I'm under pressure to promote films: Ajay Devgn
Bollywood star Ajay Devgn may have appeared in "Kaun Banega Crorepati" to promote his forthcoming comedy "Golmaal 3", but he actually opposes the new marketing gimmick of using TV shows to market movies."I am always under the producer's pressure to do such things to promote films. If one is doing it, then another has to do it as well because it becomes a habit for the audience to watch such things, " Ajay told in an interview.
He joined Arshad Warsi, Kunal Khemu, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor and director Rohit Shetty on the quiz show hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan for Sony. The film is releasing Friday.
Special efforts are made to create space for movie stars in television programmes, says Ajay.
"Scenes are written to incorporate the stars of the respective film to promote it (through serials). It's not a good idea. I don't know where it will meet its end. But one can't stop it, will have to do it unanimously. I always do
Mallika Sherawat goes sober for her Arab fans
Mallika Sherawat, the Hisss...sensational snake woman, who has managed to take every moment of her film release with utmost high profile electric density, was at a much sobered look, at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival extravaganza night, in Doha, Qatar, on the 26th of October night.It was quite a different Mallika, at the venue, with her almost all covered hot bod, as she was seen adorned in a black sleek gown, which had a silver sequined bodice, attached with the lower flowing gown just in the center enough to hide her belly button from prying eyes!
The gown, which was a halter neck creation, reportedly bought from a new comer in the fashion world, based in Qatar, did give the snake woman a very elegant and chic look, but it did disappoint her fans who were expecting the dare-to-bare actress show and reveal more of skin!
However, the jet black color, and the sleazy cut of the gown, more than made up for her lack of skin show, thereby justifying her role as the snake woman.

Facebook in Golmaal 3
No, we are not talking about the famous social networking site, but a dog!Yes you heard it right. Trust film makers to come up with the wackiest of ideas to entertain their audience!
Golmaal 3 has a huge star cast to boast about, like all Rohit Shetty movies. And if this was not enough, he has even kept the same dog he used in his previous movies! The dog in question plays the role of Kareena's pet in the trilogy.
The writers of this comic caper decided to name Kareena's dog 'Facebook', just to add to the humour of the story.
While we can't stop feeling amused at such a choice, wonder what is the reaction of
Abhishek and Deepika: Can they become a hit couple?
Abhishek Bachchan, the man with the stubble, is all lost in the forth coming flick Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se which is a period film, and he had to look the character he portrays in the film, Surya Sen, due to which, he had to look young and stunning.However, his pairing with Deepika Padukone in the flick is quite something new for the audiences, but as per the first look out in pics, and promos and the recent music launch in Mumbai, both Abhishek and Deepika looked really good together.
As the film has a very old retro look, with very simple wardrobe for the entire cast, the language, the backdrop, the makeup, everything is just rightfully done.
However, coming to the point, Abhishek and Deepika just look cool, what with the subtle romanticism of the pre- independence era, and all that.
The film has Deepika playing the role of Kalpana, who is very much involved in the socio-political issues going on during the period. Her look with

Actor Vivek Oberoi and his new bride Priyanka Alva looked very much the happy couple at their grand wedding reception here that saw more heavyweights from politics than from Bollywood. While the bride glowed in a green-blue lehnga choli, the groom sported a dark velvet sherwani at the reception here Sunday that came two days after their marriage in Bangalore.

Shah Rukh heads for China for a historic occasion
By Subhash K JhaFrom Berlin where he is currently shooting for Farhan Akhtar's Don 2, Shah Rukh Khan will be heading for China for the premiere of My Name Is Khan (MNIK). A historic occasion that fell into the MNIK team's lap. No Indian film has been released in the last 30 years in China.At this very moment intense preparations are on for the grand premiere tentatively on 30 November in Beijing.
Producer Karan Johar who has been traveling to the remotest part of the world for the release of MNIK, can't get over the Chinese windfall.
“It's an honour, I agree, specially since China allows only the release of 20 foreign films a year. I can't remember when was the last time an Indian film was released there. We must have done something right this time, no?” says Karan alluding foxily to the negative comments on MNIK that prevail in a section of the film industry.
Karan is already planning Shah Rukh's clothes for the Beijing premiere.Though he's tightlipped about it, we did get to know that Karan has something in
Will Aamir Have Koffee With Karan?
Aamir 'perfectionist' Khan, who is known to keep a distance from the small screen, despite the fact that all the other top stars are making a beeline for it, is being given a sort of informal invitation or so, from the ace director and producer of B town, Karan Johar!Recently, there have been reports suggesting that Karan Johar would be glad to have Aamir on his chat show, 'Koffee with Karan', season 3, which will start next Sunday.
However, the question is will Mr. Perfectionist have Koffee with Karan? Will he agree to appear on the small screen? Will it be impossible to get the Khan brand for the show?
There are too many questions to be answered, and very few options, as most of these answers would stop at, most probably a "No", with a capital 'N'.
Thus, if at all, Aamir Khan does appear in the show, it should really be a show which will create a lot of buzz in
SRK, Esha to celebrate birthday on Nov 2
It will be a delightful birthday for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as he celebrates his 45th birthday with wife Gauri Khan and children in Europe.Recently, SRK spent a lonely marriage anniversary as his wife could not fly to Berlin where Shah Rukh is busy shooing 'Don 2'.
Hopefully, the star pair of B-town will make up for all the losses as they meet in Berlin to celebrate Shah Rukh's birthday, and with Diwali round the corner, the couple will have more fun this time.
“Already getting so many wishes for my birthday...it's very sweet. Thanks everyone...for making growing up so much fun,” tweeted SRK.
But there is a bad news for SRK, as his good friend, director Karan Johar, who was also supposed to visit him in Berlin to celebrate the occasion and also to attend the screening of 'My Name is Khan' in the Rome Film Festival, will remain absent as he is down with malaria, reports said.

