Salman Khan on the set of Mountain Dew AD
Salman Khan indulges in daredevilry for soft drink ad.
It is touted to be Salman Khan's new actioner after Dabangg. The star has indulged in the daredevil adventure sport of wing suit flying in a commercial of his new endorsement for a soft drink.
The ad was recently shot at a remote location in the mountainous terrains of New Zealand. It was filmed by an international crew helmed by action-adventure film maker Bob Gordon. Sallu has done the stunts himself.
Says a unit source, "The only way to reach the shooting locale was by a helicopter. There were five of them on the sets that feature in the ad as well."
The makers claim that it is the actor's biggest ad production keeping in mind the ad's Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai campaign.
Adds the source, "The film has been mounted on a mega scale and the production budget exceeded over a million dollars."
The ad goes on air from February 25.

Amrita Rao dating an NRI surgeon!
The rumours that suggested Amrita Rao was dating Shahid Kapoor can safely be put to rest.
Yes, Shahid has had Priyanka Chopra as his ladylove for quite long now but here's the other side of the story. Amrita has been in a long-distance relationship with an NRI from San Francisco.
Our source said, "Amrita was once in the news for being artist MF Hussain's muse. Later, Bollywood was always abuzz with rumours about Amrita dating different men but most of the rumours fell flat after a point of time.
But this time she seems to have finally found love. Amrita has been dating a certain Neil Kulkarni, an NRI orthopaedic surgeon based out of San Francisco."
In August, last year, the actress was in the midst of her Rajshri Production shoot for Love You Mr Kalakar in San Francisco.
She also participated in promoting a charity event there, during which she apparently met Neil.
They say, Amrita's aunt introduced the two and also told her that he would be the perfect guy for her. Kulkarni works for one of the top hospitals there. According to sources, he too was quite smitten by Amrita.
The source added, "Amrita has tried hard to keep her personal life under wraps. Though it is a long-distance relationship, both Amrita and Neil are trying their level best to keep the romance alive.
Neil made a trip to Mumbai to bring in the New Year with Amrita. But she did not allow the information to go out."
When contacted, Amrita Rao did not revert but her publicist said, "Career is all that's on Amrita's mind and she has no time for love.
Though unwillingly, Ranveer Singh has let the cat out of the bag. His acting skills were lauded extensively in Band Baaja Baraat but Ranveer proved to be quite an amateur at improvisation.
While shooting an episode with Anushka Sharma on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan, Ranveer accidentally referred to Rani Mukerji as "MD" of Yash Raj Films while not taking her name.
Ranveer has a three-film contract with Yash Raj Films and happens to be Aditya Chopra's blue-eyed boy. Our source said, "The conversation on the show was between KJo and Anushka Sharma and Karan asked Anushka if she thought she could act better than all other actresses in the industry.
Anushka said, 'Yes, barring one.' Before she could say who, Ranveer, who had been silent, blurted out the question, 'MD?' and before anyone else, KJo said, 'Oh, let's not go that path'."
According to industry sources Rani is believed to be the one calling the shots at YRF. And if this rumour were anything to go by, Ranveer accidentally affirmed it.
Though Anushka spoke soon enough and said that she was referring to Kareena Kapoor, the damage was done.
The source added, "It is known that ever since Rani has been dating Adi, the head honcho of YRF Films, she is one of the most feared people in Yash Raj Studios.
She is believed to be one of the key decision makers in the YRF camp. Ranveer might have referred to Rani, hoping Anushka would name her and in turn impress Adi."
Whilst a lot may be lost in translation we would still give Ranveer benefit of the doubt and ask: were you referring to Madhuri Dixit by any chance.

Monica: I have surprised myself with DHOBI GHAT

With a strong presence that her character boasts right through this film which is now ready for theatrical release in India after making the rounds of the festival circuits, one wonders if Monica ever realised the enormity of the platform when she actually began to shoot for DHOBI GHAT.
"Not really actually", Monica says in a cautions tone, "You know what, my situation in case of DHOBI GHAT was quite curious actually. I have been extremely interested in music and played with 'Shaa'ir + Func' for four years now. In many ways I am very happy with my career in music. It is art that excites me, whether it is music or acting. As long as I can get a special change in the world regardless of the capacity that I can contribute, it would be worth it."
But didn't she miss her team from 'Shaa'ir + Func' while shooting for the film? After all from being a live performer, she was suddenly getting into a more rehearsed environment?
"As I stated earlier, it is all about the different formats of art that you are a part of at any given point in time", says Monica who has cut a few albums via her band in the past, "I have always been an actor; it's just the platform that differs. It's eventually about changing people's minds and pushing things forward. I have always aspired to do great things and working really hard since I was very-very young. With my first feature film now, I have happily surprised myself. More than just being an actor in the film, I am glad that a film like this has been made."
DHOBI GHAT releases all over on 21st January.

