'Dhak Dhak' Queen Madhuri Dixit has joined the show and stakes have gone further up from here. There would be seven shows in USA over next few days and as is pretty much expected by now (looking at the response in Toronto and Trinidad), they are all already sold out. And yes, Madhuri would be featuring in each of these shows. - Talking about Madhuri, the young ones on the show are already smitten by her charm and grace. That she is gorgeous is hardly a secret but her friendly and cool persona has impressed everyone out there. No wonder, Abhishek, Riteish, Vishal, and Shekhar can't help being mighty impressed by her demeanor. - Further publicity for the tour is on in full swing in LA. There was almost a daylong press conference held in the city and to everyone's mighty surprise, apart from (obvious) arrival of Indian media, there were also dozens of US based media people present for covering the event. Believe it or not but in there were channel representatives from Afghanistan as well as Persia. Yes, there were Indians galore as well (quite a few belonging to 'Desi' channels and web portals) but what was heartening was to see Fox channel running a special on Unforgettable as well. Videos from the press conference and the tour were beamed by an hour on the channel with international repute! No wonder, LA is rightly termed, as an international center of entertainment - While there is quite some 'khushi' in the Unforgettable camp, there is a hint of 'gham' as well! Amitabh Bachchan is ill and has been down with flu. It is widely suspected that Shekhar is the reason behind that! Reason? He caught flu the moment he landed in Toronto and while he has more or less recovered, seemingly it has been passed on to Big B! Last one heard, everyone is laughing around and keeping a distance from the composer!!! - Flu means that Amitabh Bachchan has been out of circulation for two days now. So while all the youngsters are having fun and attending press conferences and cracking jokes and roaming around, the Senior B is keeping all precautions to be in his best shape before the mega event on the night of 26th July. Being grounded by Mrs. Jaya Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, Big B has his laptop for company and is keeping himself busy blogging with his fans and followers around the globe! - Meanwhile, if Madhuri Dixit has made nostalgia come alive all over again for her US fans, Aishwarya Rai is turning out to be the perfect representation of the Indian film industry. She is enjoying a pleasant double role here. While for a wide section she is representing India, for quite a few Americans she is being treated as 'one of them' due to her presence in International cinema for last so many years. She is being queried about the release of the latest installment of 'The Pink Panther' and other impending Hollywood projects. However, not to be carried away and respecting the troupe she is a part of; Ash is sending out clear vibes that she is an Indian at heart and well demonstrated her priorities. - Going by the true spirit of 'chilling out', everyone went for the screening of 'The Dark Knight'. While Abhishek, Aishwarya and Riteish couldn't resist having a dekko at the film within a day of their landing at LA, Vishal and Shekhar went a day later! Once again, appreciation for the special effects and action in the film came for all around appreciation. - A lot happened in terms of Bollywood meeting Hollywood over the week gone by. While the team of 'Kambakth Ishq' can't top going gaga over Sylvester Stallone, the team of Unforgettable too had an encounter, which would be unforgettable for them in years to come. They came across face to face with Kevin Costner in the hotel where they all are staying. Costner was in town for the premier of his latest movie 'Swing Vote' and met everyone individually. He has been invited for the show and it has to be seen if he too gets bitten by the Bollywood big! - Those who visited Universal Studios to witness the shooting of 'Kambakth Ishq' were in for some surreal moments awaiting them. It was quite an experience to see Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor and the likes to be shooting on the sets of a Hollywood studio, something that is unprecedented. There were countless onlookers at the shoot was in progress. Later in the evening, Sabeer Khan (director of 'Kambakth Ishq') celebrated his birthday by taking Vishal, Shekhar, and Anvita (dialogue and lyrics writer of the film) for a private gathering in a Japanese gathering. Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna, Aftab Shivdasani, and the film's crew joined them as well. All of them have been extended an invitation for the show now! - On the personal front, even Vishal and Shekhar were in for some surreal moments as they got to spend some quality time with Madhuri Dixit all by themselves. The two were strolling around in a mall where they happened to see Madhuri as well. She, along with her husband, looked like a little lost in finding directions in the mall and was looking for a mall. This is when the composer duo came for her rescue (!) and bailed her out. Smiling ever since then, they haven't stopped gushing and blushing! Jokes apart, one facet of hers which has been managed to impress them both is her pleasant and chilled out nature. Not carrying any airs or starry tantrums around her, Madhuri stayed on to be humble-as-ever in her conversations! - Talking more about Madhuri, highlight of the evening of July 26 is going to be, what else, but the coming together of the Queen and Ash for the 'Dola Dola' number. Envisaged to be executed at a grand scale, everyone is looking out with a bated breath for this one performance. Looking at the response in Trinidad where maximum applause came for anything and everything which was pure Indian in nature and presentation, it won't be surprising if this Ismail Darbar composition goes to win accolades all over again. Stay tuned!Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 26 Jul 2008 | 2:37 pm Aparna Sen ready with Japanese WifeNational Award winning director Aparna Sens next film The Japanese Wife, starri...Source: India News | 26 Jul 2008 | 2:20 pm PNC files a complaint against Sunny Deol with IMPPAThere are times when things get serious and go out of hand. That's when bodies like Indian Motion Pictures and Producers Association (IMPPA) come into the picture. PNC filed a case with IMPPA against Sunny Deol as he failed to return the signing amount of Rs. 50 lakhs, for the film Aayega. When Bollywood Hungama spoke to Ram Kamal Mukherjee, Vice President-PNC, he said, "The Sunny Deol complaint is a standard industry one that we have lodged with the IMPPA. We would like to leave it with IMPPA, who are a very fair body to handle, find a solution, and resolve this situation for us. All we want is closure and an amicable refund of our money from Mr. Deol." Apparently, the film Aayega failed to take off due to reasons unknown. After which, PNC showed a couple of scripts to Sunny, which he didn't quite approve of. And since then, Sunny is reportedly not been communicating with PNC. Since Sunny is not in India, we spoke to his publicist Vijay Grover who refused to comment anything on this issue.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 26 Jul 2008 | 12:36 pm 'Taare Zameen Par' DVD release delayed abroad, Aamir sorryAamir Khan is happy that Walt Disney Studios has bought the DVD rights of his hit directorial debut 'Taare Zameen Par' in five countries, but has apologised to his fans abroad for the long time it will take for the DVD to hit the markets there.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 26 Jul 2008 | 12:31 pm Aamir says sorry for the delay - NDTV.com

"I'll be shooting the next Yashraj Film in New York. And Dad will be with me off and on. He'll also return to Mumbai for the Ganpati festival in August which is a big thing in our home. Otherwise, we'll both be in the US. I'll be shooting and he'll be doing his live concerts in various cities and joining me in New York whenever possible," reveals Neil. Neil in fact will make an effort to join Dad for his concerts whenever possible. "I always do that. I have been a part of my Dad's concerts from the time I was a kid. But this time it seems a little difficult because of my tight schedule. However I'll try my best." Neil even sings with Dad at the Nitin Mukesh concerts. "Yes. If I wasn't an actor I'd be a singer. I think I carry my notes rather well," Neil says modestly. Not allowed to reveal anything about the Yash Raj film Neil says, "It just such an honor to be finally doing a film for what both Dad and I consider our home banner. Dad is close a friend of Yash Uncle. I served as an assistant on some Yash Raj projects and dreamt that one day I'll be acting in a Yash Raj film. Now it's finally happening," says the young actor who's currently wrapping up Freeze with Bipasha Basu. Sighs Neil, "Freeze is taking longer than we thought. It's an out and out action film. And every action sequence is an elaborate process and time-consuming." Neil recently shot for six days with Kabeer for his film at Yash Raj Studios. "It was supposed to be the interiors of New York. I found myself being so comfortable with John and Katrina." John has in fact taken Neil under his wings. And when Bipasha was hesitant about accepting Freeze with Neil because of her professional seniority John convinced her it was the right thing to do. "God bless John," Neil's voice sparkles with mischief. But sorry, no girlfriend yet. "That's my next mission in life," he deadpans.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 26 Jul 2008 | 10:56 am "I just went blank" - Abhishek BachchanIt's amazing what a power of three can do to a film and the Tour. Yes, I am talking about the Bachchan family, Amitabh, Abhishek, and Aishwarya. First it was their film Sarkar Raj that grossed almost £400,000 in the U.K. and now it's their Unforgettable Tour which is selling like hot cakes in America. Not surprised to find out that all the shows are almost house full, I was more than curious to know Mr. Bachchan's recovery. So what if one of the power house took a back seat, we still had the power of three. This time it was Jayaji, Abhishek, and Aishwarya who took over the proceedings. Hours before his first live performance in L.A. Abhishek Bachchan sounds upbeat...and why not? He is having a great response from the Tour so far, is highly excited about his next release Drona, is desperate to perform in front of his audience in London and of course, boosting with happiness to see his dad, our very own Big B, fully recovered. All this and much more from Abhi in this exclusive chat from L.A with Bollywood Hungama's Devansh Patel. So, how's dad and what do the doctors say? Nothing, dad's good now. He is just at the rehearsals at the moment. He is back on his feet. He was fine yesterday and the day before. He had a bit of a cold but I forced him to stay in bed because I didn't want it to spread into something which was uncontrollable. So as a son, I demanded that he stay in his room and locked him up. Dad has got a tendency that he pushes himself so much but thankfully he is fine now. From Toronto to Trinidad to L.A. How's the journey been so far? The journey has been awesome. The reactions have been over-whelming. I never expected to see this kind of