Few days back we heard that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is going to replace take Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in place of Kareena Kapoor in his new mega film, Bajirao Mastani. Now another film maker, Vishal Bhardwaj contacted Aishwarya Rai to act against Saif Ali Khan, lover of Kareena Kapoor.

In fact for last 14 years Vishal wants Aishwarya in his film but due to date problem or Aishwarya Rai is not interested in the script they could not work together. But if this time Ash is ready to work with Saif than will see a new pair in bollywood film. Besides this Vishal contacted Aishwarya with two more scripts. One is based on William sex pier’s Helmet and he wishes to Hritik in this film.

People have seen Vishal entering in to ‘Janak’ a place were Bachchan’s held business meeting. Sources says that Vishal had gone there to meet Aishwarya where they discussed on the script. It is not known finally what happened.

In a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, Saif said that he’ll marry Bebo whenever she is happy and comfortable doing that since the decision would affect her the most.

I am as committed as I am, married to Kareena or not–Saif
Talking about his relationship with Kareena and their decision to take the final plunge, Saif said, “It is always difficult to discuss marriage in an interview. This is something that she has to decide and whenever she is happy and comfortable, we will marry.

“It doesn’t really make a difference to my career. I am as committed as I am, married to Kareena or not. It has to be the lady’s call and she would be the most affected.”

The love birds, who have been dating from past three years, had recently revealed in ‘Koffee With Karan’ that they might take marital vows in 2012.

Vishal chooses SRK over Saif?
Sometime back, mutiple tabloids had reported that ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ director Siddharth Anand was planning to make a film based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel ’2 States’ with Saif, but then Vishal Bhardwaj and Sajid Nadiadwala took the subject with SRK. So what does he feel about that?

Saif explained, “Siddarth and Sajid Nadiadwala were not able to meet each others terms. Sajid has the rights of the book (by Chetan Bhagat) and he is making the film with who he thinks is the best available cast and director.”

About working with Vishal, Saif said, “There is no point in talking about films that did not work out. As far as Vishal Bhardwaj’s film Dream Sequence is concerned, a few modalities are yet to be worked out.”

Right now, the actor is focusing on his next with Imtiaz Ali and Homi Adjania, ‘Race 2′, and ‘Agent Vinod’.

“I am doing Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan, Homi’s untitled next, Agent Vinod and Race 2. There is politics, likes, dislikes, conditions met and not met,” he said.

A few days ago TOI reported that Kareena Kapoor was all set to replace Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s revived ambitious project Bajirao Mastani.

Now it’s Ash’s chance to strike back. Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has approached the green-eyed actress to pair up with Kareena’s beau Saif Ali Khan for a film. Vishal, we hear, has been chasing Ash for 14 years now, but the two never worked together owing to date constraints or because the projects did not interest Ash.

If Ash agrees to the film with Saif this time, it will be interesting to see this new pair on screen. Apart from this film, the acclaimed filmmaker has also approached her with two more scripts and one concept which is his take on William Shakespeare’s cult tragedy, Hamlet, for which he plans to cast Hrithik Roshan.

Vishal was spotted entering Janak (Bachchans, usually, hold business meetings at this Juhu bungalow) with a script in hand. This has set the ball in motion. Said a source, “Vishal was indeed there to meet with Ash. It went on for an hour at least where they discussed and dissected the offers that he had for her. As of now things are very hush hush.”

We all know from Siddharth Malhotra’s tweets and interviews how hard he’s trying to be like mentor Karan Johar. The We Are Family director has announced his fidelity to Dharma Productions and swears to work only with Karan Johar from now on!

Kareena Kapoor has been in the news for many reasons; her stepmom act, as Saif Ali Khan’s girlfriend and what-not. Well, the size-zero actress is now throwing tantrums even before she’s begun to act in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine!

If Kareena can snub directors, looks like others can do it to Saif too. Vishal Bhardwaj said that he wasn’t even approached with the script for Ekta Kapoor’s Dreams.

Chocolat boy (or man) Johnny Depp is the highest paid actor in Hollywood in 2010. The handsome star is followed by Ben Stiller and Tom Hanks.

We’ll leave you to drool on that for now…

Saif Ali Khan has been married to Bollywood actress, Amrita Singh, and has two children, namely daughter Sara Ali Khan, and son Ibrahim Ali Khan. Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh have now separated. Sara and Ibrahim are with their mother, Amrita Singh. Saif Ali Khan is now romantically involved with an Italian girlfriend.it is true Mr. Kapoor made me sit with Sonam and Rhea Kapoor at all the auditions to select the third girl Amrita Puri, since she came in much later. It was a process that instilled confidence in me.

