Keeps aside a chunk of dates for the much-awaited sequel to the Abhishek- John starrer Dostana Buzz was that Dostana2 has traded its desi girl Priyanka Chopra for Katrina Kaif. Now there are the telltale signs of rumours turning into reality. Katrina, who is shooting for Siddharth Anand’s Bang Bang with Hrithik Roshan, has not signed any other film yet.

It is assumed that she is keeping her dates open for Tarun Mansukhani’s sequel to the 2008 hit. The film is likely to go on floors in late October. The preproduction of the film has already started. A source told us, “Katrina wants to be a part of this heroine-centric film. It will give her a lot of scope to perform. The actress is waiting for the final nod from the producers. She has not allotted any dates between October and January to any other filmmaker.” The much-awaited sequel to Dostana has been in the making for a long time.

Initially there were reports that the script had not shaped up to Karan Johar’s liking. Then there was also the long-drawn casting process, and other than Abhishek and John, no one else had been finalised. Katrina according to reports has been showing her eagerness to take up the project. Other than Bang Bang and Dhoom 3, she has not signed up any new film yet. In the off chance that Kat does not do the film, at least it would not be for the lack of dates or initiative on her part.

Actress Amanda Bynes says she will sue the New York Police Department (NYPD) after she was arrested last week and charged with many unfair things. The 26-year-old was last week charged in court with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession, after being arrested at her New York City apartment. However, Bynes insists she did nothing wrong and was unfairly targeted by police, reports contactmusic.com.

In a lengthy rant on Twitter, she wrote: “For once and for all, this is the last thing I’ll say about the mistaken arrest. I’m suing NYPD for illegally entering my apartment, lying about drugs on me and lying about me tampering with non existent drug paraphernalia, then I’m suing for being put into a mental hospital against my will, then locked up overnight for coming home after a facial and working out with my trainer like the good girl that I am. I’m allergic to alcohol and drugs and don’t partake in any of the above.”

“I’m so offended by all of this but so proud to not be a drug or alcohol user. I don’t need to talk about this anymore.” “My lawyer and I are taking this offense so seriously! Everything they did was against the law and the judge saw that there was no drugs on me or proof of any type of bong or mental illness (I was so offended to even be taken to a mental hospital and they would not let me call my lawyer until the next day after being in jail all night, then I went to court and was immediately released because the judge saw that I was wrongly arrested,” Bynes said.

Cast: Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Walker, Michelle

Direction: Justin Lin
Genre: Action
Duration: 2 hours 11 minutes
STORY: Dom (Diesel) and Brian (Walker) are in Rio, living it up after bringing down a drug kingpin in the franchise’s previous instalment. They’ve left crime behind, only to be drawn back by the promise of finding alive a loved one (Rodriguez as Letti) they’d thought was dead. But to get to her, they have to hit the streets again. This time, in London. MOVIE REVIEW: We catch up with Dom and his crew as they cool their heels after pulling off their ‘Rio Heist’ and bringing down Braga. Dom has moved on but still pines for Letti.

Brian’s become a family man and father to a baby boy. Agent Hobbs (Johnson) offers a deal: find and bring Owen Shaw, a mercenary trained in vehicular warfare, to justice in return for information on Dom’s thought-dead love and grudgingly, full pardons for his crew, so they can return home to the US. As they embark on a mission for their own purposes, the “family” of speed demons soon finds themselves up against Shaw, an enemy that’s “in the game” and relies solely on “precision and planning” to carry out their assignments.

Letti has lost her memory and we see her become a pawn in Shaw’s game for most of the film. Is the family reunited again? Clocking in at over two hours, the film is filled with all the high-octane speed chases and close combat scenes we’ve come to expect from the franchise. And while it doesn’t disappoint in the outrageously and shamelessly fun bang-em-cars, road rage and the cheesy humour departments, it does drag by taking “detours” and selfdiscovery trip subplots that could easily have been done without.

Lin’s at the helm for the fourth time and the confidence (and over-indulgence, thereof) shows. The girl-on-girl fight scenes are actually more kick-ass than the ones with the guys. Of the supporting cast, Ludacris has the best lines. The new characters impress. That being said, this one’s purely for fans of the franchise and action junkies alike.

Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette’s divorce was finalized on Tuesday in a Los Angeles Superior Court, according to reports. The couple announced their split in 2010, but it took them almost 2 years to actually file divorce papers – filing it on the same day in June 2012, the New York Daily News reported.

They pair wanted joint custody of their only child, 8-year-old daughter Coco. The divorce proceedings were cordial and the couple are still on friendly terms. The former ‘Friends’ star said on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ in January that Arquette is her best friend in the world and she loves him. Arquette told People magazine that Cox is incredible and he loves her, too, adding that she is an amazing and a beautiful person.

Actress Tisca Chopra, who played the role of a mother in ‘Taare Zameen Par’, says she wants to essay a negative character. Her stunning performance as mother of a dyslexic child in Aamir Khan-directed Taare Zameen Par (2007) won her all-round praise and numerous honours, including a National Award.

“Now I want to do something different. I want to play a baddie,” Tisca said. She will be yet again playing the role of mother in ‘Ankur Arora Murder Case’, an upcoming Bollywood thriller directed by Suhail Tatari and written by Vikram Bhatt.”I was frightened to do this film. Initially, I was little skeptical. I couldn’t forget that the child has died in this film…I used to get scared at this thought and would wake up at 2 AM,” Tisca said.

After her debut film as a producer, Preity Zinta is now just looking forward to donning the actor’s hat. Preity, who has been traveling and working non-stop for the past two years, wants to take it slow for a while.

“After producing a film, now I want to just chill. I want to go on the set, put on make up and go give my shot. After being involved with everything right from postproduction to editing, now I am looking forward to just acting,” she says.

Story: Jay Gatsby conquers poverty and becomes ‘great’ – but is he good enough for elegant Daisy, married to aristocratic Tom?

Movie Review: Right up, Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby (TGG) is Hollywood’s Devdas. Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) and Daisy (Mulligan) fall in star-crossed love. Poor and ambitious, Gatsby reinvents himself, but Daisy’s won by aristocratic, womanizing Tom (Edgerton). Jay arrives in 1920s New York, abuzz, as Daisy’s cousin Nick Carraway (Maguire) notes, with a ‘golden roar’. Stocks and skyscrapers are shooting up, prohibitions and morals crashing down. Suddenly-rich Gatsby becomes NY’s newest celeb, throwing his fantastic (Disney-inspired?) mansion open for amazing parties, befriending Nick hoping he’ll bring Daisy back to Gatsby’s life. Which Nick does – but does the party end in whimpers or bangs? Luhrmann’s take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel is a beautiful bash – that lasts too long. On the upside, the music’s super and the 3D – decorating dinners to orgies, advertisements gliding silkily along a taxi – stunning. Add DiCaprio, perfect as the golden, mysterious, toffee-hearted Gatsby, to Maguire – that most wry of observers, the loner at the party – and you’re swept away by the mood. Other performances fit like icecubes – Mulligan conveying Daisy’s soft, deadly uncertainties, Debicki dashing as ironic golf-star Jordan, Amitabh Bachchan shining as gangster Meyer Wolfsheim in a sharp little role, witty as he echoes Gatsby’s deceptions about his folks – “all sadly dead now” – frightening when he shows off the tooth hanging around his neck.

Edgerton begins with OTT-bluster but ends puncturing Gatsby with wounding bluntness. DiCaprio and Edgerton’s duel unpeels the glitter’s ugly core – pre- Depression America was brutally snobbish, ‘old money’ trumping ambitions, everyone romping with corruption, yet few paying.

Luhrmann captures all this from inside a shimmering cocktail glass. His Gatsby is greedily gorgeous and occasionally sags, luxuriating in a 3Dtheatric too many. Still, it showcases Fitzgerald’s drama with flair – a society dancing on a knife’s edge, where everyone drank and romanced too much, but you also heard an odd, wistful sigh – maar daala.

She is well over 30, but Gul Panag is glad that she can still comfortably slip into a pair of shorts which she used to wear when she was sweet 16. “Found a pair of shorts at parents’ home from when I was 16 (highwaisted and all).

