Shah Rukh Khan and not Abhay lured Preeti into films!
Preeti Desai, former Miss Great Britain and actor Abhay Deol’s girlfriend is all set to sizzle in Bollywood through her forthcoming film ‘Shor in the city’ .
Preeti will be seen opposite Hollywood actor Sendhil Ramamuthry.
We bumped into Preeti at the Lakme Fashion Week few days back and the debutante’s friend gave us an interesting dope on what made her come to India and Bollywood.
We assumed it was Abhay who drew her to films but to our surprise, it happened to be none other than Shah Rukh Khan!
The London based lass was lured into Bollywood by Shah Rukh.
A friend of Preeti was heard saying, ‘The Badshah of Bollywood - Shahrukh Khan” himself suggested her to try acting. Apparently Shahrukh knows a family friend of Preeti, through whom he met her, which is when he advised her to come down to India and give films a shot, recommending that she join Anupam Kher’s acting classes. Already having her own share of the celebrity life, former ‘Miss Great Britain’ seriously considered working on the thought and next thing you know, “ Shor in the City” happens.
Now if you follow Shah Rukh’s advice, you are bound to succeed, isn’t it Preeti?

Chulbul Pandey isn’t Cheddi Singh’s favourite
Sonu Sood’s role in Dabangg is definitely a benchmark in his film career.
The actor is now ready to scale new heights with some interesting offers up his sleeve. Although he is all charged to lap up new challenges, Sonu doesn’t see himself foraying into the small screen anytime soon.
Talking to the media recently, Sonu said, “I am not against appearing on TV. If I get a good offer to host something interesting, I will definitely take it up. But my focus is films for now.”
The actor, who was loved for playing Cheddi Singh in 2010’s biggest blockbuster, also has his favourites when it comes to stars on the small screen. And please note, despite his closeness with Salman Khan, Sonu isn’t biased about his choice.
He agrees that Salman has been a great host on Dus Ka Dum and Bigg Boss, but it’s not the Khan who he thinks is the best. Talking about his fave on small screen Sonu revealed, “No one can beat Amitabh Bachchan. The way he hosts Kaun Banega Crorepati, his charm, his elegance, his aura no one can ever match it.”

Prateik beats Akki, Abhi
The actor beat Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan to land the lead role in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
Speculations about who will finally be Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Milkha Singh have been on for a while now. Initially, there were talks of Akshay Kumar stepping into the shoes of the Flying Sikh. Abhishek Bachchan, Mehra’s Delhi 6 man was also in the running.
However, it seems that Prateik Babbar has beat both the actors to land the lead role in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
Our source revealed, “Mehra wants bulk dates to finish the shoot for this film. He needs around nine months for workshops, rehearsals, and the shoot.
He had the same problem with Prateik who’s very busy with five films at the moment. However, since the script is good, Prateik is trying to take time out for the film.”
“Rakeysh is very keen on Prateik. The director has seen his work in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Dhobi Ghat and has realised his potential as an actor. Prateik is, however, keeping his lips sealed about the project,” added the source.
When we contacted Prateik, his spokesperson said, “We are not in a position to talk about this. Please get in touch with Rakyesh’s Omprakash Mehra Productions office.”
Bhaag Milkha Bhag will be the first biographical film to be made on a sports icon in India. Milkha Singh’s story is a stunning tale of the triumph of human spirit. He ran away from Pakistan during the partition, after witnessing all the bloodshed and losing his own parents, who were killed in front of him.
However, Milkha Singh is keen on having Akshay Kumar essay his character.

Farah Khan, Vishal-Shekhar and a few more celebs are being stalked by a common stalker.
And Farah will soon be changing her cell number. “There is one person who’s stalking all of us. But we are not planning to take any serious or legal action in this context.

I don’t even wish to discuss him any further,” said Farah, when she came to Delhi on Friday to support Anna Hazare and to meet her friend, designer Rashmi Dogra, at the WIFW. Why are they being stalked? “We don’t know the reason. Perhaps he’s doing it to get publicity,” she added.

Sharmila Tagore hates surprises
Sharmila Tagore didn’t need any convincing to walk the ramp for Joy Mitra on Day II of the WIFW.
She said, “I couldn’t say no to Joy. He’s a Bengali, and you know na, the kind of connection all the Bongs share.”
Many actresses get extremely nervous while walking the ramp, saying they’re not really ‘professional ramp models’. Does she feel the same way? “Not at all. See, if you start competing with the models and try the catwalk, things are obviously going to be difficult for you. I would just walk the way I generally walk,” she said, spraying her hair backstage and adding some more colour to her lips. In fact, she’s someone who made people there a bit nervous, what with all of them going crazy, saying they didn’t want anything to go wrong when “Sharmilaji comes”. She nods in agreement.
So she’s okay being known as intimidating? “Yeah, I know... see, I hate surprises, so I don’t like things going wrong at the eleventh hour. Perhaps it comes with age. I’m a senior actress; all these years and my experience has made me like that.”

