Part proceeds from auction of Jism2 wardrobe to go to PETA, declares Pooja Bhatt
Last we informed you all that Pooja Bhatt, director of Jism 2, has decided to auction clothes that Jism 2 cast will wear in the film, but that time we didn’t tell you what was the intention behind doing it and where the money will be used.
Well, here we are with the update, it is learnt that the decision to auction the clothes has been taken so the money earned by it can be given to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Jism 2, a sequel to Bipasha Basu and John Abraham-starrer 2003 release Jism, stars Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh.
"Part proceeds from the auction of Jism2 wardrobe to go to PETA India! Woof- Woof indeed," said a post on Jism 2 Twitter page. Jism 2 director Pooja Bhatt confirmed the same by re-tweeting it.
Poorva Joshipura, PETA India's chief functionary, praised Pooja for extending the support. "Pooja Bhatt, Sunny Leone, and co-producer Dino Morea are all already supporters of PETA's homeless dog adoption campaign. We give Pooja Bhatt and the entire Jism 2 team two paws up for taking that initiative further by making PETA India a beneficiary of the Jism 2 wardrobe auction," Joshipura said in a statement.
Well, now we can say, good job Pooja!

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!

Vidya Balan to launch Indian Film Festival in Melbourne
The little birdie chirps that Indian Film Festival of Melbourne that runs through June 11-22, 2012, will have the launch of its festival programme by the National Award winning actress and film star Vidya Balan on Friday 11th May, 2012, at The Investment Centre, Collins St., as the festival's ambassador.
On Saturday 12th May, she will be at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground, presenting the match ball to umpires in the middle of the MCG prior to the Richmond vs Sydney match. She is the first Indian to have the honor of doing this.
While talking to the sources, Indian Film Festival of Melbourne Director Mitu Bhowmick Lange said, “I am delighted that Vidya Balan is coming to Melbourne to launch the festival program. It is an honour for us, as she is inarguably India's biggest actor right now. Vidya is the true embodiment of a festival that endeavors to showcase the sheer breadth and evolution of Indian cinema.”
Vidya Balan has this to say about it: “I am very honoured to be an ambassador for the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne which has done so much to spread the word about the vibrancy of Indian cinema in Australia. I love the format of the festival and the wide range of films screened.”
So here Vidya brings another honour to the country!
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is set to be the global face of UN girl child campaign
Elegant beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last in news regarding speculations of her attending the Cannes Festival this year. But here we have some useful update about the beauty queen. It is learnt that the actor has agreed to be a part of the United Nations’ Save the Girl Child campaign.
And it was even before Indian citizens and state governments went hysterical over the topic of discussion on Aamir Khan’s TV show Satyamev Jayate, female foeticide, Ash was offered a chance to campaign for the girl child by United Nations Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon.
This happened at the Ambani party, to which the high-profile gentleman and various top Bollywood stars, including Aamir, were invited and after mulling it over, Ash has said ‘yes’ to being part of the campaign.
As mother to a baby girl (Aaradhya) born a few months ago (November 16), we’re sure Ash had no qualms about accepting the offer. All she must have checked is her schedule. The actor supports various other causes, including eye donation for the Eye Bank Association of India, Smile Train for children with cleft lip, and many others.
With big Bollywood stars coming forward and showing their support to the girl child, let’s just hope they are able to bring about a big change in the mindset of millions of Indians who crave a male child. And with Aishwarya leading the way, the movement could trigger a global change, too. What do you think?
Tamannaah has been roped to play Sridevi
Finally it is south actress Tamannaah who will be seen playing Sridevi in an upcoming movie featuring Ajay Devgn in lead role. Lately, a lot of B-Town names were apparently being talked about by the filmmakers for this particular role opposite Devgn but eventually it went to Tamannaah.
Buzz says that the names floating around were Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma. But sources say that it was always south actress Tamannaah Bhatia who is now supposed to essay this role.
Tamannaah had already been signed on for this Sajid Khan remake of Himmatwala, which starred Jeetendra and Sridevi and had hit theatres in 1983. Apparently, this is just a 20-day call sheet for the actress. The question being raised is why the makers were talking about the top actresses in Bollywood when the south actress had already been signed on to essay Sridevi's role!
This was one of Sridevi's earliest films which catapulted the young actress to fame and fortune. Some people claim the makers wanted to bring in a south actress who was well-established similar to what Sridevi was when she did this flick.
Well, nice choice we must say

