SHARUKH KHAN CUTS COSTS

KING KHAN SURE HAS LEARNT A LESSON OR TWO FROM THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF RAONE. IF ANYTHING, HE'S LEARNT TO TIGHTEN THE PURSE STRINGS. THE VFX OF RAONE WAS A TOLL ON THE OVERALL BUDGET OF THE MOVIE. NOW, HE'S KEEPING A TAB ON THE BUDGET OF HIS NEXT PRODUCTION CHENNAI EXPRESS. WE HEAR THAT HE'S ADVISED DIRECTOR ROHIT SHETTY TO CUT DOWN ON THE ACTION BUDGET OF THE FILM. SHETTY, WHO'S FAMOUS FOR HIS ACTION SEQUENCES AND FOR BLOWING UP HUNDREDS OF CARS IN THE CLIMAX, WAS TOLD NOT TO GO OVERBOARD. SHETTY OF COURSE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LISTEN TO SHARUKH KHAN.

VIDYA BALAN WORRIED A LITTLE BIT :-)

VIDYA BALAN HAS LOST HER SLEEP. NO NO, IT'S NOT A MEDICAL CONDITION. THING IS SHE'S CONCERNED ABOUT HER NEXT FILM GHANCHAKKAR WHERE SHE STARS OPPSITE EMRAAN HASHMI. SHE PLAYS A PUNJABI HOUSE WIFE IN THE MOVIE AND SHE'S WORRIED SHE WON'T GET THE NUANCES OF HER CHARACTER. SHE BELIEVES IT IS TOUGH FOR A SOUTH INDIAN TO PLAY A PUNJABI. WE HEAR EVERY TIME SHE MEETS THE CREATIVE TEAM OF THE FILM, ALL SHE SAYS IS, "I'M WORRIED. I'LL HAVE TO PREPARE. I'LL HAVE TO PREPARE." NOT THAT THE TALENTED ACTRESS NEEDS TO WORRY. BUT WE'RE STILL TOUCHED BY HER EARNESTNESS.

JOHN ABRAHAM BUYS AN ENTIRE BUILDING

JOHN ABRAHAM MAY NOT BE IN THE LIMELIGHT RECENTLY. BUT THE ACTOR IS BUSY BUILDING HIS NEST OR SO WE'RE TOLD. THE ACTOR IT SEEMS IS BUSY BUILDING PROPERTY FOR HIMSELF. RECENTLY HE BOUGHT A FLAT FOR HIMSELF IN THE UPMARKET BANDRA. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, HE BOUGHT ANOTHER FLAT IN THE SAME BUILDING AND THEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS YET ANOTHER ONE. AND HE WAS THE OWNER OF THE THREE STOREY BUILDING. BUT THERE IS MORE TO IT. APPARENTLY, A GIRL WAS LIVING ON THE RENT IN ONE OF THE FLATS. WHEN SHE REFUSED TO VACATE THE FLAT, JOHN PERSONALLY WENT TO HER AND ASKED HER POLITELY TO LEAVE. NOT JUST THAT HE EVEN PROMISED TO FIND HER A FLAT. AND GUESS WHAT? HE FULFILLED HIS PROMISE, HE GOT HER A FLAT AND HELPED HER MOVE OUT. NOW ISN'T THAT SWEET?

SALMAN KHAN'S ILLNESS IS BACK

A FEW MONTHS AGO SALMAN KHAN WAS DETECTED WITH TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA. HE EVEN FLEW TO AMERICA FOR A SURGERY TO GET RID OF THE ILLNESS. IN FACT HE WAS OPERATED TWICE. BUT WE'RE TOLD THAT THE ILLNESS HAS RESURFACED ONCE AGAIN. THE PAIN HAD SUBSIDED AFTER THE SECOND OPERATION BUT IT'S BACK NOW. AND THE ACTOR IS IN AGONY. BUT HE'S BUSY WITH HIS NEW MOVIE SHOOT AT KAMAISTAN FOR DABANGG 2. A FEW DAYS OF ACTION SEQUENCE REMAIN. THOUGH THE ACTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED TO TAKE IT EASY, HE'S IN NO MOOD TO DO SO. APPARENTLY HE WANTS TO FINISH THE MOVIE ON TIME. SO ILLNESS HAS TAKEN A BACK SEAT FOR THE MOMENT. "HEARD THAT, SALMAN KHAN IS NOT TOO HAPPY WITH THE WAY ARBAAZ KHAN IS HANDLING DABANGG 2. SO HE HAS TAKEN OVER THE PROJECT. HE'S SUPERVISING EVERY ASPECT OF THE FILM."

JACQUELINE FERNANDES REFUSES TO ENTER POOL

IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT JACQUELINE AND SAJID KHAN ARE SEEING EACH OTHER. WHAT'S NOT KNOWN IS THE KING OF INFLUENCE SAJID KHAN EXERTS ON HIS GIRL FRIEND. HE DECIDES WHAT MOVIE SHE WILL DO, WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES SHE WILL WEAR AND WHO SHE WILL TALK TO. WE'RE TOLD THAT SHE REFUSED KRISH 3 BECAUSE HER BEAU DIDN'T APPROVE OF IT. SHE APPARENTLY MIFFED SAJID NADIADWALA WHEN SHE REFUSED TO JUMP IN TO THE POOL FOR A SCENE IN A MOVIE HE WANTED TO OFFER HER. INSIDERS TELL US THAT SAJID KHAN WAS APPARENTLY THE CULPRIT. THE MOMENT HE GOT TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS A POOL SCENE IN THE MOVIE, HE TOLD JACQUELINE TO HOLD HER HORSES. AND NADIADWALA WAS TOLD THAT SHE WOULD DO THE MOVIE ONLY IF THE POOL SCENE WAS DELETED FROM THE SCRIPT. NATURALLY, IT DIDN'T GO DOWN WELL WITH NADIADWALA. HE REFUSED TO CAN THE SCENE AND TOLD OFF THE ACTRESS.

BOLLYWOOD: AAMIR KHAN TRAINS WITH TIGER

AMIR KHAN IS GEARING UP FOR HIS CHARACTER IN DHOOM 3. WE BELIEVE AAMIR IS PLAYING AS A GYMNAST IN THE MOVIE AND THE ACTOR IS TRAINING HARD TO LOOK THE PART. HELPING HIM IN THE ENDEAVOUR IS NONE OTHER THAN JACKIE SHROFF'S  SON TIGER. TIGER IT SEEMS IS A TRAINED GYMNAST AND AN EXPERT AT PARKOUR. AAMIR WAS AMAZED BY HIS SKILLS SO MUCH THAT HE INVITED THE YOUNG ONE TO WORKOUT AND TRAIN HIM AT HIS PERSONAL GYM. THE TWO WORKOUT HOURS ON END.
           TIGER TO MAKE HIS DEBUT, MEANWHILE TIGER HAS BEEN SPOTTED AT FARHAN AKTHAR'S EXCEL ENTERTAINMENT OFFICE. RUMORS ARE RIFE THAT HE MIGHT SIGN ON WITH THEM. ALSO ON THE ANVIL IS AAMIR KHAN'S OFFER AND SAJID NANDIADWALA'S THREE FILM OFFER. THE NEWCOMER IS CONTEMPLATING HIS CHOICES. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHICH WAY HE TURNS.