Playing a porn star was fantastic: Carla Gugino
ANI, Washington, April 7: Carla Gugino has admitted that she garnered quite a bit of satisfaction stepping into the shoes of an X-rated sensation in Sebastian Gutierrez's 'Elektra Luxx'.
'Elektra Luxx' tells the story of a retired porn star attempting to come to terms with her now "normal" life as a sex-education instructor at her local community center and impending motherhood.Playing this porn star was fantastic; I fell in love with this character Elektra Luxx. We also get to meet her sister Cecilia in this film and I've always been fascinated by two people that are raised in the same way but go in two completely different directions," Fox News quoted Luxx as saying.
"I got to work with such an incredible group of women. I think I would be a little hesitant to play this kind of character if I didn't trust implicitly the filmmakers vision and Sebastian (the director) loves women and has that European sensibility so we all felt comfortable jumping into it," she added.

Dilip Kumar in legal row with builder, judge recuses himself
PTI, Mumbai, Apr 7: A Bombay High Court Judge today declined to hear a petition filed by thespian Dilip Kumar, embroiled in a legal row with a city builder over redevelopment of his Pali Hill bungalow.
"Not before me," said Justice V M Kanade when the actor''s petition came up before the court, without assigning any reason for his recusal.
The petition would now come up before another judge in due course, High Court sources said.
The actor had challenged a lower court order appointing a Court Commissioner to inspect the property valued at more than Rs 100 crore in the posh Pali Hill area of the metropolis where some veteran Bollywood actors reside.
Dilip Kumar had moved into this bungalow as a tenant in 1953 on a long term lease on a condition that he would not alter or modify the structure, the petition says. The property belonged to the Khatau family which subsequently sold it to Narain Bhojwani.
Some years back the actor sought permission from the civic body to redevelop the property. He joined hands with a builder who undertook to erect a six storeyed building.
Being aggrieved, Bhojwani family, also in real estate business, moved a small causes court challenging the actor''s move to redevelop the property. They contended that one of the conditions on which he was allotted the bungalow was that he would not redevelop the property without the consent of the owner. No such consent was obtained, the Bhojwani family said.
The small causes court recently passed an order appointing a Commissioner to inspect the property and submit a report. The actor challenged this order saying that it was passed without application of mind and was illegal.
Aamir Khan, Bollywood support Anna Hazare

Aamir has reportedly written a letter to voice his support for Hazare''s movement while other celebrities took to twitter to back the campaign.
Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur said, "I support Anna Hazare''s fast for national debate on Lokpal Bill. Atleast need Parliament to come out and respond to issue. People like Anna Hazare will force a people''s movement against the system. Like Gandhi did against the British."
Anupam Kher asked fans to join the campaign.
"When somebody is fighting corruption, I don''t judge his ways. I applaud his intentions and actions. I am with ANNA HAZARE. Are you? (sic)," he said.
Actress Diya Mirza tweeted her support. "Finally, people are voicing strong support for a man that has, should and will be a great example to our generation. I support Anna Hazare."
Actor and social activist Rahul Bose said: "That it takes an Anna Hazare fasting unto death to effect systemic change is comment enough. corruption part of our DNA."
Juhi Chawla said, "I am complete and absolute supporter of Shri Anna Hazare! All those with a conscience and a clean heart speak up.
Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar: "Overwhelming momentum generates in for Anna Hazare''s fight against corruption. Is India gonna be the next Egypt??"
Pritish Nandy: "Proud to see common man come out in support of Anna Hazare. It took a 72-year-old man to fast unto death to wake us up."
Ranvir Shorey: "Anna Hazare''s crusade is a great litmus test to see if India has any grit left at all. Or have we become a country of corrupt schmoozers."
Husband Mahesh behind item song ''Laila'', says Lara Dutta
PTI, Mumbai, Apr 7: Bollywood actress Lara Dutta, who is all charged up for her first home production, ''Challo Dilli'', says it was her husband Mahesh Bhupathi who conceived the item song ''Laila O Laila'' which features Yana Gupta.
"We needed a song in the film that had a little bit of masti and was based on a woman. Mahesh loved the film ''Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'' and my character was Laila in the film. So it was his idea that we should get Laila and remix it. Yana is doing an item song ''Laila O Laila'' in the film. No one except Yana was approached," Lara told PTI here.
"We were lucky enough to get the rights of the song. It is not a tribute to Zeenatji but I would say it is a tribute to the iconic song. We have kept Zeenatji in the loop and yes, she has liked the song," Lara said.
Yana grooves to remixed version of Zeenat Aman''s popular number ''Laila O Laila'' from the film ''Qurbani'' in Challo Dilli.
Directed by Shashant Shah of ''Dasvidaniya'' fame, the film stars Lara and Vinay Pathak.
"Of course the song adds a value to the film. People will have expectations since ''Laila O Laila'' was a classic song, so people will expect the song to be as good as the original one or better, and comparisons will be made. But we are not trying to make a statement that ours is better," the former beauty queen said.
Produced by Eros International in association with Big Daddy Productions (owned by Globosport of Mahesh Bhupathi) and Lara''s Bheegi Basanti, the film releases on April 29.

