Kareena Kapoor Is Going To Play The Sex Worker In Heera Mandi
Kareena Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali will finally be working together on Sanjay's next film after Guzaarish. The two had been hoping to work together for a long time but their plans fell through every time. Once Kareena returns from shooting for Agent Vinod in Morocco, the two will meet and finalise their project together.
Kareena and Sanjay were supposed to work on a film on Mahatma Gandhi's son after Devdas, but circumstances forced Sanjay to shelve the film.
They then planned Bajirao Mastain with Salman Khan, but that had to be scrapped after Kareena and Salman's Kyon Ki flopped.
Then Sanjay got busy with Black and Kareena could not be a part of it as her sister Karisma and Black's male lead Amitabh Bachchan's son Abhishek had just broken their engagement. But now, it seems the two will finally get together.

Aamir Khan Turned Down KBC 4 & Big B Accepted It
Allright! He may have said in an interview to a news channel that he was never offered 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 4' in the first place, but it's no secret that Sony Entertainment Television and BIG Synergy were keen on working with Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan.
A prominent Mumbai tabloid had first reported on Aamir Khan being offered the show. Producer Siddhart Basu was quoted saying that Sony Pictures, which owns the format, might have had an initial discussion with Aamir.
The actor's spokesperson too had neither confirmed nor denied the story. In another report, Basu claimed that Aamir is one individual who he would like to work with.
Just few weeks back, the buzz in the air was that it will be Aamir who will make his TV debut as the host of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 4'.
Rumour has it that a popular news channel was even going to go ahead and break this news. However, everyone was shocked when it was learnt that it won't be Aamir but Amitabh Bachchan who will host the show. We were the first to report this story.
Well, it just wasn't the public, but we too were taken by surprise by this development. Earlier, we'd broken the news of Khan being offered two projects – KBC 4 and orginal concept. However, it was KBC that he was expected to sign. So what went wrong then?
A industry insider says, “Look while there was no formal offer, top officials from Sony did meet the actor. As always, Aamir takes his own time to respond.
Unfortunately, for Sony, Aamir turned it down. He felt that doing TV is an enormous task. Aamir was simply of the view that he's not ready to take up such big responsibility as yet. Besides, he didn't have the time as he'll be busy, looking after his home productions.”
Second choice simply doesn't exist in the Bollywood superstar's lexicon. After reading all about, Khan, why did Amitabh Bachchan accept the show then?
“If it's KBC and Big B, there's simply no question of a second choice. Let's not forget that it's Bachchan who had propelled the show both in season one and two. Besides, I don't think Mr. Bachchan has any airs. Sony is confident that with Bachchan back as host, KBC will get the same numbers as it did for Star, ” added the source.
Well, speculations, comparison, and theories around KBC won't end. Now that Bachchan is back at the helm, the viewers will simply say, “Let's play' Kaun Banega Crorepati'!

Miss Sherawat's first overseas project The Myth with Jackie Chan, has inspired her to take up the route to Hollywood. She has already acted in Hollywood movies like Hisss and Love Barack. Now, Mallika is going share screen space with the Hollywood actress Salma Hayek. In fact, the two ladies have reportedly bonded very well.
During the Cannes film festival, Mallika met Salma Hayek, who expressed her interest to work together in future.
According to the sources, “Mallika is soon going to appear in a Hollywood project with Salma Hayek. They got friendly during the Cannes festival and discussed a lot about cinema. Mallika's Hiss act has impressed Salma and she praised the lady greatly.”

Mallika and Salma starrer film is supposed to be a women-centric one and Sherawat will be seen in the central character.
The source further informed, “The much talked about movie's story revolves around the abuse on women, which exists all over the world. Mallika loved the storyline and has shown interest to be a part of it.”
Salman Khan Is Going To Be Bodyguard of Deepika Padukone
If all goes well, then Salman Khan may turn out to be the bodyguard of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone!
