The actress arrived in Mumbai a couple of days ago from Malaysia where she was invited as a guest speaker at the Global Brand Forum 2008, which was held in Kuala Lumpur last week. Mallika was part of an expert panel where she shared her thoughts & comments with personalities like renowned Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone. The actress impressed everyone present at the discussion with her insightful & original views about the exciting challenges and opportunities facing the movie business and the impact of Indian films in brands and business. The discussion was moderated by none other than celebrated international TV interviewer Riz Khan. Says a delighted Mallika, "It was a huge surprise for me to be invited to the Global Brand Forum and share the same platform with someone as great as Oliver Stone. I asked myself- What do we have in common? I guess for better or for worse we both have our own brands - and as Oliver Stone says - people either love or hate his films, but certainly have a strong opinion about him and his films. I guess it's pretty much the same with me - there are young people around the country who have embraced me, and on the other hand there are lots of people in the country and in the film industry who think I'm too controversial, radical etc.for their liking" "He is a genius who has achieved so much and I've just begun my tough climb. But to share the same stage with someone who's made JFK, Platoon, Natural Born Killers and U Turn - All I can say is Wow!!!", she says visibly excited. It may be recalled that only recently, Mallika even won the 2008 Renaissance Artist Award at the 16th Annual Diversity Awards held at the Universal City in California. Looks like the sun is indeed shining bright for Madam Sherawat!!!Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Dec 2008 | 5:03 pm Nominations for the V.

Bring them together and you have what one calls a winning formula. Films like Iqbal and Lagaan with cricket as the central theme are still fresh in our minds. Similarly who can forget the IPL extravaganza last year where Bollywood made its presence felt in large numbers on the cricket field? It is this very winning formula of combining cricket and cinema that the makers of Victory seem to banking on. Starring Harman Baweja and Amrita Rao in lead roles along with Anupam Kher, Dilip Tahil and Gulshan Grover, Victory (directed by Ajit Pal) tells the story of a small town boy, who like millions of Indians, dreams of making it to the Indian cricket team. How he achieves this dream forms the crux of the story. However, apart from the lead cast, it's the presence of the who's who of the cricketing world that forms the highlight of the film. So get ready to see superstars like Brett Lee, Mike Hussey, Simon Katich, Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Sanath Jayasuriya, Chaminda Vaas, Muralitharan, Graema Smith sweat it out with Harman Baweja on the cricket field. As for all you Indian cricket fans, don't fret as yet because you have the likes of Harbhajan Singh, Dinesh Karthik, R.P.Singh, Yusuf Pathan and Praveen Kumar making an appearance in the film. With the coming together of so many cricketers in one film, Harman surely must be hoping that this film starts his 'Victory' march in Bollywood sooner than later.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Dec 2008 | 4:03 pm Ashutosh Kaushik denies going for 'Big Brother'Dismissing rumours that he is going to participate in the Britain-based reality show 'Big Brother', 'Bigg Boss' winner Ashutosh Kaushik has said he is very irritated by constant calls and messages regarding the same.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 17 Dec 2008 | 3:30 pm Shah Rukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu!A few years back, RGV's Factory came up with a film called Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon starring Antra Mali in the lead role. While the film sank without a trace, people still remember the wacky title for obvious reasons. Now after Madhuri Dixit, it's Shah Rukh Khan whose name features in the title of not one but two films in the making. While one of them is the Vinay Pathak starrer SRK (note SRK stands for Shivaji Rao Khote in this case), the other one is even more funnier- the film is called Shah Rukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu and is directed by none other than actor-director Makrand Deshpande, Bollywood Hungama spoke to Makrand to find out what the film is all about? "Shah Rukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu is about a young girl who sells flowers on the road. One day, a car stops by next to her and she hears a voice that says you are beautiful. That voice comes from none other than superstar Shah Rukh Khan. What happens to her after that experience is what the film talks about." So how did he come up with a title like Shah Rukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu? "See Shah Rukh Khan is someone who has an enigmatic personality. I have been a fan of Shah Rukh since long. He has a certain impact on people when he meets them. And when he tells someone that you are beautiful, it surely means a lot. I am sure every girl would want to hear Shah Rukh Khan calling her beautiful." Coming to the casting of the film, who all star in it? "The whole cast comprises of theatre actors and the young flower-selling girl is played by Ritika. I too would be seen in a small role and yes Shah Rukh also makes an appearance in the film," says Makrand. While Shah Rukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu is nearing completion and should release in the first quarter of 2009, Makrand Deshpande has already completed directing yet another film called Dream Man. Dream Man is a fantasy film set against the backdrop of Bollywood and has Kay Kay Menon playing multiple roles.