Sallu's finale snub

All's not well between Salman Khan and Lara Dutta. Sources reveal that the two shared icy cold vibes on the sets of 10 Ka Dum during the grand finale shoot.

Last week, Salman shot for the final episode of the first season along with guests like Rani Mukerji, Anu Malik, Rakhi Sawant, Shakeel, and Lara Dutta.

While Salman mingled with Rakhi and Rani and even entertained them with his one-liners, he didn't share similar vibes with Lara. Eyewitnesses present on the set reveal that it was obvious there was some tension between the two.

A source reveals, "Rani and Lara came together as guests on the show. They were very chirpy with each other but as soon as they walked on the stage to face Salman, the equation changed."

Even though Salman asked them both a common question, he was more interactive with Rani than Lara. "It was evident that Salman was more comfortable talking to Rani than Lara. Even his jokes and his one-liners were directed towards her. Lara looked like she was out of place."

Sources reveal that problem between Salman and Lara started when Kareena replaced her in Sohail's home production Main Aur Mrs Khanna. "Salman and Lara got along really well in Partner. But after that they really haven't interacted much. Lara was in the running for the lead role of Main Aur Mrs Khanna but she wasn't too happy with the way she was dropped from the film. That remained a sore point between the two. Moreover, Lara is also part of SRK's Billoo Barber, and as Sallu detests anyone who has anything to do with SRK as of now could also be a reason."

Things were different prior to this incident. "Sallu and Lara were hanging out a lot during the Partner period. In fact, it was Salman who recommended Lara to David Dhawan for the film. There was even buzz that the two were more than just friends."

Onlookers add that even after the episode's shoot, Salman and Rani were seen bonding together while Lara maintained her distance.

"Shah Rukh and I are no longer friends" - Salman Khan

Salman Khan on the big fight and his equations with Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar and God!

Since your film, God Tussi Great Ho, is releasing this Friday, it'll be interesting to know in which situation do you say the film's title?
I say that in each and every situation. No matter what happens I always thank God. Agar yeh nahi bologe toh aap nashukr ho (if you don't say this then you're thankless). God has given me so much and I just have to appreciate it.

What kind of a relationship do you share with God?
(He blows a kiss to the sky) That's my rapport with God. I talk to him all the time. I always get my answers from him. Sure, there have been instances when he doesn't listen to me and doesn't give me what I ask for but he does that only when I don't deserve it. I've observed that whenever God hasn't given me what I asked for, it's for the best.

You do a lot of comedy films, what is it that clicks with the audience about your comic style?
I think it's the sincerity and the person's personality that the audience relates to.

Which is your all time favourite comic film?
Andaaz Apna Apna. I've only seen the whole thing once but whenever I happen to catch it on television I end up being glued to it.

Is it true that there is going to be a sequel to Andaaz Apna Apna?
That's what I hear. Aamir (Khan) wants to do it. It all depends on our director Rajkumar Santoshi. I'm game for it.

You come across as a very warm and affable host on 10 Ka Dum, how do you make sure to be always in a good mood?
It's very simple. If you come to my house and you are being nice to me so why wouldn't I be nice to you? I don't fake anything. If I'm not in a good mood then that too shows on screen. But bad mood doesn't mean that I've to behave badly. I try and be a good host.

But you're not comfortable with women hugging you?
(Shrugs) They come in, they are very sweet to me and I don't mind it if they hug me. That's their way of showing affection and I respect that.

But are you a hugging person?
Nope. I'm not an exhibitionist, not a demonstrative person. No hugs for me.

But you do know how to throw the most talked about party?
It was Katrina Kaif's party. Maybe it'll be talked about for decades to come but definitely not by me. I'm not going to speak about it.

But was there a fight with Shah Rukh Khan?
Yeah.

What led to the fight?
Have you ever known me to speak about anybody? Whatever happened is between me and Shah Rukh. It's personal.

Is Shah Rukh your friend?
Not anymore. I'm not going to deny that there are issues between us. I'm a primitive man born in today's time. I can't fake anything. If there is a problem then I'm not going to deny it. We've had problems before also but this time I don't think we can sort them out. We are two different people. Our values and way of thinking are different. I don't think we can be friends. I think it's better to declare that then put on a fake façade of being friends and back-biting each other.

