We accepted him as the newest chocolate faced boy of the industry, as he won his lady love's heart in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa, but he disappointed us when he tried doing macho man just yet with films like Kidnap and Luck. After all, who will fill the gap he left behind, and plus the teeny Boopers of college hadn't had enough of Imran Khan being the college lover.
The Hi! Blitz Magazine though caught him in yet another role that no one thought would suit Imran to the T. Dressed up in the eighties designer style suits, a Varun Bahl creation, he looks every bit the yesteryear hero as Imran posed next to some of the finest Vintage cars from Dr. Vijay Mallya's collection. It's a classic story with Imran Khan and some elegant wheels but one that the actor took immense joy in. Like any man his age he revels in the sleekness of the wheels though the unusual springs up just as you've dismissed him as just another boy as he says, "I am not a speed freak. I like all cars. There are some people who waste their time speeding on Carter Road; I am not one of those. The major appeal for me is the details of the cars."
Further he goes on to talk about everything from his love for jazz and how he has evolved over the years as the photographer captures some beautiful moments. They say pictures speak a thousand words and these glow off the essence of this Khan, who is has the capability and the charisma to climb the success ladder faster than you can say 'Bollywood'.

If it's a Shahid Kapoor film, there must be some heavy duty dancing. Or so it seems, going by the way the music in his father's directorial debut Mausam has been moulded to accommodate Shahid's dancing shoes.
According to a source very close to the project, the film's aesthetically-inclined director Pankaj Kapoor had initially planned an exclusive heavily melody-based music score based only ragas.
In fact, Pritam Chakraborty who's doing the music score in Mausam has just recorded a raga-based love melody in the voice of Rashid Khan.
Says Pritam, "It was meant to be only a small music piece. But when Pankaj-ji heard the tune he wanted it as a full-fledged song."
Pritam admits the music in Mausam would be heavily melodious in the tradition of the great love stories down the ages from Bobby to Love Story to Ek Duje Ke Liye to Saawariya.
But now just days after Pritam recorded the raga-based number comes the news that a specially-designed dance track will be put together for Mausam.
A source close to the project who doesn't want to be named says, "There was closed-door meeting between the producers, the director and Shahid Kapoor. It was unanimously decided that there would be a very unique song-and-dance. It was felt that Mausam was too expensive a project to make it seem even slightly experimental in flavour."
Says the film's producer Sheetal Talwar, "We don't want to disappoint Shahid's target audience, the young fans. So yes, Shahid will dance after all."
Shahid's buddy Ahmed Khan is now busy trying to accommodate the dance into his crammed diary. He has no choice. Shahid has to dance.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 31 May 2010 | 3:11 am Amitabh Bachchan admires Prag Mahal palaceBollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently busy shooting for an ad-film in Bhuj city to promote Gujarat tourism, seems to have fallen in love with the place.

This week's mystery guest will surely go down as someone who dared to redefine the 'waving of the goodbye'!

She may be a former model-turned-actress, but she made that transition so effortlessly that it wasn't hard to believe that Bollywood is where this leggy lass naturally belongs. She maybe just a mere 25 year old chic, but her sensuality knows no bound. So much so that, the ace choreographer Farah Khan complimented her saying that "She is the epitome of Indian beauty - regal, graceful, dignified and maturity well beyond its age."
