Kareena Kapoor’s Discomfort With Bold Scenes - Shocking But True

While it is exciting to see Kareena Kapoor joining the ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2' team, the talented beauty has showed some reservations regarding her role in the film.
The actress, who is playing Dawood’s lady love Mandakini, has strictly refused to go bold for the character.
Now as all know, Mandakini became sensation back in 1985 for the scene in ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ where she features sitting under a waterfall wearing a white flimsy saree. ‘OUATIM 2' said to be having a similar scene for introducing the female lead.
So taking this in account, Kareena said to have showed her discomfort in featuring in such titillating avatar and has even voiced her refusal to the director himself. Following this the two are now discussing over the issue, since Luthria is keen to bring forth Mandakini’s signature scene as it will only help people to connect with classic actress. But at the same time doesn’t want Kareena to go too bold in his film.
Sources say that the director, who is quite kicked to have Kareena in the project, might rework on the script to suit her sensibilities.
The shooting of ‘OUATIM 2' is expected to start from January and things are being readied for it in full swing. Source

Shahid Kapoor’s Love For His Stepmom

Seeing stepmom Supriya Pathak’s prominent contribution towards every department of Mausam, Shahid Kapoor has persuaded his producers to bill her as the associate director for the movie.
According to members of the film’s primary crew, Pathak has contributed enormously in shaping the film that is being directed by Pankaj Kapur.
Says a source, “It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the Shahid-Sonam Kapoor starrer couldn’t have been made without Supriyaji.
From the lighting to the script and dialogues, to making sure that the actors have their lines ready, to adjusting their clothes, to making sure Pankaj has his medicines and meals on time, she has been the driving-force of the film.”
Producer Sheetal Talwar reluctantly admits, “Yes, we are thinking of something on those lines (to bill Pathak as associate director).”

Ranbir Kapoor’s Rockstar Gets Further Delayed

It looks like the glam dream of seeing the three gen-X superstars Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan locked in a battle to the finish would remain just a fantasy. The expected clash on September 9th this year between Shahid’s Mausam, Ranbir’s Rockstar and Imran’s Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is not happening!
Though official sources claim otherwise, director Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar has been moved forward to November.
There seems to be no limit to the delays being caused in the release of Rockstar. Though officially the latest release date is September 9th, there is no doubt the film has been secretly shifted to November and it looks like there are chances of further delays.
In fact a source very close to the project confirms Rockstar has been shifted to November.
“For now we’ve shifted to November. But this again is not sure. We could move further ahead,” he says.
But producers Eros International maintain the status quo on the release.
Says Ram Mirchandani of Eros: “As of now we are not in a position to comment on whether the release date has been shifted from Sep 9. As soon as we get a clearer picture we will let you know.”
The latest buzz is that Rockstar may not be released this year at all. It could now be released at the beginning of 2012. The main reason for the delay is said to be the music of the film.
Says the source: “A.R. Rahman has still to do a couple of tunes and the full background music. However, Imtiaz is really happy with the music that Rahman has done so far. In fact, Imtiaz knows the musical film is being transported to another level, thanks to Rahman’s music.
The delay in the release is getting too expensive, he adds.
“The delay is proving expensive to the film’s producers Eros International and Shree Ashtavinayak. It’s also Nargis Fakhri’s debut film. And she’s getting anxious to sign other films. She’s flooded with offers. But as per her contract, she can’t sign any other film until ‘Rock Star’ releases,” he says.
The biggest sufferer is Anurag Basu and his producer UTV, whose dates for Ranbir Kapoor in Barfi keep getting allotted to Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar.
With Rockstar songs yet to be delivered, it looks like Basu’s Barfi may yet have to suffer some more date-adjustment hassles. Source

