So, when the word is doing rounds that the Bong beauty is being considered for a sizzling item in director Sajid Khan’s Housefull 2, Rani keeps her lips tight about it. However, she has already expressed her desire to doing item songs as she hasn’t done any in her career so far. Rani says she likes the energy and verve of the items songs. Her training as an Odissi dancer makes it easy for her to groove on fast tracks.
As of now, Rani has all her hopes focused on Reema Kagti’s next film where she plays a sex worker and stars along with Aamir Khan.

Finally, Sonakshi Sinha gets a chance to show her dance moves on-screen

Her debut ‘Dabangg’ was a big hit, but unfortunately most of the limelight was hogged in by Malaika Arora Khan with her item number’ Munni Badnaam Hui’. Talking about Sonakshi Sinha, the girl had made her desire to groove on an item number very clear and sure enough, we will now have Sonakshi displaying her dancing skills and her oomph factor in a special song in her forthcoming ‘Joker’. The song is titled’ Dance Karle English Mein, Nach Le Hindi Mein’ and has lyrics in ten languages.

What does Om Puri have to say about ‘Mallika Sharafat’?

Mallika Sherawat is known not only for her sex appeal but also for a rather big mouth. However, there is one person who swears to the innocence and simplicity for our sex kitten and he is none other than the very talented actor Om Puri.
When Om Puri got an opportunity to work with Sherawat, he was rather apprehensive because of Mallika is known for her attitude and the habit of throwing tantrums on the sets of her films.
However, when Om Puri met and shot a song with Mallika recently, he discovered that the actual Mallika was just the very opposite of her image. He describes her as a very “down to earth” and “innocent” person. The two bonded well hailing from neighbouring states, Mallika from Haryana and Puri from Punjab.

Vivek Oberoi to display his greyer shades in ‘Krissh 2′

Vivek Oberoi has not had much happening in his career lately apart from his last ‘Rakhta Charitra’, but if reports are to be believed, he is about to get one of the most challenging roles of his life, the villain in the sequel to ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ and ‘Krissh’.
There have already been a lot of rumors about the cast of this role right from Ajay Devgan to Shah Rukh Khan and even Rana Daggubati, but Vivek Oberoi has finally bagged the role.
As for the direction part, since Rakesh Roshan has not directed a single film in the last five years, he wanted to have an outside director and had even approached Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra to direct the film. At last, he decided to take the reins of direction in his hands. For the negative role, he wanted someone ultra-cool, stylish with gray shades. The villain in the film is witty, smart, edgy and somewhat evil- like the joker in the Batman series, and Vivek fits in the requirements perfectly. The film is scheduled to go on the floors in October this year and Vivek is yet to sign on the dotted lines.

Born on November 9, 1984 in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad to Veena Rohatgi and Shashank Rohatgi, small time actress Payal Rohatgi shot to fame only after her stint in the reality show Big Boss. Brought up in a middle class family in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Payal has been struggling for long to gain a foothold in the film industry but could not attain much besides some small budget B-grade films.
However, she has been in news off and on due to her ugly spats with film makers. Recently, director Sudhir Mishra alleged that he had received a number of intimidating and threatening text messages from the actress a few days ago. Taking a step further he has filed a complaint to the police against Payal Rohatgi for sending threatening messages to him.
Sometime back, Payal also had a ugly war of words with filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee when she had accused Dibakar of asking her to lift her shirt on the pretext of calling her fat. Payal said that when she refused his advances, she was denied the role she had earlier worked so hard for.
Payal had commented, “I think Dibakar is hallucinating that I am disturbed. He is the one who goes to a shrink to ask why he can’t be monogamous… no revertal, no reply from a man who’d earlier call me 20 times a month.”
It is high time now that the girl concentrates on her career than trying to attain cheap publicity with these stints!!