Don't get confused, he is very much into acting and it will be for the sake of a film only. There is a speculation that the Hindi remake of the South Indian director Siddique's Malayalam film Bodyguard, will be cast will Deepika Padukone opposite the Wanted star Salman Khan.
The Malayalm version of the film was released in March. The leading South Indian director Siddique wrote and directed the film himself.
The story of the film deals with a young man, who gets attracted to people, with heroic qualities and follows them like a bodyguard. But, the interesting twist comes when he is hired to accompany a businessman's gorgeous daughter to college as a real bodyguard.
In the Malayalam version of Bodyguard, South Indian actors Dileep and Nayantara were in the lead roles. Currently, the director is busy with the Tamil version of the film, which stars Asin and the South superstar Vijay.
Many other filmmakers approached Siddique but only Atul Agnihotri managed to get the rights for the Hindi version of the film. Siddique will take up the role of the director and writer in the Hindi version after completing the Tamil one.
Salman Khan has confirmed playing the lead role but Deepika is not sure yet. Atul informed that they were still working on the script. He added, “We are still completing other important tasks before we decide on signing the actors.”
Atul said that the shooting of the film will commence on December 6 in Ranikhet.
Shahid and Sonam Turned Into Adult Stars Overnight With Mausam
After playing the giddyheaded starry-eyed young lover-girl in all her films so far including the about-to-be-released I Hate Luv Storys, Sonam Kapoor in Mausam is all set to play a girl who evolves into a woman in the course of the film.
Her clothes which are always a source of powerful on-screen personality-transference for her have been worked on at great lengths by designer Anamika Khanna.
And the result, says a member of the crew, is no less than devastating.
Apparently Sonam was initially reluctant to get into the mature mould.
“She had reservations about being bracketed in the maturer mould so early in her career. In all her films so far from Saawariya to Thank You Sonam has played girls her own age and dressed accordingly, in what she's comfortable with. The Western clothes that 'd transform her into a chic Delhi socialite in Aisha are as much a part of her personality as the salwar-kameez that she wore in Delhi 6.”
Apparently designer Anamika Khanna who has worked earlier with Sonam in Delhi 6 has been poring over the designs with Sonam trying to figure out what clothes she's most comfortable in.
Shahid who needed to make a sartorial changeover to play the mature mellow lover in the later part of the film, has also been heard joking about how Mausam has turned him and Sonam into overnight adult stars.
Says the Mausam producer Sheetal Talwar, “Shahid has sported the mature mellow look in Jab We Met. But for Sonam the transformation from girl to woman in Mausam is a challenge. Before she left for Scotland Sonam wanted to be completely comfortable in her new avatar.”
Saif Ali Don't Want Kareena Kapoor to Miss Her Sister Karisma Kapoor's Birthday
Frantic efforts are on to accommodate Karisma Kapoor’s birthday into her sister Kareena’s choc-a-clock schedule. But it seems unlikely that the busy actress would be able to join her Didi for her birthday on June 25.
Ironically it is Saif who seems more concerned about missing Karisma’s birthday.
Says a source, “Saif gets along like a house on fire with Karisma and her husband Sanjay. The two guys often share a lot of outdoor fun activities together. Saif doesn’t want that he and Kareena should miss her sister’s birthday this year. ”
Saif’s concern and guilt for the sisters not being together on that very special day is heightened by the fact that Kareena would be shooting for his film Agent Vinod in Morocco on Karisma’s birthday.
Kareena rules out that possibility of Karisma flying down to Morocco “How can my sister fly down to Morocco? No, she’ll be in Mumbai with her baby. She has just had a baby boy who’s not even four months old. She can’t leave the city. ”
Interestingly Kareena seems to handle her absence from this important day in her sister with much pragmatism and common sense. “How can I be in Mumbai? I’ll be shooting in Tangiers in Morocco on my sister’s birthday. Work always comes first in our family. So there would be no birthday plans with my sister this year. ”
The over-worked sister says she won’t even have time to buy anything for Karisma this year. “There’s no time to breathe. Forget buying anything. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going, ”sighs Kareena.
