Madhuri Dixit to join the bandwagon

Madhuri Dixit is to emerge with the Bachchans during the North American leg of The Unforgettable Tour that kicks off at The Rogers Centre in Toronto on July 18, 2008.

"For Madhuri, it'd be the easiest thing in the world for her to join the concerts in the US as she is based there," revealed a close friend of the  Bachchans .

Besides the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai) other Bollywood faculty that will be a part of the whole expedition includes Bipasha Basu, Ritesh Deshmukh and the duo of Vishal-Shekhar.

Regardless of plunging the tour as a brain child of Amitabh Bachchan, Wizcraft, which is supervising the  the tour, is not ready to jeopardy relying on just the Bachchans, Bipasha and Ritesh to drag in the crowds, sentient of their boundaries as live entertainers.

Other Bollywood stars who have been roped in to dapper up the tour contribution at other chosen places include Kareena's beaus, Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan(past and present..lol..)

Amul Star Voice of India, Chotte Ustad, Star Plus

Only three contestants were left for the final up till yesterday for the Amul Star Voice of India, Chotte Ustad.

But during the latest non-telecast shoot, Prakriti Giri has been eliminated from Amul Star Voice of India-Chhote Ustaad.  Everyone first deliberated that this 12-year-old girl from Darjeeling would tag along the route of Indian Idol 3 winner Prashant Tamang as she continued her balanced scramble in the show, making it to the top five. But dissimilar to Prashant, Prakriti failed to grasp enough votes from the audience which would have saved her from the elimination round. The elimination episode is yet to be telecast and will be aired this Friday.

While liked by the judges, Prakriti faced callous opponents in the form of Aishwarya from Ahmedabad and Anvesha Dutta from Kolkata. In all the voting episodes, Prakriti managed to confine sufficient amount of votes to stay in the battle. She also made a record of sorts by securing the highest number of votes in all the episodes.

Nevertheless, last week, Aishwarya beat her to the top smudge with the uppermost number of votes.   I see Aishwarya as queen of the show.  She knows how to catch the fancy of the crowd as she is a unadorned superb singer in accurate sagacity and consider it is all about promotion. If one is not marketing the capacity then I am afraid one might gap at the rear. Full marks to the Hon'ble judges, as they have made their target clear to all of us. Now Anwesha have to substantiate herself to choose the popular song. But in spite of all the dramas and political views, it is better if she  ponder on her singing only. Adesh precisely said; mike & camera don’t lie & of course when Pritam said, Anwesha is Anwesha. I think it means Anwesha is a brand and a class apart.

Not only India but the total world is behind you to witness the historic moment when history will be created on the Small screen as our Anwesha will be crowned Chhote Ustaad on 5th April ’08.

I am sorry, Aishwariya, I don’t see you in the crowning glory. You lack behind something, which is beyond me and my Team to articulate. Actually we see Anwesha as a full package. She has unfussiness, beauty, exquisiteness, traits, endowment, down to earth outlook, tremendous throw of voice, appropriateness of  her voice to many heroines and above all stupendous singing capabilities.
May I take this opportunity to request you all to kindly support Anwesha whole heartedly by sending maximum number of votes to her so as to enabling her winning this competition. 
It becomes incumbent upon us to back and support right talent and that is only ANWESHA.

King Khan and Ash come together for movie

Sharukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai are getting together to act again after a long period of gap.  This couple could not come togther after Devdas was due to the fact that Sallu bhai was very possessive of Aish.

Salman Khan had made this very clear on the sets of CHALTE CHALTE (2003), in which Ash was to act opposite Sharukh, but then due to a fight on the sets between Sallu and Sharukh, Ash could not star, and later Rani was chosen.

But at present everything is over between the old lovebirds. Today Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is enjoying the triumph of her first post marriage release, JODHAA AKBAR. She is also known to be “The first fully active actress after marriage!”

The onscreen chemistry between SRK and Aish are noticeable, there is no two opinion about it. The fact that their pairing in films like, JOSH (2000),  MOHABBATEIN (2000)  and  DEVDAS (2002) proved to be a big knock , cannot be shorn of.

The general view was that Aishwarya when Josh was released, Aish shared a better chemistry with SRK (who played her brother in the film) than with her love significance, Chandrachur Singh. Ash and Sharukh have that kind of appearance, which draws people to their films. Till today, their item number, ‘Ishq Kameena’ from SHAKTI -THE POWER (2002) is amazing.

Bachchan Bahu was asked if she was ready to work with Sharukh, she said that she is ready to work with him, provided that there is a proposal worthy of her consideration.

That is a statement worth to be listened by filmmakers.

Kangana Ranaut to shed her blouse

 

 

 

 

Kangana Ranaut to shed her blouse

1. Kangana Ranaut is shedding her blouse in the upcoming movie’Fashion’. Earlier it was decided that a body double would do the sequence, but later Kangana herself decided to give the shot. The shot would resemble the ramp walk sequence of the Lakme Fashion show, in which model Carol Gracious dropped her blouse during the ramp walk and termed it as ‘wardrobe malfunction’. In this present film, Kangana is playing the role of a supermodel.

1. King Khan will shake his legs along with the top ten bahus of television in an event of Balaji Telefilms ‘Global Award Function’ in Mumbai. He is thrilled to do dance with the super beautiful bahus of small tube. The tune of the song will be Chake De India, but the wordings will be different. Ganesh Hegde is the choreographer of the dance show.
2. Deepika Podukone has started keeping a distance from her mentor Farah Khan. According to Farah Khan, when success reins someone, often this type of arrogance is inevitable to some people.But deepika should keep in mind that she got overnight stardom because of the film OSO and she should never forget her first tutor and mentor.
3. Akshey Khanna recently purchased a Reva car, because it has zero fuel emission. He wanted to be just eco-friendly.

5. Ashutosh Gowrikar’s ‘Jodha Akbar’ would be facing immense crisis from historians and critics, because according to them, Jodha was Akbar’s daughter in law not wife. Well, in that case the film will be in doldrums even before it release and AG will have to face the music.
6. Saif Ali Khan would anything for his ladylove. Recently he slashed his palm to prove that he will do anything for Kareena.
7. According to the latest research of Denmark Scientists, film stars Aishwarya Rai and Anjolina are related to each other from their forefathers side, that’s why they both have blue eyes. Researchers allege that people with the particular colour of blue in their eyes belong to one family of ancestors.
8. Fardeen Khan has been awarded drug detoxification programme by the Mumbai Police. Earlier in the year 2001, he was arrested red-handed when he was caught buying cocaine in Juhu.
9. King Khan will be seen in small tube very soon as he will be conducting the KBC new series in no matter of time.
10. Emraan Hashmi’s newly married life is on the rocks as he is dating a Pakistani actress Sana. They became very friendly during the shooting their film Jannat in Capetown. His wife is now contemplating whether she should leave Emraan or just give him another chance.