The special anniversary issue was unveiled by style diva Kareena Kapoor and dream maker Karan Johar at the glittering event.Kareena, who is known to be a classy dresser in real life too, has many raving about her penchant for the perfect style, and after being seen in ethnic and western wear, all her fans are ga-ga over her panache for the best of clothes,always.

It’s an internal joke between Kareena and me because I think she is most unstylish and she thinks I am most unstylish.As for now he is in talks for projects with directors Kunal Kohli, Siddharth Anand and even Vishal Bhardwaj. In fact, with Vishal he has two movies. The Love Aaj Kal actor might co-produce any one of these films.She has given back-to-back hits with Namastey London, Partner, Apne and Welcome in a single year, which is a very rare feat especially by a Bollywood actress.

Kareena Kapoor has three films under production, Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra.One, Saif Ali Khan’s Agent Vinod and Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 3. However, the actress who may also be doing Karan Johar’s next production with Imran Khan, insists that she won’t work on any other movie

Kapoor and the National Award-winning director were to team up previously for Page 3, but the actress was committed to Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara at the time and had to turn down the offer.
Bhandarkar went back to her with Fashion, but once again dates were a problem and the role went to Priyanka Chopra who bagged the National Award for her performance. With Heroine, she is hoping to get third time lucky.
“It’s the right subject for Madhur and me to work on together. I promise to give my heart and soul to just this one film, once it goes on the floors, since it is a performance-oriented role.” she says.

The film is partly inspired by the life of Hollywood diva Marilyn Monroe and Kapoor admits it’s a “scary proposition”. But she’s banking on her director to guide her well. He will be supplying the research material on Monroe. “We’ll be adapting some of Marilyn’s famous roles. There will also be moments from her headline grabbing personal life, which may be emotionally draining, but I’m ready for it,” Kapoor asserts.

Her homework will come from watching old films, not just Monroe’s, but our classic divas like Madhubala, Nargis and Waheeda Rehman too. “I love old movies,” she smiles. “That’s what I do whenever I get a day off. It helps me get into character. This role is tailor-made for me because I’ve been a heroine since I was in my mother’s womb. I eat, drink and breathe acting.”

Won’t she have to put on a few extra kilos for the role? “I’m quite healthy now, thank you. No more size zero for me. I don’t mind putting on 10-12 kilos provided I’m not doing any other movie around that time.”

SRK has been tweeting regularly about Ra.One but she’s not been too forthcoming on the superhero fantasy. All we know is that she’s playing Khan’s wife and the mother of a child. “Well, the family is based in London and there are loads of visual effects,” she says. “Our chemistry was great in Asoka (2001) and I’m sure Shah Rukh and I will sizzle on screen again.”

The movie is not slated for release until November 5, but you can already now get a sneak peek of Kareena Kapoor’s upcoming comedy “Golmaal 3.” After starring in the box-office hit “3 Idiots” Kareena Kapoor takes on another ’3′ and is hard at work shooting her new movie “Golmaal 3″ in Goa and Hyderabad. The Rohit Shetty directed comedy co-stars Ajay Devgan and Arshad Warsi.
Bebo’s role has been described as a ‘tomboy’ and will be far from some of the more glam parts she has taken on in the past: “My look in Golmaal 3 is not glamorous. He’s young and grunge and maintenance of the weather and the appearance of Goa in mind. I play a tomboy, but with a feminine touch. Although to use language Tapori not be too abusive or vulgar. I will agree with my personality,” Kareena told reporters when asked about her role.

This is not the first time the “Kurbaan” star has had to take the glamour level down a notch. For her role in Karan Johar’s remake of the 1998 Julia Roberts movie “Stepmom,” the Bollywood beauty will portray an ordinary working woman, a stepmom. “I walk, talk and dress like an ordinary working girl. I’ll be using no makeup,” she revealed, adding “I’m going for a new hairstyle,” said about this part.
Sounds like everyone wants to take Kareena from glam to gloomy! “The last time I rehearsed for a part it was for Vishal Bhardwaj’s “Omkara.” However, that was a more unconventional film and role where I had to get into a milieu and character I knew nothing about. But Stepmom is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl. It should’ve been easier,” Bebo added.
So take a look at Kareena Kapoor’s look in “Golmaal 3″ and tell us what you think; are you looking forward to seeing the movie? Drop us a line.

Shahid Kapur, the handsome hunk of bollywood who was in a relationship with sizzling hot Kapoor babe (Kareena Kapoor) for almost four years, has made sarcastic remarks about her dominating nature on Karan Johar’s show ‘Lift Kara De.’