Kareena has never missed any of her sister’s birthday. In recent years Kareena had quite often gone to join Karisma in Delhi when the elder sister was staying in the Capital with her husband.
This time Kareena is trying to focus on Saif’s project rather than on Karisma’s birthday. “ I looooove the title Agent Vinod. It’s the coolest. We’ve already started shooting for it. We leave for Tangiers in Morocco on 22 June for twenty days. ”
Imran Khan Proposed Juhi Chawla?
Three film-old Imran Khan says he had an eternal crush on Juhi Chawla and that he would love to work in a film like "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak", which was his uncle Aamir Khan's debut vehicle.
"While growing I had a huge crush on Juhi Chawla. I loved her in 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'. I actually proposed to her as a child, " Imran told reporters at the Landmark book store at Infinity Mall. He was here to unveil a special two-book collection of Mills & Boon series based on his forthcoming movie "I Hate Luv Storys".
"I would love to act in a film made similar to 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', " he added.
The actor, who plays a non-romantic guy in "I Hate Luv Storys", insists he's very old fashioned and traditional when it comes to love in real life.
"I am a very old fashioned and traditional guy when it comes to love. The proof of this is I have been with the same girl for the last eight years, " said Imran, who is engaged to Avantika Malik.
Asked what qualities he looks for in a girl, he said, "Apart from physical attractiveness, I like if the girl is funny and cracks jokes, however, at the same time someone with whom I can also have an intellectual conversation. A lot of girls say they like funny guys. This is true for guys also as they like girls with good sense of humour."
Kareena Kapoor Don't Have Time For Her Sister Karishma Kapoor
Flies to Morocco almost as soon as she lands in Mumbai from Hyderabad, has asked mom, sis and niece to meet her at airport
Kareena Kapoor cannot take time out for sister Karisma Kapoor's birthday (on June 25). In fact, she is so busy that her mother Babita is packing her bags for an overseas schedule ahead of the actress' return to Mumbai.
Says Kareena, "I am shooting in Hyderabad till June 23. I land in Mumbai at 9 pm and from the domestic airport, go to the international terminal.
I board a flight to Marrakech, Morocco for Saif's Agent Vinod in a couple of hours after that. It's so hectic that I won't be able to go home and pack. In fact, I have told mom to pack my stuff and meet me at the airport."
The actress says she's sad, as it is one of those rare occasions that she will miss sis Karisma's birthday as well.
"I have asked Lolo and Samaira to come to the airport for half an hour so we can sit and chat in the car. I don't know if Samaira can come so late at night but I'd love to have her come. I am feeling terrible that I won't see her for more than a month."
She adds. "I told Lolo to pick up a gift for herself and that I'd pick up the tab later. There's just no time for anything. I am shooting double shifts in Hyderabad -- Rohit Shetty's Golmaal 3 in the day and three cell phone ads at night. After the schedule of Agent Vinod in Morocco, I join SRK's Ra.One unit in London. I will return to India only in July-end."
There's no respite for Kareena till year-end. "I have three films to complete -- Golmaal 3, Ra.One and Agent Vinod. Then Madhur's (Bhandarkar) film starts in December. Then I am endorsing 11 brands and have performed at every award show this year.
In September and October, I get busy with the promotion of Golmaal 3 and Karan's (Johar) Stepmom. In fact, I have requested Shah Rukh to keep a schedule of Ra.One in Mumbai so I can be there to promote Golmaal 3. He has agreed."
In talks
There's a buzz that Kareena has signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heera Mandi. Says a source close to the actress, "They're in talks. Nothing's official as of now. Bebo and Sanjay have been keen to work with each other for three years now.
There's no script locked in as of now. Sanjay has offered her a couple of scripts including Heera Mandi. Once, she's done with her overseas schedules, she will meet him and discuss which script to sign. They will definitely work together next year.".