Ajay Devgn in trouble over smoking on Golmaal 3 sets
In a complaint, on Wednesday, to the state tobacco control cell and the union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE) general secretary Shekhar Salkar said that Devgn, who was fined once for smoking in public in Chandigarh, deserved more stringent action as he was becoming a habitual offender of the 'no smoking in public' rule.
"This being the second violation by Ajay Devgn, we feel that the punishment given to such type of habitual law breakers is too meagre. In view of this, we strongly feel that the penalty under section 4 of the COPTA (Control of Tobacco Products Act) law for both one who violates the law and one who allows violating the law should be increased," Salkar said.
A local newspaper flashed photographs of Devgn smoking on the sets of Golmaal 3 on Tuesday with the film's director Rohit Shetty standing an arm's length away.
The general secretary of NOTE, which has in the past dragged Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to court for directly or indirectly promoting smoking, has also said that habitual violators of the COPTA law should be jailed.
"Fine for the first offence should be Rs.500, for the second it should be raised to Rs.5,000 and for the third offence an imprisonment for a period of six months, in addition to a fine of Rs.5,000 should be imposed," Salkar said.
Devgn is the third Bollywood actor to be caught smoking in Goa this month.
Earlier this month, actors Tusshar Kapoor and Arshad Warsi were hauled up by NOTE for smoking during a film shoot in Margao, 35 kms from Panaji, Goa.
Abhishek said no to Raavan’s Tamil version
Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan, says he opted out of director Mani Ratnam’s Tamil version of Raavan, where he was originally slated to play the role of Dev, due to language problems.
"When Mani decided to make Raavan it was only in Hindi. The idea of Tamil version came in later. He told me to swap roles from Beera in Hindi to Dev in Tamil. Even though I agreed initially, I realised that I would not be able to do justice to the role since I am not comfortable with the language," said Abhishek.
"I told Mani that I did not want to do a film in a language which I did not understand. It is important for an actor know the language… Aishwarya is in both the versions because she knows it," he said.
"Even though Mani was adamant, I managed to convince him that I would not be able to do the best job," the actor said.
Moreover, I had my hands full with ’Beera’ which was a tough character to play, the actor said.
Southern actor Prithviraj now plays Dev’s character in the Tamil version and superstar Vikram essays Raavan.
Abhishek clarified that Raavan had no connection with the mythological epic ’Ramayan’.
"It would be futile to unnecessarily draw parallels because the only connection is the name Raavan. It is an apt title for the film because of the different shades of Beera’s personality," he said.
"In fact, Beera’s pet name is ’Raavan’. He has a small sister who calls him by that name," the actor revealed.
He said when he told Mani that comparisons to Ramayan would be inevitable due to the film’s title, the director asked him to name one film in India which does not have an influence of epics and mythological stories.
"Also, it is a contemporary film with no reference to naxalism or any naxal leader," he added.
Katrina Kaif to play daughter of Amitabh Bachchan in Aarakshan
Katrina Kaif is all excited and ready for her very different avatar in her next flick Rajneeti. She will also be seen in another movie that will prove to be very challenging to her.
The actress will be seen playing the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter in her next upcoming movie, Aarakshan. This movie will be directed by the same director of Rajneeti, Prakash Jha.
The director says that this movie is all about job reservations of the backward classes. And it will speak a lot about the difficulties people face to find a decent job in the country.
With Katrina who prepared herself with mavericks related to dynastic politics for her film Rajneeti, she is already looking into information related to job reservations in the country for this new film too.
The entire movie will be set on a college background with students wandering about to find a suitable job. And Amitabh Bachchan will be playing.
The role of the college principal whose character is entirely inspired from his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
The movie will have Ajay Devagan in the male lead role. Ajay will play the role of being the principal’s favourite student who belongs to a backward class and supports reservation. Ajay is casted along with Big B in two projects this year. One being this movie and the other is an untitled movie by Rajkumar Santoshi.
Salman Khan is interested in working with Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone debuted with SRK starrer ‘Om Shanti Om’ which was in a sort of proxy war with Salman Khan’s ‘Saawariya’ at the time of its release. As such, there was not much interaction between Sallu Bhai and Deepika. However, time and again, it was said that both the actors had expressed their desire to work with each other. Deepika had once said to BT, “Salman is one actor I’m looking forward to doing a film with.”
Now that gossip columns are going red with the rumors of Ranbir Kapoor seeing Salman’s girl Katrina Kaif, Salman seems to be more eager than ever to work with Ranbir’s ex-flame Deepika Padukone. Trade sources say that director Anees Bazmee will cast the two as the leading pair in his next project. Where Deepika said that she is unaware of these reports, sources close to Salman say that this is a definite and immediate possibility because “Bhai wants to do a movie with Deepika.”
Whether the two will get an opportunity to display sparking on-screen chemistry, only time will tell.

