A Flat is not a copy of any Hollywood or Korean film
Talk about a horror film and one instantly tends to ask the makers whether it has been copied/inspired/lifted from a Western or a Far East film. Since Hollywood as well as Koeran/Japanese market has excelled in making quite a few money spinning horror films in the past, one wonders whether the makers of A Flat too had looked in either directions before putting their Jimmy Shergill and Sanjay Suri starrer on floors.
“On the contrary the very USP of A Flat is that it is not the copy of any film”, Jimmy comes in immediate support of his team here, “In today's times it is impossible to hide a source. There is no point because people anyways get to know that.”
A Flat, which is produced by Anjum Rizvi & Raaj Varma and directed by Hemant Madhukar is about a man who returns from abroad to India, enters a house and gets locked there. When all his attempts turn futile to unlock the doors, it becomes clearer to him that there is a supernatural power at play here.
“That's right”, Jimmy nods in agreement here, “A Flat isn't one of those regular horror flicks out there. It also has a strong element of being a

Bhansali worried over Ash-Hrithik steamy scene
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been worried over a particularly steamy scene in her upcoming film, Guzaarish. She has been trying to influence director Sanjay Leela Bhansali into removing that scene from the movie. The director may just get to oblige her if he feels that the scene in question is not quite relevant to the storyline.Aishwarya has apparently had a debate with Bhansali over retaining the scene and the director does not wish his film to be dragged into unnecessary controversies.
Ash is being extremely cautious this time round. Her earlier film Dhoom 2 with Hrithik had set many a tongue wagging on account of the passionate lip lock featuring the duo. She certainly does not want a repetition of the events and is doing all she can to influence the Guzaarish director.
Bhansali still seems to be in a dilemma though! While the entire unit is all for cutting out the steamy scene thereby, ensuring a smooth and controversy free release for the film, the director is not so sure himself. He is banking on his instincts to guide him this time and
Is Akshay Kumar Superstitious?
 Akshay Kumar, whose real name is Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia, is an all out believer in the factor called luck! This star is one of the biggest action hero of B-town these days, yet, the lack factor theory just doesn't seem to be going out of his dictionary! Recently, the star had appeared in a popular show on TV, where he was grilled about his life, past and present, by the actor, who is a well-known personality on television. Yet coming to the point, it was on this show that Akki or Akshay Kumar confirmed the rumor that it was only after he changed his name from Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia to Akshay Kumar, that his luck seemed to have changed for the better. According to his own admission, he got his first break in movies immediately after changing his name. However, this is not the only luck factor that the star believes in. The buzz amongst film folks is that Akshay also possesses a Thai Baht, the currency note from Bangkok, where he was employed as a cook and he had received this note as a tip from one of the customers in the restaurant he was working in. According to Akshay's belief, this note was responsible for changing his luck completely, thus, he | |

How Band Baaja Baaraat saved Ranveer Singh
Ranveer Singh plays the role of Delhi boy Bittoo Sharma in his debut outing Band Baaja Baaraat. However, in real life he is from Mumbai and not many are aware that when he was signed by Yash Raj Films for this light hearted entertainer, he wasn't going through the best of the times in his personal life.”My parents were actually going through a financial crunch at that time”, remembers Ranveer who could well be looking at a turnaround for his family post the release of Band Baaja Baaraat, “I am sure that ideally they would have wanted me to work in a far more stable job. There was this sense of uncertainty around my career but still they remained supportive.”
Ranveer was further hit by the fact that due to global recession, there were not many films which were being made during his last 2-3 years of struggle.
“There were no auditions coming up and I was pretty much staring at the bottom of the barrel. I gave myself a time frame and said to myself that if things didn't quite work out in

Karan Johar's illness dampens SRK's Birthday spirit
By Subhash K Jha Karan Johar's illness has put a cloud over Shah Rukh's birthday celebrations. The star who turns a year older today (November 2) has never celebrated a single birthday in the last 15 years without his friend.
On hearing of Karan's sudden illness SRK was overheard telling a friend, “Kuch mazaa bahin aayega Karan ke bina.”
Says a very close friend of both SRK and Karan, “No matter which part of the world Shah Rukh is in, Karan makes sure he joins his friend for his birthday. Shah Rukh just doesn't feel this birthday should be celebrated without Karan.”
Shah Rukh Khan flew to Rome from Berlin with his son and nephew (wife Gauri's brother's son) only to find out that his buddy and producer-director Karan Johar were missing from the event at the Rome International Film Festival.

Vivek Oberoi's marriage shoes worth Rs 25 Lakhs!
The Vivek Oberoi – Priyanka Alva wedding was a grand affair following every detail that a Hindu wedding is supposed to abide by. And while the Oberois had come fully prepared, hardly did the groom expect that he would land in such deep waters. Yes, Vivek Oberoi had to shell out lakhs moments before entering the ‘mandap’. And before you start speculating, the groom’s shoes, as is a custom in traditional Hindu weddings, were snatched away by his sisters-in-law, who demanded a sum of 25 lakhs from the groom before handing over his shoe!
However, all of this was just in pure jest. Following the customs in a Hindu marriage, the sisters-in-law usually play strange and playful tricks with the groom with the intention of taking him unawares.
But little did Vivek Oberoi expect that his saalis would also play the same trick on him. Reports claim that the groom was not even armed with so much money and so the bride’s sister had to

Akshaye Khanna is an exception to that rule. Even though he has an important role in Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan, he has asked her to leave him out of the film's promotion.
No fights here
Farah admits, "We wanted Akshaye to be a part of the publicity posters but he told us that the film's title is about Tees Maar Khan (Akshay Kumar) and it didn't make sense to have anyone besides him in the poster.
He categorically refused and didn't even come on the day we shot the publicity photos. This was a first for me as I am usually used to stars fighting over space in the
