Ever since Darsheel Safary became the youngest star of Bollywood to get nominated for the best actor award, there has been much speculation about which film he would do next. What's more, his going price is apparently Rs.75 lakhs (7.5 million)!
After the release of 'Taare Zameen Par', the young actor's parents were very sure that the boy would now concentrate on his studies and go back to his normal life. But then the offers got more and more lucrative.
And one tempting offer came to work with Sanjay Dutt. To be produced by Suniel Shetty's Popcorn Entertainment, the film proposes to bring Sanjay and Darsheel together in the film titled 'Dedh' (one-and-a-half). The comedy is to be directed by Aswani Dheer, who made 'One Two Three'.
"Sanjay is final for the project. We need to work out the dates. As for the boy, yes we do want Darsheel and are trying for him. Let's see," Dheer told us.
Said an inside source: "See, the Sanjay Dutt film with another kid is just one more film. But Sanjay and Darsheel - that rocks!"

the Sanjay Dutt film with another kid
Kajol denied the offer of Kamal Haasan
The first thing Kajol has demanded is that she would not come to any location outside of India as she has to take care of her daughter. Another important condition the actress has voiced is that she should be allowed to go home daily.
Following this, sources say Kamal is in a dilemma whether to hire Kajol for the project or not. According to them some of the scenes of 'Marmayogi' are to be shot at Switzerland.
shilpa shetty wants to focus more on Hindi films
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty says she has turned down a lot of international projects as she wants to focus more on Hindi films.
I refused Hollywood to do Bollywood: Shilpa Shetty
"I have left a lot of international projects to come back to Hindi films. Someone told me I was already out of sight and I did not want to be out of mind too. I want a good end product - a good Hindi film made in India," said Shilpa on the sidelines of an event.
Shilpa also said she has not completely dropped the idea of working in the West.
"If the prospects are lucrative enough in the West, I'll definitely go there. I have an international project, but it is still in the process of scripting," informed the actress.
Recollecting her win on Britain's reality show 'Celebrity Big Brother', she said: "I think 'Big Brother' has been a boon in disguise for not only me but many Asians living abroad. I'm happy with whatever happened on the show. At least, it has changed the perception for Indians living abroad."
Shilpa refrained from making any comments on the rumours of her hosting the second season of 'Big Boss', the Indian version of British 'Big Brother'.
"When any such thing happens, the media will be informed."
Shilpa's next project includes 'The Man' with Sunny Deol in which she would be seen playing the violin for the first time on-screen. Shilpa, who took violin lessons for her role, quipped: "Violin is the single most difficult instrument to play. I am still nursing a bad neck and I do 'bhujangasan' (yoga) everyday to get rid of the pain."
Apart from working in films, she will concentrate on her company S2 Global Productions. She has roped in Manish Jha of 'Matrubhoomi' fame to direct her first home production.
She will also be seen sharing the stage with the Bachchan's at their ongoing 'Unforgettable' tour in London Aug 23-24 at the prestigious 02 Arena, earlier known as the Millennium Dome.
Abhishek Bachchan has fulfilled his 5-year old promise
Well, the story goes that after a splendid audience response to their show at the Caribbean Islands the duo and pa Amitabh Bachchan held a press conference along with stars like Preity and Riteish.
And just like paparazzi across the globe, those at Trinidad looked too curious as well. But what stumped everyone was a candid and unusual question from a certain gentleman that made Ash blush. He asked her if Abhishek had promised her a baby.
Before Ash could reply or dodge the question, the protective papa Amitabh Bachchan, who was sitting alongside, gave a prompt reply: “Every husband promises his wife a baby.”
But that was not it. Just then Abhishek Bachchan dropped the bomb by holding Ash’s hand and saying softly, “I Promise!”
No one in the hall could manage to suppress their laughter including the often reserved Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Vidya Balan is on Vacation
After the release of her latest film, Kismat Konnection, actress Vidya Balan is believed to be taking it easy. The actress is believed to be on a vacation for the next couple of months.viydya
But this is not a planned vacation. In fact, it is a vacation which has been forced on the actress. The actress's next two films, Chenab Gandhi and Pa, do not begin their shooting schedules till another two months. She also has a Vishal Bharadwaj film, which too will begin shooting around September. Besides these few assignments, Vidya hasn't signed any other project. So, till the shoot begins, she has no other option but to sit at home and chill. But she is believed to be putting her vacation to good use. Besides making burkha clad trips to cinema theatres to watch her won film, she is also sitting at home and reading scripts. The actress who is now nine films old in the industry, admits that she was quite nervous before the release of Kismat Konnection. It is for the first time that she rung up people asking them about how they liked the film. Maybe this anxiety has something to do with a certain Shahid Kapur. Incidentally, the director of the film, Aziz Mirza is least bothered by reports on the film, good or bad. He is currently chilling at his farmhouse.