But there is a lot of shared history between you and SRK, didn't he stay at your house in his struggling days?
(Smiles) Yeah but I've only been to his house twice in my life. The first time I went on my own and the second time was when he came and took me to his house for a chat.

The buzz is that professional rivalry between the two of us especially with regards, your respective shows, Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain and 10 Ka Dum, led to the fight?
No, I don't think it's because my show is doing better. I don't think he's that insecure. The reason of the fight is personal.

Is it because he refused to act in your home production, Main Aur Mrs Khanna?
Let me make it clear once and for all that Main Aur Mrs Khanna was never offered to SRK. I was always doing the film. It's just that when Shah Rukh used to come to my home to ask me to appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati and Om Shanti Om, I just mentioned it to him that it'll be nice if he has the time to listen to the story. That's all.

It seems you and Aamir Khan are the latest best friends. You're gifting him paintings etc?
Aamir and I have always got along. I made his portrait and gifted to him. What's the big deal?

There are rumours that you and Akshay Kumar share cold vibes too. True?
No, no, not at all. Akshay is a colleague. He's a nice guy. He is very hardworking and keeps to himself. Akshay will work hard to bring himself up and not to bring someone else down.

Every second day there are stories of you and Katrina Kaif either breaking up or making up. What's the status?
First of all, I want to know who are all these friends, sources close to me and my family who speak on our behalf? My friends will never speak like that about me or anyone close to me because they will give their life for me. Obviously it's someone who is insecure, jealous and friendly to the press. Maybe they are someone else's friends.

That doesn't answer my question.
What do you want to know?

Just tell me are you and Katrina together?
Yeah.

Priety Zinta back in Action

Preity Zinta has put the highs and lows of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and her Mohali team behind and is busy with as many as four pending films and looks forward to the Bachchans' world tour.

Back to work: After a well-deserved break, Preity is now raring to go. She says, "I didn't realise how much I had put behind. I've so much pending work. Four films are at different stages of completion. I've to immediately start dubbing for Harr Pal and Heroes. Then I leave for the world tour with the Bachchans."

For Prem: In Heroes, she is paired opposite one of her favourite co-stars, Salman Khan. And she has even agreed to do a cameo in the Salman-Kareena Kapoor starrer Main Aur Mrs Khanna. "It's Salman's home production ... and he is a buddy. But it's not an item song but an interesting cameo. And I've agreed to be in the film because the director, Prem Soni, is a dear friend. And since Salman has played Prem so often, let's just say this one is for Prem," she chuckled.

On Deepa Mehta: Preity is also excited about her Punjabi film Heaven On Earth with acclaimed director Deepa Mehta. And the filmmaker has apparently said that Preity is the best actress she has ever worked with.
"I love Deepa for that. When she signed me for the film, she told me she wanted the actress, not the star. That sounded so corny. But when I reached Toronto to shoot Heaven On Earth I knew exactly what she meant. I'm dying to see the complete film," she says.

IPL downside: Looking back on the IPL experience, Preity says – "it was one helluva learning experience".
"It was very annoying to hear rubbish like 'Preity sat on a cricketer's lap'. Does it make any sense for me to make a public spectacle of myself? I mean that's hardly me. I don't sit on people's laps," she remarked.

The Bright side: The actress, who was the co-owner of Kings XI Punjab, stressed that it was a positive experience on the whole. "I learnt a whole new definition of ‘on-field bonding’. As a film actor I've always worked in a team ... but not in this way. Here, on the field I was hands-on.
"I loved the Sri Lankan and Australian boys. Some of the Australians would hardly utter a word. I had to make a special effort to make the younger inexperienced Indian players comfortable. Now I know that having bonded together in spite of being from different spaces, they'd understand team spirit much better."

Her Eq: Preity was unabashedly demonstrative during the games and it got people talking. "I showed my emotions spontaneously. I hugged, I cried and I cheered when I wanted. If that was misconstrued by some, so be it. I was having a good time learning so much about cricket and human behaviour.
"As for the spoilsports, they can't be helped. There were people who cribbed about not being invited to the matches. The IPL experience made me realise who my friends are."

