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
In the last episode, the Roadies had a pleasant surprise in Irrfan Khan. But in this episode, there seems to be nothing pleasant because things got dangerous. They rode upto an old factory at Chandok and there they had to perform immunity task. If you pass the immunity task, then you become immune to vote-out. But when you are hung upside down and you are to collect live CRABS like that, even the most daring person will think twice before doing that. And not surprisingly, none could perform the task. But the task showed one thing- how daring you are to achieve something. Anyway, we also saw the vote-out for the first time after the contestants became Roadies. Gaurav Gill was the one to be voted out though he seemed promising. And one more thing, one of the eliminated contestants was called back and she is Mannat. Check out the whole episode below.
The wait is finally over with Vindu Dara Singh being declared the winner of Bigg Boss 3. The runners-up were Pravesh Rana, a model and the actress of yesteryears Poonam Dhillon. Vindu Dara Singh is the son of legendary actor, Dara Singh who is famous for his roles in the televised serial of Ramayan by Ramanand Sagar. It was a double treat for the winner. Not only did he win the cash prize of 1 crore, but he also drove home a Chevrolet Cruze which he won for being the ‘most stylish and bold housemate’. The announcement of the winner was done in the presence of Amitabh Bachchan, who has been hosting this show, in Lonavala. It was a long ordeal of 84 days where the participants had no contact with the outside world. They had to go through all kinds of betrayal and manipulation, and one by one got eliminated till the last three were left standing.
Though the winner might not be quite popular with his houemates in the competition but he was the driving force behind the TRP of the show. It was his violent bursts of anger which kept the audience glued to their televisions. Anyway, he got a long awaited break in his career. He made his debut in Hindi Films with Karan in ’94. Then he came in the Punjabi film directed by his father, Rab Diya Rakhan. But he is more known for his roles in various tv serials, like the one where he plays Hanuman in the series Jai Hanuman, just like his father. Recently, he was seen in Kambakht Ishq.
