He now puts a rest to those questions by making his acting debut with Cold Beer Served Here. It is learnt that Shekhar will not only take acting classes, but also learn to dance and do action stunts as well.

Apparently the actor has told his producer of Ek Thi Dayan , Vishal Bhardwaj (also the music director of the film) that he wants a bigger song than Dhan Te Nan (which Vishal composed for Shahid Kapoor in Kaminey ). Emraan's films always come with the promise of super hit songs.

At times music companies insist on a promotional video if there's no scope for song in the film. Shanghai director Dibakar Banerjee had to add a romantic song to the soundtrack because the music company insisted.

When Vishal, who is known for his chart busters ( Beedi Jalai Le, Dhan Te Nan and Ibne Batoota ) came together with Emraan, the expectations were already high. Apparently, the reason for the 'better' song is that Emraan is competitive by nature and wants his song to be remembered more than Shahid's.

Emraan admits, "Yes I want it bigger and hotter as I want to give Ek Thi Daayan the best chartbuster track of the year. I love the music Vishal gives as I find it very melodious and novel and I loved Dhan Te Na n.

In fact I don't know anyone who didn't like the song! (less)

Mr. Yash Chopra is an institution in himself literally.

"I am really happy to be working with Vishal Bhardwaj . We just finished a schedule in Rajkot and we are back.

He really is a genius director. He knows how much of what you need to use and portray that in his films.

" "For me, it was a little different. The kind of films that I have done was different from this one.

I was nervous in the beginning, but I think it's going really well and I am really looking forward to it." (less)

Imran Khan and Shruti Haasan may not have done any film together post disastrous 'Luck' but their families are as thick as ever. Imran's wife Avantika held a private trial show of Ekk Main Aur Ek Tu for close friends.

Avantika invited Sarika and her daughters too. Shruti was not in Mumbai and couldn't attend it.

I am not saying that I am totally innocent, but I was not guilty alone. I was hit first.

They misbehaved with us and even used abusive language. I have also lodged a complaint and the matter is in court.

" Saif Ali Khan One has to react "Unlikely that Saif hit that guy without extreme provocation. At times hecklers get so obnoxious/personal/aggressive, that one has to react.

" Vishal Dadlani , online Unfair tilt "Saif explained the whole incident on TV. It's unfair to tilt opinions against anyone just because he's a star.

Without knowing Saif's side of what happened, how can anyone just believe what this guys saying is true?" Kunal Kohli , online Celeb made victim "It's just sad that celebs are made victims for other people wanting their 15 minutes of fame. What happened was unfortunate, but anyone would have reacted to the way the women were spoken to.

The men did what any normal person would have done, celeb or no celeb." Amrita Arora Ladak Very unlike Saif "In the Saif-Sharma scuffle d part I find fishy is where Sharma states Saif told him "do u know who I am".

Very unlike Saif. There is something amiss in ths incident & I'm sure d facts will come out soon.

It's very unlike Saif to hit an elderly man or provoke a fight." Farah Khan Ali , online (less)

You have 'Raaz 3', 'Jism 3' , 'Murder 3', 'Ashiqui 2', so we want an original title for this," the 63-year-old said here in an interview. "The film remotely resembles the structure of 'Kalyug', which had an individual lock horns with the porn industry and this has a young man locking horns with the diamond mafia," he added.

"Blood Money" talks about a small-town boy who enters the diamond export business and is slowly sucked into the underworld. The film also stars Amrita Puri of "Aisha" fame.

Bhatt also revealed the reason behind shooting the movie Cape Town when originally they wanted to can it in Antwerp, Belgium. "This picture was going to be shot in Antwerp in Belgium.

But people there of Indian origin who, I think, hailed from Gujarat, took exception to this particular story because they thought they would be shown in bad light. They thought the villain is loosely based on Bharat Shah, which is not true.

They, in fact, ganged up against us and stopped us from shooting there. That's why we had to shoot in Cape Town," said Bhatt (less)
