Bhatts & Emraan to now make 'Murder 3'

Solid success of 'Murder 2' has convinced it's makers - the Bhatt brothers - that the lethal combination of sex, violence and horror is something that they won't be ignoring for many more films to come. Buoyed by the massive collections that the film has garnered at the box office, they have now announced 'Murder 3' as well. The film is expected to go on floors next year.

"Who would let go of a successful franchise," says a source close to the production house, "In the times when even flop films try so hard to be in news by announcing their sequels, Bhatts are at least celebrating a hit film with 'Murder 3' as their next offering. Of course just like 'Murder 2', even third in the series would be basically a new story altogether with no connection whatsoever to the earlier parts. However the core of it all would remain as a 'murder'. Uske bagair aap murder title nahi justify kar sakte, right?"

Expectedly, it would be 'ghar ka hero' Emraan Hashmi who would be playing a lead all over again in 'Murder 3' as well. On the other hand leading lady would most definitely change. Just like Jacqueline Fernandez, who in the process of replacing Mallika Sherawat had upped the sex quotient, the new woman in Emraan's life would take two steps further when it comes to unabashed skin show.

"In fact Bhatts have already started getting feelers from those who wish to get associated with 'Murder 3'. However they are in no hurry," the source continues, "Having said that, though there was a seven year gap between 'Murder' and 'Murder 2', it won't be as huge this time around. 'Murder 3' would be made much sooner. There are no abundance of scripts revolving around murders and Bhatts are already in the process of short-listing the most appropriate one."

On contacted, Mukesh Bhatt is more than enthusiastic to announce 'Murder 3'. "This is an original franchise that Vishesh Films owns and we are not letting go off it. There would certainly be 'Murder 3' and we would be announcing the cast, director and other details soon. Of course Emraan would be a part of it. We plan to take these series forward in a big way."

However it is quite likely that there would be at least two other films - 'Informer' and 'Raaz 3' - that would be made in the interim. While 'Informer' would be directed by Kunal Deshmukh, 'Raaz 3' brings back Vikram Bhatt into the camp. Incidentally, Emraan Hashmi would feature in both the films.

"Yes, I have been told by Bhatt saab that 'Murder 3' is on. However it would be only after the completion of aforementioned films that 'Murder 3' would go on floors," confirms Emraan.

ZNMD to open well at urban centers

This Friday, season of good footfalls in theatres is all set to continue with 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' at least at the urban centers. The film's classy promos have worked with the elite which means multiplexes are pretty much sold. While an opening over 70% at multiplexes seems on the cards, one does regret the lack of a single chartbuster track that could have enticed mass audience as well. Given the fact that it has been a dream run at single screens and Bollywood is smiling all over again with audience giving their nod of approval on a continued note to films like 'Murder 2', 'Double Dhamaal' and to an extent 'Delhi Belly', one would have wanted somethin similar for ZNMD as well.

However one tends to believe that the makers won't be overtly worried as for them the target audience was pretty much the urban junta which means things have pretty much fallen in place for them. Since Hrithik too is being seen in a light hearted role after relatively serious 'Kites' and a somber 'Guzaarish', his fans would be happy to lap up the film. Zoya Akhtar's last release 'Luck By Chance' was an entertaining affair and given the kind of sensibilities that she and her brother Farhan carry, one does expect a good sensible outing in 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'

Kajal Agarwal: "I will never be disrespectful to the Telugu & Tamil film industry

Kajal Agarwal the hot favourite down south reportedly stirred up a controversy when she said she doesn't consider herself to be a south Indian actress, as she is Punjabi by birth. Following these reports, angered Tamil and Telugu producers issued statements saying they will ban the actor from working in south Indian films.

Here exclusively for IG the actress reacts to the alleged ban and says, "I'm really hurt and angry that someone has started this whole 'ban' issue without bothering to speak to me."

She further added by saying, "I will never be disrespectful to the Telugu and Tamil film industry. I have been brought up to respect my roots. I owe my acting career to them."

Kajal is making her bedut in Bollywood alongside Ajay Devgn in Rohit Shetty's 'Singham'.

Kajal explains, "I was shooting for a Telugu film Dhada with Nagarjuna's son Chaitanya in Germany when these rumours started. I have not heard from any association wanting to ban me because I guess everyone in a position of power knows the truth."

