Akshay Kumar to be seen with 'Superman' Brandon Routh in Kambakth Ishq

Sajid Nadiadwala is known to be among the most lavish producers in Bollywood, who doesn't believe in compromising on the quality of his films. For his forthcoming Akshay Kumar- Kareena Kapoor starrer Kambakth Ishq, Sajid has managed to rope in some really big names from Hollywood. While its common knowledge that action superstar Sylvester Stallone and hottie Denise Richards would be seen in Kambakth Ishq, Sajid has gone ahead and even got Brandon Routh to play a role in his film. For the uninitiated, Brandon rose to popularity after he played the role of Superman in the latest 'Superman' film Superman Returns. In fact, Brandon just finished shooting an extensive action sequence for Kambakth Ishq, with none other than Akshay Kumar - the Khiladi of Bollywood. A source present on the sets reveals, "Akshay and Brandon had to perform a stunt scene together. The shot involved them to jump from a height of a tall building... It was the most crucial scene of the film and probably the most dangerous one too." Akshay did not allow Sajid to use a duplicate. Brandon was impressed with Akshay after watching him perform such a dangerous feat and he too insisted on doing the scene himself. Bollywood's own Khiladi and the Superman Returns star even exchanged tips on fitness, action, and martial arts. What's more, even debutante director Sabir Khan received some encouraging words of praise from Brandon Routh. If Kambakth Ishq turns out to be a huge success, we are sure to see many Hollywood stars make an appearance in Hindi films in the days to come

"Sohail is the wittiest of the three Khans" - Katrina Kaif

Download image as wallpaper 'Goddess of Luck', 'Woman with a golden touch', 'Lucky Charm' - Quite a few titles have been bestowed upon Katrina Kaif ever since she has delivered a string of successful films. A true 'superstar' today, it was imperative that she appears on 'Sajid Superstars'. Here is what she had to share on the show: - The world waits with a bated breath to know whether she is single or indeed seeing someone (read Salman Khan). She was asked the obvious question on the show and she confessed - (hold your breath) - that she is still single. Well, before jumping from your seats, there is more to come. She tactically replied that as per her, a person is bound to be single until he/she is unmarried! Got the logic! - In her career so far, she has delivered maximum number of hits with Akshay Kumar. As a 'jodi' they have been terrific and come with almost cent percent success rate. Katrina speaks about Akshay, his professionalism and his dedication in front of the camera. She also speaks about Vipul Shah, the man who gave her a challenging role in Namastey London and the biggest success of her career - Singh Is Kinng. - No wonder, her scene from Namastey London (where she meets Riteish Deshmukh) is the chosen one for her best scene ever. The worst came from Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. Any guesses for the chosen one here. - Her Hindi has always been under the scanner ever since she set her sight on Bollywood. Malaika Arora asked her in Hindi that when she would begin conversing with people in Hindi. Katrina's reply to that? - "I talk in Hindi only with my staff; however I didn't know even you could talk in Hindi"! Ahem ahem! - Sajid Khan didn't stop though from smiling away in a corner. He gifted Katrina a book on rapid course for Hindi speaking! - When Katrina is around, a question around Salman is inevitable. This time around three Khans came into picture - Sohail, Arbaaz and of course Salman. On being asked about the wittiest of the three Khans, Sohail stood at the top of the heap. Reason? As per Katrina, Sohail is genuinely funny and has everyone around him in splits. Arbaaz came second due to his dry sense of humor. As for Salman, well, find it out on the show! - Getting nostalgic about her initial years in the world of cinema, Katrina spoke about her film down south, 'Malliswari', the film she had done post the debacle of Boom and before the success of Sarkar. She talks about her good working experience with Venkatesh in the film and how she wasn't really worried about the film's language (Telugu) and mainly wanted to gain from the experience! - She did confess though that Race continues to have a special place in her heart since it made a difference to her career. The twists and turns in the narrative made it an exciting ride for her. - Getting naughty, Arjun Rampal asked Katrina about the writer(s) of Trishul, Deewar and Sholay. We all know that Salim-Javed have written these films. But did Katrina know this? To see all of this and lot more, tune in to 'Sajid Superstars' at 2000 hrs IST, Saturday on the newly launched channel Colors!

Bollywood increases a Polish newspaper's sales

A Polish newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, has found a new innovative way to increase its sales. They began offering a Bollywood DVD every Saturday at a discounted price to its readers, which has resulted in the increase in the sales by about 50,000 copies. Bollywood films have been selling like hot cakes in Poland, their favourite star being Shah Rukh Khan. The craze for Bollywood films and SRK started with the release of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in January 2005. Since then, his films like Kal Ho Naa Ho, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Dil Se etc. have been topping the list. One has to buy the weekend issue of the Gazeta Wyborcza and pay an extra of $2.50 in order to take home a Bollywood film with Polish subtitles. Apparently, the coming weekend would see Aamir Khan's Fanaa being given out, the climax of which was shot at the Tatra Mountains in Poland. JJ Singh, president of the Indo-Polish Chamber of Commerce said that Bollywood is the buzzword in Poland. The craze is so much that a new restaurant named 'Bollywood Lounge' has opened out there, which offers Indian cuisine with a dash of Bollywood dance and music, which apparently has been attracting many customers. Bollywood is on a rise in Poland and definitely seems like a strong potential market for Hindi films.
