Hrithik & Priyanka Escape Accidents While Shooting For Agneepath Remake

An aarti scene found Agneepath stars Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra playing with fire quite literally. While Duggu suffered minor burns shooting the scene, PC escaped unscathed but her lehenga caught fire and had to be change.
This is HR’s second accident on the sets of the Karan Johar production. He hurt his hand while breaking a coconut in an earlier scene. His accidents have proved lucky for his films in the past. We wonder if it will bring luck to this one too.
A source recounts what happened: “Hrithik was shooting the Ganapati puja scene. He was holding a big thali with several lit diyas (lamps) and doing the aarti. During one rotation, one diya toppled over, spilling hot oil on his hand, scalding it.
No one was any wiser for it until Duggu rushed to apply ice on the affected area. When the crew understood, the shoot was immediately stopped. It wasn’t a serious injury but Hrithik was in pain. He resumed shooting as soon as his pain subsided. He then joked about his injuries being lucky charms for his films.”

I had a horrible Sunday.. how can I have a super Sunday when Satya Sai Baba is dead? Just heard that Baba left his body and am sure is on his way to lots of temples. My heart bleeds for his followers. My sincere condolences.

A New Cricket Stadium Is What Shahrukh & Juhi Are Talking About

Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan, chirpy Juhi Chawla and her hubby Jai Mehta are all set to develop a cricket stadium in Porbandar, Gujarat.

Apparently, the troika has zeroed in on Mahatma Gandhi`s birthplace because Jai`s family has roots there. Interestingly, the owners Kolkata Knight Riders plan to take over the Duleep cricket ground in Porbandar to build a stadium to be named after Jai’s grandfather - Nanji Kalidas Mehta in its place.
Apart from adding strength to Gujarat`s cricket program, it will also provide training camps to KKR.
Talking to a daily, a source said, “The local district cricket association and Mehta Sports Private Limited recently inked a deal to build the Nanji Kalidas Mehta stadium at a cost of almost Rs 10 crore.”
“They have decided on a three-tiered approach. First they plan to make at least 12 pitches, then the dressing rooms and finally the stands. UK-based David Hemstock Associates will develop the outfield and dressing rooms.”

Bipasha Basu Is In To Outperform Sonam Kapoor

When ‘Players’, the Hindi remake of Hollywood hit ‘The Italian Job’ was announced, it was being looked at with keen interest that which Bollywood actress would be roped in to play the part of Charlize Theron. Reason being the heist action thriller had an all-men cast with Charlize being the sole leading lady.
While Abhishek Bachchan and Neil Nitin Mukesh were finalized for the key parts, Sonam Kapoor being announced as the chosen one led to a conclusion that hunt for a leading lady was finally over.
“There was more to it though with Bipasha Basu coming into picture as well”, says a source, “Suddenly the film became a two heroine film. Since Abbas-Mustan had clarified that Bipasha was not in the film for a cameo but instead a full fledged role, tongues started wagging around whether it would be her or Sonam who would be re-enacting the all-important part of Charlize.”
As it has been revealed now, it is an all new part which has been written for Bipasha as the makers wanted to make the film much more glamorized. So while Sonam continues to fill Charlize’s shoes, Bipasha too joins hands with all the boys and gets into an action mode.

Hrithik Roshan To Darken His Skin Tone For ‘Agneepath’

Actor Hrithik Roshan who is working on the remake of ‘Agneepath’ will be sporting a darker skin tone for his character in the film. He has done this before for the Yash Raj Film, ‘Dhoom 2’ where he played the role of an anti-hero.
Hrithik seems to be taking this role very seriously and he is leaving no stones unturned to get into the skin of the strong character he is about to play in the flick.
He is playing the role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the classic remake, the original of which was portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan. ‘Agneepath’ is being filmed in Mumbai at the moment.
Amitabh Bachchan who played the iconic character in the film won many accolades for his role. It will be quiet exciting to see how the genX actor plays the part.
All are anticipating to watch Duggu in the film not just because he plays the iconic character of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan but also because it is the first time filmmaker-producer Karan Johar has decided to deviate from his patent choice of casting SRK in all his films so far.

Neha Dhupia Has Extended Her Workouts

Former beauty queen-turned-actress Neha Dhupia is fit as a fiddle, but a new workout plan has caused her body pain.
“Started a new fitness program yesterday… Ve aches n pains in different muscles and parts of my body that I never knew existed… Aarrrghh!” Neha posted on her Twitter page.
Her forthcoming release is Dear Friend Hitler.

Katrina Kaif Loses It To Sonam Kapoor

Somebody’s loss is somebody else’s gain. And this time Katrina Kaif has ended up being on the loser’s side. Apparently, the then work-starved Kat had approached veteran actor Pankaj Kapoor on several occasions to cast her in his directorial debut ‘Mausam’, a magazine has reported.
However, the stunning beauty could not convince Kapoor for the role. The debutant director was in search of someone who looked much younger than Katrina and could romance his son Shahid in his flick. So he opted for Sonam Kapoor.
It seems the two gorgeous actresses are never meant to be friends. On the first occasion in was Ranbir Kapoor, who had kept them aloof and now it is one of the most awaited films of the year. And considering Katrina’s track record for her enmity with her contemporaries, being friends with her ex-man’s ex-girlfriend is out of question.

Abhishek Bachchan - The Latest To Enter The Tattoo World

Abhishek Bachchan confessed, on a promotional event of Dum Maro Dum, that he would love to express his love to Aishwaraya by flaunting a tattoo.
Now, Ashwarya can also proudly enter the groups of Kareena and Suzzane. The only thing that is stopping Abhishek from getting a tattoo done is that he is unable to decide on the design.
But the actor is keen on giving his love a fresh touch.
Only time will show us his creativeness.

Katrina Kaif’s Guitar Gesture

The shooting of Yash Raj Films’ MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN that commenced on Monday, April the 4th (as we had broken the news), finally ended late on Wednesday, April the 13th. Most of the scenes involved Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif and were filmed in the Taj Mahal premises (Mehtab Bagh), Fatehpur Sikri Shrine and also at the Agra Fort.

There was a marriage scene, a take-off on the MUGHAL-E-AZAM and last but not the least the audience participated in a concert, whereby they cheered for a guitar strumming Katrina Kaif. This was one of the last shots that were canned at the historic Agra Fort.

In fact Imran Khan’s wife Avantika too joined her hubby and the two saw the monument of love, Taj Mahal for the first time! There was also the usual controversy, whereby the local tourist organisations accused the cast and crew of violating the norms at the heritage site, but thankfully no untoward incident occurred. 

Rana Is Highly Moved With Bipasha’s Sexy Figure

He’s not alone in falling for Bipasha Basu given the fact that the actress has one of the hottest bodies in town. But, what comes as a surprise is the fact that Rana Daggubati has chosen to speak about it in the open rather than mince his words.

Rana and Bipasha’s chemistry is already being talked about because of its off-screen spill. Much is being gossiped about the two. With John almost out of Bipasha’s life, it seems Rana is making his move on this seductive actress and he is getting it right so far. 

So, recently while promoting the film, when Rana was asked about his co-star Bipasha Basu this is what he had to say, “I think she is one of the fittest ladies I have ever seen in my life and working with her is one of the best things that has happened to me. When I met her the first day of shooting, I was new as an actor but she’s been around for so long and yet she did not make me feel out of place. I had a great comfort level working with her.”

With Rana in awe of Bips for the moment, let’s hope their on screen chemistry gets the much needed public nod.