In fact, Shahid Kapur went to the extent of accusing the ravishing beauty of forcing him to take career decisions in accordance with her wishes. Shahid also pointed out to the fact that Kareena Kapoor would always make him do the things which were her liking, irrespective of Shahid Kapur’s own interests and desires. Shahid further explained to Karan Johar that after his break up with Kareena around two years back, he has been doing things which he loves doing and not to please anyone else (read Kareena Kapoor).

In a revealing mood, Shahid Kapur also told Karan Johar that earlier he would always be told what to do and what not to do, but now there was no such pressure from any quarters. Meanwhile, Shahid Kapur’s ‘Chance Pe Dance’ opposite Genelia D’souza opened in theatres today.

The revelation by Shahid Kapur on Karan Johar’s show has shocked the industry as it was earlier assumed that Shahid and Kareena Kapoor were ideal lovers and never had any problems between them(of course, till the time Kareena got besotted with Saif Ali Khan on the sets of Yashraj Films’ ‘Tashan’ in Ladakh).

In fact, a section of the industry is looking at Shahid Kapur’s outbursts against Kareena Kapoor as his reaction to him being snubbed by Kareena at a recent award function. Sources point out to the timing of his outburst and say that if that was not the case, Shahid Kapur would not have kept mum for so long to express his views on Bebo.

Earlier, Kareena Kapoor had snubbed Shahid Kapur at an award function when they crossed each other’s paths. While Shahid Kapur did notice Kareena passing by his side and also looked back with surprise, Kareena Kapoor chose to ignore him and pretended to be too occupied to even notice that Shahid Kapur was there in the vicinity.

On the same show, Shahid Kapur also made it clear that his fling with hot Priyanka Chopra was a thing of past and he was no longer with her. Earlier, they were reportedly dating each other after working together in Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Kaminey’.

The handsome hunk also proclaimed that he (Shahid Kapur) was single and not dating any cutie from bollywood or outside. In fact, he went a step further and jokingly said that he was available for his female fan followers, if they chose to mingle with him.

Debutant Siddharth Malhotra helmed adaptation of Hollywood film Stepmom began filming today, October 9, in the US. The film stars Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal.

Producer Karan Johar tweeted earlier in the day with the news:

the adaptation of stepmom co produced by sony pictures and dharma starts today!! kajol kareena and arjun…debut director siddharth malhotra

Kareena Kapoor will fill in for Julia Roberts as the step mother and Kajol will play Susan Sarandon’s role as the terminally ill mother. John Abraham, who was to play Ed Harris’ role as the father of two children, opted out and has been replaced by Arjun Rampal.

Kareena has been attending a workshop to prepare for her role as an ordinary career woman.

“The last time I rehearsed for a part it was for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara. But that was a more unconventional film and role where I had to get into a milieu and character I knew nothing about. But Stepmom is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl. It should’ve been easier. I walk, talk, dress like an ordinary working girl. I’ll be using no makeup,” Kareena told Mumbai Mirror.

Back in June Johar reportedly dropped plans of lensing the Stepmom remake in Australia and opted for the US instead, in protest against the racial attacks on Indian students in Australia.

Kareena has recently wrapped up filming for Raj Kumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots with co-star Aamir Khan.

Last week Kajol wrapped up Karan Johar helmed and produced My Name is Khan with co-star Shah Rukh Khan.

Manish Malhotra is having a hard time trying to bring down Kareena’s glamour-quotient in “Stepmom’ and make her look like a ordinary working woman. Kareena is leaving nothing to chance this time. In her determination to make sure she can match strides with the formidable scene-stealer Kajol in the desi “Stepmom’ she has been quietly attending acting workshops with the film’s director Siddharth Malhotra.

To make time for this Kareena has been stealing time out of the rehearsals for the song that she began shooting with Aamir in “3 Idiots’ this week.

Playing Kajol’s soutan in the Indian “Stepmom’ won’t be a cakewalk for Kareena Kapoor. The two actresses start shooting together from the end of this month.

Says Kareena, “The last time I rehearsed for a part it was for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara. But that was a more unconventional film and role where I had to get into a milieu and character I knew nothing about. But “Stepmom’ is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl. It should’ve been easier.”

Through the workshops Kareena is discovering how difficult it is to play a normal girl. “I walk talk dress like an ordinary working girl. I’ll be using no makeup.”

The clothes by Manish Malhotra will on this occasion be far less glamorous than what Kareena generally gets to wear. “I couldn’t cut my hair as planned because of continuity clashes. And I didn’t want to cut my long hair. But I’m going for a new hairstyle.”

The biggest challenge is to face the camera with the indomitable Kajol.

Says Kareena, “She’s always been one of my favourite actresses. We worked together in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. But this is something else.”

Kareena says there are lot of dramatic scenes between the two women. “The desi version of “Stepmom’ is very different from the original. My role is also a big departure from what Julia Roberts played in “Stepmom’.”
