Our sources reveal that Kareena Kapoor has been roped in for the sequel of ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai’. The actress is said to share the screen space with Akshay Kumar who plays the protagonist in the second version of the blockbuster movie.
Earlier speculations were rife that Sonakshi Sinha is being considered to play opposite Akshay. Then top names like Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra were also thrown about.

Kareena and Akshay have already worked together in movies like ‘Aitraaz’, ‘Bewafaa’ ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ as a pair besides few others. In OUATIM 2, let’s see how their chemistry works against the backdrop of underworld. Source

Salman Khan In The Sequel Of No Entry

Ready is a success story and en route to be a huge accumulator at the box office. While for Salman Khan this is his second big money spinner in a row after Dabangg, for director Anees Bazmee the film’s success has helped in leaving behind the average run of Thank You and the poor show of No Problem. The actor and director are now all set to pair up again with No Entry Mein Entry.
“Though there were talks of differences between Salman and Anees, especially towards the later stage of the filming of Ready, none of it is impacting their professional relationship. They were committed to make the sequel of No Entry and now that Ready has worked in a big way, they are now firming up plans to bring the film on floors. It would be called No Entry Mein Entry”, informs a trade source.
It would be interesting to see whether Salman would be able to allocate dates for No Entry Mein Entry. After all he is currently busy shooting for Bodyguard and would soon be travelling across the globe for Ek Tha Tiger.
Adds another industry observer, “This is not all as he has family engagements to take care of as well. He is committed to start (tentatively titled) Sher Khan with Sohail Khan. Then there is also Dabangg with Arbaaz Khan in the pipeline. His calendar is choc-o-block.”
Anees Bazmee is undeterred though and already has a Plan B in place. Though he confirms that No Entry Mein Entry with Salman would indeed happen, he also adds that he is yet to pick and choose between No Entry Mein Entry and Hera Pheri 4 which has been commissioned to him.
“The final call is yet to be taken”, says Bazmee who is happy about being back in the big money business with Ready doing bumper business all over, “It could be either No Entry Mein Entry or Hera Pheri 4, the film I am committed to do for Firoz Nadiadwala.”
He promises though that this time around he would be cautious before starting any of the two films. “Even if everything is in place and star dates are available, I am sure I won’t be doing both films together. I have tried that earlier with Thank You and Ready and understand that it is an extremely difficult task. I would be doing only one film at a time.”
Interestingly, Hera Pheri 4 won’t feature either of the three original cast members - Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty or Paresh Rawal. Buzz in the air is that Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan and Nana Patekar would be coming in as replacement though Bazmee refuses to confirm as of now. Source

Salman Khan’s Dabangg Sequel Is On A Roll

After an acrimonious fallout, Salman Khan and Abhinav Kashyap have patched up for good. The actor-director duo of 2010’s biggest hit ‘Dabangg’ had fallen apart after Abhinav quoted an outrageous fee to direct his next film.
However, after being snubbed by top producers for his astounding demands, Abhinav has made his peace with the Khan brothers and is now busy laying down detailed plans to direct a sequel to ‘Dabangg’.
Confirming the news of fallout, a source told a daily, “Abhinav is a good director, but the success of the film may have gone to his head. However, the fallout is a thing of the past and it will only be fitting if Abhinav directs the sequel.”
According to reports, Kashyap peeved a lot of producers by making astonishing demands. “He demanded more than Rs 10 crore from Eros International while negotiating for a film which did not materialise for obvious reasons. Kashyap next had a meeting with PVR Pictures. There too he demanded something between Rs 15 and 18 crore”, adds the source.
“When Salman learnt about Kashyap`s pricey ways, he responded with putting him off his radar,” says the source.
Nevertheless, Abhinav has now cleared the air with Salman. “We have Kashyap`s dates in place, which were finalised only last week. Both Salman and Arbaaz love Abhinav. Let`s not get into what went wrong, but look forward to a killer sequel,” adds the source. Source

A Sequel Of Toonpur Is On The Cards

If you, for once thought that Bollywood is going through the sequel season, you will be surprised with the sudden decision coming from Ajay Devgn. No, the actor isn’t talking about his Golmaal sequel or as you’d call it G4. When we recently interviewed Ajay on his views regarding Toonpur Ka Superhero, he came up with a statement that went, “Yes, if Toonpur Ka Superhero does well at the box office then we might be looking at a sequel or try and be a part of yet another animation film.”
As far as Toonpur is concerned, Devgn quotes, “We are so busy making live action films but whenever we see Hollywood animation films, we are taken by a surprise. However, when our own industry makes it, we don’t. I don’t understand why. Yes, I agree that when Kirit came up to me with the idea, I was hesitant initially because that’s never happened here. But now I can confidently say that you can compare Toonpur with any Hollywood animation film.”
But more than the actor talking about his own film, he is surprised with the kids’ reaction after the first special screening kept for them. Ajay comments, “Kids just love the film. They are laughing and are connecting to it in so many ways. It’s the first time when they are all so glued on to one place and even parents love that fact (laughs). According to the kids, it is the best Indian film they’ve seen.”
An ardent fan of Tom and Jerry cartoons, Ajay got concerned when we asked him whether he actually did get some honest feedback from his own daughter Nysa on Toonpur. He said, “That’s a good question. I haven’t really had a word with Nysa on Toonpur except the fact that she is really eager to show it to her friends. Nysa loves watching cartoons and animation films and recently saw Despicable Me and she loved it. But it’s difficult to predict what a kid likes in an animation film. Their patience level is to be tested a lot. In that way, animation films have a very unpredictable audience. I myself don’t know what I like in an animation film but something gets me attracted to them.”
Whatever you say Mr. Ajay Devgn, I’m sure you know the best and we know too how unpredictable our Box Office is getting with each passing day. But here’s wishing you and your film a good score at the ticket window and looking at your personal Box Office record for 2010, we really don’t have our doubts. Source
