Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor in cold war
It is rumored that Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor have picked up a fight and the reason is apparently an angel-faced actress, Katrina Kaif.

According to sources, “Deepika Padukone had got the news from her sources about Ranbir’s growing comfort level with Katrina on and off the sets of Rajkumar Santoshi’s Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani during the two month shooting schedule in Ooty. Deepika got very insecure when her sources from the sets of the same film told about what was happening between the two in the Goa schedule.”

He further added, “It is learnt that during the Goa shoot both Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif appeared more than comfortable with each other than before even in front of the unit members on the sets. Deepika Padukone went to Goa straightaway after hearing from her source. During her one day trip she met her source and came back to Mumbai.”

Apparently when Ranbir realized what was happening he made a call to Deepika, which ended in an argument. Thereafter Deepika Padukone is apparently not returning any calls from Ranbir Kapoor.

One mere look at Dia, and one will start wondering if the dress is enhancing her or vice versa. But amidst all this, what we forgot about is the lucky cell phone that has found its place in heaven, we mean, Dia's palms! The reader will be in for a shock not to see her interview anywhere in the mag. But the shock will be doubled when they see her posing with all the latest gizmos and gadgets, which include a laptop, watch and yes... a cell phone also!
Kangana Ranaut working hard on her diet
Who doesn’t want to look better? The latest victim of this look-phobia being Kangana Ranaut in the Bollywood. Kangana Ranaut has put on quite a bit of weight of late. And it has been reported that she has been working extra hard on her diet. All because she believes that she needs to look better.

She remarks on her new look, "I was too thin earlier. And the fact was that I never really took care of myself. But now I have started taking care of the way I look. I am exercising and eating the right food," she adds. And Kangana says that she is glad with all the response and appreciation. "There have been times when I was criticised and I used to feel very bad about it. Things change with time. I am growing up now," says she.

But that's definitely not the only reason the actress is trying to put on some weight. She reveals there is more to it. "I need to look different for a Salsa number which I will shoot soon for my next film 'Kites'. That's a reason too. And let me tell you I am very nervous about it right now," says Kangana. The Salsa will obviously be opposite Hrithik Roshan, who, without a doubt, is the best dancer in the industry. "I think he is very kind," Kangana says talking about the actor praising her recently. It seems she likes Hrithik. Or shall we put it this way that she likes people with muscular physic like Hrithik. And she does agree. "On a personal level I like kind of muscular body," she smiles.

Kangana was recently seen as a model given to drug addiction in 'Fashion' and soon will be seen in 'Raaz - The Mystery Continues' directed by Moht Suri. And then she will be seen romancing Hrithik in one of next year's most awaited movies, 'Kites', which is being directed by Anurag Basu.

Slumdog Millionaire to be released in India in Jan 2009

Very few of the films achieve the pinnacle of being touted as the Best Film of the year. However, for director Danny Boyle this isn't something new. Close on the heels of his film The Beach, comes yet another critically acclaimed film Slumdog Millionaire.

Well for starters, the film managed to garner rave reviews across the US in the opening week itself, while in Toronto it was awarded the People's Choice Award and in the UK it was the closing extravaganza for the London Film festival this year. The film has already been slated to be nominated for the Oscars. And the film will soon be releasing in India.

Says Vijay Singh, CEO of Fox Star Studios India, "In keeping with Fox STAR studio's commitment to produce and distribute world-class local-language films, we are proud to announce the release of Slumdog Millionaire in January. It's an extraordinary film which tells a classic Indian story in a refreshingly clever, stylish and engaging manner."

However, though the long wait for the film has ended, it still entails a bit of an anticipation builder with it strategically being released in January 2009. Slumdog Millionaire starring Anil Kapoor, Dev Patel, Irrfan Khan and Freida Pinto tells the story of an immensely resilient and loving boy from the slum of Mumbai whose adventures take him from the desolate poverty of begging on the streets to the wildly popular game show stage of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”, where he surprises everyone with his knowledge.

The film will be releasing in Hindi with the title of Slumdog Millionaire- Kaun Banega Karorepati.

Mumbai based Freida Pinto is one of the few Indian models to start her film career with a Hollywood film. The find of well-known Hollywood director Danny Boyle, Freida will be seen in Boyle's new film, Slumdog Millionaire.

Katrina Kaif in Vogue December edition
She is what one would call as the 'proverbial lucky Kat'. We are referring to none other than our very own Katrina Kaif, whose looks are enough to make a million dollars look worthless. All this and much more...only on the elite fashion magazine 'Vogue'.

The lady needs to be applauded with a standing ovation for keeping her public life public and private life private! Not just that, she was committed to give this interview to the Vogue magazine, but the behind-the-screen, fact remains that she had just come from a whopping 19-hour shoot in New York, where she was shooting for YRF's New York that stars John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh.

The magazine's photographer seems to be the less of a photographer and more of a magician. How else would you describe the swift transformation of the actress Katrina to angel Katrina in the snaps! Katrina, on her part tells the readers that, "Actors feel lost without all the attention. I am most comfortable in front of 300 people on a set. Otherwise, I am lost. It's too much quiet, too much alone". There are some of the other gems that Kats has spoken in this endearing interview, but we do not want to play the spoilsport by telling it all. Get your hands on Vogue for that...

Nikhil Advani to shoot Chandni Chowk To China in Bangkok
After a major part of the shooting, the director Nikhil Advani and his entire crew had to hastily leave China and look for an alternative place to shoot the rest of the film. If New York is being shot in Philadelphia Chandni Chowk To China has been shot in Bangkok. And with good reason.

Says Nikhil, "It was the year of the Olympics in China and it became impossible beyond a point to shoot in the country where our film is based. Maybe a quieter less flamboyant film…but not the kind of action that Akshay has shot."

Apparently, the Olympics authorities found Akshay Kumar's athletic exertions to be a bit of an intrusion in the preparations for the grand international event. Says Nikhil, "Bangkok's topography is quite similar to China. Also, it's a very Bollywood-friendly country. So we just had to let go of the real country. Because the action scenes required Olympian skills and infrastructure."

Akshay Kumar had to battle it out with globally-known actors like Gordon Lieu who was in The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin and Roger Yuan, the main baddie in the Jackie Chan starrer Shanghai Noon.

Says Nikhil, "Gordon Lieu is a well-known name in Hollywood and Roger Yuan is the only Asian actor who works out of Bollywood. They both play arch-villains. Then I've a cast of actors who are stalwarts in China. They held on their own against Akshay, even when they were taken out of their home ground and put into Bangkok masquerading as China."

Incidentally, apart from Akshay, Mithun Chakraborty who was also quite an action star during his heydays has been given to do stunts in Chandni Chowk To China. Says Nikhil, "Mithunda will kick some ass too. Action is the backbone of my film. While other films have item songs Chandni Chowk To China has item-action. It's the action scenes that move the plot forward. The songs are extremely situational. I'm very lucky. I got Bappi Lahiri to re-do his 'Bambai Se Aaya Mera Dost'. I think the music is a decent follow-up to my Salaam-e-Ishq."