Kajal asserts that she will not give up south films even if she gets more Hindi film offers. The actor, who has worked for four years and acted in over 21 films, says, "I plan to continue with my south films simultaneously with Hindi projects. There is no question of choosing one over the other. I am working with the best talent there. Why would I give it all up?"

The actor reveals that director Rohit Shetty spotted her in Telugu film Magadheera and offered her 'Singham'. She says, "Language wasn't a problem. But I was reserved in the initial days. Rohit and Ajay's pranks made me loosen up."

Stay tuned; exclusive video interview coming soon.....

Aishwarya to be honoured by French Government

Its good times all the way for our diva Aishwarya Rai Bachchan... While she and her family are eagerly waiting for the newcomer in their clan, here�s latest news that will add to their happiness.....

Reports have it that tomorrow Aishwarya will be presented with the prestigious Officer Dan Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres by the French Government in New Delhi. As a matter of fact, she will be the first Asian actress and the youngest Indian to win the honour.

Quoted the French daily 'Le Figaro' statement, "She (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) is one of the most famous Indian actors in this country and outside the borders of India. Aishwarya will be made Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters, on Wednesday July 13, by the Ambassador of France in New Delhi, Jerome Bonnafont. According to a statement from the embassy, the ceremony will be attended by the family of the young woman."

This award is the second highest civilian award in France and an equivalent to Padma Vibhushan. And it is given to honour those people who have achieved immense recognition because of their contribution in the fields of arts, culture or literature. B-town�s Badshah Shah Rukh Khan had earlier bagged this award.

Incidentally, Aishwarya was presented with this award last year itself; however, the actress then refused it owing to her father's health issues.

Other international celebrities who won this award are Robert Redford, George Clooney and Meryl Streep.

Sonakshi goes 'bindaas' for 'Joker'

"She is coming up with a 'jhatak-matak' act that is making her stand out from others in her ilk," informs a unit member of 'Joker', "She is going totally 'bindaas' with Akshay here and it shows on camera. She recently did a song for the film where the setting is totally 70s, what with a horde of 'hippie-cum-Sadhus' in the background."

Quiz Shirish Kunder (who has earlier worked with Preity Zinta in his debut directorial outing 'Jaan-E-Mann') about his leading lady and he says, "Sonakshi has that gift which I guess come from her genes. You have to tell Sonakshi just once about what you want and she does it just perfectly well. You don't have to explain things much to her. This reflects not just in her dance and body language but also the dialogue delivery as she brings in punctuations at just the right place in the right way."

Also starring Shreyas Talpade and Minissha Lamba with music by GV Prakash, 'Joker' arrives under the banner of Farah Khan & Shirish Kunder's 'Three's Company' and Akshay Kumar's 'Hari Om Entertainment Co.' and is a UTV co-production.

Katrina reinvented by Vogue

Dressed in black attire with ruffled hair style, Katrina looks appealing and oozing with attitude. The actress is styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania and photographed by Marc Hom. The magazine carries Katrina’s interview that highlights her journey into the industry and how she transformed into Bollywood’s hottest star. Some excerpts as follows…

Katrina stated that she believes that she was never the ‘next big thing’. “It was more a sort of ‘Okay, she was good in this film, she danced better in this film, and this was where she showed her range,” she added.

Born to an English mother and Kashmiri Indian father, she travelled around the world with her mother and seven siblings, before ending up in London. “I would look around a new city and crave a big house and financial security. Moving around and learning to deal with new people, it makes you internalise your thoughts.”

Her close friend Ayan Mukerji, director of ‘Wake Up Sid’, says there’s a contradiction to Kaif, “She has this energy. It makes her so lovable on celluloid, but I don’t think many people see the real Katrina.”

When Kaif first moved to India in the early 2000s, she got a few modelling jobs, made friends around the industry, and did the rounds. “I would go to the ad agencies and get called for auditions. Then she was offered a role by director Kaizad Gustad in the film ominously called Boom. She recounts with disarming honesty: “Meghna Reddy was meant to do it and she backed out. I remember I called Farrokh (Chothia) and I said, ‘Farrokh, I’m not really getting any work, and I don’t have much to speak of’. I still remember, he took the name of a famous actress and said, Even this person had to get around for a few months before really getting work, so you have to be a little patient. I mean, three months is not a lot’. That was his line, so I said okay.”

