Akshay's businessman friend lends his private jet for CC2C international premieres

Akshay Kumar's best friend, Toronto -based tycoon Ajay Virmani, has done it again. He has done for the star what only a childhood friend can do. Whipping out one of his multiple-jets from his aerial stable, Virmani has lent his luxury 17-seater jet to his friend and his team of Chandni Chowk To China to facilitate their whirlwind 4-city North American-British premieres beginning with Los Angeles on Thursday. More than the jet, which Virmani says belongs to Akshay anytime he wants it, it's the entirely revamped outer surface of the CC2C aircraft which carries the logo of the film Chandni Chowk To China and pictures of Deepika Padukone and Akshay Kumar, that has bowled Akshay over. Apparently when Akshay saw the way his friend's private aircraft had been modified to suit the posh premiere's purposes he broke down and wept. Says Virmani, "I really don't want to say much on this. But yes, Akshay did get very emotional when he saw what I had done to my jet. I think Chandni Chowk To China is a very special film. And lending one of my jets for this purpose is a very small token of my happiness. Out here in Toronto where I've my main business the film is so strong. People have been constantly calling to ask for passes to the premiere. I've been with Akshay from the time he was the Khiladi. I'm very proud of him." The CC2C 17-seater jet, which is part of Virmani's 30-plus fleet of private aircrafts, is a luxury aircraft meant for long-distance travel. It will carry Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna, Deepika Padukone, Nikhil Advani, Ajay Virmani and senior members of Warner Brothers' production from Los Angeles on Thursday night to New York and Toronto for the premieres there, followed by London. Akshay and Twinkle's son Aarav was unable to accompany his dad for the American and British premieres.

Check out Tusshar Kapoor's look as the typical 'Gujju Bhai' in Life Partner

After playing a mute guy in Golmaal Returns with aplomb, Tusshar Kapoor would now be seen as typical 'Gujju Bhai' in Rumi Jaffrey's Life Partner. Bollywood Hungama spoke to Tusshar who is all excited about this new avatar. "Yes...I am playing a typical 'Gujju' character called Bhavesh in my next film Life Partner. He comes from a very traditional Gujarati joint family. My character is based in South Africa and the story revolves around how this guy comes to India to get hitched via an arranged marriage", says Tusshar For the first time in his career, Tusshar would be seen sporting a moustache and playing a married guy. "Yes I get married mid-way through the film. As for the moustache, Rumi Jaffrey had a certain vision for the character and this is how he wanted it to be. Manish Malhotra has done my styling in the film", reveals Tusshar So what special efforts did he have to undertake to get the nuances of a Gujarati guy right? "See...more than the Gujarati aspect it was getting into the skin of the character that was the real challenge for me. I am totally opposite to the character I portray in Life Partner as I am someone who doesn't believe in arranged marriage. Moreover unlike Bhavesh, I am not at all traditional and conservative in my thought process. So I had to work on that aspect of the character all the more", says Tusshar with a smile. Life Partner has Tusshar paired opposite Prachi Desai who recently made a stunning debut in Rock On. Besides the duo, the film also stars Govinda, Fardeen Khan and Genelia D'Souza in lead roles. Shooting for this film (produced by Abbas-Mustan and directed by Rumi Jaffrey) is almost complete and the film should hit screens in the summer of 2009.

Wishing Hrithik Roshan a very happy Birthday

Friends... what's up with this month! Practically most of the stars (read 'superstars') have ascended from the heavens to be one amongst us and shine (quite literally) in Bollywood! Don't believe us? Then, well, here's the sample list: Right from the start of the year, one has witnessed the birthdays of legendary actors like Bipasha Basu, Vidya Balan, Koena Mitra, Irrfan Khan, Farhan Akhtar...to name a few! Requesting you all to hold your breath as we announce the name of today's Birthday Boy...it is none other than Hrithik Roshan! Not many know that this dude's debut was actually as a child artist in the film Aasha, when he was merely six years old! Later on, he went onto play minuscule but prominent roles in Aap Ke Deewane and Bhagwan Dada. It's only after that he went onto assist his director father in the productions of Karan Arjun and Koyla; films that went onto become not just milestone but also landmark films. Hrithik made his full fledged debut with the smash hit Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai, a film that gave the world India's answer to the likes not just the dancing tornado Michael Jackson but also the acting legends Robert DeNiro, Marlon Brando and others. Hrithik was indeed India's first ever all-in-one superstar, whose mere name's enough for any film to see everyone laughing their way to the Swiss Bank, nonetheless! Join Bollywood Hungama as we wish him a very happy Birthday, simply by posting your wishes below:

Kismat Konnection goes to the Oscar library

We still are some time away from the Oscars, but, India is surely making its presence felt at the Oscar library already, as most of the films that were released recently, have found their way to the Oscar library! The last few weeks had seen the likes of the scripts of Rock On, Sarkar Raj, Heroes being invited to be a part of this prestigious library. The latest one to join the gang is the Shahid-Vidya starrer smash hit film Kismat Konnection. Apparently, the Library of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (which is better known as the Oscars library) had expressed interest in acquiring a copy of the screenplay of Kismat Konnection for the permanent core collection. The scripts in their collection are made accessible for research purposes only; students, filmmakers, writers and actors are among their regular patrons. On this happy occasion, Ramesh Taurani, owner of TIPS, said, "I am very pleased with the inclusion of the screenplay of Kismat Konnection to the Oscar Library. TIPS Films has always endeavored to give the audiences great stories backed with great entertainment value. It's always a pleasure to be recognized for your craft by one of the most respectable film bodies of our times." After having won everyone's hearts with not just its simplistic storyline, but also its lilting music, Kismat Konnection will surely have a field day at the Oscar Library too!