Ali Zafar will do a cameo Tere Bin Laden sequel
Last we came up with the report of Tere Bin Laden sequel been taken off, and here we come up with another update on the same.
Multitalented Pakistani native Ali Zafar, who garnered great applause for his comic act in Tere Bin Laden, is all set to feature in the film’s sequel but only in a cameo role. We know that the actor had a full-fledged role in the prequel.
The 2010 laugh riot, directed by Abhishek Sharma was a surprise hit with Zafar and Pradhuman Singh in the lead roles. And now Sharma is coming up with the sequel which is interestingly titled as Tere Bin Laden 3.
"Tere Bin Laden Part 3 is coming. Abhishek has narrated me the story...There was one character that I really liked a lot. It is a cameo but it is interesting. I only told him if he could allow him to do that role. He also got excited with this idea. So we are working on this," said Zafar.
The first part was a humorous take on Osama Bin Laden and the upcoming film is set post Osama’s death. The pre-production of the film started from May 2, which is also the death anniversary of Osama.
Well, we wonder who is supposed to come in lead role in the sequel!
Ranbir Kapoor might get to play vampire in Bloody Veer
In the short span of his Bollywood career, Ranbir Kapoor has got to play quite memorable roles in movies such as Rajneeti, Rockstar, etc.
And if all goes well, in an upcoming film he might get to portray a character that has never been played in the Indian film history. We wonder if there is any girl in the world who doesn’t yearn for Robert Pattinson of Twilight. And now we might have Bollywood version of Robert Pattinson in Ranbir.
Buzz says that Ranbir Kapoor will play a vampire in Bloody Veer. As per sources the film is a light-hearted funky venture and one could say it’s the coming together of Wake up Sid and Twilight. It is about hip youngsters and a gang of friends. It's a fun film with a dash of humour and romance. Ranbir has not done this kind of a role and is pretty excited about playing a vampire and is going through the script.
Bloody Veer is being produced by Siddhartha Jain and will mark the directorial debut of Heeraaz Marfatia, who closely worked with Shekhar Kapur in the past. Siddhartha Jain remained unavailable for comment.
We are sure this has come as surprise for the Ranbir enthusiasts! Let’s keep the fingers crossed and wait for this breathtaking vampire to shine on the silver screen!

Jimmy Shergill compliments his co-star Karisma Kapoor for Dangerous Ishq
It is known that Bollywood beauty Karisma Kapoor is going to make a grand come back with Vikram Bhatt’s 3D project Dangerous Ishq and her enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for the curtains to be raised as the flick is all set to hit theatres on May 11.
Karisma is known among the notable actresses of the Indian Film Industry and everyone knows that she is blessed with an extraordinary acting talent as she hails from the first family of the Bollywood town; Kapoor family. She has always earned praises from her directors and co-stars for her way of working and the new admirer in the list is co-star Jimmy Shergill, who is all carried away by her focus and dedication.
Jimmy will be seen as a police officer in the flick; on being quizzed about the experience of working with Karisma Kapoor, he praised the actress and said, “Karisma is a superb actress. She is very disciplined and focused. Her character in the film goes through 500 years and she has portrayed each of the transitions very nicely. She would be seen in different looks”.
He further revealed, “Dangerous Ishq has been shot in 3D and Vikram has brought experts from North America for the film. It has been brilliantly shot in 3D.”
The film is currently among the most awaited ones and has Rajneesh Duggal playing Karisma’s love interest.
Well, with so many singing praises, we just hope the film stands up to all expectations!
Jannat 2 is not a rip-off of Lord of War, film keeps you engaged
Before the release of Jannat 2, it was said to be the rip-off of Nicolas Cage’s Lord of War, but now as the film has released in the theatres, the truth is out in open for all to see and pass their verdict.
Though it seems as if Lord of War is present somewhere in the background but the movie is not totally based on the Hollywood hit. The film revolves around the hitherto unexplored-in-Bollywood territory of arms trafficking.
Earlier the comparisons were made because the Emraan Hashmi starrer also deals with arms and ammunition like the Hollywood one. However, this film by Kunal Deshmukh is entirely different. As always Emraan has done a fair job playing the pakka Dilli wala who has no shame in admitting himself to be a kutti kamini cheez as his name goes Sonu Dilli KKC.
Involved in the illegal trading of guns, Emraan’s character believes that this way he is making the life easier for all who wants to kill someone or the other. But his ideologies change as he finds love in Dr. Jhanvi played by Esha Gupta. This is when our hero signs a deal with ACP Pratap played by Randeep Hooda, and helps him to plunge deeper into the arms racket.
Must say that Randeep stands as a show stealer throughout the film and if Emraan is the base then Hooda is surely the backbone of this building named Jannat 2!
Surely to be watched for some thrilling moments!
1920 – Evil Returns to release in the theatres on July 13
After watching his films such as 1920, Haunted 3D, one can place an easy bet that Vikram Bhatt whip hand when it comes to making horror flicks.
Now the filmmaker is back to scare the audience once again as he is coming with the sequel of horror flick 1920 that came in 2008, titled 1920 – Evil Returns. It is a super natural thriller and now the release date of the film has been fixed.
It is learnt that the film will hit the screens on the scary date of Friday the 13th of July, 2012. Produced by BVG Films (A division of ASA Productions and Entertainment Pvt Ltd), the film stars Aftab Shivdasani, Tia Bajpai and Vidya Malvade.
The sequel has been directed by Bhushan Patel while story and screenplay has been penned by Vikram Bhatt and Amin Hajee together. The music has been given by Chirantan Bhatt. Few days back when sources quizzed Aftab about the film, he said, “This was a completely different type of movie from my earlier roles. But I put everything to bring the character to life."
Well, we hope that you have succeeded in your mission Aftab!

