer as he joins us for a celebrity live on Friday, March 12, at 1330 hrs IST exclusively for you on Bollywood Hungama.

  • The Best Picture Oscar winner The Hurt Locker's victory came as no surprise to some big Bollywood names, specifically, Abbas Tyrewala, John Abraham and Madhu Mantena. David Bryan, Supervising Art Director on The Hurt Locker who was widely praised for his life like replication of the battle scarred streets of Iraq in Jordan, is the Production Designer for Abbas Tyrewala's next venture, starring John Abraham. The really interesting story however, is that David's only managed to convince Abbas to join his project as a Production Designer after showing Abbas footage from The Hurt Locker and how he'd recreated the streets of Iraq in the award winning film. David has on several occasions impressed Abbas with his detail and precision in Production Design. Looks like the Abbas is going to every extent recruiting genuinely talented people to mount this film (earlier titled 1-800 Love) on a large beautiful canvas. It may be recalled that during the shooting of the film in London, the production had managed to block off traffic completely on Tower Bridge for 3 nights and had shot several scenes with even boat traffic on the Thames being restricted! David's first release after The Hurt Locker is to be Abbas's film, which is now under post-production. Speaking on this film, David said, "We wanted to portray the real London that is rarely seen, it's an amazing city with very diverse locations. In particular we were looking for a real iconic Studio Apartment for our lead actor John Abraham. Later in autumn, the climax to the film grew into an epic 4 nights filming on Tower Bridge with John doing his own stunts, a real star!" He went on to further add, "Working with a Bollywood crew was a great experience, much more than on a similar British film." Expectations are already high from Abbas's new film, coming as it does on the heels of the scripting and debut directorial magic that he displayed in the smash hit Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Now with a key member of the history making Oscar Best Picture winner responsible for creating the look and feel of his film, the expectations are only bound to grow.]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network
    
    
  • Rana Daggubati who makes his Hindi debut in Rohan Sippy's Dum Maro Dum wants to bring his Telugu political blockbuster Leader to Mumbai with subtitles. Says Rana, "The political message of the film is definitely not restricted to Andhra Pradesh. I'd like to remake the film into Tamil and then maybe Hindi. After I do Rohan Sippy's film in Hindi, I'd like to do Leader in Hindi." Explains Rana, "We've tried to show the difference between a politician and a leader. We need responsible leaders. I play an honest leader, a Chief Minister. We've heard so many CMs being sworn in. We didn't know what their oath means. From the time we were children we read about Sardar Patel, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Mahatma Gandhi. Today my 5-year old nephew is studying about the same national leaders. Where are the political heroes of and for the new generation?" Says Rana Daggubati, "My role is actually an amalgamation of a whole lot of younger politicians from Rahul Gandhi to Barak Obama. For months my laptop would be open showing profiles of international politicians. Locally my reference points were Rahul Gandhi, Milind Deora and Sachin Pilot. Today's youth - and I mean people from the age of 19 to 25 - is fully knowledge of present-day politics. They're becoming more and more politically savvy. It's a beautiful direction in which we're heading. I thought the youngsters my age would enjoy the love story. But they connect more with the politics in Leader." Apparently, a song 'Maa Telugu Talli' in Leader had to be changed because of the current political disturbances in Andhra Pradesh. Rana plays it safe by saying, "There were some rumours about removing the song. We did alter it during the shooting because we understand the sensitivity of the issue."]]>" target=_new> by Subhash K.

  • Given a choice Rajeev Khandelwal was happy being attached to his girlfriend Manjiri Kamtikar because he knew marriage or not, he was in love with her for keeps and he didn't need any formal announcement to prove it. But the engagement to be held in May is being done to comply with the lady's parent's wishes... Says Rajeev, "Manjiri and her parents come from a world far removed from cinema and the entertainment industry. They don't understand the workings of Bollywood and their knowledge of what goes on here is based on what they read and see on television. You can't blame them for thinking actors are not to be trusted." Manjiri's parents were anxious that he make the association formal. Gallantly, Rajeev volunteered an engagement ceremony. Says Rajeev, "But I don't know how it got out. I haven't discussed it with anyone. Manjiri's parents or my parents in all their innocence must have shared the information with some people." Rajeev enjoys the distance that his girlfriend provides from the goings-on in the industry. "She works in an ad agency and is far removed from show world. She keeps me grounded. I'm looking forward to spending my life with her."]]>" target=_new> by Subhash K. Jha
    
