"Indian Johnny Depp - Darshan Kumar"

For all the girls who go weak-kneed at the sight of Johnny Depp, they might just be soon falling head over heels in love Darshan Kumar. The actor who won the hearts of all in MARY KOM opposite Priyanka Chopra recently did a shoot wherein he looks a lot like the Hollywood hunk.

The actor who will next be seeing in NH10 with Anushka Sharma was recently shot by Atul Kasbekar’s assistant, and the resultant uncanny resemblance with Depp, staggered all!

When asked about it, Darshan Kumar says, “Since my schooling years to wherever I have worked there have been instances where people have complimented me saying I look like Johnny Depp. I frankly, always took it with a pinch of salt, after all, Johnny Depp is one of the best actors in the world, his repertoire of work is formidable and his looks are well, much appreciated. But then when I met Atul Sir, he too said the same thing, and somehow that meant a lot to me. So we all got together planning a photo shoot, and while at it, his assistant Abhijeet Parker got an idea! He made me try shooting in a look that was very close to that of Depps, in one of his shoots. We tried it and what you see is the outcome!”

Truly, the resemblance is uncanny!  And yet, all Dharshan has to say is, “It is a great to be compared to the best, but of course, it would much rather be known as Darshan Kumar. If God willing, I get famous, I would rather be famous with my own name!”

Ajay Devgn supports Mumbai Police

Ajay Devgn supports Mumbai Police- for rehabilitation and education of begging families in Mumbai

Our very own Singham and cinema icon Ajay Devgn has always been at the forefront of noble causes like 'Support the Girl Child', donated cars for Mumbai Police Patrolling and has always contributed to the society in his own inimitable way.

Well! this time the actor has gone a step ahead and was seen leading from the front yet again by supporting the Mumbai Police in their 'Daan Utsav' campaign for rehabilitation of begging families and education of their children.

This noble cause was inaugurated recently at an event at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Mumbai with Devgn's presence. Last year the Mumbai Police had organized the celebration of Daan Utsav at Birla Matoshri Hall for supporting the cause of elderly citizens in association with Dignity Foundation.

This year the objective is to start a long term initiative to help the children and women of Faase Pardhi and Waghri tribes who are begging on the streets of South Mumbai.

Ajay Devgn was seen supporting the cause and talking about the long term objectives like creating a beggar free zone in South Mumbai by rehabilitating children/families begging on the street. Children will be rehabilitated through non-profit organizations, so that they can pursue education and are given optimum opportunities and a holistic growth via Salaam Bank Trust & Sahaara Charitable Society.

Well we hope not only the film fraternity but citizens of India too join and support this noble cause post this news.

“I would love to cast Harshvardhan” Satish Kaushik

“I would love to cast Harshvardhan” Satish Kaushik

Harshvardhan Deo is making ripples in the industry with his impactful performance in his debut filmJigariyaa.  The budding star has not just audience and the critics hooked on but has left a lasting impression on a number of industry heavyweights.

Ace director and actor Satish Kaushik was bowled over by Harsh’s performance and said “He has got a beautiful voice, a very good screen presence. I think he has very strong personality, very rugged personality on screen. I would actually love to cast him because of his presence, because of his voice. I wish him all the luck for Jigariyaa and I am sure people will like him, love him and he will have a great future in movies.”

The Ra. One director Anubhav Sinha, who saw the film, was also very impressed with Harshvardhan’s performance. The director said, “He looks very fresh, very new, very unpretentious and very promising.  I think Harshvardhan’s biggest best point as an actor is that he is more interested in the character than the actor.”

Last but not far from the least, celebrated director-writer Tigmanshu Dhulia also also sawJigariyaa and could not stop raving about it.  He said, “Trailer was very promising and so was the film. He looks like a guy not in control, which is nice.”

Alia Bhatt tops as McAfee’s Most Sensational Celebrity

‘Genius of the year’, Alia Bhatt tops as McAfee’s Most Sensational Celebrity

Aamir Khan and Priyanka Chopra give chase at 2nd and 3rd positions respectively;

McAfee’s annual study finds searching for popular celebrities online can lead to identity theft.