Amitabh Bachchan mesmerizes with his dance moves in Kammo from Department
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan sure knows how to cast a spell on audiences! In fact he is really a magician! Watching him dance, sing, act, or for that matter, just watching him is mesmerizing!
The latest song from Ram Gopal Varma’s film Department has made its way on the internet and be sure of the fact that this track, titled Kammo, will be played during marriages. Buzz says that Kammo is basically a wedding song where we see Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt shaking a leg together.
As one can see in the song they are seen celebrating the wedding of Rana Daggubati and Anjana Sukhani. The lyrics of Kammo Haan tu toh beta gaya kaam se…Ho gaya tera kaam somewhat remind you of the song from Masti Ek Kunwara Phir Gaya Maara, since both the songs poke fun at the groom!
Well, while Ram Gopal Varma is known to play with his camera angles, the songs of his movies are not really in the playlist of listeners! However, with Department, RGV, against his grain, has included some foot tapping numbers in the music album. Nathalia Kaur’s hot song Dan Dan Cheeni and Sanjay Dutt’s Thodi Si Jo Pi Li Hai are already ruling the charts.
Watch the video of Kammo from Department and sound off in comments.

Chitrangada Singh hunting hard to get over her image
Very often, it happens in the tinsel town that the onscreen performance of the Bollywood actors leaves a distinct impression in the minds of their enthusiasts and they start recognizing the stars with the characters played by them in the reel life.
The latest news making its way is that Bollywood diva Chitrangada Singh is experiencing the same phase. It is known that the talented lady won the hearts of audience by playing Geeta Rao in her debut Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, her outstanding performance has left an unforgettable impression in the minds of people that even after nine years they still recognise the actress with her on screen character; Geeta Rao.
A little birdie from the town informed that the actress is struggling hard to get over her nine years old image. On being quizzed, Chitrangada asserted, “I don't know if I have still managed to make people forget Geeta Rao and remember another character that I have played. I am still kind of struggling to get over it and make people remember me by something else that I have played. I think it's still the most special one”.
Presently, Geeta oops…Chitrangada is occupied with her forthcoming project I, Me aur Main featuring John Abraham and Prachi Desai in the lead roles. Her next upcoming is helmed by Sudhir Mishra opposite Arjun Rampal.
Chitrangada we hope that your performance in the upcoming will establish a new image of yours!

Ishaqzaade is touted to another great version of Romeo-Juliet
It has been five centuries since William Shakespeare wrote his epoch drama Romeo Juliet, but such is its fan following that it continues to be interpreted through different cultural nuances down the ages.
And the latest adaptation of Romeo Juliet is in the form of Ishaqzaade, which has been set up against the cultural backdrop of Hindi hinterland where the guns still rule the roost and it is the ability to take it out and shoot it that determines the social standing of a person in the society.
With Habib Faisal holding the baton to direct the movie, one really not need to worry about the drama content that the film would provide, as he is one of the most accomplished writers and theatre professional.
Added icing on the cake for the movie is that it has two new faces Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra, who does not have a baggage from the past so they would facilitate in letting the characters they portray on the screen, become their talking point.
It is after a long time Yash Raj Films is making a comeback in action genre but they have not done away with their core USP, Romance, as it is romance that is the underlining motif of the film having seasoning in the form of hardcore violence as it is a wont in the vicinity of UP.
Hopefully the film will create wonders on the box-office window!
Anushka Sharma playing a small but important role in Yash Chopra's untitled film
Finally all the speculation regarding Anushka Sharma’s role in the Shahrukh Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer romantic saga with Yash Chopra is clear.
Earlier the rumours were making rounds that the film, which is marking the comeback of Yash Chopra in direction after Veer Zara, features a love triangle. It was said that SRK will have two leading ladies in the film in the form of Katrina and Anushka.
But now the air is clear as Anushka is not one of the leading ladies in the film but she is just playing a small but important role in Yash Chopra’s untitled film. The actress has a cameo in the film which is modeled like the one Rani Mukherjee played in Veer-Zaara.
As per reports, Anushka plays a very quite attentive character in the film. She makes an entry only in the second half. She plays SRK's sounding board, the girl he confides in about his heartbreak. For this role, the actress had to be a good listener and that's a tough one for her because she likes to talk. Now, it’s time to see if Anushka can keep quiet and do her role convincingly!