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 17 Dec 2008 | 3:16 pm Adhyayan-Kangna chemistry visible in 'Soniyo'Click above for more movie stills This is what love can do to you. If you act in a film together, especially if you are shown as a romantic couple, the frames start looking more believable, the sequences lively and performances natural. Of course, there is an entire perception factor involved as well and since we have been made aware that Adhyayan Suman and Kangna Ranaut are a couple in real life as well, one tends to look at their mushy antics with a biased approach. Of course, it has it's repercussions as well. Since one tends to get over critical about the entire affair (pun unintended), a minor slip here or there in the performance could lead to complete breakdown of a scene, something that happened when Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai could hardly heat up the proceedings in Kyun? Ho Gaya Naa. However, Adhyayan and Kangna do not let an audience down when they come together in 'Soniyo', the first ever song in which the two are seen together. For the film Raaz - The Mystery Continues, the two are shown as a couple and their chemistry is pretty much visible in each of the frames. What one observes in this one minute clipping is pure love and affection that they demonstrate for each other. Nothing over the top, no gesture screaming of 'Oh, how much we love each other', no body-play at work that may possibly take away the focus. Instead, what one sees is sheer love in the eyes of the two youngsters who seem to have accepted each other as soul mates. Though there are glimpses of a pensive looking Emraan Hashmi getting into his painting act and in turn getting horrified about what next is in store in Kangna's life, for a change you want to go back to Adhyayan-Kangna love story instead of concentrating on Emraan's brooding expressions. We will wait for your next music video, Emraan! As per Mukesh Bhatt, the song reminds him of the evergreen 'Jab Koi Baat Bigad Jaaye' which was composed for his Jurm years back. Of course, one can't blame him since 'Soniyo' does come with lyrics that go as 'Tu Dede Mera Saath Thaam Le Haath Chahe Jo Bhi Ho Baat, Tu Bas De De Mera Saath'. Well, though Adhyayan lip syncs to these words in 'Soniyo', this could well be the call of Kangna who is herself looking for gaining peace for herself in the current times. And of course, any song or person that could make Kangna smile is worth recognition. After all, looking at the set of movies that she has done in the past, it is not everyday that the pretty young girl moves out of her intense persona and enjoys the goodies offered by life. 'Soniyo' and Adhyayan truly make her do so though!Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Dec 2008 | 3:11 pm Telugu actress died of stab injuries, says autopsy reportTelugu film actress Bhargavi, who was found dead with her her live-in partner in her apartment here Tuesday, died of stab injuries, according to the autopsy report.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 17 Dec 2008 | 3:03 pm Pakistani Rock Band cancels album release in India, Pakistan post Mumbai attacksRoxen, Pakistan's leading rock band, has delayed the launch of their much-awaited album in India in the light of the recent attacks on Mumbai. Roxen, currently signed with an Indian audio label, had lined up the release of their debut album in India on December 15. It is said that the album features the original rock version of the successful 'Tera Mera Rishta Purana' track from Mukesh Bhatt's 2007 release, Awarapan. The band was scheduled to fly to Mumbai for the promotion of the release and concurrently work on some film assignments that they have reportedly signed up. The band's lead vocalist, Mustafa Zahid ('Tera Mera Rishta' / 'To Phir Aao'), revealed, "It's not the right time for us to release an album knowing what India has gone through. I would love to take my band across cities in India to do a Peace show and involve members of the film and music community from India with whom I have worked with in the past but that seems difficult at the moment. Therefore, we have delayed the release of the album in India and Pakistan and will announce a re-scheduled date very soon." He added, "I would like to add that it's not the nations that hate each other but certain political faces and agencies. Terrorists have no religion and it's sad for them to think that jannat is a result of jihad." On a lighter note, he added, "Time is the best healer. Everything will be fine, as both the countries have a purana rishta with each other!"Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Dec 2008 | 2:20 pm Akshay, Deepika have a blast with kids at the POGO Amazing Kids Awards '08There is no denying the fact that Akshay Kumar has a huge fan following all over the world and across different age-groups but among his biggest fans are the 'bachcha log' of this country. Akshay 'Khiladi' Kumar was invited as the special guest at the recently held POGO Amazing Kids Awards 2008 and needless to say the kids went berserk. Akshay was present along with his co-star Deepika Padukone as a part of the promotions of their upcoming flick Chandni Chowk To China. In keeping with the theme of the film, Akshay gave an electrifying action-packed performance along with the Shaolin Monks (kids from the famous Shaolin Temple). Knowing Akshay's fondness for martial arts, the superstar surely must have had a ball of a time kicking some butt with the tiny tots. Actress Deepika Padukone, who was not supposed to perform, joined the kids on stage for an impromptu jig and must say the kids couldn't have asked for more. Speaking on the occasion Monica Tata, Vice President and Deputy Manager Entertainment Networks, South Asia, Turner International India Private Limited (TIIPL) said, "This is our fifth year of POGO Amazing Kids Awards and we are glad to have created India's first kids' television award that voices the choice of kids, as well as recognizes and rewards talent of such young and brilliant kids." She also added, "In addition, POGO's signature event continues to draw Bollywood's biggest stars, and this year, we are happy to collaborate with Warner Bros' movie Chandni Chowk To China. The movie effectively demonstrates our 'Dream Bigger' theme, and the presence of admired celebrities such as Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone at our awards made the evening even more memorable." Nikhil Advani, director of Chandni Chowk To China commented on his association with POGO, "My daughter loves POGO, it is the only channel that runs in my house and hence a tie-up with POGO is the only way I can see my movie promos on TV."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 17 Dec 2008 | 1:55 pm Malayalam film industry will help develop Arabian cinema: MammoottyMalayalam film superstar Mammootty, who has just returned from a two-day Dubai trip, Wednesday said that he had assured the full support of the Malayalam film industry to develop the Arabian cinema industry.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 17 Dec 2008 | 1:01 pm
