Earlier, Salman opted out of Chak De! as YRF refused to pay his asking price. However, now they have started paying megabucks to the A-List actors like Aamir Khan for Dhoom 3. Even Salman is getting his asking price this time, reported the tabloid.

Sonakshi Sinha to sizzle in item number

Sonakshi Sinha may not have gyrated to Munni Badnaam Hui but buzz is that she will set the screen on fire in an item number in Joker. And guess what, she's not alone, Katrina Sheila Kaif will be sharing the screen with her. Buzz is that Sonakshi wanted the audience to see her 'non-Dabangg' side as well. "She kept telling Farah she wanted her own Munni and Sheila. Not only Sonakshi but even her parents were keen to see her dance on screen," a close source told Mumbai Mirror.

So, Farah decided to take the oomph meter to another level by getting Sonakshi and Katrina to gyrate to an item number in Shirish Kunder's Joker. The two ladies are expected to sizzle to a folk-fusion number.

Sonakshi confirmed the news and told Mumbai Mirror, "It is good news for me. I'm finally going to dance in Joker. I wouldn't call it an item song because I'm the film's heroine and guest artistes perform item songs. But, I know it will be well shot and lavish and aesthetic because it's being choreographed by Farah Khan. All my worries are sorted out."

However, she did not confirm that Katrina will join her in the song. "Well, a top actress will be joining me. That's all I can say at the moment."

Ra.One DVDs to have alternate endings

So its not just 3D! Superhero flick Ra.One starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal will feature alternate endings in DVD version.

SRK wanted to release the theatre version with alternate endings but he avoided the risk, as this concept is not so popular right now.

"Shah Rukh initially toyed with the idea of releasing theatrical versions of the film with alternate endings. But he soon decided it wasn't worth the risk and settled on the DVD option," a source told Mid Day.

Shah Rukh was apparently confused with the climax of the film and hence, the idea of alternate endings popped up. "SRK has kept the making of Ra.One extremely interactive. He's taken opinions from experts as well as the layman and even his kids Aaryan and Suhana. The attempt is to make sure the film is well received across the board. However, when it came to the climax he was unsure how to end the story. Hence, the option of multiple endings in the DVD," the source added.

Arjun Rampal agrees to do a cameo for David Dhawan

He doesn`t want to do cameos right now, but Arjun Rampal has agreed to play a small part in David Dhawan`s Rascals and none other than Sanjay Dutt, producer of the movie, convinced him to accept the offer.

"Yes, I finally agreed to do Rascals. I always wanted to work with David Dhawan. And it is Sanjay Dutt`s first production. So all the more special. I`ve about 20 days` work. However, cameos as a rule are not what I`m looking for in my career right now," said Arjun before leaving for Bangkok to shoot for his part in the movie.

Initially Arjun said no to the role and informed Dhawan of his inability to accept the offer of the film that also has Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn.

Says a source, "Although Arjun was tempted to work with David Dhawan for the first time the last thing he wanted do was to get into the cameo space again. Repeatedly, filmmakers have put Arjun in the cameo space with the promise of bigger roles later. Karan Johar and Farhan Akhtar had given Arjun walk-on parts in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. These led to sizeable parts in We Are Family and Rock On. But now Arjun is done with cameos."

The 38-year-old Arjun is also looking forward to seeing how audiences react to his part of the main antagonist in Ra.One.

"I`ve played the bad guy successfully in Om Shanti Om. Even Raajneeti had shades of grey. So there`s no apprehension about acceptability as a villain. At the end of the day, a good role is a good role, black or white or grey. I`m happy with the way my career has shaped up," he said.

Anushka Sharma: I know nothing about cricket

"I know nothing about cricket,” laughs Anushka Sharma, who plays the lead in Patiala House that releases today, and revolves hugely around India’s favourite sport. The only time that she followed the game was during one of the World Cups when she was in class 10.

“I still don’t know

why I was watching it. But there was something that had me hooked on to it. I watched every match and read up all the details. And after that World Cup, I didn’t ever switch on the TV to watch a cricket match. But I wouldn’t run in the opposite direction if my father or brother were watching it.” The actor, however, is not averse to the idea of watching the upcoming World Cup matches in stadiums across India. But they are not on her priority list.

“Any sport becomes fascinating when you watch it live, in a packed stadium with hundreds and thousands of spectators cheering for different teams and players. I don’t mind watching any game for that matter, even if I know very little about it,” says Sharma, adding that she may watch a match or two at home, if she has the time.

Back home, her brother and father, she says, are big cricket fanatics. “They won’t move from their seats, sometimes keeping their postures constant because they think if they change it, a key player will get out. My brother and his friends don’t entertain anyone in the room if team India goes through a grim situation during the match,” says Sharma, with a chuckle.

She admits that while shooting for Patiala House, she faced a problem recognising most of the cricketers on the sets. “Herschelle Gibbs and Andrew Symonds were in the news then. So, I recalled their faces clearly. But I couldn’t identify the others,” reminisces Sharma.

 “But I didn’t let anyone know that I was poor with cricket. If Akshay (co-star Kumar) introduced me to one of them, I would smile and nod as if I had their match statistics running at the back of my mind. The minute Akshay turned around, I would ask Nikhil (director Advani) to tell me who had I spoken to or shaken hands with just then.”

Aditi Rao to romance Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar

Here's the best kept secret in La-La Land. Aditi Rao, the scene-stealing actress from Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6, is the parallel female lead opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar.

Initially Aditi was summoned to play the leading lady opposite Ranbir, but the part finally went to half Czech and half Pakistani Nargis Fakhri.

"I was called to meet Imtiaz sir for the other part (Nargis Fakhri). But he had already set his mind on Nargis, signed her and started training with her. She was training for many months," said Aditi, who also features in Sudhir Mishra`s Yeh Saali Zindagi.

Luckily Aditi and Nargis have no scenes together in Rockstar.

"I`m happy with the part I finally got in Rockstar. I am the narrator who connects Ranbir's character to the audience. It's a part like Rani Mukerji's in Veer-Zaara. I play a young journalist. The chemistry between me and Ranbir is… well, you will have to see it yourself," she said.

Apparently Aditi has powerful scenes, but the film's publicity will be designed to spotlight the Ranbir-Fakhri pairing. Hence, the orchestrated stories of a real-life relationship between the hot new pair.

"Trust me, these rumours of Nargis and Ranbir will die down the day Rockstar releases. Poor Aditi. She has a very important role in Rockstar. But she is married and just not fodder for gossip," said a female co-star of Ranbir.

Shah Rukh Khan to be in jail on Valentine's Day

Bollywood is usually associated with love and romance, but this Valentine's Day celebrities are not so enthusiastic about celebrating it and most of them will be busy working.

This is what they have to say:

Shah Rukh Khan: My Valentine's Day will be in jail since on that day I'll be shooting in a jail in Malaysia for a film.

Deepika Padukone: I would be in Bhopal shooting for Prakash Jha's film "Aarakshan". So basically no special plans for Feb 14.
