Ranbir Kapoor is now a Rs. 12 crore actor

His fee is rising as fast as his fame

Four-film-old Ranbir Kapoor has reportedly signed his latest film, to be directed by Imtiaz Ali, for a fee of Rs. 12 crore.

The film will be produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision.

Ranbir is on a high following his two back-to-back hits, “Wake Up Sid” and “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani”, and is being wooed by several top filmmakers.

The actor started off by making Rs. 50 lakh for “Saawariya”. “Wake Up Sid” and “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani” reportedly fetched him Rs. 8 crore each.

This latest figure of Rs. 12 crore puts him in Bollywood’s top league.

No wonder this amount has encouraged him to refuse films with even the likes of Mani Ratnam. Does it mean less work and more money for the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ in India?

He’ll be stepping into Mogambo’s shoes in ‘Mr. India 2’

Producer Boney Kapoor has confirmed that Salman Khan will be playing the villain’s role in “Mr. India 2”. He refused to comment any further as the script is still to be finalized.

For the first time in his career, Salman will play a villain on the lines of Amrish Puri, whose portrayal of Mogambo in “Mr. India” is iconic.

“Mr. India 2” marks Sridevi’s comeback and will also star Anil Kapoor. The film will be directed by Anees Bazmee.
Salman and Boney share a very good bond. In fact, they got along very well during the making of their film “Wanted”. So when Salman heard that Boney was planning a sequel to “Mr. India”, he expressed a desire to star in the film.

Boney told Anees about casting Salman in the film, and Anees could not think of anything better than the role of the unforgettable Mogambo.

Salman is only too happy to play a negative character in the film as it will have a completely different look.

According to the buzz, Salman will be playing a terrorist who wants to rule over India and the story will be about how Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and their gang try to free the country with the help of an invention made by Anil Kapoor.

Blake Lively is hosting SNL tomorrow

Blake Lively is hosting SNL tomorrow, and the two current promos lay out what could happen on the show: Silly, goofy Samberg-iness,or just awkward talk about How Darn Pretty the host is. Please go with option A:

And not option B:

And remember, Rihanna is not allowed to talk.

I’m marginally optimistic about the episode because Lively was pretty charming and silly on Jimmy Fallon. She even did some Riverdancing! Part of being a good host is being a good sport — think Anne Hathaway last year — so the segment gives me a glimmer of hope.

Kareena Kapoor offered more money than Aishwarya Rai

Kareena Kapoor crosses Aishwarya Rai as she become the highest paid female actor in Bollywood. Kareena Kapoor for has been offered a staggering Rs 10 crore to star in the third installment of the ‘Golmaal’ series.

According to reports, Kareena Kapoor is going to take home the largest ever amount offered to an actress for Rohit Shetty`s ‘Golmaal 3’. Sources suggest that if she does take up the offer, she will replace Aishwarya Rai as the highest paid female actor.

A source told,“Post ‘Jab We Met’, Kareena`s success graph has risen even more. She was apparently paid Rs 2.5 crore for ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ and little more for ‘Golmaal 2’. Rohit`s film went on to become a hit and the director wants to repeat the cast for his next that will take the story forward. Till now, Kareena Kapoor has never been a part of any sequel. So to make her sign this film Rohit has offered Rs10 crore”.

No one knows that Kareena Kapoor would take up the offer but she has surely shaken Aishwarya Rai’s top spot.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif was born on July 16th 1984. She is one of eight siblings who are all girls. Her mother is of Caucasian-British decent and her father who is originally from Kashmir, India is now also a Britain Native.

Katrina Kaif was raised mostly in Hawaii and started modeling at the age of 14 in a jewelry campaign, which turned into a career and her spending most of her time in London modeling for various companies.

She was discovered by film maker Kaizad Gustad while she was modeling and she landed a role in the Bollywood film "Boom", getting her first big break in the film industry.

After arriving in India she was flooded with modeling contracts due to her innocent looking face, hour glass figure and gorgeous look. The offers came from companies like LG, Cola, Favicol and Lakme which is the commercial that got her noticed. Most of her early work was with photographer Atul Kasbekar.

