‘Housefull’ prints facing a crisis due to volcanic ash eruptions
The volcanic ash has not only crashed the private plans of some of our Bollywood stars but have also given sleepless nights to our prodcers. One such producer is Said Nadiawala whose summer comedy ‘Housefull’ which is set to release this 30th is facing a filemma as the commerical flights have been cancelled and as per release rules the delivery overseas has to be made a week in advance of the release day.
So, Sajid Nadiawala is left with no other option but to hire private jets to take the prints of his movie to England and other European countries.
“This is most unforeseen. In all my years as a producer I’ve never encountered such a a crisis. There’re about a 100 prints to be taken into the Europe. Air traffic has come to a standstill.
I’m hiring private jets to carry the prints to the nearest city with an open air base. From there the prints will be taken to various Euopean cities by train or road. I’m so desperate I’m ready to employ any means of transporation…planes, trains, automobiles, whatever is available,” said Sajid.
Apart from the extra expenditure, Sajid also has other things to worry about. He says, “It doesn’t really matter how much money it would cost. The important thing is to get the prints to the European centres on time. Or else the entire overseas release would be affected.”
Sajid is in no mood to celebrate the completion of his movie ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ and says, “Ranbir Kapoor had a wrap-up party for Anjaana Anjaani. But I wasn’t able to attend because of the these two back-to-back crisis at my workplace. Now I’ll celebrate only when Housefull is released properly everywhere.”
Hrithik Roshan to romance an American beauty this time
If Hrithik RoshanÆs hot scenes and sizzling chemsitry with Barbara Mori in ‘Kites’ was not enough, the hot hunk is all set to romance another foreign beauty, this time the 20-year-old American actress Kristen Stewart(’Twilight’ and ‘Blue Moon’ fame) in Shekhar KapoorÆs ‘Paani’.
It will be a sort of Romeo-Juliet romantic saga where Hrithik will be a lower-class Mumbai rebel and Kristen will be the fair, delicate, tall and pretty wealthy beauty and then they fall in love…
Kristen was quite positive when the offer was made to her as she is apparently fond of Shekhar’s work. However, Shekhar does not want to divulge much at this point and says, ôI canÆt speak of the cast on record until everything is in place. Too many times IÆve been accused of talking about projects that never happen. But did I announce Buddha or Mandela? No. If people jumped the gun, I canÆt help it. But Paani is a film that IÆm definitely making, and this year.
Anoushka Sharma moves on from salwar-kameez to sexy bikini tops
After you had seen Anoushka Sharma as a shy Punjabi girl with her all-covered salwar-kameez in ‘Rab Ne Bana De Jodi’, it comes as a pleasant surprise as the girl switches to chic miniskirts, bikini tops and hot pants in her forthcoming ‘Badmaash Company’ where she stars opposite Shahid Kapoor. If her sexy makeover was not enough, she also has a steamy and passionate kiss with Shahid in the movie.
Though director Parmeet Sethi does admit that he was ‘ a little hesitant initially’ whether Anoushka could carry off the role of a sexy con woman, he is now all praises for the way Anoushka has turned out.
“To be honest, I was a little hesitant. The film did not need a salwar- kameez girl.
But Adi pushed me into meeting her and once I did, I knew I had found my Bulbul
( the name of Anoushka’s character in Badmaash Company ),” says Parmeet.
The film being made under YRF banner is slated to release this May.
Freida Pinto - Too busy to attend Cannes?
Her debut with Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ opened her doors for Hollywood and since then there has been no looking back for Freida Pinto. So busy is the girl these days that she has decided to give a miss to the prestigious 63rd Cannes International Film Festival which will commence on May 12.
Freida was set to walk the red carpet here along with her co-stars of ‘You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger’, directed by Woody Allen but since she is stuck up with the shooting of ‘Immortals’ in Canada, she will not be able to make it.
Meanwhile, Freida Pinto’s lover Dev Patel feels that Freida would be a definite treat if she gets an opportunity to play the Bond girl as had been rumored sometime back.
“She is stunning. There have been rumors about her being a Bond girl on the next film. I would love her to get the role, she’d be amazing,” Patel was quoted as saying.
However, Patel is not sure that he would be apt to play Pinto’s on-screen lover in this spy series. “I’m not sure I could ever play 007 though. I’m too much of a wimp,” laughs off Patel.
Kareena Kapoor to go negative in ‘Agent Vinod’
Post ‘Tashan’ and ‘Kurbaan’, the Saifeena couple is geared up for their next project under Saif’s home production titled ‘Agent Vinod’. The movie is a spy thriller and has both Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor playing secret agents. The twist her is that Kareena’s character holds a greyer shade this time.
This slick thriller is directed by Sriram Raghvan and the story portrays a war-like situation in Asia where Bebo works with corporate biggies who hope to cash in on the state of affairs. It later comes out that she is a spy of the Pakistani Government in the end. Kareena will also sport five different looks in the movie using the same prosthetics which gave the different looks to Hrithik in ‘Dhoom 2’.
Kareena had a mixed year in 2009 with two flops as ‘Main aur Mrs. Khanna’ and ‘Kurbaan’ and then the mega blockbuster opposite Aamir Khan in ‘3 Idiots’.
What 2010 has in store for her, it is yet to be seen……
