M F hussain likely to paint Katrina

Source: Apun Ka choice
M F Hussain has loved Subhash Ghai’s film Yuvvraaj so much that he has offered to make a painting on the movie.

A statement released by the film's producers quotes Hussain as saying: “Yuvraaj is the kind of movie we get to see once in many years…I wonder on what basis are people criticizing the movie. I feel it is a beautifully made film with extremely melodious music and some brilliant performances."

Most likely, like Hussain’s previous muses Madhuri Dixit , Tabu and Amrita Rao , the painter will come up with a portrait of Yuvvraaj’s leading lady Katrina Kaif who looked enchantingly beautiful playing the cello in the movie. So smitten is Hussain by Ghai’s movie that he has seen it twice and can’t stop praising it.

In fact, rumours are going around that Hussain plans to paint more than one painting. He plans a painting of Katrina and a separate painting of the three estranged brothers, played by Salman Khan , Zayed Khan and Anil Kapoor in the film.

The movie’s director Subhash Ghai is flattered by Hussain’s praises but he feels the best compliment for his movie is Hussain’s offer to make a painting on it. The movie, however, has been panned by critics and has had just an average run at the box-office.

Soha Ali Khan is upping her game. Let's start with her looks first, which has undergone a dramatic change post her sexy photoshoot for Maxim magazine.

Now, the actress is experimenting with her roles as well. After the intense role in Mumbai Meri Jaan, the pretty kid sister of Saif Ali Khan will be seen in a light-hearted movie about relationships aptly titled Dil Kabaddi.

Directed by debutant Anil Sharma, the film also stars Rahul Bose, Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Payal Rohatgi and Rahul Khanna. Nithya Ramani got Soha talking about the film and how it feels to play Irrfan Khan's wife. Excerpts:

What is Dil Kabaddi about?
It is a comedy about the games we play when we are in love, especially relationships like marriage. There are two couples in the film -- Konkana Sen Sharma-Rahul Bose, and Irrfan Khan-myself.

I am very excited to play Irrfan's wife because I'm a huge fan. Though I got an opportunity to work with him in Mumbai Meri Jaan, I never actually got share screen space with him.

Doesn't it seem like an odd pairing?
Yes. He is like a 100 years old and I am 12. In the film, he leaves me for someone younger.

Shyam Benegal will be back soon with another comedy flick

After over four decades of filmmaking 73-year-old director Shyam Benegal has found a new inspiration and that's comedy. The success of Welcome to Sajjanpur is now behind him and the veteran filmmaker is now all set to tickle the audience's funny bone once again.

“After a very long time I had a film that was a popular success. Everybody seems to have liked it. Everywhere, from multiplexes to c-class cities to town,” says filmmaker Shyam Benegal.

Shyam Benegal’s films have always catered to a niche audience but finally after the success of Welcome to Sajjanpur he has been able to meet with the commercial success. And the filmmaker who has rarely dabbled in comedy now plans to entertain the masses with another light humorous venture.

“It is a comedy, it is also a satire. It is a little more political than what my last film was and I hope it will be very funny. The main part is of Boman Irani. He is a wonderful actor and there are many other people as we have a large cast but I cannot name them as no one is confirmed yet,” says Shyam.

So, after numerous thought provoking and serious films which earned him a name in the new wave phase of Indian parallel cinema, it looks like Shyam Benegal has found that nothing beats the sweet smell of success that comes with popular cinema.

Katria is jealous with salman's new girl Zarine

Now there has been a lot of talk about how Salman Khan is busy promoting Zarine, the heroine of Veer and the look alike of his girlfriend Katrina Kaif these days. She's been his arm candy at public places.

She's simply joked about it, "She is so sweet and I helped her with her make-up during her screen test. She is a lovely girl and I hope she does very well. Although I do not think she looks like me. But if Salman misses me and wants to work with girls who look like me, that is so sweet."

Many are surprised and have even wondered if Zarine plans to replace Kat in Sallu's life. Strangely Katrina herself doesn't seem to mind this at all.

This sounds more like a weird thought. Not every girl would like her man to party with someone else just because she's a look-alike or because he misses her. Or maybe everything is easy forKatrina because she's so much in love at all!

Priyanka's secretary denies proposing or abusing her

Priyanka Chopra's infamous secretary Prakash Jaju who was arrested for threatening her and sending her obscene messages is out on on bail now. After being bailed out he has been sending mails to his media friends defending himself.

"Maine uska namak khaya hai, main uske baare main galat kaise sochunga" Although as per settlement letter we both had to withdraw all police complaints and court cases filed against each other, i did that sincerely in one month but due to her busy schedule she couldn't withdraw the case filed by her against me in Andheri court, its when the Magistrate gave last warning to me that i started sending sms to Priyanka reminding her that its now ten months that she has not fulfilled her commitments and I may get into serious problem.

Here is what he has been writing to clear his image and come out clean – I have finally been released on bail but i still wonder why did it all happen? Ms. Priyanka cleared all my dues on 23rd Sept. 2007 after that there was no enemity between us.

Someone is seriously trying to ruin my image, it was his mischief to call Priyanka and threaten Priyanka to marry him (me) and to send her leud smses, i know there are very many international sites like 'fakemailz.com' thru which it can be done. It can even be done through mobile exchanges, I don't deny that I did not send her SMSs, I am definitely, requesting her to withdraw Andheri Court Case and at the same time advising her against signing bad films. Thats it nothing more than that.

I am married to a very beautiful Kashmiri girl, my elder son is 27 yr old and is MBA and younger one is 24 and is CA. I am searching brides for my sons and not for me. I have dealt with most of the beautiful actresses of this industry including Hemaji, Sreedeviji, Jaya Pradaji, Madhuriji, Manishaji and from the newer lot Katrina, Celina, Koena, Isha etc etc etc and not a single girl of this industry can say that I have misbehaved with her.
