Congrats Abhishek, we should get together: Arnold Schwarzenegger
More celebrities should be pumping up green progress. I'll be back, and we should get together," Schwarzenegger wrote on his Twitter page Friday morning.
The 64-year-old, former governor of California, was here to attend the 12th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit. He was also due to present Abhishek with the Green Globe for Outstanding Efforts by a Celebrity award, but he did not turn up.
However, Abhishek says he was not aware that Schwarzenegger was supposed to present him the award. "I had no idea, I was just told that I would get the Green Globe award.
I was never told that I would get the award from him," Abhishek told IANS. According to a source, "Wizcraft people had met Arnold and everything was sorted, but don't know why he didn't turn up at the last moment.
" Abhishek said he is willing to work with Schwarzenegger for a greener future. "If he (Schwarzenegger) thinks me worthy of helping him out for a greener tomorrow I would be more than happy to do it," Abhishek said.

(less)Karisma Kapoor turns item girl for Rowdy Rathore
However, it was only last year that the actress decided to take a plunge into Bollywood again with Vikram Bhatt's Dangerous Ishq. And Lolo hasn't stopped at that.
Mumbai Mirror has learnt that Karisma, known for her dancing prowess is all set to scorch the screen in an item number in Rowdy Rathore. According to sources from the industry, the item number, in keeping with the latest trend of Munnis, Sheilas and Chikni Chamelis, will also have a 'desi' tune.
Rowdy Rathore director Prabhu Devaa will be choreographing the song. Drawing inspiration from the recent Chikni Chameli number, this song too will be filmed in the villain's den.
The villain Nasser and hero Akshay Kumar will also be a part of the song. Though the song is not ready yet, the picturisation for the same will take place in Mumbai next month.

(less)Bollywood mourns Raj Kanwar's dealth
The film industry was in a state of shock over the untimely demise of this prolific filmmaker. Incidentally Kanwar's elder brother K Pappu also died of the same ailment five years ago and at the age of 53.
Kanwar's body will be flown to India today. Kanwar is survived by his wife Anita and two sons Karan (20) and Abhay Kanwar (16).
The cremation will be held at Oshiwara on Sunday afternoon at 12. Raj Kanwar (earlier assistant to Rajkumar Santoshi) arrived in Bollywood with a big bang with his directorial debut Deewana which launched one of the country's biggest superstars in the form of Shah Rukh Khan .
The film went on to smash all box-office records and then Kanwar went on to create some of the biggest hits in the form of Laadla, Jeet, Daag-The Fire, Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega and Andaaz. He successfully launched the career of several Bollywood stars - Priyanka Chopra , Lara Dutta , Arya Babbar, Amrita Rao , apart from SRK.
Known for his shy nature and extremely low-profile life style, Kanwar was a man of few words whose only passion was cinema. In the last couple of years Kanwar launched Shatrughan Sinha's son Luv in Saadiyaan, which was a flop and was planning his next film.

RIP. Lara Dutta Launched by Raj Kanwar in Andaaz R.
I.P.
Raj ji. Friend,director and guide.
Bid goodbye with a very heavy heart! :-(. We lost a kind, gentle, positive man Abhishek Bachchan Worked with him in Dhai Akshar Prem Ke Terribly saddened by the passing of Raj Kanwar.
Was the first person to sign me after Refugee. He made Aishwarya and my first film together.
Dhai Akshar Prem Ke. Was a lovely man, always happy, smiling and joking.
Have wonderful memories of him. Now no more.
Priyanka Chopra Launched by him in Andaaz Saddens me so much,my 1st director Raj Kanwar passed away..
RIP Rajji..
U believed in me when even I didn't. Andaaz taught me everything I know Suneel Darshan Produced Andaaz, which Raj Kanwar directed I have very fine memories of Raj.
Our relationship spanned over 25 years.He worked with me as an assiatant director in the late 1980s.
He directed Andaaz for me in 2003. He was a very brilliant filmmaker but not very media savvy.
He had an illustrious career. His death is too shocking.
He was just in his 50s. He met me before he left for Singapore.
That was my last meeting with him. Amrita Rao Launched by Raj Kanwar in Ab Ke Baras How can I forget the first filmmaker who I debuted with? He was a tough taskmaster and a perfectionist.
He demanded high voltage performances from his actors and made sure that they delivered in their first take. Rumi Jaffery Wrote Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega for Kanwar I tried calling him a few days back to show him my film.
He used to ask me about it. I couldn't connect to him at the time.
I landed back from Dubai and received a message about his death. He was a very good friend.
Luv Sinha launched by Raj Kanwar in Saadiyaan He was a very lively person, always full of life even when he was unwell. It was entertaining to be around him.
As a director, he would try explaining things differently and it was a learning experience. I still can't get over the shock.
He was very quick in his work and he had a good music sense
(less)Deepika Padukone opts out of Race 2
Her exit could not have been worse-timed, as it means more delays and hiccups for the Ramesh Taurani production. This is the second high profile exit after Sonakshi Sinha walked out of the mega-cast project and was replaced by Jaqueline Fernandes.
A shocked Taurani now has the onerous task of finding a replacement, someone who can step into Deepika's high heels opposite Saif Ali Khan. A source close to the actress confirmed the developments and explained that her walkout had a lot to do with the film's ever-changing schedule.
"Deepika had issues with the dates. Moreover she was irritated by the constant change in the shooting schedule of the film.
" It should be noted here that the makers of Race 2 starring Saif, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Amisha Patel and Jacqueline has had the Herculean task of juggling all the star dates. To top it all, Sanjay Dutt has just been added to the cast, adding to the list of busy actors.
"In a bid to accommodate all their dates, Deepika had to sacrifice her own. And Tips expected a commitment of 60 dates from her this year.
Given that she had already committed dates to Ayan Mukherji, she was in no mood to rework her schedule again," said the source, adding, "She didn't want to be a part of the film anymore and walked out of the film." Mirror has learnt that Taurani tried his best to cajole the actress into continuing with the film.
Her co-star from Love Aaj Kal and Cocktail, Saif, too tried his best to convince her to stay on. But to no avail.
According to unconfirmed reports, she was also not happy sharing screenspace with Jaqueline Fernandes. But then that is another story.
Despite repeated calls and text messages, both Deepika and Ramesh Taurani remained unavailable for comments. Wonder if Taurani has bitten off more than he could chew this time?