reaction. We were told that every centre, which was to host the show, was pretty much sold out except for the European leg because we haven't come there yet. But America is completely sold out. And all this is just so wonderful because when you get on to the stage and see the audiences reactions, you know that you are not performing for yourself but for them. This Tour is for the audiences and will always be. First the unforgettable Sarkar Raj collections in the U.K and then this Tour. Looks like London's the hot-spot for the Bachchan's. London is a wonderful city. A city that is very close to our hearts. We spent a lot of time there as a family during holidays, we've done a lot of work over there and we're very glad that we're going to be coming to London in August. One thing I've been saying to the members of the media that London is definitely going to be the biggest and the best. So we're saving that for the last. And what else are you doing in your spare time? Well, there isn't much spare time because of the nature of the Tour. The minute you reach a new destination, you first get into all this media and promotional activities after which it's just down to rehearsals. But it's also important for you to know that nobody is taking this Tour lightly. Everybody is working very hard to put up the best show. We do realize that it is a demanding schedule but the endeavor was to put up the biggest and the best show that we could possibly do and I believe we've got such a show on our hands. Could you recall one unforgettable incident from your Tour so far? I think that was when the first time I came on stage in Toronto, the minute the lights come on, I just went blank. I forgot everything and I had to pass through the audience. I froze because the audience was all around and they were jumping around trying to reach out and touch me and shouting slogans. I was totally blanked out. Then finally, my manager Mambo Sharma, who was also from the U.K pulled me and said, "Come on bro, you're on stage, move it". And I replied, "Wait a second. Let me enjoy this a bit more." But it was truly unforgettable. And the unforgettable moment was that I forgot everything. Mr. Bachchan on his blog stated that Trinidad is like a homecoming for you guys. When you were a five year old, you performed along side your dad on stage for the first time in Trinidad. So how far did that memory go? Dad used to do a track from his earlier film, Mr. Natwarlal, called, 'Mere paas aao mere dosto' in which he brought my sister and me on to the stage to introduce us to the audience. Now that's a good 25 to 27 years ago. So it was wonderful to go back to Trinidad and win the place in the audiences hearts where we had been before for such shows. Every Bollywood actor would once dream of dancing with Madhuri Dixit. Any plan? I have plans of dancing with Madhuriji on the stage in L.A tomorrow night. So the plan is working. For the first time while working, the Bachchans won't be missing each other. But do you miss the hot Indian food? No. Wizcraft made sure that wherever we travel, we were very well fed with our Indian ghar ka khaana. Can't miss that for sure! We are also hearing rumors that Amsterdam isn't going to be the last city where you guys will be wrapping the Tour on the August 29. What else is up the sleeve? Well, currently there are talks to do another show in Dusseldorf in Germany as they have requested us to do the show there. Plus, the second leg does start post September which will be in the Middle East, Far East and Australia and then we move on to Africa. So the Unforgettable Tour will be continuing. The exact dates though are not confirmed yet. Everyone is talking about Big B, Abhi and Ash on the stage together. The family is incomplete without Jayaji. Is she going to shake a leg too? She is on the Tour with us and she will be coming on stage and perform with us. You have to wait and see what song we perform on. Can't tell you now. After performing some hot numbers on stage in hot locales, how do you plan to cool yourself down after all this tiring schedule? To be very honest, when you're out there in the audience, you don't think about the heat or the exertion. Their love and support just carries you through every hurdle. You can't think of cooling yourself down. On my part, the minute this Tour gets over, I'll be back in Mumbai finishing my film Dostana and getting ready to release Drona which releases on October 2. How's the response of the Drona trailer been? Any news? It's a teaser trailer and the first look into the film Drona. The response has been really huge. On the Drona website, www.dronathefilm.in, the response has been fantastic. Even in the kind of fan mail I'm getting, people are loving the trailer which is great because we've worked hard on it and it's wonderful to see the audience liking the work we've done. We've also seen couple of exclusive pictures of you, John and Priyanka from Miami while filming Dostana. It's all looking great. Now that you're in the U.S, does it bring back the Dostana days? Well yeah. I was in Miami not too long ago shooting Dostana. We transited through Miami on our way to Trinidad and Tobago. It does bring back those good days. Any last message for your fans who are going to see you next month performing in London? To the audiences in London, we are willing to meet you all. We will hopefully make an unforgettable evening for you. It's a wonderful show and you can be rest assured of a lot of entertainment and a lot of variety. I'm really looking forward to perform at the O2 arena. Love you all.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 26 Jul 2008 | 10:37 am Shahid, Vidya friends no more?