Still fit in them comfortably,” posted the “Dor” actress on microblogging site Twitter. The former beauty queenturned- actress and adventure enthusiast is fit, and has maintained herself well over the years.

The famous German beauty is visiting home sweet home. Claudia Ciesla is travelling to Germany to spend some time with family. Away from the Mumbai heat, she will be enjoying the breezy climate of Germany and having great time with her family. “Due to the packed schedules I don’t get much time to be with my family.

So as and when I get time to squeeze out from my schedule and meet my family, I just snatch the chance and travel home. It’s always fun to meet family and to go around with my sisters. This time I am here for 2 weeks and will continue to have a blast here.” says Claudia.

Eva Longoria, who had a major wardrobe malfunction at the Cannes red carpet on Saturday, poked fun at her own embarrassment by flaunting her knickers in a sheer laced see-through dress on Sunday. “Here’s my dress for tonight! No wardrobe malfunctions tonight!!!” the Mirror quoted her as tweeting.

The 38-year-old actress was left exposed at Cannes, when she lifted her dress off the wet ground to reveal that she wasn’t wearing any underwear.

Lindsay Lohan has been sued for 5 million dollars by a clothing company, DNAM The erratic behavior of the actress made it difficult to promote and sell her 6126 leggings line for which the company is demanding 5 million dollars, Radar Online reported. The company’s lawsuit states that Lohan’s leggings suffered in sales because the buyers were reluctant to associate themselves with her drugaddled image.

However Lohan’s business partner, Kristi Kaylor, has denied any such allegations and said that The DNAM countersuit against 6126 misrepresents the facts. She further said that the company is aware of the fact that it is in breach of the 6126 licensee agreement, and this suit is clearly nothing more than a transparent defense maneuver. She added that DNAM is trying to get out of honoring its financial obligations.

Actress Jennifer Aniston is using yoga to destress ahead of her wedding day. The 44-year-old is reportedly getting married to actor Justin Theroux in August. “Yoga kind of helps you prepare for everything, honestly,” eonline.com quoted her as saying. “It’s like meditation. It sort of just allows anything that’s coming at you at the end of the day to be kind of doable,” she added.

Cast: Riz Ahmed, Kate Hudson, Liev Schreiber, Kiefer
Sutherland, Om Puri, Shabana Azmi
Direction: Mira Nair
Genre: Thriller
Duration: 2 hours 12 minutes

STORY: The film is a gripping adaptation of Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid’s acclaimed novel on conflicting ideologies and a search for identity, beyond religion.

REVIEW: Can you be who you really are when the world around you forces you to believe otherwise? 9/11 changed the West’s perception of Islam forever. While various films have had the unsettling issue as a backdrop, Mira Nair’s riveting adaptation goes way deeper. Its sensitive yet unsubtle narrative succeeds at retaining the book’s ambiguity, as well as raising pertinent questions on Islamic fundamentalism, emigration and USA’s interference in Pakistan. Nair captures the finer nuances of the thought-provoking tale with great conviction. Hard-working immigrant Changez Khan (Riz Ahmed) is happy living his American dream. Confident and talented, he’s considered as a promising financial analyst at the renowned Wall Street business valuation firm, Underwood Samson. While he’s busy climbing the corporate ladder and finding love in Erica (Hudson), an artist, the twin towers are attacked. As a Muslim in the US, the act of extreme violence not only shatters hopes of Changez’s bright future, but also makes him question his ideologies, objectivity and identity. The beauty of the film lies in the depiction of its protagonist’s unspoken words, suppressed emotions and unwavering beliefs. The incredibly talented Riz Ahmed enables the film to deconstruct the meaning of ‘fundamentalism’, which forms the core of the story. What leaves you in awe of the adapted screenplay is its brilliantly drawn parallels between Changez’s personal, political and social situation. You feel his pain, vulnerability, denial, inner turmoil and psychological conflict. The film keeps you thoroughly engaged, even in parts where the pace drops a bit. While the film is more of a thriller, it doesn’t cease to be a human drama, thanks to sublime supporting performances from Kate Hudson, Liev Schreiber, Kiefer Sutherland, Om Puri, Shabana Azmi and Meesha Shafi. The music is soulful. Songs like Kangna, Bijli Aaye ya na aaye help build the mood. Cinematography is impressive and in sync with Nair’s trademark style of storytelling. Poignant and relevant, the film will Pakistan differently.

