Julia Roberts Thrills Guard from Meerut
Source: NDTV Entertainment News | 14 Oct 2009 | 9:09 am When Asin became French translator for crew members of London Dreams
While shooting for London Dreams in Paris, everyone except Asin had problems in conversing with the locals in French. The young actress was a top scorer of French in school and college.
A source close to Asin reveals, "When Asin was shooting for London Dreams, she very easily made conversations with the natives. The cast and crew often took her help in talking French to the people out there. She went sightseeing in Paris. Asin loved the churches in Paris and even attended the mass in the local language. Asin even tried the street food available there."
Not many know that Asin can read, write and speak French fluently and is quite a master at it. A close friend of the actress revealed, "Asin can sing French songs very fluently. In fact, her college friends would tease her by calling her French Nightingale. French was her favourite subject and she always scored full marks in the subject."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 14 Oct 2009 | 8:34 am Live Chat: Ajay Devgn on October 16 at 1200 hrs IST

Costumes play a very important role in any Bollywood movie and a lot of detailing and attention is always given to the costumes used in our movies. In fact for a single movie, an actor has to go through quite a few costume changes during the course of the completion of the movie
However, Abhishek Bachchan had a different experience of sorts while shooting for his upcoming film Paa. Abhishek plays a politician in the film and hence is shown wearing a pristine white kurta pyjama in nearly 90% of the film.
In fact, to ensure that the clothes worn by the young actor were spotless, director Balki even ordered 10 sets of the same kurta pyjama to be made. However, ironical as it may sound, while AB Jr. sports just one single white kurta pyjama in 90% of the film, in the remaining 10% of the film the actor had to go through nearly 30 costume changes.
Bachchan junior however doesn't seem to mind the limited wardrobe that he has in the movie. "It was a welcome change to not have so many different costumes. And most importantly it was the requirement of the film", he says.
Paa is a sensitive story about the relationship between a father and son who is suffering from Progeria. The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan in lead roles and is slated for release on Dec. 4 this year.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 14 Oct 2009 | 6:31 am UTV signs an exclusive deal with Anurag Kashyap for the next 3 years
After collaborating on the cult hit Dev D earlier this year, UTV and Anurag Kashyap have once again joined hands. UTV has gone ahead and announced an exclusive association with Anurag Kashyap, for the next 3 years. As a part of the deal signed, Anurag will be directing 4 to 5 movies produced by UTV, and creatively producing another 4 to 5 in this duration.
Speaking on this association, Vikas Bahl, COO, UTV Motion Pictures said, "Anurag Kashyap is an extremely talented director, with a unique vision for his projects. There is a clear connect between how we want each of our films to be exceptional and diverse in various aspects and how Anurag treats each of his projects. Dev D, a UTV Spotboy movie directed by Anurag, was a blockbuster and set the base for a phenomenal working relationship. Now, we want to take this association forward with a long term perspective, and that is exactly how this idea came about."
Anurag Kashyap also seemed elated on signing this deal. He said, "I am very happy to sign up with UTV because it gives me the freedom to make the kind of films I want to and I feel UTV supports as well as enhances my creative process. Not only do I enjoy directing for UTV but I also appreciate the support they give to films and other filmmakers in delivering a creative vision that the films demand. Making Dev D was one of the most satisfying experiences and the production and distribution support that I got from UTV was the best I ever had. A repeat of that is always welcome."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 14 Oct 2009 | 6:29 am Katrina ki ghazab kahaniAce director Raj Kumar Santoshi can’t stop praising his Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani lead actress Katrina Kaif.Source: | 14 Oct 2009 | 6:24 am Adnan Sami injured, Jermaine escapes during music video shoot
It looks like the music video, featuring Jermaine Jackson and Adnan Sami paying a tribute to the various sights, sounds and scales of Mumbai city, is jinxed. Initially, permission was denied to shoot in certain sensitive parts of Mumbai as both Adnan and Jermaine are not Indian citizens.
Adnan had to use all his influence to get shooting permissions at places like the Gateway of India.
Then last week, on the day when the video was to be shot, the rains washed away all of Adnan and Jermaine's plans.
Finally, on Friday the shooting started in various parts of the Mumbai. But on the last day of the shoot, which was a Sunday, almost ended in catastrophe, as Adnan got injured in the sea waters near the Gateway of India. A speedboat sped a little too fast in the sea near the Gateway and Adnan, who was shooting with Jermaine Jackson, was badly hurt.
"Nothing to worry about though. I'll be repaired in no time at all," said Adnan from his home, a day after the injury.
So what happened? Adnan tries to play down the potentially calamitous sequence of events when the boat was shot tearing the sea waters and heading towards the Gateway.
"I guess the man navigating the boat took his job a little too seriously. He was moving too fast through the water and the boat almost toppled over and turned turtle. I was knocked against a hard surface in the boat."
Adnan's left hand and thumb was badly injured. "Fortunately, there are no fractures. But the pain and swelling were alarming. I couldn't move my hand. But we had to continue shooting because we had no permission to shoot in that area beyond Sunday."
Adnan lived through the ordeal with painkiller- shots to subside the pain.
"I'm just thankful that Jermaine wasn't in the boat when it almost capsized. That would've been one helluva story he'd have carried back home," chuckled Adnan from his home where he's now recovering.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 14 Oct 2009 | 5:08 am Salman brothers cherish the moment of togethernessThis was a spontaneous gesture.Source: Entertainment News | 14 Oct 2009 | 5:08 am Adnan Sami injuredAdnan Sami, who was shooting with Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine for a music video in the sea waters near the Gateway of India, has been seriously injured while shooting.Source: | 14 Oct 2009 | 5:03 am Salman steps into Big B's shoes!The actor is all set to play double role in the remake of Amitabh Bachchan-Hema Malini multi-starrer Satte Pe Satta.

The much-awaited underwater action-thriller Blue is just 1 hour 57 minutes long. Commenting on the length of his film director Anthony D'Souza said, "We owe it to the audience to not bore them. Blue is long enough to tell its story interestingly, that's it. It is 1 hour 57 minutes of sheer adrenaline rush."
Before flying off with Akshay Kumar to the Abu Dhabi Film Festival on Wednesday morning, Anthony was nervously mixing the Telugu version of Blue. "We decided to do Blue in a dubbed Telugu version because we got a good buyer. Though I'm supervising the mixing, the Telugu dubbing was done independently and the voices are nothing like Mr. Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara, Zayed, etc."
On Monday night, Blue was screened for the first time for the cast and crew at Adlabs. Strangely only Zayed Khan and Kabir Bedi from the cast showed up.
"That's because the rest of the cast was traveling. It was a last-minute decision to screen the film for the crew of Blue," explains Anthony.
With the final running-time of just 1 hour 57 minutes, Blue, featuring a top heavy starcast and an intricate underwater location, is a sure sign of restrain and brevity.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 14 Oct 2009 | 4:26 am Live Chat: Ajay Devgn on October 16 at 1200 hrs IST - bollywoodhungama