    
  • Her debut film Aladin may not have worked at the B.O. but that hasn't deterred Jacqueline Fernandez one bit. In fact, the gorgeous actress, who will be seen next in Milap Zaveri's directorial debut Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai (JKSAH), has caught the attention of many-a-top filmmakers one of them being Sajid Khan. The story goes that Sajid was so impressed with Jacqueline in JKSAH that he decided on casting her in a special appearance in his film Housefull. Says director Milap Zaveri, "Everyone knows that Jackie has done a special appearance in a song in Housefull but no one knows how she bagged that. It so happened that Sajid Nadiadwala and Sajid Khan were looking for an actress to do a guest appearance in the 'Apni Toh Jaise Taise' track when they saw JKSAH. They both loved the film and especially Jackie's performance and decided on casting her in that song." Sajid Khan also is happy that he cast Jacqueline for the cameo in the song. "Jackie fit the bill perfectly. I really liked her work in JKSAH and thought she looked really hot in some sequences. So we (producer Sajid Nadiadwala and I) immediately zeroed in on her for a small part in the 'Apni Toh Jaise Taise' track." Looks like JKSAH has already begun doing wonders for Jacqueline's career even before its release.]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network
    
    
  • It seems like the whole of Bollywood has taken to Charity and Philanthropy, and not far behind in this race is Deepika Padukone. She has recently adopted a village in Maharashtra by the name of Ambegaon that needed a do-gooder desperately. Her adoption of the village was part of the Greenathon campaign and since Ambegaon village was facing major electricity crisis, Miss Padukone decided to do the needful. She decided to sponsor them. Picking this village over others wasn't a spur of the moment decision for her. She did a lot of reading and research before she gave the village a helping hand. Going the whole way, Deepika plans to visit the village in the near future again to see the progress. That's being a responsible citizen. What say?]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network

  • When Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif met for a shoot on Monday, it was just like old times when they shot for Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Raajneeti last year. The twosome was fiercely competitive when they shot for the two films. So it was when they shot again together on Monday. The competitive spirit has taken over Raajneeti in a big way. Both Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif see the film as a passport to the National Awards. With stalwarts like Naseeruddin Shah, Manoj Bajpai, Nana Patekar and Ajay Devgn in the cast, the young stars of the show have decided to pull out all stops to ensure their performances are noticed at the right places. All efforts are now on by Ranbir and Katrina to ensure optimum audience participation in Raajneeti. A music video, only a part of which will be included in the film and the rest used for promotion, is to be shot. Says the director Prakash Jha, "We certainly don't want to pitch Raajneeti as a dry political drama .Ranbir and Katrina are big commercial stars. We want their fans to see our film as an entertainer. At an edited length of about 3 hours' playing-time, we want viewers to be glued to the edge of their seats. I wouldn't call it a multi- star cast film .I'd call it a multi-actor film." With the Ranbir-Katrina jodi being hotter-than-July, a certain amount of spicing up is certainly the order of the day. And the hit jodi is more than willing to shoot extra days to ensure the product gets them maximum attention. On Monday, Ranbir and Katrina did some additional shooting for Raajneeti at Mona Shourie's Future Studios long after their dates for Raajneeti had dried up. Ranbir Kapoor just back from Las Vegas rushed to the shooting. close-ups and continuity shots were shot with the two. A sizzling music video featuring Ranbir, Katrina and Arjun Rampal is also on the cards. So who says politicians can't dance? Says Prakash, "We did some patchwork shooting on Monday, close-ups, etc. Yes. It's for the betterment of the end-product. We all want Raajneeti to be a big success. Katrina and Ranbir have surrendered themselves completely to the project and will do whatever is required."]]>" target=_new> by Subhash K. Jha
    
    
  • If there is something that can actually give an inferiority complex to the best adhesive in the world, then, it has to be the 'bond' between T-Series and Music. Testimonies to this fact stand in the form of some of the recent all-time musical hits, from the stable of T-Series and which has found its place in every heart. Continuing the tradition of 'an eye for superhit music', T-Series has gone ahead and acquired the music rights of five films of Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd. These are Khatta Meetha (directed by Priyadarshan, starring Akshay Kumar and Trisha Krishnan), Golmaal 3 (directed by Rohit Shetty, starring Ajay Devgn, Kunal Khemu, Shreyas Talpade and Kareena Kapoor), Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan (starring Akshay Kumar, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif), Neeraj Vora's Run Bhola Run (starring Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor) and an untitled film starring Saif Ali Khan and is being directed by Kunal Kohli. With this mega deal, T-Series once again proves that when it comes to supremacy in music, they are simply second to none! ]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network
    
    
  • Readers may recollect that Bollywood Hungama had reported that 'X-Shades', the leading name in eyewear, after having roped in Sanjay Dutt, has now roped in the Sunil 'Macho Man' Shetty as well as the hottie Bruna Abdullah as their brand ambassadors. Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama about this association, Sujit Jain, Director Shades Lifestyle Ltd. said, "We thought that along with design and quality, we needed to create an aspirational value for the brand. What could be better than joining hands with style icons like Sanjay Dutt and Suniel Shetty." One wonders if any Bollywood director plans to cast the three actors together in a film.]]>" target=_new> by Satish Sundaresan
