His Punjabi hits were "Tera Mera Ki Rishta" and "Munde UK De", but the actor says he will stick to one Punjabi flick a year from now on. "This year it was an exception since it was an old commitment to Manmohan Singh, director of 'Munde UK De'. This is the reason why both 'Tera Mera Ki Rishta' and 'Munde UK De' came almost simultaneously," Jimmy told IANS.

"This story is completely untrue and baseless. We have no idea where this rubbish originated but like all wildfires has spread rapidly,” Rafiq Gangjee, vice president (marketing and communications) of YRF, told IANS over e-mail from Mumbai. The rumours that Shah Rukh would soon follow in the footsteps of Hrithik Roshan by playing a villain opposite actor Abhishek Bachchan in the “Dhoom” series began when British news website femalefirst.co.uk first reported it.

The reports of Salman Khan throwing out Katrina Kaif's belongings from his house has surprised many. Nobody expected Salman to do that as he is known to be a loyal and possessive boyfriend. True Salman and Katrina might have always had a on and off relationship but Salman always maintained that he was in love with Katrina even though the latter never acknowledged it in open.

Manage multiple blog entries here.

So what made Salman take the final call on Katrina? Well the answer might lie with German model Claudia Ceisla. Salman had met Claudia a few months ago in a hotel in Mumbai and was stunned by her beauty. Claudia was looking for work in Bollywood and Salman who had helped many actresses like Aishwarya Bachchan and Katrina Kaif scale the ladder has promised to help her too. The Bollywood hunk even went on to introduce Claudia to his family members who liked the German model. Katrina on the other hand had started making independent career decision unlike in the past when she used to consult Salman and had been constantly turning down his marriage proposals. This prompted Salman to take a final decision before he left for London to shoot. Well Katrina in her wildest dreams may not have thought it would be Salman who would take the final call on their relationship.

MUMBAI (Reuters Life!) - He has effortlessly straddled arthouse and mainstream cinema in India for 25 years, and now actor Anupam Kher is going to Hollywood to work with American director Woody Allen, a filmmaker he has always admired.

Leading Bollywood film producer Vashu Bhagnani’s forthcoming Hindi film Kal Kissne Dekha — the first major Hindi film release ever since the multiplexes have drawn swords with producers — may not see the light of day on May 29 While the film has been ready for the past couple of months, the ongoing tussle over revenue-sharing issues between Bollywood producers and multiplexes has delayed its release twice already. It was slated to hit the theatres in April. However its release was postponed to May 29.

Oil Tanks manufacturing facility, India.

In fact, the movie with a production and marketing budget of around Rs 30 crore may not hit the theatre screens anytime soon because the worldwide distribution rights holder for the film — Reliance Big Entertainment’s film arm Big Pictures — is understood to have put pressure on Bhagnani not to release the film anywhere. Kal Kissne Dekha is important for Bhagnani as it is the launch pad for his son Jackky Bhagnani. Sources say the main reason for postponing the release of his film is pressure on Bhagnani from Big Cinema — the multiplex business arm of Reliance ADA group as both multiplexes and Bollywood producers are at loggerheads over revenue-sharing arrangements among other related issues.

New Delhi (IANS): After Jaideep Sahni and Abbas Tyrewala captivated audiences by penning super-successful scripts for hits like "Chak De!

"Even though the Indian film industry is now world renowned, writing is still the weakest link in Bollywood. In the country, there is no formal education, no regular workshop where one can learn the basic nuances of scriptwriting unlike in the West where there are many such workshops," Pandey told IANS on phone.

Cannes: Film star Hrithik Roshan charmed the Cannes crowd on Friday at the unveiling of Anurag Basu's Kites even as he dropped a bombshell -- and it wasn't his Mexican co-star Barbara Mori.

I use Website Polls for website polls.

Commenting on the film, Hrithik said, "Kites is an international film shot in the US, in English, with a Mexican actress. There is no Bollywood song-and-dance. There is dance, but it is realistic, not Bollywood style. In Bollywood, if an actor has to sing, there is playback, and there are dances out of nowhere -- and that's obsolete now. This is a film for a world platform." I'm not really a great one for cleft chins, but I admit Hrithik looked like serious dude material, one of the few Indian stars with the looks, machismo, charisma, and fluency in English to make it in the West. Somehow, we can't imagine Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, or the Three Khans succeeding thus, despite lording it over ethnic populations. Hrithik put at ease Barbara Mori, who wore a fetching, cleavage-revealing dress with a red rose, and had a charming Spanish accent. The film features Hrithik as a chalu guy born in Las Vegas, who falls in love with Mori -- and there is unexpected betrayal.