If you have Minissha Lamba flaunting her assets in beachwear, you can definitely not blame anyone if they gather in to enjoy a treat for their eyes. So, when the hottie who had created stirs with her two piece photo shoot for ‘Maxim’ was shooting for a popular men’s magazine in a beachwear in Goa’s most loved beach Baga beach, onlookers gathered in crowds and some even started clicking her on their cell phones.
Unable to handle the huge crowd, the unit immediately shifted to another, more secluded, Agonda beach which is one of the virgin beaches of Goa, where Minissha could carry on with the shoot in a relaxed manner. However, the unit had to manage with wastage of one complete day out of three scheduled days of the shoot.
Minissha Lamba is all in for water sports and the shoots were taken under water & showing her surfing. “I had a fantabulous time shooting for the cover with the team especially with the photographer Colston Julian as he is a dear friend of mine. The shoot was not a difficult task for me as I am a national level swimmer.

John Abraham to host the Indian version of ‘Survivor’?

While most of the Bollywood biggies have been seen on reality shows, Bollywood hunk John Abraham has not got this opportunity so far. However, the wait seems to be finally over now because, Abraham has reportedly been approached to host the Indian version of the popular international reality show, ‘Survivor’.

Both Ajay and Arjun have already appeared on TV reality shows earlier, the former as the judge of ‘Rock n Roll Family, and the latter as the judge for ‘Nach Baliye 4’. Among all three, John seems to be the strongest contender. The show is likely to go on air in a couple of months.

Neil Nitin Mukesh to romance Deepika or Sonam?

Unlike most other debutant actors, when Neil Nitin Mukesh stepped into the tinsel town he did not do it with a romantic comedy. He has done a wide genre of films right from action, thrillers to dramas, but not a full-toos romantic comedy. Most of his roles be it Johnny Gaddar, New York or Lafangey Parindey have had serious over tones.
If sources are to be believed and if things go right, Neil will get to do his first romantic comedy with Kunal Kohli who is considering either Deepika or Sonam as the leads opposite him. Deepika has already done ‘Lafangey Parindey’ with Neil but his pairing with Sonam (if it does happen) would be the first one.
It may be mentioned here that while Neil has showed great acting skills with serious roles, in real life he has quite an amazing sense of humor and keeps his co-stars on the sets roaring with laughter with his wit and humor.

The two enjoyed dancing with each other at Karan Johar’s party. Then, Anoushka invited Ranbir Kapoor for a party she held for a select group of friends at her home. They were spotted together yet again when they were out for dinner with a bunch of friends which also included Ranveer and Shahid Kapoor. Later, they were all seen leaving in the same car. While Ranveer sat next to the driver, Ranbir and Anushka were cosying up to each other in the backseat, next to Shahid.
So, now when Ranbir is set to star in good friend Ayan Mukherjee’s next film ( the first one being the very successful ‘Wake Up Sid’), he is reported to be pressing Ayan to rope in Anushka Sharma as his co-star which happens to be the role is of a spirited girl who’s confident and self assured. Anushka fits the bill perfectly, or so Ranbir feels. However, Deepika Padukone was Ayan’s choice in the first place. Whether or not, Ayan pairs Ranbir with Anoushka will be decided once the script is complete, but the fire has already begun, is surely felt by all!!

I’m happy to be the Brand Ambassador of Provogue as I believe I can bring to the brand what they’re looking for – confidence, youth & spunk”.
Sonakshi looked young and vibrant with her button down dress shirt with full sleeves that she had folded to her elbows. The pleated short had folded cuffs. She accessorized with Grey print heels with rosette top, slim black leather belt with brass buckle, oversized hoop earrings, and Ray Ban aviator sunglasses.

Shy Imran Khan gets seduced by sexy Soniya Mehra in a bathroom cubicle!!

Imran Khan was in a fix when he had to shoot a scene in which he was to be seduced by his co-star Soniya Mehra in a bathroom cubicle for Shakun Batra’s ‘Short Term Shaadi’. This was Imran’s first scene of its kind and it took some convincing and explanation from producer Karan Johar and director Batra to prepare him for the scene which was shot on sets.
In the film, Imran plays an obsessive-compulsive architect who wants everything in perfection. In this particular scene, Imran and Soniya’s character meet on a date and Soniya, wearing a short outfit, follows him to the men’s loo, even into the cubicle he is in. She pushes him against the wall, trying to undress him, licking and kissing him at the same time. However, the more she tries to get it on, the more he freaks out. Finally, he turns on the shower, aiming it at her. A drenched Soniya looks at him, stunned.
Thus, the scene which starts with a naughty mood takes a comical ending!!
