He says that he is completely equipped with a number of Bollywood projects thus he cannot take time out for any TV ventures. Kumar maintains that the film projects are in plenty and they are taking much of his time which is why finding time out for any TV work seems impossible till one and a half year.

Akshay Kumar whose TV ventures have turned much popular among the audiences has done the ventures like Khatron Kay Khilaadi and Master Chef on television. Both the shows got much popular and the masses loved his hosting. He was also paid supremely which made the actor leave with bigger smile on face. All the stars in particular the superstars of Hindi cinema are paid hefty paycheques which turned them utter happy.

He was there at Rajasthan Fashion Week (RJW) along with her costar Sonkashi Sinha to promote the film and launch the exclusive Rowdy Rarthore collection.

Karan Johar’s much-awaited birthday bash for which all the Bollywood celebrities, media and the masses were waiting finally has happened. It took place at the Taj Lands End in Mumbai on Friday night. The who’s who of the film industry turned up to wish the birthday man, the luminous filmmaker of town Karan Johar.

The celebs from Aamir Khan to Shah Rukh Khan to Kajol to Parineeti Chopra to all the prominent faces of the industry came specially to attend this lavish birthday party which was organized by the famed fashion designer Manish Malhotra as Karan gave this task to him. Priyanka Chopra, with whom Karan Johar was not on good friendly terms but at the leventh hour sent her the invite, has come at midnight wearing the Dolce and Gabana gown. She was looking damn gorgeous. The rumors had to shut up now since Priyanka and Karan proved that they were friends.

Gauri Khan, who has not been seen with hubby dear Shah Rukh Khan at parties and KKR matches since quite some time or we can say after the scandal of Shah Rukh and Priyanka came up, specially arrived with husband at Karan’s bash. Gauri and Karan are good pals. Kareena Kapoor and Karishma Kapoor came together. Malika Arora and Amrita Arora too came together. Preity Zinta made entry with Hrithik Roshan and his wife Suzzane. Parineeti Chopra gave the media and Bollywood celebs a big surprise by arriving with Uday Chopra. They came having hands in hands like a couple. Vidya Balan came with beau Siddharth Roy Kapoor.

Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra’s Ishaqzaade has turned out to be the much successful film at the box office. The results and the collections at the ticketing window showed that the movie did remarkably well with the masses. The film is the debut vehicle of Arjun Kapoor, the son of Boney Kapoor and the nephew of Anil Kapoor. Arjun did good acting and his acting skills were appercaited and liked by the critics and the masses.

It is Parineeti’s second movie. Her first was Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl which too went well at the BO but not like Ishaqzaade. But it was Prineeti’s acting that was adored and raved a lot. The movie Ishaqzaade too was made under the big banner of Yash Raj Films. To celebrate the success of the film, a party was thrown on Saturday night where the cast and crew members of the movie came to enjoy. All let their hair down till the wee hours of the night. The party went till the morning at 7 a.m. Parineeti Chopra, Arjun Kapoor and Gauhar Khan enjoyed supremely. Director Habir Faisal too was there. Priyanka Chopra specially came to attend and raise the spirits of cousin Parineeti. Adi Chopra was missing but YRF was represented by Uday Chopra.

It was a big bash which all and sundry fully enjoyed. YRF is already a big banner but now the banner is getting more and more powerful with the coming successes. Uday is these days handling YRF’s banner that operates from Hollywood.

Rakhi Sawant, the controversies queen and the one babe of the tinsel town on whom the controversies aptly fit and get suited a lot, has done an item number in the recently released Hidni film Rakhtbeej. She was there at some party where the leading cast of the movie Mansi Dovhal, Manas Srivastave and the controversies’ hot favorite gal Rakhi Sawant were there in attendance.

The media was present there as well. Rakhi was asked by the reporters ‘what was her character is the movie?’. She responded back that it had better be asked to the director of the movie. Sawant told that a lot of people had asked her about her character in the film since she was seen lying in the poster of the movie. She told that she just had done an item song in the film and there was nothing else. She went on narrating that the song was quite painful as the director repeatedly took many shots for the song. She got utterly tired.