Kalki Koechlin ended up biting Prosenjit's lips while filming an intense scene for Shanghai
We are sure that this will indeed come as a shocking revelation for the readers as sources inform that Kalki Koechlin's first on-screen liplock, in the upcoming Shanghai with Bengali actor Prosenjit Chatterjee, ended with the young actress attacking the veteran!
Eyewitness presents on the sets during the filming told that while doing an intense smooching scene for her Shanghai, Kalki literally ended up biting Prosenjit. Though Kalki had shot for a split-second kissing scene in Shaitan and Dev D, but this is her first smooching scene onscreen.
Dibakar Banerjee, who is the director of the movie Shanghai, recently revealed to the sources that, "Kalki plays an Indian in the movie with a mixed parentage and looks like a foreigner. Prosenjit is a well-known social activist."
He further states that to get into the mood of the scene that was shot in a kitchen, he instructed Kalki to attack Prosenjit. "I told her to make the first move. While filming, she actually bit PC sir's lips!" the director said.
The most funniest part of the story is that Dibakar actually forgot to say "cut" while shooting this scene and instead got busy shooting the tap in the kitchen.
Well we guess Kalki that you really need to take some lessons...no no we are not talking about acting lessons here, we are talking about kissing lessons!

Hrithik Roshan has been offered to become the brand ambassador of Maharashtra
The latest news making way is that Hrithik Roshan is set to help sell the state's sights & sounds to tourists of Maharashtra.
Buzz says that an agency hired by the Government approached Hrithik a few days ago to become the state's brand ambassador. They had sent a mail to Hrithik's team. It was immediately forwarded to him but he hasn't been able to take the final call considering his super busy schedule of Krrish3.
A source close to Hrithik informs that the Government agency wants Hrithik to take a few days off from his schedule to work on an extensive campaign for the state. They have plans to shoot a docu-film with him in places such as Kolhapur, Mahabaleshwar, Raigad and Mumbai. Even a photo shoot has been planned.
Hrithik is busy with Krrish 3 till October so it was speculated that the campaign will start after that only. But other sources inform that Hrithik too is keen on working out his schedule to fit in the camp since he thinks it is a great honour.
But everything depends on the schedule. It remains to be seen how they work out the dates considering Hrithik will be busy for another four-five months.
So now it has to be seen if the agency waits till then!

Hate Story’ movie review
‘Hate Story’ movie review
Yes you read it right. As much as the PR agency of the film would like us to believe, Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘Hate Story’ falls miserably short of being called an erotic thriller. The film is a revenge saga and to put it simply lacks logic.
Damsel seeks revenge and for some reason takes up the profession of a prostitute to get to her enemy. No logic given behind the sudden transformation, but Kavya decides that sleeping with important men is the only way to get through her ultimate enemy, Devaiah.
Even though revenge sagas are not new to Hindi cinema, the premise still held some promise. But sadly due to a weak and prolonging script, the viewers are left bored. For those who are eager to know about whether there are bold scenes or not, well, most scenes are just merely suggestive. There is lot panting, sighing, huffing which just plain suggests lot of action between the sheets but that’s all.
Bengali actress Paoli Dam may titillate you with her bare back in the posters but will leave you unimpressed with a performance which lacks any kind of spark. Nikhil Dwivedi, who plays Paoli friend in the movie, just remains in the background. The baddie of the film, Gulshan Devaiah is perhaps the only actor in the film who gives a convincing performance.
A weak script and weak performance makes this film an ordinary revenge tale. Pitty, considering the way it was being marketed, it could have turned out be a bold erotic thriller and perhaps changed the thriller genre in the industry. But that would be asking for a lot!
Ratings: Two cheers for this one!
