My Name Is Khan on a swimming spree

Water has always been a source of thrill and… trouble for some. The team of Karan Johar’s 'My Name Is Khan' is enjoying the watery days, both inside and outside the film sets. While its pouring cats-dogs outside, its equally water-jammed on the shooting sets of this movie.
Enclosed within the premises of Film City, the crew are having troublesome time shooting inside three feet deep water. The scene, which features a flooded New York, has been impressively recreated the foreign location at a whopping amount and planning. It is said that artificial rains are used thus adding more inconvenience to the shoot. Even the cameras were not spared; they had been positioned underwater to capture scenes below the water.
The real rains had also found its way into the sets, helping the team to get a natural effect. As for the cast of the movie, they are really said to be braving the water shoot. Our King Khan seemed to have gone all frog-skinned due to the long stay in waters. He has been even nicknamed as Mermaid by the people on the set. But along with the water, SRK has seemed to be taking it sportingly. After Shah Rukh, Jimmy Shergill will soon dive into the schedule to finish his round of shooting.
Hmm, our only concern is that hope all the people involved here would come out fit and fine.

Birthday wishes to flowery gal: Tulip Joshi

She is sweet, charming and impressive! Tulip Joshi may have not given BO hits but she has surely grasped a seat for herself in this big glittering town.
With her debut ‘Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai’, people were hopefully that this lady will make it big, for the movie was from the YRF banner. But her fragrance was just spread mildly in Bollywood, until it was noticed in ‘Mathrubhoomi’. With the tagline that goes ‘A nation without women’, ‘Mathrubhoomi’ brought out a remarkable actor from Tulip and the made people to sit up take notice of this innocent looking beauty.
But her films which came after this couldn’t attract much attention and the actress is not bothered about success. What matters is the diversity in the roles she plays. For she said, “I am searching for different roles always and I refuse to repeat myself. Maybe that is why my career graph has been slightly strange.” Tulip doesn’t want to be a typecast and that one can see through her choice of films so far.
Her recent movie ‘Daddy Cool’ might have not got the response as expected but we don’t think Tulip will play it low and we really wish this actress makes it up one fine day. IndiaGlitz wishes Tulip a very successful career ahead. May her birthday today be the beginning of a new and wonderful tomorrow.

Shilpa’s unique way of homage

British TV reality show ‘Big Brother’ became a household name after Shilpa Shetty stepped in to participate. We are well aware about the spat between the playmates Shilpa and Jade Goody. A racist controversy was set off when Jade called our diva ‘Shilpa Poppa-dom’. But the animosity between the two gradually died once the show was over. Jade Goody passed away this March after diagnosed with cervical cancer. Now, Shilpa Shetty has set out to make Jade’s name more memorable.
The actress has made plans to introduce her own brand of Indian healthy food items that include side dishes and curries. In the reality show, the contestants had accused Shilpa’s chicken curry as under-cooked and with excessive onions. Now, the actress will include the same in her menu.
According to sources, “Shilpa thinks Jade will have a little chuckle in heaven about the poppadoms. She has been inundated with requests for her curry recipe and one day she just thought: ‘Why don’t I just create my own range?’ One of Shilpa’s passions in life is healthy living so she wanted to incorporate that into her dishes.”
Hmm, all we can do now is to call this a yummy tribute!

Neha Dhupia’s going International!

Neha Dhupia’s is ready for a leap and a huge one at that. The actor, who has been going steady in Bollywood post some great sensible cinema like ‘Ek Chalis’, will now be doing a US mini-series, ‘Bollywood Hero’.
While Neha plays the character of a Bollywood superstar, Lalima who has loads of attitude and tantrums, the actress claims to be otherwise in real life, “She is so unlike me, I just couldn’t relate to her. I did not take any real life inspiration.” With that Neha steers clean of any controversies. That’s not it the actor will be doing a sizzling dance number in the rain, which is also her introduction in the film. Neha however thinks that Bollywood actresses are no longer introduced like this.
The film also has a guest appearance by Keano Reeves and Neha is disappointed that she had no scenes with him. Chris Kattan is the lead opposite Neha in the film who plays a wannabe Bollywood actor. The film is a spoof on Bollywood.
That’s not it this year is a very happening one for Neha with a huge string of big banner releases and of-course some small budget films with close friend Rajat Kapoor. When quizzed if she is Rajat’s favourite, Neha replies, “All I can say is that Rajat has a smart choice.”
Do not know about Rajat but, Neha you certainly seem to be making smart choices as far your films are concerned.

Sonam against Diabetes

Actress Sonam Kapoor is truly an actress of difference. She has been setting waves since her debut in the Bollywood. Latest is that the impressive lass is said to have done four short films on Diabetes.
The films are directed by Kunal Vohra and shot in the Studio of the ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani. Sources said that the director was pleasantly surprised when Sonam readily agreed to be a part of this awareness campaign, even though she is a busy body. Talking about the films to sources, Kunal said, “Three of the films talk about the symptoms of diabetes while the fourth has a voiceover with Sonam encouraging people to go in for regular check-ups.”
Interestingly, Sonam was well-aware about diabetes, its symptoms and the treatment and so the filmmaker didn’t have the chance to make the actress familiar with the subject. The movie is undergoing the editing process and will be released soon.

Kat in Dostana 2!

Dostana, the romantic comedy filmed entirely in Miami is here with a new avatar. Birdies say that the sequel brings in Katrina to join the crazy company of John Abraham and Abhishek. But it is not over yet, we will have Arjun Rampal and Riteish Deshmukh to wood the lady along with John and Abi. Guys will of course add that zing to the sequel!
Looks like Dharma Productions has auditioned dozens of new girls as they wanted a fresh face for the sequel. “After a tedious Google search, they felt that Katrina’s ‘most hit’ status on the Internet makes it apt for her to play the role of the ‘most hit’ girl by the boys in ‘Dostana 2’” adds our source.
Though there are lots of rumors doing rounds in the industry in terms with Ash’s Barbie doll issue, Kat is okay about acting with Abishek. Cool girl for a cool film! What say people?-->

Next, Katrina will be seen in the prestigious character of Sonia Gandhi in Prakash Jha’s ‘Rajneeti’. It would be interesting to see this arm-candy in a serious role for once. The movie is said to deal with the political scenario. She said to sources, “I’m the only girl with top male actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Manoj Bajpai, Nana Patekar and Arjun Rampal. It is a performance oriented film for me and that’s the way I would ideally like most of my future films to be.”

It is said that she signed on the dotted line of this one only for her friend Akshay Kumar. Kat and Akki have given several good films together before and so she agreed to do the movie which is under the actor’s home production. She said, “Akshay is a friend and I could never refuse. When I learnt De Dana Dan is Akshay’s home production I said yes without hesitation.” A birdie said that the movie comprises of 22 actors and the director had termed it as his most complex movie till now!