The leading actress of the movie Mansi told to Rakhi at the event that the song was initially was offered to her but she (Rakhi) stole from her. Listening this, Rakhi said to her ‘Toh Kya Item song Karegi, pehle apna tummy toh andar kar ley’ (How you can do an item song since you have a big loose tummy?). Heraing this direct attack from the loud mouth babe, Mansi then thought to be silent.

The movie did not do well at the box office and till now, the collections are pretty less.

Love, Wrinkle Free is a good stuff to watch. The film has interest quotient fully active from the initial reels till the end though post interval portion you gets a bit bored of the unwontedly stretched length of the movie. Overall, the film has potential to attract the viewers. The film is unique in terms of idea. The plotting of the movie is what you can say it is novel. The debutante director makes applauding attempt to churn out a flick which you can enjoy with pop corn in hands grabbing a cushion beneath. The film is called a tribute to the exotic locations and the sandy beaches of Goa.

The story of the movie talks about a couple – husband 38 years old and wife 46 years old. The wife all of a sudden gets pregnant after years of yearning. What happens next is what forms the story on celluloid to interest the audiences.

Savio (Ash Chandler) is an Area Sales Manager at an underwear manufacturing firm. He is dissatisfied with his job. When a female colleague accused him of starring at her breast, he decides enough now with the firm and job. His wife Annie (Shernaz Patel) runs a tiny restaurant and she is the one who mothers hubby and their adopted daughter Ruth, who happens to be a moody teenager with many problems. The middleclass household jolts down when the couple makes the announcement that Annie is pregnant. What follows next is really interesting to watch.

The story is novel and interesting. Script is attention-grabbing. Direction is first rate. Cinematography is a work of art and the locations’ capturing is fabulous. Editing is adequate.

Ash Chandler is fine. Shernaz Patel is a class to watch. Others too make a good impact.

In a nutshell, the movie is a brilliantly made product having innovative stuff to watch.

Rating: 3.5/5

King Khan now does not seem to be the King of Bollywood as he has been under much sufferings and controversies which have put him in problems. Khan’s destiny has what is in store for him, he is upset for the same as he too does not know it at all. The incidents which have been taking place in his life have put him under the shadows of problems. He is under bad phase these days. Apart from the incidents, he has also been losing friends in his circles and Bollywood industry.

Few unforeseen incidents which took place in cricket stadiums last days have spoilt Khan’s reputation. The incidents like Jairpur Staidum and then Wankhede stadium in Mumbai spoiled him utterly. Initially he landed into troubles when he was found smoking cigrattees in Jaipur Staifum. The case was filed against him. And then recently he had brawl with the security guards at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. Post this incident, he was imposed ban of five years of not entering into the stadium.

Rajasthan cop recently went to Shahrukh Khan’s home with summons in hands but he could not meet him there. He just met his family members as Khan was out for Pune to see the match of KKR and Delhi Daredevils.

Well, Shahrukh Khan’s career is now going towards bad times and he has to be extra cautious for it if he wants to stay in limelight and see his career moving forward. Be careful, King khan!

Bollywood’s ace filmmaker Karan Johar is the one who anyone meets starts designing praises for him. He is jolly and amiable and everybody loves him a lot. He is the main attraction rather the central attraction of Bollywood fraternity. Karan is a successful filmmaker. His production house ‘Dharma Productions’ is rated super high in the industry. Karan Johar is going to be 40 now and to celebrate the birthday, he is going to throw a lavish birthday bash this time around. His birthday has quite been in news and on headlines for last many days.

The entire Bollywood industry is to appear on the event. The whole fraternity is waiting for the big day to come. Manish Malhotra, the famed Bollywodo fashion designer, is making all the arrangements for the party which is to take place at a five star hotel in Mumbai.

The B-Town beauties in particular are much eager for the function and all are making peek a boo at others to know who’s going and who’s going to wear what? Deepika Padukone, Karan’s good friend, has said that she is eagerly waiting for his birthday, which is to take place on May 25^th. She says Johar’s birthday would be a big event on the calendar. Padukone utters that Karan is someone who she is fond of. She goes on saying that the minute you come across his company, you begin loving him since he is super jolly. Deepika adds that he makes you feel light-hearted and so young.

