While Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor won hearts with their onscreen chemistry in Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2, they are all set to recreate the same with Tigmanshu Dhulia's Milan Talkies. The film which was on hold after many actors walked out of the project, has finally found the leads in Aditya and Shraddha. Prior to this, the original casting decision was to bring together the duo of Imran Khan and Priyanka Chopra. However, Imran Khan walked out of the film owing to his differences with Ekta Kapoor after the Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara! debacle and later, Priyanka Chopra too decided to quit the film. Post that, Shahid Kapoor was taken on board and later, Tigmanshu Dhulia even confirmed Varun Dhawan's presence during an interview after the release of Saif Ali Khan - Sonakshi starrer Bullett Raja. However, it seems none of these associations seem to have worked out.

It's really strange but true. Salman Khan and Shraddha Kapoor seem to be sharing more than one similarity. Besides the fact that they both of them have sung in their respective films recently, the latest is that they both have been banned by the paparazzi. This 'ban' on Salman Khan comes in wake of treatment that was reportedly meted out to the camerapersons, with whom Salman apparently refused to co-operate by posing for them (at a particular spot) at around 10.30pm during an event. If that wasn't enough, then, buzz was also that they were allegedly roughed up by Salman's personal bodyguards and the venue's security personnel. "I don't think we are doing any city tours for Kick," said Salman Khan in a Bollywood Hungama exclusive video interview. "It gets difficult to handle crowd. Police is there, fans are there, people get hurt. Some people get up and for mileage raise some issue.

Mumbai, Dec 17: After working together in "London Dreams", actor-comedian Vir Das will share the frame with Rishi Kapoor in Sanjay Chhel's "Khanna Patel".
Vir plays the veteran actor's son in the film, said a statement.
"Khanna Patel" is a comical love story of a Punjabi boy and a Gujarati girl.
"The film is possibly Vir's most commercial outing and he plays a character with a very hardcore Punjabi flavour," said a source close to the project.
Known for his amazing comic timing in films like "Go Goa Gone" and "Delhi Belly", this film also will see Vir Das in a comical role, which goes well with Rishi.

He came with 'London Dreams' in his eyes with a 'Guzaarish' in his mind that his 'Aashiqui' should be an 'Action Replayy' of his 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' at the B-o. No points for guessing that we are indeed talking about the Bollywood's latest 'hit' boy Aditya Roy Kapur. With his films becoming blockbusters, it's not a wonder that he is adored by not just film makers, but also brand managers! According to Bollywood Hungama's reliable sources, Aditya Roy Kapur has now been signed up to be the brand ambassador of Q mobiles. The official announcement of the same is awaited.

Suddenly, Aditya Roy Kapur is all over the place. That's what one Friday does to actors. Having failed to make any impact in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish and Vipul Shah's London Dreams and Action Replayy, suddenly Aditya is the flavour of the season with two back-to-back blockbusters Aashiqui 2 and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, both turning the young Kapoor into one of the most saleable actors in Bollywood.
The process of re-discovering Aditya Roy Kapur has begun in right earnest. One now hears that a sleeper Hindi-Tamil-Telugu project with Aditya in the lead that was designed to launch the Southern hottie Samantha Ruth Prabhu in Hindi would be revived and released.
The action-adventure-comedy entitled Assi Nabbe Poore Sau in Hindi stars Aditya in only the Hindi version. Jeeva and Nani star in the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film. Samantha is common to all three versions of the film.

Mumbai, April 3: Director-producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, whose "London Dreams" and "Action Replayy" bombed at the box office, accepts that there were mistakes in the films. He feels his decision to give a retro look to Akshay Kumar in "Action Replayy" went against the movie.
"When you make a film, you can't think or assure that it will be a hit. I am lucky that out of my eight films six have worked. If a film has not worked, then we will have to accept our mistakes that we have made in the films," Shah told Ians.
"As per my knowledge, in 'Action Replayy', Akshay's look was my fault. Akshay had even said that this shouldn't.

Despite the gems we have seen in 2012, there’s always going to be a lineup of duds that let you down and unintentionally make you laugh. 2012 rolled out the big masala films and introduced a great bunch of well-written and thoughtful films. So it’s time to scrape through dreck and remind ourselves of films that were better left unwatched and tossed out and that too for the right reasons! From egregious dubbing voices for debutantes, to more ridiculous dance moves from Salman and Ajay Devgn, the Razzies this year remind us that there’s always the good, the dreadful, and the awful.

Aditya Roy Kapur is known for his stylish Afro look. But for his role in the film Aashiqui 2 the 26-year old has to let go of his curls as they are looking for the perfect hairstyle.
For the perfect look, Kapur has tried over a hundred wigs, but they still haven’t found the perfect look. “We’re still in the process of finalizing the look. In spite of trying some 112 odd hairstyles, we’ve still not found the perfect one,” says Aditya.
Kapur often gets questions about his hair. You have to admit, his hair is quite unbelievable, but it’s 100% natural. “This is my natural hair and it has always been like this. In fact, if my eldest brother (Siddharth) grows his hair, it will end up looking like mine. Only Kunaal (Roy Kapur) has straight hair.”
The actor was seen in films like Guzaarish and London Dreams.

The suspense is over. After it was declared by the makers that Nargis Fakhri would have to make way for another girl in Khiladi 786, there were speculations galore around who would be the chosen one. While it would be futile to name the ones who were pitching for the role and were also in consideration, it has now been revealed that Asin is the chosen one. "Yes, Asin has been signed for the film. In fact she would be starting the film's shoot immediately", says our well placed source attached to the film. This would also make it second instance where Asin would be paired opposite Akshay Kumar (Housefull 2). Incidentally, Asin has been time and again repeated by her co-stars after being paired opposite them. Whether it is Salman Khan (London Dreams, Ready), Ajay Devgn (London Dreams, Bol Bachchan) and now Akshay Kumar, the girl is finding herself in every senior actor's wish-list.

'Rockstar' (2011)
Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri
The nature of love is the theme of director Imtiaz Ali's work, and he explores its universality—in such films as 'Jab We Met' (2007) and 'Love Aaj Kal' (2009)—in unique fashion. The feelings he captures are at once grounded in common experience and as fresh and revelatory as the first time one has them.
The rock band film, an old staple in the West, has translated well in Hindi cinema with such recent films as 'Rock On!!' (2008) and 'London Dreams' (2009), but while that genre revolves around the relationships of bandmates, 'Rockstar' is different in that it is completely a love story. It is a modern-day 'Devdas' of separated lovers who destroy themselves with longing that can never be fulfilled.

Southern actress Asin, who has done commercial films in Bollywood like 'Ghajini', 'London Dreams' and 'Ready', is actually looking out for a performance-oriented role in mainstream films.

Ayesha Takia was said to have taken a break from movies after her marriage to restaurateur Farhan Azmi, but the actress is now set to return to Bollywood with Nagesh Kukunoor’s next film Mod.
Mod is based on the Taiwanese film Keeping Watch and sees Ayesha Takia paired opposite Rannvijay Singh. Mod is director Nagesh Kukunoor’s first love story after films such as Aashayein, 8×10 Tasveer and Bombay to Bangkok.
Nagesh Kukunoor told the media why he decided to make a love story, “I never wanted to do love stories as I always believed there was nothing really new to say, considering we see so many love stories being made every year. But when I saw a Taiwanese film Keeping Watch at Afff, where I was a member of the jury, I was amazed. I wanted to take the same premise and set it in India. So I went ahead and bought the rights.