The first real hit in her filmography was ‘Namastey London’ in 2007, then ‘Race’ and ‘New York’, all leading up to the big bang - ‘Raajneeti’.

She found redemption finally with ‘Tees Maar Khan’, and that national craze, “Sheila Ki Jawani”. Kaif has never looked better. What worked for Kaif was her training with holistic fitness expert Yasmin Karachiwala, who stressed on functional training and Pilates. “It was about being focused. In the past, I’ve always set targets, but this time, I stayed on track. Now, I’ll eat a slice of pizza, but then I was on a diet for 12 days before I shot for the song. I was at the peak of my fitness, which is hard to maintain. It’s hard work and it’s tedious. In the future I could be heavier again, and I’m ok with that.”

On asking what she misses about her old life, Katrina replied, “Nothing. It was a different time. People have to remember that when they see changes in me. You have to grow up, you can’t be stunted. But am I going in the right direction? That I can only hope.”

Deepika – I never dreamt of acting with Superstar Rajini

Recently, when team ‘Rana’ met the press, our B-town’s tall beauty Deepika Padukone revealed that she had not even dreamt of acting with the Superstar of South Indian cinema when she was approached by KS Ravikumar to play Rajinikanth’s lady love in ‘Rana’.

She told that its not a dream come true, as she had never dreamt of it and that she is super excited to make her debutant movie in Tamil opposite the Superstar.

While addressing the press the actress also revealed that she has watched only ‘Robot’ by the Superstar and was impressed with his performance.

‘Rana’ is a period film set in the seventeenth century where Deepika plays a typical South-Indian beauty the lead role’s love. All her costumes for the flick have been designed by ace designer Neeta Lulla. Neeta Lulla had also designed costumes for period films like ‘Devdas’ and ‘Jodhaa Akbar,’ incidentally, even those movies featured Aishwarya Rai in the lead role!

Deepika’s first ever appearance as a South-Indian damsel has only increased more expectations for the movie!

Salman and Asin ready to re-shoot

The movie has already grabbed its fans; the songs are gradually becoming a rage. ‘Ready’ is making the right noise all around, which made the makers to transform the final draft more appealing and much better.

Buzz in the circles is that ‘Ready’ re-shot two of its popular tracks – “Character Dheela” and “Dhinka Chika”. They felt that the songs’ visuals didn’t give the right feel.

While “Character Dheela” was re-shot some time back, “Dhinka Chika” was recently shot at Film City. Salman Khan, in fact, had requested to modify even the lyrics of the song and initially had refused to shoot the song. Since the track was planned to be shot in Bangkok, the team went ahead and did the song nonetheless. Later the actor along with composer Devi Sri Prasad brought out new lyrics for the song.

Sources revealed that Salman wants “Dhinka Chika” to be the song of 2011. It already has the potential to be a huge chartbuster; hence he got new lyrics penned and re-recorded the whole song.

Now they also re-shot the song, which features Salman and Asin dancing along with group of dancers. Besides, they put up a set against a gala carnival-like atmosphere in Film City for the song. The music video has been directed by Sumit Dutt and the dance choreographed by Mudassar Khan.

According to producer Bhushan Kumar, Salman felt songs should be extraordinary as people get attached to them. “Without terrific visuals attached, there is no value to the film,” said Kumar and went on, “So Ready, which is made at Rs 55 crore, can re-shoot a song costing R 2-3 crore to enhance its quality. In Bangkok, we shot at live locations without any concept locations with just Salman, Asin and the dancers. This is the first song we shot but somehow the visual impact was missing. We constructed a set in Film City with a very bright, colourful, festive atmosphere.”

Hmmm, we hope the new version is much more exciting… And also hope that the ‘Dabangg’ star is happily satisfied with it…

Aishwarya, Sonam & Freida to represent India at Cannes

Bollywood’s hot beauties Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor and Freida Pinto is reported to light up the Red Carpet for L’Oreal Paris at the Cannes Film Festival to be held from the 11th-22nd of May 2011.

Aishwarya, who celebrates a decade of representing L’Oreal Paris at Cannes, will like previous years walk the red carpet on May 11 for the opening ceremony and will attend the Opening Gala cocktail and dinner while attending various events at Cannes on May 12.