She wasn't affected by moving from country to country and stated that no matter where you are from the bottom line is that everyone wants to be loved respected and cared for.

Unlike other fellow outsiders of India Katrina Kaif had no problems getting a visa to stay there. After public criticized by boyfriend Salman Khan, she is currently perfecting her Hindi and despite being linguistically challenged at first with the native tongue, she was still offered roles in Bollywood films. Katrina Kaif also takes dance lessons furthering her assimilation into the Bollywood culture.

Critics were not crazy about her first film "Boom" and audiences felt the same way. She went on to make two other Telegu films "Malliswari" and "Pidugu" which finally got her noticed. She made Rs.70 Lakhs from "Malliswari" making her one of the highest paid actresses during a south Indian film debut.

Akshay-Katrina's steamy song 'Gale Lag Ja'

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif share blockbuster chemistry in the De Dana Dan steamy number 'Gale Lag Ja'. But for all the eager fans hoping to soak-in the fireworks, there's a twist in the tale. "I am keeping the song away for a little time. It will come in the theatres maybe after three or four days. It's my bonus," says director Priyadarshan who is very confident that the film will strike Platinum at the Box Office.

De Dana Dan is a very important film for Akshay considering that his last four releases of the year, Chandni Chowk To China, Tasveer 8X10, Kambakkht Ishq and Blue have failed to add luster to his career. But the positive reports carried by De Dana Dan may just help him end the year on a high. "I believe I'm a part of Akshay's success. And I strongly believe that he has always stood with me and I've paid him back. This time also I'm 100% sure that I'll pay him back. I have had only one actor like him in my life and that is Mohanlal. He never asked me any time what are you doing with me. He never even asked me what the story of the film was. When someone trusts you like that then you have to pay it back. I have tried hard to do that and I hope God will be with me," says Priyadarshan.

De Dana Dan releases in theatres across the world today.

'Veer' has been a 20-year dream of Salman Khan

Mumbai, Nov 23 (IANS) This dream has been a long time coming. When on Jan 22 the epic film "Veer" hits theatres, Bollywood actor Salman Khan would have fulfilled his dream of 20 years. The movie's first look will be unveiled Friday with "De Dana Dan".

"'Veer' has been a 20-year dream of Salman Khan. His involvement in this particular project is tremendous especially because he lived with the script for so long. It's like a dream come true for him," said a source close to the actor in a press statement.

The much-talked about film is about the bravery of a Pindari soldier and speaks of bravery exemplifying the courage of every oppressed Indian fighting for justice and independence. Directed by Anil Sharma, the film features Salman in never seen before avatar along with newcomer Zarine Khan.

Former Miss UK Lisa Lazarus too plays an important role in the film that also stars Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff along with Sohail Khan and Bharat Dabholkar.

"Salman has gone all out for this film. He has worked hard on his look for 'Veer' - right from the styling to his toned physique. The film has turned out great much to everyone's delight and is touted as Salman Khan's greatest work," said the source.

Produced by Vijay Galani, the film will be realeased worldwide by Eros International.

Galani has roped in Sajid Wajid for the music and Oscar winner Gulzar for the lyrics. This is composer duo's first historical film.

Kareena Kapoor: KURBAAN is one of the finest films ever

Less than 10 days remain for the release of KURBAAN and Kareena Kapoor is going all out to make sure that the film is seen and heard. Leaving the disappointing box office performance of MAIN AURR MRS KHANNA behind, she is strongly supporting her director Rensil D'Silva who, according to her, is one of the most sensible and sorted film makers and human beings that she has come across.

CHECK OUT: Saif & Kareena's 3-city tour for KURBAAN!

"I always had a lot of faith in it and now as the film is completed, I am all the more convinced that it was a great decision on my part to work with him, I have a lot of faith in his skills since he has managed to make a film which is one of the finest and most sensible affairs in recent times. He has made sure that there is everything from thrills, emotions, smiles, tears and love in KURBAAN", says Kareena who also managed to share a very good personal rapport with the first timer who shot to fame after writing RANG DE BASANTI.

