Hazel Keech turns into item dancer in Maximum

Hazel Keech turns into item dancer in Maximum
Remember Hazel Keech, the one who played Kareena Kapoor’s confidante in Bodyguard and later on ended up marrying Salman Khan. We are sure, by now you must have recognised her and you would be wondering where the pretty girl disappeared after making her debut in 2011’s blockbuster film.

Well, for some reason, she slipped into oblivion only to resurface in a very hot item number — Aa ante amlapuram in Kabir Kaushik's Maximum with Naseeruddin Shah and Sonu Sood.

When asked as to where she was hiding for the last 10 months, and whether her mentor Salman was aware of this boisterous item number she's done, Hazel says, "There were acting offers post Bodyguard but nothing that I really liked. While I was waiting, I was approached by Sonu Sood to do this item song. At first, I was hesitant, but when I heard the song, I loved it. I told Salman about the offer and he said, 'Go ahead and do it just for the fun of it.' That's exactly what I have done."

The beauty from Essex, UK says, "I'm a trained dancer and I have done popular music videos like Kahin Pe Nigahen in the past. But I have not thought of myself as an item girl. Even while growing up in the UK, I followed Bollywood closely and deeply admired Madhuri Dixit's jhatka-matkas. However, I was dead against doing an item song just for sake of being provocative."

We hope we can soon watch you playing pivotal role in a film!

Marriage can wait for now, avers Kareena Kapoor

Marriage can wait for now, avers Kareena Kapoor
 Kareena Kapoor being the numero uno of Bollywood is presently the most demandable actress in the tinsel town and it is expected that with her upcoming film Heroine will cross all the benchmarks previously set by her.

While Kareena's last few films like Bodyguard and Ra.One touched the 100 crore marks, the actress is now banking hopes on her film with Madhur Bhandarkar to witness this feat come alive once more.

Talking about her film Heroine, Kareena accepts that it was not easy for her to gain the confidence to step into this challenging role. She says, "There can be no bigger joy than seeing your film become a `100 crore hit'. It's given me the courage to get into Heroine. Every director has his own method and I love Madhur's because I'm like that too.

I'm eating, doing yoga, chatting with my staff and suddenly breaking into an emotional scene. To be honest, I am having a blast working with Madhur."

Bebo is so much occupied with the film right now that it is better you don’t ask her about her marriage plans as the diva thinks that marriage is something that can definitely wait."I am on a dream run. I have Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next, all I can say is that marriage can wait for now."

Now, it has to be seen till when the beauty will keep on delaying her marriage!

salman khan not in atul agnihotri next movie

salman khan  not in atul agnihotri next movie
Salman Khan, who has always been a priority of his brother- in -law Atul Agnihotri’s films will not be a part for his movie anymore.

After the downfall of Atul’s movies like Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha and Hello featuring Salman, the former finally hit the bull’s eye with the movie Bodyguard.

It was being said initially that Atul is producing a movie in which Salman will be playing the legendary Rajnikanth, but it couldn’t materialize. After that Atul was also supposedly making the remake of Dookudu, with Sallu playing the lead role. However, for some or the other unknown reasons this particular venture also couldn’t take off.  

And now we have heard that the director is coming up with a new movie but surprisingly Salman will not be a part of it. Confirming the news, Atul said, “It is an original film, not a remake. It is a coming of age naughty love story. The story is really nice and hence we are making the film. We have a title in mind and hopefully we will announce it with the cast in two months time.”

Seems that the actor is old for the role and a fresh face is the need of the hour.
