The post-production of Fashion is not yet complete. First Priyanka had a very bad throat because of which she had to cancel the dubbing of Fashion. And now the film industry's workers' strike has put further time pressure on Madhur's precious film. Says Madhur, "Our release is October 29, that's Wednesday, so we got a long Diwali weekend for our film. There's no way we could cancel. However the workers' strike brought everything to a grinding halt." Madhur feels films on release should have been exempted from the strike. "Films like Fashion, EMI and Golmaal Returns which are all releasing during Diwali have huge stakes. We can't afford to fall back. So maybe the strike should not be applicable to films on release. However, people like Mahesh Bhatt and Ashok Pundit worked hard at a solution to the strike. The situation does seem worrisome for Madhur Bhandarkar, what with the strike and Priyanka's bad throat, which actually started with all the screaming she did for Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey. Says Madhur, "Priyanka did dub a bit on Thursday after her voice improved. But now she can't until the strike is over. I'm ready to do the dubbing with all the artistes in different studios to save time. But the strike has to be over." Apparently, Priyanka is pitching her naturalistic performance in Fashion as a Chandigarh girl aspiring to be a super-model at a National award. Says Madhur, "I wouldn't like to comment on that yet. That's a decision I'll leave to the jury. But Priyanka has connected with emotions in Fashion that she has never shown on screen before. And she's a perfectionist."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 4 Oct 2008 | 10:00 am I identify a lot with Abhishek: AishwaryaBollywood actress Aishwarya Rai can't stop gushing about her husband Abhishek Bachchan and says they share a special bond and she identifies a lot with him.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 4 Oct 2008 | 10:00 am Wishing Soha Ali Khan a very Happy BirthdayMany of today's Bollywood heroines have portrayed the role of a banker with ease and elan.

The moment he would be through with the release of Karzzzz, Himesh would jump straight into Kajraare, the release date of which has been finalized. The film would be hitting the screens on February 13, just a little more than 100 days after Karzzzz. Says a source close to Himesh, "Shooting for Kajraare has been quite smooth and the film has progressed quite fast. T-Series, which has produced both Karzzzz as well as Kajraare, has been gung ho about both the films, and is ready with the plans for the latter's release. You would soon hear a lot more about Kajraare which is now all set to arrive on February 13." Announced in November last year and kick started in the month of April 2008, Kajraare is special since it sees the Bollywood debut of Mona Laizza, a popular Pakistani TV actress. She plays the lead opposite Himesh in the film, which is touted as an Indo-Pak love story. Apparently, around 70 girls were checked for the role and Mona Laizza was zeroed in. Shot in Lahore, Morocco and Europe, Kajraare is a love story where Himesh would be seen as a lawyer. Needless to say, the film would have music by Himesh Reshammiya himself. The film is directed by Pooja Bhatt who hasn't yet seen box office success in each of her three directed ventures - Paap, Holiday and Dhokha. One hopes though that Himesh's mass appeal coupled with T-Series marketing manages to pull through Kajraare, which is touted to be Pooja's first out and out hardcore commercial entertainer. Coming back to Himesh Reshammiya, in 2009 he would also be seen in Mudh Mudh Ke Na Dekkh Mudh Mudh Ke. Also, there is a probability of A Love Issshtory and Hhey Gujju releasing in the same year. "My eyes are set on Karzzzz for the moment. Everyone has gone all out for the film," says Himesh Reshammiya, "With the grace of God, first the response to the music and now the one for the talkie promos has been great as well and the movie in general is generating positive vibes. I can't wait for October 17 to arrive."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 3 Oct 2008 | 11:25 am