It cuts like a knife. The editor's scissors snips and snaps through the masterly material on international terrorism demonstrating a tailor's tight command over size and measurement. In fact, editor Rajesh Singh's work is so exemplary in the first-half, you sort of brace yourself for a grander pow-wow in the second-half. Alas, the pace grace race and sheer velocity of the first-half slackens. Post-intermission the plot becomes one more two-heroes-fighting-the-baddies kind of good-evil fracas, which we've been watching from the time when villains were smugglers, then gangsters. Now tycoons in Saville Row suits. If God can wear Gucci, the devil won't be left behind. Terrorism goes international with a screenplay that's blessedly free of the amateurism that we have come to associate with cinema of terrorism in our country (ref: Ram Gopal Varma's recent odes to gangsterism). Lakhia and his co-writer Suresh Nair get the politics of terrorism dead-on. And weren't talking about just the head count. The virility of the Turkish outdoors lends a canny credence to the volatile goings-on. Ironically the hub of terrorist activities in Mission is a news channel whose head (Nikitin Dheer, a little too young to play a wizened tycoon) hobnobs with a bearded sunshaded terrorist (Shabbir Ahluwalia, looking larger-than-'laugh'). As a bespectacled journalist (Zayed Khan) and a wry ambassador of crude-will (Vivek Oberoi) take on the maddened media baron and the timorous terrorist, what emerges is a part-fascinating tale of terrorism during times of stressful satire. There are flashes of cute humor in the story, miraculously woven into the stern fabric of terrorism. The dialogues between 'George Bush' (a dead-ringer of an impersonator) and his aide are furiously funny. But some portions of the athletic run (someone or the other is constantly on the run, or getting run over) go over the top. When Shreya Saran playing Zayed's journalist wife is shown interviewing Omar Abdullah (talk about the enterprising spirit!) her cell phone keeps ringing, until the Omar (the stiffest politician turned actor I've seen since Amar Singh in another forgotten flick) politely asks her to take it. We can't. Take it, that is. Not such silly liberties in a film that seems to have researched international terrorism with some attention before plunging into the project. Lakhia knows how to handle vast crowds caught in terrifying insurgent violence. The canvas though crammed with exploding guns and ricocheting power games never loses its vision, momentum and humorâ¦the last quality getting at times completely out of hand, pun intended. In a bizarre sequence of comic violence, Vivek Oberoi wrenches off a victim's hands and uses them for handprint entry into a forbidden area of the terrorist headquarters, which believe it or not, is a TV channel. Journalists are constantly up in arms in this films about severed arms and explosive ammunitions. Zayed Khan as a newsreader in Aaj Tak clearly gets to cross all boundaries of duties. He tackles a half-naked terrorist on far-from-neutral ground and alongside makes room to shake a leg on the dance floor. There're two crucial sequences between the hero and the arch-villain where beefcake supplements the tension-filled dialogues and action. Boys will be boys, huh. The attempt to bring in conventional song-and-dance thingummys into a rigorous film on Islamic terrorism is not quite misplaced. Lakhia pulls off the blasting coup with energy and élan. Full credit goes to the film's super action sequences orchestrated by Javed & Aejaz. Seldom have we seen a terrain so rugged dangerous and ruthless being turned into a hotbed of hectic jinks. Amar Mohile's over-emphatic background score slams in the mood of danger and intrigue. The canvas encompassing an aerial and ground level expanse of action intrigue and terrorism, sweeps you into its point of view without resorting to overt distortions on the history of news headlines. Mission Istaanbul works big-time as an action thriller. The director creates a mood that swings dangerously between a Hardy Boys adventure and a Barkha Dutta-goes-to-the-war zone kind of news story. That Lakhia pulls it off with a near-effortless outflow of harnessed energy, is a miracle of sorts, orchestrated by a team that knows the difference between a scream and a dream. Nothing dreamy about this mission. The subplot about the estranged journalist-couple with a