Added by harini on Jun 27, 2011

The last movie that Yash Chopra directed was Veer-Zaara, way back in the year 2004. The legendary director of movies like Lamhe, Silsila, and Dil Toh Pagal Hai etc… is all set to break his 7 year long hiatus and get back behind the camera.

The director is set to direct a yet unnamed movie which will star Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. The music score will be by A R Rahman and the lyrics will be penned by Gulzar.

This will be the first time that Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif will be paired up on screen. The jodi of Anushka and Shah Rukh has already been seen in the movie ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’.

On his obvious choice of Shah Rukh for the lead, the director said, “Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shah Rukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own”.

However, the director isn’t sure how his audience will reach to the movie.

"It's been seven years since I directed Veer-Zaara and as I begin work on my new film, I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today's youth to listen to me?” said Chopra.

Aamir and his production company are much bigger than me and my AB Corp

Added by harini on Jun 26, 2011

Come July 1st, two of the Bollywood’s biggest stars will compete with each other at box office. Two of the most awaited movies of the season ‘Delhi Belly’ and ‘Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap’ will release on July 1st.

It is inevitably the comparisons between the two movies will be drawn. But Big B in his blog at bigadda.com has requested people not to compare the two films.

“Aamir and his production company are much bigger than me and my AB Corp, in commercial standing. We are a small budgeted film of Rs.10 crore, from a group of artists that do not compare equally with the cast and starring of 'Delhi Belly'," wrote ever modest Amitabh Bachchan.

"They have spent Rs.35 crore on their film. That would show the intensity of their investment. They would have to do a very large business to recover their money and they will -- looking at the past record and the present standing that they have," added the star.

"We cannot be compared to them... they are bigger than us... and shall do bigger … leave it at that… if our film is liked, it will fetch dividends, if not, it will not... simple and straight. We are not going to be able to make a rupee more by pulling down another. Each of us shall have our own merits and demerits, and so be it," he concluded.

Both the movies has already garnered a positive response from the audience. It wont be a surprise if both these movies go on to become a success.

A very angry Mahesh Bhatt said, “I was angry with Mukesh and the production team. We have a premium product in Murder 2, which is now a franchise. The marketing should reach its peak in the last few days, but now Jacqueline has gone away. The film has a very high erotic content and hence it is important that the female lead of your film is there on every platform with you towards the end, during the promotional phase right before the audience sees it."

Guess what is Aamir Khan’s latest ambition? Its to become the best ‘Item Boy’ of all time. Yes, you have heard it right. After 2 decades of brilliant acting and being called ‘one of the best actors ever’, Aamir Khan now wants to conquer the ‘Item Boy’ world.

"I want to be the number one item boy of the industry," said Aamir Khan who recently shot for his first item song ‘I love you, like I hate you’ for his home production movie Delhi Belly.

"I think item girls ko hataana hoga, ek tough fight hogi.. Par item boys will rock all the way. (I feel the time of item girls is over and they face some serious competition)”, added the actor.

"The recent questioning from media, whether I am doing a song sequence in the film or not? Such things made me ponder. So, I must say that media has inspired me to do the item number," said the actor.

The actor said that the song was a tribute to the 80’s disco theme.

"It's a tribute to the 1980's discos. My hair-do is inspired by Amitabhji and I sport chest hair, just like Anil Kapoorji. The dance moves are similar to Mithunda as I am a big fan of him. And my attire will be a mix of Govinda, Amitabhji and other actors from that time," he said.
