Is Sanjay Leela Bhansali miffed with Ekta Kapoor?

Sources say that the filmmaker is irritated with the spoofs on 'Devdas' in 'Kya Super Kool Hain Hum'

 Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming comedy sequel has pulled a spoof on several films. But looks like the makers have now rubbed Sanjay Leela Bhansali the wrong way with their act on Devdas. Apparently, the filmmaker is not at all amused with this antic.

A source informs us, “Ekta’s upcoming film with Tusshar, Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane is a spoof on Bhansali with the song Dil dola re dola playing in the background. When the director learnt about it, he was not amused.

 Now the same is being used in the promos of the film and Bhansali is very irritated. It is a known fact that he does not take kindly to his films being ridiculed. Earlier too he was very upset with Rohit Shetty for making fun of him and his films in the Golmaal series.”

Ekta Kapoor says, “A spoof is the best form of flattery. We’ve spoofed as many as five films including The Dirty Picture; so Devdas is no exception. And everyone knows that it’s all in light jest. I don’t think Sanjay will be upset.”

Farhan Akhtar to direct Krrish 3 climax

“Krrish” star Hrithik Roshan has reportedly approached his close friend and Ace filmamker Farhan Akhtar to direct the climax of his upcoming film “Krrish 3’.

Roshan is reportedly preoccupied with his home production Krrish 3 and wants to refine its climax with the creative brains of his filmmaker friend Akhtar.

A source close to the actor said, “Hrithik has been occupied with Krrish 3. It seems he is not too happy with the climax of the film and wants to change it. So, right now he is busy trying to figure out what can be done to resolve the problem. Hrithik had a chat with his father and film’s Director Rakesh Roshan and after much discussion they decided to have somebody else on board to re-shoot a portion of the climax.”

The source further added, “Hrithik has now approached his buddy Farhan. They are childhood friends and have also worked together in 2004, when Farhan directed him in the film ‘Lakshya’. In fact, more recently they shared the screen space in Farhan’s sister, Zoya Akhtar’s films — ‘Luck by Chance’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’. Such is their camaraderie that it but seemed natural for Hrithik to turn to his filmmaker buddy to help tweak the climax to make it more gripping and interesting. So, if all goes well Farhan will step in to help the Roshans with his creative inputs.”

This instance was earlier seen when Shahrukh Khan asked Karan Johar to direct a scene in his superhero flick “Ra.One” directed by Anubhav Sinha.

Farhan Akhtar wants young blood for comedy

They have worked with the who’s who of Bollywood, including Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan. But we have learnt that Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani will cast newbies for the first time in their yet-untitled upcoming venture.

Farhan and Ritesh’s Excel Entertainment will make a comedy next and they want to rope in newcomers for the same. “They will also go in for a nationwide talent hunt. Right now, they are finalising details on to how to take things forward,” says an insider close to the film.

As for the director, Farhan and Ritesh are toying with a couple of names. “Since Farhan has been busy with Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, they are yet to sit down and take a final call,” adds the insider.

The film, in all probability, will kick off around the same time that Talaash releases. The Aamir Khan-starrer is scheduled to hit theatres in November.

It’s interesting to note that in the last 10 years, Excel has cast only top names from Bollywood for films like Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Lakshya (2004), Luck By Chance (2009), Don series and the forthcoming Talaash

“The fact that they will be launching a completely new star cast isn’t happening without a reason. As per the script, they need fresh faces since none of the established stars fit the bill,” adds the insider.

When contacted, Ritesh confirms the news without getting into details, but his company’s spokesperson is more forthcoming: “Yes, we are making a comedy with new actors, but it’s too early to get into other details. In a few weeks, more information will be available.”

My body is my religion: John Abraham

Bollywood Actor John Abraham, who is famous for his strict fitness regime, says he wants to live and die with six pack abs. The 39-year-old made heads turn when he wore yellow swimming trunks in a famous scene in 'Dostana' and John says there is nothing more important to him than his health.

"I am pretty much an agnostic tending to become an atheist so my only religion is my body. I think there is nothing more important than health and workout. I want to live with a six pack and die with a six pack."

"I credit Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan for creating that awareness amongst the youth to go to the gym. To have a good body you need a completely disciplined lifestyle," said John, who was in the Capital to launch Philip's body-groomer.


The actor, who has been in the industry for over a decade now and has given hits like 'Desi Boyz' and 'Force', recently turned a producer with Ayushmann Khurrana 'Vicky Donor', which was a critical and commercial success.

John says he is in a very happy space right now as an actor and producer and he wants to provide platform for new talent in the industry.

"When you are an actor you are just a means to an end and not the end in itself. So I decided to produce films and I wanted to be a hands on producer, most actors produce films which they only act in. I wanted to make sure that I make the films I believe in even if the cast is otherwise," he added.

John has three more films - 'Jaffna', 'Hamara Bajaj' and 'Kala Ghoda' - in the pipeline.

Spotted: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif at the airport

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif at Mumbai airport on way to Bangkok for the shoot of their film

Sarah Jane Dias recently visited a college for a film event

Surrounded by overenthusiastic kids, she even danced on top of a jeep to the tunes of a number from her upcoming film. And while she was at it, she also taught a couple of students a step or two!

Katrina Kaif has a new address

Looks like Katrina Kaif has only work on her mind.

While tabloids went overboard reporting about Katrina Kaif's secret birthday bash, the actress insisted that she was busy with her industry colleagues, namely choreographer Bosco and Assistant Director Karishma Kohli at a Bandra nightspot.

So much so, that the actress is currently almost camped out at the Yash Raj Studios.

With her current home under renovation, Katrina Kaif has been increasingly spending more and more hours at the suburban address.

According to sources, the primary reason could be that the actress is multi-tasking at the moment, trying to wrap up her professional commitments.

The source also informed that while on one hand she is practising her action stunts for Dhoom: 3, she also keeps busy dubbing for Kabir Khan's spy thriller Ek Tha Tiger.

She is also working on Yash Chopra's comeback project co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma. The source said, "The actress has been spotted entering the studio early in the morning and leaving very late at night."
