Ash, SRK come together again The
beautiful Aishwarya Rai and superstar Shah Rukh Khan are all set to
play lead roles in Venus’ next home production. If rumours are to be
believed, the film also had Kareena Kapoor alongwith Ash and SRK,
and was said to be a comedy about a doctor and a patient at a mental
hospital and was to be directed by Priyadarshan. But now the
producers are working on a better script for the film. This could
also lead to change of director and according to the new script,
there will be no room for Kareena in the film. The duo of Ash and
SRK has featured in Venus´ ‘Josh’, Yash Chopra´s ‘Mohabbatein’ and
will feature together again in Sanjay Leela Bhansali´s ‘Devdas’ and
Boney Kapoor´s ‘Shakti’ (in guest roles). |

Hrithik says 'No' to Hollywood!
"The offer came from Warner Brothers but they wanted him to act continuously for three months from September to December last year but he could not accept it as he was already committed for those days," Rakesh Roshan, who had produced the blockbuster Kaho Na Pyar Hai revealed. "Hrithik has now decided not to act in more than one film a year. He would love to act in Hollywood films. That would be a breakthrough for India," he said. |

It's boom or bust for Bollywood With the budget of many of the films averaging nearly Rs. 20 crore, roughly Rs. 500 crore is at stake. Among the first to hit the screen will be Satish Kaushik’s Badhai ho Badhai which will be followed by the long-in-the can movie Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam that has a star cast of Shah Rukh, Salman and Madhuri. David Dhawan’s comedy Hum Kisise Kum Nahin starring Amitabh and Ajay Devgan has already generated interest with the promos. Anupam Kher tries his luck as director in Om Jai Jagdish, a tale of three brothers starring Anil Kapoor, Fardeen and Abhishek. Kher could find the going tough with Devdas hitting the screen around the same time. Another Amitabh thriller following Aankhen, is set for release in July. Kaante has a very taut plot and the multistarrer has been filmed abroad. Two big productions on the legendary Bhagat Singh, starring the Deols and Ajay Devgan, too are racing against time to hit the screen first. All in all, film buffs never had it so good, though the industry keeps its fingers crossed with prayers on its lips. |
When
many of the Bollywood stars are ready to give their right hand for a
role in a Hollywood film, there comes news that Hrithik Roshan has
turned down an offer from Warner Brothers. Hrithik rejected a
proposal to act in the Hollywood film Hamlet because of his
busy schedule but he might in future take up roles in Hollywood
films, according to his father Rakesh Roshan.
The
show must go on, they say in Bollywood. So despite the series of
flops in the past five months,the film industry is all geared up to
release as many as 28 new productions in the coming three months.
And they include blockbusters like Devdas, made at a cost of
a mindboggling Rs. 40 crore. Sanjay Leela Bansali always dreams big
and has spared no efforts to make his Shah Rukh-Madhuri-Aishwarya
tragic saga into a visual delight. If not for storyline, direction
or music, the film should capture the viewers’ imagination through
its lavish sets and rich costumes.
