After a period of serious re-thinking John Abraham has gone on a signing spree.
Apparently, he's doing as many as 12 films now ranging from a sequel on male bonding (Dostana 2) to a boys-having-fun comedy (Desi Boys) to a science-fiction flick (Alien Sahib) to a full-on action flick co-starring Asin.
John Abraham has four back-to-back films to shoot this year. He first shoots for Vishal Bhardwaj's Saat Khoon Maaf in Coorg, then Nishikant Kamat's film for producer Vipul Shah. Then John moves to Dostana 2 in July for which he has been preparing urgently. This time there would be more meat not just in terms of physical exposure but also his role which is being expanded and re-worked by director Tarun Mansukhani who feels too much attention was given to John's physique in the first Dostana. From October 20, John starts shooting for Rohit Dhawan's Desi Boys.
Speaking on the flurry of assignments John laughs, "It's not about the number of assignments. It's about the quality of work I do. If I may say so myself, the audience that comes to watch my films has a certain expectation especially after the two back-to-back successes Dostana and New York that I had. I won't be able to face my audience if they go away disappointment. So yes, I'm doing three films one after the other this year starting with Nishikant Kamat's film and then going on to Dostana 2. On the day that the shooting of Dostana 2 ends I start shooting for David Dhawan's son Rohit's Desi Boys with Akshay Kumar. So it's a very crowded year for me."
Poopoohing the talk that his films are being shelved, John says, "Some of my films got delayed because of various reasons, nothing to do with me. Why make me the face of all the problems faced by my films? I can only say with complete certainty that no film of mine will ever get delayed because of me. And no film of mine will be shelved if I can help it.

Even before the hangover of a spectacular Videocon IIFA Weekend 2010 subsides, it seems like the host country, Sri Lanka, has already begun reaping the benefits of playing host to IIFA's magnificent 11th edition. Recognizing the gorgeousness of the island nation, and the welcoming warmth received by the Indian Film Fraternity during another magical IIFA weekend, Anees Bazmee's new film Ready, produced by T-Series and starring Salman Khan and Asin in lead roles, will now be filmed in Sri Lanka, beginning 20th June, 2010. The movie's location for shooting was originally scheduled to be Mauritius, but after enjoying a beautiful locale like Colombo during the Videocon IIFA Weekend, there was much enthusiasm to change the location to Sri Lanka
It may be recalled that in the absence of the Bachchan parivar and Shah Rukh Khan at the recently held IIFA weekend in Colombo, it was none other than Salman Khan who was the main attraction at this extravaganza. The actor, who played a key role in the IIFA Hands for Humanity Project, as the Brand Ambassador for Charity, thoroughly appreciated the kindness and generosity of the Sri Lankans and claims to be thrilled about returning to the neighbouring island.
Sri Lanka is undoubtedly excited to welcome the whole cast of Ready. It seems like the exuberant aura of Sri Lanka, that received global recognition at the Videocon IIFA Weekend will prove to be a big plus for this host country in the days to come.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 14 Jun 2010 | 4:39 am ‘Govinda easily blended into his character’Director Mani Ratnam denies downsizing Govinda’s role in Raavan.

The hottest thing to have ever happened to Bollywood goes by the name of Gul Panag. And she has to her credit some of the memorable films that Bollywood has produced in the recent past. When most of the world dreads Mathematics like a dreadful disease, she proudly flaunts a graduation degree in the same. A super-active kid at studies, she has many awards and rewards to her credit. An ardent public speaker, she entered the Miss India, only to win it, which eventually paved her way to TV and then into Bollywood!
Gul Panag, who features on the cover of this month's Maxim, goes onto say that (on record) quite a few things about her life, films and much more. She starts off saying, "You can say that I was brought up to stand out." She does look like a million bucks when she is atop...a bike! This one's for all those who wandered and wondered about this bomb-shell on a bike. She sets the record straight by saying, "If a woman on a bike is enough to drive any guy insane, I just don't get the point. It's not like I ride a bike in a bikini! I am wearing a jacket and a helmet, so there isn't much at display here."
All this and much more, only in the latest edition of the Maxim.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 14 Jun 2010 | 4:01 am Abhishek, Aishwarya saved my life: Ravi Kishan - NDTV.com

s
All that talk of aspiring actor Nikhil Dwivedi doing a nude sequence for Mani Ratnam's Raavan was a bit premature. The fact is, Nikhil got shy at the last minute about going all the way thereby creating a panic in the jungles where the film was shot.
Says a very reliable source from the unit, "The first ever male nude sequence in a Hindi film almost didn't happen. Nikhil Dwivedi who had to do the scene copped out. The director Mani Ratnam tried to explain to him that the scene was not for titillation. It is a scene of torture of a cop. Usually its cops who are shown torturing suspected offenders. Here it's the other way around. Beera (Abhishek) and his men capture a cop played by Nikhil Dwivedi. They strip and torture him."
This is where Nikhil put his foot down. He flatly refused to perform the 'rear' feat arguing that his family and friends would be deeply mortified.
"Sir main apne ghar walon ko kya mooh dikhaonga?" Dwivedi apparently whined in front of the baffled director who isn't used to being told no.
Says the source, "All attempts to convince Nikhil to bare all failed. Mani Ratnam was at his wit's end. His assistants reminded Nikhil that the actor's counterpart in Tamil (John Vijay) had willingly bared all. But Nikhil was immovable. They finally had to get a body-double with... shall we see... similar vital statistics to stand in for Nikhil."
When contacted Dwivedi is afraid to talk, "I am not allowed to say anything. But if you're talking about full-frontal nudity then sorry I won't do it. We Indians have a certain inbuilt censorship."
While Dwivedi demurred, Rahul Bose had no qualms stripping for the camera in Dev Benegal's Split Wide Open. Ranbir Kapoor dropped the towel in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya. Even Anil Kapoor did a sequence in the buff for Shankar's Nayak. Recently, John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh did police interrogation scenes in the nude in Kabir Khan's New York and Madhur Bhandarkar's Jail, respectively.
Says Rajit Kapoor, "What's the big deal about going nude for the camera? I did it in Train To Pakistan 20 years ago."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 14 Jun 2010 | 3:18 am Salman-Asin to shoot Ready in Sri LankaEven before the hangover of a spectacular Videocon IIFA Weekend 2010 subsides, it seems like the host country, Sri Lanka, has already begun reaping the benefits of playing host to IIFA's magnificent 11th edition.
