As soon as rumors reached to Darbar’s ears he turned his ways and now says, he is ready to apologize to the Oscars.

The musician had indicted Rahman, saying that the maestro has paid for the awards which he received in 2008 for Best Original Score and Best Original Song in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire.

Following which Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are rumored of proceeding to sue Darbar.

Now Darbar says, he has nothing against Academy Awards but he wanted to wake up his friend Rahman for churning out inferior music in the last one year. Darbar should look into himself for the same, what music he has composed so far in his career?

Darbar said in a leading tabloid, “I am grateful that I have been respected in the industry for my work. I did say some things about Rahman, because as a friend I want to jolt him out of his reverie and start giving good music.

I chose a public platform to do it, because he wouldn’t listen to me otherwise. I have nothing against the Oscars.

It is the most respected award, the whole world acknowledges it, and I do, too. If any of them (Academy) are hurt by my comments, I apologise to them.”

It seems Darbar has realized that this is hurting his reputation and he might run out of the work for his indecent comments over fellow musician, who everyone respects.

“I am not scared. The truth is, I realise that those people who respected me for my work, might misunderstand me and think I am baddimag (arrogant person).

Also, the fact is, I can have nothing against the Oscar panel or those behind the awards. My issue was with Rahman and I guess he’s got the message by now,” Darbar added.

You know Mr. Ismail Darbar who is arrogant, isn’t it?

It looks surprising for a film which has so much ‘skin show’ and ‘Love Making scenes’ Censor has only found a name ‘Darzi’ to change before they OK the film. Bhindi Bazar Inc. is a film based on the underbelly crime in the by-lanes of Mumbai’s chaotic street Bhindi Bazar and it is obvious ‘Darzi’ is common name at the place.

Karan Arora, the producer of the film has taken aback by the order of the censor board, “My film has a lot of very strong language. I had gone prepared with alternatives if the need be, or even take beeps instead of cuts. But to be asked to remove a character’s name… I was surprised!”

The ‘Darzi’ character in the film is played by debutant actor Gautam Sharma, the censor do not permit a mention of a community or its profession. A lot of agitation happened when SRK’s Billoo Barber made its way and finally they had to drop the ‘barber’ from the title.

Producer added, “The name had a context and a history, and it has been explained many times in the film.

So I had to not just alter the name but also the reason why he was called that. You see Darzi wants to be a fashion designer, which his friends in the chawl didn’t understand. So they called him Darzi.”

Now, the directors and producer must go to censor before starting their film for script approval, so that no ‘panga’ happens over ‘Darzi’ and ‘Barber’.

A leading daily quoted a source, “”AB Jr and JA have been in talks to come out with a series of films in different genres to take their Dostana a step further. While Tarun Mansukhani will bring out the film’s sequel, the two actors are very excited about branding their pair. Some people even felt that the men shared more chemistry on screen together than they did with lead actress Priyanka Chopra.

Source added, “Both actors get along extremely well. AB Jr has mentioned in interviews that wife Aishwarya and John are his favourite co-stars. Last year, at an award event when he was absent, Abhi asked Aish and John to jointly collect the award.”

It seems we are very soon having some male chemistry on screen. John is single but Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would not appreciate her hubby becoming popular as a ‘Gay’ man.

The films will be produced by their individual production houses jointly, “The films will be launched next year. The duo plan to approach big directors to helm their films. Currently, they have been going through various scripts to finalise some projects. They don’t just want to do romcoms. From niche films to cop dramas, everything’s on the agenda.”

John has confirmed the news by saying, “Yes, Abhishek and I have been in talks to bring out a series of films with us starring in it. All films will be of different genres. It’s our way of taking the chemistry we share on screen forward. Abhishek is a wonderful guy and I’m very protective and fond of him. I don’t like it if people criticise him in front of me. I tell them not to do it.”

Now let see how two expressionless actors express their skills on screen!

When there are three ladies to romance with, no one will suit best than Emraan Hashmi for the role. The actor is roped for the film. It will be his first with Vishal who has a habit of having a good punch at the box-office.

An insider told Mumbai Mirror, “It is going to be a thriller with super natural elements in it. It’s a new genre for Indian cinema. The interesting part is that Abhishek Chaubey has also signed on as the creative producer for the film. And with Vishal, the film is bound to be a musical.”

The ladies are yet to be decided. It was rumored that Rani Mukherjee will play one of the leading character of the film but we have heard the ‘Bong’ girl is actually said ‘No’, petrified by the title.

While Ekta told the tabloid, “When contacted, Ekta confirmed the same and added, “Yes, Vishal and I are planning a drama with a breakthrough genre.

It will be replete with thrills, chartbusting music and supernatural elements. Three young and happening girls will be cast opposite Emraan.”

The show is named ‘Simi Selects India’s Most Desirable’ which opens with Casanova Kapoor as her first guest to the show.

In her earlier show too celebrities have opened their heart to the lady and hopefully she has got to know what beats inside Ranbir’s heart in the show. The youngest Kapoor told that he is ‘Mumma’s boy’.

The show will also have a talk with Ranbir’s mother Neetu Singh as well as Ranbir painting for charity at the end of the show.

Let say, the show must go on!

A recent survey conducted by the glossy lifestyle magazine FHM found out that Kat’s average rating goes higher than cricket star Sachin Tendulkar, who is often called ‘God’ of cricket in India.

The sexy and gorgeous ‘Sheila’ topped it again for the coveted title ‘World’s Most Sexiest Woman’ dethroning Deepika Padukone who was titled the same in 2010. The FHM Sexiest Women poll is purely based on online polls and SMSes. This year the poll saw over 35,000 entries.

The sexy lady, when TOI tried to get her reaction responded smilingly, “If somebody is graciously giving me something why should I refuse it.”

Katrina is the only woman in the world across 28 editions of the polls conducted by FHM who won the Sexiest Woman title three times in the last 17 years, says FHM India’s Executive Editor, Kabeer Sharma.

It is always natural beauty which wins you laurels, preserve it!

MF Husain also directed a few films featuring Madhuri Dixit, who he often described as his muse.

The controversial painter has moved out of India in 2006 after a series of legal cases and death threats from Hindu organizations. He later accepted the citizenship of Qatar.

It is said that the custom personnel have also confiscated her designer sunglasses, shoes, purses and handbag.

A source told to a leading tabloid, “She had especially picked up these accessories as part of her styling for Joker and Hum Tum Aur Shabana for which she is shooting presently.”

Adds the source, “After submitting all the paperwork and waiting for a while, she realised that things were not moving ahead.

She then outsourced the stuff immediately. She found things similar to what she had purchased for her shoot schedules.”

Neither Minissha’s spokesperson has anything to say in the matter nor do custom officials want to state anything.
