Birthday gal Esha receives special gift
Esha Deol birthday falls today and the charming lass has received a Mahurat as a gift! Yes, her mummy dearest Hema Malini is hosting the event of her upcoming production, ‘Tell Me Oh Khuda’. Said the veteran actress “I guess this is the best birthday gift I could give Esha.”Besides ‘Tell Me Oh Khuda’, Hema has other two ventures in the plan for her daughter. While one movie will be directed by Deepa Sahi, the other one will be based on dance and music.
The shooting of ‘Tell Me Oh Khuda’ will be on roll from today and will cover the locales of Turkey,Goa, Mumbai and Rajasthan. As earlier said, the movie will have four eminent international cinematographers and the music will be handled by Pritam. The movie stars Esha, Arjan Bajwa, Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna, Chandan Roy Saniyal, besides other well-known casts. Hema Malini rubbished the rumours of the movie being a remake of Meryl Streep’s Mamma Mia. For, she said that ‘Tell me…’ has four different stories with a common link line. But it is not even remotely connected to Mamma Mia. “Honestly, how can I even think of doing Mamma Mia. I’m not in the same league as Meryl Streep,” said Hema. The actress for the time being isn’t acting in the movie and only involved as a producer.

When Lara was no to Blue…
She is smoothly gliding through the blue waters, flaunting her hot body in this Andrew D’Souza’s flick. But did you know initially this hottie was strictly against acting in this movie? Well, it is said that Lara Dutta was quite apprehensive to work in ‘Blue’, for her fear of water.
When Lara was approached by the producers for this underwater action film, her immediate answer was no. Being the most expensive film in the Hindi film industry, the producers were taken aback when she even refused to hear the script. They in turn asked Akshay Kumar’s help to convince her. Lara had severe hydrophobia and that is how Akki suggested her to take up swimming lessons.
Lara recounts that it was a sink or swim situation. However, she stepped into the movie with a brave heart. “I got a coach, who taught me to take the first lap in seven swimming sessions. Then for the next three months we just learnt how to swim and breathe underwater,” stated the actress to sources.
Hmm, now don’t see her swimming beautifully in the promos of ‘Blue’? Looks like Akki’s Fear Factor cajoling has helped here.

Kat’s fame makes director nervous
It is usually the actors who get jittery to work with famed filmmakers. Here it is vice versa.
Birdies revealed that director Rajkumar Santoshi was apprehensive to direct Katrina Kaif. The director brings two young vibrant actors, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif , in ‘Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’.
It is heard that the director was worrying about the actress’s fame overshadowing his failed attempts. And this made him to wear a low profile on the shooting sets. Talking over this, he had stated, “It becomes very difficult to work with an established star like Katrina. I would be very reluctant to ask Katrina for a retake.”
However, our Kat rubbished this in a light manner and said that the director has a good humour sense. She said, “We had a wonderful time working together on the sets. Hope nobody takes him seriously on that.”
Ohh.. On-screen khichayi??
