Nargis Fakhri takes Ranbir Kapoor for a ride

Ranbir Kapoor had the fright of his life when he had to shoot a bike sequence with newbie Nargis Fakhri in Rockstar.

Ranbir was required to ride pillion with Nargis. Since Nargis had never ridden one, Imtiaz asked his team to teach Nargis. To everyone's surprise, after just half an hour of practice, Nargis claimed that she was ready for the shot. Ranbir expressed his concern - wondering how Nargis could learn riding a bike in just 30 minutes.

However, once the shoot commenced, Ranbir realized that Nargis was indeed a fast learner and was handling the bike quite comfortably, he eventually relaxed and even enjoyed his short spin with Nargis. For a change, RK was taken for a ride!

Salman Khan to co-produce ‘Chillar Party’

Salman Khan has decided to co-produce the children’s film Chillar Party along with UTV.

Chillar Party follows the life of a group of children who stand up against a corrupt politician to save a dog.

Originally the children movie was solely produced by UTV but after Salman saw the movie he fell in love with the movie and decided to be associated with it. As Salman says, "It is the most beautiful film that I have ever seen. All dog-lovers should see it, all people who hate dogs should see it, all parents and children should go for it."

Furthermore, Salman Khan has stated that all the money that he makes from the film will go to the Being Human charitable trust.

"It’s an incredible film. When I saw it, I decided to attach myself to it because its such an amazing film that I thought that Being Human and Salman Khan had to be a part of it," added Salman.

Most recently, Ranbir Kapoor shot for a full-on masti song for the children’s film. In the song, Ranbir himself dresses up as a tapori. The look is inspired from his dad Rishi Kapoor’s character Akbar in the yesteryear blockbuster Amar Akbar Anthony.

'Chillar Party' is co-directed by debutants Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwary and will release on July 8th.

Anushka replaces Deepika

Ayaan Mukerji's second film with Ranbir Kapoor and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has come up with a new surprise. Deepika Padukone, who was cast as the female lead in the film, has just been replaced.

Much like her off-screen life, Anushka Sharma will now be romancing Dippy's ex-flame on screen.

A source explains how the personal undercurrents have complicated the casting of the film, saying, "Deepika and Ayaan have been great friends for a long time now. While discussing the film, Deepika suggested that she wanted to be a part of the film.

Ayaan thought she was apt for the role. However, there have been many ifs and buts since then. Ranbir's then girlfriend, Katrina, was not very happy with Deepika being a part of the film. Besides, there were speculations about Katrina herself doing the movie.

However, after Ranbir and Katrina's recent break up and the actor's link-up to various women including Anushka, she seemed like the next obvious option for the role. And so, now, Anushka has been finalised for the film."

When contacted Karan Johar said, "Ayaan is still writing the film. He will lock his script in a month and then we will finalise everything. Right now the only person signed for the film is myself as the producer."

Ayaan and Anushka remained unavailable for comment.