Amitabh’s blog has, of course, drawn a lot of media attention
Although his father Amitabh blogs, the young actor said he won’t start blogging as he does not consider himself as punctual and dedicated as his father in maintaining it.
Amitabh’s blog has, of course, drawn a lot of media attention due to his controversial remarks and satirical style of writing.
“I keep shooting outdoors and I don’t think I can update it regularly, so I don’t want to start it,” Abhishek said.
Meanwhile, Sarkar Raj starring Abhishek, Amitabh and Aishwarya will be hitting the screens this Friday.

Soha and Siddharth have been seeing each other
Soha and Siddharth have been a couple who’ve kept their relationship away from the public glare. The two have rarely been spotted out together and always maintained that they are just ‘good friends’. Well-wishers and common friends, though, think otherwise. Everyone in the industry knows that Soha and Siddharth have been seeing each other for quite some time. The buzz is that a few months back Soha introduced Siddharth to her family and even sought approval from Saif (‘Soha, Siddharth’s pyaar approved’; HiTLIST, Dec 18, 2007).
However, if sources are to be believed then cracks have started appearing in their love life. The biggest display of the strain their relationship is going through is the recent photo shoot Soha did for Maxim. A source reveals that Soha was feeling stifled in the relationship and wanted to break free. What better way than to go for a complete image makeover? However, the scantily clad sexy pictures didn’t go down too well with Siddharth.
A common friend spills the beans on what went wrong. “Soha and Siddharth have been very private about their relationship. Both of them are extremely media-shy and have stayed away from talking about their personal life. However, everyone knows that they have been dating for the longest time and even got into a serious relationship. Problems started happening when Siddharth started acting busy and didn’t have enough time for Soha. Since he does a lot of south movies, there were times when Soha would keep shuttling between Mumbai and Chennai.”
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in 2008 Cannes Film Festival
Bollywood made it's presences felt at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival being held in Cannes, France. Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was present with the her new family including husband Abhishek Bachchan, father in law Amitabh Bachchan and mother in law Jaya Bachchan. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was at the Cannes as part of her role as a model for L'Oreal and was pictured with Hollywood stars Eva Longoria Parker . Also present was Angelina Jolie with husband Brad Pitt. Earlier in the day Angelina was seen at the premiere of her new animated film Kung Fu Panda along with costars Dustin Hoffman and Jack Black.
Priyanka Chopra with all leading hero's of Bollywood
Priyanka Chopra seems to have become a favourite for being in the cast of fantasy and futuristic movies.
If the numerous gossip bits which are floating around come true, Priyanka Chopra who had the luck to be the lady love of India's first superhero in the blockbuster movie 'Krish' will be promoting herself to be the sweet heart of one of the oldest and most famous superhero in the world- Superman.
It is said that the makers of the movie were searching for an Indian actress to play the part and now the director Bryan Singer has already met Priyanka in USA and that she has been fixed for the role in the movie 'Man of Steel'.
It is often said in the film circles that once you are cast in a particular role and if the film becomes a hit, then you are always offered with roles of the similar kind.
This scenario might be talked as a disadvantage by many actresses but for Priyanka Chopra the role that she portrayed in 'Krissh', turned out to be a turning point in her Bollywood career.
The big advantage Priyanka has is that even though she was the heroine in 'Krissh' opposite Hrithick Roshan, fantasy movies are not produced in Bollywood that frequently and when ever a fantasy movie is thought of, the former miss world is considered as the heroine.

Comedian Rajpal Yadav, will be seen locking lips with an American girl
Yes, it’s true! In his forthcoming flick Hastey-Hastey, comedian Rajpal Yadav, will be seen locking lips with an American girl. We spoke exclusively to Rajpal Yadav about it and also about the movie.
“It was a normal experience and nothing which was different. One of my characters in the movie keeps on chasing phirangi girls and even likes to hang around with them. The script demanded it so as an actor it is my job to perform rather than create any trouble around the scene. For me also it was a character and nothing more than that because even as a person I myself did not want to do anything which would look false on the screen. When the movie is released, everybody will see for themselves,’ Rajpal says about the kissing scene.
Since Rajpal has not kissed on screen in the past, we asked him about his initial reaction to the scene, “I was told about the scene when the script was narrated to me. So it is not like that I was not told and suddenly the scene was included. But I had my reservations and even the producer of the film had promised me that the scene would be done as per my convenience and not in an unhealthy manner. So going with the word of the producer I readily agreed to do it. Is there any criteria that a comedian cannot do kissing scenes?” questions Rajpal.
About his wife’s reaction, he says, “Why would she have a problem? It was done on-screen and for a film which the script demanded and I was not doing it in real, it was just a performance. So she was fine with it”.
Hastey-Hastey stars Jimmy Shergill, Rajpal Yadav and Nisha Rawal who is a newcomer in the lead roles. For the first time in his career Rajpal would be playing a triple role of father who is good person at heart, son who is a complete flirt and uncle who is mad.