Aishwarya had learnt that Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori were staying in the same hotel The Martinez as she and Abhishek and wanted to meet them. But Barbara who is not too familiar with Bollywood seemed not interested in meeting her. When Ash went to greet Hrithik and Barbara the Mexican hottie rushed out of the room citing she had to perform in an event. This apparently left Aishwarya shocked and Hrithik Roshan her Jodhaa Akbar co-star embarrassed. When Hrithik sensed that Aishwarya felt hurt at this he tried to explain her the reasons behind Barbara's strange behaviour. Aishwarya is not having a great time at Cannes and had earlier had a fight with Sonam Kapoor over walking the red carpet together at Cannes.

It’s heard that the film is an Indian adaptation of the Hollywood flick, London to Brighton (2006), starring Lorraine Stanley and Georgia Groome. The shooting of the said film commenced last year with Chattopadhyay shooting a scene at an actual Durga Puja pandal in Kolkata, to bring in a sense of authenticity to the narrative.

New Delhi May 14 There appears to be a strong inverse relationship between the celebrity status of the owner of an IPL team and its performance. Whether this relationship is also causal will be known after a few years.

However, as the table below suggests, the biggest celebrity without doubt is Mr Shah Rukh Khan. His team has the lowest score of three points. Last year, in IPL-1, it was the Rajasthan team whose owner was not well known. It went on to win the tournament.

New Delhi: This might be an opportune moment to ask some questions about the future of Bollywood. There are probably no clear answer to these questions, but given the importance of Bollywood in Indian imagery (some would argue in the idea of India itself), it is worth thinking about its cultural future. In many ways Bollywood experienced healthy changes in recent years. The “liberalisation” of the industry, which made it possible for it to legitimately raise finance, has been a force for good. (It is reassuring to see at the end of so many films that the financier is EXIM Bank, not Dawood Ibrahim -- one unsavoury legacy of the licence-permit raj). The multiplex revolution, the growing influence of “NRI” audiences have transformed it beyond recognition. An astonishing array of new talent has emerged, the production is a lot more professionalised, and niche audiences can be catered to and so on. Whether the body of work that has emerged will rival the corpus of great films in the past, whether truly great art will emerge from professionalism, is still an open question. As a business, it will probably thrive and flourish, but whether this greater “professionalised” Bollywood will occupy the same space in our cultural imaginary is also an open question.

With its A-list stars, air kisses and endless red carpets, the Cannes Film Festival is not famous for thrift. That could change today as a host of Bollywood producers descend on the Riviera, hoping to woo global audiences with cheap Indian movies — spiced with dashes of Western talent.

Among the titles looking for distributors is Teen Patti , a thriller featuring Sir Ben Kingsley, the British actor perhaps best known for playing Gandhi, and Amitabh Bachchan, the Bollywood star, as mathematics professors. The film, which is set in the world of high-stakes gambling, has been made for $7.5 million (£5 million), a pittance in Hollywood terms. It was shot in Mumbai, London and Cambridge by the producer Ambika Hinduja, a member of India’s wealthy Hinduja family. She says that the project is “globalised cinema” — a genre epitomised by the darling of last year’s festivals, Slumdog Millionaire , made for £15 million, but which went on to take £225 million at the box office.

Kidman opts out of Woody Allen’s next Nicole Kidman has opted out of Woody Allen’s untitled film. Animation may be all about creativity and imagination but when it comes to inspiration, Bollywood certainly seems to be the key. Non-film animation categories like Best Console Game and Best Animation in PC Game at the 2nd Golden Cursor Animation Award held last week in Mumbai saw Hanuman-The Boy Warrior and Ghajini respectively walking away with the awards. While the game on Ghajini is based on the film itself, the makers of Hanuman-The Boy Warrior, Aurona Technologies, who created the game for Sony PSP 2, have maintained that the success of the film based on the mythological hero was not the motivating factor to create a game on teen Hanuman. When it came to Best Animation in Mobile Game, Shemaroo’s Ghatothkach - Eat On Before Dawn, again inspired from the film by the same title, emerged as the winner. While the jury did not take into consideration the popularity of these games but concentrated on their content in terms of animation, story-telling, design and layout, production quality and what they term as the ‘X-factor’, that these games take from their counterpart films when it comes to storytelling and popularity cannot be negated.

