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 two have acted together in Milan Lutharia’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’ where they got cozy in one of the song of the film but in ‘Informer’ they have to better that performance.

It is revealed by sources that Prachi will go an immense makeover for the role, though there is no official information as film’s co-producer Fox Star is keeping things under wraps.

A source told a leading Tabloid, “The seeds of her transformation were planted in OUATIM, where she moved out of her comfort zone and did love-making sequences with Emraan.

Now, with him as her co-star again, she will completely discard her sedate coy desi miss-won’t-kiss image and emerge as the new femme-fatale in tinsel town.”

Although, Prachi has already said that she do not have a ‘Kiss’ clause in her contracts and she has already refused to do so, first in ‘OUATIM’ and Shrishti Arya’s next where she had to kiss John Abraham.

Let see, when Prachi’s ‘Kiss ka Kissa’ will end!

The film which is based on the 80’s South Indian siren ‘Silk Smitha’ has started gathering too much headlines as the film features Emraan Hashmi, Tusshar Kapoor, Vidya Balan and Naseeruddin Shah. To keep the essence and freshness of the character Ekta took this step and even asked the visitors to come sans mobile phones.

Ekta Kapoor told TOI when asked about the ban, “Every actor in the film will essay the role of an individual from the South Indian film industry. Tusshar will play a struggling writer while Naseer will essay the character of a grown up actor who works in children’s films in the eighties.

This is the first time a Hindi film will depict the South Indian cine industry. There are different colours to each character and everyone has a specific look. The cell phones on the sets can ruin everything for us.”

“We keep on hearing of incidents about looks being revealed and I don’t want that for my film. I want to bring out every look in the proper way,” added Ekta.

She revealed the looks of the actors, “The men in my film are not going to look hot – Naseerbhai will be seen wearing wigs. I am dreading that he might end up looking scary. I don’t want the characters to look like caricatures.”

“Vidya, however, will be seen in revealing clothes. She has three or four different looks in the film,” she added, about the female lead in Dirty Picture.

Is there anyone out to reveal the ‘Dirty Picture’??

The sequel has many intimate and dare-bare scenes. “Emraan and Jacqueline got along very well, too,” says director Mohit Suri.

If we go by what director says, I can see many of us just turning their postures.

However, the film doesn’t have ‘Mallika Sherawat’ who we all know is a credible character for sensuous movies is replaced by Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez and mind you she carries a lot of essence.

The sequel of the film will be directed by Milan Lutharia itself. The first installment of the movie emphasized on the life of Haji Mastan and his rivalry with Dawood Ibrahim, where Haji Mastan dies in the end. Whereas, the sequel will entirely draw attention towards the rise of Dawood in Mumbai Underworld. The film is going to be a true action packed thriller.

Since, none of the lead actors from the original film are working in the sequel, its anticipated that the film will see some fresh and happening story altogether. Ekta Kapoor is keen on making the film on the basis of a complete new script, with no relation to the first film. The search is on for the film’s second lead, who could play Akshay’s rival in the movie.

We hope, Akki gets his timing right in dhishoom dhishoom!

While the movie buffs across the globe will fix their eyes to their television sets, newspapers and internet on February 27, 2011 to find out the winner of the Academy Awards 2011, an honor which an actor dreams as soon as he steps into the world of entertainment – Hollywood. Oscar Awards is no less than an honor and prestige for an actor in his/her career; it is so big that even the nominations fills an actor with the mist.

However, the question is not how fair or unfair the Hollywood awards are, but we are looking into the Bollywood awards with the perspective that how much an actor, director and technical department of our industry feel [honored or dishonored] with the awards bollywood strangely offers for the brilliant acting or films of the year, which on any scale discredits the performance to attendance.

Many bollywood actors in the past just shook away the idea of attending a bollywood award events like, Filmfare, Screen Awards, Stardust Awards, Apsara Awards and many others which are more or less has become a backstage fixing.

Aamir Khan, one of the most successful actors in Bollywood has long time back declined attending these awards claiming they are no more than a pre-planned listing where lobbying matters than the performance.

Recently, few other actors have joined Aamir by terming these awards as an exercise depending on the attendance.  “Bahut baar aisa hua ki award function mein pehle bol dete hain, aap award function mein aao to aapko award diya jayega”, (It happens many time that you are asked that if you attend the function, you will get the award), said Madhur Bhandarkar, when he was asked about the award nights.

The National Award winner director gets voice in another National Award winner actor Ajay Devgan who also said, “If you attend the awards you get the awards”.

You can easily make out why these actors and directors are lambasting these events when you go through the nominations where even for the ‘Best Film’ awards they have at least three kinds of categories which make it a laughable material. In the words of Emraan Hashmi, “If you see any award ceremony, they are pleasing everyone. There are three categories for every actor… it’s ridiculous… and three awards given to music. I really don’t want to be part of the circus. The whole industry goes and claps for it but I don’t want to be part of it”.

There is no doubt that Bollywood awards are more or less influenced by some actors – biggies – like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan to name a few, else Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Zee Cine special jury award for ‘Guzaarish’) and SRK got Best Actor award for My Name is Khan, knowing the actor’s performance could have easily beaten by Hrithik Roshan (Guzaarish).

Now you have to think twice before clapping while watching a bollywood award ceremony.

After seven years Jacqueline Fernandez, a Sri Lankan actress who earlier featured in two flops ‘Aladdin’ and ‘Jaane Kahaan Se Aayi Hai’ is ready to set the silver screen on fire in her upcoming sequel of ‘Murder’ – Murder 2.

The film is said to drive male testosterone to a new level, with the first image of Jacqueline out in open everyone is biting his nails. The Sri Lankan beauty looks matching up with the ‘Bong’ girl Bipasha of ‘Jism’ in the picture, may be you will find her surpassing Bipasha’s sensuality, over driving the male libido.

The film’s cast is different than the ‘Murder’ but what hasn’t been changed is the male actor Emraan Hashmi, may be ‘Bhatt’ camp can’t risk on anyone else to display ‘love making’ and ‘erotic’ scenes than Hashmi who has perfected this art.

Murder 2 is based on the Nithari killings in Noida and is in production stage. We expect Murder2 to make sense in sensuality!