India, Oct 13 – In its eighth edition this year, McAfee’s Most Sensational Celebrity survey has found Bollywood’s Alia Bhatt topping the charts in Indian cyberspace. As part of the program, McAfee researched popular culture’s most famous people to reveal the riskiest celebrity across the web and unveil the 2014 rendition of its ‘Most Sensational Celebrity’ research.  Alia trumps Priyanka Chopra, who topped the list in 2013.

As cybercriminals exploit consumers’ need to be updated on celebrity news, McAfee’s survey highlights the pitfalls of the trend. These criminals capitalize on the public’s fascination to lure them to sites loaded with malware, which in turn allows them to steal passwords and personal information. This year, searching for a ‘celebrity name’ coupled with search terms like ‘wallpaper’, ‘videos’, ‘free download’, ‘hot pictures’, ‘selfie’ and ‘internet memes’ have resulted in instances of malware-laden sites.

Commenting on the findings of the study, Venkat Krishnapur, Vice-President of Engineering- Consumer, Business Group, McAfee India Centre, McAfee, Part of Intel Security said, “By including the names of popular celebrities in a website's search tags, consumers are completely unaware of the security risks that exist which can severely infect their computers, devices and steal personal data. Cybercriminals are consistently looking for ways to take advantage of consumer interest around new movies, TV shows, as well as the latest celebrity-driven trends. For e.g. the selfie craze that has gripped Bollywood, the ice bucket challenge videos or internet memes created for sheer fun.”

The top 10 celebrities from this year’s study with the highest percentages of risk in Indian cyberspace are:

Rank	Celebrity
1	From ‘Student of the year’ to ‘Genius of the year’, Alia Bhatt has had the nation going crazy either with her movies, jokes and memes. She ranks 1st on the India's Most Sensational Celebrity list with 81 infected search results.
2	Debuting the list at 2nd position this year, Aamir Khan, whose upcoming movie PK’s poster went viral and elicited a roaring response on social media. Known to be a perfectionist, he has 78 malicious sites to his name.
3	Bollywood’s most popular actress on Twitter, Priyanka Chopra, the international star with her music career and her awe-striking performance in 'Mary Kom’, ranks 3rd in the list with 69 infected sites.
4	Sharing the 4th spot are the King Khans of Bollywood: Shahrukh Khan, who has made a splash with his ‘Happy New Year’ promos and Salman Khan, who is enjoying the success of his blockbuster movie ‘Kick’. They both share 64 malware infected search results to their name.
5	Named the most desirable woman, Katrina Kaif who sizzles in her movie ‘Bang Bang’ with her moves stands at 5th position. With 63 malicious websites, her leaked photos with Ranbir Kapoor still make the rounds of the internet.
6	Starring in last year’s romantic superhit film ‘Aashiqui 2’, Shradha Kapoor has been in the news for her chemistry with ‘Haider’ co-star Shahid Kapoor. She ranks 6th on the list, with 62 infected search results.
7	At 7th position with 61 infected sites is Ranveer Singh, the master of antics, who is always grabbing eyeballs for his product endorsements, alleged affair with Deepika Padukone and his famous handlebar moustache.
8	This year’s much awaited movie’ ‘Happy New Year’ actress, Deepika Padukone, who has made headlines of her twitter outburst, ranks 8th with 60 malicious sites.
9	Hrithik Roshan’s lover boy looks and well chiselled body makes him a mass favourite. With his popularity steadily increasing in cyber space for his movie - Bang Bang dare challenge videos, he ranks 9th as the most sensational celebrity online with 59 infected search results.
10	Ranking 10th is Sonakshi Sinha, who has shot a pop song ‘Desi Kalakaar’ with rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh. The `Dabangg’ girl has 58 malware-ridden websites to her name.

Actresses outnumber actors in being potentially risky targets online

Alia Bhatt (No. 1), Priyanka Chopra (No. 3), Katrina Kaif (No. 5), Shradha Kapoor (No. 6), Deepika Padukone (No. 8) and Sonakshi Sinha (No. 10) list in the top 10 Most Sensational Celebrity list.

Debut of the bollywood young brigade

This year’s Most Sensational Celebrity list sees the debut of b-town newbies - Alia Bhatt, Shradha Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha.

But first, let's take a SELFIE

Bollywood celebs have jumped on the selfie bandwagon. Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Hrithik Roshan, Sonakshi Sinha, in the stated order have the most infected sites with the search term ‘selfie’.

