(less)Imran Khan turns photographer for Kareena Kapoor
"Some of the photos were taken on an iPhone while some of them were taken in SLR cameras. Our on-set photographer Amin Ahuja was helping me out on all of this because I am not a professional photographer.
So I can't take all the credit. It was because of his help," Imran said.
Kareena was completely flattered looking at her pictures and said this was the first time any co-star has clicked her photographs. "I think it's the first time ever one of my co-stars has clicked beautiful pictures of me.
So, thank you Imran," she said. With her co-star's passion for photography, has Kareena tried her hands on the same? "I have never tried my hands on photography.
May be Imran can give me some lessons," said the Ek Main Aur Ek Tu actress. Tweet
(less)Priyanka not invited at Sussanne ‘Agneepath’ bash | Bollywood News and Gossip
She also happens to be the leading lady of their next production, Krrish 3. Sources say she wasn’t invited because of her closeness to Shah Rukh Khan.
Sussanne Roshan, who drew up the guest list, chose her friendship with SRK’s wife Gauri Khan over PC. Priyanka was earlier dropped by Gauri from her Christmas party guest list last year.
Says a source, “It was odd to not see Priyanka at the celebration party of her own film. Even people not associated with the film were invited, like Duggu’s Krissh 3 co-stars Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut.
” It is now clear that PC is being pointedly sidelined by Gauri and her gang of girls, which includes Sussanne, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey and Mehr Jesia. They even ignored her at Parmeshwar Godrej’s recent bash for Oprah Winfrey, where an Priyanka then left early.

(less)Sharman’s historic innings at Lords!
The film is apparently the first film to have been shot there! Our source revealed, "Ferrari Ki Sawaari, is the first Indian move that has ever been shot on the famed Ground. The Lords Cricket Ground in London is probably the most prestigious and the most reputed of all cricket venues in the world, so it is of little wonder that getting permission to shoot there was a task! The 'home of cricket' was obtained for shoots with great difficulty and the crew had permission for just two days.
A lot had to be packed into these two days. Everything had been planned and well scheduled.
However, the crew had just one primary concern - that it would start raining. This would cost the team two very precious days and another long process of getting permission for Lords.
However, the Rain Gods showered their blessings on the crew - not quite literally! On both days, it started raining right after pack-up and the skies would clear right before the shot had to be taken. Thus the shoot was completed peacefully.
" Ferrari Ki Sawaari is directed by Rajesh Mapuskar , starring Sharman Joshi and Boman Irani . The film was in news for Sachin Tendulkar's alleged cameo which the mestro has denied.
The film will also have Vidya Balan's item song!
(less)Special Valentine's Day for Amy Jackson
Amy Jackson is looking forward to an exciting Valentine's Day this year. Maybe it's partly because of the love that she has found courtesy co-star Prateik, but it's moreso because her film Ekk Tha Tiger will hit the screens on February 17.
Ekk Tha Tiger is already being talked about owing to the steamy kiss between Prateik and Amy Jackson in the movie. However, it doesn't look like Prateik and Amy may have too many similar cozy moments this Valentine's - they'll be busy interacting with the audience and promoting their movie! This Bollywood film is a remake of the south superhit 'Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya'.
Director Gautham Menon has ensured that love is in the air, not just for Prateik and Amy Jackson, but for every cine-goer, too! We also hear that Prateik and Amy will be frequenting theatres to check out audience reaction and feel the crowd's pulse towards their first venture together
(less)Sanjay to get into shape for 'Munich'
Confirming the ambitious Rs.90 crore project, Varma said: "Yes, Sanjay Dutt and I are doing another film right after 'Department'.
I truly believe he is our last action hero. So I am going to cast him as a one-man army on a global mission.
'Munich' is the film I've in mind." "But it would be not just a cerebral thriller.
I want Sanjay Dutt doing a lot of daring action. You see, in 'Department', he plays a plain clothed cop who has to blend with the crowds.
So there's little room for heroics. I want to pump up the action level dangerously in our next film.
So it would be 'Munich' meets 'Rambo'." Sanjay seems very excited about the film.
"Yes, Ramu and I have discussed the project we're doing next. It's very exciting.
" The film will go on the floors later this year
(less)Shaadi ka laddoo for Riteish, Genelia
But this once, it is for real. What actually happened is that Riteish and Genelia re-discovered love on the sets of Kumar Taurani's Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya, directed by Mandeep Kumar.
Says an insider, "Their chemistry has come across beautifully and the director had a wonderful time capturing it on screen." Taurani, who was witness to their real and reel-life chemistry, says, "Besides playing a couple on screen, Riteish and Genelia actually got to spend a lot of time with each other on the sets.
In the past, both had busy schedules and they would catch up whenever they could. However, my shoot kept them together constantly.
They just couldn't get enough of each other. In fact, we just shot a wedding scene and fans thronged the sets assuming they were actually getting married.
The reactions had to be seen to be believed." Taurani adds that Tere Naal.
..
is a romantic flick and will strike a chord with the audience instantly. "The music, by Sachin-Jigar, is one of the high points of the film.
" Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is a UTV Motion Pictures and Tips Industries Pvt Ltd presentation and releases on February 24
(less)Love You To Death: Movie Review
But most of the times for the wrong reasons (anglicized accents, ludicrous scenes, ham acts). And even they are far and few between.
The story keeps beating around the bush and by the time the narrative actually comes to point, the film bores you to death. The good-for-nothing Atul (Chandan Roy Sanyal), his mom (Suhasini Mulay) and dad (Kallol Banerjee) are surviving on the assets of Atul's wife, Sonia (Yuki Ellias).
Her late parents have left behind a fortune for her, which the in-laws want to exploit to their advantage. But when Sonia refuses to fund Atul's new security system project, he and his mother decide to terminate her.
What follows is a series of misadventures in her murder attempt. While the burning-the-bride conflict might sound hoary and hackneyed, director Rafeeq Ellias' treatment to this crime-comedy is way away from conventional.
But so hatke is his direction that in making things wild and wacky, the film ends up turning weird. There seems to be a deliberate attempt to devise crazy characters who have crazier conflicts.
Like the father is wildlife enthusiast, the mother indulges in play-station sessions with the domestic help and Sonia is obsessed with astrology of any kind. None of these attributes contribute to the central plot and so the film tries too hard to be funny.
Amongst the genuinely funny sequences are the one where Atul and his mother negotiate Sonia's murder with a theatre director (Chetan Shashital) and a condolence speech given at a dog's funeral attended by dogs of all castes and 'breeds'. Otherwise the film has a very unusual tone of humour where you see a sexologist (Sohrab Ardeshir) who doubles up as a rockstar - a preposterous 'turnoff'.
Initially the viewer has no idea where the story is heading towards. And by the time one apprehends, they seem to be least interested.
The climax set in the Priyadarshan-Anees Bazmee mould, getting all the characters together, thankfully doesn't get commotional and is smartly executed. While the approach to the humour is never full-blown, much of the wit is lost in the film's subtlety.
The performances are kind of dramatic. One can't help but notice a strong Urmila Matondkar hangover in Yuki Ellias' looks.
She comes up with a decent act. Chandan Roy Sanyal isn't bad but gets overtly expressive at times.
Suhasini Mulay is good. Kallol Banerjee is funny in the restaurant and funeral sequence.
Sheeba Chadha and Chetan Shashital are fine for their parts. Sohrab Ardeshir hams.
Nicholas Brown (last seen as the villain in Kites ) doesn't get much scope. All said and done, Love you to Death had the potential to be a much funnier and entertaining film.
Sadly it shows only sporadic sparks of life! Verdict: Average
