Akshay Kumar turns blue. But don't worry he's not sick. He has just got the word Blue inked on his neck for his upcoming underwater action caper Blue. He plays the character of a rich businessman who is obsessed with money and just can't get enough of it. The film has some fast paced action and breathtaking underwater sequences. Director Anthony thought it would be a good idea to have Blue tattooed on the nape of Akshay's neck to give his character an extra edge. What's more, Akshay even went on to shave off a bit of his eyebrows! It was a smart move to name Akshay's character in the film, Arav, which happens to be his son's name and is already tattooed on Akshay's back. That's some preparation, we'd say!
National award winning actress Rituparna Sengupta is quite miffed these days. Reason: she was robbed recently! At a crowded location in Kolkata, where she was shooting, somebody managed to steal her latest cell phones and a lakh in cash from her vanity van. the money, we are told was to go for the West Bengal chief minister's cyclone relief fund.
she was to go there to make the donation herself after the shooting, but landed there empty handed. She had to finally write a cheque right there to make the donation. But she lost most of her contacts since the police only managed to get back one phone and her wallet, but of course the money was gone. Apparently, she used to laugh when her friends would complain about losing their phones in trains or taxis, but not anymore.
Eesha Koppikhar's long lost desire of getting a black belt in Taekwondo was fulfilled recently. She's been practicing Taekwondo for the past eight years, and while she should have cleared her exams at least two years back, she is not complaining too much. It's a case of better late than never. She hopes she never needs to use her newly perfected skills except in films. And she'll get a chance to do exactly that. She is not only hosting a wrestling show on television but will be doing some raw stunts in her upcoming film Shabri. She's so motivated that she would now like to go in for the second level black belt too. The highest degree is ninth level. And she hopes to reach there when she's like 70, since it takes a good 30-40 years of relentless practice to get there!
Aushtosh Gowariker's penchant for perfection really cost Priyanka and Harman Baweja. During the shooting of What's Your Rashi, Ashutosh wanted one song sequence to be shot in a single go, so it took around 20-25 takes before he was finally satisfied. A khabru says that the shoot stretched on almost throughout the night and both Priyanka and Harman were half dead by pack up time. But being utterly professional as they are, they hardly complained. After the shoot was completed, somebody from the unit joked saying if the shoot had happened when Priyanka and Harman were supposedly dating, they would have loved the extended schedule! To this, someone else quipped "well they are best of friends even now..." Hmm, whatever?
It seems Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan have very smartly planned their possible marriage in 2011 knowing very well that most of Bebo's projects will be over by then. As of now Bebo has Main Aur Mrs Khanna, Kurbaan and Aamir Khan, starrer three idiots releasing this year. There are six more projects lined up for her including Gulel and dhoom 3. she can then hang up her boots, like most other actresses have done after tying the knot. Wonder if Sharmila Tagore will like the pataudi khandaan ki bahu appearing on the big screen in short dresses and bikini ala Kambaqt Ishq style post the wedding. Can't imagine Bebo in boring sister and bhabhi kind of roles though!
Recently, Amrita Rao, Akshay Khanna, Farhan Akhtar and Kangana Ranaut were travelling to a foreign locale together on the same flight. Apparently, Kangana was trying desperately to get Akshay's attention but he was busy catching up with Amrita instead, who eventually fell asleep on Akshay's shoulder after a tiring day! In fact, once the flight landed in Hong Kong, Kangana introduced herself to Akshay as his co-star in the next Anil Kapoor film to which all that Akshay said was "really." Well by the way, it seems like Akshay and Amrita have a great chemistry going on.
Wonder what Shahid would have to say now since he has been calling Amrita quite frequently these days. Some soap opera style complications here?