romantic song thrown in is as convincing as a devotional song in a beer bar. There's a time and 'pace' for everything. Mission Istaanbul gets it right most of the time. The boys are all fully clued into the mood. No beating around the Bush, George or otherwise for the actors. Zayed Khan shows remarkable restrain in the most outrageous of situations, like the one where Vivek and he share colas and kisses with a desi Lara Croft who may or may not be from the enemy camp. Zayed gets the twitch and the smirk just right. Vivek Oberoi with his flowing hair and full-on body language proves himself a pro at the pyrotechnics. He has a blast, even when the explosives are quiet once in a while. Not for the squeamish and certainly not for lovelorn dreamers Mission Istaanbul is a rollercoaster of action, terrorism and revenge that seldom pauses for breath.

After all, I was seated in the midst of some 200 odd children dressed in their crisp white uniform at the Green Lawns High School, Mumbai. The school which has given India one of the youngest and brightest actors- Darsheel Safary surely was all set for the big day as the cast and crew of Taare Zameen Par arrived to launch the DVD this morning. Even before the function actually commenced, Darsheel's class-mates and other students of the school were all excited waiting for the actors to arrive. Among the first to come were actors Tisca Chopra and Vipin Sharma (who played Darsheel's parents in the film). They were soon joined by young Sachet Engineer (who plays Darsheel's loving elder brother in the film). However, the kids in the audience went into frenzy when the bright shining star Darsheel Safary walked in wearing a blue T-shirt and a yellow and red jacket. Darsheel was his mischievous self and was seen enjoying himself signing autographs for his own school-mates. All eyes were now waiting for the man of the moment - Aamir Khan to make an appearance. The wait was not too long as Aamir arrived amidst a huge roar from the kids present. He was soon joined on the dais by the principal of the school Mrs. Bajaj and the cast and crew of the film including music composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Bhushan Kumar of T-Series. Speaking on the occasion, Aamir said, "It's a great feeling to have the whole Taare Zameen Par team here for the launch of the DVD. Usually, I am very famous for taking my own sweet time to do things. I released the DVD of Lagaan after 6 years; the Taare Zameen Par DVD has been launched in a little over 6 months, so I think that's an improvement." He even had special words of praise for main protagonist Darsheel Safary whom he called on the stage a vivacious brat, "Darsheel is a very happy child, full of life and vibrant. I am sure it's because of the way his parents and teachers have treated him. I must say Darsheel's principal Mrs. Bajaj has been extremely supportive and encouraging. The true test of any school is how happy the kids are and by the looks of it, the children here seem really happy", he said amidst a thunderous applause from the kids. Finally, it was time for the DVD to be launched and Aamir invited Darsheel's principal Mrs. Bajaj to do the honors. The DVD is a complete collector's delight and is a must have for every parent and child. After the official launch of the DVD, it was time for some fun and frolic as Aamir invited composers' Shankar- Ehsaan- Loy to sing a few songs. Shankar crooned the soulful number 'Maa' from TZP and Aamir along with Shankar later sang a few lines from 'Bum Bum Bole'. Aamir even invited 2 children from the audience who joined Shankar for a song. Finally just as Aamir was about to leave, the kids in the audience asked the 'Perfectionist' Khan to hum a few lines from the current smash hit 'Pappu Can't Dance Saala'. Aamir who initially was a little hesitant gave in to the kids demands and along with Shankar even crooned the hit number from 'Jaane Tuâ¦Ya Jaane Na'. As the event came to a close, a good time was had by one and all and the school kids surely wouldn't have felt like going back to their classrooms.