John Abraham in “Force”

John Abraham, certified hunk and heart stopper male, is all set to get zillions of females (and scores of certain males too, ahem) drooling over his physicality some more. And it’s all gonna happen with terrific ‘Force’.
John Abraham, who’s bagged low innings recently at the cine stakes, is all set to regain lost ground with ‘Force’ produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and helmed by the shy and bearded Nishikant Kamat ( ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ in 2008).
Being revved up for a mid 2011 release, ‘Force’, the Hindi remake of the Tamil super winner ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ starring Surya, will have John Abraham enacting a cop and romancing Genelia D’Souza on screen, both firsts for the actor.
‘Force’, a joint venture between Fox Star Studios and Vipul A Shah is being touted as an action flick having spectacular action sequences that “are going to be a first for Indian audiences.”
High praise has been forthcoming for Johnny Boy on both counts. Lauding his efforts Shah declares in a media quote that “John has surprised me with his performance and this is one of his best films.” Director Kamat too hails Johnny Boy in a newspaper talk stating, “I could not have asked for a more dedicated actor than John who was very involved in every aspect of filmmaking. And that makes him a treat to work with.”
John’s ‘Force’ promises to be a full throttle action flick, resonating heavily along the lines of Aditya Chopra’s ‘Dhoom.’
An elated John admits in a tabloid chat that “it’s been a long wait to revisit action in films,” though he’s delighted that the timing is just right. Says John, ” Vipul offered me the film because he feels that I am an action hero and with Nishikant I have discovered the magic of raw action. But what is really more beautiful is the romance in ‘Force’. I believe that this will be my first pan India film after a long gap.” Source

Akshay Kumar Slaps A Security Guard For Son Aarav

Recently the Khiladi Akshay Kumar switched on his action mode and slapped a security guard, who reportedly pinched his son Aarav’s derrière.
According to a leading daily, a security guard (Bhandari) from a Juhu building was tightly slapped by Akshay, and finally kicked out of his six-year old job on the actor’s behest.
Apparently, while Akshay and his wife Twinkle are resolute on the fact that the guard pinched Aarav’s buttocks, the guard claims to have saved Aarav’s life.
Buzz has it that the 35-year old security guard was quickly dismissed from his job while his security agency maintains that he was simply doing his duty and preventing Aarav from entering a meter room.
According to a dweller of The Grand Eastern Shores, Akshay and Aarav were visiting a family friend in the afternoon. While Akshay was busy conversing with some residents, Aarav wandered into meter room. Meanwhile, Bhandari spotted the eight-year-old kid walking down into the meter room and pulled him out just in time before he could touch any live wire.
However, a few minutes later, Akshay was found roughing up the security guard.
When enquired, Akshay said, “My son screamed when the incident happened. Let my wife elaborate.” “My son did not go into the meter room. That was simply Bhandari’s version. My son was climbing the stairs with his friend when Bhandari came behind them and pinched his buttocks. My son quickly brought it to my notice. At this point of time his friend said that Bhandari had done this to him too. Another child from their group also had a similar experience. Our son has been brave enough to talk about this to us. He has been a hero,” added Twinkle.
However, the matter did not end there as the very next day Akshay’s secretary contacted the secretary of the society and pushed him to sack the security guard. According to Commander Sitaram, GM at Hindustan Security Forces, the firm which had appointed the security guard, “Akshay’s secretary said Bhandari had allegedly misbehaved with his son. We were told that he had pinched his buttocks. Our investigations have confirmed that Bhandari did not hit or hurt the actor’s son. He pulled the child away from the danger zone and was just doing his duty.”
Yet, what went against Bhandari was the fact that he touched the boy in an attempt to save him, thereby violating the security company’s code of conduct. “Our men have strict instructions not to touch any child or woman, no matter what the circumstances are,” said Sitaram.
When contacted, a bitter Bhandari said “Main bhelpuri ka dhanda karta hoon. Aur iske baad mujhe kabhi phone mat karna.” Source

IPL Tean Kings XI Punjab co-owner and Bollywood star Preity Zinta said she was disappointed to lose all-rounder Irfan Pathan but glad to buy former Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist in the first session of auction for the fourth leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday.
Kings XI Punjab went all out to buy their former player Irfan Pathan but faced a fierce fight from Delhi Daredevils. Punjab was in the bidding till $1.8 million before Daredevils grabbed him for $1.9 million.
“Irfan is a wonderful player. He is a great swing bowler and a good batsman. He has a good temperament. He was my favourite player in the team and we wanted to have him. So, we are naturally disappointed, you don’t get every player you want to buy,” Preity said.
Kings XI Punjab, however, are drawing solace from the purchase of Gilchrist, who led Deccan Chargers to win the second edition of the league. They bought the retired Australian for $900,000.
“Gilchrist is the only reason I am smiling. Adam is an inspiring and fantastic player and he holds his nerves in a tough situation. I have not spoken to him but have exchanged text messages after we bought him,” she said. Source

Salman & Kangana’s Unique Relationship

Superstars Salman Khan and Kangna Ranaut seem to share a love-hate relationship. Early in 2010, it was widely reported that Kangana was the new favourite girl of Salman, as she was spotted at various parties and dos of the Khan clan.
There were rumours about the growing closeness between the two. They were reportedly also doing a movie together, the remake of MI SHIVAJI RAJE BHONSLE BOLTOY. Apparently, Salman had suggested Kangana’s name to the director.
However, in typical Salman style Kangana was suddenly out of favour, when it came to Salman. The movie was shelved and she was no longer invited for the family parties.
Just when, the whole Kangana-Salman chapter seemed to be put to rest, here comes another piece of news. When Kangana’s film, TANU WEDS MANU was up for promotion, Salman readily agreed to get Madhavan and Kangana, the lead pair of TANU WEDS MANU on the finale episode of Bigg Boss.
Insider sources claim, that were many big films, that were lining up to promote their films on the finale of Bigg Boss but Salman chose TANU WEDS MANU to appear on the finale.
Says Anand Rai, director of TANU WEDS MANU, “Yes, we will be going for the finale of Bigg Boss finale and it will be a great platform to promote the film.”
TANU WEDS MANU is a flavour film, and is very rooted. The trailer of the film has gotten a huge response. It releases on the 25th of February. Source

Sonakshi Sinha With Shahrukh & Salman

Hopes of seeing the Khans together in the future might possibly be restricted to this round of proximity. Dabboo Ratnani held a recent exhibition of the frozen images clicked by him and star attendance, expectedly was in no deficit.
The latest hot shot: Sonakshi Sinha zoomed into the DB exhibition looking rather dishy in her white ensemble. And in a dramatic twist that’s likely to soar up the photo value of the snap… she posed exactly in the middle… flanked by SRK on one hand and mentor Salman on the other!
Incidentally, SRK’s “patch up moves” on Karan Johar’s chat show have gotten the (star) goat of Salman. The explosive Khan is all set to lose his shirt some more, over SRK’s comments.
“If he really wanted us to patch up, he could have called me or come to my house,” rants Salman in a tabloid chat. “Expressing regret on a chat show makes no difference to me. Shah Rukh’s doing this so that I’m hounded by the media over his question for the next one year. I’ll not accept such drama.”
Senorita Sinha, meanwhile, can beam some more. Source
