No Sunny, Bipasha in 'Jism 3'

While Jism 2 has already created a big buzz, more excitement is in store. Even before the film starring Sunny Leone, Arunodoy Singh and Randeep Hooda hits the theatres, Pooja Bhatt has already begun planning for another movie in the Jism franchise.

Scene with Mahie is not pornographic: Randeep Hooda

Actors Mahie Gill and Randeep Hooda, who gave some up, close and personal shots including a kiss for 'Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster', feel there's no big deal about intimate scenes. 

"People were talking about it (the kiss) earlier. But after watching the film, nobody talked about it, which is a good thing. My family saw the film but they didn't even mention it or ask me about it," Mahie said here.

Randeep, who earlier shot steamy scenes for his long delayed film 'Rang Rasiya', too justified the scenes. 

"It is a part of the film... It is not pornographic. It is actually a very emotional scene in which two lovers indulge in physical intimacy which is very natural. So when you see the film, you won't find it sleazy, you will feel the emotions," he said. 

The movie, which released Sep 30, is directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and features Jimmy Shergill. It talks about betrayal, and is said to have been inspired by the principal characters of Guru Dutt's 1962 classic "Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam".

Sushmita Sen's ex, Randeep to marry Neetu?

Sushmita Sen's ex boyfriend Randeep Hooda had been getting close to Garam Masala girl Neetu Chandra since late last year.

They have so far managed to keep their relationship under wraps. However, with recent developments, keeping it away from the public eye, it seems, will no more be possible. Turns out that they have decided to take the relationship to Stage 2: Meeting the parents.

The young couple was spotted at a suburban nightspot with Randeep's mother, who frequents the same gym as Neetu. And that's not all.

On Sunday night, Neetu walked in to watch Randeep's new play Arms And The Man at a Juhu theatre with the actor's parents in tow. Making a picture perfect saas-bahu, they walked in to support Randeep acting in the Naseeruddin Shah directed play.

Our source informed, "Randeep is on a new career high. After his success with Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and other films lined up for release, the actor is now focussing on his personal life as well. His relationship with Sushmita Sen is now a thing of the past.

Neetu met Randeep on the sets of yet unreleased film Kusar Prasad Ka Bhoot. They got close and have been dating ever since."

However, with both Randeep and Neetu being extremely secretive about their personal lives, neither has ever spoken to the media about their relationship.

Now, it seems they are ready to take things a bit further. "The fact that Randeep introduced Neetu to his parents and she was with them proves that things are now pretty serious," added our source.

When contacted, "No comments," said Neetu. However, Randeep replied, "Many of my friends and family were there. My father was seeing me on stage after many years. And yes, Neetu was also there."