Angelina Jolie’s doctor has written the details of the actress’ double mastectomy with the aim of helping women understand the preventive treatment. Dr Kristi Funk wrote that just four days after the 37-year-old star underwent her mastectomies, she was pleased to find Jolie in good spirits with bountiful energy, and saw her working with freshly assembled storyboards on her walls for the next movie that she is about to direct, the Guardian reported. Funk asserted in her blog that all the while that Jolie spoke, six drains were dangling from her chest, three on either side, fastened to an elastic belt around her waist.

The Oscar-winner got both her breasts removed on February 16 at the Pink Lotus Breast Centre in Beverly Hills, California, to reduce her breast cancer risk from 87 percent to 5 percent. Despite her fame and constant hounding by media, her treatment remained a secret until Tuesday, when she herself chose to reveal about it in a New York Times article. She approved Funk’s account of her treatment to help women at high cancer risk and to help them understand what is involved if they choose to undergo surgery rather than regular scans and preventive drugs as a way of managing their risk.

Actress Parineeti Chopra says if she has an option to flirt with someone in Bollywood, it would be the current heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor. Mesmerised by the young Kapoor scion, the actress calls him “one of her favourite actors of the current generation”. “If I had to choose (whom to flirt with in Bollywood) then it would be Ranbir Kapoor,” said Parineeti, who made her debut with 2011 film “Ladies vs Ricky Bahl” and later featured in political thriller “Ishaqzaade”. The 24- year-old was talking at a launch. As far as films are concerned, she is busy shooting for “Hasee Toh Phasee” with Sidharth

Bollywood diva, Katrina Kaif will pour in her inputs and ideas for the looks that her character will be sporting in her upcoming projects ‘Dhoom 3’ and ‘Bang Bang’ respectively. It’s believed that Kat will be trying to get on a whole new level of fashion and will be making sure that she looks extra perfect in everything. “Katrina will try to achieve new and gorgeous looks for her upcoming releases. Though she has always looked pretty onscreen, she did not bother much about her looks. Now, she will be making an extra effort to look at her best. She will style herself not only for films, but also for brand endorsements and public appearances.” a source close to Katrina said. Well, you look best ineverything Katrina.

Actress Bipasha Basu, who will next feature in an athletic avatar in Vikram Bhatt’s “Creature”, has taken to the TRX Rip trainer, a portable training tool, to develop a toned physique for the film. TRX Rip trainer is a huge fad in Singapore and the 34-year-old feels that the tool will help her in attaining a “leaner and toned” body.

“I saw TRX Rip training in Singapore and I bought it. I will start shooting for my thriller ‘Creature’ from June and I need a particular kind of body for the film. I have to be much leaner and toned. I had put on a little weight for my last film ‘Aatma’ and need to lose that,” Bipasha said in a statement. “Rip Training utilizes a lever bar and resistance cord that challenges the body in all three planes of motion – reps, sets and workout.

It utilizes the same asymmetrical loading we encounter every day, like carrying groceries, picking up your child, throwing a ball, or performing athletic movements such as swimming, running, and biking,” she added. The actress also feels that “‘Creature’ requires a lot of physical work hence she needs to be fit”. “I need another couple of weeks to get to the shape I want to achieve,”

Mumbai German modelactress Claudia Ciesla, who featured in hit item number “Balma” in Akshay Kumarstarrer “Khiladi 786”, is open to do more such songs, but on a condition. Released in December last year, action-comedy “Khiladi 786” was directed by Ashish R. Mohan and Asin Thottumkal played the female lead in it.

“I don’t mind doing item songs. After ‘Balma’, which got really popular and became a super hit, I got a lot of offers for item songs and Bollywood roles. But I will do item songs once I am really convinced. It should not be less than ‘Balma’, in which I danced with Akshay,” she said here during a photo shoot. “If I will get excited about a project…then I really won’t mind doing an item song,” she added.

Making her entry into Indian showbiz with third season of reality show “Bigg Boss”, Claudia was recently seen doing stand-up comedy in Sony TV’s show “Comedy Circus”.

Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor
Direction: Mohit Suri
Genre: Romance
Duration: 2 hours 13 minutes
STORY: A fading singing sensation finds new purpose in life when he falls in love with a talented singing aspirant. But the blitzkrieg of stardom makes, breaks and shakes their love story.

MOVIE REVIEW: He sings. She sings. He, for his stardom. She, for her supper. And the twain meet. In a restrobar, where she croons and he swoons. And Aashiqui is born. Again! Retelling the celebrity story that stardom ain’t an easy ride. It sometimes vrooms and then goes sputter, the fuel of celebdom often running out. Like Rahul Jaykar (Aditya) discovers; once basking in a ‘rockstar’ like status, but soon losing it to alcohol, addiction and self-deprecation.

But when he meets budding singer Aarohi (Shraddha), his heart finds a new beat and his crumbling life finds a cause. He trains her to become the Nightingale of India; she shines while he stays her shadow; sometimes sober, mostly stoned. The real lyric of this story is their romance, pulsating with passion and intensity – on high notes and ‘higher spirits’.

Suri’s musical love story doesn’t bear much semblance to the original ‘Aashiqui’; instead it finds its own rhythm. He pitches the story with old-world romance, high-drama and well-crafted heart-breaking moments. Aarohi’s character is endearing and Rahul stays ‘bottled’ (like ‘Devdas’ with a cause), with sudden outbursts.

The story slows down in parts and the climax might seem unreal to many, but maybe a ‘fix’ for die-hard aashiqs. Aditya is likeable in mushy moments, he shows intensity in flashes but sometimes loses grip. A mature role like this demands a lot, nonetheless, it’s a good effort. Shraddha looks innocently beautiful. Letting her emotions play out brilliantly in high-strung scenes with supreme confidence.

This is a talent to look out for. The jodi’s palpable chemistry heightens the drama. The music is the strongest supporting cast, with captivating tunes like Tum Hi Ho (Arijit Singh), Sunn Raha Hai (Ankit Tiwari) and Bhula Dena (Mustafa Zahid) pouring more passion in to the story. This could be good soup for the lovers’ soul – with a dash of old-world flavour.

Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Tye
Sheridan, Jacob Lofland
Direction: Jeff Nichols
Genre: Drama
Duration: 2 hours 10 minutes
STORY: Two friends meet a man hiding out in the woods who’s on the run. They help him try and escape to freedom and to reunite with his lady love.

MOVIE REVIEW: Ellis ( Tye Sheridan) and his best friend Neckbone ( Jacob Lofland) are a 21st century Huckleberry Finn-style duo. They ride scooters, fish, sail, know every inch of their Arkansas hometown and even find a secret hideaway on an island – a boat stuck atop a tree! But their island idyll and the boat have an inhabitant. His name is Mud. Tattooed, superstitious, dishevelled and packing a .45 calibre, Mud (McConaughey) tells the boys that he’s a fugitive, dodging bounty-hunting assassins. He’s also trying to trace his girl Juniper (Witherspoon, oozing sex appeal) who’s a hoochie gal with a soft heart for bad boys.

Mud makes a deal with the two – he offers Neck his .45 in return for food. Intrigued and charmed in equal measure, the boys agree. But is Mud a man worth helping? Is he a good guy caught between a rock and a hard place or a scoundrel with no scruples, who plays the sympathy card well? A grizzled Sam Shephard – a deadshot with a sniper rifle – knows Mud since childhood and warns the kids about him. But Ellis, who’d like to see Mud and Juniper reunite, and Neck, the deadpan-delivery voice of reason, pay no heed.

A coming-of-age story with more than a few moments of menace, the film’s languid pace matches the humid atmosphere of the Mississippi delta setting. The visuals are amazing, with a tinge of surrealism. The cinematography is lush and the dialogues deftly delivered. The Southern folks embody values like trust, a good work ethic, honesty and loyalty. Ellis is, however, the true hero of this film.

Megan Fox, if things go well, will act in a B-wood film. She’s been approached by director Rajeev Jhaveri for Fever, a suspense thriller. Apparently, Jhaveri contacted Fox’s agents, and shared the script with them. “It’s been received well by Fox and her team.