All in the game: Preity admits that there was a sense of loss when her Mohali team lost at the penultimate match in Mumbai, but she still defends her team stoutly.
"I can't say my team played badly at Mumbai. We did go right up to the semi-finals. And that was no mean achievement. Next time we'll go right to the top."

The future: Though next time is far away, Preity says she would be better prepared at that time. "A lot of planning has to be done for the next IPL matches. The first time was a huge learning experience. And we need to make sure we don't make the same mistakes again. I also need to learn how to avoid getting crowded. This time I nearly lost an eye in the jostling. But I thoroughly enjoyed the IPL experience. Being on the field with the boys made me understand the importance of solidarity on the job. I guess it has made me a more mature person," said the actress-entrepreneur.

Kareena: Around the world in 365 days

Bebo whizzed into Mumbai to spend time with neice, Samaira; will catch up with Saif in London soon

Kareena Kapoor has been shooting round the clock. First it was for Sohail Khan’s Main Aur Mrs Khanna in Australia, thereafter she headed to Bangkok for IIFA in and then to Pattaya for Golmaal Returns. But the actress, who is devoted to her niece, Samaira Kapur (sister Karisma and brother-in-law Sanjay’s daughter), flew in from for three days to spend three days with her.

Says Kareena, “I have been in Australia shooting for MAMK since over a month. After IIFA, I went to Phuket for the shooting of Golmaal Returns and Head & Shoulders ad. I missed Samaira and Lolo (her sister, Karisma) terribly so I flew all the way back to Mumbai for two days on June 17 to see my niece and sis. I was dying to give Samaira a hug and cuddle. Mom (Babita) was there in Melbourne with me but I haven’t seen Sam and Lolo in a long time.”

Kareena left Mumbai last night to head to Amsterdam for a show with Shah Rukh Khan. Adds Kareena, “After the show I will go to London and spend a few days with Saif there while he’s shooting for his home production and after that, I fly off to Los Angeles for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kambakht Ishq. Once that is complete, there is no break for me. After I return in August, I start shooting for Raju Hirani’s next with Aamir.”

Saif is miserable in London without Bebo. Kareena laughs, “We are missing each other. I haven’t met Saif since IIFA, where we met for only three hours. Now I will spend a couple of days with him in London after the Amsterdam show and that time will be ours alone...”

Kareena has no regrets about Tashan unlike co-stars Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. She says, “My performance was appreciated and my looks and styling were the most talked about. My figure became a debate for national news! I am happy Tashan and what it gave me. Films doing or not doing well doesn’t affect me. Success and failures are a part and process of life. Today I have the best lineup of films and it can’t get better. I am happy with life…”

Preity to do a cameo for Salman’s home production

The IPL jamboree and hoopla over, Preity Zinta took off for a quiet week-long holiday at a place where there was no noise, bustle and cellphones. “The worst thing is I wasn’t even allowed to talk. Can you imagine... me not talking?”

Rejuvenated, she’s raring to get back to films. “I didn’t realise how much I had been put behind. I have so much pending work. Four films are at different stages of completion. I’ve to immediately start dubbing for Harr Pal and Heroes. Then I leave for the world tour with the Bachchans.”

In Heroes, she stars with one of her favourite co-stars Salman Khan, for whom she has agreed to do an item song in the Salman-Kareena starrer Main Aur Mrs Khanna.

Preity corrects, “It’s Salman’s home production. And he is a buddy. But it’s not an item song, really. It’s an interesting cameo. And I’ve agreed to be in the film because the director Prem Soni is a dear friend.

And since Salman has played Prem so often, let’s just say this one is for Prem.”

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan on the sets of Main Aur Mrs. Khanna

As the adjoining picture 'crystal clearly' depicts, the 'Lady in Red' Kareena Kapoor looks more than a million bucks in her forthcoming film Main Aur Mrs Khanna with Salman Khan. The film's that's being directed by the debutante Prem Soni also stars Sohail Khan.





Not the one to mince her words and feelings, Kareena, had earlier said that she was tad nervous to work with Salman Khan, despite the fact that she had earlier worked together with him in Kyon Ki. History also has it that there were two mega films with this pair that never saw the light of the day, for many unknown reasons. These films were Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Baajirao Mastani and Salman Khan's home production My Punjabi Nikaah.

