JODHAA AKBAR continues to make news. Last week, it was about its release date, which was shifted from 25th January to 15th February. Now itâs about the length. Reportedly, Ashutosh Gowariker and UTV have decided to trim the film and to get it right, theyâve decided to chop off two songs from the narrative. All this to keep the length in check.
âItâs completely untrue,â Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV sets the record straight, âThere are five songs in the film and weâre retaining each of them. Seriously, we donât know what the final length of the film will be, but we arenât deleting any songs for sure. In fact, Ashu is yet to take a call on its length.â
Meanwhile, UTV has signed a 2-film deal with Sohail Khanâs production company. MR. & MRS. KHANNA, starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor, as also another film, slightly smaller in budget, will be made by Sohail and UTV jointly. Await the official announcement!

Speculation is rife that Aditya Chopra has pencilled Shahid Kapur for two major films. In fact, the producer and actor met recently to discuss these projects. Reportedly, the first project will be helmed by Anurag Singh, who has been an associate of Aditya Chopra for a while now.
Shahid doesnât deny that he did meet Adi, but is tight-lipped about what actually transpired. âWeâre still in talks. I wonât deny that he has offered films to me, but it wouldnât be right to comment on it till everything is finalized. Adi is out of town and a clear picture will only emerge once heâs back,â Shahid tells me.
Incidentally, Shahid is not on a signing spree despite giving a success in JAB WE MET. In fact, the choosy and intelligent actor has just signed one project after JAB WE MET -- to be directed by Ken Ghosh and produced by UTV.

It looks like Delhi and Chandni Chowk have become a favourite haunting-ground for self-searching explorers of the film industry. Is Akshay Kumar finally getting a dream to come true? For long he has felt that his own success- story has the potential to be made into a movie. And now it looks like he's getting his way.
Nikhil Advani's new action-adventure-comedy weirdly entitled Chandni Chowk To China (yup, that's the title which has finally been chosen) has distinct shades of autobiography in its plotting. The film's nimble-footed hero is a cook who goes to China and encounters further adventures. By now it's part of Akshay Kumar's folklore that he served as a cook in Bangkok and earned his way back to Mumbai to make cinematic history.
The rasoi-angle isn't the only similarity between the guy from Delhi (Akshay still has his father's family in the Capital) and the hero from Chandni Chowk. Both are also martial-arts practitioners.
Also if you look at the film's leading lady Deepika Padukone she's tall, slim and regal lookingâ¦like Akshay's wife Twinkle. A coincidence? Akshay has always liked women who are tall and in-charge.
One reason why China was chosen for Nikhil's film is to tap Akshay's long-cherished yearning for a full-on martial arts film. Not having done a full action film for over seven years, Akshay has undergone training on a form of martial arts known as Wushu for Nikhil's film.
"It's a very intricate art practiced on screen by Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Everyone knows Akshay is a big Jackie Chan fan. This is his chance to get even. Akshay plays a cook who goes to China. But I can't say if Chandni Chowk To China is autobiographical. My writer Sridhar Raghavan (Johnny Gaddar director Sriram's brother) wrote an original screenplay. If he was inspired by Akshay's life he'll know better," laughs Nikhil on his return from China where he was recently finalizing the locations.
Chandni Chown To China starts shooting on 22 February in various parts of China including Shanghai. Nikhil wraps up by May. About the corny title, the director laughs, "We earlier called our film Made In China. But we all felt Chandni Chowk To China suits the mood better. We've a song with that title in the film. So why not?"

Filmmaker Raj Kumar Santoshi would be making a film based on Dr Asghar Wajahat's book âJis Lahore Nahin Dekhiya, O Jamian He Nahinâ.
The book, whose story is based on partition has a strong message of peaceful co-existence and has already been adapted into a successful play, having completed many shows.
Santoshi, who in the past has given us hard-hitting films like Ghayal, Ghatak, Damini and The Legend of Bhagat Singh apparently, had meetings with Dr Asghar Wajahat to discuss his plans, as he was really impressed by the book.
The movie would start rolling once Santoshi is done with his other big budget films like Ashoka and Ramayana.
Meanwhile Santoshiâs next release Halla Bol starring Ajay Devgan, Vidya Balan and Pankaj Kapur in lead roles releases on Jan 11 next year.

This has got be the funniest thing in the sequel of Golmaal. The half-Indian half-Afghani Christian-Muslim, Celina Jaitley, plays a traditional
Tamilian housewife in Rohit Shetty's Phir Golmaal. Draped in a nine-yard sari with flowers in her hair and the 'Aiyyo Appas' on her lips,
Celina seems to have come a long way from her bikini-in-the-water avatar in Feroz Khan's Janasheen.
"I guess that's true. For a long time I could not find my bearings in Mumbai. I was too busy sorting out my life. And the opportunities just slipped past
me. Then I had to take what was coming my way," explains Celina. But seeing Celina draped in a sari requires a lot of imaginative power. "Why do
you say that?" she laughs. "Trust me, at heart and in my home I'm not at all the hot siren that I'm made out to be. Getting into a sari is no big deal for
me." However, the Tamilian accent, as she plays Shreyas Talpade's wife in Phir Golmaal, mustnât have been easy to master. "I can't reveal
details. But yes watch what I've done in this film. People will be shocked."
Errâ¦.with Kareena Kapoor playing the main lead, does Celina stand a chance occupying decent space? "It's not a walk-on part, I can tell you that
much. And we're both cast opposite two of the leading men in the film." However, on location in Goa, it was Tusshar Kapoor and not any of her
other co-stars that Celina bonded with.
