Yash Raj's TASHAN in Ladakh, Shahid worried?



It is now certain that some important portions of Yash Raj's next action blockbuster after DHOOM 2, is to be shot in the high altitude regions of Ladakh. Yes, we are talking about the Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer, TASHAN.

In fact, as we pen this column, chances are that Kareena and Saif must have already left for the capital, Leh. While the audience will love the exotic locales (as seen in LAKSHYA), the person who is really worried is Kareena's boyfriend, Shahid Kapur!

We just wonder if it has anything to do with all the horrific stories about the tough conditions that the cast of Samir Karnik's MERA BHARAT MAHAAN faced. For those who do not know, Bobby Deol and others had to put up at a hotel where there was no water or electricity for 4-days!

Sajid Nadiadwala turns Akshay into a 'Party Animal'



Akshay swears that the schedule of HEYY BABYY in Sydney was one of the best outdoor, he has ever shot for.

Akshay Kumar is hardly known to be a party animal. He prefers to sleep early and rise early for his martial art exercise and then heads on to shoot. But producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who loves the good life and is considered as one of the best producers to work with, ganged up with Fardeen and took Akshay partying in one of the best night clubs in Sydney. The boy's day out (or should one call it night) turned out to be one of the highlights of the schedule as they had a blast at the night club. Even Akshay partied till wee hours in the morning. According to insiders, the male bonding was so strong that they carried on partying for a week continuously.

So if you ever see Akshay enjoying the nightlife across the globe, you know who to blame for turning Akshay into a 'party animal'.

Sajid loves to work hard and party harder

Nisha Kothari ready to commit suicide with Fardeen!



Nisha Kothari has just worked with Fardeen Khan for an item number in DARLING. And she is now contemplating suicide with her dance partner, that too 'khushi-khushi'!

Well, before you start getting any ideas, let us clarify that Fardeen is quite happy with his married life while young Nisha is looking forward to a good career laid out for her ahead. This decision of hers is strictly for the screen as she matches steps with Fardeen for the song 'Aa Khushi Se Khudkhushi Kar Le'. The song's theme is centered on the protagonists being so happy with love that they are willing to die for each other!

The song has just been premiered on the small screen and the impact is intoxicating to say the least. While Nisha entices once again with her wild-cat act, Fardeen gets yet another rocking number in a RGV film to his credit after 'Kambakth Ishq' (PYAAR TUNE KYA KIYA).

Set to tune by Pritam, the song is a definite chartbuster in the making and would ensure that it keeps the film in news before its September release

Shah Rukh's inspiration for CHAKDE! INDIA



The first CHAKDE! INDIA promo (with JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM), met with mixed reactions. Some loved it, some found it unimpressive. Those who loved it were happy about the fact that Shah Rukh Khan, 'the actor', was finally here. And with a performance befitting his stature. Coming to those who did not appreciate the first promo, they were, perhaps, expecting another Raj-Rahul act from SRK, or were looking for glamorous faces (like Preity and Rani!), amidst realistic hockey players!

Cutting a long story short, the subsequent promos got uniform acclaim and when Shah Rukh Khan was queried about his inspiration for the true-to-life hockey coach, 'Kabir Khan', he was forthright and honest as usual. He disclosed that his school day sports teacher, Brother Eric D'Souza (presently in Shillong) was his inspiration for the role. The superstar further elaborated that Brother D'Souza taught him not just hockey, but football and cricket as well.

Brother D'Souza, if you are reading this, here is wishing you a long and healthy life and many more Shah Rukhs!

CASH - Brazilian beauty Bruna sizzles in 'Reham Kare'



The wait is finally over.

Anubhav Sinha certainly has a thing or two about roping in foreign models/dancers in his films. He did this in 'Deedar De' (DUS) and now he repeats the act in 'Reham Kare' by roping in Brazilian beauty Bruna Abdalah.

The song was much awaited ever since this Vishal-Shekhar soundtrack was heard first. While 'Cash', 'Mindblowing Mahiya', 'Naughty Naughty' and 'Zara Bachke' were on the air for quite a while, wait for 'Reham Kare' was only becoming longer with every passing day.

It is now over with the song finally being aired on the small screen. Undoubtedly, the impact is nothing but breathtaking to say the least. Not just the beauty look extremely seductive and mind blowing in the song, it is also the overall setting of 'Reham Kare' which impresses in a big way. Be it the sets, lighting or choreography - each of the factors come together to ensure that the song becomes a rage as the film reaches closer to it's 3rd August release date.

This Rajiv Goswami choreographed song also features Riteish Deshmukh and Zayed Khan apart from Bruna. 'Reham Kare' is written by Panchhi Jalonvi with Sunidhi Chauhan and Vishal Dadlani coming behind the mike.
