The world is a global marketplace and where once India was faced with watching Hollywood reruns, Bollywood is now one of the largest most powerful motion picture production facilities in the world.
Statistics: 1000 Hindi-language films are produced every year. Ticket sales exceed 3.6 billion.
Hollywood has its stars, so too does Bollywood and while the world’s tabloids may focus on Britney Spears, Yana Gupta and Abhay Deol are not far behind with a relationship that was secret, but now has been made public.
Randeep Hooda and Sushmita Sen are rumored to be having secret meetings on horseback, but the rumors were denied… “Where do you hear all this? Its complete rubbish,” laughs Sushmita. Aishwarya Rai has no intentions of quitting movies simply because she is married; and is paired with Gerard Depardieu in the film Asterix at the Olympic Games.
Another of Bollywood’s babes Monalisa (real name Antara Biswas) continues to draw attention and gasps from men (and some women) across India as she posses in revealing photographs and videos. Talking of photoshoots Gauri Khan graces the cover of US magazine “Vogue” and tells all in an expo’se.
Deepika Padukone a beautiful Bollywood heartbreaker, makes movies (latest Om Shanti Om) and works toward a Bachelors degree at Indira Gandhi National Open University.

- This former Miss Universe-turned movie star is quite a proficient. Recently, she returned the advance money - or signing amount in Bollywood parlance - of Rs.2.1 million to producer Vijay Galani who had signed her up for a movie. Reason? She was not provided the bound script of the movie on time as promised.
- Vijay Galani Moviez had signed Sushmita for a movie to be directed by “Shaka Laka Boom Boom” director Dharmesh Darshan. The actress said she had initially agreed to do the movie after she heard its narration from the director in August last year.
- When she signed the Letter of Intent the next month and was paid advance money out of her total fee of Rs.10.25 million, it was agreed that a bound script would be sent to her in November.
But instead of a script, what she received was a piece of paper in which the director had briefly outlined her role in the movie.
- Sushmita got annoyed at the producer going back on his word, she was also surprised that the role outlined in the piece of paper was completely dissimilar from the director’s portrayal of it prior.
- The chronicle does not stop there. No sooner did Sushmita distance herself from the movie than Govinda, the movie’s leading man, also walked out of it saying without the actress playing the female lead, the whole concept of the movie would change. And he would not like that.
- Professionalism and unity exemplified by Govinda and Sushmita has put the producer in a stain and the director in a impasse.
