Kahaani again for Vidya?

Vidya has a couple of scenes in Bobby Jasoos which strike a cord with Kahaani.

Vidya Balan garnered a lot of appreciation for her performance in Kahaani will be seen giving an ode to the film through her upcoming release Bobby Jasoos. 

While both the films are very different from each other a few glimpse in the film are reminiscent to Kahaani.

Vidya was seen as a pregnant woman in the Kahaani. Again in Bobby Jasoos Vidya will be seen essaying the role of a pregnant women as one of her key disguises. 

Even while she was getting into costume for this shot, Vidya was actively talking about her experience while she was shooting Kahaani.

There is also a chase scene, where Vidya is running in the narrow by lanes of Hyderabad to solve a case which is very similar to the chase sequence in Kahaani. The scene will instantly remind audiences of Kahaani for the way it has been it has been picturized and shot

Kahaani is very closed to Vidya's heart.

Vidya is currently busy promoting Bobby Jasoos has been actively participating in the marketing meetings. During one of the meetings Vidya mentioned that she is keen to visit Kolkata for promotions.

Hush hush time for Nidhi Dutta and Ajit Sodhi

J P Dutta’s daughter Nidhi Dutta and Nafisa Ali son Ajit Sodhi are gearing up for their Bollywood debut by hitting the gym together as it is a norm these days. 

The co-stars bond very well and were apparently busy chatting instead of working out in the gym. But this was not acceptable to the gym instructor and hence they got a warning to be serious towards their work outs rather than fooling around.

Nidhi Dutta and Ajit Sodhi will be seen together in J P Gene’s production 1 along with Sagarika Ghatge, Taaha Shah and Diganth Manchale.

J P Gene is JP Dutta's new production company which will focus on young films and target younger audiences.

HERO MAESTRO LUCKY RIDERS PARTY WITH MAESTRO STAR RANBIR KAPOOR!

100 LUCKY WINNERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY MEET & GREET HERO BRAND AMBASSADOR RANBIR 

Mumbai, June 23, 2014: It was a dream-come-true for 100 boys-at-heart from all over the country as they got to meet their favourite Hero, Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, here on Monday.

These 100 men got this golden opportunity, having emerged as winners of the “Hero Maestro Contest”, initiated by Hero MotoCorp Ltd. (HMCL), the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer.

The month-long contest revolved around Hero’s popular scooter Maestro – which is specifically targeted at men. The contest was conducted at two-levels - on-ground, through Maestro test rides and purchases across 30 cities around the country; and also on-line, through posting of unique ‘selfies’ depicting the tagline of Maestro on Hero’s – “Such a boy thing”. The contestants were required to post their selfies on the either the Maestro micro site, or on Hero MotoCorp Facebook page, Twitter handle or on Instagram.

The contest got an overwhelming response from male riders across the country with thousands of entries received in a month’s time, out of which these 100 lucky winners were selected to meet and party with Ranbir Kapoor – the Hero brand ambassador.

Hero Maestro – the masculine scooter - exhibits the male attitude and is a celebration of a boy’s life. The contest was aligned to this philosophy. All the winning boys got an opportunity to interact with their favorite superstar Ranbir today. We at Hero are glad to create wonderful memories through this platform that will stay with the boys forever.

Ranbir Kapoor said “I am delighted to be a part of this event which gave me an opportunity to closely interact with 100 Hero Maestro fans. I am glad that Hero MotoCorp created this platform for me to meet fans from across the country and share their experiences. This is indeed a memorable event for me as much as for them.”

In a very short span of time since its launch, Hero Maestro has gone onto become a highly popular scooter amongst male users across the country. In fact, with the other Hero Scooter Pleasure – which interestingly stands for Girls’ fun & freedom, the two Hero scooters occupy two of the three best-selling scooter slots in the country. Ranbir Kapoor features in the much-awarded popular campaign of Maestro with the tagline “Such a boy thing”.

Ramesh Sippy and Hema Malini to work together after 39 years.

Legendary director, Ramesh Sippy will be directing once again, a film called Shimla Mirchi starring Hema Malini and Rajkummar Rao. 

Actress opposite Rajkummar Rao is yet to finalise. The film goes on the floor in August and is a sweet, romantic story with its quirky twists.

Ramesh Sippy’s cult classic Sholay was released 39 years back in 1975, when he created the character of Basanti  with his favourite actress Hema Malini. Ramesh Sippy is going to work with Hema malini after Sholay in Shimla Mirchi and like his other films, the first letter of his next film is also with the letter "S".

Ramesh Sippy always chose to make diverse films right through his career in spite of he being a blockbuster director, to begin with mature love story Andaz, to comedy Seeta aur Geeta, to an action adventure Sholay, to slick action Shaan to family drama with Shakti to romantic love story Saagar.

Rajkummar Rao opted out of film to be made on Chetan Bhagat's Revolution 2020 for Ramesh Sippy's upcoming Shimla Mirchi.

Huma Qureshi lends her voice for the LGBT

Huma Qureshi has lent her voice to a spread social awareness for the LGBT community.

The actress is going to be part of a poetic campaign called "Ishq ki Ijaazat" which will launch online and spread awareness.

The initiate is not an angry statement against the Article 377. But a dialogue which implores, nudges and converses.

Huma gracefully agreed to be a part of this project and did wonderful justice to the words with her impeccable diction and assertive yet tender voice. She rendered poetry as effortlessly.

"Ishq ki Ijaazat" is a poetic campaign to urge people to bring love out in the open. It is not about sexual preferences. It is about a basic right that every human being deserves – to be able to love with dignity, and not prejudice.

"Ishq ki Ijaazat" is a film poem by Satyanshu and Devanshu Singh – the brother duo who wrote the poetry in Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Udaan' (2010)

Huma confirms the news and adds, “I believe everyone should have the freedom to choose for themselves."

Creature 3D release postpones to 12th september

Creature 3D release postpones to 12th september

Vikram Bhatt’s Creature 3D, starring Bipasha Basu and Pakistani actor Imran Abbas, has hit another roadblock. The release date of the film has been postponed to September 12 from August 22^nd as the producer of the film believes that August 22^nd is an unlucky date.

According to sources close to the film “ Bhushan Kumar doesn’t want anything to go wrong with a project as ambitious as Creature 3D. This has also given more time to Vikram Bhatt for his post- production work.”

The director, Vikram Bhatt , says that the delay of the film is due to the VFX work. “It’s a mega budget film for both Bhushan and me. We had to push forward the release by two weeks because Ajay Devgan’s Singham Returns opens on August 15^th and we didn’t want to come within a week of its release.”