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 25 Jul 2008 | 4:12 pm Akshay fights with WWE wrestlers in Singh Is KinngOn the small screen, Akshay 'Khiladi' Kumar may be seen encouraging 13 beautiful ladies to do some daredevil stunts in his new reality show Fear Factor- Khatron Ke Khiladi. However, when it comes to the big screen, Akki himself would be seen doing some really brave stunts and action scenes in his forthcoming release Singh Is Kinng. Bollywood's favorite action hero would be seen fighting with eight WWE wrestlers from Australia in an action sequence in Vipul Shah's Singh Is Kinng. Says director Anees Bazmee," We had called some eight wrestlers who all are from WWE. They were all very excited to be a part of Singh Is Kinng. Apart from shooting with Akshay, they all spoke to him at length about his films. I was surprised that few of them had even seen his films. They all shared a very good rapport with Akshay and there was this very famous wrestler called Chris who even taught him some tricks in arm-wrestling." Akshay sure has a special interest in WWE. A few years back, he had fought against famous the WWE wrestler 'The Undertaker' for a fight sequence in Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi. Now in Singh Is Kinng, he is seen fighting eight WWE wrestlers from Australia. One can't wait to see when Akshay will take on our very own- The Great Khali - (on screen of course). That would be one fight we can't wait to watch.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 25 Jul 2008 | 4:00 pm Mallika turns clapper-girl on the sets of Ugly Aur PagliTrust Madame Mallika Sherawat to do the unthinkable! The incident we are referring to took place on the sets of Mallika's forthcoming film Ugly Aur Pagli. It so happened that the team of Ugly Aur Pagli was shooting late in the night. However, the clapper-boy had to leave for the day. So to not let the shooting schedule get interrupted, Mallika came up with the idea of doing her own clap. And if you are thinking she was kidding or playing a prank, you are wrong. Madame Sherawat was dead serious about what she had just said. It was a long and drooling schedule but for the entire shoot that night, Mallika gave her own clap for all the scenes. Everyone on the sets was amazed to see how promptly she used to give the clap and start with her shot simultaneously. It was a bit difficult but Mallika did it with out any hitches and managed it quite well. Must say, this Bindaas babe sure knows how to multi-task.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 25 Jul 2008 | 3:53 pm Clips do lie! - Times of India

"I prefer to read books," he laughs on his one-day visit to India---Mumbai-Pune-Delhi, to be more precise. Vivek landed on Wednesday evening, rushed to Pune for a personal visit, rushed back to Mumbai on Thursday and flew to Delhi for the premiere of Mission Istaanbul, thereby putting an end to all speculative stories about dissociating himself from the film. Says Vivek, "I requested Tips to let me off just one day. Just for the Delhi premiere. Then I'm flying back to the join the unit. I'm really excited because I'll be seeing the complete film for the first time. Apu has shown me parts of the film. I've heard such great things about the film and my work." Vivek is currently shooting a hush-hush project with Kumar Taurani of Tips. It features Vivek with Sanjay Kapoor and Vivek has three leading ladies opposite him. But Vivek isn't allowed to talk about it. "Mr. Kumar Taurani of Tips has been treating me really well. I'm shooting for his film in South Africa. It's an action thriller directed by a guy called Kookie Gulati who's actually a fantastic music video director doing his first feature film. I love the script. Beyond that I'm not allowed to say anything about the film." But wasn't Vivek supposed to be in Mumbai for the Mission Istaanbul press conference? "Yes, I couldn't make it on the 19th. I was shooting in South Africa. You see Mission Istaanbul was supposed to be released two weeks earlier. I was going all-out promoting it for two months. I kept myself completely free for the promotions till the 11th. But when the film got postponed to July 28, I had no option but to join my unit in South Africa. I'm really excited by my character in Mission Istaanbul." Vivek has completely changed his look and hair for the Tips film. "Since I've to keep my look under wraps I've to wear a cap all the time. I joked with my producer Kumar Taurani. 'Normally actor producer ko topi pehnate hai. This time it's the other way around.' The last 24 hours was hectic for the actor. "I'm so tired," Vivek said on Wednesday night. "I've flown 23 hours. I've become the jet-setting guy."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 25 Jul 2008 | 12:57 pm