Mumbai: Films on cricket usually hit theatres during a major sporting event like the World Cup. So we're not surprised that the release of 99 during the Indian Premier League tourney in South Africa is an attempt to piggyback on the current cricket fever. However, there's a twist to the tale as the movie is using the shock which millions of fans in India, a country where the sport is a religion, went through when prominent members of the Indian cricket team (Mohammad Azharuddin, Ajay Jadeja, Manoj Prabhakar, Ajay Sharma and the team's then physiotherapist Ali Irani) were named in a match-fixing scandal as its backdrop in 2000. And apparently since the movie has tied up with the IPL and its stars have travelled to SA, they are not promoting the movie with this controversial peg so as to not irk the BCCI.

"Our film's title has several connotations but it definitely has the crisis cricket went through in 1999 and 2000 in its plot. These controversies are being used as a backdrop. But though the film is inspired by real events, none of the characters resemble anyone," says director Raj Nidimoru. 1999 saw a match-fixing cloud over the year's World Cup as reportedly South Africa cricket boss Dr Ali Bacher had alleged that Pakistan had played two fixed matches. The country had then held a five-month inquiry into this accusation and came out with a report saying "no direct evidence" was found.

The early days Hindi Cinema had onscreen mothers cry, weep, suffer and wait for their death to rid herself of her sorrows. But with changing times, this Bollywood formula has become outdated and is dumped. The role of a mother then went from being feebly weak to ultra strong in the late 80's. She had the power to take it upon herself and get things done on her terms. She took revenge for every injustice done to her.

Somewhere in the late 90's, there was another change. This time it was the proverbial term 'Maa' that underwent a metamorphosis to become the modern 'Mom'. It was then that the Bollywood moms evolved from the flowing drapes of a sari to move on to designer wears. No longer did she fall at the feet of a durga idol praying for salvation and seek justice. These moms moved forward with the new generation and became friends with their children rather than forcing themselves on them. In early 2000's, single and working mothers also got incorporated into Hindi cinema. Veteran actresses such as Rekha and Kirron Kher, who played single mothers in Koi Mil Gaya and Hum Tum respectively, displayed such attributes with great stance and poise. Even Lara Dutta portrayed the urban single mother in Partner who single-handled managed both her career and home.

His behaviour was very down to earth and it was a learning lesson for a quiet a few snobby Bollywood celebs who prefer who at general Bollywood parties always tend to keep their nose up in the air despite not much talent or hits to talk about." Another source adds, "Gerald is visiting Mumbai for the first time and plans to head to Hrishikesh, and then return to Mumbai to board their flight back to Mumbai. He has also been enjoying dinner at chic Mumbai restaurants such as Indigo and the Thai Pavilion." The Mannat bash was actually hosted by Shahrukh's wife Gauri along with socialite Kaajal Anand. Amongst the guests present at the party were the King Khan's close group of friends such as Arjun Rampal and his wife Mehr Jesia, who live close by to Shahrukh's villa, Farhan Akhtar and wife Adhuna (who also live within walking distance), Karan Johar, Dino Morea, Sajid Khan, Ashustosh Gowariker, Seema (Sohail) Khan, Malaika Arora Khan and Amrita Arora.

Kareena was part of the special video created by Karan Johar and Tarun Mansukhani encouraging citizens to go and vote. However, when the V-day came, Bebo was nowhere in the picture. Apparently, Kareena is shooting for Karan Johar's production along with Saif Ali Khan and Vivek Oberoi in the US of A and hence couldn't make it. Well, that certainly doesn't count as an excuse cos if Aamir and Shah Rukh could fly down from US and South Africa respectively for casting their Vote, Kareena surely could have. This is one Tashan of Bebo which failed to impress us one bit. Kareena's once-upon-a- time 'good friend' Shahid Kapoor also didn't make it to cast his Vote and this despite him being in town.
