Bollywood talent exceptional Shabana Azmi has always been closely associated with charitable and social work and this time too she along with her godchild Namrata Goyal has once again put together a fund-raising fashion show. Called ‘Mijwan-Sonnets in Fabric’, this is a fashion show with a difference whereby the funds collected will be utilized for the empowerment of the girl child in rural India. The fashion show scheduled to take place in Mumbai on Jan 23 is likely to witness a lot of Bollywood bigwigs who will be participating and walking the ramp for this noble cause. Some of the big names who have confirmed their presence include Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar, Tusshar Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, Shilpa Shetty, Sushmita Sen, Amrita Rao, Anushka Sharma, Celina Jaitley, Dia Mirza, Kunal Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lara Dutta, Monikangana, Neha Dhupia, Prateik Babbar, Raima Sen, Ranveer Singh, Rohit Roy, Sameera Reddy, Sandhya Mridul and Shazahn Padamsee.

Karan Johar's next directorial venture would be 'Student of the Year'. However just before this announcement was made, there was speculation in the air that his movie was supposed to be titled - hold your breath- 'A for Apple, B for Boy, C for Cat'. "Omigawd, were people really speculating that to be the title of my next movie," said KJo in disbelief when told about the story which had made the rounds. On being told that this was indeed the case, he laughed uproariously for full one minute before catching hold of his breath. "Puhleeze, there have been rumours around my films and there would be rumours in months to come as well. But this one is the weirdest of all. Come on, 'A for Apple...'? They can't be serious. Any more of this and K for Karan will definitely go for a toss", he gets cracking here. Now a rumour like this could possibly have been started by one of those overzealous media types who wanted KJo to blurt out

Arjun Rampal could well have a 'fighting 2011' in store for him. That's because amongst a number of films that he plans to kick start in the New Year, one of them which holds a special place in his heart is a war film. Though Arjun is yet to sign on the dotted line, chances are bright that 'war movie' genre would be a new addition in Arjun's repertoire. Confirms Arjun, "Yes, there is an interesting war movie that I am contemplating to kick start this year. I have never done a film belonging to this genre before and the script which I am going through is pretty exciting." In his decade long career so far, Arjun has done action movies like 'Asambhav', 'Elaan', 'Ek Ajnabee' and 'Don - The Chase Begins Again'. In fact his next release 'Ra. 1' is a hardcore action film as well. However a war film has eluded him so far in his 25 odd film career so far. "What makes this script special is the fact

If sources are to be believed, the producer of ‘Dabangg’ is making hey while his superstar brother Salman shines. A close hand reveals that Arbaaz who gave the year’s biggest blockbuster ‘Dabangg’ is planning a 50+ crore office in Mumbai near Yash Raj Studios. The sources say that the office will be huge and extraordinary by any standards….. Well there’s no confirmation from the actor producer Arbaaz but if we look at the astonishing offers ‘Dabangg2’ is receiving it could be a possibility. The latest on this is, a 110 crore offer has been turned down citing the reason that the script for the sequel is getting its proper shape.. (or price we say).. Anyways it’s great for Arbaaz and the muscle man Salman and his family, you guys deserve the best we say…

'No One Killed Jessica' has done well at the box office and as predicted in last week's column, it has broken the First Friday jinx. Though for years there hasn't been a single film which has been a success when released in the first Friday of the year, 'No One Killed Jessica' has turned around the fortunes. The film managed around 13 crores in the first weekend itself, hence finding itself in a safe zone right away. Boasting of a kind of start which is on par with Rani's last biggie 'Dil Bole Hadippa' and better than Vidya Balan's previous release 'Ishqiya', 'No One Killed Jessica' has shown a constant rise at the box office. It was always going to be a 50% kind of opening for this 'fact and fiction' hybrid drama and this is how the box office behaved on the opening Friday as well with increase in occupancy with every passing day. The other three releases of the week - 'Ashoka The Hero', 'Impatie

In his forthcoming film ‘Joker’, Khiladi Kumar and comedy king Akshay has got a fellow partner who is equally jovial and witty in tickling funny ribs like the actor. He’s Shreyas Talpade…! Yeah, the amcha mulga Shreyas has been recently brought on board by the director-producer Shirish Kunder. Interestingly, Shreyas will feature as Akki’s brother. Quoted Kunder on his social networking sites, "Shreyas Talpade has been cast as the second male lead in 'Joker'. He plays Akshay Kumar's brother in the film." 'Joker' is a 3D film and is being jointly produced by Kunder and Farah Khan's banner Three's Company and Akshay Kumar's Hari Om Entertainment Company. Adding further, Kunder even asked his followers to suggest a heroine to cast opposite Shreyas. Well folks, do you have any suggestions? Kaun Banegi Shreyas Ki Kudi?

OMG (Oh My God)…. Tinsel town stalwarts like Shahrukh Khan, Salman and Big B are in danger and it can cost their lives. Yes… what we are saying is true, B-town celebrities are threatened and are in danger of losing their life… Wanna know who’s giving them threats….. Well it’s not the underworld but their own world, their own people, their own admirers... Got it…? Or still guessing…? Well it’s the networking craze which has spread like an epidemic in the world where the omnipotent stars of cinema had become omnipresent in twitter, Facebook, blogs and all those addas.. ‘big’ or small. Celebrities post their updates on those networking sites like twitter, Facebook which gives opportunity for anyone to get famous by typing 140 characters. Even those who don’t figure on Twitter, Facebook etc are used by addicts of this disease called networking which is getting contagious day by day. We are saying this because veteran Bollywood legend Shashi  Kapoor has fallen prey to this g

After working in multiple films right through 2010, Tusshar Kapoor is now mighty excited about what 2011 has in store for him. Though in 2009 he had just one release to his name in the form of 'Life Partner', it was still an average success. However 2010 much more than compensated for it with 'Golmaal Returns' turning out to be a major success. Tusshar would now have a luxury of plenty this year with as many as 3-4 releases lined up. No wonder, Tusshar is keeping his fingers crossed. "I am extremely happy that I am doing exactly the kind of films that I always wanted to do", says Tusshar in a gleeful tone, "'Golmaal 3' has done marvellous business. It was my first film to cross the 100 crores mark. Now I am kicked about my upcoming films as well." While his 'Golmaal 3' stayed on to be the second biggest success of the year after 'Dabangg', he also finished shooting for 'Shorr', 'Run Bhola Run' an

Speaking to reporters on his birthday he shared, "I never thought in my wildest of dreams that there will be a time in my life when I'll be unveiling my own statue at the Madame Tussauds. I remember once I've stood there in the line for three hours when I was a 12-year-old to see the museum,". Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan have already secured their place in the London museum. Hrithik said that he looks at this achievement as a motivator and adds “It's going to be something that will motivate me when I'm tired.

Abhishek's strong sullen silent and songless cop's character in Rohan Sippy's Dum Maaro Dum just got itself a song. And the music composer Pritam is working overnight to get the song ready. Abhishek's character of the no-nonsense cop in Dum Maaro Dum is based entirely on his Pa the Big B's reticent no-nonsense cop's act in Prakash Mehra's Zanjeer . Says a source, "It was felt that Abhishek's character was getting too serious. It needed to be lightened up. So the director Rohan Sippy decided to shoot a song with Abhishek." When contacted the film's music composer Pritam Chakraborty admits he has been asked to add a song for Abhishek in Dum Maaro Dum . "Abhishek won't be lip-syncing the track. But it will be his song. It will come on every time Abhishek comes on screen. The song will have the mellow subtle sober and soft, to go with Abhishek's subdued character." Apparently, there was a big debate
