Mona bags the biggie ‘3 Idiots’

She made you laugh and cry as 'Jassi', and her moves on 'Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena' have left audiences spellbound, and now, Mona Singh fans can get ready for more as the Telly actress is gearing up for her big screen debut. Mona Singh has been planning her big Bollywood debut for 3-long years now, and finally the actress has signed her first movie '3 Idiots' which is being directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
Mona Singh will be playing Kareena Kapoor's older sister in '3 Idiots'. Mona is ecstatic with the thought that she would get to share the screen with superstars Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor; the actress expressed, “I couldn't have asked for a better launch pad.”
Director Rajkumar Hirani is known to be quite picky when it comes to casting actors in his movies, but looks like he is convinced about Mona's acting prowess as ‘Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin’.

SRK's tour no longer Tempt-ing

Just three days remaining for the 'Temptations' to kick-off, and actor King Khan's tour is already in a big trouble as various organizers have pulled out from the show at the last minute. Shahrukh was to tour Germany's three cities, Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt starting October 18th, but the actor was in a shock when the company 'Sensasian Media' backed out of the tour.
Bollywood actresses Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were all set to tour, and Arjun Rampal too was on board for the world tour, but little did the stars know that the 'recession' would hit their show as well. While the German sponsor has pulled out his support, the Spain sponsor are still keen on having the show, but it makes no economic sense to take the stars all the way to Spain for just a single show, so that has been cancelled as well.
Shahrukh and his tour will however, be performing in Dubai later this month. The cancellation of the shows at the last minute has put Shahrukh's reputation at risk, and the star is quite upset with the Moranis Brothers, who were assigned the task of promoting the show.
So looks like for now, the Mumbai to Dubai will be the only ‘Temptation’ trip; not sure if this would be a very ‘Tempting’ proposition for the stars

Salman's respect for the Sikhs

Actor Akshay Kumar proved that 'Singh is Kinng', and now it is time for Salman to pay his tribute to the brave community in his next 'Heroes'. Actor Salman Khan revealed that he did not shave for days and grew his moustache and beard which was one of his ways of paying respect to the holy Sikh religion.
The Sikh religion forbids smoking, and when Salman learnt about the fact the actor even gave up his smoking habit. When we asked Sallu if the rumors were true, the actor expressed, “Normally, I don't talk about it, but it’s true that I gave up smoking during the shoot of the movie (‘Heroes’) as I believe that if you are going to respect somebody's religion then, they will respect yours.”
Co-stars Sunny Deol, Dino Morea, Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta were so impressed with Salman's dedication that they have started calling him ‘The True Hero'.

Priyanka-n-Kangana gear up to ‘A’ce

'Fashion' is one of the most awaited movies of the year, and the controversial movie which threatens to expose the dark side of the fashion world has been finally cleared by the Censors, but with an 'A' certificate. The censors found the love making scene shots on Priyanka and her boyfriend to be quite bold; they also stated that Kangana’s intimate scenes were quite vulgar as well. The Censor also had issues with scenes in which Priyanka and Kangana are shown taking 'Marijuana', and snorting and injecting 'drugs'.
The Censor board felt that such scenes could leave a bad impact on the audience especially the ones under the age of 18 so, although the board has decided to clear the movie, it has tagged 'Fashion' with an 'A' certificate. Madhur, who was hoping the censor would be flexible enough to tag Fashion with 'U' certificate instead which would have helped pull crowd from all age groups, has no choice now but to accept the censors decision.
On a positive note, the censor’s decision could very well act as a silver lining as the ‘A’ tag might help pull hoards of 18+ audiences to checkout some ‘skin show’ by Priyanka and of course the Kangana ‘Kandy’ in ‘Fashion’.

Kat-n-John in ‘New York’

She dared her boyfriend by signing a movie opposite Salman's biggest enemy, Shahrukh Khan, and now, if sources are to be believed then, Katrina has agreed to work with Salman's next big opponent, John Abraham.
Katrina, who has been mostly seen in Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan starrer movies, now wants to explore Bollywood’s younger talent and that could have very well be the reason for Kat to agree to work with John. Yash Chopra is yet again the man, who turned the ‘almost impossible’ to a ‘possible reality’ as he managed to convince Katrina to do a movie with John Abraham and Niel Nitin Mukesh in the lead. A Yashraj flick with two young Bollywood heartthrobs coupled with the loads of ‘green bills’; it doesn’t get better than that, and Kat was quick to grab the offer.
The movie which is tentatively titled 'New York' will be directed by Kabir Khan, who had earlier directed 'Kabul Express' with John in the lead. In one of his interviews Salman had expressed that he would not appreciate Kat working with SRK, Vivek or John; and Salman won't be too excited about Kat playing John’s co-star.
What seems to be really interesting though is that Kat has signed movies with both SRK and John when Salman is away in London.
‘The Kat is sure at play, when her Salman is away’.

‘Singh is Kinng’ team crowns the winners.

Main Bhi Kinng’ competition was hosted by Radio Mirchi, and Akshay Kumar along with his ‘Singh is Kinng’ team crowned the winners. After the movie painting promotion event, Akshay and Katrina rushed to the Taj President hotel at Cuffee Parade in Mumbai, where the event was being hosted.
Akki and Kat were joined by co-stars Kirron Kher, Neha Dhupia, Javed Jaffrey, Sonu Sood and Sudhanshu Pandey.

Salman supports Bihar victims

He may be away in London shooting for Vipul Shah's 'London Dreams', but Salman's heart still yearns for the flood victims in Bihar. Salman Khan, who is currently working on three biggies - Anil Sharma's 'Veer', Vipul's 'London Dreams' and Subhash Ghai's 'Yuvvraj', is sure one of the busiest stars in Bollywood. In fact, Salman is so busy that he could not make it for the 'Eid' celebrations with his family and close friends in Mumbai.
Despite his hectic schedule, Salman has removed time for charity and will be making a quick trip to Mumbai to perform at a charity event designed to raise funds for victims of Bihar floods. The concert will be held in Mumbai at the Anderhi Sports complex and Salman will be joined by Ajay Devgan, Nana Patekar and Manoj Bajpai. Salman agreed to the concert as the proceeds go for victims and so he removed time for his tight schedule to make the concert a success, now this is why we say Sallu is quite the 'Yuvvraj'.
