If there is one actor who has continued to make smart choices when it comes to his acting assignments over the last three decades, it is Anil Kapoor. Following the adage of 'character comes first and then the billing as a lead or supporting hero', Anil Kapoor has literally seen it and done all. Still, one can't miss the vigour in him when it comes to his love for movies, whether in front of behind the camera. On the eve of release of No Problem , a film that sees him playing the dual role of an actor as well as a producer, Anil Kapoor gets chatting with Joginder Tuteja. It is good to see the momentum building up in a gradual manner, especially over last couple of weeks since the new promos came out and ' Mast Punjabi ' turned into a hit song. I am not surprised with that. This was always a part of the strategy to break newer promos on screen every week and then unveil some of the terrific songs that we had in our kitty. We just wanted to build the

Ranveer and I got a wonderful starting point even before we kick started a formal conversation. In his debut film Band Baaja Baaraat , he is shown as a student of the same college from which I had actually graduated a decade and a half back. With Delhi University as the backdrop for the film and talks veering towards the college canteen, lovers point, the brick red building and a sprawling garden at the very entrance, it was one nostalgic conversation for sure. Bread pakode ki kasam! The film is set in Delhi. I guess this pretty much compliments the kind of flavour that the film boasts of, right? Yes, the film starts off in Delhi University where these characters meet. It was fabulous to be actually getting into that zone because the way these characters speak the kind of places where they hang out, an overall ambience - it all adds up to the distinct flavour of Delhi. Also, another wonderful part about the film is that Delhi has never ever been shot like this before.

With Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Tees Maar Khan slated to release this Friday, fans can only ponder over which film would rip the box-office open this week. So would Ajay's swagger attract spectators again with him having another winning streak, or will Katrina shine in all her glory and sway the audiences with her youthfulness? Besides releasing on the same day, the films have something else in common, they both have garnered their fair share of controversies, the latest being the animation hybrid Toonpur Ka Superrhero . The first controversy to hit TKS was that the makers on Ra. One claimed that apparently both the films have the same plot, Kireet Khurana director of the film said, "It's possible that they might have a similar story, I don't know what Shah Rukh's script is about but our script is not inspired by anyone, it's an original script." The second argument to hit the makers of TKS is regarding Guppy, one of the ch

They say that 'Age is just a number'. This saying is very much true in the case of Dr. Asthana aka Veeru Sahastrabudhhe aka the multi talented Boman Irani. He may have entered the film industry a bit late in his life but to say that he took it by storm would be an understatement. Boman Irani is the highly loved actor of Indian cinema whose every performance is like a work of art. So convincingly he performs his roles that it's hard to figure if he moulded into the character or whether the character is a part of him. After having 'been there, done that', Boman has now been signed up as the brand ambassador of Kent RO water purifiers, so informs the confirmed sources of Bollywood Hungama . With this, Boman joins the likes of Kent's already existing brand ambassadors, viz., Hema Malini, Esha Deol and Aahana Deol.

Saif Ali Khan has been associated with brands like Taj Mahal Tea, Metro Shoes, OCM suitings, Seagrams, Lays, Airtel, Head N Shoulders...and so on. Adding yet another name to his brand endorsement list is 'Everyuth Menz', reports Bollywood Hungama 's confirmed source. The official announcement of the same is awaited.

Years ago, Vashu Bhagnani had released his film BIWI NO. 1 during World Cup cricket matches. At that point of time, I distinctly remember, people had scoffed at Vashu, calling him overconfident and brash. But Vashu's calculations proved right as BIWI NO. 1 withstood the tough competition from cricket matches and emerged victorious at the box-office. In fact, back then, BIWI NO. 1 set new records at practically every centre, quashing the myth that films can't withstand the tough competition from cricket. The enterprising film-maker has now decided to pitch his next film FALTU during the cricket matches - during the peak of World Cup fever, next year. Vashu has confirmed 1 April as the release date of FALTU... and this is no April Fool joke. "I have tremendous confidence in my film. It has shaped up exceedingly well," Vashu informs me. But won't the clash with crucial cricket matches affect the business of his film? "We will try to

Have Salman Khan and Farah Khan joined hands for a project? Is Farah directing Salman in a film that will be jointly produced by Farah and Salman's production companies? That's the latest gupshup in tinsel town. The news gains credence because Salman and Farah have been bonding like never before. Of course, they have always been thick friends, but their friendship has only cemented since the past few months. "Yes, I've heard this one, but the truth is, I am still undecided about my next project. I want to go on a vacation once TEES MAAR KHAN releases. The script I am working on is partly ready, but the question of casting anyone doesn't arise till the writing is complete," Farah clarifies. It would be interesting to see the Queen of Masses directing the King of Masses, wot say?

Celebs across the globe love to tweet the pics of their near and dear ones, the places they visit, the celebrations they hold/attend... Farah Khan loves to tweet what's on her mind, besides tweeting pics of her new film TEES MAAR KHAN . But a pic of her hands, tweeted by her, caught my attention instantly. Well, Farah wasn't highlighting a new shade of nail polish, but was vocal that she had chewed her nails in anxiety and nervousness before the release of her new movie TEES MAAR KHAN. So much so that the nails had almost disappeared from her hands and what remained was more of flesh, less of nails. Almost everyone - sorry, just about everyone - gets those pre-release jitters and is nervous as hell prior to the release of their film. The stakes are high, their reputation is at stake, the world is awaiting the outcome to their film... I've often heard people say that they lose appetite and feel insomniac as well. Says Farah, "I wasn't c
