John going hot
He has six movies in hand, but John Abraham has his feet firmly planted on terra firma. But talk about his latest movie — Vikram Bhatt’s Saaya — and the man exudes excitement. ‘‘Saaya deals with loss, emotions and internal love,’’ explains John. ‘‘Contrary to what most people believe, the basic idea behind Saaya is not to scare the audience, but to drive home the message that one might lose someone, but eternal love lives forever.’’ There is an air of confidence in the voice. And it all began with Jism. Still basking in the success of his first major hit, John makes no secret of the fact that Jism has worked wonders for his celluloid career. ‘‘By God’s grace, I have managed a positive response, but this is not to say that I am not planning to go a step further with Saaya,’’ he says ‘‘I expect Saaya to do well, not because I feature in the film, but because it is a sensible product. I play a young Delhi-based doctor in the film.’’ Which brings us to his new heroine Tara Sharma. ‘‘She was very cooperative on the sets and is just brilliant as an actress. I certainly enjoyed working with her.’’ The Mr Cool Guy of modelling has become hot property on the film circuit. Not least of all because acceptance by the audience has earned him a string of assignments. ‘‘Coming up are Aitbaar with Amitabh Bachchan and Bipasha Basu; Ahmed Khan’s untitled film with Sunny Deol and Sunil Shetty; and Pooja Bhatt’s Paap,’’ he informs. ‘‘I love doing all kinds of roles — roles which both I and the audience can identify with.’’ |
Here’s
another piece of news which has just trickled in. It seems that the
whole world is gunning for Amisha Patel. If certain rumours are to
be believed, the Patel girl has rubbed quite a few people up the
wrong way. First an ad filmmaker, A. H Siddiqui went public with his
allegations that working with Amisha Patel was his worst nightmare.
Now there are rumours that Amisha demanded a hefty amount from Rahul
Rawail for his film Jo Bole So Nihaal. As a result, Rawail dropped
her like a hot potato. We hope it’s just another bit of gossip!
Uday
Chopra finds himself in the midst of controversy. Uday’s film,
Supari, which released recently, stars Rahul Dev, Akash Saigal and
Nandita Das. Apparently, if rumour is to be believed, quite a few
scenes with the other actors have been cut and it now looks like an
Uday Chopra movie all the way. But the actors and director deny any
such thing was done. Whom to believe? 
Being
the daughter of a Punjabi father and a Catholic mother, Lara Dutta
was quite taken aback when certain people began claiming that she
had changed her religion in order to get a flat in Bandra’s Catholic
Society. The lady, who has just delivered a hit in Andaaz, claims
that she has always been a Catholic like her mother and sister and
the rumours were completely false. 
Pssst.
A l’ll birdie just told us that Khiladi, Akshay Kumar is
being roped in by Sahara TV for an action packed show for their
channel. If sources are to be believed, keeping in with his action
image, the show will be packed with death defying stunts and the
duration of the show will be of one hour. Though, no official
confirmation has come from both sides, sources close to the actor
confirm that negotiations indeed are on. Watch out all Saas Bahu
serials, here comes the Khiladi!
