The first teaser of Abhishek Bachchan starrer ‘Drona’ has already created a lot of stirs. Now, Eros International is all set to unveil yet another magnificent promo of the film this Independence Day which will be shown across theatres along with ‘God Tussi Great Ho’. This teaser will unveil the look of Kay Kay Menon who plays the antagonist Riz Raizada and Priyanka Chopra who plays Sonia.

Drona, produced by Shrishti Arya (Rose Films) and Sunil Lulla (Eros International) is a fantasy adventure with loads of special effects. Directed by Goldie Behl, the film is set to release on Oct 2.

Salman and Katrina finally seem to be coming out in the open with their relationship which was evident when Sallu warmly hugged Katz on Dus Ka Dum. Salman and Katz have always maintained a silence about their relationship, but Katz has stood by her man during tough times proving her undying love for him. As for Sallu he has asserted himself quite publicly, at cafes, parties etc.

Katz who was miffed with her beau for recently getting into a spat with SRK at her birthday has obviously forgiven Sallu, once again. Katz seems to be extremely forgiving when it comes to Sallu, but no doubt she’ll also need a lot of patience, understanding and maturity to deal with Sallu in the future.

Salman was testing Katz, no dears not her love for him, but her knowledge on the show. While Salman played the perfect professor quite nautrally, Katz played the perfectly obedient student, on the show of course. Katz had an extremely demure look on the show; she donned a homely, simple salwar as she obviously didn’t want to bring out the other side of Salman.

Salman seems to be extremely happy with Kat’s success, on the show of course. But is he really happy with the success of Katz’s career? Katz has had several hits and all of them thanks to Akshay Kumar. So what does Salman think of that? Would he like to have a hit too, at Akshay? Or is he saying “I am the real King”, not Akki or SRK?

Tune in to any TV channel, and you will surely have some reality show on with Ranbir and Deepika as the celebrity guest, given that their film ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ is set for release tomorrow.

Sure enough Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba shot for a special episode of Salman Khan’s game show ‘10 Ka Dum’ which will be aired tomorrow at 9 pm. The episode was a complete fun and Ranbir showered equal attention on both his leading ladies making both of them comfortable and at their vibrant best. With Bipasha Basu missing from the scene, Deepika had nothing to sulk and complain about and she made sure that Minissha did not feel left out as she and Ranbir made a star couple on the show.

For the film “Sathyam” with Vishal seems Nayanthara had leaned too much. For this she followed strict diet and food and finally she shapes well. In Sathyam film she looks more glam, his structure and curve were totally changed. She looks sexier in Sathyam but some of her fans after seeing her at a public place suggest her to increase her weight which most of Nayan fans want to look her.

Bollywood’s new bombshell, Deepika Paudokone who is awaiting the release of her second flick Bachna Ae Haseeno, is the best amongst the list of Maxim Hot 100 girls.

The Maxim Hot list ventures into India for the first time, and Deepika Padukone is the first winner of the Indian first edition.

Deepika said at a press conference, “To be honest, personally I never thought of myself as ’sexy’ or ‘hot’ but if that’s the call that people have taken, then I hope I live up to it. I am so excited about this.”

Anup Kutty, editor of Maxim-India said, “Deepika was our choice as the winner because apart from her huge fan following with the new generation of Indians, she also has the potential to be an international face. This calls for a huge party.”

Deepika Padukone joins the string of Bollywood beauties like Bipasha Basu, Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif who have made their way into the list.

Kareena Kapoor may be in demand internationally but thankfully, the lady is not going anywhere. The buzz had it that the lady is heading for Hollywood, but Kareena’s spokesperson cleared the air confirming that Bebo’s stint with Bollywood is on the go, and Hollywood for the time being is a strict no-no!

Kareena Kapoor’s sensational new international look has many takers and she has been approached by many Hollywood filmmakers but she refused them owing to her commitment to several Bollywood projects.

Bebo’s official spokesperson said, “It is true that Kareena was offered a role in ‘Chamera’ which is to be directed by Daniel Silverman but she has not signed on the dotted lines.”

On being asked whether the lady is doing any Hollywood film at all, the spokesperson said, “Kareena is busy for the next one and a half year with her commitments in Bollywood. Until then she isn’t doing any international film. Besides ‘Chamera’, Kareena was also offered two other Hollywood films which I cannot divulge much into.” So, thankfully, Bebo is here to stay with Bollywood!

It would be the first reality show to be telecast on all seven days of the week, Rajesh Kamat, CEO of Colors, said a press conference here announcing the programme’s launch date.

The Indian version of the popular British reality show “Big Brother”, “Big Boss” will see 14 people, including celebrities, locked into a house under the surveillance of over 30 cameras for a period of three months. These housemates will have no contact with the outside world.

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty, who won “Big Brother” last year, was almost a natural choice to host the second season of the Indian version. And she had a word of advise to those participating in the show.

“The winner needs to just be oneself … that’s the main mantra,” Shilpa said.

The actress also emphathised with the participants as she had been through the situation herself.

“I’ll try to give them a little respite as I know that they will be going through a tough time. I remember what it was to live with strangers in a house cut off from the outside world with nobody to trust and vouch for,” she said.

Asvini Yardi, programming head of Colors, said Shilpa would be more like a mentor for the participants as she has gone through a similar experience.

CEO Kamat refused to divulge the names of the participants and said they would be revealed only on Aug 17 - the first episode.

He said that the second season would see many additions to the first one.

“For the fist time we have included newsmakers as well as common people on the show. Besides, we are also introducing a half-an-hour live and unedited slot everyday starting second week that will be aired at 12.30 a.m.”

While there won’t be any privacy, the house located on the outskirts of Mumbai would have no phones, television, internet, books or even a clock.

The 14 participants competing for a prize money of Rs.7.5 million will be allowed to bring only essential items to the house and they would have to cook and clean the place themselves.

Participants are voted out by housemates and the audiences periodically. The first season of “Bigg Boss” was aired in 2006 on Sony Television.

King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan has hit out at a Malayalam daily for publishing fake news that he is going to quit smoking in the next two months.

But when the superstar was quizzed about the same, SRK said a firm “No”.

The ‘Om Shanti Om’ star also kept mum on queries about kicking the butt forever as said in the interview.

SRK reportedly said to the Malayalam daily that he thought of quitting smoking when he survived without it on a 17-hours-long flight.

He said, “The idea of quitting cropped up during a 17-hour flight. So if I can do without smoking in flight, I am sure I can do without it on land too.”

The ultimate king of Bollywood plans to give up smoking just for the sake of his kids.
