SRK’s RA One runs into legal trouble over copyright

SRK’s ambitious project RA One which is slated to be his Diwali release has run into legal trouble. The movie stars Sharukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. With just a few days left for the release and Eros International having acquired the world distribution rights for a whooping 150 crores, SRK seems to have a lot of sorting out to do if he wants the movie to be released this Diwali.

Yash Patnaik, a television writer and producer claims that the concept is originally his and claims copyright for it. The Bombay high court has directed that Rupees one crore be deposited as a pay-order to the court if the film has to be released. Yash Patnaik states that he has not been given credit for the concept and want 10% in the profits if it is not done. Yash Patnaik had developed the concept in the year 2006 and his character was called “ONE”.

With so much going on behind the scenes it is wait and watch to see how the super hero handles this grave situation and whether SRK would have yet another hit this Diwali.

The Big B starrer Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap is all set for release today the 1st of July. The Big B has left no stones unturned in the promotion of his home production venture. Amitabh Bachchan recollects one of the special moments of shooting for the film and says "I had to ride this Harley Davidson for one of my scenes. The bike is very stylish but when I tried to ride it, it felt as if I am pulling an entire building along with me." It did take him some time and effort to get the bike going. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience and has plans of buying a Harley Davidson of his own very soon. He says "It's a fantastic bike and I want to buy one soon. I want to ride it on Mumbai streets. I wish I had bought one before but it's never too late,". We may soon have the privilege of seeing the Big B on the streets of Mumbai on his mean machine, surely Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap".

Written and directed by Poori Jagannath. The director makes his debut into Bollywood with this mega project. The movie is a thriller with the right mix of humour, action and drama. The movie Bbudah Hoga Tera Baap has the Big B playing a retired gangster who is settled in Paris and makes a trip to India for one last assignment. The angry young man is back again is what the film screams out loud and clear. The star cast includes Raveena Tandon, Hema Malini, Sonal Chauhan and Charmy Kaur.

Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine put off

Aishwarya had just signed an ambitious film project with Madhur Bhandarkar titled “Heroine” where she was to play the female lead. A few days of shooting too have been completed. There has been a lot of speculation on whether she would complete the film before going on maternity leave or not. The initial news said that she would complete the film and Madhur Bhandarkar would plan the promotion in such a way that Aishwarya could be a part of it without any problems. However, there are constraints when it comes with working with a pregnant actress. The movie requires her to dance, run around, smoke and drink which is not possible for Aishwarya at the moment. The media soon came out with a buzz that Priyanka Chopra may replace Aishwarya in the movie "Heroine". However, there is no such thing going to happen.

All the speculation was put to rest when UTV Motion Pictures was out with their press release that stated “At this point nothing is more important than Aishwarya's well being and good health. In that context, we have all mutually agreed that the best step would be to avoid shooting further rather than proceeding with an incredibly demanding schedule over the coming months. Even as we will truly miss this opportunity to work with Aishwarya, the entire unit wishes her the very best for the exciting time ahead”.

Madhur Bhandarkar sure would not like to take chances with a five month pregnant Aishwarya. She can now take a good break and enjoy all the pampering. Sources say that it is going to be a November baby. Astrologers have gone on to say that the couple would have a baby girl or else there is also a possibility of twins. We wish the couple all the best and Aishwarya a happy journey to motherhood.

The Big B in his blog went on to make the public announcement. He says “NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED!!!" The thrill of a would be grandfather is evident in the excited statement of the Big B. Aishwarya is currently busy wrapping up her projects including Madhur Bhandarkar’s “Heroine” wherein she plays the female lead. There is a lot of speculation regarding Aishwarya's return to Bollywood and whether motherhood would affect Aishwarya’s fan following. Will she be able to get back to playing heroine roles again? Guess all this is trivial at the moment when one compares it with the pleasures that motherhood offers.