"He is the kind of person with whom I can discuss any topic under the sun. Our wavelength matches. He has turned out to be a good friend", she smiles as she gets ready to be seen with real life partner Saif Ali Khan more than a year and a half after TASHAN.

Amrita Rao has no problems with pre-marital sex

Amrita Rao pre-marital sex

Amrita Rao opens up like never before and even throws light on topics like pre-marital sex in an exclusive interview in this issue of The Man. "I don't see any harm in people getting physical in a relationship before marriage. If there is romance, there is bound to be some level of physical intimacy between partners. As long as both partners are comfortable and they take precautions it should be their decision to take the relationship to that level before marriage or not," says the actress who was once upon a time known for her coy image.

Amrita Rao features on the cover page of this month's issue of The Man and one look at Known for experimenting with her looks, Amrita is seen sporting an off-shoulder black dress. The chic red hand-bag only compliments her dress while her new hairdo adds to her sex-appeal.

Amrita Rao looks super-sexy and she surely knows how to pose once the arc-lights are turned on. Amrita Rao, the Perfect Bride in Sooraj Barjatya's Vivah and just when everyone thought that she could only play the simple Indian girl, she stunned one and all through her glamorous new make-over in films like My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves and Short Kut- The Con Is On.

Emraan Hashmi will be seen in a new avatar in ‘Tum Mile’

One of Bollywood's most bankable stars, Emraan Hashmi, says people have contantly tried to pull him down. He also believes the new film "Tum Mile" will present him in a new avatar, having mostly essayed roles with shades of grey.

"In the kind of industry I am, every creative person has a judgement to make about someone else's performance. After doing a movie, I may think that I have come up with my best act, but others may think otherwise. You can't help it," shrugs Emraan, 30.

"This is something that has happened ever since I made my debut with 'Footpath'. I went on to deliver successful films practically every year with 'Murder', 'Zeher' and 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' followed by 'Aksar' and 'Gangster'. Still people have tried to pull me down," Emraan told IANS in an interview.

He is sitting pretty on the back to back success of "Raaz - The Mystery Continues" and "Jannat". A year earlier, he came up with one of the best ever acts of his career in "Awarapan".

And now he is about to be seen in "Tum Mile", his most expensive film till date that will release on Nov 13. It co-stars Soha Ali Khan.

"It's a welcome change to have absolutely no grey shades in my character," says Emraan.

He is positive that after the release of the film, he would be looked upon as someone who can also show a sensitive side.

"For that opportunity, I am thankful to my director Kunal Deshmukh. If not for him, I would have continued playing the kind of roles I have been successful in. In fact, when Kunal spoke to me about the role, I was sceptical because I have never played a full-on romantic guy before."

He isn't overtly bothered about certain negative statements about him. "Honestly, I don't even look aside to see who is around for competition. There is nothing wrong if people choose to reserve certain remarks for me.

"To each his own since I have to basically live up to my own judgement and fulfil the expectations of those who matter," he says.

He has his fair share of admirers and supporters though.

"Yes, there are some out there who have been quite supportive throughout my career," he agrees. "My goal is to keep delivering successful solo hero films and also do an occasional multi-hero film if I have an equal part. This is why I agreed to do Milan Luthria's 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai'."

While he has been doing well as an actor after spending more than half a decade in the industry, does he have any plans to turn producer?

"I don't want to be in the hot seat," shoots Emraan in a tone of mock horror. "Mukeshji (Bhatt) tells me that being a producer is the toughest job in the world. I agree with him since he has decades of filmmaking experience.

"Today I am happy being an actor. Any aspirations to be producer are best kept on hold for a later stage."

Aamir thrills '3 Idiots' composer and lyricist

Aamir Khan is known to walk the path less travelled. And has done so again by choosing to release the music of his upcoming film "3 Idiots" (pictured above) online and getting the parents of composer Shantanu Moitra and lyricist Swanand Kirkire to grace the event.