Ravi Kishan to undergo past life regression
Shekhar Suman will host that episode of 'Raaz...'
The special episode, which will feature Ravi undergoing past life regression therapy with the help of therapist Trupti Jayin, will be telecast Monday on NDTV Imagine.
While Shekhar has already undergone it on the show, Ravi had been waiting to get a first-hand experience of the therapy that helps people in understanding the reasons behind their present-day fears, phobia and physical ailments.
Ravi says he has always had an angst of leaving everything and going away from his family. On the show he found out why.
According to a press release from the channel, during the course of his regression, Ravi revealed that he saw himself as a 35-year-old Naga Sadhu in Manali during the 1890s. His parents had forced him to marry against his will at a very young age.
He also revealed that there were certain circumstances that led him to commit three murders in his past life, which changed his life forever.
"I am completely amazed by my regression and feel relieved about my fear. I now have a positive attitude towards my negative feelings and look forward to a better life ahead," said Ravi.

Akshay's new strategy for avoiding flops
He’s working for free!
Akshay Kumar won’t be charging anything for his next two films – “Khatta Meetha” and “Tees Maar Khan” – which are being co-produced by his production house Hari Om Productions.
Trade circles say that Akki, who has reportedly even signed a film for a fee as high as Rs.71 crore, has had a change of mind.
The actor explains the logic behind this drastic move of not charging his market fee: "My fee for both the films will be zero. If both films are hits, then my production house will stand to benefit by getting a part of the profits. If the film is average, the profit margin will automatically be reduced. However, it's important to note here that even if the film flops, no one will lose money because the budget has been controlled."
It’s believed that Akshay’s astronomical fee for films like “Chandni Chowk To China”, “8x10 Tasveer” and “Kambakkht Ishq” unrealistically increased the budgets of these movies making it hard for them to recover the huge investments thereby causing them to tank at the box office.

Abhishek all set for TV debut
Launch date of game show yet to be announced
Dressed in a bright yellow coat over a pale yellow shirt and white trousers, Abhishek Bachchan sports a metrosexual look for his debut TV show "National Bingo Night" to be aired on Colors.
Apart from that, the actor sports a baby pink jacket for the promotional photo shoot for the show.
However, this isn't the first time Abhishek is flaunting the metrosexual look - he made similar style statements in movies like "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" and "Dostana".
He is extremely excited about the show, being produced by Fox Television Studios India Pvt. Ltd.
"It's a fun-filled show where the whole country will be my guest without applying any brains or answer any difficult questions. This is such a chilled out concept and something that has never been done before in India. The sheer simplicity of the idea and the fact that this show is highly interactive is what attracted me to it," Abhishek said in a press statement.
The game show will have two fast-paced rounds of the popular guessing game 'Bingo'.
The formal launch of the show was preceded by a flurry of marketing activity including teasers on the channel. For the past few weeks, viewers could see glimpses of Abhishek reclining on a chair or dozing in a cosy bed in promos announcing the launch of his 'Aaram Classes'.
"The idea here is that it's a show which is to be enjoyed by relaxing. That's why we came up with the concept of Aaram Classes... we want people to chill out and play this game. There's no stress, no tension involved at all. So tune in to learn 'aaram' and get ready for Bingo," said Abhishek.
The launch date of the show has yet to be announced.
The format of the show is owned by 20th Fox Television Distribution and it has run successfully in the US, Australia and Philippines.

