Priyanka Chopra in a grunge look and Bipasha Basu in a gypsy zippered dress will feature in a hip-hop number in Ganesh Hegde’s latest album Lets Party.
The song, Mind Blowing, took four days to shoot at a studio in Mumbai. Audiences will see the two leading ladies dancing to the song, which is sung, styled and choreographed by Hegde himself.
“Both Bipasha and Priyanka epitomise all the qualities I’m raving about in the song. I was with each of them for a day and shooting was a breeze,” Hegde said in a statement.
Talking about the look and styling of the song, he said: “Bipasha sports a fringe, gypsy hoops and zippered dress. The fringe was Bipasha’s idea. She fell in love with the song instantly and wanted a look that was different from anything you’ve seen on screen before. She looks like a rockstar!

Big B Underlines The Connection Between Aarakshan & KBC

There have been few protests going around in Punjab before the release of Prakash Jha’s film ‘Aarakshan’ demanding the removal of a supposedly controversial line from the film which questions the concept of reservation.
“An actor is being shown in the promo saying “We don’t want reservation, we want merit”. Our main objection is with this dialogue. It seems the intention of the director is to oppose those who get reservation,” C L Chumbar, the president of ‘Anti-Aarakshan’ group said while addressing the media.
Since the film deals with a sensitive topic, such opposition is but obvious. Amitabh Bachchan has however made it clear how the film’s philosophy is a lot like KBC.
Bachchan wrote, “In many ways the philosophy of the film and that of KBC is quite similar. Given opportunity, even the lesser privileged shall prosper. Or at least have the capacity to prosper. The previous season of KBC showed to us that contestants from small town India, came up in large numbers and did what most metro town inhabitants could not achieve. The power of opportunity, the power of determination if the resources materialize, and the ultimate joy of disproving most others is really the triumph of the common man.
Who would have ever thought that a Muslim lady from a small town, conservative in its outlook, would one day sit on the hot seat and crack the jackpot of a crore of rupees ! But she did, as did many others from humble beginnings. And that really is the marvel. Those without means and facilities, those who have never had opportunity to even think of education, for them to suddenly find themselves in the higher echelons of society, speaks volumes for the democratic nature of our constitution and the adherence thereof.
The film ‘Aarakshan’ provides many sides of this issue and many other. And so when we have movie integration with KBC, this point stands out in great favour for the film.” Source

Ameesha Patel Is Confident Of ‘Chatur Singh Two Star’

Ameesha Patel’s comic sense is what that has led to the formation of ‘Chatur Singh Two Star’, her newest film where she is paired opposite Sanjay Dutt.
“This is one movie which is full of idiotic jokes. I am playing a complete goof here and trust me there was not a drop of glycerine that was needed since the only tears that were rolling down were those of laughter. The film is really funny and I sincerely believe that when people can like stuff like ‘Ready’, they would give a Thumbs-Up to ‘Chatur…’ too,” says Ameesha.
“And trust me, the character of ‘Chatur Singh’ that Sanju plays in the film is such that it would be a riot on screen,” promises Ameesha, “Though he is a complete idiot in the film, he thinks that he very smart. He plays a spy in the film and even though he is convinced within his own self that he is quite bright, the fact is that he is a complete buffoon.”
Also starring Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, Satish Kaushik and Suresh Menon in principal roles, ‘Chatur Singh Two Star’ is directed by Ajay Chandok and releases all over on 19th August. Source

Esha Deol Is Scared Of Katrina?

Katrina Kaif’s mighty standing in the industry has ensured that even veteran Hema Malini has taken notice of that. She has quietly moved away from competition by refusing to pitch her daughter Esha’s TELL ME OKKHUDA opposite MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN. Though earlier plans were for both these films to clash on 9th September, TELL ME O KKHUDA will now arrive three weeks later while MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN will keep its date.
“You can’t ignore the kind of pull that Katrina has been enjoying continuously for over half a decade now. It would have been foolhardy for anyone to take her heads on when everything she touches turns into gold. Though it was earlier thought that Esha could take her on due to all the hype surrounding her comeback, the plans were dropped just at the same time when Katrina’s ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA turned into such a huge success. It isn’t a mere coincidence but appears to be a well thought of decision,’ says a trade source who didn’t wish to be named. Source