Though he is not the producer or the director, Aamir was instrumental in organising the music release of the much awaited film.

Moitra and Kirkire are touched by the actor's gesture to call their parents instead of a Bollywood biggie to launch the music.

"It was Aamir's idea to release the music online and get it released by my and Shantanu's parents. This is something that is not done usually. We felt so nice," Kirkire told IANS

This is the first time that Kirkire, who has written lyrics for films like "Eklavya: The Royal Guard", "Lage Raho Munna Bhai", "Parineeta" and "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi", has worked for an Aamir starrer.

Moitra, too, was overwhelmed by the 44-year-old's gesture and said it was not only an honour for him, but for his parents too.

"My mother had a small accident few days before the launch and I was in two minds about taking her from Delhi to Mumbai. But Aamir messaged saying that on occasions like these it is great if we can have our parents with us so I should get them flown. He didn't have to but he still messaged," Moitra told IANS over the phone.

"It was a great honour for my parents to stand amidst such stars and launch their child's work. I was happy but it was also a very happy moment for my parents to see their son do well," he added.

Moitra has also scored music for films like "Khoya Khoya Chand", "Lage Raho Munna Bhai", "Yahaan" and "Parineeta" among others.

Based on Chetan Bhagat's bestseller "Five Point Someone", "3 Idiots" also stars Kareena Kapoor as well as R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi. It is slated for a Dec 25 release.

‘De Dana Dan’ song has been kept under wraps

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif will feature in a sizzling rain song in their upcoming film “De Dana Dan”.

They will follow in the footsteps of some A-list Bollywood stars who have done hot rain numbers. However, while such songs in the past have been shown in the promos of the films concerened, this particular number, “Gale Lag Ja”, has been kept under wraps.

It seems Akshay was against the idea of showing the song in the promo even if it meant depriving the film of the immense publicity this song’s teaser would have brought.

For Katrina this song is a milestone. It is a dream of every Bollywood actress to feature in a well-picturised rain song and Katrina has got the opportunity with hit co-star Akshay opposite her.

In the song, Katrina is featured in chiffon saris and sexy designer blouses while Akshay is dressed in shirts.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani's vidio 2009

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

It’s a love story packed with lots of laughs: The tall and trendy couple Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif seemed to have quite some chemistry on the promos we have seen for this movie ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’.

The movie promises to be one of the wackiest romantic comedies to date, with all the love and fun. The movie is Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film has music by Pritam and action by Tinu Verma.

Mr. Santoshi is back with bang : Rajkumar Santoshi's only comedy so far has been ‘Andaz Apna Apna’, and that movie had attained a cult status. Santoshi is best known for hard-hitting films such as ‘Damini’, ‘Lajja’ & ‘Halla Bol’.

He hastens to clarify that his latest film is very different from his first comedy film. "Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani is nothing like ‘Andaz Apna Apna’.

That was a pure comedy and this one is essentially romance interspersed with comedy. So, it would be good if people don't expect an out- and- out laugh riot when they go to watch this film.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (Theatrical Trailer) *Katrina & Ranbir* (2009)

Hollywood 's "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" could take a nearly $100 million bite from movie theater box offices when it debuts this weekend. "New Moon," which debuts in the United States and Canada on Friday, is independent studio Summit Entertainment's sequel to last year's "Twilight," which surpassed expectations by making $69.6 million in its first weekend.

Jeff Bock, box office analyst with tracking firm Exhibitor Relations Co Inc, also believes the film could make nearly $100 million, and a source close to Summit said it could rake in nearly $85 million.

The film is slated to debut in 4,024 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, which is not a record but is far more than the roughly 3,500 theaters in which major releases normally open.





If "New Moon" reaches the $100 million mark, it will approach the record $102 million for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," which debuted in November 2005 and sits atop the charts as the biggest opening weekends outside Hollywood's blockbuster-heavy summer season of May to August.