Lara Dutta inspired by 'DDLJ'
IANS, New Delhi, April 7: If the train-catching sequence in the promo of Lara Dutta's debut production 'Chalo Dilli' gives you a sense of deja vu, it was meant to be! The actress admits that she took inspiration from 1995 blockbuster 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ)'.
'There is one scene in the film where I run to catch the train and Vinay's character Manu...he extends his hand to pull me onto the train. And, of course, we were inspired by DDLJ,' said Lara.
The iconic scene from DDLJ featured Bollywood's most loved romantic couple Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan. And now moviegoers will see Vinay and Lara reprising it in 'Chalo Dilli', a comedy film.
Lara, however, rules out there was ever an intent to outdo the chemistry of the original scene.
'In no way are we ever going to compete with a film like DDLJ. It's just that when somethings inspire you, you try and give an ode to them. So that scene is inspired by DDLJ, yet it is quite unique in its own,' she added.
The trailer of the movie was released alongside Abhinay Deo's 'Game'.

I'm not a rocket that'd be launched repeatedly, says Shraddha Kapoor
IANS, Mumbai, April 7: Shakti Kapoor's daughter Shraddha, who made her debut with 'Teen Patti', has bagged lead role in 'Luv Ka The End' and says she takes it as another opportunity to prove her mettle.
'I didn't consider my first film as my launch pad. People exaggerated that a star kid is being launched. I am not a rocket that I would be launched repeatedly. Honestly, in my first film, I got an opportunity to show that I can act and this is second one,' Shraddha told IANS in an interview.
Y-films is launching a new face Taaha Shah opposite Shraddha in 'Luv ka The End', which is slated to release May 6.
There was no dearth of big names in the cast of director Leena Yadav's 'Teen Patti' - from Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan to Hollywood veteran Ben Kingsley were present in it, but they couldn't turn the movie into a profitable box office venture.
'I met people who had never heard of 'Teen Patti'. It hurts. I was really low when it didn't do well. First film really matters. If first film doesn't work, it's very difficult to get your second film,' said Shraddha.
'In fact, after 'Teen Patti', I auditioned for another film and I was finalised for it. But then someone else was taken for that part. I cried a lot,' she added.
Shraddha left no stones unturned to fair through the audition of 'Luv ka The End'.
'Luckily, I have got an opportunity to work in the film. I thought either you cry or do something about it. When I got a call for the audition, I made sure that anyhow I have to get it. So I worked very hard, I worked harder than I expected myself to do,' said Shraddha.

PTI, Mumbai, Apr 67: Brushing aside rumours of selling her IPL cricket team Kings XI Punjab, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta said she will never go out of it completely.
"We were going to do a stake offload, a bit of it. But there was this random rumour (of selling it). I don''t think I will ever go out of it completely because its my baby. I have worked very hard for it. I have given my life to it. I can''t just wash my hands off it. But I think now it is settled and is in its own zone," Preity, who is currently hosting a TV show, said.
The dimpled beauty along with her ex-beau Ness Wadia and others acquired ownership rights in 2008 for the Mohali-based Twenty20 cricket team of the IPL. The team was bought by Zinta, Wadia and their business partner, Mohit Burmani, for USD 76 mn in the first season of the Indian Premier League.
There were rumours that shaken by the scrutiny by income tax and other officials, who came down heavily on former IPL Chief Lalit Modi, Preity and Ness were looking at offloading their stake in the team. Also, her cricket franchise ran into trouble with BCCI for faulty monetary transactions.
However, Preity and co-owner Ness were cleared of all allegations and now the chirpy actress is enjoying hosting ''Guinness World Records: Ab India Todega'' on Colors.
"I did the show because I loved the format and the channel adjusted the entire date schedule around me. I would not have been able to do the show had it been run during the IPL. I am very excited about the IPL," she said adding "after the show, I will be cheering for my team."
On whats next after IPL, the 36-year-old actress said, "After IPL..films. This year you will see me in films. I am doing movies...really cool ones. The announcement will come from producers."
