Abhishek Bachchan and gorgeous wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are in high-demand these days. Producers flock in herds with scripts in hand to cast Bollywood�s most popular couple in their movie.

Sources say that a very reputed production house has come up with the idea of making a period flick on Shah Jahan and Mumtaz and they are hell bent on casting Abhishek and Aishwarya only for the role.

Aishwarya Rai was the obvious choice for Mumtaz because the source at the production house claims that she is �flawless beauty� just like Mumtaz who could inspire her lover to build the magnificent Taj Mahal in her memory. And since Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai make a very popular and adored couple off-screen they thought they would cash in on their chemistry.

I wonder if that would be a good idea� Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai haven�t been very impressive lovers on screen.

Katrina Kaif

Salman Khan is genuinely in love with Katrina Kaif, as he doesn’t like romancing his girl on the screen so that their respect and dignity is not lost in the eyes of the viewers.

He says, “For the first time, in ‘Yuvraj’ we have been paired as a romantic lead. However, I feel awkward. Besides, the audience would feel that the real life girlfriend-boyfriend story is being played on the screen.”

“Also, I want the audience to give our pair the respect and dignity it deserves,” he adds.

Well those are some good thoughts coming from Sallu bhai.

Tanushree doing a movie with a lead role that doesn�t star Emraan Hashmi! The movie is “Risk” by Vishram Sawant where she will be seen opposite the modern angry young man Randeep Hooda.

Tanushree Dutta previous movies include Aashiq Banaya Aapne where she was paired against Emraan Hashmi and Chocolate. Both the movies had moderate success at box office and the credit for this goes to Himesh Reshammiya and Pritam.

She was last seen in 36 China Town’ in which she had a song guest appearance ‘Jab Kabhi’. It will be great to watch the new cinematic experience of Tanushree and how she manages against Hooda.

Emraan Hashmi is all set to break the hearts of many a female fans with the announcement of his marriage plans. He is planning to wed his longtime girlfriend and fianc� Parveen on December 14th. Do we already hear girls singing ‘Agar tum mil jao, zamana chodh denge hum…’Meanwhile Emraan is busy promoting his movie Dil Diya Hai. Apparently apna Emmu wants to apologise to all his female fans for what he has done in Dil Diya Hai and the type of language he has used in the film.

Mukesh Bhatt’s forthcoming movie Jannat, has Emraan Hashmi and debutante Sonal Chauhan in the main lead. The director of the movie is Kunal Deshmukh and Sayeed Quadri has written the lyrics of the songs. Jannat’s album has 8 melodious tracks, which are composed by Pritam.

Pritam has already revealed that the tunes for the songs are lifted, ” My songs in Mukesh Bhatt�s forthcoming film, Jannat, which I had claimed were completely original are no longer so. Some parts of the soundtrack now have borrowed sounds� quipped Pritam.

The album hits of with ‘ Zara Sa’ a romantic song sung by KK, which is very well composed and sung. The song is surely going to be a chartbuster and would be amongst the top songs of the year 2008. Zara Sa Club mix sung by KK is a faster version of Zara Sa and becomes foot tapping disco material, but retains the charm of the original slow track.
‘Judai’ follows which is based on 80’s hit song ‘ Lambi Judai ‘, Kamran Ahmed is the lyricist as well as the male singer of the song, Richa Sharma renders the female voice. ‘Judai’ is remixed into ‘ Judai Kilogram mix� where additional beats are added to the song, making it more thumping. Richa Sharma weaves her magic again with ‘ Lambi Judai ‘ and gives a fresh touch to the song, which will surely make you hum it.

Pritam again gets inspired by Pakistan Sufi pop in ‘Haan Tu�, in typical Pakistani style, the songs has long duration of music beats (tabla beats) with less lyrics, another good song in the album. ‘Door Naa Ja’ is another splendid love song, which can be dedicated to a loved one. Sung by Rana Mazumdar and lyrics are rendered by Sayeed Quadri. The title track of the album is ‘Jannat Jahan’ and is sung by Rupam Islam and written by Neelesh Mishra, the song adds the rocky touch to the album, with its rock beats and energy.

The music album of Jannat has songs from every music genre, ranging from love, rock, sufi pop and sad.

Do listen to Zara Sa guys, it is ‘Kya Mujhe pyaar hai’ of this year

At least that’s what the figure says. While the big budget movies like Tashan and Bhootnath couldn�t create much magic on screen, the audience surely are left mesmerized by this not-so-big-budget movie. The Emraan Hashmi and Sonal Chauhan starrer movie has earned the bucks at the box office just as the Bhatt’s had expected.

�Yes, that�s true. Whether it is A, B or C center, Jannat has fetched a bumper response all over. At Vishesh Films, we are proud to have made a film which boasts of content, style, messaging and mainstream ingredients coming together. Success of Jannat has reaffirmed our belief to tell a new story with every film of ours,�

says Mahesh Bhatt with a swelled chest.

�And to think about it, no other movie was able to make a dent at the box office, let alone being a super success. What Yash Raj Films-Akshay Kumar (Tashan) and Amitabh Bachchan-Shah Rukh Khan (Bhoothnath) couldn�t do, Vishesh Films-Emraan Hashmi (Jannat) has done. And we are not merely talking in thin air here; we are talking about numbers that we have received.� is what he adds with confidence

Forbes has made Aishwarya Rai bigger than the Khans. It has listed her as India’s most bankable star in Hollywood, pushing down the Khans of Bollywood in the ratings of the best bet for a film’s financial success.

She’s ranked highest among all Indian actors which also make her the only female actor from the country to be a part of the elite group.

There are five other actors in the new Forbes list of Hollywood’s Most Valuable Actors. Others in the list compiled by the American business magazine are Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Irrfan Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

She’s in the 387th position in the global list of as many as 1,411 actors from across the world and is ranked highest among all Indian actors. Aamir is ranked highest at 540th in the global list followed by Shah Rukh (735), Salman (753), Irrfan (825) and Hrithik (1,059).

Indian American actor Kal Penn who stared as actress Tabu’s son in ‘The Namesake’ has been listed at the 476th position.

So that makes his rank higher than all the Bollywood actors, except Aishwarya Rai, who stars in the new Hollywood venture ‘The Pink Panther 2′.

According to Forbes the global list, topped by Hollywood actor Will Smith, is based on the bankability of actors around the world as voted by members of the global entertainment industry. Smith is the only one who gets a ten-on-ten score and is followed by four Hollywood stars — Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Angelina Jolie — sharing the second position followed by Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Denzel Washington, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson in the top 10.

He’s B-town’s favorite pin up boy and is one the fittest men out here.

So it’s nothing short of a surprise if he fights the extra kilos.

But that’s the truth as he’s been asked to reduce his waistline for a commercial.

Gosh…loads of strange things happen in the world of showbiz.

Reportedly the ad makers of a clothing line which Hrithik endorses wanted the super star to look fitter and best for an upcoming commercial that’s aimed at the youth.

They are supposedly perfectionists and they went ahead and asked him to get leaner by a few inches and even shed the muscular look which he’s sporting for his home production ‘Kites’ .

The buzz is that Hrithik’s dad Rakesh Roshan was not in favour of his son losing any muscle as that extra lean look wouldn’t have suited Hrithik’s character in the upcoming Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. He’s about to shoot for that film and papa Roshan knows the best.

But the very professional actor decided to listen to his heart and the ad filmmaker and shed some weight. He actually ended up reducing his waist from 30 inches to 28 inches for the shoot.

Now that’s called dedication. Hrithik sure has loads of it. No wonder he’s one of the biggies out here.
