Veteran actor Rajesh Khanna, who passed away on July 18, 2012, has left a farewell message to all his fans just like his movie ‘Anand’, where his character leaves a last note for Babumoshai (Amitabh Bachchan) before passing away.

In the recorded message the actor poured out his heart and spoke about the journey and thanked his fans for all their love and support through out the years.

The recorded message is as follows –

“Mere pyaare dosto, bhaiyo aur beheno nostalgia mein rehene ki aadat nahi hai mujhe. Hamesha bhavishya ke baare mein hi sochna padtaa hain jo din guzar gaya hai, beet gaya hai, uska kya sochna lekin jab jaane pehchane chehre anjaan se ek mehfil mein milte hai toh yaadein wapas tazaa ho jati hai. (I don’t have a habit of dwelling in the past and living with nostalgia...but looking forward for a bright future as what is gone is gone and there is no point thinking of it. But when we meet known faces in an unknown place then we recollect old memories).”

The first look poster of the highly anticipated Kareena Kapoor movie ‘Heroine’ has finally been released.

Two contrasting posters of the movie have been released, which have garnered good response from the audience.

After the huge success of ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’, the makers have decided to go ahead and make a sequel for the movie. The sequel will retain the same male cast of Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Dharmendra as the original but female cast is still to be decided.

Previously there were rumors that actress Preity Zinta has been approached to play the female lead. But of late there have been rumors that Katrina Kaif has been approached to play the female lead opposite Bobby Deol.

But source close to the movie denied the rumors and said that neither Preity nor Katrina have been approached as both the actresses are very busy. Preity Zinta is busy with her maiden production venture ‘Ishkq in Paris’, while Katrina Kaif’s dates are booked till next year.

“Neither Preity nor Katrina has been approached for the film. The role of the female actors in the film is not much, so it doesn’t require big names. We are clueless about who is spreading these rumors,” the source said.

Salman Khan’s next movie ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is all set to release on August 15 this year. But shooting for the movie was anything but cake walk to the star, who suffered with Trigeminal Neuralgia, a facial nerve disorder and had to undergo surgery to get rid of the excruciating pain.

The actor, who underwent surgery last year to correct his nervous disorder, took a few days rest before he returned to the shooting of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, where the cold only increased his pain. But the actor said that as an actor it was his job to work through the pain.

“In spite of all the nerve problems and the aneurism and the traveling and cold and the pain and all that stuff, eventually it's what you show on screen. You can't put subtitles saying - 'Here the actor was unwell' or 'here was a backache' or 'here the cold' led to pain or 'a headache happened'! You can't say all that,” said Salman Khan to IANS.

Little did any know that before Rajesh Khanna’s health took a toll on him and he passed away, he was shooting for a movie titled ‘Riyasat’ directed and produced by Ashok Tyagi.

Even though few portions of the movie till remain to be shot, the director has decided to release the movie a day before Rajesh Khanna’s birthday on December 29.

“I wouldn't say Mr. Khanna left my film incomplete. He shot most portions, the ones I wanted. But yes, we were tempted to shoot more. And if his health permitted, we would surely have shot all of it. However, the audience won't realize that portions are missing,” said director Tyagi to TOI.

Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter, actress Sonakshi Sinha said that her father, who underwent a bypass surgery Monday, was now doing fine.

Shatrughan Sinha was admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital after he complained of breathlessness. The actor has now been shifted from ICU into a private room.

Sonakshi Sinha, who is currently busy promoting her upcoming movie ‘Joker’, said that the promotions were getting affected and that her Dad would be proud of her.

“The promotions are not getting affected in any way; in fact, they are going on very smoothly. My dad will be proud of our good work. He is fine, that is all I can say,” she said to IANS.

The actress, whose two movies ‘Dabangg’ and ‘Rowdy Rathore’ ended up being blockbuster hits and grosses over 100 Crores at the box-office, said that she chose to be a part of ‘Joker’ movie due to its uniqueness.

Anita Adavani, Rajesh Khanna’s live-in partner of 10 years, has been accused of standing in between the wishes of Khanna family to convert Kaka’s home ‘Aashirwad’ into a museum.

But in a recent interview with a daily Anita Adavani said that it was in fact her idea of converting the home into a museum.

“It was my idea to turn it into a museum for Kaka,” she said.

“I want Aashirwad to be made a museum. The allegations against me are wrong; I have no greed or interest in this property. This property should go to the people of the country and be made a museum,” she added.

She also questioned where Kaka’s family was when he needed them the most.

People say that quitting smoking and drinking are few of the hardest things to ever do. But actor Salman Khan has managed to kick off both the habits after his health scare last year.

“Salman bhai is in his prime. He is enjoying success like never before and has become extremely disciplined. After his health scare around a year back due to trigeminal neuralgia (nerve pain), Salman does not want to hamper the recovery process any more. That's why he decided that he would quit smoking and drinking,” said a source to a daily.

“Salman is also making sure that he finishes his films as per schedule and is always present on the sets on time. He is also taking keen interest in every aspect of the film making including the promotions which he never did earlier,” the source added.

Pooja Bhatt’s next directorial venture ‘Jism 2’ has been passed by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with an ‘A’ certificate. But the director isn’t fazed by this as she says that the movie caters ‘mature’ audience.

“I don’t wish it to be an elite product. I am catering the man on the streets and women who understand `the erotica`. It is an erotic sensual thriller...,” she said to IANS.

The director said that she never wanted to get anything other than an ‘A’ certificate as she doesn’t want kids watching it.

“We applied for an `A` because I am very clear that I want an `A` and not a `U/A`. I am not making the film for children; it’s an adult film for adult sensibilities. The adult audience is a sizeable number and it is big enough for my film,” she said.

Pooja Bhatt even spoke about the cuts advised by the board.

Veteran actress Mumtaz, who has worked in 10 films with Rajesh Khanna, said that they two were ‘very close’ and even though many found Rajesh Khanna to be an introvert he was very friendly with her.

The veteran said that when they met in Mumbai last month they discusses about their respective cancer battles.

“He told me that I am a strong person, and that he knew what I had gone through, the chemotherapy sessions. He said he did not feel hungry, and we joked that when lots of food was ordered for him, it was later enjoyed by all, except him,” she said to PTI.

The actress, who has worked with Rajesh Khanna in movies like 'Aap Ki Kasam', 'Roti', 'Apna Desh' and 'Sachcha Jhootha', said that she always had a great time working with him.

The actress remembered the time Rajesh Khanna carried her for a whole week while shooting for ‘Roti’ movie.
