Asin and Genelia in an Orange War!!!!!!!

Posted: 17 Apr 2009 11:36 PM PDT

The battle has begun between two former south Indian actresses Asin and Genelia now ruling the roost in Bollywood for India's biggest orange soft drink market- South India.Asin has been endorsing Mirinda for the last three years, while Genelia has become Fanta brand ambassador from this year.Tamilnadu alone accounts for 25 percent of the total orange soft drink market in the country. The rivalry between PepsiCo and Coca Cola India for the South Orange market has been bitter, and much juice has flowed in the campaign.Last three years the market leader in the orange category was clearly PepsiCo India's Mirinda, thanks to Asin, while Simran and later Trisha gave stiff competition with Coca Cola India's Fanta.This summer, Fanta has decided to take Mirinda head on by signing up Genelia, the new youth icon in Bollywood who has a huge fan base in south.Says a leading Chennai based brand consultant: " Asin and Genelia are big in Bollywood today after Ghajini and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na respectively. They have already become national brand ambassadors for their respective brands. But the winner in the orange war will be decided by who wins in Tamilnadu, the biggest market for orange soft drink in the country."On Friday (April 17) Genelia, flew to Chennai for a big summer 2009 Fanta launch in Tamilnadu. Genelia was in her elements and said, "It feels great to be associated with Brand Fanta. It has been my favorite sparkling drink for a long time. I am quite thrilled about the launch of Fanta Apple. It's a great product and I am confident that its refreshing taste would find a special appeal amongst all my fans."Two weeks back Asin was in Coimbatore for summer season launch party of Mirinda. Asin's two new television commercials with the theme 'Mirinda Kannu, Konjam Galatta Pannu' have become super hits with the audiences.The buzz in the soft drink market in Tamilnadu is that this summer it is going to be a tough battle between the two orange drinks, and larger than life stars play an important role in the sales. .

Shahrukh Khan lost the chance to pair with Aishwarya Rai

Posted: 17 Apr 2009 11:28 PM PDT

Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pairing always clicked at the box office. Whether it was brother-sister jodi in 'Josh' or romantic pair in 'Mohabbatein' and 'Devdas', the couple was accepted by the audience in every avatar. King Khan was the first choice for Mani Ratman film 'Raavan' but his dates clashed with Aditya Chopra's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and so he lost the chance to act opposite Aishwarya. Abhishek was then signed.SRK was to pair with Ash for 'Chalte Chalte' but finally he dropped her and cast Rani Mukherjee due to his bitter relationship with Salman Khan. But scenario gradually changed and Ash moved out of Salman's life and walked away blissfully with Abhishek Bachchan. Later she formed a good combination with Hrithik Roshan and their chemistry boomed in 'Dhoom 2' and 'Jodhaa Akbar'.Hope, SRK and Ash rebirth their sizzling chemistry and come together to ablaze the silver screen again.

Katrina Kaif relationship with Salman is Too Bad Since last one year

Posted: 17 Apr 2009 11:13 PM PDT

Katrina Kaif has reportedly severed her relations with Salman Khan. Their relations have suffered badly during the last one year. It is said that they are no longer on talking terms. The couple who had a rocking relationship for the last six years seem to be going through a rough patch.There can't be smoke without fire. So, you have a reason to listen to rumours too. And here is the latest gossip in Bollywood. Lovebirds Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan managed to keep their relationship intact in spite of the rumours that they were splitting. However, the true colour is slowly but surely coming out.The news is spreading like wild fire that Katrina is disappointed with boyfriend Salman. She has not forgiven him for his rowdy behaviour and his verbal attack on Shah Rukh Khan in her birthday party. She is blaming Salman for the controversy, as she thinks he should have behaved well as the host of the party. What hurt the actress even more was that he didn't listen to her request to offer an apology to Shahrukh.Everyone knows that initially Katrina Kaif got many of the roles due to her beau Salman Khan who sort of forced many directors who were desirous to cast him in their films. Salman's presence almost ensures the success of films. Even if some of his films may not be super hits at box office but they always give a decent return to producers.Initially filmmakers were at first hesitant to sign her because of her linguistic shortcomings. Katrina saw success with the 2005 film Sarkar where she played the brief role of Abhishek Bachchan's love interest. Her next release was Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, where in she was paired opposite Salman Khan.Katrina Kaif in the year 2007 Katrina's first release was the hit movie Namastey London, wherein she starred as a British Indian alongside Akshay Kumar for the second time after Humko Deewana Kar Gaye that was a box office dud.She then appeared in a series of box office hits that include Apne, Partner and Welcome. 2008 saw her play a negative role for the first time in Abbas-Mustan's super hit action thriller Race. She played the role of Saif Ali Khan's secretary who is secretly in love with him. She appeared next in Anees Bazmee's box office blockbuster Singh Is Kinng alongside Akshay Kumar for the fourth time..