The reports suggest that hundreds of guests are expected to hit the birthday bash including Bachchans, Shah Rukh Khan with Gauri, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, , Hrithik Roshan with wife, Ekta Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Ayan Mukherji, Tarun Mansukhani and many others.

Shruti Haasan, the daughter of the legenadry southern star who has also made his presence felt in Bollywood Kamal Haasan, has reportedly shifted to Mumbai now. It has been learnt that she has been searching for a house in Mumbai since very long time and now she got able to zero in one for her. It is situated at 2-BHK flat in the lanes of Bandra.

Post her shifting to Mumbai, Shruti is scheduled to make her first ever public appearance at the event of the animation flick ‘Arjun’. Shruti is these days single and obvisouly ready to mingle. She has broken up with her boyfriend Siddharth. There have been many rumors about the romantic linkup between Shruti and her costar in 3 (Tamil movie) Dhanush. But she denies all the reports and even Dhanush too denies the affair with Shruti. Apparently Dhanush’s wife Aishwarya, who is the director of 3, also denies all gossips about Dhanush’s love with Shruti but in actual she is not happy about her hubby’s alleged affair with Shruti. At the event of the 3’s premiere and post release parties, Aishwarya made a difference from Shruti Haasan and this showed it all.

In Mumbai, Shruti will be looking for the film offers as well. She had made her Bollywood debut as an actress and singer in ‘Luck’ but she could not entice the viewers thus made her journey back to regional films where she did well and is doing good also. But it seems she wants to make it big in Bollywood as she has shifted her base in Mumbai.

U.K’s Madame Tussauds museum is famous for installing the wax statues of the world renowned celebrities from various walks of life in particular from the world of entertainment. Bollywood stars’ wax statutes are much in attention there. And the museum carries the wax statues of the Bollywood celebs like Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit.

Don't jump to conclusions folks! We are talking about the world tour of Madame Tussauds Bollywood superstar collection. Often the museum does the world tour with the wax figures of the celebs and this time around, Madame Tussauds has once again planned to make the world tour and with them, the wax figures of Bollywood celebrities will tread along. The wax statues of the Hindi film industry’s celebs, which will accompany the museum on world tour, include Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan. Salman Khan’s wax statute has been sidelined and the same is the case with Madhuri Dixit’s wax figure i.e. it will not also be included on the list.

The world locations so far have been announced include Hong Kong and Bangkok (Thailand). Other locations will be announced later. Since Amitabh Bachchan’s wax figure is already there in Hong Kong thus it has not been included. Salman Khan’s fans are in plenty in both of these locations (in particular in Asian countries) then the reason of dropping his wax figure is beyond understanding. Well, it means Shah Rukh has taken the lead on this, hmmm.

We all have been hearing the stern and direct comments being thrown on each other’s sides by Ram Gopal Verma and Sanjay Dutt after the failure of Ram Gopal Verma’s Department. Both turned like foes to each other if seen their harsh comments. What happened to both of them all at once after the film’s falling at the box office? This is simply weird. Prior to movie’s release, both in particular Ramu was filled with praise of Sanjay Dutt and even he used his voice in a specially arranged song.

Ram Gopal Verma has been using the advantage and edge of social networking sites to split on Sanjay Dutt. He now drags Kangana Ranuat into the controversies. We all know Sanjay and Kangana have not been on good friendly terms since quite some time and their friendship days have been off long back. Thus Ram took the edge of the matter and said that He throw out Kangna of the cast of the fikm because of Sanjay Dutt as he did not want her on board.

Kangana is silent on the matter and does not want to make comments or fire back to these controversies. She is busy with the shooting of Shootout at Wadala. Ranaut as of now wants to stay away from these things.

Ram Gopal Verma further sprinkles fire on the matter by targeting to Sanju and his business manager Dharam Oberoi saying make a better film out of the upcoming Zilla Ghaziabad.

It now seems that the relationship of Ramu and Sanju is over now. We would never see both of them working together as the matter has turned much worse between the two. But yes, Kangana can join in Ram Gopal Verma in his any new project.
