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.

Narrow escape for Abhi and Ash

It was a real narrow escape for Abhi and Ash on the sets of Mani Ratnam’s Raavan. Mani Ratnam’s Raavan has been in the news but not for pleasant reasons really. Earlier it was the director having chest pain and the shootings being postponed and now a tusker creates trouble turns dangerous. Shooting has been on for the film in the jungles of Kerala and Abhi and Ash have surely been enjoying their time together in the serene locales. However the other day was one of shock. A tusker on the sets of the film went totally out of control and killed the mahout, destroyed a lot of property including equipment like lights and props. Abhi and Ash had a very narrow escape. Blocking the road, the tusker prevented the crew from going back to the hotel. It was after a great ordeal which lasted for a long time that the forest authorities could bring the big monster under control.

The forest authorities made arrangements for the crew including our very own Abhi and Ash to move to a safer location. Hoping that there are no more untoward incidents and that Mani Ratnam’s Raavan finishes the schedules on time and hits the theatres. With this incident having send a terrible shock wave everyone on the sets too would want the film to be completed as soon as possible.

"Dostana" from Karan Johar - hit or flop?

"Dostana" from the genius Karan Johar is the next big budget, rosy looking film that we all are looking forward to. The promos are out and Karan is introducing one song after the other. The Punjabi number and of course the hit number "Desi girl" are right on top of the charts. The trio seem to have done a great job. A movie about friendship (gay do I hear), love and life, the movie promises to deliver all that you deliver from a Karan Johar special. With enough emotions, fun, frolic and drama it is a complete package for the urban cine-goer. All set for release this November 14, it is definitely one movie that I am looking forward to seeing this month.

The movie is directed by Karan's assistant Taran Mansukhani.Shot in the beautiful locales of Miami , it is all fun...fun and fun....With Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra doing full justice to their characters, the film is sure to reach the expectations that it has already created. Priyanka is looking stunning after shedding all those extra kilos. “For Fashion, I had to put on six kilos and later had to shed chip by chip as the character progressed in the film. My body structure in Dostana is more toned than in Fashion as it is a completely beach film. I’ve worked very hard on my body,” Priyanka told IANS.

What do you have to say on "Dostana" - is it a hit or flop"? For me it is a hit and am surely going to see it. Waiting.....
