Item numbers in Sunny Deol
movie ?
Dance director Ahmed Khan, who has turned to direction with Lakeer, has two item numbers in the movie. A. R. Rahman who scores the music has already recorded the songs, one of which has been rendered by Daler Mehndi, and the other by the pop group Viva. It will be interesting to see how Ahmed makes the heroes of his debut film dance because none of the four lead men are very fond of dancing. Lakeer stars Sunny Deol, Sunil Shetty, John Abraham and Sohail Khan. |

Roshan’s debut Kaho Na Pyaar Hai and his most successful film to
date is making waves again. The film, which has “broken” many
records, is now in the Limca Book of Records for the most number of
awards won by a Bollywood film. At a staggering 102 awards, it will
surely take a long time for any Bollywood film to come close to
beating this record. Sure this brings a huge smile to Rakesh
Roshan’s face. 
Mandira
Bedi will be back soon in hubby Raj Kaushal’s film Shaadi Ke
Laddoo. The star commentator at the World Cup, who received
bouquets and brickbats for her dressing and performance, was last
seen in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Her small screen debut
began with Shanti, where she playes the reporter and now is
being seen in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Back to
Shaadi? The film has two male leads Sanjay Suri and Aashish
Chowdhury and according to Mandira, Shaadi... is a totally
fun film sans slapstick comedy. Though she is being offered many
roles in television soaps as well as films, she wants to sit back
and enjoy her stardom. "It’s important to realise your priorities:
being a happy and good human being matters more. Stardom is
temporary, after all," she says. 
Two
‘item’ numbers and that too in a Sunny Deol movie is something which
is difficult to believe, but if the director is also a choreographer
it is not impossible. 
If
you had written off Madhuri Dixit after her marriage, its time you
reconsidered your stand. After a hiatus of over a year, Madhuri is
all set to make a comeback. If reports are to be believed, Madhuri
will play the lead role in Zoya Akhtar’s film Nargis, that
tells the story of a young man falling in love with an older woman
played by Madhuri. This will be Zoya’s directorial debut. Daughter
of the legendary writer Javed Akhtar and sister of Dil Chahta Hai
maker Farhaan, Zoya had worked as assistant director on Dil
Chahta Hai and is all set to carve an identity of her own.
According to Madhuri’s secretary Rikku nothing has been confirmed
yet but negotiations are in an advanced stage. Madhuri is also
slated to play the lead in a film each by Yash Chopra and Rajkumar
Santoshi. 
Kareena
has finally learnt the importance of modesty... though the babe has
earned very good reviews for Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon, she
was modestly personified at the press conference of Sooraj
Barjatya’s mega love drama. Kareena was as down-to-earth as perhaps
any teenaged girl in the neighbourhood. Clad in a simple beige
shalwar-kameez, with her silky tresses tied tight in a pony-tail,
the girl had minimal make-up. Also, she was as nervous as a school
girl on stage, as she walked up to take her chair. And when, the
song Chali aayee chali aayee was being shown for the press,
the girl was seen humming along the lines happily. Glued next to
would-have-been jija, Abhishek Bachchan, Kareena was all
comfort with her first on-screen lover. Keeping a low-profile, as
the director and the handsome heroes hogged the limelight, Kareena’s
was a mellow presence
Bollywood
has finally beckoned Vinod Khanna’s elder son, Rahul Khanna. The
suave actor has so far acted only in Deepa Mehta’s crossover films
like 1947, Earth and Bollywood Hollywood. His debut in Bollywood is
to be directed by Vikram Bhatt. The film will also star Arjun Rampal
and John Abraham in parallel leads. Rahul Khanna had turned down
many an offer in Hindi filmdom before finalising the one with Vikram
Bhatt. It is learnt that Khanna also said no to Pooja Bhatt’s
directorial debut, Paap. Khanna, who is a favourite with Deepa
Mehta, also features in her newly announced project, which has
Kareena Kapoor as the female lead.