And Sidhartha quickly gravitated towards his childhood buddy Ranbir Kapoor for his next film Bachna Ae Haseenon.It was widely believed that Saif would be back in Sid Anand's next which he is committed to make for producer Sajid Nadiadwala.But the producer confirms that Ranbir is the lead in the film that Sid Anand is making for Nadiadwala.The surprising bit of casting is the hot-and-happening Priyanka Chopra. Though neither producer nor director are willing to confirm, according to dependable sources Priyanka who's currently shooting with Uday Chopra for Yashraj Films Pyar Impossible will be teamed up with Priyanka for the first time.The actress has lately been window-shopping for the hottest male actors in Bollywood and has so far managed films with all the three Khan superstars, several projects with Abhishek
Bachchan Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan, has just completed Kaminey with Shahid Kapoor and is now on to the new generation of stars with Ranbir leading the bright pack.The pairing spree certainly gives Priyanka an edge over her rivals.Siddhartha Anand describes the Ranbir-Priyanka film as, "A rom-com which I've specialized in over the years. But this is a twisted one with a twang and all that jazz." .

SRK - Salman Khan to clash?

Posted: 17 Apr 2009 12:08 AM PDT

If all goes well, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan will come face to face on July 3. The clash is purely professional, what with their respective films - SRK's DULHA MIL GAYA and Salman's WANTED - hitting the screens on that Friday.DULHA MIL GAYA producer Viveck Vaswani is eyeing 3rd July because "July 4 is Independence Day in America and Shah Rukh enjoys a massive following there. I would like to capitalize on the Independence Day weekend, " Viveck tells me.Which means DULHA MIL GAYA will clash with Salman Khan's WANTED. "If Boney Kapoor says he's committed for 3rd July and requests me to shift my film to another week, I will do so. But so far there haven't been any talks, " Viveck clarifies.DULHA MIL GAYA is far from complete. Reportedly, SRK's portions remain to be filmed."The talkie is complete. Just one qawwali remains to be shot, which can be included at the last minute too, " Viveck reveals. He also rubbishes rumours that SRK has delayed the film."Shah Rukh had informed me at the very outset of his busy schedule and the possibility of the film getting delayed. The delay is not because of him, it's because of me. An important schedule went haywire when my father passed away. Later, Shah Rukh suffered an injury on my sets, hence things have been pushed forward."Meanwhile, DULHA MIL GAYA continues to remain in news. The latest is, Anil Ambani's Big Pictures has relinquished the rights of the project. True?"Yes, they have. The withdrawal was due to re- strategizing the company, given the current economic scenario. But I'll offer them the film once it's ready. If they want to pick up the rights then, it's okay. Else, the money invested by Big will be refunded at the time of release, " he states. .

Anushka Sharma loses golden chance due to YRF contract

Posted: 17 Apr 2009 12:20 AM PDT

It's touted as the biggest hit in the history of Telugu cinema. And now Arundhati is all set to be remade into Hindi.Many producers including Ghajini's Madhu Mantena were vying for the Hindi remake rights.But the producer of the Telugu producer M. Shyam Prasad Reddy has decided to remake the film in Hindi.Sonu Sood who played the main antagonist in the Telugu film and is all set to encore the same part in Hindi, confirms these developments.Confirming these developments Sood says, "I'm excited because we all worked very hard on making the Telugu original something special. Lots of producers wanted to remake it in Hindi. But now the original producer has decided to go for it.The Hindi Arundhati will be far more expensive and polished. We start shooting in June. "Sood has already started preparing for the part. "The Hindi version will have to be severely revised."The remakes expert Priyadarshan was approached to direct Arundhati in Hindi. Apparently Priyan has no time at such short notice."And the original director Kodi Ramkrishna can't understand Hindi. So we're probably going with a guy named Rahul who did all the special effects in Tamil."And now for the most crucial question. Who plays the central role of Arundhati in this woman-dominated film? Though no one is willing to commit to any name sources reveal that the makers of Arundhati were very keen to sign Anushka Sharma who starred with Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
Says the source, "They needed someone strong robust young and determined and very North Indian as the lead in Hindi. They really wanted Anushka Sharma. She was perfect.But the producer was under the impression that she's under contract with Yashraj Films and unable to do any outside film. Now they might settle for the actress who played the lead in the Telugu Arundhati in Hindi. Coincidentally her name too is Anushka."Surprisingly Arjan (Fashion) Bajwa who played the romantic lead in Arundhati is no part of the Hindi remake.When questioned Arjan says, "They haven't asked me. Even if they had I wouldn't do it. Have you seen what has been done to my role in the Telugu film?" .

