Bollywood's stammering heroes
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Not every character in a movie has to possess the eloquence of Amitabh Bachchan. Some make a mark by doing the exact opposite.
While not all may have achieved the iconic status of Shah Rukh Khan's K-k-kiran, there's been no dearth of attempts. Take a look:
Shahid Kapoor, Kaminey
Post-Omkara, director Vishal Bharadwaj is back with yet another unconventional action-packed tale of twin brothers, played by Shahid Kapur. One of whom has speech issues.
The other, ahem, lisps. After playing it cute in rom-coms like Jab We Met and Kismat Konnection, Shahid goes for a pumped-up physique, tanned, dishevelled appearance and wildly irregular dubbing deal for his latest.

Kareena - The most powerful actress!!
There was never a doubt that Kareena was the most talented and most powerful actress in the industry. Now it's certainly proved that she is the most powerful actress in the industry with her induction in the international leading magzines power list for 2009. Kareena is the only women in the male dominated list; this itself proves her strong character to be the best. The day wont be far when she would be the top of the power list. This domination of Kareena itself sets the brand Bebo apart and the highest paid actress deserves every appreciation which comes her way. The actress has successfully carved an identity in the male dominated industry. The highest paid actress today commands a price that only top production banners and corporates can afford. The 10th rank will surely turn her rival green with envy.
Kareena is also high on her movie which would be hitting the screen this year. Sources close to her say that, "Kareena feels very obliged to be present amongst the greats of the film industry and it's her sheer hard work which has bought her till here."
Kangana Ranaut's birthday bash

Deepika's dream role
Monday, March 23, 2009
Deepika Padukone has had a dream-run in Bollywood with just three releases, but the model-turned-actress says her dream is to play the elegant Audrey Hepburn, her style icon.
'I would like to play Audrey Hepburn, my style icon, in movies like 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' or 'Roman Holiday',' Deepika told IANS on the sidelines of the Wills India Fashion Week (WIFW) Saturday, where she walked the ramp for Ranna Gill and Rina Dhaka's collections sponsored by luxury brand Fiama Di Wills.
Aishwarya gets candid
Right after his directorial debut with children's film 'Makdee', Vishal had offered Aishwarya a film called 'Timbuctoo', but it got shelved.
The 'super-busy' star is also looking forward to working with Akshay Kumar after a long time in Vipul Shah's next movie.
'It's something that Vipul, Akshay and I haven't done before. The last time Akshay and I came together in 'Khakee' we played almost antagonists. This time we'll hopefully play a more compatible couple,' Aishwarya laughed.
The former Miss World has something unique to say about each movie and filmmaker.
'Ritu-da and I have agreed to work together again after 'Chokher Bali' and 'Raincoat' in Bengali and Hindi respectively. Our next film together is a bilingual. And very challenging,' said Aishwarya.
Aishwarya Rai sure has a crowded year ahead, having signed movies with filmmakers Vishal Bhardwaj, Rituparno Ghosh, Abhinay Deo and Vipul Shah. And the actress says each of these films is equally challenging and 'special' to her.