Shaleen Bhanot denies looking like Shah Rukh
TV actor putting heart and soul into new serial
TV actor Shaleen Bhanot says his look in NDTV Imagine's new show "Do Hanson Ka Jodaa" has no similarity with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's in the hit movie "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi".
"I think he (Shah Rukh) will commit suicide if he comes to know that somebody is comparing me to him. But honestly, there is no similarity between his character and mine. Maybe we look similar due to the get up, but there have been other actors like Amol Palekar who have done such roles before," Shaleen told IANS.
In "Do Hanson Ka Jodaa", which will premiere on Jan 18, Shaleen plays Suryakamal, an ordinary looking middle-class man who gets married to Preeti, a girl who dreamt of marrying a handsome hunk. The show is about how Preeti adjusts with Suryakamal.
"The only reason why they have built up such a look for the lead is because a simple, middle class man who is very religious towards his work, usually looks like that. Spectacles, a neat pair of trousers, a crisp shirt and at times, oily hair - and that's just my look in the show," he said.
At a time when all male actors are busy pumping iron for the perfect six packs, Shaleen lost six kgs of muscle and grew a moustache to play the simpleton.
"I have put my heart and soul towards this show. I had to lose six kgs of my muscle, I had to grow a moustache and even my side locks. I have put in a lot to make my character look real and I hope the show turns out well," said Shaleen.
Though Shaleen was using a fake moustache at first, he decided to grow a real one.
"A fake moustache looks fake. So I thought I'd rather grow my own moustache. I am very religious towards my work. I felt the fake one was hindering my acting and my performance, and I wanted to be very natural," he said.
A former MTV "Roadies" participant, Shaleen has also acted in shows like "Saat Phere", "Kulvaddhu" and "Kaajjal". However, he came into spotlight when he won dance reality show "Nach Baliye 4", in which he participated with his then girlfriend and now wife, actress Daljeet Kaur.
The duo tied the knot on Dec 9 this year. But they haven't even had the time to plan their honeymoon yet.
"I'm on the 70th heaven as of now. I don't know when we will go for honeymoon so we are trying to take out as much time as we can to roam around with each other as of now," he said.

'3 Idiots' accused of glorifying ragging
NGO complains to Supreme Court
A voluntary organisation working against ragging in India has complained to the Supreme Court appointed anti-ragging committee about the menace being glorified in Bollywood film '3 Idiots'.
"We have written to the R.K. Raghavan committee about the ragging scene in the film.
Raghavan has assured us to take appropriate action," Harsh Agarwal, head of the Coalition to Uproot Ragging from Education (CURE), told IANS.
"... recently released movie 3 Idiots has a scene on ragging, shown in a lighter sense. This is director Raj Kumar Hirani's second film, first being Munnabhai MBBS, where ragging has been used as a theme to make the audience laugh," Agarwal has written in his complaint to Raghavan.
"This not only shows the insensitivity towards the issue but more importantly such acts significantly add to the confusion already existing in the society vis-a-vis ragging. Millions of people, who don't know anything about ragging but have watched Munnabhai MBBS, till today remember the scene from this film and believe that ragging is all about dance and fun," the complaint adds.
Agarwal said instead of creating awareness against ragging, "the movie is glorifying it. Treating it as a subject of fun. This must end as hundreds of students across India suffer a lot due to ragging."
According to a study by CURE, the number of ragging cases reported (from July 2008-June 2009) are 88, number of ragging deaths are 12 and number of attempted suicides (due to ragging) are five.

Naseeruddin Shah did 'Bolo Raam' for free
Murder mystery releasing on New Year’s Eve
Murder mysteries have almost become dormant in Bollywood but attempting the same is debutant director Rakesh Chaturvedi with "Bolo Raam", releasing on New Year's Eve.
Produced by Goldy Bhutani of Shree Keshav Films, "Bolo Raam" features stalwarts like Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri who are coming together after "Maharathi".
Chaturvedi has himself scripted the film, which is the launch vehicle of actor Rishi Bhutani.
Padmini Kolhapure makes a comeback on big screen with the movie after her long sabbatical. The thriller also stars Rajpal Yadav and Govind Namdeo in pivotal roles.
"The movie is looking good and one can't tell that it has been made by a first time director. Rishi is a full package with a good body, acting and talent," Om Puri has been quoted as saying.
The story revolves around a boy named Raam who is charged with the murder of his mother, Archana. Raam falls into a state of shock and brief psychotic disorder after his mother's death and becomes silent. He refuses to talk or react.
The story unfolds as the investigating officer, Indrajeet Singh Rathi, much to his frustration is puzzled and unable to make Raam speak. He then consults a psychiatrist called Negi to find out the cause of Raam's state of mind and the reason for his silence.
The movie progresses as he interrogates various people to dig out information about Raam. Every possible motive that Raam might have for murdering his mother is explored.
It has been reported that Naseer did the movie free of cost because he thought it would be an injustice to the script and the role if any commercial angle was introduced.