Aishwarya and SRK: Not meant to be together

Posted: 16 Apr 2009 11:38 PM PDT

Shah Rukh and Ash sizzled on screen as a twin brother-sister jodi in 'Josh'.Then their pairing was accepted in Aditya Chopra's 'Mohabbatein' and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas' too. They really had good chemistry.But that was that. They were not supposed to act together after that.It all started when Ash's ex boyfriend barged into the sets of 'Chalte Chalte' and Ash ended up being chucked out in favor of Rani Mukerji.Ash never warmed up to SRK and Rani after that. Things soured badly between Sallu and her too.She moved on happily with the Bachchans, some international films and let her chemistry work better with Hrithik Roshan.Recently Mani Ratnam wanted to cast Shahrukh in the lead role opposite Ash in his latest bilingual film 'Ravana' which he's working on currently.Now after things didn't work out for him in Raju Hirani's '3 Idiots' and Shankar's 'Robot', he seemed to have some free time.Mani had then spoken to him about 'Ravana' and the superstar expressed interest in the project. He wanted a good film in his kitty and didn't care so much about the fact that Ash was the leading lady.But before Mani could come to Mumbai and give him a detailed script narration, Aditya Chopra approached SRK for his comeback film 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'.

And the actor gave his dates to his dear friend.Mani didn't want to delay the film and he took Abhishek Bachchan as the film's male lead instead of SRK.So SRK and Ash lost a chance to work together again. Not that they mind, but maybe their pairing would have worked wonders for their careers. And maybe it's a chance lost! .

Katrina Kaif ’s loss is Asin’s gain

Posted: 16 Apr 2009 01:27 AM PDT

A girl from down south Tamil Nadu stepped into the glam-world of Bollywood alongside Mr. perfectionist Amir Khan in Ghajini. It seems now the gorgeous lady is planning to hit all the biggies of Bollywood starting with the top three Khan's of the tinsel town. Where she is starring opposite Bollywood's bad boy Salman Khan in London Dreams, we have heard that she would also be seen opposite Badshah Shahrukh Khan, that too under the dream banner of Yash Raj Films. Initially it was Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif, who was going to don this role but Salman's dushmani with Shahrukh, earned Asin this flick. It's not the first time and first girl friend of Sallu that our Badshah didn't wanted to work with. Previously SRK was not even interested in working with Ashwariya Rai in Chalte Chalte and it was Rani Mukherjee who benefited from this.Well, all we can say is that the stars are shining bright for Asin and she should make the most of it as it's said, "Make hay while the sun shines."

Asin & Salman Khan -Ajay shoot at 'blue' Eiffel Tower

Vipul Shah is taking every effort to make his film London Dreams as grand as possible. While he had hired a Hollywood cinematographer to shoot his last film Namastey London to capture London like never seen before on Indian screen, this time he is going beyond the British lands to add new glitz and glimmer to London Dreams .Vipul Shah took special permission to shoot at the Blue Eiffel Tower. London Dreams would be the only film to have the Blue Eiffel Tower featured in the world. That makes Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Asin, the only celebrities in world to shoot at the Blue Eiffel Tower. This will be the same scene where Salman Khan kneels and proposes to Asin in the film that made news some months back. Ajay Devgan too shot before the Blue Eiffel Tower in a separate sequence.For those wondering why did Eiffel Tower go blue, France had marked the start of its six-month presidency of the European Union by lighting up the Eiffel Tower in blue with yellow stars in spirit with the EU flag.The 300-metre (984-foot) high tower, France's most recognizable monument, took on its blue hue with a giant circle of stars every evening for two months from June 30, 2008.The tower's standard night-time lighting since New Year's Eve in 1985 has been orange-gold but for the first time it turned blue with yellow stars. .

After apologizing to the Indian barbers for incorporating the word 'Barber' in the title of his home production, sharukh-khan-2Billu Barber and subsequently removing it, Shah Rukh Khan has now apologized to Indian cricket's living legend Sunil Gavaskar for a taunt that he buys his own team if he wanted to run one.The King Khan before departing for South Africa as the IPL season 2 begins there, said, "I have not said anything against Gavaskar. I just wanted to have breathing space to try something new. I have sent him an apology letter because he was in America that time, ""Due to the wonderful methodology that television applies, that comment was for people who don't understand cricket and who are still telling me how to run the team. If Gavaskar asks me to walk on my head and run the team, I would.Anything that Gavaskar says that has to do with cricket, if he mentions, should be followed, " SRK said.One can recall that delivering the taunt, Shah Rukh at a press conference in Mumbai last week had stated, "I have great respect for Mr Gavaskar.

I have spent lot of money on my team.