Nothing is confirmed yet, but she has expressed her eagerness to associate herself with this project, and her agent has asked the director for an official letter for proceeding further,” says a source close to the project.

Actress Keira Knightley is in talks to star in “Laggies”, for which Anne Hathaway had been in negotiations. Knightley, 28, is reportedly set to take on the lead role alongside Sam Rockwell and Chloe Moretz in the film, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Laggies” follows a young woman, who is stuck in permanent adolescence. She reacts badly to her boyfriend’s marriage proposal and tells him she is off on a business retreat, but instead hides out with her new friend, 16-yearold Annika. “Laggies” has been written by Andrea Seigel and will be directed by “Your Sister’s Sister” fame Lynn Shelton.

Anxious Vidya calls up Sabya to work out a slam-proof look for her Red Carpet stint. On April 24 morning, Vidya Balan was chosen to be a part of the nine-member jury, headed by Steven Spielberg, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The actress, who was busy shooting for a special song at Filmalaya studio for Ghanchakkar, did not have enough time to field media queries about the honour. But she did have time to make that one very critical call: to the man who has turned her into the biggest brand ambassador of the saree, Sabyasachi.

Given that Vidya has never had an easy relationship with the fashion police, and how the Cannes red carpet comes under the severest scrutiny, sources close to the actress say she has been quite anxious about her high-profile appearance. When she called Sabya with a mix of excitement and apprehension, the feeling was mutual. A friend of the actress said: “Sabyasachi is very excited to be a part of Vidya’s big moment.

They have become thick friends over the years and Vidya trusts the designer blindly when it comes to designing her sarees. However, Sabya is a bit nervous this time, as he doesn’t want anything to go wrong on the red carpet.” The designer called up Nisha Kundnani, an independent stylist who has worked with Aamir and Kiran Rao in the past. A source added: “Sabya requested Nisha to carry alternative options for Vidya, in case there were last-minute changes.”

Mallika Sherawat may be known for her bold roles and glamorous item numbers but the actress now wants to do performance-oriented films. “Now I want to do performanceoriented roles. I don’t want to do glamorous roles and item songs. It is a conscious decision that I have taken. I do get lots of offers for item songs and glam roles but it is a deliberate choice not to do it,” she said.

In an image overhaul, Mallika will be seen in a complete desi avatar in her upcoming film ‘Dirty Politics’, where she essays the role of Anokhi Devi, based on Jodhpur’s Bhanwari Devi, who was killed under mysterious circumstances after her alleged relationship with politicians. The film directed by KC Bokadia, stars Om Puri, Jackie Shroff, Anupam Kher, Ashutosh Rana in key roles. In her last release ‘Kismat Love Paisa Dilli’, she played the role of a girl-next-door. The film bombed at the box office.

Despite having starred in Bollywood films like ‘Murder’, ‘Bachke Rehna Re Baba’, ‘Pyar Ke Side Effects’, ‘Welcome’, ‘Ugly Aur Pagli’ among others, it’s Mallika’s item numbers that have kept her on the film map. Also, there were reports that Mallika had moved to Los Angeles to focus on a Hollywood career but she denies it. “I have not moved to LA. It is not true that I have shifted my base there. I was doing a movie ‘Politics of Love’ hence I went there but that was only for shooting. Apart from that I do go for parties and socialdos,” she said.

Ileana D’Cruz, who shot to fame with Barfi! has been roped in by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his next film, Gabbar. The project is a remake of 2002 Tamil film Ramana and marks the Bollywood debut of south director Krish.

Ileana will star opposite Akshay Kumar, who after the success of Rowdy Rathore, is working with Bhansali again. A source told TOI, “Ileana started getting numerous film offers after being noticed for her role in Barfi!. Ramesh Taurani signed her for Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Phata Poster… and now she has bagged Gabbar.” The film will go on floors by the end of the year after Akshay finishes filming Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai…Again and Ashwin Varde’s Boss.

Talking about the film, the source added, “Akshay and Ileana’s chemistry will be interesting to watch. It is quite an unlikely pairing, which Bhansali is trying to explore. Akshay plays the lead role in the film where he fights against corruption.”