Just for laughs, meme style

Alia Bhatt (No. 1) rules as the most used meme character in Bollywood.

From one year to another

Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar & Sunny Leone have all dropped out of this year’s list (in 2013 they ranked No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8,  and No. 9 respectively).

How You Can Stay Protected:

·         Beware of clicking on third party links. You should access content directly from official websites of content providers. For example, visit ABC.com to find Jimmy Kimmel’s latest episodes.

·         Ensure you use web protection that will notify you of risky sites or links before you visit them. Stick to official news sites for breaking news.

• Don’t download videos from suspect sites. This should be common sense, but it bears repeating: don’t download anything from a website you don’t trust — especially video. Most news clips you’d want to see can easily be found on official video sites and don’t require you to download anything.

·         “Free downloads” are by far the highest virus-prone search term. Anyone searching for videos or files to download should be careful as not to unleash unsafe content such as malware onto their computers.

• Always use password protection on your phone and other mobile devices. If you don’t and your phone is lost or stolen, anyone who picks up the device could have access to your personal information online.

• Don’t “log in” or provide other information: If you receive a message, text or email or visit a third-party website that asks for your information—credit card, email, home address, Facebook login, or other information—to grant access to an exclusive story, don’t give it out. Such requests are a common tactic for phishing that could lead to identity theft.

• Search online using a tool, such as SiteAdvisor software, which protects users from malicious websites and browser exploits. A complimentary version of SiteAdvisor software can be downloaded at www.siteadvisor.com.

·         Web surfers can also visit the McAfee Facebook page at www.facebook.com/mcafee and McAfee Security Advice Center for information on the latest consumer threats, and tips for living safe online.

·         If you do decide to search for information on a major event or celebrity in the news, make sure your entire household’s devices have protection, such as McAfee LiveSafe™ service, which protects all devices from your PCs, Macs, and tablets to your smartphone. It also includes malware detection software, McAfee® Mobile Security, to protect your smartphone or tablet from all types of malware.

Survey Methodology

The study was conducted using McAfee® SiteAdvisor® site ratings to determine which sites are risky to search when attached to celebrity names on the Web and calculates an overall risk percentage. McAfee SiteAdvisor technology protects users from malicious websites and browser exploits. SiteAdvisor technology tests and rates nearly every Internet website it finds, and uses red, yellow and green icons to indicate the website’s risk level. Ratings are created by using patented advanced technology to conduct automated website tests and works with Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

The terms “Alia Bhatt wallpaper,” “Alia Bhatt videos,”  “Alia Bhatt free downloads,” “Alia Bhatt hot pictures,” “Alia Bhatt selfie,” and “Alia Bhatt internet memes” were used to search for Alia Bhatt, and replicated for each celebrity on the list. The results indicated the percentage of risk of running into online threats designed to steal personal information. Fans clicking on these risky sites and downloading files including photos and videos become more vulnerable to downloading viruses and malware.

Raj Kumar Hirani turns choreographer for P.K.

Raj Kumar Hirani turns choreographer for Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma

For one of the songs in his awaited upcoming film, PK, Raj Kumar Hirani wanted a very different signature move.

The director was keen to have a non filmy choreographer for this particular song and they went on an extensive search to get someone unusual on board for this.

Artists from France, Bangalore and other places were auditioned but Raju was not satisfied with the groove of the signature move.

Even people from the cast and crew were given a chance to try but to no solution.

Kiran Rao who was on set once also tried making a cool move but it did not fit the feel of the song.

Apart from that, even Anushka Sharma tried her hands at it.

Finally, it was Raj Kumar Hirani, who came up with a cool signature move for the song.

Bosco – Ceasar then came on board and choreographed the entire song in the same mood.

The song is a light mood song and the makers are very happy with the way it has turned out to look.

अली जफ़र ने अपनी सिंगिंग से सेट पर सबका दिल बहलाया।

Ranveer ali Parineeti and Govinda got along extremely well and would chat around the bonfire which was put on every night post pack-up.  These sessions used to go on till early morning. Ali used to sing live for them and the rest of the cast would join in...they bonded over old classics as Ali sung unplugged versions of the songsAli say's "Shad is a lovely guy to work with and a music buff like myself. Ranvir is a great sport and a costar. Parineeti loves to song herself and was an ideal singing partner. So does Govinda. So luckily we had a mix of people who connected through music on some other level and I believe none of us would be able to forget the moments we all shared during the shooting of the film and also after wrap ups. Sometimes we would be up and singing till dawn. And again return to set to shoot in a few hours. I still carry the guitar Shad gifted me"

SONALI CABLE GOES VIRAL!