After having put 'Size Zero' behind her, Kareena seems to have put on some weight. If the glow on her face is any indication, then, one wonders how lucky and 'Saif' must be her real-life. What say, Kareena!

Bebo is a Size One

“Kareena is in Australia shooting for Mr and Mrs Khanna with Salman Khan and I have been told that she will be the star show stealer for my collection. And now that she is a size one, I have to work doubly hard to get the clothes to fit perfectly”, opening lines as I chat up with ace fashion designer, Manish Malhotra.
Yes, after achieving the much-talked about international figure and initiating a trend of sorts, Bebo is now a size ‘one’. Post-the Tashan and bikini hoopla, Kareena who is currently shooting with Salman Khan in Australia for ‘Main Aur Mrs. Khanna’ is finally giving into the ‘Kapoor urge for food’. That and the hectic shoot schedules are eating up into Kareena’s workout time who will make her first public appearance in the newly acquired figure at IIFA 2008.

Scheduled to be held at Bangkok from June 6-8, IIFA will not just see Kareena grooving to some chartbusting numbers along the likes of Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Govinda, but also walking the ramp for her favourite designer Manish Malhotra. B-town’s blue-eyed stylist who’s responsible for the makeover of some of the biggest stars, Manish is checking everything twice over to make sure that this one goes smooth.

The designer who will present a bridal collection focusing on Indians colours, will also experiment with the colour ‘black’. Manish discloses, I am looking forward to the international Indian platform that will allow me to showcase my art. I will be using 15 female models and 5 male models. But right now, I am concentrating on Kareena.”

Kareena will fly down to Bangkok on the 7th, a couple of hours before the fashion extravaganza. No wonder Manish is having sleepless nights !!!

Main Aur Sydney!

Sallu starrer Main Aur Mrs Khanna is first film to get permission to shoot at high security airport

Salman Khan’s Main Aur Mrs Khanna has managed the near-impossible. They’ve got permission to shoot at the Sydney Airport.

The crew managed to get the go-ahead to shoot from 10 pm to 6 am after part of the airport was shut for them.

A source from the sets reveals, “It was very hard for an Indian producer to get permission to shoot at a high risk place like an airport.

But the producers, UTV Motion Pictures and Sohail Khan Productions, managed to pull it off. The sequences at the airport are an integral part of the script.

Where The Action’s At: Sydney Airport Terminal Control Unit
The unit has been pulling night shifts for the film. All the lead actors, Salman, Kareena and Sohail have to report on the airport at 9 pm and they stay on till 7 am.”

The film is directed by debutant Prem Soni and the unit is amidst a month-long shooting stint.

Actor-producer Sohail Khan confirms, “We did shoot at the Sydney Airport.

It was fun but very hectic. Right now we are shooting in Melbourne and will be back to in Mumbai on June 15 and will begin post-production work.”

Busy Khan, can do it!
Salman Khan will work round the clock in the coming months. The actor, who is busy shooting in Australia, for MAMK will not get a breather till the end of the year.

After returning from Australia, he begins shooting for Vipul Shah’s London Dreams. The initial shoot for LD will last till mid-August in Mumbai.

In September, the unit goes to London to wrap the film. After this, Khan will stay back to start shooting for Veer from November, penned by him.

So when is the actor going to give time to his new show 10 Ka Dum?

"I always get nervous working with Salman" - Kareena

On Tuesday, Kareena who's been on a vertiginous high since the release of Jab We Met finally started shooting a new film at Film City at the outskirts of Mumbai. Nervous like a debutante, Kareena said, "Although we've done Priyadarshan's Kyun Ki before, I always get nervous working with Salman. He was my sister's hero long before we were paired together. And now to be doing a film with him…"

The two were destined to serenade immortality in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani. But the film never happened. Kareena was also signed for Salman Khan's home production My Punjabi Nikaah. That never happened either.

Kareena chuckles in disbelief. "Our new film Main Aur Mrs Khanna is an intensely romantic film. I don't think Salman has done a pure love story like this before. Neither have I. Sohail is also in the film."

Interestingly, this is the first time in her distinguished career that Kareena will be working with a debutant director Prem Soni. "He's very talented. It wouldn't matter even if he wasn't. I'm doing it for Salman," says Kareena emotionally.