Akki-Katrina are overrated?
It is not often that a lead pair in a Bollywood film is remembered for the wonderful chemistry that the actors share onscreen. While the Shah Rukh Khan – Kajol jodi is the most talked about in B-town, contemporary actors Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif have carved a niche for themselves onscreen. But is the pairing overrated? That is what the film critics would like to think, because every film which features the Akshay Kumar – Katrina Kaif pairing does well at the box office in spite of the fact that it does not have a good storyline to match.
If you don't believe this, take a look at the recently released films with Akshay and Katrina in the lead. Be it Namaste London or Welcome or De Dana Dan, every film has scored well at the Indian box office. So will the magic work this time too?
While the actors embrace themselves for upcoming release Tees Maar Khan, the question is whether a
Abhishek Bachchan Finds Aishwarya Loud
Everybody knows that lovebirds Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai can never keep their eyes away from each other. The couple has always been seen extremely happy together on every occasion. But now, it seems that the long honeymoon of the couple is over and they are ready to enter the real conjugal world where some misunderstandings and sweet-bitter fight is normal. The gorgeous 'Bachchan bahu' always gets excited whenever she is seen surrounded by her family. This has become a regular practice since her marriage to junior Bachchan. However, this over-the-top behavior of Ash has been noticed by her loving hubby too, and he is probably feeling embarrassed for the same. Recently, this became an issue between the couple and it led to a heated argument.
Ash and Abhi was on their way to an award ceremony and actor Kunal Kapoor was also along with them. Abhi asked her to be a bit soft in her expression as the actress was reportedly getting too loud and vocal. A subtle request from her hubby came instantly to keep her voice low. Gauging the sensitivity situation, Kunal preferred to leave the place to allow them to

After landing, the actor didn't have to go through the regular customs route and was instead granted a VIP exit.

Katrina turns Barbie to Radha, who is her Krishna?
After being nominated the face of Barbie from India, actress Katrina Kaif is all set to portray the role of Radha in an upcoming film titled Main Krishna Hoon.In a statement given to the media, Katrina Kaif confirms the fact saying that she has been roped in to play a cameo for the upcoming film based on the life story of mythological character Krishna, from his childhood to his adult days. Therefore it is expected that Katrina will enact the lady Radha onscreen.
Though the actress herself is presently in Patiala shooting for an upcoming Yashraj film, Katrina Kaif is reportedly taking time out to get herself informed on the character of Radha.
The film will be a welcome change to her fans and audiences alike, who have been used to seeing the actress in a glamorous western avatar in almost every film released before this.

No more Salman: Asin
Asin declines Salman's offer to star in the Hindi remake of Tamil film Kavalan since she wants to act with other stars and get serious about her Bollywood careerWhen Salman Khan saw glimpses of Tamil film Kavalan, starring Vijay and Asin in the lead, he was bowled over. In its Hindi remake titled, Bodyguard that is being produced by sister Alvira, he decided to cast Asin as his female lead. Asin, however, declined the offer.
After London Dreams, Khan and Asin found themselves acting opposite each other in Anees Bazmi's Ready. If she had accepted, this would have been her third film with the actor.
Asin is guarded while answering questions about the films she declined. "It isn't right to talk about what I didn't do. I've just wrapped up Kavalan.
In fact, when director Siddique made the same film in Malayalan two years ago, I couldn't be part of it then too. So I promised him I'd do the Tamil version, which
Bhansali removes Aishwarya's moaning and sexual bliss
Director Sanjay Bhansali has removed scenes where lead actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is seen 'moaning' in his upcoming film Guzaarish. We do understand if a director needs to bring some important changes in his film prior to release, but why should a 'moaning' scene be edited out? Sanjay Bhansali explains the term saying that 'moaning' depicts the sexual bliss felt by Aishwarya Rai's character in his forthcoming release.
And going by the controversy that had started after the Aishwarya Rai – Hrithik Roshan liplock in Dhoom 2, Sanjay Bhansali is not prepared to draw any unwarranted attention to his film.
Sources close to the Guzaarish camp are of the opinion that the decision was taken by director Sanjay Bhansali, because he did not want any kind of trouble brewing up in the happily married life of his lead actress.
Besides, now that she is married, Aishwarya Rai too may feel uncomfortable viewing the intimate scenes with