Said the diva in a statement, “Being at Cannes for L’Oreal Paris has been an absolute pleasure and to experience this for the tenth consecutive year has been quite overwhelming. I thank the L’Oreal Paris team and the Cannes Film Festival for inviting me every year to represent India at one of the most glamorous red carpets on the world platform, celebrating cinema, showbiz, beauty, diversity and excellence. Several countries have always had more than one L’Oreal Paris spokeswoman at Cannes and I’m glad India is finally getting the same recognition. I am happy that with Sonam and Freida, both beautiful women, being invited to the festival this year, India will have a stronger presence, which is a clear sign of the growing importance of the country.”

While Sonam will be walking the red carpet on May 15, Freida will represent L’Oreal Paris at the amFAR (The American Foundation for AIDS Research) dinner and after-party on May 19. The amFAR event co-sponsored by L’Oreal Paris aims at raising money against AIDS.

On the other hand Sonam stated, “It has always been my dream to walk the red carpet at Cannes and it is soon going to be a reality thanks to L’Oreal Paris. I look forward to meeting actors and film makers from the world over and attending screenings of some interesting films. But what excites me the most is meeting the L’Oreal Paris international dream team of make-up artistes and seeing how they transform me for one of the most glamorous red carpets in the world.”

L’Oreal Paris will also introduce its first dream team of three internationally renowned make-up artists – Karim Rahman, Billy B and Rie Omoto who will design exclusive make-up looks for all the spokeswomen, jury members and actresses present during the course of the festival.

Anushka wants to go the Madhuri way

Unlike Madhuri Dixit who had to suffer over half a dozen flops before her 'Ek Do Teen' (Tezaab) act brought her into the reckoning, Anushka Sharma has enjoyed a far better Bollywood outing with Chopras ensuring a protected start for her.

"The other day I heard Madhuri say on stage that she managed to sustain for so long because people loved her for what she was and never expected her to be any different. Due to this she could afford to be a complete natural. I can't agree more since this is what I have always aspired as well. I too want to walk the same line," says Anushka.

Though she has been enjoying a better success ratio than many of her counterparts, Anushka has often been accused of missing out on popularity quotient due to her belief in 'doing things my own way'.

"Isn't this what Madhuri did as well i.e. working on her performance rather than worry about making appearances and being spotted at the right places with the right people," shoots back Anushka, "No, I am not comparing myself with her; I have a long way to go. But then I would definitely pick up what worked well for her."

We wish you luck for that Anushka

Ranbir to romance Anushka

Now that’s something interesting, na? Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma – If all goes well, then their pair will look all bright and beautiful on screen. But there’s something that was much more interesting than this… Just read on to find out…

According to grapevines, Karan Johar's Dharma Productions is all set to bring out the second venture of ‘Wake Up Sid’ famed director Ayan Mukherjee. While it was natural that Ayan chose Ranbir for the lead, as they are good buddies, the initial choice of actress had been surprising. It is said that Deepika Padukone was chosen to play opposite to Ranbir. However (and as all know) after the two split, the plan was changed.

Now it is heard that Yash Raj Films’ find, Anushka Sharma is being considered for the film.

Rumours have it that London beauty Katrina Kaif was also in the talks before they rounded on Anushka.

However, things are not confirmed from the concerned parties, especially from Ayan’s side, as he is the person who is taking care of the casting….

Sauda tarano ka hai, dil ke fasano ka hai

The excitement has set in when this news spread in the circles… The ex-lovebirds will soon be back together – ah ha but for professional commitment of course!

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will share the screen for ‘New York’ famed helmer Kabir Khan’s next venture. Some time back the speculations were rife that these two are being considered for the project, Sallu bhai had some reservations then about the casting. However things said to have been smoothened and the ground work is going to start.

On the other hand some sources claim that there is no animosity between Salman and Kat and they are still very good friends.

Incidentally, it is said that initially talks were going about Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra being considered for the female lead. However Katrina seemed to be better suited for the role. Besides, having worked with Kabir Khan, she is Kabir's favourite and also they share a very good equation.

Hmmmm, looks like finally the wait is over to see Kat and Salman together. While they looked adorable in the special track of ‘Tees Maar Khan’, it will be wonderful to see their chemistry in Kabir’s movie…

Let’s wait for this one… What say?