The makers of SONALI CABLE have made a series of short videos that are going viral on the internet, with names like ‘KLPD’, ‘Kissing Burji’, ‘Buffering’… and what not… these videos are getting viewed in lakhs all across the globe, an innovative promotion, and we are certainly impressed with their thinking.

When asked Rohan Sippy, the producer of the film how this whole thing came about, he said, “We wanted to people to get what the film is about, like we say in SONALI CABLE,’Sonali kabhi offline nahi jati!’ we wanted that to come across in these videos. I think Amritpal Singh Bindra and Anand Tiwari who have made these videos have done a fabulous job!”

These videos are mostly about how in todays generation internet is something that youngsters cannot live without, “you read it in papers all the time a kid recently got violent cause his mother stopped his wifi connection, and we wanted to let people know that SONALI CABLE, will aide in all the ‘desperate’ times by giving you internet access of course.” Said Sippy with his tongue firmly in his cheek. “The idea was to appeal to the youth, so we have put small motifs and now these videos, that will make them relate to the film!” Now, that’s how it is done!

Sonali Cable, starring Rhea Chakraborty, Ali Fazal, Raghav Juyal "CrockRoaxz" and Anupam Kher, written and directed by Charudutt Acharya, produced by Ramesh Sippy, Rohan Sippy, Roopa de Choudhury and Kamia Mulhotra under the banner of Ramesh Sippy Entertainment in association with BombayMania Production Pvt.

Jee Bhar Ke Jee Le.

JP Dutta's daughter Nidhi Dutta's debut will be called Jee Bhar Ke Jee Le.

Nidhi Dutta took her father, JP Dutta, by surprise when she informed him about her aspirations to act. It was while she was still serving as the seventh assistant during the making of UMRAO JAAN, that she finally told her father that she has been dreaming of facing the camera for many long years, just like her mother Bindiya Goswami Dutta.

"At the age of two I was dancing to ‘Chaiya Chaiya’ in a diaper," she says, "I've been a drama queen all my life, the lakta-jhatkas come easy," Nidhi says with pride.

Nidhi's debut film Jee Bhar Ke Jee Le, which is being produced by her father under a new youth-centric banner, JP Gene, is directed by Binoy Gandhi. "Papa took the muhurat shot which had me speaking a line from his film Refugee. And he was on the sets everyday. Once, during an awkward romantic moment in front of the camera, he nudged me aside and stepped in as my proxy. Ajit (Sodhi), who plays the lead in the film (Nafisa Ali's son) was told to caress my cheek, the poor guy just froze," she laughs.

When asked Nidhi about her co-star, she says, "One day I was talking about the film to Ajit who I've known since we were kids, and he shown interest in it. He was signed by dad for Border 2 and when that got stalled, it was decided that he'd be launched with this film," reveals Nidhi, who entered the picture by offering to speak the girl's lines during a script reading session. "I play a travel blogger in this film which is all about friendship and love."

Nidhi had to lose 20 kilos before she faced the camera, and she was working out in the gym even after she broke her leg, six days before the film started. It is a road trip through Mumbai, Goa, Hampi and Romania. Nidhi says the shoot was like a fairy tale even though the second schedule started with her passing out on the sets. "I had high fever," she explains.

The film is gearing up for a 2015 release. She further adds, "Papa always tells me to do what I love and this is something I love. In the 100 years of cinema, dadaji, Dad and Mom together have been around for 62 years. It's great to take the legacy forward.” When asked if she is will be exclusive to JP films only, the pretty lass clarified, "I'm open to films from other banners too."

J P Gene's Jee Bhar Ke Jee Le in association with Sunday Talkies, directed by Binoy Gandhi, starring, Nidhi Dutta and Ajit Sodhi in lead, and Sagarika Ghatge, Vivan Bathena, Taha Shah, Diganth Manchale, Sabina Sheema amongst others will be a 2015 release.