Kareena Kapoor’s Film Has been Delayed Because Of Shahrukh’s Don 2

DHRUV, which would be starring Kareena Kapoor and Chitrangada Singh in principle roles along with Farhan Akhtar, has been further delayed. What has further aggravated the situation is Shahrukh Khan’s DON 2 which is a priority for the production house.
“Shahrukh Khan would be seen in DON 2 in December this year. Now it is the biggest film ever that has been produced (along with Riteish Sidhwani) and directed by Farhan Akhtar. The trouble though is that DHRUV too is a Farhan Akhtar film. Not just that, he is also the central protagonist there in the capacity of an actor,” informs a trade insider who is keeping tabs on the latest developments.
All of this means that the production team’s entire concentration is currently on DON 2 due to which DHRUV (to be directed by Sudhir Mishra) stays to be on hold.
Informs a source, “For Shahrukh Khan, DON 2 is a major project. Other than RA. ONE which is his own production, he has also taken the responsibility of keeping the franchise running. It is a loaded action entertainer with extensive effort required to be put into post production. Farhan and others are totally neck deep into DON 2 which means there is no time available for DHRUV to kick start.”
What also stays on to be a fact is that there are two more high profile films that are currently being made by Farhan Akhtar and Riteish Sidhwani - ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA (with Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif) and yet untitled film with Aamir Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor. Due to that Sudhir’s film has to wait for a while.
“That’s okay, such things happen during film making. We will start DHRUV post the release of DON 2?, Sudhir keeps a brave face here, “In any case, I am planning for another film in the interim.”
One hopes this DHRUV doesn’t loose itself in the cosmic battle of stars! Source

Madhuri Dixit To Play Sonam Kapoor’s Mom ?

If what we hear is true, Madhuri Dixit may soon playing the role of Sonam Kapoor’s mother in Anil Kapoor’s remake of the Hollywood film, Freaky Friday.
The role was previously offered to Shabhana Azmi, Rekha and Kirron Kher who had to turn it down due to date clashes. Since Anil has said that he would like to work with his former leading lady again, he felt that Madhuri suited the role perfectly. Although she likes the script, we are still waiting for confirmation on her part in the film which revolves around a mother and daughter who magically swap roles for a day.
Could this be Madhuri’s comeback from her previous comeback, Aaja Nachle?
Her secretary and previous manager, Rakesh Nath has said, “She has got four-five very good offers. She will definitely do another film soon, but this time we have to be very careful. I’ve worked with other actresses, but Madhuriji is Madhuriji.” However, we do know she is meeting him since she tweeted, “Meeting with Anil Kapoor today. Lets see what happens….”
When asked about his upcoming venture, Anil said, “It’s too early to comment on any of my new projects, but I would love to work with Madhuri in any capacity at any stage.” Source

Kareena Kapoor’s Report Card - Pass Or Fail?

The beautiful and sizzling Kareena Kapoor has indeed come a long way from the time of her debut film Refugee exactly a decade ago. This young and happening star has always swept audiences off their feet with her different roles in every movie that she has worked.
Kareena has the penchant for portraying the most high profile characters with equal panache and style as with her role as the simple village belle which she had portrayed in her debut film.
Kareena’s popularity amongst all age groups of audiences is perhaps her highest point as an achiever in the film industry and the fact that her portrayal of the vivacious Poo in Kabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham had everyone treating her like a diva was somewhat like a great achievement for the budding star.
However, the path breaking role of the die hard go-getter in Jab We Met made her the ultimate dream star of all directors and film makers, to say nothing of her over whelmed fans. She rocked in the role of a budding spectacled doctor in 3 Idiots, zooming around on a bike too! Kareena is fast turning into the babe with the magic touch as most of the films she does are hits, if not super hits.
Well, the recently released Golmaal 3 has again proved that she is great in the role of a tom boy too, where her co-stars were mostly male who were all also quite well established in their own niche in the world of films. Kareena Kapoor is indeed one of the most versatile actresses of Bollywood today.
Let’s hope she does better and reaches greater heights with her forth coming movies- RA.ONE and Agent Vinod! Source

Imran Khan Is Ranbir Kapoor’s Better Half

“I don’t think Ranbir is dating anyone,” Imran Khan told Karan Johar on this week’s episode of Koffee with Karan. In fact, he went on to say that he doesn’t believe Ranbir Kapoor is foolish enough to date Salman Khan’s girlfriend. Both actors and friends graced the couch and made for a fun-filled episode.
After they gushed over each other and shared a staged kiss or two, they spoke openly about their personal lives. Imran explained his relationship and upcoming marriage with Avantika Malik, his girlfriend of eight years while Ranbir honestly confessed his friendship with Katrina Kaif (no, they are not dating, he added numerous times), his equation with ex-girlfriend Deepika Padukone and his explanation for his nonstop link ups with his female costars.
They both expressed their desire to be a part of Dostana 3 and mimicked Abhishek Bachchan’s “I’ll do anything for the hamper” showdown prior to playing Karan’s rapid fire round. Both actors shed their inhibitions as they answered candidly and competed as friends to win the renowned hamper. Imran poked big time fun at his buddy and Ranbir played along as they both put Sonam pretty low on all rankings including her acting skills and sex appeal.
Next week, Karan will sit down with so-called rivals Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone as they speak about the boys and their contention. Source
