Farhan Akhtar takes acting full time

Farhan Akhtar is here to prove that his film Rock On did not storm the box office, Luck by Chance. The guy has incredible amount of talent. He plays a struggling actor in elder sister, Zoya Akhtar’s film. Farhan in an interview was explaining how the cast of a film is decided after numerous trials, errors and denials. Aamir Khan was not the first choice for Lagaan, neither were Aamir, Saif and Akshaye Khanna for Dil Chahta Hai. However it surprises me to see just like real life, in Bollywood too, how fate conspires to get the best outcomes for some blockbusters.

Brand Shilpa Shetty ka kamaal

Shilpa Shetty had indeed seen her best days post Big Brother fiasco. After that the actress went about doing crazy things. She became a regular socialite in London rubbing shoulders with every Brit who’s who. Later she bought an apartment in London and wanted to migrate there forever. Then she launched her perfume brand and released a yoga DVD. Now Ms. Shetty is planning to go bald for her next film. Isn’t that taking your popularity way too far? You cannot take your fans for granted baby!

Peanut Butter! That’s a load of shit!

The British filmmaker Danny Boyle reveals his little secret. The scene where little Jamal jumps into that drainage like pit to catch a glimpse of Amitabh Bachchan was shot with utmost ease. The boy did jump into an actual shithole. However the crew placed a round tank filled with peanut butter into that shit hole. The Boy would have tasted sweet had someone dared to lick him. It’s funny to see how our mind can create a totally different perception on screen.

Let’s talk about Ashu-Sajid tamasha

The Showdown between Sajid and Ashutosh Gowariker was brilliant and I suppose it proved to work wonders for the TRP of the channel. Indian television is just so dramatic. Reality shows, award functions, Ekta Kapoor soap, everything is so full of anything but drama. We as an audience love scams and controversies. We are, as a matter of fact so addicted to controversies that we might not enjoy clean TV viewing. However, I’m afraid after a while; we might stop reacting to it. The reality shows then, might have to retort with physical assault to catch out attention.

Padma Sri fever takes over Bollywood

Most of our film awards have already lost its significance, thanks to the infamous lobbying that surrounds it. Categories are invented; awards are distributed so as to keep everyone happy. Recently some Bollywood names made headlines by bagging the prestigious Padma Sri. I just hope they realize that it is different from all those awards they’ve been getting. Earlier Padma Shri was given more for achievements in the field of arts, civil services, engineering, medicine, education, literature and arts. I seriously wonder why are they contaminating it with Bollywood?

Education camp for Bollywood stars

At a recent press interview, lovely lass, Kangana Ranaut got confused between Republic Day and Independence Day. Sigh! Well I already doubted if she ever went to school but then I thought she might have at least completed her elementary schooling. To everyone’s shock she blurts out something as shocking as that. Maybe the NGOs who are on a suing spree must instead take an education camp for all the Kanganas in Bollywood and allied industry.

Akshay gets mad www.lehren.tv

Its a very rare sight when you see bollywood khiladi kumar losing his head, somewhat like that happened at the screen award function, when akshay lost his cool. While already in a bad mood for organising this even akshay was not happy with the outcome of the screen awards, and when his name was called out for the best actor award he told the media that aamir khan deserves the award and not him, coz aamirs performance in ghajini was far more better than his.
