Aamir Khan to shoot in the brothels of Kamathipura
By Subhash K Jha
The rather unnecessary curiosity over Reema Kagti's new project comes entirely from Aamir Khan's presence in the film.And the latest dope on this curiosity-arousing project is that a prominent part of the plot is located in a red-light area.
Says a source, “It is a thriller about a cop played by Aamir Khan in search of the truth in the red-light area. Reema Kagti's film goes into the seedy world of sex workers, pimps, middlemen and madams.”
From the two leading ladies Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor, one has apprently been cast as a sex worker. Both Kareena and Rani have played sex workers in the past Kareena in Sudhir Mishra's Chameli and Rani in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya.
Apparently the perfectionist that he is, Aamir wants to shoot at an actual red-light area.However the director Reema Kagti and co-producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani are in the process of convincing Aamir that shooting on

Salman and Aamir next on Karan Johar's couch
The saying in Bollywood which goes like nobody can say a no to Karan Johar is probably true. Else how would you explain the fact that Salman Khan has given his nod to be part of the chat show 'Koffee With Karan'.
According to reports in the media, Salman Khan will appear in a forthcoming episode of director Karan Johar's television chat show. A source close to the director has said in a statement to the media that the earlier animosity between Salman Khan and Karan Johar is non-existent now. The duo often hang out together and may also be referred to as friends!
This will be the first time that Salman Khan will make an appearance in 'Koffee With Karan'. And friendship seems to be in the Bollywood air this New Year because if reports are to be believed Aamir Khan, whom Karan Johar has befriended in the recent past will also be part of an episode in Karan Johar's chat show along with his director wife Kiran Rao.
Aamir Khan was once regarded as a staunch rival of Shah Rukh Khan, this factor also deciding his

Hrithik Roshan
This is how we like to see Hrithik all pumped up.
He is extremely focused and dedicated even during the shoot he kept on pumping himself up! It's his body art.

Saif Ali Khan's demands take toll on Ekta Kapoor-Vishal Bhardwaj film
After much speculation, debate and controversy, the film Dream Sequence, to be produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, has been put on hold.
Says a source, "Right from day one, Dream Sequence (Jaagte Raho) was ridden with problems.
Initially, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone were to play the lead but first Saif and later Deepika distanced themselves from the project.
At one point, Abhay Deol was to fill in for SAK, who then showed a renewed interest in doing the part, and then had second thoughts for the second time."

Hit Anushka gets her place in Patiala House with Akki
Anushka Sharma has taken precedence in new posters in stead of Rishi Kapoor
The first look poster of Nikhil Advani's Patiala House was to initially feature only Akshay Kumar and Rishi Kapoor as the film focuses on the emotional father-son relationship that their characters share.
However, after the recent success of Band Baaja Baaraat, the makers have decided to chuck it and use the Anushka-Akshay jodi to promote the film.
A source reveals, "Though there's a parallel track of cricket and supporting characters, the central theme is the father-son (Akki plays Gattu while Rishi plays his Bauji) relationship.
The initial poster was made keeping this sentiment in mind. Their strategy was to promote the film as a father-son story with lot of emotional drama."
The marketing team of the film will now be using the poster with Akki and Anushka to promote it. It is
