Seductive Jiah Khan



Nana Patekar Angry with Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone was recently at the receiving end of Nana Patekar's fury after she rubbed the veteran actor on the wrong side. According to our sources, Deepika Padukone invited Nana's wrath after she suggested a few changes in the script that Nana had written for her.

Actually, Nana Patekar wants to direct a film for Prakash Jha and he had thought of casting Deepika for the role. So, when Nana showed the script to the actress, Deepika suggested a few changes in it. This did not go down well with Nana and he gave an earful to the actress. Deepika was taken aback by Nana's loss of cool and has now decided not to do the film.

The sources further reveal that Nana felt offended when Deepika started suggesting a few changes in the script.

No Tweeting for Priyanka Chopra



A blissfully tweeting Priyanka Chopra did give the hives to producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Brought back memories of Sajid Khan, who promptly put up one of the prized and closely guarded pics of 'Housefull' on Twitter, barely after completing the shoot!

Fearing such loss of privacy, producer Nadiadwala has taken an express clause and contractually bound his lead pair: Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor, and crew members, from divulging info about his venture 'Anjaana Anjaani' on the micro blogging site or any other social networking site!

Since, Chopra and Kapoor are both tweet happy, the producer took this extreme step… and has now belled the site cat.

Canny producers take your clue…

Bollywood newbie Jiah Khan all praise for her Co-Stars



Earlier, Kangna Ranaut and Jiah Khan were not exactly on the most amicable terms. Rather, fights over clothes, accessories and more… left common designer Rick Roy quite dizzy! But all that's old hat for Jiah Khan.

The London based Khan is all praise for her new co stars. Nope, it's not Akshay Kumar or Riteish Deshmukh. Khan is all gush gush over her two girlie pals: Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta.

Admittedly, the trio got along like the proverbial house on fire. "I was treated like a baby on the sets," she says in a media chat. "Both, Deepika and Lara really made me comfortable and went out of their way to help me with suggestions over my clothes and make up."

Bringing up Khan... Lara, Deepika style.

Tamil Actor Jiiva Does his own Stunts



Recently, Jiiva pulled off a very risky stunt for K.V. Anand's Ko; this scene, that required him to perform some daring fight sequences, was shot in a posh apartment in Chennai. The stunt choreographer was very impressed with Jiiva's performance, who managed to perform the stunt sequence like a professional stuntman. Sources also say that cinematographer-turned-director K.V. Anand is truly impressed with the on screen chemistry of the lead pair (Jiiva and Karthika) and has commended the duo's performance. Ko is making headlines ever since its launch. First, heroine Tamannaah was replaced by Karthika, daughter of yesteryear beauty Radha. Then came the shocker when Silambarasan walked out of the project after the photo shoot and Jiiva stepped into Simbu's shoes. S. Kumar and R. Jayaraman of RS Infotainment, who produced Gautham Menon's Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, are producing Ko. The movie is expected be a commercial entertainer on the lines of K.V. Anand's earlier venture Ayan. The title Ko means 'king' in Tamil. Anand will again team up with the writer-duo Subha and Harris Jayaraj for Ko.

Sunny Deol back to Movies after a Long haitus



After a gaping hiatus, Sunny Deol will be spotted matching histrionics with Irrfan Khan, Eesha Koppikhar and Konkona Sen Sharma in the Mukta Arts's 'Right Yaaa Wrong'.

Explaining his long sabbatical, Deol states, "I had a back problem, and I wasn't accepting assignments because of it. It's all under control now. But when it does act up, then I'm forced to slow down."

Talking about his role, Sunny states, "Both Irrfan and I play cops in 'Right Yaaa Wrong' and we're both pals, initially. But the turning point in the film comes when there is a clash of ideologies."

'Apne' featuring the trio of Deols: Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby did train the spotlight onto the National Award winner. He is confident that his forthcoming flick will fetch an optimistic response at the cine stakes. "I do strongly feel that 'Right Yaaa Wrong' will strike the right chord with the audience."

Deol's other projects that are soon to release include, 'Yamla Pagla Deewana'; a pivotal role in Vinay and Radhika Sapru's flick and his unfinished directorial venture: 'The Man' with Shilpa Shetty.

Admittedly, Deol is yet being wooed by filmmakers; a dozen scripts are lying around for his perusal, but agreeing to movies as a friendly favour can now be considered a forgotten chapter, declares Deol. "I won't take up an offer unless it excites me," says he.

Actor Aarya Babbar Plays a Cop in "Tees Maar Khan"



After playing a convict in Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Jail', Aarya Babbar is now excited about being a cop in Farah Khan's light-hearted film 'Tees Maar Khan'.

The 28-year-old son of veteran actor and politician Raj Babbar will play a village inspector in the movie.

"I'm extremely excited about shooting for 'Tees Maar Khan' as it's my first time at comedy and being directed by Farah Khan. It's funny that in 'Jail', I played a convict and in 'Tees Maar Khan', I play an inspector. Life has its own screenplay I say," Aarya said in a press release.

"But it's a great feeling as I am trying different genres and this is definitely going to be a step ahead in my career," he added.

The actor, who played Aishwarya Rai's brother in 'Guru', says he is having a lot of fun working with Farah, who is also co-producing the movie along with the film's lead actor Akshay Kumar.

"Farah is a chilled out and a complete actor's director. All in all she is an absolute delight to work with," he said.

The movie is expected to release towards the end of this year.
